The night was so intense that it seemed impossible to dissolve, and the house gradually stopped. The palace people walked in with their heads lowered in an orderly manner. There was a hot spring in Fengquan Palace. Xiao Chen put on his underwear, covered Luo Ran's body with his outer jacket, and hugged her. into the bathroom.
Luo Ran closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the hot spring. Xiao Chen was beside her. The palace servant came forward, knelt behind Luo Ran, and gently squeezed her shoulders, helping her to get rid of the tiredness of her body. Xiao Chen lowered his head, and when someone was there, he was always taciturn.
He was a little lost in his heart, because Luo Ran didn't answer his question, and he was a little flustered. I don't know if it was because of Qi Feng's identity and appearance, or because of Luo Ran's attitude.
Luo Ran seemed to sense his emotions, half-opened his eyes, and waved at the palace servants behind him. The palace servants quietly retreated, Xiao Chen heard the movement, raised his head, and saw that she was looking at him.
She gave her a look, Xiao Chen moved, entered the hot spring, let her lean in his arms, and gently pressed her back with one hand, then she heard a slightly seductive voice, circling around the person. Heartstrings:
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Chen pursed his lips. At this time, he couldn't say what he just said, but it was too uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "Why did the goddess let the third prince enter the palace?"
Luo Ran's eyes were bright, she glanced at him sideways, with a little smile: "Sour?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his brows, but did not speak, but seemed to acquiesce.
Luo Ran closed her eyes and said shallowly, "Just look at him and put him in the palace to be pleasing to the eye."
But this answer was obviously not what Xiao Chen wanted, and even something he didn't want to hear. His thin lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes were looking at the beautiful woman in front of him. :
"Do you still remember the matter of answering Xiao Chen?"
Luo Ran naturally remembered that she turned around and faced Xiao Chen, her jade hand gently stroked Xiao Chen's face, Xiao Chen's expression moved slightly, but his body did not dare to move, Luo Ran lowered his eyes slightly, and his red lips seemed to stick to On his face, when he lightly opened his red lips, it seemed to slide over his cheek, which only made him feel numb and numb, and the apex of his heart trembled slightly.
He just heard her words, with a little carelessness: "Bengong remembers."
Before Xiao Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw her beautiful eyes glance at him, and there was a smile in her voice, but it was cold: "But you have to be good."
Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the Jinning Palace, the eldest princess. His face was pale, and he felt a little bit of grievance in his heart. Xiao Chen looked at the blushing at the corners of her eyes and barely lifted the corners of his mouth. ,ask her:
"My lady doesn't believe me?"
Luo Ran's eyes seemed to flash with distress. She glanced at him: "Okay, the prince of Xiliang, this palace has his own plans for letting him enter the palace, so don't make such a fuss next time."
Only now did Xiao Chen realize that she had been teasing him and made him worry for so long. He felt a little resentment in his heart. When he looked at her, he couldn't help but bring some out. Luo Ran not only didn't feel guilty, but chuckled softly. Seems like something funny happened.
Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth without a trace, and saw the soft color in her eyes, but when she turned her back on him, her eyes couldn't help but darken.
Although Niangniang said so, he was still worried.
So... Xiao Chen thought of a person, her eyes returned to normal, with a little coldness, she let herself be suspected by the mother, and she should pay something, so, it was also cheaper for her.
If there is someone in the bathroom at this time, you can find Luo Ran in front of Xiao Chen, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is very soft but makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

Royal Garden
Qi Feng followed behind Luo Ran, and a group of people followed behind her. Now the weather seems to be rejuvenating, and the garden is full of spring, but she is the most dazzling among the group of people. Qi Feng's eyes can't help but pause on her, and she puts it on her hand. On the arm of the little eunuch next to him, he looked at the little eunuch and frowned slightly, just like the pampered little son, showing a femininity.
Luo Ran twisted a flower and asked him casually, "Can the third prince adapt during this time in the palace?"
Just like an ordinary friend chatting, Qi Feng followed the flower and gradually moved his eyes to her fingertips. The fingers were white, and the skin seemed to be broken by blowing bullets. People couldn't help worrying about whether the flower branch would scratch her hand, and her eyes flashed. After flashing, he replied as if it were the case:
"It's okay to worry about the empress dowager, Qi Feng thinks it's fine."
Luo Ran looked at the delicate flower in his hand and smashed it a little bit, Qi Feng looked at her movement, squinted his eyes, and heard her smiling voice: "The third prince must also be curious, why is this palace? Let you enter the palace?"
Seeing her smiling face, Qi Feng twisted his fingers. No wonder, all the men who entered her palace were dreaming.
"Qi Feng is really puzzled, and I hope Niangniang can help Qi Feng."
Luo Ran approached him unexpectedly, Qi Feng's eyes suddenly became cold, but he didn't move a bit. Luo Ran didn't seem to notice his coldness at that moment, and softly spit out a few words in his ear, Qi The chill in Feng's eyes gradually disappeared, and finally all turned into a touch of exploration.
Luo Ran stood up straight and looked at him as usual, with clear eyes: "What do you think of the third prince?"
"But according to the mother's orders." Qi Feng stood beside her, thinking about what she just said, and he was rarely curious about one person in his heart.
The two walked to the pavilion and sat down. There were several trays of fruits and cakes on the stone table. Xiao Fuzi stood beside her and saw that her gaze paused on the tray of longan. Her distinct fingers broke open a longan and peeled it out. The round and full flesh was brought to Luo Ran's mouth. She slightly opened her red lips, stretched out her pink tongue, and contained the flesh.
Qi Feng sat on the side and looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly, and silently watched her spit out the seed nucleus, and the palace servant beside her caught it with a handkerchief. The eunuch stopped and reminded in a low voice:
"Niangniang, why don't you eat some fragrant pears?"
Although he didn't say it clearly, it meant that he would get angry if he ate too much longan. Luo Ran waved his hand and motioned him to step back. When he raised his eyes, Luo Ran's eyes froze. Qi Feng also saw it and followed her. Looking at him, he saw that the man who was staring at him at the banquet that day was standing in the distance. Seeing them looking over, he didn't say anything, only looked at Luo Ran coldly, and turned around to leave.
Qi Feng had a guess about his identity, and when he looked at Luo Ran again, he saw that the smile on her face had faded, and she seemed to be tired. She stood up with Xiao Fuzi's hand and faced Qi Feng. said:
"There are still some trivial matters in the palace. If the third prince has nothing to do, he will stay in this imperial garden for a while."
Her last sentence was somewhat meaningful, with a smile in her eyes, she looked at Qi Feng, and then took the honor guard and left.
Qi Feng stood up and sent her away respectfully, but behind her, the expression in her eyes changed involuntarily. The queen mother seemed to be a little special to the man just now.
After Luo Ran left, Qi Feng did not leave in a hurry, but listened to Luo Ran's words and sat in the imperial garden for a while, that is, at this moment, he knew what she was fighting for.
Qi Feng looked at the woman in front of her. She had delicate eyebrows, and she was used to being pampered. She was wearing a bright yellow dress. At this moment, her eyes were full of tears, like pear blossoms with rain, any man was here, Afraid is also pity.
It's just that Qi Feng has been praised for his appearance since he was a child. Although this is not a good name for a man, it cannot be denied that he is tired of looking at his own face, not to mention that Shi Nianshuang is not as good as him.
Thoughts flashed in Qi Feng's eyes, not because of Shi Nianshuang in front of him, but because of Luo Ran's words, was it because of this person that she let him stay in the palace
Shi Nianshuang did not expect that she would meet the third prince of Xiliang Kingdom when she came to the Imperial Garden, but she couldn't care so much at this time and was extremely disappointed. Tears welled up in her eyes. She received a letter from Xiao Chen asking her to When she saw him in the Royal Garden, although she took revenge on him and hated him, she couldn't replace her love for him.
But... But... She is not a fool. Now that she met Qi Feng, how could she not understand Xiao Chen's meaning.
He was sure that he would come, Shi Nian bit his lips, and two lines of clear tears fell. After Xiao Chen left that day, she regretted it. After hearing that Xiao Chen's legs were broken, she was even more so. regret but too late.
But no matter how much she regrets it, now that she understands Xiao Chen's thoughts, her heart is ashes. She only feels pain in her heart, and she doesn't care that Qi Feng is still there, so she squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, ignoring all her etiquette and face.
She cried pitifully, and was still immersed in her own emotions, when she suddenly heard a slightly hesitant voice:
"Princess?"
Although his voice was indifferent, his deliberately slowed voice was like a spring breeze. Shi Nianshuang raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with tears in his eyes. Can't see other people.
But at this time, Shi Nianshuang forced a smile, stood up with the hand of the palace servant, wiped his tears with a handkerchief in one hand, and said to Qi Feng:
"Let the third prince laugh."
That forced smile was really pitiful, Qi Feng frowned slightly and looked at her puzzled: "What's wrong with the eldest princess?"
Shi Nianshuang rushed to the imperial garden in a hurry, but as soon as he saw him, he covered his face and cried bitterly. Anyone who fell into his eyes would feel puzzled. Qi Feng's question was reasonable.
Shi Nianshuang looked at the person in front of her who seemed to be worried, and laughed at herself. She knew what Xiao Chen meant, but she just wanted to use her. Although she was not as good as Luo Ran, she was also blessed by God. He didn't think that Xiao Chen would fall in love with her.
She just suddenly felt a little funny, everything he did was to be jealous, and she knew what he was going to do, but she was willing to be used.
She actually wanted to help him approach another woman.
Her heart was full of emotions, but she was biting her lips and her cheeks were a little pink. It seemed that she was shy because of the gaffe just now. The gesture made is even more eye-catching than this full garden spring.
Qi Feng's eyes flickered. When he was in Xiliang, he knew how many self-proclaimed noble ladies secretly greeted him. He knew best what Shi Nianshuang's gesture meant.
He didn't feel anything, just thought of what the Queen Mother said just now. Now that the eldest princess is like this, what else does he need to do
Qi Feng tried his best to maintain the appearance of a gentle son, comforted her at first, and then turned around and left with confidence until he saw her burst into laughter.
As soon as he turned around, Shi Nianshuang changed his expression and looked in the direction of Fengquan Palace. Now that he lives in the side hall of Fengquan Palace, she can't even see him.
Luo Ran returned to Fengquan Palace, but saw Xiao Chen waiting for her in the inner hall, raised his eyebrows in surprise, sat on the soft couch, and said with a smile: "I thought you would be angry and go back to the side hall."
Xiao Chen approached her, sat behind her, surrounded her, and said indifferently, "Why are you making a tantrum? Make room for others?"
Looking at his realization, Luo Ran was obviously a little surprised. He turned around and fell down with a hook on his neck, with some ridicule: "Why, I'm not jealous today?"
Although Xiao Chen is a male pet, Luo Ran doesn't regard him as lowly. He holds her soft and boneless waist in one hand and lets her do things on his lips. Luo Ran is a bit wicked and loves Xiao Chen. The appearance of movement, the usual cold eyes spread a layer of water mist.
Xiao Chen frowned, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, one hand was clenched into a fist, but he didn't move. There were still people in the palace, his eyes were red, but he still couldn't bear to let her stop. In the end, Luo Ran was very kind. He pecked lightly on the lips, releasing him.
Xiao Fuzi stood aside with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye. Seeing this scene, it would be a lie to say that he was not sad, but this was not the first time he had seen this scene. For seven years, he had even become accustomed to it.
Only Xiao Chen, who came after the death of the late emperor, would make an extravagant request that he was the only one by his side.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Fuzi, saw his face as usual, frowned almost imperceptibly, and looked back as if nothing had happened, and answered Luo Ran's question just now: "Vinegar, Niangniang will not see him?"
Although he spoke plainly, he also secretly harbored a temptation in his heart.
Luo Ran didn't seem to hear his temptation, she still smiled and spat out a gentle knife: "See." It made life painful.
Xiao Chen moved for a while, and an uncontrollable gloom flashed in his eyes. He pulled the corner of his mouth and stopped talking. He remembered what he had done today. After all, he slowed down and gently twisted Luo Ran's blue silk.
Luo Ran accompanied Xiao Chen for lunch, and then let him leave. Xiao Fuzi stepped forward and told Luo Ran all the actions Xiao Chen had done today.
After Luo Ran listened, there was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes. She didn't expect Shi Nianshuang to do this for Xiao Chen. She took the tea handed by Xiao Fuzi, sipped it lightly, and made everyone back down. .
There was no one in the hall, and Qi'er gradually emerged. He glanced at her strangely, but said indifferently: "You are soft-hearted."
Luo Ran frowned and looked at the tea in front of her. The smoke was misty, and it seemed to be more immortal, making people unable to see her expression for a while.
After a long time, she smiled lightly and smiled naturally: "How is it possible."
Qi'er didn't dismantle her, but said coldly: "You can be soft-hearted or fail the mission, as long as you can bear the consequences."
Luo Ran's bright face lost its blood in an instant, and she remembered the pain that was engraved into the bone marrow, and she didn't move for a long time, and seemed to fall into memory again.
Qi'er looked at her appearance, her eyes flashed with unknown emotions, it seemed... distressed.
After a long time, Luo Ran's face returned to normal, and Qi'er breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew that it would be difficult to make Luo Ran soft-hearted, but he had to remind her.
Luo Ran understood Qi'er's mind, but just thinking of the pain made her shiver. Her eyes seemed to be filled with water mist, and she looked straight at Qi'er. When Qi'er's eyes moved, she appeared in the next moment. Beside him, let her lean on him, Luo Ran wrapped his arms around his waist, and the sleeves slipped down with this action, she said aggrievedly:
"Seven'er, I'm so hurt."
With just a simple sentence, Qi'er closed her eyes. He lived with her. If she succeeded in her mission, he would benefit. However, if the mission failed, he could not feel any pain from her.
He knew that she actually hated it in her heart. She hated why she could get a body in all her life. Only she suffered day and night, and only after completing the task could she grow a body little by little.
Once, Luo Ran thought she and Qi'er were the same, but after her first mission failed, the pain of tearing and reorganizing, she knew that it was different, only she was different, and only she had to endure the pain , Qi'er just needs to sit back and enjoy it.
Qi'er tried to get close to her as much as possible, trying to relieve her pain, but Luo Ran pushed him away. Her eyes had already recovered, and she suddenly realized that she had been in this world for too long, and she was cold. Mei asked Qi'er:
"How many scenes are there?"
Qi'er also resumed her official appearance: "90% of the scenes."
With 10% remaining, Luo Ran half-squinted his eyes thoughtfully, waved his hand to signal Qi'er to disappear, Qi'er frowned, but gradually disappeared.
There was a string of bells beside Luo Ran, she stretched out her hand and slid along the string of bells, making some noises instantly, she said coldly, "come here."
Xiao Fuzi walked in quickly. Seeing that Luo Ran seemed to be in a low mood, he frowned. I don't know who made the concubine angry. He stepped forward, knelt in front of her, and asked:
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Luo Ranyu stroked Xiao Fuzi's side face and made him raise his head, "On the side of the eldest princess, speed up."
Although Xiao Fuzi didn't know why Niangniang was so anxious all of a sudden, she nodded and said "yes", so she sent someone to deliver a message to Qi Feng.
What Luo Ran said in Qi Feng's ear was that he let Shi Nianshuang marry him willingly, and she helped him ascend to the throne.
As the ruler of the main country, Luo Ran naturally has no doubts about her ability. Although Qi Feng is the original male supporting role, her ability is also online, but if there is a foolproof opportunity, he will naturally not give up.
Just one point, he thought that Luo Ran kept him in the palace because he was thinking about him, but when she said this, it made a little gap in his heart.
The matter between Shi Nianshuang and Xiao Chen is not a secret either. After Qi Feng returned to the palace, he was asked to investigate, and the result was soon to come.
Qi Feng listened to the servant's words, his face was a little chilly, is it too deceiving to let him marry a woman who belongs to his heart? But what made him feel more ups and downs than this was that she did all this for the man beside her
Qi Feng and Shi Nianshuang both have their own thoughts, and the progress between the two is very fast. Qi Feng is at a loss because of what he has found, and his attitude towards Shi Nianshuang can't help but be a little indifferent, but he disguises it very well. It was because of Xiao Chen that he approached him, but he couldn't help but be moved later, either because of guilt, or because he coveted that tenderness.
When Qi'er told Luo Ran that the task was about to be completed, Luo Ran's eyes seemed to have a flash of disappointment, but Qi'er was not moved by her expression.
He knew that she was completely broken from the root, and there were thousands of ways to complete the task. She chose this way, not only to save trouble, but also because she was unfortunate herself, she wanted to pull others to accompany her misfortune.
Qi'er's eyes flickered, and she didn't do it at the beginning. She also tried to stay away from the hero and heroine to make herself better, but in the end, all tasks failed, because the world's main line was not on her, she did more by herself. , is just a passerby.
What's more, when one person is in the abyss, others are in the cloud, then either she climbs up, or she pulls everyone else down, so she has changed.
The matter between Qi Feng and Shi Nianshuang will soon come to an end. After all, the male protagonist rarely makes one shot, so how could it not be successful
Shi Nianshuang took the initiative to ask for marriage. Shi Xujin looked at her for a long time. It seemed that a lot of childishness had disappeared. He was silent for a while and asked her solemnly:
"Are you sure you want to marry him? You have to know that the kingdom of Xiliang is far from the capital, and I can't protect you."
Luo Ran was sitting next to Shi Xujin. When he said this, Qi Feng, Luo Yu, Xiao Chen and even Xiao Fuzi all looked at her, but she looked calm and seemed to have expected the little emperor's words.
Shi Nianshuang looked up at Shi Xujin, and finally saw the worry in his eyes. She suddenly burst into tears. It turned out that Jin'er didn't hate her, it turned out that he always had her as the imperial sister in his heart.
Shi Nianshuang looked at Luo Ran, she looked indifferent, as if she was not surprised or cared about her decision, Shi Nianshuang suddenly had the urge to regret it, but when he saw Xiao Chen, who was silent beside her, he suddenly calmed down. She endured the choking, and said firmly:
"I beg Jin'er to fulfill the imperial elder sister!"
Shi Xujin listened to her answer, her eyes were full of disappointment. She had been confused for so long, and finally she had to pay everything for a man. Shi Nianshuang also saw the disappointment in Shi Xujin's eyes, and she lowered her head and dared not look again.
Shi Xujin turned to look at Qi Feng, who already had the majesty of the lord of a country on his body, and he seemed to warn in a cold voice: "I will hand over the imperial sister to you. If you treat her badly, I will never forgive you!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Qi Feng's eyes, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of what he said at this time. He looked a little stern, glanced at Luo Ran, she didn't say a word, and seemed to acquiesce to Shi Xujin's words.
Qi Feng knew in his heart that his ambition was not in the backyard. He would give her a lifetime of honor. Thinking like this, he stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Qi Feng will definitely take good care of the eldest princess!"
The matter was settled, everyone withdrew, only Luo Ran and Shi Xujin were left in the imperial study. Shi Xujin stood beside Luo Ran, seeing Luo Ran's indifferent expression, not as loving as before, he suddenly felt aggrieved .
His little face flushed red, and finally made Luo Ran look at him, sighed, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, he suddenly plunged into Luo Ran's arms, crying like a child:
"Mother, I'm so sad."
He had never seen his biological mother, and his father was also disliked by him because he was raised by his mother since he was a child. Now his only blood sister, abandoned him for a man.
From beginning to end, he has only his mother by his side.
He suddenly raised his red eyes from crying, looked at Luo Ran, and asked her, "Mother, will you have other children?"
He knew it all, he knew what Xiao Chen did when he entered the palace, and he also knew the identity of Xiao Fuzi, that's why he asked this question.
He didn't want to endure the anger of his mother, but... If the mother had a child, would she not want him as well
Shi Xujin had fear and tension in his eyes. He pulled Luo Ran's sleeves tightly and didn't let go.
Luo Ran looked at him for a long time, his expression gradually eased, he wiped his tears and said, "No, you are the only child after the mother."
Her voice was flat, but Shi Xujin seemed to be assured, crying out all the worries and fears of the past few months in her arms.
An hour later, Luo Ran walked out of the imperial study. The horizon was flushed, but Xiao Chen and Xiao Fuzi were standing aside. Seeing her coming out, their eyes brightened, and the two walked towards her, not to be outdone.
"My lord, get up and drive back to the palace!"
