King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 231 What is security (5)
"Bah! What kind of soup is this?! Why is it so bitter?!"

Everyone sitting around the table picked up the exquisite small soup bowls in front of them, and took a sip of the hot soup that An Ran had just poured for them.

However, just a few seconds after I drank it into my mouth, I immediately couldn't stand it and threw it aside!
The empress dowager finished spitting out the bitter-tasting soup in her mouth, she made a dissatisfied face, and said in a rather stern tone.

Although the rest of the people did not have the violent reaction of the empress dowager, they all chose to remain silent.

Silence at this time naturally represents approval.

An Ran's heart "thumped", and quickly fell to the bottom, and immediately panicked.

However, her reason told her that she couldn't panic at this time.

Suppressing the panic and helplessness in his heart, An Ran said, "What's wrong with this soup?"

An An continued to watch what was happening in front of her eyes, and continued to laugh without saying a word.

Leng Yuechen, who was sitting next to An An, was even more surprised at the moment. When she stopped drinking the bowl of hot soup in front of her just now, he felt a little strange. Didn't he say that he was hungry?
How come there is hot soup in front of you, but you are indifferent?

Because of a strange feeling in his heart, just now when everyone picked up the hot soup in front of them and drank it, only An An and Leng Yuechen did not move at all.

Still sitting in place as firmly as Mount Tai.

Naturally, he was also spared a "difficulty".

"What's the problem? Don't you have a point in your heart for the soup you made yourself?!"

Hearing An Ran's bewildered words, the Empress Dowager felt that her whole body was surrounded by a burst of evil fire, and her voice rose a little again, her dissatisfaction became more obvious.

An Ming was on the wooden table behind them, watching the situation here all the time.

Seeing the empress dowager's tone, if not for his strong concentration, he would have stood up and begged for An Ran's mercy.

Isn't that girl An Ran very clever and well-behaved? !
How could it be that at such a critical time, I didn't know how to observe the empress dowager's eyes? !
Across a table, he quickly gave An Ran a reminding wink, implying that she should admit her mistake properly.

The empress dowager is right in everything she says, and she must not go head-to-head with the empress dowager, as the only one who suffers in that way is herself!
"Empress Dowager, please calm down, I have only just learned how to cook, so... I will try it myself, what is wrong..."

Perhaps because he felt the warning from An Ming, An Ran's original aura was restrained a lot in an instant, and An An, who was watching from the side, couldn't help being slightly speechless.

Awesome, the ability to just take what you say.

Naturally, An An didn't miss the warning An Ming gave An Ran just now.

I couldn't help complaining in my heart, they are really father and daughter, look, An Ran can understand An Ming's meaning with just one look, it really makes her feel a little uncomfortable!
Tsk tsk, this difference...

An Ran gracefully poured himself a bowl of soup, and then continued to take a sip gracefully. Why a sip?Then there is no need to ask?
Of course it is to continue to maintain her elegant posture!

Have you ever seen a delicate young woman, holding a soup bowl in her hand, like a cow drinking water, gulping down a big gulp? !
Those who seem to be bandits and the like will prefer to do things!

An Ran's complexion changed slightly, the facial muscles of a small face tightened uncontrollably, and her small face was a bit ugly.

On the other hand, An'an's delicate little face was a little ecstatic.

Hey, I finally waited for such a wonderful scene!
Deep in An'an's heart at this moment, she secretly sneered...

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, the atmosphere became more and more subtle, to the point that many people didn't even dare to make a sound.

"Empress dowager, forgive me, my daughter is probably too young and ignorant, so she willfully wanted to show her skills to please you. I don't know, the cooking skills are too shallow, so I did something bad with good intentions. Please The queen mother is lenient and will spare her this time."

An Ming couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up immediately, and said to the empress dowager with a serious face and an ugly face.

An An's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and she unconsciously felt a very sour feeling in her eye sockets. This feeling came too suddenly, and she was a little at a loss...

Blinking her slightly sore eye sockets, An An bit her lip.

what happened? !

This is obviously not her own emotions and feelings, but why, she would make fun and feel so uncomfortable, so...sad?
"An'er? What's wrong with you?"

Leng Yuechen moved closer to An An's side, lowered her voice, and asked.

"Ah... nothing."

Leng Yuechen's sudden voice woke An An up, and it also made An An break free from the strong negative emotions. She felt as if a very heavy boulder was suddenly pressed on her chest just now, which made her feel uncomfortable. out of breath...

A few images flashed through my mind quickly, so strange, so familiar, so...

Why is she so sad?so sad?
When the images in his head dissipated little by little, An An, who had calmed down, looked at An Ming's side face, and a complicated expression gradually began to emerge in his originally clear eyes.

An An felt that her right hand was clenched by a pair of gentle and firm palms. When she turned her head, she happened to see Leng Yuechen's deep eyes shining like stars, as if silently comforting her, telling her—— Whatever happened, it was him.He said that he would always protect her, so he would never break his promise.

It would be a lie to say that she is not moved, An An admits that looking at such a different Leng Yuechen, her heart can't help but sink even more, with a little bit of warmth flowing...

In order to change the subject, An An blinked her eyes, forced back the wet tears in her eyes, and bit her ear with Leng Yuechen openly.

"Do you know why this soup is bitter?"

An An deliberately said something mysterious, which made Leng Yuechen a little curious.

"Why? Ann knows?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

At that moment just now, An An's whole body exuded a strong sense of mourning. That kind of breath was not in line with her previous style, and he was not used to it.

Without thinking too much, Leng Yuechen subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold An An's little hand, giving her support and encouragement. Although he didn't know the reason, he just wanted to tell her that at any time, she would never be a People, because, and him.

Seeing that An An was still in the mood to joke with her at this moment, Leng Yuechen knew that she had recovered.So, following her voice, she asked aloud.

"Of course I know!"

"Why is that?"

"Because a lot of bitter gourd juice is added to the soup, and the sweetness of the soup itself is mixed together. If it is properly prepared, it will be a bowl of unique and delicious soup. But if it is prepared properly If it is not in place, or if the time is not well controlled, then..."

"Will it be very bitter?"

"Correct!"

An An nodded and said, looking at Leng Yuechen with "You are very smart" eyes, making Leng Yuechen's forehead unable to resist dripping a few drops of bean-sized cold sweat.

The behavior of the two people biting their ears was seen by others as flirting, so no one would pay attention to what they were talking about.

"Okay, I think that Miss An Ran definitely didn't do this on purpose, please calm down, Grandmother. I'll go back to the palace later, and I'll just ask the cook to make more delicious soup and send it over. Don't bother with the younger generation." .”

Leng Yuemu looked at the increasingly awkward atmosphere and opened her mouth to smooth things over.

"Since this is the case, forget it. However, Aijia still has something to say, and I have to say it. What kind of thing is this? If you don't know how to do it, or if the technology is not in place, then don't come out and try your best. In this way, it will not only harm Others, very likely, will also harm yourself. Also, as a daughter's family, you shouldn't need Ai's family to teach you what is the word 'safety'?!"

The empress dowager considered An Ming's status in the court of the Yue Kingdom, and thought over and over again. This matter can only be sold to An Ming as a favor, and she can only choose to forget it.

However, she was still very dissatisfied looking at An Ran, and in the morning, she also inevitably heard some gossip.

Therefore, without saying a few words, it was really difficult for her to calm down the resentment and anger in her heart.

"Yes, I know. Not in the future."

An Ran bit her lip again, lowered her head slightly, and nodded in response.

Of course, the Empress Dowager understood what she meant by such meaningful words.

"That's all! You go to that table!"

The empress dowager waved to An Ran, glanced at the wooden table where An Ming was, and said to her.

A trace of resentment flashed quickly in An Ran's lowered eyes, but his attitude was still low-browed and obedient.

"Thank you, the emperor, and thank you, the empress dowager."

An Ming saluted them respectfully without looking at An An, and then led An Ran back to the table.

A sharp gleam flashed in An An's eyes, and she seemed... She seemed to be remembering something terrible.

Could it be that she was too ignorant before, that's why her dear father dared to treat her like this? !
Oh, yes!

She, who knew nothing before, was indeed a little ignorant, but now——An Ming, her dear father, does she have some debts? It should be time for her to settle, settle with him? !
Lilac behind An An looked at An Ran's back, with an unknown light shining in her eyes, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

And An Ming probably doesn't know at this time, all the things and plans he thought he was in control of have begun to deviate from the original track a little bit...

After the group had finished their breakfast, they boarded the carriage again and drove towards the royal enclosure.

Perhaps because of something on her mind, An An didn't make a fuss like before. She just lowered her eyes and sat quietly in a place in the carriage along the way, looking at the bouncing curtains, immersed in her own thoughts Inextricable.

No one knew what she was thinking of, and there would be such a big change. Only An An knew that this hunting trip was not simple.

An An even knew that there would be a lot of casualties in this hunting trip, even herself!

An An glanced at Leng Yuechen, who was resting with her eyes closed, a little hesitant to speak, she wanted to explain everything to him, but she was afraid that after she said it, she would lose him completely!
You know, even if it has nothing to do with her, but as one of the parties involved in the original source, she can't get away with it, right? !

When he knows the truth of everything, will he still treat her as before?

Can the promised "always protect" her be fulfilled?

An An found that her heart was getting more and more confused and uneasy...
