Chapter 1,283, Provocation

The picture was originally painted with five peonies with rich and beautiful flowers. One of them was the most beautiful and the peony that Chu Liuyue admired most in the past. Now, there is a little more ink in the middle of the stamen, which strangely ruins the whole picture. layout.

The dark purple flowers are no longer beautiful.

"Check, who is it!" Chu Liuyue's face turned livid with anger that such a thing happened in his study.

Zhang Qilan sat down again and quietly watched Chu Liuyue inquire about the matter. After a while, he found a concubine. She was a concubine who had just entered the house not long ago. She was quite beautiful, and her rich cherry lips made Zhang Qilan very happy. dislike.

She could only see such rich cherry lips on the faces of Shao Wanru and the concubine in front of her. Especially when the concubine's lip shape was somewhat similar to Shao Wanru's, she was even more disgusted.

"Your Majesty, my concubine... I just came to see your prince. If your prince is not here, I will leave immediately. I really don't care about my affairs." I cried.

Her surname is Yu, and she is not the kind of person who goes to the imperial court. In this mansion, she is just called a girl, with the same status as the maid of the first wife. The people in Prince Yue's palace call her Miss Yu.

"You really didn't do anything?" Chu Liuyue said sharply.

"I really didn't do anything. Please find out who is trying to frame me. Please let me make the decision!" The concubine burst into tears and looked at Chu Liuyue with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with pity.

From Zhang Qilan's point of view, I felt that this concubine who was hiding her face and crying really looked like Shao Wanru.

"Your Majesty, deal with this person." Zhang Qilan spoke out for the first time, "Whether it is true or not, since something happened, Your Majesty can no longer stay."

"Ask clearly before speaking!" Chu Liuyue frowned and said displeased.

"Your Majesty, she said someone else framed her for this kind of thing, but no one saw anyone else coming in. Who else could it be besides her? Doesn't it mean that Your Majesty doesn't want to deal with her?" Zhang Qilan said.

She spoke completely from the position of the palace, and she wholeheartedly helped Chu Liuyue come up with ideas. Chu Liuyue should have agreed, but when he saw the concubine's rich lip color, he hesitated for a moment. .

"Come here, take her down first and wait until we find out what happened." Chu Liuyue said solemnly.

Does this mean we won’t deal with this concubine for the time being? Zhang Qilan stood up and glanced at the concubine's room with a deep look: "Your Majesty, I am tired and want to go back to rest."

"Then you should have a good rest!" Chu Liuyue waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

Zhang Qilan walked to the door, looked back at the concubine, with a flash of sternness in his eyes, and turned to leave.

He also said that the two people have nothing to do with each other. If they really have nothing to do with each other, will Chu Liuyue be soft-hearted because of this concubine whose lip color is similar to Shao Wanru's?

Since Da married into Prince Yue's Mansion, it's not like Zhang Qilan has never seen Chu Liuyue deal with his subordinates. When did he become soft-hearted? Even if he killed someone by mistake, he couldn't let it go. Isn't it the same situation as Chu Liuyue's in the past?

Unexpectedly, I would make an exception for such a low-profile thing right now.

The autumn wind was already chilling, and after walking along a few corridors against the wind, Zhang Qilan suddenly stopped at a wind outlet. The wind blew by, and the two maids following her began to quiver.

"Princess, it's too cold here." A maid said timidly.

Zhang Qilan didn't seem to hear the maid's words. She still stood at the wind outlet with her eyebrows lowered. The wind was strong, making her clothes flutter.

, but she didn't feel cold at all. She only felt that her heart was burning and she couldn't suppress it. She had an urge and clenched her fist hard to suppress the jealousy in her heart.

"Princess, be careful of hurting yourself!" the maid said again.

Zhang Qilan took a deep breath to suppress the hatred in her heart. She couldn't show her face at this time. She was Princess Yue now, not Miss Zhang back then. Her current status was only higher than Shao Wanru's, but she had more Lots of opportunities.

"Have you received any reply from Miss Qin who I invited earlier?" she asked as she walked forward.

Miss Qin refers to Qin Yiyan.

"There is no reply yet." The maid reported in a low voice.

Zhang Qilan was a little irritated. She hadn't gone to see Shao Wanru in the past few days, but she expressed goodwill to Qin Yiyan in private. A few days ago, she told her that they had hit it off at first sight and asked her to go shopping together. After Qin Yiyan arrived in the capital, , has been living in Prince Chen's Mansion, and rarely goes out on weekdays, and has no friends. Expressing kindness to her and accompanying her shopping should be able to capture her heart well. Why is there no response yet?

Zhang Qilan guessed as she walked. Unexpectedly, she received a reply from Qin Yiyan just after she returned to her yard. She actually agreed to go shopping together. The time was quite tight, it was in the afternoon.

Zhang Qilan immediately asked someone to give Qin Yiyan a reply, expressing his agreement and booking a place. No matter who arrived first, he would just wait there.

Zhang Qilan came not early in the afternoon. When she arrived at the private room in the teahouse that she had reserved, she saw Qin Yiyan already there, so she walked up with a smile: "Miss Qin came so early, it's me who came late. Have you kept Miss Qin waiting for a long time?"

"Fortunately, it's quite lively here!" Qin Yiyan sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. Below was a lively street. Zhang Qilan booked a private room next to the window. Qin Yiyan could also get a taste of the capital. It was lively and didn't feel like the waiting time was long at all. This was the first time for her to go out on the street so openly in such a long time.

"Let's use some pastries first, and we'll go down later!" Zhang Qilan said with a smile.

The maid went out and had pastries brought up again. Seeing some exquisite pastries that were not available just now, Qin Yiyan picked up a piece and tasted it, and said, "When I came here just now, I said that I had ordered it." , but they didn’t bring me these good ones, only some ordinary ones.”

Although Qin Yiyan thinks these ordinary ones are good, they are really not as good as the ones he has now.

Zhang Qilan smiled and covered her lips with a handkerchief: "Maybe it's because I am Princess Yue. If Princess Chen comes this time, she will also have the same privileges."

"Can't I do it?" Qin Yiyan's face fell and he became unhappy.

"It's not that you can't do it, it's just that we...have taken advantage of the influence of various princes!" Zhang Qilan explained in a good temper.

"I can also borrow my cousin's influence!" Qin Yiyan said unconvinced.

"There is a difference between you being King Chen's cousin and you being King Chen's princess. Maybe some people will look down on you because you are King Chen's cousin, but most of them are still very snobbish. Besides, if it happens in the future, Prince Chen will become the crown prince... Princess Chen’s status is even more precious. Even if Miss Qin is a cousin, she can’t compare to Princess Chen.”

Zhang Qilan took another piece of snack, handed it over enthusiastically, and said casually.

Even after he finished speaking, he seemed to feel something was inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Qin, don't really listen to it. I just said it casually, telling you and Princess Chen

The difference is that she was originally your cousin-in-law, and she was booked to His Highness King Chen early, so she is naturally different from you. "

"But it was me!" Qin Yiyan lowered his head, and his words were very low, almost to himself, but they happened to fall in Zhang Qilan's ears.

"What did Miss Qin mean when you said it was you?" Zhang Qilan frowned slightly, "Miss Qin, you may just say some things casually, but you can't say them nonsense. I'll forget it if I hear it today. I won't tell others, but if Let people know Miss Qin's feelings, as far as Princess Chen is concerned, Miss Qin will not be able to pass."

When she said this, Qin Yiyan showed a bit of anger on his face and was very unconvinced: "What does Princess Yue mean? Why can't I say it? This matter is not my intention alone, but the intention of Concubine Lan." .”

Zhang Qilan smiled and comforted her: "Miss Qin, I really don't mean anything. I'm just afraid that Miss Qin won't understand what's going on here and will suffer a loss and no one can save you!"

"Why do I suffer?" Qin Yiyan said angrily, "Is it my cousin-in-law? Why is she dealing with me? Isn't it just because of what Lady Lan Fei said that I moved into my cousin's house? But what does this mean for her? Okay, maybe Princess Chen will be her only mistress from now on!"

"Of course there won't be only one mistress in Prince Chen's Mansion, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? At least for now, there is only Princess Chen. Miss Qin should be cautious and don't make Princess Chen angry. I used to talk to Princess Chen They are also close friends, but then..." Zhang Qilan paused here and said vaguely, "Forget it, don't mention it!"

Hearing what she said and that it was related to someone close to her, Qin Yiyan became interested and said, "Princess Yue, tell me what happened between you and your cousin. Why does it sound like my cousin did something?"

"It's not a big deal. In fact, I can't blame your cousin-in-law. In fact, sometimes it's hard to explain the relationship between men and women. It's my fault!" Zhang Qilan sighed and his smile faded.

The meaning behind these words is actually related to the relationship between a man and a woman, and it also caused Zhang Qilan and Shao Wanru to turn against each other. If the relationship between a man and a woman is because of Chu Liuchen, then Zhang Qilan is wrong, but Zhang Qilan doesn't look like him. If it was her fault, she would never tell anyone else about it. It seemed that the reason why the relationship between the two people had deteriorated was because of Shao Wanru.

Is that just for Chu Liuyue?

Qin Yiyan was not stupid. He immediately heard the meaning in Zhang Qilan's words. His eyes suddenly widened and his voice trembled: "This...I...my cousin-in-law and His Royal Highness King Yue..."

"Miss Qin, please don't say anything again!" Zhang Qilan's face straightened, and he immediately warned her in a low voice: "If these words get out, you won't get it, and I won't get it either. It's better not to know anything."

"Now that you've done it, why are you afraid that you won't be able to say it? No, I have to tell my cousin to go!" Qin Yiyan couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately.

"Miss Qin, don't act in vain. There is no evidence for this matter." Zhang Qilan took Qin Yiyan's hand.

Qin Yiyan shook her hard twice, but couldn't shake it off. She became more and more angry: "It doesn't matter if my cousin doesn't believe it. I'll tell Concubine Lan that my cousin is such a good person, how could he be deceived by her!"

After saying that, he swung it hard again, this time he actually got rid of Zhang Qilan, and walked out angrily. Zhang Qilan chased to the door, saw Qin Yiyan leaving, stood still, and looked towards the stairs with a cold look. , by coincidence, Princess Yuanan is here...
