Rebirth is back for you

Chapter 25 Moon Night Palace Banquet

It was night, and the palace lanterns in the Qingyue Imperial Palace were brightly lit, reflecting on the five-color glazed tiles painted with dragons and phoenixes, beautiful and bright.

The carriage of the Deqin Prince's Mansion had just stopped at the gate of the palace, and there was a questioning voice in front of it: "Is the old prince Deqin inside?"

Although he has stepped down from the throne for many years, the Deqin Palace has a noble status and great power. Jing Ran's father died young, and the old Deqin prince has been in power until now. Many important officials in the court admire and make friends with him.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and four or five powerful officials, including the Minister of Rites and General Zhong Lang, were waiting in front of them. When they saw the old prince Deqin appearing, they bowed and saluted, "Is the old prince feeling better?"

The old prince Deqin replied, without even giving Jing Ran a word of instructions, he got off the carriage and left with the Minister of Rites and the others.

This old man, Jing Ran rolled his eyes towards the roof of the carriage, and when he put the book in his hand, he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Because it is a state banquet for the envoys of various countries, all ministers of the third rank and above in the court are ordered to bring their families to attend.Jing Ran returned to Beijing for a few days, and all kinds of deeds surrounding her and the eldest grandson Qimu have already spread. Many young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families were already very curious, and many people wanted to make friends, so at this moment Seeing the carriage of Prince Deqin's mansion, they all gathered at the gate of the palace and talked in a low voice.

Two handsome young men hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Jingran together.

Jing Ran frowned slightly. She knew about the circle of the young and powerful in the capital, but she had never interacted with anyone except Pei Jinsong since she was a child. The current anecdote of the current dynasty brought by me only has a little understanding of most people, and it is far from the point where I want to make friends.

Suddenly there was a clear voice of inquiry from behind: "Is the one in front Brother Jing?"

The two people in front stopped, Jing Ran raised his eyebrows and turned around, a carriage with the sign of "Shufu" was driving towards the palace gate, the curtains on the carriage were drawn up, revealing a smiling face .

At that time, there was only Zhonglang General Yifu with the surname "Shu". Today, Princess Zhaorong, the younger sister of Emperor Yue and his mother, married to Shufu, and she has a daughter who is clever and lively, and is loved by the queen mother and the emperor. , specially conferred the title of "Shuluan" princess, probably the one in front of me.

Sure enough, before the carriage stopped, Shuluan jumped out of the carriage and trotted towards Jingran, and the mother who followed hurriedly chased after her and shouted: "Oh princess, please run slowly, what if you fall? good!"

Jing Ran raised her eyebrows. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was not as tall as her shoulders. She was wearing a fiery red fur cloak. The rabbit fur scarf on her neck was blown up by the wind when Wei Wei ran. It is exquisite, but it is better than the pink in the white complexion, which adds a bit of softness and cuteness.

However, when she left Beijing, this little girl was still learning to walk, so I don't know how she was able to recognize her rather enthusiastic appearance.

Before Jing Ran could speak, she was grabbed by Shu Luan, and then she raised her head and smiled at her: "It really is Brother Jing! I saw your portrait in the study of Ninth Sister when I was young. I never thought that so many years have passed. You are even more elegant and magnificent than I imagined, you are really like the fairy-like beauty in the story book, the imperial grandmother and the ninth sister really did not lie to me."

The Ninth Sister in her mouth must be the eldest grandson Qimu, and the imperial grandmother is the deceased empress dowager who loved her and the eldest grandson Qimu very much. What Mu said in front of her and the old emperor.

"Mother Zhao, Brother Jing and I will talk together for a while, and you will follow behind." Before Jing Ran could speak, Shu Luan turned her head and gave orders behind her, and pulled Jing Ran towards Qin'an Hall .

... This is great, even the guides are no longer needed.But maybe this elf had a reputation of being arrogant and playful since she was a child, those young masters and young ladies all fell silent when they saw the two together, which saved her the trouble of dealing with it.

Shu Luan pulled Jing Ran's sleeve, patted her forehead in frustration, tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, "I forgot to say, Brother Jing, do you know me?"

Jing Ran glanced at the tightly clenched sleeve corner, then looked at Shu Luan's smiling face, thinking she was still a child, that's all, and replied with a smile: "Of course I know it, I don't like piano and chess. Calligraphy and painting, but the little princess who prefers horses and crickets, there is only one in Qingyue."

Shu Luan said "ah", and said: "Brother Jing, you are also imitating Ninth Sister Nouyu, what's the point of those gentlemen? Me alone."

Can that wooden man move people?

Jing Ran glanced at Shu Luan subtly, the corners of her lips curled into a hook, and the girl kept calling "Ninth Sister" in every sentence, probably because she was quite close to the eldest grandson Qimu, but she didn't expect that the cold, hard-bodied person would still Quite childish.

"By the way, Brother Jing, Xingluan Terrace said today that there will be a heavy snowstorm at night, why are you wearing such thin clothes, are you in better health?" Shuluan wrinkled her small nose.

"...No idea, but I'm more afraid of the cold and heat than you are." Jing Ran thought that the fact that she was delicate and frail seemed to be known to everyone, but it just happened to save her a lot of trouble .

"Then why don't you put on the big cloak that Ninth Sister gave you?" Shu Luan sighed, stomped her feet and said, "Brother Jing, you don't even know that Ninth Sister gave you that big cloak for a month. He went out early and returned late every day, braved the heavy snow and went into the mountains to hunt the white jade mink that he could not get a single one in the past few years in the winter hunting. My hands were shaking all the time, and I was afraid that it would be accidentally broken."

Jing Ran's heart moved, and Shu Luan stuck out her tongue again: "At that time, I saw that I liked it very much by chance, and asked Ninth Sister for a long time, but she never gave it to me. Later, I found out that it was for you, Brother Jing. of."

As if something warm and soft flowed through the apex of her heart, Jing Ran gave a soft "hmm", raised her eyebrows and asked Shuluan, "Why didn't I hear you say that other brothers and sisters like your ninth sister so much?"

Shuluan shook her head, "Ninth Sister is so good, she is different from others." After a pause, she added in a low voice, "There is also Sixth Cousin, who is also different."

"..." Jing Ran turned her head and glanced at Shu Luan. This girl has been well protected by the people around her since she was a child, and she sees things in the most innocent and superficial way.It’s just that they have the same identity, one is called sister, but the other is called cousin

The two turned left and right, turned around a pavilion and entered the imperial garden. In the center of the imperial garden is a very delicate green lake that looks like the shape of Sun Moon Lake. It is rare that it has not frozen in the severe winter, and the lake is as clear as a mirror. With the cold light of moon white.

The two walked on the black and white cobblestone path, and were quiet for a while, then Shu Luan suddenly raised her head and said, "Brother Jing, do you know that Ninth Sister has liked you for many years?"

Jing Ran was silent for a long time, then responded softly, "You know."

"Then you..." Shu Luan seemed to want to ask something, frowned and gave up, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's good if you know, in fact, Ninth Sister has a psychic talent since she was a child, she is very wise and strange, and has many At the time, she didn't hold her head high and high, but the people around her couldn't think of and couldn't get along with her, and she was too lazy to talk too much. Over time, she formed a feeling of arrogance and loneliness to outsiders. In fact, she was really very OK."

Jing Ran's eyebrows were bent: "Your ninth sister is so good in your heart, so there is nothing wrong with it?"

Shuluan blinked, then suddenly pointed at Bihu with a smile, and said, "Brother Jing, look, if you have to pick something wrong with Sister Nine, it can only be because of her drinking capacity. When she was a child, she once drank too much and fell into the In this green lake, thankfully it was discovered early, but when it was fished up in the winter, it was still drunk for seven days and lay in bed for three months with the wind and cold, but it made Aunt Huang worry so much."

It is well known that that person likes to drink, so how can his drinking capacity be so bad, Jing Ran also followed her and asked, "How much did you drink before you fell into the lake?"

"Two altars." Shuluan raised two fingers.

"..." The words of two jars are quite a lot for ordinary people, but the capacity for alcohol is not good enough.

Unexpectedly, Shuluan blinked mysteriously again, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jing, I'll tell you a secret, but even Uncle Huang doesn't know it. In fact, it's true that Ninth Sister likes to drink sake, but she is very easy to get drunk If you have a strong physique, you can drink at most two cups at a time, but if you dare to touch the third cup, you will pour it down immediately."

"..." Jing Ran was surprised, and looked at Shu Luan: "Two cups?"

Shu Luan glanced at Jing Ran strangely, "Brother Jing, don't you understand? Two glasses is no problem, just a little more than two glasses, probably less than three glasses!"

Jing Ran had a strange expression on his face, but he couldn't help but have many messy thoughts in his heart.

Shuluan thought she didn't believe it, so she curled her lips and said, "If you don't believe it, you will know after a while at the palace banquet."

"I really believe it, I'm just thinking about what she looks like when she's drunk." Jing Ran looked at Shuluan and said seriously.

"That's it." Shuluan rubbed her chin, as if recalling: "It's been many years since she got drunk and fell into the lake. I've never seen this before. How about we try to get her drunk someday?"

Jing Ran: "..."

However, Shu Luan quickly shook her head and denied herself: "Actually, Ninth Sister is very busy all day, and getting drunk can cause trouble, which is also a very important weakness of hers, so only Aunt Huang and Grandmother knew about it, but she was once I found out about it by accident, and now I'm telling you, Brother Jing."

In this way, Jing Ran raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me, is it okay?"

Shuluan giggled and said: "Ninth Sister likes you so much, you will definitely be together in the future, so it's okay to tell you. And although Ninth Sister's request for a marriage was not accepted by the Emperor Uncle, but Yuemo is Ninth Sister She is still young, and Uncle Huang loves her the most and wants to keep her for two more years. In fact, looking around, in Qingyue and even the whole world, no one can be worthy of sister Jiu except you, Brother Jing. Similarly, Although Princess Jin and Prince Xi are also very good, but Ninth Sister treats you the best and is the most suitable for you."

"..." What kind of logic is this? Jing Ran looked at Shuluan and said nothing.

The two of them passed through the Yanyang Gate, and they could already see the Qin'an Hall brightly lit from a distance. in Apple pie order.

Shu Luan grabbed Jing Ran's sleeve and suddenly walked faster, pointing to a stone statue in front of the hall, and was about to say something, when a cool voice suddenly sounded: "Shu Luan."

Shuluan paused for a moment, let go of Jingran's sleeves and ran towards Changsun Qimu, hugged her arm, raised her head and smiled and said, "Ninth Sister, why are you standing outside in such cold?"

The eldest grandson Qimu pursed his thin lips and glanced at Jingran first, then turned his head and looked at Shuluan with a half-smile: "Auntie asked me to come out to see why your monkey hasn't arrived yet, and whether you have caused trouble again."

Jing Ran looked back at the eldest grandson Qimu, perhaps because she was going to attend the palace banquet. Although her usual long hair was not combed in a bun, it was tied up properly with a silver headband, and the soft and thin cloak she wore was also made of gold. The silk thread is embroidered with the unique noble totem representing Qingyue.The black eyes are clear, the corners of the eyebrows are lightly raised, and when she lowers her head to talk to Shu Luan, her slender and red lips curl up in a beautiful arc, and the already white and porcelain cheeks cast a warm orange light under the projection of the palace lantern, and the whole person suddenly grows up. A little soft.

Jing Ran's eyes flickered and fell on Shu Luan. The little princess, who is famous as the little devil king, pursed her mouth and said in disbelief, "Mother knows how to control me in one day. How can I be so dandy?" Turning to look at Jing Ran, he doubted: "And it was really mother who asked you to come out to see me? It's not you who want to see Brother Jing sooner?"

"..." Changsun Qimu closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly stretched out his finger and flicked Shuluan's forehead: "You're still poor, come in."

Her behavior seemed to be a little more vivid than the cold and thin appearance in the past, and Jing Ran's clear eyes suddenly flickered.

Shuluan let go of her hand with a smile, turned around and waved her arms at Jingran, and then ran into the hall bouncing.

Changsun Qimu pursed his lips, walked slowly to Jing Ran's side, and saw that she was thinking about something, and there was a thin mist in her eyes, which quickly disappeared without a trace.

Jing Ran saw the eldest grandson Qimu's arms in her arms move slightly, and thought she was about to take off her cloak, but just as she was about to speak, a special-looking Mrs. Tang was handed over to her, and she was wrapped in a soft white fur bag properly on the surface.

Jing Ran lowered her eyes: "..."

"Hold on, anyway, the news of your weak body has spread, and it is indeed cold and frosty tonight, so be careful not to freeze." Changsun Qimu smiled lightly, then leaned closer to her and whispered: "This is It is sewn with a special badger pouch, it can last at least one night, and if you hold it in your arms, your stomach will be more comfortable.”

Jing Ran suddenly looked at Changsun Qimu with a complicated face, she still underestimated this person's ability, even - can she even touch her sunflower water life?

The eldest grandson Qimu quietly stretched out his hand and waited for her, his eyes were soft, but the sincerity and warmth in his eyes could not be faked.

Jing Ran suddenly felt a little hot on her cheeks, and quickly reached out to take Mrs. Tang into her arms, and immediately raised her feet and strode towards Qin'an Hall.

Changsun Qimu blinked, stared blankly at her slender but straight back, then slightly raised the corners of his eyebrows.
