Chapter 6: Court

held by the sudden power, Lan Ruoyan wanted to pull back at the first time, but at present, this place is not a place where he can do whatever he wants. I feel that the hand holding me is powerful, and the palm is a little rough, like a martial arts practitioner. Her slender fingers wrapped her hand completely in the palm of her hand, and two words "safety" suddenly appeared in her mind. She was shocked by her feelings, shook her head and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Well... My family don't have to be polite, Chen'er. The one next to you is your princess, the daughter of General Lan. She has just married into the royal family. Some palace rules and etiquette are not familiar with human affairs. In a few days, I will ask my mother to go to the house to teach the princess well. Now raise my head to let the mourning family have a good look." The voice is not slow, which makes people dare not slack off at all. The women in the palace are not simple, especially those who stand in the lord of the harem. Lan Ruoyan intuitively felt that the sound seemed to have a smile, but she couldn't help but hide it.

Lan Ruoyan listened to this voice and turned out to have some worry and fear that it had already been lost to the Pacific Ocean. Now all that was left was full of curiosity. What kind of woman is this, so she slowly raised her head.

A woman in her early 40s, wearing a phoenix crown and hanging beads in the morning sun, showed a delicate and perfect face shape. The bright of Piluo's clothes, the glory of the blue. Wear Jincui's jewelry and decorate the pearl to show off the body. Elegant, dignified and elegant. There is a smile in his eyes, but the whirlpool at the bottom of his eyes is unpredictable, and there is always a shallow smile on his face.

"Hmm. Sure enough, you are a beauty. Your name is Lan Ruoyan, right? In the future, my family will call you Yaner..."

"Yes, thank your mother for your love."

"Queen Mother! I heard that Brother Chen will come today. I'll come to play with him. Is he coming? A voice sounded loudly.

"This wild girl is still so unruly! Speaking of which, no one will believe that you are my princess. You are still so crazy at such a big man. The Empress Dowager shook her head with a smile, as if she was used to this scene and did not scold her.

Lan Ruoyan looked at the girl who jumped in at the door. She was about the same age as Lan Xiang, and her face was smooth and shiny. Her cheeks were red because of exercise, which made her more beautiful and touching. Looking at this scene thoughtfully, this princess is really special. As the saying goes, it is the most unfortunate to be born in the royal family, but she is well protected! Fortunately, because she is a woman and has nothing to do with the throne, she is not involved in disputes and can maintain this beautiful mentality.

"Motherhood! Well, you are the royal sister-in-law, right? Brother Chen, the royal sister-in-law is so beautiful~" Xuan Yuanlin, the little princess of the Xia Qi Dynasty, rushed to Lan Ruoyan's side and took her hand. After simply saluted the empress dowager in the upper seat, she tilted her head and looked at Xuan Yuanchen and said happily.

"Lin'er, when did you come back? I couldn't come back from my big wedding. Why do I want to come back now? Xuanyuanchen smiled deeply at the corners of his mouth, and even his eyes were full of love.

"I came back to attend the royal brother's wedding, but something was delayed on the way later. But it's not too late, is it? This is not my beautiful and generous royal sister-in-law, is it?" Xuanyuanlin looked at Lan Ruoyan with a smile, as if she must see it in her eyes.

Looking at Xuanyuan Chen like this, Lan Ruoyan was surprised. After guessing that day that he wanted that high seat, he thought he didn't care about family friendship and love. He is said to be lonely. The price and blood to sit on the throne have always been cruel. He will not let himself have such a tie. Acting? Yes, this man doesn't know what love is. Perhaps everything that has been done is just a stepping stone on the road to success.

Lan Ruoyan moved her elbow and wanted to pull out her hand. She was really not used to such a close action. She tried to ease her trying to keep smiling and stiff face and said, "Yes, thank you for your love."

"Sister-in-law, you can call me Lin'er, not the princess, we are a family now. My royal brother is usually cold and unstying. You have to work hard!"

The gentle and harmless empress dowager, jumping away from the lively princess, is this a mask in front of people or is it hidden behind people? Lan Ruoyan is curious, but everything in it is not as simple as she thought, and she doesn't want to participate. Looking up at the bright blue sky outside the high wall, she thought that one day, she would be a traveler walking outside and have her own freedom.

The courtyard is a little deep, and it is a dream that can't be found. I don't know how many people's freedom have been locked and how many people's dreams have been buried. In the winding corridor, the Taihe Hall in the center of the highest power is magnificent. The wooden columns support the beam frame to form a heavy eaves-style roof. The upper eaves and buckets arch out to jump out and step on the three times, and the lower eaves are single and heavy. The whole building is majestic and magnificent, showing the supreme effect of imperial power.

Imperial power = desire is the only way to have these battles. Is this peaceful scene illusory or the world as capricious as the four seasons. All this is the beginning of all the competition.

The emperor was dressed in a luxurious yellow dragon robe, and the dragon was coiled. His appearance was somewhat similar to Xuan Yuanchen, but he was a little weak. However, the sharpness between the eyebrows shows the king's demeanor and should not be underestimated. There were a few thick piles of memorials on the table. Xuanyuan Ce buried his head in the sketch. His brush was firm, and his wholehearted attention seemed to have not noticed that someone came.

While kneeling down to say hello, Lan Ruoyan observed the highest right holder in different time and space with the afterglow of the corners of her eyes, and shouted, "Honor the emperor!"

Xuanyuan Che put down the pen in his hand and raised his head and said, "Don't be polite, get up." The voice is strong and powerful, revealing an irresistible majesty.

"The emperor's brother is so blessed that he was able to marry the beloved daughter of General Lan with the imperial edict. He must be deeply in love with Princess Chen!" The corners of his mouth evoked a trace of imperceptible sarcasm and looked at his half-brother mischievously as a winner.

The throne of his emperor is hard to come by. He hates his father's love for Xuanyuanchen and often ignores himself as the eldest son. If it hadn't been for the support of his mother's power in the court, he would have made his father afraid and played some small tricks when his father was seriously ill, then I'm afraid that he is sitting here now. Others. However, what he didn't expect was that since his father had prepared the back move and made an edict behind his back, he had today's situation, and he couldn't move Xuanyuan Chen.

Xuanyuanchen raised his eyebrows, hung a cynical face, and said with a flash of light in his eyes. "Due to the love of the previous emperor, I will definitely live up to this beauty. However, this is also thanks to the imperial brother's effort, otherwise the marriage would not have been so smooth. I would have thanked the imperial brother here!" The half-truth and half-false tone seems to be inadvertently and deliberately reminding something.

Lan Ruoyan looked at his eyes, nose and mouth, and only accompanied Xuanyuanchen to perform this scene well. He did not sweep his face or dismantle the stage. After that, it was her good day, and she didn't lose this deal. If you want her to participate, forget it. Even if she has that strength, she doesn't have that heart.

"They are all from their own family. You're welcome. What do you think, Princess Chen... huh?"

The hateful man, Lan Ruoyan slandered in his heart. It's your business how your brother likes to fight. It has nothing to do with me. What she hates most is to be used and manipulated by others. It's best not to violate the river. If you want to involve her, you must pay the price.

Lan Ruoyan raised a sneer, which was fleeting and said humbly, "What the emperor said is..." Humph, can you say no, or directly pull off the hypocritical mask and shouting, just pretending to be almost. It's ridiculous to know that he is still acting here. But these words can only disappear into her stomach after turning around her mind. She can't afford to provoke people who don't need to be provoked. She is a little powerless. No matter what life she is, she has to live such a careful life that makes her tired. Is it fate? Others believe it, but she doesn't believe it.

"In this case, on the queen's birthday next month, I will personally prepare a banquet for the queen, and the royal brother must bring the princess to join in the fun. If the princess has nothing to do in the house, she can walk around the palace more and accompany the queen. I still have government affairs to deal with, so you can leave first!"

After Xuanyuan and his wife left, Xuanyuan on the throne smiled slightly meaningfully. A good play was still waiting for his director. "Xuanyuan, with you, I can't rest assured all the time, so..." He clenched the pen in his hand, wiped it, broke it into two pieces, and locked the light of sunlight penetrating through the door.

On the carriage, Lan Ruoyan put down the curtain in her hand and reluctantly looked away from the bustling market outside the car. Restaurants and teahouses, cabinet silver buildings, stalls and pedestrians... That's life and freedom.

"Cough..." She coughed symbolically twice, and Xuanyuan Chen still closed his eyes and did not react at all. She was a little angry. Anyway, she should thank him for her strong cooperation today. What's more, she is now deliberately reminding him that he has something to say. This person is too rude.

In this room, Lan Ruoyan complained in her heart, but she didn't expect that she was Princess Chen, and everything she had just done was an obligation. In that room, Xuanyuanchen raised his eyelids. He also wanted to see what his princess wanted to say. After all, she was very cooperative today.

With keen observation, Lan Ruoyan quickly found this small point and knew that he was not sleeping, so he said to himself, "You... No, my lord, I know that I had three oral agreements with you last time, and you promised very happily. At that time, I didn't expect that there would be any troubles. What happened today gave me a good hint. In the future, if there are any unnecessary palace banquets and some banquets for princes and nobles, I don't want to go, you can find me to pretend to be sick or other excuses. If you can, you can push it. I don't want to go. Do you see? Anyway, it doesn't affect you..."

She chattered alone and was completely immersed in her own world. She didn't see Xuanyuanchen's increasingly smelly expression.
