Chapter 74: First Sight of a Rival in Love
Lian Zhi'er still didn't answer, but slowly asked, "Why?" ”
"When you go back to Beiliang, just keep a thought." His voice was a little faint in the empty night, "Didn't you say I was your brother?" So don't mind. ”
Even he didn't know why he wanted to give her this jade pendant so much.
Hearing him say this, she slowly stretched out her hand to pick up the jade pendant in his hand, and her cold fingertips touched his equally cold palm, and she couldn't help but tremble.
The jade pendant was held in the palm of her hand, and she felt as hot as charcoal.
"When I was in Beijing, I sent a letter to Beiliang, but I never replied." He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky, "But tomorrow spring, the people of Beiliang will come to Beijing to transport the bodies of Ling Zun and Brother Ling, and there will naturally be a way for you to return to Beiliang at that time." ”
The things he had been thinking about for a long time were said by him so lightly.
Suddenly, she raised her sparkling eyes, "If you want me to stay, I'll ......"
He suddenly interrupted her next words, as if he was afraid that she would continue, "Your father and brother will definitely want you to return to Beiliang." ”
Lian Zhi'er pulled the corners of her lips bitterly, "Lord Shi is still as cold as ever. ”
Shi Dye's eyes flashed across her cheeks.
And she continued, "It's ridiculous that there are people who are more pitiful than me." ”
Dyeing, "......"
Obviously said sad things, but she still smiled on her face, "That Miss Fu is not more pitiful than me." At least you've hurt me for a few years, but you've harmed others for a lifetime. ”
In the silent night, only the chirping of birds was heard, and the feeling of exhaustion gradually swept over, Lian Zhi'er blinked his sore eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
She leaned on his shoulder, Shi Ran subconsciously trying to push her away.
Such an intimate action only made him feel very strange.
But on the other side of her is a hard stone, and if she falls over, she will have to break her head and bleed.
Even the moonlight seems to be gentle. He gradually fell into deep thought.
Lian Zhi'er, who was asleep, soon woke up, rubbing her worried eyes, and then realized that she had fallen asleep on Shi Ran's shoulder.
She saw that there were some wrinkles on his clothes, which she must have made out at the right time, and then subconsciously wanted to smooth it, but her hand froze in mid-air, and it took a long time to slowly retract it.
Shi Ran looked at her and suddenly said, "I'm going to buy silk tomorrow." ”
————
The cloth shop in the town was not big, and the customers who came were very good, and the boss was dozing off on the stall, but he heard a low voice,
"Where did this cloth come from?"
The boss suddenly became energetic, so he quickly got up and took a closer look at the future, only to see that standing in front of his stall was a fairy-like figure.
Especially the man, who was born with a peerless demeanor, even attracted the attention of everyone on the street.
"Yo he. The girl is really knowledgeable, this is Yunjin, they are all fresh, and even the queen mother in the palace likes it very much. ”
The boss's face was full of shrewdness, and he saw that the clothes on Lian Zhi'er's body were just coarse cloth, and although Shi Dye was a brocade dress, he was a man after all, so he naturally couldn't distinguish these satins.
"It's not." His voice was like a jade.
The boss and Lian Zhi'er looked at him inexplicably.
"The Queen Mother doesn't like Yunjin, and you're not." His face was full of solemnity.
The boss was stunned, and he didn't think that he was actually knowledgeable.
"It seems that the said son has seen the queen mother!" The boss's face turned a little blue because he was exposed.
"Yes." The dyeing is very serious.
Even she was a little stunned, this was on the street, not in the court, why did he argue with people with such a solemn face.
Lian Zhi'er felt that he didn't know about Shi Ran before, and he was an overly persistent person.
The boss's momentum gradually weakened, and he sighed helplessly, "Look, I was dazzled, so I'll bring the two Yunjin that I want." ”
Lian Zhi'er's fingers ran over the brocade, but he didn't notice anything.
Soon, the boss took out a brocade from the cabinet and swore solemnly, "If this is not Yunjin, I will only take off my head and give it to the two of you to kick and play." ”
Lian Zhi'er's hand swept over the brocade, and he really felt very soft, and couldn't help muttering, "I have worn this brocade before, and this color is plain, and it really suits you very well." ”
"It's yours." The dyeing voice is very soft.
It turned out that it was bought for her.
The boss was a very shrewd man, and when he saw that the business was done, he hurriedly said, "Look at the deep love between your husband and wife, I won't lie to lie to you, this satin is precious, and it takes five hundred taels of silver to make it." ”
In the past, Lian Zhi'er had no concept of silver taels, but after being exiled, a copper plate also felt good, and when he heard such a right silver, he was stunned for a while.
Shi Ran only heard the words "deep love between husband and wife" in front of him, and couldn't help frowning.
But soon Shi Ran took out a silver ticket and gave it to the boss, and then walked back with Lian Zhi'er.
However, she had not walked a few steps before the cloth in her hand fell on the dusty ground.
She only felt creepy when she saw the last person she wanted to see, especially those eyes that were like man-eating beasts, staring at her deadly.
The first to speak was Shi Ran beside him, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Prince return to Beijing?" ”
"It's none of your business." Shi Ran's voice was filled with endless anger, and his gaze swept over Lian Zhi'er's face, this son is here to find you.
The fear in her heart made her hide behind Shi Ran.
And they were standing in a small, secluded alley, with no passers-by.
Lian Zhi'er quietly looked at Ruan Lu at this time, but saw that he was followed by a tall horse, but his body was covered with wind and dust, and even the crown of his hair was a little crooked.
She had never seen Ruan Lu so embarrassed.
"Come out." Seeing her hiding behind Shi Ran, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he threw down the reins of his horse and came over to pull her.
However, Shi Dye turned sideways. Hold her in the back of your own.
"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to respect himself." Shi Ran's face still had no waves, and even in front of the domineering Ruan Lu, his momentum was never suppressed by half a point.
"Self-respect?" Ruan Lu's voice was cold, "This son doesn't know these two words. ”
Lian Zhi'er was frightened by the anger on her face, and only slowly came out from behind Shi Ran, with a pair of clear eyes with a bit of stubbornness, "Your Royal Highness, haven't our affairs been clearly stated and clear?" ”
"But you didn't say you had a baby in your belly."
Lian Zhi'er didn't expect him to know so quickly, but he still said, "Not now." ”
Ruan Lu's face showed a shocked expression, and he seemed to ask in disbelief, "What?" What about our children? ”
"Nature is no longer in my belly, I hate you so much, how can I give birth to a seed of evil." Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm.
"How dare you—" He almost wanted to come forward and strangle him to death.
"It was originally the bane of the evil fetus, and if you keep it in the future, you will just be like the son of the world, but you are a ruthless person." Lian Zhi'er seemed to be forced to be in a hurry, and even the last trace of fear was gone.
Her words were like a sharp blade, slashing through his heart.
"I don't believe it, you come with me to see the doctor." There was a slight tremor in his voice, and it turned out that even he would be afraid.
"Don't look at it, it's the doctor that Master Shi took me to." Lian Zhi'er's fingers involuntarily tugged at Shi Dye's clothes, "I don't believe you ask Lord Shi if this child is still there!" ”
Lian Zhi'er knows that Shi Dye is a righteous gentleman. She never disdained to lie, but she was still willing to gamble, after all, Ruan Lu would definitely believe his words.
"Really?" Ruan Lu stared at Shi Ran deadly, only eager to see a few clear holes in his body.
"Yes." There is only one word for dyeing.
Lian Zhi'er also breathed a heavy sigh of relief, it turned out that he still lied for her, and she owed him so much.
Sure enough, Ruan Lu believed his words, but when he saw him reach out and pull his saber out of his waist, the cold sword pointed at Shi Ran's throat.
"Okay, then you will pay for the life of the child of this world." Ruan Lu's face was full of murderous intent, and even his eyes were blood-red.
Shi Ran is just a scholar, how can he be Ruan Lu's opponent, I am afraid that he will be killed here by Shi Ran today.
And at this moment, she saw Lian Zhi'er jumping out from behind her and blocking in front of him, leaning up on her snow-white neck, looking like she was going home.
Ruan Lu subconsciously withdrew her hand, accompanied by the "humming" of the sword blade, the tip of the sword was only half a finger away from her throat, if she retracted the sword for a moment later, she would have returned to the Yin Division at this time.
Shi Ran was also stunned, but when she saw that she was thin and weak, she stretched out her arm and tried her best to protect him.
"Fuck off." Ruan Lu's voice carried a chill in Sensen, "Don't think that this son of the world will not dare to kill you. ”
Lian Zhi'er suddenly smiled, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World would not dare to kill anyone, let alone a lowly person like me, but we are now husband and wife." I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to let us be a companion in the hell of the underworld. ”
"Husband and wife?" Ruan Lu almost squeezed out these four words from between his teeth.
"Yes." Lian Zhi'er slowly took out the jade pendant that was dyed to her from her arms, and her voice was a little sarcastic, "Your Royal Highness, you look familiar, but this is true, no matter how similar you are, it's just a fake." ”
Ruan Lu's heart was cold and thorough in an instant.
He took the sword in his hand and spun around, pointing only at Shi Ran's neck, "Do you really want to marry her?" ”
"Yes." There is only one word for dyeing.
"Who doesn't know that you are a ruthless person, even the gods in the sky can't move your mind, how can you marry her?" Ruan Lu is not a fool, he refuses to believe it no matter what.
Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth, only turned away, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Shi Ran's cold lips.
Shi Ran didn't seem to think she would do this, his body stiffened like a plank, and the strange smell filled his snort. He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but when he saw Ruan Lu's angry eyes. But I still held back.
After a long time, Lian Zhi'er left, looking at Ruan Lu with a pair of stubborn eyes, "If His Royal Highness still doesn't believe it?" Do we have to worship in front of His Royal Highness the Prince and get married? ”
"Good, good." Ruan Lu's face gradually turned pale, "This son of the world has fulfilled you, and whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with this son." ”
With that, he got on his horse, and with the sound of Dada's hooves, he disappeared into the shabby low alley.
Lian Zhi'er slowly picked up the dirty cloud brocade on the ground, and then wiped the dirt on it with his fingertips.
"It's dirty, it's a shame."
Shi Ran looked at her, his gaze falling on her lips, a little thoughtful.
——
It has been seven or eight days since Ruan Lu returned to the capital, and no one has been found for these days, and the eldest princess is going crazy.
And when Shi Ran appeared in the eldest princess's mansion, the guards guarding the door thought he was a beggar, and just rushed around, "What a stinky thing, don't get out of here." ”
The man standing in front of them was covered with mud, his hair was loose, and he didn't even look like a person, especially the man's blood-red eyes, which made people tremble.
However, he saw that the man kicked down, kicked the guard who was blocking the way down the steps, and then said in a cold voice. "Get out."
Only then did everyone know that the person in front of them was actually their noble prince, His Royal Highness, and they hurriedly got him into the mansion for a while, and then hurried to inform the eldest princess and the concubine.
When the two heard this, they hurried over, and when they saw Ruan Lu like this, even they almost didn't recognize them.
"My son, what a sin you have suffered these days." The eldest princess hadn't cried for many years, but at this time, her face was full of tears. "Mother won't force you anymore, then Fu Yunhuang doesn't have to marry, when you have a girl you like in the future, your mother will never stop you again."
Ruan Lu knew that he would not be able to marry the woman he liked the most in his life.
"I want to marry Fu Yunhuang, I must marry her." Shi Ran only has this one sentence, this can be regarded as his final fulfillment of her, so that she can marry Shi Ran as his wife.
The eldest princess was a little stunned for a moment, and then took his hand and said. "Okay, mother, I'll order someone to propose to you."
After saying that, she only called the housekeeper over, prepared a heavy dowry, and only asked her to send it over quickly to settle the marriage.
However, the housekeeper soon came back with a pale face, and only invited the eldest princess outside, and said with a hesitant face, "That Fu girl is missing, and I don't know where she went, and now the people of the Fu family are crazy." ”
The eldest princess's face suddenly changed greatly, and she sneered, "Bacheng didn't want to marry my son, so she deliberately hid, it seems that the people of the Fu family are getting bolder and bolder, I don't care where she goes, I will find out one day." ”
The housekeeper suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave has quietly asked the people of the Fu Mansion, they gossip a lot, and some people actually said that Miss Fu went to find Shi Daxue." ”
The eldest princess sneered, "Shi Ran is a decent gentleman, she will definitely be driven back, and when she comes back from touching the ash of her nose, then we just have to wait to see a good show." ”
————
Lian Zhi'er is really not the material for doing work, and it takes more than half a month to do a brocade robe.
On that day she sewed the last stitch and went into the dyeing room.
Shi Ran was writing something, and he didn't get up when he heard the movement, as if he was used to her presence.
However, Lian Zhi'er walked in front of him, and then cleared his throat with difficulty, and said, "My lord, the robe is ready for you, can you try it and still fit?" ”
Shi Ran raised her eyes, but saw that she was indeed holding a crescent-white brocade robe, which was actually made of the cloud brocade he bought for her.
"Why did you do it for me?" He frowned.
"My lord's clothes are also a little old, and I am your slave. Naturally, it is necessary to think of it. She smiled sweetly, and even your brow was a little happy, "If it hadn't been a little ruined that day, I could have made myself a jacket!" ”
"This is for you." He was so persistent that he didn't take the robe anyway.
"I'm a slave, how can I wear these things, am I afraid that others won't be able to catch me?" She joked casually, "Besides, there are a lot of things here, I'm a slave and maid, and I actually use Yunjin, I'm afraid that others will say that we have something unsightly." ”
Shi Ran was innocent, and no one had ever said anything about him behind his back, and he couldn't help frowning.
After she finished speaking, she pulled her trousers a little more, and then smiled, "I made myself a pair of socks out of the rest of the fabric." ”
Shi Ran looked down and looked, and sure enough, it was a double crescent white sock. But his eyes still saw the thin white ankles that were inadvertently exposed, and he couldn't help but turn his face away.
He took the shirt anyway. It didn't fit very well when it was only worn on his body, but he didn't complain a word.
Lian Zhi'er was very satisfied, and only smiled and said, "It's a pity that my embroidery is not good, so I have to add something." But I heard that Miss Fu is a person who knows everything, and in the future-"
When she said this, she was stunned, and she just wanted to slap herself twice, and mention what that woman was doing?
Lian Zhi'er only asked him to take off his clothes, and then hugged him in his arms, carefully guarding him, for fear of scratching the silk.
She only said to go back and change it, and left the dyeing room.
Then she walked into the courtyard, but saw that the door of the courtyard had been pushed open, and a man with a hat walked in.
No one had ever dared to come to her and Shi Ran's yard in private, this was Shi Ran's order, only that he didn't like to be disturbed.
Lian Zhi'er frowned, only walked over slowly, and asked softly, "Who are you?" ”
The man even lifted the veil covering his face, but he was a very beautiful woman, and he couldn't even describe it with pen and ink, especially the peach blossom-like eyes, which only made people sink deep into it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Even she hadn't been amazed by such a field, let alone the men?
