On the way to Kunyi Palace, Liang Yulan glanced at Princess Lingchuan who was walking in front, quietly approached Anyang County Princess, lowered her voice and said, "Drink less wine later."

Princess Anyang looked at Liang Yulan in surprise. Was this a reminder?

It was she who had urged the Empress Dowager to go to Concubine Liang for lunch just now, and it was also she who reminded her to drink less.

What does she mean?

Liang Yulan smiled helplessly and explained in a low voice: "Inviting you to Kunyi Palace is a task given to me by the Imperial Concubine, and I have to complete it. Reminding you to drink a little is out of friendship."

Princess Anyang did not say anything, but her vigilance towards Liang Yulan increased to a higher level.

At this moment, Princess Lingchuan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them. "When did your relationship become so good? What are you whispering about? Can't I listen?"

Liang Yulan quickly responded with a smile: "I am speaking well of my cousin. My aunt has also been worried about this matter recently. I don't know how my cousin angered the county lady and made her feel cold towards him.

"Cousin, please say a few good words about your cousin! He is your own brother! Don't you want him to get what he wants and have a happy marriage?"

Princess Lingchuan looked at Liang Yulan coldly, "Why should I speak well of him? Oh, I can't even do what I want, why should I help him get what he wants?

"Oh, I know that you asked me to come with you to invite Xie Huan today just to ask me to help you lobby. I won't!"

Princess Lingchuan looked at Anyang County Lady and said, "Xie Huan, I tell you, it is a wise choice for you not to marry my third brother. The palace is not a good place. I am still a princess, and I am forced to marry someone I don't like. If you marry my third brother, you can imagine the ending."

"Cousin, what are you talking about? How can you say such things to the county lady? If my aunt finds out, you will be scolded again." Liang Yulan persuaded anxiously.

Lingchuan said impatiently: "Okay, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how can my mother know? Is it possible that Xie Huan will go to my mother to complain about me?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly forward.

Liang Yulan and Princess Anyang hurriedly followed.

"County Lady, please don't mind. The princess has been angry with the imperial concubine recently because of the matter of her future consort."

Liang Yulan explained in a low voice.

"Why? Doesn't the county lady like the future prince consort?" The county lady of Anyang asked curiously, "I heard that the future prince consort is well-educated and has a good family background. He and the princess are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Before Liang Yulan could answer, Princess Lingchuan said unhappily, "Good education, good family background? If you like it, do you want me to give it to you?"

Princess Anyang was choked up. She wanted to get angry and tell her not to vent her anger on her, but when she thought about it, Princess Lingchuan's advice to her not to marry the third prince was quite reasonable. In addition, she did not control her mouth and asked such a question in response to Liang Yulan's words. So she suppressed the anger that had just arisen in her heart.

"Cousin!" Liang Yulan wanted to cry but had no tears.

How can she dare to advise if she is not even allowed to mention it?

Isn't this making things difficult for her, aunt?

In such an awkward conversation atmosphere, the three of them arrived at Kunyi Palace where Concubine Liang lived.

The few of them greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

When lunch was served, the four of them sat around the table.

Concubine Liang winked at Liang Yulan, and Liang Yulan began to raise her glass to toast.

The first cup is dedicated to Concubine Liang, the second cup is dedicated to the princess, and the third cup is dedicated to the county lady.

After three cups, he began to dig up past events as excuses, one by one to toast the Princess Anyang.

Princess Anyang originally refused, but with Concubine Liang staring at her and Princess Lingchuan also watching, she had no choice but to drink.

In a blink of an eye, half a pot of wine was drunk. When Princess Anyang found herself dizzy, she realized that something was wrong.

Just as she was using the excuse of going to the bathroom, Liang Yulan also stood up shakily, "I want to go too. Aunt, let me go with the county lady."

Concubine Liang nodded and asked someone to follow the two of them.

After the two left, Princess Lingchuan looked at Concubine Liang with a half-smile, "What did mother want to do by asking my cousin to get Xie Huan drunk on purpose?"

Concubine Liang's face darkened. "What do you want to say?"

"Oh! I don't want to marry Zhou Changlin, but you try every means to force me to marry him! Xia Hongyang wants to marry Xie Huan, but Xie Huan doesn't want to, but you risk being punished by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and even resort to such despicable means as making it a fait accompli! Your discrimination is really obvious!"

Princess Lingchuan smiled bitterly and said, "Just because I am a daughter? So I deserve to be sacrificed? Just because my brother is a son, he can help you realize your ambitions?"

"That's enough! You've drunk too much." Concubine Liang scolded with an unhappy look on her face, and ordered the palace servants, "Come here, send Princess Lingchuan back to her bedroom."

Two palace maids came in quickly and asked Princess Lingchuan to leave.

At this moment, a palace servant ran in quickly, "Madam, Miss Liang has taken Princess Anyang out of the palace!"

"What did you say?" Concubine Liang stood up from her chair. "What's going on? Explain yourself clearly!"

The palace servant said in a panic, "Miss Liang was taking Princess Anyang to the palace when she suddenly dragged Princess Anyang out of the palace.

"My servant and Ah Zhu went up to stop us from leaving. Miss Liang pulled out the hairpin on her head and put it against her neck, saying that if we dared to stop her, she would commit suicide.

"I and Ah Zhu did not dare to use force, so we had to let Ah Zhu follow Miss Liang and the others, and I will come back to report to Her Majesty."

After hearing what the palace maid said, Concubine Liang was so angry that she almost laughed.

Is her niece crazy?

She was the one who gave her advice before, and she was also the one who changed her mind and ran away with Princess Anyang!

What does she want to do?

Before Concubine Liang could figure out what to do, Princess Lingchuan, who had not left yet, burst into laughter upon hearing what she said.

"Hahaha, my cousin actually has this kind of courage? I thought she was just a yes-man for Mother, doing whatever Mother tells her to do. I didn't expect that there would be a day when she would go against Mother! Hahaha, well done!"

After saying this, Princess Lingchuan left quickly without waiting for Concubine Liang to get angry.

"Empress Dowager, should we continue to pursue her?" the little palace maid asked cautiously.

"What are you still chasing after?" Concubine Liang said unhappily, "Let them go. Send someone to the scholar's residence to call Cui to the palace for me."

"Yes." The little palace maid took the order and left. She began to silently sympathize with Liang Yulan's mother Cui. This was clearly the case of the daughter making a mistake and the mother suffering!

At the same time, Liang Yulan, who should have been drunk, supported the drunken Anyang County Princess with clear eyes and staggered out of the palace.

The little palace maid named Azhu was still following closely behind him.
