Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang stayed in the restaurant for a while and then left.
The two of them, followed by Zheng Siqi, walked slowly through the streets and alleys. When they returned to the bustling downtown, Xi Honglei suddenly felt uncomfortable for a moment.
"Honglei, who is that person?" Ran Yunshang suddenly slowed down, pushed Xi Honglei beside him with his elbow, then pointed to a woman not far away and said, "I have been staring at you since just now.
.”
Xi Honglei looked in the direction of Ran Yunshang's finger, and shook her head in confusion. She had never seen this woman, but... the hatred in this woman's eyes was obvious. Could it be that she inadvertently provoked her again?
Who arrived?
Zheng Siqi, who had been following Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang, his eyes flashed when he saw the woman in front of him, but he did not speak out.
The three of them walked forward slowly, and it wasn't until they passed by the woman that Xi Honglei's tense body relaxed slightly.
Xi Honglei raised the corner of her mouth mockingly, recalling the cold look that the woman had just glanced at him, and felt a little funny.
Under the escort of Zheng Siqi, Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang returned to the palace safely. Sitting in the courtyard, Xi Honglei chatted with Ran Yunshang while looking down at his injured hand.
After taking the medicine, the wound healed significantly faster than before. Xi Honglei also found some free time to study the ingredients in the medicine, and found something that made her happy.
"Honglei, I will be returning to the palace in two days. Are you really not going to enter the palace with me?"
Ran Yunshang's words interrupted Xi Honglei's contemplation. He raised his head and met Ran Yunshang's eyes. Xi Honglei shook his head and said: "Forget it. The life in the palace is not suitable for me. If the princess is bored, I can go in
I will go to the palace to stay with you for a few hours before leaving. But I will feel uncomfortable if I live there."
"But even if you are here, we can't guarantee your safety! What if that cold owl comes to trouble you again?"
"What is supposed to come will eventually come. If he really wants my life, no matter where I flee, it will not help." Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang's anxious expression and began to feel a little relieved. It is precisely because of this.
, Xi Honglei didn’t want to drag an irrelevant person like Ran Yunshang into this big hole again.
Listening to Ran Yunshang's sincere words to herself that were completely inconsistent with her, Xi Honglei watched Ran Yunshang go back to her room and sat alone in the yard, continuing to be in a daze. If Xi Hongli hadn't appeared, Xi Honglei felt that she should have
He would sit there until dark before getting up.
"Why did my sister think of coming to see Honglei? Is there something important?" Xi Honglei looked at Xi Hongli in front of him with deep eyes, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. This Xi Hongli was serving the queen well in the palace.
, suddenly ran out of the palace, instead of returning to Xi Mansion, he came to the Prince of Chu Mansion to look for him. What was the reason for?
"It's nothing important, but I haven't seen my sister for a while, so I just wanted to come and see you." Xi Hongli had a slight smile on his face, looking at Xi Honglei intently.
Hong Li sighed deeply and said, "Dad must be very happy when your illness is cured. I thought you used to make trouble outside and chase the prince every day. I didn't expect that today, you would live in the prince's mansion."
"
"There is a reason why I moved here. After the matter is settled, Honglei will go back to Xi Mansion." Xi Honglei followed Xi Hongli's words and at the same time looked at Xi Hong without any trace.
Beautifully dressed.
Compared with Xi Hongbo and Xi Hongmiao, Xi Hongli's appearance is obviously better. It's no wonder that the queen chose Xi Hongli and brought her into the palace to be her personal maid. But for some reason, Xi Honglei always
I feel that Xi Hongli is a bit hypocritical. Maybe it’s because Xi Hongli once was in a high position and had to use hypocritical smiles to cater to those who hate him, so I feel like this. But this also shows that this Xi Hongli
Hongli definitely came to see her not just because she wanted to connect with the sisters.
Sure enough, as Xi Honglei expected, Xi Hongli finally changed the topic after chatting with her for more than half an hour.
"Honglei, have you ever heard from dad that the queen wants to marry you to Prince Chu?"
"The Queen granted marriage?" Xi Honglei frowned in confusion, "Didn't that happen a long time ago?"
"Of course I'm not talking about that, but recently. I heard the queen said that she wants you to marry Prince Chu. You know, if you can really marry into Prince Chu's palace, it will be a great thing for our Xifu.
.I didn’t dare to tell my father about this. I was afraid that if I told him, it would make him happy in vain. So I came to you first and asked you if you know about this."
Shu Rumei plans to get herself married to Ran Yunpo again?!
Xi Honglei couldn't help but froze when he heard Xi Hongli's words. He shook his head with a stiff expression, Xi Honglei smiled awkwardly and said, "The queen probably just said it casually. The prince doesn't like me, and I don't want to marry either."
At this point, sister, just pretend that you have never heard of this matter. If others find out, I don’t know how it will spread."
"Really..." Xi Hongli smiled slightly, nodded, and agreed to Xi Honglei's request. After talking to Xi Honglei for a while, Xi Hongli stood up and said goodbye to Xi Honglei. "Queen, then
There are still things waiting for me to do. The next time I see my sister, I will probably be at home. When you are alone outside, take care of yourself. Do you understand? "
"Don't worry, sister, Honglei knows." Xi Honglei responded politely to Xi Hongli's words. After sending Xi Hongli away, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She read it right. When Xi Hongli heard her say that Ran Yunpo didn't like her and she didn't want to marry Ran Yunpo, Xi Hongli did smile. Although the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and it happened instantly.
Passed away. But I still saw Xi Honglei.
That was not a perfunctory smile, nor was it a fake and stiff smile. It was a smile that came from the heart and was extremely relaxed.
Xi Honglei stood in the yard, leaning against the wall, raising her head, squinting her eyes slightly and looking at the sun in the sky. Her keen intuition told her that Xi Hongli should like Ran Yunpo. But after knowing this, she
Xi Honglei became even more confused.
Whether it is Xi Hongli, Ran Yunshang, or Li Yingluo. Even the water-soluble smoke is the same. Everyone is working hard for the people and things they like. But... what about yourself?
As early as a long, long time ago, Xi Honglei grew up alone after her parents were killed. Later, she fought in the rain of bullets all day long. She has long been accustomed to facing everything alone and strong, and rarely thinks about what love is. But now.
After coming to this strange world, Xi Honglei changed her identity and appearance. Everything in the past was gone, which made her feel a sense of inexplicable joy while being unfamiliar.
She was reborn and could start over. Although there was Lin Wanru, a woman who needed her protection, and a group of bullying enemies in Xi Mansion, Xi Honglei was not really frightened by the existence of these people.
Hong Lei once again felt forced and despaired by Leng Xiao.
He appeared out of nowhere and took away her freedom arrogantly. Xi Honglei had no idea that after meeting someone like Leng Xiao and what happened to him, she would have any chance with other men.
She doesn't have to love, it's just a man, Xi Honglei has always felt that he is dispensable. However, what Xi Honglei really cares about is when will she be able to break away from Leng Xiao's control? When will she be able to live the life she likes?
Life?
"Third brother." Ran Yunhao stood next to Ran Yunpo, silently looking at Xi Honglei over there. After a long time, he spoke softly to Ran Yunpo next to him and asked: "Why don't you like her?"
"Huh?" Ran Yunpo didn't react for a while. Slowly looking away from Xi Honglei, Ran Yunpo frowned at Ran Yunhao and asked, "What?"
"It's nothing." Ran Yunhao smiled and shrugged, "I just think this Xihonglei is a bit special and should be your type. At least I think she is more suitable for you than Miss Shui."
Ran Yunpo looked at Ran Yunhao's smiling face. He knew very well how smart his brother was and how he didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Ran Yunhao would never mention Shui Rongyan's name to him easily, but this time, he dared to do so
Boldly compare water-soluble cigarettes with this breath red tear.
"Sometimes, it's good to change the taste. Maybe you will find something more interesting than before." Ran Yunhao patted Ran Yunpo's shoulder, left a word, and turned around to leave, leaving Ran Yunpo standing there alone in a daze.
Want a change of flavor...?
Ran Yunpo murmured to himself and repeated Ran Yunhao's words, remembering what Shu Rumei said to him in the palace.
If he wants to get the throne, and Xi Honglei is indispensable, then why doesn't he keep Xi Honglei by his side now and make unlimited use of it? Although he doesn't understand the real meaning of Shu Rumei's words,
But what Ran Yunpo can be sure of is that his mother will never harm him.
Ran Yunpo has seen Xi Honglei's intelligence with his own eyes. It is almost time to establish the crown prince, and he must consolidate his position in the court. Xi Yuanshan is the richest man in the capital, and he is related to the prime minister of the court. If
Being able to get in touch with the Xi family is naturally a good choice. But Xi Honglei is the most unpopular young lady in the Xi family. Even if she gets married, she won't have much influence. What should he do to change?
