Chapter 17: Encounter with Ling Xuanlan

He saluted his mother as usual, and the queen lifted him up, took him by the hand, and sat down with him.

"Xuanlan, are all the injuries healed?" The Empress asked. "It's all right, thank you for your concern." Ling Xuanlan replied. "You said you, why did you block her arrows, now the gossip outside is fierce." The emperor blamed slightly. "What rumors?" Ling Xuanlan asked with a slight frown. "It's just to say that you are happy with Ye Minghuan. That girl is very mischievous, and I know you won't like her. But you want to avoid suspicion in the future, you know? There was some temptation in the emperor's tone.

Ling Xuanlan didn't answer her immediately, just lowered his eyelashes, and after a moment, he raised his eyes, looked at the emperor and queen seriously, and said, "Queen Mother, I am indeed happy with Ye Minghuan." She is a girl with a good personality, she is a little lively, not naughty. I also hope that the queen mother will not be prejudiced against her. ”

When the emperor heard this, she was slightly annoyed, "Don't be blinded by her." She was born in Jiangmen, and no one has been in charge since she was a child. When I grew up, I went to the barracks, what kind of place was that? How can she have a good temperament? is really a girl like Yan Haoxue. ”

"Mother, what do you mean by that? What happened to my fairy barracks? Without them, the Demon Realm would have come to our Imperial City long ago. Ye Minghuan is straightforward and generous, happy and warm-hearted. She is also a person who has read books, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her immortal martial arts are not much higher than the nobles you like. How can I not like her anymore? Although Ling Xuanlan's face was calm, the unhappiness in his tone was very obvious.

"Xuanlan! Is this the way you talk to your mother? It has always been your turn to choose the children's family affairs, the parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words. Yan Haoxue is my favorite choice for daughter-in-law. Moreover, now Ling Xuanche, that stinky boy, is targeting you everywhere. If you marry her, her family's power can help you stabilize the throne, so why not? The emperor said angrily, she paused, and said, "If you really like Ye Minghuan, if you marry Yan Haoxue in the future, it's not impossible to let her be a concubine." ”

"Mother," he sighed, continued, "my wife is the one who will accompany me throughout my life. I just want to save this position for my favorite people. Ye Minghuan is arrogant and bright, she will not be a concubine, and I will not let her be a concubine. And I won't have a concubine. Because I'm going to give her all I have. He looked at the emperor with a look in his eyes full of determination and persistence.

The emperor had never seen his son so attentive to something, and he was stunned for a moment when he reacted like this.

"Queen Mother," he stood up and bowed, "and all other things, the sons and daughters can listen to the Queen Mother, but this is the only thing." He paused, "There is no negotiation." When he had finished speaking, he bowed and took his leave.

And Concubine Ying's side left Ye Minghuan to eat in the palace, Ye Minghuan couldn't shirk it, so she had to stay. It's a pity that there are many rules in the palace, and the ornaments on her head are very heavy, and there is no way to lower her head to eat, and she has to maintain elegance, so her meal can be said to be extremely uncomfortable.

Finally finished eating, Concubine Ying was about to take a lunch break, so she asked Ye Minghuan to go back first. Ye Minghuan was amnesty, and his heart smiled. Lianxia sent her to the gate of Shulan Palace, and sent a little maid to take her out of the palace. Ye Minghuan sent Ruyue to prepare the carriage first, and then went out with the little palace maid.

And this little palace maid seems to be a little abnormal, her legs are lame and lame, and her feet and necks that are unintentionally exposed seem to be injured. She said in her heart that the palace people in the Ying Concubine Palace were also a little ruthless, and she felt a little sorry for this little girl, so she asked her to go back first. Return the way you came, according to your memory.

Unfortunately, the palace was so big that some of the roads looked similar, and she walked for a while before she found herself lost. She walked to a porch where there was no one going around, and the corridor was winding and winding, and she didn't know where it leads. She was already a little anxious, and she was afraid that Ruyue and the others would be in a hurry, so she was even more panicked. She frowned slightly, and walked down the long corridor with a puzzled face, and looked at the landscape outside to see if she could think of anything. Around a corner, one accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ouch," she lowered her head and covered her head and whispered, and saw the person stepping on gilded boots, embroidered with a seven-clawed dragon on his clothes, knowing that the identity of the person who came was not low, she immediately saluted and apologized, "The courtier rushed into His Highness, the crime should be..." ”

It's him? Ye Ming raised his head violently and saw Ling Xuanlan looking at him gently. She suddenly remembered her dream, and he looked at him in the dream. Suddenly, his face was slightly hot, and he quickly lowered his head and skimmed his eyes away.

Ling Xuanlan had just come out of the imperial palace, he was in a depressed mood, and was about to return to the prince's mansion, but he saw a familiar figure in the corridor. He came over to check and found that it was her, and his mood instantly improved. And Ye Minghuan's head made him see her dress up today, which made his eyes light up and his heart swayed. She drew her eyebrows today, dotted her lipstick, and painted a faint layer of begonia red rouge on the corners of her eyes, and her cheeks were slightly pink, bright and a little cute. She was wearing a pink and white palace dress, which set off her figure and added a bit of dignified atmosphere. The hairpin on the head fluttered in the wind and jingled. His face also turned red, and he coughed slightly sideways, and then said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Concubine Ying announced that I entered the palace to continue. As a result, when I left, I saw that the little palace maid who was leading the way had a lame leg, so I asked her to go back first. And then I'm lost now. She replied in a daze. Hearing her answer like this, he first felt that the little girl he liked was really cute and kind, but he remembered the purpose of his mother looking for him to enter the palace, and couldn't help but worry about whether Concubine Ying wanted her to be his daughter-in-law. ”

"Ask me if I have a match." She replied, a flash of helplessness in her eyes. Ling Xuanlan's heart froze, "Then you... Have it? Ling Xuanlan asked tentatively. Ye Minghuan was asked by him, raised his eyes to look at him, but found that he was looking at him, his face was gentle, and there was a little expectation in his eyes. She immediately lowered her eyelashes again, unable to say anything.

She felt so strange in her heart, she had never been like this before. So she plucked up the courage to look at him again, and instead of answering the question, she just pouted and asked, "Then do you have it?" ”

Ling Xuanlan immediately replied, "Yes." Ye Minghuan was stunned by his neat and crisp answer. She blinked, and an anticipation rose in her heart, she was a little hopeful, he wanted to marry her. So she swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously, "With whom?" ”
