Chunyu Rao sat behind the desk, and after being bowed down by Chun Yuyan, he picked up the sapphire cup and took a sip of tea, his expression unremarkable.
"My father called me here overnight. I wonder if there is any urgent matter?" Chunyu Yan stood on one side with his head slightly bowed.
Chun Yurao raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said calmly, "I heard that a woman has moved into your house."
"Yes." Chunyu Yan said, "It's Hua Jinglan who was engaged to my son before."
Seeing his confession, Chun Yurao nodded slightly and said, "Do you like this woman?"
"Is she the woman whom Loulan's prime minister asked to be anointed a few days ago?"
Without raising his head, Chun Yuyan also knew that Chun Yurao's sharp gaze was hitting him in the face. It would be fine if Hua Jinglan was just a person in the world, but if he was involved with the Loulan Kingdom, Chun Yurao would probably have to think too much. .
"The previous rumors in the market were not trustworthy. Although I broke off my engagement with her, I still miss her a lot in my heart." Chunyu Yan said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I like her!"
Chun Yurao narrowed his eyes with an incomprehensible attitude, "So, are you saying that you won't marry her if she doesn't?"
Chunyu Yan did not answer and responded with silence.
Chun Yurao walked out from behind Minghuang's desk, walked up to him, looked at his profile and said, "Among my children, you are the only one that gives me the most headache. Although Hua Jinglan has been granted a title, she has suffered from all kinds of notoriety in the past, and It’s a rough and tumble world, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to be worthy of the royal family.”
Hua Jinglan, who was lying on the beam and eavesdropping, really wanted to rush in and kick him until stars appeared in his eyes.
"Qiongyu Kingdom has sent envoys to Yecheng to discuss the marriage of the eldest princess Murong Wei. According to my wishes, you can marry Hua Jinglan, but the position of the principal concubine will not be hers anyway. Murong Wei I have also heard that this woman is of good character, honest and kind, and I feel at ease that she is worthy of being your concubine." Chun Yurao observed Chun Yuyan's expression without any trace, and finally said: "What do you think?"
Chunyu Yan straightened his expression and raised his head, "Father, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"
Only then did Chun Yurao smile. He walked to the desk with his hands behind his back and said, "Come and try the new tea that was brought in today."
After hearing the two people talking about insignificant things again, Hua Jinglan sat up and pulled Yuchi Yue to fly out of the imperial city.
"Lan'er, are you unhappy?" Yuchi Yue followed her and asked cautiously.
Hua Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, let's go back first."
Yuchiyue saw that her face was not good-looking, so he didn't speak any more during the whole journey. He only asked for two bunches of candied haws when passing by the busy market.
Hua Jinglan's mind has returned to the conversation just now. Chun Yurao actually wants to marry Princess Qiongyu to Chun Yuyan. Once Murong Wei marries Chun Yuyan, it means that Chun Yuyan will ascend the throne again. Taking a step closer, did Chun Yurao intend to pass the throne to Chun Yuyan, or was this just a test
Then, how would Chunyu Yan respond
Choosing one of the two, he has a half chance. In order to win over the court officials, he has recruited many women, and this time, will Murong Wei be among them
She was lowering her head in thought, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that Yu Chi Yue had stopped walking. She turned around and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Yuchi Yue pointed sideways to the door on the left and said, "We've arrived."
Hua Jinglan looked up, and sure enough, the words "Xueyue Villa" came into her eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle, and she actually got distracted because of this matter.
After patting her head, she turned back, patted the door and said, "Bright Moon! Izumo! I'm back!"
*
After a sleepless night, Hua Jinglan looked at everyone with dark circles under her eyes, looking like Duke Zhou. She was still drowsy with her eyelids drooped until breakfast on the bright moon.
"What's going on?" Jiao Yue asked Su Huan carefully.
Su Huan didn't know that it was Gui Gui who ran into the palace before she and Mei Er rushed back. She thought something had happened to Yu Chi Yue, but when she came back, she saw the two of them lying on the bed. At first, she was startled. Hua Jinglan opened her eyes and looked at the tent above, while Yuchi Yue was sleeping soundly. Hua Jinglan put her foot on his stomach and distanced herself from him, but Yuchi Yue's hands But he hugged her neck tightly and almost strangled her in half.
Faced with such a weird scene, Su Huan didn't know what to say for a moment and could only withdraw. So she was confused when it turned out like this in the morning.
"Lan'er, eat this!"
"this!"
"and this!"
Yu Chiyue was the most excited person at the table. He sat on the left side of Hua Jinglan and kept holding dishes for her. There was a hill in the bowl and he refused to give up. Hua Jinglan was wandering in her thoughts. She wasn't there and didn't see him amusing himself at all, but Wen Zhuoyi couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him: "We'll talk about it after the young master has eaten first."
Yuchi Yue turned around and saw that Hua Jinglan didn't move her chopsticks. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She leaned over and asked, "Does Lan'er like these dishes?"
Hua Jinglan looked forward, not knowing what she was thinking, but she clearly didn't hear what he said. Yuchi Yue's eyes were red with grievance, and Gaoyue quickly gave her a gentle push, "Master?"
Hua Jinglan finally came back to her senses, looked around the people on the table with tired eyes, and said inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
Wen Ruyu took a sip of porridge and said, "Look at your bowl."
Hua Jinglan lowered her head, then raised her head to look at Yuchi Yue. Seeing that he was about to cry, she quickly picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, saying, "The food Yue'er picks is delicious!"
Only then did Yuchiyue laugh and hurriedly pinched her again.
Hua Jinglan let him go, looked up at Wen Ruyu, and threw a porcelain bottle over, "This is the antidote. I need you to do something for me."
Wen Ruyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yuchi Yue, who was having fun, and said, "I don't do anything for free."
Hua Jinglan chewed the tender peas and said, "I owe you a favor."
Wen Ruyu was a little startled. Before, she refused to let go no matter what, but now that she agreed like this, he was caught off guard.
Hua Jinglan looked at his stupidity, curled her lips and said, "Not enough?"
"That's enough, of course it's enough," Wen Ruyu put away the porcelain bottle, her eyes gleaming, "Hua Jinglan, just be prepared to give me a big one back!"
