Chapter 6: Three Thousand and One Squee

"All right! I'm wrong! Let me go." Lan Ruoyan dodged and begged for mercy.

"I've let you go! Go and tell your brother not to marry that noble lady!" Wen Wei thought that Lan Ruofeng was bulging again,

"Bear by the way, I don't know who Princess Guimu is." Lan Ruoyan thought of the business, went to Wen Wei's side, pulled her down, and asked quietly, "Sister, why did you quarrel with your brother? Haven't you always been obedient to him?"

"Hmm! I was going to go out to see him this morning, but I heard him tell your father about Princess Guimu..." Wen Wei concisely gave the Empress Dowager the marriage Yunyun, and the Guimu Princess Nangong Jinzhi Yunyun told Lan Ruoyan.

After listening to this, Lan Ruoyan frowned and said, "Sister, if the Empress Dowager really orders, I'm afraid my brother will have to obey."

"Then he is unfaithful to me!" Wen Wei was anxious when she heard this and scolded angrily.

Sister, listen to me. Whether it is officials and eunuchs or imperial relatives, they can't disobey the imperial edict or the imperial edict of the empress dowager. Otherwise, it is tantamount to seeking death! The Empress Dowager wants to marry her own niece to her brother, which is to attract her brother. If the elder brother is not allowed to resist the decree, won't she be given the same opportunity to criminalize her brother or even in the general's mansion? Lan Ruoyan knew that Wen Yao did not understand so many official principles, so he could only harden his heart to tell her this truth. If Lan Ruofeng really had a hot mind and eloped with Wen Yao for a while, it would be his father who was unlucky.

"What's more, even if the senior sister eloped with her brother, it was Wang Tu all over the world, but why did she want to live that life?" Lan Ruoyan advised bitterly, "Sister, as long as the Empress Dowager has no decree, you still have a glimmer of life."

"Vength?! What else is good vitality!? You said it was so difficult to walk, so I'd better quit earlier!" Wen Wei was sulking. Sure enough, she couldn't get used to this official eunuch family! After saying that, she got up and went to the room to pack up.

"Sister, what are you doing!" Lan Ruoyan was shocked and hurriedly got up and walked over to hold Wen Wei's hand. Lan Ruofeng invited her to persuade people. As a result, she persuaded everyone away.

"Sister, I'll find the master and go back to Jiangnan." Wen Wei said, broke away from Lan Ruoyan's hand and continued to pack her clothes. After she packed her bag and took the sword on the table on her shoulder, she went straight out.

"Brother! Stop the senior sister!" Lan Ruoyan knew that she couldn't pull it, so she quickly shouted at Lan Ruofeng outside.

Wen Ruofeng just stepped out of the door. Lan Ruofeng heard Lan Ruoyan's voice and quickly stepped forward to pull Wen Wei, "Wen Yao, why are you leaving?"

"You let go!" Wen Yao wants to get Lan Ruofeng's hand, "If I want to stay and leave, it's not your turn to take care of it! Let go!"

"I won't let you go!" Lan Ruofeng refused to let go, "I won't let you go!" Are all the words you said that you fell in love with me false?!"

Wen Wei's body was shocked. When she was infatuated with Lan Ruofeng, didn't she think that as long as she could be with him? But in the end, she couldn't stand the other women around him. An unspeakable sadness enveloped her heart, and she looked at Lan Ruofeng's eyes covered with moisture. I said it, but now... I regret it."

Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but panic when he saw her like this, "Wen Yao--"

Lan Ruoyan walked out and saw this scene, and she didn't feel a little sad. Obviously, the two were affectionate and righteous, but God intended to play tricks on people.

When the two were looking at each other and were speechless, a servant ran from the courtyard and bowed to Lan Ruofeng and Lan Ruoyan. "Young master, princess, His Royal Highness the King of Qi and Princess Guimu visited, and the general asked you to pick up the guests."

Huh? Lan Ruoyan was stunned. How can you say that Cao Cao will arrive? She frowned and looked at Lan Ruofeng, who nodded to her and motioned to go there together. But when I saw Wen Yao again, I was a little worried.

"Brother, stay, I'll go and have a look first. Brother, you follow me later." Lan Ruoyan thought it would be better to let Lan Ruofeng and Wen Wei be alone.

"Hmm. My sister explained to her father. Lan Ruofeng said helplessly.

"I know, brother, this is what Yaner should do." Lan Ruoyan smiled, so she walked to the main courtyard, and the little butterfly who had been waiting beside her also followed her a few steps.

When he came to the main hall, Lan Ruoyan saw Nangong Shen, the king of Qi, and Nangong Jinzhi, the king of Guimu. Because Lan Ruoyan was the imperial concubine of the royal family, the father and daughter of the king of Qi got up and saluted her, and even Lan Qifeng let her sit on the throne. Lan Ruoyan knew that this was a necessary etiquette, and she was not used to it.

"Father, don't be so restrained at home. Brother, come here later if you have something to do. Lan Ruoyan's euphemistic explanation, Lan Qifeng nodded and did not ask.

Next, when Lan Ruoyan talked to them, she deliberately observed Nangong Jinzhi and found that she was not only good-to-behave, but also had beautiful eyes, and her speech and manners were crisp. It seems that she is a good woman. If she marries a wife, she is indeed the best choice. After all, Lan Ruofeng has a warm heart.

At this time, Lan Ruofeng came over from the backyard with an expression as usual, and there was no clue at all. Nangong Shen met Lan Ruofeng earlier and knew that he was extraordinary and liked such a descendant very much. He looked at his daughter and wanted to see what Nangong Jinzhi thought.

Nangong Jinzhi knew what his father meant, but he only laughed and said nothing. Naturally, the Lan family's sister and brother also saw the communication between their father and daughter. Lan Ruoyan then said to Nangong Jinzhi, "How about Princess Guimu walk to the backyard with me?"

When Nangong Jinzhi heard the words, he immediately replied, "Okay." She didn't mean to be Lan Ruofeng. Compared with him, she was more interested in Princess Chen Lan Ruoyan.

The two walked to the backyard. The snow had melted and the weather was still a little dry and cold. Xiaodie was worried that Lan Ruoyan's hands would be cold, so she handed her the prepared heater. Mother, warm your hands."

"It doesn't matter. I don't feel cold now." Lan Ruoyan shook his head.

"Mother, you'd better bring a heater. If you catch a cold, the prince will blame the maidservant for not serving you well." Xiaodie begged Lan Ruoyan with a bitter face.

Thinking that Xuanyuanchen is now offering her as a national treasure, Lan Ruoyan smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, bring it here."

Nangong Jinzhi has always been observing words and colors. Listening to Xiaodie's words, he knew that Lan Ruoyan was spoiled by King Chen. I can't help but observe Lan Ruoyan more carefully and want to see what attracts her.

"When I look at Princess Guimu, I know that you are an extraordinary woman. I don't know what the princess thinks about lifelong events?" Lan Ruoyan asked tentatively.

"Marriage is the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker. No matter how many opinions Jinzhi has, he still has to follow the arrangement of his elders. Nangong Jinzhi answered very formally, but unfortunately, these were not what she thought.

"Oh?" This answer is false. Lan Ruoyan knows that a smart woman is not willing to be at the mercy of others. What's more, Nangong Jinzhi really can't see that she is a person who will obediently obey her parents' orders.

"To tell the truth, the empress dowager once signaled her father to give Jinzhi to Major General Lan, but--" Nangong Jinzhi wanted to say something but stopped.

"But it doesn't matter. Now you and I have the right to talk privately." Lan Ruoyan saw that she was worried, so she motioned that she didn't have to worry.

"Jinzhi said that Major General Lan didn't seem to have any special regard for Jinzhi and didn't show any affection. I'm afraid that even if Jinzhi enters the door in the future, he may not be able to please his son-in-law..." Nangong Jinzhi said this truthfully and then carefully inspected Lan Ruoyan's expression.

"My brother has a heart. If you just marry under the decree of the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid you will be cold to Princess Guimu." Lan Ruoyan said this when she saw that Nangong Jinzhi had said it herself.

Jinzhi didn't want to marry Lan Ruofeng, so he pushed the boat along the water. "In this way, Jinzhi can't marry Major General Lan. Since he already has someone in his heart, wouldn't it be difficult for him..." The Empress Dowager made it clear, so as not to tear down a pair of lovers by mistake.

"That's good. It won't delay both of you." Lan Ruoyan didn't expect to achieve her goal so soon. Nangong Jinzhi said so, and she had to say it.

Looking at Nangong Jinzhi's weak appearance, he has a good impression on her, but he also suspects that the daughter of the official eunuch's family will be so simple?

At night, Nangong Jinzhi and her father Nangong Jinzhi left the general's mansion. On the way back to Qi Wang's mansion, she told her father about her conversation with Lan Ruoyan in the backyard and said, "In this way, the daughter has only one choice. Father, father, how much do you know about Princess Chen?"

"Since Princess Chen married into Chen's mansion, she has been constantly making trouble with big and small things, but the most surprising thing is that she has only been away from home for two years and has been away from home for nearly a year. No one knows where she has gone, as if King Chen blocked the news. As soon as she came back, King Chen retired all the concubines in the backyard for her. Dudu left the pregnant Shaofei, who was the daughter of King Hui and the princess of Shaohua in those years! She has both talent and appearance, but it's a pity that after Princess Chen entered the house, King Chen rarely asked her. Alas, this Princess Chen was taught by Lan Qifeng, and she must not be a simple woman. Nangong Shen frowned and looked at Nangong Jinzhi again, "If you want to enter the Chen Palace, I'm afraid she will pass the first pass!"

After listening to this, Nangong Jinzhi couldn't stop being afraid of Lan Ruoyan. However, she prefers to challenge Lan Ruoyan, because she is not the kind of woman who is willing to succumb to others. Daughter understands, father, tomorrow we will go to the palace together and ask the empress dowager to marry me to Xuanyuanchen as a side concubine, right?

"Before the Empress Dowager married you to Lan Ruofeng, you have to say it. The sooner the better." Nangong nodded.

The next day, the mother and daughter of the Nangong family entered the palace and pleaded with the Empress Dowager to marry Nangong Jinzhi to Xuanyuanchen as a side concubine. The beautiful name is to make Xuanyuan Chen's backyard catch fire. The Empress Dowager was already restless because of the disappearance of the prince. She sensed the intentions of Nangong Jinzhi, but she could not break it. Nangong's family is her last guarantee, and she can't lose people's hearts because of this. And if Nangong Jinzhi can become a noble concubine or queen in the future, he can also protect the glory of the Nangong family. Therefore, he agreed to Nangong Jinzhi's request.

At noon on this day, Xuanyuanchen was still eating in Lanxin Pavilion. Hearing Lan Ruoyan talk about the general's mansion yesterday, the Empress Dowager's decree arrived.

"Empress dowager Yi's decree, Nangong Jinzhixiu, the princess of Guimu, was educated and ceremonial. She specially gave Nangong Jinzhi as the 'Concubine Ye', the side concubine of King Chen, and chose the 12 auspicious day of this month to marry her. I admire this." Lan Ruoyan was stunned when she heard it. Sure enough, Nangong Jinzhi is not a good stubble! In addition to being surprised, he is also a little angry. He really knows everyone's face and doesn't know his heart!

Xuanyuanchen also quickly restrained his eyebrows after receiving the order. What medicine did the Empress Dowager sell in the gourd? She said that she would marry Nangong Jinzhi and Lan Ruofeng. On the other hand, he ordered Nangong Jinzhi to grant him as a side concubine?

Let's not talk about whether Xuanyuanchen wants to marry this Nangong Jinzhi. The first thing he thought of was that Lan Ruoyan saw him divorce his concubine. As a result, he had another side concubine. He didn't know how to bear it. He went to see Lan Ruoyan, who turned his head and left without saying a word.

This matter soon spread to Shaofei Liu Yuying. After reporting the news, Luo Er secretly smiled and said, "God is going to punish Princess Chen. Who made her have no tolerance!"

Liu Yuying looked at Luoer coldly and said in a low voice, "The prince will marry Nangong Jinzhi, but because of the Empress Dowager Yi's decree. What about one more side concubine? So many ladies in the past are no match for Princess Chen, not to mention that one.

"Ah, it's the slave's stupid and wrong judgment." Luo'er saw that Liu Yuting's face was not happy, and she knew that what she had just said was not in place, and quickly admitted her mistake in a low voice.

"One more side concubine has nothing to do with it." Liu Yuling said indifferently, looked down at her raised abdomen and stroked, "Luoer, have I asked you to go to the doctor to prescribe the medicine?"

"It has been completed. Specially looking for the prescription of Dr. Liang of the Tai Hospital, but Dr. Liang said that this prescription may be very unfavorable to the fetus..." Luo'er approached Liu Yuling and replied in a low voice.

"If this child can protect me, it will be worth it even if he dies." Liu Yuling gritted her teeth and grabbed the edge of her clothes. "Who let him have a ruthless father and ignore our mother and son for another woman!"

Her words are full of hatred. If Xuanyuan Chen can still treat her as usual, why does she need to prolong her pregnancy to maintain her position in the royal palace? Xuanyuanchen spoiled Lan Ruoyan. Even if she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, Lan Ruoyan would not allow her. Then her ten-year-old child who had been pregnant might be taken away, and then swept her out of the door, which was useless.

"The Empress is angry." Seeing that Liu Yuling wanted to be angry, Luo'er hurriedly advised, "The prince's great career is about to be completed, and the Empress only needs to wait until the prince's canonization. At that time, it is enough for the mother to keep her name with her son. After that, she can rest assured."

took a deep breath, and Liu Yuling tried her best to control her emotions. She looked at Luo'er and said, "How long did Dr. Liang said it could be extended?"

"Dr. Liang said that the empress's fetus is full month old, and it is forced to use drugs to protect the fetus from giving birth, and it can only last for one month at most, otherwise adults and children may be in danger." Luo'er frowned, and she was also worried about her master.

"January is enough for the prince to seize the throne, let's do so for the time being." Liu Yuzhen closed her eyes. As long as she keeps her position now, she can still give birth to a child in the future. If she cares about this, she will lose that. I'm sorry, kid. His hands stroked his abdomen again, and the corners of his eyes were moist. Which mother is willing to harm her child?

The day of marrying Nangong Jinzhi is coming soon. The whole palace has been well taken care of and not too heavy. Low-down people also know that the prince doesn't care much about the new side concubine, so they have done some superficial efforts to make outsiders feel grand. During this period, Lan Ruoyan looked at the people coming in and out to prepare for marrying Nangong Jinzhi, and she felt depressed, but she didn't say anything. Xiaodie followed her every day and saw that she was so depressed, worried and distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

On this day, the day before Nangong Jinzhi entered the door, Lan Ruoyan sat in the Lanxin Pavilion and was in a daze. Xiaodie came in excitedly from the outside and said to Lan Ruoyan, "Mother, Lord Su is coming!"

Su Mu?! What is he doing now? Lan Ruoyan's heart stagnated, but still let Xiaodie lead Su Mu in. She and Su Mu have met less since they returned to the capital. Every time they met, he also kissed Gui'an? She replied that she was just safe. However, his eyes were still gentle and considerate, which made her feel at ease and guilty.

"See Princess Chen." Su Mu entered Lanxin Pavilion and saluted Lan Ruoyan humbly.

"Brother Su, don't be polite. What's the matter today?" Lan Ruoyan rubbed her hands and looked up at Su Mu. Her cheeks were also a little crimson by charcoal fire, and she looked more watery and energetic.

"Can't you come to see the princess for nothing else?" Su Mu asked with a faint smile.

"Naturally not..." Lan Ruoyan denied that she saw that the weather outside was fine, and her gloomy mood was slightly better. These days, she is a little melancholy because of Nangong Jinzhi. She didn't expect a 16-year-old woman to have such a heavy scheman in ancient times.

"When the prince marries Concubine Ye, the Empress must be calm and cherished." Su Mu quietly comforted Lan Ruoyan, "The future is long, and the Empress's eyes should not be here."

Hearing Su Mu's words, Lan Ruoyan squeezed her lips and smiled and said, "Brother Su, don't worry, Yaner understands."

The two said something again. Su Mu said that the carp platform still had something to deal with, so he left. After Lan Ruoyan saw him leave, her mood returned to her original gloomy mood. With her mood, is it time to have a fine winter rain like the lingering spring rain in March now?

The next day, the sound of firecrackers and the festive music sounded loudly. Lan Ruoyan still held the heater and turned over Liu Yong's poetry collection on the desk. She felt more and more bored and panicked. Xiaodie brought Chuanbei rock sugar snow pear for her and whispered, "My mother's voice is a little uncomfortable these days, and I specially asked the kitchen to make Sichuanbei rock sugar snow pear. Mother, let's eat some."

"Hmm. Let it go." Lan Ruoyan looked up at the cooked Sydney in the bowl, and the light yellow color of rock sugar water became more and more crystal clear. It seems that she can feel the sweet taste without eating it, but unfortunately she has no appetite now.

"Yes." Xiaodie was a little disappointed and gently put Chuanbei rock candy Sydney on the table.
