"I was sleeping in a daze. I heard the palace maid whispering. I don't know who accidentally saw Li Huwei and Princess Bei coming to Jinyang Palace. The news spread to Jinhua Garden. I couldn't sleep, so I hurriedly
Came here." The queen explained her arrival. If Ximen Xianchu really wanted to track down, she should go track down the unintentional person.
"Haha, the queen also cares about her son and daughter-in-law, so she came to Jinyang Palace. There is no need to explain to me." Ximen Xianchu patted the queen's hand and said, "You happen to be here too, why not teach Princess Bei too?"
"We should talk about Princess Bei," the queen nodded, turned to Su Ranhua, and corrected her mother's posture, "Although the emperor did not punish you, if you hadn't given birth to a place that misunderstood the king of the south, how would the king of the south have dared to be reckless?
Why do you do such a thing? You must correct your behavior in the future. If you do something inappropriate again, the royal family will not tolerate you."
"My dear, please remember this," Su Ranhua said obediently.
The sound of "son" made the queen frown slightly, and she did not dare to express herself because of the emperor.
Su Ranhua secretly laughed, this pair of people is really interesting, one wants her to stick to the position of Princess Bei, and the other is trying every means to get rid of her. It seems that the struggle in the palace is everywhere.
"Okay, you go back and remember what I said." Ximen Xianchu waved his hand towards Su Ranhua.
Only Su Ranhua himself understood the warning and true meaning of these words.
"Yes, I will take my leave." Su Ranhua bowed politely, even though the displeasure on the queen's face could be seen directly in her eyes, and even though she did not care about this identity, she could only call herself this way in front of the emperor.
Ximen Xianchu did not ask anyone to send Su Ranhua out of the palace. It seemed that he had to take this road out of the palace on his own.
"Dye painting, dye painting!"
As soon as she walked out of Jinyang Palace, Su Ranhua was stopped by a crisp voice. She turned her head in confusion and saw a pretty girl in bright clothes running towards her.
"Wrong, I should call you Er Huangsao now." The girl ran to Su Ran's painting, stuck out her tongue, and changed her words, "Huangsao, long time no see, do you still remember Wan'er?"
"Are you... Wan'er?" Su Ranhua read the name and guessed the identity of the girl. She seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old. She called herself the emperor's sister-in-law. She must be some princess.
"Hmph!" Ximen Wan pouted displeasedly, "I heard from Brother Four Emperors that you can't even recognize us. I still don't believe it. Although we haven't seen each other for five years, I recognized you at a glance, but you didn't
You can’t even remember who I am!”
"I'm sorry, princess, five years flies by in a flash for some people, but for dyeing and painting, you have to go through countless things, so you can't remember some people and things." Su Ranhua explained for herself.
"That's right," Ximen Wan was not really angry, but sighed, "Although when I proposed marriage to the second emperor brother, the ministers all said that you were the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and came from an important position in the court, but I know that you are in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Your life is not easy, and you should have asked the Second Emperor Brother to take you to meet the royal clan, but you have no such thing at all. I think the Second Emperor Brother is still worried about being forced to marry by Mr. Su, so he did it
We have obviously become a family, but we haven’t met yet. It’s true that this second emperor brother obviously made his own mistakes first, but he is cold-tempered and unwilling to take responsibility!”
Listening to Ximen Wan's endless complaints, Su Ranhua just smiled slightly.
"Sister-in-law," Ximen Wan said, licking Tian's thirsty lips, "Since you can leave Jinyang Palace safely, everything should be fine. Let's sit down together."
As he said that, Ximen Wan took Su Ranhua's arm and pulled her towards the bluestone brick road on one side. "Princess, are you here specifically to see me?" Su Ranhua followed Ximen Wan while walking.
Asked. I unexpectedly met a princess outside Jinyang Palace, and she didn't believe it by coincidence.
"Why not?" Ximen Wan said with a big smile, "I heard someone said that you have arrived at Jinyang Palace, so I came here specially. Not to mention that you have become my royal sister-in-law, it is really not easy to see you once! Go up.
When you were locked up in the criminal room, I happened to accompany the Queen Mother to Wan'an Temple. I heard about you afterwards, which made me worried for a long time."
"Thank you for your concern, princess." Su Ranhua said.
"Sister-in-law, can you stop talking about a princess? It's better to call me Wan'er." Ximen Hao protested with an unhappy frown.
"Okay, Wan'er, where are you taking me?" Su Ranhua asked.
"Go to my Cuizhu Pavilion." Ximen Wan said, "I said five years ago that I would take you to my place to play. I didn't expect that after five years, I would be bored in the palace all day long and couldn't get out.
If you hadn’t become my royal sister-in-law, I don’t know how long it would take for us to meet again!”
Cuizhu Pavilion is just a small attic. Compared with other magnificent halls in the palace, it is very inferior.
"A bit small, isn't it?" Ximen Wan asked with a smile as he walked into Cuizhu Pavilion.
"It's enough to live in. It's a waste to have such a big house." Su Ranhua said nonchalantly. Compared with her Wutong Residence and the third lady's side courtyard, this is many times better. After all, a princess is a princess.
"Yes, without my mother and concubine, I really can't get used to living in those gardens alone." Ximen said late, a trace of depression flashed across his face.
"Wan'er, these chrysanthemums are growing really well!" Su Ranhua leaned against the window and saw a field of brilliant autumn chrysanthemums growing behind the attic, so he changed the subject.
"It's beautiful. I grew it all myself." Ximen Wan looked proud, "You sit down first, I'll come as soon as I can!"
With that said, Ximen Wan couldn't help but happily ran out of the house.
After a while, I heard Ximen Wan's crisp voice, "Brother Four Emperors, why do you look so wilted? Wan'er begged Concubine Yao for a long time before she allowed you to come to my place."
Brother Yonko?
Su Ranhua inside the house was shocked when he heard Ximen Wan call out this title. He glanced at the window coldly and was just thinking about whether he should jump out through the window when the door of the house was pushed open.
Ximenwan pulled Ximenzhe into the house.
When Ximenzhe's eyes touched Su Ran's paintings, he was stunned.
Ximen Wan looked at the two of them with a proud look on his face, "You see, this is what I made possible, the moment when the three of us met again after five years. The emperor's sister-in-law, the fourth emperor's brother, are you surprised?"
"Ran...sister-in-law of the emperor." Ximenzhe stared at Su Ran's paintings intently, as if she had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"King Xi." Su Ranhua turned back from the window and nodded slightly.
"Come, come, the three of us will have a good time in Cuizhu Pavilion today." Ximen Wan dragged Ximen Zhe to the table, "I have asked Xiaoyun to prepare snacks and fruits. Let's chat while we eat."
With that said, Ximenwan went to Lasu to dye his paintings again.
"Wan'er, let's talk next time. It's time for me to go back to the palace." Su Ranhua had no intention of staying. She overheard the conversation between Ximen Yi and her son. She knew that she and Ximen Zhe were sensitive people at this time.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of the rumors in the palace?" Ximen Wan Buyi suddenly flashed his big watery eyes and looked at the two of them and said, "You and the fourth emperor brother know each other first, please say a few more words.
What are the words? Although the rumors are terrible, there is still me. Can't I stop those people's mouths? I just want to sit together. Five years ago, we flew a kite together on the hill behind Wan'an Temple.
This situation is the happiest thing I have ever done, and you are also the only friend I know outside the palace."
"Can't you stay?" Ximenzhe looked at Su Ranhua and asked softly.
Although the words were indifferent and tried hard to hide, they contained a heavy plea. He just wanted to sit face to face for a while.
