Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

It's a pity to say that Xiang Wanchun has been in the palace for nearly a year, and he has never seen Su Shuangran caress the qin once.And when he saw that scene, Xiang Wanchun happened to play hide-and-seek with Wen Ran.Can't remember when it started, Wen Ran likes to cling to Xiang Wanchun.Wen Ran came to Lingshuang Palace most of the time just to look for Xiang Wanchun's figure.At the age of being taught to study, Xiang Wanchun couldn't help worrying about Wen Ran's running every two days.

For the heirs of the royal family with high status, it is not difficult to get a court lady, but Wen Ran just can't persuade Qinglian, who is in charge of Xiangwanchun.Moreover, Xiang Wanchun had a lot of work on his hands and couldn't spare time all the time, so Xiang Wanchun promised Wenran that as long as he studied hard, he would spare time to play with him.It was Wen Ran's compromise that Xiang Wanchun overheard the melodious piano sound while searching in the backyard.

The hurried pace slowed down and then stayed where it was. Although Xiang Wanchun didn't understand music theory, the long and long ethereal sound of the piano entered the ears and made people feel peaceful and peaceful. All the distractions are gone.

Xiang Wanchun originally wanted to stop and wait for An Jing to finish listening before leaving quietly, but he was deeply curious about the person playing the piano.After several times of hesitation, Xiang Wanchun couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and searched for the sound of the piano.

After some searching, Xiang Wanchun finally saw the person who was playing the strings under the gazebo by the pool.The light-colored figure playing the zither sometimes looks up in a daze, sometimes lowers his head and closes his eyes to listen carefully, a kind of elegant charm faintly exudes from the hands and feet in the light and slow twisting.Su Shuangran didn't seem to be aware of the crackling sounds of the bushes around her, at this moment she was engrossed in playing the guqin.

Seeing this, Xiang Wanchun didn't dare to make a noise, and stood still for fear of disturbing people's interest by rushing forward.

If it wasn't for Su Shuangran playing the piano too wonderfully, then it was because Xiang Wanchun listened too obsessively. In short, after listening quietly, Xiang Wanchun missed the fault of going to Wen Ran.

Wen Ran hid his body in a small hole in the rockery at the back, his legs and feet were already numb, but there was still no sign of Xiang Wanchun coming to look for him. Secretly resenting and cursing, he had to come out of the cave to find the other party.Half-kneading and half-kicking his legs, he went around a long circle before finding Xiang Wanchun, but what he saw was Xiang Wanchun's tiny cat clinging to the side of the bushes and spying furtively.Wen Ran frowned, his lover had forgotten him.

Instead of creeping over to scare people from behind like usual, Wen Ran was dissatisfied and made him yell at people, "What are you doing?"

Xiang Wanchun was a bit guilty of being a villain at first, but now he was caught by someone, even if he was frightened or afraid that he would be seen by Su Shuangran who was not far away, Xiang Wanchun took a few steps back to the side of the tree.Then she turned her head and saw Wen Ran with a complaining and angry face. It wasn't Qinglian who relieved her, but Xiang Wanchun was embarrassed because she had no intention of leaving someone aside: "Third prince."

Thinking that I had been waiting for her there for a long time, but she was hiding here and didn't know who to peek at. Wen Ran was angry and didn't answer, and walked around Xiang Wanchun's body.

When Xiang Wanchun saw Wen Ran's thoughts, it was too late to stop him, because Wen Ran called out, "Mother and Concubine." He just wanted to see what the person who could make Xiang Wanchun rush to him with his thoughts looked like, and he didn't want the other party. It turned out to be Su Shuangran, Wen Ran looked behind him suspiciously, only to see Xiang Wanchun, who was clearly no more than the size distance from him, walking slowly and stopping.

It was not easy for Xiang Wanchun to be caught visiting again and again, and when it was the same person, she was so ashamed that she just wanted to find a hole to slip in.She was unwilling to meet Su Shuangran face to face, but the rules in the palace did not allow her to flee in a hurry, Xiang Wanchun had no choice but to bite the bullet and salute slowly, saying in a vague way: "Your Majesty, servant girl It's not intentional to peep, but I passed by here accidentally on the way to find the third prince, and stopped because I thought the piano sounded good." Before Su Shuangran asked, she stopped calling herself.

"You said it was an unintentional act, but I have stood behind you for a long time, how come you didn't notice it at all?" Wen Ran was embarrassed by Qinglian's usual deeds, and at this time she was imitating Qinglian's appearance. Xiang Wanchun spoke childishly, but he insisted on majesty, "What else do you have to say?"

Xiang Wanchun's cheeks were burning red, she forgot that there was Wen Ran beside her at this moment, otherwise Su Shuangran wouldn't pursue it even if it was such a nonsense reason.Xiang Wanchun remained silent. To be precise, she had nothing to say and didn't know what to do.

I only felt that Xiangwan Chun Feifei's face was really cute, Su Shuangran raised the corners of her lips slightly invisibly, and put her gaze back on Wen Ran, she inadvertently asked: "Some days haven't passed, how can I be so happy?" I wonder if the third prince has improved in his studies?"

His whole heart was on Xiang Wanchun, Wen Ran didn't expect Su Shuangran to mention his homework to him, his complacent expression immediately faded away, his voice was thin and dull, he hesitated and said: "The teacher arranged for you today I don't have much homework, and I can finish it in less than half an hour." Wen Ran talked about him from left to right, and easily knew that his recent academic performance was not good without much guesswork.

Wen Ran thought that talking about Su Shuangran in this way would make him feel at ease, and that he might be able to get away with it, but unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for Su Shuangran's response. This made Wen Ran feel a little suspenseful, and had to change what he said just now: "My son, go back and write now."

Su Shuangran finally raised her forehead: "The third prince's book should be memorized almost, and I will test you when I come back next time."

Wen Ran felt even more empty when he heard this, and he forgot about it even when he was so busy looking for Xiang Wanchun.It wasn't until Su Shuangran mentioned it that he had some impressions in a trance.In order to conceal the truth, Wen Ran only nodded and agreed: "I know."

"The third prince is not too young, and he should understand the principle of focusing on studies and playing as a supplement. If you want to succeed in your studies, don't forget your father's expectation of your promotion and ability." Su Shuangran persuaded .

He didn't talk much, but he spoke earnestly. After hearing this, Wen Ran put away his playful temper, and replied respectfully: "My mother's teachings, my son and minister will keep them in mind, and the minister will leave first." After speaking, the man left on his own.

Looking at it before and after, Xiang Wanchun felt ashamed. If it weren't for her, Wen Ran would be studying hard in the palace right now.Looking at Su Shuangran in front of him, she seemed to want to find a trace of disappointment with Wen Ran or dissatisfaction with her, but Xiang Wanchun couldn't find any trace after searching for a long time.

Xiang Wanchun was rejoicing but also ashamed, and when she was about to step down in the midst of self-blame, Su Shuangran called to her: "Wan Chun likes the music just now, right?"

Didn't you just say this?Xiang Wanchun didn't know why, but he still told the truth: "I like it."

Su Shuangran's beautiful eyes were radiant and charming, and she seemed to be very satisfied with Xiang Wanchun's answer. Xiang Wanchun was bewildered by her smile, and when she looked at her in a daze, she heard Su Shuangran say: "That Wanchun Want to learn?"

It seemed that Su Shuangran's voice was too low, Xiang Wanchun said in a dull and impolite way: "Your Majesty... the servant did not hear clearly."

Xiang Wanchun's reaction was within her expectation, Su Shuangran asked: "Since Wanchun likes it, how about trying to learn?"

In fact, Xiang Wanchun didn't have this idea at first, but when Su Shuangran mentioned it, she was inevitably moved.However, everyone knows that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have always been only for young ladies to learn skills, and it is just a dream to ask a little maid like her to play.After being surprised, Xiang Wanchun shook his head and replied, "I dare not."

Su Shuangran listened, and said in a harmonious voice: "As long as Wan Chun likes it, who dares to do so?"

Su Shuangran's words made Xiang Wanchun ready to move, but even if she put aside those things, she should be aware of the consequences.The master taught the lowly servants how to play the piano, not to mention the slightest disobedience, what would others think of this rumor?It not only lost Su Shuangran's face, but also gave her a reputation of being clingy and fawning.Xiang Wanchun didn't care too much about being implicated herself, but Su Shuangran was used as an excuse for no reason, she would be somewhat concerned.

Therefore, Xiang Wanchun refused again: "Your Majesty's kind intentions, the servants will understand, but the servants really can't."

"The palace has always been a place of right and wrong, and gossip is inevitable," Su Shuangran's mind is more transparent than that of Xiang Wanchun, and Xiang Wanchun naturally has plans in mind, "Even if we are cautious in everything, we can't avoid it." There is nothing wrong with accusing other people of slander and slander? Fortunately, those gossips always come on the wind, and after a while, they will disappear without a trace. In this way, we will not be able to defend against doing things according to our hearts."

Xiang Wanchun had already firmed up his mind, but after hearing what Su Shuangran said, he was shaken again.Seeing that Xiang Wanchun hesitated again and again, Su Shuangran no longer tried to force it. After all, it was because of the hidden expectation in her eyes when she saw the qin in her hand earlier that she came up with this thought: "Wan Chun still remembers Is it about collecting books? I think it should be easy to learn these things based on Wan Chun’s memory, but it depends on Wan Chun’s wishes, so it’s useless for me to say more.”

This was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after listening to Su Shuangran's persuasion, Xiang Wanchun felt very itchy.She herself is also a person who is very easy to act according to her temperament, so she hesitated for a while and then agreed.

Qinglian was shocked when she saw Xiang Wanchun, not for anything else, what Xiang Wanchun was fiddled with was a guqin that Su Shuangran loved very much. Where is Xiang Wanchun practicing?Qinglian was very confused, and when she was about to reprimand Xiang Wanchun for being unruly, she saw Su Shuangran shaking her head and had to give up.
