24: Confession
Shen Lan said disapprerovingly: "I think what's the use, the important thing is that he likes it, if he doesn't like it, I'm afraid that his status is noble and his appearance is beautiful, and he will be indifferent." ”
"How do you know? Did he tell you anything? "Going around and around, Soho came to her words again.
"Why do you keep asking me this question?" Shen Lan was a little puzzled.
Su He smiled wryly and said: "I don't mean that, in fact, I mean that he is a prince, his status is noble, and the future princess must at least be a young lady of the official family, so she naturally has to be the right person." ”
Lan Xin disagreed, "I naturally know this." ”
But what Lan Xin didn't know was that in fact, Soho said this to her, so that one day she could know her identity.
New houses are under intense construction and have begun to take shape. And those victims are also busy without waiting, trying to move into new houses as soon as possible.
Shen Lanxin and Soho were not idle, they were busy in the room.
Soho was burning firewood, and the smoke choked her incessantly coughing, and she always had clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth, where had she ever done such rough work done by subordinates, and made herself dirty. If it weren't for King Xiang, she wouldn't have come to this kind of place if she was killed, and she would still cook for those people?
She covered her nose and fanned while adding firewood to it, and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Shen Lanxin said at this time: "Soho, I will make five-flower tea, can you send it to those villagers?" ”
"It's better for you to go, I'd better stay here and add firewood." Soho squatted on the ground and added firewood, and didn't look up at her.
In the past few days, this kind of disaster relief days on the front line, Soho has had enough, at first it was just to be able to contact King Xiang, but now inexplicably increased forty or fifty people, and the number of meals has also increased, and she can't retreat halfway, so she has to continue here, so she and Lan Xin are trapped in the room all day, and they have to get up before dawn every morning, and she only rests at night.
Shen Lanxin, who is also in the room, is much heavier than Suhe, and the food of hundreds of people is all in charge of her and another husband, she is the first to get up every day, and when she is almost busy, everyone gets up, but even so, Shen Lanxin is still very happy, she feels that she can contribute her own modest efforts to these people, and it is not in vain to live in the world, at least she feels that she is still useful.
"Alright then, I'll go." After speaking, Lan Xin washed his hands, wiped it again, and then picked up two buckets full of five-flower tea and went out leisurely, and then sent it to the wooden cart.
"Drink the five-flower tea." Shen Lanxin pushed the wooden cart to the construction site.
At this time, King Qing saw her pushing the cart towards him with difficulty. So he motioned for Ashin to come over and help.
Ashin understood and hurriedly ran over.
"Miss Shen, I'll help you." As he spoke, he pushed her forward.
"Thank you, Ashin!" Lan Xin said politely.
"Miss Shen, you are too polite." Ashin smiled, "You are responsible for the food of so many of us every day, not to mention, this will also send herbal tea to us, you are a girl's family is really difficult for you, we should thank you." ”
Shen Lanxin smiled: "It's not difficult, I can't help you with anything else, it's okay to cook for you, it's all for those people, so let's not thank you, it's too foreign." "Although Ashin is King Qing's retinue, he is not as indifferent and silent as his master, but he is a talkative person, I really don't understand how such a talkative person can live by King Qing's side for so long.
The two parked the car next to King Qing.
Shen Lanxin scooped a bowl of tea and went straight to King Qing, King Qing thought it was for him, and just as he was about to stretch out his hand, Lan Xin walked past him casually, and said to Ashin behind him: "Ashin, let's drink a bowl of five-flower tea first, clear the heat and remove the fire." ”
King Qing: "...... Black lines on the face
Ashin was stunned. King Qing who secretly glanced at him.
This prince hasn't drunk it first, how can he drink it, but Miss Shen personally sent it to herself, and walked in front of King Qing, this is not clear about being angry with the prince, it seems that this tea is not drunk or not, really, hey......
Seeing that Ashin didn't answer it for a long time, Shen Lanxin glanced at King Qing and raised his voice at the same time. "Won't he let you drink a bowl of herbal tea?"
At this time, King Qing turned around elegantly and said expressionlessly: "If someone brings you a drink, you can drink it, don't be so ignorant." ”
When King Qing said this, Ashin was immediately flattered, he quickly took it from Shen Lanxin's hand, drank it all in a hurry, and then returned the bowl to her.
"That's right." Shen Lanxin smiled and patted Ashin's shoulder.
Ashin: "......
"Ashin, let them rest for a while, drink a bowl of tea and do it." King Qing said again.
"Yes."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Lanxin scooped up a few bowls of herbal tea, and Ashin helped bring them up and sent them to the workers.
The workers were so hot that they were smoking, and when they saw Shen Lanxin and Ashin sending herbal tea, they stopped what they were doing, hurriedly took it, and poured it down with a gurgling face.
In this way, he went back and forth several times, and Shen Lan was grateful from the bottom of his heart that these people from Tai'an Town could come to help, and he smiled the whole time, while King Qing watched coldly from the sidelines, not knowing what to think.
"Ashin also brought a bowl to King Qing, Lord Wang, you can also taste it, Miss Shen's herbal tea is really delicious."
King Qing took it, tasted it, and then drank it all.
Two large vats of herbal tea quickly went halfway.
At this moment, Shen Lanxin accidentally stepped on a stone and broke his foot, and even the people with the bowl fell to the ground.
Her ankle was so painful that she didn't even have the strength to stand up, her brows furrowed, and she had to sit on the ground and rub her ankle.
At this moment, a pair of big hands as white as jade suddenly grabbed her right foot.
When she looked up, it turned out to be King Qing, and she was stunned. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Don't move." His tone was overbearing.
Shen Lanxin stopped his hand and scolded him. "Hey, you let go, you damn pervert."
King Qing grabbed her feet hard, "If you don't want to become lame in the future, don't move." King Qing's words were mixed with a hint of anger.
Shen Lan's heart trembled, thinking that he would become lame in the future, he was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to move, when he saw King Qing holding his feet, groping as if looking for acupuncture points, Shen Lan's heart suddenly had a strange emotion in his heart.
A place that has never been touched before, today was actually touched by the guy she hates the most, thinking of this, Shen Lanxin looked at King Qing's eyes and was suddenly full of hostility.
At this time, a "hold on" broke her thoughts, she didn't hear clearly, and when she wanted to ask again, she only heard a squeak, Shen Lan screamed in pain, he held her right foot and reset her, and then let go.
Then he glanced at Lan Xin, and said lightly: "It's okay, you'd better take a rest and don't move your feet." ”
Shen Lanxin moved his feet, the tingling sensation just now was gone, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Then, he picked him up in Shen Lan's exclamation.
"You...... Who told you to hold me? Shen Lanxin was frightened, she didn't expect that Gao Xu would dare to hug her.
She struggled to break free from his hands.
"Are you just going to sit down all the time? Or do you want someone to come and hug you? ”
Shen Lanxin glared at him angrily: "Are you sick?" What's the matter with you, you let me go quickly. ”
Gao Xu suddenly stopped, lowered his head, and stared at Shen Lanxin in his arms with a sly gaze.
"Do you really want to let go?"
"Let go, let go." Shen Lanxin said word by word.
Suddenly, as soon as his hands were loosened, Shen Lanxin felt that his whole body was going to be thrown out, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his neck.
"Hey, are you trying to knock me to death? Did you let people down like that? Her panicked face was filled with anger.
Gao Xu smiled slyly, "Didn't you tell this king to let go of you?" ”
Shen Lan glared at him angrily. "Black-faced God, you big pervert, you wait for this girl, this girl will not let you go."
At this time, Gao Qian walked out of the tent, and happened to see the intimate scene between the two, and suddenly his heart was sour.
At this time, King Qing frowned and said lightly, "This king is almost out of breath." ”
Shen Lan came back to her senses, and saw that her hands were clasping his neck hard, she quickly let go, her expression was a little unnatural.
In order to prevent her from falling, Gao Xu's hands tightened.
But Shen Lanxin's pretty face suddenly turned red quietly, you must know that she has never been hugged by a strange man since she was a child.
She pursed her lips, stared at him angrily, and said, "I tell you, don't think that I will be grateful to you if you saved me." ”
"This king knows you won't thank me." He looked indifferent, as if he knew she wouldn't thank him.
Shen Lan said incredulously, "Do you know that you still save me?" ”
Gao Xu's face was disdainful, and his tone was full of disgust: "This king didn't want to save you, but you made a contribution to this disaster relief, and you did your best so much, so this king saved you for the sake of your meritorious service, do you understand?" ”
"I don't understand." Shen Lanxin's tone was very stiff, "I'm not doing this to help you, don't put gold on your face."
King Qing said disapprerovingly: "No matter who you are here to help, in the end, it is also for the court and those disaster victims." Therefore, it is only natural for this king to save you, and we can be regarded as even. ”
"Flat?" Shen Lanxin sneered, "You can settle accounts, just pinch your foot casually, and then reveal the matter of the board?" I'm not that foolish. ”
Gao Xu disagreed, and said lightly: "Then when are you going to remember?"
"When will this revenge be remembered?" Quickly said with a pout.
Gao Xu's eyes were suddenly full of banter, and he said, "This king is curious about how you plan to avenge this revenge?" ”
"Why should I tell you?" Lan Xin said disdainfully.
Although, Lan Xin kept saying that he would take revenge, but he still didn't know how to take revenge.
Gao Xu carried her into the account, put her on the bed, and said to her before leaving: "Don't go to the ground today, I will send more people to the room, you have a good rest." "After that, he turned around and left."
Half a month later, the new house was finally built, the whole people cheered, and finally they could live in the new house, and the disaster relief operation in Zhenxi Village for nearly a month finally came to an end.
Shen Lanxin and Su He returned to Fengcheng in the same carriage with Gao Qian.
As soon as he entered Fengcheng, Shen Lanxin lifted the curtain and looked out, shouting, "Stop, stop." ”
Hearing Shen Lanxin's voice to stop, Xiao Ba, who was driving the car, hurriedly tightened the reins and parked the carriage on the side of the road.
"What's wrong, Lan Xin?" Gao Qian asked.
Shen Lanxin jumped out of the carriage and said to the two people in the carriage: "Gao Qian, Soho will be handed over to you, I will just walk back by myself." ”
Shen Lan wanted to match the two, so he left the two a chance to be alone.
But Gao Qian's face sank, and then he jumped out of the carriage.
"Your Highness......" Soho hurriedly shouted.
Gao Qian ignored her, but commanded in a cold voice. "Little Eight, be sure to send Miss Su home safely."
"Yes, lord." After Hachi answered, the long whip flicked, and the carriage continued to move forward.
Shen Lan looked at the carriage that was moving away, and then looked at him, with a confused expression. "I asked you to send Soho home, what are you doing with me?"
Gao Qian's face was calm, and his eyes were tightly locked on Lan Xin.
"Come with me!" As soon as he changed his previous Sven, he dragged Shen Lanxin over and turned around and left.
Shen Lanxin was taken aback by his sudden move, how could Gao Qian, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly be so angry.
"What are you doing, where are you taking me?" Shen Lanxin was dragged by him, and asked as he broke free.
Gao Qian turned a deaf ear to her words and didn't say a word, he didn't know if she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he liked her, but she always pushed him to other women, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He suppressed the anger in his heart and dragged her all the way to the suburbs.
Let Shen Lan's heart struggle, Gao Qian just didn't let go, but grabbed it tighter and tighter, Shen Lanxin was a little angry, she shook it hard and then shouted loudly: "Let go." ”
"Do you brothers like to drag people so much?" Shen Lanxin rubbed his wrists, his chest rose and fell, and he reprimanded unceremoniously.
Speaking of Gao Xu, he remembered the previous scene, his fists clenched, and his heart churned with vinegar.
"Let me ask you, why did you let me go to see Miss Su off, but you got out of the car yourself, what do you mean?" Gao Qian puffed and puffed, and his face was very ugly.
"I mean it! You don't appreciate it? Lan Xin said.
Gao Qian frowned, he restrained his emotions, he had never been so angry, he felt like he was disgusted by her, his eyes were deep and tightly staring at her, and said, "Do you want to help me pull the red thread so much?" ”
Lan Xin said disapprerovingly: "You are angry about this? ”
Gao Qian was helpless. "Haven't you thought that there might be someone in my heart?"
Lan Xin was shocked and opened his eyes wide: "Someone? I didn't hear you say it some time ago, who is it? Is it better than Soho? ”
"Yes, a thousand times better than her!" Gao Qian's answer was decisive and crisp.
Shen Lanxin sighed. "Really, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's so embarrassing! She was incredulous and continued to ask, "What about ...... Who's that girl? ”
Gao Qian looked at her intently, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”
Shen Lanxin was immediately shocked, opened his mouth, and glared at Gao Qian, "What did you say?" ”
Gao Qian's eyes were full of affection, "I mean the person I like is you, don't you feel anything these days?" ”
Shen Lanxin understood at this moment, and was so shocked that he took two steps back, and his face turned from red to white, and then from white to red.
She is a prince, and she is just an ordinary person who can't be ordinary anymore, and she can't recite poetry or do anything against her, what will she like about herself? He must be joking with himself.
"Impossible, impossible!" Shen Lan shook his head again and again. "You must be kidding, aren't we friends, how could you possibly like me?"
"Am I looking like I'm kidding?" His eyes were deep and his expression was serious.
yes, he doesn't look like he's joking.
Shen Lanxin took a step back, at a loss.
Gao Qian was a little disappointed when he saw her expression. "Am I always being amorous? You've never liked me, have you? ”
His naked questioning finally brought out the emotion in his potential to her!
Shen Lan's heart suddenly became squirming and shy. "I ......" Shen Lan wanted to deny it, but how could she not like a man as good as her?
"But, but I...... Never dared to think like that. Shen Lan stammered.
"Why?" Gao Qian stepped forward and approached her.
At this time, Lan Xin naturally remembered Su Ho's words, "You are a noble prince, I am just a common person, there is no such thing as a scholarly scholar and a prominent status, there is a difference between me and you." ”
"You know I don't care about that." Gao Qian's gaze is like the vast sea, deep and gentle.
Shen Lan was confused, and his heart was upset, "I want to think about it, my mind is so messy now......"
Shen Lanxin's look and gaze made Gao Qian's heart suddenly moved, so he stepped forward, grabbed her arms, and said softly:
"Promise me, go back and think about it."
Shen Lan was noncommittal, just staring at Gao Qian, his tender eyes seemed to melt her in an instant.
That night, Shen Lanxin had insomnia, tossing and turning all night without sleeping, and the next day he came to Suho with a pair of panda eyes.
Soho was taken aback by her appearance, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?" Haven't slept all night? ”
Lan Xin sighed, looking listless. "Hey, don't mention it."
"What's wrong?" Soho asked.
Shen Lanxin sat down in front of her and said in a low voice, "You know what? Gao Qian said she liked me. ”
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Soho's face suddenly froze.
Sure enough, King Xiang liked Lan Xin, and actually confessed to her.
"What about you...... Promised? Soho asked weakly.
Shen Lanxin shook his head, "Not yet, he asked me to think about it." ”
"And what do you mean to him?" Soho stared at her intently, tentatively.
"I don't know, you say I'm not beautiful, and I don't have ink in my belly, what does he like about me? I just can't figure it out. ”
Lan Xin's elbows were propped up on the table, and he held his chin in a daze.
She was right, she has no appearance, no talent, and no identity, how could she be favored by King Xiang, and she is so much better than her, he doesn't even look at it, she is really unwilling.
"Maybe he's just greedy for a moment of novelty." As he spoke, Soho sat down as well, a subtle hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
"Fresh?" Lan Xin straightened up slightly, her eyes widened.
Soho was secretly ignoring her. "Do you think, he's a prince, what kind of excellent woman has never been seen, just because you are different from those ladies, so he will have a temporary freshness for you, once this freshness passes, what do you think will happen to you?"
Su He deliberately scared her, in order to make her retreat, but Shen Lanxin really listened to it, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Will he be like that?" She muttered to herself.
"The world is as black as a crow, you know people and faces, you don't know your heart, you are too simple, and it is very easy to trust people." The words seemed to be for Shen Lan's sake, but in fact, Soho wanted to prevent the two of them from being together.
Shen Lanxin felt that what she said made some sense, and at the moment, she was really confused.
Soho observed her expression and hit the railroad while it was hot: "So, it's better for you to be friends." ”
Shen Lan was silent and did not answer. I only felt that my heart was even more chaotic than yesterday, so I simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.
When Shen Lanxin returned home, she saw Luo Che in the yard tending to a pot of gardenias she had just bought.
"Hey, mother, what kind of flower is this?" She came to Roche and sniffed.
Roche said with a smile: "This is called gardenia, I just bought it, it looks good!" ”
"Well, it's good-looking, I'll get it for you too." After speaking, Shen Lanxin also reached out to help take care of it.
The mother and daughter talked about homely things in front of the flower shelf.
"Mother, it's your birthday in a while, what do you want this year? Or what do you want? ”
Luo Che glanced at her and asked in a contemptuous tone, "Do you have any wishes that you can fulfill for me?" ”
In fact, Roche's biggest wish is to hope that Shen Lanxin can have a good home.
"Mother, what kind of eyes are you, do you look down on me, as long as you say a word, even the stars and moons in the sky will be picked for you." Shen Lan said to her with a smile in his heart.
Luo sighed lightly: "The stars and the moon are not necessary, if you can marry me, I will burn high incense." ”
Shen Lan's heart immediately collapsed when he heard this, "Mother, this is too difficult, you better change your wish." ”
"Another one?" Luo thought for a while, and then said, "Then the fairy cauldron." ”
Shen Lanxin: "......
Roche didn't think it was funny in her heart, she was deliberately teasing her. "What, this is hard for you again?"
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Shen Lanxin's eyes, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, isn't it just the fairy pot, no problem, I promise to bring the fairy pot to you on your birthday." ”
Roche looked up at the sky.
Shen Lanxin also looked up at the sky, and saw nothing for a long time, so he asked, "Mother, what are you looking at?" ”
Luo Che said lightly: "I'm looking to see if there are cows in the sky." ”
Shen Lanxin withdrew his gaze when he heard this, and looked at Roche with a pout, "You say I'm bragging?" ”
Luo didn't believe that no one in Fengcheng would be a fairy pot at all, "I mean you brag." ”
Shen Lan said disappreciatively: "You don't believe in pulling it, anyway, you just wait and see." ”
Originally, Luo was joking with her, but Na Cheng thought that she really agreed, Luo felt a little incredible, but seeing Shen Lanxin's determined look didn't look like a joke, so she had to wait and see if she really put the fairy pot in front of her on her birthday.
The tenth day of September is Luo's birthday, Shen Lanxin plans to set a pot of fairy pot for Luo, the so-called fairy pot is a stew made by ten flavors of medicinal herbs and ten kinds of mountain and sea delicacies that need to be secretly boiled for a day and a night, and it is a first-class nourishing famous dish in the palace.
It's not that Shen Lan is blowing, but she recently heard that there was a new palace cook in Yuquanlou, so she decisively agreed.
Just a few days before his birthday, Shen Lanxin came to the Yuquan Building. As soon as he walked into the door, he shouted at the counter: "Shopkeeper Tong, shopkeeper Tong?" ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper Tong lowered his head and made calculations, he didn't seem to hear his words.
"This is the menu for the tenth day of September."
Shen Lanxin slapped the menu on the counter, and suddenly startled the shopkeeper Tong who lowered his head to settle the account.
"Hey, I said Miss Shen, why are you walking silently, my heart can't stand you being so scared." Shopkeeper Tong patted his heart and squinted his eyes and said.
"I don't walk silently?" Shen Lanxin glared at himself and pointed at himself, "I'm almost beating gongs and drums, I think it's because you're old and deaf." ”
Shopkeeper Tong frowned, glanced at her, and then took a look at the menu, "Immortal pot?" Can't do it. After that, he put the menu on the table.
"Can't do it?" Shen Lanxin's eyes widened, "Didn't your cook come out of the palace?" ”
"It's from the palace, but it won't be a fairy pot."
"The imperial chef can't make a fairy pot? Who will believe it? I want to see you cooks. After speaking, Lan Xin walked quickly to the back kitchen.
Shopkeeper Tong hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Miss Shen, this cook really doesn't know how to immortal pots." ”
Shen Lan turned a deaf ear and went straight to the back kitchen.
She walked into the kitchen and saw a fat man chopping vegetables, Shen Lan looked him up and down in his heart, and asked, "You are the cook from the palace?" ”
