77: Explain clearly
Since the Tongxiang Hall was burned to ruins, the emperor ordered someone to rebuild it.
"Oh, it's better to have Zixia Palace, such a big fish pond is much more fun than Tongxiang Palace." Princess Yuanli lay on the railing of the fish pond and looked at the koi swimming around, and said excitedly.
Shen Lanxin sat on the swing under the acacia tree, and said leisurely: "I think it's better to have Tongxiang Palace, there are many flowers, and the yard is fragrant, but here it is fishy." ”
"Fishy?" When Yuan Li heard this, he sniffed with his nose, "Don't you think, why didn't I smell it?" ”
Shen Lanxin smiled, "Your nose is not bright, it seems that I have to transplant a few cloves and osmanthus flowers." ”
At this time, Jiang Yuan came to the Zixia Palace, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard bursts of laughter from the two girls.
"What do you say about the two beautiful girls? So happy? ”
Shen Lanxin looked over and saw Jiang Yuan's figure appear in her sight, he was walking towards this side with a gift in both hands and a fan on his waist.
"Anyway, it's the first time I've come to this Zixia Palace, and the scenery is good, but it's much stronger than Tongxiang Palace." Jiang Yuan said as he walked, his voice very loud.
Yuan Li leaned on the railing and glanced at him, and teased: "Is the gift in your hand for your sister?" ”
Jiang Yuan put the things in his hand on the table and said happily: "Yes, I came to see your sister on purpose." ”
Princess Yuanli frowned, and said to him, "Sister's leg injury has long been healed, you only came now, why did you go earlier?" ”
Shen Lanxin couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Yuan looked at Shen Lanxin with an innocent expression, "I'm wronged, I already knew that you were injured, but when I was coming, I happened to have something to go out, no, I just entered the palace as soon as I came back, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment." ”
Shen Lanxin looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, Yuan Li, don't tease him." ”
Princess Yuanli snorted and continued to look at her fish.
Jiang Yuan sat down on the stone bench next to Shen Lanxin, his face full of concern, "Cousin, how is your leg injury?" Is it better? ”
Shen Lan smiled in his heart: "It's already much better." ”
"It's fine if you're okay." As he spoke, he took out a delicate small box in his arms, pulled out her hand, and handed the box to hers. "Well, I'll give it to you."
"Give it to me? What is this? Shen Lan lowered his eyes and looked at the box in his hand.
Jiang Yuan waved his fan and said with a leisurely expression: "This is called anti-trace cream, which specializes in treating scars, and it is said to be very effective, I know that even if your leg is healed, it will leave scars, so I bought this for you!" ”
Shen Lanxin glanced at the things in his hand and said lightly: "I didn't expect that cousin, your mind is quite fine, needless to say, it must be very expensive, right?" ”
Jiang Yuan wrote lightly: "It's okay, it's only a thousand taels." ”
When Shen Lan heard this, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, such a small thing was actually a thousand taels, is it a rare treasure? "A thousand taels? It's so expensive, I can't take it. As he spoke, he pushed the thing back to him.
Jiang Yuan looked down at the anti-trace cream she returned, and did not reach out to take it, but asked, "Why don't you accept it, I bought it for you on purpose, and I won't take it back from what I gave away." He said it so firmly.
It's not that Shen Lanxin refuses to accept it, it's just that things are too valuable, she really doesn't want to accept other people's valuable things, last time it was earrings, this time it's anti-marking cream, every time it's more expensive, her head can't help but be a little bigger.
After thinking about it, she thought of a way, so she said: "Cousin, if you don't do it, I'll give you this money......"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yuan interrupted her angrily, "Cousin, aren't you scolding me?" I'll give you something, and you can pay me back, cousin, and you can do it. ”
Shen Lanxin saw that Jiang Yuan was a little annoyed, so he hurriedly said, "Cousin, I didn't mean that. ”
"I don't care what you mean, I won't take the money anyway, if you want it, don't throw it away."
Shen Lanxin saw that Jiang Yuan was really angry, and he was dumbfounded for a while, no wonder he was angry, he bought a gift for himself, but he wanted to give him money, thinking that he was indeed a little childish, thinking of this, Shen Lanxin slowly withdrew his hand.
lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Okay, I'll just accept it, thank you cousin." ”
When Jiang Yuan heard this, a handsome smile instantly appeared on his originally unhappy face, "Do you still need to thank you between you and me!" ”
At this moment, a breeze blew and an acacia flower fell from the tree on top of her head.
"Don't move," Jiang Yuan said suddenly.
Shen Lanxin didn't know what was going on, so he listened to his words and didn't move, Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand and took down the acacia on her head and then inserted it in her sideburns, only to feel that her delicate appearance, with a hehuan flower, looked like a fire in the world, just like a fairy.
He stared at her with burning eyes, and said softly, "This is beautiful." ”
Shen Lan inadvertently met his enthusiastic eyes, and then smiled faintly, looked away without a trace, and reached out to touch the acacia flower in his ear to hide his somewhat unnatural expression.
Jiang Yuan looked at her, almost dumbfounded.
Shen Lanxin coughed deliberately, his voice was a little displeased, "Cousin, don't look at me like this, okay?" ”
Jiang Yuan closed his gaze and said disapprenously: "I like you, of course I like to look at you." ”
Shen Lan was helpless, she glanced at Yuan Li not far away, and saw that she was having fun, "Cousin, there are so many girls around you, why do you like me?" You know I can't accept you! ”
Jiang Yuan suddenly lowered his eyes, and his expression became dark, "Even if you don't accept it, you can't stop me from liking you, right?" ”
Shen Lanxin felt that this Jiang Yuan was really stubborn, no matter what he said, he didn't say anything, it seemed that there were some things that should be told to him, so as not to waste time on herself, she felt that the relationship between brother and sister was the best relationship for the two of them.
She spoke slowly, "Cousin." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Yuan stared at her, knowing that she had something to say, so he listened carefully.
Shen Lanxin sat on the swing, looked ahead, and said lightly: "Cousin should know that I already have a sweetheart in my heart!" ”
Jiang Yuan glanced at her side face, and his expression fluctuated slightly. "You've told me that."
Shen Lanxin still looked ahead, and continued: "I told you, but do you know that I already have a marriage contract with him? Shen Lanxin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"What? Engagement? For a moment his breath was stagnant, and the news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him, and he didn't know it before, so he felt that he still had hope, but when she said those two words, it meant that he didn't even have the last hope.
Shen Lanxin looked at him and said seriously: "Yes, if I hadn't had an accident, I'm afraid we would have already gotten married." ”
Jiang Yuan's heart was indescribable, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Why are you telling me this?" Is it true that you don't give me any hope? ”
Shen Lanxin looked at him with blazing eyes, "Because I don't want to lose your cousin, I know that cousin you are a good person, but the person who has accompanied you through your life is not me after all, I am very grateful that you like me, but cousin, do you know?" Love will slowly become family affection when you get along well, and if you don't get along well, there will be nothing, but family affection is different, family affection will always be family affection, do you understand what I said? ”
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, just looked at her silently, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Yuan Shi once told me that you wouldn't like me, and that I would definitely regret it, hey...... It seems that his words are only fulfilled by one sentence, you will not like me, but I will not regret liking you! ”
"Although it makes me feel a little uncomfortable when you say such things to me, I still want to thank you for being honest with me, you know? Cousin, you're the first person I really like. ”
Listening to his words, Shen Lanxin's heart was a little sour, "Cousin, I'm sorry." ”
Jiang Yuan endured the bitterness in his heart, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Fool, why did you tell me I'm sorry, didn't you say it, family affection will never change, so I will always be your cousin, right?" As for my feelings for you...... You can say no, but I can't deceive my heart, so give me some time, and I'll do my best to turn this relationship into affection. ”
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, he can think like this, which can be regarded as an explanation of his feelings, after all, it takes time to forget a person from her heart, thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Listening, Jiang Yuan suddenly waved his fan and sighed, "Hey...... I really envy him, I'm curious about what kind of person he is, cousin, if you have a chance, you have to introduce me." ”
Shen Lanxin smiled slightly, "There must be a chance, but now we have more important things to do." ”
Jiang Yuan was stunned and said contemptuously: "You said those two dog men and women? ”
Shen Lanxin's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, there is already a rift between the two of them, and the time has come for us to do it." ”
Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed, "What are you going to do?" ”
Shen Lanxin glanced at Yuan Li not far away, looked at him again, and said coldly: "I plan to assassinate Guo Zheng on the night of the Qixi Festival." ”
Jiang Yuan said, "Qixi Festival, isn't that the day after tomorrow?" ”
Shen Lanxin nodded, "That's right, originally I wanted my eldest brother to do this matter, but after thinking about it, I think it's better for you to do it." ”
Jiang Yuan was stunned, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Shen Lanxin hooked his finger at him, Jiang Yuan leaned in, and Shen Lanxin told him the plan.
Jiang Yuan said in disbelief after hearing this, "That's it? ”
Shen Lanxin smiled faintly and said very firmly: "That's right, the easier it is to deal with the more cunning people are, if you do what I say, I guarantee that the next person to die will definitely be Concubine Qi." ”
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he immediately got up, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare now, you just wait for my good news." ”
After Jiang Yuan left, Princess Yuanli ran over and said, "Why did you leave so quickly?" ”
Shen Lan couldn't help but smile, "People saw that you only cared about watching the fish and didn't have time to take care of others, so they left." ”
Princess Yuanli heard that Shen Lanxin was making fun of her, so she curled her mouth, "Come on, my cousin looks at me like he sees air, even if I am willing to take care of him, he is too lazy to take care of me!" I saw that you were having a good conversation, so I didn't bother. ”
In this way, the two chatted for a while, Princess Yuanli went back, and then Shen Lanxin went to Fengyi Palace.
In a blink of an eye, the Qixi Festival has arrived, the weather is sunny on this day, the wind is beautiful, the weather is exceptionally good, and it is the most suitable for couples to go out shopping and take a walk, but Shen Lanxin stayed quietly in her Zixia Palace, as if today had nothing to do with her.
When night fell, the prince hurriedly came to the Zixia Palace, and saw that Shen Lanxin had prepared tea for him in the main hall, and was yawning while lying on the table waiting for him.
"Sister, you are so smart that you know I will come." When the prince entered the palace, he sat down on a chair and drank his tea.
Shen Lanxin sat up straight, and when he saw him finish drinking tea, he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly, how is it?" ”
The prince glanced at her, put down the teacup, and chuckled, "So anxious? Tell me where you got that love letter to me? ”
Shen Lan pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing: "Of course I got it from my father." ”
The crown prince's eyes widened, "Father? You're too bold, aren't you? went to steal the love letter that Concubine Qi gave to her father. ”
Shen Lanxin grinned, raised his eyebrows and said: "How dare I, I'm saying that I don't have that ability, it was the queen mother who helped me, as for how the queen mother got it, I don't know." ”
After hearing this, the crown prince couldn't help but nodded, "No wonder, only the queen mother knows where the father and emperor are these things!" ”
Suddenly, she patted the prince on the shoulder and reminded, "You haven't answered me yet, what's the matter?" ”
The prince chuckled, leaning towards her slightly, "I copied out a letter according to what you said, and secretly bought an elderly palace maid from Qifang Palace, and after the palace maid handed over the letter to Guo Zheng, Guo Zheng couldn't wait to leave the palace." ”
Shen Lan's thin lips curled and said, "Really? ”
The prince's body was straight, and he raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's true, I can still lie to you, I kept a close eye on the whole process, and I didn't dare to slack off at all." ”
Shen Lan was a little worried, and reminded: "Aren't you afraid that palace maid will bite you back?" ”
The prince dusted his sleeves leisurely and wrote lightly: "She doesn't have that chance!" ”
Shen Lan was surprised, "You killed her?" ”
The prince shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "That's not true, I gave her five hundred taels of silver and asked her to leave Dongyang overnight, and don't come back in this life, otherwise she will die, which is a good thing for her." ”
Shen Lanxin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, her enemies were Qi Guifei and Guo Zheng, and she didn't want to involve the innocent, so she was also relieved when she heard that the prince had let the palace maid out. "Great, I've already explained to the queen mother, and then it's up to Jiang Yuan
