An Qingran came out. Dongfang Jin knew what was going on and looked at her inquiringly. An Qingran said, "Nothing happened. The world is peaceful."
Dongfang Jin sighed: "General An's character is beyond reproach. He treats a woman like his mother. That's respectable."
"General An?" An Qingran looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Father-in-law, yes, father-in-law." Dongfang Jin hurriedly apologized with a smile.
An Qingran pursed her lips and smiled. An Mingchen was about to put Dongfang Jin's sleeve into his mouth, but was stopped by An Qingran. He hugged Dongfang Jin, as if someone was backing him up, and took another bite.
Dongfang Jin smiled: "Why don't you call me brother-in-law?"
"Sister..." An Mingchen's attitude was good. Although he didn't call her that, he would return a word when she said that.
Dongfang Jin shook his head helplessly.
This time when they returned home, Dongfang Jin and An Qingran were newly married, which made many people envious.
Among them, besides An Yanran, there was An Ranyue. She also went to the wedding, but in the blink of an eye, An Yanran disappeared in the palace. She looked everywhere, and finally after a long time, she came out from a path by herself, adjusting her clothes as she walked. At first she thought she was going to change clothes, but not long after, Dongfang Ye also came out from the path. This made her have a bad thought in her mind, did the two of them take the opportunity to get together?
She asked her a few questions indirectly, but she knew there was something wrong, so she didn't get to the point.
An Ranyue couldn't help but worry about her own fate. Then, seeing An Qingran and the prince being so in harmony with each other, and the prince being so easy-going, with his eyes always following her and no one else in his eyes, she felt unhappy.
Shen Zhiyun returned to his courtyard in high spirits. Fang came out and asked, "How was it? What did you talk about with the Crown Princess?"
"It's just something ordinary girls talk about." Shen Zhiyun's eyes were still filled with excitement.
In fact, they said very little.
Fang leaned closer to her and whispered, "How does the Crown Princess treat you?"
"That's great. Why do you ask? Hasn't our relationship always been good?" Shen Zhiyun said with a little pride.
"Did she tell me what she thinks of us?" Fang finally asked out of concern.
Shen Zhiyun sighed: "We don't have time to talk about this, but the Crown Princess is very generous, she won't bear grudges, don't worry, she and I have such a good relationship, she won't care about what you did in the past."
Fang was still worried, but there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, it seems that An Qingran will not make things difficult for them. She hated herself for being so blind. Who would have thought that she would be favored by the prince.
An Qingran finally finished her meal and went back to the palace. She got on the car, and everyone still knelt there to see her off. She exempted them from the formalities, but her parents still observed the etiquette. According to them, the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects could not be abolished, and the prince would eventually become the ruler of a country. If they took the lead in not observing etiquette, others would be watching.
An Qingran took one last look at the General's Mansion. She knew that after this visit, she would never know when she would be able to come back again. She also knew that some people in the General's Mansion hated her, and some were afraid of her. No matter what, in this life, she would always protect the people she cared about...
On the way back, the prince held her in his arms. An Qingran was unusually quiet, and the prince did not speak either. However, there was a silent affection flowing between the two of them, as if they were communicating silently. The feeling that surged in their hearts at the same time was called happiness...
************
Inside the palace.
The palace servants have been busy again these days because the Queen Mother will be returning to the palace soon.
An Qingran was a little scared of Empress Dowager Murong because of her surname.
She knew she should be more careful.
In the palace, the prince didn't care about the eyes of those people at all, and was intimate with her without avoiding others. She reminded the prince to pay attention to the impact, but Dongfang Jin was in high spirits and didn't think about these things. He wished he could stick with An Qingran every day.
Concubine Shu walked in the garden with a trace of disdain on her face. She heard from the palace maids that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess always liked to come here to play, and she wanted to see if they had any immoral behavior. If so, that would be in her eyes, and she would have to find a way to let everyone know their behavior.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of laughter into my ears.
It was An Qingran.
She was very familiar with her voice.
The maid stepped forward quietly and said, "Shu Guifei, I saw the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess swinging over there. Should we go over there?"
Concubine Shu nodded slightly, and the group walked towards the garden. Dongfang Jin and An Qingran had no idea that Concubine Shu was here. An Qingran swung higher and higher. She was a little scared, so she screamed loudly. She wanted to jump down, but Dongfang Jin teased her, and she swayed and almost fell down. How could Dongfang Jin let her fall? He had been protecting her all along, and when he saw this, he hugged her. An Qingran fell in front of him and punched him twice with her pink fist: "You are annoying!"
Dongfang Jin looked at her with a smile in his eyes, but also a hint of regret. It turned out that she was really scared.
An Qingran was not afraid. Her kung fu was enough for her to deal with more dangerous situations. She just didn't want Dongfang Jin to think that she was a fearless woman. Sometimes, she should show weakness and satisfy his desire for protection.
An Qingran has experienced a lot in life. He cannot be said to be shrewd, but he is definitely smart.
cough.
Concubine Shu coughed.
The two people hurriedly separated. Dongfang Jin did not change color. An Qingran was shocked when she saw Concubine Shu's serious look. Why did she feel that the person she came with was not friendly?
An Qingran hurriedly bowed to greet him. Dongfang Jin was still the same, but he greeted him according to etiquette. Concubine Shu smiled and said, "He is really a child. He is married, but he still has a playful attitude. That's great."
She had a smile on her face.
An Qingran just smiled, not knowing what to say.
Dongfang Jin smiled calmly: "Thank you for your concern, my lady..."
"Oh, it's my duty to care about you, but you can have fun but you must also pay attention to safety." Concubine Shu said, turned around and left, neither hurried nor slow.
After they walked away, An Qingran looked at Dongfang Jin: "What did she mean just now? We should have walked around it or pretended we didn't see anything. Was she warning us?"
Dongfang Jin put his arm around her shoulders: "I'm here."
"It seems that we shouldn't act like this in the palace in the future..." An Qingran said dimly.
Dongfang Jin didn't say anything, but just looked in the direction where Concubine Shu left, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Empress Dowager Murong returned to the palace.
Palace banquet.
This was the first time that An Qingran met Empress Dowager Murong, of course, in this life.
Dongfang Jin and An Qingran knelt down to serve her tea. Queen Mother Murong had a kind smile on her face and looked at An Qingran: "I'll drink this tea. You will become the daughter-in-law of our Dongze. In the future, you will be a good wife to my granddaughter-in-law. After that, you will be the queen of Dongze, queen mother..."
At first glance, An Qingran saw that she was a kind old lady. She just smiled and agreed: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me..."
"Silly child, what should you call me?" The prince said with a smile, "You should call me Grandmother."
An Qingran quickly changed her words, saying that she was indeed confused. The Queen Mother Murong had a kind smile on her face and didn't seem to mind.
Empress Yun and Emperor Yun Qi sat beside the Empress Dowager, looking at the young couple with smiles on their faces. Everything seemed so harmonious and warm.
Because all the royal family members had arrived and were paying their respects to the empress dowager one by one, Dongfang Jin and An Qingran stood up and sat in their seats. An Qingran looked at the empress dowagers who were paying their respects and felt something strange in her heart. Why didn't she feel that this empress dowager was extraordinary in her previous life? The look in her eyes made people feel that she was extraordinary. The words she said just now sounded like she loved the younger generation very much, but what was wrong?
Maybe I'm too sensitive?
Maybe it’s because I didn’t know her well enough in my previous life.
But I just felt uncomfortable all over. How could a woman who had been immersed in the palace for many years be so kind and simple? If she was really so simple, would she have survived in this palace and become the queen mother?
In her previous life, she did not object to Dongfang Ye's seizure of the throne, so no one knew what role she played.
But soon, she stopped thinking about it, because many people came to see the Queen Mother, everyone was laughing and talking, and it was a scene of prosperity and dance.
An Qingran stayed quietly in her seat. She didn't want to attract anyone's attention.
Dongfang Jin whispered, "Grandmother doesn't like crowds, so it's best if we keep quiet."
An Qingran nodded obediently.
She knew it even if he didn't say it. In her previous life, this old lady was very mysterious.
An Qingran hadn't figured out how to deal with the old lady yet. She just hoped that she wouldn't notice her. She had just picked up a bite of food with her chopsticks when she had a strange feeling. She looked up and saw a gaze that quickly dodged away, but she still caught it. An Qingran knew her. When the empress dowager returned to the palace, Dongfang Jin told her that the one who went to Mount Wutai with the empress dowager to eat vegetarian food was Princess Lanxin, the daughter of the Murong family, and a half-sister of Murong Shu. Princess Lanxin was born to Murong's concubine, so she was a bastard. Logically, she could not be compared with Murong Shu. It was just that she saved the empress dowager's life three years ago, and since then she has been extraordinary. Her deceased mother was also promoted to a co-wife, and her status is no longer a bastard, but there is no way. She doesn't want to remember, but other people will not forget, but they just don't dare to say it in front of her.
An Qingran didn't understand why Lan Xin paid attention to her?
It stands to reason that she is interested in me since she has never seen me. What's more, I am wearing a veil now, so she must be curious about what the ugly face looks like underneath. In fact, she can take it off now. The scar is only a little bit left to heal. If she uses rouge, it can be easily covered. But she thinks it is better to wait a little longer. Anyway, everyone is used to this look.
