Your daily hard work is something I envy a lot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Empress hinted, “However, for His Majesty’s sake, you must take care of your health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanlan nodded and replied, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though far away, Zhan Lan couldn’t hear the conversation between the two, she could still feel the enmity the concubines had towards Wanlan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that Noble Lady Lan was not welcomed in the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at?” Chu Yin, who was drinking wine, looked at Zhan Lan with slightly flushed cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan held Chu Yin’s hand, preventing her from grabbing the wine jug, “You, don’t drink too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, Chu Yin said, “You don’t understand, this slightly tipsy feeling helps one forget many troubles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan laughed, “What troubles could you possibly have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yin’s gaze fell briefly on Zhan Hui before quickly withdrawing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did Zhan Peng become so close to Zhan Hui?” Chu Yin asked Zhan Lan with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan looked over and saw Zhan Peng sitting next to Zhan Hui, toasting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even clinked their cups together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan withdrew her gaze and warned, “Don’t wander around later, and don’t drink too much; it’s not good to lose your composure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! You’re more and more like my mother now!” Chu Yin put down her wine cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three rounds of drinks, the Empress announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the viewing platform to enjoy the fireworks display.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Everyone stood up and made their way to the viewing platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yin, hearing the word ‘fireworks’, had already run off and was out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan was not in a hurry, waiting until everyone had left before she slowly got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking slowly behind Noble Lady Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sky had darkened, Zhan Lan, following Noble Lady Lan alone, did not attract anyone else’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noble Lady Lan’s personal maid, Qiuju, looked back at Zhan Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped and asked, “May I know if there is something you need from following our Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-05T23:35:01.977Z",1,"novelbin.me","65e3710cb95233b0478f528dbc4c6d67d474bf2eb52e8f7e2338435caed62670","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-58","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-56",751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-cover.jpg"]
