The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

She asked ignorantly and seriously, but Lu Shi didn't know how to answer her.Today's Chu Ran is simple and obedient, and she is more ignorant of love and affairs than Xinyang. If she answers this sentence wrong, it will definitely teach her badly.

After a while, Lu Yi remained silent.

Chu Ran gritted her teeth, and poked her face with her hand: "Your silence means you read it."

"Your Highness is just stupid." Lu Shi was disturbed by her, and the ambiguous answer made people think about it. Chu Ran thought wildly for a while, and Lu Shi talked about interesting things about Wu Jiang to divert her thoughts.

"When the king of Wujiang fled back then, he took away many skilled craftsmen. In addition, Wujiang is rich and rich, and Nanzhu belongs to it the most. In addition, Wujiang's food and clothing are different from those of Chu. Chu. Therefore, the private treasury of the King of Wujiang is probably more than that of His Majesty."

Chu Ran didn't know these little things. Wu Jiang in the dream was very low-key. After marrying Xinyang, he didn't make trouble anymore. Only after King Heng became the prince did he send tributes to congratulate.Now being said by Lu Shi, it's quite interesting.

"Then what is the relationship between Wu Jiang and the Huo family?"

"Wu Jiang tried to climb up to Huo Qi, His Majesty knew it vaguely, but it didn't happen. When Wu Jiang was activated, Huo Qi would definitely make a move." Lu Shi explained to her.

After eating the clear porridge, Chu Ran’s spirit improved a lot. Lu Shi asked someone to take the map of Wujiang, and pointed his pale fingertips at the two banks: “There are boats in Chu, but they won’t go there. They were severely beaten by Wujiang a few years ago. Coupled with His Majesty's ambiguous attitude, there has been no movement, so the two places are all merchant ships."

Chu Ran followed her gaze to see, and there was a vast ocean under her slender fingertips. She curiously said: "The king of Wu Jiang took advantage of this loophole. He must have made a lot of money over the years. I heard that he still has a lot of private goods."

There is a shady private market in Chu State, and all the good things that are sold are brought over. Chu Ran has heard of it, but has never seen it.

She has never seen it before. Many of the good things Lu Shi gave came from private markets. Lu Shi did not tell her, pointing to Qinghe opposite Wujiang: "Qinghe has a garrison of [-] troops, and the navy is more than the army. Each army has its own generals, this time when we go over, we only look at the ships of the water army and ignore the rest."

"What Lu Xiang means is that the two armies are at odds?" Chu Ran held his chin, he had never heard of this matter before, and then he thought about it, these are things that he has never seen in his dreams, and it is common to not know.

She shook her head, her lips were bright red, Lu Shi glanced at her, looked away and said: "Naturally there will be suspicions, and the Huo family has been in business for many years, and Qinghe also has the Huo family's business."

"I see that the pearls given by Lingyi are not small, and they are not inferior to those rewarded by His Majesty." Chu Ran laughed first when he thought of the past.

Her cheeks were a little rounder than before, and after her expression eased, she was filled with joy, unlike before, when her eyebrows and eyes were angry, she was full of momentum.

Lu Shi suddenly had a feeling that he was raising his children smaller and smaller. If Chu Ran used to say he was tough, now he treats people gently.I don't know if it's good or bad, but when I think about people being by her side and everything is protected by her, these are no longer important.

After sleeping overnight, I arrived at the ferry at noon the next day. The maid moved some clothes to the post house, and left the rest on the official ship.

The county magistrate had been waiting with the doctor for a long time. When he saw Prime Minister Lu, he bowed his head and looked around, but he didn't see Princess Xinping. Look at Her Royal Highness?"

Lu Yi nodded: "Yes."

The magistrate blinked, and the doctor followed the soldier.Originally, the official ship was not supposed to stop. He had checked the route a long time ago. He never thought that Princess Xinping was unwell and stopped. He said that Lu Xiang couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. He stayed suddenly because he was afraid of accidents.

He was suffering in his heart, but Lu Shi didn't care about it with him, and he asked the doctor to do it for Emperor Chu to see.

After the doctor left, the county magistrate's wife led others with seasonal melons and fruits. Knowing that Princess Xinping was not feeling well, she didn't dare to bring snacks.She also brought the melons she had planted herself and raised them in the greenhouse. She planned to eat them herself, but she offered them up when she met the princess.

The watermelon still has cleaning water on it, it is packed in a box, and it looks fresh.After resting for half a day, Chu Ran felt much better. When he saw the melon, he wanted to eat it. He asked someone to wash and cut it.

The county magistrate's wife was still waiting outside, Chu Ran looked at Lu Shi who was looking at the official document: "Do you want a reward?"

"Let the chef make some snacks for you to reward." Lu Shi said, she looked up at the sky outside, and then said, "Can you go to see the private market?"

"Is there a private market here?" Chu Ran's eyelashes twitched, he lifted the quilt and walked down, looking at the documents in Lu Shi's hand, they were letters, and he read them casually, showing the situation in Yingdu City.

She wanted to see it, but Lu Shi didn't stop her. She didn't talk about the private market until after she had seen it: "The private market is in a remote place after midnight, and the county magistrate won't bother with the money. The private market was discovered by us."

Once the prime minister left, King Heng jumped the most. If he wanted to pretend to be filial, he had to do something to win Emperor Chu's favor.The prince did not argue with him, but went to the Ministry of Accounts to ask someone to settle the accounts.

After looking at it for a while, it was not a big deal, Chu Ran was slightly relieved, and said: "I will also look at these in the future, and you are not allowed to hide anything."

Lu Shi smiled, stretched out her hand to pull her closer, their knees touched their knees, she stretched out her hand to pinch Chu Ran's cheek, the touch was very comfortable, she couldn't help pinching it twice, and said: "Go to the private market? "

"Go, of course, do you want to buy it?" Chu Ran was used to being squeezed by her, and felt that Lu Shi's hand was cold, so he took the initiative to hold her hand to warm it up.

"Yes." Lu Shi saw her holding her hand in her palm, and the corners of her lips curved further.

The melon was cut into slices and sent over. Chu Ran tasted a piece and couldn't help nodding: "She has a heart."

After eating, the cook made some special dim sum of Yingdu as a gift, and the magistrate's wife went back to the house in fear.

At dinner, the magistrate's wife brought a three-color meatball soup. Lu Shi glanced at it and ordered it to be taken away, so that the chef could make it again. .

Chu Ran has eaten a lot these days, and Lu Shi's taste has been raised to be tricky.The three-color meatball soup looks good, there are only three in one serving, one in each color, and the soup is delicious.

It was originally a sweet soup after a meal. Chu Ran stopped drinking the soup after drinking it. She had a bad appetite and couldn't eat it, so she was full just looking at it.

She looked at a bowl of meatballs and fed them to Lu Shi with a spoon. After she ate one, she asked, "Is it delicious?"

After feeding three, naturally I asked three times, and Lu Shi took the trouble to reply.She said it was delicious, so Chu Ran asked the chef to cook it tomorrow, and he would try it himself.

After eating, Chu Ran changed her clothes, took off all the valuable hairpins and jewelry, chose a few silver hairpins, and took Li Chu out of the house.

The small county is not big, and it is even more incomparable compared to the capital city of Ying. The economy is very good, and the taxes are paid on time every year, and there is never any delay.Lu Shi had been paying attention to this place for a long time, and he just came down to take a look while Chu Ran was feeling uncomfortable.

After Haishi, there is no one in the neighborhood, and when it is Zishi, every household turns off the lights and goes to bed.

Chu Ran led Lu Shi in front, with a lamp in his left hand and Lu Shi in his right hand, followed by Li Chu and others from a distance.The lights were dark, and the group of people walked very slowly.

It takes half an hour to walk from the post house to the private market, the two of them held hands and talked while walking, but they didn't feel bored, and only after arriving at the private market did they feel that the world had changed.

There were people standing outside the private market, looking around from time to time, probably to watch people, to prevent anyone from coming over.

It's probably because of the influence of the heart, if someone really comes, who can hide it.

The rough linen skirts of the two people will not make people suspicious. There are also women in the private market, but most of them are men.After looking all the way, they were all private goods. Chu Ran glanced at them, and there were also Nanzhu hairpins, which were more exquisitely crafted and more beautiful than those in the palace.

She pulled Lu Shi and exclaimed, "Could it be from Wujiang?"

"The king of Wujiang took all the craftsmen away when he fled back then. Chu is indeed inferior." Lu Shi lowered his voice.

After Chu Ran took another look at the Nanzhu hairpin, the person opposite held the hairpin instead of a box, but red velvet satin instead.The man smiled and said, "Miss, take a look, such a big Nanzhu hairpin is not uncommon in the market, and the tail of the hairpin is made of a small ruby, which is small but not colorful, just suitable for you."

This person is used to talking, and neither of them responded.

The man was used to seeing scenes, especially women holding hands, so he could see how close the relationship was, so he continued with a smile, "The hairpin is beautiful, it would be best to buy it as a gift for your wife."

"Okay, how much money?" Lu Shi responded first, took the hairpin, and Chu Ran beside him was strange, how could this person be so talkative.

The things in the private market are a little cheaper than in ordinary shops, the hairpin costs 20 taels, Chu Ran frowned, he didn't expect it to be so valuable.

After buying the hairpin, the two continued to walk forward. There were still many swords and swords in the private market, which were left by the former general.The knife seller was a big man, and it was cold in the middle of the night, and he was wearing only a single shirt, showing off how good his knife was, cutting iron like mud.

There were a lot of people around, and when they asked about the price of 50 taels, they all backed away, leaving only Lu Shi and Chu Ran for a while.

Chu Ran approached, knelt down to pick and choose from the stalls on the ground, took a fancy to a dagger, and said, "But cut iron like mud?"

"Of course it is, why don't you try it, take a strand of hair, and blow it off." The big man explained attentively, he really pulled out the dagger, pulled a strand of his own hair on the edge of the knife, and blew a sigh of relief. broken.

Chu Ran was amazed that there were really a lot of good products here. She bought the dagger and the knife together, and gave the knife to Li Chu when she returned.He is a member of Lu Shi, so he must have a higher opinion than others.

The private market is only open for two hours, and it won't open much, and they will leave at that time.

Chu Ran found it interesting from the beginning to the end. He took the dagger by himself, and when he went back, he found that the scabbard was dotted with gems. It was a good thing at first glance.She has played with swords and has some kung fu, and she is also very good at self-defense with daggers.

After leaving the private market and going back the same way, Chu Ran walked a bit slowly, slowly.

She had just recovered in the past few days, and yesterday she had a lot of trouble for a long time. She walked at night at night, and she couldn't keep up with her strength, and she couldn't walk fast while holding Lu Shi's hand.There were not many people in the neighborhood, so Lu Shi slowed down and waited for her.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Shi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Chu Ran: "I'll carry you."

Chu Ran was startled, but did not react: "What are you carrying me for?"

After being drunk, he yelled for Lu Shi to carry him, but he had already forgotten about it. Seeing Lu Shi lower his posture, it was extremely weird.But she is not the one who suffers, and she is not squeamish, she has said it on her own initiative, so she is naturally required to recite it.

She leaned on Lu Shi's back, wrapped her arms around her neck, and said strangely: "Why did Lu Xiang think of carrying someone back?"

"It's not the first time. Your Highness asked me to recite it after being drunk." Lu Shi didn't lie, and immediately told her embarrassing things.

She was not a nonsense person. Chu Ran's ears turned red from embarrassment. Feeling Lu Shi's steady footsteps, she stopped moving and talked to her from time to time.

"Lu Xiang, has anyone carried you on their backs before?"

The night was as cold as water, Chu Ran deliberately lowered his voice as if he was whispering, Lu Shi's heart was burning, "Maybe my father has recited it."

"I didn't. Lu Xiang was the first one to carry me." Chu Ran's voice was as soft as the wind blowing past his ears, disturbing his heart.

Lu Shi didn't answer any more, and walked quietly through the night.Chu Ran stopped asking, and leaned on her back, closed her eyes, knowing that Lu Xiang had his heart, how could she remain calm.

No one has ever spoiled her like this before, Zhiwei saw that Lu Shi's kindness to her was all in the minutiae.The prince is sick and unable to take care of himself, so he has no time to take care of her.

People in the world will not hate this feeling, so does Chu Ran. She leaned close to Lu Shi's ear, thought for a while and asked, "Lu Xiang, what's so good about me, is it worth doing this for you?"

She thinks that she is not a good person, and she has done a lot of evil things in her hands. Although she has never had the intention of harming others, compared to Ling Yi, she is still unsatisfactory.

She thought for a while, then opened her mouth and said, "Compared with Ling Yi, I'm actually not as good as her."

When Chu Ran opened the words, he would explain clearly, and Lu Shi listened quietly.It has nothing to do with the reason for love. In the previous life, you couldn't ask for it, but you will cherish it in this life.Chu Ran is ignorant, doesn't know this love, just treat it as an ordinary joke, how can there be many people who are truly loving.

The emperor and empress do not exist, further down, the princes are still young; King Ning cherishes the princess, and after her death, he does not establish a concubine or take concubines, but he is accompanied by actors every day, which is not considered affection.

If you think about it this way, there is nothing left.Chu Ran thought wildly to himself. He used to think that Lu Xiang was hypocritical and would change his mind when he got along with him.

Lu Shi didn't answer, so she continued by herself: "Whether you and I can walk for a long time is still unknown, just like the road in front of you, it's dark and you can't see the road, and if you step on the wrong foot, you will be lost." misfortune."

She had something hidden in her heart, so she started rambling.Although Lu Shi didn't answer, he listened carefully, and finally replied: "Your Highness, you don't have to think about the way to go, just follow me. If you feel unsafe, you can go by yourself. I will lead you."

In fact, it is more appropriate to carry you behind your back.

Chu Ran believed her and didn't say much, especially the way she paved the prince was better than she thought.She began to trust her in her heart, if Lu Shi lied to her, she would have no loss, anyway, everything is fine with the prince.

After figuring it out, he took sugar from his purse, fed it to Lu Shi, and continued to hug her: "Lu Xiang, let me trust you once, if you betray me, I won't be afraid."

The sugar is very sweet, but the words are not pleasant to listen to. Lu Shi replied seriously with sugar in his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense. If Your Highness does not disappoint me, I will be enough."

For this relationship, she put herself in a low position, coaxing Chu Ran not to retire and get married.After coaxing for a long time, you will get used to such a posture, and continue to coax, if possible, coaxing for a lifetime is enough.

After returning to the post house, Chu Ran played with the hairpin through the lights, and the maid came over with the three-color ball after dinner, she ate one, and said to Lu Shi: "There are many good things in the private market, why don't you go to the shop to sell them? "

"Which store dares to take it from the wrong place?" Lu Shi explained, some of them were almost dug out from the graves of the dead, which brought bad luck, and no one dared to take them.

Chu Ran wiped the dagger many times before using it with confidence.

It was almost five o'clock when she finished her work, and she went to bed wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep.Lu Shi stayed up all night, and got up before dawn the next day, busy with other things.

As soon as Chu Ran woke up at noon, Lu Shi came back just after lunch, and the two of them met, and Chu Ran asked someone to make some food for her.Chu Ran didn't ask what she was going to do.

In the afternoon, Lu Shi lay down to take a nap alone, and she had nothing to do. After flipping through the book, she felt bored, so she also lay down with Lu Shi.

Lu Shi slept so deeply that he didn't even know she was coming. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Ran with a peaceful sleeping face. He glanced at the light outside and reached out to embrace her when it was late.

Chu Ran woke up as soon as she touched it. She was in a daze for a while, and wanted to lie down before going to bed, and she didn't want to fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.Lu Shi leaned over, the tip of his nose was full of fragrance, she remembered what Lu Shi carried her back last night, her ears turned red, and she didn't move.

When the two got close, Lu Shi saw her red ears and reached out to touch them: "Why are your ears red?"

Her quiet voice made Chu Ran feel uncomfortable. She pushed Lu Shi away and was about to get up, and said, "The boat has been arranged, and I need to buy something."

"It's been arranged." Most of the tiredness in Lu Shi's eyebrows and eyes has dissipated. Chu Ran's seasickness doesn't know if she will relapse again. Thinking of her pale face in those few days, she is worried. She leaned on the couch and pondered for a while, never thinking of it Answer.

The fastest way to go to Wujiang is the official boat, and Chu Ran didn't propose to take the dry road. During dinner, the magistrate's wife sent someone to bring melons, which was very considerate.

Chu Ran looked at the green slices of melons, opened his mouth to bite one, and suggested: "If she likes to give more, she can give more. This is very sweet. I will send a few more boxes of snacks back."

Lu Shi has a rule, that is, to return gifts, so Ling Yi got a lot of good wine in her prime minister's house.

"It's okay, you can eat as you like." Lu Shi remembered that the enthusiasm of the county magistrate's wife was also instigated by the county magistrate, and the private market caused trouble, and it was easy to lose her official position.

After the boat was arranged properly, the two of them rested, slept a lot during the day, and looked at the roof with their eyes open at night.

Li Chu boarded the boat today to keep an eye on it. The money for the purchase was small, and he was afraid that the things would not be clean. Lu Xiang cared about this, so he went to follow in person.After changing the knife in his hand, it looks even more majestic in his hand.

The post house was arranged more securely, it was quiet and cats and dogs couldn't get in.

The people in the room were tossing and turning, disturbing Lu Shi's restless sleep. She rubbed her forehead and looked at Chu Ran: "I shouldn't sleep in the afternoon."

"It's your fault. If you don't sleep, how can I lie down." Chu Ran pushed the mistake over. She didn't know that she didn't sleep last night, and she was curious about how she took a nap during the day.

Lu Shi shouldn't, but reluctantly agreed with her statement, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed, close your eyes, and be good."

She was sleepy, embraced Chu Ran, and patted her on the back, coaxing her.Chu Ran didn't respond to her, but felt strange instead: "You also slept during the day, why are you still so sleepy, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Ran kindly touched her forehead, and seeing that the temperature was the same as hers, she touched her cheek, slid over the corner of her lips, and hugged her neck, like a feather brushing against her heart, itching unbearably.

Lu Shi was not relieved by her rare worry. She felt a strange feeling in her heart. She grabbed Chu Ran's fumbling hand and pressed it back, "Are you not sleepy?"

Chu Ran was taken aback for a moment, and then she understood, she waved Lu Shi away: "Are you trying to do something unscrupulous?"

His eyes were burning, his skin was bright and jade-colored, seductive, and Lu Shi was so sleepy that he didn't know where to go. He held Chu Ran's hand and stopped moving, with a smile in his eyes: "It's His Highness who said he was not sleepy." of."

"I'll do something serious for you if you're not sleepy?" Chu Ran panicked when she saw her, and regretted taking a nap during the day.In fact, I can't blame her. I was tired from walking last night, and I tend to get sleepy when I'm tired.

Lu Shi's eyes were gentle, his fingers turned soft, and his fingertips slid across the corners of her lips, paused, and rubbed gently, "If your highness is sleepy, please go to bed."

Chu Ran's heart softened after being teased by her, and she brushed her hand away: "I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy, I've been sleepy for a long time."

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Lu Shi said solemnly, and then stretched out his hand to be probed.

Chu Ran: "..."

****

When he woke up, Chu Ran was slightly uncomfortable. The young man was full of energy, and quickly recovered. Remembering what happened last night, he woke up Lu Shi: "Let me see which brochures Lu Xiang read."

This sentence woke Lu Shi up, she turned over, and saw Chu Ran's sunset-like complexion, which was alluring.Seeing that she didn't answer, Chu Ran bit the corner of her lips, and then quickly let go: "Don't want to let me see? I'll just see if there is an iron chain. It's best to lock you up."

Otherwise, how to vent your hatred.

She was annoyed, but Lu Shi felt happy, pursed his lips and said, "His Royal Highness went to find it by himself, I have never seen it before."

Lu Xiang was extremely generous, and Chu Ran had doubts in her heart. She really hadn't looked at it, and what was going on in her mind appeared on her face.In the past few days, she was used to acting in front of others, and she was indifferent to Lu Shi in front of outsiders, and it was a scene in no one's place, so she inadvertently let go of her guard against Lu Shi.

Chu Ran was hugged by her, and she didn't have much resistance. She just wondered how Lu Xiang had changed. The little golden bell was gone, but the old grudges were buried in his heart.

She wanted to leave the boat this afternoon and needed to arrange some things. She wanted to get up first, but before she moved, Chu Ran leaned over and leaned on her: "Lu Xiang, don't you think you have changed?"

"Where?" Lu Shi put his arms around her waist, made a circle with his fingertips, and rubbed her.

It was very hot to hold her hands under the quilt, which was different from the usual cold ones. Chu Ran felt comfortable after being rubbed by her, and her heart to care about this matter faded away.She just lay down blindly, and when she rolled her eyes, Lu Shi couldn't get up from the bed, and the two of them were exhausted like this.

Until someone knocked on the door from outside, Chu Ran pretended she hadn't heard of it, and just didn't move. Lu Shi rubbed it very comfortably, so she couldn't bear to leave.

Lu Shi patted her on the back, "I'm going to board the boat today."

"It's still early, don't be in a hurry." Chu Ran still couldn't get up.

Lu Shi coaxed: "It's getting late, let's go outside together?"

"I'd better keep pretending to be sick, lest His Majesty will be suspicious again." Chu Ran felt uncomfortable when he thought of His Majesty's attitude, and instead of making trouble with Lu Shi, he got up first.

The county magistrate's wife has been here a few times but she hasn't seen Princess Xinping's appearance. She wants to leave today, so she rushes over to see her off, with half a basket of melons, hoping that nothing will happen.

After Li Chu arranged everything, he came to pick Lu Xiang up.

For two days, the county magistrate's most worrying thing did not happen. Lu Lianlian did not enter the county office. Worried about Princess Xinping's condition, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and led a group of people from the county office to send Lu Xiang and Princess Xinping.

Behind him is Mr. Huo. He is not afraid at first, but Mr. Huo is in a different camp from Mr. Lu. He does not have Mr. Huo's foundation and dare not go against Mr. Lu. The princess loves to eat melons, so she picked all the melons at home when she left.

The county magistrate led people to stand at the ferry. It was even more lively than when they left Yingdu City. Chu Ran leaned over the carved window to watch, and saw that the people on the ferry were getting smaller and smaller. He turned to look at Lu Shi: "Collected Evidence?"

"En." Lu Shi responded lightly, and stopped talking, Chu Ran stopped asking, and turned to look at the white bird on the river.

In the evening, the sound of crackling rain hit the window, and the autumn rain came fast and hard, so Chu Ran hurriedly closed the window.After it was closed, she felt cramped, so she wanted to go outside to have a look. She was afraid of seasickness, and then there was a burst of sourness, so she squeezed a sour fruit and put it in her mouth.

She lowered her head and flipped through her purse. The flower candy inside was still there, wrapped in oiled paper, and because of the heavy humidity on board, it melted by itself.After eating the sour fruit, she felt much better, so she put some more sour fruit into the oiled paper bag and stuffed it into her purse.

When he was about to go out to have a look, Lu Shi walked in, his body was half wet, and his face was much paler, probably from the cold.

The maid hurriedly went to make hot tea, took clean clothes, and after a lot of tossing, the rain on the river became heavier.Chu Ran leaned against the window and heard the sound louder. She had never seen rain on the river before, so she wanted to see it when she opened the window.

The night was dark, and when a gust of wind came, the rain came in. Chu Ran shut it up in a hurry, and she turned to look at Lu Shi: "Do you want to dock?" The wind and rain are too heavy, and it is not easy to sail again.

Lu Shi changed into clean clothes and walked to Chu Ran's side after drinking hot tea. He said, "Should not be used. The official ship is big, so the wind and rain are all right."

She just sat aside and didn't lie down under the quilt. Chu Ran didn't care that she was cold, so she lifted the quilt and pulled her in, covering her together.

The corners of Lu Shi's lips curved.

Chu Ran didn't see her smile, so she warmed her hands as soon as she lay down. She was not clear about the situation on the river, so she shook Lu Shi's cold hand: "I always feel unsafe, why don't I stop at the next ferry. Let’s go after the rain stops.”

"It's fine, don't worry." Lu Shi comforted her.

The two fell asleep by the window, and the wind and rain intensified at night, making it impossible to fall asleep due to the noise.

The same is true for Concubine Ming in the palace. Looking at the torrential rain outside the palace, she was worried about Lu Xiang. Such a heavy wind and rain might reach Qinghe safely.

There was no one in the corridor, and the palace people all hid in the hall. Due to the heavy rain, Emperor Chu stayed at Zhanghuatai today and never set foot in the harem.

Xinyang was making nets in the hall, running red silk threads through his fingertips, saying something from time to time.Her wedding day is approaching, and the six ceremonies are more than halfway through, so there is no need to worry if the prince asks someone to watch her.

Her dowry is not comparable to Chu Ran, Concubine Ming stuffed a lot in private, those treasures in the palace are just decorations, useless, it is better to give it to Xinyang, take it to Zhou's house, and have more confidence.

After Xinyang finished laying the net, he lay down on the table and didn't move. He looked at Concubine Ming in front of him: "Ah Ruan, what are you looking at? I'm so tired."

Concubine Ming was in a state of uncertainty, always feeling that something would happen, she tried her best to get Xin Yang to board Princess Xinping's boat, and now they are going to Wujiang, they don't know what will happen.

Feeling agitated, she walked over to touch the back of Xin Pingyang's neck: "Sleep first if you're sleepy, and do it tomorrow."

Xinyang yawned, seeing Ah Ruan frowning, worried: "Do you have something to worry about?"

"Worried about your sister, it's raining so hard outside, things on the river are unpredictable." Concubine Ming sighed.

Xinyang disagreed, shook his head, hugged Ah Ruan's neck, and told her quietly: "Lu Xiang is very powerful, don't worry."

In Xinyang's heart, Lu Shi is like Luoshen.After hearing this, Concubine Ming felt sore for some reason, so she stopped giving Xinyang a hug, and said angrily, "If this is the case, then go find Prime Minister Lu, why are you here with me?"

Ah Ruan was jealous.Xinyang smiled foolishly, and hurriedly hugged her shoulders again, refusing to let go, and kissed her on the cheek: "No matter how good Lu Xiang is, it belongs to others, and no matter how bad Ah Ruan is, it's mine too. Don't be angry, let's go to bed OK."

Concubine Ming lost her temper at what she said, and pinched her waist as if venting hatred.Xinyang deliberately ouched, and muttered: "I don't think anything will happen. I'll go and see that day. The official ship is magnificent, carved with gold."

"A majestic official ship may not be strong." Concubine Ming couldn't help sighing again, praying secretly that nothing would happen to them.

Xinyang is simple, how can she understand her thoughts, after getting on the bed, he kisses her on the brow and eyes, hugs her and doesn't let her go, without Concubine Ming saying anything, she stretches out her hand to untie her clothes, saying: "What are you worried about, there are hundreds of people with you, What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid of natural disasters." Concubine Ming held Xinyang, her skin trembled, and her heart trembled, half-embracing Xinyang, her fingertips slid over the delicate skin on her back.

What she wanted was for Xinyang to be worry-free forever. The second elder brother didn't dare to treat Xinyang badly. The Zhou family knew that Princess Xinping would protect her.Those words that day sounded unreasonable, but also a warning.

As soon as she was distracted, she felt a burst of pain. She pursed the corners of her lips, and when she opened her eyelids, she saw Xinyang's serious expression, even more serious than the netting just now.

His limbs became weak after being kissed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't think about anything else.

In this life, there are not many things that can make her serious.

*****

Concubine Ming asked people to inquire about the previous dynasty, sent a letter to her grandfather asking about Wu Jiang, and always listened to the news ahead.In the previous life, there was no such thing as going to Wujiang, so he was met by Lu Xiang somehow, but Xinyang almost capsized when he went to Wujiang.

The river is very turbulent, and it's hard to say anything. Wujiang's boat is the best, stronger than Lu Xiang's official boat, and almost capsized.

Thinking of the previous things in my heart, I became even more uneasy. I knew that I should pass the message to Lu Xiang, and I can get there if I don't take the water, and the dry road is slower.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I was, I couldn't help but take ginseng soup to Zhanghuatai, and I knew Lin Cairen was pregnant as soon as I went there.

The actors presented by King Ning were astonishing, especially the queen, who was so thorny in her eyes that she wished she could kill Lin Cairen immediately.She endured the congratulations, and offered to be a talented person.

After some congratulations, Concubine Ming couldn't ask what she said, so she led the palace people back to the palace and asked another day.

It rained heavily for several days, and the withered and yellow leaves were hit by the rain, falling all over the ground. The palace people braved the rain to sweep, but there was no sign of clearing up.

Concubine Ming's heart is hanging, and there is no letter from the front, maybe everything is safe.

The prince was also worried about what she was worried about, and kept sending letters to Chu Ran, but how could he receive the letters when he was on the river.He was anxious, but it was better for King Heng. Seeing that the rain was heavy and the crops would suffer, it was better for the court to allocate funds for disaster relief. In order to gain a good reputation, he took the initiative to take a hundred shi of grain out.

Huo's family is behind King Heng, so it's nothing to worry about, pity the other courtiers, reluctantly follow him to deliver food.The crown prince is more honorable than King Heng, and he is not stingy. He paid 120 shi, and the rest are dozens of shi.

The wind and rain were heavy in Yingdu City, and even more so on the river. Not only the wind and rain, but also the waves stirred up by the wind. The official ship had always wanted to find a ferry to dock.

Chu Ran got seasick again, and was dizzy all day long. During the day, she leaned over the window to take a look, and then closed the window. The hundreds of soldiers behind were blown away by the wind, and now the official ship is here. If it is now Just stop the rain, and we will meet at the next ferry.

Lu Shi was quiet, and stayed with Chu Ran every day, and didn't go outside to look again. It was windy, and he ate a lot less. Chu Ran lay on the couch, listening to the sound of wind and rain, and sometimes fell asleep for a long time.

At night, Lu Shi was flipping through the paperwork. The sound of the waves outside was much louder than in the daytime. She glanced at Chu Ran on the couch, put down the paperwork, and fell asleep with her first.

When she got up, the boat shook violently, all the furnishings in the cabin rolled off the table, the lamp was overturned to the ground, and Chu Ran even rolled off the bed.

In just one moment, the cabin was turned upside down, Chu Ran was knocked to pieces, she tried to support herself and tried to get up, when she felt a hand in the dark, it was as cold as before, she knew it was Lu Shi, and supported her hands stood up.

Her back hurt from the impact, and she was lying on the hard bed, unable to lift herself up. She held Lu Shi's hand, "What happened outside, did you hit something?"

Lu Shi didn't know, he didn't dare to leave her alone in the cabin, so someone called Li Chu over, but before Li Chu came, the boat shook again, and someone outside shouted that it had hit the rocks.

I don't know if it's true or not, there was a panic outside the cabin, and a wave rushed into the boat, everyone was not calm.

Li Chu approached with big strides, with a panicked look on his face: "Master Lu, the boat can't move anymore, and it might sink. There are small boats around, so you and Your Highness go first."

He spoke in a hurry, and Lu Shi didn't think about it. He helped Chu Ran and got off the boat. Before he could take any clothes, Chu Ran reached out to take the dagger with him, and the two left together.

The big ship hit the rocks and sank slowly. After the prime minister and princess left, the people beside them would stay on the ship and wait to die.

Those who couldn't swim stood on the boat and cried. The boat was sinking a little bit. Li Chu was not afraid, and tried to calm people's hearts, calling all the fishing boats around.

The wind and rain were too heavy, the fog was misty, and there would be too many fishing boats. Seeing the princess's boat leaving, he felt more at ease, and jumped into the river by himself. He didn't care whether the people on board were alive or dead.

Life and death are determined by God.

As far as the eye can see, the river is full of big waves. When a wave hits, the boat will capsize.

I can't see the road clearly in the dark, and I will hit the rocks inadvertently when I encounter a canyon. When the news was reported to Zhanghuatai, all the officials were silent.

Huo Qi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, the wind and waves on the river were strong, without him needing to do anything, the sky would start to clean up people, he raised his eyes to see His Majesty's uncertain complexion, he just pretended not to speak.

The crown prince was beside him anxiously, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is time for someone to look for it. Even if sister survives, she will be murdered by someone with a heart."

King Heng pretended to be a good man and comforted him: "Prince, don't be impatient and take care of your body. Xinping has been blessed since he was a child, and he won't die so early."

The sentence of early death scared Emperor Chu's eyebrows, and immediately ordered all the counties to look for him, and there was no room for loss.

When the news spread to the harem, the happy queen seemed unresponsive, but Ling Yi cried out first, feeling sorry for Lu Xiangwei first, and immediately wanted to follow to find someone, but was stopped by the queen.

"The river is so big, what are you looking for, don't cause trouble for your father, just wait in the palace, and I will tell you as soon as there is news." The queen suppressed the joy in her heart and pretended to be anxious.

Ling Yi didn't dare to disobey A Niang's wishes, so he ran to Zhang Huatai, wanting to know more.

Concubine Ming was most worried. What she worried about day and night still happened. The boat was not capsized by the waves, but hit the rocks.

What I hope is that they can go ashore safely. In the windy night, there is little hope.

Xinyang cried so much that she didn't eat any snacks. What happened in the previous court made her look out of fame, but when she went to find the prince, she saw Liancheng inside.She touched her toes and waited outside.

Heng Wang's disaster relief work hadn't been completed yet, he took the food from each family, and was overjoyed after hearing the news, so he put the disaster relief matter on hold and went to the East Palace to 'persuade' the crown prince.

Xinyang didn't want to meet King Heng, so scared he hid in the side hall and didn't dare to go out. He hid behind the door of the hall, only showing half of his head to see.Hengwang's complexion was ruddy, flamboyant and handsome, but the prince's complexion was much worse, presumably because he was worried about Auntie.

She quietly leaned over and heard Heng Wang saying: "The official ship hit the rocks,
