Chapter 30
Chapter 30
Zheng Ran'er had a dream.
At the age of seven, seeing her mother neglecting her by taking care of her newborn brother, she got angry and ran out.
When I came back, everything changed.
She saw her mother's palace collapsed in raging fire, and people around her screamed and ran in panic.
She burst into tears.Although she didn't understand what happened, she had a faint feeling that she would never see her mother and brother again.
She hoped that her guess was not true, and with a glimmer of hope, she went to seek confirmation from her father, but unexpectedly, her father never saw her again.
The elder brother was gentle and considerate to her in front of people, but he ridiculed her and her mother behind him, saying that it was God punishing them.
The young Zheng Ran'er didn't know what she had done wrong. It seemed that everyone had abandoned her overnight.
She was seriously ill.
After recovering from her illness, she suddenly had a cognition.
She told herself that others abandon you because you are not worthy of being loved by others.If you don't expect, you won't be disappointed.
Gradually, she subconsciously flattered the people around her, not daring to make demands or express herself.
Later, Xun Yi appeared.
She will support her gently when she is upset; when she denies herself, she will seriously refute her.
She no longer has to struggle alone.
very nice.
Zheng Ran'er woke up crying.
Xun Yi also woke up, touched her head, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I had a nightmare." Zheng Ran'er snuggled into Xun Yi's arms and whispered, "I dreamed about the past."
"But it's all over." After a while, she smiled with relief, "I'm fine."
Xun Yi turned sideways to make Zheng Ran'er lie down more comfortably.The two warmed each other, listening to each other's heartbeat, neither of them spoke.
The maid outside the door knocked on the door, "Princess, son-in-law, it's getting late, and I have to enter the palace to answer later. The servant girl has prepared the washing utensils, you can call me anytime."
Xun Yi sighed regretfully, got up and dressed.Zheng Ran'er wasn't warm enough yet, and she was too embarrassed to drag Xun Yi into bed with her, so she had to wrap up in the small quilt tightly and take the time to feel Xun Yi's residual warmth.
Xun Yi saw Zheng Ran'er nestled on the bed with a look of reluctance, smiled and pushed her, and approached mysteriously: "Get up, I still have something to give you."
Sure enough, Zheng Ran'er regained her energy immediately, dressed in a hurry, and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Xun Yi purposely hung his appetite and called the palace maid in first.After the two finished washing, she took out a small box under Zheng Ran'er's urging eyes.
Zheng Ran'er took it and opened it.
In the box is a flower.
"Luozhen flower. I remember that you wanted to see it at that time." Xun Yi explained, "Although it was a marriage gift from the emperor, I thought that I should do something to express my sincerity, so I thought I'll pick one to give you. It's just that the season is wrong, and it took me a while, but fortunately I got back in time."
She smiled, "But these flowers don't attract butterflies. If you want to see butterflies, I'll pick some seeds and plant them in the yard. When summer comes, they will attract butterflies."
"You...you are so kind!" Zheng Ran'er was moved to tears, and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she simply hugged Xun Yi tightly.
After a while, she took a deep breath, raised her head expectantly and timidly: "I want to kiss you."
Xun Yi followed kindly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and closed his eyes, "Princess, please."
boo.
The palace ladies who watched the whole process said they didn't see it!
These two people act like no one else, it's too harmful!She no longer takes the morning shift!
Fortunately, Xun Yi kept the time in mind, and without delay, he dragged Zheng Ran'er into the carriage.
"But it seems much more cheerful." Xun Yi casually played with a strand of hair by her ear.
Zheng Ran'er blushed, "Because I figured it out, Yiyi is a person who can deliver what's on my mind. So I won't hide from you what I think or do in the future."
"Even if I'm not perfect in front of you, you won't despise me like other people." She sighed and leaned on Xun Yi's shoulder, "It's been so long that I can see your mind clearly."
Xun Yi smiled and patted her head, "It's not too late, the time is just right."
Three months later, the still bookstore opened.
The novel written by Zheng Ran'er was also printed and released simultaneously.
At first, Zheng Ran'er was very worried about receiving bad reviews, but with Xun Yi's comfort, she also looked away.
Even if 99 out of a hundred don't like it, isn't there still one reader who likes it?Besides, she didn't write books for profit, but to express her inner feelings.
Unexpectedly, after the sale, I really gained a small wave of novel readers.After discussing with Xun Yi, Zheng Ran'er decided to donate all the income to the bookstore to help poor scholars.
Two years later, the emperor died of illness, and the fourth prince who had been named the prince successfully ascended the throne.Seeing that there was no turning point, the second prince wanted to burn the boat.Just when the third prince died of illness, he set up an ambush at the funeral, trying to force the palace.
The forces supporting the Second Prince had no choice but to bite the bullet and plot rebellion with him.The capital was in chaos for a while, and many people were implicated and lost their lives.
Fortunately, the turmoil was quickly quelled by the fourth prince.
But everyone found that the princess and the son-in-law had disappeared, and they probably died in the chaos.
Half a year later, the new emperor ordered to stop the search and build a commemorative tomb for the two, which can be regarded as a certification that the princess and the son-in-law are no longer alive.
At this time, Xun Yi has put back on her female attire, and is boating on the lake with Zheng Ran'er.
"...The two of them came to rest by the lake. Suddenly, ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, and a water monster rushed out—" Zheng Ran'er bit the pen holder, frowning slightly, "What does the water monster look like?" OK?"
"How about an octopus?" Xun Yi lay half-lying, and took off a lotus leaf to cover his face to block the sun.
Zheng Ran'er thought about it, and jumped over happily.The boat swayed violently, Xun Yi quickly got up and supported Zheng Ran'er to prevent her from falling.
"Yiyi, you are so amazing! You can always think of it all at once!" Zheng Ran'er excitedly kissed Xun Yi, "I want an octopus! It's slimy, has suckers and tentacles, and has a flexible body." She was full of inspiration, Talking to himself for a while, he immediately lowered his head and wrote, "A giant octopus monster with tentacles about five or six feet long..."
Zheng Ran'er's novels have gradually become popular in niche circles because of the addition of many inspirations from Western monsters proposed by Xun Yi. Not only has a fixed audience, but many people have begun to imitate the original monster-themed stories.Zheng Ran'er is also happy to communicate with her colleagues.But she only answered letters, never showed up, and was very mysterious.
Another point that distinguishes her from ordinary stories is that the protagonists of each story are two women.Some readers protested, but naturally they were ignored.Over time, everyone felt that this was her style.
A few years later, Zheng Ran'er revealed that she was a woman in the preface of her new book, which caused an uproar even more.
Over the past few decades, her books are no longer updated, but the monster culture she created has indeed been passed down.
No one knows who she is, but her legend will always be circulated in the world.
