Volume 1: The Female General and the Concubine Chapter 002: Forever together
Yan Lanyan just wanted to open her mouth to break this embarrassing scene, the little girl in front of her seemed to be bloodshot, and then she shed tears.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, why did she cry as soon as she met?
Wuchen, who had been "squeaking, coughing" in his throat for a while, finally made something else.
"Cloud, cloud."
Seeing that the girl stopped crying, Yan Lanyan breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know what this girl is talking about, but it's better than crying all the time.
Xiao Yue couldn't hear what she was talking about, so she quickly poked her arm and corrected her: "What are you talking about, this is our son-in-law, that is, your savior, why is it so unlucky to cry and cry as soon as we meet." ”
Yan Lanyan asked her name, Wuchen muttered for a long time, and said that his face was red, and others still didn't understand a few words.
Dustless tears of embarrassment, she wanted to tell him what her name was, it was the name he gave herself when they first met, but at this moment her language skills were even worse than before, and she couldn't express anything.
"Then, I'll call you Qing'er in the future, okay?" Yan Lanyan is not embarrassed by her, for a person who has been growing up in trauma, perhaps forgetting the past is the best choice.
Qing'er.
Wuchen silently recited it in his heart many times before he began to nod vigorously. For her, she can be called whatever she wants, as long as he gives it.
Lan Shen asked a few more warm words, asked Xiao Yue to arrange what she needed to do in the future, and left.
Since the injury has not healed, Satsuki also takes care of Qing'er and only lets her do some light work.
At first, it was relatively leisurely, but then the old mother in the house couldn't stand it, although the palace was rich, it was not a place to raise idlers.
Because of the scars on his face, the old mother led herself directly to the Huanyi Fang, washed clothes in the Huanyi Fang at noon and afternoon, did chores, and cleaned up in the Lanxiang Courtyard in the early morning, trimming the flowers and plants in the yard.
In order to avoid letting Qing'er scare the young ladies in the house, Xiaoyue also used silk that she was reluctant to use to sew a blue mask for Qing'er.
Yan Lanyan looked at it twice more when she entered the courtyard, thinking that she would be more comfortable herself. It didn't take long for me to see that their Lan Ember son had lost his usual steady, and jumped in front of him, tilting his head to look at his face.
Originally, Qing'er didn't care so much about his face, but when he looked at it like this, his mind went blank, and he was all ashamed, his head was at a loss under Yan Lanyan's gaze, and he wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide.
However, Lan Shen didn't embarrass her for long, and smiled gently: "This is what my mother specially sent someone to do for you, I just tried it, it is soft and light like nothing, it must be much better than the one on your face." ”
Qing'er glanced at a light blue veil in Lan Ash's hand, and nodded lightly at Lan Ash, if her face was a normal face, the sudden redness of her cheeks would definitely be reflected in someone's eyes.
But judging from her demeanor, Qing'er behaved very indifferently, and took the veil politely, without too much surprise, but it made Lan Yan's heart a little darker.
Usually he rewarded Rong Hui with a piece of meat, and that kid was very grateful, not to mention other maids.
Now that he had personally brought a veil, she only politely accepted it, but she was not as excited as they were.
Could it be that it hurt her self-esteem?
It's just that Lan Shen didn't notice the slightly trembling hands at the moment, and he couldn't hear the heartbeat that had been messed up.
He only thought he was her master. But in her heart, he is everything to her, the one she has been waiting for for hundreds of years, the one she can give something more precious than life to protect.
Although it has been a few months since I arrived at the house, every time I see him, it is like a dream, maybe I have waited too long, and even if I do, it will feel unreal. The feeling she felt when she saw Lan Ember was intimate and strange.
She would remember that when they were together, she might rub in his arms all day, and scratch him when she was unhappy, but now it is different, in her previous life she was a cat, unscrupulous, and pampered.
But in this life, she is human, and she is also a subordinate with half burns on her body. And he, at all, doesn't remember himself at all.
However, Yan Lanyan dispelled his previous thoughts after a while. Two tears slipped from under Qing'er's slightly trembling eyelashes. The dodging eyes flashed with a moving gaze, it was moving, it was excited, it was something deeper and deeper than gratitude.
Lan Shen was immersed in her uninjured eye for a while, and involuntarily held up the dodging face, and said softly: "Qing'er's face must be beautiful and thrilling under the veil." ”
He didn't just say comforting words, the beauty of the eyes he had just seen shocked a teenager's heart.
Qing'er raised her head and looked at Lan Ember with a reddish gaze.
In the past, these hands were so warm, and these eyes were so kind and sincere.
At this moment, how she wished that she really had a thrilling face, so that she might be able to face him day by day as before, and never leave an inch.
For the first time, she felt immensely ashamed of her face.
Qing'er replaced the veil on her face under Lan Yan's expectation, and Xiao Yue next to her kept rolling her eyes inwardly. It's really a pain for this girl. The fabric, which she was reluctant to use, was specially cut for her to use, and it was easily replaced.
Lan Ember Gongzi seemed to be in a good mood when he left, and Xiao Yue was left with an awkward face and was unwilling to sort it out.
"But the action that Childe did to you just now ......" Xiao Yue carefully looked at Qing'er again, her eyes were fine, and she felt that her conjecture was too outrageous. The next words changed before they could be spoken, must have been extremely intimate to her when Childe saw her pitiful? No, gentlely.
But after thinking about it, she still wanted her to know, "There is a rule in our house, all subordinates are not allowed to have a relationship with Miss Gongzi more than that between master and servant, and Sister Ling'er was ...... because she was favored by the eldest prince" Xiao Yue looked around and made a gesture to wipe her neck.
"However, in our Lanxiang Academy, we don't have to be too restrained, just abide by our duties. But the most important and important first point is that the people in this courtyard must be loyal to the princess and the princess, and don't be like the girls in other courtyards, because ah, the princess and the princess of our family are the kindest people in the world. ”
Qing'er looked at her smug appearance, like Yun Xi in the previous life praising how smart her kitten was in front of her classmates.
After a few days, Xiaoyue felt that Qing'er's body was almost recovered, so she asked her to go out with her to buy some things. As soon as I passed by the door, I saw the second son who was being carried in by the little maid. Xiao Yue dragged Qing'er and retreated to the side with her head down.
It seems that the second son played in a green building all night before coming back.
Qing'er looked at the robe, purple.
The heavy footsteps stopped in front of Qing'er, obviously dressed as a subordinate, not only covering his face with a veil in the house, but also surrounded by a water-soluble yarn given by the emperor.
Yan Qiliang pinched Qing'er's chin and lifted her face. The smell of alcohol lingers.
Qing'er looked at this face with a determined gaze.
"Do all the girls in the house want to die now!" Seeing this, Xiaoyue just wanted to kneel down and kowtow, and then the second son ripped off Qing'er's veil. Seeing the face that was half ruined by the scar, Yan Qiliang laughed evilly twice. "Yo, stinky beggar, why aren't you dead yet?"
Qing'er looked straight ahead with empty eyes, and she had already prepared herself for this person.
This person who was violently beaten by his own people appeared in front of him, and for Yan Qiliang, this was a provocation, a fatal provocation.
What's even more unfortunate is that Yan Qiliang has not woken up at this time, and he has done everything. The death of a beggar in this house is no different from the death of an ant. Because Zheng Wangfu cares about face, not kindness.
Qing'er's eyes were firm, still maintaining the posture just now, unwavering.
Xiao Yue was next to her, but her heart was about to jump out, although Xiao Yue was a big girl with a head and a face in the Lanxiang Courtyard, and no one in the house would openly bully her, but Qing'er was different, Qing'er was a beggar in the eyes of the second son, and the princess didn't know that there was such a person, who would save face for the princess because of this little girl, let alone this unsympathetic second son.
Xiaoyue is smart, listening to the words of the second son just now, she thought that it was the second son who beat Qing'er half to death. It's completely bad now, if the second son really kills someone, it's really like crushing an ant to death.
Yan Qiliang had the patience to wait for Qing'er's answer, he stood up straight, and slammed his right hand into Qing'er's head with a half-clenched fist.
Qing'er was already thin, and she was hit by a huge impact, her head was covered instantly, and then the whole person fell straight to the ground.
Xiao Yue peeked at the Orchid Courtyard, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"I beg the second son to be kind, Qing'er just arrived in the mansion and didn't understand the rules, and asked the second son to spare her a lot this time."
Yan Qiliang looked at it again, yo, this is not the unpleasant things in Lanxiang Courtyard, those people have to clean up from the roots, but now is not the opportunity.
Homeopathic foot lifted up and kicked Xiaoyue to the ground, and said a word, "Get out." ”
Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she was really afraid that she wouldn't let herself go. Hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, and ran away with a roll.
Xiao Yuefei also rushed into the Lanxiang Courtyard. Childe saw that he had just had breakfast at the princess's place, and Satsuki hurriedly ran into the study and packed the two books on Childe's desk and put them in the bookbag.
didn't wait for Childe to speak, directly dragged Childe's arm and pushed it out quickly.
As he walked out, he said quickly: "The one who beat Qing'er half to death is the second son, the second son just came back from a hangover outside, I'm afraid that Qing'er will be beaten to death this time, the son will go and save her, at the back door." ”
After hearing this, Yan Lanyan hurriedly trotted over, and saw Qing'er being trampled under Yan Qiliang's feet from a distance.
Yan Lanyan straightened her clothes and slowed down. When he waited for five paces away, he called the second brother.
"Yo, good brother went to school so early."
"It's a little later than the second brother, and the smell of wine on this body is not fresh, and it smells of blood." Yan Lanyan glanced at Qing'er on the ground.
Yan Qiliang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You are going to be nosy today." ”
The corners of Yan Lanyan's mouth twitched: "The second brother's affairs are in charge of the father, but we people in the Lanxiang Academy still hope that the second brother will be merciful." ”
Yan Qiliang twisted it vigorously under his feet again, "It's just a stinky beggar, when do you need a waste person to take care of your Lanxiang Courtyard." ”
"There have never been any wasted people in my Lanxiang Academy, and all people will abide by their duties, and they will clearly distinguish what to do and what not to do. If the second brother has any opinions about the subordinates of our Lanxiang Academy, you can fight with your father to manage the internal affairs of our Lanxiang Academy, or take over the position of housekeeper, anyway, you don't often go to the National Academy, and those trivial matters will not delay you from drinking outside and meeting friends. ”
Yan Qiliang sneered, the ghost knows how much effort he spent to hold back the fire in his stomach. The eyes almost popped out, it was not just a threat, but also an insult, but it could not be refuted. He clenched his fists condescendingly and approached Yan Lanyan, Yan Lanyan's eyes were still calm, and his calm eyes were more confident.
Yan Qiliang stretched out his hand and lifted Qing'er in his hand, Qing'er was already thin and small, and she had just been beaten, so she carried it in her hand like a cat without strength.
Yan Lanyan took two steps closer and looked at the bottom of Yan Qiliang's hand.
Qing'er supported the ground with her feet and wanted to stand up, but the strength of Yan Qiliang's hands was too great, and she was beaten again with a heart-piercing pain in her legs, so she just kicked the ground twice and softened again.
Yan Lanyan stretched out her hand, pinched Yan Qiliang's arm, and grabbed Yan Qiliang's wrist, her eyes becoming more and more indifferent.
"The second brother had better let go, if something goes wrong with this girl, I guarantee that the second brother will not have a good time in the future."
Yan Lanyan's eyes narrowed slightly, naked threatened.
At the same time, the power in the hand increases.
Yan Qiliang's wrist was pinched in Yan Lanyan's hand, but the two fingers were forced, accompanied by pain, and he felt that his hand was about to be separated from his wrist, and he couldn't use his strength.
Qing'er broke away from Yan Qiliang's hand. Bent over, he sat limply on the ground.
Yan Lanyan let go of Yan Qiliang's wrist, and Yan Qiliang moved his wrist, which was intact.
Yan Qiliang gritted his teeth and whispered: "Sooner or later, one day, you will pay the price." ”
After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Yan Lanyan squatted down and looked at Qing'er's body, Qing'er had just been stepped on and couldn't get up all of a sudden.
"Qing'er, is there any other place where there is an injury, can you point it out to me?" Seeing Qing'er shaking her head, Yan Lanyan helped the person up, looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one else, so she simply squatted down and patted her back.
Qing'er did not retreat, a familiar warmth wrapped herself in a daze, and she was extremely stable when she closed her eyes and lay on his shoulder.
Fortunately, the leg was not broken, and after the head was covered overnight, it still hurt a little when I woke up the next morning, and there was nothing wrong with the rest, but I had to be lame for a few days.
The next day, Qing'er wasted all her strength to make it clear to Xiaoyue that she wanted pen and ink, as well as paper. Xiao Yue stared at Qing'er with big eyes, but she didn't expect that this former beggar, who couldn't even speak clearly, would ask herself for pen and ink.
Out of surprise and curiosity, Xiao Yue quickly found Rong Hui, Rong Hui took out the pen and ink directly from the young master's study and threatened, as long as these are small things that the young master has, you just need to tell me that you can have them.
Originally, the two of them were still looking at each other to see what this girl could write in her pen, but Qing'er just held the rice paper and stared at them. A posture in which the enemy does not move, and I do not move.
After a while, both of them cut and dispersed with disdain on their faces. I thought this girl could really write, what a waste of feelings.
After the two of them left, Qing'er grinded and sat upright, carving carefully on rice paper.
Qing'er came to the door of Gongzi's study, and Yan Lanyan was still reading with the lamp. Rong Hui went in and reported, turned around and hooked his finger at himself. Qing'er handed the folded paper in her hand to Lan Yan with both hands, turned around and went back.
Lan Yan looked at the handwriting on the paper and his pupils shrank, it turned out to be the same as his own handwriting, but it looked much more immature, but the sharpness between the horizontal and vertical, the wind and bones between the hooks, were all his own deliberate thoughts. She seems to have obtained her own true biography, and if she practices more, I am afraid that this handwriting will be able to be confused with the truth.
"Stay together forever to repay the kindness of the son"
In just a few words, it seems weightless, but in fact, it condenses Qing'er's waiting and love for hundreds of years. It was also the first time she expressed her feelings to this person.
Rong Hui glanced at the side, the words were written quite large, and the font was quite similar to his own young master, as a person who was more familiar with the words of his son than his own face, his eyes focused a little and he knew that this level was not seven or eight years. But looking at the content of that word, I instantly forgot all the conjectures that the son who had flashed by just now carried himself on his back.
Rong Hui glared at him and said in horror: "'Forever together'? Hey! That's horrible. ”
A smile tugged at the corner of Lan Ash's mouth, and although the promise was a bit exaggerated, she felt that her heart was sincere.
The girl's wound was the first time I saw it and felt pitiful, but I didn't feel ugly or frightened like others, but occasionally imagined that there was no injury on her face.
But the strange thing is that every time I get close to that girl, I feel very close, like a person who has known him for a long time and is trustworthy, and there is a feeling of being guarded.
In the past few days of Ronghui's illness, Qing'er sent lunch to the school.
Originally, the children of the royal family were all going to study in Guozijian, but Qian Mu, the youngest former prime minister of the dynasty who was admired by thousands of people, and the first genius of the contemporary generation, was unwilling to teach in Guozijian, so he spread nine mats in the courtyard of his house, threatening to accept only nine disciples.
Nine apprentices were carefully selected from the hundreds of children who came to sign up.
Just the day after receiving the apprentices, his old friend Liu Zhiyuan led a group of people to build an eight-meter-long pavilion in his yard, how big is his yard!
And he also ridiculed himself with words, saying yes, you bad old man likes to bask in the sun alone, I don't want my precious grandson to suffer with you.
Mr. Qian Mu's temper came up at that time, and he threatened not to let himself know which one your precious grandson is, otherwise everyone else would be sheltered from the sun and rain in this broken pavilion, and he would stand outside. Besides, who's the bad old man!
No, Mr. Qian Mu took his beloved apprentice for five years, and he was reluctant to let him get a little sun.
However, not only that, the prince, who used to always fight with him in the court, also brought his precious son over a few days later, saying that his younger brother wanted to see his brother. Usually, when you go to the palace, you have to salute many people who don't want to see before you can see your brother.
What do you think I'm going to be? Brotherhood meeting? Are your children afraid of more etiquette when they learn etiquette since childhood?
Qian Mu put down the book and pointed at his students, who looked like a bearded man glaring: "Look at it, look at my apprentices, which one has the wealth and nobility of the palace!" ”
The little short legs had a pair of eyes in their eyes, and they had already squeezed their eyebrows at his brother in various ways, and if his father hadn't been holding his little hand, he would have pounced on him.
The prince didn't rush to answer Qian Mu's words, but as soon as he let go, the little guy threw himself on Yan Lanyan like a spring, and kissed his brother on the face.
Qian Mu's eyes straightened, this was the first time he was blind to the wrong person.
He only knew that his apprentice was full of heroism at a young age, and he was brilliant and pure, but he didn't expect him to be the son of King Zheng.
Qian Mu also forgot to be angry with that uninvited guest, just to feel sorry for his apprentice. Even if it's to be the son of the sixth prince who is not wrong, it is better than your father.
Qing'er didn't understand why her young master had such a large amount of food now, and he almost didn't break his arm when he brought this food box all the way.
Later, she learned that the reason was that the cooking skills of the master were too flattering, and the master relied on the meals smuggled from the palace to satisfy his hunger.
Although he didn't like King Zheng, the food in King Zheng's mansion and King Zheng's son were all on the tip of his heart.
Qing'er put the food on the table and retreated as usual.
In the past two days, she took over from Rong Hui, but she was much more leisurely, she swept the yard every day, and she didn't have to go to the Huanyi Fang, basically she had nothing to do after noon.
Therefore, in the past few days, there has been a light blue figure on the acacia tree in the corner of Mr. Qian's yard. The skillfulness of the movements is staggering, and a few classmates have tried a few times in private, but only one climbed up, or stepped on someone else's back.
The classmates naturally thought that this little girl must be crazy and infatuated with his master. Other people's girls were all wandering on the street, or waiting elsewhere, but she was the only one who dared to go up to Mr. Qian Mu's tree, and the tree was only five steps away from their lectures.
However, in fact, Qing'er was bullied by her peers since she was a child, and they were helpless after going up the tree, for Qing'er, the tree is much safer than the ground, not to mention that she was a cat in her previous life.
Because the branches and foliage on the tree were a little more lush, and Mr. was more involved in his lectures, a big living person was facing him on the tree, and Mr. Qian Mu didn't notice it for a few days.
Yan Mobai originally came to meet his brother as usual and rubbed the class by the way, and when the teacher was resting and drinking tea, he ran over and circled the tree several times, and then the little elf ran to Mr. Qian's side, lying on Mr. Qian Mu's desk, staring at him for a while before he said slowly: "Uncle Qian, there is a fairy sister living on your tree." After speaking, his eyes turned faintly in Qing'er's direction.
No, one leg is still in a trance underneath.
Then a group of people happily ran under the tree to wait for the show to begin, and Qing'er didn't know how to put his hands and feet at this time.
Fortunately, Mr. Qian Mu is another protagonist, although it seems that the consequences are serious, but it is much better than being overwhelmed like this.
Teacher Qian Mu pointed up at Qing'er with a ring ruler in his hand, and took out his usual most fierce expression and reprimanded: "You come down for me!" ”
Although I have never been beaten by this ruler, I know that it hurts when I look at the appearance of the students who have been beaten in the past few days. Qing'er's eyes shrank, she withdrew her gaze from the teacher, looked at Yan Lanyan pitifully and shook her head. In the past, when she was a cat, she often caused trouble, and she always asked Yun Xi for help, and tried it repeatedly.
At that time, if Yun Xi couldn't carry the pot, he would protect her in his arms, looking like she didn't understand anything, and I would bear everything for her.
Sure enough, Lan Shen confessed to Mr. Qian Mu and said, "Teacher, this is the girl next to the disciple, the disciple has no way to teach, and the disciple is willing to accept the punishment for her." ”
Qing'er looked at Mr. Qian Mu again, without the pity just now, a slightly overstepped look was transmitted from the corner of his eye, fortunately, Mr. Qian Mu couldn't read what Qing'er was thinking in his head. If he knew what she was muttering in her mind right now, "How's it going?" It's not my fault", it is estimated that Mr. Qian Mu will jump directly into the tree and beat her in anger.
Mr. Qian Mu saw the faint scar on the light veil, and it seemed that he was a poor person who didn't know where to pick it up. Then he glanced at the tree, turned to leave, and signaled not to pursue it.
Lan Ember stretched out his hand to Qing'er and smiled softly.
Originally, I had been worried about whether she would fall off for the past few days, but every time I saw her skillful skills up and down, as well as those random switching movements on the tree, I felt that I was too worried. And every time she went up the tree, she looked much more lively than before, so she didn't pay attention to her. Now that she has been discovered by the teacher, she always has to look at this place when she is fine, to see if she has fallen or left.
Qing'er naturally stretched out her hand and didn't show shyness. This kind of contact was just normal for Qing'er before. It was Lan Ash, whose outstretched hand received that touch of warmth, and when it touched that moving eye, his heart beat unobeyed.
As soon as Qing'er landed, the child next to her ran over and tilted his head to stare at him. The round eyes smiled like two meniscus, and he looked about nine years old.
"Is Sister Fairy very powerful?"
Qing'er half-squatted and patted his head gently, and gave him an acacia flower. The child took advantage of the situation and put the flower in his mouth and walked away triumphantly.
Lan Shen looked at Mo Bai's back and smiled: "That's the youngest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." My cousin, Mo Bai. ”
Qing'er nodded, plucked a flower from her hair and gave it to him.
Lan Ember took the acacia flower, and a similar image flashed, and something like this seemed to have happened, between the two of them.
"What are you doing, let me come over and ask you to come and give you a lecture?"
Lan Ember turned around and gave the teacher a big smile and hurried back to his place.
"You also go and sit next to your master, don't spread it out and let others think that only flowers grow on the trees of my Qian Mu family."
Qing'er knelt on the ground next to Yan Lanyan, and after a while, Yan Mobai asked for a cushion for herself, Yan Mobai also sat down next to Qing'er, and after a while, she directly lay on Qing'er's lap. He was still muttering: "This old man is as boring as a lecture." ”
Qing'er only said that he was a child and didn't care much, Yan Lanyan glanced at Mo Bai, and the next moment he took Mr. Qian Mu's words, and Yan Mobai was called by the teacher to go to the punishment station.
Qing'er looked at the side face under the sun, and finally, she got a little closer to him.
