Reborn Princess

"Fu Fu." Zhou Cechen called her.

So Shen Yanlan responded to him softly over and over again.

"Say it again what you just called me."

Shen Lilan raised his head and was tortured by Zhou Cechen kissing his neck.

"Officer."

"No."

A name flashed through Shen Lilan's mind, but he felt a little ashamed to say it.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhou Cechen sucked her earlobe as if to punish her.

Shen Yanlan felt her body getting hot, and she called him "Teacher" in a tender voice.

Zhou Cechen's eyes were obscure and unclear.

……

There was nothing on the dressing table except the bronze mirror which was still swaying on the table.

The bronze mirror reflected two tightly overlapping human figures. After an unknown amount of time, the bronze mirror finally stabilized.

But on the bed in Shen Lilan's warm room, one could see the swaying bed curtains.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

"Whose little boy are you?"

Qin Ji opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him without saying a word.

"Madam, the young master has been in the temple for three days and no one has come to look for him." The maid reported to Madam Wu.

Mrs. Wu, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha, glanced to the side and saw someone hiding behind a pillar, staring at her.

Thinking of her sick daughter, her heart ached.

"Come here." Mrs. Wu called the child over. Everyone thought that the child would not come over because he ignored everyone.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ji walked slowly to Madam Wu's side.

"Where are your parents?" Mrs. Wu got up from the mat and leaned over to ask him.

Qin Ji shook his head and said nothing.

"You can't speak." Mrs. Wu asked.

Qin Ji still looked at her without saying anything.

Mrs. Wu looked at the little guy who was dressed in expensive clothes but was covered in dirt, and she thought of taking him back.

The Taoist priest who was invited for Qinghe the day before said that she was destined to have a disaster and needed someone to ward off evil for her. However, no matter how she asked, the Taoist priest never told her who that person was.

Thinking of her child who was less than three years old but was hanging on for life every day, Mrs. Wu looked at Qin Ji again: "Are you willing to come back with me?"

Qin Ji nodded but remained silent.

After that day, Qin Ji followed Madam Wu back home.

At first, he was just a little book boy of Marquis Yongyi. He ground ink and prepared paper for him every day. Half a month later, Marquis Yongyi discovered that the child could read.

Qin Ji had no name when he was brought into the mansion, and he never mentioned his surname or family. But Madam Wu had selfish thoughts. She brought the child back at first just to hope that her daughter would recover soon.

So, he got a name after coming to Ye Mansion - Ji'an.

I hope Qinghe can recover from his chronic illness soon.

But what no one expected was that half a year later, Ye Qinghe's illness was really cured.

Mrs. Wu was naturally very happy. She only had this one daughter in her life and she treated her like a treasure.

Everyone in the mansion said that Ji'an was a lucky star and had really brought bad luck to the young lady, so the Ye family decided to adopt the child as their own.

When Ye Jian'an was nine years old, he was included in the Ye family tree and was known to the outside world as the eldest son of the Ye family.

He knew that since he was named Ye and included in the family tree, he would live his whole life for Ye Qinghe.

May she turn misfortune into good fortune and encounter disasters with luck.

Ye Jianan woke up from his dream and was stunned to see the pitch-black room.

It was clear that he hadn't had a dream for many years, but since the last time Ye Qinghe fell into the water, he had this dream almost every night.

He dreamed that his parents died in a fire and his sister was kidnapped by thieves. He also dreamed that after he was brought back to the Ye family, little Ye Qinghe stretched out her white and tender little hand to hold his and call him brother.

Ye Jian'an could no longer fall asleep after waking up from his dream. His eyes became dark as he thought about the kiss Ye Qinghe gave him in the water.

Now that they were brother and sister, it was doomed to be impossible.

The Ye family raised him for more than ten years, and he lived his whole life for the Ye family and for Ye Qinghe.

Even his own name came from Ye Qinghe.

He would love and protect her, but it could only be the love and care of a brother.

……

The next day, Shen Lanlan woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the pattern of the bed curtain above her head. This was her Xiao Lanxuan.

Thinking of yesterday, she closed her eyes again. It was the first time she did this in her own yard.

Shen Xilan propped herself up and got up. There was no one beside her. She looked outside and saw that it was already bright, but she had no idea what time it was.

"Lunong." Shen Yanlan shouted.

When Lu Nong came in, she saw Shen Yanlan sitting on the bed in a daze. "My queen, you're awake."

Shen Yanlan asked: "What time is it?"

"My lady, it's noon."

"It's noon?" Shen Xilan didn't expect that she could sleep so long. However, when she saw Lu Nong, she saw her looking at her with a smile.

"The prince has ordered that the queen's rest should not be disturbed."

Shen Lilan covered his face.

"Where is the prince?" she asked.

"The prince is in the study. I will go and invite him right away." Lu Nong replied.

"Hey, wait a minute." Shen Lilan called out to Lu Nong who was about to go out.

"You... don't have to call him." Shen Lilan thought about what happened last night and was too embarrassed to see him now.

Lu Nong didn't know why, but she nodded anyway.

"Your Majesty, Liuchun went out again today." Lu Nong said in a low voice.

Shen Xilan curled her lips after hearing this. If she had any brains, she would have known that the daily surveillance had been exposed long ago.

"When did she go out?"

"An hour ago."

Shen Yanlan nodded, "Let me wash up first."

"Yes."

……

In Shou'an Hall, Wang Ciyuan looked coldly at Liu Chun who was being slapped.

"You useless thing, what use do I have for you? Is this what you mean by having a secret meeting with a stranger and having a relationship breakdown?"

Liu Chun was beaten so hard that he was shaking: "Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me."

"How many more slaps are there?" Wang Ciyuan asked.

"Madam, there are still twenty slaps left." Wang Ciyuan looked at her red face and said, "Slap her somewhere else so that no one can see it."

"Yes."

Shen Xilan's waist was really sore today, so she asked Chaoyun to move a chair for her so that she could sit at the back door and wait for Liuchun.

As soon as Liuchun entered the room, he ran into Shen Lilan who was guarding the door.

"Empress." She looked at Shen Lilan and the person standing behind her in surprise.

"Where are you going?" Shen Lilan asked her.

"go……"

"go……"

"You can't tell, so I'll tell you. You went to the Shen residence, didn't you?"

"No, I didn't," Liu Chun denied immediately.

Shen Lilan was not angry. She glanced at her and said, "You were beaten like this but still kept it a secret for the old lady. It seems that she has done you a lot of good things."

"No, Your Majesty, please believe in me. I didn't..." Liu Chun knelt down and shook his head.

"Let me think about it. Pushing me into the water, drugging the prince, placing calligraphy and paintings in the carriage, and reporting my daily whereabouts to the old lady..."

"Is this enough for you to plead guilty, Liuchun?" Shen Lilan paused as he looked at the man kneeling on the ground.

"Use your brain, Liuchun, you don't think I know nothing, do you?"
