Dongfang Jin burst out laughing: "Do you really hate me that much?"
As he spoke, he moved closer, only a foot away from An Qingran. His breath even hit her face, with some heat and a hint of fragrance.
An Qingran stepped back, but there was a carriage board behind her, so she had nowhere to retreat, so she stared into his eyes, and found that he was really handsome. Every time she got along with him, she found more of his advantages. Not to mention his character today, just his eyes, in the dim carriage, were like two stars, shining. His lips were honey-colored, and when he was not talking, he often pursed them. When he spoke, there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking!
He looked a little more mysterious and charming than Dongfang Ye, which made her heart almost skip a beat.
Dongfang Jin looked at An Qingran's face which had suddenly become quiet. There was a bit of scrutiny and confusion on her pretty face, and even a hint of intoxication. His heart began to beat wildly. Damn it, he had never had such feelings towards any woman before, but he had thoughts about the girl in front of him. This was not a good sign.
He himself was also doubting how it was that in such a short time, in his eyes, she was no longer a little girl. Everything she did made him feel mature, capable, and generous. He just didn't believe that she was a little girl.
He pulled back and leaned against the compartment, still looking at An Qingran. Neither of them spoke for a while and the compartment fell silent. This moment of silence made An Qingran feel pressured. She felt that it would be better to let him talk endlessly.
Dongfang Jin obviously realized this, but he seemed to enjoy her panic.
In this way he had a sense of joy that he could grasp.
This kind of her made him regain his confidence in front of her, instead of relying on his laughter to hide his surprise at her excellence.
The two of them were silent for a while, and An Qingran suddenly liked this kind of silence. Neither of them spoke, and when he didn't speak, he didn't look like that annoying dandy boy, but a rare quiet beauty. God, I didn't realize he was so handsome before, it was because of his annoying appearance that ruined his beauty.
By the way, in his previous life, he married Lou Wanyue.
So, she suddenly asked, "Of the three best in the capital, which one do you like the most?"
"Like?" Dongfang Jin didn't expect her to ask such a question. The expression on his face was very strange. One of his eyebrows was raised high, while the other one did not move.
An Qingran looked at him and burst out laughing, but she was still waiting for his answer.
Dongfang Jin finally spoke: "Why do you ask this question? And it's strange why I like one of them?"
"Because..." An Qingran suddenly couldn't continue. Should she tell him that his Crown Princess in his previous life was Lou Wanyue?
"Tell me, are you concerned about me?" Dongfang Jin suddenly returned to his previous nonchalant look and looked at An Qingran with bright eyes.
An Qingran felt that she had asked a stupid question.
"It's fine if you don't say it. Everyone knows that Miss Lou should find a husband after she reaches the age of 15!"
"Are you hinting at something?" Dongfang Jin asked.
"I didn't, I just asked a quick question, if you don't want to tell me, forget it..." An Qingran said profoundly.
Dongfang Jin thought about it and shook his head: "Three Wonders? I don't seem to have noticed them today. Instead, I only saw a girl stealing the show on the stage, dancing and painting. Oh, don't tell me you can sing..."
An Qingran curled her lips: "So what if singing is a talent? I'm not a singer..."
"It seems that my idea is not bold enough..."
Dongfang Jin's eyes began to light up.
Looking at his wolf-like eyes, An Qingran thought that maybe she had said something wrong. Apparently, she had never paid special attention to anything when talking to him.
She felt very relaxed.
But she didn't like him the way he was.
This made her feel not disgusted, but rather a sense of panic.
"Prince, do you want to go back to the General's Mansion or the Imperial Palace?" An Qingran suddenly asked, because judging from the noises outside, they should be almost at the General's Mansion.
His hitchhiking was ridiculous.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Dongfang Jin left as soon as he said so, and he left very cleanly and neatly. An Qingran turned around, but only the car curtain was moving. When she opened the curtain, Dongfang Jin had disappeared...
His lightness skill is really extraordinary.
An Qingran didn't know what he meant, but the journey went by surprisingly fast with his jokes.
Dongfang Jin watched the carriage enter the gate of the general's mansion before he came out from his hiding place. There was no more playfulness on his face, but a serious expression. He would not tell this silly girl that he took the carriage just to send her home safely.
After An Qingran returned to the general's mansion, she told her mother what had happened. Her mother was very happy because she knew that her daughter was outstanding.
But at the same time, he was also secretly worried that if he showed off like this, he would get into trouble.
Fortunately, for a while the only rumor in the capital was that An Qingran was the fourth most talented person in the capital, and nothing else was said.
An Zhongtao has been smiling these days because An Qingran has brought honor to him. However, it is the opposite for An Zhongyuan's family. An Ranyue told her family what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, and they felt that this was a crisis.
It's not a good thing for them.
Many days passed without any incident.
The general's mansion was unusually quiet.
That morning, before An Qingran got up, she heard Rendong's urgent voice calling her. This was a rare thing, because even if she slept late, she would not call her.
What happened today?
She opened her eyes, still feeling sleepy: "I went to bed very late last night, what happened to Honeysuckle…"
"Miss, if nothing happened, I wouldn't have woken you up. I just got up early and went to the kitchen to get bird's nest, and I heard Qiaojie crying outside Lanxiao Pavilion. She cried so loudly that it really scared me!"
"It's nothing. Her mother was sold, so she misses her too!" An Qingran said.
"Miss, it's not like that. She is crying for the Second Madam. Oh, no, now she is crying for the concubine." There was a hidden smile in Honeysuckle's eyes. It was obvious that this matter made her very proud, or at least very happy.
"What's going on? Just finish what you said. I'm confused. Could it be that she..." An Qingran's face turned strange. She was crying so early in the morning. Something big must have happened.
"No, she was crying for Concubine Lian, saying that Concubine Lian had nightmares every night, dreaming that ghosts were circling around her, calling them to get up in the middle of the night and asking them to look for them inside and outside the house, but of course they couldn't find them. So, when Concubine Lian woke up this morning, she sat on the bed and muttered that she had done evil things and was looking for retribution!"
