Chapter 413 Someone from the Palace! Seeking the Moon
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived, including Xiao Ran's friends in the capital.
The Tianlao, which originally seemed deserted, was now bustling with activity.
Shi Ming, Zheng Qing, Xiao Zhou, Qian Xuan, Shen Yiming and Taoist Xuanyang, etc.
"Brother Xiao (Xiao Ran)!" everyone shouted.
Except for Shen Yiming and Taoist Master Xuanyang, who were called by their first names, everyone else was called brother.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
He was also very happy to see these brothers again.
Everyone greeted Jian Twelve again, and Jian Twelve responded.
"Have the arrangements been made?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Yeah." Xiao Zhou responded.
"When Sister Yan learned that you were back, she cooked in person and prepared a large table of dishes for us to come over."
"Are you going?" Xiao Ran looked at Jian Twelve.
"Forget it!" Jian Twelve shook his head.
If it was just an ordinary restaurant, it would be okay for him to go there and have a drink, but Zuixianyuan is not an ordinary place. There are really too many good-looking girls there.
He is about to marry Princess Qingning. If someone is pointing fingers behind his back at this juncture, although he is not afraid, it will also be very bad for Princess Qingning's reputation.
"Go on." Xiao Ran handed over two jars of Dutianzui, a hundred-thousand-year-old immortal brew, and ten thousand-year-old red jujubes.
A group of people left the prison.
Walking on the streets, the official positions are not low. After these days of development, everyone is in a high position. Even Xiao Zhou became the Purple Sword Guard under Shen Yiming's deliberate promotion.
Looking at Qian Xuan.
Xiao Ran asked: "How did the Ministry of War arrange it?"
Before he was rescued, he was a general in Huang County. Now that he appeared in the capital and stayed for such a long time, his position had obviously been transferred.
"In the Battle of Huangxian County, I have made a meritorious service. Although I cannot compare with you, Brother Xiao, I am not insignificant. In addition, Mr. Gu helped me, and I am now on duty at the Ministry of War." Qian Xuan explained.
"Why are you so polite, brother?" Gu Qiuhe raised his chin proudly.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
Look at Zheng Qing again.
Facing Xiao Ran's gaze, Zheng Qing sighed helplessly: "I also want to stay in the capital, but the court does not agree. I will be promoted to two ranks. After I get married, I will return to Huang County to be on duty."
Xiao Ran patted his shoulder and said nothing.
Wait until we arrive at Zuixianyuan.
Xiao Ran has figured out their recent situation. Generally speaking, they are doing well. Their cultivation has improved and they have been promoted. He is happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
He also briefly talked about his situation outside these days.
After listening.
Everyone was sighing and sweating for him.
Arrive at Zuixianyuan.
Sister Yan was waiting at the door. When she saw Xiao Ran and the others coming, she hurried up to greet them, "You're back!"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran smiled.
"The wine and food are ready." Sister Yan greeted warmly.
After entering, we stopped in a luxurious room in the backyard.
Nuo Da's room became lively as they came over.
All kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were brought out one after another, one after another, filling the table.
This time I didn’t ask any girl to accompany me. Many of the people present were about to get married. It would be really fun to make a joke at this time.
The door is closed.
Xiao Ran took out two jars of 100,000-year-old immortal wine and made Dutian drunk. Zhang Yu was responsible for pouring the wine.
Smelling the rich aroma of wine, everyone was amazed and drank three bowls in a row. After Xiao Ran explained, they felt relieved.
Then he asked: "Are you all ready?"
"Yeah." Shi Ming nodded.
"I, Xiao Zhou, Zheng Qing, Qian Xuan, Jian Twelve, including Yang Pingan, have already discussed that we will get married together on Eleven."
Everyone present except Xiao Ran.
Only Shen Yiming, Taoist Master Xuanyang and Lao Bai were left, and Gu Qiuhe was still alone.
Several people were embarrassed for a while, but Taoist Master Xuanyang didn't blush at all. He lived a very carefree life during this period and often drank here in Zuixianyuan.
Furthermore.
He is already old, and he has already looked away from this matter between men and women, but it is just this matter, it is not a big deal.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran responded.
Chatted for a while.
Then they drank directly, and all the words were in the wine. Even though they had an amazing amount of alcohol, they were drunk in the face of a hundred thousand years of immortal brew. In the end, one after another got drunk and fell on the table.
Only Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming were left.
Ask Sister Yan to arrange for people to send them all back so that they are the only ones left in the room.
"Compared to last time, you are even more profound. I find that I can't see through you anymore." Shen Yiming sighed.
"Just so so!" Xiao Ran shrugged.
Looking confused.
Looking at him suspiciously, logically speaking, Shen Yiming is not bad in appearance, holds a high position, and is a member of the Shen family. Why is he still single after such a long time?
Seemingly guessing Xiao Ran's inner thoughts, Shen Yiming smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want to? During the time you left, I already had two conversations, but it's hard to finish them in one sentence!"
After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, I bitterly recounted my two love experiences.
After listening.
Xiao Ran was speechless for a while. He devoted himself wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect that the woman was hiding her love. Either Shou Gongsha was not there, or she was doing the same thing in front of him and behind his back, which severely hurt his heart, so he stayed single.
Pat him on the shoulder.
Xiao Ran encouraged: "Don't be discouraged, as long as you don't give up! One day, you will meet true love again, just like Xiao Zhou."
Thinking of Xiao Zhou’s love process.
Both of them laughed. Before they met Sister Yan, he was a miserable woman. She was either a female ghost, the daughter of a criminal, or a demon. Even his love with Sister Yan was opposed by his family at first.
But with their help, I finally passed the test.
"Are Zhou Tongyuan and the others back?" Xiao Ran asked.
Zhou Tongyuan is Xiao Zhou's father.
"Not yet." Shen Yiming shook his head.
"I don't know what they are thinking. They have obviously agreed and will get married soon. If they don't come back to host the wedding, won't it make Xiao Zhou and Sister Yan regretful?"
"Probably not!" Xiao Ran shook his head.
"Zhou Tongyuan is not such a person. Besides, if he doesn't come back, Shen Ning will force him to come back. He should be back before dark tomorrow."
"I hope so!" Shen Yiming nodded.
Taking the wine jar, he poured a bowl for Xiao Ran.
The two of them touched each other, drank the wine in the bowl, and ate a few peanuts.
Shen Yiming asked: "What are your plans?"
Very few people know about the eldest princess. Only Jian Twelve and Princess Qingning, Shen Yiming and others don't know yet. At most, they think Xiao Ran is the eldest princess's wife and won't think about it in that direction because of the difference. It's really too big.
He was referring to Zi'er.
Xiao Ran did not hide anything about Zi'er. Moreover, when he came back this time, it had already been made public. As long as someone who is interested can do a little investigation, they will find out.
"I have my own arrangements." Xiao Ran said.
On the eleventh day, he will give an explanation to Zi'er and the eldest princess.
"Where's Lingqing'er?"
"We are already married." Xiao Ran said.
He briefly told the story of their marriage. It was back in her hometown, and her parents were there at that time, but very few people knew about it. No one except the person involved knew about it.
Furthermore.
Xiao Ran and the others did not deliberately publicize it. Although everyone knew that their relationship was unusual, they did not think about getting married.
"You are awesome!" Shen Yiming was completely convinced.
However, the capital city is not a lonely one. There is also the eldest princess Xia Luoran and the Shuirou Tofu Shop.
Everything else was fine for her, but it was quite difficult for the eldest princess.
She has a very good relationship with the eldest princess, and their tempers are very similar. Once they are determined about something, even ten cows can't get it back.
If we knew what happened between him, the eldest princess, and Zi'er, it would probably be even more terrifying than the Shura Field.
"Fuck!" Xiao Ran has one head and two heads. He is not afraid of being beaten and killed, but he is afraid of Shura Field.
Each person drank directly from the wine jar.
quite a while.
Shen Yiming asked again: "Have you heard about your story?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
"The imperial court now knows that you are back, and someone will probably notify you later, asking you to go to court tomorrow morning, and you will be rewarded at that time. After tomorrow, you will be Wushuanghou, deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. "Shen Yiming said.
"To be honest, if possible, I really don't want any official position." Xiao Ran said.
Looking at the sky outside the window.
"Find a place where no one knows and stay with the one you love until old age."
"Don't be poor. At our level, it's always impossible unless you are killed or the end comes." Shen Yiming shook his head.
Until the evening.
The two of them had just separated. They had just left Zuixianyuan. Xiao Ran had not walked a few steps when an old eunuch came out from the corner. It seemed that he had arrived a long time ago. He saw Xiao Ran drinking inside and waiting outside for a long time.
Looking at him.
Xiao Ran secretly said that the palace's background was really deep, and any old eunuch's cultivation would be extraordinary.
"Your Excellency, are you Xiao Ran?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
"According to His Majesty's decree, I am conveying the Holy Edict!" said the old eunuch.
Xiao Ran made a gesture of invitation.
"Participate in tomorrow's morning court!" said the old eunuch.
As Shen Yiming said, there is no difference.
"I understand." Xiao Ran said.
"Farewell!" The old eunuch turned and left.
See him leave.
Xiao Ran frowned and thought deeply, Zhu Eunuch and the others haven't been transferred back yet?
Looking in the direction of the palace, it seemed that what happened last time made Emperor Shengwen wary and he no longer believed in them, especially at this juncture. If such a thing happened again, the remaining half of his life would be ruined. I'm afraid I really have to give up my life, and the throne will be taken away by someone else.
Shake his head.
No matter how the palace changes, it has nothing to do with him.
Think for a moment.
Xiao Ran wanted to visit the Spiritual God Division. He missed her a little after not seeing her for such a long time.
He changed the direction and walked in the night.
a while.
Stopping at the door of the Spiritual God Division, the person at the door knew him. When they saw him coming, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief, then made an exaggerated movement, and saw a guard running quickly inside.
While running, he shouted: "Deputy Chief Ling, Xiao Ran is here..."
With the blessing of cultivation, the voice spread throughout the Spiritual God Division.
Xiao Ran touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
Stepped in and walked in.
Not far away, a beautiful figure rushed out from inside like lightning. Before the person arrived, a voice came over: "Xiao Ran!"
"!!!" Xiao Ran had a black line on his head.
Looking around, I saw almost all the people and girls from the Spiritual God Division, including the head of the division, Xue Qing, looking at me. Under so many pairs of eyes, even if he was very shameless,
Although thick, I still can’t resist it.
Warmth in your arms.
Lingqing'er opened her arms and hugged him tightly, fearing that if she let go the next moment, he would run away.
Her head was buried in his arms, wishing that time would stand still.
Xiao Ran hugged her, patted her back, and reminded: "Someone is watching!"
Ling Qing'er's face turned red, and she reluctantly let go of him. When she saw that almost all the people from the Ling Shen Division had come out, her blush became even more intense. She didn't dare to delay for a second, took Xiao Ran's hand, and turned into a ray of green light.
Leave directly.
a while.
When the two of them appeared again, they had already arrived at their home in Zhuquefang. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Qing'er did not go to her home in Jingwenfang.
in the room.
The two of them talked about every detail of the past few days for a long time.
"Do you know everything?" Ling Qing'er asked.
She was referring to the matter of becoming a marquis. Xiao Ran knew it and nodded with a smile.
"No matter where you go in the future, you are not allowed to leave for such a long time without saying a word like you are now. No matter where you are, no matter how busy you are, you must still send me a message."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran agreed.
Standing up from his arms, Ling Qing'er arranged his clothes and said softly: "I know you are very busy now, so I won't occupy your time. After Shi Ming's business is finished, we can have a good time."
Let’s chat.”
Looking at this cold and beautiful face in front of me.
Xiao Ran felt very unhappy. The day after tomorrow, he prepared only two gifts for Zi'er and the eldest princess. She didn't have any. She felt sad thinking about this.
He took the initiative to hold her hand, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just going to stay with you at home."
"Seriously?" Lingqing'er's beautiful eyes lit up.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran smiled and scratched her delicate nose.
"Then wait for me. I'm going to cook now. I haven't seen you for so long, but my craftsmanship has improved a lot." Lingqing'er became even happier.
Like a little girl, she jumped up and down and ran to the kitchen.
"I'm just a bastard!" Xiao Ran blamed himself.
"When this period of work is over, I will definitely accompany them well and make up for all the debts I owe these days."
He stood up from the chair and entered the kitchen.
"Why are you here?" Lingqing'er was puzzled.
She was killing fish very quickly. A big fish was killed quickly and then washed with water.
"Let me help you." Xiao Ran smiled slightly.
Sit on the bench and start picking vegetables.
"Okay!" Lingqing'er nodded.
Half an hour later.
A sumptuous meal has been prepared and placed on the table. The rich aroma comes out, it is really delicious.
"Just wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go."
After saying a few words, Lingqing'er ran out again.
