Chapter 12: The Great Sliding
Unconsciously entered the dreamland. This dream was surprisingly similar to the last dream in the general's mansion. The warm sunshine gently fell on his side face and lowered her head. Lan Ruoyan saw that the green silk as long as her waist was like the sun in the afternoon.
"Little wind." A gentle call came from the outside, and Lan Ruoyan poked her head out to look.
The familiar figure came into her eyes, and she was a little surprised. The moment the man in the distance came sideways, she felt that the blood all over her body seemed to be frozen. It's him! NO.2! How could it be him? Even in a cyan ancient costume, he still wears the smile she is familiar with.
Then another man in white walked over and talked to NO.2. As he spoke, the man in white seemed to be aware of the peeping on this side. He turned his head, but Lan Ruoyan also immediately pulled up the window. She could feel Lan Ruoyan's nervousness. At this time, there was a soft knocking sound outside the window.
"sister, do you want to go out with me? As long as you are willing, I will take you out. You can rest assured on Dad's side. A beautiful male voice came from the window, but Lan Ruoyan did not respond.
She could feel that the girl was very nervous and understood that the man in blue was probably Lan Ruoyan's sweetheart. Wait, since Lan Ruoyan has a good-hearted person, why did she marry Xuanyuanchen again?!
The sound of cracking glass woke her up from her dream, and when she opened her eyes, she was exposed to the dazzling sunlight. Lan Xiang.
"Yes, Madam." Lan Xiang quickly responded to Lan Ruoyan's words.
"Is it dawn?" Lan Ruoyan rubbed her eyes and opened them again. She finally got used to it. She looked at Lan Xiang. There was a pile of broken porcelain pieces on the ground, which was probably the source of the sound she had just heard.
"Yes, it's almost noon now." Lan Xiang replied respectfully, but his eyes glanced at the fragments on the ground, thinking about cleaning up quickly. Lan Ruoyan soon found out about her little thought.
Smiling gently, Lan Ruoyan softened her voice and said to Lan Xiang, "Anyway, it's this hour. Don't be in a hurry to wait for me and get up."
"Yes." Lan Xiang answered happily and quickly bent down to clean up the fragments. Lan Xiang knew that her mother was the best, hehe.
Real? Am I the best? Lan Ruoyan looked down at the water marks spreading on the ground. It should be that Lan Xiang accidentally knocked over the teacup when she served morning tea.
"Madam, do you know? As soon as you left last night, the prince asked Mrs. Chun and Mrs. Lan to withdraw, and the banquet was not held. You don't know how much they envy you. This morning, the prince also came to see you. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, he didn't wake you up, and specially ordered Shaofei and those ladies not to come to say hello. Lan Xiang smiled like a fishy cat.
The row last night was originally shown to her Lan Ruoyan. She was gone, so Xuanyuanchen naturally had no need to continue. It's better to say that the "concubine" is jealous of her. However, Xuanyuanchen actually came to see her in the morning, so she would not think as naive as Lan Xiang that the man was here to "care" about herself. I guess she wants to see the awkward appearance of her failure in the fight with him.
Thinking of her dream just now, she thought that it should also be part of Lan Ruoyan's memory, so she looked at Lan Xiang and asked softly, "Lan Xiang, does my brother have a good friend?"
"Yes, Mr. Su, the young master's best friend, used to visit the general's mansion. Miss, you should have seen it, too. Lan Xiang said this and looked extremely excited, "Then Mr. Su is very handsome! As long as the maids in the house have seen him, they all like him and think that their future husband is him. Unfortunately, Mr. Su is the champion of Jinke. How can a slave like us climb up? At that time, we talked privately about Mr. Su's marriage--
"Ah!" Lan Xiang's chatter suddenly turned into a cry of pain. The second half of her sentence was not said, but Lan Ruoyan already knew what she was going to say. Mr. Su is the best match for marrying a lady... Is this Mr. Su the man in blue?
"Lan Xiang, has your hand been cut?" Lan Ruoyan looked sideways at Lan Xiang squatting on the ground. This girl is smart, but sometimes she is easy to be confused. I guess I forgot what I said just now, and I forgot that I was still picking up porcelain tiles in my hand.
"I'm going back to my mother, yes." Lan Xiang replied in frustration and thought luckily, fortunately, she had just finished her voice, otherwise if she had heard the second half of her sentence, she would not scold her to death.
"Go to the doctor to wrap it up. I want to lie down again. You can go first." Just now, she thought of a plan. And this plan must be supported by Lanxiang.
"Thank you." Lan Xiang answered very obediently. She stepped out for fear that it would disturb Lan Ruoyan.
Wait for Lan Xiang to go out and close the door. Lan Ruoyan came down from ** and walked to the wardrobe and turned over. She remembers that she has several men's clothes here. The noble women of the Xiaqi Dynasty were good at riding and shooting, but it was inconvenient for women to ride horses. Therefore, they usually have men's clothing to wear when riding.
It is said that today, the emperor and the queen are in the hunting ground, meet by chance when hunting, and then fall in love. Lan Ruoyan heard Lan Xiang say this at that time, and immediately thought of "Liang Zhu of the Xia Qi Dynasty", who would be interested in the queen of men's clothing. Does the emperor have that tendency?
Shake her head to get rid of this boring idea. What Lan Ruoyan wants now is how to hide it from everyone in the house and go out of the prince's mansion. Yes, she is leaving the prince's mansion. In these days in the prince's mansion, she really suppressed herself to the extreme. There is nothing she can do. If she wants to live an indisputable "rice worm" life, she can only swallow her anger like this.
However, it's almost time to give yourself a holiday after putting up with it for so long. Thinking of the freedom of access that had been agreed with Xuanyuanchen, she also felt less guilty. Now because of Xuanyuanchen's closeness to her last night, the "concubine party" is very angry, and she has to go out to avoid the limelight.
When Lan Ruoyan thought about everything and even thought about how to climb out of the wall of the royal palace, there was a knock on the door. She quickly lay back** and took the packed bag to the quilt.
"Mother, the prince came to see you." Lan Xiang's voice sounded outside. It's so close. Fortunately, she didn't leave just now, otherwise she wouldn't have caught it!
"Come in." Lan Ruoyan pretended to respond weakly.
Xuanyuanchen appeared as a winner, and Lan Ruoyan's eyes were slightly blind, and a sick eye greeted him to the bedside. Concubine, are you not feeling well? Xuanyuan asked painlessly.
"My concubine suffered a little cold last night. Today, I feel a little dizzy and weak all over. I can't salute the prince with limited mobility. Please forgive me." For her escape plan, Lan Ruoyan tried her best to pretend to be ill. If she is lively, maybe Xuanyuanchen will come up with some perverted way to play with her.
"Oh, that's a pity. The princess used to be arrogant and domineering, but she suddenly fell down like this today. I'm really not used to it. Xuanyuanchen's words were thorny, but Lan Ruoyan listened inexplicably. Have she ever been arrogant and domineering in the past? It was just yesterday's small arrogance, not to mention that it was nothing in her eyes.
"I don't understand what the prince said." Although Lan Ruoyan didn't care what Xuanyuanchen said, she thought that she was now a "sick" and should be weaker. So Chu Chu looked at Xuanyuan Chen pitifully and said innocently.
"Lan Xiang, step back." Xuanyuan Chen turned his head and ordered Lan Xiang.
"Yes." Lan Xiang answered cautiously and retreated and closed the door.
"Lan Ruoyan! Don't think you don't know what you did in the backyard!" Xuanyuanchen waited for Lan Xiang to withdraw and immediately changed to a look of guilt.
"I don't understand..." It's so fast to change your face! Lan Ruoyan pretended to look at Xuanyuan Chen with fear.
"What did you do to Mrs. Chun, Mrs. Lan, and my other concubines? I won't blame you. But you are not good for the pregnant concubine!" Xuanyuanchen remembered that she came back from the court today and met Shaofei. She cried and told herself that when the imperial concubine forced her to drink soup that was harmful to the fetus, she couldn't help getting angry.
He didn't expect that she was such a vicious woman! On the one hand, he pretends not to care about himself, and on the other hand, he is unfavorable to the women around him! He didn't even let go of his flesh and blood.
"When did my concubine become unfavorable to her?" Lan Ruoyan was really shouted by Xuanyuan Chen and didn't know why. She can repeatedly treat the "concubine party" politely and even avoid it. The man actually said as if she was deliberately looking for them. Is it possible that others can do something or can she control it?
Xuanyuan Chen only snorted coldly, "It is not necessary to kill people by yourself, let alone harm others. Put all your thoughts away for me! If I find out that you are doing evil again, don't blame me for ignoring General Lan's face!" After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.
I'm sick! Lan Ruoyan scolded loudly in her heart. I, a victim, was sued as a murderer by the villain first! If you want to get angry, this place is really not for people! At least it's not for people like her. If she wants to go out, she must go out! She rolled wildly.
When her emotions were almost vented, Lan Ruoyan sat up and began to sort out her thoughts. In order to be foolproof, she wanted to sneak out of the palace in the dark wind at night!
At this time, Lan Xiang thought that the master had changed, so she came in with water. As soon as she saw Lan Ruo's untidy clothes, she first turned around and blushed, "Mother."
The shy call made Lan Ruoyan strange, but she suddenly realized when she saw Lan Xiang's red face. This girl hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, and her idea is complicated enough.
"I don't want to leave the room today, and I don't want to see anyone. The food is delivered to the room. Lan Xiang, if Shaofei and other ladies come to say good to me, just say that I'm in good health and should have a good rest." Lan Ruoyan calmly ordered Lan Xiang, who thought she was really uncomfortable and looked at her with a worried face.
"Yes, the maidservant will go down and order." Lanxiang retreated.
... At night, a dark shadow sneaked out of Lanxin Pavilion, dodged the patrol guards, rushed to the back garden, and climbed out of the royal palace at the height of the rockery. Well, the shadow is Lan Ruoyan - the hostess who slipped out of her home.
