Chapter 5 The Three Concubines

He looked at Yan Ran calmly, his eyes full of pain. He shook her hand and turned to Xie Zhenyu: "You must promise your son one condition. ”

"Say!"

"I can be the crown prince, but I don't want the crown princess! I have made an appointment with Yanran, I will not marry or marry in this life, and I will be with you for the rest of my life! ”

Xie Zhenyu coughed for a while, and Yanran hurriedly stroked his back. His gaze swept over the faces of Tai Ran and Yan Ran, but there was no expected anger on his face, but a deep sadness: "Evil obstacles! Evil creature! He muttered, "As long as you don't regret it." ”

"My son will never regret it!"

The matter was finalized like this, Xie Zhenyu seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and his spirit was also sluggish, so Yanran let him lie down and rest, and the two came out quietly. Concubine An Shu saw it and sent them all the way to the gate of the palace.

It was noon. The two walked slowly in the sun, both silent, and when they arrived in front of the Bitong Palace, Yanran proposed to go around the heart washing pool. There is nothing wrong with poise.

The two sat down in the small pavilion by the heart pool, and the surroundings were cool and quiet. Yan Ran leaned her head on Tai Ran's chest and said, "When I was in Shengong Mountain before, the Daoist of Shengong once showed me a picture and said that I would be lonely for the rest of my life. The corners of her mouth gradually filled with a wry smile: "Now it seems that this is really the case!" ”

When he heard this, his heart ached even more, but he couldn't speak. thought that he could take her to the mountains and wilderness, and accompany her for a lifetime, but now the mountains and wilderness are still there, and the old covenant is empty, and he has broken his promise and lost her! He hugged her gently but hard: "That's nothing, my brother will accompany you all your life!" His fingers gently caressed her smooth and tender cheeks, caressing her little delicate ear, "Yanran, my brother's heart has already been given to you." In the future, no matter what my identity is, I will never let any woman stay by my side except you. I won't be the second Clear! ”

Yan Ran's heart is infinitely desolate. She knew that as long as she accepted the storage position, Tairan would gradually move away like Minglang, so far that she could no longer reach it. She remembered asking in a bright and sad way: "I can't give you simple tranquility, can Xie Tairan give it?" ”

She knew now that neither could Brother Tairan. Moreover, she had to push him into a position far from their dreams with her own hands.

When the family and country are in turmoil, where is there a place to put personal emotions?

"Brother," she buried her face completely in her chest, "it's cold, hold me tight!" ”

The two returned to Bitong Palace, Yanran hurriedly wrote Xie Zhenyu's prescription, asked Yunshang to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and after checking them one by one, let Yue Guiyue go to the small kitchen of Bitong Hall to decoction. After that, Yun Ni, Yun Lan and Yun Fen brought lunch, all of which were made by Bitong Palace's own small kitchen, simple but delicious. Tairan accompanied Yanran to finish eating, let her take a nap at noon, and left in a hurry.

Yanran waited until Yuegui Yueda decocted the medicine and sent it to Yuede Palace, and then went to bed and took a nap. When I opened my eyes, it was already dusk. The fluttering calmness in white was sitting beside her. She rubbed over to him in a daze, rested her head on his lap, and asked, "What did you do in a hurry?" ”

"There is a lack of someone from my father's place, so I went to the inner official prison and picked someone over, and let Yuexi take it for a few days first. I went to Yongzhou Prison to check on the situation of Xiao Rongzi and Yuefu. ”

Yanran knows that he has always been a meticulous and thoughtful person.

"When I went to the Inner Officials' Prison, I passed by the Shangyi Bureau and instructed them to sew a few new sets of clothes for you." She had just returned to the palace, and her clothes were still the same pink dresses that Tairan bought in Fulai Town last year.

Yan Ran pouted: "I'm afraid of wearing palace clothes, like ropes to tie my hands and feet." It's better to buy outside, it's light and good-looking. ”

"That's much easier. In a few days, I will take you out of the palace and buy all the good clothes in Yongzhou City. Anyway, my brother has money. ”

Yanran remembered another thing: "Brother, early tomorrow morning, you want to perform the canonization ceremony, can you take me to meet Concubine Yi first?" ”

"Naturally, I'll go with you. I also have to visit An Shufen and Concubine Jing'an by the way. You have just entered the palace, first fulfill the etiquette, and they will have nothing to say. ”

Yan Ran had a bitter face, but she could only nod.

Early the next morning, the two went out. Concubine Yi lives in Jingcui Palace, which is some distance away from Bitong Palace. However, the scenery in the palace is very good, the curved bridge pavilion, the flowers and trees are sparse, the two of them talk while enjoying the scenery, and they are outside the Jingcui Palace.

After the maid reported, she said that Concubine Yi was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and calmly led Yanran into the palace, and walked to the living room of Jingcui Palace, and the two were sitting down and waiting. Half a moment later, Concubine Yi came out. Yanran knelt down on her knees and fell to the ground. She is the elder who watched Yanran grow up, and she is also the only old man in the palace. Concubine Yi is also a lot older, but her face is more kind, but she really looks like Guanyin Bodhisattva in the picture. She hurriedly pulled Yanran up, looked at her carefully, and couldn't help crying: "It's really like your mother!" ”

Yan Ran's eyes were also red. Said calmly: "Mother, haven't you always wanted to see Yanran?" Now that Yanran is here, why are you sad? ”

Concubine Yi laughed: "Exactly! He hurriedly asked them if they had breakfast, and then put a few fruits and refreshments into Yanran's hand. Yan Ran was helpless and said, "Niangniang, I really can't eat it, why don't I take it back and eat it?" ”

All three laughed. Concubine Yi sat down and said, "Yanran, there are many people in the palace, and he is reckless, you have to help him more in the future and remind him, so as not to attract tongues." ”

Yanran nodded, "Don't worry." I'm even more reckless than him, and in the future, others will only gossip about me, and I won't talk about Brother Tairan anymore. ”

Concubine Yi smiled: "It's just that you are naughty, and your words and actions are unexpected.!" ”

The three of them laughed for a while and then took their leave. calmly walked with Yanran to the Junxiu Palace where Concubine An Shu.

Concubine An Shufei was very happy to see the brother and sister, and pulled Yanran to talk for a long time, which was really frank and gentle, without any scheming. She also called Xie Jingran over. Xie Jingran and Xie Dingran are the same year, but they are only three months younger. When he saw Tai Ran Yanran, he saluted, but he didn't say much, a little timid. This child seems to be very introverted, and Yanran loves her heart, but unfortunately time is in a hurry and she has no time to talk about it. After that, they went to the Qixiu Palace to visit Concubine Jing.

In the Qixiu Palace, Concubine Jing had not yet appeared, but Xie Dingran came at a trot all the way, shouting as she ran: "Sister Yanran, you are back!" I'm going to play marbles with you! ”

Running closer, he didn't have time to pay attention to Tairan, and directly crashed into Yan Ran's arms, entangled her like a kraft candy: "Sister, good sister, I miss you so much, do you think I don't have it?" ”

Yanran smiled: "Why don't you want to?" My sister misses you too! ”

"How much do you want?"

Yan Ran gestured her hand: "Well, there are so many people who have Brother Tairan's thoughts!" ”

Xie Dingran was very satisfied: "You think of me so much, will I sleep with you every day in the future?" ”

Tairan's face darkened, and Yan Ran was also stunned, why is this a bit weird?

"Definitely!" Suddenly, a beautiful woman in palace clothes appeared at the door, raised her eyebrows and scolded Xie Dingran: "You are a prince, how can you say such unbearable words?" If you don't know, you think who taught you badly! ”
