Chapter 149: Yan Ran Sees Che and Qian in the Royal Garden
This was Yanran's first time meeting the queen. She wondered incomprehensibly that when the two met for the first time, there was nothing special at all. Why did she see herself like this? What was the reason for that unfriendly factor?
While he was analyzing alone, he heard the queen speak. Her tone was definitely not as gentle as those of the concubines just now, but revealed a majesty that cannot be underestimated: "The person sitting with the third prince is Princess Che, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin?"
Yanran thought to herself, Tsk, aren't you asking questions knowingly? The person sitting with Murong Che is not Princess Che, could it be Princess Feng or Princess Mo?
But she just thought about it. Now she was in the Mosu Kingdom, and she was the queen who was above her. She was not allowed to make mistakes, so she stood up respectfully: "That's right, Yanran pays her respects to the queen. The queen is a thousand years old."
"Get back on your feet." The slightly arrogant tone made Yan Ran even more uncomfortable. As soon as she sat down, she held his hands with both hands, as if to convey some warmth to him. Looking at Murong Che's eyes, she felt a lot more at ease.
The banquet was full of singing and dancing, and it was very lively. The emperor also asked a concubine with excellent dancing skills to dance for everyone, and the prince Wei Qianer played the piano.
Yanran finally saw what it means to be a real lady. Maybe the original Lin Yanran could be called one, but she was definitely not. The elegant sound of the piano and the graceful dancing posture made her a little stunned and obsessed with listening.
Occasionally, when I turned around and saw Murong Che closing his eyes slightly, not watching the dance, but seemingly intoxicated by the melodious sound of the piano, Yan Ran suddenly felt sour in her heart. She suppressed herself and put her mouth to Murong Che's ear.
Bian asked: "Does it sound good?"
Murong Che, who was immersed in the music, heard the whisper in his ear, and his face suddenly turned red. He looked at Yan Ran and said awkwardly: "It's... not bad. However, I still want to hear Ran'er playing the piano."
"Duplicity." Lin Yanran muttered softly, and the sour taste in her heart became even stronger.
Murong Che wanted to say something to comfort her, but after looking at so many people, he finally didn't say anything and just said: "Ran'er, don't worry too much."
"I won't worry too much." Lin Yanran curled her lips, and she wouldn't admit that she was jealous even to death.
After being reserved at the banquet for such a long time, Yanran felt really bored, always sitting with a shelf in hand, which made her feel uncomfortable. She saw that people were watching the song and dance, but no one paid attention to her, so she excused herself and walked out to get some air.
The palace was bigger than she imagined, and there were many similar palaces. Fortunately, she had received professional training and her orientation was very accurate. After walking around for a while, Yanran was about to go back when she suddenly found the minister who was responsible for receiving birthday gifts.
He was taking some guards to a palace courtyard, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a treasure pavilion.
Yanran's heart was startled. If she guessed correctly, the amber jade pendant should be placed inside. Her hands were sweating a little, and she felt complicated and unbearable. She wanted to follow up and have a look, but she was also a little frustrated. If it was really there,
What should she do? Is she willing to abandon Che and leave? If she doesn't leave, what will happen to Yin'er and that Lin Yanran? Although Yin'er still has Manni and Manni's parents to take care of her, such a young child has to pretend in her heart every day
How could her young mind be able to bear so much grief as a motionless vegetative person lying on the hospital bed? She had already tasted the pain of losing her parents, and it was easy for her to think that she had a new mother, but she could only watch her lying there.
On the bed.
What is Yin'er doing now? Is her little hand touching Yanran's hand again and saying: "Mom Yanran, wake up."
This scene that often appeared in her dreams made her cry silently again.
"Ran'er." Yanran was crying secretly when she heard a very familiar voice. She quickly wiped away her tears secretly and then turned around. "Seeing that you didn't go back for so long, I was afraid that you would get lost, so I came out to take a look.
"
"How is that possible? I have received a professional..." She almost said the wrong thing again. Yanran quickly covered it up and smiled lightly at Murong Che: "I just wanted to come out for some air. Okay, let's go back." Yanran turned around.
He looked sadly at the Treasure Pavilion before leaving with Murong Che.
Until the banquet ended, she was thinking about the Treasure Pavilion. Whenever she forced herself to make up her mind to leave, her heart softened once again when she looked at Murong Che sitting next to her.
"Ran'er, you must not worry too much. You are the only one in my heart now."
In the carriage, Lin Yanran lay softly in Murong Che's arms and remained silent. Sometimes she would sigh softly or look at Murong Che silently. Murong Che thought she was thinking about Wei Qian'er and quickly clarified it.
"I'm not overly concerned, Che. I'm going to the palace to play chess with my father tomorrow. Haha, I wonder if there's anything to bet on this time?"
Yanran concealed it.
"Last time, my father gave up his precious chess piece. This time, be careful that he wants to win it back." Seeing Yan Ran smile, Murong Che felt relieved: "I'm joking, but my father is telling the truth. However,
With the lesson learned last time, he won't fall into your trap again."
"I was just talking for fun." She thought to herself, it seemed that she couldn't win back the amber jade pendant.
After lunch the next day, Yan Ran and Murong Che went to the palace. The emperor looked very good and the joy from yesterday had not dissipated. Yan Ran came over to play a few games of chess with the emperor. Murong Che was not good at chess, so he left early to go.
Look at De Fei.
The two masters were fully prepared to play chess, but in the end it was a draw. Murong Fengyun was happy and rewarded many good things. The only regret was that there was no amber jade pendant. Yanran wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, in case
To alert the snake.
As soon as they finished playing chess, Murong Zheng came over. Yanran knew what was going on and walked away. She originally wanted to wait here, but Murong Che didn't come. I guess it was because she was so happy talking with her mother and concubine that Yanran forgot to take her medicine early in the morning.
, I feel dizzy and a little sleepy, I want to go to the Concubine De’s Palace to see Concubine De, and then we both leave the palace.
There is a shortcut to the Imperial Concubine's Palace via the Royal Garden, and Yanran plans to take this road to enjoy the scenery.
After making up her mind, she steeled herself and looked around. She had only heard from Murong Che, but she still didn't know exactly how to get there. The palace was so big and she had low energy, so it was really difficult for her.
I have trouble finding the way by myself, so I plan to find a palace maid or eunuch who can lead the way.
More than ten minutes passed, and there was still no one passing by. Yanran rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and decided to try to walk forward on her own.
Just after walking a few steps, she heard someone speaking in front of her, with a low tone, and she couldn't hear what they were saying. Yanran walked a few steps quickly, thinking of looking for her so that she could be taken to the Imperial Concubine's Palace. Unexpectedly, she still heard someone speaking.
Before they got close, two people came into view, by the crystal clear lake: the beauty was wearing a pink silk dress, with a delicate hairpin simply inserted into her neat bun, and her delicate face was slim and charming.
Her figure made people think that she was Wei Qian'er. When she looked at the man not far away from her, Yanran's heart seemed to be stung by something. The light blue brocade dress was exactly what she was wearing this morning.
He took it out and put it on. His thin and tall figure exuded perseverance. Although it was just a back view, she still recognized him at a glance.
Murong Che, Wei Qian'er, what are they doing?
Yanran took a few steps forward in confusion. When she was about to go further and listen, she found that Murong Che smiled slightly at Wei Qian'er and turned around to leave. Yanran wanted to call him out, but she suppressed it. She didn't know what was wrong with her heart.
As if she was under control, she stood blankly among the flowers and trees, her eyes drooped, the flowers and leaves falling all over the garden made her heart feel even more depressed. She thought of the scene when the two met at the banquet yesterday, and thought of
When Wei Qian'er played the piano, Murong Che looked intoxicated...
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She might as well ask for an explanation. Deep down in her heart, she always didn't believe that Murong Che would do anything sorry to her. As for Wei Qian'er, she also thought he was a kind and womanly person. Maybe they
It was just a casual chat. Yanran comforted herself in her heart. Just when she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a stern voice. The voice seemed familiar to her. Yanran followed the sound and found that it was the queen she had met at the banquet. Her
His voice was sharp and mean, and he stared at Wei Qian'er with a sullen look on his face and said: "A noble princess has no shame and meets an old lover here secretly."
Yanran was shocked, she squatted down and looked over there through the sparse flowers and trees. Wei Qianer's thin body stood by the lake, with tears in her eyes, she reluctantly explained: "Please understand, Qian'er is just
I'm waiting for the prince here, and the third prince happened to be passing by to pick up the third princess back to the house, so the two of them chatted for a while."
Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. She believed what Mu Wei Qian'er said. It seemed that her worry just now was really unnecessary. She secretly laughed at herself for being petty. But the queen still refused to give up: "You mean I am talking nonsense?"
"Qian'er dare not." Wei Qian'er lowered her eyes and did not dare to raise them. Although she complained in her heart that the queen had always been too mean to her, after all, she was the queen and her mother-in-law. At this time, she could only endure it.
Seeing Wei Qian'er's appearance, the queen not only felt no pity, but felt even more disgusted. Her tone was several times louder and she said:
"Wei Qian'er, don't dare to do such shameless things just because the prince loves you so much."
"Mother, Qian'er really doesn't have one. I heard Qian'er say..."
"What is there to say, Wei Qian'er, I have tolerated you for a long time. Because of you, the prince has refused to accept his concubine. Don't think I don't know. The reason why you have no heirs is because you still can't forget it in your heart.
"He..." The queen's face was full of anger, and she suddenly slapped Wei Qianer's face with five "devil's paw prints".
Yan Ran couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to say something several times, but this is not modern times. Even if she came out, whether she could help or not, she might even anger the queen even more. Looking at Wei Qian'er's pitiful look
, her sense of justice came up again. It would be great if Murong Zheng was here. Do you want to go back to find him? He is currently discussing state affairs with the emperor?
