Chapter 28: In the Dream
"Miss, the hot water is ready... Miss?" As soon as Lan Xiang entered the door, she saw Lan Ruoyan lying quietly on the table, "Miss?" Lan Xiang looked at the open door doubtfully. How could she remember that she closed the door when she left?
"Well, get ready to take a bath." Lan Ruoyan looked up lazily, and the powerlessness that did not belong to her disappeared. She did not want to show her cowardice in front of others. She did not allow her to adjust her state. She was still the calm and indifferent Lan Ruoyan.
He hurried back to Xuanyuanchen, who was loose and looked at the things all over the room. And the little Zhuozi who followed him was even more cautious. He didn't understand why the prince was not very happy to hear that the princess came back. Why was he so angry all of a sudden?
Xuanyuanchen waved his sleeves and swept the things on the table on the ground. He looked at the little Zhuozi behind him and roared, "Get me out!"
Xiao Zhuozi can't wait to leave early. At this time, he can't afford to provoke the prince. Gently closed the door and disappeared.
Xuanyuanchen was very angry. He was so angry that he didn't pay attention to him and her face that she didn't care. He was angry with himself. Since he didn't dare to ask him to leave, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, she would not return and leave.
This is the first time he has had this feeling in his life. When he thought of Lan Ruoyan, he thought of Su Mu's words, "You and she only have the name of husband and wife, and there is no husband and wife." He was so angry that he forgot to ask her. In front of her, he is always easy to lose his sense of proportion.
"Come on!"
"The slave is here." Xiao Zhuozi slipped back from nowhere, and he was really dedicated.
"I'm going to Lanxin Pavilion tonight." Xuan Yuanchen said evilly. When he thought of the three chapters of the appointment, his face was gloomy, "No, go to Chunqin Pavilion tonight and ask Mrs. Chun to prepare for it."
Xiao Zhuozi didn't know why, and looked up at Xuanyuanchen with a little doubt. This face change speed, well, what's wrong with his prince?
"I told you to go!"
"Yes, I'm going now!" There is no need to say more about the truth that those who know the current affairs are handsome.
Chunqin Pavilion
"Bambooxin, bring me the jewels won by the prince. Last time the prince said that I was very beautiful, and the gauze skirt. Last time I wore that one, the prince looked at me twice..." Mrs. Chun kept calling the maid close to her. When she heard that the prince came to her Chunqin Pavilion tonight, not to mention how happy she was. The people in this yard are busy, and her close maid is even worse.
"Madam, I'm happy to see you. Madam is naturally beautiful, and with such a dress, the prince will definitely like it." Zhu Xin said to Mrs. Chun in the mirror that she was really happy for her young lady.
"You have a sweet mouth." Mrs. Chun smiled confidently. Obviously, this is still very useful for women.
"King...Your Majesty is auspicious!" Zhu Xin looked through the mirror and looked at the angry prince and said with some fear. Tonight's prince seemed to be a little, er, different.
"Your Majesty, have you had dinner?" Mrs. Chun went to Xuanyuanchen and bowed to Yingying.
"Well, there is no need for dinner, Zhuxin, you go down." Xuanyuan Chen said with a blank face.
Zhu Xin got the order and bowed and went out. The prince's low-pressure aura is not enough for her to withstand. The slaves of the royal palace are all mature, and those who can observe the words and colors.
"Your Majesty, is it so late to rest?" Under the candlelight, he looked at Xuanyuanchen's charming face.
"Hmm." Xuanyuanchen looked at such a Mrs. Chun, obedient, and took herself as heaven. He just didn't understand why Lan Ruoyan always sang against him. Other women should not be grateful for his treatment, but she actually thought about the outside. The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became.
This woman is smart and beautiful, but her mind is always unpredictable, as if she doesn't care about anything, even her own life. But she doesn't care about anything, not her indifference, not her ruthlessness, but the merit, fame, wealth and salary in the eyes of ordinary people. To her, it is as light as dust. She cares about people and the people she cares about.
Xuanyuanchen's expression shaking Lan Ruoyan in front of him was indifferent, calm, pretending to be calm, arrogant, and the scenes were so vivid that they lingered in his mind.
"It's getting late. You can rest first. I still have something to deal with." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Mrs Chun looked at Xuanyuan Chen's departure, and the smile on her face slowly stiffened. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell, her body gradually became cold, and her eager heart became cold.
She still remembers that when she saw Xuanyuanchen for the first time, she clearly knew that she had fallen. Later, it took a lot of effort to get his favor. Even in the side room, she couldn't help but be happy.
She didn't understand. At first, she was fine. She could still feel like it from his eyes. Why did she leave without looking back after he showed such an expression? She can't figure it out.
After a long time, "Bamboo heart." Mrs. Chun said to the open door.
Zhu Xin looked at his lady in front of him, and then looked at the open door. There was no shadow of the prince, and his heart was clear.
"Come here." Mrs. Chun whispered, and her smile gradually climbed onto her charming face, but there was another scene in her eyes.
Zhu Xin obediently walked to Mrs. Chun. Mrs. Chun whispered in Zhu Xin's ear, "Go and find out where the prince went tonight?"
When Zhu Xin heard the order, he quietly hid into the night.
Lanxin Pavilion
After Xuanyuanchen left, Lan Ruoyan was already very tired. After bathing, she went to bed early with no appetite for dinner. The dark room was very quiet. Lan Ruoyan slept uneasily in **, breathing heavily, and the sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks across her ears and disappeared into her thick black hair.
In the dream, Lan Ruoyan saw a graceful girl and followed a figure in her garden. She quietly hid in the dark and looked carefully at the two people in the distance.
Lan Ruoyine desperately wants to see clearly. One person he knows that that is her brother Lan Ruofeng. Who is the other person? Dressed in a green shirt, leaving only one back, and the girl in the dream stared at the back closely. Her eyes were full of thousands of words, love, appreciation and worship, and the girl's mind was not hidden. But she always hid behind her, did not stand out, and her little hand grasped tightly.
"Xiaofeng, I heard that a new restaurant has opened outside the city. How about going to have a look today?" The man turned his face slightly and said with a smile. Lan Ruoyan looked at this familiar face and was shocked.
"Yan'er, the imperial edict, asked your father to marry you to Prince Chen, and your father is reluctant to marry you as a father so early, but the holy life is difficult, and there is nothing my father can do." Lan Qifeng put his hand gently on the girl's shoulder, with a loving face and very reluctant and helpless.
"Dad..." The girl tried her best to hold back her tears, raised her head, and tried to squeeze out a smile. "Dad, don't worry, Yan'er can still come back to see Dad... Even if Yan'er can't come back, Dad still has a brother."
Lan Qifeng has held this daughter in his hand since he was a child. He knew that she was sensible. "Silly child, Prince Chen is also a dragon and phoenix in the whole Xiaqi Dynasty. If you marry him, you will not be wronged."
The girl didn't say anything, but quietly looked at Lan Qifeng in front of her, as if she wanted to look at him into her heart.
"Your father is your only daughter. He will definitely marry you and let you be the most beautiful bride of the whole Xiaqi Dynasty." Lan Qifeng's face was unbearable. The day of his raised daughter finally came to get married, but he couldn't let her choose by herself. He knew that she didn't want to, but he had no choice but to comfort his daughter and comfort himself in this way.
When the girl heard this, she buried her head tightly in Lan Qifeng's arms, and her shoulders kept shrugging and crying sadly.
"Miss, it's auspicious time. Let's go." Lan Xiang looked at her young lady with a little worry, who was already the bride, but her face was not happy at all.
The girl is dressed in a big red wedding dress, with exquisite makeup on her face and a small palm-to-face face with no expression. You go out first and I'll stay for a while."
Lan Xiang stopped talking, but still obediently closed the door and waited outside. As soon as the general and the young master left, the young lady never smiled again. She was really worried, but she had to listen to her words.
In the festive boudoir, the girl took out a small bag of things from under the pillow, went to the table, poured the small bag of powder into the cup, and slowly poured water. The girl looked focused, with indescribable sadness, pain, reluctance and struggle.
The slender and pale five fingers held the cup tightly, "Drunken life and death, what a beautiful name, but unfortunately it is poison, chronic poison, slowly die in sleep. If you die like this, you will have much less pain. The girl showed a relieved smile, "Brother Su, there is no chance in this life. I can't marry you. Yaner can only look forward to the afterlife." After saying that, he drank all the poison in the cup.
"It's time to go." The girl opened the door as if nothing had happened and said to the anxious maid outside the door.
Lanxiang watched the young lady come out and immediately ran those uneasiness out of the sky.
Dad, brother, general's mansion, the girl finally took a look at this place and entered the sedan chair. Consciousness is getting more and more dizzy, the sound of firecrackers, the voice of people, and the singing harmony of the master of ceremonies...
Lan Ruoyan suddenly woke up and wiped the sweat on her forehead. Looking at the familiar places, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Why did she appear in her dream again? What a stupid woman, for the man she likes, although she can't resist the arrangement of fate, she still tries her best to resist. She wants to leave her best side to her beloved man and chooses to die. She must love Su Mu very much. What about Su Mu? Lan Ruoyan thought so in her heart.
Suddenly, it was a little bored, and the night was low. Lan Ruoyan casually put on a dress and opened the window. A cold wind blew in, blowing away the depression of the whole room. The bright moon still hung high, and suddenly black clouds covered it, darkening the night. I couldn't sleep, so I walked out of the door.
