Meng Xiaoran had never been to Dongfang Shuo's study, and there were people guarding not far from the study, and when she got close, he stopped them, "Girl, the son has ordered, no one is allowed to approach the study." ”

When Chunyue heard this, she immediately became anxious, and stepped forward and said, "Don't you see who our girl is?" Does anyone include her? I don't have the eyesight to see! ”

Seeing this, Meng Xiaoran immediately stopped her, "Okay, Chunyue, don't embarrass them." After speaking, he looked at the two of them and said, "I don't know if you can ask the two of you to report it?" ”

The two of them thought for a while and finally nodded, and then one of them walked over, knocked on the door and seemed to say something to the opposite, and after a while, the door of the study opened, and two people came out.

Meng Xiaoran saw it from a distance, one of them was Ye Chunqiu, and the other was very young, a young man, and there was a dark green around the right eye, which seemed to be a birthmark.

When the two walked outside, Ye Chunqiu just nodded slightly, but did not speak, Meng Xiaoran also returned the salute, and the young man with the birthmark also nodded at Meng Xiaoran very politely, and the two left.

At this time, the man who had just come over to report also came over and said, "Girl, Childe let you in." ”

Meng Xiaoran retracted his gaze, nodded and wanted to go in, Gu Yu and Chunyue in the back also stepped forward, but were stopped, "Childe only let the girl in, you two just wait outside." ”

"You ......" Chunyue had a hot temper, and was about to have a seizure, but was pulled by Gu Yu on the side, Meng Xiaoran didn't care, took the food box from Gu Yu's hand and walked in.

In the study, Dongfang Shuo was looking at the letter in his hand and was distracted, and when he saw Meng Xiaoran coming in, he immediately put the letter away, got up with a smile and greeted him.

"Why did you remember to come to my study to see me today? You've been here for so long, and you've never been here. Dongfang Shuo was actually very surprised to see her coming, she finally gradually took on the appearance of a hostess, and he was naturally happy.

What he didn't know was that Meng Xiaoran was also persuaded by the two maids to come over, in fact, she was reluctant to come in her heart.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Meng Xiaoran's beautiful face even more coquettish against the white and flawless white fox fur collar, and his heart also moved, even if he was used to seeing her beauty, he would still be occasionally amazed.

"This white fox's skin suits you perfectly." Dongfang Shuo looked at her and said, Meng Xiaoran smiled, the room was a little hot, she took off the cloak on her body, Dongfang Shuo stepped forward to take the cloak for her, put it on the shelf on the side, and then took her hand and walked to the couch on the side and sat down.

"I brought chicken soup, you can drink a little, you have been running around for a few days, and when you come back, you will have a good rest for a few days, and let the kitchen make more good ones for you to replenish your body." As she spoke, she walked to the side and took out the soup cup in the food box, scooped a bowl for Dongfang Shuo and put it in front of him.

Dongfang Shuo's heart warmed, and he looked at the chicken soup with a burst of aroma in front of him, and immediately picked up the soup spoon and drank it, and drank it after a while.

Seeing that he finished drinking the soup, Meng Xiaoran stood up, "You must still have a lot of things to do, I'll go back first, don't bother you, you pay attention to rest." ”

Dongfang Shuo does have a lot of things to do, even if she is reluctant to let her go, Meng Xiaoran took Gu Yuhe Chunyue and walked back, she suddenly stopped at the corner, Chunyue was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

"I remember there were several plum blossoms in the garden, so I'll go and see them."

"Girl, it's cold outside, why don't you wait until it's clear?" Gu Yu stepped forward and persuaded.

Meng Xiaoran shook his head, "You all go back first, leave me alone, I'll come back when I go and see." ”

"This ......" Gu Yu and Chunyue glanced at each other, when they were selected into the backyard, the son instructed them to follow the girl at all times, not to leave half a step, although they have been with the girl for so long, they have gradually understood the girl's temperament, knowing that she is a good master, both of them are a little embarrassed.

Meng Xiaoran looked at their expressions in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel disgusted in her heart, Dongfang Shuo asked them to take care of themselves, but she didn't let people leave her side at any time, was this taking care or surveillance? She's been here for more than a month, and it's like she's locked up in a deep house.

Meng Xiaoran didn't like to go out and walk around, but even so, she didn't like her personal freedom to be restricted, so she lowered her face for the first time in front of the two maids, and her voice didn't have any emotion, "Is it that my words can't be counted?" Or will you just listen to your son's orders? ”

Gu Yu and Chunyue were shocked when they heard this, and the two of them knelt on the ground one after another, "The girl is angry, the slave doesn't mean this......"

Meng Xiaoran watched them kneel on the ground, she couldn't help but have a headache, she couldn't stand this point in ancient times, she knelt down at every turn, she sighed, bent down to help the two of them up, and then said: "Okay, get up, I won't go, go back." ”

Being troubled like this, she was not interested in appreciating any plum blossoms anymore, so she simply went back, in the dead of night, Meng Xiaoran lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, she asked herself in her heart: This is the life you want to live in the future, are you really willing to live such a life all day long?

Meng Xiaoran has been here for almost two years, although she has not seen how the nobles in the inner courtyard of the deep palace live, but she has watched so many deep palace dramas before, and she has also seen how boring these harem women are, fighting for a man all day long, and even various conspiracies emerge one after another, she knows very well that this is not the life she wants.

Even if Dongfang Shuo is wholeheartedly devoted to her now, who can guarantee that he can always maintain his heart after sitting on the throne, there are too many involuntary bodies when he is in a high position, can she really bear to share the same man with many women?

No, she can't......

"What the hell am I going to do?" Meng Xiaoran whispered, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart for no reason.

She doesn't know why things are like this, it seems that she is trapped in a dead end, the relationship between her and Dongfang Shuo is real, she can't give up this love, but if she wants to give up her freedom and principles for this feeling, she doesn't seem to be able to do it, she really shouldn't have promised Dongfang Shuo to come back with him because of her soft heart, what should she do now?

This night, she tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep groggily when the sky was slightly bright, and when she woke up again, it was already bright outside, Meng Xiaoran sat up, looked at the light outside the window, and felt a little dazzling, she raised her hand to block it, and her head hurt very much, all because she had been thinking about not sleeping well last night.

"Girl, are you awake? Can slaves and maidservants come in and serve? ”

It was Gu Yu's voice, Meng Xiaoran pressed his forehead and temples, and said to the door, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and four maidens entered, some with basins and others with trays with toiletries on them.

Meng Xiaoran was dressing herself, Gu Yu and Chunyue immediately stepped forward to help when they saw this, and soon cleaned up for her, and after washing, breakfast was served, and only Gu Yu and Chunyue were waiting in the house.

Gu Yu looked at the green shadow in her eyes, so she asked, "Didn't the girl sleep well last night?" The slave and maid see that your face is not very good. ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, "Don't get in the way, just make up for it later." ”

Seeing this, Gu Yu didn't speak again, Meng Xiaoran had a bad appetite, and only ate a bowl of rice porridge and stopped, Chunyue and Gu Yu glanced at each other, and finally shook their heads, and called someone to come in and remove a table of breakfast.

Maybe it was because the two of them made Meng Xiaoran unhappy yesterday, Gu Yu and Chunyue were obviously a little cautious today, and Meng Xiaoran naturally felt it, but she didn't plan to say anything.

"Girl, it's a good day, and it's not cold outside, why don't you go to the garden with the slaves and maids?" Harutsuki asked with some flattery.

Meng Xiaoran felt funny in her heart, if she refused again, I was afraid that these two girls would be restless day and night, so she nodded, Gu Yu and Chunyue were happy, and the three of them went to the garden together.

Although the sun is out, the snow in the garden is still thick, and there is no sign of melting, Meng Xiaoran took a few deep breaths, a faint fragrance came, refreshing, she walked to the front, and saw a few red plums standing alone in the snow, and the red plums were covered with a thin layer of snow, which looked very good.

She couldn't help but step forward, grabbed a red plum branch, brushed away the snow on it, approached and gently smelled the plum blossom fragrance, and felt that the depression in her heart instantly improved a lot, the plum blossom is noble, independent in the snow, in such a cold winter, only the plum blossom will develop quietly, and the flower can be so strong, not to mention people?

Meng Xiaoran suddenly smiled, yes, she has been suffocated these days, so she has been thinking crankily, no matter when, she should be strong, and she should stick to her own heart.

She seemed to have made a decision, the whole person was much more relaxed, and the faint sadness that was originally shrouded in her body was gone, Gu Yu and Chunyue faintly noticed her changes, but they couldn't say anything, when the three of them went back, Chunyue was still holding a few red plums in her hand, saying that she was going back to insert them in a vase, so that the girl could see this red plum every day, and her mood would naturally improve.

They knew that Meng Xiaoran was happy, but she was in a good mood because she saw Hongmei, but they didn't know what had changed in her heart and what she had figured out.

Meng Xiaoran swept away her previous preoccupied appearance, once she figured it out, her whole person seemed to have changed, Dongfang Shuo went out to do errands again, she wanted to find him immediately to talk to him, but because he was not in the house, she could only give up.

"Gu Yu, Spring Moon, the weather is very good today, I want to go to the street, I haven't been shopping for a long time, I want to go to the Treasure Pavilion and Liuxiangzhai to see."

Gu Yu and Chunyue glanced at each other, in fact, Gongzi had also ordered not to let the girl out of the house, but the two of them had annoyed her by stopping the girl from going to the garden alone two days ago, and if she stopped it again today, I am afraid that the girl would not pay attention to them in the future.

Thinking like this, Gu Yu and Chunyue thought about getting out of the house, and after cleaning up, they followed Meng Xiaoran out of the house.
