But every time I meet the prince, why is it that either he or I have misfortune? Is it destined that he and I will be each other's benefactors?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
Dongfang Ruoxue looked at everything in front of her with a smile on her face: "This mountain is like a painting, it is a rare beauty!"
"Yes, this mountain can come alive in your painting..." An Qingran said with a smile.
"Are you making fun of me?"
"No way? I wonder how many people in the capital have begged for favors and filed lawsuits to get your paintings!" An Qingran said seriously.
"Okay, I'll give you a painting some other day. What do you want to paint?" Dongfang Ruoxue said with a smile in her eyes.
"Well, I thought, let me paint a picture of two ladies climbing a mountain and thinking about autumn!"
"Your paintings are really annoying..." Dongfang Ruoxue frowned and said, "But I like it. It's just that if I come to this mountain in winter, it will be covered with snow, and it will be more artistic to appreciate the plum blossoms in the snow!"
"Okay, let's come back in winter. It would be best to bring a few more people with us. After we finish looking for plum blossoms in the snow, we can go hunting together..."
"Amitabha, you are so bold to say that in this pure land of Buddhism!" Dongfang Ruoxue said with a wry smile.
"That's fine. I'm the general's daughter. Who from the general's mansion is afraid of blood? Even if there is an Avici Hell, people like the general who fought for the people will go to hell after death? That's really unfair. There is another reason. I mainly think that my cousin Lian Muhan is the best archer. If he comes too, wouldn't it be more interesting?"
Dongfang Ruoxue didn't say anything after hearing her say this. After a while, she said, "Who knows what will happen at that time. It doesn't matter what we say now. Time passes too fast. We are always afraid that things will change and people will change..."
"Why do you feel so sad suddenly?" An Qingran asked in surprise. Could it be that he is planning to marry a foreign princess now?
Dongfang Ruoxue just smiled and didn't answer.
An Qingran felt a little sad. If it was true, wouldn't she have to leave the capital? Then she could only keep her feelings for Lian Muhan in her heart, and wouldn't she have failed to help her in this life?
When she was worried, she didn't pay attention to her feet and happened to step on a stone. The stone was loose, and she missed the step. Her body fell backwards involuntarily. In the critical moment, she reacted quickly and twisted her body. She should have been able to balance, but the ground was loose and she lost her balance and fell straight backwards. Dongfang Ruoxue reached out to pull her but it was too late. In order not to disturb the two young ladies' conversation, Rendong and the maids just followed from a distance. Now they wanted to come over, but it was too late for them to stretch their arms!
But An Qingran did not fall to the ground, but fell into a warm embrace. She raised her eyes in shock, but saw an extremely handsome face. The whole person's face exuded a tranquil aura, and his eyes were like water, with ripples!
She looked at the young man in white. Why did he look so familiar?
When she heard Dongfang Ruoxue calling him brother, she realized that he was Dongfang Run, the number one young master in the capital!
However, before she could say thank you, Dongfang Run said, "Are you okay?"
An Qingran nodded: "Thank you, sir..."
"It's just a small matter..." After saying that, he just nodded, turned and left, and soon disappeared into the woods.
"Why is he here?" An Qingran said with emotion. She hadn't thanked him yet. It was a good thing that he saved Rendong in the last incident!
In fact, she didn't know that the person Dongfang Run wanted to save was her.
Dongfang Run is a calm person. People like him should not fall in love, as once they do, everything will be dark and chaotic.
The last time Dongfang Run saw An Qingran in Lou Mansion, he was shocked by her beauty and his heart could not calm down anymore. So this time, after learning the news that An Qingran would come to Yuehua Temple, he informed Dongfang Ruoxue. He wanted to protect his sister, so he could naturally not leave any traces. However, he did not expect that Dongfang Jin would rescue An Qingran first. He understood from the look in Dongfang Jin's eyes that with his doting and domineering attitude, he was afraid that there was no hope for him!
Fight with the prince?
Last night, he couldn't fall asleep. Later, he came to the yard and just looked in the direction of the wing room. There were countless emotions surging in his heart, but in the end, he didn't move...
"Brother must be afraid that we are in danger, so he has been protecting us secretly!" Dongfang Ruoxue said with a smile at this time, "Luckily he is here, otherwise it would not be good if he scared you!"
After this little incident, the two of them played around for a while longer. An Qingran thought to herself that Dongfang Run might be watching over them in some secret place. She felt uncomfortable and went down the mountain quickly.
************
An Qingran finally returned to the general's mansion. Right in front of the door, her mother was waiting for her anxiously. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw her: "Qingran, come to my room immediately after you see your grandmother!"
Lian Jinyu's rare serious expression made An Qingran feel confused. What happened to her mother?
Did something happen?
When they arrived at Beiyuan, the old lady saw that her face was also uncertain: "Did your trip to Yuehua Temple go smoothly this time?"
"It was just a small incident, but luckily it's nothing serious!" An Qingran said with a smile.
She didn't want to cause trouble, and it would be better if no one knew about this.
Otherwise I don’t know how to pass it on.
Wouldn't it be possible that someone who makes groundless accusations like that would spread the rumor that she was robbed and humiliated?
The old lady didn't ask any further questions. She said kindly, "You are the smartest girl. Please don't get into trouble. It would make me feel disappointed..."
An Qingran didn't quite understand what she meant. Why did she make her feel so disappointed?
But she was too sleepy to think about it, and her mother was still waiting, so she nodded perfunctorily. The old lady sighed, "Go back and have a rest soon. It's hard for you to take on such a heavy responsibility at your age. I have been praying in front of the Buddha, wishing this family peace..."
An Qingran finally said goodbye to the old lady and went to the East Warm Pavilion. The maids were all very cautious, as if the mistress of the house was in a bad mood.
An Qingran hurried in: "Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lian Jinyu said with a straight face: "An Qingran, do you know you are wrong?"
That voice was very cold!
From childhood to adulthood, my mother has never said a single big word about me. What happened today?
An Qingran came closer in a daze: "Mother, what happened? What did I do wrong?"
"They also said that you were only away for three or four days, and the whole capital spread the news about you and the prince. They said that you were dating the prince under the guise of burning incense. Tell me, did you see the prince?"
"I saw it..." An Qingran's head was buzzing. Her mother's face looked like that, and she mentioned the prince again. It was obvious that she was really disappointed in her.
