Reborn Daughter of the Clan

Chapter 12
"Dong dong." There were two soft knocks on the door.

The man didn't lift his head, as if he knew who was coming from the knock on the door, and replied lightly: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a scent of fragrance floated into the room.

Liu Yan was wearing a lavender cotton-padded jacket, and came in with a bowl of steaming hot soup. She probably had a medium build, with delicate and beautiful features, and a bit of wildness.

"Of course, the weather is very cold, and today is the winter solstice, but you don't want to get together with everyone. I boiled a bowl of chicken soup for you. You should drink it while it's hot. Let's warm up."

While talking, Liu Yan put the chicken soup in her hand on the desk of the man, Prince Rong Zhao Ran, and looked at Zhao Ran tenderly.She is the daughter of Zhao Deyang's military adviser, and she and Zhao Ran are childhood sweethearts. She has a deep love for Zhao Ran and hopes to marry Zhao Ran as a concubine, but she can't understand Zhao Ran's heart. He can treat her very well and dote on her very much. But he never mentioned his marriage, and he didn't know whether he loved her or not.

Zhao Ran turned his gaze away from the map, and slowly closed the map. He didn't have much expression on his face, but responded indifferently: "I'm leaving for Beijing tomorrow, and I don't want everyone to be sad."

He was originally a garrison general in Tongzhou, with a military power of [-] in his hands, but the emperor was afraid of him, so he ordered him to return to Beijing for a long time. In order to find a lady of comparable family background as his concubine, he returned to Beijing to live for a long time.

Zhao Ran knew in his heart that the emperor deliberately transferred him away from the frontier fortress by taking advantage of his major events in his life to take back the military power in his hands.

The emperor understood even more in his heart that Zhao Deyang had fought all his life and had countless subordinates. Even if he transferred Zhao Ran back to the capital, Zhao Ran was still the young master in the hearts of the generals. The military power seemed to have left Zhao Ran, but in fact it was still in Zhao Ran's hands. hand.

So the emperor thought of using Zhao Ran's marriage to make a fuss, and arranged for a woman to restrain Zhao Ran.

"Well, then what should I do?" Liu Yan asked anxiously: "I don't want to separate from you, I want to go back to Beijing with you."

Zhao Ran looked at her lightly, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Of course." Without Zhao Ran's answer, Liu Yan became even more anxious. Zhao Ran's status is so noble, he is the only prince with a foreign surname in the Tianyun Dynasty, and he is treated like a king of the clan, and Zhao Ran is young and handsome. , if she doesn't follow Zhao Ran back to Beijing, what if Zhao Ran doesn't want her anymore, what will she do?
In this life, Liu Yan only loves Zhao Ran. Even if the emperor won't marry her to Zhao Ran, she still hopes to become Zhao Ran's side concubine, as long as she can marry Zhao Ran.

Kyoto is a place of wealth and wealth, and it is not that she can compare with the ladies from famous families. Her only capital is her childhood sweetheart with Zhao Ran.

Zhao Ran stood up, walked out of the desk, and stood in front of Liu Yan, his deep and cold eyes could not see through his real mood, he just lightly brought Liu Yan into his arms, and gently embraced her. , said lightly: "You, I will naturally bring them back to Beijing."

"Really?" Liu Yan immediately looked up at Zhao Ran happily.

Zhao Ran scratched her nose lightly, and said with a faint smile, "When did I ever lie to you?"

"Of course." Liu Yan rested her head in Zhao Ran's arms, and a slight blush appeared on her pretty face. Leaving Tongzhou, she was far away from her relatives. After returning to Beijing, the only person she could rely on was Zhao Ran. I hope Zhao Ran can give her an identity to be with him by then.

Zhao Ran lightly hugged Liu Yan, his lips were slightly bent, and a sneer appeared.

Not long after the old queen returned to the palace, the emperor also got up and drove back to the palace, leaving only the prince and other princes to accompany the ministers.

The concubines usually live in the deep palace, extremely lonely, and like to be lively, no one leaves the table first, even the queen empress is still sitting in the first place after the emperor drives back to the palace, graceful and luxurious, smiling coldly. Everyone, all the princes and ministers at the scene were headed by her son.

Nangong Linglong felt bored, so she quietly left the banquet and walked towards the imperial garden.

I don't know if God was dissatisfied with the excitement of the imperial banquet, or because he was jealous, it snowed again and the cold wind blew.

The palace lanterns were hung five steps apart, and the lights illuminated the entire imperial garden.Nangong Linglong was walking along the bluestone path slowly covered with snow, the branches on both sides of the road were already bare, the imperial garden in winter had no special features except for the snow scene, unlike spring, where it was full of spring scenery everywhere.

She walked onto an arch bridge. The river under the bridge had been frozen into a glacier by the heavy snow a few days ago. She couldn't see the clear river water, only white snow and ice. No one knew how thick the snow and ice were on the river. Know.Most people don't walk on glaciers, because they are afraid that if the ice and snow break through, they will fall into the river.

She climbed up the stairs, and when she walked a dozen or so steps, a girl wearing a thick fox fur walked up to her, followed by two maids, and the three master and servant probably also wandered in the imperial garden.After seeing Nangong Linglong, the girl immediately stopped in her tracks. A pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes stared at Nangong Linglong who also stopped in her tracks with softness and piercing cold.

Nangong Linglong knew her, she was Chen Qingtong, the niece of Empress Chen's natal family, and she was named Princess Qingtong.Nangong Linglong and her are both princesses, but Nangong Linglong is courteous to the same princess. Qingtong County Master has to greet her first when she sees her. For this reason, Qingtong County Master has always disliked Nangong Linglong, and always treats her every time they meet. Nangong Linglong sneered.

In the past, Nangong Linglong didn't know the good and evil of human nature, and didn't have much scheming. Even if she possessed world-defying martial arts, she was often punished by Chen Qingtong. Over time, Nangong Linglong and Princess Qingtong became enemies.

Chen Qingtong is the queen's niece. The queen has been in the back seat for decades, so she naturally has a deep scheming heart. Chen Qingtong has won the favor of the queen, and was appointed by the queen as the crown princess. Her scheming is even deeper.

"Su'er, do you think the snow in the river is thick? How about we go for a walk on the river?" Princess Qingtong looked at Nangong Linglong, but said to a maid behind her.

Nangong Linglong could hear that Princess Qingtong was mocking her for practicing light kung fu, playing crazy and falling into the river to catch the cold.She didn't answer, but looked back at Princess Qingtong coldly.

"Your Majesty must not, what if you fall into the river and catch the wind and cold? It's hard to suffer if you have a high fever." The maid named Su Er immediately echoed Qingtong's words.

Nangong Linglong didn't glared at Chen Qingtong as she did in the past, nor did she get furious. Listening to Chen Qingtong's master and servant making peace, she didn't react at all.

Seeing that Nangong Linglong didn't respond, Chen Qingtong's eyes were slightly disappointed, but she still had a gentle face and a shallow smile. In this cold winter, her smile was as gentle as the morning sun in spring.
