Chapter 11: The Prairie

Yan Ran didn't have the strength to continue this topic, wiped away her tears, sighed and said, "Minglang, can we talk about these things later?" I am tired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info You also rest early. ”

Minglang stood in front of her and said softly, "Okay, you sleep, I'll watch you." ”

Yanran fell asleep with her face facing inward, sitting beside her brightly, looking at her back without blinking.

The sound of wind and rain outside stopped at some point. There was silence in the room, except for each other's breathing.

Qinglian Momei came in quietly, and when she saw them sleeping and sitting, she didn't know what to do for a while. Minglang waved at them and gestured to his room. Qinglian nodded, and took Momei to Mingliang's room to sleep.

Perhaps because she had shed too many tears, she listened to the sound of clear and long breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Yanran sat up and found Minglang curled up at her feet asleep, half of her long legs hanging on the edge of the bed. This position was very uncomfortable, and I don't know how he could fall asleep. She got out of bed and gently lifted his feet and moved them to the bed. Before he let go, he opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile on his face: "It's good to see you as soon as I open my eyes!" ”

Qinglian Momei had been waiting outside for a long time, and she brought hot water to the two of them to wash, when she heard Ahuda shouting outside. This morning, he heard that the county lord of Yanran was also here, so he was so happy that he ran to get out of bed.

He had always remembered Yanran's kindness to him, so he was just as excited and honored by her arrival.

When the three of them met, it was naturally another greeting. Yanran also knew from the conversation that Ashina had passed away, Ashida had succeeded as the patriarch, and Shi Xiaohan had been pregnant for more than seven months. Yanran immediately wanted to see Shi Xiaohan, but Ahuda said that Shi Xiaohan was still sleeping, so she had to wait until she woke up.

Ahuda wanted to arrange a grand welcome ceremony for Yanran, but Yanran resolutely refused, and Minglang also helped to excuse herself. Knowing the personalities of these two men, Akuda had no choice but to give up.

The three of them had breakfast together. Yanran tried to drink some grassland goat's milk, although the mouth was fishy, but it was extremely fragrant. I think that as long as I drink it a few times, I will not refuse it when I get used to it. After the meal, Ahuda and Dali took the two of them to the grassland for horseback riding. Yanran crouched on the horse's back, listening to the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, watching the mountains pass by, the white clouds rolled up, the grass was low, and she couldn't help but stir in her heart, and shouted: "Yo-heh-"

Looking at the heartfelt smile finally on her face, Minglang couldn't help but be furious, and the whistling sound of "yo-heh-" resounded in the sky.

After a long gallop, all four men laid down their reins, and the horses slowed their pace, munching on the grass as they walked leisurely. Yanran said with emotion: "No wonder most of the grassland people are enthusiastic and cheerful people, because they have a big world in their hearts!" ”

Dali said proudly: "Yes, county lord, or you will stay and be a grassland daughter-in-law!" ”

Yanran smiled: "Fight for it in the next life!" ”

The four of them dismounted and walked slowly, and Yanran asked, "Ahuda, why did your father go all of a sudden when he was in the prime of life?" ”

Ahuda sighed: "In May of this year, the group of villains in Waimangling attacked us, and my father led people to fight back, and in a hurry, he fell into the enemy's tricks, and even the people and horses fell into the pit, and the bones of the whole body were almost broken. We brought him back and died within a few days......" Ahhuda said sadly, "He died of pain, and we Khura do not have good doctors. If it had been you, maybe he wouldn't have died. ”

Because of their long-term wandering, the people of Outer Mangling have always had the desire to return to their homeland, and in the face of the shortage of living materials, the people of Inner Mangling are no longer willing to accept them. Therefore, there are often conflicts between the internal and external Kula people, and this year it seems that they are becoming more and more violent.

Yan Ran was very sad in her heart. Ashina is her father by blood, and she can't imagine that her father doesn't know her daughter for life, and her daughter doesn't see her father. She looked up and said to Ahuda, "Where is he buried?" I want to check it out. ”

Ahuda felt a little strange in his heart, but he still pointed ahead and said, "It's on the mountain over there, I'll take you there." ”

The four men were still on their horses. Minglang suddenly jumped on Yanran's horse and rode with her. On the way, he asked: "I have always wondered that you care about Ashida, and now you want to see Ashina's grave." Yanran, do you have a story with them? ”

Yan Ran handed him the reins and said to him sideways, "This is the secret of my background, and I have never told you. Me and Ahuda...... It's a half-brother and sister, and Ashina is actually my father. Unfortunately, we never saw each other in our lives. ”

Minglang suddenly: "You only told me that you and Xie Tairan were together with your brothers and sisters, so that's the case!" ”

Soon the four of them came to the hillside, where there were indeed more than a dozen graves, and the new grave at the front was Ashina's.

Yan Ran picked a handful of wild flowers around the hillside and put them in front of Ashina's grave, knelt down and silently kowtowed three times. Minglang also knelt down, kowtowed, and prayed silently in his heart: "Ashina, although I don't know you, thank you for giving the girl life." May you be happy in the spirit of heaven! ”

The pious actions of the two made Ahuda and Dali stunned, and Ahuda asked carefully, "Your Majesty, is it the custom of your side to kowtow to your friend's dead relatives when you go to your friend's house?" ”

Yanran stood up, smiled and said, "My mother is also from the grassland, and she is a very good friend of the Ashina patriarch, so I should come to worship." ”

Ahkuda was relieved.

On the way back, Yanran naturally asked about Ahuda's mother's situation, and Ahuda told him that his mother was from Tianqian and called Gumier. Now live with him.

Yan Ran was secretly stunned in her heart: Gu Mi'er, could it be a bone clansman?

It was already lunch time when they returned to their residence, and the pot-bellied Shi Xiaohan stood at the door to greet them. Yan Ran hurriedly helped her sit down and asked long questions. Shi Xiaohan's face was slightly plump, but it was full of a maternal light, which made her look more attractive than before. Yanran touched her belly with her hand and felt the magical fetal movement, which she had never experienced before.

She also met Ahuda's mother, Gu Xiaomi, a beautiful woman in her forties. After seeing her, Yan Ran knew why Ah Huda was the same age as herself, Gu Xiaomi's temperament was similar to that of her own mother, Ji Yaohuan, they were both beautiful and cowardly, and they were easy to arouse people's desire to protect. Gu Mi also liked Yanran very much, and took her hand and said a lot of words.

After the meal, she carefully checked Shi Xiaohan's pulse, Shi Xiaohan was in good health, and after she became pregnant, she was well taken care of by Ahuda, and her mother and son were very healthy. After calculating the time, it will probably be more than two months before production. So Yanran didn't allow Ah Huda to accompany them again, and asked him to take care of Shi Xiaohan and wait for the child to be born. Ahuda had no choice but to obey.

In the evening, Yanran resolutely refused Minglang's request for a night talk and closed her door very early. Minglang couldn't resist her, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he went to bed early.

Yanran had insomnia again. I tossed and turned in bed until midnight and still didn't feel sleepy, so I quietly got up in my clothes and pushed open the window. The night of the grassland is also amazingly beautiful, and the stars are very big and bright. Yan Ran simply jumped out of the window, jumped onto the roof platform, and sat silently facing southeast, until the rooster crowed.

Yuezhao country, Bitong Hall in the imperial city of Yongzhou.

Since Da Yanran left sadly, Tairan moved to Bitong Palace. But since then, he has lost sleep every night, and he has become thin into a handful of bones. Yuehu Yuehai couldn't, so he asked the doctor to prepare sleeping medicine, and let him drink the medicine and then sleep, although this method was good, but he had dependence since then, and he couldn't sleep without drinking medicine.

Counting the time, it has been two months since she left him. The bitter longing and heart-wrenching grief still **** tormented him, but he just gritted his teeth and survived. She feared that he would die, so he would live better than die. Moreover, even if she dies, she can't die with humiliation, with her sadness and contempt. So, he had to get through.

In the dead of night, when he couldn't sleep, he thought back again and again about that shameful night, what that woman might have done to him, but every time he remembered it, he would fall into a black hole. It is impossible for a person who is unconscious to know what is happening around him. However, after all, he is a martial arts practitioner, even if his body is unconscious, his internal strength is still there, and he maintains the most basic perception of his body, so he knows in his heart that nothing happened that night, and he has not released the sun at all. However, he can't be sure what the truth is, so he can't defend himself, and no one will believe him, including Yanran. If he denied it, she would only despise him even more.

Therefore, what supported him to survive without her was a ray of faith, that is, to prove his innocence.

But Guo Tinglan is not stupid and refuses to give him a chance.

After Yanran left sadly, she became the only woman by the emperor's side in the palace, and she regarded herself as her mother, not only to force him to be canonized every now and then, but also to force Guo Bohan to ask for canonization in the court. Guo Bohan's words are very euphemistic: since it has become a fact, then it should be canonized as soon as possible, even if you can't be the queen, the imperial concubine is okay.

Tai Ran told him unmistakably: "I will not have a queen and princess, I will only have a wife, and that is Princess Yanran." As for the matter of the county lord, it was an accident and he was not responsible. ”

Guo Bohan was choked and rolled his eyes. The temperament and character of the new emperor and the old emperor are completely different, the old emperor Xie Zhenhui is although he has been in power for a long time, but there is no lack of boldness and generosity, and the new emperor is fair and strict, no matter the rewards and punishments, he only talks about the law, not the feelings. It's really cold and spicy, which makes people tremble. The affairs of His Majesty and Princess Yanran are already known to all officials, and the affection between them has almost become a good story in the entire Yuezhao Kingdom. He himself felt that his daughter should not join in the fun, but she never listened to him. Recently, she swaggered around with her "one-night stand" with His Majesty, which has made him lose face, and now His Majesty's words have made him even more embarrassed and embarrassed in front of hundreds of officials. It has been common since ancient times for emperors to turn their faces and refuse to recognize people after playing with women, and if he is angry because of this, he will be ridiculed even more. Now that Concubine Jing'an is a monk, her handle is still in his hands, and she is not interesting as a marshal of soldiers and horses...... This life can be regarded as being buried in the hands of a woman, with Concubine Jing'an in front and Guo Tinglan in the back. (To be continued.) )
