Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 459 Seduction

Luanyi Hall.

Imperial Concubine Yi, Meng Wu Yue, was talking to the Seventh Prince's wife while holding her hand. She was smiling and praising her daughter-in-law's intelligence and propriety. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking happily and the room was full of warmth.

Suddenly, a palace maid hurried in and reported: "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Yi, Imperial Concubine Xian is here."

Imperial Concubine Yi, Meng Wu Yue, was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

Concubine Xian's fifth prince Qin Mingzhang, her seventh prince Qin Mingrui, and Concubine Min's eighth prince Qin Mingyan are about to travel south. Why is Fu Mengli not preparing in Yutang Palace and giving them instructions, but instead coming to her Luanyi Palace?

"Why did Sister Imperial Concubine Yi ask me to come here?"

The virtuous concubine Fu Mengli's brows were like accumulated frost and snow, and she looked at the noble concubine Meng Wuyue with a little dissatisfaction.

The palace servant who delivered the message left only one sentence and left in a hurry.

She stayed well in Yutang Palace every day and had arranged today's small family dinner. Why didn't Concubine Yi say goodbye to the departing Seventh Prince properly, but suddenly asked someone to call her to Luanyi Palace?

Weird.

"May the Empress Xianfei live in peace and happiness."

The Seventh Prince and his wife bowed to the virtuous concubine Fu Mengli.

"My name is Wang Youning, and I'm honored to meet the Empress Xianfei." The Seventh Prince's wife, Wang Youning, secretly glanced at the expression of Concubine Yi. After the couple paid their respects, she paid her respects to the Empress Xianfei alone.

Xianfei Fu Mengli looked at the Seventh Prince's wife and nodded gently, "Please stand up quickly."

"The Seventh Prince's wife is extremely beautiful, with picturesque features, fair skin and delicate bones. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman." Fu Mengli praised.

"The Seventh Prince and his wife standing side by side really look like a pair of beautiful women. Could it be that Sister Noble Concubine Yi asked me to come here just to show off your good daughter-in-law to me?"

Imperial Concubine Yi Meng Wu Yue frowned slightly. She waved at the Seventh Prince Qin Mingrui and his wife Wang Youning, signaling them to leave.

After the Seventh Prince and his wife received the news from their mother, they immediately found an excuse to bow and leave.

"Which palace maid or eunuch went to look for you and brought you here? I didn't send anyone to call you."

There was a hint of hesitation in Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue's eyes.

Maybe someone has used some evil tricks to target her again.

"Yes..." Concubine Fu Mengli hesitated for a moment.

The man's face was too ordinary and she couldn't remember it.

Fu Mengli turned her head and asked Meihua, the palace maid beside her: "Meihua, do you remember who it is?"

"I didn't see that person's face. When I came out, I only saw her back as she hurried away." Meihua replied with a frown.

"Well, if anyone wants to plot against me while my son is about to go on a long journey, I'll be waiting." Fu Mengli said coldly.

"My small family banquet is about to begin, so I won't keep my sister, Concubine Xian,." Concubine Yi Meng Wu Yue nodded.

Fu Mengli bowed immediately and said, "Then I will take my leave. Let's calculate the time. When I return to Yutang Palace, Mingzhang should be here too."

"Take care, sister."

Concubine Yi Meng Wu Yue looked at Fu Mengli's back and fell into deep thought.

What's the plan behind calling Concubine Xian to her Luanyi Palace at this moment?

.................................................. .................................................. ......

On the eve of their journey south, the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang, the seventh prince Qin Mingrui, and the eighth prince Qin Mingyan were allowed to stay in the palace for a day, reunite with their mothers and say goodbye, and set off south the next day.

After the heirs of the royal family came of age, they had the opportunity to visit their parents in the palace during important festivals such as the emperor's birthday and New Year celebrations. Princesses would stay in their mother's palace, while the princes would live with their wives and children in the courtyard of the Qilin Palace where they had lived from childhood to adulthood before leaving the palace.

Soon after the marriage of the sixth, seventh, and eighth princes, the thirteenth prince drowned. During the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet, the newlywed princes' wives could have followed their husbands into the palace to get familiar with the place where the princes grew up and enhance their relationship with their spouses, but they were unable to do so.

Therefore, when entering the palace this time, the seventh prince Qin Mingrui and the eighth prince Qin Mingyan both brought their newlywed wives with them, but the fifth prince did not bring his wife with him, but entered the palace alone.

After the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang entered the palace, he went straight to the Yutang Palace.

The summer plum blossoms of May and June have already withered. The white plum blossoms that Fu Mengli had people transplant and the green plum blossoms that His Majesty named the Plum Fairy will not bloom until December. In September, there are only bare branches of the plum trees in the Jade Hall.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince!"

Concubine Lan Alanruo placed one hand lightly on her belly, which had not yet shown any sign of pregnancy, and with the other hand she held a freshly picked plum branch and sniffed it. Her three thousand black hair was loosely tied up with a mutton-fat jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair hung on both sides of her cheeks, her eyes full of affection.

She was wearing a soft silver-red silk dress, which fitted her exquisite figure as softly as water. The neckline was slightly open, revealing her skin as white as jade, as white as first snow, charming and attractive.

The texture of the soft smoke silk material is soft and delicate, like smoke and fog. The silver-red color is not as strong and eye-catching as other fabrics, but instead reveals a hazy and warm beauty.

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang turned his head and glanced over in surprise, then straightened his body slightly. "Lan..." He swallowed the word "concubine" that was about to come out of his mouth, "May Concubine Lan live long and well."

"Empress Lan, instead of staying in your own palace to take good care of your pregnancy, is walking around in Yutang Palace at will. Aren't you afraid of causing any disturbance?" Qin Mingzhang raised his eyebrows, with a look of wanton frivolity in his eyes.

"The palace maids and eunuchs in Wenming Palace were all taken to the Palace Administration Department and the Palace Court. His Majesty ordered me to stay with Consort Xian to take care of the baby. I stayed in Huajing Pavilion every day, missing Thirteenth Prince. I couldn't bear the pain in my heart. So I followed the advice of the imperial physician and went out more often. I never thought that I would run into His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince in the Jade Hall of the harem."

"Humph." The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang sneered, "It's not good to wear such bright colors while missing your recently deceased thirteenth brother, right?"

Concubine Lan secretly said that his appearance in the harem was inappropriate.

But not long after her own son, the Thirteenth Prince, died, her mother, Concubine Lan Alanruo, wore a red dress - it was out of place.

"I was born in a small country in the Western Regions. When I came to the Celestial Empire, I always did such inappropriate, ridiculous, and even shameful things, which polluted the Fifth Prince's five senses. It's my fault, not mine."

Alanruo held the plum branch, her body trembling slightly.

"Do the dead plum branches have fragrance? Concubine Lan is so hypocritical that it really makes my Highness..." The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang said mercilessly.

"I can't help but despise you from the bottom of my heart."

"The plum branches have no fragrance, but my heart contains..." Alanruo's eyes were tender and charming, with a hook in them.

"Empress Lan was so lonely and unbearable due to the cold treatment from our father that she seduced me?" The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang laughed wantonly, his eyes full of amusement.
