When the palace servants retired, he looked at Shi Nian with a sullen face, not knowing what to do with her. A girl who had not left the cabinet actually asked him to give her a marriage.
Although he is still young, he is not ashamed to know that a woman is like this.
Unable to hold back, he asked her, "Since you have asked me for an order, is Mr. Xiao compatible with you? Have you already said that he wants to marry you?"
If they are in love, why let her be a girl's house to ask for an order, and don't worry about damage to her reputation
Shi Nianshuang was startled by his question, and twisted her hands together, but it was only for a moment, she thought of Xiao Chen's gentle appearance to her in the past, she couldn't help blushing, and said confidently: "Yes, Xiao Chen It is with me, in love."
Listening to her and her confident words, Luo Ran couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
Shi Nianshuang's face froze slightly, and he was too stiff to turn his head to look at her.
Luo Ran and Shi Xujin were talking, but her mind was not here. Yu Guangruo looked at the door vaguely, and she also wanted to know what Xiao Chen planned to do.
The palace servant came in to spread the word, saying that Xiao Chen had arrived, and the conversation between the two stopped, and Luo Ran turned his attention to him.
Watching him come in across the door, but paused when he raised his eyes, he was a little surprised and flustered, obviously not expecting her to be there.
She knew that he was plotting against Shi Nianshuang, how could someone who held a grudge like him let Shi Nianshuang go.
Luo Ran smiled lightly, glanced at Shi Nianshuang one more time, then looked at him again, stretched out her hand to support the jade hairpin on her bun, and saw Xiao Chen's face turning pale with her own eyes, then she lifted the corner of her mouth slightly and retracted her gaze .
Xiao Chen's footsteps were stiff. He thought that because of Shi Nianshuang's fear of her, he would never reveal their relationship in front of her.
Looking at her movements, his fingertips could not help but tremble slightly.
Shi Xujin didn't see the eye contact between the two, and seeing that Luo Ran had no intention of speaking, she said to herself: "Xiao Aiqing, I passed you into the palace today, do you know the reason?"
Shi Nianshuang stood aside and looked at him eagerly.
However, Xiao Chen was at a loss as he cupped his hands at Shi Xujin and said, "If you go back to the emperor, Wei Chen doesn't know."
Shi Xujin frowned and glanced at Shi Nianshuang dissatisfied.
Shi Nianshuang was very aggrieved by what he saw, and looked at Xiao Chen with some puzzlement in his heart. Didn't he understand her thoughts the most? Seeing her standing here today, not to mention that she just said that to him today, what else can I do other than give marriage
Why doesn't he understand
For some reason, she suddenly remembered Luo Ran's light laughter before, and felt a little flustered in her heart, and called him a little uneasy: "Xiao Chen!"
Xiao Chen turned to look at her, the puzzlement in his eyes was very clear: "Princess?"
The panic in Shi Nianshuang's heart was getting deeper and deeper, and she always felt that something was not as she imagined.
Even Luo Ran raised her head and looked at the scene led by Xiao Chen, especially Shi Nianshuang who was clearly disturbed but still comforting herself. She couldn't help but want to laugh. smile.
Shi Xujin was a little dissatisfied with Shi Nianshuang in her heart. Didn't she just say that Xiao Chen and her are in love? You know, he shouldn't trust her.
"Xiao Aiqing, the eldest princess asked me for an imperial decree to marry the eldest princess to you, what do you think?"
Xiao Chen's expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing at all, he lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground, and refused outright: "Your Majesty! Wei Chen is unwilling!"
"Xiao Chen!" Shi Nianshuang didn't expect him to answer like this at all, and exclaimed in disbelief. He said he wasn't worthy of her, so she asked the emperor to marry her, but now, he said he didn't want to
"Xiao Chen, what did you say? Did you say something wrong?"
With tears in his eyes, Shi Nian took two steps forward, knelt beside him, and wanted to pull Xiao Chen's sleeve, wondering if he was confused? Otherwise why would you refuse
Xiao Chen avoided her pull, pursed his lips, looked at him helplessly, and looked up at the emperor again, with some help in his eyes, as if there was nothing he could do with Shi Nianshuang.
He didn't dare to look at Luo Ran's expression, he knew that Luo Ran was looking at him with interest, she was always smart, and she definitely knew that this scene was guided by herself, but he still didn't dare to look at her .
Shi Xujin's face was flushed with anger. Because of Shi Nianshuang's actions, he was rushing like this. How do others think of the royal family? She simply lost the royal face!
He scolded the palace servants at the side: "Don't pull the eldest princess away!"
Shi Xujin looked at Xiao Chen and felt a little dissatisfied in her heart. No matter how bad his royal sister was, she was still a member of the royal family. When would it be the turn of others to dislike her
"The eldest princess said before that, what is the matter with you?"
When Xiao Chen heard his words, he frowned immediately, and he couldn't help but look up and saw that she was also looking at him, Xiao Chen paused and turned to Shi Xujin:
"Your Majesty, there has never been an overdue relationship between Wei Chen and the princess, and there is no personal relationship between men and women, and it is even more arrogant to say that they are in love!"
Shi Nianshuang didn't expect him to be like this, not admitting anything, so why did she come to ask for an decree today? She gave up all her dignity and restraint in exchange for his answer!
She bit her lip and looked at Xiao Chen with tears in her eyes. Seeing the cold look on his face, she collapsed suddenly, raised her hand and slapped him fiercely, with a "snack-" sound that was extremely crisp.
The people in the palace couldn't help but be a little surprised by her move. This Master Xiao, who is now an official of the imperial court, how can people be slapped like this
Shi Xujin stood up in shock, looked at the situation in front of him, and unconsciously leaned towards Luo Ran, Luo Ran also stood up and put one hand on his shoulder.
She looked at the red silk at the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth, her eyes couldn't help flashing surprise, and she didn't know how much thought he had put into this period of time to force Shi Nianshuang to such a degree.
Due to her strength, Xiao Chen turned his head slightly, with gloomy eyes in his narrowed eyes. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, wiping away the tinge of red, and turned to look at Shi Nianshuang. He tried to move the corner of his mouth, but was unsuccessful.
The tears on her face hadn't dried yet. Looking at Xiao Chen, there was hatred and affection in her eyes. She paused at every word and seemed to grit her teeth: "Xiao Chen, do you think there is nothing between us?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his hand, suppressed the emotions in his heart, took two steps back, and out of the corner of his eye glanced at her standing on the steps, but she just looked at the scene in front of her calmly, as if There were irrelevant people in front of him, and he tightened his hands to bring himself back to his senses.
"The eldest princess is joking, what does Wei Chen have to do with you?"
Shi Nianshuang's expression was a little broken. She gave up her reputation, but it was because of his gentleness in the past. Now he wants to send her away without a word of rudeness. How can she rely on him
She reached out and pulled out the jade hairpin on her bun, she held it up, held it in front of him, and couldn't help choking: "You said we don't have anything, then do you know this jade hairpin? "
He frowned and looked indifferent: "I don't know."
"Don't know? You gave it to me today! How dare you say you don't know? How dare you not admit it?"
She couldn't accept his words, crying and screaming at him, how could he deny everything
She couldn't help but beat him up, but he pushed him away.
He frowned and said coldly, "Princess be careful!"
He refused to admit it, and Yu Guang couldn't help looking in a certain direction, wondering if there were other thoughts hidden in his heart, for example, not wanting to let someone misunderstand.
Shi Nianshuang was reprimanded by him, and finally came back to his senses, staggered back two steps, fell on the palace servant who was supporting her, stared at him blankly, and then suddenly covered her face and cried loudly, what else does she have now? not understand
What does she deserve better? But it's all an excuse he said because he didn't want to marry her!
If he had her in his heart, why would he not want to marry her
He doesn't have her in his heart!
If so, why did he treat her like that! Everything depends on her, doing those actions that make people blush.
He has been lying to her!
"Xiao Chen! You bastard! You lied to me!"
Her eyes were red, and she couldn't accept the truth. She was a royal princess, and he was just an unloved son. If it wasn't for his step-by-step calculations, how could she have fallen so quickly.
She saw the cold look in his eyes, and the sarcastic smile.
She suddenly remembered why she fell in love with him.
Because he saved her.
But... why did she fall into the water? Someone wanted her to fall into the water, but he was the only one at the time!
Why didn't she think of it, he was the only one at that time!
He has calculated everything, waiting for his condom, he is revenge on her!
He is so cruel, she hates it so much!
She cried in despair, Shi Xujin pouted, not knowing how to deal with this situation, she looked at Luo Ran for help, Luo Ran glanced at him, and her jade hand patted him lightly, indicating that he should not worry.
She glanced at Shi Nianshuang with no emotion in her eyes, then squinted at Xiao Chen, and said casually, "Master Xiao, whether you have an affair with the eldest princess or not, my royal princess, please marry you by order, you still have What are you dissatisfied with?"
Xiao Chen pinched his fingers, not knowing how to answer. If it was a little emperor, he would be able to handle it with ease, but facing her, he was always inexplicably nervous. He looked at the cold look in her eyes, and suddenly said in a daze:
"Because Wei Chen already has a sweetheart!"
Xiao Chen clearly saw the slight movement in her eyes. He pursed his lips and squeezed the fingers in his sleeves tighter and tighter. He was thinking, if she asks, who is his sweetheart? How should he answer.
But she didn't want her to seem to understand, so she gave him a light glance, like a smile, which made his heart tremble slightly, and then she turned her head and stopped looking at him, as if she was not interested in his words.
She smiled at the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, since Mr. Xiao has a sweetheart, why should we beat the mandarin ducks? What's more, the princess of our royal family doesn't need to be so wronged and marry a man with someone else in his heart. ."
He lowered his head and let go of his hand from his sleeve, he didn't understand what she meant.
In fact, it would be fine for her to say two more words to him, even if it was innocuous.
Shi Xujin thought for a while, felt that Luo Ran was right, and nodded.
Xiao Chen had a wound on the corner of his mouth, and there was some pain while speaking. He frowned, pressed it with the pulp of his finger, and put down his hand as if nothing had happened.
Shi Nianshuang was listening to what he said, and suddenly seemed to be awake, stood up, wiped her tears with one hand, and stared at Xiao Chen:
"You said you have a sweetheart?"
Seeing her expression, Xiao Chen couldn't help frowning, and glanced towards the steps.
Shi Nianshuang looked at his eyes, followed him, but saw Luo Ran, the tears in her eyes seemed to be a meal, how could it be her? Shouldn't he hate her
Seeing her looking over, Luo Ran put one hand on Shi Xujin, moved intimately, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled at her.
Now, her reputation has also been lost, the person she loves has another sweetheart, and her own younger brother is even more disappointed in herself, tsk, what should she do when she is so embarrassed
Luo Ran thought about the end of 'Luo Ran' in the original text, and couldn't help but deepen the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Shi Nianshuang's eyes were reddened by her smile. She seemed to have lost her mind. She suddenly pointed at Luo Ran and shouted, "Is your sweetheart her!"
Xiao Chen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he looked at her coldly, but because of his eyes, she confirmed this idea, and immediately laughed out loud:
"Haha—you actually fell in love with her! Haha! You actually fell in love with her!"
"Haha—ah! Xiao Chen, are you crazy!"
After laughing wildly, she burst into tears and fell limply to the ground, seemingly unable to accept the blow.
"Shut up! Sister Huang, I think you are crazy!"
Shi Xujin's immature face was ashen. She didn't expect her to say such outrageous remarks. If these words spread out, how would others think of their mother
He looked at Shi Nianshuang with frosty eyes.
In front of this scene, whether it was Shi Nianshuang's desperate screams or Shi Xujin's rage, Xiao Chen seemed to be unable to see it, his expression was stunned, and he didn't know what to think.
Luo Ran let go of the hand on Shi Xujin's shoulder, and put it on Xiao Fuzi's arm, looking at Shi Nianshuang who was crying bitterly below, and said indifferently: "I'm afraid the eldest princess is in a nightmare. Take her down and find an imperial physician to show her."
Shi Xujin felt her movement, looked back at her, and heard her words "The eldest princess is afraid of nightmares", her eyes flickered slightly, but she did not raise any objection, pursed her lips, as if acquiescing.
All Shi Nianshuang's cries stopped for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and looked up at her in disbelief. She didn't expect her to be so cruel, shouldn't she be ashamed! How could she say so calmly that she was in a nightmare? Call it all her gibberish
She looked at Luo Ran as if she was watching a farce, her hands were clenched, but she lost all her courage and did not dare to contradict her. She looked at Shi Xujin with the last glimmer of hope, but when she saw his tacit expression, she suddenly felt heartbroken. dead ashes.
He clearly knew how much impact this sentence would have on her!
Because she gave up completely, when the palace servant took her down, she did not respond.
Shi Xujin pursed her lips, looked at her, and finally pulled Luo Ran's sleeve, trembling her eyelashes uncontrollably.
This matter seems to be over here, but Xiao Chen is getting more and more difficult in the officialdom.
Shi Nianshuang is the little emperor's sister after all. Even if he is dissatisfied with her, he will not tolerate others bullying her. He doesn't want to go against Luo Ran's wishes, but that doesn't mean he will let Xiao Chen go.
Luo Ran stared at his actions coldly, and did not help Xiao Chen one point, which also gave Shi Xujin a little more confidence. He was shaken by Shi Nianshuang's words that day.
He suddenly remembered, as a foreigner, why did Xiao Chen stay in the palace for so long
Why did he take over the position of Prince An as soon as he left the palace? Why did Prince An get injured so coincidentally
What did the queen mother mean when she said "serving"
He didn't dare to go deeper, but he could only suppress the unease and absurdity in his heart. He targeted Xiao Chen not only because of Shi Nianshuang, but also because he was afraid. He was afraid that what Shi Nianshuang said that day was true.
If so, how does he face his mother
Shi Xujin's movements were getting bigger and bigger, and all the people in the court saw it. They also heard about what happened in the palace that day, but they didn't help or suppress Xiao Chen.
Although they all knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with him, they even knew that this Xiao Chen belonged to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager was the real person in power.
Fengquan Palace Study Room
Xiao Fuzi pushed open the door and walked in. Luo Ran was standing in front of the desk, as if practicing calligraphy. She brushed her sleeves with one hand, and her face was full of indifference, which was both contradictory and harmonious. When Xiao Fuzi approached, she also no response.
"Niangniang, Xiao Chen can't hold it anymore."
Even if no one else in the officialdom embarrassed him, Xiao Chen's foundation was too weak.
After Luo Ran finished writing the word, she stopped writing. She looked sideways, her eyes turned lightly, and she opened her lips: "Oh? So fast? It's more unbearable than Ben Gong imagined..."
Xiao Fuzi lowered his head and didn't answer. There was a general who made a move. How could a Xiao Chen with no background or foundation be an opponent
Her plain hand stroked the corner of her eye, then looked out the window, and suddenly said, "If it's cold today, it's going to snow soon."
Xiao Fuzi didn't know what she meant, but he followed her words and looked out. Now that it's December, it is possible to snow: "The lady said that it should be soon."
She looked at Merlin over there. When Xiao Chen was there, they used to rub their ears and temples there, and now there are flowers blooming there.
She seemed to have seen some scene, and couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of her mouth, with a smile on her brows and eyes, as if she was looking forward to it.
When Xiao Fuzi heard the movement, she raised her head and glanced, but she looked into her eyes. It seemed that malice was pervading, and she was like a poppy. She knew that the danger was unapproachable, but she had a fatal temptation, making people willing to step into the abyss.
Luo Ran opened up a fold, it was Xiao Chen, and his errands were done very beautifully.
She snorted: "Look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty that Bengong is holding Fengyin. It's not as good as a person who has just entered the officialdom. It's really disappointing to Bengong."
Xiao Fuzi also raised his head and said softly, "My lords, I also feel that Xiao Chen is the mother of the goddess, so I gave him the convenience."
He heard her smiling voice: "If that's the case, then hand over this piece of paper to brother."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left before Xiao Fuzi responded.
Through the window, Xiao Fuzi saw her walking into the plum forest step by step, standing under the plum tree, folded a plum blossom at random, then looked into the distance, and crushed the plum blossom little by little, and sprinkled it with the wind.
Xiao Fuzi's eyelashes trembled, he didn't dare to look anymore, he walked up to the desk, went to get the piece of paper, and saw the word "press" written on it, obviously the whole word was very gentle, but Xiao Fuzi felt that There is only a hidden edge left at the edge of the pen.

An Wangfu
An Wang was sitting in the study, his expression was not very good, there was a glamorous woman sitting next to him, Xiao Chen stood by with his head lowered, the two of them didn't know what to say, Xiao Chen's hands were clenched.
"Tell me about you! The eldest princess wants to marry you, so why would you refuse! Now that it's all over, this official position will also be lost, what's the use of you?"
An Wang was furious, but the woman next to him was still adding fuel to the fire, and she said softly: "Yes, when I brought you into the capital, I wanted you to serve the queen mother well, but who knew that you coaxed the queen mother to give her an official position, and so on. That's all, but the Queen Mother drove out of the palace and angered the emperor again."
"Xiao Chen, it's not your mother who told you, although you are not the child of your mother, but you have to think about your father and king. Now all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty listen to the queen mother, as long as you please the queen mother, it's not what you want. What? You picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon."
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and listened to the chatter of the two of them. His heart was too irritable. He thought about everything that happened after he left the palace. At this time, he realized that she had only given him the money when he was in Fengquan Palace. a choice.
Is it to stay obediently, or go back after being injured
He didn't understand it at the time, he just thought he got what he wanted, but he forgot that she was never a soft-hearted person, how could the person she liked allow him to leave
But for half a month, it snowed heavily in the capital, and the whole world seemed to be a vast expanse of white.
Xiao Chen's errands were not done well. He was obviously the same as before, but everything was a mess.
He took off the official uniform, but changed into a long Tsing Yi gown, holding a jug in one hand, stumbled, and fell in a corner. Now, how could he not know what she meant.
She didn't make a sound, just opened her lips lightly, leaving him with nowhere to go and nowhere to go.
She stood tall and watched him struggling like a trapped beast, but didn't say a word or the reason.
But he still doesn't understand why she put so much thought into him
But she was angry.
He should have thought of it long ago.
He got up and walked towards the palace step by step.
He was not hindered by anything, and the road to the palace was easier than he imagined.
After walking for a long time, he stopped. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the palace in front of him. Everything was as it used to be. No one in the palace showed any surprise when they saw him, as if they had expected him to come back.
But it was this look that irritated Xiao Chen even more and made him pale. No one thought he could escape from her, only he was complacent and self-righteous.
He stepped into Fengquan Palace, and a palace servant bowed to him and treated him as "Mr. Xiao".
The sky suddenly snowed again, as if foretelling something, but no one had the ability to predict.
There was no palace servant to take care of him, and it seemed that he was allowed to enter the inner hall, but he lost all courage and could not lift his footsteps. He moved his direction and walked to the window beside him.
A plum blossom was pressed down, leaning against the window, adding a touch of color, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and took it away, raised his eyes to look inside, but was stunned for the next moment.
He looked at the picture inside, and it seemed that the whole world lost its voice at this moment.
The slightly feminine man was lying on the soft couch, she put one hand on the side of his head, caressed his forehead frivolously with the other, and put a tight kiss on his lips, the look in the man's eyes, he was the most It's clear, but once, he was like this, lying there and letting her do whatever she wanted, but today, it's a different object.
The man seemed a little unbearable, frowned and turned his head, his eyes met, one was sluggish, the other was surprised.
It's him.
Mr. Fu.
