In the dream, she returned to the time when she went to Chen Kingdom with her father when she was young.
At that time, Chen State and Jiang State needed to discuss the border issues between the two countries. Jiang Huan had never been out of Jiang State and was very curious about what the outside world was like.
Especially what the brightly lit Chen country in the third brother's mouth looks like.
King Jiang couldn't resist Jiang Huan's coquettishness, so he had to take her with him and live in the East Palace together.
Jiang Huan is just a child after all, so how can he obey King Jiang's instructions to "stop walking around"?
She took advantage of King Jiang to meet King Chen and sneaked into the courtyard of the main hall of the East Palace.
At that time, Jiang Huan didn't know yet who exactly lived in the place where he came. He only saw simple and elegant furnishings everywhere, which were completely different from those magnificent and luxurious palaces.
Jiang Huan thought that the person living in the East Palace should be a gentle and virtuous concubine.
The kind of woman who emerges from the mud unsullied and is exceptionally beautiful.
While Jiang Huan was thinking about it, he was attracted by the kitten above his head. The kitten looked like it had just been weaned and was meowing non-stop, unable to jump down from the branch.
Jiang Huan didn't care so much, so he climbed up the branch with a few clicks, holding the little milk cat in his arms but didn't know how to get off the tree.
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid of nature. When Jiang Huan saw that there was no sign of a palace servant nearby, he actually began to feel desperate about whether he would die on this branch today.
But at this moment, the young man passed by under the tree.
He looked up at Jiang Huan, seemingly confused.
The little girl looked like she was about to cry. She lay on the branch and didn't dare to move, as if she was afraid that if she moved even a little bit, the branch would break.
She wanted to ask the boy for help, but her words were filled with sobs, "I didn't mean to..."
When the young man heard this, he just grinned and showed his snow-white teeth. Jiang Huan was stunned for a moment.
"Jump down and I'll catch you."
...
"Jiang Huan, jump down." Chen Ruyi opened his arms widely, and Jiang Huan, who was lying on the roof, jumped directly into his arms without any hesitation.
Chen Ruyi caught Jiang Huan's thin body almost effortlessly. He coaxed helplessly but dotingly, "You still don't listen to me."
Although Chen Ruyi's words were reproachful, her tone was full of doting, as if she was lifeless.
The palace people on the side saw the fifth princess finally getting off the roof obediently, and they also smiled and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince's words are still useful. The fifth princess of the Jiang Kingdom doesn't like to listen to us, but she only listens to the words of His Highness the Crown Prince.
of."
Jiang Huan pouted, hugged Chen Ruyi's waist, and shrank behind him like a small animal, as if the entire Jiang Kingdom except Chen Ruyi were bad guys.
Chen Ruyi looked like he had nothing to do with her, so he could only reach out and rub her head, and said softly, "She, if she listens to others, I would be less worried."
...
When Jiang Huan woke up from her dream, she was already lying on a soft bed.
The double-aperture window of fine pear wood has pink tassels hanging from it, spreading down, very much like the bed Jiang Huan slept on when he was young and lived in the East Palace.
The surrounding furnishings were almost the same as those in her memory. For a moment, Jiang Huan didn't know whether she had returned to the palace where she lived when she was a child, or whether Chen Ruyi had left all her belongings intact.
Copied it.
Jiang Huan rubbed her temples. Her head was aching due to being drunk.
The memories of the past life were intertwined with each other, and Jiang Huan was so confused that she didn't know what day it was today.
"Princess, you're awake." Mengyu came with water for washing.
She had never changed into the clothes worn by the people of the Chen Kingdom. She was still wearing the short clothes and skirt she wore in the Jiang Kingdom. Her slightly solemn face became much softer when she saw Jiang Huan.
Mengyu wiped Jiang Huan's neck with familiarity, and then brought a cup of freshly brewed sobering tea.
"The prince prepared this for the princess. He said that the princess doesn't like bitter tea, so he specially prepared sweet tea."
Jiang Huan reached out to take the cup of tea, took a sip, and his originally fuzzy consciousness became a little clearer.
She rubbed her temples, but she didn't care to think deeply about the so-called personal relationship between her children.
He was drunk and had already left Jiang Guo when he woke up, which meant that his time had been reduced again.
She didn't have enough time to fall in love here. The construction of the White Jade Tower was about to begin. If she wanted to prevent the completion of the White Jade Tower, she could only let some major events happen in Chen State that needed manpower.
For example, a wedding between two countries.
As the future crown princess, Jiang Huan came to Chen State on behalf of Jiang State. No matter what, the Chen State royal family would definitely organize this marriage in a grand manner, just in time to celebrate Chen Ruyi's wedding.
At this time, Baiyu Tower should be shelved.
"Where is Chen Ruyi?" Jiang Huan asked.
Mengyu thought for a moment and then remembered another thing that Chen Ruyi had told her today, "The prince said that it was time to meet the queen at Fengluan Hall. The prince told him that if the princess wakes up, he should go to Fengluan Hall to find her."
"
"Fengluan Hall?" Jiang Huan was a little stunned and couldn't help but raise his voice a little.
Jiang Huan's memory of Fengluan Hall was also a little blurry.
In the previous life, Chen Ruyi's biological mother, the Queen, died half a month before the fall of the Jiang Kingdom.
It was said that he died suddenly due to illness, but this sudden death was really difficult to calm everyone's doubts.
A well-behaved empress, who was always gentle to others, never quarreled with others, and never made grudges with others, yet she just left without any reason.
Jiang Huan, who was in the Jiang Kingdom at the time, was also extremely emotional.
When he lived in the East Palace, the queen took care of him a lot and treated him as a daughter.
Jiang Huan paused, then turned over and climbed up, "Get dressed and go to Fengluan Hall."
-Fengluan Hall
Fengluan Hall is a bit lively today.
Fengluan Hall has always been visited by few people. Unless there is something important, most of the concubines in the harem love to go to Concubine Ru's palace to eat melon seeds and gossip.
Even the little things that caused some dissatisfaction were reported to Concubine Ru and let Concubine Ru deal with them.
But today, many concubines from the harem came to Fengluan Hall on the pretext of paying homage to the queen, and they sat down one by one with no intention of leaving.
Their eyes were looking outside the hall from time to time, as if they were looking forward to Jiang Huan's future.
"The last time I saw that girl, she was a little girl without all her teeth. I wonder what she has become after so many years?" Concubine Ru looked at Chen Ruyi with a smile on her face while holding tea.
Chen Ruyi was no longer as gentle as she was in front of Jiang Huan. Now she only had a distant smile. Just looking at her, she felt that this smile was scary and tight.
