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

"You saved Consort Lan?" Princess An Ding's face was full of astonishment: "What happened?"

Ye Qing'an then told Princess An Ding what had happened: "It was a coincidence. I happened to be gathering firewood in that dilapidated temple on the back mountain when this happened. Consort Lan was very kind. She not only sent me back to the Ye residence, but also gave me many gifts."

"That was close." Princess An Ding breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fortunate you were here, otherwise, Consort Lan would have been in grave danger. You saved Consort Lan's life, and you deserve any reward she may bestow upon you."

"You are a good child. This is probably a case of good people being rewarded. It is your opportunity and your destiny."

Ye Qing'an nodded, a smile in her eyes: "Speaking of which, it is just as Le Ping said. Perhaps all the hardships that happened before were trials that God gave me. If I can get through them, I will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

"I was defiled by thieves before and was sent to the manor, but it also led to two fortuitous encounters. The first was what I just mentioned, I was lucky enough to save Consort Lan. The second was that I happened to save a physician from Lanting Pavilion at the manor. That physician helped me repair my dantian meridians, and now I can cultivate again."

"A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise; perhaps that's a perfect example of what happens to me."

Princess An Ding was overjoyed upon hearing this: "You can cultivate now?"

"Yes."

"That truly shows that good fortune follows hardship."

All eyes were on Ye Qing'an. No one expected that this young lady, who had been called a good-for-nothing for more than ten years, could now cultivate.

Just then, a servant rushed in from outside: "Your Highness, the Prince says it's almost time to start the competition, and he wants Your Highness to take all the female guests over."

The princess nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he raised his voice and said, "Let's go. The competition that the prince has arranged today is very interesting. Everyone can go and have some fun. It would be best if we could get a ranking. The prizes today are also very generous. When the prince was preparing the prizes, even I was a little envious."

Everyone was quite satisfied after watching this farce in the garden. Upon hearing what the princess said, they all stood up, some making jokes, some laughing and joking, and some discussing what had just happened.

Ye Qingan silently took two steps back and walked behind.

Upon entering the courtyard, Ye Qing'an noticed two barriers, their entrances resembling vortexes that spun continuously.

Prince An Ding and his male guests were already waiting.

The whispers around them grew louder: "Look, even His Highness the Crown Prince has come. He seems to have become even more handsome."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is already married, so why are you staring at him? Prince Qi is here too. Of all the Emperor's sons, only Prince Qi is of marriageable age and has not yet been betrothed. Prince Qi is also extremely handsome..."

"In my opinion, all of the Emperor's sons are quite good-looking."

"Although His Highness already has a Crown Princess, the positions of Crown Prince's Consort and Crown Prince's Lady are still vacant. What do you think? I still think His Highness is the most handsome one."

"Speaking of handsomeness, even His Highness the Crown Prince is probably inferior to... inferior to that one. It's just a pity..."

"Shh!" Someone quickly lowered their voice to remind them, "That person's name is not to be spoken. What would happen if someone heard it? Besides, that person has been exiled to Qian'an for several years now. I heard that he fell seriously ill in Qian'an. I don't know if he is still alive. It's probably hopeless for him to return to Wangjing City. Let's just think about it."

"However, that person's appearance is truly stunning. I saw him once before, when I was still young, only about ten years old. But even that one time, I was amazed by his beauty. Since then, he has always appeared in my dreams."

Upon hearing their words, Ye Qing'an understood that the person they were referring to must be Prince Duan.

Is Prince Duan really that handsome?

Speaking of good looks, Ye Qing'an thought of Xu Mo again. Even after experiencing two lifetimes and seeing many handsome men, she had to admit that Xu Mo's face was the most handsome she had ever seen.

I wonder, between Prince Duan and Xu Mo, who is better?

As Ye Qing'an pondered this, she quietly raised her head and glanced across the crowd. After searching for a while, she spotted Ye Feiran.

Just as he had said, Ye Feiran sat quietly in his chair, neither speaking nor making any movements. However, perhaps because of the sun, his face appeared somewhat red.

After confirming that Ye Feiran was alright, Ye Qing'an turned her attention to the others.

They said that His Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, and Ye Qing'an quickly locked onto his target.

The person sitting opposite him in the main seat should be Prince An Ding. However, there was a chair next to Prince An Ding, and the man sitting in the chair was about twenty years old. He was wearing a golden python robe, with sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, and a beautiful tan. He was indeed very handsome, and it was the kind of handsome that gave men strength.

Ye Qing'an paused for a moment on that face, but made up her mind that he was no match for Xu Mo.

Ye Qing'an turned her eyes away, but then paused for a moment.

Behind His Highness the Crown Prince stood a person whose appearance seemed vaguely familiar to Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an squinted for a while before finally finding the person in her memory and matching the name.

This person is probably Liu Xueying's son, Ye Zirui.

Ye Zirui was a few months younger than her. She had heard from the servants that he had gone with His Highness the Crown Prince to handle some important business some time ago and had already returned to the mansion.

However, Ye Qing'an had never seen this eldest son of the Ye family in the mansion, so she didn't pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, she met him here first.

Ye Zirui's appearance was similar to Liu Xueying's, and he was considered good-looking, but because he stood behind the Crown Prince, he did not stand out as much.

Ye Qing'an noticed that he was talking to the Crown Prince from time to time, and they seemed very familiar with each other. She understood what was going on.

The Ye family is now in cahoots with the Crown Prince.

Ye Qing'an scoffed. Ye Qinghao was worried about the future of the Ye family and had chosen a side for them early on. In his eyes, this move might be brilliant, but in Ye Qing'an's eyes, it was incredibly foolish.

The position of crown prince changes extremely quickly.

Moreover, the Emperor is in his prime, and the Ye family has already taken sides, aren't they hoping for his death? Since the Emperor is so suspicious, he probably already harbors resentment towards the Ye family.

Ye Qing'an sighed inwardly and turned her eyes, only to suddenly see that Ye Feiran's face was unusually red, and even her eyes were bloodshot.

This couldn't possibly be just because of sunbathing. Ye Feiran... something happened?
