8. The Three Princes Yun Zhen
"The Three Princes. ”
As soon as Dong Tian saw the person who was coming, he immediately gave him a polite salute without humility or arrogance.
"The Third Prince?!"
Gao Ran, who was slowly getting up, heard Dong Tianyi's call, and he unconsciously glanced at the little boy in front of him who was smiling, but the smile was not deep enough to reach the bottom of his eyes.
The boy wore a high ponytail and was dressed in dark blue armor (a kind of "practice uniform" in this world that is convenient for martial arts training, usually a wide jacket and pants made of burlap, but when worn, he will be tied with thin straps at the cuffs and trouser tubes, and a thick belt will be wrapped around the waist). When he got closer, Gao Ran also saw beads of sweat on his forehead - he must have just practiced martial arts before he came here, he had delicate facial features, but now it seemed that he was still a little baby fat......
"How ...... his eyes" No matter how Gao Ran looked at it, she always felt that the young man's eyes did not match his slightly childish appearance and his current age - looking at that look, she felt that he was like a cunning "fox......
Regarding the third prince in front of him, Yun Zhen, Gao Ran had actually heard a lot of rumors about him in the mansion long before he came to this academy......
It is said that this Yun Zhen is the emperor's favorite son! Moreover, it is likely to be the future crown prince!
The emperor had a total of four sons and one princess, and the eldest than Yun Zhen had two princes and a princess.
The princess didn't have to think about it, and the other two princes had already been married off by the emperor - both were used for marriage, and they were married to the princesses of two neighboring countries.
Today, the emperor has two sons left, and both of them are unmarried because they are still underage - but neither of them are married......
This makes it possible for both princes to ascend to the throne as crown princes when they reach adulthood!
However, compared with the fourth prince Yun Jie, who has no intention of imperial power since he was a child, only likes to be free between mountains and rivers, and sneaks out of the palace or academy at every turn, the third prince Yun Zhen, who has always been known for his gentleness and elegance, both civil and military, is more pleasing to the emperor.
Therefore, everyone speculated that this Yun Zhen was likely to be canonized as the crown prince when he became an adult, and on the third day after he ascended the crown prince, according to the custom, a banquet was held in the palace, and then one of the underage women from the first-class official family and the four major families present was selected as the crown princess.
Gao Ran remembered that after hearing these rumors, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart!
It's not that I care about this legendary "Three Princes Yunzhen" who is personable, extraordinary, and has practiced super martial arts, but that the rumored "The prince will hold a banquet on the third day after ascending the throne to select the crown princess"......
Calculate the age gap between the legendary "Three Princes Yun Zhen" and himself...... Coincidentally, he was just over five years apart!
In other words, if Yun Zhen really becomes the crown prince in the future, then when he becomes an adult at the age of twenty, she will only be fifteen years old in a month!
In this way, if Yun Zhen really becomes the prince, then she will be in danger!
Although Gao Ran is not so narcissistic as to think that this Yun Zhen will definitely choose himself...... However, as long as there was a possibility of "one in ten thousand" of "entering the wealth", she felt that it was very dangerous - not to mention, those women from first-class official families who were more than five years younger than Yun Zhen, and the women of the four major families (including herself), I am afraid she could count them on only five fingers!
All of a sudden, the risk factor is directly increasing by geometric multiples!
This "1 in 10,000 probability" and "1 in 5 probability"...... This -- the gap......
I remember that when I first thought of this, Gao Ran was extremely envious of her "legendary" eldest sister - Gao Qi for the first time.
Just because, Gao Qi is ten years older than her, and now she is an adult, and she has married a husband - Fu Wenhan, the eldest son of the Fu family, one of the four great families.
"'Marrying a husband' is also better than 'getting rich'!"
Although she doesn't want to choose either of these two Gao Ran! But if she must choose, adhering to the principle of "choosing the lesser of two evils", she will naturally be more willing to choose "marrying"!
If she wants to share a man with two other women in the future, she would rather accept that three men share her one woman - although, her truest thought is that she does not want to choose either of these things, and what she wants most is to live her life freely by herself!
And the reason why Gao Qi is "legendary" for Gao Ran......
is because, in the memory of the original owner of this body, the memories of her "eldest sister" are all very vague......
"Maybe it was because I was too young at the time......
Gao Ran's idea was later verified after she asked some of the more senior subordinates in the mansion - it was true!
Although Gao Ran and Gao Qi are both daughters of the Gao family, Gao Qi is the daughter of the main husband, and Gao Ran is the daughter of the concubine, the daughter of the side husband.
As a great family, the heir to the head of the Gao family has always only been selected among the descendants of the Gao family - that is to say, the current head of the Gao family is Gao Ran's mother Gao Lan, and only Gao Lan's only two daughters - Gao Qi and Gao Ran are eligible to compete for the position of the next head of the Gao family.
And Gao Qi is ten years older than Gao Ran......
This means that when Gao Ran was born, Gao Qi had also grown to an age where he knew what a "threat" was......
Perhaps it is precisely because of the desire for the position of the head of the Gao family that ten-year-old Gao Qi has been hostile to Gao Ran since she was born.
However, fortunately, her mental skills are not bad, so in the past five years, she has never used any yin tricks behind her back to harm Gao Ran - besides, with Gao Ran's frail and sickly body in the past, I am afraid that she will not need to worry about it and secretly harm her, and Gao Ran (the original owner of this body) may not be able to guarantee that she will suddenly return to heaven one day......
And that's exactly what happened...... If it weren't for Gao Ran's accidental crossing, this body would have been put into the coffin and then buried in the ground......
In the past five years, Gao Qi rarely took the initiative to approach her because of her hostility towards Gao Ran, and even if she met her in the mansion by chance, she would immediately turn around and leave!
It can be said that Gao Ran's only "eldest sister", Gao Qi, is very indifferent to her!
"Alas, it seems that when my 'eldest sister' comes back for the Chinese New Year, I will take the initiative to talk to her! At least I will clearly let her know that I have no intention of engaging in business, and I will never threaten her future position as the head of the family!"
After telling the people under Guò and connecting with some vague impressions about Gao Qi that still lingered in his mind, Gao Ran gradually deduced Gao Qi's general character. Then, she thought that maybe as long as she was no longer a "threat" to Gao Qi, then their relationship might be eased......
In her previous life, Gao Ran had never felt the warmth of family affection, but in this life, when she was touched by You Song for the first time to a soft corner of her heart, she began to faintly crave family affection......
Although she knew that the possibility of a big family being able to have real family affection was very small! But Gao Ran still wanted to give it a try-even if the final result might disappoint her, but no matter what, at least, she still had You Song!
And, at least she tried! So, whatever the outcome, she had no regrets!
But that's all for later, after all, it's still a few months before Gao Qi comes back!
And Gao Ran's idea is not feasible, so she will not know until she really puts it into practice......
Gao Ran shook his head vigorously and waved away the messy things that came to mind for a moment......
When she came back to her senses again and looked at Yun Zhen intently, she realized that he was only one step away from herself at this moment!
"What song did you just sing? It's so beautiful! I've never heard this tune, this lyrics, I've never heard ......."
"Ahem......" Gao Ran cleared his throat in embarrassment, and then simply lied cheekily to the end, "This song is called "Crescent Bay", I once heard it by chance when I went out on an outing, but I don't know who is singing...... I just know it's a woman......"
"Oh......" Yun Zhen is not as simple as Dong Tianyi, she will believe whatever she says, and his eyes are obviously full of doubt when he looks at Gao Ran. However, he had no intention of demolishing her.
Gao Ran naturally could see that Yun Zhen didn't believe what she said at all. It's just that since he didn't pierce her, she is naturally happy to continue to play stupid.
"Then, can the girl sing for me again?!"
Yun Zhen didn't care who wrote this song, he only knew that what he heard just now was sung by Gao Ran! Moreover, he liked Gao Ran's singing voice quite a lot, and just now, he obviously didn't enjoy listening to it, so he wanted Gao Ran to sing it again.
But Gao Ran was not very happy!
She frowned slightly, and then deliberately ignored Yun Zhen and walked straight in front of Dong Tianyi.
"I wonder if you can play the flute?" she asked him suddenly, inexplicably.
"Huh?!"
Dong Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Yun Zhen, who was still standing behind her at the moment, looking at her back with some displeasure, and frowned slightly almost invisibly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded at Gao Ran, and went straight to the bamboo house.
"Alas!" After Dong Tianyi left, Gao Ran sighed softly and said in his heart, "After all, people are princes, and it's not good to be too faceless......"
Although Gao Ran really didn't have a good impression of Yun Zhen, the third prince who suddenly appeared, and he didn't want to deal with him at all! But after thinking about it calmly, he still felt that he couldn't be too casual! He still had to take care of his face somehow -- lest he leave any "troubles" for himself in the future......
Although he was reluctant, Gao Ran still "naturally" squeezed out a faint smile, turned around, and said while walking towards Yun Zhen, "I don't want to sing now." However, I can play a song with 'Brother Tianyi'. It's still the tune of this song. If you want to hear it, I don't mind having you as an extra listener. ”
Gao Ran deliberately bit the four words "Brother Tianyi" very hard.
To be honest, if it weren't for her disgust with the Yun Zhen in front of her, she wouldn't have deliberately called Dong Tianyi, who had just met and had less than half a cup of tea, so affectionately-even though Dong Tianyi was now calling her "Ran'er" one by one......
Gao Ran didn't know why she would come up with such a method, she just intuitively felt that if she did this, Yun Zhen would definitely be unhappy!
And what she wants is his displeasure!
Anyway, she didn't have a good impression of him, and if she could make him hate herself a little more, then ten years later, if he really became the crown prince, then the possibility of her being chosen as the crown princess would naturally become very low because of his dislike for her—or even absolutely impossible!
If that's the case, it couldn't be better!
"Alas-" Thinking of this, Gao Ran unconsciously let out a long sigh in his heart.
Unexpectedly, even if I came to this other world...... This life is also not easy - thinking that she is only "five years old" now, she has already begun to plan for her life in ten years......
