With the external enemy eliminated, the brief alliance between Wang Ruofu and Nian Shilan automatically dissolved, and Nian Shilan inevitably returned to his old ways.

Besides, this was her first time to go to the emperor's bedchamber and then pay respects to the emperor in the main courtyard. It was inevitable that she wanted to show off in front of the princesses in the mansion who had gone to the emperor's bedchamber before her.

She had to show off her power, otherwise no one would take her, Nian Shilan, seriously in the future.

As soon as they stepped into the main courtyard, Nian Shilan pretentiously put one hand on Songzhi and raised the other hand to touch the jade earrings.

The sunlight just happened to shine in and hit the jade earrings, and the jade with extremely fine water content faintly revealed a soft halo.

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes and looked at the side. She walked gracefully, with a charming smile on her face: "My sisters, you are here so early. My wife is not too late...right?"

As Nian Shilan was speaking, his eyes swept over everyone and he noticed that there was someone sitting in the center position above. It was the legitimate wife Wang Ruofu.

From the moment she entered the door, Wang Ruofu looked at her with a pair of smiling almond-shaped eyes, as if she had expected that she would cause trouble today and was waiting to see her show.

Nian Shilan couldn't help but look embarrassed, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she could no longer smile.

Everyone except Wang Ruofu stood up from their seats and saluted Nian Shilan: "Greetings to Concubine Nian."

Nian Shilan waved her hands uninterestedly: "Everyone, get up."

In her heart, she couldn't help but complain about why the lady had come out so early today, causing her to fail before she could accomplish her mission. But she could only restrain herself and kneel down respectfully to pay her respects.

"Concubine Nian, pays respects to the wife."

I didn't dare to stand up by myself like I did when I first got married.

Before, when Wang Ruofu used the so-called "house rules" and spanking to pressure her, she did not back down. But after making a scene in the Eighth Prince's house, Nian Shilan had to give in.

He even dared to hit the princes, not only did he hit three at once, but he was able to escape unscathed from the throne room. Doesn't this show that His Majesty is obviously biased?

Wang Ruofu did not embarrass her, and did not even mention her previous actions, "Get up."

After that, he never spoke again, and his eyes did not linger for even a second on Nian Shilan, who looked particularly radiant and beautiful today.

She was neither unhappy nor afraid, as if Nian Shilan was no different from other princesses whose family backgrounds and looks were not that prominent, such as Cao Qinmo and Feng Ruozhao.

This made Nian Shilan feel particularly uncomfortable, especially after seeing Wang Ruofu's appearance clearly.

Wang Ruofu wore light makeup and had her hair combed meticulously. Her pearl hairpins and hair accessories were dignified and luxurious. Her hands were wrapped with several thumb-sized South China pearls, which set off her slender wrists and fair and delicate skin.

Although Shilan is many years older than her, and has given birth to three children, she doesn't look old at all. She has no wrinkles, her skin is tight, and her eyes are even clearer than those of a real 28-year-old girl.

The more Nian Shilan looked at it, the more sad she felt.

"Concubine Nian came so late today." Li Jingyan suddenly spoke, speaking to Nian Shilan, but his eyes looked at Wang Ruofu from time to time.

It was obvious that she was trying to cause trouble, but she really overestimated her own intelligence. She was just so naive and playful.

Even though Wang Ruofu and Nian Shilan were not people of great wisdom and scheming, they would not fail to see such an obvious provocation.

Nian Shilan glanced at Wang Ruofu, who was sitting at the top of the table, and seeing that she had no reaction, she immediately retorted, "This concubine was helping Prince Beile get dressed and have breakfast, so naturally she came a little late."

"But my wife didn't delay in paying respects to you, and you didn't say anything, but Li Shufu just jumped out and made irresponsible remarks. Could it be that she wants to take over my business?"

"I, you are talking nonsense." Li Jingyan was panicked by what Nian Shilan said, and was afraid that Wang Ruofu would really misunderstand, so she quickly stood up and bowed to explain, "Fujin, you must believe me. Over the years, I have never had any second thoughts."

She just wanted to help Fu Jin suppress Nian Shilan so that Fu Jin could see her usefulness and truly promote her to be one of her own. However, she was easily killed by Nian Shilan with just a few words.

"All right."

Wang Ruofu was happy to watch the show. The more discord there was between the concubines, the more secure her position as the mistress would be.

Just like Lin Qinshuang in her previous life, her appearance was obviously not as good as Wei Xiaoniang, but her coquettish aura controlled her ex-husband so much that she could not hold her head up for most of her life.

This kind of thing must never happen in her backyard again.

Therefore, Wang Ruofu did not give the useless Li Jingyan a cold look, and said in a more soothing tone: "You are also an old man in the mansion who has given birth to two children. You should not be so tactless in your words in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely keep Madam Madam's teachings in mind." Li Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled happily and flattered Wang Ruofu in various ways.

"I heard from Hongshi yesterday that Prince Honghui has become even more amazing. Not only can he answer questions fluently with his teacher in his studies, but he can even fight with Prince Fourteen in martial arts."

"As the saying goes, like fathers, like mothers, like sons. Fu Jin has taken such good care of herself that she is blessed by God. Her children are even more outstanding than others."

Wang Ruofu said modestly, "No, no, they just strive to be good."

Although Li Jingyan could only say things that couldn't be more straightforward, Wang Ruofu just loved to hear them.

To use Wang Ruofu's words, those flowery compliments were just showing off one's own literary talent, which could not compare to the sincerity of Li Jingyan's honest words.

Li Jingyan never stops blowing Wang Ruofu's compliments as long as she doesn't stop. But she can only say a few words like "Your son has the emperor's favor" and "Your daughter is unparalleled in beauty".

It's like a repeater.

Nian Shilan felt more aggrieved after hearing this. What's so great about having a child? It's as if everyone can have one. She thinks her future child will definitely be smarter and more beautiful.

Wang Ruofu was overjoyed when she heard this, and she said, "Let's go today. Lady Li Shu and Princess Feng will stay."

"Yes."

As for what to do when they stay, they play mahjong. As children grow up, they don't want to be controlled by their mothers anymore, so mothers naturally have to find ways to pass the time.

"Princess Feng?" Nian Shilan asked in surprise, her eyes widened and she glanced at Feng Ruozhao.

When did this little bitch get into the main courtyard?

Feng Ruozhao lowered his head and said nothing, pretending honestly not to understand what Nian Shilan meant.

It was Li Jingyan who said without thinking: "Yes, the concubine must play together. Don't say it, this thing is fun and exciting."

Nian Shilan's mouth drooped: "..."

My mother tongue is speechless.

"No, I have other things to do in my room." Nian Shilan refused, with some disdain in her tone.

Instead of wasting time on fun, it is better to spend more time and effort on the prince. Although concubines can only sleep with you for a total of five days a month now, this may not be the case in the future.

Nian Shilan just didn't believe that Fu Jin's son was so old, and he couldn't still control the Fourth Prince for his entire life.

The Fourth Prince also wanted to know this question, and he had been thinking about it for more than ten years, and he still wanted to know it now. It was quite urgent.
