The Legitimate Daughter of the Prosperous Medical Fragrance Will Not Marry

 Chapter 408 The hidden side

Empress Zhen Xi chatted with Fan Qingyao for a while before looking at Zhang Yilan.

"Looking at this child's daze, I'm afraid he still doesn't know. Xiao Qingyao has inherited the mantle of the Tao family's medical daughter, and has been praised by the emperor at a young age." His eyes were directed at Zhang Yilan, but what he said was Still surrounding Fan Qingyao.

Fan Qingyao quickly said, "The Queen is so complimentary."

Zhang Yilan smiled sweetly, "I have long heard that the Crown Princess is very capable, but now I am really amazed when I see her. It's a pity that my father sent me to travel outside since I was a child. If I could stay in the main city, I would definitely be able to follow her. The princess became a close friend.”

This statement is very likely to be flattering.

Fan Qingyao smiled and did not answer.

Queen Zhen Xi looked at Zhang Yilan and said, "I heard that some time ago, you accidentally saved the old lady of the Zhou family?"

Zhang Yilan quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, with a look of sincerity and fear on her face, "I didn't know the identity of the old lady of the Zhou family at that time. I thought it was just a matter of effort, but I didn't expect..."

“I didn’t expect that the old lady of the Zhou family has always been thinking about you, and even sent you to the palace.” Queen Zhenxi took over the words.

Zhang Yilan lowered his head slightly and nodded shyly.

Fan Qingyao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Empress Zhen Xi originally wanted to say something, but after noticing Fan Qingyao's expression, she stopped talking.

Bai Tu who was beside the emperor smiled and entered the door. After greeting all the masters, he lowered his head and said, "The emperor said that the banquet will be held soon. Please move to the inner hall."

 Empress Zhenxi nodded, "I understand."

After Bai Tu left, Fan Qingyao stood up first.

 “I will take my leave first.” The Empress always has to tidy up her appearance briefly before going to a banquet. Even if the Empress loves her, the rules must not be broken.

 Empress Zhen Xi just liked Fan Qingyao's measured advance and retreat, "Go ahead."

Zhang Yilan stood up and took the initiative to walk to the Queen’s side. “My daughter is traveling abroad, but she has learned a lot about hair and makeup...”

Fan Qingyao didn't hear the next words clearly, but he had already walked out of the side hall.

Of course Queen Zhen Xi would not hit Zhang Yilan in the face. She smiled and held out her arm, and Zhang Yilan helped her to the inner room.

Zhang Yilan looked at Fan Qingyao's back and sighed softly, "The Crown Princess is knowledgeable and sensible. No wonder she is loved by the Queen."

Queen Zhen Xi's expression changed, and she quickly returned to her previous graceful appearance, "It's just a joke."

Zhang Yilan was slightly surprised, "But everyone in the palace now knows that the Crown Princess is the one the Empress holds dear to her heart."

After hearing this, Lily quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Zhang Yilan.

Whether these words were intentional or not, it made Miss Qingyao feel proud of her favor.

 Fortunately, the Queen really loves Miss Qingyao from the bottom of her heart, otherwise I don’t know what kind of gap would have arisen.

Queen Zhenxi didn't seem to hear Ni Duan's words. She smiled and sat in front of the dressing table, letting Zhang Yilan put her hair up and do her makeup.

 After everything was tidied up, Lily invited Zhang Yilan out on the pretext that the Queen was changing her clothes.

“This second young lady of the Zhang family is still as good at pleasing people as ever.” Lily returned to the Queen’s side with a smile and helped her change her clothes.

Queen Zhen Xi stretched out her arms and slowly closed her eyes, "They are all official girls. They have been carefully trained since childhood. How many of them are really innocent?"

　　When she accepted Zhang Yilan as her adopted daughter, it was considered a joke.

Ever since Zhang Yilan saw Feng Ming when he entered the palace for the first time, he would come to Fengyi Palace whenever he entered the palace.

　　Speaking of visiting her as the queen, don't think that she can't see Zhang Yilan's thoughts on the prince. It's just that in her eyes, Zhang Yilan is still far from being her daughter-in-law. It was only at that time that Feng Ming was recuperating in the East Palace. In order to stabilize the crown prince's position, Queen Zhen Xi accepted Zhang Yilan as her adopted daughter.

“If the second young lady of the Zhang family really gets married to the young master of the Zhou family, it will be a great joy.” Lily prayed while adjusting the queen’s clothes.

At that time, the second young lady of the Zhang family attacked the prince fiercely. It was because of this that Zhang Zuodu's censor sent him out of the main city.

Even though we haven’t seen each other for so many years, the girl’s feelings are always crazy.

Who can guarantee that the second young lady of the Zhang family will really give up on His Highness?

Queen Zhen Xi naturally wanted Zhang Yilan to marry Zhou Renjian, which is why she took the initiative to help lobby in front of the emperor after learning that the Zhou family wanted to recommend Zhang Yilan to the palace.

Just thinking about Xiao Qingyao's expression just now...

"Lily, let Lian Xi check carefully to see what news has happened in Zhuangzi recently."

Lily didn't dare to delay, so she quickly turned around and walked out.

Fan Qingyao didn't know that there were so many unknown sides hidden behind her.

In fact, even if the Empress didn't say anything, Fan Qingyao knew that Zhang Yilan's visit to the palace must be due to the Empress.

 Otherwise, no matter how proud the Zhou family is, they would not dare to send people off to the palace blatantly.

But thinking about the scene where the Queen Empress was holding her deliberately, Fan Qingyao knew that the Queen Empress and Zhang Yilan were not as close as they seemed.

 If this is really the case...

 Mu Yan doesn’t really have no chance.

 Just don’t rush, you need to take your time.

 For Zhou Renjian to get to know Mu Yan, a suitable opportunity is always needed.

 At the main hall, most people have already walked towards the inner hall.

 When Fan Qingyao returned to the main hall, only Han Jingchen and Mu Yan were waiting there.

Seeing Fan Qingyao coming back, Han Jingchen had a lot to say, but she was worried about Mu Yan beside her, so she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb for the time being, and followed Fan Qingyao to the inner hall.

 The inner hall has already been guarded by palace attendants.

When Fan Qingyao walked in, the other princes and concubines were already sitting in their seats.

The palace people didn't know that Fan Qingyao would come with one more person. Now that he saw Mu Yan following him, he quickly added an extra chair next to the seat.

The people in the palace are also well-informed and have long known that the sixth prince and the princess are close, so Han Jingchen's seat is on the other side of Fan Qingyao.

Not long after everyone sat down, the emperor arrived belatedly surrounded by the queen and his concubines.

After the emperor sat down, he waved his hand and said, "Today is a family banquet. There is no need for so many etiquettes. Everyone, please sit down."

As the female family members present sat down, the prince and the princes sat down in order around the emperor and queen.

Concubine Yu glanced at Mu Yan sitting next to Fan Qingyao.

But before Concubine Yu could say anything, Concubine Pan De said, "It is indeed the Emperor's mercy that even Princess Qingping, who has always been the most prudent, became bold and even brought her maid to the banquet..."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something again, and quickly covered his red lips with a handkerchief, "Look at my memory, even if the current Princess Qingping has not passed the exam, she will still be called the Crown Princess."

With one word, everyone's eyes fell on Fan Qingyao.
