Chapter 19: A line in the palace

"Give it to me! Give it to me!" Several dirty children in rags were fighting for a piece of bread. A little girl watched her companions scramble there from afar and huddled alone in the corner. Her body was also dirty, but her clothes were not as shabby as other children.

Squeak - the brake sound of the car suddenly sounded, and all the children stopped grabbing because of this sound. Small eyes look at the luxurious Lincoln extended car. It's really strange for this kind of car to appear in this forgotten corner by urban people.

The man in a black suit who got out of the car opened the door. The children's eyes were almost all focused on the little boy who got out of the car. He was also wearing a black suit. He was a cold boy, and his temperament was cold from his eyes to his whole body.

Who is he?

I don't know...

I guess he is the young master of a rich family.

What does he do in such a place?

Who knows...

Even at this time, the girl was still watching silently in the corner, and her only companion, a boy who looked slightly older than her, had returned to her. Like the loyal dog of the guardian's own owner.

"Young master, what do you think they are like?" The man asked his master, the cold boy.

The bright eyes glanced at the place and finally stopped in the corner. Pointing to the pair of boys and girls, he said, "Bring them back." After saying that, he turned around and got into the car.

"Where didn't he take us?" The girl leaned against the boy's arms and her voice was very soft.

"The uncle said, follow them and you don't have to starve anymore." The boy answered in a low voice.

"Hmm." The girl closed her eyes and always slept peacefully in the boy's arms.

......

"Yan'er, what are you thinking about?" Xuanyuan Chen's Huan in the carriage asked.

"Nothing." Lan Ruoyan lowered her eyebrows and looked out of the window again. It was getting dark.

"Your Highness, Madam, here we are." The carriage stopped.

Lan Ruoyan actually got off the carriage in front of Xuanyuanchen, and the eunuch maid who came to greet her was surprised to see how the princess came down before the prince. Ignoring them, Lan Ruoyan looked at Xuanyuan Chen, who didn't look well behind him, and he didn't seem to be happy.

If you are not happy, you will not be happy. She is too lazy to care about his emotions now. When she returns to the royal palace at the end of the end of the year, she will leave the royal palace and go to walk around the world. She is no longer a helpless orphan. Even without Xuanyuan Chen, she can still live a good life. Just before she left, she wanted to see Lan Xiang again.

Xuanyuanchen ignored her and walked straight to the Changle Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. Lan Ruoyan smiled indifferently and walked behind him. It has been several months since the last time I saw the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's appearance has long been blurred. It's Princess Lin's close but still fresh in her memory.

"I don't know what Princess Lin'er looks like now." Walking in the corridor, Lan Ruoyan felt bored and said casually.

"What does she look like? What does it matter to you?" Xuanyuan Chen turned around and said coldly.

...when she didn't say it! Lan Ruoyan thought angrily, and her eyes stared at his back and abdomen like a knife.

"Don't think that I don't know what your concubine is doing!" Xuanyuan Chen lowered his voice, turned his head slightly, gritted his teeth and said to Lan Ruoyan behind him.

"..." Lan Ruoyan's white eyes, does he have eyes behind his back?

After that, the two walked to Changle Palace all the way without words. Xuanyuan Chen stopped and pulled Lan Ruoyan to his side. Seeing that the latter deliberately wanted to distance them, he said in a low voice, "If you dare to let the Empress Dowager see some flaws, it's not only you and me!"

Okay, you won! Lan Ruoyan finally cooperated with this threat. Of course, she didn't want anything to happen to Lanxiang, and she didn't want to implict other innocent people. If Xuanyuan Chen's "great cause" is found out, the unlucky one is not only Chen's palace, but also General Lan's family may be implicated.

And Xuanyuanchen was inexplicably unhappy when she saw Lan Ruoyan so obediently. Why did she have to threaten her with the safety of others before she listen to herself? Why doesn't she think about him?

"The mother is a thousand years old." The two came to the empress dowager and simply saluted.

"Quickly avoid gifts - they are all from their own families, so there is no need to be so polite." The Empress Dowager smiled kindly. Lan Ruoyan looked below. She couldn't imagine that such a woman was also a woman who could play tricks. However, it was understandable that she was also trying to protect her child's throne.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xuan Yuanchen is obviously a little estranged from the Empress Dowager. Lan Ruoyan looked at them quietly and occasionally answered a sentence, so she didn't say much. It's good not to say more. In order not to cause trouble, she still chose this way of doing things.

"The queen is here."

Huh?! The queen is coming! Lan Ruoyan's heart skipped. Since the last time, Xuanyuanchen deliberately designed to send Roseberry to the palace, she has felt a sense of guilt towards the queen. Although she is not the direct culprit, it is also indirect.

"I would like to send my mother's blessings, and my mother's queen is auspicious." Murong Qingqing pulled her little son, Prince Xuanyuansheng, and bowed in front of him. Lan Ruoyan saw Xuanyuansheng for the first time. She was full of curiosity about the little boy. Since he came in, her eyes had never left the beautiful little boy. Xuanyuansheng completely inherited the good appearance of his parents, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He fell in love with the child at first sight.

With a tight waist, Lan Ruoyan frowned and stared at Xuanyuan Chen, but the other party sneered, moved his lips, and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Look again, it's also a child."

"Hmm!" Lan Ruoyan snorted and started.

"Does the smoke like Sheng'er?" The Empress Dowager saw the small movements of the couple for a long time and asked Lan Ruoyan with a smile.

"Hmm. Sheng'er is very cute. Lan Ruoyan nodded and found that Murong Qingqing and his son were also looking at her. He couldn't help but be a little nervous. Will Murong Qingqing hate her?

"Then you and Chen'er should make a doll and come out earlier. At that time, take them to the palace to study with Shenger, and there will be many grandchildren in the family." The Empress Dowager still smiled kindly, but Kelan Ruoyan listened to her words, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Put their children in the palace, which is not similar to protons. Children are not without father or mother. Why should they be put by the palace grandmother? They are not their own grandmothers. She really doesn't want to talk to such an empress dowager, but after all, she is the empress dowager. She still wants to reply, "In fact, I prefer girls. That day, I also told the prince that it would be nice if the first one could be a girl."

The Empress Dowager's face stiffened when she heard her words, and a haze flashed in her eyes. Lan Ruoyan smiled secretly in her heart, but it was so easy to make her angry. Ha ha, interesting!

"This is what my sister thought. If my sister had known some truth earlier, she would not have fallen here." Murong Qingqing turned her head and said bitterly to Lan Ruoyan.

God! How did Murong Qingqing talk to her in this tone? Is it really as she expected... Lan Ruoyan looked at Xuanyuan in surprise, but his face was expressionless, and his ten-year-old poker face hung up again.

"Queen, mother and son are precious, and it's enough for you to have a better son." When the Empress Dowager saw that the queen was sad, she persuaded her in a low voice.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Murong Qingqing nodded, but she did not show her face because of this.

"Mother, why are you unhappy again?" Xuanyuansheng's little hand shook Murong Qingqing's hand, and the milky child's voice was lovely.

"Nothing, Sheng'er--" Murong Qingqing shook her head, obviously wrong, but what can a five-year-old child understand? Xuanyuan Sheng still looked at his mother puzzledly.

"Mother, I want to take the cigarette to visit the royal garden first." Xuanyuan Chen saw that there was nothing wrong with staying in Changle Palace, so he came forward and said to the empress dowager.

"Good. Let's go and have a look. Recently, all the daffodils in the imperial garden have opened. The queen nod and agreed. She also had some private words to say to the queen, and Xuanyuanchen and the others left just in time.

He was pulled out of Changle Palace by Xuan Yuanchen and walked almost far. Lan Ruoyan looked around and no eunuch followed him, so she immediately shook off his hand, and Xuanyuanchen frowned again.

"My concubine's hands are cold, and I'm afraid that the prince will feel uncomfortable..." Lan Ruoyan was a little uncomfortable when she saw him like this, but in the palace, she still didn't act as arbitrarily as in the royal palace. If she was accidentally seen by someone, she would casually report to the emperor and the empress dowager, and they would be in trouble again.

"I once promised General Lan that I would take good care of Yan'er. Since Yan'er has caught a cold, I should warm your hands for you." Xuanyuanchen didn't think so and stretched out his hand to pull Lan Ruoyan closer to him.

"..." Lan Ruoyan looked at him speechlessly. How could he say false words as if they were true every time!

All the way to the royal garden, the daffodil potted plants were neatly placed on the shelf, with light yellow calyx, cyan corolla, six snow-white petals surrounding the calyx, with a crown in the middle, shaped like a cup, fragrant flower flavor.

"Yan can know that if this jade platform is a golden crown, it is called a golden jade platform, and if it is silver--" Xuanyuanchen is rarely in a good mood to explain these flowers and plants, but he was interrupted by Lan Ruoyan, who did not understand the amorous feelings.

"Silver is called Yinzhan Jade Table. Legend has it that the golden jade platform is a man and the silver jade platform is a woman. And before the gold and silver cup bloomed, no one knew that it was a man or a woman. Lord, this kind of gold and silver cup is just like giving birth to a child. Lan Ruoyan saw so many daffodils together for the first time, and she was counting these daffodils men and women in a particularly good mood. As soon as Xuanyuanchen mentioned this, she chattered in front of him.

"I didn't expect the princess to know this." Xuanyuanchen smiled, but his expression was extremely cold. This woman is absolutely intentional!

"The emperor is here." - Er, Lan Ruoyan has a feeling that the world has shrunk in an instant in the palace. How did he meet the empress dowager and meet the emperor again?!

Lan Ruoyan turned around, and the white Qingqing figure fell into her eyes, and her mood was low to the bottom.
