Chapter 3: Like a Dream

Luo Lianyi looked at his flirtatious expression, listening to his flirtatious tone, anger grew stronger and stronger in her heart, she tried her best to struggle, but she couldn't break free at all.

"Can you participate in your draft in the Tanglin Kingdom?" The prince's fingers pressed on Luo Lianyi's eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly changed again, becoming serious and serious, with a hint of fierceness.

Luo Lianyi didn't know what the draft was, she looked at him blankly, she tried to recall and search according to the memory of this body, and finally vaguely remembered a little more.

Tanglin Guoguang draft girl, she was handed over by the county order to the list portrait, and because of this, she and her childhood sweetheart cousin Fenglin both jumped off the cliff, but she fell to the bottom of the cliff and died, and her cousin was cowardly and stayed on the cliff.

"Spare your life! My lord! We Ripple will never dare to do stupid things again, and we will be optimistic that she will be selected in Kyoto as scheduled. The rippling old lady chased after her, and fell to her knees beside the carriage, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Mother! He is not from our Tanglin Kingdom, don't kowtow. Luo Lianyi looked at the blood oozing from the old lady's forehead, and said distressedly.

"Huh?" The old lady looked up in astonishment, was stunned for a moment, and then continued to bow down, and begged: "No matter where the official is, please let my poor daughter go!" ”

The prince stared at the old woman, and after a moment of silence, he let go of the hand that was holding Luo Lianyi, and returned to the cushion to lie down without saying a word.

The prince lazily slept back on the cushion, waved his hand, and motioned for Luo Lianyi to leave. Luo Lianyi just wanted to jump out of the carriage by herself, but Xiao Zhu hugged her waist again and took her to the ground gently.

"Thank you." Luo Lianyi looked at her and said.

Xiao Zhu's face was expressionless, he jumped on the horse, waved his whip, and commanded the team to set off. The sound of horses' hooves and billowing smoke drifted away on the official road.

"Mother," Luo Lianyi picked up the old lady who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at her bleeding forehead distressedly, "Is there any medicine at home?" Let's go back and rub the medicine. ”

"It's okay, Ripples, your cousin is here." The old lady fingered to the side. Luo Lianyi looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a boy with clear eyebrows and cowering eyes, hiding behind a tree, looking at him timidly.

Luo Lianyi supports his forehead! This is the type of boy she doesn't want to see! Ancient ripples, what kind of vision do you have, really, and jump off a cliff for him! She shook her head and sighed, and helped her mother home.

"Ripples! Ripples! Don't you forgive me? ”

The cousin actually cried and chased after him, Luo Lianyi didn't notice a chill, she turned around suddenly, glared at him with white eyes, her eyes showed murderous anger, her cousin was directly killed by her eyes, and she didn't dare to come over when she stood in place.

Back in the dilapidated home, the old lady quickly got angry with the fire, and wanted Ripples to sit by the fire, the cold wind was gusting outside, and Ripples guessed that it should be the winter solstice.

"Mother, I fell, I don't remember a lot of things clearly, what draft? Tell me more about it. Luo Lianyi asked the old lady.

When the old lady talked about the draft, tears fell from her eyes, and she slowly told Ripples from beginning to end.

Tanglin draft, not for the emperor of the country to choose, this time the selection of the show girl, is to be sent to the neighboring Xiling Emperor, Tanglin and Xiling for many years at war, Tanglin repeatedly defeated, in order to cede the land for peace, but also promised to select the first beauty of Tanglin to send to Xiling, as the Xiling Emperor's imperial concubine. Ripple has been a well-known beauty in the village since she was a child, especially a little red mole between her eyebrows, which makes her even more different, so she was exempted from the layers of brushing, and the roster was directly submitted by the county order, just waiting to enter Beijing on a certain day to participate in the general election.

While Luo Lianyi listened, she quickly thought of a question in her heart-if she was selected to be the imperial concubine of the Xiling Emperor, wouldn't she become the mother concubine of the ridiculous prince just now? It's bloody!

"Ripples, if you go to Xiling, our mother and daughter will never see each other again." The old lady hugged her and cried.

"Mother, no matter where the ripples go, I will take you with me." Luo Lianyi hugged her and said.

"Silly boy, how can it be." The old lady cried more and more sadly.

Luo Lianyi also cried unconsciously, she traveled through her dreams, and she didn't know what the physical condition was, her mother must be crying like this.

At this moment, my cousin ran in from outside, knelt on the ground and hugged Ripple Niang's thigh and cried: "Auntie, Ripple, why don't I run away with you!" I'm sorry Ripple, I'm going to sacrifice my life to protect her for the rest of my life! ”

"I'll go! Can you still protect me? Danger is coming, I'm afraid you can run faster than a monkey! Luo Lianyi looked at his bear-like appearance, frowned and scolded, hating to kick him away.

"Wind forest, where can we escape? was caught by the government, and the lives of the whole clan were not guaranteed, and we can't drag the clansmen down. Ripple Niang said with tears in her eyes.

"If you can't escape, then I'll follow Sister Lianyi into Beijing and protect her all the way." Cousin Fenglin seems to be really affectionate.

"You're a man, can you follow you?" Ripple Niang said.

"I-I--if I don't let --I-I-I'll be from the palace! In short, I follow Sister Ripple in life and death. Feng Lin gritted his teeth and said.

Luo Lianyi held her forehead again, she lifted the wind forest, and said in the tone of the ancients: "Let's think about it in the long run, and think about it in the long run." ”

Let's say that Prince Xiling and his entourage, stopped at the post house this night, and the post house officials did not dare to slack off, and prepared wine and food for them early to welcome their arrival.

The reputation of the prince of Xiling, Liufan, who is lascivious and lewd, has long been spread far and wide, and everyone in his neighboring countries knows it.

There were several stunning palace maids serving around Liufan, and when he saw the singers coming up, his half-squinted eyes lazily raised, and he looked over the faces of the singers, and suddenly kicked over the table, and said angrily: "What kind of goods, dare to send them to this prince, get down!" ”

The singers looked at each other and pouted and retreated.

The innkeeper was bored, so he had to prepare another drink, and then they were busy with their own things, and they didn't dare to bother the prince again. After dinner, Liufan returned to the guest room surrounded by all the palace maids, and the rest of the guards stayed outside the post house to guard, only the woman in black, Xiao Zhu, followed him.

The night was deep, the north wind was howling outside the window, the nephrite in the window was warm and fragrant, Prince Liufan hugged the left and right on the couch, Xiaozhu silently guarded the door, and the cold wind blew her thin body a little shrunk.

Liufan pushed away the palace maid, got up and took a fox fur cloak, walked to the door and draped it on Xiaozhu.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Xiao Zhu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"You sleep in the middle of the night, and I'll sleep in the second half of the night." Liufan's mouth moved, and he used the technique of sound transmission and secret to transmit the sound into Xiao Zhu's ears, so that no one else could hear it.

Xiao Zhu didn't answer, just quietly turned around and walked outside the door, leaning against the wall with her cloak and closing her eyes.
