Chapter 107 Love at first sight

"Will you really spend every Mid-Autumn Festival with me?"

Chu Ran had asked this question once, but the last time he asked it, no matter how Li Fu answered, Chu Ran still had some doubts in his heart.

Is it really possible?

It’s not possible, right?

Even parents, who are as close as they are to their children, may lie to them and abandon them one day, let alone others?

Therefore, even if Li Fu could not fulfill this promise, Chu Ran would not blame Li Fu for it, because he knew that this promise itself was difficult to fulfill.

But Li Fu took the initiative to mention the promise he had made to Chu Ran.

The person to whom the promise was made just laughed it off, but the person who made the promise took it to heart.

"Really." Li Fu promised solemnly, "Every year, starting from this year, every year."

"Although it's not Mid-Autumn Festival yet, it's coming soon." Chu Ran said with a smile, "So we can celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival in advance."

Chu Ran didn't have high demands. No matter when Li Fu fulfilled his promise, as long as he could fulfill it, it was good enough.

"It's a pity that I came in such a hurry today that I didn't bring any mooncakes. But it's okay. It's good to be able to meet you."

Li Fu grabbed Chu Ran's hand, pulled Chu Ran, and pulled him to sit on his lap.

He gently touched Chu Ran's forehead and said, "I'll leave soon."

"Um."

For some reason, Chu Ran's eyes became sore and he felt like crying.

Li Fu stroked the corners of Chu Ran's moist eyes with his rough fingers. His throat moved and he wanted to say something, but he seemed to know that no matter what he said, it would be in vain, so he said nothing.

After a brief meeting, Li Fu hurriedly left the capital.

Chu Ran stood at the city gate, leading his horse, and watched Li Fu leave. He waited until his figure completely disappeared in the distance before he turned around and walked back.

"Don't be sad."

A voice behind me said vaguely, "Maybe in three or five years, we'll see each other again. Besides, don't you write letters often? If you miss him, just write a letter."

As soon as Chu Ran turned around, Qin Nianwei was standing opposite him. She was holding a big pineapple in her hand and was chewing it with a crunchy crunch.

Chu Ran looked at her in surprise for a while, then asked, "Why didn't you leave?"

"Why should I leave?"

"But they are all..." Chu Ran pointed behind him, "They are all gone."

"You're talking about them. I'm not with them. I came here for my own business."

"oh."

Chu Ran wasn't very familiar with her to begin with, so after talking to her for a few words, he planned to go back to the palace.

But I didn't expect Qin Nianwei to follow me like this.

Chu Ran initially thought that Qin Nianwei was going the same way as him, but the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed that Qin Nianwei was actually following him.

"Uh... this is the way back to the palace." Chu Ran reminded her tactfully, wondering if she had taken the wrong road.

"I know." Qin Nianwei had already eaten half of the pear and was chewing the other half. "I plan to enter the palace."

Chu Ran didn't say anything, guessing that she had her own way to enter the palace.

But after a while, Qin Nianwei suddenly asked: "Can you help me sneak into the palace?"

Chu Ran: “?”

Qin Nianwei frowned, "No?"

Chu Ran didn't know how Qin Nianwei saw that he had the ability to help people sneak into the palace.

"Aren't you a eunuch in the palace? You can't even handle such a small matter?"

Chu Ran really didn't know who told Qin Nianwei that it was a very easy task to let anyone sneak into the palace. If this was really as easy as she said, the palace would have been filled with assassins long ago.

"It's not easy to accomplish this." Chu Ran explained to her patiently, "It requires a lot of procedures. The most important thing is that you have to tell me what you want to do when you enter the palace."

If she wanted to assassinate the emperor, Chu Ran would definitely not agree. Regardless of whether she succeeded in the assassination or not, Chu Ran would inevitably end up with his family confiscated and his clan exterminated.

"It turns out to be so troublesome. I misunderstood." Qin Nianwei said, "I went to the palace just to see someone."

"who?"

"Li Dingning."

Chu Ran paused and looked at Qin Nianwei in confusion, "Fifth Prince? What do you want to do with him?"

Qin Nianwei said: "It's nothing, I just want to see him."

"If you don't explain clearly, I won't help you."

What Chu Ran didn't say was that if it wasn't for Li Fu's sake, Chu Ran wouldn't help even if she explained it clearly.

Qin Nianwei stared at Chu Ran for a while, her expression seemed a little hesitant, but in the end she told the truth.

"When I was a child, I followed my father to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday. I accidentally ran into the Fifth Prince in the palace. He was very handsome, and I have never forgotten him. I want to go to the palace to see if he is still as handsome as he was when he was young."

Chu Ran understood. This was the feeling of falling in love at first sight. To be more precise, it was lust at first sight.

"So you came to the capital just for this?"

"It's not just for this matter." However, Qin Nianwei did not continue to say the next words, "But this is also a very important matter."

In fact, it was very easy for Qin Nianwei to meet Li Dingning. They didn't have to meet in the palace. After all, Li Dingning went out every few days, so it was still very easy for Qin Nianwei to meet Li Dingning.

"Then I'll think of a way for you to meet him." Chu Ran said, "But it may not be in the palace."

Qin Nianwei didn't care, "It's the same outside the palace."

"Then just wait for my news."

When he returned to the palace, it was already very late. Chu Ran thought about it and went to Li Dingning to explain. Li Dingning was very angry because Chu Ran said he would be back soon, but Chu Ran walked for a whole day and returned to the palace in the evening.

But he didn't say that Chu Ran didn't follow the rules. Maybe it was because he himself didn't follow the rules very much, so he seldom used the rules to demand Chu Ran to follow them.

Chu Ran originally wanted to tell Li Dingning about Qin Nianwei, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Qin Nianwei's identity is also quite sensitive. Revealing Qin Nianwei's identity might have some impact on Li Fu, so Chu Ran feels that he should be cautious in this matter.

As expected, Li Dingning could not stay in the palace, and two days later, she clamored to leave.

Chu Ran secretly revealed the fact that Li Dingning was leaving the palace to Qin Nianwei, and then accompanied Li Dingning out of the palace.

There were many stalls on the roadside. Li Dingning had always been interested in folk trinkets, so he trotted over, intending to pick out some of his favorite gadgets to take back to the palace.

Chu Ran stood behind Li Dingning and followed him.

Li Dingning looked around and finally found a silver gourd. Just as he reached out his hand, a sword suddenly got there first and pressed on the silver gourd. "Shopkeeper, I want this."

Chu Ran was standing aside as a pillar, but he heard Qin Nianwei's voice. He shuddered and woke up instantly. He didn't know where Qin Nianwei came from, and Chu Ran didn't even see it.

Li Dingning turned his head and glanced at Qin Nianwei, wondering what kind of woman this is, she is taller than him.

The thing he liked was snatched away by someone else first. Li Dingning searched the stall again and quickly reached out his hand again.

But Qin Nianwei still took action before him. She pointed her sword sheath at the object and said, "I want this too."

Li Dingning was not very happy and his face turned a little dark. From then on, whenever he took a fancy to something, Qin Nianwei would be the first to get it.

Li Dingning was holding back his anger, but in line with the life motto that a good man should not fight with a woman, Li Dingning turned his head and said to Chu Ran angrily: "Let's go."

"etc."

Qin Nianwei suddenly spoke from behind. Li Dingning turned around, his face dark as the bottom of a pot. Just as he was about to ask what he was doing, Qin Nianwei glanced at the things on the stall and said, "These are all for you."

After saying that, Qin Nianwei paid the bill, turned around and left.

Chu Ran clearly saw that Li Dingning's face turned red the moment the other person turned around.

Chu Ran: “…”
