He should have looked at Jin Ran differently.

"How can you read my eyes?" Qingyuan suddenly remembered that he had just hinted to Jin Ran with his eyes that he had not hurt Jin Shu, he had just used his internal force to stimulate the acupoints between Jin Shu's wrists, which would only cause sudden severe pain, and the rest had no effect at all, but this was enough to make the second prince scream in pain on the spot.

"I don't think you're the one to do such a brave thing." Jin Ran was slightly stunned, and only replied lightly, but it showed that he understood him.

What --- compliment? Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say a word, it was really rare to be praised by such a reluctant prince in person! But in other words, according to Jin Ran's words, this is also a deep fasting city? This sudden thought made his originally happy mood quickly sink.

Jin Ran ignored his depressed appearance, his neck called the palace maid, and in a blink of an eye, four plates of vegetarian dishes, two dishes of game, and the powerful cold salad was accompanied by a refreshing steaming method with sauce or list, the style was exquisite, and in the unappetizing summer, he still couldn't help but move his index finger when he saw it.

The appetizing slightly sour fragrance came to his nose, and Qingyuan's belly gurgled unhappily.

"Can you use it?" Qingyuan's face was salivating, and his eyes stopped on the delicacies on the table for a moment.

"Please." Jin Ran picked up the ivory chopsticks on the table, and before he could stretch them out, he saw Qingyuan like a hungry tiger pouncing on the dishes on the table. If you want to be strict and picky, you will definitely not be able to get on the table. But such an indecent behavior moved him inexplicably.

Seeing this, Jin Ran put down his shackles, only stared at him quietly, Qingyuan was transparent in front of him as if he was getting along with his family, his informality, let a faint smile appear on his face, with joy and joy, and a trace of love, this strange emotion, even he himself was unconscious, thinking of the contact at dusk, a burning burn burned his cheeks again.

It's --- hot in the summer, isn't it?

－－－

Everyone noticed that the prince had changed.

The original prince was self-controlled, indifferent and depressed, although he did not dictate to the officials and eunuchs, and it was better to have any abuse of power, but that expression was like frost and snow, so that all the people could not spit out their doubts except for business, including chatting and caring.

However, since the appearance of the high-spirited and lively man, everything seems to have changed, the man called Qingyuan, his vigorous vitality has brought this originally lifeless Qinghun Palace to life.

The prince is calm, clear and cheerful, and the two personalities are moving and quiet, complementing each other seamlessly.

Although the prince was still silent, the frozen lines on his face softened, which made everyone who saw it involuntarily want to get close. For example, the female official who dispatched the palace servants that day actually went beyond to preach to the prince, saying that his food was too small, and the prince was embarrassed and silently accepted the care of the female official.

Everything has changed, hasn't it?

The palace servants, who had always been in the majesty of the crown prince, began to hand over their sincerity.

－－－

In the dark night, the candlelight illuminates the study, casting light and shadow on the bookcases with neatly arranged books on the four walls. Jin Ran, who was sitting in front of the bookcase, held a pen in his hand, and his focus stopped on the flickering wick of the candle, silently distracted.

"The minister knocks to see the prince."

Jin Ran was stunned and came back to his senses, saw the person standing at the door bowing clearly, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in surprise: "Taifu, why are you here?" ”

The old man with frosty sideburns and bright eyes smiled kindly, let him help himself to sit down on the acacia wood chair on the side, looked at Jin Ran who dragged a low stool to sit in front of him, doted on him from head to toe up and down, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Taifu?" Jin Ran was puzzled by Taifu's unusual behavior.

This old man is Guan Luo, the prime minister of the Lily of the Valley Kingdom, who is also the crown prince and concubine, and is Jin Ran's enlightenment teacher, but the relationship they only see is more than that, Guan Luo is the only person in Jin Ran's palace who knows Jin Ran's true identity.

"It's been twenty years, and you've grown up." Guan Luo sighed with a smile.

The queen who gave birth to a child before the full moon hugged the prince and knelt on the ground to him The scene is still in front of me, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the baby in the swaddling clothes has grown into such a handsome man in the wind, but if it weren't for the creation of people, it should be a slim girl's house standing in front of him at this moment!

The truth narrated by the queen at that time shocked him, deceive the king! and deceived the people of Lebanon. He should have brought this conspiracy to light, but he didn't, but instead promised the queen to take on the position of the crown prince, maybe the maternal love in the queen's eyes moved him, maybe the queen's deceased father was his best friend, or maybe he didn't want to see the queen's position and let the ruthless concubine occupy it!

"Taifu, you are so strange today." Jin Ran's brows were slightly locked, the crown ceremony Taifu was obviously also present that day, why is he sighing now?

"I heard that you have changed recently?" Guan Luo ignored Jin Ran's questioning and asked rhetorically.

"Is there one?" Jin Ran deliberately replied casually to hide his surprise and embarrassment. Why did even Taifu say that?

"The last time I saw the Empress, I also learned that you have been accompanied by a man recently, and that man is Yunxiu's third prince, right?" Guan Luo looked at him with a smile, saw Jin Ran's head lightly, and said, "It seems that he should be the one who changed you." ”

As soon as these words came out, as expected, Jin Ran immediately opened his mouth nervously to defend himself. "He --- he just helped me train the army, we have nothing to do with each other, it's none of his business---"

"Kid, I'm not blaming you, you've changed well lately, don't be nervous." Guan Luo whispered softly, and patted Jin Ran's shoulder with his hand.

Hearing Guan Luo say this, Jin Ran's hanging heart settled down, and he looked at Guan Luo quietly, knowing that he still had something to say.

"Child, as smart as you, you should also know that once you are over twenty years old, it will be closer to the time when your prince will ascend the throne, Concubine Xiu's mother and son and Li Yuanqiao They also know this, I believe they are already waiting for the opportunity to move, you have to be careful, I can only observe Li Yuanqiao's intentions in the court, but in other aspects, you have to pay more attention to yourself." Guan Luo said gloomily.

The emperor has recently violated the dragon body, and he is afraid that he will incite Jin Shu's eyes even more.

"I see." Jin Ran nodded, since that day when Jin Shu brought a large number of martial artists to the Qinghun Palace to ask for the guilt, he clearly felt Jin Shu's intention to seize power.

"I've been clearing the distance for a while."

When he heard the queen mention that this man appeared next to the prince, Guan Luo was worried that Jin Ran would be deceived by people's appearance, so he secretly went to the coaching ground alone to see the man. However, after several days of covert observation, the original doubts were replaced by peace of mind.

Although the man's appearance is light, he can see that he has read countless people, except for the treasure-like skin, what is hidden under it is definitely the material of a king who looks down on the world! The men's performance on the coaching field confirmed his opinion.

"Taifu? You ---" Jin Ran exclaimed in a low voice, Taifu had spied on Qingyuan? The reflexive appearance of Qingyuan who usually gags in his mind wrinkled his eyebrows. It's over, Taifu's perception of Qingyuan must be very bad! Thinking of this, he hurriedly spoke: "Actually, ---"

But was interrupted by Guan Luo raising his hand: "Don't say more, he is a person who can be completely trusted, you have found a good helper." Guan Luo smiled.

Hearing Taifu's words, Jin Ran's tense spirit suddenly relaxed.

"Where did you observe?" Jin Ran asked, Qingyuan spent most of his time with him, could it be that he was also observed by the way? When I thought of the strange feeling in my heart recently, I was afraid that my twisting behavior would also be detected, and I couldn't help but blush.

"Coaching ground." Guan Luo smiled proudly.

"Coaching ground?" Jin Ran shouted in surprise, "Why didn't I know? ”

Faced with his question, Guan Luo smiled silently. He doesn't know, but someone else knows! In fact, Qingyuan had already discovered his existence, and the eagle-like eyes looked at him, making him think that he had been exposed on the spot at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Qingyuan just looked at him fixedly, and then smiled, ignored him, and continued to train.

Qingyuan's smile was full of clarity and understanding, and at such a glance, he could see why he, an old man hiding in the grass, came. His smile was also a little proud, as if he was not afraid to judge him in the slightest for his claims.

What a great man! Guan Luo smiled with satisfaction.
