Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Game Within a Game
Lan Ling'er frowned, "I don't know why Concubine Yun said that?" ”
"Presumably Miss Lan knows it in her heart, since you don't want to marry my emperor, why do you give him your personal jade pendant?" At this time, Concubine Yun had a deep contempt in her eyes.
Without waiting for Lan Ling'er to speak, he continued: "Put away your careful thoughts, my emperor is the prince of Amaterasu, and those tricks that want to capture and indulge in the past should be saved, even if he wants to marry you, he must pass my level first." ”
Lan Ling'er had to admire the imagination of the Yun Concubine in front of her, but she quickly calmed down, her close-fitting jade pendant only had one piece, and she had always carried it with her since she was born, but she forgot to put it on when she took it off a few days ago.
Since Concubine Yun is talking about jade pendants now, it proves that that thing is now in the hands of Dongfang Yi or Concubine Yun.
Such a private thing in the daughter's house fell into the hands of others, and even if there were a thousand mouths, it would not be clear at that time, Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed coldly, but she quickly calmed down.
"I never thought of marrying into the royal family, I guess someone must have framed me, as for the matter of the jade pendant, Ling'er can't talk about it." Lan Ling'er said lightly.
But I heard Concubine Yun sarcastically say: "You are so bold, you dare to deceive this palace." Concubine Yun's angry voice immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Seeing that more and more people on the side were paying attention to this, the corners of Lan Ling'er's mouth raised slightly, and she wanted to know how the people behind her got her jade pendant. After the wind was dyed, the Blue Mansion was full of secret guards, and the Lingyue Pavilion was guarded by a special person, how could it be stolen so easily.
Seeing that Dongfang Yi was also stunned for a moment at this time, Lan Ling'er guessed that even he didn't know about this matter, originally she guessed that something would happen today, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. Lan Ling'er always felt that there seemed to be a black hand manipulating everything behind this, but there was no clue.
Just as Lan Ling'er was about to speak, she saw Luo Yan on the side looking at her with a concerned face, smiled lightly, gorgeous and amazing, and said: "It's Yan who is confused, originally I was just curious about the material of the jade pendant and borrowed it, but I didn't expect it to be left behind last time when I was in the Second Prince's Mansion." Sorry for the misunderstanding. ”
Everyone looked at the two of them in surprise, and Concubine Yun was also stunned, and she recovered in an instant, frowning and said, "This palace has never known when Prince Luo Yan and Miss Lan have any intersections?" ”
But seeing Luo Yan said unhurriedly: "It was true that there was no before, but the last time Princess Jiaoyang and Miss Lan went to the Prince's Mansion, Yan happened to be there, and then left with Miss Lan, that is, at that time, I found that the jade pendant on Miss Lan was a rare red jade, so I wanted to borrow it." Yan has always liked all kinds of jade. ”
As he spoke, he bowed to Lan Ling'er and said, "It's abrupt that has caused such a big trouble to Miss Lan, and I hope Miss Lan won't be weird." ”
Suddenly, everyone had different eyes, Lan Ling'er couldn't understand Luo Yan's behavior, and Luo Yan, who was aloof, indifferent and cold, would tell such a lie in order to help her, and it could be seen from Luo Xiyun's stunned expression on the side that he was obviously not the same as usual at this time.
Dongfang Yi's face was stunned, and there was a deep surprise in his eyes, the prince who had been in the royal family for so many years, he naturally knew that there must be something else hidden in this, as for the matter of Yu Pei, he really didn't know.
Lan Ling'er chuckled, cast a grateful look at Luo Yan, and then turned her eyes to Dongfang Yi, and said, "I wonder why Ling'er has ever presented a jade pendant to the second prince?" ”
But seeing Dongfang Yi glanced at Concubine Yun who was seated, a trace of doubt appeared on her gentle face, and when she was about to speak, Concubine Yun who was sitting could hear her say: "You didn't give a jade pendant to my emperor, how could the jade pendant appear in the Second Prince's Mansion and be seen by Magu?" As she spoke, she saw that on Concubine Yun's outstretched palm, what suddenly appeared was Lan Ling'er's blood-red jade pendant, which was the same material as Lan Xuan's.
"I don't know if Magu is here?" Lan Ling'er asked calmly. Seeing Lan Ling'er who was in such a state of danger, it suddenly made people's eyes shine, and a touch of deep thought appeared on the face of Prince Dongfang Yu, while Dongfang Qi put away his smile, and there was a strong interest in his eyes.
At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a navy blue palace maid's dress appeared in Lan Ling'er's field of vision, and said respectfully: "Miss Lan, this is what I found in the second prince's room when I went to the Second Prince's Mansion this morning. Seeing that the word 'spirit' was engraved on it, he was curious and showed it to Concubine Yun. ”
When Dongfang Yi heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, Lan Ling'er saw it in her eyes, it was rumored that Concubine Yun was very strict with Dongfang Yi, and she had to get her consent in the slightest, and Dongfang Yi was filial and obedient to her, but now he openly took things from his room, presumably he had violated his bottom line.
And this jade pendant matter, Lan Ling'er knew that someone must have taken advantage of her absence to sneak into the Lan Mansion, and then appeared in the room of the Second Prince's Mansion, and happened to be discovered by Magu.
Obviously, someone did it on purpose, but Lan Ling'er couldn't figure out how to help the people behind the scenes by creating the scandal between her and Dongfang Yi. Or is he just using himself to deal with Dongfang Yi? The water of the royal family seems to be getting more and more mixed.
"Since it was Prince Luo Yan who borrowed it to see it and accidentally lost it in the Second Prince's Mansion, it must have been discovered by a maid, thinking that it was the Second Prince's fall, so he put it back in his room, and it happened to be discovered by Magu, and it is not impossible. Concubine Yun must have misunderstood. The prince on the side said lightly.
I saw that the eldest princess also said kindly: "Yes, it's just a misunderstanding." If Miss Lan really wants to marry into the Second Prince's Mansion, she agreed at the Flower Viewing Conference last time, and the Second Prince even promised 'a pair', what else could she ask for? ”
Suddenly, I saw Concubine Yun's face stiffen, originally she came over today to teach Lan Ling'er, a little girl, openly refused to marry at the flower viewing conference, and when she got the jade pendant, she didn't think much about it, so she thought it was her calculation, but she didn't want to be calculated by others in the end.
With frost on his cloudy face, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, this matter is over, I just hope that Miss Lan will not give her personal things to others at will." ”
As he spoke, he threw the jade pendant out, Lan Ling'er was stunned, and hurriedly caught it, but fortunately there was no loss, and her delicate face was also stained with a chill at this time. said coldly: "Please also ask Concubine Yun not to damage other people's things at will." "This is something that has been with her since she was a child, and the words on it were engraved by Murong Bing herself, and Lan Ling'er has always kept it like a baby.
The bone-chilling cold made everyone present stunned, but when they saw the Dongfang Sun on the side, their eyes flashed slightly, and they said: "That's it, if it is broken, where will you compensate?" ”
"The scorching sun is presumptuous!" Concubine Rou on the side couldn't help but scold.
But when she saw Dongfang Jiaoyang sticking out her tongue, she stood aside obediently, and Concubine Yun's face was like frost at this time, even in the harem like a wolf and a tiger, she had never been treated like this, but she looked down on Lan Ling'er too much, and she believed in Dongfang Yi's charm too much.
A smile bloomed on Dongfang Yi's gentle face on the side, but with a hint of far-fetchedness, Lan Ling'er's refusal to marry at the flower viewing meeting could not be said to have no impact on him, although his goal was achieved, so that the emperor canceled his doubts, but it also hit his self-esteem.
He was a dignified prince, but he was rejected, which of course made him treat Lan Ling'er differently.
It's just that now it's been mentioned again, and I have to say that it's slapping him in the face, "Brother Huang is right, just now the prince was still confused, but he didn't want to be like this, Prince Luo Yan had indeed been to the Second Prince's Mansion, and he thought he was there to do it." The mother concubine was also provoked by someone with a heart, so she misunderstood like this, and I hope that Sister Lan will not be surprised. ”
Wen Run's voice spread throughout the garden, everyone suddenly realized, and the image of the gentle prince in front of him seemed to have become less high, too many things happened at the last flower viewing conference, and many people's focus was on Lan Ling'er's virtuous character, Lan Xuewu's side concubine, and Mu Xinghan's first exit, but this time it was all focused on Dongfang Yi's rejection.
In addition, although Concubine Yun's framing this time was not done by Dongfang Yi himself, he could not escape any suspicion, after all, at the beginning, he did not make any explanation.
It's just that the aura on Lan Ling'er's body seems to have another layer, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Yan is helping her speak. Luo Yan Gongzi is notoriously cold, and he can come forward for Lan Ling'er, and he immediately envy others, not to mention his Wanguan family wealth, even his elegant temperament is also excellent.
"I don't know when Sister Lan became so familiar with Luo Yangongzi?" Dongfang Qi's chuckle came from her ears, and Lan Ling'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
smiled: "Why is it familiar or not, what Luo Yan Gongzi said is just the truth." ”
"Whether it's a fact, we all know it in our hearts, right?"
Lan Ling'er glanced at Dongfang Qi, who was smiling weirdly, and did not answer.
The eldest princess glanced at everyone, her beautiful eyes paused on Lan Ling'er for a few seconds, thinking that as long as Lan Ling'er was there, it seemed that there would always be some malfunction, but she could only be helpless.
"Okay, now that things are clear, let's not speculate, let's go on, Prince Luo Yan and Miss Xiyun are the honored guests of the princess's mansion." It was back to the liveliness of the banquet.
The crowd dispersed, Lan Ling'er turned her head sideways, and she couldn't help but laugh when she caught a glimpse of Dongfang Qin's deep and Yan Qin's resentful eyes, just now the two of them were probably holding an attitude of watching a good show, but now they can only be disappointed.
"Whew... Fortunately, Sister Lan is fine. Luo Xiyun sighed, with a sincere smile on her face.
Lan Ling'er chuckled and looked at Luo Yan on the side, "Thank you for your help." ”
"You're welcome, just remember to reciprocate in the future." As he spoke, he left Lan Ling'er with a back, leaving her messy in place.
"My brother is also strange today, he never cares about such a thing, and he actually helped today." Luo Xiyun's doubts came from his ears.
Lan Ling'er frowned lightly and didn't say anything, she also saw Luo Yan's strangeness in her eyes, but she couldn't find the reason, no matter what, he did help himself today. The emperor was about to win over the Luo family, but at this time, if Luo Yan came forward to defend it, no matter what Concubine Yun did, it would be in vain.
