Chapter Twenty-Eight: First Meeting
The pavilion is still the same, the crescent moon is still the same, but the feelings have long been different. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Yanran knows that Minglang is no longer the pure and bright Minglang of a year ago, and she is no longer the young and easily impressed woman she was a year ago. Between them, there is so much more than time.
Yan Ran sighed and broke the silence first: "Minglang, I came this time, except for going to the appointment, there are other things." ”
Minglang nodded: "I know." I invaded and occupied the two county towns of Tama and Longyu in Tianqian Kingdom. He said simply, but there was a lot of turmoil in it, how could he cover it in this sentence?
Yan Ranna suddenly turned her head to stare at him: "You are not an ambitious person, why do you want to do this?" ”
Minglang stood up, looked at the distant starry sky with his hands in his hands, and said for a while: "I once told you on the grassland that I am afraid of losing you!" You can dismiss my affection, but you shouldn't ignore my determination. Girl, everything is for you! ”
Yan Ran's face instantly turned pale as paper: "You are talking nonsense!" No, no! She never imagined that the thousands of displaced people in the Tianqian Country, those innocent creatures who died in the war, this account would finally be counted on her head!
Minglang looked into the distance motionless as usual, his back like a black sculpture: "After returning from the grassland, I thought about it day and night, and my heart was always uneven. Not only can't I accept your refusal to come back with me, but I also can't accept the estrangement that is forming between you and me. Although what you said makes sense, you are thinking of me from the perspective of ordinary people, and I, Xuanyuan Lang, am not an ordinary person, I am a dead person, and you pulled me out of hell. So, I can't accept those reasons! ”
"This year, there was also a lot of movement in the court, some ministers bullied me young, corrupted the law behind my back, bullied men and women, thinking that I didn't know, or there was no way to know. The young generals in the army have not achieved an inch, and they are also a little ready to move. The four concubines in the harem were jealous, and Li Xinwan was designed by Lan Xin'er to have a miscarriage. Lu Wan'er stares at me all day long, and whoever I pamper will be regarded as an enemy. Although Rong Yue was virtuous, she didn't dare to come near me for fear of being envied by the other three. He smiled miserably: "What they love is not Minglang, but Emperor Xuanyuan Lang, and what they love is his supreme status and glory." ”
"This kind of seed finally made me understand that the purest paradise in the world is only in the Red Leaf Peak, and the purest and cleanest woman is you. Three thousand weak waters, the one that slipped through my hand was what I really wanted. ”
"So, in order to capture you, and at the same time to vent the anger in my heart and prove my Xuanyuan Lang's ability, I launched an invasion of Tianqian. I know that as soon as I move, Xie Tairan will definitely make a move, and you who are worried about the world will definitely come to me, and you will not let the agreement come to naught. It's just that I didn't expect Ahuda to become the emperor of Tianqian. This time it made him embarrassed! ”
Yan Ran held her forehead, and the great pain made her body sway. For a moment, she thought of those red-faced women in history, could it be that she finally couldn't escape her fate and became a disaster involuntarily?
Minglang walked up to her and squatted down, holding her shoulders with both hands: "The truth may make you sad, but you should understand my heart for you." Girl, you're back, and I want nothing more! ”
Yanran pushed his hand away: "You let me inadvertently commit so many sins, how many people have been displaced and died?" Have you forgotten your mother's words before she died? Minglang, you really scared me! ”
"Heaven and earth testify, all sins are borne by me Xuanyuan Lang alone!"
Yan Ran calmed down, and said coldly and clearly: "Minglang, the Three Kingdoms War is about to break out, and no one can bear that kind of consequence!" Since you said that everything is for me, then I beg you, withdraw your troops! ”
"I have already ordered the withdrawal of troops, and since you have returned, there is no need for me to waste money and money. You can rest assured! Her expression made him nervous, he had never seen her so hard and cold, she was always soft and clear, like the water of a snowy lake.
She breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes. When he withdrew his troops, he did not need to wave his troops north, and Guda could also focus on sorting out the government. When the situation eases down, the people of the three countries can regain peace.
The two were silent for a long time. Yan Ran said softly: "I heard that Rong Yue gave birth to a son for you. Congratulations! ”
Minglang stood in front of her: "Yes." I will have another child this year, and Lu Wan'er is also three months pregnant. ”
"Tomorrow I want to see her and the child."
"You are half the master in this palace, you are as free as you like."
Yanran sighed: "You go and rest, I want to be quiet." ”
Minglang sat down on the stool beside her: "No, I'm here to accompany you, and I won't disturb you." ”
Yan Ran sat on a chair in the pavilion with her knees crossed, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky from afar, and fell into a long contemplation. She recalled all the two years of her life after she walked out of Jingu Mountain and came to Red Leaf Peak, and those painful or happy pasts, or sweet or sad pasts, made her sink again, mixed with joy and sorrow. But in such memories, I saw myself more clearly and understood my destiny.
Minglang silently looked at her back, and accompanied her until the deep change.
The wind and rain on the ridge in the distance looked at the two clay sculpture-like figures, scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry. Will they pick it up again?
Feng said, "In my opinion, there is no need to wait, don't tell the Lord about the two of them staying in the pavilion." ”
Rain said, "No, the Lord has taken care of him again and again, and I want to tell him everything the princess says and does." I can't deceive you. ”
The wind hated the iron and said, "You use your brain! If the Lord knew that the emperor here hugged the princess and sat with her until the deep watch, would he vomit blood? Will there be a recurrence of the old disease? Will you leave everything behind and come here to take the princess? We have something to hide, is it for the good of the Lord, do you understand whether to report good news or bad news? ”
Rain scratched his hair: "Then don't write?" Only write about what the princess does, and don't write anything like hugging or hugging? ”
"That's how it should be!"
Yu he sighed, "Do you say that the princess likes our emperor a little more or does she like this emperor a little more?" ”
Feng couldn't help but curse again: "You pig head!" We've been with the princess for so long, is she a watery poplar? Although the emperor here likes her, the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, and the princess will not live up to the lord! ”
That night, the rain sent to Tairan on the paper with many words (numbers omitted here).
The next day, she came to Concubine Rongyue's room.
Rong Yue looks similar to Rong Rong, both of them are calm and calm, and now that she is a mother, she has more of a woman's softness. After greeting Yanran, the two sat down. Rongyue's maid took out the baby who was only more than a month old. Yan Ran hugged it carefully, and saw that the baby in the swaddling clothes was pink and cute, with clear eyebrows, dark eyes that were very bright, and her soft mouth was squirming and squirming, and her heart suddenly melted, and she refused to let go.
Rong Yue watched with pride on her face.
Yanran teased the child for a while and looked up at her: "How is your sister?" ”
Rong Yue nodded: "She and her brother-in-law are very affectionate, and her brother-in-law is now stationed in Tianqian Kingdom, and her sister is also there to accompany him." ”
Yanran handed the child in her hand to Rong Yue. took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and asked, "Why is Concubine Xian's child gone?" ”
Rong Yue sighed: "County Lord, you can't blame Lan Xin'er for this. That time, the four of us visited the garden together, and both Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu had pets, Concubine Xian had a puppy, and Concubine Shu had a Persian cat. The cat and the dog have been fighting for some reason, the dog is a puppy, the cat is a big cat, and Concubine Xian also loves her dog too much, seeing that the cat is really fierce, she can't help but raise her foot to kick, but the cat pounced on her, Concubine Xian was frightened, and fell to the ground backwards, and the child was gone......"
Yanran sighed. The women in the palace are all scheming, she doesn't think it's just the cat and dog that caused it, and there must be a story hidden in the sentence "That lynx and dog keep fighting for some reason". It's just that no one will say it.
"And now?"
Rong Yue hesitated for a moment: "County Lord, in fact, I also want to tell you about this. Concubine Xian was very sad after her miscarriage, and the emperor was furious and sent Lan Xin'er to the cold palace for two months. I think it's enough to punish her, she has a strong temperament, I'm afraid that something will happen after a long time. Can you ......"
"Can't!" Yan Ran interrupted her, "I'm just an outsider, so I can't interfere in your family affairs." The emperor is sober in his heart, you can find an opportunity to talk to him, and he will listen. ”
Seeing that she refused to agree, Rong Yue's heart also cooled: "If we say ten words, the emperor may not listen to one." But you are different, you are the person on the emperor's heart......"
Yanran stood up: "Rongyue, it's okay to say this to me, just don't tell others again." I am now a married woman, and this will not even affect your emperor. ”
Rong Yue became frightened, and hurriedly bowed her head and apologized: "County Lord, I said nonsense, don't mind!" ”
Yan Ran smiled reluctantly: "I'll come to see you and the child in a while, I'm leaving!" ”
When she returned to Fangfeiyuan, she felt depressed, she knew that she was trying to cover up, her relationship with Minglang had already been known to women and children in Chimelong, she was just escaping. This place is really not suitable for her to stay in.
Minglang still comes to Fangfeiyuan every day to accompany her to dinner. She pretended to inadvertently ask about the location of the cold palace. Minglang was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything. But the next day, Qinglian told her that Concubine Lan Xin'er had been released and still returned to her palace.
A few days later, the four concubines suddenly held a flower-viewing party together, and specially invited the emperor and the county lord to participate. (To be continued.) )
