The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Lan Yunyan and Yun Mengyao found a quiet corner in a teahouse in the street market, sat down, and began to reminisce about the past.

They talked about interesting things in their childhood. Those carefree days seemed like yesterday, making people miss them.

Lan Yunyan mentioned the past when they played hide-and-seek and stole candy together, and Yun Mengyao responded with a smile, talking about the time when they learned embroidery and practiced piano together.

As the topic deepened, both of them fell into beautiful memories.

They were chatting and laughing, and their cheerful laughter from time to time attracted envious glances from people around them.

Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon. The lights in the teahouse became soft and warm, adding a touch of romance to the two people's reminiscing.

Lan Yunyan and Yun Mengyao smiled at each other. They both knew that this precious friendship would always be with them, and no matter where they went in the future, they would never forget each other.

Finally, the two reluctantly said goodbye. Lan Yunyan watched Yun Mengyao's departing back, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that this encounter with Yun Mengyao was the most beautiful gift she had received in this strange world.

"Blue! Cloud! Smoke!!"

An angry roar suddenly rang out in the street, breaking the surrounding noise.

Lan Yunyan frowned slightly and turned her head to look, only to see a woman in gorgeous clothes walking towards her angrily. Wasn't that Xu Qing?

Lan Yunyan secretly wondered why Xu Qing was here and so angry. She scratched her ears and said casually, "Please, Miss Xu, keep your voice down. If you don't know, you might think it's a mad dog barking."

When Xu Qing heard this, she became furious.

She glared at Lan Yunyan with gnashing teeth, as if she wanted to eat her alive. "Lan Yunyan, who are you calling a mad dog?" she roared, her voice filled with uncontrollable rage.

Lan Yunyan's lips curled up into a playful smile, and she said lightly, "Of course, whoever agrees with me will be the one to say it. Miss Xu, do you think this adjective suits you?"

Xu Qing's rage intensified upon hearing this. She clenched her fists, as if unable to suppress her inner rage. Her eyes widened as she glared at Lan Yunyan, as if she wanted to pierce her.

"Lan Yunyan, don't go too far! Who do you think you are? How dare you humiliate me like this!" Xu Qing roared, with strong hatred in her voice.

Lan Yunyan looked at Xu Qing's furious expression, but her heart remained calm. She knew Xu Qing had always disliked her and was always looking for opportunities to pick on her. However, she wasn't afraid of her.

"Ms. Xu, I don't mean to humiliate you. It's just that you yelling so loudly can easily lead to misunderstandings. Besides, the grudge between us doesn't seem to require such a big fight, right?" Lan Yunyan said lightly, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

After hearing what Lan Yunyan said, Xu Qing was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Lan Yunyan, you caused Brother Qingfeng to leave me. Do you think that's the end of it? Now Brother Qingfeng won't see me, isn't it all because of you! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have married Brother Qingfeng by now!"

Xu Qing roared at the top of her lungs, her eyes red as she looked at Lan Yunyan with resentment.

Lan Yunyan frowned upon hearing this, feeling an inexplicable irritation well up in her heart. She knew that the "Brother Qingfeng" Xu Qing had been referring to was Shen Qingfeng. Now, Xu Qing was blaming her for all this, which made her furious.

"Xu Qing, can you please be reasonable? He chose to leave you. That's his own decision. What does it have to do with me?" Lan Yunyan said coldly. She didn't want to get entangled with Xu Qing on this issue.

However, Xu Qing seemed to have not heard her words and continued to yell hysterically: "It's all you! It's all your fault! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Lan Yunyan faced Xu Qing's accusations with a calm expression, but a hint of impatience appeared in her eyes.

She responded coldly: "Xu Qing, that's enough. He chose to leave you. That's his own decision. It has nothing to do with me. If you really like him, you should respect his choice instead of making trouble here."

After hearing this, Xu Qing became even angrier and almost pounced on Lan Yunyan and tore her apart.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Brother Qingfeng was originally going to marry me, but it was because of you that he left me!"

At that moment, a burst of laughter emanated from the second floor of the teahouse. Lan Yunyan and Xu Qing looked up at the same time, only to see Shen Qingfeng and a young man from an aristocratic family standing by the railing, looking at them indifferently.

Shen Qingfeng's face was still handsome, but his eyes were more cold and distant. He watched the farce downstairs quietly without saying a word.

The young master of the aristocratic family laughed openly, "Hahaha, Brother Shen, it's a good thing you didn't marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family. If you had, it would have caused chaos. Look at her now. She doesn't look like a lady at all, she's a complete shrew!"

Xu Qing's face turned pale when she heard this. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out. She couldn't believe that her beloved brother Qingfeng would actually watch her being humiliated on the second floor.

Lan Yunyan also saw Shen Qingfeng. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, "What a coincidence! I actually met him here."

Shen Qingfeng's appearance was indeed beyond her expectations.

She wanted to go up and say hello, but then she thought it was unnecessary. After all, they weren't that familiar with each other yet. So, she just nodded slightly as a greeting to Shen Qingfeng.

On the second floor, Shen Qingfeng smiled at Lan Yunyan. That smile was so warm that it seemed to penetrate the barriers of time, causing Lan Yunyan to feel an inexplicable emotion. She smiled back politely, then quickly collected her thoughts.

However, Lan Yunyan didn't know that on the third floor of the teahouse, a pair of eyes were staring at her closely, and those eyes were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.
