Chapter 3: In order to get the concubine

"Why do you have to think so much?" Chen'er is a dragon and phoenix among people, and even in the 21st century, she is a hard-to-find person. Besides, you have become husband and wife. I can see that there is a relationship between you. Why bother to quarrel with something like this and that? Nie Keren held Lan Ruoyan's hand, "I also thought it would be good for a woman to live a lifetime, but when there is only one person, she will unconsciously want a man to rely on."

"Sister, I understand what you mean, but I..." Lan Ruoyan stopped talking, but some words still didn't say.

How can Nie Keren be so careful that he can't see that Lan Ruoyan is unspeakable and has pain in his heart. She and Lan Ruoyan only met for the first time. Of course, she knew that some words of the other party could not be exhausted. So he stopped asking, but sighed, "Yan'er, if you really don't like Chen'er, leave him as soon as possible. In the end, you two will suffer."

"Sister, it's not a problem for me to leave alone, but my father and brother are still in the capital. If I leave, who knows what will happen at the back door?" Lan Ruoyan didn't know what would happen later. She thought Nie Keren should also understand it.

"Chou'er is not a hero like Cao Cao. Your father and brother helped him establish the country. He may not do the matter of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge." Nie Keren comforted him in a soft voice.

"The prince is very careful, but I still can't rest assured." Lan Ruoyan hesitated to reply. What Nie Keren said may be true, maybe it was just to please her heart.

"Hee... It seems that no matter how much I say, my sister can't rest assured. Then why don't you just stay?" Nie Keren joked.

"Alas! Sister, you are really..." Lan Ruoyan was helpless and stared at her strangely.

"Sister, just say it, I can't hold it anymore. Why on earth don't you want to be with Chen'er?" Nie Keren was also impatient, and finally accidentally leaked it out.

"..." Lan Ruoyan looked at Nie Keren, thought about it again and again, and said, "I told my sister today, can you help me keep it secret?"

"It must be." Nie Keren nodded. If I say it, I will become mute.

Seeing Nie Keren swearing, Lan Ruoyan also said, "In fact, in addition to the prince, there is another person who has shown his heart to me. He treats me no different from the prince..."

After a long narrative, Nie Keren listened attentively and said that Su Mu saw Xuanyuanchen coming, but avoided waiting for Lan Ruoyan to decide by herself. He actually said empatheticly, "It's so pitiful. What an infatuated man."

"What do you think I should do?" Lan Ruoyan also frowned and asked Nie Keyan.

Nie Keren smiled and said, "Since they have shown their intentions, it is really difficult to choose when it comes to people. However, Yaner, if Chener doesn't have three wives or four concubines, who do you think you will choose?

A word awakened the dreamer and said rationally that the two were comparable, but in terms of heart, Xuanyuanchen's weight in Lan Ruoyan's heart was heavier. I guess it was because he came to Xia Qi and saw him first.

"Of course, sometimes the feeling of the heart is not all right. You still have to choose it carefully. Come on, sister, let me give you some advice. Nie Keren helped Lan Ruoyan make a plan to test Xuanyuanchen. As for Su Mu, let's see if he will really do as he said, as usual.

"Since you don't like the women in Chen'er's backyard, let him divorce them."

Lan Ruoyan couldn't bear it. "Those women's fate is sad. If the prince divorces them, won't they end worse?"

Nie Keren advised her, "In the future, Chen'er will be crowned as a great treasure, and they will also be awarded as concubines in turn. At that time, the harem will only be worse than the royal palace, and the scene of concubines will only compete for favor. In other words, when they leave the royal palace, their wealth and glory may not be comparable to the palace, but the solution they find is better than fighting in the palace.

Lan Ruoyan thought that Nie Keren was right, so she followed her words.

"Little mother, Yan'er." Xuan Yuanchen's call came from a distance.

The two got up at the same time and smiled. When they left, Nie Keren quietly told Lan Ruoyan that she and Gan Shilin actually lived in a separate courtyard in the northern suburbs of the capital.

"Hey! We are here!" Nie Keren replied that way.

In a short time, Xuanyuan Chen and Gan Shilin came together.

"Oh, I said, why did you come so soon? I haven't finished talking to Yan'er's sister yet!" Nie Keren saw them coming and looked at Lan Ruoyan, and actually complained a little.

When the four met, Gan Shilin naturally walked to Nie Keren and smiled, "You are familiar with each other. When you met Chener's wife for the first time, your sister shouted. She is a generation younger than you."

"It's a generation younger than you, right! I'm only a few years older than her. You'll be fine. Don't call me old. Nie Keren retorted.

"Oh! I think I'm old again!" Gan Shilin stretched out his hand as if to knock her on the head. Nie Ke knew that he didn't really want to hit her, so he ran away quickly.

Huh? Where's my master?" Lan Ruoyan felt bored when she saw the couple flirting like this. Looking around, she found that the old naughty boy did not follow.

"Predecessor Mo just said he was going to visit an old man, so he left first." Xuanyuanchen returned to her question, approached her again and said, "Shall we go somewhere else to have a look?"

Looking at Xuanyuan Chen, Lan Ruoyan thought of what Nie Keren had said to her, so she replied softly, "Let's go back first. It's cold. I didn't bring a heater. I'm afraid I'll freeze into an ice man later."

"Ice Man? Well, it's easy to catch a cold outside. Xuanyuanchen smiled when he heard the words and always felt that the word "Ice Man" was interesting. Probably, as long as Lan Ruoyan is around, he will be in a happy mood.

When they returned to the small courtyard, Lan Ruofeng, Wen Wei and Su Mu had not returned yet. It was estimated that it would take some time for the old urchin to come back. There were only two of them in this half-large yard. After they left, there was another snow, and the footprints in the snow were covered.

Lan Ruoyan stood in it and saw that the snow was white and flawless. She couldn't bear to step on it. Later, she thought about it and felt funny. When did she become a pitying person?

"Why does the smoke laugh?" Xuanyuan Chen stood beside her and suddenly asked when he saw her laughing.

Looking sideways at Xuanyuanchen, Lan Ruoyan smiled and said, "Well, I laughed at why I suddenly couldn't bear to step on this snow."

"It's snow-white and flawless, and it's normal not to be unbearable to destroy." Xuanyuan Chen understood and didn't make a fuss.

"Your Majesty, if I destroy this wonderful scenery without hesitation, will you think I am ruthless?" Lan Ruoyan was still a little uneasy when she thought of letting Xuanyuan Chen get rid of her concubine.

"You won't do anything for no reason. Even if you want to vent your anger, you won't resist me." Xuanyuanchen said the last sentence, which was a little aggrieved. It was true that Lan Ruoyan rushed him every time she wanted to lose her temper. In the past, she didn't care about it, so it didn't matter. Now if Lan Ruoyan vented her anger on him again, he should probably feel innocent.

"Your Majesty, on Gem Mountain, you don't believe that Brother Su and I have feelings for you. Then I'm telling you now. In fact, I don't believe that you have feelings for me. Lan Ruoyan stared at Xuanyuanchen. If you want to know whether he is sincere, let's see how he will decide. "As you said, my eldest brother and I only have a divine friendship and don't care, but you are in a noble position, and you have three wives and four concubines long before you met me. So many women are scrambling to be spoiled. How can the prince treat me wholeheartedly?

"Yan'er, you..." Lan Ruoyan's words were pompously, and Xuanyuanchen felt guilty. Since ancient times, men's and women's love has required one heart and sincerity. But he and Lan Ruoyan seemed to be a little unfair from the beginning.

"If you really care about me and really want me to go back, take all the women in the backyard!" Lan Ruoyan made up her mind and simply said, "I can't accept a man with three wives and four concubines. You let me love you. If I really love you, how can I stand to share you with other women? Love is unique.

After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan asked, "Yan'er, if I divorce those women, would you like to go back with me?"

"Of course!" Lan Ruoyan replied without hesitation, "The reason why I don't want to treat the royal palace is that I don't want to see those women!" Otherwise, she will still be a rice worm princess in the royal palace.

"The prince will not suffer from doing this." Just like modern couples, they can still divorce and live separately after their marriage breaks down, thinking that although it is sad, it is true.

"Then let's make a deal. I'll take the book to exchange it for you!" Xuanyuanchen said to Lan Ruoyan and turned away, with a firm back without any hesitation.

At this time, Lan Ruofeng, Wen Wei and Su Mu also returned from the West Lake in turn. Lan Ruofeng saw Su Mu's solemn face along the way, thinking about whether it was for his sister's business. So he went to the back and said to him, "Mu, the snow scenery of West Lake really lives up to its reputation! Isn't it? Unfortunately, there are not many beautiful women. I don't know which Jiangnan beauties have gone, and there are--

"Xiaofeng, I want to be quiet now." Su Mu did have something on her mind, which is also because of the smoke, but it is not for Xuanyuan Chen.

"Ah." Lan Ruofeng was shocked to see Su Mu's helplessness.

"Wh! Look! Isn't that the prince?" Wen Wei pointed to Xuanyuan Chen, who was on the carriage in front of him.

"Hmm?" Lan Ruofeng and Su Mu looked at each other when they heard the words.

Xuanyuanchen got into the carriage and was about to enter the carriage when he heard Lan Ruoyan's cry, "Your Majesty!"

"Smoke?" Xuanyuan Chen looked back at the gate.

Lan Ruoyan stopped to look at him, hesitated, and said, " Take care all the way."

Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "The smoke is precious."

After saying that, he got into the carriage, and the coachman whipped the horse and set off.

Wen Wei saw the scene of the two saying goodbye from afar and intuitively felt that they were getting better and better together. She thought foolishly that if one day she married Lan Ruofeng and he went out, would she also stand at the door to see her husband off like her sister? She said to him, " Take care", and he went back to her to "cherish" and then saw the carriage leave.

And later, Lan Ruofeng and Su Mu, who also witnessed everything, had their own thoughts.

Lan Ruofeng thought that Xuanyuanchen and his sister were quite husband and wife, but his friends also belonged to his sister. Alas, which side should he help at that time? Yuqing naturally wants to help Su Mu and complete a pair of talented and beautiful women. Yu Li should obey the etiquette and persuade his sister to return to Xuanyuan Chen and become a noble princess.

Time passed quietly. After sending Xuanyuan Chen away, Lan Ruoyan became silent. When talking to Wen Wei, he will be distracted for no reason. When eating, he only eats the rice in the bowl, and the dishes on the table have never stretched out their chopsticks. When Su Muhuo or Lan Ruofeng called her, she didn't seem to hear it.

"Hey, sister, have you cultivated to the realm of selflessness that the master said? It seems that you are too empty to travel today?" Wen Wei looked at Lan Ruoyan's dull appearance and couldn't help joking.

When Lan Ruoyan heard this, she really wanted to teach Wen Wei a lesson. She didn't want to taste the tea after dinner and smiled, "This is bad. Your sister is committing lovesickness."

"Ha?! Is it Prince Sichen?" Wen Wei said with a smile.

"Cough!" Hearing Wen Wei say this, Lan Ruofeng quickly coughed and warned her to stop. Then he looked at her again, sister, Su Mu was still beside her.

"Ah ha, I'll go and see what to cook in the evening." Wen Wei looked at Lan Ruofeng's eyes and immediately understood. She awkwardly got up and went to the kitchen.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Lan Ruoyan also got up to go there. Now she also feels very embarrassed in the face of Su Mu. How can she tell him to give up on himself?

"Smoke." Su Mu got up and called her.

Her body was stunned. Lan Ruoyan knew that she couldn't avoid it. She turned to face Su Mu, sighed and said, "Brother Su."

"Come with me. I have something to say to you." Su Mu nodded and looked at her carefully.

"Hmm." Lan Ruoyan nodded and followed Su Mu to the study.

Bear, the old urchin looked at their backs and just shook his head, "The infatuated man hurt himself..."

"Why did Elder Mo say this?" Lan Ruofeng was shocked when he heard the words. What the old naughty boy meant was that between Su Mu and his sister, it was just Su Mu's wishful thinking?

"There is a fixed number in the dark. If no one is emotional, he will definitely be able to hold the beautiful woman. The old naughty boy said this, without being sad about the past, and after a sigh, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Senior Mo, please stay." Lan Ruofeng stopped him.

Huh? What's the matter, Mr. Lan?" The old urchin looked back at Lan Ruofeng.

"This...is like this. I have held an important position in the capital. Now that I have been out for a long time, and it is almost the deadline for leave--" Lan Ruofeng wanted to stop talking, and he wanted to take Wen Wei to the capital to see his father.

The old urchin looked at Lan Ruofeng. In fact, he didn't know about Wen Yao and him, but is the two of them really suitable? He asked, "Ms. Lan, my disciple Wen Wei fell in love with you. But Mr. Lan, you answered me carefully. If you marry Wen Wei one day in the future, can you treat her alone for the rest of your life?"

Lan Ruofeng understood that the old naughty boy meant that he would only marry Wen Wei in his life, but as the only son of a general, he would have to inherit his father's business in the future. At that time, he was in a high position, and his wife must say that he wanted a noble lady... He may not be worthy of her in the end.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Wen Wei brought a box of dry longan and asked strangely when she saw the two of them confronting each other like that. The atmosphere is so serious.

"It's okay."

"It's okay"......

Wen Wei was puzzled and too lazy to think about it. She said, "I'll give this to my sister and Mr. Su to eat. They must be very embarrassed to speak. I'll go to calm them down. Hey hey..." After saying that, he ran out with the food box.

Seeing her leave, Lan Ruofeng looked at the old naughty boy and said earnestly, "Elder Mo, it's late."

The old naughty boy shook his head and said nothing more. He turned upstairs. How much can he control of this young generation?

Lan Ruoyan and Su Mu sat at the bamboo table for a long time and finally decided to express their position: "Brother Su, I have something to say to you."

"Well, I know." Su Mu nodded. His attitude was light and he couldn't see his inner emotions.

"Brother Su, you know your feelings for Yaner. However, I have to tell you that I am full of panic about love, and it is difficult for me to accept a person's sincerity, whether it is for you or the prince.

"I know these, Yaner, I know your mood, but I can't stop my love for you." Su Mu did not look at Lan Ruoyan. He only looked up at the monotonous sky without clouds in the sky. He was afraid that it would be more uncomfortable to see Lan Ruoyan now.

"Yan'er herself is already a princess, that is, a married woman. Even if she is with Brother Su, she will only humiliate the life of the Su family and the etiquette family." What Lan Ruoyan said is the truth. Even in the 21st century, her current relationship with Su Mu can be said to be humiliating. "In the world, there will always be enough women to hold hands with Brother Su. Brother Su, don't delay your life for Yaner."

Su Mu was confused when he heard the words. He was deeply in love with Lan Ruoyan and only thought about it without hesitation, but there was no time to worry about her thoughts, but she thought about him everywhere. She was ashamed for a moment, but she did not let go easily, so she promised Lan Ruoyan: "I will wait for you until you make a real choice. I'm deciding to stay."

"Brother Su." Lan Ruoyan's eyes trembled slightly. In this case, is this man still so attached to his love? But Su Mu, I may have defeated you...

In the dark, Wen Yao's hand holding the food box couldn't help tightening. She heard the words of Lan Ruoyan and Su Mu. The junior sister looks so painful, and Mr. Su also has a hard time. Shouldn't love make people happy?

At night, the five people in the room sat around the table for dinner, but they had their own thoughts. Lan Ruofeng put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "I've finished eating."

"Hmm. Me too." Lan Ruoyan also put down her bowls and chopsticks and looked at Lan Ruofeng, "I want to go back to Beijing to see my father."

"Hmm?" Lan Ruofeng took a strange look at her and thought that her sister had left the capital for many days. It was time to miss home. So he nodded, "Okay, my father has been thinking about us for a long time, and he wrote a few days ago that he wanted me to take you back earlier. Father said that if your sister really doesn't want to go back to the royal palace, you can live in the general's mansion, which will always be your home.
