The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 72
"Miss Qingqian, don't talk about it. I can't blame anyone else for this matter, and it's over, and I don't want to mention it again. I understand your kindness, so that's fine, so be it, I don't want to blame anyone." Qingqian came to comfort herself, Ye Anran immediately explained the matter straight to the point, meaning that you don't have to worry about me, and I don't blame you, don't mention this matter again in the future.

"Princess Wangfei, it's good if you can think about it. In fact... the master is not like that. I have known him for a long time. I have known him since he was my grandfather's student. He is very good, but... that The woman ruined him." Sima Qingqian said with some regret.

Ye Anran had also heard some rumors a long time ago. It was nothing more than something about King Rui'an's love for Empress Shen. She was not interested in hearing it, and she didn't want to hear it, so she smiled softly: "Miss Qingqian, I know what you want to say What, these have nothing to do with me, I don't want to know about him, and I don't want to know."

Hearing what Ye Anran said, Sima Qingqian was naturally embarrassed to continue talking, so he took Ye Anran's hand and said: "Then princess, please rest well, it will be the prince's birthday in a few days, you... ...Will you also go to the front hall to participate? The prince's birthday is very grand every year, and the queen mother and the emperor will come in person, but this year, the prince said that he doesn't like to make too much noise, so no one invites anyone, just have a small gathering in the prince's mansion, I was worried that it would not be done well, so I asked the servants to start preparing early."

"I'm all living here, can I not go? He won't let me go, Miss Qingqian, you can go back at ease, I will definitely not embarrass you, the prince's birthday, I will be there." Clear Sima Qingqian's reason for coming, Ye Anran immediately expressed his intentions, reassuring her.

Seeing that Ye Anran's mood was so stable, Sima Qingqian didn't say anything, got up and left...

Xiao Rong came in just to meet her face to face, and immediately asked with a sullen face, "My lord, what is this woman doing here in our Chunxiao Pavilion?"

"She came to bring me some ointment." Ye Anran replied lightly.

"Hmph, she's so kind, I'm afraid it's because the weasel didn't have the best intentions to give the chicken New Year's greetings." Xiao Rong seemed to have a little prejudice against Sima Qingqian, so he was not polite when he spoke.

"Xiao Rong, what's the matter? How did Sima Qingqian mess with you?" Ye Anran looked at her in surprise.

"My lord, don't you see clearly? The lord dotes on her now, and entrusts her with her birthday. This should have been done by the empress, and if she hadn't transferred the slaves away, you would have been out of control, my lord." What happened last night? After all, she can be considered the culprit, master, it would be better for you not to have any contact with her in the future." Although Xiao Rong is a slave, she has clear grievances and grievances, and her words are not unreasonable.

But Ye Anran knew that Sima Qingqian definitely didn't intend to transfer Xiao Rong to frame him, so he just comforted Xiao Rong: "Forget it, you can't blame her for this matter, Xiao Rong, you don't know anything, don't worry about it in the future." Go out and talk nonsense, you also know that Wang Ye is good to Qingqian now, if Wang Ye hears about it, you will be miserable."

"Princess and master, why don't we go to Missy, servant girl, only Missy can deal with the prince, we can't sit and wait like this, the prince is obviously targeting us, if this continues, we will become more and more dangerous." Rong suddenly thought of the prince's bloodthirsty appearance last night, and he was terrified.

Unexpectedly, Ye Anran just shook her head: "No, I can't look for my sister anymore, she is in trouble all over herself, she is having trouble with the emperor recently, and she is already in danger, if she is worrying about my affairs, it will be even more troublesome, I can't Make trouble for my sister."

Hearing what Ye Anran said, Xiao Rong also felt that it made sense, so he handed over rice wine glutinous rice balls and said, "Here, master, how would you like to taste it?"

Ye Anran took a sip of the glutinous rice balls with a smile: "Well, it's very good, it's still delicious as usual."

Hearing the master's praise, Xiao Rong smiled triumphantly. At this moment, she asked each other in a low voice as if thinking of something: "My lord, did you really see the son of Gusu Meng's family last night?"

Ye Anran paused holding the spoon, then nodded lightly: "Yes, I see."

"How is Mr. Meng? Is he handsome? Is his conversation elegant?" Xiaorong has long known about the marriage between the second lady and the Meng family, so before that, she has always regarded the young master of the Meng family as the new uncle. Who knows what happened? It was so fast, so I was very curious and wanted to ask what kind of person Meng Gongzi was.

"He is old and ugly, hard to catch the eye, and his speech is vulgar. There is really no merit." Ye Anran said with a sigh.

"Ah? No way, how is it possible? Didn't Master and Madam say that the son of the Meng family is a good-looking talent?" Xiao Rong was dumbfounded.

"Hehe, idiot, I lied to you. Meng Zhaoyang is a very nice person. He looks handsome and speaks elegantly. He looks like a gentleman." Seeing that he had cheated Xiaorong, Ye Anran couldn't help feeling better.

"Okay, my lord concubine, you dare to lie to the servant, and the servant said that the young master of the Meng family must be the dragon among men, how could he do what you said." Hearing that the master was joking with herself, Xiao Rong heaved a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, no one mentioned what happened that night, and that matter was also buried in Ye Anran's heart, becoming an invisible scar.

A few more days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the prince's birthday.

There were lights and festoons in the Prince Ruian's mansion. Although there was no birthday banquet this year, those dignitaries who heard about it still brought gifts in a steady stream. These days, the palace was almost broken through.

Palace lobby
Several women sat around the table in the early morning, Xiangyi, Song Siyan, and Sima Qingqian all dressed up to attend, even Xi Gongjue changed his habit of dark brocade robes and changed into vermilion brocade robes, looking extraordinarily happy .

There is a rule in Tianmu Kingdom, that is, on the day of the male lead's birthday, the wives and concubines must accompany them to have breakfast, because there is a reunion meal in the breakfast, which means that the family is harmonious and auspicious.

After Xi Gongjue sat down, Ye Anran was still nowhere to be seen. Doesn't she know what day it is?
Xi Gongjue glanced sideways at Sima Qingqian, meaning it was very clear that she was the host of this time, but if he asked her, Sima Qingqian immediately replied: "My lord, this servant has already told the princess that she will come .”

Song Siyan smiled contemptuously: "I will come, what time is it? Does she want us all to wait for her until night?"

At this moment, Xi Gongjue's face was obviously displeased, Xiang Yi smiled and said: "The princess has been overworked recently, so maybe she hasn't woken up yet?"

"Hehe, she is the only one who is precious. I haven't said I'm tired when I stay in Yanyu Garden for the past few days, but she is tired when she is alone." Song Siyan actually said this with a lot of bragging elements.

These days, apart from Xiangyi's place, Xigongjue really went to stay at Song Siyan's place, but he didn't touch her, maybe Xigongjue didn't have that mood long ago.

Seeing Xiangyi and Song Siyan chatting with each other, Sima Qingqian felt a little uncomfortable. She has been in the palace for several years, but she has never been favored. Even if the prince favors a woman like Song Siyan, he will not touch her. One finger, in the euphemistic name of protecting her, but who knows the real reason?
She is a lady from a famous family, and she is not as good as Xiangyi from a brothel at this time in the palace, which has to be sympathetic.

At this moment, the servant at the door shouted back: "The princess is here."

"Hey, after so much waiting, it's finally here." Xiang Yi said with a smile.

Ye Anran came in with a cup of tea in his hand, and bowed to salute: "My concubine, please greet me."

"Why is it so late? Don't you know what day it is?" Xi Gongjue asked dissatisfied.
