I was a prince in ancient times

"……what?"

Lu Chuyi was directly shocked by Lu Chengjiao's words, and had no idea what his young master was doing.

Lu Chengjiao's eyes paused for a moment on the courtiers who were scattered outside the palace.

His eyes were a little dark, and a pile of papers spread out from his hand.

These were all received when he left the banquet just now.

The note is full of the names and rankings of the marriageable girls in those adults' families.

He is infertile, and there is no side concubine in the Prince Chen's Mansion, so many people are staring at this position.

As long as they can give birth to an heir for His Highness and inherit the Chen Palace, even if they are side concubines, there are many people who are willing to follow suit.

In addition, the two princesses at the banquet watched Xie Anlan consciously or unconsciously all night.

Lu Chengjiao's temples were aching, and even the apex of his heart was throbbing with pain, but he had to think about Xie Anlan.

Tightly pursing her lips, her voice was hoarse, "I don't like those two princesses, and the Chen Palace needs a side concubine, so..."

Lu Chu's face became tense, and he parted his lips. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "But... but Miss Cousin is a little out of order. Master, are you sure you want to bring Miss Cousin back?"

Lu Chuyi did not forget that Fu Yunwan framed their young master back then.

Now if she really wanted to give her to the prince as a concubine, the Prince Chen's mansion would be in chaos in the future.

"Cousin is actually alright." Lu Chengjie lowered his eyes, "It's just that she dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Now that the Chenwang Mansion is not the original Chenwang Mansion, she must be willing."

"What's more." Said that Lu Chengjie closed his eyes in pain, completely covering the loneliness in his eyes, and didn't want outsiders to peek into the scars deep in his heart, "I... I also want in my heart a person who owns me and His Highness. Children of blood."

After Lu Chengjie finished speaking, he opened his eyes, his eyes were sad but determined, "Cousin is the most suitable candidate."

When Lu Chu first saw that his young master had arranged everything, it was obvious that he only had to be responsible for doing it, but he felt very uncomfortable for no reason.

Somewhere in the bottom of my heart, there was still a faint feeling of distress for the young master, and even a flash of resentment towards Fu Yunwan flashed in my mind.

If she hadn't framed the young master back then, the young master wouldn't be in such pain as it is now.

but……

If that's the case, it seems like I won't be able to meet the prince again.

Lu Chuyi scratched his head, feeling a little conflicted in his heart.

At one moment, he felt that the young master was lucky to meet the prince, and at the other, he felt that it was unfortunate to meet the prince.

Heaven and man intertwined for a while, but he didn't figure out what he was contradicting.

In short, it is very contradictory.

"What are you whispering about?" Xie Anlan realized that the people around him had disappeared after walking for a long time. Looking back, Lu Chengjiao and Lu Chuyi fell behind and didn't know what they were talking about, so they had no choice but to Fold back.

"No." Hearing Xie Anlan's voice suddenly, Lu Chengjia was startled, shook his head in a panic, and then covered up, "It's just some business matters that need to be explained."

Xie Anlan raised his eyebrows. Obviously, Lu Chengjie's poor acting skills did not deceive him, but he didn't intend to delve into it.

The most important thing for two people to be together is trust. Since the other party doesn't want to talk, he just doesn't ask.

Putting his arms around his shoulders, he asked softly, "Is that finished?"

"It's... finished." Lu Chengjiao replied awkwardly, and was dragged away by Xie Anlan towards the gate of the palace.

"The first day of junior high school, don't forget." Before getting into the carriage, Lu Chengke was still worried that Lu Chuyi didn't take his words seriously, so he explained it again.

"En." Lu Chuyi nodded heavily.

If it wasn't for the fact that the young master had no choice, he really really really really didn't like Miss Biao at all!

"What's the matter, making it so solemn." After getting into the carriage, Xie Anlan glanced at the expressions of the two of them, and asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Chengjie paused as he bowed into the carriage, and then slowly replied, "It's nothing, Your Highness will find out in a few days."

Xie Anlan hummed, then stopped asking completely, and closed her eyes to rest her mind.

On the second day, Lu Chuyi left the mansion early and went to Weiyuanhou's mansion.

Fang Ru was stunned for a long time after hearing Lu Chuyi's intentions.

"Princess, he really doesn't mind?" Fang Ru was in a daze. After all, Fu Yunwan framed him so much back then, and now she really doesn't mind the past at all.

Lu Chuyi put away the disgust in his heart, and showed a pure smile on his face, "Mrs. Hou is right, but my young master and Miss Cousin are also siblings by blood. Just let us know if there is any misunderstanding between the siblings." , where will you hold grudges?"

What Lu Chuyi said was so beautiful that Fang Ru couldn't refute it, but she didn't believe that Lu Chengjia was really so kind.

In the past ten years, their Hou Mansion has always ignored this child. Even if the child doesn't care, they won't get so close to him.

Fang Ru calmed down and pondered for a while, then said slowly, "Then I would like to thank the princess for praising our family Yun Wan, and I will send someone to bring her back to the imperial capital in a short time, and Steward Lu can just go back and wait for news."

Lu Chuyi was convinced and went back to explain to Lu Chengjiao.

Fang Ru has been sitting in the main hall of the Hou Mansion without moving.

Her eldest daughter-in-law stayed with her for a while, and asked timidly, "Mother, do you really want my sister to come back and marry into the palace as a side concubine?"

"My sister once framed Princess Chen like that. How could Princess Chen be so kind? She probably has other ideas." The lady of the Hou Mansion changed her position and thought about it. If she was a man who was framed like this, she would want to drink the other party's blood How could he be so kind when he already had the intention to eat the other party's meat.

Fang Ru also nodded in agreement, "I sent Yun Wan to Qingzhou, although I was angry in my heart, but it was also to protect her. If she has caused such a disaster, if she is not sent far away, I am afraid it will not be possible. In a few days, I will die in Huangquan."

"Now..." Fang Ru frowned, thinking of Lu Chuyi's words, she really couldn't figure out Lu Chengjia's intentions, "Forget it, one has one's own fate, and the sins she made are her own. Go and pay it back, the good fortune from now on depends on her own, I can protect her for a while, but I can't protect her forever."

After Fang Ru finished speaking, half of her energy was lost in an instant, and she leaned on the mistress's chair and rubbed her swollen forehead.

The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion stood up and took the initiative to rub her.

The news came back to Qingzhou, Fu Yunwan was rubbing her sore wrist, copying this month's Buddhist scriptures.

After a year of torture and polishing, most of the hostility in her body has disappeared.

In the past, she would show resentment towards the mothers-in-law who disciplined her, trying to think in her heart, how she would make their life worse than death when she got out and became famous.

But as the days went by, she no longer dared to have such thoughts.

This monastery was also built on a high mountain, and it was a pure monastery. There were only a few female Taoist priests living in the courtyard, and no one else came all year round.

And she doesn't go out.

Originally, she thought that no matter how cruel her parents were, they would only lock her up for a few months before picking her up.

No matter how bad it is, the eldest brother and the second brother will not bear to see her suffer here.

As a result, she waited every day, every day, and all she was waiting for was the cool breeze on Qingzhou Mountain.

It's almost a year now.

Not to mention that the family members came to pick her up, they didn't even hear from her.

She... seems to have been completely forgotten by her family.

Once she accepted this fact, she didn't dare to have those resentful thoughts anymore, and she honestly copied the Buddhist scriptures every day.

She was afraid.

I am afraid that one day my parents will not even let me copy the Buddhist scriptures, and I will not learn the rules. The mother-in-law who taught these things will disappear, and she will only be left here to accompany the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime.

Every time she thinks of this, she is so afraid that she can't sleep at night. When she wakes up during the day, she copies Buddhist scriptures more and more diligently day by day. She studied hard for a day, and now the mothers-in-law who teach her no longer teach her.

She hopes that her efforts will be seen by her parents and they will take her back.

However, what came was nothing but disappointment day after day.

Today was no exception. Fu Yunwan woke up from the nightmare again, lay on the bed and opened her eyes for a while before getting up from the bed with a rustle. After finishing the bedding, she slowly walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to fetch water. Washed up.

After casually eating some porridge, she entered the Buddhist temple where the Buddhist scriptures were copied, and dipped a pen into the grinder to start copying one word at a time.

There are only a few Buddhist scriptures that she copied back and forth. She copied them every day and every night, and she basically knew how to recite them.

Now even with a glance, they can all be written silently, so the speed of copying is also faster.

She couldn't finish copying a hundred copies in a month before, but now she barely finishes writing and still has some time left.

In the extra time, she also made some clothes for Fang Ru and Fu Zheng alone, but unfortunately, no one from the emperor came, and no one returned to the imperial capital, so she never sent them back.

She was copying Buddhist scriptures when suddenly someone pushed open the door of her room.

She was a little bit taken aback, ever since Granny Xi stopped teaching her how to behave, no one could break into her room like this at will.

She put down the pen, rubbed her sore wrist, frowned, turned around, and said with some displeasure, "What's the matter."

"Miss, the mistress asked me to take you back to the imperial capital." A woman who had been by Fang Ru's side came in, and she was stunned when she saw that Fu Yunwan, who was a little thin and not like before, .

When Fu Yunwan heard this long-lost lady again, tears almost welled up in her eyes, but she still forcibly held back, and asked in a trembling voice, "Mother really asked you to come and pick me up?"

The tone was almost unbelievable, and Hong Zao even saw her reach out and pinch her thigh. After the pain made her gasp, she seemed to believe that this was not a dream.

"It's true." Hongzao nodded, "It's better for Miss to pack up her things and follow the slaves back to the imperial capital."

"Okay." Fu Yunwan stood up immediately to pack her things, but she took a step, and quickly calmed down from the great joy, "Why did my mother suddenly agree to let me go back to the imperial capital?"

After a year of reflection, Fu Yunwan also realized how wrong what she did back then.

No matter what she does now, I'm afraid she can't make up for this mistake, so it's impossible for her mother to forgive her so quickly, there must be other things.

Hong Zao didn't hide from her, and told Fu Yunwan everything Fang Ru told her.

Fu Yunwan was stunned after hearing this.

"Then Prince Chen really changed his mind and started a new life within a year, and prospered the Palace of Prince Chen?" Fu Yunwan's tone seemed to be listening to something terrible.

When she was in the imperial capital, she watched the defeat of Chenwang Mansion bit by bit.

That's why I'm so afraid of getting married.

When she thought that she would be with a bad gambler for the rest of her life, she was no less afraid then than she is now.

"Yes, miss, it's absolutely true." Hongzao nodded affirmatively, "Many businessmen in Qingzhou donated money to build roads. When returning to the imperial capital, miss can take a section of the repaired concrete road. Then miss will know that the servant said The words are true and false.”

"Understood." Fu Yunwan lowered her head, she lived on this mountain, and there was no news from the mountain, let alone something far away in the imperial capital.

Obviously, he was only locked up for a year, as if he was isolated from the world.

I really don't know if she stays for two more years, will she turn into a ghost.

Fu Yunwan put down the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the smooth and indestructible concrete road, and sighed in her heart.

This time back to the imperial capital, no matter what she says, don't do stupid things anymore, just let her cousin deal with it, as long as she doesn't lock her up in that isolated place.

After returning from the palace, Xie Anlan was busy for a few more days before she was free. The two of them got dressed early in the morning and prepared to spend some money today.

"Your Highness, where do we start?" Not far from the palace, there was a busy street, Lu Chengjie looked around and asked Xie Anlan.

"Don't be so troublesome, I just need to take you to a place, and I can spend all my money in an instant." Xie Anlan smiled, and looked at the neatly dressed clothes of the two of them.

Those who knew it were fine, but those who didn't know thought they were going to discuss business.

"Where?" Lu Chengjiao was curious.

"Just follow me." Xie Anlan led him, ignoring the strange eyes of others, and walked towards a somewhat secluded street.

Not long after, they stopped in front of Sheng'an Casino.

Lu Chengjie raised his head and stared at the shop sign of the Gambling Shop, and then suddenly smiled, "Your Highness, this place to spend money is really a good choice."

"That's natural." Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows proudly, and led him into the casino.

The gambling hall in the morning is not as noisy as in the evening, and those local hooligans are still sleeping at home.

The casino is also deserted, except for some gamblers who are still gambling since last night, there are only a few yawning servants left.

Afraid of spoiling Lu Chengjiao's eyes, Xie Anlan also chose this time period deliberately.

As soon as they entered, Li Yougan, who was yawning with his head down on the counter, shook his head, ready to welcome the guests, but when he looked up and saw Xie Anlan, he was stunned.

"Shopkeeper Li, I haven't seen you for a while, why don't you know me?" Xie Anlan smiled at him.

"His Royal Highness." Li Youqian woke up instantly, bowed to Xie Anlan, and finally bowed to Lu Chengjiao, "His Royal Highness."

"You're welcome." Xie Anlan flicked his sleeves, looking very chic, "I have nothing to do, let's go to Shopkeeper Li to have fun, and Shopkeeper Li will take care of the arrangements."

Li Youqian's face changed after hearing this. When he sent the account book into the palace a few days ago, he heard His Majesty nagging that he can quit gambling addiction as big as Prince Chen's, which shows that the gamblers in the world can also quit. Those who lose their gambling addiction depend on whether they want to or not.

As a result, a few days before His Majesty said this, Prince Chen had a relapse, and this time he even brought his concubine with him. This...isn't this equivalent to slapping His Majesty in the face.

Li Youqian wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but he couldn't say a word.

"Why is Shopkeeper Li not welcoming me?" Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows when she saw him standing still, a little displeased.

"No, no, please come with me, Your Highness Prince Chen." Li Yougan's heart skipped a beat, not daring to offend Xie Anlan.

Before the two of them took two steps, the curtain at the entrance of the gambling house was raised by another person.

When the three of them heard the movement, they all turned around, and then they were all taken aback.

"Hey, brother, it's a rare visitor today." Xie Huarong, king of Hejian County, saw Xie Anlan leading Lu Chengcao. After a moment of sluggishness, he laughed and went to lift the curtain on the door again, as if he was welcoming something. people.

Not long after, I saw two beautiful figures coming in from the door.

Now the whole gambling house has become more beautiful.

Xie Anlan raised her long and narrow phoenix eyes, with a slight indifference on her face.

Lu Chengjiao frowned bluntly, pursed his lips and did not want to speak.

"Xue Ling met His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Xue Ling, Princess of the Snow Country, was also taken aback when she saw Xie Anlan, and immediately saluted.

"Meng Heyou has seen King Chen...His Royal Highness." The grassland princess Meng Heyou focused all her attention on Lu Chengjia as soon as she came in. She didn't follow closely until Xue Ling saluted next to her. salute.

"En." Xie Anlan responded lightly, without any intention of responding.

However, Xie Huarong's eyes turned around a few people, as if he didn't find any embarrassment, he smiled, "Brother Huang hasn't come to the gambling house for a while, why are you interested in playing today?"

"I'll come if I want to." Xie Anlan squinted at him with an extremely perfunctory tone.

"It's all here. It just so happened that the empress ordered me to take the two princesses around the imperial capital these few days. I went wherever I could. In the end, I had no choice but to bring them here to have fun. Why don't you do it together, brother?" Companion." Xie Huarong's tone was a little proud, as if it was something worth showing off that the matter of entertaining the two princesses fell on him.

As everyone knows, when Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia heard that Ran Ruyan had asked him to receive the two princesses, they both held back their laughter in their hearts.

What kind of scoundrel Xie Huarong is, the people in the whole imperial capital know that when they asked him to receive the two princesses, they obviously didn't take these two princesses into their eyes, and of course they didn't take him into their eyes, so they gave this hot potato to him. he.

And Xie Huarong really lived up to Ran Ruyan's entrustment, and brought two golden-branched and jade-leaved princesses to a dirty place like the gambling house, it was really... well done.

After Xie Anlan laughed in her heart, she turned her head to look at Lu Chengjiao, and he obeyed him.

Lu Chengjiao thought about it for a while and finally nodded. It's fine if you don't meet him, but if you do, it's no fun to keep hiding.

After a few people negotiated, Li Youqian arranged all these giant Buddhas in the Tianzihao box and let them play.

"The two princesses have something to like." There are all kinds of gambling in the Tianzihao box, and Xie Huarong upholds his usual "demeanor" and let the two princesses choose first.

The two princesses grew up in the deep palace, and they are both new to this place. They are completely unfamiliar with gambling skills. They will be dazzled by those colorful people, and they both pointed The simplest dice, "Just this one."

"Okay." Seeing the dice, Xie Huarong's face turned pale, thinking that the last time he played dice with Xie Anlan was also playing with dice, and looked at Xie Anlan with a slightly ugly face, "Brother Huang, this time we can't play like the last time. gone."

"It's natural." Xie Anlan lay on the chair, raised one leg, with an extremely casual expression.

Seeing that Xie Huarong gritted his teeth, since he was tricked by Xie Anlan last time, he felt like throwing up when he saw the dice. If he couldn't win the money back with this dice today, he would feel unwilling.

Standing behind Xie Anlan, Lu Chengjie saw clearly the squirming of Xie Huarong's masseter muscles, raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, and lowered his eyes.

The two princesses occupied the left and right sides of the gaming table, with Xie Anlan sitting at the head and Xie Huarong at the bottom.

For the sake of fairness, the dice are rolled by the dealer, but the dealer does not place bets.

Xie Anlan came to spend money today, not to win money, so she took out a bank note and put it on the table, and without waiting for the dealer to roll the dice, she threw 1 taels on the big characters.

His throw directly shocked the three people present.

The two princesses were born in the royal family and have seen countless gold, silver and jewels, but they can't spend as much money as Xie Anlan.

For a moment, the faces of both of them were a little ugly. If they didn't follow, they would look a little bit embarrassed, but if they didn't play with the little money they had with them, they wouldn't be able to play a few times.

Xie Huarong gritted his teeth again. Of course he knew that Xie Anlan was rich recently, but he didn't expect him to be so rich. Every time he made a move, he would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. He brought thousands of taels all over his body. Isn't this a deliberate embarrassment? he.

Xie Anlan's eyes turned to several people, seeing their thoughts in his eyes, put his hand under his chin, and said indifferently, "I'll bet on mine, you can do whatever you want."

As soon as he said this, the three people present looked relieved, and each bet 100 taels on Xiaoshang.

Xie Huarong even raised a proud brow secretly, Xie Anlan is so generous today, let's see if he doesn't lose him to the bottom.

Sure enough, the dealer opened the dice cup, one one, two threes, it was small.

Xie Huarong unceremoniously scraped over the silver bill that Xie Anlan had thrown on the table, divided it with the two princesses, and said with a proud face, "Then, brother, I will be disrespectful."

Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows and gave a hum, ignored the 1 taels of silver, took out another 1 taels from her pocket, and threw it on the word "small".

Xie Huarong had just finished distributing 1 taels, and he got more than 3000 taels. Before he had time to be happy, Fu saw the thick banknotes on the table, and his face was embarrassed.

Xie Anlan made it look like he was very petty.

Meng Heyou had just won Xie Anlan's money, and she was still happy in her heart, and it was a small revenge on the king of Chen, but when she saw that he took out another ten thousand or twenty thousand without blinking, she seemed very stupid.

Xueling was the only one who didn't have the joy of winning money. She looked at Xie Anlan with some admiration, but frowned again after meeting Lu Chengjiao's gaze behind Xie Anlan.

She always felt that this princess was difficult to deal with, and more importantly, with this jewel in front of her, her appearance was not liked by the king, and there was a prairie princess staring at her, how could she move away from the two princesses in front of her? Dashan attracted the attention of King Chen?

Meng Heyou was indeed looking at Xie Anlan at the moment, but her eyes were not on Xie Anlan at all, but on Lu Chengjie who was behind Xie Anlan.

Thinking of the night of the banquet, when everyone hated her as a grassland princess, only this person gently picked up the veil for her, and carefully covered her feet with his own handkerchief, her face became insignificant It turned red.

Seeing that the two princesses on the table were only "secretly flirting" with Xie Anlan, Xie Huarong became more impatient in his heart, and intensified his mentality of wanting to lose Xie Anlan.

"Come again." Xie Huarong yelled and placed another bet of 1000 taels of silver on the table, reminding the dealer to continue.

Just ten games like this, Xie Anlan has already lost one hundred thousand silver.

Xie Huarong got 3 taels of silver, and she was completely red-eyed, laughing more happily every time, and couldn't care about the two princesses next to her, and only had the word "win" in her eyes.

No matter how stupid the two princesses were, they understood that this Prince Chen was too unlucky to gamble, as long as he bet on the opposite number, he would win.

Who doesn't like money, even the royal princess can't refuse the temptation of sending money to her door.

After playing for a while, when Xie Anlan was about to lose almost 50 taels of silver, Lu Chengjie finally couldn't sit still.

With a clear cough, "Seeing that you guys are having fun, why don't you add me."

Everyone looked at him, Xie Anlan raised his jaw and smiled, "Let's play."

"It's boring to compare the size, I want to be the dealer." Lu Chengjia looked at the dice cup in the dealer's hand, full of interest.

"Then let Brother Lu... Brother Wangfei shake it." As soon as Lu Chengjiao spoke, Meng Heyou's heart stopped beating, and he almost said the wrong thing.

Xie Anlan had no objection, and neither did Xie Huarong. Xueling did not welcome Lu Chengjia, but everyone agreed, and it was not easy for her to refuse alone.

Lu Chengjie took the dice from the dealer's hand, and put 20 taels of silver in front of him as soon as he made a move.

With a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, "You can do whatever you want."

Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows, and bet 20 taels on the word "big".

Lu Chengjie smiled, and Meng Heyou's heart couldn't stop beating. She originally won 18 taels of silver from Xie Anlan's hands. "superior.

Xue Ling didn't want to bet so big at first, but she saw that Meng Heyou had already bet on it. As a princess of the Snow Country, she couldn't fall behind her, so she gritted her teeth and made up 20 taels to bet on.

Say it silently in your heart, don't feel bad or feel bad, and you can win it all back later.

Xie Huarong saw that everyone had bet 20 taels, so he couldn't fall behind, but he only had the 18 taels that won Xie Anlan in front of him, and he only had 2000 taels with him, so he had no choice but to borrow 2 taels from Li Youqian silver.

I thought that I would win it back later anyway, and I would be able to pay it back later.

"Then I'll move." Everyone placed their bets, and Lu Chengjie's thin joints held the pitch-black dice cup and shook it rhythmically.

The four people present had their own thoughts.

Not long after, the dice cup in Lu Chengjia's hand fell, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the dark dice cup, and no one noticed Lu Chengjia's faint smile.

The answer was soon revealed.

"Three ones, Leopard." The banker who stood watching was very excited, "The banker takes all!"

Seeing the three ones, who were young and waiting for the money, before they got happy, they heard the words of the banker, the banker takes all.

His face turned pale instantly.

"How is it possible?!" Xie Huarong was the first person who couldn't accept it. He borrowed money to gamble, and he was just waiting for this hand to win a big one, but Lu Chengjie won them all.
