MTL - Professional Accomplishment Of A White Lotus-Chapter 25
Looking at his lonely look, Luo Ran's eyes seemed to fluctuate. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he did not meet Xiao Chen, and he heard the voice of Father Gong:
"Mrs. Queen Mother, the Emperor is here."
He seemed to know what would happen in the inner hall, and did not come in. Instead, he lowered his voice across a curtain, and seemed to be afraid of disturbing the inside.
Luo Ran moved a moment, and retracted her hand the next moment, no longer looking at Xiao Chen's slightly lost look. She sat up, raised her fingertips towards Xiao Chen, and motioned for him to open.
Xiao Chen's eyes changed several times, and finally she glanced at Luo Ran, but saw that she did not look at herself at all, helped her softly to stand up slowly, and stood aside.
After seeing him stand up, Luo Ran spoke to the outside: "I see, let the emperor come in."
He saw that the tea at her hand was no longer hot, and renewed it for her, lowering her eyebrows and handing her the tea, she said quietly, "Mother ..."
Luo Ran didn't embarrass him at this time, glanced at him, took it, took a sip, and the little emperor came in.
The little emperor is only seven years old today. It is still a naughty and fun time. When he came to Luoran here, he even took off his strong face outside and rushed into Luoran's arms, shouting hummingly:
"Mother!"
Luo Ran was amused by him, and there was a touch of tenderness in her eyes. The child she raised herself was naturally affectionate. He took him and asked him about his homework today. After answering them one by one, he asked her puzzledly:
"Mother, why didn't you go up?"
There was also the child's innocence while speaking.
Luo Ran took a handkerchief and gently rubbed his forehead somehow, and answered him with a small smile: "Because my mother is uncomfortable today."
The emperor's face changed instantly, and she looked at her anxiously: "Where are you uncomfortable, mother? Have you passed on the doctor?"
He was so anxious that his tears filled his eyes, but he remembered the emperor's etiquette and Luo Ran's teachings, and couldn't cry, so he pursed his lips, his face flushed.
Luo Ran first smiled and didn't try to coax him, but looking at her, the little emperor knew she was fine, relieved, and looked at her resentfully.
Xiao Chen on the side looked at the performance of the two, and his expression moved. He thought that the relationship between the queen and the emperor was not good, at most it was only face, but now the performance of the emperor after entering, It completely broke his opinion.
Xiao Chen pursed her lips and gave a complicated look at Luo Ran. She seemed to think differently than herself.
Luo Ran felt Xiao Chen's sight, but ignored him, but took the little emperor, seemingly casually asking: "Jin Er, why are you sweating so much?"
Shi Xujin's expression froze. The vivid expression on his face had just disappeared. His fingers moved, and he looked at Luo Ran cautiously, then whispered, and muttered:
"Er ... Erchen has just met the emperor."
"Oh?" Luo Ran's look remained the same, but she moved her eyes deep, with a slight smile, and she seemed a little puzzled and asked with some pity:
"When you met the princess, why did you sweat so much?"
Shi Xujin wrinkled a small face, and seemed to be hesitant to say, in the end, he still said: "The son-Chen sees her and runs away!"
After speaking, he also seemed to know that his behavior was wrong. He put aside his face, and after a while, carefully looked at Luo Ran's face.
His mother taught him to get along well with her, but he didn't like her.
Luo Ran smirked, and she slapped Shi Xujin: "What's the matter?"
Seeing Luo Ran's look not angry, Shi Xujin was relieved. He turned around with some dissatisfaction on his face and muttered:
"She sent someone to keep her son-in-law on her way to greet her mother-in-law, and she told her mother-in-law ..." Bad words!
But in the end, he stopped and didn't say anything. He blinked, remembering that it was his mother and sister's brother and sister. He pursed his lips, glanced at Luo Ran a bit guilty, and then guilty Drop your head.
Even if he didn't say it, Luo Ran knew what he wanted to say. After all, it wasn't a day or two thing that Shi Nianshuang was dissatisfied with her.
When the old emperor was there before, she still had some confidence to fight her. Since the old emperor died, she was a little bit weak and hid in the palace until she heard that it was Shi Xujin and her brother and brother came to power. .
Luo Ran's eyes looked slightly cool. If it wasn't for Shi Xujin's sister, for Shi Xujin's sake, she thought she could still live so safely?
As for her instigation of her relationship with Shi Xujin, the smile in Luo Ran's mouth with some irony is really foolish. If she leaves her, what can Shi Xujin do as a seven-year-old child?
All thoughts were just a moment, Luo Ran hooked his lips with a smile, handed the warm tea to Xiao Chen, reached out and patted Shi Xujin's uneasy head, Wen Sheng said:
"Okay, my mother knows it, but it won't be so in the future. That's your brother and sister. You should get along with her."
Luo Ran's words were meaningful, she grinned and looked at Shi Xujin softly.
Shi Xujin lowered her head, pursed her lips and mumbled, "She is not my sister."
She didn't seem to hear him, but the smile on the corner of her mouth grew deeper. Noisy, it was the best that Shi Xujin had exhausted all her feelings for her.
At that time, she was really worthless.
Xiao Chen, who was standing aside, looked at Luo Ran's mouth with a cool smile, only to feel that his body was cold, but his heart trembled fiercely.
There was a little fanaticism in his eyes, and it was excitement. He was like a bed bug living in a ditch. He could do whatever he wanted.
He hated all light, because it was so bright, but she, he suddenly found that there was light in the dark, and he stared at Luo Ran tightly.
Luo Ran seemed to perceive his eyes, and when he saw the enthusiasm in his eyes, he just scratched the corner of his mouth and smiled. She seemed to be able to understand all his thoughts, but was still laughing at him.
Xiao Chen gathered all the looks and smiled at her docilely.
She turned her head and no one saw her look. At this time Shi Xujin raised her head as if she had just discovered Xiao Chen. His little man frowned. How could a man appear in this harem?
Shi Xujin glanced at him again, did not hold back, and asked the exit: "Mother, who is this person? How is he in the palace?"
Luo Ran's expression was very calm. Even when he heard Shi Xujin's words, there was no trace of panic, and even a little carelessness:
"He is the sister-in-law of King An's Mansion, who sent him to the palace, saying that he was serving his mother."
"After serving the mother?" Shi Xujin wrinkled her face and felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. It was only after several people served the mother. What could be wrong?
He couldn't figure it out, put it down, smiled at Luo Ran, and held her homework to praise her.
Shi Xujin stayed here for lunch before leaving.
After he left, Luo Ran got a little attention to Xiao Chen. He knew she had something to say to him, took a step forward, bent over and listened, and gestured enough.
She is surrounded by palace people, a palace woman shaking a fan, a palace woman kneeling on the ground and kneading her ankles. Due to the summer heat, the palace people moved the ice cubes to the inner hall, and because they were not beautiful, they used The screen was covering each screen, and each screen was sewn by Jiangnan Xiu Niang herself. Each brick and tile in Fengquan Palace was extravagant.
With her eyes half open, Zhu Lips were spotless and pale, her complexion was as fair as white porcelain, and her long, raised eyelashes occasionally trembled. She cast her gaze on him, asking without any concealment:
"You come in, what do you want?"
If you pay, you naturally want to have something in return, and no one will be an exception, and so is he.
As soon as he wanted to speak, she was interrupted. She opened her eyes suddenly, the light inside was burning, but she looked at him lightly, but also made him feel a bit stagnant. She smiled lightly, and didn't want to hear those flattering people If it's fake, add this sentence:
"You can think about it before answering, this palace never gives people two chances."
The words that were about to blurt out were swallowed back by him again, and he knew that lying in front of her was tantamount to digging the grave himself, so he should be honest, but what did he want?
Power? he wants.
But it's not just power, but what? He couldn't say.
He lowered his head, with a very serious tone: "I don't know."
She didn't ask much, waved her hands at random, and didn't seem to care: "Think of it then."
Later, she did not want to talk to him anymore, and reached out to invite Father-in-law: "Little Fuzi, arrange a place for him, and he will be available on call."
After saying this, she looked at him with a squint and a smile, and said quite playfully: "Homiya also wants to know, how are you going to serve this house?"
Xiao Chen's face was slightly stiff, but there was a touch of red in his ears. He wanted nothing more than an unmanned fledgling. If he wanted to serve her, how could he speak in the public?
Then came her low laughter, with the shallow charming voice inside, Xiao Chen was at a loss for the first time, he glanced at the other palace people, but no one looked up, or his expression changed, he I was shocked that the people in her house were very well behaved.
He pursed his lips, and the inexplicable astringency just disappeared. He pressed his voice slightly and seemed to be lingering: "I always listen to my mother."
Luo Ran glanced at him in surprise, as if satisfied with his remarks, but not in a hurry, when he saw the father-in-law coming in, he laughed and ordered: "Take him over."
After speaking, she stopped looking at him, closed her eyes, and let the palace people around her serve her.
Xiao Chen stood up straight at this time, glanced at her more, his eyes moved slightly, and he retreated with the father-in-law.
He had thought that she would leave him today.
He remembered the people of An'an Mansion said that although she was in a high position, she was lonely.
As the saying goes, the heights are extremely cold. Like that sentence, lonely.
They said that she needed someone who knew its warmth and coldness, but Xiao Chen's look remained unchanged, but his heart circulated several times. He narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips slightly, wondering what he was thinking.
