When the third prince came back from Henan, entered the palace, and answered his questions, what he saw at the door of the palace was Zhao Ruolan, who was dressed plainly and without even a trace of makeup. He only glanced at it, then turned over and dismounted, then strode inside, and Zhao Ruolan hurriedly followed. However, the third prince walked faster, and Zhao Ruolan was a bit short with short legs, so he chased him a little slower.
After finally entering the inner courtyard, the third prince was already sitting in the room.
As soon as Zhao Ruolan entered the door, she hurriedly gave orders, asking people to serve tea and food, prepare hot water, towels, and clean clothes and shoes. In short, the third prince was taken care of properly. After the third prince came out with his hair disheveled, Zhao Ruolan hurriedly stepped forward to wipe his hair. When the third prince blocked his hand with his hand, Zhao Ruolan looked a little disappointed and embarrassed: " Your Highness, are you still blaming me?"
Without waiting for the third prince to answer, Zhao Ruolan forced a smile: "I did something wrong, and it is right for His Highness to blame me. However, I must tell His Highness about my friendship, so as not to misunderstand that I am trying to gain glory and wealth. In my previous life, Your Highness saved my life. At that time, because of the affairs of the Gu family, I was like a rat crossing the street in the capital. I didn’t even dare to go out for fear of being caught and beaten. Once, there was no rice or noodles at home. , I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I went out. Unfortunately, when I was buying rice, I was recognized by someone. Someone said that Gu Zheng was a traitor to the country and that I was a bastard, so they took a stick to drive me away, and the stick hit me. My body was really hurting, and I couldn't hide away. Just when I was desperate, His Highness passed by and asked someone to stop the perpetrators. Then he asked the store owner to bring me rice noodles... Although His Highness may not remember, But I always remember this incident, and from then on,..."
She was a little embarrassed to continue talking, and only looked at the third prince lovingly.
The third prince said nothing at all, staring at the tea cup in his hand with his eyes lowered.
Zhao Ruolan couldn't continue. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said: "If Your Highness is not willing to listen, then forget it. Your Highness must be on the road and it's very hard. It's still early. Why don't you take a nap?"
The third prince didn't even raise his head, waved to her, stood up on his own, and walked to the study in front. Zhao Ruolan stood up and followed two steps, holding on to the door frame and watching the third prince walk away, her eyes were a little red. Shi Yun comforted her quietly from behind: "Princess, don't worry, the third prince is still willing to come back now, and he can still be with us Eating in the courtyard means that the Third Prince still has you in his heart, please take your time, the human heart is made of flesh, and it will be warmed one day."
Zhao Ruolan nodded, paused and said, "Do you think the third prince likes someone with Zhao Zhilan's temperament?"
Zhao Zhilan is lively, she is steady, Zhao Zhilan is smart, she is dignified, Zhao Zhilan is quirky, but she cannot laugh and talk like her, and talk cute and cute.
When she was first reborn, she never thought of learning from Zhao Zhilan in her previous life. But whenever she becomes more lively, Mrs. Zhao Li will say, as the eldest sister, you should be more stable and stop being so arrogant all the time. She wanted to be like Zhao Zhilan, act coquettishly and behave towards her parents, and be smarter, but even Yongyi Hou said that she should be more steady.
Later she discovered that imitating others was too tiring. In this case, it would be better to marry Zhao Zhilan to Gu Zheng, so that she would not stay at home and accidentally meet the third prince again and win his favor.
Even if the two are biological sisters, if the third prince likes her, there will be stories about Empress E and Nvying. In order to avoid future troubles, she plotted against Zhao Zhilan. Of course, this idea cannot be known to others. Jealousy is understandable, but calculating against your own sister for the slightest chance is really a bit too cruel.
Zhao Ruolan asked Shi Yun this question now, not to wait for Shi Yun's answer. She continued directly: "It doesn't matter, if he likes that kind of temper, I will just find more for him in the future. If he makes more noise, he may not know." You won’t like it.”
If one is smarter, that's cute and lively; if both are lively, that's noisy. Three or four of them are like this, that’s too unruly.
Everything is valuable because of its rarity, and if it is too much, it means nothing.
Zhao Ruolan had been busy all day to welcome the third prince. Now that the third prince was gone, she stopped holding on and went back to the house to rest.
The third prince still didn't come over at night, and Zhao Ruolan didn't care. She just found a Buddhist scripture and read it slowly. She had asked Shi Yun to clean up a room in the yard as a Buddhist temple, and now the Buddhist temple should be put to use. .
The next day, when the third prince went to court, Zhao Ruolan began to chant sutras and pray.
When the third prince came back at noon, she prepared meals very virtuously, helped him wash himself, brought water and fanned himself, and was attentive. After the third prince went to the study room in front, she went to pick up Buddha beans by herself and read scriptures as usual in the evening.
After five or six days of this, when the third prince came to have lunch again, Zhao Ruolan asked cautiously: "I know that His Highness hates me and does not want me to serve him, but His Highness's golden body cannot always be taken care of by no one. How about, Your Highness?" You also called Aunt Li over to serve you? If His Highness doesn’t like Aunt Li, then I’ll look back and see someone else?”
Aunt Li was talking about Lingling. Later she was promoted to aunt and her original surname was restored.
The third prince frowned, Zhao Ruolan pursed her lips, and reached out to hold the third prince's finger: "Your Highness, I am actually very jealous... I was afraid of hearing the news that you let others serve you... I know I was wrong, Your Highness forgive me. once?"
She knelt down along the third prince's legs, grasped the third prince's fingers with one hand, and supported the third prince's thigh with the other hand. She looked up at the third prince, with tears rolling down. The one crying was Lihua. With the rain, Chu Chu is pitiful.
Zhao Li said that men like to protect women in their bones. She is usually dignified. If she is very pitiful now, then the third prince will most likely feel some pity. After all, the third prince has never experienced anything in his previous life. All he knew was what he heard, like a storybook.
Men will miss Chang'e in the storybook and yearn for the fairy daughter in the love storybook, but when it comes to skin-to-skin intimacy and human happiness, the first thing to be recalled must be the people around them.
Folks say that between husband and wife, fights at the head of the bed end and fight at the end of the bed. This is not a rough word. Men themselves have such a habit. If you let him get a sweet spot in this kind of thing, then during this period, most of the time, he will respond to what you say.
Of course, because the third prince was concerned about something, it couldn't just be like this from the beginning. This seems a bit impatient and makes people think you are too immodest. Being reserved yet able to let go, this is what a man wants.
Zhao Ruolan had been preparing for several days. When she saw that the third prince was expressionless and did not frown, she turned her head slightly, put her cheek against the third prince's leg, and continued: "Your Highness, you used to like me very much. Right? Then can we pretend that nothing happened? Your Highness, just think that I had a nightmare and talk nonsense. I will never think about that nightmare again. We are fine as before, Your Highness? "
The third prince frowned, stretched out his hand to pinch Zhao Ruolan's chin, and stared at her face carefully.
In fact, he also found it quite strange. When he didn't know these things, he was very satisfied with Zhao Ruolan. Except for the previous incident where Zhao Ruolan encouraged him to take the lead, for the rest, he couldn't find any shortcomings in Zhao Ruolan.
Gentle and generous, dignified and virtuous, the housekeeper is well organized and the account books are very clear. Oh, I am a little cautious about Lingling, but it is understandable that if a man really thinks that his wife and concubines can live in harmony without fighting, then there must be something wrong with their brains and they are too stupid.
The fight between wives and concubines is never due to a man's favor. The third prince has clearly seen the intrigues in the harem these years - to put it bluntly, the fights between wives and concubines are still for interests, and all the interests represented by the men in the backyard, family property, rights, connections, and everything else .
Although Zhao Ruolan is a little cautious, she is quite decent in general, which is very satisfying to the third prince. He feels that he can work hard for his future and run errands without any worries, and then be valued by the emperor, whether it is power or money, he thinks Get rid of the control of the queen and her son in the future.
But after knowing that Zhao Ruolan had planned this marriage, and that his wife was supposed to be Zhao Zhilan, for some reason, an evil fire suddenly appeared in his heart, and this fire was running rampant in his body and in his heart.
He was also afraid that he would lose control and hurt Zhao Ruolan, so he hurriedly left the capital for Henan.
After an errand, he felt that he could control it, so he came back to visit Zhao Ruolan - he knew very well that in this life, unless Zhao Ruolan died, his princess could only be Zhao Ruolan. Since they are husband and wife, it is useless to think about anything else.
He planned to live a good life with Zhao Ruolan, and he was also waiting for Zhao Ruolan to bow his head and admit his mistake, so as not to deceive him about anything important in the future.
But Zhao Ruolan admitted that he was wrong. He should have just walked down the steps, but for some reason, when he saw this face, he still felt angry and resentful in his heart.
Zhao Ruolan didn't know what the third prince was thinking. She just felt that the third prince's attitude was loose. She should forgive her, right? Feeling overjoyed, she leaned against the third prince's chest and said, "Your Highness..."
Before he finished speaking, the third prince bent down and picked up Zhao Ruolan and ran straight to the inner room. Shi Yun winked and quickly waved to the maids and mothers in the room. They all bowed their heads and bent down quietly and orderly, and quickly left. After exiting the room, Shi Yun, who was left behind, thoughtfully closed the door for Zhao Ruolan. She happened to see the third prince reaching out and pulling the handkerchief, covering Zhao Ruolan's face.
