"Just say what you want, you and I, uncle and nephew, why do you need to beat around the bush like this?" The First Madam said with a smile.

Lan Ran's eyes lit up, "Then Aunt, can you let me be your concubine?"

"This …" First Madam frowned, but no one saw the happiness that flashed past his eyes, "I am afraid that Master will not agree to this matter, after all, that girl has been very close to the Regent King."

Lan Rong's face sank. "Could it be that she really wants to fight with her cousin for the position of an imperial concubine?" If it was, she should have planned it earlier. If she has an engagement with her nephew, she really won't have a chance. "

First Madam's eyes lit up, and his expression darkened again as he said, "No way, her reputation is so bad, even if she's a concubine, she can't be part of the Lan family."

"Isn't that something my aunt purposely made up? Actually, Aunt should know what kind of person she is. " Since he was born in a big family, even if he didn't ask about the details, he knew that the dirty things in the backyard were just like those in the Orchid Sky Realm. Although he wandered around the fireworks area, he wasn't an idiot, so how could he not see the truth of these things?

"You …" First Madam's face was ashen, "We still have to discuss this with the old master, you should go back first and wait."

"Alright, your nephew thanks aunt first." Lan Rong nodded and left the Hibiscus Courtyard satisfied.

Early morning on the next day, Yun Ruoleng drew a picture of the Guan Yin sitting lotus, one stroke at a time. Since Jun Qingshang had made such a request, she wanted to see how good his eyesight was.

It was just that this Guan Yin sitting lotus picture was extremely difficult to draw. Yun Ruoleng had drawn for the entire afternoon and wasted countless pieces of paper, but in the end, he still could not get a single piece of paper that he was satisfied with.

Yun Ruoleng scratched his head in annoyance, and muttered: "Do you really want me to go to the temple to find inspiration?"

"Miss, what's wrong? What are you doing in the temple? " Peach Blossom uncertainly put down the teacup in her hands, while cleaning up Yun Ruoleng's messy table, she said, "Actually you don't have to go to the temple, there's a statue of Guan Yin sitting on the lotus in the old lady's buddhist hall."

Yun Ruoleng frowned, and rejected it, "No, the Old Madam has never liked me, and would probably be unwilling to lend it to me."

"But Miss still has to pay her respects to the madame!" Peach Red paused for a moment, then looked at Yun Ruoleng and reminded him, "The old mistress likes peace and quiet, so it will be fine to let the ladies, young masters and young mistresses in each courtyard go greet her once a month. Since the end of the month is near, the young miss should indeed prepare to pay respects."

There was such a troublesome matter... There were many ancient rules here.

Yun Ruoleng sighed and said helplessly: "Alright, alright, alright. Then you should prepare yourself.

"Then what is Miss planning to send me?" Peach Blossom explained with a smile, "Since Miss wants to go, you have to borrow the buddhist hall. Otherwise, wouldn't all your work be in vain?"

After Yun Ruoleng heard this, he felt that Peach Blossom's words made sense. Although he was not very interested in the old lady, for his own purposes, he had to bear the humiliation once!

"I remember that not long ago, I brought back a piece of warm jade. It seemed to be a Buddha on it, bring it over for me to take a look." Yun Ruoleng thoughtfully nodded his chin. He just wanted to give her something good. This old lady would probably like it.

"Isn't that thing a bit expensive?" Peach Blossom pursed her lips, hesitating, "Miss, even though our yard is rich, only we know. If we take out the warm jade, how will we explain it?"

Yun Ruoleng glanced at her: "You seem to be thinking too much. In a situation like this, we don't need to explain. "

"Huh?" Tao Hong looked at Yun Ruoleng in shock.

"Go." Yun Ruoleng nodded her head firmly. She was not some fool, so she would naturally not reveal her wealth. Of course, at this time, the Regent King was also an extremely useful shield.

Yun Ruoleng clasped his hands together and silently apologized in his heart: I'm sorry! Your Highness, we'll have to use your name again this time.

As for Jun Qingshang who was sitting in his study writing, he suddenly sneezed.

"Master has caught a cold?" Seeing that, An Ying turned around and ran out, "This subordinate will invite the imperial physician over to take a look."

"Halt!" Jun Qingshang said coldly with a composed face, "What are you making such a fuss about? "Come here, continue your horse stance."

"But …" The moment An Ying opened his mouth, he was scared stiff by Jun Qingshang's sharp eyes, and could only continue to receive his punishment bitterly.

Yun Ruoleng decided to pay a huge price to pay Old Madam Yun and give her a piece of jade that was worth a thousand gold.

"This was sent by His Majesty the Regent. His granddaughter thought that grandma was wholeheartedly looking for Buddha, so she took it. Although it wasn't worth much, it was still a gift from her granddaughter. I hope grandma doesn't dislike it." Yun Ruoleng did as he said, he raised his hand and took the piece of jade out.

Yesterday, Peach Blossom reluctantly pulled the box, letting Yun Ruoleng think of another method, which Yun Ruoleng rejected without thinking.

"This quality is a good piece of jade." Old Madam Yun looked at Yun Ruoleng, as if she thought that she should have given her the good stuff, "Since it's my intentions, then I, as her grandmother, will accept it.

"…" Truly stingy, you don't even know how to reciprocate etiquette?

Yun Ruoleng smiled slightly: "Is Grandmother going to pay respects to Buddha? Why not take your granddaughter with you? "My granddaughter has been thinking of paying her respects to Bodhisattva for the past few days."

"Hmm?" The old mistress' wrinkled forehead was slightly raised, unable to believe her ears. "You're going to pay respects to the Buddha?"

Yun Ruoleng's eyes were shining, looking very hopeful, as he nodded.

The old lady frowned slightly, looking at Yun Ruoleng dressed in light green, with no gold or silver jewelry on him, she did not say much, and only said, "Then let's go together."

Yun Ruoleng thought that she would make things difficult for him, since Peach Blossom said that this old lady really didn't like him before.

In the buddhist hall, Yun Ruoleng saw the Guan Yin sitting lotus picture as he wished it to be. When he returned to his own courtyard, he was puzzled. The old lady seemed to treat her differently from the rumors.

However, because he had caught onto a trace of inspiration from the old lady, Yun Ruoleng quickly drew on the paper. Not long after, a living picture of the Guan Yin sitting lotus appeared on the paper, with a few simple words, he called the Peach Blossom: "Change my clothes, I want to go to Regent’s Mansion."

"Go, go to the Regent’s Mansion?" Peach Blossom's jaw dropped. Didn't her young lady reject the Regent?

"Yes." If we are to send the goods to someone else, I will not be at ease. "
