The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

What she was talking about was the little golden bell on her feet.

Chu Ran didn't care about the prince's affairs, and her ears were red, "Did you steal it from me?"

"I took it from the dressing table, so it's not considered stealing." Lu Shi sat on the side in a leisurely manner, his eyes fell on the cage in the hall, "Do you want to send these back to the East Palace?"

"No, I'll make you a fox fur so that you won't be cold in winter." Chu Ran got angry and pulled Lu Shi back, and ordered the maid to put away the leather goods. For Lu Xiang, it won't be worse.

She hurriedly dragged Lu Shi to the bamboo building. In a hurry, the servants on the road gave way one after another. They didn't know what happened, and after a glance, they went back to work.

There was wind under Chu Ran's feet, and he pulled Lu Shi to a trot.Lu Shi couldn't run fast, so his pace slowed down, and he stumbled when he stepped on a stone. Chu Ran then stopped, and half-sarcastically said: "Lu Xiang sometimes has poor physical strength."

Lu Shi gasped slightly, his brows and eyes became more charming, especially seeing Lu Xiang who was swaying last night, Chu Ran couldn't face up to her pair of eyes deep into the deep sea.

She grabbed Lu Yi's hand and tightened it again, "You mustn't look at me like that."

"Could it be that you want to cover my eyes again?" Lu Shi smiled lightly, and after calming down, he took her hand and walked towards the bamboo building.

Early autumn was neither hot nor cold, and the temperature was just right. After returning to the bamboo building, Chu Ran couldn't wait to close the door, pulled Lu Shi to the side of the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and put her feet under her feet: "Untie them first."

She didn't like it, and Lu Shi didn't force it. He bent over and untied it, and put it into a small red-lacquered box.

As soon as Lu Xiang put it away, Chu Ran stretched out his hand to snatch it away, not forgetting to say, "Thief."

Lu Shi was not annoyed, and sat beside her, "Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"Not yet, how can I be in the mood to eat." Chu Ran put the small box next to the pillow, feeling depressed, and looked up at Lu Xiang: "Although I am angry with him, I can't just sit idly by. The emperor is ruthless, but he is so dedicated I don’t know how to measure it, and I can’t just watch him in trouble and not help.”

She hugged her knees with her hands, her heart seemed to have sunk into icy water, and she pursed her lips, "I am also responsible for what happened today. The little bedroom secretary shouldn't be left behind. I only treat him It's a good thing to have someone you love, how could you know that he would lose his sense of proportion because of this."

"The prince's faults should not be recited by you." Lu Shi woke her up. In the previous life, Chu Ran had borne too many faults for the prince, and it is still the same in this life. She moved the corners of her lips, feeling anxious in her heart, "Aran, prince He is only looking for you for his beloved, maybe he never thought that you would be against the Crown Princess."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. Even so, it really sounded like she was trying to sow discord.She looked at Chu Ran anxiously, but said nothing.

Chu Ran also thought of a lot, and smiled sarcastically: "I didn't see me yesterday, so I waited for half a day outside Zhanghua Terrace, and today I came to please me again. The prince is worthy of being a prince, and he has a beloved..."

She hesitated to speak, got up and looked at the acacia tree outside, closed her eyes to think about the things in this life and her dream, a bold idea flashed in her mind, she assisted the prince because she listened to A Niang's words, and also for the sake of Lian's family. But if you really want to count, how many people will feel sorry for her?

Her body was stiff, almost numb, as if she was in an abyss, and the Albizia julibrissin outside seemed to be at a different time from her, as if it was in a dream and did not belong to her.

Albizia julibrissin was so beautiful that she felt unworthy of it.

The loneliness in her heart gradually deepened, she sank slowly in the water, and when she took a deep breath, someone behind her hugged her, her nose was entwined with a familiar fragrance, her throat felt sour, and she clenched the corners of her lips.

Lu Shi embraced her, imitating her usual movements, and rubbed her cheek, "Are you sad? The prince is a loved one, and if he loses his balance in his heart, he will naturally do things that hurt you unconsciously. "

These principles are what she has learned all her life.In her previous life, she couldn't tell whether Ran really loved her. Between her lover and her younger brother, she always chose the latter.

Now, the prince is also facing the same choice. He chooses the opposite, his lover.

This was the scene she wanted to see very much before. She selfishly wondered if Chu Ran would be sad, if she would be as sad as she was, but when she really faced it, she didn't feel any pleasure.

Chu Ran is sad, how can he be happy.

She could only comfort the person in her arms, "Sisters and brothers are not husband and wife. They cannot live and die together, and share adversity. You have your own life, and he will too. His happiness and sadness are borne by others, and you don't have to." To share, let alone face life and death with him."

"Aran, it is difficult to reconcile with my mother because she regards me as an enemy and almost kills her. These thoughts are deeply ingrained, so I never think about unraveling them. She hates me, and I But you never blamed her, now, you should also understand that if a person has true love in his heart, the rest will all be kicked out. If the prince has true love in his heart, he will ignore your feelings."

Chu Ran listened quietly, thinking of the last scene of the dream in her mind. Did she die for the Lian family in the dream?She faintly felt that it was not as she imagined, how could she leave heartlessly in her dream.

She felt Lu Shi's unique body temperature and rubbed her ears together, "Lu Xiang, do you think it's worth taking care of me so much?"

"I should ask you. Do you think it's worth it?" Lu Shi asked her back, and when she looked at her slightly red eyes, she held back fearing that she wanted to cry. She was young after all.

Lu Shi's gentleness makes people unable to resist sinking. Chu Ran has never experienced love. She doesn't understand too deep love. She only knows that the relationship between the two is hidden by the prince. In the eyes of others, they are "resentful spouses". Now thinking about it, Is it worth it?

The prince's change made her doubt many things, "probably not worth it."

"Give yourself up." Lu Shi scolded, "I have nothing to do, as long as His Highness feels happy." She is not demanding, and has been familiar with her living habits since raising a cat. Chu Ran is not a heartless person. I can't blame her for anything, and she couldn't tell the situation clearly when she just blamed it.

Figured it out, Chu Ran's decision was also forced by the emperor, and if she didn't die, many people would be implicated.

"Lu Xiang said so that people don't understand, as long as I am happy, Lu Xiang will not feel unwilling?" Chu Ran said, her feelings for Lu Shi are very strange, and she fell into her trap step by step, she was confused But it is as sweet as it is.

Lu Xiang, whom everyone envied, was full of her heart, and she would be delighted that the talented woman in Yingdu was her pillow.

Lu Shi smiled lightly: "I will not be reconciled, and I will never let you in this life.

His Highness took a step away from the minister, do you feel at ease in this way? "

"It's only natural for Lu Xiang to do this. If Lu Xiangruo has someone else in his heart, I will definitely not give up and imprison you for the rest of my life, um..."

Before she could finish her arrogant words, Chu Ran couldn't help but limp in her arms. There was a burst of warmth on her neck, which made her tremble uncontrollably. She tried to stand still, "You can only bite me once, okay?" pain……"

Lu Shi had a deep smile in his eyes, "It's time to eat something."

****

The next day, Chu Ran went to the palace to see the princess, weighed the pros and cons, and explained the situation in the palace: "Don't be stubborn, the princess, just sleep with me, no matter how favored she is, how can she surpass you? If she gives birth to a child, You can definitely come and raise her. It’s like the matter of the harem, where the queen is respected, but now she’s not going out behind closed doors, everything depends on your majesty.”

"Sometimes it's useless to be stubborn. Even if you don't agree today, if the crown prince raises it himself, you will lose face. You should know that a woman enters the palace and depends only on her husband's favor. I'm not saying things in a bad way, I'm just making matters worse." Break it into pieces and put it in front of you, whether you listen or not is up to the princess herself."

Chu Ran persuaded for a long time, but the prince's heart is irreversible, and she can't control it, so it's better to persuade the princess to open up her heart knot, look away as soon as possible, and don't be persistent.

I don't know what she was thinking, but not long after leaving the palace, she heard that there were more Xiao Zhaoxun in the East Palace, and her status was not high.

A few days later, the princess's father moved from the fifth-rank official to the Ministry of Rites, which was regarded as the crown prince's compensation.

In the twinkling of an eye, when the sweet osmanthus was fragrant, the crown prince went to the country of Song as an envoy, accompanied by thousands of people.

Lingyi has been out of the palace in recent days. She took the wine she brewed to go to Xiang's mansion. It was a holiday, and Lu Xiang was in the mansion. Chu Ran received her, asked the maid to take the wine, and said with a smile: "It's boring in summer. , I also brewed a few jars of wine, Ling Yi came to try it."

Ling Yi had never met Lu Xiang before, but when she heard that Sister was making wine, she frowned and said, "Is Sister's wine safe to drink? Last year, the Prince's elder brother gave me a pot. It was said that Sister made wine. After I drank it, I felt the taste No, you don't want to harm me now, and the wine given to Lu Xiang is sour and unpleasant."

Chu Ran was too lazy to listen to her, so she asked Axiu to get the wine, poured it for her herself, and said with a smile: "Don't refuse, this is the wine that Lu Xiang taught me to make, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is the same as the one made by Lu Xiang. No difference."

"Sister, I don't want to drink." Ling Yi held her nose and refused to drink. She had a bad impression of Sister, so she stood up and was about to leave: "Sister, I have something else to do. Go back to the palace first, and drink it yourself." Just fine."

Coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, Chu Ran held the wine glass and handed it to Axiu: "Don't let her see Prime Minister Lu next time."

It was rare for her to speak so firmly. Although Axiu was surprised, thinking of the relationship between His Highness and Lu Xiang, she really shouldn't have good words for a woman like Princess Lingyi who is pestering Lu Xiang.

Lingyi's wine was used by Chu Ran to water the flowers. At the end of autumn, it was a bleak time. The flowers and leaves withered, and if a pot of flower wine was poured, the bonsai would be broken in the afternoon.

The flowers were placed on the porch outside the house. Ling Yi's three jars of wine watered Lu Xiang's three pots of peony flowers.There are not many peonies in autumn, and they were lost in the hands of Princess Xinping before they entered the greenhouse.

After Lu Xiang walked out of the study and returned to the main courtyard, she saw eye-catching flowers and plants under the corridor. She paused, slightly puzzled: "Why is it broken?"

"You don't know, Princess Lingyi sent three altars of wine brewed by herself, and His Highness used them to water the flowers. He said it was very suitable, so he spoiled it." The maid replied tremblingly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang smiled instead of anger, with a smile on his brows and eyes, "It really matches, move out."

The maid stood still and did not dare to move, "Your Highness said that it will take seven days before we can move out."

The people in the house heard the words outside, and came out and asked, "Does Xiang Lu think it looks good?"

"It's pretty." Lu Shi glanced at her, took her hand back to the house, and told the maid: "Listen to Your Highness."

Chu Ran was very satisfied, holding Lu Xiang's face, and lightly touching the corner of her lips, her eyes were clear: "Lu Xiang is so good."

She ran away after kissing, Lu Shi reached out to stop her, pulled him into his arms, and clasped her waist: "That's all your Highness said?"

The two of them used to fight, and the maid took it for granted, so she closed the door and avoided it from a distance.

Chu Ran didn't struggle in the room, and touched the corner of her lips again, "Okay, let me go, don't you feel sorry for your flowers? A few days ago, Lu Xiang would water the flowers when he was free, and people would stare at them." Don't be cold, now that she has killed her, she is not angry.

"Your Highness is angry and waters the flowers with wine, who should I go to complain about?" Lu Shi stared at her with a smile that was not a smile.

"Lu Xiang went to talk to Ling Yi, wouldn't it be okay to send two jars of wine? But it's another three, blame her." Chu Ran narrowed his eyes, revealing a bit of disdain, and took Lu Shi's hand away from his waist.

She is stronger than Lu Shi, and she always gives way to her, but she really doesn't want to let her be hugged, and Lu Shi has nothing to do with her.As the man slipped away from his arms, Lu Shi sighed silently, "Your Highness is irrational."

"So what, Prime Minister Lu is very capable, how about bringing those flowers back to life?" Chu Ran paused as she walked to the inner room, looked at her quietly, and raised her eyebrows.

Lu Shi had seen the staff, and was a little tired, but seeing her jealous, felt like a pool of spring water in his heart, warm and sultry.She lightly smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible." She walked over slowly, and whispered in the ear of the jealous kitten: "It's impossible to bring the dead back to life, but once your Highness cries, I don't care about it."

"Lu Xiang, shameless..." Chu Ran thought about it for a while and only thought of this sentence. Lu Xiang doesn't care much about things these days. He seems to want to delegate power or let Heng Wang jump around. He chooses to let go of many things. She spent much longer playing around.

A few days ago, she also proposed to do business in Qinghe, get in touch with Haiyuan, turn her eyes away from Yingdu City, and not compete with the Huo family. She had time to write a thick strategy book for Chu Ran to read. .

Chu Ran's dependence on Lu Shi is getting deeper and deeper, but she will listen to everything she says. The money from the sea freight is far from enough to support the Lian family's military supplies. After reading Lu Shi's strategy, he is also moved and follows She went later to ask how the follow-up was going.

Lu Xiang was a bit annoyed, the strategy was a little esoteric, and he couldn't understand many things, so Chu Ran had no choice but to ask for advice.

She cursed shamelessly, but Lu Xiang turned on the strategy, and said indifferently: "A few days ago, someone called Mr. Chen."

Chu Ran took the strategy back, "Lu Xiang is very annoying, and there are still many doubts about the strategy, so I deliberately asked me to ask you."

Lu Shi shook his head helplessly: "Your Highness's knowledge is just not solid." She walked over, put down the strategy and knocked her on the head, hating iron for not being able to make a solid statement: "I thought Your Highness was very smart, but I didn't want to be incomprehensible."

"You despise me?" Chu Ranpin had other meanings. Doesn't everything make sense because you despise stupidity?How many people in Yingdu City are as precocious as Lu Shi, she gritted her teeth and said sarcastically: "Lu Shi knows everything, but those picture albums are the most familiar."

She nailed the word "picture album" very accurately. After Xinyang gave it to her, she didn't know how to restrain herself, and swaggered out of the side door of the Prime Minister's mansion with candies. Axiu had been with Lu Xiang for many years, and she knew something was wrong at a glance.

Xinyang is also worthless, and Lu Xiang said everything when he asked casually. This is probably the pig companion in the world.

Lu Shi is very free today, she embraced Chu Ran from behind, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to do these days, your Highness, do you want to stay in another hospital for a few days?"

"Lu Xiang is very free recently, so I won't go. Have you finished reading your picture book?" Chu Ran didn't want to talk to her. Recently, Mrs. Lu always sends a post asking her to go to Second Master Lu's new mansion.

Lu Huaisi's prestige in the court is getting higher and higher, and he has half the credit for the warship. His Majesty put him in the official department. The old lady was overjoyed, and she didn't mention the annoyance of the separation of the family, showing off her second master's skills every day How, her ears were callused.

Lu Xiang had nothing to do these days, so she asked from time to time why she was not busy, and if His Majesty was annoyed.Lu Shi pretended not to hear it. When she was dealing with the old lady, she realized that the album was missing...

No need to think about who took it away, and when she asked for it, the shameless person refused to give it to her.

"How do you know where I'm hiding..." Chu Ran muttered in a low voice. It was strange to say that Lu Xiang seemed to know her very well, and every time she hid some good things, she could find them.

Lu Shi couldn't help but smile when he heard this muttering. In his previous life, Chu Ran liked to hide things in the dressing table, where there were many jewelry hidden.She seldom touched it, and over time she became Chu Ran's only place.

Who knows that her habit has not changed in this life, and she will see novel gadgets every few days.For the first time after getting married, she hid the little golden bell in it, but she didn't realize it later, and put the picture album in it grandiosely.

Lu Shi didn't need to think about it, he saw it, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew that it was sent by Xinyang.

She looked at Chu Ran's troubled expression, and bent her lips into a smile, "If you want to see it, you can find it yourself."

Chu Ran was startled, "Where are you hiding?"

"Your Highness go find it yourself and tell you what to do. Since I can find the place where His Highness is hiding, His Highness should go find it by himself. This is fair and I won't bully you." Lu Shi brushed her fingertips across her ears. , she pulled him into her arms and said in a low voice, "Your Highness should pay back the flowers."

Chu Ran pushed her away: "Take a bath first."

After finishing speaking, she went out of the house to take a bath, Lu Xiang was so weird, next time I will hide it in another place, it is a pity that those picture albums, she is busy with shipping, she hasn't read them yet, and it is cheaper for Lu Xiang.

She went to take a bath angrily, and when she came back, Lu Shi was writing on the desk. She walked over and saw that she was adding some tactics to the strategy. come and see?"

"You just write it first, and I'll read it later." Chu Ran ignored it, but Lu Shi grabbed her hand, so she had to go back and sit down, watching her write.After a while, Lu Xiang stopped writing and stared sideways at Chu Ran's profile.

After Chu Ran noticed her gaze, the corners of her bright red lips pursed, her eyes reflected Lu Yi's cold eyebrows, and the coldness and scorching heat seemed to be slowly merging.She looked down at her hands, the fingertips were slender, white as glaze, she lowered her eyes slightly, held her hands behind her, and then kissed the back of her hands.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and Lu Shi held her waist with the other hand, getting closer, getting closer, and the coldness was gradually replaced by the scorching heat.

Chu Ran was put on the case, and was forced to have no way out by serious people: "Lu Xiang has been studying this recently? Xinyang is about to become your sister. Next time she is in trouble, if Lu Xiangruo doesn't help her, I'm afraid it will be true." I'm sorry for her."

"Xinyang will be fine. She has a concubine Ming, so why should I rescue her?" Lu Shi's eyes were calm, as if he was dealing with official documents on weekdays, with a rigorous and solemn attitude.Chu Ran took a deep breath, thought about this sentence, and then took the initiative to climb up to Xiang Lu, "Why don't you tell me how you found it first, Xiang Lu?"

It's hard to say what happened in the previous life, Lu Shi didn't answer, looked at her eyes as clear as water, felt her hotness, the deep coldness in his heart was covered by a touch of joy, Chu Ran is different after all.

At least she wouldn't let her bully her in her previous life, at least she wouldn't hide things on the dressing table after the golden bell disappeared for the first time.

If she didn't answer, Chu Ran would not be satisfied. After the pajamas on her body were removed, she said first: "Lu Xiang is very annoying."

****

The prince hosted a banquet in the East Palace, and invited Chu Ran and Lu Xiang, which was regarded as a small farewell banquet. It was originally an invitation to Hengwang, but who knew that Hengwang was leaving the city, and Xinyang went to the banquet alone.

After the banquet was over, the prince left Auntie behind, looking at the bleak scenery outside, his eyes filled with depression like an abyss, "Auntie doesn't like Ah Nan?"

"I like what she does, so you won't be jealous." Chu Ran was indifferent. The relationship between the two of them has been estranged a lot in the past few months. Whenever the prince has something to do, she will still come forward. This is a habit developed over the years.

The prince simply smiled, and the heavy crown was pressed on his body, making his expression majestic. He held Chu Ran's hand and said in a low voice: "I wanted to take Ah Nan away, but she couldn't go because of the exhaustion of the boat. , look after the unborn nephew a little bit more."

"She, she has a child?" Chu Ran was stunned for a moment, brushed off the prince's hand, and then held her own wrist. A few days ago, she used words to prevaricate the prince's concubine. If Ah Nan had children, she would embrace them upbringing.

She didn't want it to happen so soon, she looked directly at the prince's plea: "You can entrust the princess to the princess." She has lived outside the palace for a long time, and the affairs in the palace are out of her control, how can she help? .

The prince smiled wryly: "If she has this ability, why should I come to ask my sister. The princess looks honest and courteous, but in reality she is narrow-minded. If she is really narrow-minded, that's all. I can't worry about being unable to control the East Palace."

Chu Ran had mixed feelings in her heart, and it was a good thing for the prince to have an heir, so she agreed in a daze: "I will do my best."

There is one more person in the world who is related to her blood, among them I don't know whether to be happy or sad, she walked out of the East Palace like stepping on floating clouds, the carriage of the prime minister's mansion outside the palace was waiting, but when she was about to get in the carriage, Ling Yi got out of the carriage.
