Chapter 85 - Feels like old friends at the first meeting
"By the way, did you know that we're considered as cousins via the female line? My paternal grandmother is your mother's aunt. I've only recently learned about this relationship. In the past, visiting of relatives was a matter of adults. We girls don't like to move around, and my family management was strict. Even the relatives are left out. But now there is time because of the Praying for Empress's blessing. So yesterday I didn't get to talk to you. Today, I got up early and decided that if I don't have a good talk with you, I won't stop trying! "
{Zimu – paternal grandmother, Qin Yi – mother's sister; aunt}
This many layers of relatives, An Qingran naturally understood.
She has already known it in the last life.
It's just a pity that she didn't befriend her at the time, moreover the Crown Prince was still someone who had to be removed as opposed to her!
At that time, there were two camps. In this life, her heart aches for the Crown Prince, but also for the lovely girl in front of her. With just these few words, she really felt that she was close friends with her. Sometimes you don't need to spend a lot of time with someone, just a look or a word, you can tell if you can be friends!
Lou Wanyue is absolutely a friend you can make!
Not to mention their relationship with each other!
So she retook her hand and asked, "Well, in that case, I should call you Jiejie?"
Lou Wanyue is two years older than her.
"Well, then, I won't be polite. Judging from these feelings of mine towards you, I can afford to be called Jiejie!" Lou Wanyue laughed.
An Qingran is willing to do the same.
The two people talked a lot about everything. Later, because of the chanting of the scriptures, Lou Wanyue said goodbye.
Looking at her back, An Qingran couldn't stop the sadness.
She feels as she is living this life; it is God who gave her this chance to make up for her regrets or someone else's.
She should be able to do it!
She could rewrite the fate of her sister Lou. Could she change the outcome?
If she told people so bluntly that the Crown Prince could not be married, they would be misunderstood as to what she meant!
She was dazed, Rendong smiled, "Miss, this Miss Lou is a good person. Walking around in the future is how to start staying here…."
Looking at the little girl in front of her, An Qingran smiled. At least her fate that must be change has already changed.
She couldn't help but say, "Rendong, thank you!"
Rendong found it embarrassing to be thanked: "For no reason, the maidservant just bravely said these two sentences, how is it worth being thanked?"
An Qingran smiled. "Thank you for all the things you did for me in the past. It's worth it!"
Rendong wanted to say something. Suddenly, she saw An Qingran's face, which was facing outwards darkened. She could not help but turn and saw Kang Wang, who was in a white dress, walking into the courtyard and coming towards this house.
An Qingran figured that if she closes the door at the moment, obviously it will show that she has grudges in her heart. What's more, she doesn't want to see him. But why was she so afraid of him?
If it were true, he laughed and said, "The girl looked good today. Ben Wang brought some tonics from home and is giving them to the girl…" He then handed the things to Rendong.
Rendong looked to An Qingran.
An Qingran smiled and said, "Thank you for Kang Wang's concern, but the body of the women is still passable. This tonic, this woman dare not accept!"
"It seems that you are disgusted." He smiled wickedly.
An Qingran looked at his appearance and felt sick for a while. She didn't understand what was wrong with herself in her previous life. She once liked to see his smile. At that time, she thought he was good at everything and was blind to his evil nature.
Now she is aware of how she can be confused by him couldn't help but say, "Kang Wang is blaming this ordinary woman. This woman dare not do it. The ancients once said that when the heavens come down with great responsibility, they will suffer hardships with resolution and hunger their stomach. I dare not assume any responsibility. I also dare not do anything careless when praying for the General's Fu. I believe that this is a major task for me, and that hunger and suffering will be regarded as the test of God and will not feel bitter. So please ask Kang Wang to take back all!"
Dongfang Ye heard the words and stayed stunned for a moment. It never occurred to him that the little girl could refuse a thousand miles away. It can also make people speechless!
Who did she learn it from?
It doesn't seem to come from a twelve-year-olds' mouth. Didn't she become elite?
But he doesn't think he has offended her. Where did she get such disgust?
She had been indifferent to him several times despite his efforts. Occasionally, hatred would show in her eyes. He could not understand it. He wanted to ask her for clarification, but he thought that she would not admit it, and there was no way to force it. Because of this, it convinced him that she is not a weak person at all!
Kang Wang replied with an embarrassed smile, "Since Miss An said so, I shouldn't be a sinner who isn't thankful. But Miss An's behaviour touched Xiao Wang. If there is any need of Xiao Wang's support, it will be given. Xiao Wang will not let Miss An be disappointed!"
"Women, remember…" An Qingran said with a slight smile on her face, proud and confident.
But he was not allowed to go in.
Kang Wang understood, said a few words then turned away.
Out of the courtyard, Kang Wang threw out the things in his hand, and the bird's nest broke. He looked at the snow-white debris as if it had fallen into ground. He was stunned for a moment. After looking around, there was no one to see it. He sighed in anger caused by her, even forgot to maintain the king's demeanour!
However, this gave him more and more ideas in mind. He was thinking evilly. When he gets her into his hands, don't believe that he wouldn't be able to punish her!
The next day.
Dongfang Ye came again. He asked the details of prayer for blessings and said that he was praying for Empress. In private, he also wanted to copy some Scriptures for his mother.
Such an excuse is really a good excuse.
An Qingran couldn't refuse, so she turned and went into the house. She wanted to send him a copy of her Heart Sutra so he can just copy it as it is. As a result, it was unexpected that Dongfang Ye without being invited entered. "This room is a little shabby. Is there something missing? I'll send someone to deliver it for you tomorrow…"
An Qingran turned around and saw that he was already sitting in his chair. It is not good to turn hostile and lose her reputation. Moreover, the crime of disrespecting Kang Wang is not small. After all, she's the General's daughter. It would be bad if he thought up some evil tricks to deal with Dad.
However, his evil deeds have not yet fully developed, and she can't pull him down. So she smiled and let Rendong bring the tea.
Dongfang Ye took a sip and frown: "Come, go and fetch my Yu Qian Longjing tea …"
The Imperial guard responded and left.
He then spoke again, "I don't think the tea tastes light, but it's just that this tea doesn't match Miss An's!"
An Qingran smiled and sat down, lifting the cup and gently sipping it. "It's the first time hearing that the tea is not worthy for people…however, this woman heard that Yu Qian Longjing tea are to have an audience with Emperor first. Presumably, in Wangye's hands, those things are rewarded by the Emperor. Then taking this kind of tea while showing the filial piety to sacred and compare it with women from an ordinary family. Wonder if this spreads out, what would others think of Wang Ye?"
Her voice is not high or low, but Dongfang Ye let out a cold sweat!
