"The concubine was sleeping in a daze, and I heard the palace maid whispering, I don't know which one accidentally saw Li Huwei coming to Jinyang Palace with the princess of the north, and the news spread to Jinhuayuan, and the concubine couldn't sleep, so she hurried over." The queen explained for her arrival that if Simon Xianchu really wanted to track down, it would be better to track down the unintentional person.

"Hehe, the queen also cares about her son and daughter-in-law, so she came to Jinyang Palace, so she doesn't have to explain to me." Ximen Xianchu patted the queen's hand and said, "It just so happens that you are also here, why don't you also teach the princess of the north?" ”

"I should talk about the princess of the north," the queen nodded, turned to Su Ran's painting, and straightened the posture of the mother's world, "Although the emperor didn't punish you, if you hadn't given birth to a place that made the king of the south misunderstand, how would the king of the south dare to do such a thing recklessly?" In the future, you must correct your behavior, and if there is any more inappropriateness, the royal family will not tolerate you. ”

"Son, remember." Su Ran painted obediently.

A "son-in-law" made the queen frown slightly, and she didn't dare to show anything because of the emperor.

Su Ranhua smiled secretly, this pair of people is really interesting, one wants her to defend the position of the princess of the north, and the other is trying to get rid of her, it seems that the struggle in the palace is everywhere.

"Alright, go back and remember what I said." Ximen Xianchu waved his hand towards Su Ran's painting.

Only Su Ranhua himself understood the warning meaning, the true meaning.

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Su Ran painted a regular manner, even if the displeasure on the queen's face went straight to her eyes, even if she was not uncommon in this identity, but in front of the emperor, she could only call herself so.

Ximen Xianchu did not let people send Su Ran to paint out of the palace, it seems that this road out of the palace has to go by himself.

"Dye and paint, dye and paint!"

As soon as she walked out of Jinyang Palace, Su Ranhua was stopped by a crisp voice, turned her head suspiciously, and saw a girl dressed in bright clothes running towards her.

"Wrong, I should call you Second Imperial Sister-in-law now." The girl ran to Su Ran's picture, stuck out her tongue, and changed her words, "Imperial sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember the evening?" ”

"Are you...... Late? Su Ran read the name, guessing the identity of the girl, she looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and called herself the imperial sister-in-law, presumably which princess it was.

"Humph!" Ximen pouted in displeasure, "I heard the Fourth Emperor Brother say that you can't recognize us, I still don't believe it, although we haven't seen each other for five years, but I recognize you at a glance, but you can't even remember who I am!" ”

"I'm sorry, princess, five years is a flash for some people, but there are countless things to go through for dyeing and painting, so some people and things can't be remembered." Su Ran explained for himself.

"Also," Ximen Wan didn't really get angry, but sighed, "Although when I first told the second emperor brother that I was married, the ministers all said that you were the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and a major minister of the imperial court, but I know that your life in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not good, and I should have asked the second emperor brother to take you to know the royal clan together, but you don't have such a thing at all, presumably the second emperor brother is still annoyed about being forced to marry by Lord Su, so that we have obviously become a family, but we haven't met yet." This second emperor brother is really, obviously he is at fault first, but he is cold and unwilling to bear it! ”

Listening to Ximen's chatter and complaints, Su Ranhua just smiled slightly.

"Imperial sister-in-law," Ximen Wan licked his thirsty lips, "You can leave Jinyang Palace safely, there should be nothing wrong, right?" Let's sit down together. ”

As he spoke, Ximen Wan grabbed Su Ranhua's arm and pulled her towards the bluestone brick road on the side

"Princess, you didn't come to me for you, did you?" Su Ranhua asked while following Ximen Wan. unexpectedly met a princess outside Jinyang Palace, which happened to make her disbelieve.

"How not?" Ximen Wan grinned and said, "I heard that you have arrived at Jinyang Palace, so I came here, not to mention that you have become my imperial sister-in-law, it is really not easy to see once!" The last time you were locked up in the criminal room, I happened to accompany the Queen Mother's grandmother to Wan'an Temple, and I heard about you afterwards, but I was worried for a long time. ”

"Thank you, princess, for your concern." Su Ran painted.

"Imperial sister-in-law, can you not take a bite of a princess? It's better to call me late. Simon frowned unhappily and protested.

"Okay, evening, where are you taking me?" Su Ran asked.

"Go to my Bamboo Pavilion." Ximen said later, "I said five years ago that I would take you to my residence to play, but I didn't expect that after five years, I couldn't get out of the palace all day long, if you didn't become my imperial sister-in-law, we don't know how long it would take to meet again!" ”

Cuizhu Pavilion is just a very small attic, and it is very inferior to other magnificent halls in the palace.

"It's small, isn't it?" Walking into the Cuizhu Pavilion, Ximen asked with a smile.

"It's enough to live, and it's a waste to be so big." Su Ran's painting doesn't matter, this is better than her Wutong Residence, compared with the third lady's side courtyard, I don't know how many times better, after all, the princess is the princess.

"Yes, without a concubine, I really can't live in those gardens alone." Ximen said late, a trace of depression flashed on his face.

"Late, these chrysanthemums grow so well!" Su Ranhua leaned against the window and saw a splendid autumn chrysanthemum behind the attic, so he changed the topic.

"It's beautiful, I grew it myself." Ximen Wan's face was proud, "You sit first, I'll come when I go!" ”

As he spoke, Simon ran out of the house happily.

After a while, I heard Ximenwan's crisp voice, "Fourth Emperor Brother, why do you look wilted, but I begged Concubine Yao for a long time before you were allowed to come to me." ”

Brother of the Four Emperors?

Su Ranhua in the house heard Ximen Wan call out this title, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, he glanced at the window with cold eyes, and just thought about whether he should jump out of the window, the door was pushed open.

Ximen Wan pulled Ximen Zhe into the house.

When Ximen Zhe's gaze touched Su Ran's painting, he froze.

Ximen Wan looked at the two of them with a smug face, "See, this is what I single-handedly facilitated, the moment when the three of us met again after five years." Imperial sister-in-law, fourth imperial brother, are you surprised? ”

"Dyeing ...... Imperial sister-in-law. Ximen Zhe stared intently at Su Ran's painting, as if she had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"King of the West." Su Ranhua withdrew from the window and bowed slightly.

"Come on, come on, the three of us will sit down in the Cuizhu Pavilion today." Ximen Wan dragged Ximen Zhe to the table, "I have asked Xiaoyun to prepare snacks and fruits, and we will talk while eating." ”

Saying that, Simon went to Lasu to dye and paint again in the evening.

"Later, let's talk next time, I should go back to the palace." Su Ranhua had no intention of staying, and overheard the conversation between Ximen Yi's mother and son, she knew that she and Ximen Zheke were sensitive people at this time.

"Imperial sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of those rumors in the palace?" Ximen didn't follow at night, flashing his big watery eyes, and looked at the two people, "You and the Four Emperor Brothers have known each other before, what is there to say a few more words?" Although the gossip is terrible, but what about me, can't I stop those people's mouths even if I am there? I just want to sit together, five years ago when we flew a kite together in the back mountain of Wan'an Temple, it was the happiest thing I ever did, and you are the only friend I know outside the palace. ”

"Can't you stay?" Ximen Zhe looked at Su Ran's painting and asked softly.

Although it was a few words of indifference that I tried to hide, it carried a heavy pleading. All he had to do was sit facing each other for a while.
