Chu Ran felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, so she stood up straight, and was afraid that Xinyang would come back, so she hurriedly pushed Lu Shi away, saying: "Hurry up, I will send that little ancestor back to the palace tomorrow, so that the concubine Ming won't go to the palace every day. thinking about it."

She pulled Lu Shi and was about to leave, but Lu Shi said, "I still have something to say to you."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll go find you tomorrow night. You just wait for me." Chu Ran was afraid of being discovered, and her heart was beating fast as she sneaked around.

She had brute strength, and Lu Shi held her hand helplessly: "Be careful of the wound."

Chu Ran stopped immediately and raised her head to look at her: "Then you go by yourself."

Lu Shi did have something to say, the matter of King Ning has not been finished yet, according to his temperament, he will definitely come over tomorrow.She held Chu Ran's hand and said directly: "You don't want to settle the matter of King Ning?"

"King Ning?" Chu Ran paused, almost forgot, her face flushed with anxiety, and before she had time to think, Xinyang knocked on the door again, "Sister, Sister."

Chu Ran was so frightened that her heart jumped, her eyelashes trembled, the sweat on her forehead smeared on her eyelashes, and bright red appeared on her fair cheeks, like the best rouge.

Lu Shi looked at her, maybe he was too timid, Xinyang scared her like this?

Chu Ran didn't want to listen anymore, and said: "If she knows you are here, maybe Concubine Ming will know."

After seeing Concubine Ming today, she felt that something was wrong, especially when she settled Xinyang's marriage a few days before Wu Jiang Guoshu came. Such a strange method must be extraordinary.

Lu Yi didn't move: "It's okay."

"Are you going?" Chu Ran was slightly annoyed, and she held Lu Shi's wrist instead. Her wrist was cold, and for some reason, it seemed that it was cold during the previous contact, so it might be a physical problem.

"Don't be impatient." Lu Shi comforted, she was very helpless, Chu Ran dared to block a knife, but was afraid of a little Xinyang, she really didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Chu Ran suddenly moved her eyebrows and said viciously: "If you don't leave, I will kiss you."

As soon as the words fell, Xinyang outside was still knocking on the door, Lu Shi didn't hear that sentence, and stared at her.

After Chu Ran's words came out, seeing that she didn't respond, she couldn't help getting angry, and gradually bent her head towards her, and tilted her head to kiss the corner of her lips. She didn't count it as a kiss. Open, and directly bite the tip of her tongue.

Before Lu Shi could react, he pushed Chu Ran away when his tongue hurt, frowned slightly, not annoyed, the taste of rose candy spread in his mouth, sweet to his heart.

Chu Ran is only a 15-year-old girl, and she doesn't know much about love, and she hasn't thought much about it since she kissed her.Lu Shi looked at her quietly, as if reminiscing about Chu Ran's kiss just now.

When she looked at it like this, the atmosphere changed, but Chu Ran blushed, and it was hard to do anything again, and said in a low voice: "If you don't, just bite you, go quickly, I will let you bite it."

Lu Shi moved half a step forward, the emotion in her eyes was unclear, she suddenly reached out and embraced Chu Ran, after two lifetimes, her experience was always more than Chu Ran's, she lowered her head against Chu Ran's Forehead: "You want me to bite?"

"No, I'm just saying, don't take it seriously." Chu Ran's eyes widened, and she was at a loss for a moment. For that dream, she was just a spectator. The coldness frightened.

When he was in the northwest, Lu Shi was blind and couldn't resist anything. Now it's good, he will bite back if he bites.Naturally, she couldn't be bitten back by her, so she ran to the secret passage, opened the door, and said, "Go back."

Lu Shi looked at her coldly, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his eyes were like frost.She didn't say go, and she didn't say no, Chu Ran felt guilty when she saw her, and simply handed out her hand childishly: "After biting, go quickly."

The conflict between her and Lu Shi unknowingly dissipated, and the disgust in her eyes was gone, and she seemed to be a different person in a few months.

Chu Ran is not stupid. Since she was a child, only Lu Shi was willing to spend her time to celebrate her birthday. There are firefly lanterns all over the forest, countless water lanterns in Hehuan Pond, birthday peach snacks, she understands Lu Shi's thoughts.

It's just that the better Lu Shi treats her, the deeper the troubles in her heart. The matter of reconciliation in the dream became her heart disease, and she was also worried about the prince's illness, but she can't do anything now, and she will be killed when she leaves the princess mansion. People are watching every day, and they can't even go to the East Palace.

She knew that the predicament would be even greater in the future, but King Heng couldn't please him, and he was in a very difficult situation now, all of this was Lu Shi's method.

Lu Shi's method was faster than in the dream, and what she was doing was naturally her own.She said to keep it from others, then keep it from others, it's fine to keep it from the whole life, but it's no problem to respect each other as a guest to others.

But she had already made up her mind, she should hide it from Xinyang, but Lu Xiang refused to leave, she asked anxiously, "Are you going or not?"

Such an impatient appearance reminded Lu Shi of arguing with the queen in front of the coffin when the queen went first.The queen hadn't established a queen at that time, and when the queen left, she was in charge of the harem, and she didn't know where she disagreed with Chu Ran, so she argued a few words.

In the end, the queen left angrily. She drove away the palace servants by herself, and hid in the mourning hall to cry.

At that time, he was only six or seven years old. After crying, he straightened his back, raised the corners of his eyes, and had thick and thick eyelashes. He looked at the coffin and stopped talking.Kneeling on the futon, there was light sandalwood smoke floating in the hall, she stood outside the window, looked at the back that pretended to be strong, and shook her head helplessly, if she was willing to be softer and not offend the queen, how could she be in a difficult situation.

It was later learned that the quarrel was for the maidservant of the East Palace, and the queen wanted to arrange for someone to enter the East Palace, but Chu Ran directly refused.

She would rather suffer a loss than let the prince suffer a little bit of grievance. The people in the East Palace are arranged by the queen first. If the queen wants to intervene, Chu Ran will not be willing to go to Majesty to complain if she disagrees with her.

He doesn't look big, but has a wild temper.

The man-eating place in the palace is soft-tempered, and there are no bones left.

Xinyang outside was knocking on the door again, Lu Shi sighed silently, walked to Chu Ran's side, stared at her Baiyu's wrist, ignored her, and as she approached step by step, the unrequited love in his heart surged into his mind, lost Sensibly kissed the corner of Chu Ran's pursed lips.

She can't love her, and always feels that what Chu Ran wants is good, and she doesn't want to indulge her blindly, but provoke Yongge instead.

Chu Ran didn't eat as much candy today as last night, and his mouth was still full of fragrance, which made people obsessed.

Being kissed suddenly, she was taken aback for a moment, and her tongue was stained with the breath of others, her eyes widened, and she always felt like she had lost the city.

Lu Shi kissed her?

She felt dazed again, and passively catered to Lu Shi.

Xinyang, who had been knocking on the door for a long time, finished a box of candy outside, biting her cheek sorely, and finally looked at the empty candy box and knocked on the door frame again: "Sister, sister, the flower candy is gone."

She turned her head and looked around, but there was no one there. She wondered in her heart, wouldn't Sister really like others?

Could it be that we meet inside?She thought for a while, stopped knocking on the door, and said, "Sister, then I'm leaving."

Go behind the tree in the courtyard and see who is in there, she will always see someone if she waits all night.

Xinyang 'gone' before Lu Shi let go of Chu Ran.

From the beginning to the end, Chu Ran didn't show any resistance. Her face was flushed, and she seemed to be breathing hard. She stared at Lu Shi's cold face in a daze. She was still in the cloud and mist.

Lu Shi's expression changed slightly. Seeing that she didn't speak, he feared that he might scare her, so he said, "If King Ning comes tomorrow, you will accept her."

After giving instructions, he left.

Chu Ran stayed there for a long time, touching the corners of her numb lips, and realized that she seemed to have been underestimated?

The word frivolity should not be used, since they have been engaged for many years, it seems that this is not too much.

She climbed onto the couch in a daze, she sent everyone away, and no one brought her water to bathe, and fell asleep in a daze.

It's just pity for Xinyang, who stayed behind the tree for half the night without daring to blink his eyes. When Dongfang Lubai couldn't stand it anymore, he dozed off against the tree trunk, his head bit by bit.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he hurriedly got up again, and saw the bedroom door opened, his heart tightened, the man was about to come out.She waited for a while, only to see Sister A came out alone, she opened her eyes wide, and no one came out after watching for a while.

She was puzzled, why was there no one there?Unbelievable in her heart, after Elder Sister left, she sneaked into the bedroom, but there was no one there, Elder Sister was alone last night?

Or did people disappear out of thin air?

She looked around in distress, when someone behind her suddenly said, "Xinyang, why did you get up so early?"

Not getting up so early, but staying up all night.Xinyang was aggrieved, and dared not mention it, and said resentfully: "Let me take a look at Sister, the candy was delicious last night, I'll ask for some."

This is quite in line with her past habits. Chu Ran looked at her suspiciously, seeing that she still had the same clothes as last night, and asked, "Why didn't you change your clothes last night?"

Xinyang looked down at himself, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he walked outside without saying a word.Ah Ruan said that among the many strategies, sneaking first is the best.

****

In the afternoon, the heat was unstoppable, and Chu Ran was extremely hot in the mansion.I heard that His Majesty is going to the palace to escape the summer heat, and the courtiers are making arrangements for it, so she also wants to go with her.

But she was injured and couldn't walk too far.

She leaned on the couch and ate a spoonful with the ice cup in her hand, thinking in her mind that there was such a thing as a palace in her previous life, after thinking about it hard, it seemed that there was no such thing, could it have come out of nowhere?

Your Majesty has gone to the palace, who will guard the city of Yingdu?It definitely won't be the crown prince. His Majesty will not worry about him, it's probably Lu Xiang.She ate another spoonful, and King Ning hurried over.

She hurriedly got down from the couch, and greeted her with a smile: "Uncle Wang, slow down."

"You can't be slow, why don't you ask?" King Ning wiped the sweat from his head, and ran all the way from outside the door, his clothes were mostly wet, and he wanted to eat the ice cup when he saw it.

Chu Ran asked someone to pick it up, and when he guessed that he was coming, he prepared it, and whispered: "Even if we get married, we will have to wait until autumn. Huo Lao's words don't count, so don't worry."

As soon as he heard that it didn't count, King Ning narrowed his eyes, smiled naively, and said, "What did Prime Minister Lu say?"

Thinking of the scene of last night, Chu Ran blushed, nodded and said: "Don't say anything, Your Majesty is going to escape the summer heat, did you hear that?"

After the big event, King Ning returned to his usual spirit, took the ice cup and ate it, "I haven't heard of it, but you can't go, and I don't want to go. If you go to other courtyards, I won't let you go." Will the king relieve you from the heat and boredom?"

Ning Wang loves to go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to listen to some music, and to play on the flower boat if he has nothing to do, he is very willful.

Chu Ran didn't want to go, so she said, "Aren't you going to choose a marriage for Sister?"

King Ning was in trouble, "Which one to choose, which one do you think is suitable?"

Chu Ran turned around in his mind. In his previous life, he counted the Marquis of Runan as the highest climber, and asked tentatively, "Why don't you try the son of the Marquis of Runan?"

King Ning was indeed a little moved by her words, but he might not think highly of his family, so he asked, "Will you be willing?"

Chu Ran said: "How about my niece give you a try?"

King Ning agreed, "Alright, I'm waiting for your good news."

Chu Ran grabbed him and said, "Uncle Ning, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" King Ning asked strangely.

Chu Ran was not very embarrassed, dawdled for a while, and said in a low voice: "You see, I am going out of the cabinet, what about the dowry?"

There are rules for the princess of Chu to marry, but Chu Ran occupies the share of the heir, and the heir grows up, which is naturally different from ordinary princesses. However, the queen does not mention it. She has no way to ask for it, so she can only let King Ning act as an elder. Go and mention it.

King Ning agreed, "You deserve a lot, and I will add some to you at that time, so why are you petty, but keep it quiet, don't say it, it will be bad for Lingyi to ask me for it."

This is a joke, King Ning is now gnashing his teeth with hatred for the Huo family, how could he think about it.Chu Ran didn't expose it, so she agreed with a smile, and she couldn't miss a penny of what she deserved.

In the next few days, Lu Shi didn't show his face, and he didn't know what he was busy with. From time to time, he asked Axiu to bring some food, all of which were different and without repetition, which made Xinyang cheaper.

She stayed in the princess mansion for half a month and gained a lot of weight, but she had never seen Concubine Ming, so Chu Ran teased her why she didn't go back to the palace.

Unexpectedly, when she asked, her eyes turned red, she said that Concubine Ming was angry and ignored her when she returned to the palace, and hadn't eaten yet.

In the palace, most of what she ate was given by the imperial concubine Ming. If she wanted to eat anything on weekdays, she had to spend money to buy a full-fledged chef. As time went by, there was no way she would have so much money.

After thinking about it, it's better to stay in the princess mansion, so I won't leave.

She was afraid of Concubine Ming and did not dare to return to the palace.Chu Ran couldn't laugh or cry at once, but then remembered that Lu Shi hadn't seen her for a few days, was he also afraid of her?

Could it be that he was afraid after getting married, so he didn't see her?

Thinking of this, Chu Ran lay on the couch, rolling over with laughter. Lu Shi usually looked serious, and it was fake if he didn't want to, but he was proficient in kissing her that night.

It's not at all like the person who looks cold and guarded himself like a jade for many years.

After laughing for a while, I also felt that Lu Shi was no longer so indifferent. If she didn't come, she could only go by herself, but she couldn't go empty-handed. After thinking about it, roast a rabbit and take it away?

The chef in her mansion is not as powerful as Xiang's mansion, and they can't cook those pleasing foods. Besides, Lu Xiang is not Xinyang, so he certainly doesn't like food.

After thinking about it in the mansion, he didn't know what to give her, and he didn't remember the dream in his mind. Apart from the jar of wine, he really didn't know what to give her.

The house couldn't think of it, so she went to the street to have a look.

You must bring Xinyang with you when you go out of the house. Chu Ran is used to tight-sleeved clothes, and Xinyang still has moonlight sleeves. There is a sachet hanging around his waist, embroidered with lotus flowers in a pond, which looks very pleasing.

Xin Yang patted the sachet when he was leaving the house, very happy.

Chu Ran asked strangely: "Where did you come from? It doesn't look like it was made by an embroiderer in the palace."

Xinyang raised his chin: "Concubine Ming did it." The matter between her and Concubine Ming is known by elder sister, so there is no need to keep it a secret.

Chu Ran was speechless for a while, and didn't ask any more questions. The two got off the bus in Dongshi. Xinyang had visited the East and West Streets in recent days, and it was fun to visit again.

The expenditure in the princess' mansion is not large, and Chu Ran does not spend much on weekdays. It is only when Xinyang comes that she is a little bigger. She gives Xinyang some money and lets her play by herself, and asks her to go back to the mansion early. .

There are many gadgets on the street, and Chu Ran doesn't know what Lu Shi likes, but women should like some makeup and jewelry. When she went to the jade shop, she happened to meet someone from the Huo family.

The eldest lady of the Huo family took the girl who had not left the court to choose a bracelet, and she was stunned when she saw Princess Xinping who came alone. When she wanted to salute, Chu Ran waved her hand to signal them not to be too polite.

Seeing the charming look in Huo Fu's eyebrows, the butterflies in her bun fluttering as if they were alive, and the brocade satin on her body was also very extravagant, she knew that Huo's family was rich, and she saw it clearly today.

Huo Fu was seen as unnatural by her, and she slightly avoided her mother. Chu's folk customs are the most open, and women can get married.Princess Xinping likes women, and she feels trembling in her heart.

After seeing it, Chu Ran looked at the transparent jasper bracelet on the counter, and she knew it was worth a lot at first glance. She left the jade shop after a little thought. Lu Xiang didn't wear a bracelet.

Walking under the scorching sun, she remembered that in her previous life, Huo Fu finally married King Heng as his side concubine, and he was not made a crown princess after entering the East Palace.

The East Street is quite big, and it is impossible to walk all the way. Chu Ran was still empty-handed. When he saw the rouge shop, his heart moved, and he always wanted rouge.She touched her face, Lu Xiang didn't want it, so she kept it for herself.

After entering the hall, listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, she suddenly felt dazzled, looked around carefully, felt that everything was the same everywhere, and couldn't tell the good from the bad.

While hesitating, Huo Fu walked in. This is the Huo family's shop.

It was as if Chu Ran had entered a wolf's den, so he stopped looking at Rouge. The Huo family was rich and powerful, and their ancestors were businessmen. Somehow, they went to Yingdu for scientific research, and since then they have lost the fetal bone of business.

After seeing many things that women like, Chu Ran couldn't think of a good one. What kind of person is Lu Xiang, and what kind of treasures he has never seen.After seeing no good things, Chu Ran went back to the house.

However, there were strange disturbances in the court hall.

According to the seniority of Chu State, King Wujiang and Emperor Chu are cousins, but the word "Tang" has no blood relationship. There was a civil turmoil in Chu, and now King Wujiang's father fled south to Wujiang with his troops.

Wujiang occupies natural dangers, one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, and Chu soldiers are not good at water warfare, so every expedition ends in failure.Wujiang Wang's father escaped with the support of his subordinates. He was only twenty at that time, and he was the adoptive son of the old emperor.

Later, after escaping there, after a few battles, he began to proclaim himself a vassal, and sent many tributes in order to change the princess.This is the adopted son, and if he wants to marry the princess, it is nothing more than to make himself proud and reassure the emperor of Chu.

After coming and going, Wu Jiang guarded the pass so that the soldiers of Chu State could not attack, and the emperor of Chu State coveted Wu Jiang's annual tribute and would send the princess to marry him. It was just an extra small country.

Emperor Chu has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and the current king of Wu Jiang has grown up long ago, but he just wants to marry the princess to his son.

The court discussed this matter for a long time, but failed to reach a result, so the stalemate came to an end.Tai Shiling suddenly mentioned Xinping's marriage. He said that he had calculated the horoscopes of the two, but they did not match.

Back then, they got engaged in a hurry, and after exchanging Geng posts, the former Taishiling made a hasty calculation and settled the matter. Now that Princess Xinping is going to get married, Taishiling calculated their horoscopes in order to follow the rules.

It's good if you don't count, it's a sign of mutual restraint.

After saying that, the courtiers all looked at Prime Minister Lu, and her eyes looked at the emperor on the throne, because the courtiers couldn't see her expression because she was in front of her, and they only heard her say: "The former Taishi Ling has already calculated the calculation, and now And if you don’t agree, is it possible to pull the former Taishi Ling out of the coffin and argue with you again?”

She didn't know who was wrong, and she didn't know who was right, she just said that the two had an argument.

Arguing with a dead man, he was afraid of going to the underworld. Tai Shiling is not very timid. Hearing this, he knelt down with a plop, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I just said according to the results of the test, there is no Other unruly intentions."

"Tai Shi Ling is crying so much, I only told you to argue with the former Tai Shi Ling, and I insisted that you are not allowed." Lu Shi looked forward, as if he had never seen Tai Shi Ling crying.

The other courtiers didn't know what happened, they just felt that Tai Shiling was looking for trouble for Prime Minister Lu.Lu Xiang's marriage was settled a few years ago, so it's not appropriate to say it now, is it too late?

They looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to raise their heads to look ahead.

Emperor Chu was disgusted by Taishi's order to cry like this, and said: "You cry so well, how do you measure it, and tell me in detail."

After such a fuss, Wu Jiang's matter was also thrown aside, Lu Xiangyi was worried, and after Tai Shiling finished talking hesitantly, he didn't know how to refute.

The prince's eyes were red, and the elder sister had already promised to marry, but these people came up with such clumsy reasons to stop him, he scolded: "What is your intention, Princess Xinping is about to get married, and the Ministry of Rites has even calculated the good days. It’s hard to guarantee that you have ulterior motives when you say these things again.”

Emperor Chu remained silent, his face was extremely ugly, and he didn't know his attitude.

The prince naturally stood on his eldest sister's side, and after a long time, he didn't refute anything. Tai Shiling was very knowledgeable, and he talked a lot of big things, who knows those things.

Even Lu Xiang stopped after saying the first sentence. This is not a big deal, but a princess surrendered, not related to the fate of the country. Tai Shiling moved it to Zhanghuatai, obviously because he wanted to make trouble big.

Those who can speak in Zhang Huatai are not wine bags and rice bags. Taishi Ling dared to mention it in public. It is obvious that there are people behind him.

After the court was over, the crown prince stayed and said a lot of explanations, but Emperor Chu didn't even hum, he was so angry that he trembled all over.Elder Sister blocked the sword for him, the injury was still not healed, he didn't even say a word, the relationship between father and daughter is as thin as a piece of paper, it's really chilling.

With a chill in his heart, he ignored his previous manners and ordered someone to prepare a car to go to the princess mansion.

Chu Ran just came back, his body was covered in sweat, and he was scrubbed and changed his medicine. Seeing the prince coming in a hurry, he said strangely: "Why are you so flustered, you lost your prince's demeanor, be careful, your majesty will teach you."

She was joking, so she pulled the prince to sit aside, not daring to give the prince an ice cup, so she asked someone to prepare a warm tea, seeing that his face was really bad, she told him funny things to tease him.

"I wanted to give some gifts to Lu Xiang, but I looked at it on the street, but I didn't like anything. Do you know what to give?"

The crown prince felt wronged for her, and lowered his voice: "Sister, I'm afraid your marriage with Prime Minister Lu will not come true."

"Oh, why?" Chu Ran raised his head, glanced at him lightly, and understood his frowning expression, and he was afraid that someone would be a ghost from the middle.

The prince was young, so he couldn't help being a little impetuous when he encountered Chu Ran. After he finished speaking, he saw that the elder sister's eyes were indifferent and didn't care, and he felt better, so he told the story about the court.

Chu Ran was not surprised, but instead asked, "How did Prime Minister Lu say that?"

"Not a single word," said the prince.

"Then don't worry about it. By the way, I heard that you have a treasure box in your palace. How about giving it to me?" Chu Ran was calm, and all he could think about was sending Lu Xiang's treasure.

The prince said anxiously: "Sister, why are you not in a hurry, don't you still want to divorce?"

"Lu Xiang has a way, don't worry, but you can pretend to be anxious, and give me your box of diamonds after returning to the palace." Chu Ran said happily.

The prince was originally full of impatience, but the elder sister was not in a hurry, he sighed, thought for a while, and felt something was wrong: "How do you know that I have diamonds?"

"A few days ago, Your Majesty rewarded you on your birthday. Don't take me for a fool. Hurry up and send it here. One must not be missing." Chu Ran pierced his little thought, and wanted to give it to the little girl without telling her. Secretary sleeping.

The prince was embarrassed for a while, and his delicate eyebrows frowned, "Sister, what do you want to do with so much, I will give you half of it."

"No, I need a box. You can use it for Xiao Si, and you are not afraid of causing trouble to her." Chu Ran said, seeing that the prince was puzzled, he explained kindly: "Si is originally a palace man, so I use too good things." , will make people jealous, there is a queen in the palace, don't come here as you wish."

The crown prince nodded, he was not a person who cares about trivial matters, and said: "I will send it to sister when I return to the palace."

Before dusk, the servants in the East Palace were holding a box filled with lacquer, which contained brilliant diamonds, some big and some small, the big ones were about the size of longan, all of which were rare treasures, no wonder the crown prince was reluctant to part with them.

When she grabbed one, Xinyang suddenly jumped over and exclaimed, "Sister, where did you get this stone?"

"I picked it up, did you play well?" Chu Ran put the stone in, closed the box and locked it.Xinyang looked at it eagerly for a long time, but didn't see anything, and said angrily: "I want to buy some rouge, but when I met Huo Fu, she wanted to give me some, but I didn't want it."

Although she is humble, she also has her own pride.

"In the eyes of the Huo family, you don't want to talk to her. By the way, how old is the girl from the Huo Fu family?" Chu Ran thought of Huo Fu's charming smile in the daytime. The princess can be changed into a princess, so the daughter of the Huo family's daughter It's so good, I'm afraid it's more suitable.

She touched her chin, Xinyang thought for a while and said, "Like sixteen."

"Sixteen is still not sure about marriage, about to wait for Brother Heng Wang." Chu Ran smiled coldly, and was about to drive Xinyang away with the lacquered box in his arms. At this time, Lu Que returned home.

Xinyang felt that sister was hiding something again, so he glanced into her arms and said, "Sister, what delicious food are you hiding, yesterday's flower candy?"

"No, this is a stone. I want to eat flower candy. I'll send someone to buy some." Chu Ran drove her away as usual, thought for a while, and went to meet Lu Xiang through a secret passage.

After ringing the bell, it was Axiu who opened the door.

Chu Ran smiled, looked left and right, and said, "Lu Xiang hasn't come back yet?"

"Come back and meet Mrs. Liu in the flower hall." Seeing her holding the box with one hand, Axiu reached out to take it.Chu Ran refused to give it to her, just like Lu Shi did, he always gave it to her with his own hands.

Seeing that she refused, Axiu led her to the front hall.

Mrs. Liu is the eldest daughter of the concubine of the Lu family. She is ten years older than Lu Shi, and Da Lang is a few years older than Chu Ran. This time, she came here to talk about Da Lang's marriage.

The second is to test the prime minister's attitude towards Princess Xinping, how could she not know the voices in the hall today are so loud.Her aunt specially asked her to ask why she didn't take advantage of the situation and withdraw the marriage. The horoscope is not compatible, and it is extremely detrimental to the family and future.

Mrs. Liu's boudoir name is Lu Qianxi, and she has beautiful features. Chu Ran leaned over the window holding the box to look at it, and saw Lu Shi's slightly frowning eyebrows at a glance, and said to Axiu, "What is she doing here?"

"I want to talk about a marriage with Da Lang." Axiu said.

Chu Ran didn't believe it, and said in a low voice: "If it's for a marriage, Lu Xiang won't make things difficult. Look at her appearance, I'm afraid it's for other things."

Axiu couldn't see inside, so she raised her head to take a look through the gap: "What could be the matter?"

"I guess it's because of the feud with the court." Chu Ran guessed, and she turned to look at Axiu: "Why don't you and I take a gamble?"

"Madam Liu is not a gossip, I'm afraid she wants to find a good wife for Da Lang." Axiu and Lu Qianxi have known each other for many years, she is a concubine, not from Canada.

After she finished speaking, she saw the box that Chu Ran was hugging tightly: "Your Highness loses, so you give the treasure in the box to the servant?"

"Okay, if you lose, you must tell me when Lingyi passes through the house in the future." Chu Ran said.

The two of them just agreed, it's not a big deal, and it's not a big deal to have a fight.Chu Ran carefully moved to the door, squatted down, and put her ear against the door.

Mrs. Lu's voice came from inside: "I also heard from my husband that love is not as important as future, and it's not your fault this time."

If it was really because of the horoscope, Axiu's face turned earthy, Chu Ran raised her lips and smiled, extremely proud, and when she heard Lu Qianxi's voice again: "If the Prime Minister thinks it's not good, just pretend I didn't say it."

Lu Shi inside remained silent, and Lu Qianxi sang a one-man show alone. She held the teacup and was very embarrassed. When she waited and fidgeted, Lu Xiang suddenly said: "Prince Ning's daughter, she has a good character."

Lu Qianxi frowned and said, "Prince Ning is not involved in government affairs, so he can't help Da Lang."

"Prince Ning is a prince, Da Lang is only white." Lu Shi said.

People don't pick on you, so what right do you have to pick on others?Chu Ran complained in her heart, and Lu Qianxi said again: "Then our family will not be able to climb high."

Lu Xiangdao: "Go back, madam, let me see for you, do you have something suitable in your mind?"

"My husband wants to be cousins." Lu Qianxi smiled cleverly.No matter how noble the princess of Ning Wang's family is, she is not as good as the girl from the Runan Hou family.

Chu Ran clicked her tongue and turned to look at Axiu: "The Lu family likes to hang around at home anyway, trying to please my cousin."

Axiu didn't know how to answer, no wonder she wanted to come to the prime minister, as long as the prime minister had ideas about these matters, Marquis Runan would not refuse.

The two talked a few words inside, but Lu Xiang didn't agree, Lu Qianxi sat still for a long time, Chu Ran's feet were numb from squatting, he beat his legs, stretched out half of his head, and looked at Lu Shi inside.

As soon as she raised her head, Lu Shi saw her, pursed her lips slightly to hold back her smile, and said, "It's late, take Madam out."

After chasing away the guests, Lu Qianxi got up and left without shame. When she was exposed on the porch, Axiu stood at the door with a respectful attitude.Without doubt, she walked away.

Lu Shi followed for a few steps, and didn't take much longer. When he turned around, he saw Chu Ran in an apricot-colored dress, with moonlight sleeves, and patterns outlined by layers of gold and silver threads on the hem of the skirt. The layers swayed, and the faint light in the setting sun shattered into light and shadow at the feet.

She bent her lips slightly, it was rare to see her dressed so solemnly, her gaze fell on the box in her hand.

Holding the lacquered box with her slender wrist, she seemed to be having some difficulty. She walked over to take it, but there was a lock on it, and she didn't know what it was.

Chu Ran's youngest daughter showed her mood for the first time, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and said, "For you."

She stuffed it directly into Lu Shi's hands. Axiu felt that she was a bit barbaric, but Princess Xinping was like this on weekdays, making her put on airs like others, I'm afraid Lu Xiang wouldn't like it.

Lu Shi didn't know what was in the box, but when he saw that Chu Ran was able to take the initiative to come over, his heart was as sweet as nectar, and he said with a smile, "What would your Highness want to eat? Instead of sugar, get something else?"

"You can do whatever you want, I have something to tell you." Chu Ran said.

Lu Shi realized that he came over and took the lacquer box and led her to the bedroom. The flower hall is always not a place to talk.

After returning to the room, Chu Ran took out the key to her, and said, "I met Huo Fu today, and he was born like a jasper and shameless flower, and he is more noble than the sister of Ning Wang's family."

If Chu Ran only praised the family for being a good parent, Lu Shi would probably turn cold, but compared with the Princess Ning's family, she understood, and said: "This matter should be done by King Ning."

King Ning and the Huo family have had a feud, and His Majesty will not refuse to let Huo Fu marry the princess, after all, they are not his sons and daughters, so they cannot feel the sadness of parting.

Axiu came over with brown sugar jujube cake, Chu Ran twisted a piece, and said, "I'm just asking what you mean, if you agree, I'll let Uncle Ning do it, it's nothing more than flattering people."

It is not easy to do things that hurt others, and it is not easy to lift someone up to heaven.

Chu Ran was surprised by Lu Shi's agreeing attitude, she thought for a while, and said, "You don't want to fight Wujiang anymore?"

"Send the daughter of the Huo family first, and then fight." Lu Shi looked bad, and the deep and cold eyes made Chu Ran's eyes tremble in fright. She subconsciously said, "Is it the Huo family's work today?"

If it wasn't for that old guy Huo Qi, Lu Shi wouldn't have suddenly changed his mind. Chu Ran pushed the jujube cake in front of her and comforted her: "Don't be angry, it's okay, it's easy to solve."

Taishi ordered himself to die, so he couldn't blame her.

She suddenly spoke softly, which made Lu Shi uncomfortable. She took a small piece of sugar cake and didn't go to see Chu Ran. She said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I can discuss it with the prince."

Chu Ran thought about it, and it was better for her not to participate, so she talked about summer vacation again.

Lu Shi ate a small piece of jujube cake and stopped eating it. She didn't like sweet ones, so Chu Ran took a small bite, which was very appetizing to her.

Chu Ran was coaxed by others in different ways, and Xinyang was probably coaxed by Concubine Ming in the same way in the palace, falling into a gentle village.She smiled, and suddenly felt that Lu Shi was also eating fireworks.

That dream caused her to have conflicts with Lu Shi, and she almost didn't want to see her, thinking of a cold person like Lu Shi, who doesn't understand romance, only knows about political affairs, and even if married, he will be alone all day long.

And that dream implies that the two can't get their heads together, and since they know the ending, it's better not to start.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi is still different from the dream, she looked at Lu Shi's indifferent look with her chin on her cheek, and opened her mouth: "Lu Xiang, I had a dream, and you were all in the dream, but you were cold and fierce. Damn."

She rested her chin, her eyes glowed like obsidian, and she bent her eyes when she finished speaking.

The 15-year-old girl was already naive. Seeing her relaxed look, Lu Shi didn't care, and said, "Your Highness, is this a nightmare?"

in one sentence.Chu Ran nodded her head: "It's really a nightmare." After that time, it was still Lu Shi who dreamed intermittently, and it was all in the prime minister's mansion, and there was no one else.

Once I dreamed that she was brewing green plum wine, and her hands as white as jade were touching the green plums in the water. The water rippled, stirring people's minds for no reason.

The only thing I remember is those hands, and when I think about it in my mind, I always feel that I am not serious.

Such a good dream, I don't remember anything, but I just remember Lu Xiang's hands.

Since Chu Ran said it was a nightmare, Lu Shi didn't want to talk anymore, he didn't want her to think of bad things again, so when he looked up, he saw her staring at his hand with fascinated eyes.

Not knowing what Chu Ran was looking at, she always felt something was wrong, so she hid her hands in her cuffs.

When she hid like this, Chu Ran couldn't see anything, and felt that reality was shorter than that dream.She sat up boringly and said, "I'll go back first."

Lu Shi was reluctant, and said, "Stay here for dinner?"

Chu Ran said she was going to leave, but she couldn't move her feet. She was embarrassed, so she asked casually, "What do you have for dinner?"

"What would Your Highness want to eat?" Lu Shi smiled, Chu Ran was awkward, wanted to stay, but hesitated.

In the hot summer, she ate another jujube cake, and she was not too hungry.
