Song Qingwan soon found out who the two nobles who were to be sent to the palace were. They were Lin Wantang and Li Caiwei.

Lin Wantang was chosen by the princess herself, but Li Caiwei begged for it shamelessly. In order to enter the palace, she knelt at the door of the princess's mansion for two hours.

Ever since Li Caiwei's mother, Wang, was imprisoned and executed, Li Caiwei and Li Jinjiang completely fell out of favor with their father.

Lord Li learned from his mistakes and married the daughter of a minor official as his principal wife, threatening that even if he could never give birth to a legitimate son, he would not let Li Jinjiang inherit his family business.

Li Caiwei pleaded in vain and had to find another way. Just then, news came out that the eldest princess was going to present her beauty to the emperor, and Li Caiwei felt that her chance had come!

So she tried every possible means to get the opportunity to enter the palace. Just when Li Caiwei was happy, the news that Lin Wantang was also going to enter the palace reached her ears.

Thinking about the opportunity she had worked so hard to get, and Lin Wantang actually delivered it to her without her having to fight for it, Li Caiwei was so angry that her teeth were about to break.

"Lin Wantang, let's wait and see!"

Lin Wantang would never have thought that she had made an enemy for herself without doing anything.

Song Qingwan came to visit Lin Wantang with a box of medicine. Lin Wantang was painting.

"What is Sister Lin drawing?"

"Wan'er! You're here. I didn't expect to see you again!"

Lin Wantang put down the brush and held Song Qingwan's hand with joy on his face.

"I just heard the news, and I thought it would be inconvenient to see you again if I entered the palace."

"I didn't expect that, Wan'er. I don't want to enter the palace at all."

Song Qingwan felt distressed when she saw Lin Wantang's lonely look. She knew that Lin Wantang loved Prince Yu, and even being his concubine became a luxury.

"Sister Lin, now that things have come to this, you should take care of yourself."

"I know, I'm just complaining to you. It's a great blessing for me, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, to be able to enter the palace and become a noble lady."

Although Lin Wantang is usually harsh in her words, she is actually a filial child, and Lord Lin naturally can't bear to part with his daughter.

On the day the imperial edict came down, Lord Lin would go to the princess's residence in person to ask the princess to revoke her order.

Lin Wantang stopped his father. How could his father, who was a weak figure, make the princess change her mind?

If the eldest princess is unhappy, the Lin family will be in trouble.

Therefore, Lin Wantang has already made preparations to enter the palace. Even if she is not favored and lives alone for the rest of her life, she will accept it.

Song Qingwan took out the medicine from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Wantang, who looked at her in confusion.

"what is this?"

"If my sister wants to compete for your favor someday, this medicine can help you get pregnant quickly."

"So magical?" Lin Wantang widened his eyes.

"Yes, but this medicine has certain risks. You may get pregnant with multiple fetuses after taking it, so Sister Lin should use it with caution."

Lin Wantang nodded and carefully put the medicine into her arms. Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea, and no one knows what will happen next.

Lin Wantang has no desire to compete for favor, but there is no guarantee that others will let her go, so she will keep the medicine carefully, perhaps it will come in handy.

When Song Qingwan came out of Lin Wantang's house, she remembered Zhong Xuejiao's jade pendant which was still in her arms, so she turned a corner and went to Prince Huai's Mansion.

Prince Huai's Mansion was about three blocks away from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Song Qingwan did not take a carriage, but chose to walk slowly.

The capital of the Great Sage Dynasty was still very prosperous, with people coming and going in an endless stream in the streets and alleys.

Tea houses, taverns and shops are everywhere, and various shouts can be heard one after another.

The buildings on both sides of the street are majestic and magnificent, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, demonstrating the architectural art and cultural heritage of this dynasty.

In the square in the city center, people gather together to watch acrobatic performances or taste local specialties.

Just as Song Qingwan was strolling leisurely, a familiar male voice called her.

"Song Qingwan"

Song Qingwan turned around and it turned out to be Yan Yu.

"Why are you here? Where are you going?"

"I'm on my way to my cousin Jin's house, what about you?"

"Me too, let's go together."

Yan Yu nodded, opened his mouth to say something and then closed it again.

"Are you the same age as Jin?"

"Yes, Jin is two months older, so he is the older brother."

Song Qingwan nodded. So that's how it was. As she walked, Song Qingwan felt many strange eyes were looking at her.

She looked up in some surprise and found that many young women on the roadside were looking over here from time to time. Some of them looked at her with a very resentful look.

Song Qingwan understood immediately that young General Yan Yu was the dream lover of many young ladies in the capital. Now that she was standing beside Yan Yu, she could not avoid being speculated about by these girls.

"General Yan, your secret admirer is going to kill me with his eyes."

Yan Yu raised his head and looked around. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Song Qingwan with some apology.

"They don't know your identity. This is a misunderstanding."

Song Qingwan naturally wouldn't care about these things. It was normal for girls to like Yan Yu, who was so outstanding and handsome.

At this time, in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse, a pretty girl pushed the window hard.

"Humph! This Song Qingwan, it's not enough for her to seduce Prince Huai, she even set her sights on General Yan. She is so shameless!"

The maid next to her hurried over to close the window, then turned around and advised.

"Miss, please be patient for now. Perhaps you have misunderstood."

"Humph, what's the misunderstanding? Everyone in the capital knows that Song Qingwan seduced the emperor's uncle and then seduced His Royal Highness Prince Huai! For a person like this, how could she be wronged!"

"Miss, let's go back first..."

"No, I have to go and remind General Yan not to let him be deceived by this woman!"

After saying that, the girl opened the door, quickly went down the stairs and ran outside.

The maid could only follow behind her master, for fear of falling accidentally.

"Brother Yan Yu!"

Song Qingwan looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of her, and glanced at Yan Yu with some teasing. Whose girl is this?

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"

"I...I'm just wandering around here, why is Brother Yan Yu with this woman?"

Yan Yu frowned slightly and looked at the angry Lan Xiaoxiao in front of him with some confusion. Was she talking about Song Qingwan?

"I was going to Prince Huai's Mansion and met Miss Song on the way. What can I do for you?"

Lan Xiaoxiao's expression calmed down a lot after hearing Yan Yu's words, and then she spoke in a provocative tone.

"Some people, even though they have a fiancé, still chat and laugh with others. How shameless!"

Song Qingwan was a little confused. Has she become someone else's love rival?

"May I ask if this girl is Yan Yu's fiancée?"

"No, I just..."

"If that's not the case, then what qualifications do you have to come here and curse people?"

"Humph, a shameless woman like you who seduces men everywhere, what's wrong with me scolding you? I..."

Song Qingwan couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Lan Xiaoxiao in the face.

"Bang!" Lan Xiaoxiao's face swelled up immediately.

"Be careful with your words next time. If you do it again, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face."

Lan Xiaoxiao was stunned. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had never suffered such an injustice.

"Brother Yan Yu!"

"Xiaoxiao, go home first, I have something else to do."

Yan Yu ignored Lan Xiaoxiao's aggrieved look and walked straight past her.

Song Qingwan shrugged and made a face at Lan Xiaoxiao.

"Wow...I'm going to tell my aunt, just wait!"
