Ye Xinran looked in shock at the painting of a beauty in the center of the lobby.
The woman in the beauty painting is tall and slender, with an oval face, peach blossom eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, a pretty nose, skin whiter than snow, and red lips and white teeth.
That’s exactly what Ye Xinran looked like.
She was holding a herb in her hand, examining it. Her expression was focused and serious, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
The background of the picture is the scene surrounding her space, and it is also the small village that she often dreams of.
"Princess, this is why I asked you to come here!" Mr. Lu said excitedly.
"This is my grandmother, but my father has never seen her! This portrait was painted by my grandfather."
Ye Xinran came back to her senses, frowned, and said nothing.
"Princess, look, don't you look a lot like my grandmother?" said Master Lu.
Not only are they very similar, they are almost identical. Even the mole on the exposed ear is in the same position.
"You don't think I'm your grandmother, do you? Or that I'm your grandmother's reincarnation?"
Mr. Lu's eyes lit up and he said, "You are in your prime, so of course you can't be my grandmother. But it is very likely that you are my grandmother's reincarnation!"
Ye Xinran wanted to say, your grandmother's body is probably the one in my space! It's a pity that I can't let her out! Otherwise, the space will be in chaos.
As for the reincarnation that Master Lu mentioned, she just listened to it. Even if she was the reincarnation of his grandmother, so what? She was just her now.
Seeing that Ye Xinran had no other reaction except the initial surprise, Master Lu was a little anxious. He thought of a clever idea.
"Princess, let me tell you the story of my grandparents!"
Ye Xinran didn't want to listen, but Mr. Lu seemed very excited and started talking to himself.
"My grandfather was called Lu Si because he was the fourth child in the family!"
Ye Xinran's eyes darkened. It was indeed the man who looked like Gu Yanming in her dream.
"When my grandfather was young and a hunter in Lvli Village, he went hunting in the mountains one day and accidentally saved a man. The man was bitten by a snake and was in critical condition. He could only find his fiancée Li Zisu, who studied medicine with his father, and asked her to help treat the man. Li Zisu is my grandmother."
Master Lu kindly explained, "It's also the person who looks exactly like the princess in the painting."
Ye Xinran nodded.
"With my grandmother's treatment and careful care, the man finally woke up and recovered. Soon the man left their village.
I originally thought that this was just an ordinary act of kindness, but it brought about a huge disaster.
They didn't expect that the person they saved was none other than the King of Freedom Mu Linqi. They also didn't expect that Mu Linqi would fall in love with my grandmother at first sight.
Not long after returning to his fiefdom, he came with great fanfare to propose marriage, bringing with him the betrothal gifts.
My grandmother didn't want to, and King Xiaoyao didn't force her, he really cared about her."
Mr. Lu sighed.
"But fate plays tricks on me. I originally thought that I would just take over the matter. But I didn't expect that Xiaoyao Wang's wife, Bai, knew that the prince had someone else in his heart. In a rage, she actually sent someone to kill my grandmother.
But it happened that my grandmother went to the next village to help deliver a baby that day. The wife of a scholar was in danger of bleeding during a difficult labor, so my grandmother stayed for a few more days. Later, the scholar was grateful to my grandmother and painted this portrait of my grandfather.
Princess Xiaoyao failed to catch the man, and in a rage, she ordered her men to massacre the entire village. When my grandfather came back from hunting, he saw corpses all over the ground. From old women to ignorant children, there were more than a hundred people in total, and no one was spared.
I heard from a villager who was still breathing that it was people from Xiaoyao Palace, and they said they wanted to capture my grandmother.
When I asked where my grandmother had gone, she had already died.
Grandfather buried all the villagers and searched for grandmother for a long time but couldn't find her. He thought she was captured by King Xiaoyao. So he left the village and went to King Xiaoyao's fiefdom to find him.
Unfortunately, not long after leaving the village, he was captured by the rebels.
My grandmother waited until the woman in labor was stable before leaving the neighboring village and returning to her own village. When she came back, she was dumbfounded.
All she saw were graves. She was the only one left in the entire village, all alone. Her grandmother's father had died and her grandfather was nowhere to be found.
King Xiaoyao accidentally found out the whole story.
In anger, he killed Princess Bai.
I came to the village in person to apologize, but found that only my grandmother was left and my grandfather was nowhere to be found.
He found my grandmother and, through many persuasion, brought her back to the palace and named her the princess.
At this time, my grandmother was actually two months pregnant with my father.
The two of them lived a respectful life to each other. A few months later, my father was born and was naturally named the crown prince.
But as the former princess's family, the Bai family, interfered and rumors spread, my grandmother found out what was going on in the village and blamed herself. She gradually lost her appetite and became depressed. Her health deteriorated. Within two years, she passed away, leaving my father as a baby, crying out for food.
But what my grandmother didn't know was that during this period, in order to cure her illness, King Xiaoyao listened to the crazy Taoist priest and killed many innocent women and children. In the end, he failed to cure her. In the end, he was left with a reputation for cruelty and murder.
My grandfather served as a soldier abroad, traveling to various places, and finally had his own troops and the ability to fight against King Xiaoyao. He attacked King Xiaoyao when he had lost the support of his people. He soon reached King Xiaoyao's palace.
I learned about everything that had happened over the years and also met my father, who was already five years old.
For many years, my grandmother and King Xiaoyao were husband and wife in name only, but not in reality.
My grandfather asked King Xiaoyao to return my grandmother's body, but King Xiaoyao was only willing to return my father's body and refused to return my grandmother's body.
The two sides have been in a stalemate.
The people of the previous dynasty had lost all their support, and rebellions broke out in various places. There were also people rebelling in the land of King Xiaoyao. By the time the news reached them, King Xiaoyao had already disappeared.
Grandfather searched for Grandmother's body in vain, and his hair turned white overnight."
Mr. Lu sighed.
"Later, the country was settled, the Gu family ruled the country, and my grandfather was named King of Zhenxi. My grandfather could not let go of my grandmother, so he asked the scholar who had seen my grandmother to paint this picture."
Ye Xinran listened and was touched. She had come into contact with those villagers in her dream. The oldest one was a grandmother, who was already 68 years old. She didn't expect that she would die a violent death. And Xiaodunzi, who was only two years old and so cute, was killed. Oh...
"My grandfather once had a dream in which my grandmother told him that they would meet again."
Master Lu smiled helplessly and continued, "My grandfather took it seriously and submitted his resignation to the founding emperor. He never went to court again and took my father to search for my grandmother all over the world. He almost went crazy.
Until an old abbot couldn't bear it anymore and told my grandfather helplessly that my grandmother would indeed appear again, but not at this time, but after several generations. "
