Chapter 21: Searching for Secrets

"Princess, do you want to go and rest?" Xia Dong Qingmei accompanied Su Lan to wander around the palace, and couldn't help but ask after watching Su Lan walk for so long.

Su Lan didn't answer, since she walked around the palace, she found that there was a familiar aura pulling her.

She couldn't tell what it was, but she knew she had to figure out what it was, pulling her along.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Ling, further on, is the East Palace......" The maid sent by the queen to lead the way stopped Su Lan's footsteps and lowered her head to remind.

Su Lan glanced at Donggong with a complicated look, if she didn't feel wrong, that familiar aura was the source of Donggong.

"Summer, winter, and green plums, let's go back and rest." Then he said to the maid, "Lead the way." ”

On the way back, Su Lan was a little uneasy, and he kept thinking about the familiar atmosphere in the East Palace.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? When you came back from the East Palace, you always looked uneasy......" Qingmei asked with some concern.

Su Lan shook his head and signaled that he was fine.

"Princess Ling is also here to rest!" The visitor walked up to Su Lan enthusiastically, greeting Su Lan with a gentle smile on his face.

This person is the wife of General Fu, the hussar general who praised Su Lan for dancing well at the luncheon, Shen's appearance is a gentle woman, because he has had contact with General Fu before, Su Lan probably knows that General Fu is a bold and righteous person, so Su Lan's impression of Shen is still good.

"Mrs. Fu, sit down." Su Lan said politely.

"The princess is really as beautiful and smart as Ruru."

Seeing Su Lan's ignorant expression, Shen quietly put it in her ear and said, "This is the Yue family, the lady of Kyoto Sheng Taishi. ”

"Mrs. Sheng, you have praised it falsely"

"Princess, today's luncheon princess and His Royal Highness King Ling Qin Se and Ming, the love is extraordinary!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Ling is really good to the princess!"

Su Lan smiled, these people just wanted to hear about King Ling from her mouth, inquire about it, and then find a way to marry their daughter.

Hum! Call him King Ling to despise himself! See if I don't give him some color!

"Yes, before marrying His Royal Highness, I also heard that His Royal Highness King Ling is a lone star in the sky, and he will be able to restrain his wife! But it scared me a lot, I didn't think that His Royal Highness King Ling had a very good temperament and was very easy to get along with, now that I think about it, I really thought too much at that time! Su Lan said exaggeratedly.

"It seems that the rumors are not credible!"

"yes, yes, the rumors are all nonsense without evidence"

"That'...... Does His Royal Highness King Ling have a concubine? A lady asked with some hesitation.

"Naturally, there is none! Everyone said before that he was a lone star, and no woman could marry him! Just a few days ago, I mentioned to His Highness about taking a concubine! Su Lan began to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Oh? Is it? That...... What did His Highness say? As soon as these words came out, many young women immediately looked at Su Lan with expectant eyes.

"His Royal Highness, he didn't object, he just told me that it was good to go with the flow, and if you meet the right one, then there is no problem in marrying it."

When the people present heard this, they quietly made up their minds in their hearts, especially those women who loved King Ling, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Although it is said that His Royal Highness King Ling has already married the princess, fortunately, there is no side concubine in the palace!

If Bai Banru's mother and daughter heard these words, I don't know if they would be so angry that they vomited blood on the spot! I knew that the princess would say this, so why did they plan to make such a farce today!?

Of course, there are also people who secretly discuss in their hearts that this Ling Wangfu actually has no objection to King Ling's concubine, and is quite publicized about the matter of concubines, which can't help but make people admire Princess Ling's generosity.

In fact, Su Lan hopes that her future husband is the only woman, after all, no woman wants to share her husband with others.

Moreover, because of the experience of her mother, she secretly swore that if she could not find someone who could be with her for the rest of her life, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life.

But fortunately, Liu Zijin appeared in her life, although they are not together yet, but she believes that that day will come.

It was night in the blink of an eye, Su Lan followed the queen and others to the banquet hall, the banquet hall was very large, and there were many people who came to the banquet, and there were many people who came and went, so Su Lan looked around the banquet hall and didn't find where Xiao Ling was sitting.

"Huh! Princess, where is His Royal Highness King Ling! Xia Dong's sharp eyes saw the seat where King Ling was.

Su Lan followed Xia Dong's gaze, King Ling was sitting in a dark purple robe, even if there were people coming and going in the banquet hall, he was also sitting upright, the expression on his face was calm and unhurried, and he had a cold temperament, which made people can't help but be attracted by it, and the handsome and fair face couldn't help but make Su Lan stunned.

Xiao Ling felt that someone was watching him, he looked over and found that it was Su Lan, he didn't realize that the moment she saw Su Lan, his eyes softened.

Su Lan's face suddenly burned, and her heart beat faster, that feeling was amazing, she had never experienced it before. What's going on? What's wrong with her?

Su Lan hurriedly lowered his head, what are you doing! Look at her with such gentle eyes! It's useless to scold yourself again! You can be stunned when you see a good-looking beautiful man!

"Princess, let's go, where is His Royal Highness King Ling, why are you in a daze?" Qingmei reminded Su Lan in a whisper.

"Oh, oh, let's go." Su Lan came back to his senses, suppressed his inner thoughts, and pretended to be very calm and walked over.

Su Lan calmly sat cross-legged next to King Ling, and suddenly, King Ling approached Su Lan, close to her ear, hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked with an evil smile: "You ...... just now Is it to look at me stunned? ”

A deep and magnetic voice echoed in Su Lan's ears, and the warm breath hit Su Lande's ears, making her ears not only itch but also quickly stained red.

Su Lan hurriedly stepped back, with the shame of being seen through: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

Xiao Ling looked at her cute and angry little face and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe"

Su Lan pushed her away and sat up straight and poured herself a glass of wine.

"Do you think I'm good-looking, then?" Just after Su Lan thought that Xiao Ling would not continue to ask her about what he had just said, he suddenly asked a little ambiguously.

"Poof!" Su Lan squirted out a mouthful of wine.

Su Lan has never been molested by a man since he was a child, let alone that the other party is such a good-looking and delicate person, and now Su Lan's cheeks are even red.

Xiao Ling took out a handkerchief, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped the wine stains on Su Lan's mouth.

Su Lan looked at him blankly and let him wipe it.

"Okay," Xiao Ling said as he looked at Su Lan with gentle eyes.

Xia Dong and Qingmei looked at Su Lan and King Ling's "affection", and hid behind the two of them and held back a smile!

Because the two of them still don't know that Su Lan actually has someone in his heart, they are naturally happy for Su Lan's "warm" married life.

Su Lan came back to his senses and avoided Xiao Ling's gaze. Fortunately, it was the king of the south who came, diverting the attention of the two of them.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers worshipped.

"Get up!"

King Nan looked like a very dignified middle-aged man, he looked at King Ling, his eyes moved to Su Lan again, and his voice was full of anger: "Ling Er, this is Princess Ling?" ”

"Back to my father, she is the wife of her son."

"Erchen has seen Your Majesty!"

"Well, as rumored, it is true that she looks like a heavenly immortal, Princess Ling marries into my southern country, which represents the peace of southern Chu, what is there not suitable for in the southern country?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Erchen feels that this southern country has very rich assets and nurtures people, and he does not feel uncomfortable."

"Very good! Very good! Sit down! Hahaha! Nanhuang was obviously very pleased by Su Lan's words.

Su Lan was supposed to see the emperor when he first came to see the empress, but the emperor happened to have government affairs at that time, so he didn't see him.

The first time Su Lan saw the King of the South, Su Lan knew why the Chu Kingdom, which had a two-hundred-year foundation, was forced to go to the road of harmony. Nanwang is middle-aged, but his eyes are unruly, and he has the ambition to conquer all things.

And the King of Chu has become more and more obsessed with beauty in recent years, and when Su Lan was still in the Chu Palace, he heard that the King of Chu had accepted several more beauties. Compared to the two, King Chu is really too much behind!

Since Nanwang came to the banquet, Su Lan could feel the familiar breath more and more, Su Lan looked at it for a week, and finally fixed his eyes on a man.

That man should be the prince who came to the banquet with the Southern Emperor, the prince is about his early thirties, and he looks very tall and calm, but Su Lan looks closely and feels that the prince gives people a sinister feeling.

Su Lan thought to herself, there must be something in his body that was attracting her, and she felt that her soul could not control it and become active.

Su Lan touched his chin and thought, what is the secret of that thing?

Singing, dancing, wine and food slowly came up, and the Southern Emperor told them not to be too restrained, so many courtiers in the banquet hall were drinking with the Southern Emperor while talking to the Southern Emperor.

Although they were less restrained than at the beginning, the courtiers still spoke in a measured manner. And the ladies generally sit in their seats and don't talk much.

King Ling half-squinted at Su Lan, who had been looking at the crown prince, but because Su Lan was observing the prince while trying to suppress her boiling soul, he didn't notice that Xiao Ling was looking at her at all.

At the same time, the crown prince also found that Su Lan had been looking at him, and he wondered in his heart, what did this Princess Ling want to do when she kept looking at him?

It's just that he didn't show it, he wanted to know what Su Lan was going to do!

Xiao Ling approached Su Lan and asked softly, "What have you been watching the prince do?" ”

"Ah......" Su Lan moved his gaze back and pretended to be stupid and said, "I just took a casual look, it turns out that he is the prince." ”

Su Lan picked up a glass of wine in disguise, and then put it in his mouth.

Su Lan knew that Xiao Ling and the crown prince were in a hostile relationship, so he didn't say much.
