The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Xinping is located in a desolate place, known as the wilderness. Chu Ran was awarded the fiefdom at the time when Chu Ying was named the crown prince, and the first queen and queen did not say anything about it. It is a great kindness to win a crown prince, so Chu Ran didn't care about the fiefdom.

One thing is exchanged for another thing, the first queen does not mention a word, and after the prince goes, there will be no room for the two after all.

After Chu Ran came to Xinping, she didn't see the officials, didn't check the people's situation, but ordered everything to remain as usual, as if she had never been here.

She lived an increasingly low-key life. In the past, except for her staff, she hardly saw outsiders and hid in Xinping Hall.

Even if the news from Yingdu City came quickly, it would be more than a month late.When he left, he stayed in Beijing and sent back the news he found out. He didn't want to cause any more storms, but only hoped to protect himself.

Emperor Chu had no family affection for the former queens, and almost never asked about it, and even if there was resentment or hatred in his heart, it would not be worth it after all.

The last line of the Baolian family, the person in the capital city of Baoying is already the biggest hope.

When spring comes, the greenery outside the hall is the best time for an outing. She sits on the couch like a table and sets up a chess game, playing chess with herself, which can still pass half a day.

Chu Ran's chess skills are very bad, but she still doesn't know how bad Fang Zhi herself is.

Without Lu Xiang's cheating, he would be trapped and unable to move for a long time.

She played chess alone, when the staff came over and stretched out her hand to make a move, she stretched out her hand unwillingly and sneered, "Come on, I won a lot of money yesterday, I can play alone, you just stay and go."

A few days ago, the staff won a lot of money from His Highness, and every time they saw her meditating alone, they couldn't help leaning over and said with a smile, "I'm not Prime Minister Lu, so I can't let you."

"You don't need to give way. When you see her, you must say a few words to her." Chu Ran raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips were deeply curved, as if Lu Xiang was sitting opposite her.

The aides didn't dare to laugh any more. According to the situation, His Highness and Lu Xiang would never meet again. Maybe when His Highness returned to Beijing, Lu Xiang already had someone else.

Don't tell the truth if you see it through, and don't touch His Highness's pain.

Time is the best forgetting.The city of Yingdu is as prosperous as a fairyland, Lu Xiang is extraordinarily beautiful, and he is an important minister with a lot of power. Countless women crowded around her, so there is no room for His Highness to turn around.

Chu Ran was immersed in the game of chess, not knowing what he was thinking, there was still a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, and her smile was the same as before. She took a few moves and remembered something: "How is the third prince?"

"The third prince is stubborn, he has acted recklessly all these years, it is really difficult to be an enemy of King Heng."

"How about the fourth prince?" Chu Ran was the next best thing. She knew the qualifications of the two younger brothers in her heart. The third prince was old but already playful. It was difficult to become a wise king.

The staff showed regret: "It's hard to become a big weapon."

"The fourth prince is still young, and once raised, he will become a great weapon. I am very anxious. It's just that Lu Xiang has an obsession in his heart. He only sees that the third prince is old, and ignores that the fourth prince is young. When she hits the south wall, he will turn back. , don't worry about it." Chu Ran squeezed a white ball in his hand, and the gloom between his brows and eyes dissipated a bit.

How could she not know what the obsession in Lu Xiang's heart was.

The aide nodded and said: "Lu Xiang now knows the difficulties. The concubine is not favored, and she has no support from her mother's family. She is also a thorn in King Heng's eyes. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Send a letter to Liancheng and tell him what I mean. The Lianjia should protect itself before doing big things. Everything should be based on the Lianjia." Chu Ran made a bold move. The current situation cannot allow her to shrink back. Lu Yi may be carefree.

Whether Lu Xiang has military power in his hands, she can't know, but Lian's family is a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse, after all, they have much more soldiers than her.

She looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, her eyes were full of obscurity, the land of Xinping was barren, and it was impossible to achieve great things, now only Liancheng himself has grown up.

As soon as Aying left, it brought her a darkness, and she couldn't see the light. Even if Lu Shi's lamp was there, it couldn't illuminate the surroundings.

Why didn't she want to be with Lu Shi forever? The bustling Ying capital city is what people want, not because it is the capital of Chu country, but because there are people there.

The staff understood what she meant, and said again: "It is inevitable that Chu and Song will fight."

"Chu Li is very ambitious. The state of Song is bound to take a few bites of such a piece of meat. The emperor of the state of Song is at odds with each other, and civil strife has continued. It is a good time for the state of Chu to catch him by surprise. Tell Liancheng that King Heng is attacking Song. , is his good opportunity."

She closed her eyes and thought, Chu Li has no intention of being in the northwest, which is an opportunity to connect cities. It is not necessary to expand the territory, but it is necessary to recharge your energy.

The staff was ordered to retreat in a hurry.

Less than a month after the news reached the northwest, the First Battle of the Song Dynasty officially began.

The Chu army was so powerful that it surprised people, and they invaded the Song capital within a year.At that time, it was another year of good spring.

Chu Ran still set up a couch in the courtyard, listening to his staff report the results of the first battle against the Song Dynasty. The staff said regretfully: "At the last moment, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was at odds with each other, and the queen actually said that the little emperor was a woman. Aroused public outrage, the city gate was broken without attacking."

"It is indeed a pity that there is no precedent for a female emperor in Song Dynasty. If there had been a precedent, it would not have been defeated so quickly. It is a pity that Song Dikong has a heart and no ambition, but is tired by a woman." Chu Ran's lips curled up desolately With a smile, he suddenly remembered that what he did today was no different from that of Emperor Song.

The staff didn't understand what she meant, so they took it as a satire on Emperor Song, and said casually: "It's true, if Emperor Song can be more ruthless, and don't let the empress gain power, he won't make such a mess, and the country will be destroyed. "

Chu Ran smiled when he heard it, "You don't have a wife, and you don't know his affection. When you have a loved one in the future, you will understand that Emperor Song is also driven by love."

"Your Highness is joking. Love is important, but it can't compare to Jiangshan Sheji. You see, our Majesty is ambitious and decisive, and he is many times better than Song Emperor's child." The words of the staff were full of admiration for Chu Emperor. meaning.

Chu Ran shook her head unconsciously, and stopped talking about these trivial matters with her staff. She stared at the calm chess board and said decisively: "Ling Liancheng is ready, just protect yourself."

He couldn't protect her, he couldn't protect Lu Xiang, he could only protect himself, that's all.

The staff retreated to deliver the letter, and not long after, a letter was sent from the city of Ying, which was not signed, and only said that the third prince was stubborn and hard to become a master.

Chu Ran smiled idiotically, Lu Shi's move was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Whoever wrote the letter, you don't need to think about it, the intention is to name Lu Shi who is in danger, she smiled faintly, walked back to the study, took up a pen and wrote a memorial, saying that she was ill and congratulated His Majesty on the victory of the battle.

With just a few words, Wanwang Lu Shi could understand that the defeat was already settled, so don't struggle hard.

The letter of the fief, the prime minister must be able to see it.

After the messenger left, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief. After more than ten years of hard work, once A Ying left, no matter how hard she struggled, it would be useless. If the third prince was useful, Lu Shi would certainly be able to do some planning. It is also Zhuge No. [-].

Why don't you stop from it, make a clear appearance, have many years of glory, with her ability to deal with Chu Li, it must be much easier.

A few days later, Yingdu wrote again, asking Hengwang Chuli to crown him the crown prince.

She stared at the ink-colored handwriting on the paper for a long time, and after sitting withered for a long time, she sighed: "Heng Wang's temporary victory may not last for a long time."

Whether the letter was sent to Yingdu or whether it was seen by Prime Minister Lu was no longer important.

The scenery in spring is romantic, and she suddenly has the desire to go out in the green. When she ordered people to prepare, a secret decree suddenly came from Yingdu City.

Chu Li won the big position, the Northwest is his heart's trouble, and so is she.

The secret decree was just to kill her.

The secret decree was burned, and she went for an outing by car as if she hadn't seen it.The only place where Xinping can go green is the green hills outside the city.

Under the green hills, a lot of people gathered, the princess went out quietly, and the group traveled in a low-key way. When they left the city gate, they went through a routine inspection, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the city.

At the same time, a car stopped, the curtains shook, revealing its cool look, and it was released after inspection.

When the two carriages rubbed shoulders, Chu Ran lifted the curtain and took a look outside. Seeing a lot of vehicles parked at the gate of the city, he felt strange: "Why are there so many vehicles today?"

The staff also followed her gaze, and their eyes also fell on the gray cloth carriage, and said casually: "I have someone check it out."

"It's better to be cautious." Chu Ran ordered lightly, retracted her slender arms, and the car curtain fell, and the interior of the car was dark again.

Going out is just to watch the mountain scenery, prepare a pot of sake, and the breath between breaths is more refreshing.

After a short trip, the group returned home as usual.

Chu Ran stayed up all night, and never asked about Xinping, nor gave any instructions. Only Liancheng in the northwest, she left a letter, which will roughly explain it.

Protect others first.

At dawn, Dongfang Lubai, she drank a glass of wine, sat under the south window and stared at the sunrise, and when the sun appeared behind her eyes, she sighed in relief, lay back on the couch and closed her eyes.

***

Since Chu Ran returned to the fiefdom, she seldom went out, and officials were strictly prohibited from visiting her.The palace was as cold as no one, and when the sun was rising today, a visitor came.

After the staff went to see him in a panic, they were indescribably shocked, and hurriedly bowed down to pay respects. Lu Shi said flatly, "I'm passing by here, and I will leave as soon as I see your Highness."

"Your Highness went outing yesterday, so he must have been tired. Lu Xiang, don't be impatient, let me invite you." The aide's words could not conceal his joy.

Seeing him like this, Lu Shi seemed to be so overjoyed seeing Chu Ran seeing her. She refused, "Let a maid lead the way, and I will go personally."

The staff nodded, the backyard is only for men to go, it is not easy for him to go there.

The maid led the way to the door and stopped, but was stopped by Lu Shi when she knocked on the door, "Go down."

After hesitating for a moment, the maidservant recalled the order just now, leaned over and stepped aside, and let herself push the door open.

The room was silent, Lu Shi thought of the staff saying that she went outing yesterday, maybe she was tired and got up late, standing at the threshold, she was excited and timid.

What was said in the memorandum was not true, she only thought that Chu Ran did it on purpose.Knowing it was fake, but she still couldn't help it, and came over to take a look by patrolling.

The situation in the city of Yingdu was already leaning towards Chuli, the third prince was talented and intelligent, but the queen deliberately reared him, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't stand the random upbringing of the day after tomorrow.

It's not easy to raise a son Jackie Chan, but it's extremely easy to ruin others.

She pushed the door and stopped, thinking of His Highness's estrangement before leaving Beijing, she couldn't help being angry and timid.What Chu Ran did was to protect herself, and it was the best choice for her.

However, she was not reconciled in her heart, so she gave it a go, even if she knew it was wrong, she still had to give it a try.After entering the court hall, Ben was standing on the cliff, and she didn't mind taking another step.

After struggling, she stepped into the house.
