My emperor, long live!

"Ugh!"

Qin Ran lay on the fence next to the Zuiqing Pool in the Royal Garden, sighed deeply, and irritatedly threw a handful of fish food into the pond in front of him.

The koi in the pool are writhing and scrambling for food on the surface of the water. The water is splashing and the water plants are swaying. The scene is full of joy.

But Qin Ran by the pool frowned even tighter, and his pink and round face was puffed up, and he let out a low and long sigh again.

It looked like a pleated bun.

"Fifth princess, you seem to be unhappy since the ceremony of Jiji four days ago, but who offended you?" Jin Qiu, the maid who was waiting by the side, heard Qin Ran sigh several times today, Finally couldn't bear to ask.

Hearing Jin Qiu's mention of Ji Ji's gift, Qin Ran recalled that day under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Pei Mo's eyes were fascinated, and her thin lips with a faint plum wine aroma gently embraced her lips.

The red glow covered Qin Ran's cheeks in an instant, spreading all the way to the ears.

Half from embarrassment, half from annoyance.

"Pei Xiang..." Qin Ran twisted the corner of his clothes with a face full of confusion, hesitated for a moment and then asked Jin Qiu: "Is Pei Xiang very busy recently?"

"Pei Xiang?" Jin Qiu was slightly stunned, and then remembered that Pei Xiang, who came almost every day on weekdays, seemed to have never been here for a few days since the day when the fifth princess and Ji passed away.

Thinking of this, Jin Qiu looked sideways at his master, and asked softly: "But what did the princess do wrong to annoy Prime Minister Pei?"

Qin Ran was very depressed, deeply depressed!That day Mingming, that guy Pei Mo somehow stole her first kiss, and then he turned and left without even giving her a chance to get angry, and then he didn't show up for a few days.

Now, why did she annoy Pei Mo?

Qin Ran was dissatisfied at the moment, "Why can't she bully me and annoy me?"

Seeing Qin Ran's swollen look, Jin Qiu couldn't help covering her lips and chuckling: "If it wasn't for the princess, you annoyed Prime Minister Pei, why are you waiting for her on the road that Prime Minister Pei must pass?" What's more, Prime Minister Pei is so wise. How can a person who is out of dust do wrong things and annoy the princess?

Seeing the increasingly depressed little face of the fifth princess, Jinqiu stuck out her tongue playfully, but didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

After being pointed out by Jinqiu, Qin Ran's small face blushed completely, "Who, who said that I came here specially to wait for her? I came to feed the fish! Now that the fish are fed, I'm planning to return to the scene What about Pingyuan, hum!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Ran turned around and wanted to leave.

"My princess said, who is it that is making noise in the imperial garden? It turns out to be the fifth princess!" A voice full of pride came from not far away.

Qin Ran turned her head and saw Qin Yue in gorgeous robes, surrounded by four or five servants, walking towards her.

Seeing Qin Yue, Qin Ran's eyes flashed a little cold.Qin Yue was the child of the empress of the current dynasty and the king of the side. Although she was a concubine, but because the king of the side, Qu Huai, was very favored by the queen, Qin Yue's status in the palace was naturally good.

Also because of this, Qin Yue's temperament became more arrogant and domineering, with a domineering posture in her bones, which was annoying.

When she was young, she and the eldest princess Qin Rong liked to bully Qin Ran the most, ranging from insults to direct violence.Later, with Pei Mo protecting her, life became much easier.

On weekdays, Qin Ran had tried to avoid any interaction with her, but he didn't want to run into her in this imperial garden today.

"Qin Ran didn't intend to disturb the third sister, so he planned to go back to the palace, Jin Qiu, let's go." Qin Ran slightly blessed Qin Yue, and planned to leave with Jin Qiu.

Qin Ran's words immediately aroused the anger in Qin Yue's heart, and immediately reached out to stop Qin Ran who was about to leave, and said angrily: "Qin Ran, do you think that you can ignore this princess because Xiang Pei is protecting you now? ?”

Qin Ran frowned slightly and lowered her head. Although she was a little scared in her heart, her tone was still neither humble nor overbearing: "Qin Ran didn't mean to offend Third Sister."

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Qin Yue looked fiercely at the red mark on Qin Ran's cheek, raised her voice, and her eyes were full of sarcasm: "Qin Ran, you are just a bastard born by a palace girl. , what right do you have to shout at me!"

Her cheeks were hot and painful, Qin Ran lowered her eyes, and her knuckles gradually turned white because of too much force in her hand clutching the hem of the skirt.

Pei Mo once taught her that to achieve great things, one must first learn the word forbearance.Especially when you are in a weak position, not only will you not gain the slightest advantage by strong resistance, but you will also fall into a more difficult situation.

She always remembered what Pei Mo had said to her, so even though her heart was full of anger at this time, she still pressed her lips tightly to hold back.

Jin Qiu at the side saw her master being beaten, so in order to prevent Qin Yue from attacking again, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Qin Yue, crying: "Third princess, my master didn't intend to offend you, please let the third princess go My master!"

Qin Yue looked at Jin Qiu who was kneeling in front of her, snorted coldly, kicked her to the ground unceremoniously, and shouted: "What are you! A dog slave dares to come out and contradict me, what kind of thing is it?" What kind of servant is your master? Bilan, bring this lowly maid back to my palace and give it to Madam Liu to take care of her!"

Hearing this, the maid named Bilan hurriedly greeted another maid, and stepped forward to pull Jinqiu to take her away.

Seeing this, Qin Ran hurriedly stepped forward to stop the maid who was pulling Jinqiu, looked at Qin Yue and said, "What do you want me to do before you let Jinqiu go!"

Jin Qiu was the maid she and Pei Mo rescued from the fourth princess when they were young, and she has been by her side ever since. She has been loyal to her for so many years, and has endured a lot of hardships with her. Now If Qin Yue took her away, she would be tortured to death.How could she not stop it?

Qin Yue saw that Qin Ran came to her door so wisely to be bullied by her, a scornful smile rose from the corner of her lips, she raised her finger and pointed to Zuiqing Pool beside her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Take off your coat and jump into this Zuiqing Pool , this princess will spare the lives of you and your dog slave today!"

Qin Ran bit her lower lip tightly, and after a while, she finally lowered her head and slowly began to take off her outer shirt.

"Fifth princess, don't..." Jinqiu saw that Qin Ran had really started to take off his clothes, and couldn't help crying. He wanted to struggle forward, but his body was held tightly by two maids. Kneeling on the ground, unable to move at all.

The heavy sound of falling into the water sounded from the Zuiqing pool, Qin Ran fell into the water, his inner clothes were instantly soaked by the pool water, wrapped tightly around his body, and he was extremely embarrassed.

There was laughter all around.

Qin Yue looked at the pale Qin Ran in the water and sneered, "Just because you still want to fight with me, you don't want to weigh how much you weigh. This princess has had enough fun today, so I will let you go for now. Let me meet again next time, but I will not be so lucky! Bilan, we..."

Before the words could be uttered, Qin Yue saw Pei Mo standing not far in front of her, with calm eyes and a gloomy complexion.The body suddenly froze in place.
