"Old woman, do you know how to enter the palace?" An Ran asked, this was her first time in Beichu, and she really didn't know the rules of Beichu.

"Enter the palace?" the old woman muttered in surprise: "How can you enter the palace so easily now, let alone now, even when the first emperor was still in the past, the palace was heavily guarded, not to mention that now, the civil strife has just been calmed down, and the new emperor is preparing to ascend the throne, if you want to enter, it will be even more difficult." ”

The palace has always been heavily guarded, and if the common people want to enter the palace, it will be impossible, and they may be killed as assassins.

Hearing the old woman's words, An Ran's heart was cold, in fact, what the old woman said also made sense. This is true not only of Beichu, but also of Dasheng.

Then if she wants to see Nan Lingye, wouldn't there be no hope.

If this hadn't happened, she could have met the new emperor as the daughter of the An family, but now, this identity has long ceased to exist.

When An Ran didn't know what to do, the old woman asked: "Girl, if you want to go to your brother, it will definitely not work to go to the palace, or you can go to the Internal Affairs Office and ask which department your brother is working in, and then use some money to dredge it up and let them spread the news." ”

Such a transaction is naturally known to An Ran, who has lived in a family since she was a child, but what she is looking for is not her brother who is on an errand, but the new emperor of Northern Chu today. And she must not let others know about this matter, otherwise, it may lead to unnecessary trouble.

An Ran pursed the corners of her mouth lightly and bowed her head slightly, indicating that she knew.

After thinking about it, An Ran thought of something and asked, "Old woman, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he should still go to the altar to worship the sky, right?"

She knew that when the new emperors of Northern Chu ascended the throne, they would pick an auspicious day to go to the altar to worship the sky, and when the time came, Nan Lingye would go to the altar in a sedan chair all the way, so that she could see him.

The old woman nodded and said, "Yes, the day after tomorrow is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne and goes to worship the sky." ”

Hearing this, An Ran's face was obviously relieved, revealing a reassuring smile, the day after tomorrow, she would be able to see her Ye Lang.

"Rest early, old woman. An Ran said.

After sending the old man away, An Ran took off her coat, cloak and shoes and socks, and lay on the bed, she didn't feel a little sleepy.

In addition to thinking that she would be able to see Nan Lingye the day after tomorrow, she was excited, many things were hovering in her heart, about Nan Lingye's return to Beichu, she had a lot of doubts in her heart, but no matter what, she couldn't think through it now, all of this could only be understood after seeing Nan Lingye.

An Ran told herself in her heart that she would rest early, and she would enter the city tomorrow, first of all, she had to find an inn to live in, as for Xiaobai, she still had to leave it on the snowy mountains in the suburbs, and she couldn't bring it in, and it was really inappropriate to bring a snow leopard into the city alone, besides, she was still a woman.

Slowly closing his eyes, An Ran's eyebrows frowned slightly, with a lot of uneasiness.

Early the next morning, An Ran got up, said hello to the two old people, thanked them for taking them in, and left the farmhouse.

Not long after she walked out, she wanted to go to the foot of the mountain to find Xiaobai's trace, but before she reached the foot of the mountain, she heard a light footstep sound from behind, and when she looked back, it was Xiaobai running towards her.

How could Xiaobai follow her? At this time, shouldn't it be on the mountain?

Until Xiaobai ran in front of her, An Ran squatted down, hugged it lightly, touched its head, and said, "Why are you here?"

After thinking about it carefully, maybe Xiaobai has been guarding outside the farmhouse, for fear that she will be in danger, she came out this morning, she didn't see Xiaobai, and when she walked away, Xiaobai followed.

Thinking of this, An Ran's heart was very touched and relieved, with Xiaobai by her side, she really felt at ease.

It's just that she is going to enter the city later, but she still doesn't take it with her, An Ran hugged Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, I have to wronged you yourself on the mountain today, I want to go into the city to find Ye Lang, but I can't take you there." After all, one person and one leopard, people will be shocked when they see it, and it will be bad to cause trouble when the time comes. ”

Xiaobai seemed to understand her words and howled.

An Ran pursed the corners of her mouth lightly and said, "When I see Ye Lang, I will go to the snow mountain to find you immediately." ”

After An Ran asked Xiaobai to go to the snowy mountain, she picked up the burden by herself and went into the city alone.

The capital of Northern Chu is actually not as rumored to be, to be honest, the capital of Northern Chu feels more prosperous than Dasheng's. Everyone is dressed neatly, but I don't want the people of Dasheng to say, the people of the barbarians. The people of Northern Chu, because of the different regions where they grew up, are all strong and strong, which is very different from the men of Dasheng. Moreover, the women of Northern Chu are also different from those of Dasheng, most of the women of Dasheng are weak, but the women of Northern Chu feel very heroic.

This was An Ran's first impression when he entered the capital. She walked for a while, first went to a place called Xiaoyao Qianzhuang, and as soon as she entered, the guy there stepped forward and said, "Girl, this is ......."

Before the man's words were finished, An Ran asked, "What about your shopkeeper?"

An Ran's tone was cold, exuding a noble temperament, which made people know that this person was extraordinary at a glance.

The guy looked at An Ran and knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, but out of the rules, he still had to ask clearly: "I don't know what the girl is looking for our shopkeeper for?"

An Ran's phoenix eyes glanced at the man, then took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Give this jade pendant to your shopkeeper, and he will understand." ”

The guy took the jade pendant, and at a glance he knew that it was a high-grade mutton fat jade, looked at An Ran, didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Please wait a while, girl." ”

Soon, the guy came out and respectfully invited An Ran to go inside, An Ran followed the guy in, and came to a room, where a man in his forties saw An Ran and quickly got up to greet him, "The girl is polite." ”

The man saluted An Ran, this understanding is Dasheng's etiquette, An Ran bowed slightly, and said, "The cold shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite." ”

This money bank is in Lin Yin's name, and everyone doesn't know that Lin Yin's voice has already done it in Northern Chu, and the shopkeeper of this money village is called Leng Zhen, who was carefully selected and cultivated by Lin Yin, and is loyal to Lin Yin and helps her take care of her business in Northern Chu.

And as early as before An Ran set off to come to Northern Chu, Lin Yin handed her a jade pendant, and told her that after going to the capital of Northern Chu, he would go to Xiaoyao Qianzhuang to find the cold shopkeeper and take out the jade pendant to show him, and he would naturally understand.

"I don't know what the relationship between the girl and my master is?" Leng Zhen asked.

"Lin Yin is my mother. An Ran said lightly.

Hearing this, Leng Zhen was taken aback, bowed to An Ran, and said, "It turned out to be the eldest lady." ”

An Ran bowed slightly, sat down at the tea table, and could not hide her tiredness on her face.

"When did the eldest lady arrive in the capital, she didn't say anything, so that I could make arrangements as soon as possible. Leng Zhen said.

Back then, the master's mother had a life-saving grace for his family, and he swore in his life that he would be loyal to the master's mother, as long as it was ordered by the master's mother, he would never give up.

Later, the Lin family's business reached the territory of Northern Chu, and the housewife transferred him to this Xiaoyao Qianzhuang, and then told him that if anyone came with this jade pendant in the future, he would definitely obey her.

"I arrived yesterday, but the city gate was closed, so I had to spend the night in a nearby farmhouse, and I just entered the city this morning. An Ran replied.

"The eldest lady came to Beichu this time, but is there anything important, but do you need the villain's help?" Leng Zhen asked respectfully.

Generally speaking, not to mention the eldest lady, even the main mother rarely comes to the territory of Beichu, and when I see the eldest lady this time, I am afraid that there is something important.

An Ran looked at Leng Zhen, those phoenix eyes stared at him, no wonder her mother would let her come to Xiaoyao Villa to find the shopkeeper Leng as soon as she entered the capital, he was a delicate person, he knew how to analyze things, and he also knew how to observe words and feelings, he was a rare talent.

"I'm here to find someone. An Ran said.

"I don't know who the eldest lady is looking for?" asked the shopkeeper Leng.

"The new emperor of Northern Chu, Ling Ye of the south. An Ran looked at Leng Zhen and responded.

Hearing this, Leng Zhen looked at An Ran with some surprise, he had already heard of the friendship between the eldest lady of the An family in the Dasheng Fengdu and the king of Northern Chulie, on the same day, Miss An found the white deer, and Emperor Sheng gave Nan Lingye to An Ran as a reward, and later heard that the two were inseparable and fell in love for a long time.

"Since the eldest lady knows, now that he has become the new emperor of Northern Chu, if he wants to enter the palace, I am afraid it will be very difficult. "The cold shock illustrates the current situation.

An Ran nodded and said, "I know, I have already inquired before I came." So I didn't plan to enter the palace, but waited for him to leave the palace. ”

Leng Zhen looked at An Ran, his sophisticated eyes flashed for a long time before he said, "Does the eldest lady mean to wait for tomorrow's heavenly sacrifice ceremony?"

"The cold shopkeeper is really smart, no wonder your mother trusts you so much. An Ran praised.

"The eldest lady has won the prize. Leng Zhen waved his hand and smiled.

"So judging from the familiarity of Shopkeeper Leng in Beichu for many years, is this move feasible?" An Ran asked.

After a while, Leng Zhen nodded and said, "If you want to see the new emperor, this is the only way." Originally, it would be unwise to suddenly intercept the sedan chair during the ceremony of worshiping the sky, but according to the affection between the eldest lady and the new emperor, it is still feasible. Since he offended the new emperor, presumably His Majesty will not blame it, and this move is very good. ”

Usually, if you dare to intercept the sedan chair, most of the consequences are to be killed as an assassin, but the relationship between An Ran and Nan Lingye is another matter.

Hearing that Shopkeeper Leng also agreed with his proposal, a smile appeared on the corner of An Ran's mouth.

"Then all this is arranged by the shopkeeper of Lao Leng. In addition, I have to trouble the cold shopkeeper to prepare a place for Ah Ran to stay, these days, I am afraid that I will have to stay here first to facilitate my actions. An Ran said.

In any case, she has to settle down and settle down before she can plan things.

"The eldest lady is polite, the villain will do it immediately, please take a rest for a while, and then arrange it, and I will send someone to pick you up." Shopkeeper Leng said respectfully, and then went down.
