After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

These words made Concubine Liang feel a little embarrassed.

Just as Concubine Liang said that Yuanshi was taking care of Liang Yusong, the next moment Yuanshi said that she didn't have much contact with Liang Yusong. I don't know if Yuanshi was tongue-tied or did it on purpose.

If it were someone with a bad temper, such as Concubine Zhao, she would definitely be furious.

Fortunately, Concubine Liang was very generous and still had a smile on her face.

"You are so modest. You are such a good kid. No wonder I liked you the moment I met you."

"Besides, the Crown Prince and Prince Lu are as close as brothers. In my opinion, you are the same as the Crown Princess and the Second Prince's wife."

"The jade bracelet is a token of my appreciation, and it's also a meeting gift from me. If you don't accept it, it would be too awkward."

She was reasonable, amiable, and had no intention of blaming Yuan Wanru. Concubine Liang could be described as magnanimous.

After hearing what Princess Qin said just now, everyone knew that this bracelet was unusual. The fact that Princess Liang was willing to give it to Yuan Wanru was enough to show how much she valued her.

The Crown Princess advised, "Madam, Madam Liang has always been kind. Please accept it, otherwise Madam Liang will be sad."

Murong Ling hoped Yuan Wanru would offend Concubine Liang. She feigned innocence and said, "This chicken-fat yellow jade bracelet is rare in the world. If Your Majesty is willing to give it to me, I will be so happy that I won't be able to sleep and will wear it every day."

"I'm not as ungrateful as some people."

There is a lot of yellow jade, but it is extremely rare to make bracelets from it.

Scarcity makes things valuable. This chicken-fat yellow jade bracelet is a symbol of power and status, and is definitely not a rare item that can be bought with money.

Princess Qin glared at her and said, "Stop talking too much. The Crown Prince's wife was just being modest. She never said she wouldn't accept it."

Mrs. Wang's smile froze slightly. Murong Ling really was not giving up, otherwise why would she target Master Lu's wife?

Unfaithful to one's husband.

Concubine Liang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, Madam, do you really not like it?"

The voice carried obvious pressure, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.

Yuan Wanru had a keen sense of smell. Even though she was separated from the palace maid by a person, she could still smell the faint fragrance on the jade bracelet.

This fragrance...

Not right.

"I am a humble woman with limited knowledge and humble origins. I am trembling with fear. The jade bracelet is so precious and has such special meaning. I am deeply terrified and dare not obey your command. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and give me something else."

Concubine Liang's smile disappeared. "Madam Crown Prince, do you not dare to accept it, or do you not want to accept it?"

As a high-ranking concubine in charge of palace affairs, it is really unpleasant to be offended like this.

The Crown Princess and Concubine Liang often come into contact with each other. Could it be that she saw Concubine Liang getting angry and had some complaints about Yuan Wanru?

"I dare not decline this gift from my elders. It would be impolite for the Crown Prince's wife to refuse it."

The Princess of Qin also advised her: "Yes, this is the good intention of your Majesty. If the Crown Prince's wife is too modest, it will spoil the fun."

Haha, this is forcing Yuan Wanru to accept the jade bracelet.

It seems that Concubine Liang had already taken the antidote, so she dared to wear it on her body.

Yuan Wanru had already guessed that the medicine applied on the bracelet was "soft as smoke".

Soft as Smoke is made from eighteen kinds of medicine. It has a light aroma and can make the mind excited while making the body soft as mud. It is somewhat similar to the effect of Softening Muscle Powder and opium combined.

When she was young, she had tried the medicine once and the effect was extraordinary.

No wonder the prescription was locked in the safe at home. No one could open the safe without grandpa's permission.

If the formula of "Soft as Smoke" were to be spread out, it would cause endless harm.

Moreover, its antidote is very difficult to prepare, and Yuan Wanru does not have it.

In short, once you are poisoned, things become difficult.

Sun Haining was a little confused as to why Wanru refused to accept the jade bracelet, but he thought his friend must have her reasons.

"Your Majesty is partial. Why does Wanru have a jade bracelet but we don't?"

She stood up and walked towards the palace maid, "I really like this bracelet. Since the Crown Prince's wife has no taste, why don't you give it to me, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Liang was close to the crown prince, and Sun Haining also had contacts with Concubine Liang.

Sun Haining felt that Concubine Liang was angry only because she had been rejected repeatedly and lost face.

She was a little thick-skinned and gave each other a way out so that neither Concubine Liang nor Wanru would be embarrassed.

Lu Yun had been extremely anxious for a long time, but she didn't know what to do. Now, seeing Sun Haining helping Yuan Wanru out of trouble, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Sun Haining's words angered Concubine Liang. She slammed the table and said, "How dare you!"

"My reward, is it just some street groceries for you to pick and choose?"

"Haining, you have nothing to do here, leave."

She sneered at Yuan Wanru and said, "I never take back what I say. Amber, help the Crown Prince's wife put it on."

Concubine Liang just didn't believe that Yuan Wanru could still refuse at this point.

Yuan Wanru really didn't expect that Concubine Liang would use this trick.

Using power to suppress others is indeed the most effective method.

Sun Haining was stunned for a moment and had to sit back in his seat.

The maid named Amber said respectfully, "Madam, please extend your hand."

Yuan Wanru lowered her eyes. Since that was the case, she could only act rashly and break the bracelet.

Anyway, she would never wear it obediently.

Just as she was about to extend her hand, she heard Princess An Ning burst into laughter: "Alright, it's no big deal, it's not worth getting so angry, Concubine Liang."

"Show me the bracelet."

Princess Liang didn't expect that when she was about to succeed, An Ning insisted on interfering.

What does this have to do with her?

Amber hesitated for a moment and looked at Concubine Liang. Princess An Ning immediately frowned and said, "Why, I can't even call a mere maid?"

"Princess Liang, are you giving me no face?"

Concubine Liang was unnoticeable. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face warm and gentle: "An Ning is joking. Amber, why don't you quickly present the bracelet?"

Princess An Ning is used to doing whatever she wants, and she often acts based on her mood.

Concubine Liang holds a high position and great power, but Princess An Ning does not need to look at her face.

She took the bracelet and looked at it for a while. "Well, it's a good thing. Yuan Shi really doesn't know what's good."

"Mother is so partial. Why didn't you remember to give me such a good thing?"

"Since Concubine Liang doesn't want it anymore, then I'll accept it. Here, Madam Crown Prince, I'll give you a gift. Don't worry, it will definitely not be worse than this topaz bracelet."

Concubine Liang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Isn't it a waste of effort to apply this soft smoke on it?

Troublemaker!

"An Ning, this isn't a good idea, I..."

Princess An Ning snorted, "Why, you're willing to give it to her but not to me, Concubine Liang, who are you looking down on?"

After so many years, Concubine Liang has never felt so aggrieved.

She thought that because of Murong Ling, An Ning would definitely hate Yuanshi.

Unexpectedly, on the contrary, she would actually side with Yuanshi!

"Whether you give it to me or not, I'll take what I like."

As she spoke, she handed the jade bracelet to the palace maid beside her, "Keep it. Later, give the Khotan white jade Ruyi Fertility-Giving Guanyin statue that my mother gave me to the Crown Prince's wife."

Princess Qin lost her composure a little: "You are willing to do it!"

The statue mentioned by Princess An Ning was finely carved from tribute jade from Khotan.

The jade material was huge, with a fine texture and a luster as smooth as fat. The Queen Mother specially ordered skilled craftsmen to carve a Lotus Guanyin and gave it to Princess An Ning. The next year, the princess became pregnant.

Compared with Princess An Ning’s gift, the topaz bracelet is not impressive enough.
