Chapter 5: Temporarily Flat
This shock is not small. Concubine Shao first reacted and said, "Princess is auspicious!" When everyone heard the name of Concubine Shao, they immediately reacted, blessed her body, and shouted in unison, "Princess is auspicious!" One by one, the faces are extremely unnatural.
"You don't have to be polite. Get up." Lan Ruoyan said lukewarmly, thinking that more is better than less than less. They pretended not to hear anything. She just passed by.
"It's a coincidence that we met the princess here. We went to say goodbye to the princess this morning. The maid in the yard said that the princess went out, and we visited the princess here first." The beauty said delicately.
Lan Ruoyan looked at Xuanyuanchen's little wives. Yan was thin and fat, and each had its own advantages. His beautiful blessings were really not shallow. Lan Ruoyan hummed coldly in his heart. These powerful ancients really enjoyed the blessings of three wives and four concubines as they knew in their previous lives.
"You're welcome. In the final analysis, you all come to the palace first. You must know more than this palace. If there is any neglect in this palace, please don't be surprised. Now it's time to have lunch. It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's move to the courtyard of our palace to eat together. By the way, our sisters can still get along with each other. On the surface, she still needs to do it. After all, she is the hostess of this house. If she doesn't want to deal with her, it doesn't mean she doesn't have to deal with it. It's not a bad thing to show her intentions first.
"Xie Niangniang..." To be honest, how could Lan Ruoyan have the illusion of "unloading" the Empress? The corners of the mouth moved, and it seemed that the royal palace was also under pressure.
In this way, a group of people walked to Lanxin Pavilion in Lan Ruoyan's yard, which was so lively.
Lanxin Pavilion is the residence of the imperial concubine. Both the pattern and environment are the best in the house except for the prince's living room. In the past, when the position of Xuanyuanchen's concubine was empty, it was always empty, and they didn't have a chance to stay. So this is also their highest goal.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a green area in front of me. I couldn't see the scene inside, and there was a feeling of holding the pipa half-covered face. A few steps forward, I saw the spring flying down from the mountain gap, sliding over the mottled moss and sinking into the flower pond. The vine is hidden, slightly revealing the path of sheep's intestines, winding and secluded, and beautiful. As soon as I explored the scenery, I carved embroidered railings, surrounded the pond and marshes, covered the shade with green bamboo, and the tortuous corridor. The stones under the steps turned into a corridor. Then I looked at the stone tables and bamboo chairs in the courtyard, which made it interesting.
When everyone saw this garden, they were all envious and marveled. Lan Ruoyan was also very satisfied when she saw this yard for the first time. She liked this artistic conception and quietness. This is simply a natural garden, which was rare to have in the past, but now it is her comfort zone.
"It's good for everyone to eat in this courtyard, tasting delicious food and enjoying the beautiful scenery, and it's also a pleasant thing..." Lan Ruoyan proposed that she didn't want them to look at the house they live in like a rare treasure. After all, it's a private space, and it's really a big thing to eat in such a beautiful scenery. Quick things.
"Since the princess proposed it, it's so good. The princess's yard is very beautiful, much better than Chun'er's Chunqin Pavilion. Mrs. Chun said sourly.
"Yes, the princess's yard is really beautiful. In the future, we should walk more and visit the princess!" Mrs. Lan said with a smile, gentle and polite, but the jealousy in her eyes betrayed her.
"Lan Xiang, I have a casual meal with my sisters today. You ask the kitchen to prepare some home-cooked dishes."
"Yes, the maidservant is going to prepare." Lan Xiang left respectfully.
"Shaofei is pregnant. If there is anything you want to eat, just say, you're welcome. Even if adults don't like it, don't starve the child in your belly." With two generations of life, Lan Ruoyan couldn't help but have a good impression on the child. Moreover, this Shaofei is also a national treasure. She has something to do with her, and it is difficult for her to get rid of it. Therefore, no matter how much she doesn't like it in her heart, she can't show it. Lan Ruoyan finds that her acting skills are getting better and better now, and even she admires herself. Alas! I fell into the dyeing tank again...
"The princess doesn't have to bother so much. My concubine hasn't tasted very well recently and hasn't eaten much. After hearing this, the prince sent a lot of bird's nest shark fins and tonic soup every day. My stomach still has the greasy smell of chicken soup. Don't despise me for spoiling my fun. The words are full of pride and show off. Lan Ruoyan was speechless, but she had to admit that Liu Yuying was very beautiful. The rose-red gauze skirt seems to be dyed with fire in this autumn, swaying and swaying, and more like ice and jade skin. When the women heard this, they were all envious and jealous, but their stomachs were disappointing.
Lan Ruoyan knew that her words were for herself. She only felt that the woman was pitiful. She competed with her husband's many concubines and played tricks, and pretended to be gentle and virtuous in front of outsiders. This meal is also quite calm, just an occasional verbally, and it doesn't hurt me to come and go.
In this way, Lan Ruoyan inquired some news from Lan Xiang's mouth every day, and the days passed so pleasantly. Lan Ruoyan didn't know what Xuanyuanchen was busy with every day. She hadn't seen him since that day, but she didn't care at all. Ba had to meet him. She clearly remembers how powerful her husband's aura is, and it is not easy to fight with such people every day.
"Mother, do you think this will work?" Lan Xiang put down the comb in her hand and asked nervously.
"Well, that's good. Although today is the first time to see the Empress Dowager and the emperor after the wedding, you don't have to be too pompous. Lan Ruoyan looked in the mirror and said with a strange and familiar face.
This is the first time she has carefully looked at this face, which is very similar to the outline of her previous life. The melon seed face and the sharp chin make a pair of eyes more flexible and clear. The shadows of the past and present life overlapped, and in the end, only the woman in the mirror was calm, sweeping the moth eyebrows, and the bun was pinned with a phoenix hairpin symbolizing status, which was shining and beautiful. If the shoulder is cut, the waist is as simple. The neck is beautiful, the quality is exposed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead is Huafu. Yijing's body is leisurely and tender. Lan Ruoyan was a little stunned by stroking her face.
"Mother is so beautiful!" Lan Xiang muttered.
"Jiao Zhuozi, a slave, please send his best to the prince! The prince is auspicious!" Xiao Zhuozi outside the door shouted.
Lan Xiang came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down to beg him.
Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand at Xiao Zhuozi and stepped into the room with one foot. Lan Ruoyan heard the sound and looked at the door. I saw a tall man in a prince's uniform walking in. The lines of the man's face are resolute and soft, and the two feelings are intertwined, crashing into a strange beauty, giving people a strong visual impact, and his eyes seem to smile, giving people an unfathomable feeling. That night, the lights in the bridal chamber were too dark, and I only cared about bargaining with Xuanyuanchen for benefits, and I didn't care about looking at him carefully. Now in terms of appearance alone, Xuanyuanchen is also a disaster, evil!
"My concubine, it's getting late. It's time for us to leave for the palace." Xuanyuanchen unconsciously hooked his lips and was supposed to wait for her at the door. Just thinking about the way she wanted to make an agreement with him that night, he suddenly decided to go there in person. After two days of absence, her dress still stunned him. But after a while, he came to his senses. He thought it didn't matter if he didn't come to see her, but when he saw her shaking his mind for himself, he unconsciously smiled.
Lan Ruoyan came to her senses and saw the corners of Xuanyuanchen's lips. She knew that he had looked at all her thoughts just now and didn't care. She handed her hand to Lan Xiang and said, "Lan Xiang, let's go. We can't afford to delay the prince's business!" But he didn't want to betray his little entangled mood in his tone.
Xuanyuanchen saw that she did not salute. Hearing this, he ignored that he was a little unhappy, but he knew that she was uncomfortable when he listened to her tone. I don't know why he didn't want to care about it at this moment and took the lead in walking out of the room.
The carriage stopped at the main gate of the royal palace, which was the first time for Lan Ruoyan to leave the royal palace. Although Lan Ruoyan has the privilege of Xuanyuanchen, she has always been a cautious person. She can do anything with confidence. She will be hit by a blow and will not act rashly. This is a habit formed from an early age, and it is also a good habit. Therefore, when she came to this strange world, most of the things were learned from reading and Lan Xiang, and she had not gone out by herself.
It's just that these days, she has learned more or less about these things from Lanxiang, knowing that this is a completely unfamiliar dynasty - the Xiaqi Dynasty.
"Come on, I'm still in a daze, my beloved concubine." I don't know when Xuanyuanchen got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and said jokingly to Lan Ruoyan, who was in a daze.
"Princess, please get in the car." Butler Liu said respectfully.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately fell on the ground, waiting for Lan Ruoyan to get on the car.
Lan Ruoyan took a look, frowned, directly crossed the "human pedal" and easily jumped into the carriage with light movements. This scene also fell into Xuanyuanchen's eyes in the carriage. He looked at Lan Ruoyan thoughtfully and felt more and more that this woman was a mystery. However, the body crawling under the carriage stiffened, and then slowly stood up and stood aside.
As soon as she got on the carriage, Lan Ruoyan began to close her eyes and maintain an instinctive defensive posture. There are thousands of thoughts in her mind. Although she is not naive enough to think that she can live carefree every day, it is too unrealistic, but she didn't expect trouble to come so quickly.
I still remember that day when the prince sent someone to say that he was going to the palace to meet two days later, Lan Ruoyan immediately thought that "the ugly daughter-in-law also had to be her parents-in-law" and couldn't help but be full of black lines. Only then did she realize that although this status is noble and enjoys a lot of benefits, it is also a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, she finally had to experience something that she couldn't dream of. She was a little nervous, but she was more curious and curious about all this.
I don't know how long it took before the carriage finally stopped slowly.
"Follow me when you get off the bus later. Let's go to the empress dowager first and then visit the emperor." Xuanyuanchen threw down this sentence and lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Lan Ruoyan didn't say anything, but followed him obediently. As soon as she entered the palace door was as deep as the sea, and her eyes and ears were everywhere. She chose to be silent.
The royal palace is located in the north of the city, with magnificent eaves and high teeth, five steps on the first floor, ten steps and one pavilion. Lan Ruoyan didn't know that she had turned a few corners and passed through a few doors. She only felt that this was a maze rather than a palace. She didn't know what the "bad taste" was. At first, I spent some time studying the architectural pattern here and enjoying the Yuyu Qiong Building here, but I was dizzy and finally stopped in front of a magnificent palace.
"Prince Chen, Princess Chen is arriving!" Hearing the biography of the servant, Lan Ruoyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and glanced at Xuanyuan Chen beside him, but he still looked relaxed and comfortable.
"The emperor's (daughter-in-law) please give your mother's peace." Lan Ruoyan looked at Xuanyuanchen's movements and wanted to follow the prince. No matter how wrong she was, it would not be ridiculous.
It's just why, she felt that Xuanyuanchen's eyes were funny, puzzled and faintly helpless. The princess of the minister was rude, no wonder the mother. He crossed one hand and took Lan Ruoyan and said.
