Lang Xuan believes this rumor is probably true.
If Zhao Yingzhu hadn't received Yuwen Duo's help, could an empress have broken through the encirclement and ascended the throne?
However, this event happened several years later in my previous life.
At that time, Yuwen Duo was more mature and more like a real man.
Now... it can't be that bad, can it?
He was only fourteen years old.
However, thinking about what he said last night that he was ready, Lang Xuan felt a dull ache in her heart.
He was ready, but then Zhao Yingzhu took it from him for the first time?
She wasn't really jealous.
Yes, she just felt that Zhao Yingzhu wasn't good enough for him.
Having affairs with so many men, how could she possibly "defile" the one she loves?
no.
If that's the case, she might as well have just shamelessly said last night, "She's capable!"
Thinking about this, Lang Xuan became restless.
She didn't think Yuwen Duo had any problem, but after all, he was too naive when it came to relationships between men and women.
It's not uncommon for someone to be seduced by a bad woman and lose control.
Yuwen Duo, you can have women if you want, but--
But we need to find someone else... If all else fails, Lang Xuan would be fine too! She's better than that Zhao Yingzhu who's been with countless men.
Seeing Lang Xuan blush, Yanran burst into laughter. "Sister-in-law, you're so funny. Why are you blushing when I said Zhao Yingzhu has many male lovers?"
Does my sister-in-law also harbor a dream of having two women on her arms?
Haha, that'll be fun! Let's see how our eldest brother handles this.
Lang Xuan: No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
I'm afraid she'll try to seduce your brother.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to go see Zhao Yingzhu?"
Lang Xuan nodded as if possessed.
Yuwen Duo dotes on Yanran. Even if he were discovered, he probably wouldn't retaliate severely for Yanran's sake.
Yanran: Finally, I have my sister-in-law as a shield! Hahaha, I'm so clever.
Yanran led Lang Xuan to the study in the front yard with practiced ease.
Zhao Qing, who was at the door, saw this and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"I'll go listen," Yanran said softly. "My sister-in-law is worried; she's afraid my brother won't be able to control himself."
Lang Xuan's face instantly turned bright red.
Yanran actually saw through her thoughts!
Yanran: Nonsense. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Zhao Qing glanced at Lang Xuan, a troubled expression on his face.
It's true that the prince dotes on the princess, but he certainly wouldn't indulge her at a time like this.
However, the Princess Consort... is a bit of a problem.
"Princess," Zhao Qing thought for a moment, then honestly replied, "The Prince is not here."
No sooner had he finished speaking than, as if to slap him in the face, came a woman's moans from inside the room, sounding like suppressed pain, yet also like unspeakable pleasure.
Given Yanran's upbringing under her Eighth Master's various influences, coupled with her pragmatic approach, her experience of testing theories in practice, and her eavesdropping on countless private conversations, it's clear that something indescribable is happening inside.
But who is it?
It's definitely not her brother, she's absolutely certain.
Even if she didn't have a sister-in-law now, her brother would never like a woman with so many male lovers.
But how should I explain this to my sister-in-law?
The next moment, Lang Xuan unexpectedly stepped forward and forcefully pushed open the door.
No one reacted in time.
"Your Highness..." The woman inside the room was terrified and shrank into the man's arms.
The man quickly grabbed a blanket to cover himself and glared angrily out.
"Yuwen Duo, you can't, you... ah, just continue!"
Lang Xuan covered her face and turned to run outside.
Yanran peeked inside and exclaimed, "Oh, I see!"
"Do your best," she mouthed to Wei Jun, whose shoulder was exposed.
Haha, I knew it! It definitely couldn't be her older brother.
"Guards, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!" Wei Jun said angrily.
Even though his words aren't very effective, he still has to make it clear how angry he is!
Was it easy for him to sell himself for his country?
The prince was a man of impeccable morals, so he had no choice but to sacrifice himself.
Not only did no one appreciate it, but it almost scared him so much that he could no longer be a man.
Zhao Yingzhu, lying on the couch, reached out and hooked her arm around Wei Jun's neck. "Your Highness, forget it. It's not worth wasting your good mood on those people."
She didn't care at all; there were guards outside.
Yanran silently gave her a thumbs up.
Another day, I can introduce Qu Hua Qu Hua, so she can develop a thicker skin and stop caring about the messy affairs of the Prince of Liaodong's Residence. Wouldn't it be better to find a few more male lovers to enjoy herself?
Lang Xuan ran all the way back to her room.
Yanran followed her back with a grin. "Sister-in-law, did you misunderstand just now and think that was my brother inside?"
Lang Xuan: I want to kill Wei Jun even more now.
She thought she vaguely saw Wei Jun's back just now... Her eyes were playing tricks on her.
You're jealous!
"I didn't," Lang Xuan denied categorically.
She wasn't jealous; she simply wanted to protect Yuwen Duo's virginity.
He can't!
It's not something he can just say he can do; he's only fourteen.
Besides, with the Empress present, would she agree?
They certainly wouldn't want to either.
So there's nothing wrong with her doing that.
"That's good." Yanran smiled. "It must have been Wei Jun who came up with this terrible idea. He's such a womanizer... But my brother is different. My father wasn't interested in women, and my brother takes after him."
"Your Majesty the Empress is of unparalleled beauty." Lang Xuan lowered her head.
She had seen the Empress, who, even though she was no longer young, was still so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look directly at her.
Yanran is beautiful, with a grand, free, and passionate beauty. She is beautiful without being pretentious, which makes her beauty even more unattainable.
In comparison, she was too ordinary.
"You're wrong. Xiu'er said that a woman's beauty is not an excuse for a man's infidelity. There's only what he wants and what he doesn't want; there's no such thing as nonsense."
Her father, her brother, Cui Xiaoqiu —they're all inherently good.
Lang Xuan agreed with Yanran.
Yuwen Duo is of high quality, and I won't accept any arguments against it.
But... if he knew what she did today, wouldn't he be angry?
As the princess consort, she hadn't done anything since entering the household, yet she already knew how to be jealous and almost ruined everything...
It must be admitted that Wei Xuan was simply following orders to indulge in pleasure.
On the contrary, it was she... who lacked common sense, and in her jealousy, she did something incredibly stupid!
"Sister-in-law, what did we do today?" Yanran asked mischievously.
Lang Xuan was stunned, puzzled.
"I've been introducing you to my family, and we've both stayed put, not even leaving the room, right?"
Lang Xuan:!!!
Yuwen Duo isn't stupid.
"Don't worry, Zhao Qing won't dare to say anything reckless." Yanran raised an eyebrow smugly. "He likes Yuanyang, hehe; he's even counting on me to speak up for him!"
"But Wei Jun..."
"Wei Jun," Yanran said thoughtfully, stroking her chin, "It's alright, leave it to me. I'll go and shut him up in a bit."
"What are Wei Jun's weaknesses?" Lang Xuan asked calmly, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip on her skirt under the table.
Although Wei Jun seems to be useful right now, she hasn't forgotten her original intentions.
Just thinking about how Wei Jun led a pack of wolves to injure Yuwen Duo like that makes it impossible for this hatred to be resolved!
