Traveling through ancient times to serve as emperor's servant

In the 23rd year of Mingde, the Xiao Mansion——

Today is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Xiao, the Xiao mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy, all civil and military officials of the court brought gifts to congratulate Xiao Wu's [-]th birthday, even the current emperor Kangdi also came to congratulate Xiao Wu, it can be seen that Xiao Wu's How prestigious is the reputation.

In fact, Xiao Wu's achievements today are also due to Xiao Wu's own talent and learning. Xiao Wu made military exploits before Emperor Ming, and fought against the small country of Lu at that time. Xiao Wu made a plan and won a beautiful victory. Sealed as Zuo Zan envoy of Cong Qipin.

After the death of Emperor Ming, Xiao Wu followed Emperor Zhao and became famous and made many great achievements. He was promoted by Emperor Zhao to Zuoxiang and became the confidant of Emperor Zhao.After the death of Emperor Zhao, Xiao Wu also served for several years. Later, because of the death of his own son, he became old and sick, so he resigned from the official position and returned to his hometown.

However, Emperor Kang was also a wise and reasonable emperor. Although his methods were somewhat cruel, and he showed no mercy to his enemies and those who betrayed him, he respected Xiao Wu, who followed Xuanming Kingdom's three dynasties veteran.After agreeing to Xiao Wu's resignation, and allowing him to stay in Fuxiang City, bestowing the Xiao Mansion, and making an exception to grant Xiao Wu's only grandson Xiao Churan the hereditary position, it can be said to be a supreme honor.

As the only heir of the Xiao family's family, Xiao Churan has attracted much attention. In addition, Xiao Churan is also known as the darling of the gods, which makes those high-ranking officials and nobles and even a few authoritative princes in the harem peep.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Kang issued an order in advance to allow Xiao Churan to inherit the title and enter the palace as an official, so that those high-ranking officials and nobles who pretended to be married to the Xiao family would be deterred from doing so.

But all this was too early for Xiao Churan who was only seven years old. Under the leadership of Xiao Wu, Xiao Churan paid homage to Emperor Kang, and followed the housekeeper back to the backyard.

"The front yard is too noisy, but the back yard is quieter."

"Brother Huang, if you break into the backyard privately, it may be inappropriate."

"Yixuan, when did you become so formal, it's rare to get out of the palace, don't worry about it so much."

Li Shi, the steward of the Xiao Mansion, was shocked. This is not the third and fifth princes. Why did they come to the inner courtyard? Li Shi hurriedly pulled Xiao Churan forward to greet him, "See your third and fifth princes."

Leng Yunyao didn't expect that there would be someone in the inner courtyard. He looked at the two kneeling on the ground, smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Xiao Churan got up, stared at the person who was a few heads taller than him, blinked in doubt, and asked curiously with a pretty face, "Are you the prince?"

Leng Yunyao didn't expect Xiao Churan to ask this question, he was startled and then grinned: "That's right, my Highness is Leng Yunyao, the third prince of the dynasty, what's your name?"

"Not at all." Xiao Churan's words made Leng Yunyao lose face, Li Shi trembled before begging for mercy, Xiao Churan looked at Leng Yixuan again, "Prince should be like him."

Leng Yixuan was startled by Lin'er's words in front of him, and then looked at his brother Leng Yunyao next to him, his face twitched with anger, Leng Yixuan withdrew his gaze, and said with a friendly expression: "My name is Leng Yixuan, you should be Xiao Master's grandson, Xiao Churan!"

"You know me!" Xiao Churan was shocked.

"Xiao Churan, so you are Xiao Churan..." Xiao Churan looked at the smiling Leng Yunyao, a little afraid and leaned against Leng Yixuan. Seeing this, Leng Yunyao raised his eyebrows and was dissatisfied. Leng Yixuan patted Xiao Churan's head , "Don't be afraid, Brother Huang won't do anything to you."

"Your brother is so strange, you smile like a cunning fox."

"you……"

"Brother Huang, don't be angry, let's talk nonsense." Leng Yixuan's words made Leng Yunyao suppress the anger in his stomach, and stared closely at the beautiful and innocent Xiao Churan, evoked a strange smile, and stepped forward to provoke Xiao Churan A strand of black hair, "Your name is Xiao Churan, right! Your Highness remembers you."

"Woo..." Xiao Churan's eyes were wet with fright from Leng Yunyao's smile, Leng Yixuan hurriedly patted Xiao Churan's head, "Don't cry, it's our fault."

"You're still crying..."

"Brother Huang, he is Lin'er."

The sentence that he is Lin'er made Leng Yunyao realize that the good-looking child in front of him was Lin'er and not a man, and Leng Yunyao was at a loss for a moment.

Under the gaze of everyone, Leng Yunyao sighed and stepped forward to hand over the jade pendant to Xiao Churan, "Don't cry, it's my fault, I shouldn't scare you, this jade pendant is my apology to you."

Xiao Churan blinked, looked at the white carp jade pendant in Leng Yunyao's hand, it was very exquisite, stepped forward to take it, Li Shi hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, young master is ignorant and doesn't understand etiquette. Atonement."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Leng Yunyao looked at Xiao Churan, who liked the jade pendant very much, and touched Xiao Churan's head with a gentle smile, "This jade pendant was given to me by my concubine, you should be happy." keep it."

"I don't want..." Xiao Churan returned the jade pendant to Leng Yunyao. Leng Yunyao thought that Xiao Churan was afraid that he would be punished by Xiao Wu, so he smiled and put the jade pendant in Xiao Churan's hand, "Take it! I gave it to you, yes It's our secret, so don't worry."

The fact that Xiao Churan didn't accept it was because Leng Yunyao said that the concubine gave it to him. Isn't that very precious?That's why he didn't want it, but Leng Yunyao gave it to him again. This time Xiao Churan planned to speak out, but before he could speak, there was a shout from outside.

"Third Highness, Fifth Highness, where are you?"

"It seems that the father is looking for us, brother."

Leng Yunyao nodded, patted Xiao Churan's head again, smiled and waved: "Xiao Churan, remember, my name is Leng Yunyao..."

Opening his eyes, he saw the familiar curtain. He stood up and sat up, his black hair slid over his fair skin and fell on his chest. A pair of white and slender fingers were placed on his forehead, covering his delicate face.

How can I dream this dream?Xiao Churan rubbed his forehead, then lifted the curtain, stood up and put on a blue gown.

"Master is awake?"

"Well, come in!"

Li Guang, the butler serving Xiao Churan, yelled at the maids to enter the house, and personally stepped forward to serve Xiao Churan to put on a white gauze, "Master, you don't have to go to court today, but you want to go out?"

"Well, I want to go to the hot spring villa with your servant."

"The master wants to send someone to follow."

Xiao Churan straightened her bristled black hair, turned her head and said, "No, your servant doesn't like crowds, I can go alone."

"Yes." Li Wei took off the jade pendant hanging on the hanger and handed it to Xiao Churan, "Master, jade pendant."

Xiao Churan looked at the carp jade pendant in Li Guang's hand, and couldn't bear to think of the dream from last night. After a moment of silence, she took it from Li Guang's curious eyes, but she didn't tie it on, but put it in her sleeve and left.

After breakfast, Xiao Churan walked out of Zuo Xiang's mansion, the carriage waiting outside made Xiao Churan frown, a guard saw Xiao Churan coming out, and hurried forward to greet him, "See Zuo Xiang."

"You are by King Yun's side."

"Yes, this subordinate escorted Mr. Zuo Xiang to the hot spring villa under the order of King Yun."

Leng Yunyao... Xiao Churan frowned, turned and left, the guard immediately stepped forward when he saw it and said: "My lord, please get in the carriage, His Royal Highness Yun Wang said that the servant is already waiting for your lord in front of the city gate, there is no need to go to Nanxuan gate. "

Xiao Churan looked at the guards sent by King Yun very displeasedly, and the guards bowed their hands politely and said, "Please also get on the car, sir."

Xiao Churan shook hands tightly, but in the end he couldn't get over the opponent, got up and walked to the carriage, got into the carriage and left. Li Guang, who was standing in front of the door, couldn't bear to shake his head when he saw this scene, "It seems that His Highness King Yun still has a long way to go." His family The master doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, he doesn't even wear the jade pendant anymore, but that is the master's favorite jade pendant!

Xiao Churan didn't know what Li Guang was thinking, but went to the city gate in a carriage. Fortunately, Leng Yunyao didn't lie to him, and He Yue was really waiting for him in front of the city gate.

Seeing Xiao Churan coming, He Yue stepped forward with a smile, "Chu Ran, I was still worried that you would come late, but who knows that the timing is just right, Brother Huang really has a clever plan."

Hearing this, you can understand that this matter is Leng Yunyao's decision again. He Yue's face was extremely ugly for a moment, and He Yue was surprised, "Chu Ran, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Ran regained consciousness, and smiled at He Yue, "I'm fine, Yue Jun, let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be difficult to arrive at the hot spring villa at noon."

"Yes, yes, it's important to hurry." After He Yue finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Churan towards the carriage, passing by Leng Yixuan and Leng Yunyao, Leng Yixuan said softly: "I want to discuss something with King Yun, later Just go, you and Chu Ran go first."

He Yue nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Churan, and found that Xiao Churan's complexion was very bad, even Leng Yunyao ignored him smiling.

He Yue looked at Leng Yixuan and asked what was wrong with his eyes. Leng Yixuan shook his head, and He Yue looked at Leng Yunyao again. His dim eyes and helpless expression showed that the two hadn't solved their knot yet.

The atmosphere was a bit quiet and subtle, Ziyu, who was observing the situation, hurriedly called out: "Master."

"Then let's take a step forward." He Yue grabbed Xiao Churan's hand and entered the carriage, Leng Yunyao and Leng Yixuan watched the carriage leave, and then Leng Yixuan asked: "Brother Huang offended Churan again?"

"It would be good if I offended, I'm afraid..." He didn't bring the jade pendant today, Leng Yunyao frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Leng Yixuan next to him was an insider, and patted Leng Yunyao on the shoulder, "Brother, don't worry, with Yue here, maybe Chu Ran will see the sun."

"I hope so..." Leng Yunyao sighed.

Xiao Churan has remained silent since he got into the carriage, with no expression on his face. He Yue has been observing from the side, and feels that Xiao Churan today is too weird, not to mention the indifference towards Leng Yunyao, even he is too abnormal. Could it be that Xiao Churan is still Are you angry about that?

Thinking that it was because of him that the two could not be together, He Yue felt guilty, and remembering her promise to say good things, He Yue couldn't help but blush and cover her head.Damn, how could I forget such an important thing.

"Jun Yue is not feeling well."

He Yue raised her head and smiled at Chu Ran, "It's okay, don't talk about me, but you and I find it very strange, does Chu Ran have something on his mind?"

Xiao Churan was surprised, then shook her head, "What can I worry about?"

"No, Chu Ran, we have known each other for a year anyway, I can still see this, you...are you about King Yun?"

Speaking of Leng Yunyao, Xiao Churan remained silent, and his complexion was not very good. A thought flashed in He Yue's mind, "Ahem, Chu Ran, that's about going south to my palace...I..."

"Yue Jun, that matter has passed, so there is no need to talk about it?"

The cold tone doesn't seem like there is no need to talk anymore!It seems that Xiao Churan is still jealous of the fact that Leng Yunyao let him leave the palace behind his back, sighed and said: "Churan, I am not here to be a lobbyist, you should know that I am not that kind of person, in fact, this matter even if the emperor Brother doesn't let me, I will also find a way to leave the palace, you know the situation at that time, Yixuan's life and death are unknown, Qingluan Kingdom is also eyeing, the emperor's brother let me leave the palace at that time is also to lure Yixuan, so that I can return to the palace as soon as possible."

Xiao Churan remained silent, and He Yue took this opportunity to continue: "Chu Ran, you have also seen that the Qingluan Kingdom is powerful. If I hadn't had a flash of inspiration and found the Flintstone in the Zimo Kingdom, I'm afraid..."

"Yuejun, I blame him not because you left the palace, but because he let you go behind my back. I didn't know that you were my mood when I heard you fall off the cliff..."

Uh... this matter is probably painful to everyone, even now no one dares to talk about it in front of Leng Yixuan, unless it is desperate, but... He Yue smiled and held Xiao Churan's hand, "hehe , I knew Chu Ran that you were the most loyal, but as the saying goes, you should be killed, and you can't escape. Although this matter made me very unhappy, it also allowed me to find you. It’s an important thing to win the war, so it’s not a disadvantage.”

Xiao Churan glared at He Yue, "It's not a disadvantage, if you don't look at you at that time..."

"Ahem, Chu Ran, we are talking about King Yun and you." He Yue handed Xiao Churan an apple, "Actually, this matter is not only about you, I am afraid that the emperor himself is also blaming himself. Unknown, Brother Huang has never laughed."

Xiao Churan knew this, and no one would dare to laugh at that time, so... "So don't worry about that, Chu Ran, we can't keep chasing the past, we have to look forward to be happy."

Does he care too much about the past?Xiao Churan stared at the apple in his hand, feeling a little confused for a while.

"Chu Ran, do you like Brother Huang?"

Xiao Churan raised her head and looked at He Yue who was asking seriously, not knowing how to answer, He Yue smiled lightly, "I have experienced your confusion before, Chu Ran, when you are confused, you only need to ask your heart, ask yourself Can you let go of everything and leave?"

In fact, there is no need to answer. Xiao Churan can't do it. After that incident, he can't escape from this person again.

"Chu Ran, can you tell me when you fell in love with Brother Huang?"

"I haven't said..."

"Your expression just now has been exposed." He Yue patted Chu Ran's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, there is no one around, just talk."

Xiao Churan sighed helplessly, and finally talked about his past with Leng Yunyao.

In fact, this matter has to start from the year when Xiao Wu was seriously ill.

Mingde 30 years

The 14-year-old Xiao Churan was basically in charge of Xiao's mansion, and Xiao Wu, who was 67 years old, still couldn't bear the torment of illness and fell ill on the bed.

Xiao Churan was very worried that his grandfather would go back with his father, mother, and grandmother, so he took care of him before the sick bed every day, and even used it to learn medical skills to cure Xiao Wu's illness by himself.

While Xiao Wu was relieved, he was also worried that his grandson would collapse if he left, so he asked Leng Yunyao, the most reliable and Xiao Wu's favorite, to look after him.

On the first three days of Xiao Wu's death, Xiao Churan went to the temple to ask for a peace talisman, but unexpectedly met a gangster who became interested in Xiao Churan. During the confrontation, Xiao Churan took the opportunity to escape, but this time he ran to the only mountain in Fuxiang City Go, and thus get lost.

Xiao Churan still clearly remembered that at that time he was alone in the gloomy woods, holding the peace talisman he begged for his grandfather, but he couldn't find his way home. When he came back, he was worried that no one would find him, and made his grandfather worry that he would be seriously ill again.

At the most helpless and hesitant moment, Leng Yunyao led people to the mountain and found Xiao Churan. Xiao Churan still remembers Leng Yunyao's face at that time, the sweat on his head, and the frowning relaxed. The strength of hugging him tightly is different from that of Leng Yunyao who has been laughing and playing in front of him.

"Are you injured?" Leng Yunyao looked at Xiao Churan once, and he was relieved after confirming that there were no injuries.

Xiao Churan didn't come back to his senses, and continued to stare at Leng Yunyao, until Leng Yunyao cast his gaze, Xiao Churan said, "Why are you here?"

"Idiot, your grandfather entrusted me to take good care of you, how can I leave you alone, don't worry, I have already arrested all those who plotted against you." Leng Yunyao touched Xiao Churan's head, "Don't worry, everything is safe. I am here, and I will protect you."

That's right, these words became the most unforgettable words in Xiao Churan's memory. Even if his grandfather passed away three days later, Leng Yunyao would comfort him beside him who was heartbroken, and say words that would protect him. , crying in Leng Yunyao's arms, he felt at ease with Leng Yunyao by his side for the first time.

From that day on, he changed his view of Leng Yunyao, and he didn't understand his feelings for Leng Yunyao until Leng Yixuan ascended the throne and had a drunken kiss in celebration.

"So, Chu Ran and Brother Huang are still childhood sweethearts!" In the hot spring villa, He Yue and Xiao Churan said while soaking in the hot spring.

Xiao Churan blushed and looked away, "No..."

He Yue snickered, raised the corner of her mouth and approached Xiao Churan, "By the way, Chu Ran, did brother Huang come with you..."

"Yuejun—"

"Hahaha, I see you are nervous."

After He Yue laughed, she looked surprised, "However, I'm curious, he didn't treat you..." On the contrary, Leng Yixuan did something to him while concealing his identity.

Xiao Churan didn't know what He Yue was thinking, so she could only sigh lightly, it wasn't that she didn't have it, but... her own rejection, his tolerance.

"Chu Ran, keep soaking, I'm a little dizzy and go out first."

"Do you want Jun Yue to call the imperial doctor?"

He Yue waved, "No, I'll just take a rest."

After He Yue went out, Xiao Churan didn't want to soak anymore, and got up and walked to the shore, but before he took the clothes and put them on, a familiar figure came in and startled Xiao Churan.

Xiao Churan didn't expect that Leng Yunyao would come in at all, and Leng Yunyao also didn't expect that Xiao Churan would be in the hot spring, he was played by his brother.

"How did you get in?"

Xiao Churan hurriedly covered her body with her clothes, then backed away, completely forgetting that she was on the bank of the hot spring, slipped on her feet, and fell down towards the hot spring pool.

"Chu Ran—"

"Oh!"

The splashing water aroused He Yue's curiosity outside, but Leng Yixuan stopped him when he got up to go in, "Leave the inside to Brother Huang."

"Ah, will this be bad, Chu Ran is now..." Fuck, I haven't finished talking... Chu Ran, I'm afraid I can't help you.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"It's okay, Chu Ran." Leng Yunyao patted Xiao Churan's back, Xiao Churan waved Leng Yunyao's hand away, "I'm fine, thank you His Highness King Yun for your concern."

"Churan..." Leng Yunyao felt dejected, and stretched out the back of his hand to touch Xiao Churan's face, "You really won't forgive me?"

Xiao Churan remained silent, Leng Yunyao took away his hand, his cheeks that had lost warmth were a little cold, making Xiao Churan turn his head to look at Leng Yunyao, and found that Leng Yunyao covered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, Xiao Churan was a little panicked, "You, you ..."

"Chu Ran, what happened to He Yue was my fault. I swear that I won't hide anything from you in the future. I just ask you not to ignore my existence."

Leng Yunyao grabbed Xiao Churan's arm, lowered his head and leaned on Xiao Churan's shoulder, "Chu Ran, six years ago, I said that I would take care of you for the rest of my life, and this life, apart from the promise to Mrs. Xiao, is also a promise to you. I, Leng Yunyao, don't want the throne, I don't want everything, I just want you, Xiao Churan, don't I want Churan to give me the only request?"

That's right, six years ago, Leng Yunyao told him, but at that time he rejected Leng Yunyao under the guise of a disparity in status. In fact, he himself was also very disappointed, and it was because of that time that he discovered that he liked Leng Yunyao.

Leng Yunyao raised his head, showing helplessness and sadness, "You know, Yixuan has been asking me to force you, but I can't do it. I, Leng Yunyao, can treat anyone but you, I believe you will voluntarily , voluntarily belongs to me.”

Xiao Churan was shocked, it turned out that Leng Yunyao himself restrained every time he lost control under the kiss, Xiao Churan lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"Chu Ran, I had a dream last night. I dreamed of the scene when we met for the first time. I mistook you for a man. Hehe, now that I think about it, I find it ridiculous. Obviously you are such a distressed Lin'er."

Xiao Churan was shocked, he never expected that Leng Yunyao would have the same dream as him, "You..."

"Chu Ran, do you still remember what I said to you? Remember, my name is Leng Yunyao. I am the Leng Yunyao who likes you and loves you and is willing to protect you all his life. It is not the current King Yun, not the royal family and nobles, but just Leng Yunyao."

For a moment, Xiao Churan seemed to see Leng Yunyao from more than ten years ago. At that time, the last words he left to himself were "Xiao Churan, remember, my name is Leng Yunyao..." Now it seems that Leng Yunyao has not changed , it became him...he was the one who misread everything.

"Chu Ran, what are you thinking?"

"I was wondering why you had the same dream as me."

"The same dream..." Leng Yunyao was shocked, and then the corner of his mouth raised, and he pressed Leng Yunyao sideways to the shore, "Does this mean that our hearts are connected?"

"No." Xiao Churan turned his head with a blushing face, Leng Yunyao smiled and lowered his head close to Xiao Churan's ear, and said softly: "Churan...I want you."

"You..." Xiao Churan glared at the person in front of him. As expected, this person hadn't changed, he was still the 'flirty' person.

He stretched out his hand and pushed it away but was caught first. Hearing the more ambiguous words of the other party, "You can also want me."

"Leng Yunyao—"

"Chu Ran, I want you to be my Leng Yunyao's person."

This time, before Xiao Churan could open his mouth, Leng Yunyao had already gagged his lips, the lingering kiss, the hot hand, and the rising temperature. Stopped in the next sentence.

"Chu Ran, I love you, don't be afraid..."

Don't be afraid, is he afraid?Indeed, he has been afraid, afraid that Leng Yunyao will leave him and marry someone else, afraid that he is not worthy of Leng Yunyao, afraid of Leng Yunyao's feelings... In fact, all of this is because of him... mediocrity...

On the way back the next day, Xiao Churan did not take a carriage with He Yue, but took a carriage with Leng Yunyao, and He Yue was stunned for a long time.

But in the end He Yue still showed a satisfied smile, smiled at Leng Yixuan, and drove to Fuxiang City together in a carriage...

【End of Xiao Churan】
