Chu Qianli suddenly spoke to stop Lan Fan from entering, and everyone was confused.
Prince Yu sneered, "Miss Chu is unwilling to let Mr. Lan in at this moment, is she afraid he will verify her authenticity?"
"Prince Yu worries too much. I just remembered that Lingjiu Hall has a rule: one cannot wear unclean clothes."
Chu Qianli waved her hand, and Xiao Shunzi immediately brought the clothes over.
Before, she didn't know why these clothes were prepared, but now, Xiao Shunzi finally understood.
Miss Chu was truly the smartest woman he had ever seen!
"Xiao Shunzi, order people to set up a bathing curtain in front of the hall and serve Mr. Lan with a bath and change of clothes."
"Miss Chu!" Prince Yu was furious. "It was through my painstaking efforts that I invited Mr. Lan to be here today. If you disrespect Mr. Lan, I..."
"Prince Yu worries too much again!"
Chu Qianli still smiled faintly, her lips curved in an indescribably beautiful way.
"The esteemed expert of the Lan clan is peerlessly pure. However, Prince Yu did not lead Mr. Lan onto a carpet today, thus dirtying Mr. Lan's feet."
"Although Mr. Lan is only the Hall Master, Prince Yu should know that the Hall Master in Lingjiu Hall is second only to the Grand Tutor, holding a position above ten thousand people and below one, and is also of noble status."
Prince Yu was, for a moment, speechless.
Chu Qianli added, "Since Prince Yu has forgotten the etiquette, I shall do it on his behalf."
Xiao Shunzi was already holding the clothes and had ordered people to set up the bathing curtain.
Although Lan Fan was outside, with his cultivation, he had already heard the conversation in the hall clearly.
The fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, wishing he could tear the speaking girl inside to pieces.
To make him the Hall Master, what right did she have?
He came to be the Grand Tutor!
Moreover, this so-called Hall Master position was unheard of before; it was simply made up to fool him!
Lan Fan had long wanted to leave.
But if he didn't go in today, he wouldn't be able to expose the true face of the fake princess.
He absolutely did not believe that the person he had been searching for so long without success would suddenly appear.
It must be the Emperor's scheme!
He had to go in and expose her himself.
But if he went in...
"Mr. Lan, the bathing curtain has been set up. May this servant serve Mr. Lan with a bath and change of clothes?" Xiao Shunzi said with a smile.
Prince Yu's forehead veins were bulging with anger. "Xiao Shunzi! How can your hands touch the honorable body of the Master?"
Xiao Shunzi's expression immediately darkened, and he also became displeased.
"Does Prince Yu mean that Mr. Lan is more honorable than the Emperor? The Emperor also has servants attend to him during his baths!"
"You..." Prince Yu was instantly rendered speechless.
This damned servant!
These damned people!
If he wore these clothes, he would be agreeing to the Emperor's bestowed title in front of all the officials and become this so-called Hall Master!
But if he didn't wear them, he wouldn't be able to enter today and expose this woman's false face!
Lan Fan looked at Prince Yu, who was frowning and also hesitating.
Should he accept the Emperor's bestowed title and become the Hall Master first, or stick to the original plan?
But with this fake princess appearing now, the original plan might not work.
If she wasn't exposed, she could represent the Emperor and go to Baijing Village, and the responsibility of presiding over the ceremony would not fall to Prince Yu!
Truly, a damned dilemma!
"Alright, I shall bathe and change my clothes to meet this Princess Royal."
Lan Fan calmed himself and finally stepped into the bathing curtain.
Xiao Shunzi immediately smiled broadly and respectfully said, "This servant will serve the Hall Master with a bath and change of clothes!"
