Chapter 84 - Has she changed?
An Yanran did not think that her unintentional actions would allow An Mingxuan to mature quickly, and his sinister character began to brew and develop from this time ......
An Mingxuan walked out depressed. In her heart, Lian Jinrong felt that her son was useless, but that her youngest daughter could still be counted on.
So, she softly coaxed Yanran, "We still have a chance, don't be discouraged, it's just a momentary loss, didn't we also trample them underfoot before? As long as the timing is right, as long as the idea is good, there's nothing we can't do, right?"
An Yanran was frustrated hearing that and said: An Yanran was frustrated: "Mother, don't you think that An Qinran has been transformed into a different person? She used to be a kind person( one who tries never offend anybody). She believed everything we said. She was even closer to you than her own mother. But now, if you look at her eyes, they can eat people! I don't know how she suddenly became like this.It really seeing like devil ghost!...Instead, we've been doing things a good deal more discreetly. Now I'm not worried about anything else, just that maybe she'll catch something and bite us back! Like what happened today!"
"Son, you think too much, how old is she, gaining power is only a momentary thing, as long as we walk carefully in the future and don't leave them a handle, see if she can still afford to take care of it!"
After a good deal of talk, An Yanran's temper was much smoother.
She could not help but recall the encounter with her cousin in Yuehua Temple and thought, if it were not for An Qingran, she and her cousin would have had many opportunities to get intimate!
And An Qingran was still there, so don't have any intention of getting close to your cousin.
She just thought that if Dongfang Ye had caught her eye, he would also catch the eyes of others, and she was afraid that all the women in the world would think about him. She could not help but be suspicious for no reason, and started to worry.
In fact, her thoughts were not bad, but it was just the opposite. Ever since An Qingran had rebuked him, Dongfang Ye had been itching in his heart. During the evening prayers, the male and female family members were separated into two large halls, chanting sutras together for the Empress. While his mind was running off somewhere, he was there, his mouth moving, for a moment thinking of Dongfang Jin, for a moment thinking of An Qingran, for a moment suddenly thinking, how could these two people be so coincidental, both coming to this Yuehua Temple, could it be that there was something mysterious inside?
The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to meditate, and even the scriptures were not very clear!
At last, the evening prayers were over and they went to their respective rooms, while Dongfang Ye looked at the location of An Qingran's room with some hesitation.
Dongfang Yan didn't know what he was thinking, he just complained a little. This Crown Prince, who is playing the disappearance game, has caused them to huddle together in this temple to eat and recite the scriptures. Although he was complaining, but in the end he didn't dare to raise his voice.
But Dongfang Ye spoke up, "Sometimes, adversity is opportunity, it just depends on how you think about it!"
Dongfang Yan's eyes looked to where he was looking and saw nothing then asked, "Huang Xiong, are you looking for your opportunities?"
{TN note: Huang Xiong — Imperial Elder Brother}
Dongfang Ye smiled, “Yes, this trip, we should find some harvest ourselves, shouldn't we? It's a happy thing that the Crown Prince is not missing, isn't it?"
Dongfang Yan doesn't know what he means.
He only looked at him blankly.
Dongfang Ye laughed, "You don't understand. It's now late. Let's talk more about it tomorrow. Let's go and have a good sleep tonight! There's no need to punish yourself. What do you say?
Dongfang Yan understood that last sentence.
Even though An Zhongtao said they would return to home soon, An Zhongtao has temporarily left due to an errand. Lian Jinyu decided to serve for one month. She was indeed sincerely praying for the General's Fu. An Qingran felt that there is no need to hurry in the next two days. After all, this is also related to the good fortune of the General's Fu!
Thus, she settled down and began to copy the scriptures.
Lian Jinyu saw her daughter being calm and composed despite the disaster. She couldn't help but feel secretly proud of her. Her courage is worthy of the daughter of the General as expected!
When An Zhongtao returned, he brought back the news. The Queen's illness improved slightly, and the Emperor's mood improved a little.
Upon hearing that, An Qingran's mood was also a little better. If it were from past life, she wouldn't be concerned with the affairs of the Emperor and Empress. But because of meeting the Crown Prince, she now feels very sad about the Empress' and Crown Prince's fate. She doesn't know who is the culprit, causing the mother and son to die!
An Qingran is reluctant to think back to a time when the Crown Prince passed away.
During the day, she was in the courtyard. Although there was no noise around her, people came and went very busily. Yuehua Temple has never seen so many noble family members. Therefore, everything they used was carefully selected. Even those with accompanying maids and palace maids are calm, steady, and moving without making noise.
At that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps approaching. She looked saw the beautiful and lovely Lou Wanyue walking forward, accompanied by a maid, "Qingran, you look good. Yesterday I heard you fainted, so I came to see you. But I'm afraid to disturb…"
Her smile was light and her attitude was righteous, and An Qingran liked it at first sight.
So she said, "So it's Miss Lou! I was so impolite yesterday, I didn't even know! Please come in!"
It is surprising that Lou Wanyue did not make any false pretences, but just followed her into the house. Rendong was busy bringing tea. An Qingran said, "There is no good tea in the temple for guests. Hope Miss Lou doesn't hate it!"
Lou Wanyue held the cup elegantly and placed it down after two sips, "People in this temple have no distraction in their heart. I feel that this tea has a distinct taste. Although it is not strong, it is suitable for the spleen. It can be considered a good tea. Moreover, drinking tea is for the sake of a clear heart. Since that's the case, it's the tea that's too good!"
"Listening to Miss Lou, these words seem to be reasonable. If I were you, I would not be able to say them…" An Qingran looked at the beauty in front of her, feeling melancholy in her heart.
As she thought about it, she realized there is still no friendship between them.
Lou Wanyue grinned, "You actually said that I am good at speaking. I am willing to listen when you speak, but is your health better?"
"I'm much better!" An Qingran answered. In the previous life, she didn't have a deep friendship with Lou Wanyue. She was a Crown Princess, who kept guarding Dongfang Jin. After one year of marriage, Dongfang Jin died, and she never went out again. A year later, she passed away. Now, looking at her beautiful and peaceful appearance, it is impossible to imagine that beautiful woman turning into dust, which is somewhat sad.
When Lou Wanyue saw her unwillingness to talk, she stood up and said, "It looks like you are still exhausted, I will not bother you!"
An Qingran realised that she was neglecting her, so she got up to pull her back. "Just now, I was thinking about the last time I was at Ding Yuan Mansion, I twisted my foot and didn't see you, which I regret. When I finally saw you, I didn't know how to celebrate. I was thinking that if we weren't in the temple, we would have had some wine!"
After she heard that, Lou Wangyue smiled, "It is really the daughter of the General, not doing it so attractive. Well, if I leave now, it will make you think that I am petty…"
