Chapter 83- Earn a reputation for excellence
An Qing Ran's heart tumbled, the past and what was happening now were intertwined, making her sigh quietly, in this life, no matter what, she was only protecting what should be protected! As for the affairs of the world, she is a woman, how can she care so much? Besides, she will not marry Dongfang Ye, so naturally she will not enter the palace, and she will not have anything to do with the world, right?
Perhaps the master was over-worried, probably just seeing that she kept getting into trouble and warned.
When she went to the east wing and saw the young monk, she realised that the Crown Prince had left!
Yes, he must have missed the Empress, if it were her, she would have wanted to go back on wings immediately, whereas he had lied for her before returning to the palace ......
At this thought, there was a ripple in her peaceful heart!
"It's the An Family's Eldest Miss!" Dongfang Ye's voice rang out, a voice so familiar that for a moment An Qingran thought she was still in a previous life.
Instead, she saw him and Dongfang Yan just walking out from the backyard, Dongfang Ye approached and stared at her face delicately, "I heard that Eldest Miss An prayed for her father's blessing and fainted from exhaustion, what a filial heart!"
An Qing Ran's heart started to beat faster!
She honestly hadn't thought about how to face him until now!
During the time when her own foot was injured, he kept coming to the General's residence to harass her, and she ignored him, but she didn't want his cheekiness to be almost as uncomplimentary as his shamelessness!
An Qingran said blandly, "So Kang Wang and Ning Wang have also come!"
"It's natural to come. You can pray for your father, and it's only right that we pray for the Empress! So, we are planning to do a three-day ceremony! But I don't know how many sessions Miss An has done for the General's House?" Dongfang Ye looked at the little girl in front of him, and more and more he felt where she was special, not to mention her beauty alone was sweet with a touch of bravery, and sometimes, just listening to her talk, he felt 'interesting'!
She will always easily arouse the evil fire in his heart!
She ignored him, but he thought she was different!
"Well, praying is about sincerity, it has nothing to do with being present!" An Qingran said nonchalantly.
When Dongfang Ye heard this, his face changed a few times, from white to red and then to green. Although he was not the crown prince, he was still a Royal Prince, and all the people who saw him could not wait to pay respect to him. How dare she do this?
She is nothing but a General's daughter!
What does she rely on?
Is it because of the Crown Prince?
By the way, that time when Yanran fell into the water, it was Crown Prince Dongfang Jin who carried Qingran to the inner room. Then this little girl developed a crush on Dongfang Jin?
Thinking of this, my heart became more and more uncomfortable, and Dongfang Yan, who was next to him, saw that Kang Wang was deflated and said: ""Miss An's temper has really reached a high level, and she is worthy of being the daughter of a General. But An Yanran, who was also the General's daughter, was heard to be gentle and virtuous, but she was rare and quiet, probably because her mother was different. Since ancient times, there has always been a distinction between the first and the second, but I don't know whether such a distinction between the first and the second is the most harmful!"
Because he knew the relationship between Kang Wang and Lian Jinrong, being first cousins, and even more so because compared to Dongfang Jin, he and Kang Wang were, by definition, also Shu born, hence this statement
An Qingran did not expect to meet these two devils on her trip out. In the last life, this Dongfang Yan had befriended Dongfang Ye. At that time, she was bent on helping Dongfang Ye to the throne, but she did not know anything about Dongfang Yan, instead she thought he was very good at talking and coaxing people.Now, hearing him speak like this, she could not help but smile: “ I think it's fine for Ning Wang to say this to me, If anyone were to hear this, they would think that Ning Wang is saying that because he is the Shu born (illegitimate son of a concubine) and cannot be Crown prince...If word of this reaches the ears of the emperor, I wonder what the emperor, who places the utmost importance on the distinction between the Di and Shu and issued a decree the other day banning the lack of distinction between Di and Shu, will think. There is righteousness in heaven and earth, and so are people. If there is no distinction between the Di and Shu, it is the same as no distinction between the guest and the master. In that case, if you promote this imperial court, it would make people think that the ruler and his subjects are indistinguishable, wouldn't it? If this is not in accordance with the etiquette and the law, How can Ning Wang speak so righteously, but why not explain it to me, Chen nu is too stupid to understand!"
Dongfang Yan had thought he hadn't spoken wrongly, but he hadn't expected to be rebuffed by the woman in front of him, making it impossible for him to answer the question.
Dongfang Ye looked at the seriousness on her clear face and heard her speak such a grand truth, he could not help but be impressed by her. This little girl is so young, but she has such an attitude, I wonder how she will be when she grows up!
If he had her by his side to help, perhaps, it would be much easier to do some things himself!
He smiled instead of anger: "Good, worthy of being the General's Di daughter, you have the courage and the spirit!"
An Qingran looked at his bright and brilliant smile, very moving. Dongfang Ye has such a skill, he can easily make people trust him. If An Qingran did not know his character, perhaps when she saw this smile ,she would think that this man is very modest and polite!
"If there is nothing else for you two princes, please forgive Daughter for taking leave!" With a curtsy, she passed them by and left.
An Qingran was anxious, how could she be in the mood to talk to them here. She didn't know how she could help the Crown Prince, she wanted to know how the Empress's health was. Moreover, the person who had harmed her hadn't been found, but she staying indoors all the time without making contact with the outside world and the only ones she had offended were Lian Jinrong and her daughter!
An Yanran was still young, and besides, she didn't have any way to find the bandits, so the only person who could have done this was Lian Jinrong.
On this side, When An Yanran returned to the general's residence, she looked gloomy, and when Lian Jinrong saw her, she became anxious: "Yanran, what happened?"
"Mother, that An Qingran is staying at Yuehua Temple in comfort, she is bullying the daughter!" In an anxious and angry manner, she told Lian Jinrong what had happened, and then said: "Mother, she pretended to be dying, now my daughter's reputation has been tarnished by her. If this goes on, she will have gained a good reputation, not to mention a benefit. Father trusts her so much that he will naturally follow suit and trust her mother, which is not good for you, Mother! What shall we do?"
In the end, An Yanran is a small child, before when everywhere is smooth, her temperament is still well controlled. But did not expect, now with An Qingran here having repeatedly failed, she is so angry that she has forgotten everything.
An Mingxuan came in just in time and walked up without knowing any seriousness: "Second sister, why isn't big sister back, and why aren't father and mother back?"
When An Yanran heard this, she raised her hand high and was about to slap him, but she was stopped by Lian Jinrong: "Yanran, Mingxuan is still young, he doesn't know anything!"
An Mingxuan did not expect his second Jiejie to be so unpredictable. When she was good enough to treat him, she was too good to be true, but now she seems to be taking anger out and he has become the one to take it out on.
He couldn't help but feel a little bit of hatred in his heart, I should have grown up sooner. When I grow up, I will be able to do whatever I want to do, and see who will still look down on me.
