Chapter 38(1/2)
Li Ran returned to Cuiweiju, and as usual, she took a shower slowly, tucked her head, and after reading half a book, she went to bed.
Lying on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep quickly as usual.
The blunt pain in the wrist, and when I threw those dishes, I used too much force, as if I had pulled my muscles.
Compared to her former solidity, this body is too delicate.
Li Ran put her wrist outside the quilt and looked at a ball of bright white window.
The window was newly replaced with silver-red gauze and a few very beautiful lanterns in the corridor, which made the bright whiteness on the window less chill.
Li Ran looked at the window without any focus, thinking about what happened this afternoon.
Today, is this one suddenly appearing, or is it a test to build a line? Or are there both?
Zhou E seemed very surprised. She sat steadily, waiting to see if she would respond to the test and whether she would reply to the question?
Could it be that the emperor and the prince, who are said to be extremely wise, really think that they will be thinking about some bloodline and want the glory of the princess?
Daliang is gone. After the dynasty changes, the swelling of the old dynasty has always been a sad joke.
Since the emperor said that he was smart, why would he think he could be a moth to fight the fire?
It is probably because the person holding imperial power is too conscious of the temptation of that power.
But she never had any power. She had struggled alone for many years, and what she wanted was a peaceful life. Like now, she had already satisfied the silver gauze on the windows and the bright red lanterns under the corridor.

Yanfu Palace.
The emperor leaned against the pillow, his head slightly tilted back, his face full of sadness, for a long time, sighed, "Look at how she lived this life, I am so envious!"
Chang'an Hou Li Mingshui stood in front of the kang with his hands hanging down, with no expression on his face.
The prince, who was sitting sideways opposite the emperor, slapped on a thick stack of memorials.
"Dad is just talking. Look at this little girl, how good is to have fun..."
Looking at the prince's frown, the emperor sat upright with a dry smile on his face.
"You should discuss the serious business and talk about the serious business. You should discuss it with Wang Xiang and the others in southern Shaanxi. Tell Xie Ling that you have to squeeze out some money and food anyway. My dad is old and you have to worry about government affairs."
"Dad, are you still far from 60?" the prince leaned forward and asked at his father.
"It's so different, it's been a few years. Let's not talk about this anymore. When my father was young, he was injured everywhere. You don't know, don't talk about this or this.
If you take these, you are young and look at them at a glance, and you can see them quickly. When my dad got up this morning, his head started to hurt."
The emperor ordered a stack of folds on the kang table, then raised his hand and pressed it on his head, looking in pain.
The prince slanted him, and for a moment, he took more than half of the note and put it in front of him, "That little girl only lives today and doesn't want tomorrow. Can this freedom be envied?"
"That's right, my father just said it casually." The emperor took a few more notes and put them on the stack at the prince's hand.
The prince just pretended not to see it, turned to look at Li Mingshui and said, "This little girl took the lead and didn't even leave a word. This is her attitude."
"Yes, yes, this little girl is very smart. Who did she tell me? Is there someone to look at her?" The emperor looked up at Xie Ze, who was standing behind the prince, and asked.
"The Sixth Lady of the Wang Family."
"Yes, yes, yes, that granddaughter of Wang Xiang." The emperor turned around and looked at Li Mingshui, tsk, "Look, what a smart little girl, your prince is right, she knows everything. This is her attitude. This little girl is really smarter than you."
"Record her into your Li family tree. It seems that compared with that bloodline, she is still willing to be a girl from the Li family. You have to let her know her attitude, you have seen it." The prince looked at Li Mingshui.
"Yes." Li Mingshui should be lying.
"She is a poor person. Don't dare to stretch out your hand when she can pull it." The prince looked at Li Mingshui and continued.
"Yes." Li Mingshui bowed again to promise.

The day before the Kitchen God Festival, the club performance competition came to an end. The three club performance teams ranked in the top three were extremely excited to dance together in the open space in front of Yingxiang Pool. The dance was so exciting that Li Ran slapped both of her hands red.
Since the next day, Li Ran has not gone out again.
Because major opera troupes, as well as those who sing songs and sing songs and other works, they sealed boxes from the day of the Kitchen God and were sealed until New Year's Eve and unboxing again on the first day of the New Year.
According to the tea shop's trash, like a cow and horse throughout the year, you have to rest for a few days. Besides, you must also be fully prepared and earn some money in the first lunar month. If you have good luck, you can earn half a year of money to support your family in one lunar month.
The opera troupe and other things were sealed, so Li Ran had nothing to look good and good at, so of course she wouldn't go out.
Besides, she was tired, and as she told me, she had to take a break and keep her spirits up so that she could take a look at the fun and spectacular things that made the idle people in the capital relish during the year.
Li Ran was nestled on the kang, looking at the book leisurely.
Cuiweiju is much livable now than before.
The plate of bergamot has been replaced with daffodils. Li Ran likes the fragrance of daffodils very much, which spreads in the warm room, giving people a illusion of quiet time.
It was replaced by a delicate silver-red window. When there was sunshine, the whole window was full of warmth. At night, or when it was cloudy and snowy, the moonlight shone on the window, and the silver-red color was set on it, and there was a hint of warmth, and it was no longer a cold white.
It seems that curtains and other things have been replaced with new ones.
There are many beautiful things placed on the Baibao, which separates the bedroom from the outside.
On the long desk under the window on the other side, a bottle of green plum was placed, a pen holder, a pen wash, an arm rest, etc., and the bookshelf against the north wall was half full, and the new books she bought were placed.
Now, this is a very comfortable house.
Li Ran was lying on the kang and read her new book happily.
She has bought these new books yet, but she hasn't finished reading them yet. She is so busy!
………………………………………
On the other side of the mansion, the second grandmother Cao looked worried and walked with the wet nurse, Madam Yuan, while talking softly.
"The grandmother is really, why did she bring the things again? She gave the box last time. The next day, I saw that the old lady and the wife were not very happy. I didn't ask you to tell her, why did she bring these things again!"
The second grandmother Cao glanced at the carrying box in Madam Yuan's hand in annoyed manner.
"Last time I told our ancestors that because of the box, the old lady and the wife in the mansion seemed not very happy. I think what our ancestors said makes more sense.
The old lady and the wife were unhappy, and no one would be happy about this matter.
But our ancestors beat people to see the third lady and gave it to the third lady a bunch of things. How could we skip the girl without a trace? No matter how little it is, it must be so good to live up to the face.
No matter what, now, there are two girls in our mansion. This is something that the emperor and the prince both talk, and no one can erase it.
Because the girl, the old lady and the wife were unhappy about this matter, and it was like this when it came to everyone, and everyone in each family was very sympathetic.
But no matter how unhappy this is unhappy, even if you can't suppress it, you can't let this unhappy be like this, right?
These family homes come and go to our houses and greet the third lady. What should I do with that girl?
Is it because the old lady and her wife are displeased, and it is better to follow the rules no matter how unhappy the old lady and her wife are unhappy?
There is also a marquis in our mansion, and that girl means the emperor and the prince.
It would be fine if the old lady and her wife were unhappy in our mansion. Could it be that the whole capital could still treat the girl like they did?
I don't care, right?"
Madam Yuan went back last time under the instructions of her second grandma, but the old lady didn't say anything, but Madam Yang taught her a lesson.
After she came back, she thought about it carefully for several days, and she thought clearly and clearly: Madam Yang taught her a lesson right, she was confused before.
"That's right, it's right." The second grandma Cao's voice fell, but she was still worried. "But I was stuck in the middle, looking at people's faces during the Chinese New Year, I was so annoyed."
"Don't worry, the old lady and the wife in our house have a straightforward temper, and they are reasonable or reasonable. They will not blame the mistress for being a mistress.
The former son Zhongyong's mansion hit people up to our mansion and gave the third lady a lot of things. Didn't he also give the girl a few lucky oranges?
This is when the big grandma is not in the mansion. If the big grandma is there, wouldn’t it have to send that thing over there?"
Madam Yuan thought about the rotten Fuju and pulled the corners of her mouth down.
"It's true. The old lady just saw those lucky oranges rotting into water, and she just didn't hit anyone and sent them to the girl, hey.
Second grandma thought about it, if this was sent by our Cao family and delivered to the old lady, Second grandma would greet her every day, and what she came in and out was to see that the thing was rotten like water, or would you take it to the place?"
"Then let's send it over. Those lucky oranges are nothing to do with me. I looked back and felt embarrassed."
The second grandma Cao sighed without finishing a word.
"Forget it, I won't complain. This matter is difficult. First, I am not alone, and second, I am not the most difficult one."
"The most difficult thing is our wife, alas." Madam Yuan thought of Mrs. Zhang and sighed, "I heard that I am going to open a ancestral hall and enter the family tree?"
"Yeah." The second grandma Cao subconsciously glanced around, "I happened to be next to you. The Marquis said that it was the prince's meaning. In the last time, Sanlang came back with her, and she would have had a meal and then came back together. I heard that it was the prince's meaning, this matter..."
Second grandma Cao laughed dryly, but she didn't say anything afterwards.
"That girl is so crazy every day. Speaking of this, I heard from Madam Yang that our ancestors praised that girl, saying that her ancestors said that among the little ladies she had met, that girl was a top girl.
Listen to this, I really haven't heard our ancestors praise him so much."
Madam Yuan tsk her mouth and heard Madam Yang say this, her eyes widened in surprise. You know, their ancestors are not ordinary people.
"The grandmother has always liked powerful people. The third sister and the fourth sister are so good-natured that the grandmother doesn't like her very much. If that girl doesn't say anything else, she will be very powerful, and she can be hard-working."
"Yes, our ancestors dislike the word "weakness" the most."
