It was rumored in the palace that He Guangsheng, the little eunuch of the Yiqing Palace, ran for Zhu Ran and lay down, so Zhu Ran asked the emperor to promote him to the third class chief. For a time, there was a popular atmosphere in the palace to please Zhuran.

Life is always contradictory and misplaced, and when Zhu Ran wanted Zhu Heyu to make her a concubine, Zhu Heyu didn't. When the dust settled on Dong Jie's matter and Zhu Ran didn't want to think about it, Zhu Heyu wanted to seal Zhu Ran as a concubine again.

That night in the Yiqing Palace, bathing and changing clothes, the two lay on Zhu Heyu's dragon couch. After the tricky moves, Zhu Heyu looked at Zhu Ran and smiled: "It's hard work!" ”

Zhu Ran didn't know if he was talking right or back, because Zhu Ran was letting him fiddle with it just now and didn't react in the slightest. Finally, I heard Zhu Heyu say: "Feng Ran is a concubine, what words are good......

After thinking for a while, one word came to mind: cold.

Concubine Leng! Where is this reward, it is obviously a humiliation with the nature of dissatisfaction. He clearly meant that because she was on the bed, she didn't respond coldly.

Zhu Ran didn't speak, but the next day Zhao Yuquan took the holy decree to Chenghuan Hall to read it, and really named her a concubine, giving the word Leng, and being called Concubine Leng.

That night, Zhu Ran thought that she might have made Zhu Heyu angry, and although she was named a concubine, she didn't see anyone else for half a month.

When she is angry, she is angry, he doesn't come, she is at ease......

It took a month, and after lunch that day, Zhao Yuquan came to invite Zhuran to go to Yiqing Palace. When Zhu Ran arrived at the Yiqing Palace, he learned that Zhang Yuying was in the palace, in Zhu Heyu's arms.

Zhu Ran entered the hall and asked Zhu Heyu to say goodbye first. Zhu Heyu looked at Zhu Ran with a smile, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Concubine Leng—please get up." ”

Zhu Ran found out in his heart that Zhu Heyu was emotionally naïve, he was in love with Zhang Yuying in front of her, did he want to make her jealous, or did he want to be ashamed of her.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Yuying called her sister, and then wanted to break free of Zhu Heyu's arms, but Zhu Heyu didn't let her struggle, looked at Zhang Yuying's eyes and said: "Concubine Leng can also do ventriloquism, you perform a song and let Concubine Leng hear how your skills are." ”

Coincidentally, Zhang Yuying's performance was "Birds and Flowers", and anything else is fine, this song violates Zhuran's bottom line. Listening to the familiar melody, Zhu Ran thought of what she said to him when she was in Lingxi, and she was reluctant to let Zhu Heyu leave, hoping that he could pick her up when the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. It's just that at this time, looking at the beautiful woman in Zhu Heyu's arms, her heart is really like Concubine Leng's cold words.

When Zhang Yuying's performance was in full swing, Zhu Ran interrupted the song "Birds and Flowers". looked at Zhu Heyu's eyes and said: "Concubine Yu sang so well, it made the concubine think of her days in Lingxi." ”

Zhu Ran looked at Zhu Heyu's eyes for a moment, and his hand suddenly let go of Zhang Yuying's waist, and said to Zhang Yuying: "Let's go back to your palace first." ”

Zhang Yuying didn't know how Zhu Ran's understatement could have such a great effect. It's just that Zhu Heyu asked her to go back, in order to maintain Wen Shu's image, she still bowed down and said yes to Zhu Heyu, bowed slightly to Zhuran, and withdrew, even though her heart was so jealous, even if her index finger clasped her palm.

"She's gone, you sing it to me." Zhu Heyu said to Zhu Ran.

"Yu ......" Zhu Ran's voice was very low and low, and he said to Zhu Heyu: "I'm tired......"

Zhu Heyu had already gotten up and walked to Zhuran's side, looked into her eyes and said, "So what? ”

"So... So don't play games with me anymore, I don't want to be jealous, I don't want to compete for favor, but I'm a woman after all......" Zhu Ran said and burst into tears, but these tears were not because of the previous words, but because of the words hidden in my heart in the second half of the sentence: So don't push me again, don't let my heart die completely......

Hearing Zhu Ran say this, Zhu Heyu smiled with satisfaction, hugged Zhu Ran and said, "I promise that there will be no things today in the future." ”

Zhu Ran watched Zhu Heyu touch her face with the hand that was holding Zhang Yuying's waist just now, and saw his lips come over again, she didn't know if Zhu Heyu had kissed Zhang Yuying just now, when she hadn't come to the Yiqing Palace. Thinking of this, when Zhu Heyu tried to gently open her red lips, a strong feeling of nausea came up, she held back the retching she subconsciously wanted, ducked her head back, and moved some distance from Zhu Heyu.

"What's wrong?" Regarding Zhu Ran's abrupt refusal, Zhu Heyu asked very unhappily.

Zhu Ran smiled, raised his arm and touched his arm lightly and said, "I heard that Dong Jie refused the title and reward, and plans to return to the ancestral home of the Dong family. I haven't met him, but he's my cousin after all, and can I see him before he leaves? ”

Zhu Heyu thought that this was just an ordinary coquettish like on weekdays. lowered his head and kissed Zhu Ran lightly on the forehead, and then said softly: "You kiss me, and I will agree." ”

Zhu Ran thought that Dong Jie's revenge had been avenged, and she was afraid that she had lost the will to live, and she really wanted to meet him. Turning his head sideways, the dragonfly kissed Zhu Heyu on the left side of his face.

"I'm talking about the right cheek!" Zhu Heyu smiled boredly.

Seeing that he was happy, Zhu Ran tried to break free of him, and said, "You don't believe in your words......"

Zhu Heyu put the things in mind, and the efficiency is naturally high. Early the next morning, Zhu Ran met Dong Jie. Dong Jie couldn't enter the harem and waited for Zhuran in Panjun Pavilion.

When Zhu Ran arrived, a few feet away, the first thing that caught his eye was Dong Jie's cold and lonely back, even if he saw that his waist board was very straight because the Dong family had restored its reputation, Zhu Ran couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. In this walled country, there is one less high-spirited, honest and loving official, what is it, he is alone, too insignificant.

When Zhu Ran walked to the pavilion, Dong Jie noticed Zhu Ran, and knelt on the ground abruptly, and before Zhu Ran could react, he had already kowtowed three times.

Zhu Ran bent down to help Dong Jie up, and when he touched his arm, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, how could he be so thin, except for the bones and a layer of flesh on his arm, he couldn't touch the slightest bit of flesh, and said softly: "Cousin shouldn't thank me in this way......"

Dong Jie's numb and sunken eyes finally had a round of affection, looked at Zhu Ran, and said with a forced smile: "Saying goodbye to my cousin today is a farewell." ”

Sure enough, as Zhu Ran expected, Zhu Ran looked at Dong Jie and said: "My cousin can't leave yet, even if my cousin leaves, I won't say anything to my grandfather and uncle when I get there, find a comfortable and comfortable place, marry a wife and have children, the Dong family can't be left behind." ”

This is the truth, but at the same time, it also deeply pokes Dong Jie's pain. He had a son with his wife Lin, and they had a very good relationship. If it weren't for Lu Zihan's frame-up, he would have lived a rich and happy life.

"I... I think she ...... with the child" Dong Jie stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately grabbed the railing in the pavilion.

"Cousin," Zhu Ran patted Dong Jie on the shoulder and said softly, "Be strong, grandfather and uncle... And my cousin...... They are all watching you from heaven! ”

Zhu Ran held back the look in his eyes that was about to fall, and said the last word to Dong Jie: "Take care ......"
