When Concubine Su heard the news in the palace, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand and said with gritted teeth: "This Lu Tingyan was actually named the county lady. I am really angry!"

The palace maid beside her was so frightened that she knelt on the ground immediately, not daring to say a word.

Concubine Su said bitterly: "She is just a country girl, how could she get such an honor? I will never let her off easily!"

Bilian knelt down quickly and said, "My queen, please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by being angry."

Concubine Su's eyes widened with anger: "Lu Tingyan, how did you get such a reward? You must have used some seductive tricks to confuse the emperor and the prince!"

Bilian said cautiously: "My queen, now that Lu Tingyan has been rewarded, we have to make long-term plans."

Concubine Su gnashed her teeth and said, "I won't let her have an easy life. She is the one who ruined my life."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yao stayed alone in her boudoir, the hatred in her heart burning like a raging fire. Her originally beautiful eyes were now full of bloodshot and turned red, as if they could spit out fire.

I saw that she clenched her hands into fists tightly. Because she used too much force, her nails were deeply embedded in the palms of her hands, and even a trace of blood oozed out, but she didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

"Lu Tingyan, I can never coexist with you!" Su Yao gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words. Before she finished her words, she suddenly stood up and started smashing things in the room frantically.

Vases, porcelain, books...anything she could get her hands on was thrown around mercilessly, and the whole room became a mess in an instant.

Just then, Yu'er, the maid who had been guarding outside the door, heard the noise and rushed in.

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of her, Yu'er was frightened and pale, and hurriedly advised: "Miss, don't act impulsively!"

However, Su Yao had completely lost her mind at this time. She turned her head and glared at Yu'er, shouting, "You dead girl, you dare to talk too much about my affairs? Get out!"

Yu'er fell to her knees with a thud, and kept begging for mercy: "Miss, please calm down, please spare my life! The Prime Minister has told me to keep an eye on you. If anything goes wrong with you, I will not be able to take the responsibility!"

On the other side, in the magnificent general's mansion, Lin Yue was sitting in an exquisite and gorgeous boudoir.

When she heard the exciting news, her brows instantly lit up and her heart was filled with irrepressible joy.

Lin Yue opened her red lips and smiled softly, "Yan'er is so lucky!"

Mei Fang, the personal maid standing beside her, couldn't help but agree, "Yes, miss. I never thought that Miss Lu would be personally canonized as a county princess by the emperor only a few days after arriving in the capital." Her words were filled with envy.

Lin Yue shook her head slightly, and explained to Mei Fang with a smile: "Fang'er, you don't know the reason behind this."

Mei Fang came forward with a curious look on her face and asked respectfully, "I hope Miss can help me solve some of my doubts."

Lin Yue took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then said slowly: "Sister Yan'er is kind-hearted and innocent. Anyone who sees her will love her, not to mention that she saved the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With such a great contribution, the Emperor will naturally reward her generously." After that, Lin Yue chuckled again, as if she was sincerely happy for her friend.

On the other side, inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion, sunlight shone through the mottled leaves into the courtyard.

At this time, a little maid in emerald green clothes hurriedly crossed the corridor and ran into the yard where Xiao Leyou lived as fast as the wind.

Before she could even stand firmly on her feet, the maid named Qiaoqiao couldn't wait to shout, "Miss! Miss! There is great news! Your new good sister Lu Tingyan has been named Princess Anle by the emperor!"

Xiao Leyou, who was flipping through a book in the house, was startled when he heard this. Then he put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked quickly to the door. He was surprised and asked anxiously, "Qiaoqiao, are you serious? Don't joke with me about this."

Qiaoqiao panted and nodded quickly, "Miss, it's absolutely true! The news has spread all over the streets of Beijing!"

A brilliant smile suddenly broke out on Xiao Leyou's face. He clapped his hands unconsciously and said with joy, "That's great! Yan'er is so kind, intelligent, gentle and lovely. She deserves the position of Princess Anle!" As he spoke, his eyes revealed deep blessings and joy for his good friend.

Concubine Li took a wait-and-see attitude in the palace. She was thoughtful and thought that there might be deeper court struggles behind Lu Tingyan's reward.

"I wonder what kind of waves this sudden title bestowed upon Lu Tingyan will cause." Concubine Li whispered to herself.
