The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

The weather in April and May is getting hotter, the treetops are motionless, and there is no wind, and the Xiangfu is a bit hot, like some dull thing hits the heart and cannot dissipate.

The footsteps of the maids in the mansion were light, and no sound could be heard. The Prime Minister ruled them rigorously but tolerantly, especially Princess Xinping. There was a kind of compatibility between the two of them.

Chu Ran was so hot that she lay on the newly made mat, listening to Axiu's nagging words: "The doctor said that you should eat less desserts in the future, and you don't need to use ice in summer. ..."

"Axiu, do you know why you can't get married?" Chu Ran covered her ears, and really didn't want to listen any more. Lu Shi was used to being silent, but the maidservants who served her close to her were quite different.

Axiu was worried every day, seeing that His Highness didn't care, she pretended to be vicious and said: "Your Highness is disobedient, I will tell the Prime Minister."

"Go, go, where did your prime minister go, why did you wake up and see no one?" Chu Ran's spirit was mostly recovered, and when he first woke up, he heard Lu Xiang say that he would go to Shu Ya in the afternoon, and he didn't want to disappear in a blink of an eye.

Axiu pretended not to know, quietly retreated to the bedroom, and not long after, she saw Princess Xinyang happily carrying a lacquered and carved box coming, before she had time to speak, she ran into the room.

"Sister, sister, I got a good thing, you come and try it." Xinyang happily approached Chu Ran, and opened the small box like offering a treasure. Inside was a nine-square grid with nine snacks inside.

The box is exquisite and hidden inside, Chu Ran found it interesting, sat up and picked a piece of fine sugar and ate it in his mouth: "It's so sweet."

Axiu was helpless, she couldn't persuade them, so she had to stare at the two of them and talk.

Xinyang didn't know, pinched a piece of dried apricot meat with his nails and bit his mouth, and said, "Uncle Ning Wang gave it to me. I went to a hot spring a few days ago, and when I came back, someone brought it over."

Chu Ran was surprised: "Did you go to the hot spring?"

Xinyang opened his eyes wide and nodded, "Yes, there are a lot of women playing in the water. They have good-looking bodies, and they are very flexible in the water like fish, which is very interesting."

The hot spring hall is comparable to the brothel, but the women in the hall still need to be able to play in the water, which is more necessary than the women in the brothel.

Seeing that sister was curious, Xinyang said: "But the inside is quite clean, but it's just for looking at it, you are not allowed to touch it, and left after watching a scene."

"That's Uncle Ning's self-care, and it won't be too much to take you with you even if you want to touch it." Chu Ran reminded her, but she didn't want Uncle Ning to play so well with Xinyang in such a long time, so he would take it with him Go to the spa.

Xinyang doesn't understand the twists and turns in it, and only treats the hot springs as an ordinary theater. After watching the play, it ends, and there will be no other stories.

The two talked about each other once, and Axiu's spirit was shaken, and she hurriedly said, "The prime minister is back."

Chu Ran probed outside, "Where did Xiang Lu go?"

"Go to the East Palace to meet the prince." Lu Shi stepped in after hearing the sound, and his eyes turned cold when he saw the small box with nine squares on the couch.

Xinyang was the most sensitive to her eyes, and he felt terrified when he was seen. He quickly covered the small box, hugged it in his arms, and said, "Sister, it's late, Xinyang will come to see you some other day."

She reacted quickly, ran faster, and disappeared from Chu Ran's eyes in an instant. She sighed: "It's fine for Lu Xiang to be fierce, but he is fierce when he sees people. Look, Xinyang is scared, and he is out of his mind."

Lu Shi ignored her eccentric words, found a handkerchief to wipe the sugar sprinkles on her hands, and said, "Your Highness, eat less sugar in the future."

"I didn't eat much at first, and if I eat less, there will be nothing. Lu Xiang will talk about whoever provokes you again, and he will be a murderer when he comes back." Chu Ran hugged her shoulders with both hands, and leaned softly in her arms, Rubbing her cheek affectionately.

Chu Ran's body was slightly hot, warm and soft, like being coquettish or trying to please, Lu Shi's heart softened after being rubbed by her, his expression gradually eased, and said: "Prince."

"Did the prince provoke you? You were the one rushing to the East Palace, but why did he bully you? Where did Prime Minister Lu's prestige go?" Chu Ran was slightly surprised.

"Your Highness is blatantly partial." Lu Shi made a gesture to untie her wrapped hands.Chu Ran kept pestering him, and quickly changed his words: "The prince is the prince, why does he make you unhappy, let's talk about it first."

Her face was flushed red, but the corners of her lips were pale, Lu Shi couldn't bear to tell her those unpleasant things, "It's nothing serious, what else is wrong with you?"

"What bastard did the prince do to make you angry again, don't hide it from me." Chu Ran had lingering fears, and there were not many things that could make Lu Shi angry.

She asked, Lu Shi didn't want to cause trouble for her, and it's best not to bother with these things during the time of convalescence, she thought for a while and said: "The prince has done a lot of stupid things, I can't explain them clearly, I will talk about them when you recover from illness, by the way." , the doctor has changed to a new drug, and there may be new progress."

Chu Ran didn't hold out hope, and she couldn't find the reason after watching it intermittently for half a year, and it was useless to change the prescription. She didn't care, and said, "Listen to Lu Xiang."

"Your Highness is duplicity. If you listen to me, eat less sugar. Xinyang will not come here again these days." Lu Shi said.

"Can you control Xinyang? You can just control me." Chu Ran despised her, and frightened Xinyang to be timid.

Lu Shi smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheeks with low fever, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Xinyang will have other things to do in the near future."

"You want to bully her again?" Chu Ran came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and pulled her to lie on the couch together, leaned close to her, and stared at her smiling face: "Lu Xiang, you can't always bully me!" Child, you have the ability to bully Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty never came to let you eat candy, so I don't care what he does." Lu Shi clasped one hand around her waist to prevent her from falling off the couch due to her lack of strength.

Chu Ran wanted to know how she plotted against Xinyang, so she had to kiss her to find out, "Lu Xiang, tell me, what good method do you think of?"

It should be a bad idea.

It's just that she can't say it anymore, and Lu Xiang will be annoyed if she says it, so she can't coax her.

Lu Shi was supposed to be a little sleepy, but after being kissed by her, he felt much better. After holding him down, he said, "Be serious, don't mess around."

"Fake prudence, then don't touch me for a month." Chu Ran snorted softly, turned down and ignored her, and half-closed her eyes to think about where the prince provoked her.

The bastard prince knows how to irritate people.

***

Although the queen in the palace can step out of the middle palace, the right to control the palace is still in the hands of the concubine Xian, and the concubine Ming is assisting, the queen has not received half of the benefits

The little prince under Lin's knee is not in good health, and he is taking care of it with decoction. After being favored by His Majesty, Lin doesn't care about the affairs of the palace. He divides the world, and the queen is in name only.

After Concubine Ming came to power, Ximen's place was properly arranged, Xinyang's entry and exit was very convenient, and Lingyi was like no one in the palace. His Majesty no longer favors her, and the palace people are not as respectful as before.

The Xinyang carriage quietly entered the palace from the west gate, and the palace guard let it go, and the journey was comfortable.

After seeing Concubine Ming, Xinyang took out the Jiugongge food box and put it in front of her, and was about to hug her with joy, but Concubine Ming turned slightly and refused to hug her.

Sensitive Xiao Xinyang saw that something was wrong, so he immediately stood up straight and looked at her blankly: "Ah Ruan, did I do something wrong?"

Concubine Ming lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, squinting at her, "How is your Highness enjoying these days?"

"Happy, Uncle Ning took me to the hot spring, I just took a look, I didn't mess around, I didn't think about it." Xinyang reflected indifferently, she rubbed against Ah Ruan miserably, and dragged her with her little hands cuffs, immediately promised: "I will not go in the future."

"Whether you go or not is in His Highness's heart, it has nothing to do with me." Concubine Ming ignored her obedient appearance, apologized quickly after making a mistake, and forgot about it when she turned around.

If someone hadn't reminded him, if he went to the hot spring this time, he might do something shameful next time. King Ning was used to misbehavior outside, so he took his younger generation out to have fun.

With a headache, she didn't look at the people behind her, and brushed her hand away from her cuff, "What can His Highness's guarantee cover?"

Xinyang didn't dare to sit on the couch, half kneeling on the pedal, thinking hard about what his guarantee would be worth.She is really poor, and there are not many valuable things in the mansion, and they cannot be used as guarantees.

She thought for a long time, but she really didn't know how to answer. She sighed, "Ah Ruan, I don't know what you are talking about. How did you know that I went to the hot spring? Did Uncle Ning tell you? Did he tell you?" I just went to see the world and did nothing."

"You said just now that you read it, and you changed your mind so quickly?" Concubine Ming didn't feel sorry for her, and directly exposed her falsehood.

Xinyang was in trouble again, she really didn't do anything, she climbed onto the couch carefully, pushed Concubine Ming, with silhouettes in her wet eyes, she looked at her miserably: "I have to see when I have eyes, curious You have to look at it from time to time, and, what’s more, it’s just watching the girl’s house playing in the water, and you can’t see the other side.”

"It's a pity for you?" Concubine Ming's tone became cold again.

Xinyang took advantage of the opportunity to climb onto the couch, stared at his boots, and lay down next to Concubine Ming familiarly, "Ah Ruan, I promise I won't go next time. Have you seen Uncle Ning?" She was worried that Ning Wang also said some bad things, and Ah Ruan couldn't see in the palace, so she might have been cheated by her.

Concubine Ming still ignored her, moved into the couch, separated her by one person, and said, "How did you provoke Prime Minister Lu?" Prime Minister Lu was busy with political affairs, so he didn't care where Xin Yang went, most likely he still provoked her. It's her time.

Xinyang didn't understand these things, so he crawled to her side again, and got close to her: "Prime Minister Lu? Does the Prime Minister's residence live by the sea?"

"Live by the sea?" Concubine Ming didn't understand what she meant, and she didn't want to get angry with her anymore.

Xinyang was not happy, and said coldly: "The Xiangfu is not by the sea, what is she doing so leniently..."

Concubine Ming: "..."

***

Xinyang really did what Prime Minister Lu said, and he no longer went to the prime minister's mansion.

Chu Ran, who understood the weirdness, did not believe that this was a natural phenomenon. It must be Lu Xiang who threatened the little girl again. In the two years since they got married, Xin Yang had been scared many times.

She was helpless, and she couldn't get out of the mansion, so she had to let the maidservant pass, but who knew that the maidservant had never seen the Xinyang people, and the people from Xiangfu were turned away.

Xinyang was really angry.

She could only clean up the trouble caused by Lu Xiang. There were still some diamonds in the storeroom, and Axiu picked some up and sent them over.

She was recuperating, and she couldn't even get out of the yard, and she didn't know what Lu Xiang was busy with, so she couldn't see anyone all day long.After the maid sent her there, Axiu came to report in a hurry: "Second Master fell into the water and drowned."

Lu Huaisi drowned?Chu Ran supported the handmaid's hand to sit up and lean on the pillow, thinking about the origin of this matter, could it be that King Heng couldn't sit still and started to kill or who moved his hand?

How could a well-behaved person drown and be an ignorant child?

"When did you drown and where did you find it?"

Axiu said: "I was drunk at the hot spring last night. After returning home, I found it in the lotus pond in the mansion. The lotus leaves are blooming in summer. At first, no one found it. It was the second lady who found it after looking for the second master." , now the old lady has passed out from crying."

Mrs. Lu regarded Lu Huaisi as her amulet. How could she lose this amulet? She felt sorry for him and worried whether she would go with her even if she didn't say anything.

After Chu Ran heard about it, he didn't pay much attention to it. The two governments no longer communicated, but the deceased was a big one, so he asked people to prepare one or two according to the etiquette.

After the maid retreated, she was still unsure, not knowing who made the sudden move. Once Lu Huaisi died, there would be no witnesses for the Wujiang warship incident.

When Lu Shi couldn't figure it out, Lu Shi came back from the government office. It was very dark in early summer, but it was still bright when she came back. After thinking for a while, she asked first, "Is it your Majesty's fault?"

"The matter has not been investigated clearly, Your Majesty has acted too hastily." Lu Shi sat down beside her.

Chu Ran guessed again: "Could it be that King Heng can't wait?"

"The crown prince guessed that it was Huo Qi. King Heng was ill and was in a state of fear. How could he dare to make such small moves? Huo Qi was the only one who could make a move. Once Lu Huaisi died, His Majesty would pay more attention to the warship. Now the relationship with Wu Jiang is not as good as before. As long as If the clues are found, it is inevitable to take back Wujiang."

"Huo Qi's move, isn't it that there is no silver 300 taels here?" After she analyzed it, Chu Ran felt a little more at ease, leaned against her lazily, smelled a strange fragrance, and said strangely: "Who did you see today?" Now, whose fragrance is it contaminated with?"

Lu Shi didn't use incense, and most of the time it was the smell from the incense burner. He didn't change his clothes when he came back today, but the aroma he smelled was not what he used to.

"I went to see Concubine Xian today. Anan is giving birth now. Concubine Xian is going to the East Palace to watch, so as to prevent anyone from acting as a ghost." Lu Shi was frank. Seeing Chu Ran's nose moving, he couldn't help but grab the tip of her nose: " Your Highness will also be suspicious?"

"Lingyi hasn't been married yet, so I naturally have to watch closely. I'm going to cry if I don't make sure that the raw rice is cooked properly." Chu Ran turned her head to the side, not thinking about the incense, and felt more worried about the East Palace. very concerned.

Seeing that she was about to be jealous, Lu Shi couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness is also worried?"

"Don't worry? Is the prime minister not lucky enough? Lingyi, Lu Huaisi, and some unknown people, but once Lu Huaisi dies, there will be another commotion with the old lady. You should be careful, and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes to drive a wedge between you and the old lady." People." Chu Ran is angry, and when he is reasonable, he must be reasonable, and blindness is not the time to be awkward.

Lu Shi nodded: "Alright, I won't go to Lu's residence to express my condolences, just let Axiu go, and you don't have to go." It's better to get rid of the relationship, His Majesty's doubts have not been eliminated, even if Lu Huaisi dies, Family members will still be implicated after the crime is found out.

"It's up to you, old lady, please go and comfort me yourself, and send some to her if she likes." Chu Ran agreed.

After the room fell silent, the maid entered and put the box on the case: "Your Highness, Princess Xinyang refuses to accept it, so I will let the maid bring it back to you."

Xinyang's temper is just to be coaxed with small gadgets, but now even diamonds can't be coaxed well, so it can be seen that she is quite frightened, and she is waiting for the culprit: "What did you do?"

"Concubine Ming just knows that Xinyang is going to the hot spring." Lu Shi smiled lightly.

Chu Ran never asked about the matter between Concubine Ming and Xinyang, but she was quarreled by Lu Shi several times. She looked at the stingy and stingy prime minister, and shook her head helplessly: "It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, how can you do it?" not."

She shook her head and sighed, like an old master in a school, facing a disobedient student, shaking his head and cursing: You can't teach a child.

Lu Shi was silent, waved his hand to let the maid back down, and then put her on the pillow, still clasping her waist with his hands, his voice was cold and threatening: "Your Highness, do you think you can go to the hot spring?"

"Naturally, naturally you can't go." Chu Ran swallowed her saliva, feeling uncommonly majestic under her pressure, no matter whether he is promising or not, first coax this person before saying, "I won't go either."

Lu Shi didn't believe her, and was about to do something when hurried footsteps came from outside the door, "His Royal Highness, there is a happy event from the East Palace."

"Ah Nan gave birth safely?"
