Chapter 9: Deep Love (3)

Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Rui Wang's eldest daughter Ran Ji, Roujia Shushun, intelligent and agile, dignified Shurui, gentle sex, carved Xian Nei Ze, Yu Ming Queen Kindness, immediately canonized as the lord of Qingran, in June into the palace to learn palace affairs, Qin this.

In June of the sixteenth year of Taifeng, the eldest daughter of King Rui, Qingran County Lord, was ordered to enter the palace, General Chongcang was wearing a red robe in armor, holding a whip, riding a white horse, waiting in front of the Rui Wangfu early, a time of great turmoil, more than ten years have passed, the people of Beijing are all amazed and envious when they mention this matter.

Ji Ran was dressed in palace clothes, and officially stepped out of the palace where he had lived for more than ten years with his mother's expectations, and saw the man in front of the door before he left the mansion. Since he proposed marriage, he has given her the favor and love that she has never gotten, the grudge between Aunt Huo and the second sister, and the tears that the third sister quietly shed when she peeked at the two of them, all of which Ji Ran has been asking for in her heart. The mother's peace of mind, the father's hints, and the flattery of the eldest uncle and the third uncle, these are all brought to Ji Ran by this man. Although the holy decree was not explicitly stated, the people in the capital naturally understood in their hearts what the daughter of the Ji family meant when she entered the palace this time, the title of the county lord, and the presence of the general.

"Ran'er, you're so beautiful." Ji Ran raised his head and straightened his chest, and for the first time slowly walked towards the noble man not far away like a proud peacock, his eyes were opposite, all tender, Ji Ran had always known that the man in front of him was never stingy with praise for himself, but in this crowd, Ji Ran still blushed with shame.

"Ran'er, when you enter the palace this time, you must remember to learn the etiquette in the palace well, and you must not lose the face of the Rui Palace." This picture of a fairy couple made Aunt Huo in the corner angry, only to see the little woman with a jealous face twisting Father Ji's arm lightly, and Father Ji had to step forward and say something unreasonable.

"The prince is really serious, Ran'er behaves appropriately, has an outstanding appearance, and is an example of a woman in Beijing, how can he do what the prince said." Ji Ran smiled proudly at Aunt Huo, and then looked at the man standing in front of her, yes, with him, how could she be innocently humiliated?

Father Ji faced this scene, his embarrassed expression was beyond words, but he was helpless, he could only laugh again and again, and then glared at the Huo family behind him. I saw Ji Ran bowing to the direction of Ji Mu in the distance, and Chong Cang also leaned slightly with her gaze. The two ignored the sneering and embarrassed father Ji in front of them, got into the carriage, and walked away.

"The red dress is shaking the crown, and the sky is full of Pei Shanshan. Ran'er is really beautiful and dazzling today, and on the day of the wedding, I will definitely allow you ten miles of red makeup, so that you will become the most shining girl in Beijing. In the carriage, Chong Cang lightly held Ji Ran's hands, and there was a caress without a match, as if he was playing with the world's jewels.

"Chongcang, why are you marrying me?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier, I am happy with you, and I want to marry you." Under the man's dodging gaze, Ji Ran also knew that things were far from what he said, but Ji Ran still didn't say a word, and quietly looked at the man in front of him.

"The queen is healthy, and the courtiers and daughters visit the mother."

"Get up, good boy, I prepared your favorite refreshments early in the morning, so you don't have to be so polite." I saw the queen sitting on the middle palace, but her face was very kind, there was a kind person next to the queen, the mother called her Mama Kang, Mama Kang personally helped Ji Ran up, the attitude was kind but there was no lack of respectful looks, there was a small child next to the queen, who seemed to be about the same age as Ji Ran, and then I heard that he was Chong Cang's younger brother Chong Huai, although he and Chong Cang were somewhat similar between his eyebrows and eyes, but his expression was serious, not as gentle as Chong Cang's smile, and his eyebrows and eyes were tender.

Ji Ran was a little nervous at first, after all, it was the first time to step into the imperial land, but she couldn't stand the teasing of her, which made the queen smile with her eyebrows and eyes, making Ji Ran's little face flushed, and her nervous expression naturally dissipated without a trace.

"Ran'er, after entering the palace, I can't do everything as before, this is the most powerful Mama Kang around the queen mother, you can discuss everything with her, and soon I will go to Xiliang, you take good care of yourself, think I can write a letter with me." In front of the door of the palace, Ji Ran, who was already exhausted, was full of chatter, which aroused the envy of everyone around her, and after the people left, Mama Kang stepped forward with a smile on her face, patted Ji Ran's hands, and left.

"County Lord, you are really blessed, who doesn't know that our general is a straight temper who marches and fights, even our third princess has never been like this, and I have never seen him so attentive to which young lady." The maids in the hall stepped forward one after another and flattered.

"yes, he's a good guy indeed." Since the day of the engagement, Ji Ran has heard too many such Chinese, and she praised her good luck when she met people, and won the love of such a good son, only he once said to her, "Our Ran'er is the best girl in the world, worthy of all treasures." ”

The day of the expedition is still coming, he has to return to the place where the loess is drawn, he has an extraordinary physique since he was a child, the best martial arts, and extraordinary riding skills, which is the hope of the whole Taifeng, he also has his own ambitions, and he is a hot-blooded son.

"This is the red bean bag I sewed with my own hands to send acacia, and I am waiting for your return in Qingluan Palace." Ji Ran understood the ambition in his heart, and also knew that he had never liked her tears, so he held back the tears in his eyes, stuffed the red bean belt into his cuffs, and gently hugged the man in front of him.

"Wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back..." Warm as jade, full of heart, he suddenly poured into the warm current, he gently stroked her hair, his eyes were full of affection. After many years of expedition, Chongcang was reluctant for the first time, afraid that he would not be able to return.

The battle horn sounded, and everyone inside and outside the government and the opposition admired the general's demeanor, majestic, and mighty, and finally it was still in his invisible sight, her tears fell, and Mama Kang on the side immediately handed over the handkerchief, and her eyes conveyed infinite comfort.

As the days passed, Ji Ran knew a lot about the affairs of the palace under the guidance of Mama Kang, and he was quite proficient in the etiquette of the palace, his record was also quite prominent, and her letters were delivered as usual, everything was so peaceful.

In the spring of the eighteenth year of Taifeng, the emperor invited all the ministers to a banquet, and the Rui Wangfu was also invited, and in the harem, Ji Ran's significant changes also brought Ji's mother deep comfort.

"Mother, I haven't seen you for two years, I don't know if you're in good health, and everything in the house is okay?"

"It's all good, it's all good, the people sent by the general have made my life all right, and the Huo family has also reined in a lot, but how are you doing?"

"As the mother saw, everything is fine with the daughter."

The intimate picture of the mother and daughter was finally broken by a disaster.

"County Lord, County Lord, it's not good, it's not good..."The little maid beside Mama Kang changed her previous calmness and hurriedly rushed into the inner hall, looking anxious and full of panic.

"What's going on?" Ji Ran looked at the appearance of the little envoy and knew that something was wrong, no... No!

"Eight hundred miles in an emergency, the general's whereabouts are unknown..."

"Whereabouts unknown... What does it mean to be unaccounted for! There are many soldiers around the general to protect him, how can his whereabouts be unknown! I'm going to go to my mother to ask for clarification, yes, the news must be wrong! Ji Ran's crumbling body stumbled forward.

'Canglang, my fate is not good, unlike the other princesses in the palace, who grew up with stars and moons, thousands of favors, and meeting you is the salvation of my life.

I still remember that when you and I were chatting one day, I accidentally talked about you picking up the handkerchief of your third sister, and the appearance of the concubine was envious of others, and you only laughed and joked that I was jealous, and then you took off the hairpin between the bundles of hair and carefully inserted it between my hair. The unique royal dragon pattern must be a gift from the lord of the country, I was taken aback, I didn't dare to take it, and when I was in a hurry to take it off, you just smiled at me and reached out to stop me in a panic.

Then the lord of the kingdom issued an order to welcome me into the palace, and such a big battle surprised the whole palace, my father's surprise, my mother's please, and the jealousy of my second sister and third sister, I guess this is how you raise your eyebrows for me. You often say, yes, I'm a martial artist, and some thoughts may not be able to be realized, but I am a person who is willing to put your mind to it. yes, that's the kind of person you are.

After entering the palace, you often came to see me, causing a lot of discussion in the palace, but I didn't care, I was immersed in the gentleness that I had never had, and I felt the happiness that I had never had.

Then you fought on the battlefield, I thought about you day and day, night and night, the youngest daughter's mind was more after all, Yueyue's letter became my most reassuring sustenance, I am afraid that you will suffer in the desert, afraid that you will be injured in the battlefield where the yellow sand is flying and the war is continuous. Sure enough, the last thing that happened came, I heard the news of your disappearance, I washed my face with tears all day long, the news of your violent death on the battlefield was so true, I don't know how long it took, the whole dynasty of time accepted your death, you were not there, I became the laughing stock of the entire harem, I listened to the gossip and all kinds of criticism about me, and I was alone in the palace guarding the dream of ten miles of red makeup you made for me.

Perhaps it was my sincerity that touched the gods, and you returned safely. But, are you still you? Those eyes didn't show the slightest warmth to me, but only said to me lightly, the county lord is not harmed, and the next few days will be endless indifference. The feeling has changed, everything has changed... I panicked, I finally got scared, and I began to learn to be careful again, and how I wished it was just my cranky thoughts.

But I was still wrong, on the day of the young master's position, I went to the imperial study to ask the lord for marriage, and I didn't even get you the slightest intention of turning back, you actually begged to send me back to the house. At that moment, the persistence that had been held out was completely repulsed in an instant, and all hopes were dashed, Canglang, have you ever had a friendship with me, or is this just a dream of mine after all...'

The above letter came from the eldest princess of Chonghuai, Jin An, who found it by chance.
