Luo Lan blinked his eyes slyly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said somewhat proudly:
"To celebrate Concubine Chang's birthday, we have naturally prepared a birthday gift, and it is absolutely unique. You will know when the time comes."
Although Ah Cai and Ah Hong were puzzled, they stopped asking. They knew that anything could happen to their princess.
The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the palace. At this time, the palace was extremely busy inside and outside the palace. Most of the people were women, and they seemed to be congratulating Concubine Chang on her birthday.
Ah Hong lifted the sedan curtain door, Ah Cai helped Luo Lan slowly get out of the carriage, and the coachman quickly drove the carriage aside.
Since there were so many people here today, no one came to greet them, and no familiar faces were seen. There was a palace maid waiting at the entrance of the palace to lead the way. After the visitors had registered, they had to enter the palace on foot.
Luo Lan took A Cai and A Hong to the palace gate. The registering father-in-law asked them about their identities and registered them before letting them in.
The group of people in front walked very slowly, and the woman leading the group also moved step by step, looking like a lady, as if she would lose her identity if she took another step.
Luo Lan and the others were about to collide with the girls behind them, but they still took their time.
Ah Cai muttered angrily, "Why are you walking so slowly! It's like your feet can't move forward."
Ah Hong quickly reminded her in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, this is in the palace."
"They are still walking so slowly in the palace. When will they get there? Why don't we go around!"
"No, the person in front doesn't know his identity. If he has a higher status than the princess, we will make him unhappy if we go around rashly."
As soon as A Cai and A Hong finished muttering, they heard someone urging from behind:
"The person in front should walk faster, how about the turtle steps? Why are you so slow?"
Hearing this, the group of people walking in front of Luo Lan stopped immediately. The girl in the leader turned around, raised her eyebrows and glared at Luo Lan and the others:
"What are you shouting about? Are you busy reincarnating?"
The other party didn't care about anything and came to accuse them during the day. A Cai couldn't help but reply:
"Shut your crow mouth, you are crawling like a snail, are you afraid that your waist will slip when you walk?"
Hearing this, the woman headed by the other party slowly turned her head, and the girl behind hurriedly made way for her. The woman was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, with a rosy and shiny complexion. The jewelry in her hair and the gold brocade clothes were enough to show that The other party's identity is impressive.
She was supported by the girl with one hand and walked slowly to Luo Lan and the others. While looking at them, there was contempt in her eyes.
The girl next to her danced and pointed at them and shouted:
"You are so brave. Which family are you from? You dare to be disrespectful to the Crown Princess?"
Crown Princess?
Hearing these three words, Luo Lan looked at her with a hint of curiosity.
That Leng Yun is a womanizer and has a lot of wives and concubines at home. Who in the world doesn't know about this?
Unexpectedly, the princess looked quite pretty. Luo Lan really couldn't understand why Leng Yun was still flirting with women outside when he had such a lovely wife at home.
Seeing that she was sizing him up, the Crown Princess raised her eyebrows slightly, and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips.
The girl next to her pointed at Luo Lan again and yelled rudely: "What are you looking at? Are you scared?"
Luo Lan looked at this arrogant girl and shook his head with a wry smile. A Cai stared back at her, pinched his nose and shouted:
"You girl, you are so sharp-tongued, be careful I pull out your teeth!"
Hearing this, Crown Princess Wu Linlin looked at Ah Cai with her eyes half-closed, and said to the girl beside her:
"Min'er, this is a girl who doesn't know how to live or die, slapping this concubine."
Hearing this, the girl named Min'er raised her eyebrows arrogantly, walked quickly to A Cai, raised her hand, and gritted her teeth, preparing to strike.
Just when Ah Cai was about to stop him, Luo Lan took a step forward, clamped Min'er's wrist firmly, looked at her with a pair of pretty eyes, and said coldly and bitterly:
"It's not your stinky girl's turn to take action against my people."
After speaking, she turned Min'er's wrist in a circle and pushed her hard. She was unsteady on her heels and took a few steps back, almost hitting the crown princess.
She steadied her feet, shook the wrist that Luo Lan had just grasped aggrievedly, and said through gritted teeth:
"Princess, you have to make the decision for me. When have we, the people in the Prince's Mansion, ever suffered this injustice?"
Wu Linlin looked at Luo Lan with half-squinted eyes, moved to her step by step, and said coldly:
"Your girl is rude to me, the Crown Princess. I don't care who your surname is. Being rude to people in my Prince's Mansion means she lacks discipline and should be beaten."
After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Luo Lan, frowned, and said coldly:
"Since you, the master, want to block this slap for the girl, I will fulfill your wish."
After saying that, she raised her palm, her pretty face turned red from suppressing it, and she seemed to want to hit Luo Lan in the face with all her strength, as if she wanted a fatal blow.
At the same time, Luo Lan suddenly squatted down and pretended to pick up the handkerchief that had just fallen to the ground. Wu Linlin's hand was suddenly empty. Because she used too much force, she gained enough strength. Not only did her hand not hit anyone, but she actually So he ducked.
She just heard "Ouch" and almost fell down. Fortunately, Min'er and two other girls came over to hold her up.
"Princess, are you okay?"
"Did you fall? Please take a look..."
Wu Linlin's little face suddenly turned red. She raised her hand and said silently:
"Don't...don't move, my...my waist...is twisted."
Hearing this, the girls around her immediately became confused. The one named Min'er even shouted, "Come here quickly! Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor."
Seeing the exaggerated looks of these girls, Luo Lan, A Cai, and A Hong looked at each other and smiled, then raised their feet and prepared to leave.
"stop…"
Wu Linlin's voice sounded again, and she said bitterly: "You have hurt me, the Crown Princess, do you still want to escape?"
Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned and turned around, looking at the princess who was being supported by the girl and grinning, and asked with surprise:
"How could the Crown Princess blackmail someone in broad daylight? It was obviously you who accidentally twisted your waist. What does that have to do with me? I have other things to do and I don't have time to argue with you here."
After saying that, she was about to turn around. Wu Linlin gritted her teeth and looked at her fiercely to question,
"Do you dare to tell me who you are?"
Luo Lan turned his back to her and replied coldly:
"I will not change my name in business, nor my surname in office. Princess Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion, Shui Luolan..."
After leaving these words, she walked forward gracefully. The girl named Min'er looked at her back, raised her voice and said contemptuously:
"Who do I think she is? It turns out she is a wild girl from the countryside. No wonder she is so rude."
Hearing this, Luo Lan stood in front of his feet and said to A Cai without looking back:
"You girl who talks so freely, give me a slap!"
