The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]
Chapter 25 Blocking the Sword
The Prime Minister's Mansion is quite large, and the Hehuan Pond occupies half of the original mansion, and there are rockeries beside the pool, and the end cannot be seen in the dark.For a moment, Chu Ran couldn't tell where the road ahead led, but seeing Lu Shi standing lightly on the boat, he asked curiously, "Xiang Lu can punting?"
"A little bit." Lu Shi said, under the shadow of the moon, he stood tall and tall, with a graceful posture, as bright as the moon.
Chu Ran felt strange, and stepped on the boat half suspiciously. As soon as she got on, the boat was unstable, shook twice, and soon stabilized.She sat down carefully, touching the surface of the pool with her hands, and the light of the water lamp jumped on her fingertips.
Ever since A Niang left, she lived under the oppression of the court and was caught in the struggle for power. She always thought about stabilizing the position of the crown prince and seizing the greatest benefits.
Such a wanton time has not been seen in a long time.
She carefully held up a water lamp, the water in the pool was dyed with light, with light.
Lu Shi carefully braced the pole, and the boat swayed away from the shore. The boat bumped into the lotus lantern, causing layers of ripples, and the water splashed out the wick.
Chu Ran suddenly felt a pity, and said, "It's all gone."
"Where there is gain, there must be loss, and it will eventually be destroyed." Lu Shi's expression was unclear, and after all, he slowed down the speed of the pole a lot.
The water lamps retreated, and many more lamps poured in. The pool was full of water lamps, and the pool was covered with a sea of stars.
The corners of Chu Ran's lips curled up slightly, and he said to Lu Shi, "If Lu Xiang marries me, will he regret it?"
This sentence is the focus of tonight.Facing Chu Ran, Lu Shi saw her innocent smile, and said leisurely, "No, will Your Highness regret it?"
Chu Ran is 15 years old, he is not a young child, the cardamom blossoms, he is just young, he can think freely in his mind, one thought at a time, if he likes it today, maybe he will change it tomorrow.
Lu Shi is different. She has already had a flower letter. Ordinary women have children, and most of their thoughts will be spent on the children and the back house. .
It was a godsend to meet Chu Ran, and she never regretted it, only helpless.
Chu Ran wiped the water surface with both hands, sparkling, Lu Shi's thoughts were hard to guess, she still didn't understand, but she was the only one in the world who tried so hard to make her happy.
This thought is the most rare.
Chu Ran didn't answer her. After the boat sailed for a while, there was a tree in front of it with firefly lights hanging on it. She was curious: "What are you doing here?"
"This is an acacia tree." Lu Shi said.
The acacia tree next to the acacia pool, the stars and the bright moon make the acacia.Chu Ran glanced at it, and saw that the tree was huge and had already bloomed. It was about a few years old. After approaching, there was something hanging on the tree, and she stood up to pick it up.
A sack of palace yarn, she opened
Finally, there was only a piece of red paper inside, which was old and the color had lost its brilliance. On it was written the birthdays of her and Lu Shi.
Engagement is the first combination of horoscopes.
When Lu Shi returned it to her this time, he undoubtedly transferred the decision-making power back to her hands. She put the red paper back, took out a lamp instead, and said, "President Lu is not afraid of my hard heart. Throw the paper into the water."
She took out the lamp, and Lu Shi went back on the pole. From time to time, Kongming lanterns floated in the air, and the lights were better than the brightness of the bright moon.
After landing, Lu Shi went ashore first, then reached out to support Chu Ran, and stepped ashore.
The pastries in the gazebo were already cold, Chu Ran ate a few sorbet cherries, squinting her eyes, very satisfied.Lu Shi sat aside, sweat dripping from the tip of his nose under the light, Chu Ran knew that she was tired, so he pushed the remaining cherries to her, "It's very sweet."
She turned around and went to eat grapes. The skins had been peeled and the flesh was clear. She signed one and handed it to Lu Shi: "Xiang Lu thinks what will happen in the city when Mr. Huo comes back?"
Chu Ran's jade-like cheeks seemed to glow under the moonlight, and her dark eyes were like black grapes, staring closely at Lu Shi.
Lu Shi looked at the plump grapes in front of him, moved his eyes up inch by inch, and landed on Chu Ran's eyes, and said, "It's too late to mend it."
The overall situation in the city has been decided, even if Huo Qi has the ability to reach the sky, he cannot be undone. Could it be that he has a way to make His Majesty take back his life?
Even if he takes his life back, the general has become a frightened bird, and he still hates King Heng.
Lu Shi didn't move, Chu Ran stretched out the grapes, the flesh brushed against the corners of his lips, the ice and fire melted together, the fruity scent lingered at the tip of his nose, and melted in his heart with the fire.
After all, Lu Shi couldn't be more stubborn than her. He took the stick, bit the grape, and the juice overflowed.
"That's right, a Huo family is no match for all the generals in Chu." Chu Ran nodded, King Heng lost the support of the generals, even if he was favored by the emperor, he was still a strong horse on the cliff, and he would rush down if he was not careful.
Axiu came over according to the time, saw the two of them chatting about something serious, turned around and asked someone to fetch green plum wine, and made some light dishes.
All the fruits in the hall were removed, but the longevity peach was still there. Chu Ran felt hungry, so he ate a few in succession, and thought the taste was good, so he said: "The chef of the Xiangfu is good at cooking."
Hearing this, Axiu glanced at the Prime Minister, seeing that she was silent, she had no choice but to give up and led the people back outside the pavilion to wait.
But Lu Shi talked about the prince's east palace, saying: "The prince is not young, and it's time to arrange the bed."
The bedroom secretary is to teach the prince to be familiar with personnel affairs.Chu Ran was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Is the prince younger?"
"In about a few months, His Highness is going to get married. The crown prince is only half an hour younger than you." Lu Shi was helpless, perhaps because of the influence from childhood, Chu Ran always felt that she was a few years older than the crown prince.
Chu Ran thought about it too, she poured herself a glass of wine, the fruit flavor was strong, it was just right to drink, she took a sip carefully, the taste was sweet.She said with satisfaction: "Alright, I will go to the palace to make arrangements after tomorrow, but the bedside is required to drink medicine, so there will be no heirs left."
She sticks to the rules.Lu Shi reminded her: "That's not the case, the prince in the East Palace is respected."
If the crown prince wants to leave an heir, how can others stop him? When His Majesty finds out, the fetus in the womb will grow.
As long as the prince has heirs, it is Chu Ran's new hope.Lu Shi knew this and didn't want to tell her.
Chu Ran shook her head, and said in a low voice, "I don't think Brother would have such an idea."
"Then His Highness advised you to marry the Crown Princess as soon as possible?" Lu Shi said, she thought it was funny, the Crown Prince didn't want to marry the Crown Princess because he would be blocked by His Majesty at that time, and the Crown Princess would be controlled by others.
Chu Ran drank another glass of wine, looked at the moonlight, and said, "It's okay, I have to go back to the house."
She drank two glasses of wine, her thoughts were clear, she stood up and was about to go to the side door, when Lu Shi called her: "Your Highness, may construction start tomorrow?"
"Lu Xiang can make the decision." Chu Ran waved his hand and strode away.
Once she has made a decision, she will not change her mind.
****
The next day was the prince's birthday.
Chu Ran got up late, the prince's banquet was at night, and it was still early, so she could enter the palace later.She turned over, remembering what happened yesterday, she bent her lips, sat up, took the blueprint, determined the direction, and went to the mansion.
The Princess Mansion was bestowed by His Majesty, the structure of the garden was earlier, and it has not been touched since she entered the mansion. She went to the secret passage to check carefully. If no one found out, she had to drive away all the servants here.
According to the drawings, the secret passage is connected to her yard.The blueprints were drawn in detail and accurately, and it was almost an on-site survey. After reading it, she suddenly wondered: How did Lu Xiang know her yard so well?
This is not the time to worry about this, she summoned her staff to build a garden.
There is no shortage of money in the princess's treasury. The prince has given her a lot these years without permission. In addition to the income from the shop, he has accumulated a lot.It is natural to renovate the garden extensively.
A week after giving the order, Axiu came into the house suddenly and delivered a food box, followed by a big orange cat.
A bowl of longevity noodles was placed in the food box. After a while, the noodles swelled.Axiu said: "I came very quickly, but I was just running back and forth, but I still couldn't make it in time. Prime Minister Lu has already returned to the office."
This bowl of noodles was made by Lu Xiang.
Chu Ran heaved a long sigh, maybe it is really convenient to have a secret passage.She handed the blueprint to Axiu and said, "I want to repair the garden."
Axiu understands that after accepting the blueprints, construction needs to start at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and repairing the garden is just a deception.She said again: "The actors in the mansion, I hope His Highness will deal with them as soon as possible, and they can also be dedicated to His Majesty."
Chu Ran was taken aback for a moment, started to take care of the affairs of her house so soon?
"Prime Minister is really stingy, I know what to do." Chu Ran was a little impatient, squinted at Axiu, and sent her out of the house.
The orange cat was left behind. It squatted on the ground and glanced left and right. Chu Ran grabbed its ear: "I don't think the name Shiwu sounds very good. It's called the first day of the junior high school. How about it?"
The orange cat meowed, but didn't move.
When Chu Ran entered the palace, he took Fifteen with him, since the dinner party was boring, why not take it with him to pass the boring time.
As usual, I went to the central palace to pay my respects to the queen. When she went, there were many wives standing in the palace.Fifteen has a wild personality, walking ahead proudly, looking left and right from time to time, very dutiful.
I don't know how Lu Shi trained and taught it, Chu Ran pursed the corners of her lips and suppressed a smile, like this in the barracks.
After paying her respects, she looked up and saw Mrs. Huo, the Queen's mother, sitting under the Queen's head. Fifteen ran up to her and rubbed her paws on the ground. She immediately said in disgust, "Where did the wild cat come from?"
"It's obviously a domestic kitten, how could it become a wild cat? Could it be that some kind of cat appears in someone's eyes?" Chu Ran bent down to pick up Shiwu and rubbed its head.
The queen in the seat frowned: "What does Xinping mean?"
"The meaning in the words, I haven't seen you for a long time, the queen's beauty is still the same, even more beautiful than the new concubine. By the way, why didn't I see Concubine Ming? I haven't congratulated her yet." Chu Ran was in the crowd Looking around, I didn't find Concubine Ming, so it seems that she didn't come over.
The queen is a little older than the previous queen. Compared with the young people, the only newcomers to the palace are the actors from Yunmengze.
Chu Ran is not afraid of the queen, she is not in the harem, there is no need to bear it, if she endures, Ling Yi will dominate Lu Shi, and there is no Ling Yi in the palace.
Could it be that he's looking for Lu Shi again?
The queen on the seat was so angry that she pursed her lips. Your Majesty is not a long-term lover, and has no affection for her except for respect. If not for the support of King Heng, she would have no status in the palace.
Xinping's cynicism was nothing more than relying on the crown prince, she endured it, and said: "The weather is hot, and the concubine Ming is happy, so it's natural not to alarm her."
No one else dared to speak, even the old Mrs. Huo was stared at by the queen and dared not reply.Princess Xinping is not a law-abiding master. She has participated in the government affairs in these years and has an extremely domineering temper.
When the prince went to the East Palace, she personally arranged all the affairs, even if she knew that His Majesty didn't like it, she would do it.This time I went out to play for a few months, but my temper has become a lot quieter.
If the situation is abnormal, it must be a demon, not to be trifled with.
Fifteen was in the crowd, the hair on his back stood up, just like what the queen said, not to be trifled with.Its temperament is like my fifteenth, Chu Ran stroked its head reassuringly, picked up a piece of snack on the table and fed it to it.
Who knows, it is very picky, and it doesn't eat anything.Chu Ran took it for a walk outside the palace. As soon as she left, Mrs. Huo couldn't help complaining: "The queen's temper is too good, and this princess who doesn't know etiquette should teach her a lesson."
The queen didn't agree, the crown prince protected Xinping very well, and she didn't want to make trouble in front of everyone. Today is the crown prince's birthday, and it's her fault that the trouble started.
Xinping dared to speak like this because of this point. Judging by her behavior today, she must have come prepared.Even if she is angry, she has to divide the situation.
Fifteen followed his breath and ran around for a while, and finally ran towards Lingyi who entered the middle palace. It climbed up Lingyi's skirt and meowed.
Chu Ran sneered, Ling Yi was tainted with Lu Shi's aura, that's why he recognized the wrong person, otherwise he wouldn't get close.
When Lingyi saw Fifteen, he reached out to catch her. Fifteen seemed to realize that she was not the one he was looking for, so he slapped her hand away, jumped back to Chu Ran's feet, and screamed a few times.
Ling Yi is used to being held in the palm of his hand, where has he ever encountered such an outrageous thing, his hand was scratched with red marks, and he cried immediately.
The palace servants beside her were so frightened that they called for people to catch the cat, Chu Ran grabbed Shiwu's ears, lifted her up and hugged her in her arms, and said in a cold voice: "What's the trouble, it depends on the owner when you hit a cat, a dog depends on people's power? "
Ling Yi pursed her lips, wiped her tears, and was about to say something but was interrupted by Chu Ran: "This is Lu Xiang's cat, it came to me for some reason, I was afraid to smell Lu Xiang's breath just now to run away To you, sister Lingyi met Lu Xiang just now?"
"I saw it when I saw Dad just now." Ling Yi's face was flushed, and he couldn't cry anymore, as if he had done something embarrassing and was uncovered by Chu Ran.
Chu Ran hugged the cat and rubbed its head. It was fluffy and easy to handle. She smiled and said, "You have the aura of Lu Xiang on your body, so it can be seen that the two of you have been in close proximity for a long time. Does Ling Yi know the truth of Li Xia in the melon field? "
At the entrance of the central palace, most of the maidservants and mothers-in-law were waiting for their wives. Hearing these words, they immediately blushed, and wished they could find a hole in the ground to get in. It is a royal secret, and if you hear it, you will die.
They quietly lowered their heads and took a few steps back unconsciously.
"Sister, I just happened to meet Lu Xiang, why just, just, just melon fields and plums, I don't know what you mean?" Lingyi's face turned red after seeing the reactions of the maidservants and women around him. Wife, maybe what to say about her.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes dim with tears, "Sister, don't talk nonsense."
"Why is Lingyi crying? I'm just telling you the truth. If you don't understand, you can ask the queen when you go back, what is the melon field and Lixia?" Chu Ran glanced left and right, and didn't know which houses it was from, so he said: "Today, you don't know what to do. I didn’t hear it, but if I utter a single word, I will never forgive you.”
Everyone obediently agreed, and Chu Ran suddenly felt that the girl was crying and crying, so she glanced at it in disgust and left, taking Shiwu to the East Palace.
Today, the gate of the East Palace was wide open, and the servants carrying the congratulatory gifts inside were panting with exhaustion. Chu Ran glanced at it, but didn't care.When entering the East Palace, there was still a palace servant, helping the prince to change clothes.
The palace servants had delicate features, and when they saw Princess Xinping, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."
"Get up, why are you so nervous?" Chu Ran took another look curiously, the prince smiled faintly on his calm face, and waved the little palace man back out.
Chu Ran's eyes kept chasing the little palace man out of the palace, and the prince just smiled gently, which seemed a little strange, and she asked strangely, "What is the job of that person just now?"
"Sleeper." The prince replied.
Chu Ran is not surprised, the bedroom is to teach the prince to know about personnel, and there will be no trouble when they are together.The prince looked calm, thinking that he would handle this matter himself, as for what Lu Xiang reminded him, he didn't need to do it.
Taking advantage of the meeting between the two, she asked about the suitable candidate for the crown princess.
"Sister is very anxious. How can I consummate the house with my current body? Why don't you wait a little while and get married first? What do you think?" The prince led Chu Ran to sit aside, and his eyes suddenly fell on the man behind her. On the big orange cat, he reached out to catch it, but was stopped by Chu Ran: "It has a bad temper and will bite you."
The prince didn't dare to approach it, so he just called out to it: "Come here, there's meat to eat here."
Fifteen glanced at the prince, bent his hind legs, slumped his buttocks, and sat at Chu Ran's feet, ignoring her.The prince laughed out loud, feeling that the cat had a personality, and said with a smile, "Sister's cat is just like yours, so tsundere."
Chu Ran sneered: "This is Lu Xiang's cat, not mine."
The prince's eyes lit up: "Sister, are you thinking about it?"
"Well." Chu Ran responded, not wanting to mention the matter again, something flashed in his mind, and he said: "Today's birthday, safety at the banquet..."
She hesitated to speak, there was an assassin at the birthday party in the dream, Heng Wang blocked the sword for His Majesty, and suffered some injuries, His Majesty was very moved and favored him even more.Although there was no danger, she still asked the prince to pay attention to these.
The guards at the palace banquet were appointed by His Majesty himself, and no one else could intervene, but these impressions were too shallow, she couldn't remember if it was the birthday banquet, she thought about it carefully, the impression was too shallow, she thought it was too much.
"The matter of the guards in the palace is something that you and I can intervene in. Sister, don't worry about it. In short, His Majesty has already arranged it." The coldness in the prince's eyes deepened, and Chu Ran was slightly stunned when he saw it. "If you don't care, just don't care, pay more attention to yourself, don't let others meddle in Donggong."
"Sister, I understand. The banquet is about to start, so I won't keep you here." The prince chased away guests. There were indeed many affairs in the East Palace. .
****
The dinner was held in Lin Yuan, and the banquet was more extravagant and gorgeous than before.
The fifteenth under Chu Ran's feet has been misbehaving. It always wants to go to Lu Shi. It happens that Chu Ran and Lu Shi are sitting opposite each other, and Ling Yi is beside her. She keeps pressing the fifteenth to prevent it from running away.
After pressing it for a long time, it finally shot out like an arrow from the string. Chu Ran was annoyed for a while, but fortunately no one noticed.
The queen and Emperor Chu didn't know what they were talking about. The prince was as gentle as jade, and he looked very good today. After watching Chu Ran, he felt relieved. It was probably just a dream, how could it be compared with reality.
His eyes glanced lightly, and when he lowered his eyes, he felt strange, and then looked again, but there was no Heng Wang.She gestured to push the fruit on the table to Ling Yi, and said in a low voice, "Brother Heng Wang, what is the future?"
Ling Yi raised his eyes, looked at it for a week, and suddenly said: "Hey, my elder brother is not here, go ask my mother."
She took up the wine glass and walked towards the empress, Chu Ran picked up the wine cup in front of her and took a sip. Lingyi is dressed pretty today, the tulle of colorful flowers and plants in summer, and the simple attire is more on her body. There is a bit of innocence that other people don't have, no glamorous beauty, delicate and charming, but people can't move their eyes.
Chu Ran subconsciously looked at herself in a strong outfit, which was bland and tasteless. She raised her head and drank a glass of wine. Lu Shi, who was opposite her, looked over and moved her feet.
The emperor Chu who was seated in the seat remained silent all this time, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth froze the moment Ling Yi spoke. King Heng was absent, and no one had notified him.
Lu Shi lowered his eyes, touched Fifteen on his knee, and stroked the hair on its back quietly, as if he was out of it.
Ling Yi didn't come back for a long time, Xinyang from behind quietly came over, she took the fruit and said in a low voice: "Sister, I saw Ling Yi entangled Lu Xiang again today, you should be careful."
After saying that, he sneaked back again, not forgetting to turn away a bunch of grapes before leaving, running faster than a rabbit.
Chu Ran smiled unbearably, the atmosphere in the hall was quite harmonious, and the singing and dancing were still in the future, so it must be left behind. The courtiers surrounded the prince to toast, and the prince drank tea instead.
The queen in the seat suddenly said: "Prince, today is your birthday. I wish you good health and long blessings."
When the queen said this, she glanced at Chu Ran, her meaning was unclear.
The prince never cared, got up to thank you.
The queen's glance made Chu Ran realize that it was just a divorce.The hall was harmonious and harmonious, and everyone congratulated the prince, but no one mentioned her, and satirized her nakedly.
Chu Ran has seen a lot of strife in the palace. She passed her birthday in the prime minister's mansion yesterday, so there is no need to fight with the prince.
Not long after, Ling Yi came over, with a smile on his pretty face, "Brother Heng Wang, I don't know where to go."
King Heng would not be absent without reason, so could it be that the dream was real? She tried her best to think about it, but only thought that King Heng was shielding His Majesty from the sword, and she couldn't remember the rest.
She couldn't figure it out here, the palace was going to change the wine, several palace people in pink clothes entered the palace, and the courtiers in the palace were still pushing glasses to change.
Fifteen was on Lu Shi's knee, and suddenly jumped out, and rushed to the leading palace man in pink, Chu Ran immediately shouted: "Fifteen."
Before the sound hit the ground, the pink-clothed palace lady avoided it flexibly, with a light figure.
Chu Ran felt that something was wrong, how could ordinary palace people have such fierce movements, before he could figure it out, someone sternly shouted in his ear: "Take her down."
The Emperor Chu was furious, and he rushed up against the table. The guards from the corridor rushed in quickly. Almost at the same time, the palace man in pink flew up and stabbed the emperor with a dagger in his hand.
The queen had never seen such a battle before, and she screamed: "Escort..."
The imperial guards were not in the palace, they were just a few steps away, they couldn't compare to the speed of the assassin, the queen was so frightened that she almost fainted, the Emperor Chu was just a monarch who took pills, his body was exhausted, no matter how fast he could beat the assassin.
There were hundreds of courtiers and palace people in today's palace banquet. After this drastic change, the palace was in chaos, and the shouts were deafening, for fear that assassins would rush towards them.
Chu Ran, who was closer to the emperor, was also fast, and at the same time as the assassin, he came in front of Emperor Chu, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
Lu Shi's complexion changed drastically, and the surging emotions in his eyes were intense yet calm, and Chu Ran went to block the sword for the emperor...
"A little bit." Lu Shi said, under the shadow of the moon, he stood tall and tall, with a graceful posture, as bright as the moon.
Chu Ran felt strange, and stepped on the boat half suspiciously. As soon as she got on, the boat was unstable, shook twice, and soon stabilized.She sat down carefully, touching the surface of the pool with her hands, and the light of the water lamp jumped on her fingertips.
Ever since A Niang left, she lived under the oppression of the court and was caught in the struggle for power. She always thought about stabilizing the position of the crown prince and seizing the greatest benefits.
Such a wanton time has not been seen in a long time.
She carefully held up a water lamp, the water in the pool was dyed with light, with light.
Lu Shi carefully braced the pole, and the boat swayed away from the shore. The boat bumped into the lotus lantern, causing layers of ripples, and the water splashed out the wick.
Chu Ran suddenly felt a pity, and said, "It's all gone."
"Where there is gain, there must be loss, and it will eventually be destroyed." Lu Shi's expression was unclear, and after all, he slowed down the speed of the pole a lot.
The water lamps retreated, and many more lamps poured in. The pool was full of water lamps, and the pool was covered with a sea of stars.
The corners of Chu Ran's lips curled up slightly, and he said to Lu Shi, "If Lu Xiang marries me, will he regret it?"

Lu Shi is different. She has already had a flower letter. Ordinary women have children, and most of their thoughts will be spent on the children and the back house. .
It was a godsend to meet Chu Ran, and she never regretted it, only helpless.
Chu Ran wiped the water surface with both hands, sparkling, Lu Shi's thoughts were hard to guess, she still didn't understand, but she was the only one in the world who tried so hard to make her happy.
This thought is the most rare.
Chu Ran didn't answer her. After the boat sailed for a while, there was a tree in front of it with firefly lights hanging on it. She was curious: "What are you doing here?"
"This is an acacia tree." Lu Shi said.
The acacia tree next to the acacia pool, the stars and the bright moon make the acacia.Chu Ran glanced at it, and saw that the tree was huge and had already bloomed. It was about a few years old. After approaching, there was something hanging on the tree, and she stood up to pick it up.

The pastries in the gazebo were already cold, Chu Ran ate a few sorbet cherries, squinting her eyes, very satisfied.Lu Shi sat aside, sweat dripping from the tip of his nose under the light, Chu Ran knew that she was tired, so he pushed the remaining cherries to her, "It's very sweet."
She turned around and went to eat grapes. The skins had been peeled and the flesh was clear. She signed one and handed it to Lu Shi: "Xiang Lu thinks what will happen in the city when Mr. Huo comes back?"
Chu Ran's jade-like cheeks seemed to glow under the moonlight, and her dark eyes were like black grapes, staring closely at Lu Shi.
Lu Shi looked at the plump grapes in front of him, moved his eyes up inch by inch, and landed on Chu Ran's eyes, and said, "It's too late to mend it."

The bedroom secretary is to teach the prince to be familiar with personnel affairs.Chu Ran was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Is the prince younger?"
"In about a few months, His Highness is going to get married. The crown prince is only half an hour younger than you." Lu Shi was helpless, perhaps because of the influence from childhood, Chu Ran always felt that she was a few years older than the crown prince.
Chu Ran thought about it too, she poured herself a glass of wine, the fruit flavor was strong, it was just right to drink, she took a sip carefully, the taste was sweet.She said with satisfaction: "Alright, I will go to the palace to make arrangements after tomorrow, but the bedside is required to drink medicine, so there will be no heirs left."

"Then His Highness advised you to marry the Crown Princess as soon as possible?" Lu Shi said, she thought it was funny, the Crown Prince didn't want to marry the Crown Princess because he would be blocked by His Majesty at that time, and the Crown Princess would be controlled by others.
Chu Ran drank another glass of wine, looked at the moonlight, and said, "It's okay, I have to go back to the house."
She drank two glasses of wine, her thoughts were clear, she stood up and was about to go to the side door, when Lu Shi called her: "Your Highness, may construction start tomorrow?"
"Lu Xiang can make the decision." Chu Ran waved his hand and strode away.
Once she has made a decision, she will not change her mind.

The next day was the prince's birthday.
Chu Ran got up late, the prince's banquet was at night, and it was still early, so she could enter the palace later.She turned over, remembering what happened yesterday, she bent her lips, sat up, took the blueprint, determined the direction, and went to the mansion.
The Princess Mansion was bestowed by His Majesty, the structure of the garden was earlier, and it has not been touched since she entered the mansion. She went to the secret passage to check carefully. If no one found out, she had to drive away all the servants here.
According to the drawings, the secret passage is connected to her yard.The blueprints were drawn in detail and accurately, and it was almost an on-site survey. After reading it, she suddenly wondered: How did Lu Xiang know her yard so well?
This is not the time to worry about this, she summoned her staff to build a garden.
There is no shortage of money in the princess's treasury. The prince has given her a lot these years without permission. In addition to the income from the shop, he has accumulated a lot.It is natural to renovate the garden extensively.
A week after giving the order, Axiu came into the house suddenly and delivered a food box, followed by a big orange cat.
A bowl of longevity noodles was placed in the food box. After a while, the noodles swelled.Axiu said: "I came very quickly, but I was just running back and forth, but I still couldn't make it in time. Prime Minister Lu has already returned to the office."
This bowl of noodles was made by Lu Xiang.
Chu Ran heaved a long sigh, maybe it is really convenient to have a secret passage.She handed the blueprint to Axiu and said, "I want to repair the garden."
Axiu understands that after accepting the blueprints, construction needs to start at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and repairing the garden is just a deception.She said again: "The actors in the mansion, I hope His Highness will deal with them as soon as possible, and they can also be dedicated to His Majesty."
Chu Ran was taken aback for a moment, started to take care of the affairs of her house so soon?
"Prime Minister is really stingy, I know what to do." Chu Ran was a little impatient, squinted at Axiu, and sent her out of the house.
The orange cat was left behind. It squatted on the ground and glanced left and right. Chu Ran grabbed its ear: "I don't think the name Shiwu sounds very good. It's called the first day of the junior high school. How about it?"
The orange cat meowed, but didn't move.
When Chu Ran entered the palace, he took Fifteen with him, since the dinner party was boring, why not take it with him to pass the boring time.
As usual, I went to the central palace to pay my respects to the queen. When she went, there were many wives standing in the palace.Fifteen has a wild personality, walking ahead proudly, looking left and right from time to time, very dutiful.
I don't know how Lu Shi trained and taught it, Chu Ran pursed the corners of her lips and suppressed a smile, like this in the barracks.
After paying her respects, she looked up and saw Mrs. Huo, the Queen's mother, sitting under the Queen's head. Fifteen ran up to her and rubbed her paws on the ground. She immediately said in disgust, "Where did the wild cat come from?"
"It's obviously a domestic kitten, how could it become a wild cat? Could it be that some kind of cat appears in someone's eyes?" Chu Ran bent down to pick up Shiwu and rubbed its head.
The queen in the seat frowned: "What does Xinping mean?"
"The meaning in the words, I haven't seen you for a long time, the queen's beauty is still the same, even more beautiful than the new concubine. By the way, why didn't I see Concubine Ming? I haven't congratulated her yet." Chu Ran was in the crowd Looking around, I didn't find Concubine Ming, so it seems that she didn't come over.
The queen is a little older than the previous queen. Compared with the young people, the only newcomers to the palace are the actors from Yunmengze.
Chu Ran is not afraid of the queen, she is not in the harem, there is no need to bear it, if she endures, Ling Yi will dominate Lu Shi, and there is no Ling Yi in the palace.
Could it be that he's looking for Lu Shi again?
The queen on the seat was so angry that she pursed her lips. Your Majesty is not a long-term lover, and has no affection for her except for respect. If not for the support of King Heng, she would have no status in the palace.
Xinping's cynicism was nothing more than relying on the crown prince, she endured it, and said: "The weather is hot, and the concubine Ming is happy, so it's natural not to alarm her."
No one else dared to speak, even the old Mrs. Huo was stared at by the queen and dared not reply.Princess Xinping is not a law-abiding master. She has participated in the government affairs in these years and has an extremely domineering temper.
When the prince went to the East Palace, she personally arranged all the affairs, even if she knew that His Majesty didn't like it, she would do it.This time I went out to play for a few months, but my temper has become a lot quieter.
If the situation is abnormal, it must be a demon, not to be trifled with.
Fifteen was in the crowd, the hair on his back stood up, just like what the queen said, not to be trifled with.Its temperament is like my fifteenth, Chu Ran stroked its head reassuringly, picked up a piece of snack on the table and fed it to it.
Who knows, it is very picky, and it doesn't eat anything.Chu Ran took it for a walk outside the palace. As soon as she left, Mrs. Huo couldn't help complaining: "The queen's temper is too good, and this princess who doesn't know etiquette should teach her a lesson."
The queen didn't agree, the crown prince protected Xinping very well, and she didn't want to make trouble in front of everyone. Today is the crown prince's birthday, and it's her fault that the trouble started.
Xinping dared to speak like this because of this point. Judging by her behavior today, she must have come prepared.Even if she is angry, she has to divide the situation.
Fifteen followed his breath and ran around for a while, and finally ran towards Lingyi who entered the middle palace. It climbed up Lingyi's skirt and meowed.
Chu Ran sneered, Ling Yi was tainted with Lu Shi's aura, that's why he recognized the wrong person, otherwise he wouldn't get close.
When Lingyi saw Fifteen, he reached out to catch her. Fifteen seemed to realize that she was not the one he was looking for, so he slapped her hand away, jumped back to Chu Ran's feet, and screamed a few times.
Ling Yi is used to being held in the palm of his hand, where has he ever encountered such an outrageous thing, his hand was scratched with red marks, and he cried immediately.
The palace servants beside her were so frightened that they called for people to catch the cat, Chu Ran grabbed Shiwu's ears, lifted her up and hugged her in her arms, and said in a cold voice: "What's the trouble, it depends on the owner when you hit a cat, a dog depends on people's power? "
Ling Yi pursed her lips, wiped her tears, and was about to say something but was interrupted by Chu Ran: "This is Lu Xiang's cat, it came to me for some reason, I was afraid to smell Lu Xiang's breath just now to run away To you, sister Lingyi met Lu Xiang just now?"
"I saw it when I saw Dad just now." Ling Yi's face was flushed, and he couldn't cry anymore, as if he had done something embarrassing and was uncovered by Chu Ran.
Chu Ran hugged the cat and rubbed its head. It was fluffy and easy to handle. She smiled and said, "You have the aura of Lu Xiang on your body, so it can be seen that the two of you have been in close proximity for a long time. Does Ling Yi know the truth of Li Xia in the melon field? "
At the entrance of the central palace, most of the maidservants and mothers-in-law were waiting for their wives. Hearing these words, they immediately blushed, and wished they could find a hole in the ground to get in. It is a royal secret, and if you hear it, you will die.
They quietly lowered their heads and took a few steps back unconsciously.
"Sister, I just happened to meet Lu Xiang, why just, just, just melon fields and plums, I don't know what you mean?" Lingyi's face turned red after seeing the reactions of the maidservants and women around him. Wife, maybe what to say about her.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes dim with tears, "Sister, don't talk nonsense."
"Why is Lingyi crying? I'm just telling you the truth. If you don't understand, you can ask the queen when you go back, what is the melon field and Lixia?" Chu Ran glanced left and right, and didn't know which houses it was from, so he said: "Today, you don't know what to do. I didn’t hear it, but if I utter a single word, I will never forgive you.”
Everyone obediently agreed, and Chu Ran suddenly felt that the girl was crying and crying, so she glanced at it in disgust and left, taking Shiwu to the East Palace.
Today, the gate of the East Palace was wide open, and the servants carrying the congratulatory gifts inside were panting with exhaustion. Chu Ran glanced at it, but didn't care.When entering the East Palace, there was still a palace servant, helping the prince to change clothes.
The palace servants had delicate features, and when they saw Princess Xinping, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."
"Get up, why are you so nervous?" Chu Ran took another look curiously, the prince smiled faintly on his calm face, and waved the little palace man back out.
Chu Ran's eyes kept chasing the little palace man out of the palace, and the prince just smiled gently, which seemed a little strange, and she asked strangely, "What is the job of that person just now?"
"Sleeper." The prince replied.
Chu Ran is not surprised, the bedroom is to teach the prince to know about personnel, and there will be no trouble when they are together.The prince looked calm, thinking that he would handle this matter himself, as for what Lu Xiang reminded him, he didn't need to do it.
Taking advantage of the meeting between the two, she asked about the suitable candidate for the crown princess.
"Sister is very anxious. How can I consummate the house with my current body? Why don't you wait a little while and get married first? What do you think?" The prince led Chu Ran to sit aside, and his eyes suddenly fell on the man behind her. On the big orange cat, he reached out to catch it, but was stopped by Chu Ran: "It has a bad temper and will bite you."
The prince didn't dare to approach it, so he just called out to it: "Come here, there's meat to eat here."
Fifteen glanced at the prince, bent his hind legs, slumped his buttocks, and sat at Chu Ran's feet, ignoring her.The prince laughed out loud, feeling that the cat had a personality, and said with a smile, "Sister's cat is just like yours, so tsundere."
Chu Ran sneered: "This is Lu Xiang's cat, not mine."
The prince's eyes lit up: "Sister, are you thinking about it?"
"Well." Chu Ran responded, not wanting to mention the matter again, something flashed in his mind, and he said: "Today's birthday, safety at the banquet..."
She hesitated to speak, there was an assassin at the birthday party in the dream, Heng Wang blocked the sword for His Majesty, and suffered some injuries, His Majesty was very moved and favored him even more.Although there was no danger, she still asked the prince to pay attention to these.
The guards at the palace banquet were appointed by His Majesty himself, and no one else could intervene, but these impressions were too shallow, she couldn't remember if it was the birthday banquet, she thought about it carefully, the impression was too shallow, she thought it was too much.
"The matter of the guards in the palace is something that you and I can intervene in. Sister, don't worry about it. In short, His Majesty has already arranged it." The coldness in the prince's eyes deepened, and Chu Ran was slightly stunned when he saw it. "If you don't care, just don't care, pay more attention to yourself, don't let others meddle in Donggong."
"Sister, I understand. The banquet is about to start, so I won't keep you here." The prince chased away guests. There were indeed many affairs in the East Palace. .
****
The dinner was held in Lin Yuan, and the banquet was more extravagant and gorgeous than before.
The fifteenth under Chu Ran's feet has been misbehaving. It always wants to go to Lu Shi. It happens that Chu Ran and Lu Shi are sitting opposite each other, and Ling Yi is beside her. She keeps pressing the fifteenth to prevent it from running away.
After pressing it for a long time, it finally shot out like an arrow from the string. Chu Ran was annoyed for a while, but fortunately no one noticed.
The queen and Emperor Chu didn't know what they were talking about. The prince was as gentle as jade, and he looked very good today. After watching Chu Ran, he felt relieved. It was probably just a dream, how could it be compared with reality.
His eyes glanced lightly, and when he lowered his eyes, he felt strange, and then looked again, but there was no Heng Wang.She gestured to push the fruit on the table to Ling Yi, and said in a low voice, "Brother Heng Wang, what is the future?"
Ling Yi raised his eyes, looked at it for a week, and suddenly said: "Hey, my elder brother is not here, go ask my mother."
She took up the wine glass and walked towards the empress, Chu Ran picked up the wine cup in front of her and took a sip. Lingyi is dressed pretty today, the tulle of colorful flowers and plants in summer, and the simple attire is more on her body. There is a bit of innocence that other people don't have, no glamorous beauty, delicate and charming, but people can't move their eyes.
Chu Ran subconsciously looked at herself in a strong outfit, which was bland and tasteless. She raised her head and drank a glass of wine. Lu Shi, who was opposite her, looked over and moved her feet.
The emperor Chu who was seated in the seat remained silent all this time, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth froze the moment Ling Yi spoke. King Heng was absent, and no one had notified him.
Lu Shi lowered his eyes, touched Fifteen on his knee, and stroked the hair on its back quietly, as if he was out of it.
Ling Yi didn't come back for a long time, Xinyang from behind quietly came over, she took the fruit and said in a low voice: "Sister, I saw Ling Yi entangled Lu Xiang again today, you should be careful."
After saying that, he sneaked back again, not forgetting to turn away a bunch of grapes before leaving, running faster than a rabbit.
Chu Ran smiled unbearably, the atmosphere in the hall was quite harmonious, and the singing and dancing were still in the future, so it must be left behind. The courtiers surrounded the prince to toast, and the prince drank tea instead.
The queen in the seat suddenly said: "Prince, today is your birthday. I wish you good health and long blessings."
When the queen said this, she glanced at Chu Ran, her meaning was unclear.
The prince never cared, got up to thank you.
The queen's glance made Chu Ran realize that it was just a divorce.The hall was harmonious and harmonious, and everyone congratulated the prince, but no one mentioned her, and satirized her nakedly.
Chu Ran has seen a lot of strife in the palace. She passed her birthday in the prime minister's mansion yesterday, so there is no need to fight with the prince.
Not long after, Ling Yi came over, with a smile on his pretty face, "Brother Heng Wang, I don't know where to go."
King Heng would not be absent without reason, so could it be that the dream was real? She tried her best to think about it, but only thought that King Heng was shielding His Majesty from the sword, and she couldn't remember the rest.
She couldn't figure it out here, the palace was going to change the wine, several palace people in pink clothes entered the palace, and the courtiers in the palace were still pushing glasses to change.
Fifteen was on Lu Shi's knee, and suddenly jumped out, and rushed to the leading palace man in pink, Chu Ran immediately shouted: "Fifteen."
Before the sound hit the ground, the pink-clothed palace lady avoided it flexibly, with a light figure.
Chu Ran felt that something was wrong, how could ordinary palace people have such fierce movements, before he could figure it out, someone sternly shouted in his ear: "Take her down."
The Emperor Chu was furious, and he rushed up against the table. The guards from the corridor rushed in quickly. Almost at the same time, the palace man in pink flew up and stabbed the emperor with a dagger in his hand.
The queen had never seen such a battle before, and she screamed: "Escort..."
The imperial guards were not in the palace, they were just a few steps away, they couldn't compare to the speed of the assassin, the queen was so frightened that she almost fainted, the Emperor Chu was just a monarch who took pills, his body was exhausted, no matter how fast he could beat the assassin.
There were hundreds of courtiers and palace people in today's palace banquet. After this drastic change, the palace was in chaos, and the shouts were deafening, for fear that assassins would rush towards them.
Chu Ran, who was closer to the emperor, was also fast, and at the same time as the assassin, he came in front of Emperor Chu, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
Lu Shi's complexion changed drastically, and the surging emotions in his eyes were intense yet calm, and Chu Ran went to block the sword for the emperor...
