The father and brother went to the inner courtyard of the palace to have a family banquet with the prince's concubine, and the ceremony was not harmonious. But with Zhu Heyu, how could this matter spread outside the house.

Zhu Changjun and Zhu Lang came to the main hall of Fuhuan Temple first. She wanted to give Zhuchang County a family salute, but Zhuchang County stopped her, but he wanted to give her a salute. Father, who should have been the closest person, feels so distant at the moment. Zhu Changjun said to Zhu Lang beside him: "Lang'er, you go out first, because my father has something to say to your eldest sister." ”

When there were only two people left in the main hall, Zhu Ran asked, "What does the father want to say to his daughter?" ”

Zhu Changjun hesitated, but finally lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday, Ran'er and King Lin'an left the palace without permission, if the prince hadn't suppressed it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

During the Dragon Boat Festival, when Zhuchangjun saw her, he deliberately sent Zhulang away, just to ask this? Smiled: "I didn't think about the consequences. ”

Zhu Changjun asked her seriously: "Are you a child?" Don't think about yourself, think about it, think about it! ”

Zhu Ran lowered his head and fiddled with the skirt in his hand, and asked indifferently, "Why?" Why am I the young lady of Zhufu? Or am I your daughter? ”

Zhu Ran's voice was not loud or small, Zhu Changjun was afraid that people outside would hear it, so he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "It's up to your mother, okay!" ”

The movement in Zhu Ran's hand stopped, hesitated for a moment, looked up at Zhu Changjun and said with a smile: "Father, for my mother, I thought of a way, a way to please Zhu Heyu." ”

Zhu Changjun hurriedly stopped Zhu Ran, "Bastard! The name of the prince, how can you say it! ”

Zhu Ran paused and continued: "What does my father think about currying favor with Zhu Heyu, and then begging him to find a secluded garden for his mother and take his mother out of the Bamboo Mansion?" ”

As soon as Takechangjun was about to speak, he heard the sound of peace outside, and he held back with anger on his face.

At the dinner table, Zhu Ran was absent-mindedly eating his own food. Listen to the conversation between Zhu Changjun and Zhu Heyu. It turned out that the purpose of his coming to the palace this time was not because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, nor for the fact that she and Lin Yunchen left the palace yesterday, but for his career. Lu Changxu, the secretary of the ministry, begged to marry Zhu Yu for his second son Lu Zilei. Zhao Yihong was in the mansion, shallow in knowledge, seeing that Lu Changxu prepared a rich dowry, and the second son Lu Zilei was a fourth-grade left guard of the imperial court, young and promising, and he wanted to be a big boss in Zhuyu, so he accepted the bride price without consulting with Zhuchangjun. After Zhuchangjun found out, he was angry and afraid, so he hurriedly returned the bride price, and personally came to the palace to explain the situation to Zhu Heyu. The meaning of the words is that he is a member of Zhu Heyu's faction, both openly and secretly. Zhu Heyu just laughed but didn't speak. The more polite he was to Zhuchangjun, the more restrained Zhuchangjun became.

Finally, Zhu Heyu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhu Ran and said, "Okay, I won't discuss the affairs of the court today, right, Ranran?" ”

The dishes have been served, and Shui Xin brought the zongzi and put them on the side of Zhulang. Zhu Lang went to get it, but Shui Xin smiled and handed the zongzi to him.

Zhu Ran was seeing Zhu Lang looking at Shui Xin, the tenderness in his eyes was like water, Zhu Lang lost his mind, Zhu Ran also lost his mind, and he didn't hear Zhu Heyu's words.

"Side princess, the prince asked you." Seeing that Zhu Ran was absent-minded, Zhu Changjun reminded anxiously.

Zhu Ran came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Changjun, saw his embarrassed face, and looked at Zhu Heyu again, but he smiled softly at her. He smiled slightly and asked, "Does the prince want to eat zongzi?" ”

Zhu Heyu said with a smile: "The Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi, Lord Bamboo, Bamboo Pioneer also try it!" ”

The awkward atmosphere in the room eased slightly, and on the side of Zhu Lang and Shui Xin, Zhu Lang felt out of shape and was busy sorting out his emotions. Shui Xin's face turned red and he was silent.

After the meal, Zhu Heyu said quietly: "I also have to trouble Lord Zhu to go to the king's study." ”

"Okay, okay, the prince has promoted Weichen."

When Zhu Heyu got up, he whispered in Zhu Ran's ear: "Today's dishes are in line with the taste of this king, and dinner is still here in Ranran." ”

Send Zhu Heyu and Zhu Changjun away, and Zhu Lang will also retire. Zhu Ran felt exhausted, exchanged a few words of greeting, and saw the affection between him and Shui Xin, so he created an opportunity for the two of them to let Shui Xin send him out of the house.

Ruoyi came in and took down the meal, and saw that the figures of Zhu Lang and Shui Xin were gradually moving away, and he couldn't help but tease Zhu Ran: "Shui Xin and Young Master Lang are really compatible!" ”

She also admitted, but she couldn't help but worry about the two of them in her heart. Will father Zhu Changjun and Zhao Yihong agree? The answer must be no.

At dinner, he came. Sitting beside her, looking at Zhu Ran's pale and bloodless face, he suddenly said, "You are too remote here, move to the East Courtyard tomorrow!" ”

The chopsticks that were not clenched in his hand almost slipped off, and he said softly: "No need, the concubine is used to living here." ”

Since Zhu Heyu came at night, he had no intention of leaving. In the summer, it gets dark very slowly. Zhu Ran sat in the room that was not too dark and did not say a word, she thought that Zhu Heyu would have a showdown with her at any time. Although I was physically and mentally tired, I still had to prepare.

The maid came into the house to lay out the brocade quilt and retreated, and Zhu Heyu said to Zhuran: "It's late." ”

Zhu Ran answered, knowing that he would not let himself stop at night, and instead of him taking off her clothes, it was better for her to take them off herself. The light silk coats were thrown to the ground by her, and Zhu Ran stood with his back to him. He walked over and boarded her body, lip to lip to hers, not to kiss, just waiting for her reaction.

However, Zhu Ran did not react in the slightest, did not hide, and did not take the initiative. He let go of her, the indescribable feeling in his heart, thinking of her cold appearance after every lust, he couldn't help but raise her chin and asked, "Do you think that I, Zhu Heyu, am very short of women, and I don't come here to ask for you?" ”

"The concubine didn't think so." Zhu Ran thought in his heart: There is no love between him and himself, only love, and he just came to ......

"Good! Good! This king is as you wish! He wanted to give her a quiet night, let her think about it, she and Lu Zihan were no longer possible, the man lying beside her was him, the man who gave her shelter and gave her warmth was him Zhu Heyu. But at this moment, he could no longer restrain his burning anger. In front of her, he had zero willpower for years.

Putting her on the bed, entering directly without any foreplay, looking at her tightly knit brow, closed eyes and forbearing, he said, "Open your eyes." ”

She didn't move, he changed his way, kissed, coaxed, "Ranran, open your eyes, look at the man on your body, look at me......" He was punishing her body in this way, but his heart was so tormented. The lingering of death, the warm body in exchange for not only the cold heart, the moment he withdrew and lay down, Zhu Ran finally opened his eyes to look at him. Inexplicable affection......

When I woke up the next day, I was no longer around. The silence of a summer morning spreads throughout the interior. The sun hit her face, she felt relaxed, a dream was over, and she woke up. Everything in the dream still comes to mind, but it never touches the heartstrings again. The phoenix nirvana, put it to death and then was relieved.
