After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Qi Yan suppressed her anger and bowed to Concubine Li, "Please calm down, Mother Li."

Concubine Li curled her lips and said, "I am angry, why should I calm down?"

Concubine Rou covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She shouldn't have allowed these two people to stay for dinner.

You are obviously angry, why don't you admit it?

Qi Yan could no longer hold back the smile on her face. She turned around and burst into tears. "Yan'er apologized sincerely, why is Concubine Li so aggressive?"

Concubine Li was confused. What was going on? Why was she crying? And so aggressive? Was this talking about her?

She looked at Concubine Rou with a questioning look in her eyes. Was it me who was being aggressive as she said just now?

Concubine Rou closed her eyes. She really had no interest in watching Qi Yan act. "Princess, if you have nothing else to do, please go back."

Concubine Li interrupted and couldn't help scolding, "The princess is a princess of a country after all, representing the face of the Qi royal family. It's not proper for you to cry."

She just looked down on people who liked to cry. Her master was so young and she didn’t cry when she married far away in Xuan State, so why was she crying?

Princess Chunshan had no father to love her and no mother to care for her. She never cried even when she was beaten every day.

Although Concubine Li could see that Qi Yan was just acting, trying to gain sympathy with tears was a trick of the weak.

Qi Yan has been doted on by Concubine Ning since she was a child. Who would dare to preach to her like this?

"What's more," Concubine Li scratched her head, "My sister and I are only a few years older than the princess. We can't bear to be called Mother Concubine," Concubine Li shook her head.

Things have come to this point, no matter how thick-skinned Qi Yan is, she can't stay.

She snorted coldly, shook her sleeves and walked away.

Concubine Li was just being gratifying for a moment, she had made Qi Yan happy, but now that she has calmed down she remembered what Queen Xuan had told her.

She looked at Concubine Rou, pitifully, "I pissed her off, what should I do?"

Concubine Rou rolled her eyes, but she still patiently comforted him, "She won't give up. Wait, she will come again tomorrow."

"Really?" asked Concubine Li.

Concubine Rou nodded. Qi Yan would not give up so easily. She was used to being arrogant, and the other concubines of lower rank had been bullied by Concubine Ning for a long time.

Concubine Rou didn't believe that she hadn't looked for the Queen and Concubine Xian. Qi Yan was the only princess in the palace who had reached the age to build a residence and had not married.

According to the rules of Qi State, she could only be brought into the birthday banquet by others, and no one was willing to bring her in except the two of them.

Sure enough, Qi Yan came to visit the next day. At that time, Concubine Rou and Concubine Li were planning to go to Baohua Palace.

Before Concubine Li could say anything, Qi Yan spoke first and blocked Concubine Li's mouth, "I made an appointment with the two mothers yesterday. It's a coincidence that Yan'er came today. The two mothers just happened to be going out."

Concubine Rou stopped Concubine Li who wanted to speak, "It's quite a coincidence. Now that you are here, let's go."

Concubine Li couldn't help but pick up the conversation, saying sarcastically, "Princess, are you going to visit someone? Why don't you even bring anything with you?"

Qi Yan's face flushed. When she visited other concubines before, it was Concubine Ning who took her there, so Concubine Ning would naturally prepare her share.

Now that Concubine Ning is dead, there is no one to prepare anything for her.

Concubine Rou gave Concubine Le Li a reproachful look, then smiled and said to Qi Yan, "In that case, stay in Jingyang Palace for a while."

"Zuixiang, prepare another portion for the princess."

Qi Yan thanked him repeatedly, feeling somewhat proud. It seemed that her provocation last night was indeed effective, as Concubine Rou started to speak for her again.

When Concubine Li saw her smug look, she couldn't help but find it a little funny.

She was so stupid. If her master hadn't specifically instructed her, she would have made her suffer the consequences.

Everyone quickly arrived at Baohua Palace.

Nanny Lan blocked the palace gate and refused to let anyone in. Qi Yan smelled a familiar scent and subconsciously covered her nose.

Unexpectedly, this action angered Nanny Lan, who was used to showing off. There was no Aunt Qing to stop her, so she slapped Qi Yan in the face.

Qi Yan couldn't believe it. An old woman actually dared to hit her?

"What's with that look in your eyes, Princess? I hit you because you were disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine." Nanny Lan spat.

"The princess is a junior, so she has to show respect to the imperial concubine."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nanny Lan was trying to make things difficult for Qi Yan, but no one said anything. After all, Nanny Lan was Concubine Yin's wet nurse, so her words still had an effect.

Under normal circumstances, Concubine Li would have to talk to Nanny Lan about it.

But now, it was Qi Yan who was bullied, and she wanted to see how Qi Yan would respond.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Qi Yan could only bow to Nanny Lan and apologize obediently.

Nanny Lan sneered and ignored Qi Yan. Instead, she looked at Concubine Rou and Concubine Li with an arrogant tone, "My two majesties, if you have anything to say, this old servant can convey it to you."

Concubine Rou nodded, signaled Zuixiang to hand the bundle to Nanny Lan, and finally carefully placed a box in Nanny Mei's hands.

Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Mammy, the bundle contains some medicinal herbs for nourishing the body. As for the box, perhaps it can help the Imperial Concubine."

Nanny Lan asked in confusion, "What is that?" She opened the box and her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside.

"Is this the one sold in Jingzhou? The one used by Concubine Ning before?"

Concubine Rou nodded and said, "Please tell the Imperial Concubine that I had to ask my relatives from my natal family to buy this with great difficulty."

Nanny Lan nodded, looking excited. "Empress Rou is so thoughtful. I will tell you. When you recover, I will thank you."

Concubine Rou bowed and said, "You're welcome, Madam. I'll go back first." After saying that, she left with Concubine Li without caring about Qi Yan's reaction.

When Qi Yan saw that Concubine Rou and Concubine Li had both left, she lowered her head, feeling indignant. However, she was alone now and could not do anything to Nanny Lan, so she could only cover her face and quickly follow them.

The entire way, Concubine Li was trying to hold back her laughter. If she hadn't been concerned about Qi Yan who was following behind her and wanted to avoid ruining her plan, she would have laughed out loud.

When they returned to Jingyang Palace, Concubine Rou saw Qi Yan still covering her face, sighed, and ordered Zui Xiang to bring an egg to apply to Qi Yan.

She sighed, "Princess, don't blame us for not speaking for you. It's just that the two nobles who are favored now are from the Yin family's side branches. If we intervene today, it won't be so easy."

Seeing that Qi Yan didn't seem to listen, Concubine Rou added, "The princess may not understand Concubine Yin. If she is angered, she will do anything. The two of us don't have prominent mothers' families, so it's impossible for us to defeat Concubine Yin."

Qi Yan nodded after hearing this, "Yan'er understands."

Concubine Rou spoke earnestly, as if she were an elder who really cared about her younger generation. "Princess, you should stay away from Baohua Palace in the future. Find a husband of your dreams and leave as soon as possible."

Qi Yan nodded. She naturally knew that Concubine Rou was right, otherwise she would not be so anxious to attend the birthday banquet.
