The wife is fierce and 90 degrees of spectrum

  The fourth and fifth sisters also nodded, meaning that following the third sister would be fine. With Yang Lan together, it's either a princess or a county master, the identity gap is too big, they may not look up to us, why bother going over to invite white eyes!

  Yang Lan thought to herself, those who play with her are all high above the rest, they might not be happy if they went, it's better to make friends with some girls of similar status here, and have more fun, after all they are still Yang family girls, there are many people who want to fawn on them, following her to socialize with princesses and noble ladies, others may not necessarily look up to them, it would be awkward for both parties, why bother!

  But she worried, what if someone with no eyes came to bully them when she was not around?

  Wan Rou saw Yang Lan's concerns and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm watching! I guarantee that your sisters won't be bullied, you just go have fun."

  Yang Lan nodded immediately, and before leaving, she waved her small fist, "If there's anyone who dares to bully you, just hit back at them. If the sky falls, I'll be here to support you." Then she ran off.

  The three girls were both amused and moved, shaking their heads in dismay. "How can this girl's temper be so explosive?! I thought I was the impatient one, but it seems there's someone even more severe than me! My mother can't scold me anymore, now that there's someone to take the fall for me!"

  Several people couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Wen Rou nodded repeatedly, "But! This girl has a bad temper! Don't be fooled by her usual gentle appearance, she gets stubborn when things don't go her way!"

  The three girls also nodded and smiled in response. Six sister was usually very kind on a daily basis, but if you observed carefully, it was actually hard to get close to her heart. Even her smile had a hint of distance in its sincerity. This was still within the family. Fourth sister found that six sister would smile politely at outsiders, even if they were wrong, she rarely argued back. It's basically not taken to heart.

  Wan Rou and others are obviously more sensitive, able to grasp Yang Lan's temperament. Generally do not argue with people, can tolerate but the premise is not to offend the bottom line, otherwise it will make you very embarrassed.

  A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and Wan Rou also only exchanged a few words with San Niang before being pulled away. The fourth and fifth daughters-in-law were mostly just accompaniments, but their eyes shone brightly, even when they were just listening, without any resentment. This made Wan Rou think to herself that the Yang family's upbringing was quite good.

  The third girl saw that her friends on the other side had already waved at her, and pulled the fourth girl over, saying: "Let's go, I'll introduce you to a few good friends. We have our own way of having fun!"

  The three girls are no longer as jealous of Yang Lan as they used to be. A few years of education have made them see the gap, and when someone is so far ahead that you can't help but look up to them, there's not much room for jealousy. Instead, it adds a bit of peace of mind. From another perspective, they are the sisters of the Princess of Jing'an, as long as they don't lose face too badly, who dares not to give them face? Isn't this also a kind of borrowing power? It's still an open and honest borrowing, and it won't make people feel resentful.

  But the sister-in-law didn't understand this principle, always wanting to suppress their spirit. Yet she didn't know that some people are born with many more resources and stand in a much higher position, it's not something that can be achieved by simply suppressing them.

  Yang Lan found Zhou Ying and Ming Yu at Rain Flower Terrace. Le An Princess was also there, "Oh, you're all here! You've found a great spot!"

  "Jing'an, how could you come back without saying a word to me? That day you went to the palace, I happened to be with Empress Dowager. Otherwise, I should have gone to see you!"

  Le An gazed at Yang Lan, who was smiling with a gentle and elegant face, wearing a silver-red embroidered dress with scattered apricot flowers. The same-colored waist skirt had gold-inlaid jade headdress, looking warm and majestic.

  Zhou Ying looked up at her with a smile, continuing to stare at his fishing rod. Ming Yu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcastic smile, which quickly disappeared.

  Yang Lan smiled and gave Le An a courtesy, "Jing An pays respects to the princess!"

  Le An's face stiffened for a moment, and the smile on his face immediately reacted to return the courtesy. He said with a slightly awkward tone: "Look at you, how come you've become so estranged from me in two years!"

  Yang Lan smiled sweetly, "Where is it? Can't abandon the gift! What did you catch?" She turned her head to look at Zhou Ying and the others.

  She skillfully changed the subject, not wanting to answer Le An's question, with a somewhat condescending tone. It seemed that she was also relying on the queen to have a good life, and in two years, she had become even more arrogant. After all, princesses were noble, but she was being too much. Why did she always put on an air of superiority?

  Le An didn't intend to let Yang Lan change the subject, instead she brought up another matter. "The other day, one of my study companions went out with their family and left a vacancy. I plan to have you, Miss Yang, fill it. Who do you think is suitable? If not, I heard that your household has a cousin who is also quite talented in poetry. I will discuss this with the Empress Dowager, and after we confirm the candidate, please bring her to me. Don't worry, I won't mistreat Miss Yang." She slightly raised her chin, giving orders on her own, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

  Yang Lan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she waved her hand slowly, saying: "The girls in my Yang family don't have the idea of being a companion reader. They are spoiled and can't bear the rules of the palace. I'm afraid it will tarnish the princess's reputation. Besides, my mother is not very happy about this either! Why don't you choose someone else? My cousin has already returned home and is almost at the age of engagement, so it's not good for her to run around outside."

  Le An's face sank, she thought that as long as she spoke up, no matter what, Yang Lan couldn't refuse her in front of the Empress Dowager. If she could pull the Yang family over to their side, the Empress Dowager would definitely remember her great merit. She didn't expect Yang Lan to be so ungrateful and despicable!

  "Are you not giving me face, not giving Her Majesty the Empress face?" Le An was very unhappy, with a somewhat threatening tone.

  Yang Lan tilted her head and looked at Le An with a strange expression, her eyes filled with mockery and understanding. She smiled calmly and said: "Since the princess insists, I'll go to the palace tomorrow and ask my grandmother about it. I haven't heard that I'm supposed to be a study companion for the Yang family's daughter. Even the empress didn't tell me about it, did I miss something? This is a big deal, how can I make decisions on my own as a junior? We have to ask for the opinions of our elders. Can't just agree with you and not follow through! Besides, what I say doesn't count anyway!" After finishing, she spread her hands out in a very rogue-like manner.

  Le An's face was gloomy and unbearable, but he couldn't think of anything to retort. Yet, he felt a bit unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more. Just then, Ming Yu interrupted him, "Ah! Come quick and help me! I've caught a big fish, we'll have an extra dish for lunch!"

  Yang Lan immediately ran over to help pull the fishing rod, and exclaimed repeatedly, "It's a big fish, it's quite heavy!" From time to time, she raised her bright and cheerful laughter, like a yellow oriole, and her joyful face was radiant in the sunlight.

  Le An stood there, being ignored by everyone, feeling wronged and sad in her heart. She secretly resented Yang Lan for not knowing how to repay kindness. Helping me is helping yourself, isn't it? Who else can you help besides the crown prince? Wait until I have a good day, I'll promote you too! Don't think you're so great now, there will be a time when you cry later.

  Zhou Ying also put down her own fishing rod and ran to help, the three of them playing together in high spirits, making An Le Ge Ge appear out of place.

  Le An walked alone under the Rain Flower Pavilion, feeling a bit down, when Chu Le Yi happened to walk by. She was wearing a pink embroidered five-blessings jacket and a matching horse-face skirt. Her hair was adorned with golden silk pins and her skin was fair and smooth, with willow-leaf eyebrows. Although her features were delicate, they seemed ordinary compared to those of Le An and the others. However, she looked very rich and elegant in her attire.

  She was conferred as a county lord by the emperor, her father is the second prince, and the mother of the second prince is Xianfei. In her early years when she was still in the palace, she was one of the emperor's concubines.

  The second prince is quite talented in literature and has some reputation among the officials. He is also very favored by the emperor. Now he has two sons and one daughter, but only one of them is a legitimate son. The other is an illegitimate child, but since there is only one daughter, she is still dearly loved and spoiled by Empress Dowager Zhen, who is also the imperial family's own granddaughter. Her maternal family is the powerful Webei Marquis, who governs the northwest region, and in the capital city, they are also a dominant force, with few people daring to provoke them.

  Interestingly, the Prince of Wei Bei and the Prince of An Ning happened to be in the northwest at the same time, with separate courts and rituals. It was said that Xian Fei and the Empress had been on bad terms for a long time, and it was already an open secret.

  "It's Le An! How are you alone here? Didn't you play with them?" Chu Le Yi asked curiously, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

  Le An glanced at her and didn't say anything, his expression still a bit dazed.

  Chu Le Yi didn't mind, smiled and said: "Is it that they bullied you? Don't mind, Yang Lan is the emperor's favorite person, don't always butt heads with them, you can't afford to offend them." The words were somewhat comforting.

  Le An just curled up the corner of her mouth and sneered, "How dare I? Who would put me in their eyes?" After finishing, she hummed a sound of discontent, feeling quite wronged. It's always like this, excluding her, what's the basis? Does she think she doesn't know? Isn't it just because she's not a legitimate child? But she is also a princess.

  "How can you say that? You're a princess, raised under the name of the Empress Dowager, who do you think you are to be stepped on by anyone? But if something happens and you need me to mediate, we're friends who played together, no need to take it seriously. Be more magnanimous and let it go, after all Yang Lan is younger than you! It's normal for her not to understand." Chu Le Yi smiled and comforted.

  This made Le's heart even more unbalanced, and she couldn't help but tell her grievances to her. "I just asked Yang's daughter to choose one for me as a study partner, but she was unwilling, and she actually embarrassed me in front of everyone, making it hard for me to save face." As she spoke, her eyes also turned red, and she turned around to gently wipe away tears.

  Chu Le Yi's eyes sparkled with bright light, a fleeting joy that was quickly concealed, and she smiled nonchalantly: "What am I supposed to do? Can't you just ask the Empress Dowager to issue an edict directly? You can't discuss this matter with her, you're a princess and she's just a county lady! Would she dare not listen to the Empress Dowager's edict? What's there to say, you really are amusing!" As if she had heard something hilarious.

  Le An's eyes lit up, right! I can directly ask the Queen to issue an edict, Yang's family is a minister, dare they not listen? Immediately, her expression improved a lot, and she also looked at Chu Le Yi with a few more good feelings.

  Chu Le smiled and said, "You don't have to get angry over such a small thing, it's just a servant girl, what's the big deal? If you don't want to play with me, I'll just go play with someone else! Only they fawn all over you, who dares to cross you?"

  Le An pouted, "She's the Taohou's darling, how can I compare to that?!"

  Even on ordinary days, it's just going with the flow to ask how she's doing, and in a month, being able to say ten words to herself is already rare. How can she compare to Yang Lan? Even the Emperor dotes on her.
