Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless
Chapter 445 Shelter from the Rain
The Sixth Prince hadn't insisted on revealing these secrets between his parents; he merely revealed a few details to Wang Shuren, warning him to retreat and exercise caution in his words and actions. Unexpectedly, one day soon after, this matter was manipulated, nearly costing Wang Shuren his life and nearly costing the Dasheng Dynasty its Queen Mother.
Lan Qingwu really loves the blooming sea of flowers. It not only symbolizes the Emperor Shenwu's love for her, but also holds the most beautiful memories of her and Lan Yan.
In the afternoon, Lan Qingwu collected some flower petals from the blooming sea of flowers. Some of these colorful petals can be used to make dew, and some can be eaten as snacks.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, it began to drizzle. The palace servants surrounded Lan Qingwu and hid under a tall flower tree. Lan Qingwu looked at the light rain falling from the sky and said, "It was sunny this morning, but I didn't expect the weather to change so suddenly."
Ru Han said, "My Lady, it's a good thing it's just a light rain! I don't think it will get too heavy."
Lan Qingwu shook his head: "Only a lingering drizzle can moisten the earth. After a downpour, all the moisture will evaporate."
After parting ways with the Sixth Prince, Wang Shuren didn't go far. He wandered aimlessly through the blossoming sea, seemingly endless. His usually gentle and resolute eyes were now empty. The attendant behind him silently held an umbrella for Wang Shuren and followed closely in his steps.
When Wang Shuren saw Lan Qingwu taking shelter from the rain under the flower tree, he was stunned for a moment. He no longer cared about anything else, took the ink umbrella from the servant and walked forward.
The blossoming trees couldn't hide a few people, so Lan Qingwu had already ordered a dozen palace maids to disperse and take shelter under the blossoming trees. Therefore, only Ru Ping and Ru Han were with her.
When the elegant ink umbrella covered Lan Qingwu's head, she was stunned for a moment. She turned around and smiled, but when she saw who it was, the smile on her lips immediately faded: "Brother Heng... cousin, it's you!"
Wang Shuren couldn't help but tighten his grip on the umbrella handle. "May the Empress be blessed with good health! Why didn't anyone prepare any rain gear for your journey?"
Ru Ping stepped forward quickly and said, "It was a clear morning, so I didn't prepare any rain gear. A guard has just gone to the front to ask for help and will be back soon. Lord Wang, please hand me the umbrella!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Shuren lost his usual cautious composure and said blankly, "Empress, please allow me to hold an umbrella for you just this once!"
Ru Ping was also a little stunned. She wanted to reach out her hand, but she heard a low voice: "Let me hold the umbrella for my mother!"
Lan Qingwu turned around and saw the Sixth Prince approaching them from a distance, holding an ink umbrella. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you here too? Isn't there a place to stay in the inner area of Qiling Mountain?"
The Sixth Prince came over with a smile, and Lan Qingwu said again: "There's nothing wrong here, Queen Mother. Your uncle happens to be here."
The Sixth Prince's umbrella replaced Wang Shuren's umbrella to cover Lan Qingwu. Wang Shuren retreated step by step until he was seven or eight steps away. He had never been so close to Lan Qingwu in all these years, but in the end he still had to move away step by step, and even farther and farther away.
The Sixth Prince glanced at the retreating Wang Shuren and said, "I just came back from hunting, thinking that the Queen Mother would definitely come here to collect flower petals, so I volunteered to come here. It's better not to trouble you, Uncle. I'll leave the Queen Mother here to me."
"...Yes!" Wang Shuren lowered his head slightly, watching the Sixth Prince escort Lan Qingwu away from here step by step.
The drizzle was still falling, wet and sticky, just like Wang Shuren's irritable and melancholy mood.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince, who was far away in the imperial mausoleum, was also feeling irritated. The Fourth Prince was proud and arrogant. When he accidentally heard that the extra share was sent by the Sixth Prince, his face darkened. He felt that the Sixth Prince was mocking him, but also felt that the Sixth Prince was not paying New Year's greetings to the chickens, with ulterior motives. How could Zhou Chengchen, the high and mighty prince, have such leisure? Would he be plotting something? Taking this opportunity to avenge his mother?
The Fourth Prince knew that his father had already exiled and abandoned him. Even if something happened to him in the imperial mausoleum, Emperor Shenwu would probably not be moved in the slightest.
The Fourth Prince was too suspicious and sealed up most of the things sent to him and did not dare to use them. He was thinking about many conspiracies and tricks of the Sixth Prince against him in his mind. He was overthinking and anxious all day long, and within half a month, he quickly lost weight.
That night, Emperor Shenwu mentioned that he was planning to arrange another marriage for Prince An. "The legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank local official has been delayed for several years due to mourning, so it is not a disgrace to him. By granting the marriage, I can also put an end to the worries of the Queen Mother."
Lan Qingwu nestled comfortably in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor. She was slightly stunned when she heard this: "But the Queen Mother doesn't even look down on the noble ladies in the Imperial City..."
"That was before. Queen Mother struggled for years, but to no avail. In recent months, she finally recognized the truth, and I took charge. I have no other expectations. Just don't cause me any more trouble!"
The Shenwu Emperor played with Lan Qingwu's long black hair with his big hand: "We will return in two days."
Lan Qingwu came back to his senses from his daze, "How fast! Qiling Mountain is truly magical, seemingly endless, with exotic flowers and plants, birds and beasts, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and almost everything. I just don't know when I can come here again."
Emperor Shenwu comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll bring Ruo Ruo with me anytime."
Emperor Shenwu embraced Lan Qingwu from behind. "You gave birth to a good son for me. That grassland envoy had ill intentions and provoked our Dasheng Dynasty. He was severely injured by our Sixth Prince and has been hiding in his shell for the past few days and dared not stand out again!"
Lan Qingwu also asked You Rongyan, "What's going on? I heard that Chu Ming shot down ten eagles with just two arrows. Even the grassland envoy Shu Ying didn't dare to look directly at the Sixth Prince."
