A silly girl is reborn, and a ruthless prince loves her

In order to survive, more than 20 years ago, the Lan family had no choice but to pay tribute to Concubine Lan, who was still the head of the family at the time, to the old emperor of the Qingyun Kingdom who was over seventy years old and had few heirs. Pay tribute to the head of the family in Qingyun Kingdom for ten years.

Since having sex with Concubine Lan, the old emperor's body has changed greatly. He seems to have returned to his twenties and thirties, full of vitality and energy. Concubine Lan and other concubines were pregnant one after another.

The old emperor did not know whether he had become immortal or not, but he was already a hundred years old and had a strong body and steady steps, without any signs of aging.

Therefore, the old emperor attributed his physical abnormalities to Concubine Lan. He believed that marrying a woman from the Lan family could really rejuvenate a man and prolong his life, so he loved Concubine Lan very much.

Twenty years later, when Lan Shu was sent as a tribute, the old emperor did not include her in the harem, but gave her an extremely noble status - a saint. In Qingyun Kingdom, disrespecting the saint means disrespecting the emperor. It's disrespectful, so Lan Shu's status in Qingyun Kingdom can be said to be lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people.

According to him, he has lived enough in this life, and it is time to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his title. Having Concubine Lan and a daughter of the Lan family is enough in this life, so Lan Shu should be left to his sons.

Therefore, the princes competed openly and covertly for Lan Shu and tried their best to win her favor.

However, the extremely beautiful Lan Shu fell in love with Xuanyuan Qing, a prince with a despicable background, and turned a blind eye to their overtures.

"The emperor's uncle learned that the second prince was returning today and specially ordered me to come. He announced that the second prince would be here immediately without any delay."

Lan Shu was always gentle in her dealings with others, and she also left a reputation as gentle, virtuous and considerate.

However, at this time, she deliberately raised her voice, which was clear, loud, and resounding, just right for everyone present to hear.

"Sixth Prince, I'm afraid you have to give the emperor a reasonable explanation for what happened here." She pointedly looked at the blinded archery expert who was lifted off the city wall, as well as the cannons stacked on the city wall.

Xuanyuan He's heart skipped a beat.

Xuanyuan Qing didn't get rid of her, but instead caused herself a lot of trouble, which was really embarrassing.

Lan Shu nodded and stopped without saying anything more. She walked past him with a gentle step and stepped out of the city gate.

"Go and check who the Saint has seen today and what she has said." Xuanyuan He ordered the guards who were standing nearby.

In order to make today's plan foolproof, he deliberately led the saint to Gaotaishan this morning. It was he who saw her out of the city gate with his own eyes. Why did she appear in the city now?

A little eunuch hurriedly appeared at the city gate. He was out of breath and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.

When he came to Xuanyuan He, he didn't even have time to take a breath, and said anxiously: "Sixth Prince, the Emperor has announced that you are entering the palace for questioning."

Xuanyuan He recognized this as the young eunuch beside his father, who seemed to be named Xiao Linzi.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Xiao Linzi urged in a thin voice, "Oh, little ancestor, come with our family quickly. The emperor is very angry. You must be careful what you say later."

He ignored the rules and pulled Xuanyuan He and ran back, muttering as he ran, "The Prime Minister and the Minister of War are already in the imperial study. This matter has become a big deal today."

Lan Shu walked up to Xuanyuan Qing and was about to say hello with a smile when she noticed that he was holding a woman in his arms.

Her smile froze on her face, and she stared straight at Lan Jinyan, her pupils contracted sharply, and her face turned pale.

Lan Jinyan?

Why is she here?

Realizing her gaffe, she quickly straightened her expression and said with a smile: "Second prince, thank you for your hard work. The emperor's uncle knows the news of your successful return and is anxious to see you."

"Thank you." Xuanyuan Qing glanced at her lightly, picked up Lan Jinyan and walked towards the city gate.

How could Lan Shu not know what he was thanking, but she didn't want to see him being so attached to her.

Which of the other princes would not be attentive to her?

He always kept a cold distance from her.

Everyone in the Qingyun Kingdom knew that Lan Shu admired him, Xuanyuan Qing, so he not only pretended to be deaf and dumb, but also treated her many times with a cold shoulder.

It's simply disrespectful.

However, what could be done? Who made her fall in love with this man with no identity background, but outstanding appearance and strong ability at a glance.

He can kill tigers and ferocious beasts with his bare hands, clap his hands to disrupt the situation in the DPRK, and stamp his feet to bring about earth-shaking changes in Qingyun Country.

More importantly, he has the support of that man behind him.

Instead of choosing other princes with mediocre qualifications, it would be better to choose this high-quality man who climbed out of the quagmire.

Her Lan Shu's man must be someone with a strong background, strong tactics, and a smart mind. Xuanyuan Qing meets these requirements.

"Are you going to take her into the palace just like this?" Lan Shu quickly followed, jealous anger flashing from her eyes, "The emperor's uncle is very disgusted with women of unknown origin."

"If the emperor's uncle gets angry with you because of this, your hard work this time will be in vain."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do. How about leaving her to me and I will take care of her?"

"She looks quite thin. Did she not eat well or sleep well along the way?"

Lan Shu kept chattering next to him, showing no sign of being dignified and elegant in front of others.

Xuanyuan Qing paused, weighed the almost weightless woman in his arms, pondered for a moment, tilted his head and said to her, "Thank you."

"It's okay." Lan Shu couldn't help but curve her lips, and motioned to the maids around her to take the woman in his arms, pretending to ask casually: "Seeing that you are so nervous about her, who is this girl?"

It seems that he still cares about merit. Lan Jinyan probably doesn't have a very important position in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't entrust the person to her.

Lan Shu couldn't help but feel relieved and asked about his relationship with Lan Jinyan in a roundabout way.

"When she wakes up, please ask the saint to take her to Shilixiang for dinner. The expense will be charged to my account." Xuanyuan Qing did not answer her words, and his eyes fell softly on the sleeping Lan Jinyan's face.

This girl should be hungry when she wakes up. It's not that he can't take her into the palace, but he doesn't know when she will come out after entering the palace. It's not an option to let her wait for him hungry.

Lan Shu was right, she was really thin and should be taken good care of.

After handing Lan Jinyan to the maid, Xuanyuan Qing led Mo An straight towards the palace.

Mo An followed him for a distance and then spoke hesitantly, "Is it really okay to hand over Miss Yan to the Saint? Just now, my subordinates saw that the Saint looked at Miss Yan with resentment in their eyes. They don't know each other, right? , or the kind of enemy?"

Mo An didn't have a good impression of Lan Shu, who was pretentious and pretentious.

Especially when she was talking to the second prince, she had to speak in a low voice, which made his skin crawl.
