palace heart

Chapter 28
When Li Qianlan heard Princess Eketa mentioned Jiangnan, she couldn't help asking: "Have you been to Jiangnan?"

Princess Eketa stared blankly with her small mouth open, and then regretted that she had slipped her tongue.Then he said calmly: "That's so strange, Tusi has been in business with the Dahong Dynasty for more than [-] years, if your merchants can go, we can naturally come too."

Li Qianlan laughed when she heard that, others could come naturally, but as for her, a princess, it would be a bit inappropriate to come here.It's not good for a daughter's house to run around.However, with Princess Eketa's temperament, I'm afraid she ran out secretly.

Seeing Li Qianlan's thoughts, Princess Eketa snorted, "So what if she escaped secretly? Women who weave silk are not like your Central Plains women! You have to take small steps when you walk, take small mouths when you eat, and don't show your teeth when you smile. You have to speak softly, if your ears are a little bad, you can’t even hear the sound! Are you tired!”

After finishing speaking, he went to pull Li Qianlan's hand again, "It's still good for you. If there is a chance, I will definitely take you to ride a horse on the grassland. The sky is blue, the water is clear, and the grassland is wide! The sky and the earth are free for me to swim! You don't know how beautiful it is!"

Li Qianlan also showed a look of longing, as if he saw himself and Shen Mojun, riding alone, riding under the blue sky and white clouds, among the green grass and blue waves.

Princess Eketa shook Li Qianlan's arm, "Will you marry my brother Wang? You are my sister-in-law, and I can take you back to the grassland."

After listening to Princess Eketa's words, Li Qianlan felt chills all over her body, and said with a forced smile, "I'm a female officer, and I'm under 25 years old, so I can't leave the palace."

After hearing this, Princess Eketa curled her lips, "Leaving the palace at the age of 25, she is already an old lady, who wants it! You have to think about it carefully, if the king asks for marriage, the emperor will definitely answer. And it's not like there were no female officials in advance. An example of going out of the palace, my third uncle married a female official of the Dahong Dynasty!"

Li Qianlan only felt a headache for a while, so she could only urge her, "Hurry up and see the Empress Dowager, don't you want to see her? If it's later, I can't say a few words, and the banquet is about to start, and you can't say a few words!"

Princess Eketa smiled honestly, "Yes! Hurry up!" As she spoke, she pulled Li Qianlan forward and ran forward.

Li Qianlan quickly pulled her back, "This way!"

When the two arrived at Dexuan Palace, Empress Dowager Gao was exactly the kind of woman Princess Eketa liked. Empress Dowager Gao was extremely tactful, and the two chatted very well, until the emperor sent someone to invite them. Princess, go together to the Songting Pavilion for the banquet.

After the banquet, Li Qianlan and Mrs. Zheng sent Prince Habok and Princess Eketa to the embassy.Zheng Chenghao was very satisfied with Li Qianlan's performance, and the more he loved his niece, "I heard that you were sick the day before yesterday. Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for your concern, Qianlan is fine." Li Qianlan was moved in her heart, and she didn't want Zheng Chenghao to be hurt again, so she could only keep the secret in her heart.

Zheng Chenghao nodded, "I saw your mother yesterday, and she looked good. It's just that it's not convenient for me to go, and I'll let your aunt go to see it from time to time. It's just that she doesn't want to go out for a walk, otherwise, I can invite you to Zheng's mansion. Going through the door. It's good for her to move around more."

"Thank you Uncle Zheng, I'm afraid Qianlan won't be able to go out for a while, and I have to trouble you to take care of my mother."

"You're out of touch if you say that." Zheng Chenghao thought of Li Xiangye again, and couldn't help being a little sentimental. He was about to speak, but saw Qiu Yun standing aside evasively.He said to Li Qianlan: "The empress dowager has reused you, and I'm afraid she is also concerned about today's affairs. You go to see the empress dowager, I will go back first."

Li Qianlan sent Zheng Chenghao off for a while before returning.

"I heard that the emperor said today that you should be able to accompany you." Empress Dowager Gao glanced at the seemingly humble Li Qianlan and said straight to the point.

"That's what the Empress Dowager said."

Empress Dowager Gao smiled, "Then you should pay more attention to Princess Eketa for the Ai family. If she wants to be a concubine, you don't need to do anything. If she wants to be a queen..." At this point, Empress Dowager Gao paused. After a pause, he looked at Li Qianlan, "You know what to do, right?"

"The servant understands."

"Very well, you go down."

Zhong Shanggong watched Li Qianlan go down. A month ago, this woman could still be ordered around by court ladies, but now she has more status than her. Although he is more important to the Empress Dowager, he still feels a little jealous of being two levels higher than her. Li Qianlan is here!
The jealousy in his heart became more and more serious, Zhong Shanggong waited for Li Qianlan to go down, pointed Lin Shanggong to another place, and said to Empress Dowager Gao: "Mother, this Li Qianlan..."

"The Ai family knows." The Empress Dowager Gao looked at Li Qianlan's back and said, "Although the Ai family gave her a task, she was not very dedicated. If you want her to do something, order her to do it. But, like that It’s fine even if you don’t want Li Qianlan. Aijia doesn’t want a pawn with no thought!”

Zhong Shanggong could hear the murderous intent in Empress Dowager Gao's words, and felt complacent.So what if Empress Dowager Gao reuses it again? In a word, wouldn't Li Qianlan still be unable to eat and walk around!

"I heard that Li Jiangshi stays behind closed doors, so you should persuade her to go out for a walk. Only when she is well can Li Qianlan work for Ai's family with peace of mind." Empress Dowager Gao said softly.

Early in the morning, Li Qianlan went to the embassy to wait for Princess Keta. Today they said they were going to the hunting ground and asked Li Qianlan to come to her early.Zheng Chenghao said that young people went to that place, so he didn't follow, and simply left everything to Li Qianlan.

It's just that Li Qianlan didn't expect that when he arrived at the embassy, ​​he didn't see Princess Eketa, but instead saw Prince Habok first.Li Qianlan saluted Prince Habok somewhat uncomfortably, "Good morning, Prince Habok."

Prince Habok pulled Li Qianlan up, but Li Qianlan avoided him without a trace.He didn't care, "You're a female official, you're in the fourth rank, and you're not a petty official anymore, so you don't have to be so polite to me. Go to the hunting ground today, can you ride a horse?"

"Qianlan can't." Dahongguo doesn't restrict women too much, and ordinary ladies and ladies also know some riding skills, but Li Qianlan has no chance to get in touch with it.

Prince Habok blurted out, "Then, this prince will teach you."

Li Qianlan just thanked, but didn't talk about learning.

Prince Habok only felt that facing Li Qianlan was like being punched in the water.Although seemingly soft and invisible.But there is nothing I can do!The more Li Qianlan is like this, the more Prince Habok likes it.

"What are you talking about?" Princess Eketa jumped and ran out.

"Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all, look at Qianlan. She is more like a princess of a country!" Prince Habok couldn't help but teach his sister a lesson.

Who knows that Princess Eketa doesn't care, "It's been 17 years, Eketa is like this, why do you think of complaining, my brother! I am me, Princess Eketa, and Qianlan is Qianlan."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Li Qianlan who just laughed but didn't answer, "I really want you to say something, I'm too tired here. Seeing how careful you are everywhere, I'm going crazy! I'll teach you how to ride a horse! But, how to ride a horse?" The one with the best technique is my brother Wang!"

Princess Eketa kept promoting her brother.

Li Qianlan could only smile awkwardly, "The carriage is ready outside..."

"I don't want to ride in a carriage!" Princess Eketa complained, "I sat on a horse on the way here, and I almost fell apart. I don't want to take that broken carriage again!"

Li Qianlan looked at the carriage. The carriage was naturally not as fast as the horse. She wondered if she would fall apart when she was in the galloping carriage when she arrived at the hunting ground.Thinking of this, Li Qianlan only felt that this princess was not so easy to serve, and only felt a headache.When she was thinking about how to persuade Princess Eketa to take a carriage, Princess Eketa jumped onto the horse herself.Li Qianlan was shocked and hurriedly chased after her.But he just felt that his body was empty, that he had been captured and sat down immediately.

"It's fine for the prince to take you, why should Qianlan be in trouble?"

Li Qianlan's face suddenly turned red up to the neck.He lowered his head, leaned close to the horse, and tried to keep a distance from Prince Harbok.But she didn't know that with her sitting posture, if Prince Habok hadn't been good at riding, she would have fallen down long ago.

Prince Habok is holding Li Qianlan, and from behind her, she can see her little red ears, which are pink and attractive in the sun.Afraid of frightening the person in his arms, Prince Habok did not dare to make unnecessary movements.Stiff, led by others, to the hunting ground.Actually, Li Qianlan didn't know where the hunting ground was.

When they arrived at the hunting ground, Li Qianlan breathed a sigh of relief, disregarding her own safety, she quickly got off her horse.

Seeing Li Qianlan's distressed appearance, Princess Eketa laughed out loud.

Li Qianlan was dizzy, and for the first time, she gave Princess Eketa a blank look.

Seeing the charming Li Qianlan, not to mention Prince Habok, even Princess Eketa, who is a woman, was stunned. "Brother, if you don't marry Qianlan, I will marry you back home."

Prince Habok scolded with a smile: "Stinky girl, what are you talking about!" Although he was cursing, his eyes kept looking at Li Qianlan.

Embarrassed by the look, Li Qianlan said, "I'll get the cakes first, and you guys go ride the horses first." Li Qianlan ran away as if fleeing, afraid of being caught by Prince Habok again, and sat on the horse in embarrassment.But Princess Eketa didn't intend to just let Li Qianlan go just like that, and entangle her by her side.

"I don't know how to ride a horse, really. As you saw just now, if I knew how to ride a horse, I wouldn't be so embarrassed." Li Qianlan's face turned red again as she spoke.Don't dare to look at Prince Habok next to him.

"Okay, let's go first. Qianlan doesn't know how to ride a horse, what are you doing with us?" Prince Habok didn't want to see Li Qianlan in trouble, so he had to persuade his sister to leave first.

Li Qianlan finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the two of them had left.Hearing someone entering the pavilion, he looked sideways. "Master Meng."
