Chapter 284 Whose Tiger Skin Is More Useful

It was dark, and Bai Ye was walking on the stone road in the palace.

As a princess, she was entitled to take public transportation to enter the palace, but after passing the front hall and entering the side palace, she had to walk to show respect.

Walking into the corridor leading to the cold bath room, Bai Ye was thinking about whether to go to the cold bath room to relax.

It was mainly because of that bastard Sean, who only touched but did not do anything... It was useless to scold her, helpless, and resigned to her fate.

This bastard treated her as a steering wheel. It was obviously an important part of the explanation, but this bastard didn't even say a word at the end - when he pinched it a little harder, it meant that he had to focus on explaining this position. When he fiddled with it, it was time to skip the place he was not interested in...

Bai Ye even thought that it would be better to go directly to the bedroom...

In the end, Sean just clapped his hands in satisfaction to indicate that he knew, and then ordered him to leave.

Only Bai Ye was left with a red sensitive part...

What's more tragic is that Bai Ye found that she was almost used to it in the end.

She was indeed prepared. Even though she said she was unwilling, based on her understanding of Sean, she knew that she would most likely not be able to escape from his clutches in the end.

But you didn't even give me a quick death...

Thinking about all this angrily, Bai Ye still walked towards the cold shower room. She had to relax and calm down.

These were all external things, and they were all unimportant... At this critical period, I must focus on the right of inheritance, and nothing can go wrong in this regard...

Thinking about this, just after turning around the corridor, Shadow appeared in front of him and blocked the person coming.

Several maids following Bai Ye were startled. As the guard of Her Royal Highness, Shadow could not appear here unless it was dangerous.

Bai Ye naturally knew this. She looked up and heard Shadow calmly say, "His Majesty has personally issued a ban. Maids and palace ministers in the palace cannot hide in the shadows."

Beyond the shadow, in the shadow of the corridor in front, an old lady in a maid's uniform bowed and walked out.

"Princess Lan wants to meet His Highness Bai Ye. I'll go and inform him, but His Highness is not here for the time being. I can only wait on the road that His Highness must take to return to the palace. Please understand."

The old lady who spoke had a kind face, but the maids around Bai Ye subconsciously took a step back.

Lam Lam's wet nurse... Bai Ye frowned slightly.

Lam Lam is the mother of the third and fourth princes, and is quite favored by his father.

Her other identity is the most prestigious speaker among the three current speakers, the youngest daughter of Lan Youshan.

There is another identity that has long been used, that is, the former national idol, with a single name of Lan.

She started performing at the age of twelve, and successfully won the love of the empire at the age of fourteen. Theater tickets with her head portrait are even worth collecting now.

Then, she entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and gave birth to twins for His Majesty the Emperor at the age of sixteen.

Of course, in the past, Lam would not have been given the title of Concubine Lan, because when the previous emperor was in office, the empire was still monogamous.

Strong men and women will have a lot of mistresses and lovers, but in public, you can only have one legal spouse.

There are some privileges for His Majesty the Emperor. For example, the previous old emperor, Bai Ye’s grandfather, who had never met him, had more than 120 registered official mistresses. Some of these official mistresses would be granted titles, but most of them just lived in empty villas waiting for occasional favors.

Sons born to mistresses generally have no inheritance rights and will be sent to the palace for separate training after a certain age.

After Bai Ye’s father ascended the throne, monogamy was changed to polygamy, and men or women who paid a certain fine could legally marry a spouse again.

The promoter of this system was Lan Youshan, and soon after that, Lan Keer entered the palace and became Lan Fei. The two princes she gave birth to, Bai You and Bai Si, naturally had the qualifications to inherit the throne.

After the death of Bai Ye’s mother, the queen, the position of the queen had been vacant. The biological mother of the eldest prince was a female slave, and now nominally relied on a concubine named Wu Fei. The second prince's mother has a special status. She is the only female grand duke among the grand dukes, but she is not loved by the emperor.

Therefore, Concubine Lan, who gave birth to two princes who have the opportunity to compete for the throne, is the invisible queen in the harem. In addition, the emperor has been ill in recent years, and the harem is controlled by Concubine Lan alone.

As the wet nurse who has raised Concubine Lan since she was a child, this old lady, who is only a maid in name, has a high prestige in the palace.

No wonder the shadow appeared directly...

Bai Ye passed the shadow, with a slightly sleepy look on her face, and said apologetically: "I am a little tired today, I am afraid that Concubine Lan will be unhappy. When Bai Ye recovers her spirit, I will go to Concubine Lan in person to apologize, okay?"

She and Concubine Lan rarely interacted, and the occasional interactions were not pleasant. Moreover, the contradiction between her and the third prince was clearly there. In addition, Concubine Lan entered the palace and gave birth to a child at a very young age. She is not yet forty years old now, and it is said that she still has a child's temper.

What good things can come?

Bai Ye was unwilling to deal with this Lan Fei, not because he was afraid, but because there was nothing to talk about. Would his mother not stand on her son's side?

Going there would just be a waste of time.

She was a princess after all, and speaking to a maid like this was already a great honor.

However, the nanny took a step forward to block Bai Ye's way. Her voice was calm, but her words could not be rejected.

"Your Highness, Concubine Lan should have rested an hour ago, but she has not slept until now to wait for you."

"Then... please lead the way." The other party insisted, and Bai Ye had to agree.

Shadow glanced at her, his eyes flickering, obviously asking her if she wanted to inform others.

Bai Ye shook her head slightly. No matter what Concubine Lan wanted to do, she couldn't do anything out of the ordinary. At most, she would be bullied.

She had just been bullied by Sean, so what was it to go there and suffer a little grievance now?

As long as you have faced someone like Sean, you will often have some "that's it?" emotions when facing others.

Maybe it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, right?

...

Just as Bai Ye expected, Concubine Lan scolded her in various names.

This concubine, who is only 40 years old, still maintains the beauty and refinement of her youth. Compared with the time when she was a national idol, she is more elegant and more charming as a mature woman.

However, while maintaining her beauty, the willful temper of a little girl has also been retained.

She is almost 40 years old, and she still uses some unfounded reasons to bully the weak. In half an hour, she scolded Bai Ye to pieces.

"... As the eldest princess, you should set an example for your brothers and sisters. You show up every day, and I don't know who you hang out with when you go out. What do your brothers and sisters think?"

In the past, Bai Ye would probably not be able to help but retort: ​​"Third brother and fourth brother are also out every day, right?"

Then, Concubine Lan would scold more vigorously, and she, a princess with no background, no special ability, and no inheritance rights, could only be scolded silently.

But now, Bai Ye just felt a little sleepy.

"Push harder? Haven't you eaten?" Somehow, Bai Ye remembered the constant dirty talk from Sean. No matter who he was talking to, that guy always had a lot of twisted logic mixed with witty words, and he would turn his face when he was unhappy.

Compared with what Sean said and did, Lan Fei's little tricks to suppress herself were really uninteresting.

Oh no, I was not influenced by Sean subtly, was I?

Bai Ye thought about it with some vigilance. Looking at Sean's appearance, XP must not be a normal person... Did that bastard want to teach me a lesson?

Maybe it was really too sleepy, and a flaw finally appeared in Bai Ye's well-pretended face.

Lan Fei, who was staring at her and scolding, frowned: "Bai Ye, are you impatient with what I said?"

Bai Ye lowered his eyes after reacting, and said softly: "Bai Ye dare not, Bai Ye is listening to Lan Fei's teachings."

Lan Fei raised her eyebrows, and she was amazingly beautiful even when she was angry.

Even Bai Ye had to sigh secretly. Concubine Lan's appearance was indeed nothing to say, but... the third and fourth brothers were just ordinary handsome guys. Was it because the emperor was not handsome enough?

I haven't seen the emperor's face for many years. He was indeed very majestic, but the emperor's uncle was handsome and unrestrained, so the emperor should not be much worse.

But Sean, that bastard, was much better than my brothers in appearance. If no one said anything, he did look like the prince just by looking at his face...

Bai Ye's absent-mindedness made Concubine Lan very unhappy. She unconsciously raised her voice a lot: "Bai Ye, I see that you have forgotten what your father taught you recently!"

Bai Ye lowered his head and said softly: "Bai Ye dare not. Of course, I have always remembered the emperor's teachings."

"Then if you remember your father's teachings, you don't have to listen to my words, right?" Concubine Lan had a kind of persistent beauty.

"I dare not. Bai Ye has always remembered what Concubine Lan taught me."

"Oh?" Concubine Lan seemed to be waiting for this sentence. Then, she waved her hand nonchalantly, "In that case, you should remember some things."

"Bai Ye is listening."

Concubine Lan said confidently: "Some things should be left to your brothers."

"For example?"

Concubine Lan continued: "The inheritance of the late queen is huge. I am a woman and I understand women. I can't manage it well if I give it to you. I think it's better to let your third brother continue to help you manage it. When you are going to get married, I will give it to you together."

So this is why he came... Bai Ye thought.

She was not angry, but nodded gently: "Concubine Lan is right, Bai Ye knows."

Concubine Lan showed a hint of surprise in her eyes. Why is Bai Ye so honest now?

What she didn't know was that Bai Ye had already learned some important things from Sean.

Promise you? Why don't I remember?

When the things are in my hands, I should have the right to speak. What if I agree now? I won't do it anyway.

Lan Fei was a little unprepared for Bai Ye's docility. She looked at Bai Ye, thought for a while and continued: "That's good... You are almost getting married. I have been helping you find someone during this period. Do you have a sweetheart?"

The old-fashioned marriage... Bai Ye shook his head a little bored: "No."

Concubine Lan nodded: "Then let me help you find something... By the way, you loved to play with your brothers when you were a child. Now you are getting married and you are an older child. Your brothers are fine. , but it’s better to have less contact with my cousin, otherwise people will spread gossip, and if it brings shame to the reputation of the royal family, then it’s my fault for teaching you.”

In addition to my mother's inheritance, they also want to prevent me from interacting with Sean... The reason is so bad and the method is so bad, Bai Ye just wants to smile.

However, no one knows that Sean has not received much commitment from the emperor's uncle at all, and now he is just taking advantage of the emperor's uncle...

Then I can naturally take advantage of Sean's skin.

Bai Ye showed an embarrassed look: "I just met my cousin... Forgive Bai Ye's blunt words, but with my cousin's temper, I'm afraid he won't be able to hear such words. He said that he wants to get close to my sister, We all made an appointment to go on a trip together tomorrow."

Concubine Lan frowned and snorted: "Why, I am an elder, can't I talk to you?"

Bai Ye blinked: "Of course it works for me, but for my cousin... why don't you ask the third brother? My cousin doesn't have a good temper, and I'm afraid of making him angry."

This is a direct loss of face to Concubine Lan, and it is in Sean's name. Even the most favored Concubine Lan cannot reprimand the unknown Crown Prince like an ordinary prince, not to mention that he himself absent.

The most important thing is that Prince Bai Youming is really scary.

Concubine Lan had no choice but to maintain her dignity and said: "I will tell him personally. Just go back. By the way, keep in mind what I taught you before."

Bai Ye nodded obediently: "Yes, I understand. Bai Ye will go back first. Oh, by the way, my cousin and I have made an appointment to go to the Imperial Treasure House tomorrow. You can go there and reprimand him."

Concubine Lan choked, but Bai Ye quickly stood up and left the palace.

After a while, Bai You walked out of the inner hall.

Concubine Lan was sulking and said unhappily: "Bai Ye dares to talk back to me. She must have a relationship with that Sean."

Bai You said softly: "Mom, please calm down and we may not be able to establish a relationship...According to Xiao En and Bai Ye's personalities, if they have reached an agreement, they will never let us know so easily."

Lan Fei's eyes lit up: "You mean, Bai Ye is just pretending to be powerful?"

Bai You nodded: "It's very possible, so let's try them again tomorrow."

Concubine Lan looked at her eldest son and said happily: "Sure enough, he has grown up and is much smarter than his mother. Don't worry, his mother will help pave the way for you and your brother."

"Thank you, mother, please rest assured. Bai Si and I will work together."

While speaking, Bai You lowered his head, only a cold light flashed through his eyes.

…

Back in his palace, Bai Ye quickly stepped into the bath.

Feeling the coolness of the cold water on her body, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lowering his head and looking at his somewhat red chest, Bai Ye patted it with cold water and snorted: "It's all the fault of that bastard that he's still standing!"

As she spoke, she slowly sank into the water, a cunning look flashed in her eyes.

Although Concubine Lan does not have a palace, someone must have signaled her to do these things, and it was most likely her third brother.

According to the suspicious character of the third brother, he must be suspecting that I am pretending to pull Sean's tiger skin against Concubine Lan.

He will definitely try to win over Sean...

With Sean's mind, he could guess right away. Next, he might eat the third brother to pieces...
