Chapter 158 An Yun's Wedding
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Bai Lan who was sitting opposite her.
He said nonchalantly, "Princess, can you please let your little maid leave?"
"Impossible." Yinzhu said immediately. She intuitively felt that the person in front of her was a very dangerous person.
So she stood guard in front of Zhao Mingzhu and did not retreat a single step.
Zhao Mingzhu still couldn't believe that the other party was not really a human.
"You are not Bai Lan." She said affirmatively.
Bai Lan sighed when he heard this: "I was discovered after all."
Bai Lan opened his lips and sang a song that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. Not long after, Yinzhu fell unconscious.
"Silver beads?"
Zhao Mingzhu called out to her, and then she heard Bai Lan say, "She won't wake up within an incense stick of time, Crown Princess."
Zhao Mingzhu looked at him and revealed Bai Lan's identity:
"Bai...oh no, you're a mermaid."
Zhao Mingzhu had some difficulty uttering the word "mermaid". She just couldn't understand why there were mermaids in this world?!
But Bai Lan's following words successfully made this matter reasonable.
He blinked his fox eyes, but his expression was cold:
"Why are you so surprised, Princess? You are not from here, but you are here too."
If someone else heard this, they would probably be confused.
But Zhao Mingzhu understood the other person in an instant. He actually knew that she was not the real Zhao Mingzhu.
"How do you know?"
Bai Lan bent down and picked up the shark scales on the ground:
"From the first moment I saw the Crown Princess, I knew that your soul is different from theirs."
Zhao Mingzhu was silent.
"Why do you want to pretend to be Bai Lan?" Zhao Mingzhu asked the question she wanted to ask most.
Bai Lan looked at the scales in his palm. He had plucked them out on the first night of his adulthood. He didn't expect that Fang Niang would pick them up.
It almost caused big trouble.
Bai Lan looked at Zhao Mingzhu and corrected her, "I'm not pretending to be him. I am him."
That's why after he got ashore, he traveled thousands of miles back to the capital to find An Yun and then recognize her as his relative.
"No, you are not Bai Lan, the eldest son of General Yongwei's mansion. You are a mermaid."
Zhao Mingzhu said word by word.
After hearing this, the mermaid Bai Lan shook her head and denied this statement:
"No, I am Bai Lan, and now Bai Lan is me."
He smiled, and Zhao Mingzhu realized that his teeth seemed a little too sharp from certain angles.
"He was dying, and I asked him, and he agreed to eat him, so I became him."
The merman spoke in a normal tone, as if he was just eating a dish. Zhao Mingzhu's forehead twitched.
The other party continued: "Whoever I eat, I will become that person. It is his own consent."
Zhao Mingzhu suddenly recalled some images in her mind and frowned.
"Then why do you have to return to the capital and marry An Yun?"
To be honest, mermaids live in the deep sea all year round, and they probably don't like to be close to people.
After hearing this, Bai Lan recalled and said slowly:
"I saw Ayun in his memory, and I like her."
So he went straight to the capital. The first time he saw An Yun, he became more and more convinced that she was the one he wanted.
He came for An Yun from the beginning to the end.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at him questioningly, doubting his words. Could a mermaid fall in love with a human? Or was it love at first sight?
Bai Lan understood this and said dissatisfiedly, "Who says what our preferences must be? Crown Princess, don't be so narrow-minded!"
Zhao Mingzhu, who was taught a lesson: ...
"But you and Anzi are not from the same tribe. How can you get married and have children?"
Zhao Mingzhu considered the reality and raised questions.
"Why didn't you ask this question when you wrote the storybooks about rabbits becoming spirits, foxes becoming spirits, marrying scholars, and having children?"
Zhao Mingzhu said confidently:
"You know that's a storybook written by humans. What do we know? It's all made up to satisfy our own fantasies."
Bai Lan thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He said in a gentle voice:
"Crown Princess, I am now Bai Lan. I can do everything he can do. The only difference is..."
Bai Lan paused and said, "I have a long life. After Ayun dies, I will wait for her to be reborn as a human being."
Bai Lan touched the jade pendant on his waist. He really liked An Yun.
Mermaids are different from humans. They can only have one partner in their life.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at him. Anzai also had the jade pendant on his waist, and it was said that it was a pair with Bai Lan.
It can be seen that she likes the jade pendant and has a good impression of Bai Lan.
In that case, there is no reason for me to stop it.
Zhao Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "Treat her well."
"certainly."
Zhao Mingzhu signaled that he could leave.
Bai Lan stood up and turned around. He took out a round bead:
"Ayun likes you, and I want to like you too."
Zhao Mingzhu corrected him: "You should also love the whole family. How did you get the top score? You didn't cheat, did you? How can you use the same words as Anzi?"
Bai Lan frowned: "I didn't cheat, I took the test myself."
Then he continued, "This is a mermaid pearl. It can strengthen the soul and spirit, and it can also... Never mind, I can't tell you this directly. The Crown Princess will find out later."
Zhao Mingzhu reached out to take it, and the mermaid pearl shone with a soft light:
"I took it away. I hope you won't lose your beastly nature and get up in the middle of the night to steal fish. If Anzi found out, he would be scared to death."
Bai Lan: ...
He finally understood who Ayun learned her sometimes poor talking from.
Bai Lan said with a forced smile, "Don't worry, Princess, it won't happen."
Bai Lan walked to the door and said, "Princess, don't think about running away with Ayun. I can chase her to the ends of the earth."
"Then you have a very good sense of smell." Zhao Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and praised.
It was getting light.
In the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
An Yun, wearing her wedding dress, pulled Zhao Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Zhao Mingzhu looked at An Yun, whose face was as beautiful as a flower, and asked, "Do you like Bai Lan?"
She blurted out.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking me this?" When An Yun turned her head, the pearls and jade of the phoenix corona clashed, and she said:
"You should like it, you definitely don't hate it, why are you asking?"
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the confused An Yun and pinched her cheek with her hand:
"Nothing, just saying that Bai Lan is pretty good, and someone will help you with your studies from now on."
"Are you kidding me?"
An Yun still remembers that when she bought him back home, he refused to help her at all and refused to copy a single word for her!
Can we count on it now?
An Yun hummed.
Seeing that it was almost time to go out, An Yun asked in a low voice:
"It's such an important day, but Gu Yu can't come."
Hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, she won't run away with the gift money."
An Yun pouted, then said, "If she can come, I can give her a gift money."
Zhao Mingzhu smiled and stuffed the fruit into her hand.
"A good marriage is made in the past, a good couple is made in heaven."
Mrs. Quanfu dropped the veil on An Yun's head and helped her out of the room.
At this time, Gu Yu's voice came from outside the door.
"I wish we could be a pair of flying geese, never parting for a hundred years."
Zhao Mingzhu and the veiled Gu Yu looked at each other and noticed that An Yun wanted to lift the veil.
Zhao Mingzhu held her hand.
"We can't lift it up. We'll have plenty of opportunities later."
Life is long, and they can be friends for life.
