Chapter Index

    Country people come to town

    A red sun slowly rose from the sea, and the sea turned red. Three or five whales jumped out of the golden-red sea surface, spewing out several golden-red light pillars. The golden pillars turned into little bits of gold in the high air and sank to the bottom of the sea.Soon, the red sun completely jumped out of the sea, and thousands of rays of light split through the morning fog. The clouds were ignited, and the burning clouds filled the entire sky. It was magnificent and ever-changing.The teenagers stood in a row on the deck silently admiring the beautiful sunrise. The golden light illuminated the bright eyes of the teenagers and dyed their long hair flying in the wind red.

    “It’s so beautiful~ No matter how many times I’ve seen it, I’m still shocked.” After a long time, An Linmian sighed softly, then turned his head and looked at An Ran and An Xiaoyu who were sticking together with a half-smile, and teased: “Why are you two more tired than when you were newlywed? Is it better to say goodbye than newlyweds?”

    An Ran looked at An Linmian with a smile: “Are you jealous that I have a wife?”

    “…” An Linmian rolled his eyes: “Are you tired of just saying this?”

    An Ran: “Not tired.”

    An Linmian rolled her eyes again, ignored him, turned to look at An Xiaoyu, and said, “An Xiaoyu, is your house big? Is it big enough for you?”

    “There’s no need to ask, Sister Mianmian,” Antu said loudly, “Brother Xiaoyu is the prince. Didn’t you hear the Jin people said that the prince wants to be the emperor? The entire Jin country belongs to the emperor, so how can the future emperor’s family be small?”

    An Linmian thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

    “I…fuck! You didn’t say it was so big!” In front of the East Palace Gate, An Linmian opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth. After staring at the majestic palace in front of him in astonishment for a long time, he let out a horrifying sound that shook the earth.

    The high vermilion wall extends to both sides like a giant dragon, with no end as far as the eye can see. Two huge vermilion-lacquered gold-nailed doors open wide inward. One hundred and eight bowl-sized gilt copper nails are densely covered like stars on the door leaves. The eyes of the jiaotu beast with a huge red copper ring in its mouth are wide open, and it stares majestically at the armored and solemn East Palace guards who are lined up straight from the front to the deep royal road inside the door.

    Under the dozens of white marble steps in front of the door, a middle-aged man wearing a green round-collar silk robe bowed down and led two rows of eunuchs and maids behind him with lowered eyebrows and bowed their heads, and said respectfully: “Welcome His Royal Highness to the palace.”

    An Xiaoyu’s face showed no emotion. He pointed at the middle-aged man dressed as a eunuch and said to several people: “This is Liu Ci, the steward of the East Palace. If you need anything, just ask him.” Then he introduced several people to Liu Ci one by one and said: “Like Anshun, they are also Gu’s friends.”

    “Well,” Liu Ci replied with a humble smile, “I will take good care of His Highness’s friends.”

    An Tu stared at Wuyangyang’s group of people in shock, and said in shock: “Brother Xiaoyu, these…are all just serving you?”

    An Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said to several people: “Let Liu Ci take you for a walk first. There are many vacant courtyards in the East Palace. You can live wherever you like.”

    Anmai smiled and said, “Where does Ah Shun live?”

    Liu Ci turned around and faced Anmai and said: “Go back to Miss Anmai. Mr. Anshun lives in Wutong Garden. In addition to Mr. Anshun’s wing, Wutong Garden also has several vacant rooms. How many of them will I take to Wutong Garden to have a look first?”

    Anmai smiled and said, “Then I’ll trouble Uncle Liu.”

    “Come on, come on, let’s go.” An Linmian looked impatient and pulled An Mai towards the palace. At the same time, he shouted excitedly, “Maizi, look, this roof is so beautiful…”

    An Linmian didn’t wait for anyone else and pulled An Mai in quickly. Liu Ci looked stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hands to An Xiaoyu and said, “Your Highness, I’ll go first.” After that, he quickly followed up with small steps, holding the hem of his clothes.

    An Ran looked up at the majestic red lacquer door and shook his head.

    An Xiaoyu lowered his head and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”

    An Ran shook her head solemnly again and said seriously: “Have you ever heard of the saying, ‘The wine and meat in a wealthy family smells bad, and the roads are frozen to death’?”

    As soon as he finished speaking, An Xiaoyu looked panicked: “This is not…”

    “I’m kidding you!” An Ran laughed out loud, patted An Xiaoyu on the shoulder, and said with a smile on his face, “Let’s go, I want to go shopping too… I’m marrying into a rich family…”

    Hao is really a hero.Glazed tiles, white jade bricks, brocade curtains and embroidered carpets, the room is filled with treasures.It’s big as well. There are Guidianlan Palace with carved beams and painted buildings that show the royal majesty, and Yaotai Langyuan with small bridges and flowing water, which is quiet and elegant.

    I can’t finish shopping, I can’t finish shopping at all.An Ran was exhausted after only walking a small part of the street. He sat on a bench in a certain octagonal pavilion, with his sore legs crossed on the legs of An Xiaoyu who was sitting upright. He said tiredly: “I can’t walk anymore, I can’t walk anymore. Where is the bed? How far is it? I want to lie on the bed. ”

    There was silence all around, with dozens of palace maids and eunuchs standing far away.

    An Xiaoyu rubbed Anle’s legs and said with a smile, “I’ll carry you back.”

    An Le was startled and quickly put down his legs and said: “Forget it, forget it. With so many people watching, I’m embarrassed that you are embarrassed.”

    “Then I’ll let them all go down.”

    An Ran suddenly sat close to An Xiaoyu and said, “Hey, An Xiaoyu, is it legal for you to be gay?”

    “Is it legal?” An Xiaoyu was confused for a moment, then understood and said, “My court has no laws on this, but same-sex affairs are indeed rare.”

    “Then should we hide a little bit?” An Ran asked softly.

    “No need.”

    “But aren’t you a prince? If you are found out, won’t you be impeached?”

    An Xiaoyu said calmly: “Then let them impeach you.”

    An Ran was startled and said, “What do you mean?”

    An Xiaoyu blinked and said, “If I am abolished, then we can go back to the village and live our ordinary life with my parents, Su Su Xiaojin, okay?”

    Anle’s expression gradually became serious, and he stared at An Xiaoyu for a moment, then asked, “Is this what you mean?”

    An Xiaoyu nodded.

    An Ran was silent, frowning as he looked at An Xiaoyu. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his high spirits, saying, “Of course. By the way, where is An Xiaojin?”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of extremely fast footsteps, and at the same time there was a burst of messy footsteps.An Ran heard the sound and went away, only to see An Xiaojin holding a colorful and beautiful chicken in his mouth and running happily. The chicken’s long and beautiful tail was swaying up and down.Behind An Xiaojin were two little eunuchs who were panting and shouting intermittently: “Chicken, chicken, there are dogs stealing chickens!”

    An Ran: “…….”

    “An Xiaojin!” An Ran shouted immediately. An Xiaojin stopped in front of An Ran and waggled his tail. His golden pupils were shining with excitement and pride, as if he was waiting for An Ran’s praise.

    An Ran took a deep breath, pulled the chicken carcass from An Xiaojin’s mouth, looked at the two eunuchs running away with red faces, feeling embarrassed: “Hug, sorry, dead…”

    Those two little eunuchs were just the little eunuchs who took care of the animals in the East Palace in the Exquisite Garden. They had never met An Ran and did not know the situation. But when they saw An Xiaoyu, they immediately knelt down to plead guilty and said: “Your Highness makes atonement. I was unfavorable to the official and let this dog kill His Highness’s golden pheasant. I hope Your Highness will forgive me. I think this mad dog came from nowhere -”

    “It doesn’t matter.” An Xiaoyu interrupted the little eunuch in a calm tone, took the golden pheasant in An Ran’s hand, handed it to An Xiaojin’s mouth, and said warmly: “Eat it.”

    The little eunuch immediately said nervously: “Your Highness, this golden pheasant was a birthday gift from the daughter of Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Household Affairs a few days ago…” Before he could finish the word birthday gift, he saw the body of the beautiful chicken being eaten by the majestic big yellow dog in front of him. The eunuch suddenly became mute.

    An Ran closed his eyes deeply, slapped An Xiaojinlang on the head who was eating chicken, and shouted in a low voice: “Eat whatever you want! Are you hungry?! You know how to cause trouble when you first come here!”

    The two eunuchs lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

    An Xiaoyu laughed and said, “It’s okay. If you bring it over, it belongs to our family. If you eat it, you can eat it.”

    “An Ran! An Ran!” Suddenly there was a particularly excited shout. An Ran knew that the voice was An Linmian without looking up. Looking up, she saw An Linmian running towards him with two particularly bright peonies in his right hand. The layers of pink petals of the peonies were swaying in the sun as An Linmian ran.

    “Look at this peony, there are two peonies blooming on one stem!” An Linmian’s eyes flashed with novelty, and his face turned red with excitement.

    An Ran was speechless: “What a fuss, this is called Bingdi flower.” After saying that, he took the Bingdi flower and looked at it carefully and praised: “But Bingdi flower is indeed quite rare. If a Bingdi flower blooms somewhere in our area, it will be on the hot search…” Before he finished speaking, he saw from the corner of his eye a maid holding a watering can in her left hand and a skirt in her right hand running towards her in a hurry. Her expression was exactly the same as that of the two young eunuchs just now.

    An Ran’s eyelids twitched, and he felt bad. Sure enough, he saw the palace maid kneeling at An Xiaoyu’s feet as soon as she arrived. She buried her head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: “Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me. I just went back to get some tools. When I came back, this flower…”

    “It doesn’t matter.” An Xiaoyu remained calm and even recited a poem, “If there are flowers, they must be broken.”

    The palace maid trembled and said: “But the Queen Mother specially ordered Eunuch Liu to send these peonies to Your Highness this morning. The Queen Mother said that Your Highness should send them to Mr. Zhao Ge’s granddaughter…”

    Hearing this, An Ran’s eyes darkened again, and the hand holding the flower was suddenly unable to exert any strength. After shaking it for a few times, he gave it to An Xiaoyu and stammered: “It’s still usable. You can wrap it up with a piece of beautiful paper, find a strip of pink cloth, tie it with a bow, and it’ll be fine…”

    An Xiaoyu took the flowers, looked down at them, smiled, and said to the little palace maid on the ground: “Go get the beautiful paper and pink satin strips.”

    The little palace maid got up and retreated.An Xiaoyu then said to the two little eunuchs kneeling on the ground: “You guys should get up too. This wolf is alone. It can eat anything as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.”

    “Wolf… wolf…” a eunuch said tremblingly.

    “Don’t worry, it won’t hurt anyone.” Seeing this, An Ran said with relief, and punched the wolf on the head again, threatening in a low voice: “If you eat it again, I will send you back! Do you hear me?!”

    An Xiaojin grunted in grievance, moved forward and squeezed An Xiaoyu’s leg, then rubbed his mouth full of blood on An Xiaoyu’s leg.

    “How dare you hide!” An Ran glared at An Xiaojin and threatened him fiercely.

    An Xiaoyu chuckled and said, “It’s okay, no matter how beautiful it is, it’s still a chicken. It’s worth noting, but it’s just right to eat it.”

    An Ran was speechless and rolled her eyes at one person and the other. Suddenly she remembered that there were two more people, and her heart tightened and she asked, “By the way, where are Maizi and Tutu? They won’t get into trouble, right?”

    An Linmian said: “Tutu, when I passed by the school field, I couldn’t walk, so I followed the people in the school field, dancing with knives and guns.”

    An Ran took a breath and heard An Linmian continue: “Mai Zi is in the garden seeing a doctor.”

    “See a doctor?” An Ran asked doubtfully, “Who is sick?”

    An Linmian said: “Palace maids, eunuchs, guards, kitchen ladies… Anyway, there are everyone there. I was strolling around the garden when I heard a few palace maids chatting about how it hurt, so I helped them take a look. Later, more and more people came for some reason, so Maizi simply set up a table in the garden to look after the illness.”

    Maizi, thanks to you, Longyin Village has not lost all its face.An Ran thought.

    “Your Highness, the things are here.” At this time, the palace maid who left earlier came back in a hurry, holding a plate covered with golden satin in both hands and raising it to her forehead and presenting it to An Xiaoyu.

    On the plate are several pieces of paper of different colors and several strips of cloth cut from pink satin.

    An Xiaoyu picked a piece of cyan paper to wrap the flowers and tied them with pink satin strips.

    The maid said: “Your Highness, do you want to send it to Miss Zhao’s house now?”

    An Xiaoyu said: “If grandma pursues it, just say that I gave it to the princess.”

    As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid and the two eunuchs on the side showed obvious signs of astonishment, and then their eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of them in astonishment.

    An Xiaoyu handed the bandaged Bingtilian to An Ran and asked softly: “What kind of vase is better to choose?”
