Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

The Queen loves flowers, and every year she holds several flower-viewing banquets when she obtains some precious flowers, and this year is no exception.

What is different is that in this year’s election, many women attending the banquet were on the roster, especially those who wanted to win the prince’s favor, and they all dressed up with all their might, and each of them was more beautiful than the flowers.

The Queen, being of noble status, would not come right away. So it was necessary for the Crown Princess, her daughter-in-law, to come early to greet the female members of the family.

She was born in a middle class family, but now she is the Crown Princess, and the noble ladies all try to please her.

But Lu Xiangwan felt it was hypocritical when he heard the smiling faces of those girls from aristocratic families. They all said they respected him, but weren't they still planning to enter the Eastern Palace?

It’s good that there is a general election this year, but isn’t today’s flower-viewing banquet an excuse for the prince to choose a concubine?

At this time, the eunuch guarding outside the garden announced, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Everyone who was whispering in the room looked over, then stood up and greeted them all.

There were also some brave women who took a peek. When they saw a beautiful woman dressed in brocade following Xie An, they were surprised and couldn't help but envy him.

First, he envied her beauty, and second, he envied that she was favored by the Crown Prince and even left the Crown Princess to accompany her to the banquet.

It has only been half a year since Xie An returned to Beijing. Few people have seen him, and even fewer know Liu Fuyin.

"That sister is so beautiful." A noble lady at the table exclaimed softly.

"This is the first time I've seen His Royal Highness. That woman is so lucky to be taken care of by His Royal Highness. Is she a concubine in the East Palace?"

Xie An was a young man, holding the position of crown prince and being handsome and elegant, so naturally many women wanted to marry him. However, they had not heard that there were other concubines in the Eastern Palace besides the crown princess.

The woman who knew some of the inside story just shook her head calmly, "Oh, I heard that she is the only living girl in the Ning family. She should be the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She said she was a cousin, but many people saw how the prince cared about the woman and felt that she was not just a cousin. No matter what her current situation was, she would eventually enter the Eastern Palace.

The noble ladies who had originally admired the Crown Prince but were afraid that he and the Crown Princess were as deeply in love as the rumors said, and who could no longer look at others, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not only have room for the Crown Princess in his heart as rumored.

As for Liu Fuyin, whom they were talking about, she was just an orphan left over from the Ning family and was nothing to be afraid of.

As soon as she showed up, she attracted everyone's attention. Liu Fuyin timidly grabbed the corner of Xie An's clothes and said, "My cousin."

Xie An was a little amused, "Didn't you say you wanted to leave the palace? Why are you hiding behind the banquet today?"

Liu Fuyin's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head to stare at her toes. "I have never seen such a scene. I am afraid of embarrassing my cousin. If I had known, I would have stayed in the East Palace with Sister Xu."

"You are my cousin, who dares to say anything to you?" Hearing her mention Xu again, Xie An frowned subconsciously, but didn't say anything in the end. His cousin was young and didn't have many friends of the same age, otherwise how could she have been deceived by Xu and made friends with her.

So he brought the person in front of Lu Xiangwan, and then he pulled the person out openly and introduced him to the person with a smile, showing that he was supporting him.

Those who originally looked down on her status as an orphan took the initiative to talk to her when they saw that Xie An cared so much about her.

Liu Fuyin looked timid at first, until she saw Lu Xiangwan, she smiled and said, "Sister Lu."

There was intimacy in their every gesture, as if they had a very good relationship.

Lu Xiangwan would not spoil things in public and just acted like a gentle sister.

Seeing how harmoniously the two of them get along, those who had been speculating about her relationship with the prince were now confused. Could it be that the Crown Princess was really so magnanimous?

The flower-viewing banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Men and women sat at separate seats. The Queen was at the top, followed by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, who sat at the first seats on the left and right. Liu Fuyin sat obediently next to Lu Xiangwan.

At this time of year, apart from the best-blossoming lotus flowers, there are large areas of jasmine. The rarest one is the snow-white Yulouchun newly cultivated in the greenhouse. This flower is indeed rare, and Liu Fuyin was surprised to see it anyway.

There are also various kinds of orchids, mostly white, yellow, and green, as well as the white-heart orchid that is offered as a sacrifice in the south of the Yangtze River.

She didn't have such elegant taste, so she just liked the dim sum on the table, especially the lotus cakes, which looked delicate, fresh and not greasy.

She was an orphan, and once the Queen arrived and started talking, no one mentioned her on purpose, except the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess who took the initiative to say a few words to her.

The current emperor also gave face to the banquet hosted by the Queen. On the way, he sent someone to ask the kitchen to deliver a few more snacks that the Queen liked. The banquet was a very enjoyable one.

If the Zhuang girl hadn't sat next to the Queen halfway through the banquet, the Queen would have taken the initiative to introduce her to the Crown Prince, "Look at this girl, she kept saying in private that she admires the Crown Prince in front of me, but now that she sees you, she doesn't dare to say anything. After all, you two are cousins."

Xie An is now registered under the name of the Queen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are cousins. However, it is a foregone conclusion that the daughter of Zhuang will enter the Eastern Palace, it is only a matter of time. However, after repeated matchmaking, Xie An can't help but be dissatisfied with the Zhuang family.

Moreover, he became the crown prince largely on his own, and he and the queen were just a cooperative relationship where both sides got what they needed, so he would not allow her to provoke him. "

"Mother, have you forgotten that my cousin is the only relative I have left?"

The Queen's smile froze, and her tone turned cold, "It was I who said this and caused the Prince to be sad."

Xie An didn't buy her tricks and continued, "My mother is also concerned about me, so I won't think too much."

"Alright, alright. I will not be in charge of this matter with you young people." The queen knew that she could not control him for the moment, and she would not lose face at this time. She shook her head helplessly and said nothing more.

The second half of the flower-viewing banquet was arranged by Lu Xiangwan. The Zhuang girl also took the initiative to talk to Xie An, but when there was no response, she glared at Liu Fuyin angrily.

Liu Fuyin just felt confused.

At this moment, they were just walking around and admiring the flowers. Lu Xiangwan held Liu Fuyin's hand affectionately and said, "Cousin, have you seen the man in the green robe? He is the second son of the doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. Although he is not from a high family, he is a decent person. He entered the Hanlin Academy in his early twenties. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. You have a soft personality, and he is also gentle. Cousin, you can get to know him."

Lu Xiangwan said this without avoiding anyone. Liu Fuyin was a little at a loss for a moment and could only look at Xie An for help.

Xie An was talking to a few young masters from aristocratic families and didn't pay any attention to this side.

Lu Xiangwan patted her back in comfort, "If you are shy, why don't I ask someone to call him over?"

"Sister Lu!" Liu Fuyin took a step back as if embarrassed and waved her hands in panic, "This is not appropriate, you don't have to worry about it. I don't want to..."

"I know you are the most shy. I wouldn't have teased you if I had known this. Go by yourself and chat with the ladies. It's okay to go secretly. You are the cousin of His Highness and also my cousin. I will arrange your marriage myself and will definitely choose a good family for you." She said with a smile, interrupted her without giving her any room to argue, and kept asking her to interact with people.

She spoke as if she hated getting married.

Especially since Lu Xiangwan seemed to have sent someone to give her instructions, the man even came forward to greet her.

As Lu Xiangwan said, he was born with good looks and had passed the imperial examination to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. He would have had a bright future if he had not had a illegitimate child before getting married.

Liu Fuyin used the same trick again, tears came flowing, "I don't know when I made sister angry, sister, just tell me directly, why do you have to push me out like this?"
