The queen is a bit cowardly

Chang Lan stepped into the small courtyard, and looked around the small courtyard under the moonlight. The small courtyard is located behind the veranda, and it can be regarded as an independent courtyard, with four households and one house, which is not bad.But there were no flowers or trees in the courtyard, weeds sprouted between the stone crevices, wild cats squatted on the tile-roofed houses, and only an oil lamp was lit in the main house, which was not enough to illuminate the small courtyard.

"Be careful where you step." Jiang Qingluan reminded Chang Lan, leading the way by herself: "The humble house has not entertained guests yet, so please forgive me if there is any negligence."

Chang Lan suddenly remembered Qingluan's catchphrase, and she replied, "It's okay."

The two walked into the main house, and Chang Lan handed the shoes to A Li. In fact, the ground inside the house was very clean. There were four old mats in the middle of the room. Chang Lan didn't care too much, so she chose a guest seat and sat down. Look at Jiang Qingluan, because she has been barefoot, she is still sitting at the door to tidy up.

Chang Lan looked inside the house. She had heard the word: a house with four walls, but a princess of a country has never seen real poverty. Today she has a deep understanding of this word. The room is very simple, just a bed, A box for clothes was placed on the wall, followed by the tea machine and four old mats in front of her.

In the end, Chang Lan's eyes still fell on the vase on the tea machine. In such a poor house, there was still a bellflower.

After tidying herself up, Qingluan followed into the room, and she sat down cross-legged opposite Chang Lan. She remembered that Chang Lan's eyes were indifferent during the ceremony that day, but today she felt tenderness under the faint oil lamp, Qingluan I feel a little envious in my heart, if I don't have no worries about food and clothing, how can I be so comfortable.

Bale put the kettle on and walked in barefoot. This was the first time he saw a guest at home. Seeing that Jiang Qingluan was still wearing the other party's cloak, he didn't think he was an annoying guy.

He knelt down on one knee, pressed his right hand on his left chest, and said to Jiang Qingluan: "Your Highness, do you need me to prepare something for the distinguished guest?"

Under this roof, the two masters and servants have long been less polite, and Ba Le has given Qingluan enough face today, but when he came here to ask what he was preparing for, the family didn't even have tea, and she wondered, this man from Fuxi It is possible to fight, but it is really worrying to do things.

Chang Lan also saw Qingluan's embarrassment, so she said to Ba Le, "A cup of hot water."

Ba Le only felt that the girl was easy to serve, so he patted his right chest and retreated. Jiang Qingluan smiled awkwardly. Qingluan loves to laugh, but this was indeed the first time Chang Lan saw emotion in her smile.

"A Li, give medicine to Your Highness." Chang Lan arranged in a low voice.

A Li walked up to Jiang Qingluan on his knees, and pulled Jiang Qingluan's foot without saying a word, but the foot retracted, and A Li quickly grabbed Jiang Qingluan's foot again, pulling Jiang Qingluan's foot in front of him.

"Why is that!" Jiang Qingluan hid back, she never thought that this slave girl was so strong.

Chang Lan saw that the way Qingluan was frightened by A Li was different from the boldness she had on the day of running the bull, and she didn't know whether she was really afraid or just acting on the spot.

"Your Highness, I heard from Donggong that you injured my ankle in order to save me, so you brought medicine today."

Only then did Qingluan bite the bullet and stretched out her left foot. Under the candlelight, she could clearly see that her left ankle was swollen into a ball.Chang Lan shut up and didn't say a word. The other party was dancing at the banquet just now. What kind of perseverance made her persist like this.

Chang Lan took a square box of sandalwood in her middle sleeve and put it on the tea machine: "This is the bone medicine presented by the Sunrise Kingdom. It is said that it is made from keel bones. It is extremely precious. Don't shirk it, Your Highness. If it wasn't for you saving your life that day, I would have given it to you." I won't sit with you."

Chang Lan's words were impeccable, and Qingluan couldn't refuse every time. At this moment, Ba Le walked into the room with two cups. She presented the cups to the two of them, and then quietly withdrew them.

"What else is your Highness asking for? I will satisfy all that I can." Chang Lan couldn't help leaning forward, she looked into Jiang Qingluan's eyes, she spoke so clearly, it depends on Jiang Qingluan's ambition, although she It's just a princess, but the resources that can be mobilized should be much larger than the current King Fu.

Jiang Qingluan looked at her trotter-like feet, but raised her eyes and said, "There is no food in the lonely family, no oil in the pot, and a small pocket. If the princess is willing, can I give some gold taels?"

Chang Lan was taken aback for a moment, but then she thought again, originally there was only a relationship between two sides, the other party didn't need to take care of herself, instead she went a step further: "Has your Highness thought about going back to the temple again?"

Jiang Qingluan was so frightened that her hands shook, she poured the boiling water that had just been served on the floor, and she hurriedly wiped away the water stains with her sleeve, and then replied in a low voice: "Of course I want to, but the princess also knows After I leave, Fu Kingdom has established a new king, and I can't go back, my Jiang family and Chang's family belong to the same clan, and I can still be filial to my ancestors by staying in Tianping."

Sitting upright, Chang Lan was in extreme contrast to the embarrassment of Jiang Qingluan opposite. Who could believe that the person in the upper position was an unsuccessful woman, while the person in the lower position was once a monarch.

She picked up the water glass in front of her and emptied it lightly, and said, "I'll send the gold and silver tomorrow."

Jiang Qingluan laughed, she still had the same air of being neither humble nor overbearing but harmless to humans and animals, she saluted and said, "Thank you princess in advance."

"Your Highness should think about what I mentioned."

"Okay." Jiang Qingluan agreed, but said to Ba Le: "What time is it, I have to boil water for a bath."

A man's voice came from a distance: "I don't know, if you want to wash it, I will burn it."

Chang Lan naturally knew that Jiang Qingluan wanted to see off the guest, so she straightened her skirt and stood up. The other party pretended to be crazy, but she didn't care. Anyway, Jiang Qingluan couldn't get out of the balance, and she had plenty of time to wait for her.

"Since His Highness wants to rest, I won't bother you." Chang Lan gave A Li a wink, and the female slave put down the cloth bag containing the cakes.

Qingluan looked out of the window, the position of the moon was already at the end of Xu hour, and she pointed to her humble house and replied: "If you are still in my Fuwang Palace, I will leave the princess in my Fengqi Terrace to chat at night while holding candles."

Chang Lan raised her sleeve and covered her mouth with a chuckle: "Your Highness is being frivolous."

Jiang Qingluan originally just wanted to highlight her own poverty, but she really realized that she had said something wrong. Where is Fengqi Terrace, and it is the residence of the queens of Fu Kingdom.

When Qingluan was young, under the arrangement of the clan, she actually married a queen. She vaguely remembered that she was the niece of the clan uncle Fuyang Lord, but the queen did not enter the palace, but lived in her mother's house all the time. I like Fengqi Terrace, it used to be her mother's palace, she often stayed there quietly overnight, now Fuyang Jun's son has become the new Fu King, and her queen has been made a princess in a daze.

The barbarian talisman, the place of barbarism, has never been polite and has no rules.

Ba Le sent off Chang Lan and her female slave, and hurried back to Jiang Qingluan. He unceremoniously chose a snack from the cloth bag, and handed another one to his master. Jiang Qingman took the snack but just set aside.

"Why don't you eat it? Could it be poisonous?" Baler looked at the little white rabbit in his hand, it was crystal clear, and it didn't look like it was poisonous.

"I don't have an appetite." Jiang Qingluan replied, no longer calling her lonely on such occasions.

Baler swallowed the rabbit in one gulp, without tasting it, he swallowed it in two or three gulps, picked up the water glass that Chang Lan had just drank, and quickly took a sip of water.

"Is she the princess of the Kingdom of Xin?" Balak looked in the direction outside the door.

Jiang Qingluan nodded: "I didn't expect Xin Guo to have such a woman, but it's interesting."

"What did she do to you?"

Jiang Qingluan rubbed her fingers, this Highness was heroic when she was not smiling, she said: "She asked me if I want to go back to the temple."

"Okay!" Ba Le clapped his hands and said, "By borrowing her soldiers from the Xin Kingdom, let's go back to the big talisman."

"The princess of Xin Kingdom is not as good as the princess of Fu Kingdom." Jiang Qingluan looked at Ba Le, she didn't want to hurt the confidence of this warrior, but she still said: "The princess here has no military power, not even a sword, their only use is marriage, Life and death are at stake, I dare not play house with her."

Bale was really discouraged, and he asked, "But it's not okay to stay here all the time. Kong You is old, and it's not good for us if his son becomes a family."

Jiang Qingluan looked in the direction of the main house, and sighed: "There is no husband, and there is no me today..."

"Anyway, the princess wants to send some money. Let's escape when the moon is dark and windy." Ba Le said, "Why bother to send someone here."

"Dafu black phoenix assassins are all over the world. If we leave the balance, we will die."

"Then what to do!" Whenever Balak got upset, the master and servant had been in the balance for five years, and they had also been imprisoned for five years. How could such days be seen to end.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to." Jiang Qingluan elongated her voice, lying on the ground, through the gaps in the rubble, she could see the stars in the sky: "Go back to your room and rest, the lonely king is tired."

Ba Le knocked on his right chest and backed out. He has been by Jiang Qingluan's side since he was 15 years old, and now 25 years have passed. Jiang Qingluan is his master and his child. No matter what she decides, he will Just stay by her side.

Jiang Qingluan raised his left foot, and there was a faint smell of medicine on it. A Li's craftsmanship was very good, and the wound was wrapped very solidly. Thinking of A Li's master, the proud princess, Jiang Qingluan said in a low voice: "Interesting, really interesting."

After leaving the gate of Da Sikou's Mansion, a carriage had already been waiting outside. There were ten guards at the front and back of the carriage. The groom saw the master coming and hurried up to greet him. Chang Lan got into the carriage with A Li's support.

"Sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time." There was already a young man sitting in the carriage, and it was the son of a concubine, Chang Min.

"You came after yourself." Chang Lan replied.

"How did King Fu react to your proposal?" Chang Min asked.

Chang Lan raised the corner of her mouth and replied, "Your Highness is unfathomable."

"Just like that lost dog?" Chang Min couldn't understand: "Just now I saw the son of General Bingche's family, and said that King Fu was performing a dance for Kong Yida's grandson."

Chang Lan looked at her younger brother and asked, "If you were to change places with her, would you dance this dance?"

Chang Min looked disgusted, and said: "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated."

Chang Lan shook her head in disappointment: "You are just as confused as your brothers."
