"What? Xia Qiao will become Prince Lan Zihao's concubine?" Duan Shuchun asked in surprise. "I witnessed how Prince Lan Zihao announced that he would be bringing someone into the palace as his concubine, but are you sure that it's Xia Qiao that he wants to take as his concubine?"
It was obvious that Duan Shuchun was taken aback, but Yi Xue just stared at the woman lazily instead of immediately giving further explanations on the matter.
"I also know that the Emperor even suddenly came to Chang City because of the rumors about how Prince Lan Zihao would take a girl as his concubine, but I didn't know that girl was Xia Qiao!" When she did not get a verbal response from the younger woman, Duan Shuchun continued to voice her disbelief, and she even raised her voice slightly when she indeed couldn't believe the information she had just heard from Yi Xue.
