Chapter 40 Conspiracy

However, the next day, Liu Ran was stopped in front of the door of the Muchun residence early in the morning. He could already guess that Ruolan was putting on airs. Liu Ran asked others, so he had to put up with his anger.

"Your Zhaoxun and I made an appointment yesterday. Why didn't you go in and inform me and block me from the door?" Liu Ran did not speak rudely, but kept smiling.

The person she talked to was the dowry maid that Ruolan brought into the palace. The maid also saw the world. She took a step back unhurriedly and politely replied, "Liu Liangyuan's anger. It's not that the maidservant didn't go in to inform, but that the prince ordered her not to sleep last night, so this morning Don't disturb anything."

"Real?" Liu Ran's smile deepened. She waved her sleeves sideways and continued, "I'll wait here to see when your family will get up."

After saying that, Liu Ran no longer paid attention to the maid. She closed her eyes slightly and held a bridge pier in front of the late spring until the sun shone down and made the originally deposited white golden. Liu Ran slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sky. His hands under his skirt were squeezed a little tighter.

With a "squeak", Liu Ran turned around and saw an internal prisoner walking over and bowing, "Liu Liangyuan, please."

Liu Ran followed the inner prison and walked in. As soon as she took a step, there was a feeling of soreness under her feet. She had been standing outside the late spring for more than an hour.

Before I got into the house, I heard a sound of fire. Liu Ran stopped, and the internal supervisor did not urge her, so he stood with her at the door.

"Gun your life." This voice is clearly the previous maid, and the voice at this moment is full of panic and panic.

"Well, Liangyuan came here, how dare you not inform me and let Liangyuan stand outside my late spring house for so long. How many heads do you have?"

Ruolan changed her usual gentleness and scolded fiercely.

"Zhao Xun, I know what's wrong, I know what's wrong." The maid's voice was low, and the ups and downs were mixed with the sound of hard objects colliding with hard objects. It seemed that the maid was kowtowed and plead guilty.

"Although I brought you into the palace, you can't be so ignorant of the rules. I won't protect you this time. Go down and get punished."

As soon as the words fell, he watched the two maids drag the maid out. The maid's forehead was already red and swollen. Liu Ran originally thought it was a play, but looking at the maid's struggling figure, she couldn't bear to watch it any more and had to step in.

The house is in a mess, and a bright person can know at a glance that it has just caused a fire.

"Lan Zhaoxun doesn't have to be so angry. Since it's the prince's order, it doesn't matter if Liu Ran and so on." Liu Ran saw that Ruolan had not changed her clothes, her face was very pale, her hair spread out and made her haggard, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, which was indeed the appearance of just waking up.

This look made Liu Ran's heart sour and intertwined. Did His Royal Highness make her tired like this?

Then she covered up this embarrassing mood, isn't it easier to achieve her goal?

"Okay, all retreat."

Seeing that the palace people went out, Ruolan stepped down. Liu Ran inadvertently stepped on it. ** was full of folds, and there were some traces that could be seen at a glance. Liu Ran lowered his eyes to concentrate himself.

"There is no outsider here. If you have something to say, you can say it directly."

Ruolan quietly looked at Liu Ran's reaction and poured a cup of tea and drank it.

"It seems that your sister is very favored by Your Highness, but has your sister ever planned for your future?" Liu Ran did not turn around, and just stood at the door, which had exhausted her patience.

Ruolan smiled, and her eyes fell again and again, as if she didn't agree.

"What's the plan my sister said?" It took a long time for Ruolan to ask.

"Princess." Speaking these three words concisely, Liu Ran became annoyed. Today, he was repeatedly suppressed by Ruolan, and he could even say that he had no advantage.

Ruolan got up and stood face to face with Liu Ran. She squeezed her red lips: "What do you want?"

"Don't worry, sister. I don't have any intention for the position of the crown princess, but you are unwilling for your sister. Sister, you don't have to lower your voice, and your appearance is also rare. More importantly, Your Highness favors you more than her, which is my sister's advantage."

Liu Ran spit out the well-made words, but Ruolan still looked indifferent, which made Liu Ran figure out.

"My sister is right, but what does it have to do with me?"

"This..."

Before Liu Ran said anything, Ruolan reached out and put her hair together to interrupt her: "What does it have to do with my sister?"

Liu Ran can't continue with this question. It is normal for women in the palace to form alliances by interests, but Lan Zhaoxun seems to be inefficient.

"I can help you."

"Help me? Humph, my sister is really funny. According to what my sister said, I have everything. What else can you do for me? Ruolan blinked gently, making people unable to see what was seen in her eyes.

"My father." Liu Ran didn't find that she had miscalculated a move until now. She miscalculated Ruolan and said something wrong.

Ruolan looked at Liu Ran for a moment: "Can a general guard the border manage the affairs of the palace? Sister, you don't have to say something nonsense to prevaricate me. Then, to talk about the background, how is my uncle better than your father?

I never thought that one day I would get to this point, and even words would be difficult to continue. On the contrary, I would clean up my advantages. Like a hard object stuck in his throat, Liu Ran could no longer say a word.

"Why don't you ask Wu Liangdi to find me?" Ruolan sat in front of the dresser and looked at another figure in the bronze mirror and asked.

Liu Ran has lost his confidence and said falsely: "You have your Highness's favor, which is the biggest advantage."

"hehe." Ruolan suddenly laughed and nods: "Okay, since my sister wants to help me, I'm in the same boat as my sister."

"If you want to work in the palace, you must have someone to take care of you. Is this person your sister?" This is a question. Liu Ran knows what Ruolan means. From now on, she will be one of Ruolan's subordinates and send her to the door by herself.

"Yes, I'm willing to share my sister's worries."

"Well, all I have to do is to hold Your Highness's love in the palm of my hand. For the rest, I will bother my sister. One day, my sister will become the crown princess. Let alone talk about it, I will try my best to protect my sister."

In this way, the woman in the late spring reached a common alliance between the two.

On the other side, Shen Sirong took Hanxiang to the temple to pay homage. It snowed all the way, and it was already dark when he arrived at the temple. She got out of the carriage and looked at the guards who followed her all the way. These guards were selected from the imperial army, but it was really hard to walk in the snow along the way. Several young soldiers unconsciously frowned slightly.

"Welcome to the Crown Princess." As soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, I saw an ordinary-dressed man come out with the people in the temple to greet him.

The ordinaryly dressed man is the little prince of Changli. Xiao Hao, the emperor's own brother, is Xiao Yuanqi's uncle and is accompanied by him. In his early years, he left home because of difficulties. Later, he was invited to stay in this temple, so he has never been banned.

"I've met my uncle." Shen Sirong replied.

"My early legal name was Wangchen." As soon as Shen Sirong finished speaking, the little prince reminded him in a heavier tone.

Shen Sirong smiled and replied calmly, "It's Sirong who doesn't understand the rules. He forgot that Uncle Huang is a person outside the world and has seen Master Wangchen."

Although he is still vulgar, the emperor's temperament is still detached, so Shen Sirong also calls him his old name. Sure enough, listening to this call, there were fine lines in the corners of his eyes.

After a greeting, Shen Sirong bowed to Xiao Hao again and said, "Please arrange for these soldiers to rest first. Everyone has worked hard all the way."

Shen Sirong's words warmed the 300 forbidden soldiers who followed her, and increased their recognition of this future mother.

Blessing is divided into three days. The first day is to bathe and fast, the second day is to recite the scriptures with Xiao Hao, and the third day is the ceremony to worship the ancestors. Shen Sirong only brought Hanxiang, a maid of honor on this trip, but Xiao Hao, for some reason, asked Hanxiang to go to the back hall of the temple to extract Buddhist scriptures from the first day, and he could not see Hanxiang for several days.

This is the first time that Shen Sirong participated in such a grand blessing ceremony as a member of the royal family, so she became more and more careful and dared not slack off at all. Finally, on the third day, she wore a colorful dress with phoenix patterns. Under the guidance of Xiao Hao, she stepped on the stairs of the temple step by step and recited the scriptures. When she got on an upward tilted platform, Xiao Hao stopped following her.

Today, Xiao Hao was wearing Taichang's court uniform. Shen Sirong turned around and made a family salute to him, and he returned a royal and minister's gift as Taichang.

Three steps and nine steps of worship, Shen Sirong went to the highest place of the temple, while the cold fragrance burned the scriptures copied these days in front of the hall.

Standing alone at the highest place, he worshipped the sacrifices on the altar. Shen Sirong lit a stick of incense in the center and said, "Changli's ancestors are blessed, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the weather is smooth. And this year is coming, and I would like to express my gratitude to my ancestors. I only wish Changli prosperity. Long live my emperor. After saying that, he knelt down to the altar and sprinkled a pot of wine.

The people under the stage also shouted three times: "May I be rich and strong. Long live my emperor.

After three sounds, Shen Sirong seemed to be able to hear the voice that had just sounded in her ear. At this moment, she had a new understanding. How firmly believed that the Changli Congress would have been prosperous for generations, and the people would always have enough to eat and clothing.

The indifference on her face accumulated all year round was broken by a bright smile. Long live my emperor.

After lunch, Shen Sirong and his party were going back to the palace. Before leaving, she was called by Xiao Hao on the back mountain of the temple.
