After three years of waiting, a couple of lovers finally became married.

After the lively wedding, Zhou Youning came to the new house under the support of the grandmothers.

The room is gorgeously decorated and exquisitely furnished, and at a glance you can see that a lot of thought has been put into it.

The Meng family originally wanted to open a separate mansion as a concubine mansion and give it to the couple. After all, Her Royal Highness the princess is the only daughter of the first emperor, and her status is noble. However, Zhou Youning insisted on marrying into the Meng family and willingly became the daughter-in-law of the Meng family.

When the Meng family heard this, they were very grateful. Mrs. Meng instructed her sons and daughters-in-law to make their family affairs beautiful, especially the new house for the two children, and to pick the best for everything, so as not to lose the face of the Meng family.

Zhou Youning sat on the happy bed with a light red face, and everyone could see her nervousness and shyness. The grandmother in the palace stroked her shoulder and whispered, "Your Highness, don't be nervous, it's okay." ”

Zhou Youning took a deep breath when she heard this, and quietly waited for her husband to come back.

It was getting late, and the main courtyard of the Meng family was still lit up, like day.

As the groom's official son, Meng Xiran was dressed in a red robe and greeted the guests who came to congratulate him. Now, he is already the master of the dynasty, and his status is different from the past, so he is naturally the object of everyone's stitching.

Meng Xizhao, as the son of the Meng family, will inevitably come out to socialize. But he can't drink, Qiao Huiyun has started to be happy these days, and he can't smell alcohol.

Meng Xiran was smiling and slightly drunk, thinking about Zhou Youning all the time in her heart, and couldn't wait to see her.

At this time, Mrs. Meng was going to the new house.

She wanted to take a look at Zhou Youning and say a few words to her affectionately.

As soon as Mrs. Meng came in, Zhou Youning stood up, looking very respectful.

The old lady hurriedly curtsied, and Zhou Youning stretched out his hand to help her: "Old lady, I am already a member of the Meng family, you don't have to be so restrained......"

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and took her little hand, looked down for a while, and then said, "You are a noble person of our Meng family." Brother Ran can marry a wife like you, it is really the creation of our Meng family. ”

Her words made Zhou Youning's face even redder.

"Old lady......"

"If Your Highness is willing, don't call me old lady, and call me "grandmother" like Brother Ran in the future. ”

Her palms were dry and warm, with a rough feeling of age, and they felt like the hands of the imperial grandmother.

Zhou Youning took a deep breath and called "grandmother" softly.

The old lady was happy when she heard this. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, our family will love you well in the future."

To be honest, even if she is not a princess, she is still a child who provokes pain.

"Then grandmother should not call me any princess in the future, just call me by my milk name."

She wanted to become a family with them soon, after all, she was going to live here for the rest of her life.

The old lady nodded with a smile, naturally willing in her heart. Then, she asked the people around her to hand over a large red sandalwood box.

The old lady opened the box with her own hands, only to see a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets inside, with golden luster and gorgeous patterns.

"This is what my mother's family dowried, something that has been passed down from generation to generation...... Even if it's a gift from me. ”

Zhou Youning was slightly surprised, his eyelashes trembled, and he only said, "Thank you, grandmother, this is really too precious......"

"It's not precious, it's just a little heart."

The old lady personally helped her bring the dragon and phoenix bracelets, one in each hand, symmetrical left and right.

The bracelet was a little heavy, falling on the wrist with a cool touch.

"Good boy, we will be a family from now on."

She is the same age as Meng Xilan, and sometimes, looking at her is like looking at Meng Xilan.

Zhou Youning nodded slightly, his eyes were unconsciously a little sour, and he almost burst into tears.

The old lady looked at the sky outside the window and said busily: "You go to the main courtyard to have a look, don't let Brother Ran eat too much wine, let him come over early, and accompany the bride is the right thing." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room chuckled along.

Zhou Youning couldn't help but blush his cheeks and his heart pounding.

Half an hour later, Meng Xiran finally returned.

There was a slight smell of wine on his body, and there was a gentle smile between his eyebrows.

After Zhou Youning glanced at him, he lowered his head shyly.

Meng Xiran lovingly reached out and smoothed her sideburns, and said softly: "I have to wash the smell of wine on my body first." ”

After three years of dating, she had already gotten used to his touch, but today was an exception, she suddenly felt so nervous, very nervous.

Meng Xiran went to the clean room, and the maids also came over to serve Zhou Youning to undress and freshen up.

Zhou Youning took off his heavy red wedding dress, wore a middle coat, and sat alone in front of the mirror to comb his hair.

Seeing this, the maids retreated one after another.

After a while, Meng Xiran returned to the new house refreshed, and saw her sitting there combing her hair, her back was beautiful, slender and gentle.

Zhou Youning heard his footsteps, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him in the mirror, he was walking towards her step by step.

Zhou Youning subconsciously bit his lip, not knowing whether he should sit still or get up to greet him.

Just when she was still hesitating, the whole person had been stopped by Meng Xiran and hugged her.

She couldn't help but let out a soft snort, but a soft laugh came from above her head.

Zhou Youning was carried all the way to the bed by him, her whole person was a little dizzy, as if she had fallen into a soft cloud, she looked at the bed curtain in the upper room above her head, and Meng Xiran's bright eyes, and after taking a deep breath, she slowly closed her eyes.

Meng Xiran lowered her head and kissed her lips, very soft, very soft, like the wings of a butterfly flapping gently, beautiful.

Zhou Youning couldn't help but open her eyes, wanting to take a good look at him, her Xiran brother, her husband.

After a long light kiss, Meng Xiran's eyes had a lot of fiery emotion, he slowly exhaled a heavy breath, the corners of his lips against her cheek, and sighed: "I have waited for three years for this day." ”

His heavy breathing teased her sensitive nerves, Zhou Youning gently reached out to hug his generous back, and said with a little apology: "Brother Xiran, I'm sorry." ”

"Fool. It's so dignified, why do you say you're sorry......" Meng Xiran smiled, kissed her sideburns and said: "Compared with a lifetime, what is it in just three years?" ”

For her sake, it was worth the wait.

Zhou Youning's heart moved when he heard this, and he hugged him tighter and tighter: "Brother Xiran, we don't want to be separated again for the rest of our lives, okay?" ”

"Okay."

The shallow words, accompanied by bursts of murmuring, slowly turned into rapid gasps in the end......

……

The cold walls, the dimly lit cell, and the cold, damp musty smell. This place looks very familiar.

Dreams, is this a dream? Or is it real?

Meng Xilan looked around in a panic, and subconsciously opened her mouth to call people, but found that her throat could not make a sound.

Her heart, which had never been easily afraid, gradually began to be afraid.

No, it won't, it's not true.

She reached out and touched the hard stone wall, only to find scratches one after another.

Is that...... That's the traces she used to leave to remember the days.

Meng Xilan's body trembled slightly, she didn't understand why she was here?

Just when he was helpless and scared, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Lan'er...... Lan'er ......"

Meng Xilan followed the prestige, only to feel a faint light coming from above her head, she stretched out her hand, and couldn't wait to catch the light.

Zhou Youchen came back from outside and was slightly startled when he saw her curled up on the bed, struggling uneasily.

She looked pained, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he walked over to hold her hand, her hand was cold, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

She must have had a nightmare.

Zhou Youchen hurriedly woke her up, eager to wake her up from the nightmare.

Meng Xilan opened her eyes in horror and met Youchen's worried eyes last week.

She was dreaming. Meng Xilan instantly regained her senses, panting slightly and said, "I seem to have a nightmare." ”

It's been a long time since she's had nightmares, a long, long time. But I don't know what's going on now?

Zhou Youchen reached out to brush away the broken hair that fell on her forehead, and then wiped the cold sweat off her with his sleeve.

"What's wrong? Why are you so scared? ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head and only said that it was okay. Even though she said this, her body was still trembling slightly.

Zhou Youchen didn't believe it, held her face with both hands, and looked her in the eyes: "Don't lie to me, tell me the truth." ”

"It's really fine, it's just a dream." Meng Xilan deliberately lowered her eyes and didn't look into his eyes.

She couldn't repeat the scene in the dream, and he wouldn't understand it.

Zhou Youchen's brows were deeply locked, and he was about to ask again, but Meng Xilan had already taken the lead in nesting into his arms, and said softly: "Don't ask anything, just hold me like this, okay?" ”

Zhou Youchen hugged her tightly and sighed helplessly.

She was a difficult woman to understand, and he couldn't read her uneasiness.

After a while, Meng Xilan finally stopped trembling, and she asked softly, "Where did the emperor go just now?" ”

"I went for a walk in the yard and brought you a small gift."

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, and turned her head to look at him with his gaze.

It turned out that he had placed a blooming red rose next to her pillow.

"It's beautiful." Meng Xilan picked up the rose and put it in the palm of her hand.

"I also think it's beautiful, just like you." Zhou Youchen kissed her forehead and said.

Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this, and leaned back into his arms.

Zhou Youchen patted her back soothingly, and asked half-loudly, "Is this palace too deserted?" ”

Meng Xilan didn't speak, just shook her head.

She wasn't originally a person who liked to be boisterous.

"Sometimes, I really want to get you out of here." Zhou Youchen followed and said.

Meng Xilan blinked: "Where are you going?" ”

"Anywhere, even at the ends of the earth."

He said this with a childish feeling.

Meng Xilan shook her head and chuckled: "No, we can't go anywhere......"

It is not difficult to leave the palace, it is not difficult to leave the capital, and the most difficult thing is to leave the fetters and implications of these disturbances around you. The fate of him and her has long been closely linked to this palace, and they can't escape or hide......
