Shen Lan's heart was very excited. "I'm so happy to see you change your ways, isn't this what you call washing your hands?"

Qiao Yilong laughed loudly: "Almost." ”

Everyone laughed.

After laughing, Qiao Yilong spread his arms and asked in a low voice, "How do you see my dress?" ”

After speaking, he turned around in front of Shen Lanxin.

She was used to seeing his unkempt and unshaven image in the past, and today's dress is a bit ...... Shen Lan pinched his chin as if he was thinking.

"It's good to dress up, but it looks a little awkward, maybe I'm used to seeing you before."

Qiao Yilong smiled: "Now I'm a legitimate businessman, I can't show people like before anymore, so I can't scare the guests away." ”

Shen Lanxin folded his hands on his chest, "Well, it's a bit self-aware." Then she looked around again and asked, "When are you going to open?" ”

Qiao Yilong said: "I plan to open on the eighth day of the new year. ”

"The eighth day of the first month? Isn't there only three days left, so is there anything you need my help with? Lan Xin said.

Qiao Yilong said: "No, everything has been prepared, I plan to let the low cannon be the reception, Fang Si will be the shopkeeper, Yihu is responsible for the security here, I will be responsible for everything, and the other brothers will be responsible for the work of Xiao Er." ”

"I've hired a cook, but it's just ...... There is still a lack of a dishwasher in the kitchen. ”

"Washing the dishes?" Shen Lanxin thought of someone at this time, and immediately said, "I'll help you find the person who washes the dishes." ”

On the opening day, Shen Lanxin came to Sihai with a congratulatory gift.

On this day, there were a lot of people staying in the inn, and the stairwell kept getting up and down, and the dining place on the first floor was also full.

The low cannon outside the door kept shouting, Fang Si kept calculating in the counter, Qiao Yihu patrolled back and forth like a patrolman, and the other brothers were also sweating upstairs and downstairs.

Everyone was busy, but Qiao Yilong was missing, and Shen Lanxin didn't see his shadow for a long time.

So I came to the kitchen, and when I saw it, Qiao Yilong was chatting with Sister Zhen with a smile!

Shen Lanxin didn't bother when he saw that the two were chatting hotly, pursed his lips and smiled, and came to the counter.

Fang Si was looking down to settle the accounts, and when he looked up, "Huh? Miss Lanxin, you're here, the boss is in the kitchen. ”

Shen Lan said with a smile: "I know, I'm chatting with Sister Zhen, your boss's spring is coming." ”

Fang Si stopped his pen and said, "Spring? What spring? Isn't it spring now? ”

Shen Lanxin covered his mouth and smiled: "It's okay, you write yours." ”

At this time, Qiao Yilong came out of the kitchen.

"The Boss is out." Fang Si pointed to Qiao Yilong behind her.

Shen Lanxin turned around and called softly, "Big brother." ”

Qiao Yilong heard the sound and walked over to her. "Sister, you're here!

Shen Lan smiled and said meaningfully: "Big brother, you too, everyone is busy and dizzy, but you are busy chatting with Sister Zhen!" ”

Qiao Yilong smiled, "I just chatted a few words." ”

Shen Lanxin pursed his lips, "How about it, the person I found for you is good, right?" ”

Qiao Yilong couldn't help but praise: "Sister Zhen is quick with hands and feet, hard at work and diligent, she is really a good person." ”

Shen Lanxin sighed: "Sister Zhen is a good person, her bastard husband abandoned their mother and son, and she lived alone with the child, which is quite pitiful." ”

Qiao Yilong nodded, "A woman with a child is indeed quite pitiful, if I am allowed to see that bastard, I have to vent my anger for Sister Zhen." ”

Shen Lanxin pursed his lips and smiled again, "Oh, your congratulatory gift." After speaking, he stuffed a red envelope to him.

"Congratulatory gifts?" Qiao Yilong looked at the red envelope and didn't take it. "You can just come, why do you have to spend so much?"

"Hurry up and take it, it's not for you alone." Shen Lanxin urged.

Qiao Yilong reluctantly opened it and saw that it was a silver ticket of one hundred taels.

Surprised, "Sister, this ...... So much? I haven't paid back the 100 taels I received from you before, so ...... No, it's too much, and the eldest brother can't accept it. After saying that, he pushed the silver ticket back.

Shen Lanxin immediately sank his face and said, "Is it a brother and sister?" If it is, accept it, or pull it if it is not. ”

When Qiao Yilong heard this, he hurriedly took it back and muttered to himself: "Forget it, let's keep the account." ”

Shen Lan smiled proudly.

At this time, Princess Rongchang entered the palace and was talking to the emperor.

The emperor sat in front of the dragon chair and said with a smile: "My aunt hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and I miss it very much." ”

Princess Rongchang said with a smile: "This palace also misses the emperor, so I came to the palace today to visit." ”

The emperor said: "Thank you aunt for remembering." "Speaking of this, the emperor thought to himself, Princess Rongchang rarely enters the palace on weekdays, presumably there must be something going on this time, thinking of this, he probably guessed a few points." My aunt must have come here to visit me for something other than me, right? ”

Princess Rongchang smiled faintly: "The emperor is wise, and he can't hide anything from the emperor's eyes." ”

"That's right, this palace is here to ask the emperor for a favor today."

"Favors?" Sure enough, it was for King Qing's business, and the emperor's eyebrows raised, "The eldest aunt is for King Qing's business?" ”

Princess Rongchang said: "That's right, this palace is here for the marriage of the fifth child." ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, "Could it be that the eldest aunt also thinks that I have done something wrong in this matter?" ”

Princess Rongchang said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Let's not say right or wrong, this palace wants to know why the emperor disagrees." ”

The emperor said: "King Qing's status is noble, and I want to point out a commoner to King Qing as his wife, not to mention that King Qing himself has no face, even the royal face is dull, if I agree, wouldn't it make people think that my Nanling royal family chooses a concubine too casually?" It's really damaging to the royal face. ”

"Damaging royal face?" Princess Rongchang didn't have this kind of thought in her bones, so when she heard this, she couldn't help but be a little unhappy to listen to it.

"The prince is different from the emperor, according to what the emperor said, the emperor married the queen mother back then, which also damaged the royal face?" Princess Rongchang has always liked to get straight to the point, since she promised King Qing, she must hit the nail on the head when she speaks, otherwise with the emperor's temperament, it is difficult to move him in general words.

The emperor's face changed, and he knew that he was speechless.

When the first emperor was still the prince, the queen mother was a singer in the palace, and then she was accepted as a side concubine by the first emperor, and gave birth to the current emperor, and then the first emperor ascended the throne and named her a concubine naturally, until the current emperor ascended the throne, she naturally became the queen mother.

Originally, this matter was not allowed to be mentioned in the palace, but who is Princess Rongchang, I am afraid that even the Queen Mother will give her three points of thin noodles when she sees it, besides, it is obvious that the emperor does not choose to say anything, and she has to bring up the old matter again.

The atmosphere is starting to get a little cohesive.

Princess Rongchang watched the emperor's expression change, and her words softened a little.

"Your Majesty, not to mention the Queen Mother, take the fourth child as an example, their will was issued by you personally, and the identity of the fourth princess is probably not as good as the fifth child's sweetheart! How did it become a detriment to the royal face when it came to the fifth child, your majesty, don't favor one over the other. ”

The emperor knows that he is indeed favoring these brothers, especially Gao Xu and Gao Qian, as for the other brothers, he doesn't care who he marries, as long as the family background is innocent, he has already looked for a good concubine candidate for Gao Qian, but he asked for a marriage with the daughter of the servant, originally he didn't want to respond to this will, but the other party actually had an heir, so out of helplessness, he agreed, as for Gao Xu, some time ago, the Marquis of Zhenguo hinted to him that everything would respect his daughter's wishes, These words are nothing more than a break in the marriage of the two.

Princess Rongchang saw that the emperor had not responded for a long time, so she asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you listening?" ”

The emperor returned to normal in an instant. "I don't favor one over the other, I'm just thinking about the royal family."

Princess Rongchang said disapprovingly: "But the palace didn't see that the emperor treated everyone equally, marrying a wife and being a grudge couple, does the emperor really want to break up the two of them?" ”

The emperor was indifferent: "I didn't break them up, although I didn't agree with her to be King Qing's concubine, but I didn't say that the side concubine can't!" ”

"Side concubine?" Princess Rongchang suddenly laughed a few times and shook her head, "Your Majesty, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, haven't you made a queen so far to fulfill yourself?" ”

The emperor was stunned, but he didn't expect Princess Rongchang to suddenly mention this stubble, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

When he was still the prince, he went out of the palace to play, and met a female doctor of the people by chance, and fell in love with her at first sight, when the two of them made a private lifelong agreement, the emperor's marriage will came down, he rejected the emperor because of this girl, the prince refused the holy decree This is still the first time in the world, the emperor was angry, and later learned that the prince had already had someone outside, so he reprimanded him for a private life with a civilian woman, so he sent someone to kill the girl, the prince knew that the thunder was furious, and he didn't eat or drink, After a hunger strike, the emperor finally couldn't resist him and took back his will, but the girl never came back.

Since then, the prince has never been devoted to any woman, and now the queen's position is vacant, and he also gave an explanation to the girl back then, maybe from that moment on, the princes are like being poisoned, but they all like the common people, so this is why he opposes Gao Xu and that Shen Lanxin together, looking at that Shen Lanxin, he can't help but think of the incident back then.

The emperor's face was ugly.

Princess Rongchang continued to speak: "Your Majesty, you have set a precedent, if you do not agree to the marriage of the fifth child, I am afraid that others will think that you favor one over the other and do things unfairly." ”

Princess Rongchang's every sentence was sonorous and powerful.

The emperor sat there without saying a word for a long time

Princess Rongchang continued: "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, not to mention that the two of them are in love with each other, the so-called daughter is easy to get, and true love is difficult to buy, this palace thinks, Your Majesty, you won't be so unreasonable, right?" ”

After speaking, he got up, leaned down and said respectfully: "Please also ask the emperor to sell a favor in the palace and fulfill the two of them." ”

A moment of silence.

The Emperor finally spoke, "That's it, I just promised." ”

Princess Rongchang was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show it, but replied heavily: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Walking out of the main hall, Princess Rongchang breathed a sigh of relief, the fifth child, the fifth child, this palace is really open for you.

A few days later, the Shen family received the holy decree of marriage.

The whole family was very happy, especially Shen Lanxin, who was indescribably excited.

The two came to the small river in the suburbs, sat on the grass, and snuggled up to each other.

Shen Lan quietly leaned on his arms, and couldn't help but recall the scene when the two first met, feeling that God was really joking, she didn't expect that the annoying black-faced god at the beginning would now be about to become his husband.

She couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Gao Xu tilted his head and asked her.

Shen Lan smiled sweetly: "I was laughing at when we first met." ”

When Gao Xu heard her say this, he couldn't help but flash the picture of the first time in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.

He muttered, "Shall we get married next month?" ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he suddenly sat up straight and looked at him. "Next month?"

Gao Xu's expression was full of joy, "Well, the king is optimistic about the future, how about the second year of junior high school?" ”

Lan Xin: "......

He even looks good about his life? But there is only half a month left until May.

Shen Lan's expression was natural: "Next month is too fast, will the time be too rushed?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a trace of eagerness suddenly appeared on Gao Xu's face, "This king doesn't want to wait!" I can't wait to marry you tomorrow. ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Lanxin blushed slightly, and pouted: "Why don't you say that you will get married now?" ”

"Well, right now, before she could respond, he threw her to the grass." Let's go to the cave right here! He didn't give Shen Lanxin a chance to speak, and kissed her fiercely on the mouth.

Shen Lanxin's heart was chaotic again, he kissed her again, every time he was attacked by his domineering and gentle attack, he had no ability to resist, so she disarmed and surrendered, what could she do if she didn't surrender, she couldn't escape.

Her face was as red as an apple.

Gao Xu's burning gaze locked on her crimson little face, and quipped: "This is shy, what can I do if I want a cave room?" ”

Shen Lan said coquettishly: "I hate it, who wants to have a room with you?" ”

He couldn't be happier.

Gao Xu smiled slyly. "Don't forget that we've all already visited the church, and you're sending this king a cave room."

Shen Lan's face turned green, "When did you become such a hooligan, you always took advantage of me." ”

Gao Xu said as a matter of course: "You are the future lady of this king, and it is natural to take advantage of you." ”

Shen Lan pouted in his heart: "Hmph, it's obviously a quibble." ”

Suddenly, Gao Xu said with a serious face: "I'm serious, I don't want to dream a lot at night." ”

At this time, Shen Lanxin put his arms around his neck and said seriously: "How could it be? The decrees have come down, and I will not run. ”

Gao Xu stroked her cheek and said softly, "I didn't mean that. ”

Shen Lanxin understood that he was referring to Gao Qian, and she laughed lightly: "Are you afraid that I will be robbed?" ”

His tone was domineering and confident, "You're mine, no one can snatch you, it's just... He still doesn't give up on you, I'm afraid he will hurt you. ”

Shen Lan disagreed: "I'm not afraid, with you, how can I be hurt by others?" With that, she smiled.

Yes, with him, no one can hurt her, Gao Xu smiled at her, gradually faded his smile, and said, "Do you remember the conditions you promised me?" ”

"Hmm."

At this time, Gao Xu stared at her and said with a serious face: "This condition is that I want you to always be by my side." ”

Shen Lan's heart drooped, smiled, and said softly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Gao Xu looked at her, couldn't help but kiss her forehead, and said softly: "If you have no opinion, then it's decided, we will get married on the second day of the next month." Gao Xu said softly.

Shen Lanxin didn't respond, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted to keep her by his side completely. So Gao Xu didn't want to wait any longer

Gao Xu sent Shen Lanxin home and went home.

As soon as he came to the medical hall, Facai said, "Miss, you're back, Brother Qiao came to look for you just now." ”

"Big brother." With that, she turned around and went out again.

She came to Sihai as her home and saw Qiao Yilong greeting guests.

Shen Lanxin came to an empty seat and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat there waiting for him.

After a while, Qiao Yilong came over after he was busy and brought her a plate of peanuts by the way.

"I went to look for you just now, and you're not home."

Shen Lanxin took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Well, what are you looking for me?" ”

Qiao Yilong said in a low voice: "I heard that you were given marriage by the emperor?" Is it true that you want to marry that King Qing? ”

His appearance is mysterious.

As soon as he heard that he was going to marry Gao Xu, the corners of Shen Lanxin's mouth couldn't help but hook.

Qiao Yilong looked at her smiling face, and understood that it was true, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Sister, you are going to become a princess." ”

Shen Lan nodded with his head down, unable to hide his joy.

Qiao Yilong's face was suddenly full of spring breeze, "I didn't expect that I, Qiao Yilong, actually had a princess sister!" Looks like I'm going to go up in a big way! While he was happy, he didn't forget to ask her, "Is the date set?" ”

Shen Lanxin smiled and nodded: "It's decided, it's the second day of the next month." ”

When Qiao Yilong heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "Great, don't forget to invite us to drink the wedding wine when the time comes." ”

Shen Lanxin couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, you can't forget a few of you." ”

After noon, the number of people eating gradually decreased.

Shen Lanxin suddenly felt so quiet, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so quiet today?" ”

Qiao Yilong was puzzled: "Quiet? ”

Shen Lan subconsciously swept around, only to find that the low cannon was not there, no wonder he felt so quiet, usually, the low cannon had to go out from time to time to shout a few times, why did he disappear today?

"Where's the cannon?"

Qiao Yilong suddenly realized, "You said that the short cannon, his voice is a little dry these days, so he went to buy chrysanthemum tea, this will be back soon!" ”

The low cannon was holding the chrysanthemum tea, walking back, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him, that person had a big belly, take a closer look, isn't that the sister of Miss Lanxin?

So the low cannon politely shouted at her: "Miss Shen, Miss Shen, ...... Miss Shen?" ”

But after shouting for a long time, Lan Xin's sister didn't seem to hear it.

The low cannon sighed, he tied up someone else's sister at the beginning, and it was strange that he would ignore him, so he pretended not to hear it.

The cannon returned to the inn.

"Big brother, I'm back!" The dwarf cannon walked in with a bag of chrysanthemum tea.

Shen Lanxin smiled: "Low cannon, we just talked about you, this cold voice has not lost your shouting, and I still feel very quiet." ”

The dwarf cannon looked at it, "Huh? Miss Lanxin, you are also here, it was a coincidence just now, I saw your sister on the street just now. ”

Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "My sister? ”

The cannon nodded, "Ah, I called her, but she ignored me!" ”

Shen Lan was confused when he heard this, and his expression was slightly suspicious, "I don't have a sister?" ”

"You don't have a sister?" The low cannon looked at Shen Lanxin with a confused expression, and then glanced at Qiao Yilong.

Qiao Yilong also looked confused, looking at the two of them.

Shen Lanxin sighed lightly: "I wish I had a sister, but unfortunately my mother only gave birth to me." ”

The dwarf cannon was blinded at this time, "Won't it?" The woman said she was your sister, so I gave her the kidnapping letter. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Lan remembered violently, she forgot about this stubble if she didn't mention it.

She said eagerly: "Let me ask you, who did you give the kidnapping letter to in the first place?" ”

Seeing her serious appearance, the low cannon replied seriously: "It's a woman with a big belly, and that person claims to be your sister." ”

"Big belly......" she muttered to herself, suddenly feeling like she had been pricked by a needle.

"Soho?" She was extremely shocked, and she asked, "She told you that she is my sister?" ”

The dwarf nodded: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to give her the letter!" ”

Shen Lanxin's face changed in an instant, and it became ugly.

Qiao Yilong saw that her face was extremely ugly, and he was also worried.

Shen Lan looked indifferent, and said to himself: "No wonder my father and mother didn't receive the letter, it turned out that she detained it, but why did she harm me?" ”

"Sister, are you saying that someone pretended to be your sister and secretly withheld the letter, who is that person? She hurt you so much, I'll teach her a lesson. Saying that, Qiao Yilong got up angrily, but was stopped by Shen Lanxin.

"Sit down, I'm going to ask her about it myself." After speaking, she went to Xiangwangfu angrily.

Dongmei had just returned to the mansion with Soho in her arms, and Shen Lan came to the Xiangwang Mansion with her heart in her hands.

"Miss, after walking around for a while, you are also tired, let's rest first." Dongmei helped Soho and sat down in a chair.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Soho asked.

At this time, a servant came to say, "Princess, there is a girl who insists on breaking into the palace, and she says she wants to see you. ”

"A girl?" Soho was slightly puzzled, and then said, "Go out and have a look." ”

Dongmei came to the gate of the palace with Soho again.

"Get out of the way, I want to see Soho." Shen Lan's heart was about to break in.

Su Ho thought it was who, it turned out to be Shen Lanxin, and ordered, "Let her in." ”

Soho's voice reached Shen Lanxin's ears.

Several of the family members received the order, and suddenly dispersed,

Shen Lan rampaged into the palace and came to Soho. Without hesitation, he gave her a slap in the face, and Suho was caught off guard.

A trace of shock passed over the faces of the people around them.

Dongmei shouted: "You are presumptuous, you dare to beat the princess." ”

Su Ho was at a loss in his heart, glared at her angrily and said, "Shen Lanxin, why are you beating me?" ”

Shen Lanxin looked indifferent: "Why did you beat you, you know it very well in your heart." ”

Seeing her angry appearance, Soho couldn't help but be shocked, and had a bad premonition, so he ordered everyone: "You all go down." ”

Soho sent all the people and others away.

Su Ho's eyes flickered, and he said weakly: "What do you say this palace doesn't understand?" ”

Shen Lan endured the anger in his heart and asked calmly, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Faced with her questioning, Soho was a little puzzled.

frowned and said, "What did this palace do?" ”

Shen Lan stared at her with a dead heart. "You're still pretending, you withheld the kidnapping letter, and you spread the rumors."

As soon as these words came out, Soho was like a frightened bird, and his face changed instantly.

At this time, Gao Qian in the study heard the sound and walked out, and said with a calm face: "What's so noisy, this king can't do things quietly if he wants to?" ”

As soon as Gao Qian came out, Soho was even more frightened, if this matter was known by Gao Qian, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gao Qian saw that it was Lan Xin, and his face turned cold to joy in an instant.

"Lan Xin, are you here to find me?"

Soho's eyes flickered, cramped and uneasy! Hurriedly said: "Lan Xin is here to find me, Your Highness, since you are doing something, we will not bother you, let's go to the room to talk." After speaking, he pulled Shen Lanxin to his room and closed the door.

Shen Lan said coldly: "What? Weak heart? ”

Soho was dumbfounded when she was forced to ask, and she calmed down, even if she knew the truth, she would deny it.

Su Ho slowly spoke: "Lan Xin, I think you misunderstood, how did I know about your kidnapping, and how did I spread rumors?" ”

Her voice trembled a little.

Really obsessed, Shen Lan gritted his teeth, with anger on his face, and said coldly: "You are still lying, the low cannon who delivered the letter recognized you on the street today, if he hadn't mentioned it to me, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark by you." ”

"Soho, I asked myself if I was sorry for you! Why are you hurting me? We used to be the best sisters, and I didn't hate you even when you snatched Gao Qian, but what about you, why did you treat me like this? ”

Shen Lan stared at her in his heart, his eyes were a little red, and he was sad and angry.

Su Ho said with an innocent expression: "Lan Xin, you really misunderstood, he really recognized the wrong person, don't you know who I am after so many years, how could I do such a hurtful thing." ”

Shen Lan sneered in her heart, she has always said good things, but she did things to hurt her, but this time she wanted to hurt her, can she still believe her?

Shen Lanxin sneered: "Since you are so upright, do you dare to go out and say it again in front of everyone?" ”

Soho knew that he didn't have the guts, so he was speechless.

"I'm so disappointed in you." Shen Lan coldly dropped a sentence and went out without looking back.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gao Qian standing at the door waiting for her.

Shen Lan's heart fluttered, and he glanced back at Soho and left.
