Chapter 18: The Imperial Garden is thrilling
This month's food, clothing, and silver have not been delivered.
After that night, Ran Ziyu knew that he would not send it. Fortunately, I didn't finish eating before, and I can still last for a while.
Cai Wei prepares the clothes that Ran Ziyu chooses to wear every day. Xin Nu didn't care much, she didn't agree with what the young lady chose as the crown princess. Ran Ziyu had already put this matter behind him, and every day he either practiced poison with Bai Zhuo, played with flowers, or practiced with Ah Yue.
Time flickered, on the day of entering the palace, Ran Ziyu and Ran Zirou and Ran Zixian went in the same carriage.
Ran Zixian's long hair was quietly draped behind him, and a small golden step was inserted in the Chinese bun on his head. The goose yellow embroidered clear water peony skirt takes advantage of the whole person to be more delicate and cute. She glanced at Ran Zixian, and contempt flashed in her eyes, "Did the little sister go to disgrace our Guogong Mansion?" ”
Ran Ziyu didn't dress up too much, and rejected the heavy and flowery clothes and troublesome buns that Cai Wei picked for her. I only wore a white dress, although it was a little plain, but the fabric was excellent. The waist is wrapped around the broken moon bento is a belt, and he wears a gauze of the same color to cover his graceful figure. The long hair is simply braided with a braid, and the red rope at the end of the hair is smart.
She heard Ran Zixian saying that she was dressed shabbyly, and replied lightly: "Do you still need to lose the face of the Guogong Mansion?" ”
"You!" Ran Zixian was going to arrest her across Ran Zirou.
Ran Zirou's voice was soft and tactful due to illness, "Two sisters, don't quarrel!" If you have this kind of energy to quarrel, it is better to behave well later, and regain some face for the Guogong Mansion. She looked at Ran Zixian and then at Ran Ziyu.
When looking at Ran Ziyu, he stayed for a few more seconds, and the ruthlessness in his eyes flashed.
The carriage got off at the main gate of the Yue Palace, and a large group of beautiful girls gathered, waiting to open the door.
A middle-aged eunuch said something to the chief eunuch who led the way and left. The chief eunuch explained that His Majesty and the Prince of Northern Xia were discussing in the Chonghua Palace, and he was afraid of disturbing them. So he took the girls to the side door and went to the imperial garden through Yongxiang.
As soon as they entered the garden, the girls scattered and found their acquaintances, smiling and talking. Ran Zixian also went to look for her friend, but they ignored her at all. She could only walk back awkwardly and stand with Ran Zirou.
On the layers of jade steps, four honorable positions have already been placed. After a while, Empress Xiao, Xuanyuan Cheng, Ran Guifei, and Princess Dongping County walked out in turn. Empress Xiao and Xuanyuan Cheng sat in the middle of the two positions, and the seat next to Empress Xiao sat the princess of Dongping County. Concubine Ran sat next to Xuanyuan Cheng.
"Meet the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Jin An! Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An! Meet the princess of Dongping County! Ran Gui Concubine Niangniang! The soft voices of the girls were sweet.
Ran Ziyu kowtowed, moved his mouth, and did not make a sound.
Looking at the flower-like delicate faces underneath, Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Get up!" The chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden are blooming just right, so don't be restrained if you enjoy them. ”
"Yes!" The girls scattered and went to see the chrysanthemums in twos and threes.
"This year's show girls are all beautiful and beautiful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so blessed." The princess laughed.
Empress Xiao nodded, as if she remembered something, "The princess of the county might as well choose one to go back, the little nephew in this palace is not too young, and it is time to get married." ”
The princess of the county covered her face with embroidery, "The queen laughed, this is to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince, how to mention my untalented debt collector." ”
Empress Xiao asked Xuanyuan Cheng beside her again, "Cheng'er, do you have a favorite?" ”
"After returning to my mother, no." Xuanyuan Cheng still had the usual cold face and did not answer. Empress Xiao saw what he was looking at, followed his gaze, and there was a girl in white standing on the back of the imperial pool, so she smiled, "Cheng'er's duplicity is still the same as when she was a child. ”
"Mama Li, bring that show girl over to take a look."
"Yes!"
The girls were obedient and happily admiring the chrysanthemums, but their eyes were intentionally or unintentionally aimed at the queen prince on the jade steps, and when they saw Mama Li coming down, they were excited in their hearts, looking forward to Mama Li stopping in front of them.
However, Mama Li walked straight to the girl in white by the imperial pool.
Ran Ziyu felt that she was very sad, she had no intention of choosing any princess, she was already far away from the crowd, and she was still called away. For a moment, she felt that there were countless eyes cutting her on her back,
Ran Zixian was angry and jealous, and the handkerchief in his hand was tightly stirred. Ran Zirou smiled, if she became the crown princess, no one would rob her of Bai Zhuo. She hopes that Ran Ziyu will be elected as the crown princess.
Ran Ziwen had a gentle and relieved smile on his face, after all, he was the daughter of the Ran family. But in his heart, he has scolded Ran Ziyu thousands of times: This shameless fox!
"Look up."
Empress Xiao's eyes were full of amazement, "It's a stunning person." Turning his head to Xuanyuan Cheng and laughing, "Cheng'er has a good eye." ”
Xuanyuan Cheng was a little embarrassed, looked at Ran Ziyu, smiled lightly, and said lightly: "The queen mother said she laughed." ”
Empress Xiao knew that her son liked this girl, but she didn't say anything about it, so she, as a mother, would do it for her, "Mama Li, leave the sign." ”
"Yes, Lady Queen."
Ran Ziyu reluctantly handed over the red card, and reluctantly said: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”
"Good boy, let's go see the flowers!" Empress Xiao took the sign from Mama Li, the young lady of the Guogong Mansion. With a smile on his face, he put the sign back to Mama Li. If it was the former Guogong Mansion, it would be about the same.
"Cheng'er, is there anything else you are satisfied with?"
Xuanyuan Cheng snorted coldly, "It's good if my mother likes it." ”
Empress Xiao stopped talking, knowing that Xuanyuan Cheng was a little displeased.
Ran Ziyu walked back slowly. Knowing that her brand had been left behind, the other girls cast envious and extreme glances.
Ran Ziyu still walked back to the edge of the imperial pool, still looking at the Chinese boat on the water not far away, he was surprised by the magnificence of the boat before, but now he was only sad. One by one, the girls who had left her in the cold approached her. praised her beauty, saying that her clothes were plain and elegant, fresh and refined.......
Ran Ziyupi smiled and didn't say a word.
Suddenly, there was a force behind her, and she didn't even have a chance to struggle, so she fell straight down.
The autumn water was slightly cool, and the sense of powerlessness engulfed by water erosion hit again. it!
"Yikes! Little sister of the Ran family! ”
"Ahh Someone! ”
"The little lady of the Ran family has fallen into the water!"
The girl by the imperial pool deliberately called for help in a delicate voice.
Xuanyuan Cheng kept looking over there, and just a group of show girls surrounded him to block his sight, so he didn't see her for a while, and she fell into the water, she was still not smart enough.
Empress Xiao was about to send guards to rescue her, when she saw that Xuanyuan Cheng had already flown down the jade steps, and arrived at the edge of the imperial pool in a few steps.
Empress Xiao hurriedly descended the jade steps, and when she arrived at the pool, she saw her Cheng'er's lost soul, and her eyes were full of anger when she stared at Hua Chuan. She understood, "Cheng'er, forget it, it's that Miss Ran has no blessings." "What else can you do when you get on the Regent's ship....
The little girl of the Ran family was rescued on the boat.
Xuanyuan Cheng was about to fly over, but Empress Xiao grabbed him with her hand. I was amazed that Cheng'er, who had a cold temperament, had a deep affection for that girl. whispered: "Do you want to grab what the regent likes?" Your father can't rob him, what can you do? ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Cheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Regent! Why would this man be the regent! Why should the prince of his dignified Yue Kingdom be jealous of this regent!
The fist clenched under the sleeve of the costume trembled with too much force.
