Chapter 4: The Prince's Visit
Chapter 4: The Prince's Visit
In the afternoon, Lan Ling'er was reading a book in the Lingyue Pavilion, since Amaterasu Province unified the world more than seventy years ago. With the passage of time, those who began to be clear and clear gradually turned into decay, not to mention, the origin of this dynasty is not so formal. This also made many of the original vassal states eager to try, not to mention annexing Amaterasu, at least thinking about how to become independent.
And the emperor of the dynasty is a suspicious character, Mu Wangfu and Lan Mansion seem to be glamorous, but in fact, they are cautious everywhere, for fear of an accident, they will be caught by the royal family, which will lead to the disaster of annihilation.
Putting down the book, Lan Ling'er came to the window, looking at the spring color in the courtyard, how bright the colors are, warm and open, but I don't know how much the sun is shining on the bright side, and how much dirt and dimness there is in private.
"Miss!"
Sakura's voice sounded from outside the door, Lan Ling'er put away her emotions and replied softly, "Come in!" ”
"Squeak!" The door was pushed open, Lan Ling'er turned her head, and saw a trace of worry on Yinghong's face, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss, the second prince is visiting, and the master has just returned. Let the young lady go to the front room. ”
Lan Ling'er's heart moved, her father came back, and her eyes moistened in an instant, the man who was always tall in front of her, the man who held up a piece of the sky for herself with her bare hands. Clenching his fists and suppressing his overly full emotions, Lan Ling'er walked out.
When she came to the hall, Lan Ling'er saw Lan Yuan and Dongfang Yi sitting opposite each other, and Lan Xuewu sat at the bottom, her delicate tender yellow color showed her sweet temperament, and when she saw Dongfang Yi's gloomy face, she knew that she was fighting for Lan Xuewu.
Lan Ling'er couldn't help sneering in her heart, without a pause at her feet.
Her appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, but she saw Lan Ling'er's face pale with a detached and well-placed smile, "Daddy, second prince." ”
Dongfang Yi looked at the woman in front of him, calm and natural, without the slightest artificiality, and couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart. His understanding of Lan Ling'er was still limited to Lan Xuewu's description, and at this time, when he really looked at her so closely, he suddenly had an unreal feeling.
Originally, they made an appointment to watch the peach blossoms together, and then designed to make Lan Ling'er fall in love with her, so that she could have the opportunity to get close to Lan Mansion, after all, although Lan Xue Wu was also the young lady of Lan Mansion, the identity of the concubine, coupled with Lan Yuan's neglect, made her have no chance to contact too many things at all.
It's just that I didn't expect that it was Mu Yuyan who went halfway, Miss Mu Fu, everything was off track, and in desperation, I had to save Mu Yuyan first according to the original plan, and then I said, I was already cautious, so as not to be seen, but I didn't expect that there would be rumors all over the world just after I came back.
This also made him have to think about the whole thing, as soon as he returned to the prince's mansion, he heard that Lan Xuewu was burned in the morning, and in the whole incident, only Lan Ling'er stayed out of the matter, so he couldn't doubt it.
Lan Yuan looked at Lan Ling'er's eyes with a flash of satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You sit down, the second prince is visiting, I just want to greet you two sisters." ”
Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, looked at Dongfang Yi with a smile, and clenched the hand in her sleeve, but she didn't move, "Ling'er is fortunate to make the second prince worry." ”
But seeing that Dongfang Yi was obviously stunned, anyone could hear the sarcasm in the words, and couldn't help but feel a sudden thought, thinking that it was difficult for her to see through their plan, but there was no loophole in it. shook off the suspicion in his head and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, don't see outside, Yi just saw that our two families lived so closely, but there was very little contact, so I thought that I would often come over to disturb it in the future and get closer to each other." ”
"Really?" Lan Ling'er tilted her head and thought, her slightly furrowed brows made her originally beautiful face even more beautiful, just like a girl who didn't know anything about the world, stumped by some incurable disease, and couldn't help but make people happy.
Dongfang Yi looked at her innocent expression, and couldn't help but move, thinking if her guess was wrong, this concubine of the Blue Mansion was not a ruthless character, in fact, she was just a little girl.
Lan Xue Wu on the opposite side couldn't help but look at Dongfang Yi who looked at Lan Ling'er like this, and then pulled out a weak smile, and said, "Sister, don't mind anymore, although Xue Wu has a big blood blister on her hand, she should be fine." ”
Lan Ling'er set her eyes on Lan Xuewu, and saw that her delicate hands were wrapped in layers of white cloth, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, this person is too powerful, although he was burned, but there was no need to wrap his whole hands into zongzi.
Looking at the expression on her face and glancing at the pity in Dongfang Yi's eyes, Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly, but she also said apologetically: "How can my sister say that?" It's all my sister's, but I didn't expect my sister to suddenly cook porridge for me, and my sister was moved for a while, so I just..."
Lan Yuan looked at the back and forth of the two daughters below, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
Lan Xuewu obviously didn't expect Lan Ling'er, who was usually cold, to suddenly reply, she was depressed for a moment, but she also pretended to smile, her beautiful eyes glanced at Dongfang Yi opposite, her face was slightly red, making her originally pale face more rosy.
Lan Ling'er chuckled, her crisp laughter was exceptionally clear in such a quiet place, but it was not annoying.
I saw Dongfang Yi looking at the delicate girl below, this was the first time he found out that Lan Ling'er had such a delicate side, "What is Sister Lan laughing at?" ”
Lan Ling'er covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Dongfang Yi in dismay, like a frightened little white rabbit, but with a natural charm, which made people protective, "I only... I..." As he spoke, he glanced at Lan Xuewu.
In an instant, Dongfang Yigang's good feelings disappeared in an instant.
Lan Ling'er saw it in her eyes, but she didn't move, she just continued the unfinished words, "I just think my sister's face is a little ruddy, so it looks better." ”
Suddenly, Dongfang Yi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he couldn't help but look at Lan Xue Wu on the side, and his face gradually became gloomy.
At the same time, I have a lot of good feelings for this true temperament of Miss Lanfu, I originally thought that she was just a young lady who stayed at home, arrogant and arrogant, and at the same time bored and ignorant, bullying my sister, but I didn't expect that what I really saw was not the same as what I heard from others.
Lan Xuewu heard Lan Ling'er's admiration, and looked at Dongfang Yi with a hint of panic, but saw that Dongfang Yi didn't even give her a look, and her originally ruddy face turned pale in an instant. Lan Ling'er saw it in her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, this is the effect she wants.
"Prime Minister Lan, Yi still has something to do, so I'll retire first." Dongfang Yi said slightly like Lan Yuan.
"The second prince walks slowly." Lan Yuan didn't have any urge to keep people.
After Dongfang Yi left, Lan Yuan looked at his two daughters, then stayed on Lan Ling'er, sighed softly, and left.
Looking at her father's straight back, Lan Ling'er's eyes were sour, but she couldn't bear to let the tears flow, more often, the tears were only reserved for the weak, she didn't want to be the weak.
Glancing at Lan Xuewu, who was slumped in the chair, a sneer overflowed from the corner of Lan Ling'er's mouth, and she said coldly, "People are watching the sky, Lan Xuewu, don't think that you can hide from the sky and cover the sky with one hand." ”
Lan Ling'er deliberately asked Ying Hong to invite Dongfang Yi so that he could come to Lan Mansion because he was worried about Lan Xuewu and at the same time had doubts about the morning's affairs, so that she would have the opportunity to expose Lan Xuewu's lies, what kind of cold story of the concubine bullying the concubine was just orchestrated by Lan Xuewu.
Although she didn't care about her reputation, she had to care about the possibility that Lan Xue Wu might betray Lan Mansion at any time, so at least, next time, when Lan Xue Wu was talking about something, Dongfang Yi would consider whether it was true or false.
Coming to Lan Yuan's study, Lan Ling'er took a deep breath and pushed the door in.
"Daddy."
Lan Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked at his daughter standing at the door, with mixed feelings in his heart, this is the child he watched grow up, "Say it." ”
Lan Ling'er's heart moved, Shui Lingling's eyes looked at Lan Yuan, and said, "What does Daddy want me to say?" ”
Lan Yuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't speak. Lan Ling'er sighed helplessly, knowing that no matter what she did, she couldn't hide it from her father, but she didn't know how to explain it, she took a deep breath and said: "I don't want to work heartlessly under my father's wing, Ling'er wants to be glorious, wants to protect the Blue Mansion, and wants to make the people living here have no worries." In the end, Lan Ling'er added in her heart, I want my father to be more relaxed.
Obviously, I didn't expect Lan Ling'er to have such thoughts, shocked, relieved, worried... All kinds of emotions swept over Lan Yuan's face one by one, and finally turned into a silent smile, Lan Ling'er knew that no matter what she did, Lan Yuan would be her strongest backing. He is his own father, the only person in this world who will never betray him.
