Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 222 Taidou Prepares for Wedding

Ran Qianxi was brought to the Yifeng Palace. Baili Yong was discussing official business with Xu Yuanchao in the royal palace. There were familiar decorations and furnishings, as well as the familiar personal maid Yuqing.

Ran Qianxi smiled unbearably, sat on the chair for the concubines to celebrate, and looked at the dragon and phoenix chair, feeling mixed emotions and regret.

"Yuqing, come here."

Yuqing walked cautiously to Ran Qianxi and bowed.

"Second miss."

Ran Qianxi was filled with sorrow and forced to smile.

"how is your day?"

Yuqing paused for a moment, at a loss, then bowed again.

"I am doing well, my servant."

"Okay, just live well."

The more Yuqing thought about it, the weirder it seemed, but she didn't take it to heart.

"I will make some rose and osmanthus tea for the second young lady."

"Yes, the tea you made is delicious."

It was almost the hour of Xu, and Baili Yong sent Xu Yuanchao away. Although he knew that his beloved woman was waiting for his favor in the palace, he could only let Baili Yong go.

Ran Qianxi took a short nap, and when she woke up, Yuqing was no longer in the palace, but Baili Yong was there with her.

"woke up?"

She slowly got out of bed, and Baili Yong's aggressive beauty filled her eyes.

"Well, what time is it?"

"The end of the Xu hour."

"Have I slept for so long?"

Baili Yong smiled and raised his right hand to stroke her hair.

"Not long."

"Have you been waiting for me?"

He smiled faintly and said nothing. Ran Qianxi stood up and took off his coat casually.

Baili Yong looked at her lovingly as she took off layer after layer of her skirt, revealing her bellyband.

"Hurry up, I still have friends to settle."

Baili Yong smiled faintly and helped her down on the bed. He was already burning with desire and he pulled open his dragon robe with anticipation.

"Good~"

Jibei Palace

Ran Qianxi came back in a hurry, wearing Tian Bailiyong's son's cloak. In the previous life, he wore Tan Qianhuan's battle robe and swaggered around the city. In this life, he ran around wearing a dragon robe. The Ran family has not declined until now, perhaps because of good luck...

After returning to the palace, she did not go to Tan Qianhuan's room, but went straight to her own room.

"The second young lady is back?"

"Yes, Brother Tong."

Ran Qianxi did not stay for long, but opened her door with full concentration.

"Han Wu Yisheng?"

Han Wu heard the sound and walked in from the backyard. Ran Qianxi grabbed his wrist with a smile on her face.

"Come home with me."

"go home?"

Looking at his confused expression, Ran Qianxi smiled playfully.

"Yes, he's already healed, why are you still living here? He's really bad, just follow me."

She grabbed Han Wu's wrist and walked out of the room, but after a few steps she hurried back.

"The medical box must be taken away."

Holding Han Wu's hand in one hand and the medicine box in the other, she left the Jibei Palace without any regrets.

"I'll just take it."

Ran Qianxi smiled and handed him the medical box.

"Okay, it's really heavy."

I walked all the way back to Huanleju and ran into Xiahou Chen and Bai Wenxiao as soon as I entered the door.

"cousin?"

Xiahou Chen raised his eyebrows as he looked at the handsome Han Wu, and was obviously interested in the man in front of him. His eyes swept from head to toe and easily saw the two people's hands tightly clasped together.

"This is…"

"Oh, Han Wu, he's my friend."

Xiahou Chen's expression suddenly changed, and his scrutinizing eyes stared at Ran Qianxi without any relaxation.

"Just friends?"

"Well, they are just friends."

When Han Wu heard Ran Qianxi blurt out the word "friend", the silent love in his heart almost collapsed.

Ran Qianxi asked Lai Suixue to arrange a room for Han Wu, and walked forward to Xia Houchen.

"But why are you here? And you brought your sister-in-law with you?"

"Hey, I heard the news that you ran away from home and just came back in Xiao County. I was a little worried, so I came all the way to see you. Who would have thought that you are a handsome man hiding in the yard."

"Oh my god, all these handsome guys are just friends."

Hearing his friend's name again, Sikong Qian went back to his room in a huff. He was always so arrogant and sulky.

"Okay, as long as you're okay."

"What can I do? I'm fine. Thank you for buying me a house."

"Tsk, I was afraid that you would run away from home because you couldn't stand Ran Qiongxi's oppression, so I paid for the house for you out of my own pocket. After all, I am much better than your biological brother, right?"

Ran Qianxi happily hugged Xiahou Chen and acted coquettishly to show her affection.

"Yeah, Xiahou Chen is the best."

Xiahou Chen naturally hugged her waist. Bai Wenxiao's eyes fell on his back like a sharp knife. He was so scared that he immediately withdrew his hand and placed it on Ran Qianxi's back. Only then did he receive a relieved smile from Bai Wenxiao.

"By the way, I heard from Sui Xue today that you were summoned to the palace by His Majesty, but what happened?"

Ran Qianxi slowly let go of him, and then she saw the emperor's cloak on her body.

"Wait a minute, why are you wearing a dragon robe!?"

"Ah...it was cold so he just picked up a piece of clothing for me."

Xiahou Chen suddenly felt terrified!

"You and His Majesty are together?"

"Oh, no, I just... went to the palace to play cards."

Ran Qianxi's eyes were obviously evasive, she told a very unwise lie.

"Don't lie. It's not easy to get into the palace. I'll take you to see my aunt and quickly settle your marriage with Li Zhengzhong."

Ran Qianxi suddenly felt like she was hit on the head.

"Li Zhengzhong?!"

Hearing her excited tone, Xiahou Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"Isn't it? My aunt and uncle told me that Li Zhengzhong has already started preparing the three letters, six gifts, four engagement gifts and five golds. All he needs is a good day and a sedan chair to carry you into his house."

"His...his house?"

"Yes, it was given by King Chenyang himself. It is on West Street."

Ran Qianxi's brain raced for a moment before she sat down on the cold steps.

King Chenyang is Baili Yong's uncle, and he is fond of poetry and songs. When Li Zhengzhong became famous for one of his poems, King Chenyang admired him very much. He was so happy that he gave him a mansion and a beauty. However, Li Zhengzhong only had Qin Miqiu in his heart at that time. Although he accepted the beauty as usual, he returned to Penglai. Today, the house with four courtyards is still the most luxurious house for literati in the city.

"The background is strong."

After a moment's silence, she could only utter one sentence: "The background is strong."

"My parents didn't discuss it with me."

Xiahou Chen: "Marriage is a major event in life. Aunt must have thought it over carefully."

Ran Qianxi sighed to the sky, perhaps marrying Li Zhengzhong was the best outcome. Her parents liked her, and he had the King of Chenyang behind him. Both Baili Yong and Tan Qianhuan would give him some face, but she just didn't want to be someone else's substitute.

"Okay, I'll go see Han Wu."
