The female supporting role is crazy about the male lead

looks like?

Xia Ran looked at the woman in front of him who was tenderly clinging to the emperor's arm, and was smiling at the emperor with her head tilted upwards, her eyes soft and charming.

This Concubine Bai also had a seductive appearance, but not as striking as Empress Dowager Su. Instead, she was charming in a subtle and natural way.

And that person, Xia Ran turned off the Eye of Truth and saw the man who was listening carefully to the Queen Mother's words with only one side of his face showing. Haha, they are quite similar.

After everyone entered the villa, they went to their own courtyards to settle down and rest. The first show would be in the evening.

Xia Ran's yard is in the southeast corner, next to the Green Lake in the villa.

In early autumn, when the summer heat subsides, the lotus leaves are still blooming in large numbers, full of vitality. The green leaves are waving, and occasionally the delicate and beautiful lotus flowers are faintly visible among them, creating a picturesque scenery.

Xia Ran was sitting by the window admiring the lotus and eating melon seeds. She asked the woman lying on her bed, "Third Princess, don't you have your own courtyard?"

"The location is much better than mine."

The emperor arranged for the third princess, his favorite daughter, to live right next to him. It can be said that whatever the emperor used, the third princess also used.

Her conditions are much better than hers. I really don't know why she is still running to her.

When this was mentioned, the girl on the bed turned over irritably, "Don't mention it, my father is completely fascinated by that Baipin anyway."

"How can you care about me when she's here?"

"I live in their yard. When I look up, I can see them being affectionate with each other. I really can't live there."

Concubine Bai really has some means. She has never seen her father being so obsessed with a woman.

"But your place is different," the girl turned around again, propped up her head with her hands and looked at her, "You only have Yun Shuang'er and the other two living next to you. It's much happier to see them."

"What do you mean?" Xia Ran asked puzzledly.

"Because every time I see Yun Shuang'er being scolded by Yue Yushu, it reminds me of how you looked when he scolded you at home and you didn't dare to say a word."

Yun Yu was grinning.

"Go to hell." Xia Ran threw a fruit at her and cursed with a smile.

In the evening, until everyone finished their meal, everyone was relatively peaceful and harmonious.

However, at the dinner table, she felt that the Baipin's gaze was always vaguely cast towards Ye Ji, which made her a little unhappy.

When the sky became completely dark, the "Iron Tree and Silver Flowers" specially arranged by Yue Yushu began.

A group of middle-aged men wearing sheepskin coats and bamboo hats entered one by one.

Ancient music played, the rhythm of the music was majestic and radical. The master inserted a long wooden spoon into the molten iron, making a "huffing and puffing" sound.

Then, the master raised his hand with great force and poured the boiling molten iron onto the stone wall.

The splashing water droplets instantly turned into gorgeous golden sparks, spreading down in an enormous manner.

Before the sparks fell to the ground, the chef threw the next spoonful into the air with different strengths and angles.

Spoonful after spoonful, the molten iron cracked above his head, and the iron flowers shot straight into the sky, cutting through the navy blue sky like meteors, fleeting and dazzling.

Xia Ran was also deeply shocked by this magnificent scene.

"Xia Ran, you are so beautiful." The third princess was standing beside her in amazement, already intoxicated.

"Yes, it's so beautiful." Xia Ran couldn't hide the amazement in her eyes, but her gaze was directed at the man who was looking at her among those brilliant silver flowers.

All the noise faded away, and the two looked at each other in the fireworks, with the still blooming sparks shining in their pupils.

Her heart was beating like a drum.

"Aji, what are you looking at?" Queen Mother Su stood in front of Ye Ji who was standing there in a daze, turned around and looked in the direction the man was looking. She didn't see anything special, but people who were watching the iron flower making bustlingly.

But she instinctively caught the woman, Xia Ran, who was still chatting and laughing with the third princess.

Empress Dowager Su's smile gradually faded.

Baipin, who had glanced at them from a distance, withdrew her gaze and continued to talk with the emperor beside her.

“Iron Tree and Silver Flower” came to an end, but everyone was still not satisfied.

However, at this moment, something strange happened. The man who had been pouring molten iron just now lifted up his jacket and revealed two long swords.

At the same time, a number of men in black suddenly jumped out from all around the yard, rushing towards them with ferocious looks.

"Protect the emperor!" The guards brought from the palace drew the long swords at their waists and fought hard with the men in black.

The martial arts that Xia Ran and Yun Yu learned were good enough to deal with thugs, but they were immediately at a disadvantage when facing these well-prepared professional killers.

Not to mention, the two of them not only had to protect themselves, but also had to protect Yun Shuang'er who was thrown over by Yue Yushu.

"Royal sister, Ranran, I'm so scared, you have to save me." Yun Shuang'er curled up between the two of them, her eyes full of tears.

Yun Yu barely managed to pull her away from the knife and angrily shouted at the woman squatting on the ground: "I told you to hide to the side, don't you know how dangerous it is here?"

In this situation, he only knew how to pull her and Xia Ran's clothes. What an idiot.

Yun Shuang'er felt really aggrieved. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak.

Fortunately, the guards who arrived after hearing the news arrived in time, and the assassins were all wiped out in a short while.

Yue Yushu put away his knife and walked over. Yun Shuang'er immediately threw herself into his arms, "Wuwuwu Yushu, I'm so scared."

The man comforted the woman in his arms for a while, then turned his gaze to Xia Ran, his eyes moved a little, and he said sincerely: "Xia Ran, thank you."

It was the two of them who had wronged her, but when it came to the critical moment of life and death, she was still willing to help them. This was truly the open-minded and magnanimous character of a gentleman.

Xia Ran didn't care and dropped the sword in his hand. "No need to thank me. In the future..."

Before he could finish his words, Yun Yu exclaimed, "Xia Ran! Be careful!"

Xia Ran saw the approaching cold sword in Yue Yushu's dilated pupils.

Yue Yushu and Yun Yu both wanted to take action, but someone was faster than them.

A hand grabbed Xia Ran's waist tightly and pulled her hard. She smelled a familiar scent and the man she was leaning against had his chest muscles flexed. Then she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. The assassin who wanted to ambush Xia Ran was kicked to the ground.

The assassin on the ground had his neck twisted unnaturally in a strange posture and was already silent.

"Aji, you..." Queen Mother Su, who came rushing over, was full of astonishment.

Xia Ran stepped back first and saluted Ye Ji, "Thank you, Master Ji, for your help."

Then he bowed slightly to Empress Dowager Su and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager Su."

The woman's posture of bending and bowing was standard and dignified, and her expression was respectful and polite, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Emperor Yunchao came over with Concubine Bai.

"Xia Ran, are you injured anywhere else?" he asked Xia Ran.

Xia Ran shook his head, and the emperor laughed, "Then this time it's all thanks to the Queen Mother's Master Ji."
