Chapter 5: The Long Couple
Pei Ruolan never thought that she would be placed under house arrest by King Wei.
Luo was framed and tyrannized, and the laws of the Yun Dynasty were like nothing in his eyes.
Looking at everything in the bedroom in front of her, she felt a dull and painful heart.
At this moment, I don't know if the person who sent the letter at home sent the news of the postponement of the marriage to the Lu family?
Hongming has always done things well, and at this hour, he was afraid that he had already changed into his wedding clothes, so he would take a group of maids to the house to pick up his relatives.
And Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu have also been preparing for their happy event since the beginning of the year, and the wedding sticker was sent down early, presumably at this time the house was full of guests, waiting to drink the wedding wine.
Everything was ready, but who would have thought that she, as the bride, would be under house arrest in this Wei palace at this moment?
After today, I am afraid that the Lu family will become the laughing stock of the entire Shangjing......
Thinking of this, Pei Ruolan became more and more sad. In just one day, she has been staying up for more than a year.
At nightfall, Huo Zhun came back from outside in the bright moonlight.
He was in a purple robe and jade crown, and he was handsome, walked to the table, put his hand on Pei Ruolan's shoulder very naturally, and lowered his eyes, "I heard from the next person, you haven't had dinner yet?" β
Pei Ruolan was full of grievances in her heart, where could she eat, she frowned and swept his hand, "How can the prince let go of our brothers and sisters?" β
Huo Zhun slowly withdrew his hand, and when he didn't hear her cold questioning, he instructed the maid to bring the dinner in, looked at the two of them coldly and said, "If you don't serve Miss Pei well, you don't have to stay in the Wei Palace." β
When the two maidservants heard this, they knelt down at Pei Ruolan's feet in fear, "I beg the girl to have mercy, you can have some food." β
Pei Ruolan saw the fear and pleading in the eyes of the two of them clearly, what was the difference between them and her, they were just ants under Huo Zhun's feet, thinking like this, a thin layer of anger appeared on her face, "Why should the prince be angry with others?" β
Huo Zhun sat down beside Pei Ruolan, flicked the hem of the python robe, looked at her, and said ruthlessly, "You can't share your worries for this king, and it's useless to keep it." β
The corners of the two maidservants' eyes were slightly red, and they wanted to cry, looking at the appearance of thirteen or fourteen years old, if they were expelled from the palace, what would they do.
Pei Ruolan couldn't help but soften her heart, she sighed silently, and compromised, "Don't embarrass them, don't embarrass them, I'll use it for dinner." β
Huo Zhun waved his hand, and the two maidservants withdrew as if they had been pardoned.
Pei Ruolan picked up the jade chopstick, picked up a piece of cucumber, and ate it with the same taste as chewing wax.
Huo Zhun's deep eyes lingered on her creamy face, and her throat swallowed lightly.
Pei Ruolan noticed Huo Zhun's gaze and frowned, "What does the prince want me to do?" β
Huo Zhun smiled deeply, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.
Pei Ruolan ate a few more chopsticks before stopping, and after the maidservant removed the dishes, she looked at Huo Zhun, "How long will the prince imprison me?" β
Huo Zhun pondered for a moment and said, "You care so much about your brother, this king will give you a chance." Only one person, you and Pei Riwen, can return to Pei's house, and you can choose who goes back. β
Pei Ruolan never thought that Huo Zhun would throw such a problem at her, and in an instant, the blood on her face faded.
Before he came back, she seriously thought about what had happened in the past two days, and coupled with Huo Zhun's reaction just now, she clearly noticed that he didn't just want to have a spring breeze with her, but had a side thought.
Thinking like this, she slowly raised her head and said tentatively, "The prince has spent so much effort, won't he want to be a long-term husband and wife with me?" β
Huo Zhun and Pei Ruolan looked at each other, their dark eyes became deeper and deeper, like a deep pool, hiding thousands of emotions, for a long time, their fingertips tapped the desktop and sneered, "A long-term husband and wife, Miss Pei thinks too highly of herself." β
"Then why does the prince force me to stay in the palace?"
Huo Zhun glanced at her, his gaze moved from her red lips to her snow-white slender neck, and finally landed on the slightly open placket, and said lazily, "It's just a little fresh." β
After a pause, he added, "Have you thought about it?" Do you go back, or do you go back? β
Pei Ruolan looked away, tugged at the placket of her clothes, and fell silent. Huo Zhun's mind was so clear, she just walked out of the Wei Palace, but she was afraid that she couldn't escape from the palm of his hand.
The elder brother's legs had to be needled on time, and he and his father's protΓ©gΓ©s were old acquaintances, and if he could get out, he would definitely find a way to get her back.
Thinking like this, Pei Ruolan had an idea in her heart.
