1) 通房丫头 Tongfang yatou is the lowest rank in concubine whose general purpose is to service the master in the bedrooinally ht across”
At thisand pretty yatou steadily walked in front of Li Wei Yang and saluted, then smiled and said: ”Xianzhu, the Crown Princess would like to invite you for a chat”
Crown Princess? Li Wei Yang froze for a inally prepared to say a feords to Li Min De, but before she could speak, he had already walked away
Ehwhat’s this? Li Wei Yang, as cast aside for the first time, felt a bit dazed
”Xianzhu?” The yatou looked at her questioningly
Li Wei Yang recovered herself: ”Where is the Crown Princess?”
The yatou pointed to a pavilion not far awaySure enough, she saw the Crown Princess sitting there with a few other ladiesLi Wei Yang looked at the arrangeo numbIt wasn’t that she was doubtful of the Crown PrincessIt was just that the Crown Princess and the Jiang fahter were as inco knew that the Crown Princess would be a too friendly was not necessarily a good thingfor a htlyNevertheless, her steps did not slow their pace
The air fully stiflingAlthough the clothes on her body werehad only walked outside briefly, yet her entire body was dripping with sweatThere were ice cubes placed at the four corners of the pavilion and several yatou aving fans, so it contrarily didn't see on a chair cushi+oned by a split woven bamboo mat, and the crowd had dispersed to admire the scenery elsewhereShe seemed to have lost her enthusiasm for other’s attention at present and was so to her er sister He LianHe Lian earing a water-blue skirt with lotuses around the edges, as her na there similar to a solitary lotus flowerCompared to her elder sister, she was reallyfirst and smiled: ”Elder sister, Xianzhu is here”
The Crown Princess recovered so, co calreet the Crown Princess”
”You, what are you standing on ceremony with me for? Come over and sit!” The Crown Princess
huffed and beckoned her over inti smiled faintly and saluted He FurenThey were both second rank, but the other party was her seniorHe Furen looked at the Crown Princess in astonish’s refined and courteous etiquetteAccording to the ru and difficult to deal with, but He Furen heard the Crown Princesshad always acted out of self-preservation, and also felt that sort of difficult girl couldn’t exist in the world, and that the rumors were only half trueShe then smiled and noddedHe Lian had to stand up i, and she could not sit and receive Li Wei Yang’s courtesySAfter the cere before lowering her gaze
In a split second, it seemed that the entire pavilion had lost its color, and even Li Wei Yang as a wohten her eyes and look at her a few h He Lian's features could not be called remarkably beautiful, but this delicate te remembered that when the princess looked at her sister just now, she had a look of bitter envy
Duke Min would presuhter to the Crown Prince, and as this He Lian was concubine-born, beco walked over and sat down next to the Crown PrincessThe Crown Princess involuntarily sarded her intimately: ”We allow you to come to the Crown Prince residence to visit often, but you refuse”
Li Wei Yang said with a smile: ”It’s true that Crown Princess means well, but I’m afraid that you would be the only one in the residence ould welcome me!”
The Crown Princess heard this and sneered: ”You don't need to worry about herTaking it to heart would just add unnecessary concerns!”
Duke Min Furen coughed lightly, and then the Crown Princess re overShe s a death in your fae was dragged on, but it cannot be avoided this year”
The Crown Princess wanted to use a good e to narrow the distance between the to Li Lao Furen, came to her, which showed that the other party understood very well about this e—the Li fahed and deliberately irl it is reasonable that I shouldn’t say this, but ale one to htly better, yet in the residence there are concubines and tongfang yatou (1), a foul at!”
The Crown Princess was taken aback, but she glanced at He Furen, and evidently He Furen was also greatly surprised
The Crown Princess iard herself as an outsider, and couldn't help but feel pleasedShe looked at her and rebuked: ”How can such words be said lightly? Can it be that you want a husband ill not take in concubines or tongfang?”
Li Wei Yang s to help me find one? Then find one like this, soround who also won’t take in concubinesThis kind of household, I'm afraid you wouldn’t find itHowever, froht to be like this”
He Furen s one wife, you go take a lookIn this world, few can be foundI can tell you that because the late emperor favored Consort Chen in those days, exclusive monopoly is very taboo nowYou can just joke with us in private, but by alls a person who doesn’t understand the gravity of things?” Nevertheless, it was a very amiable tone
The Crown Princess beca and herself were on the sa the subject, there is a suitablecouldn't help being astonished: ”A suitable er cousin He Ran”
Li Wei Yang thought for a while and said: ”That's the one—”
The Crown Princess nodded and said, ”Yes, my second aunt from my father’s side delivered a stillborn, and ood eitherHe passed ahen He Ran was seven years oldHe Ran was guarding a large fae and he had no one to depend on, so reith my brothers since childhoodNow that he is an adult, my father will return all the faht after by all the rich young ladies in the capital!”
Li Wei Yang did not expect the Crown Princess to actually choose such a personThis He Ran was actually very well-knownOriginally, the title of Duke Min would be inherited by the eldest sonThe second son He Chao left the ducal residence and only relied on the ten thousand taels of silver he had been given for his livelihoodThis He Chao did not have other abilities, but his ability to make money was extremely formidableIn just ten years, he had already become the wealthiest person in the capitalIt is said that when his family was at its peak, one third of all shops in the capital belonged to himHowever, his health was very bad, and the wife he married was also short-livedThe two passed away one after another, leaving behind only one son, He RanHe Chao had quarreled with his elder brother and left home, so when He Chao died, seven-year-old He Ran was left to face the winds and rain alone
What happened next was foreseeableHe Chao’s e amount of wealth, it also attracted countless jealous eyesSo, when he passed away, those people ruthlessly caersWhen Duke Min learned of the incident, he disregarded the previous enmity and took He Ran back into the He family home, and moreover took stock of He Chao’s properties one by one, and asking the He family clan members to bear witness, established a written contract to say that the entire surew up in the He fareat careTo wait up until he grew up, He Ran was not only exceptionally handsoaffairs deftly, a rare all-rounder
Seeing her expression, the Crown Princess thought it looked proinally wanted to wed you to the Crown Prince's brothers, but if this were to happen, you could only become a side concubineWith your character, you are not able to compromise and become a concubine, and as for other prospects, those I like are already e, that only leaves hie of influential official’s sons, but those who dare tosHe Ran had a lot of money, if one wanted moral character and looks, he had themHe is definitely an excellent choiceMore importantly, he had no father and no motherAs soon as she e the householdFor a girl with such a fir,He Ran was the ideal choiceThe Crown Princess didn’t just arbitrarily find somebody to foist onto her, but considered it carefullyThis surprised Li Wei Yang a littleNot only had the other party expressed goodwill, but was currying favor with herShe couldn't help wondering if she had overdone it lately,that Li Wei Yang was about to open her mouth, the Crown Princess hurriedly said: ”You listen to h his status is not high, he is a dependable childHis Majesty summoned him last time and really liked hio one step further” She re that if the Crown Prince ascended the throne, then He Ran’s future prospects were guaranteed“What’s e is not at all ioodWhat use is a good-looking face, it’s substance that is the most important!” No mother-in-law, no complicated interpersonal relationshi+ps, what does this iious aristocratic fahters off to He Ran out of love for the said softly: ”ThisI'm afraid I’m not in a position to decide”
The princess s as you nod, I will tell father ee” The i e and not too eye-catchingThe emperor would not prevent it
He Furen sIf you wish to see him, I will call him over now”
In private, she actually had her own plans in rew up by her sideShe regarded hie for hiood, but after interacting with her, she realized that she was an intelligent and farsighted girl, and most i the family property would definitely not be a problemOn the other hand, He Ran was about to enter the i Duke Min's ducal residence, he had no one to rely on thereIf he wanted to advance further, he had to first find a strong supporter, and leveraging a connection through e was the best way
The Li faenerations of senior ministers, andwas also a second rank XianzhuFor He Ran, he could undoubtedly raise his position, and for the Crown Princess, she could take advantage and use the husband to ensnare the Li fahtly bound to the Crown Prince's residenceHer daughter would also gain an abundance of face in front of the Crown Prince
For Li Wei Yang, her strong reputation made it difficult for her to find an appropriatea prince’s side concubine, or entangling herself in a ducal or marquis fah it see below one’s station, but He Ran had a wealthy fae person, and with the help of the Li fa forward(2)This was a transaction where both parties did not suffer any lossesShe believed that with Li Wei Yang's cleverness, she would not refuse
However, Li Wei Yang was in the e offer, when she saw He Lian smile and say: ”Speak of someone and they appearIt’s really tooman entered froe, born handso a plain-coloured robe, standing like a pine tree and the lance one could see that he was a good-tehed, the Crown Princess really went to great lengths to find such a well-off, attractive and good-tempered man, and most crucially, he didn’t have a father or reat deal of effort was expendedEven if she didn’t like hiesture
He Ran was taken aback when he saw this sceneClearly, he didn’t realize that this was a e interview, but since he was already there, he had no choice but to go up to salute the Crown PrincessThe Crown Princess turned to hi Xianzhu”
He Ran glanced at Li Wei Yang indifferently, then lowered his head politely, and s Xianzhu’s noble character and rare te it now it is indeed true”
The Crown Princess sht this tiood points, when Li Wei Yang stood up and s everywhere forback to the banquet now?”
The Crown Princess stared blankly at Li Wei Yang for a moment, and then looked at He Ran, who blushed and bowed his headShe was a little puzzledCould it be that Li Wei Yang had not taken a fancy to her cousin? Iround, not encuht that it was because she had not hinted enoughIf Li Wei Yang did not want He Ran to take a concubine, they could all agree on it — what other faree to such a condition, it’s very likely that they wouldn’t even dare to think about it! No, could it be that Li Wei Yang was shy? The Crown Princess closely exa's expression, but she didn't see any shynessContrarily, her own younger cousin was so embarrassed that he could hardly lift his head and his face reses and found an excuse to leave in a hurry
The Crown Princess’ face showed deep regret as she repeatedly urged her to stay, but it onlyfinally extricated herself with great difficulty and let out a sigh, but as she walked past a rockery, she suddenly heard a voice ring out fro?”
Li Wei Yang frowned slightly and turned her headThe people around hihness Crown Prince, ten thousand ishes” The Crown Prince earing a bright yellow coiled dragon casual dress with silver thread lining the sleeves, and he stood tall and uprightHis appearance is not very outstanding a his handsome brothers, but he had done well for himself for more than 20 years, and possessed a noble air worthy of the throne’s successorLi Wei Yang watched as the prince approached wearing a shness’ history of bad luck
Speaking of which, the Crown Prince had reincarnated well, especially coinsThe Crown Prince’s starting point was not better than others by only a bitHis randfather was the Ereat ministerHe was a crown prince all his life, plus he was hardworking and studious, and his appearance was not badHe was able tooutsideHowever, as ic was that the Emperor was excessively paranoid and his power too for the throneThis was not the worst of itThe E sons, and helped create many enemies for the princeThe Third Prince and the Seventh Prince each had their own strengths and thriving ambitionsCompared with these individuals, the Crown Prince, ould be considered a smart and capable man in an ordinary rich family, immediately seeinally, it was because he had been the crown prince for many years that he became more and more anxious, and was incited by Tuoba Zhen to do s before he finally lost the throne tragically
He strolled over with a s
”Xianzhu, why not go to enjoy the flowers?”
Li Wei Yang lowered her head and said, ”I just came out of the pavilion and disturbed the Crown Prince's peaceI ask Your Highness for forgiveness”
”We’re all family hereWhy be so polite?!” The prince s was stunned for awhere this so-called family came from
The prince smiled and said, ”Your cousin is my side concubine, so you are considered ht?”
Oh, so he was referring to Jiang LanThe expression on Li Wei Yang's face was like a smile yet not a smile
The prince ca took a step backThe prince couldn't help laughing: ”What, are you afraid of htly: ”This subject dare not overstep” Zhao Yue wrinkled her brows on the sideIf it were not for the noble status of the person in front of her, she would have cut him doith her sword early on
”On the surfaceactually coressive that day at Jiang manor?”
