The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou glanced at it indifferently, then suddenly stopped, her eyes suddenly widened, and she snatched the scroll fiercely.

There is a picture of a little girl's face with tears on it, and there is only one traditional Chinese character "十三" (Thirteen) at the end of the scroll.

Li Yuanrou's brain made a buzzing sound and her mind went blank for a moment. This was a painting of her when she was thirteen years old.

Thirteen years old...

She hasn't come to this world yet...

The boy snatched the scroll and rolled it up carefully while angrily scolding, "What are you trying to steal? If you break it, my brother will kill me!"

Li Yuanrou looked up at him in astonishment and said dully, "Your brother..."

The boy smiled and said proudly to himself: "Yes, my brother. Hehe, this time my brother will definitely praise me."

He looked up at Li Yuanrou, his eyes sparkling with light: "Do you think the person in the painting looks like you? It was painted by my brother, the person in his dream. Do you think this is fate? This shows that you two are destined to be together. You are a refugee from the north, right? You have nowhere to go anyway, so why not stay and be my brother's wife..."

He seemed to remember something, and his face was even more proud. He eagerly assured, "Don't worry, my brother is very handsome, he is good at literature and martial arts, he can make money, he can do everything. My brother is the person I admire most in my life. When he wakes up, I will take you to see him, you will definitely fall in love with him at first sight."

Li Yuanrou's brain came back to her senses. She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes reddened. She forced herself to be calm and asked, "Where is your brother? I want to see him now."

The young man was a little embarrassed: "Not now, my brother was injured and hasn't woken up yet."

Li Yuanrou took a deep breath.

He's rescued, that's good. Judging from the tone of the young man's voice, Xiao Luobai should be fine, at least his life is not in danger.

But she missed him, she wanted to see him, and she wanted to see him now.

She suppressed her sore eyes and deliberately provoked him: "I think you just don't dare. You said your brother is handsome. I think you are lying to me. You don't dare to let me see him. If he is so handsome, do you need to tie me up to be his wife? In fact, your brother is an ugly monster."

The young man was anxious and snorted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I didn't lie to you!"

Li Yuanrou snorted with disdain: "I think you are just like Wang Po selling melons, boasting about yourself."

The young man said anxiously, "I! I'll take you to see it now! I'll let you see if I have lied to you or not!"

After untying the ropes that bound her feet, Li Yuanrou followed him out.

The young man began to instruct Li Yuanrou: "My brother hasn't woken up yet, let's just take a look outside and come back, okay..."

Li Yuanrou looked at the osmanthus tree not far away, tried to squeeze her sour brows, and asked in silence: "Is this Chifeng Village?"

The young man suddenly remembered something and said in confusion, "Oh, I forgot to ask you, how do you know Chifeng Village? This place has long been renamed Guanyun Village."

Li Yuanrou was surprised. He actually changed his name?

Xiao Luobai didn't tell her...

She then straightened her expression and replied softly, "I passed by here once when I was young, so I know."

The boy suddenly realized: "Oh...I see, that's what I thought."

Li Yuanrou asked again: "Why is it called Guanyun Village?"

The boy replied: "My brother changed it to Guanyun Village. It sounds nice and has a very poetic meaning."

As soon as the young man mentioned his brother, he started talking incessantly. He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was showing off some invaluable treasure, and his words were full of smiles.

He pointed to a place in the distance and said, "My brother used to like to sit there and look out when he was bored. One time, I accompanied him to look, and we found that the scenery there was so beautiful. The clouds were so beautiful that I felt like I could catch them with my hand. It was like being in a fairyland. Do you understand? I guess it was because of this that my brother changed the name of this village to Guanyun Village."

He continued to talk tirelessly: "But my brother is sometimes like my master, talking nonsense. He insisted that there was a fairy on the other side of the clouds. I asked him if he had seen one, and he actually said that he had. I asked him why he hadn't seen one and asked him to let her come out so I could see her. My brother actually lied to me and said that the fairy was sick and couldn't come."

Li Yuanrou listened, and inexplicably felt soft in her heart. A fairy? Haha... He thought it was a beautiful thought... There was no fairy at all, only a useless Li Yuanrou like her...

He is the only one who thinks she is good...

Thinking of this, she secretly felt lucky. How wonderful and lucky she was that someone was willing to love her like this, to think she was perfect in every way, and even to compare her to an immortal...

Li Yuanrou's eyes suddenly started to ache again. How could she be so worthy of his favor? She was not as good as he thought...

The boy laughed to himself as he spoke. "Don't you think it's funny? My brother is so smart, but he can tell such a clumsy lie. Even a child wouldn't believe it. I think he was deliberately trying to trick me and tease me. He must think I'm annoying him again and wants to drive me away."

Li Yuanrou also laughed and said in a gentle voice: "It's a bit ridiculous."

The boy seemed to realize that he had said too much and said something bad about his brother, so he changed the topic and said, "Except for this, my brother is good in every way. He is perfect."

After the young man finished speaking, he turned to her and asked, "By the way, I just asked you, but you haven't answered me yet. What's your name? Where do you live? Do you have any relatives? Are you a refugee from the north?"

After asking, he introduced himself: "My name is He Yutian, you can just call me Xiaotian."

Li Yuanrou smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were filled with a soft smile: "I have no relatives, no one to rely on, and I will most likely stay in your Guanyun Village. You can call me sister-in-law."

Xiaotian looked at her with contempt, thinking that she was so arrogant. She called him sister-in-law, but we haven't even started dating yet. My brother might not even like you.

………………

Li Yuanrou stood by the window, looking at the person lying on the bed in the room. She frowned and her nose began to feel sore again.

She missed him and wanted to hug him right now...

Xiaotian stood beside her with his hands on his hips, and said arrogantly: "Did you see that? Isn't he very handsome?"

Li Yuanrou held back the tears in her eyes and said slowly: "I can't see clearly."

Suddenly she hurried to the side, pushed open the door and walked in quickly.

Xiaotian chased after her and scolded her in a low voice: "Hey, don't go in, my brother is still sick."

He spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people sleeping inside.

Li Yuanrou quickly paced to the bedside. The man on the bed was pale, his eyes were closed, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and a long and thin wound on his face was particularly prominent. But even so, Li Yuanrou still thought he was so handsome.

She still likes him so much, loves him so much.

Her nose felt sore and tears immediately filled her eyes.

She glanced down again and saw that Xiao Luobai had changed his clothes. She didn't know who changed his clothes, but he was wearing a bright red robe, just like the groom.
