Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

“My father and mother specifically instructed me to go to the palace and keep a close eye on my sister, and to give her guidance from time to time. After all, the palace is not like our home. If I make a mistake, it will harm our whole family.”

"In a little while, little sister will stay by your side and do the bowing and greetings. Just watch and follow my lead. You must also pay attention to your manners and demeanor at all times, as improper manners are a serious offense."

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips and glanced at Ye Weilan sideways: "Anything else?"

"Also, in the palace, the less you say, the less you make mistakes. Sister, please remember to speak less so as not to say the wrong thing."

Ye Qing'an smiled: "Then, thank you for your guidance, sister."

"Why are you being so polite, sister? We're sisters, this is only natural."

After passing through most of the inner palace, we arrived at Yihe Palace, where Consort Lan lived.

Unlike the magnificent palaces we had just passed, Yihe Palace could be described as elegant, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and towers. There were no opulent peonies, only plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums.

It wasn't that there were palace servants and eunuchs everywhere; there were only two eunuchs guarding the main hall entrance.

After the announcement was made, the palace servants led the three people into the hall.

Consort Lan was sitting in a chair reading a book. When she saw them come in, she first waved to Eleventh: "Eleventh, come here quickly. I have prepared your favorite snacks. I have prepared several kinds. Try them one by one and see which one you like."

After speaking, she smiled at Ye Qing'an again, but when her gaze fell on Ye Weilan, the smile on her face faded considerably.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Ye Weilan was about to bow and pay her respects when she saw this scene and was very surprised.

I?

Consort Lan actually referred to herself as "I" in front of that little bastard? And she didn't even ask Ye Qing'an to pay his respects before directly offering him a seat?

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, but her smile remained impeccable as she sat down with graceful poise: "I've been to the palace quite a few times before, but this is the first time I've met the Imperial Concubine. She is indeed as beautiful and gentle as the rumors say."

"Is that so?" Consort Lan glanced at Ye Weilan casually. "When you first entered the palace, I saw you infrequently, probably because I was under house arrest for quite some time. As for the concubines in the Cold Palace, Miss Ye, you naturally wouldn't see them..."

Ye Weilan's smile froze. She had only offered a few casual compliments, praising a woman's gentleness and beauty. Wasn't that something everyone appreciated? Why was Consort Lan's tone so peculiar, suddenly bringing up the matter of her being confined in the Cold Palace?

Ye Weilan almost gritted her teeth to pieces. Ye Qing'an must be secretly laughing to herself when she saw her make a fool of herself and be humiliated by Consort Lan.

No, she couldn't let that bitch get away with it.

Fortunately, she had been taught strict etiquette and rules of aristocratic families since childhood, so her adaptability, while not top-notch, was by no means weak: "What are you saying, Your Highness? Your Highness is of noble status and has an otherworldly temperament. You rarely appear in public. How could I possibly meet you so easily? I was only able to meet you this time because of my sister."

"So how do you plan to thank your sister?" Consort Lan rarely showed any interest, but her words made Ye Qing'an want to laugh.

Ye Weilan was stunned for a while before she realized that Consort Lan's thanks were because she had said that she was able to enter the palace and meet Consort Lan thanks to Ye Qing'an, so she wanted her to thank Ye Qing'an.

Is Xie Yeqing well?

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth inwardly. What was there about that little bitch that she should thank?

What's wrong with Consort Lan? She only saved her once, so why is she always siding with that little slut Ye Qing'an?

Could it be that she has been living in seclusion for too long and is unaware of the situation in the Ye family, unaware of why Ye Qing'an was expelled from the Ye family, and unaware that she is now the most favored legitimate daughter of the Ye family?

Ye Weilan took a deep breath. She couldn't be impatient; she had to be patient and wait for their carefully prepared show to begin, to see Ye Qing'an make a fool of herself and lose all face in front of Consort Lan.

She wanted to see if Consort Lan would still protect her then!

"Of course I'll thank you. When we leave the palace later, I'll take my sister to pick out some jewelry she likes."

"You two sisters have a very good relationship," Consort Lan finally smiled.

Although this praise was the last thing Ye Weilan wanted to hear, she still put on a happy face: "Of course, my sister and I are the best of friends."

Ye Qing'an naturally understood what Ye Weilan was planning. After chatting with Consort Lan for a while, she said, "I drank too much tea this morning, and I have a bit of a stomachache..."

Consort Lan quickly said, "I'll have someone take you there. Eleventh, stay here and talk to me."

The palace maid led Ye Qing'an to a side hall. Just as she arrived at the entrance, someone called out to the maid, "Aunt Rouxi..."

The palace maid named Rouxi turned her head and glanced at Ye Qing'an, who then smiled and said, "Go on with your work. I noticed that there aren't many servants in the Imperial Concubine's palace. Perhaps she has something important to attend to. I've remembered the way I came. I'll go back by myself later."

Rouxi smiled and agreed, bowed to Ye Qing'an, and then left the side hall.

As soon as Ye Qing'an entered the hall, he summoned Jiu Xiao: "Well? After all this time, have you figured it out?"

“It’s itching powder.” Jiu Xiao scoffed. “It’s a cheap, low-class stuff. It just makes people unbearably itchy, making them want to scratch until they’re bleeding.”

As Jiuxiao spoke, he took out a small white jade bottle from his sleeve and tossed it over: "Here, the antidote."

Ye Qing'an took the antidote, poured out one pill and ate it: "Did you bring the powder I asked you to bring along?"

"I brought it." Jiuxiao snorted lightly: "You have to trouble me with such a small matter?"

Trouble?

Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao and thought to herself, "You probably have some misunderstanding about your own position."

However, she still had things to ask the snake to do, so she didn't want to take advantage of the situation.

"Is there any way to get that itching powder you brought onto Ye Weilan?"

"It's a piece of cake." Jiu Xiao was somewhat uninterested: "After I transform, I can shrink my true form to the length of my little finger. People with low cultivation levels will hardly notice me. Then I can sneak up on Ye Weilan and drug her."

"Then let's do it."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Itching powder?

Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan had to go through some trouble to find out that she was going to the palace to meet Consort Lan. The palace always placed great importance on etiquette, manners, and conduct. If she hadn't realized she'd been tricked by the itching powder, she would have been sitting on pins and needles, her whole body itching maddeningly, yet she would have had to try every possible way to endure it. But the power of the itching powder was not to be underestimated; simply enduring it probably wouldn't be enough, and she would inevitably make a complete fool of herself…

"A lady from a noble family and a young lady from a noble family, yet they spend their days scheming about such vulgar things. It's time to teach them a lesson. Go..."
