Autumn is the season of harvest, and it is also the season of Lanxin's harvest of love.

It's Luo's birthday in a blink of an eye, Luo is very happy, and Shen Lanxin is even happier, since that day, Shen Lanxin is like all women in love, full of peach blossoms, and even laughter is full of fragrance.

In order to prepare this immortal pot for Luo's family, Shen Lanxin locked himself and Cuicui in the kitchen for a day and a night, and he stared in the kitchen all night long, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that he would have to start all over again if he made a mistake.

"What time has it been, why hasn't this kitchen been served? It's getting dark this day, is the fairy pot ready? Shen Huaifu sat at the table and waited for an hour, a little impatient.

Luo sat opposite her, looked at the door and said lightly: "I think it should be soon." ”

The fairy pot is not an ordinary dish, I don't know what Shen Lanxin will look like when he makes it, to be honest, Luo is looking forward to it.

The two chatted and drank tea and waited there.

About a cup of tea, I only heard a "dish is coming." Cuicui's voice came in from outside.

Luo, who was napping, suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and Shen Huaifu also put down the teacup and saw Cuicui walking in with vegetables in both hands.

"It's finally time to eat." Shen Huaifu muttered, and was about to move his chopsticks as he spoke.

"Don't move." Cuicui shouted loudly to stop.

Shen Huaifu was taken aback. "What for?"

"Miss's food hasn't been served yet, Miss said, no one is allowed to eat her food if it is not served." After saying that, Cuicui snorted, turned around and went out again.

Luo couldn't help laughing, Shen Huaifu glanced at her helplessly, and put down his chopsticks again.

In the end, after Cuicui had all the dishes served, it was Shen Lanxin's turn to appear.

"The dish is here, the authentic royal recipe, the fairy pot, welcome to taste." Shen Lan put the fairy pot in the middle of the dining table with a high spirit.

"This is the result of a day and a night of hard work, try it, give an evaluation." After speaking, Shen Lanxin filled Luo with a bowl and put it in front of her.

Roche stared at her suspiciously, "This girl really made this dish?" ”

In Shen Lan's extremely expectant eyes, Luo picked up the bowl and took a sip, then frowned, and tasted a thin piece for a while before slowly putting down the bowl and frowning.

"Is this really what you did?"

"Yes, is it delicious, how do you think of what you have eaten?" Shen Lanxin stared at Roche with a look of anticipation on his face.

She couldn't believe that the taste was exactly the same as what she had tasted back then, it was simply authentic, and it couldn't be too authentic.

"It's exactly the same taste as I was once in the day." Roche's expression can no longer be described as incredible.

Shen Huaifu frowned when he saw Luo's exaggerated expression, and said disdainfully: "Look at your expression as if you're eating dragon meat!" ”

Roche glanced at him, she had been studying for so many years, but she had never been able to make this taste and feeling, it was a surprise to her that her daughter would make this dish.

Shen Lanxin suddenly felt a sense of pride.

Roche was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't forget to ask her, "How do you know how to make this dish?" This is a palace secret. ”

"Uh...... I begged Gao Qian to help me get it." Shen Lan lied in his heart.

"Gao Qian, you mean King Xiang?" Roche was surprised.

Shen Lanxin nodded.

"No wonder." Roche Road.

At this time, there was a voice outside the door, "King Xiang has arrived." ”

This said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.

Gao Qian? How did he get here? Suddenly, a trace of doubt crossed Shen Lan's eyes.

As soon as they heard that King Xiang had arrived, everyone immediately went out to greet them.

"The grass people don't know that King Xiang is coming, and they are far away, so please forgive the prince." Shen Huaifu bowed his body and said.

As soon as King Xiang entered the door, he said with a smile on his face: "This king came here so late, didn't he bother you?" ”

Shen Huaifu smiled, "Lord Wang, it's our honor for you to come." ”

Shen Lanxin was surprised: "Gao Qian, why are you here?" ”

Gao Qian said with a smile: "I know that today is Mrs. Shen's birthday, so I specially brought a thin gift to celebrate my birthday, don't you blame me for not being invited?" ”

Luo was flattered when he heard this, but he didn't expect that a dignified prince would come to congratulate her, an ordinary woman, on her birthday.

hurriedly said: "Your Highness can come, the women are very honored. ”

Gao Qian smiled and said: "It's good if you don't have it, this is a small gift prepared by this king for Mrs. Shen, and I ask Mrs. to accept it." After speaking, Hachi stepped forward to send the congratulatory gift.

Shen Huaifu was flattered, "Your Highness is really polite, we are already very happy that you can come, how can we be embarrassed to accept your gift." ”

Seeing this scene, Shen Lan glanced at Gao Qian, and said, "Dad, mother, this is Gao Qian's intention, you can accept it." ”

When Luo saw that his daughter let him accept it, he had no choice but to take it and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Lan Xin wondered: "How do you know that my mother has a birthday today, and I have never mentioned it to you." ”

Gao Qian's smile was meaningful, "Just because you didn't mention it doesn't mean I don't know." ”

Shen Lan's heart was flattened.

Mrs. Shen said, "Don't stand here, come in and eat together." ”

After a few people sat down.

Shen Lan couldn't wait to give Gao Qian a bowl of immortal pot and put it in front of him.

"Let's try it, can it compare with those in your palace?"

Gao Qian sniffed, "It's so fragrant, it looks good, it must be delicious." ”

Shen Lanxin raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't eaten it yet, how do you know it's delicious." ”

Gao Qian smiled and said, "If you make it, it must be delicious." She knows Shen Lanxin's craftsmanship, so naturally she knows that it is delicious without eating.

Shen Lanxin pursed his lips and smiled.

Shen Huaifu frowned, he originally felt that there was something strange between Shen Lanxin and King Xiang, but now he felt even stronger.

Luo Zhi noticed that Shen Huaifu's expression was different, so he was also secretly observing the two.

At this time, Luo said: "I don't know if today's dishes are in line with His Royal Highness's taste, if not, let Lan Xin make some of your favorite food." ”

Gao Qian said lightly: "Mrs. Shen doesn't have to be polite, this king can eat anything." ”

At this time, Shen Lanxin interjected. "Mother, Gao Qian likes to eat meat, after speaking, he sandwiched a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl, I know this is your favorite." After speaking, he smiled sweetly at him.

Gao Qian then took another carrot and put it in her bowl.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Luo thought that King Xiang came to congratulate him on his birthday for no reason, not to mention, seeing that the preferences of the two of them knew each other, the relationship between these two people must not be simple.

Luo's gaze wandered around Lan Xin and Gao Qian's bodies, and then showed a thoughtful expression, and then smiled meaningfully as if he had guessed something.

After happily finishing the meal, we talked happily at the dinner table.

At this time, Gao Qian said: "It's not too early, this king should go back, so don't bother much." ”

Shen Huaifu and his wife were just about to get up.

Shen Lanxin hurriedly got up and said, "Dad, I'll just send him off." ”

Out of the door, the two stood on the side of the road.

Shen Lan smiled and said softly: "Thank you for congratulating my mother on her birthday today, she is very happy." ”

Gao Qian looked at her: "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "Of course I'm happier." ”

Gao Qian smiled and said, "I thought you would blame me for being uninvited." ”

"How so! Don't you know that I'm happy when I see you? Speaking of this, Shen Lanxin lowered his head and smiled?

The smile on Shen Lanxin's face has always been smiling since she first saw him, and it can be seen that she is really happy.

When Gao Qian heard this, he didn't know how excited he was, he calmed down and said to Lan Xin: "The day after tomorrow, the second brother will hold a celebration banquet in Taoyuan Villa, all of them are his own family, and you will go with me when the time comes." ”

Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "Celebration banquet? ”

Gao Qian nodded, "Well, the second brother went to Tanglin to visit the Tanglin Emperor this time!" He signed a friendship agreement with the Tanglin Emperor, hoping that there would never be a war between our two countries. ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but be surprised: "Really? That's really a great event, but this is a celebration banquet, and I'm afraid it's not good for you to take me with an outsider. ”

Gao Qian said disapprerovingly: "What's wrong, you are the future princess." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he said coquettishly: "What princess? Did I promise to marry you? ”

Gao Qian said proudly: "Sooner or later." ”

Shen Lan's face couldn't help but burn, and he lowered his head in shame.

He reached for her sideburns and looked tender, "Okay, it's too late, let's get in quickly." ”

Shen Lanxin nodded and said, "Well, be careful all the way." ”

After the two said goodbye, Shen Lan waved his hand at him reluctantly, and then turned around and went in.

When he returned to the front hall, he saw Luo Che looking out, and immediately asked, "Gone?" ”

Shen Lan said lightly: "Let's go!" ”

As soon as Luo Shi heard that he was gone, he couldn't wait to take her hand and said, "Mother asks you, what is the matter between you and King Xiang?" ”

Shen Huaifu also wanted to ask, but Luo took a step forward and asked first.

Luo questioned Shen Lanxin like a prisoner.

"What's going on?" Shen Lan pretended to be stupid, and then took a sip of the tea on the table.

Luo saw her sloppy with herself, so she said: "Don't think I'm old and dizzy, at the dinner table, the two of you are eyebrows." ”

Shen Lanxin almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea. frowned and said: "What do you mean by eyebrows." ”

Luo sneered, "My father and I can see clearly with four eyes, don't try to deny it, hurry up and recruit from the truth, not a word is allowed to be missed." ”

Shen Lanxin's eyes widened and said, "Not a word is allowed to be missed?" Then you have to talk about the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month? ”

"Even if it's the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Dog, I'll listen to it." Roche looked like he would not give up.

Shen Lanxin scratched his forehead, cleared his throat and said, "Actually, Gao Qian and I are just ......"

"What is it?" Luo Che looked expectant, and Shen Huaifu also pricked up his ears to listen.

Shen Lan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the serious looks of the two.

"That's it...... I won't tell you, huh, and not a word? I didn't say a word. After saying that, he swaggered back to his room.

Shen Huaifu suddenly laughed.

A trace of helplessness flashed on Roche's face, "You...... Look at this kid, why is there no right person! ”

Shen Huaifu said with a smile: "Don't ask, she won't say anything if she asks, and she doesn't miss a word, I don't think she mentioned a word." ”

When Luo heard this, he gave him a blank look, and then went back to the room.

The moonlight was hazy, the starlight was sparse, and Roche's birthday passed like this.

The next day.

Soho asked Shen Lanxin to go to the teahouse, and the two sisters hadn't seen each other for many days.

When Shen Lan's heart arrived, Soho was already waiting for her.

"Why did you come so late, I finished a cup of tea." Soho complained that she was late.

Shen Lan wiped his sweat as he said in his heart, "Oh, there are a lot of people today, and I can't be busy by myself to get rich, I came all the way, why did you suddenly remember to listen to the play?" After speaking, he looked towards the stage.

"Hey, what else can I do?" Soho clubbed her chin with her hands. "It's not like you help in the hospital every day, what about me, except for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is embroidery, it's really boring."

At this time, she noticed the sparkling ring on Shen Lanxin's hand.

I couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? When did you have an extra ring on your hand? Pretty good-looking? ”

"Really?" Shen Lanxin stretched out his hand at this time, "Do you also think of it?" It was given to me by Gao Qian. ”

Shen Lanxin's face couldn't hide his joy.

When she heard that it was given to her by Gao Qian, Su Ho's face froze slightly. "You promised him?"

"Hmm." Lan Xin nodded?

Soho didn't expect Lan Xin to really agree to him.

"Gao Qian said that the stone on this ring is called Sansheng Stone, and the person who owns it will be with the person he loves forever, Gao Qian really has a heart." Shen Lan said to himself, not noticing Soho's expression at all.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Soho listened to her words, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, but there was a coldness in her eyes.

said lightly: "It can be seen that he is very good to you." ”

At this time, Shen Lanxin's expression slowly bloomed like a flower, and she touched the ring on her hand and said, "He is really good to me." ”

Soho's eyes were fixed on the ring on her hand, her eyes full of jealousy, and the hand hidden under the table was already clenched into a fist.

For a long time, Shen Lan's heart shook in front of her eyes, "Hey, what do you think so intrigued?" ”

Soho came back to his senses, "Well, it's okay, by the way, do you have time the day after tomorrow?" Accompany me to the academy. ”

Shen Lanxin asked, "What are you doing in the academy?" ”

Soho said lightly: "Teacher Mo Yu has a few new piano scores, I want to borrow them." ”

Shen Lanxin agreed without hesitation, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered that Gao Qian was going to take her to the banquet in Taoyuan Villa the day after tomorrow.

Suddenly looked embarrassed: "No, Soho, I don't think I can accompany you anymore." ”

"Why?" Soho was puzzled, and just now he readily agreed, why did he change his words again.

Shen Lanxin said apologetically: "That's the case, the day after tomorrow, Gao Qian will take me to the celebration banquet of Taoyuan Villa, so I can't accompany you." ”

"Celebration feast?"

At this time, Su He pondered in her heart, maybe she could ask Lan Xin to take her, so that she could see King Xiang? She knew that if she wanted to see King Xiang, she had to follow Shen Lanxin's side.

Soho said tentatively: "Lan Xin, why don't you take me with you?" ”

"Take you?" Shen Lanxin didn't expect Soho to offer to go with her.

A glimmer of light flashed in Soho's eyes, "Yes, it is said that Taoyuan Villa is magnificent and beautiful, and I want to see it." ”

Shen Lan was puzzled: "But don't you have to go to the academy?" ”

"You can go to the academy whenever you want, not for a few days." For Soho, if you can see Gao Qian, you can not go to the academy.

Shen Lan hesitated.

Seeing Shen Lan's embarrassed look, Su He was a little displeased. "You see that I don't even have a confidant to talk to at home all day, and you are usually so busy, you don't bring me with you this time when you have such a good opportunity, or are you not a good sister?"

She knew that Shen Lan's heart was the most emotional, so she deliberately talked about this.

Shen Lan's face was embarrassed, "But ......"

In fact, it's not that Shen Lanxin doesn't want to take her, it's just that the people invited to this celebration banquet are Gao Qian's own family, and she herself is an outsider, so he is really embarrassed to talk to Gao Qian to take her again.

"But what? Have you forgotten your sister when you have Your Highness? Soho was a little angry.

When Shen Lan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, it's not." ”

"No, then you can take me with you." Soho is determined to go.

Shen Lan was helpless, she didn't want Soho to think that she was a person who valued sex and ignored friends, so she reluctantly agreed to her.

"Okay!"

As soon as Su He heard that Shen Lanxin agreed to take her, she was immediately very happy, held her hand and said happily: "Great, Lan Xin, you are really my good sister." ”

Three days later, the three of them set off.

Taoyuan Villa is not very far from Fengcheng, after a short day's journey, the three of them arrived at the periphery of Taoyuan Villa, although it is early autumn, but the fragrance of peach blossoms is still in the nose.

Taoyuan Villa is a royal Zhuangzi, used to receive foreign VIPs and vacations, the whole villa is in a peach blossom forest, covering a wide area, the surrounding environment is extremely beautiful, at a glance a piece of powder, the whole villa looks like a fairy palace.

The three got out of the carriage.

"It's a beautiful view." Shen Lan looked around and couldn't help but admire.

"Yes, the scenery is so beautiful outside, I think it must be even more beautiful inside." Soho was equally praised.

Gao Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "You'll know when you go in." ”

Come to the villa, the eye is a lot of pavilions and pavilions, garden rockery ponds, in front of a peach forest, this peach forest is quite large, three people walked for nearly two quarters of an hour before passing through this peach forest, and then appeared is the place of residence, Taoyuan Villa is divided into four major gardens, namely the East Peach Garden, the West Peach Garden, the South Peach Garden, and the North Peach Garden are located in the southeast and northwest directions.

Shen Lanxin and Soho lived in the North Peach Garden, Gao Qian and the princes lived in the South Peach Garden, and the princess and princess lived in the East Peach Garden.

Gao Qian led Shen Lanxin and the two to Beitaoyuan, and the two chose a house with a suite, which was very spacious and had two beds, which was very suitable for two people to live in.

"I have been in a carriage for most of the day, and after a while, people will prepare bath water and meals for you, and tomorrow the banquet will be held in Taoxinyuan, in order to prevent you from getting lost here, this is the map of Taoyuan Villa, you can rest and rest today."

Gao Qian gave some advice and went back to Nantaoyuan.

Shen Lanxin looked around the room, whether it was the bed, the dresser, or the table in the middle, the vases on the table, they all looked extremely luxurious, and the royal things were really the best.

At this time, the servants brought food and bath water for the two of them.

The dishes of the villa are very well matched, steamed pork, cucumber shrimp, four happy meatballs, vinegared loin and winter melon soup, four dishes and one soup, the food here is really good.

At this time, Shen Lanxin felt that he was a little hungry.

After drinking and eating, the two took a shower, cleaned up, and rested early.

It may be that he drank too much water before going to bed, until the third watch in the middle of the night, Shen Lanxin was awakened, and he got up and went to the thatched house.

She picked up a piece of clothing and put it on and went out, and was just about to go back after going to the hut, when she heard a strange sound, and she couldn't help but tremble, and listened carefully, it seemed to be a woman's cry.

A woman's cry, in the middle of the night, how can there be a woman's cry, it's too creepy, right? Her hairs stood on end.

How does this sound sound like it's coming from the West Peach Garden? The third watch doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, is it possible that the ghost is crying wolf? Shen Lan couldn't help but feel curious, so he quietly walked out of the North Peach Garden.

By the moonlight, Shen Lanxin walked in the direction of the voice, and the night was quiet, as if there was a sound of a needle falling.

"Who?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Shen Lan's heart couldn't help but turn over, and the voice from behind almost scared her to death.

She turned around and saw that it was King Qing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Black-faced God, you're going to die, I'm scared to death, why are you not sleeping here in the middle of the night?" She yelled at him angrily.

Gao Xu said coldly: "What else does this king want to ask you?" The third watch in the middle of the night is sneaky, is it a strange sound made by you? ”

It turned out that King Qing also heard that cry.

Shen Lan said incredulously. "You hear women crying, don't you? That's where the voice came from. He said and pointed in the direction of West Taoyuan.

King Qing glanced in that direction at her.

"Guess who's crying again? Could it be a ghost. Saying that, Shen Lanxin stretched out his little paw to her to scare him.

King Qing scoffed. "There are no ghosts in the world at all, but they are just rumors!"

"No ghosts?" Shen Lanxin put away his little hand, "How do you know that there are no ghosts in the world?" ”

King Qing disagreed, "If a person does something wrong, there will be a ghost in his heart." ”

Shen Lanxin pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Then tell me, whose cry is it, do you dare to go and see it?" ”

King Qing didn't think about it, and said directly: "Go and go, this king will be afraid that it won't work." After speaking, he walked in the direction of West Taoyuan, followed by Shen Lanxin.

The two came to the gate of the West Peach Garden, the sound was getting closer and closer, yes, the sound came from inside, but the door of the West Peach Garden was closed, and the two couldn't get in, so Shen Lanxin leaned on the door and listened carefully. At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

Shen Lan was puzzled: "Hey, why don't you cry?" Is it past time? ”

Gao Xu glanced at him, turned and left.

As soon as Shen Lanxin turned around, he saw that the person had already left, so he hurriedly chased after him. "Hey, where are you going?"

Gao Xu said lightly: "Go back to sleep." ”

"Don't check it out?" Shen Lanxin was a little unwilling to go back like this.

"Go yourself." Gao Xu said without looking back.

Shen Lanxin followed behind him and asked, "Hey, aren't you curious, why is there a woman's cry in the royal peach orchard for no reason, and you don't want to find out?" ”
