Chapter 30: Trading

Although Xuanyuanchen's head was dizzy again, he heard the sound of "smoke" and stared at Xuanyuan straight angrily. "When his nephew is sick, he naturally needs smoke to take care of her. It's not too much to say that she is tired, but what did you do, uncle? Are you tired?"

"If you are good-hearted, you should know more or less about my clothes, with your intelligence." Xuanyuan said with an aggrieved look, but his eyes showed foreign pride.

stared at the familiar imperial suit, which symbolized the majesty of the heavenly family, the red-gold clothing, and colorful edge texture. It's like this is his regent's court uniform! Could it be that he turned his eyes to Lan Ruoyan, full of doubts.

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness. The prince still needs to rest. Go back to rest first." Lan Ruoyan said directly to Xuanyuan.

"Alas, Yaner, why don't you say the kindness of dripping water and repay each other with Yongquan?" Xuanyuan replied with disappointment.

"Uh--" Lan Ruoyan was embarrassed. How could this uncle be like a rip-off?

"Okay, okay, I said it casually. You should take good care of Chen'er. You can write to me another day." Xuanyuan said directly and turned around.

As soon as he left, Xuanyuanchen called Lan Ruoyan, "Yan'er, come here. I have something to say to you."

Xiaobu quickly walked to the bedside and sat down. Lan Ruoyan said to Xuanyuan worriedly, "What does the prince want to say when he recovers from his illness? The cigarette has always been there, and I have time to listen to it..."

"No, I have to tell you now, Yaner." Xuanyuanchen shook her hand, "A little slower, I'm afraid I'll miss more."

"Your Majesty..." Lan Ruoyan was stunned, and her heart beat unsteadily. She had a hunch that what Xuanyuan Chen wanted to tell her was extraordinary, and her hands trembled slightly, and she felt a sense of fear.

"Yaner, don't be afraid." Through the touch of his hand, Xuanyuanchen seemed to be able to feel Lan Ruoyan's mood. He held it tighter, stared at Lan Ruoyan, opened his mouth, and hesitated whether to say it.

"If the prince decides that it is difficult to speak, it's okay not to say it." Lan Ruoyan's face gradually became gloomy. She didn't know what Xuanyuanchen would say to her, but here, what was related to her was actually not her business.

"After all, I still have to say..." Xuanyuanchen sighed and said slowly, "Yan'er, have you always felt that you are out of touch with the world? You don't belong here, so you don't have a sense of belonging. You prefer the kind of life of living in the world and traveling around the world."

"How do you know?" Lan Ruoyan was shocked. Why did Xuanyuan Chen know what she was thinking?

"That night, I heard what you said to your little mother." Xuanyuanchen's voice gradually lowered, "I didn't mean to peep, but when I got to the door, I wanted to go in, but I heard you go there... Yaner, your real name is Ye Sanger, you are not Xia Qi's Lan Ruoyan, right?"

How should she answer and say no? Or admit...

"Whether you are Ye Sang'er or Lan Ruoyan, you are my wife now." Xuanyuanchen said firmly, and Luo Yin softened again, "I don't care who you are, as long as you are the woman I have known since the wedding night. If you prefer to be Ye Sang'er, I will call you Sang'er in the future... okay?"

"Your Majesty... In fact, you don't have to do this..." She didn't know how to respond. Xuan Yuanchen treated her affectionately, and now she is far better than Su Mu. If Su Mu knew that she was not Lan Ruoyan, what would he do?

"At this moment, are you thinking about Su Mu?" Xuanyuanchen's eyes flashed when she looked at her, and he guessed that she could only think of Su Mu.

"You see too thoroughly--" That will make your heart more tired.

"But no matter how I see through your mind, I still can't make you really happy." Xuan Yuanchen looked at Lan Ruoyan and pulled her closer. "Since you came to this world and became my wife, do you prove that we have a fate?"

"Your Majesty, I just feel that I don't deserve you. Whether it's Ye Sang'er or Lan Ruoyan, I'm afraid I can't be your wife." Lan Ruoyan whispered, "I'm not a virtuous woman, and I don't know what it means to be reasonable. I'm not good at so-called power schemes... I'm not suitable for here..."

"Have you ever left here and lived a comfortable life outside?" Xuanyuanchen looked slightly gloomy, "Have you never cared about here outside?"

...How can it be careless? Even if the world is broken, the debt is difficult to repay. The Lan family's father and son are good to her, Xuanyuan Chen and Su Mu are infatuated with her, and the old naughty master and apprentice treat each other sincerely. If she wants to leave now, she will definitely not be willing to give up.

"Lin's child also said that the palace was not good and bound her, but when she really went outside, is everything as beautiful as you think? Although the rivers and lakes are free, even the birds soar in the sky will eventually return to their nests. If this is not your destination, where should you belong?" Xuanyuanchen smiled bitterly, "I don't know if you want too much or I give too little..."

The conversation with Xuanyuanchen is not over here. He still held her hand and said, "When there is no one in the future, I will call you Saner. How about your name is Chen?"

Finally, Lan Ruoyan couldn't help getting up and pulling back Xuanyuanchen's clenched hand. She was short of breath, but she still said coldly, "Your Majesty, we are not suitable."

"Why is it not suitable?" Xuanyuanchen's meaning is a trace of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I'm not a person of this era... After all, we are not a world." Lan Ruoyan only felt powerless. She couldn't resist Xuanyuanchen's good, but she somehow struggled to refuse him.

After saying that, Lan Ruoyan quickly walked out and left Xuan Yuanchen's call far behind. She was afraid of Xuanyuanchen's kindness to her, because she felt that she could not repay her.

That night, Xuanyuanchen returned to Songtang. Just as Lan Ruoyan was worried about how to face him under the same roof as Xuanyuanchen, the Empress Dowager's decree suddenly came from the palace.

"The Empress Dowager ordered the regent and the princess to enter the palace immediately." The sharp voice of Tianjian hovered overhead, and Xuanyuan and Lan Ruoyan raised their eyebrows almost at the same time. What did the Empress Dowager do? Lan Ruoyan thought, was it that the Empress Dowager began to fight back when she saw Xuanyuan Chen's excessively attacking the Nangong family?

Go to the carriage of the palace and sit opposite Xuanyuanchen. Lan Ruoyan could only bow her head and pretend to close her eyes to avoid his eyes. In the darkness, she only heard Xuanyuan Chen sigh and whispered, "Song'er..."

"Your Majesty!?" Lan Ruoyan stared, "How can you call me that?"

"Son'er, you are Sonny, aren't you?" Xuanyuanchen saw her open her eyes and look at herself.

"Your Majesty... Can you forget what you have heard?" Lan Ruoyan said in a low voice.

What would happen if Lan Qifeng knew that his daughter Lan Ruoyan was not the original "Lan Ruoyan"? What will happen to Lan Ruofeng... Not to mention the old urchin. With their attention to the bright moon fairy and Lan Ruoyan, Ye Sanger's possession of Lan Ruoyan's body is the greatest sin. Xuanyuanchen and Su Mu may not care, but that's why they don't have direct contact with Mingyue Fairy Lan Ruoyan.

"Why?" Xuanyuanchen asked, he didn't understand. Didn't Lan Ruoyan only care that others thought she was "Lan Ruoyan" that she had been depressed? Why did he say frankly that he didn't care, and she did the same.

"Even if the prince doesn't care, my father and brother care. I don't want them to be sad." Lan Ruoyan said and lowered his eyes, "I beg you to keep this secret for me."

"It's useless to talk more. Why don't we make a deal?" Xuanyuan Chen tapped his knee with his finger.

"What transaction?" Lan Ruoyan was stunned, and this also needs to be traded.

"Are you thinking that I'm taking advantage of people's danger?" Xuanyuanchen saw her frightened look and smiled, "Do you remember what you said to me about the 'three chapters' on our wedding night?"

"Of course, remember." Lan Ruoyan's eyes wandered and remembered the scene of that night. At that time, she had just come to this world and faced the "groom" - Xuanyuan Chen, who had never known each other, except for surprise, she was only panic.

"You know, at that time, I also felt that you were in danger." Xuanyuanchen smiled and said, "At that time, my father died for less than a year, and I only had the original 3,000 elite soldiers in my hand. Liu Pingxian, the king of Hui, was also afraid of the king's power and did not want to help. There were not many ministers in the court who could help me. At that time, I married you, which was equivalent to having the trump card of General Lan Qifeng. At that time, I didn't need to gather them. They knew that they would come to me for your father's power.

"But if I have a bad relationship with you, my father won't help you, so you have to put up with me everywhere?" Lan Ruoyan thought about it and suddenly realized.

"Yes, I only felt that you were spoiled and arrogant at that time, and I didn't look at people's faces. At that time, I wanted to promise you for the time being and teach you a good lesson after I get it." Xuanyuanchen smiled and said, but Lan Ruoyan's face had already turned sunny and cloudy. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuanchen was like this!

"Do you think I'm annoying now?" Xuan Yuanchen smiled indifferently and suddenly reached out to take Lan Ruoyan's hand and said, "However, I can't count it. In the end, I fell into it myself, and you silently settled in my heart."

"Your Majesty..." Xuanyuan's hands were always warm, and Lan Ruoyan hesitated to say, "Don't do this..."

"Since you are also weak with me now, I will make a deal with you now." Xuanyuan Chen whispered, "In the future, no one will let me call you Sonny. You call me Chen."

"No--" Lan Ruoyan shook his head.

"Don't refuse me. If you don't agree, I don't know that I will call your name in front of people that day..." Xuanyuanchen smiled calculatingly, as cunning as a fox.

"You..." Lan Ruoyan had nothing to say about Xuanyuanchen, but he was like this! What are the benefits of this deal for him? After thinking about it, she finally agreed, "Okay."

"San." He shouted the name with joy, and at that moment, Lan Ruoyan felt that his heart became soft. She looked up at Xuanyuanchen's bright eyes and couldn't help shouting, "Chan."

Something changed when the name changed. Lan Ruoyan only knew that whenever she thought of Xuanyuanchen, she couldn't help muttering a word "chen".

When he came to Yongle Palace, Xuanyuanchen stared at the palace plaque and his heart was uncertain. He looked at Lan Ruoyan and said, "When you see the empress dowager, you must deal with it carefully. I don't know what she is planning."

"Hmm." Lan Ruoyan nodded, "No matter what, the prince must be careful."

"I don't care why she can't hurt me. However, I think her purpose is you..." Xuanyuanchen's eyebrows folded slightly, "I'm afraid she noticed that I care about you that day when I protected you so much."

"This..." How could Lan Ruoyan not know that it is better to threaten a person with her weakness than to attack him. Does the Empress Dowager want to do something to her?

Xuanyuan Chen was about to say something to Lan Ruoyan when the eunuch of the maidservant came to send a message, "The queen announces the regent, princess."

The two nodded tacitly and walked in slowly. Lan Ruoyan was even more cautious, not looking elsewhere and taking a breath. Walking into the Yongle Palace, the Empress Dowager still sat solemnly on it. If it hadn't been for the faint sadness between her eyebrows, Lan Ruoyan really couldn't see any difference from what she had seen more than a year ago.

"I see the empress dowager, the empress dowager is thousands of years old." Xuanyuan Chen and Lan Ruoyan knelt down and saluted at the same time.

"Free of courtesy." The Empress Dowager waved her hand.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." The two got up at the same time.

"Sit down, you are all your own family." There is a kind smile behind the sky.

To be honest, what Lan Ruoyan admires most is the Empress Dowager. No matter how hateful the people in front of her are, she can smile kindly and make people completely unaware of her emotions. Lan Ruoyan wondered if the women in the harem were so hidden. After Xuanyuan Chen sat down, the empress dowager spoke.

"Chou'er, your brother's illness has not improved at all recently. The mother is always worried about whether your brother will go like this..." The queen said as if she was going to cry.

Lan Ruoyan thought to herself that Xuanyuan's death was inevitable, and the Empress Dowager also knew in her heart that she still complained to them like this. As a person, she must have an intention.

"Don't worry too much. Didn't the imperial doctor say that the imperial brother's pulse has stabilized? The royal brother is the son of heaven and has his own blessing.

Alas, is this the person in the palace? It's natural to say things against your will. Lan Ruoyan looked up at the empress dowager. As the imperial concubine of King Chen, she naturally wanted to say the same thing as Xuanyuanchen, "Yes, the emperor has God's blessing, and she will definitely turn danger away."

"You say so, it's a relief for the family, but the emperor... Alas..." The Empress Dowager was full of sorrow.

"The Empress Dowager, Concubine Die and Master Jingchen arrived and asked to meet outside the palace." The eunuch entered the report.

"Tell her to come in!" When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face showed joy.

Her expression of joy fell into the eyes of Xuanyuanchen and Lan Ruoyan, but she had doubts and looked at each other. Xuanyuanchen shook his head and said that she didn't know what was going on.

"The Empress Dowager is extremely happy." Rosemary entered and gave a salute. She was dressed beautifully, but she was not as luxurious as in the past, with a single snail, gathered her hair stock, and stacked like a snail. The decorated hairpin is also an elegant jade hairpin, with pink peony silk flowers, which is also dignified and beautiful.

"Ah! The regent and princess are also here. After saluteing, she looked sideways at Xuanyuanchen and Lan Ruoyan.

Every time she met Roseberry, Lan Ruoyan was unconsciously disgusted. Her eyes were still affectionate, while Xuanyuan Chen looked indifferent, thinking that he deliberately did so. I thought to himself, is it possible that he wants to welcome and refuse?!

"Princess, you must cherish the princess very much, otherwise how can the princess become more and more beautiful?" The meaning of rosemary is sour, and the strong vinegar comes out.

Just as Lan Ruoyan was thinking about how to fight back, Xuanyuanchen said, "Is the Empress Diefei here to catch up with the past?" The words are cold and reprimand.

"I have been in the deep palace for a long time, and it is indeed a little empty. Now when I see the princess, I want to talk about it together. I don't want to make you unhappy." Roseberry said softly, bowed, and actually saluted Xuanyuanchen, "Please don't be angry with Roseberry."

but he didn't expect Xuanyuanchen to stop talking to her with a cold hum. Rosemary also felt embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Seeing this situation, Lan Ruoyan's sweat, Rosemary, what do you say now in front of the Empress Dowager, why are you doing so ambiguous?! Doesn't it make the Empress Dowager suspicious?

"I don't know who this master Jingchen is. I can't salute when I see the empress dowager and me?" Xuanyuan Chen's sharp eyes looked at the dust behind him.

Lan Ruoyan is just a Taoist nun in a hundred clothes. She seems to be in her forties, but her skin is excellent. I think it's just a false aunt or something. I don't know what the Empress Dowager invited such a person to do. Isn't it useless to ask for God instead?

"Chen'er must not be rude. Master Jingchen is a master." The Empress Dowager scolded Xuanyuanchen.

"Don't blame the Empress Dowager His Royal Highness the Regent. The poor will not be angry because of the regent's rudeness." The dust was thrown between his elbows and saluted the empress dowager with one hand.

"Fortunately, the master has a lot and doesn't care about children. Concubine Di has just taken you to meet the emperor. I don't know if the prayer dance can benefit the emperor's early recovery? The Empress Dowager said devoutly.

"The emperor was originally the son of heaven and was blessed by God. Now he can't afford to get sick. He is very likely to be harmed by evil!" Jingchen deliberately aggravated the word evil and looked at Xuanyuan Chen with some guidance.

When Lan Ruoyan saw the dust looking at Xuanyuanchen, her heart beat up to her throat. Isn't this old Taoist aunt going to say that the emperor was harmed by Xuanyuanchen?!

Compared with her, Xuanyuanchen was much calmer. He raised his eyes and looked coldly at the dust, "Since the master said so, did he come up with a good way to save the emperor?"

"What the regent said is very true." Jingchen nodded and looked at the empress dowager, "Empress dowager, I'm afraid you can only use the prayer dance to ward off evil spirits for the emperor."

"Pray for God Dance?" Xuanyuan asked, "Is the master joking? The emperor is sick. Can it make people dance sound?"

"To pray for the dance requires two noble women to dance, standing on the high platform and dancing, and the gods can come down to the earth." Jingchen said, "Regent, the emperor is at a critical juncture. At this moment, praying for the divine dance is the key."
