Chapter Eighty-Six: Lan Ling Returns to Beijing
Feng Yiche returned to the country of Li.
On the day he left, he sent for a bird, a blue bird, small in size and bright in color.
Ming Ran didn't go to see him off that day, because she was trapped in the Hou Mansion, not to mention that many officials were present that day, so she didn't need to go, for fear of causing trouble.
The people in the palace are preparing for the wedding day, but in fact, they are just some dowries and jewelry that can be used after entering the palace.
Before leaving, Feng Yiche told her that the reason why the horses in the downtown area were frightened was because the horses smelled an herb that would make the horses dazed, and if they galloped, they would be frightened.
His subordinates told him that the person who gave the medicine was Zhuqing's younger brother, because her younger brother knew a lot about the frontier generation and knew this kind of thing.
Ming Ran couldn't bear to deal with Zhuqing's younger brother, and transferred him to the villa in the suburbs of the Hou Mansion, out of sight, and when he grew up, he could go or stay at will.
Anyway, Ming Ran is going to marry into the palace, even if he has the intention to harm her, there is no time.
She also wrote a letter to Xiao Yichen, a letter written in English, which roughly means that in the future, she will say goodbye to him, she doesn't want him to do anything for her, and she doesn't want him to plot power, because she wrote in the letter that she doesn't love him anymore.
She said in the letter that she just wanted to enter the palace with peace of mind and be Xiao Yiqian's queen.
She doesn't care whether Xiao Yichen believes it or not, but she is really dead, she wants him to be his idle prince, and she is her queen of the Celestial Empire.
From now on, they will not communicate with each other, and I hope he will not think about taking the road forged by blood.
He didn't reply, and perhaps, he was dead set on it.
But even if he doesn't give up, there is no turning back between him and her.
Ming Dye is in the house all day long, and the door is not out of the second door, and sometimes he will have a long talk with Mrs. Ming, mostly talking about some of the exquisiteness in the palace.
Before you know it, more than a month has passed.
Gradually entering the early summer, there will be a little heat from time to time, and the things in the house to relieve the heat are slowly being prepared.
In the main hall today, two guests came.
She was the housemother of the Lu family, and she brought the young daughter of the Lu family to the house and talked and laughed with Mrs. Ming in the main hall.
Ming Ran wore a long white dress, and when he walked into the main hall, he saw two unfamiliar faces.
She stepped forward gracefully, nodded and smiled at Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu is the eldest sister-in-law of Mingran's maternal uncle Lu, and because of Lu's reasons, Mingran has always had a good impression of the people of the Lu family.
There was a handsome woman on the side, who saw Ming Ran and hurriedly got up to salute.
The woman is the youngest daughter of the Lu family, named Lu Xinxue.
Today, the mother and daughter of the Lu family came to come for Ming Zhan's marriage, and I heard Mrs. Ming say that this marriage was brought up by the Lu family and found a matchmaker.
Ming Zhan has no opinion, after all, the Lu family is a dignified minister in the court, and Lu Xinxue is the daughter of the Lu family, so he naturally has no reason to dislike it.
Mrs. Ming has seen Lu Xinxue and is extremely satisfied, this marriage is settled.
The mother and daughter of the Lu family chatted with Mrs. Ming for a long time, and only left in the evening.
Ming Ran didn't like this kind of party, and returned to the Xueliu Temple early in the morning.
The blue bird that Feng Yiche gave her was chirping in the courtyard.
The dusk of daylight gradually sets, leaving a touch of sunset in the sky, which is beautiful.
It was getting dark.
The stars appeared, and the bright moon quietly appeared in the gray sky.
In an instant, Ming Ran remembered Feng Yiche, and remembered the situation when he was looking up at the sky in the woods with him.
She sat in the courtyard, the blue bird stood on her shoulder, she turned her head sideways and stroked the feathers on the blue bird's body, "What to do, I miss your master." ”
Feng Yiche, I actually ...... Missed you.
Ming Ran was reluctant to admit this fact when Feng Yiche first left, but as he left, she had to admit that she had a trace of concern for Feng Yiche as a friend.
Just like An Xuqiao, she regards Feng Yiche as a friend.
He rescued her, enlightened her, helped her.
She can't ignore all this, although she can't give him love, but from the bottom of her heart, since he saved her, she has regarded him as a friend.
Actually, she seems to owe him a lot of favors.
She looked down and giggled stupidly.
She is going to marry into the palace, and her love has no right to pursue it from now on. Everything she once dreamed of would be strangled in that gorgeous palace with red walls and green tiles.
In this life, I hope to spend it safely like this, don't make any more turmoil, she has accepted such a fate calmly.
Under the majestic red wall, the palace is full of red.
Big red light yarn, big red bead curtain, everywhere you look, are red.
Fenghua Palace, luxurious and elegant, rich and luxurious.
Inside, the pavilions, the gardens and ponds, all of them have been repaired beautifully, and they have become the entire palace, the most beautiful palace.
The solemn and atmospheric Chonghua Palace next door has also passed and is endless.
All the ceremonies of the big wedding have also been arranged.
Aunt Zhu has already left the palace to teach the heavenly sacrifice ceremony to be performed on the day of Ming dyeing, and the heavenly sacrifice clothes to be worn have been sewn.
All of them were personally inspected by Xiao Yiqian and sent to the Hou Mansion.
Ming Ran saw the black and red dress sent to Xueliuyuan, and looked at it in a daze for a long time.
In the Celestial Empire, black was the most revered color.
"County Lord, Lan Ling is back." Fuyue walked into the house lightly.
Ming Ran turned around and saw the wind and dust coming from the gate of Lan Ling's courtyard.
She sat down on the wooden stool and looked at her with a smile on her lips.
As soon as she entered the house, Lan Ling knelt in front of her, "County Lord, the slave failed to find Xiao Qiya, and she lost it in the suburbs that were about to enter Beijing." ”
"She's in Beijing?"
"Yes, the slave maid followed the women who escaped from the late spring building to the frontier, the slave maid failed to enter the villa, and kept guarding outside, and found that a woman was chased and killed, and heard their conversation that day, and the person who escaped was Xiao Qiya, and the slave and maid chased after her, followed her traces, and found that she came to the capital."
"And you've seen her?" Mingran asked.
Lan Ling pondered for a moment and said, "That day, she was fighting with the people of Nirvana Villa, and the slave maid suddenly met her. ”
Ming Ran's eyes rolled and said, "Then you will stay in the Hou Mansion and look for her whereabouts." ”
Her words puzzled Lan Ling.
Ming Ran said again: "I mean, you don't have to follow me into the palace, you just stay in the Hou Mansion." ”
Lan Ling was stunned, and immediately kowtowed: "County master, the slave and maid have been with you since childhood, you can't leave the slave and maid." ”
Ming Ran smiled, and motioned for Fuyue to help her up.
"It's not that I don't want you, I just want to wait until I find Xiao Qiya's whereabouts, and then you enter the palace, the palace is not a good place, it is easy to enter and difficult to exit."
Lan Ling lowered his head and nodded reluctantly.
She returned to Beijing non-stop, just because she knew that Ming Ran was about to get married, so she ran all the way and lost Xiao Qiya, because she couldn't wait to come back and accompany Ming Ran to get married.
But I don't want to go this way, and I can't accompany her after all.
