Eternal Night's hand lightly swept across Chu Lingyuan's half-open chest, and said with a smile: "Behind this...... I'm afraid there is some big secret that we don't know. ”

"Who knows." I don't know what I remembered, Chu Lingyuan's frowning brows instantly relaxed, and as soon as he grasped the hand that Yongye placed on his chest, he smiled, "Don't care about them for now—now, we have something more important to ......"

Yongye glanced at Ah Feng and laughed softly.

Ah Feng's face with a serious expression instantly became very indescribable: "......"

Ah Feng instantly climbed out of the window and walked out of the hall, leaving only one sentence: "You guys take your time, I'll go first......"

"Are you going back?" Cao Han looked at the meal that was basically unchanged in front of Luo Liyao, and after showing a slight look of surprise, he hurriedly covered it up, "Princess Zhenli's appetite is ...... It's not necessarily too little. But these meals are not appetizing? ”

"The chef found by Niangniang is very skilled, this dish has completely made the due flavor, and the color, flavor and flavor are also complete, but-" Luo Liyao glanced at the crab roe and fish balls in front of her, which had only been eaten by herself for a few bites, and smiled lightly, "Shen Chu's taste is spicy, while Tianqi's preference is salty and sweet...... Although this cook is good, he is an authentic Shenchu person, so naturally he can't make the taste of Tianqi. ”

"The palace ignores the fact that the two countries also have regional preferences—no wonder the princess is not used to eating and eats so little." Cao Han shook his head lightly, and said helplessly, "When the eldest princess Zhaoying went from Shenchu to Tianqi, she must have been used to it for a long time......

"There are some chefs of Shen Chu in the marriage of the queen mother-her skills are excellent, but she can only cook some dishes unique to Tianqi......" Luo Liyao's face remained unchanged, but her heart still moved slightly, and then there was a sour taste, "No matter what, she hasn't changed, she still likes to wash her hands and make soup for her father herself." ”

"Alas...... Cough. Cao Han hid his face and blocked the look on his face. Although Luo Liyao couldn't see her face clearly, she could easily hear the choked meaning in her tone, "After the death of the eldest princess Zhaoying, Jinluan ......"

"Aunt Jinluan, ......"

Luo Liyao didn't care about the obvious choking sound in her words, and only gently spread out her right hand - the five fingers were white and delicate, and in this cold winter season, there was still the temperature of the human body.

It's just that at this time, the temperature is as hot as blood in the heart, and there seems to be that mottled and bright blood red on the fingers.

Just like the temperature and scene when Jinluan lay in her arms that year, her hands were covered with blood.

"After arranging everything, she committed suicide by poisoning herself in front of the queen mother's spirit, and I was not. . .

....." Luo Liyao looked at the palm of her white hand and muttered, "But fortunately, they are still together in the end." ”

Cao Han took the handkerchief from the hand of the maid on the side, wiped the corners of his eyes, and cried: "If it weren't for the fact that this palace still has concerns in this world, I would have gone with the eldest princess." ”

"Niangniang is now the mother of a country, you still have the prince and the princess Xiang, don't think about such tragic things."

Luo Liyao lowered her eyes, but her fingers began to fiddle with the hair hanging down her cheeks. Her eyelashes, which were worn with jade beads, looked extraordinarily long under the shadow of the lamp, and occasionally lowered her eyes and cast a patch of crow blue on her lower eyelids.

Her tone was very flat, completely different from Cao Han's choked up and about to cry - it was obviously something she had experienced, and it was obvious that Cao Han was comforting her, but ...... Her reaction to Cao Han seemed to be completely reversed.

"Princess ......"

"I've been bothering the queen for too long today, I'm really sorry." Luo Liyao got up slowly, bent her knees slightly, and directly interrupted Cao Han's next words, "The day after tomorrow is the wedding day of the prince and the county lord of Liran, presumably the queen still has a lot of things to do, if I am still here to talk to the mother, it will be too ignorant." ”

She said this coincidentally, not only euphemistically expressing her departure, but also reminding Cao Han - you don't have to act in front of me anymore, the most important thing for you now is the big wedding the day after tomorrow.

If Chu Lingyuan and the Yongjia swallowed this breath like that, and they were not ready to do it at the wedding of Chu Lingze and Meng Liran, they would naturally be very happy.

But not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

But Luo Liyao believes that the so-called "what if" is also an inevitable "what if".

When she walked out of Cao Han's dormitory, Tang Haoqi, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, hurriedly stood up straight, ran towards her, and whispered softly in her ear: "Senior Ye has already sent a message, and it is all ready—how is Empress Shenchu?" ”

"Don't worry...... She is preoccupied with Chu Lingze's position as the crown prince and the revitalization of the Cao family - she is very smart and knows what to do to get the most benefits. Luo Liyao tilted her head slightly, and glanced at the strings of red carved lanterns hanging under the eaves of the main hall, "At least at this time, we don't have to worry about her side." ”

“...... Meaning, not necessarily in the future? Tang Haoqi, who had stepped on many pits, instantly became witty and walked to the residence with her, "No, let's completely offend the Yong family for them, aren't they and the Yong family feud?" The enemy of my enemy is my friend...... Could they still stab us in the back? Not really, right? ”

"Not now, maybe in the future." Luo Liyao retracted her gaze and seemed to smile, "It's driven by interests - as the queen of a country."

, where can you really ally with a princess of another country? She just wants to use our hands to get rid of the Yongjia and Chu Lingyuan, the two henchmen. ”

"Niangniang......" The maid Lixiu rubbed her shoulders a little tiredly when she saw her master, and hurriedly leaned over with a look of understanding, and gently massaged her, "Do you think that Princess Zhenli will really do her best to help us deal with the Yong family?" ”

"If she is not afraid that Meng Liran will marry away from home, but in the end she will end up miserable, naturally she will not bother too much." Cao Han raised her face, and her face, which had not yet taken off her makeup, was full of salallow and old age that could not be concealed at all, "However, she can't." ”

"Mother?"

"Shen Chu can live without the Yong family, but Tianqi can't live without the Meng family." Cao Han snorted, and threw the handkerchief that he had just grabbed in his hand to Lixiu, "It's really her daughter, even such a high-minded and proud self-righteous appearance is exactly the same!" ”

"Niangniang, are you talking about the eldest princess Zhaoying?" Li Xiu laughed lightly and massaged her shoulders even harder, "When Niangniang was reading to the eldest princess as a companion, the eldest princess was only close to the young lady of the Jin family, how many people gossiped behind her back, and how many grievances did Niangniang suffer from them openly and secretly - but this Miss Jin family is really a dead brain, and now the Jin family is going to die, she still ......"

"Don't talk about them, as soon as these two people are mentioned, this palace feels unlucky! One is high up on the other and the other is stupid, what will happen in the end?! Cao Han frowned, and then showed a look of extreme disgust and disgust, "And that short-lived fox slut - they've been dead for so many years, and they haven't died yet!" Why are you still here in the way of this palace, and the children of this palace!! ”

In the end, Cao Han was a little angry, seeing that Li Xiu was holding the handkerchief he had just used, and just now Luo Liyao's smiling but indifferent Shuli face, he was even more angry, and directly grabbed the handkerchief and threw it aside.

Before Lixiu could react, the handkerchief was thrown out by her in anger and fell to the ground lightly.

The silk surface embroidered with white silk and gold thread is so clean that there is no trace of dust, and there is no moisture at all.

"Mother's anger, mother's anger—"

Li Xiu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, smoothed out the folds on it and put it away - this is a tribute from the outer city, which was personally appreciated by His Majesty, and it can't be broken.

"Heh-" Cao Han didn't care, just watched her pick up the handkerchief, and sneered, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust......"

On November 14, in Cangxia City, the maids and attendants in the Prince's East Palace stayed awake all night.

On the morning of November 15, as soon as the sky dawned, half of the sky was reflected in the joy of the city's lanterns.

"One comb to the end, the second to the gray hair

Eyebrows, comb three combs to the children and grandchildren......"

Luo Liyao held a red jade comb in her hand, followed Meng Liran's black and smooth green silk, followed the guidance of the bride next to her, and combed her long hair to the end unimpeded.

Embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and paint a paper full of red beans.

Not to mention the moon in the west building, the faint lights count the galaxy.

Not to mention the banana rain, the shimmering red candle drips ink. ①

Xi Niang is the most experienced grandmother in the Shenchu Palace, and she is also the person who once personally sent Chu Zhaoying to marry - she watched with satisfaction as Luo Liyao pulled her hair in a bun for Meng Liran, gently put the phoenix crown on for her, and stuffed a golden apple in her hand, reminding: "When the hijab is covered, the crown princess will not be able to speak anymore." ”

Meng Liran nodded slightly, but raised his hand to stop the maid who was about to present the red silk hijab next to him: "You all stand down first, wait outside-wait, I'll cover my head and go out." ”

Xi Niang and Luo Liyao glanced at each other, then led the maid who was serving on the side and slowly retreated.

"Sister Yao." Meng Liran watched them close the door, raised her head slightly, stared at her from the mirror in front of her, and said with a smile, "Am I looking good today?" ”

"Today is your big day, where is there anything unsightly."

"Sister Yao...... This phoenix crown is really heavy. Meng Liran raised his hand and stroked the luxurious but cold jade beads on his phoenix crown, "But when I think I can marry him, I can endure anything—even if I know that I am just a pawn of yours." ”

Luo Liyao was slightly stunned and silent.

"Sister Yao really knows me and really thinks about me." Meng Liran didn't care about her silence, as if she didn't want her answer, and went straight on, "It's just that I hope that after me...... The sons and daughters of our Meng family can truly live for themselves once. ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

"The Tianqi royal family and the Meng family have long been inseparable, and I am the best proof of this." Meng Liran got up slowly, the jade on his body jingled, and he reached out to pick up the hijab that had just been carefully placed on the table by the maid, "The royal family has paid too much to lock up the Meng family; In order to repay the royal family, the Meng family has also lost too much ......"

Luo Liyao looked at her incomparably clear eyes, took the red hijab she handed over—raised her hand, and unfolded it.

"Sister Yao, after me...... Let's let the Meng family go. ”

She said this last thing before her eyes were hidden by the impermeable red hijab.

It's not begging, it's not advice, it's just the kind of bland telling.

tells the story of her fate, which seems to have seen the head at a glance, the fate she chose, but she couldn't help herself.
