On a sunny afternoon, Xiao Yuelan sat in the study, with ancient books and national records spread out in front of her.
Her brow furrowed and relaxed alternately, revealing her deep contemplation of academic knowledge and national affairs. She not only studied history, but also paid attention to the livelihood of the people, pondering how to improve the living standards of the common people through reform, and how to keep Liang Kindom stable and prosperous in this ever-changing world.
During this process, Xiao Yuelan continued to grow, and her intelligence and charm gradually emerged. She not only won the praise of nobles at home and abroad, but also attracted many talented young people.
However, her heart is like a tranquil lake, only those who truly touch her heartstrings can stir ripples, such as Gu Xiang.
In the deep palace of Liang Kindom, as time passes, Xiao Yuelan has become a graceful and beautiful woman. Her beauty and temperament increasingly resemble her mother Chao Qinglan, like a blooming flower in spring, attracting attention.
However, in Chao Qinglan's heart, she always held a cautious attitude towards the meeting of Sixth Uncle Xiao Hong and his daughter Xiao Yuelan. She worried that Xiao Hong's past behavior, which was not proper, might have an impact on Yuelan.
Previously, she arranged for someone close to Xiao Hong to mention that recently, Prince had favored a songstress. Normally, this kind of thing would be trivial, but according to the spy's report, the features of that songstress closely resembled hers.
This is a bit wrong. Chao Qinglan suddenly realized that Xiao Hong had different feelings for her, but it didn't matter much.
She was already married to Xiao Yan, and she had always treated him and his brothers as her own younger brothers since they were young.
The trouble is that her eldest daughter, Xiao Yuelan, is too much like herself. She fears that history will repeat itself with an affair between uncle and niece, forced by Xiao Hong. Chao Qinglan's worries are like an undercurrent beneath the blooming flowers, not easily noticed but enough to disturb the tranquility of the palace.
In the Liang Kindom palace, every little movement could turn into a Lan'er. She knew deeply that as the queen, every decision of hers needed careful consideration to protect her beloved daughter from the troubles of the world.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chao Qinglan decided to take precautions in advance. She secretly ordered trustworthy people in the palace to strengthen the protection of Xiao Yuelan, while also trying to keep Xiao Yuelan at a distance from Xiao Hong.
In addition, she also arranged some activities in the palace to divert Xiao Hong's attention and make her interested in other things, thus reducing her focus on Xiao Yuelan.
At the same time, Xiao Yuelan herself also felt the queen's unusual concern. Although she didn't fully understand the reasons behind it, she could feel her mother's love and protection.
One day, with the warm spring breeze, Prince Xiao Hong came to the palace full of anticipation, hoping to see his niece, Xiao Yuelan. However, every time he tried to approach her, he was always politely rejected by the palace guards with various reasons.
His heart was filled with helplessness and confusion. Meanwhile, in another part of the palace, Xiao Yuelan and her maid Xiaolian were strolling in the palace garden, enjoying the warmth of spring.
Xiao Yuelan moved gracefully, weaving through the flowers as if each one was telling her a story of spring. Xiaolian followed behind, sometimes reminding her mistress to watch her step on the stone path, and at other times echoing Xiao Yuelan's praise for the flowers.
At that moment, the voice of Prince Xiao Hong could be heard in the distance. He was arguing with a guard, attempting to see Xiao Yuelan. Xiao Lian quickly reacted, pulling Xiao Yuelan into a nearby dark alley to avoid Xiao Hong's gaze.
Xiao Yuelan's heart was filled with curiosity, but also mixed with a hint of unease. She asked Xiao Lian in a low voice, "Why do we need to avoid Sixth Uncle Xiao Hong?"
Xiao Lian replied softly, "Princess, the queen mother is worried that Sixth Uncle's past behavior may have a negative impact on you. For your safety, please avoid him for the time being."
Xiao Yuelan fell silent, a hint of contemplation flashing in her eyes. She nodded in understanding, but also felt a bit curious about this Sixth Uncle whom she had never met.
When the two were about to leave, Xiao Hong's voice came closer again. He seemed to sense Xiao Yuelan's presence, but ultimately missed the chance to meet.
That night, Chao Qinglan sat facing Xiao Yuelan in the palace study, with moonlight streaming through the window lattice onto them, casting a warm light and shadow.
Chao Qinglan spoke softly, " Yuelan, regarding today's matter, the Empress does not completely distrust your Sixth Uncle, but in the palace, every step must be taken with caution. Your mother will have a plan for your Sixth Uncle's situation."
Xiao Yuelan listened to her mother's words and gradually understood Chao Qinglan's intentions. She nodded slightly, "Mother, I understand. I will be more careful and will also work hard to study, not to disappoint your expectations."
In the deep palace of Liang Kindom, as time passes, the spring is in full swing, and the flowers in the garden are blooming, as if they are specially dressed to welcome the upcoming new chapter. Prince Xiao Hong's astonishment has become an unavoidable sight in the court.
Prince Xiao Hong has been filled with doubts and confusion ever since he was unable to meet his niece Xiao Yuelan in the palace. In his eyes, Yuelan was just the ignorant little girl from his memory, but now she has become a stunning beauty, bearing a striking resemblance to her mother Chao Qinglan.
One night after a banquet, Xiao Hong gathered with a few close friends. In a tipsy state, one friend inadvertently mentioned the deep friendship between Xiao Yuelan and Gu Xiang, as well as her current unparalleled beauty. Xiao Hong was shocked to the core upon hearing this. He had always thought that the distance between him and Yuelan was due to Chao Qinglan's disapproval of his behavior, never realizing that time had quietly transformed Yuelan into a stunning beauty.
After the banquet dispersed and everyone left, Xiao Hong sat alone in the study, deeply immersed in contemplation. He reflected on his past actions and couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret. He decided that from now on, he would change himself, no longer the unrestrained prince, but instead become an uncle worthy of Chao Qinglan's trust and able to enter Yuelan's life.
So, Xiao Hong began his journey of transformation. He reduced his outings, started studying books, and learned the wisdom of governing a country. At the same time, he also tried various channels to understand Xiao Yuelan's preferences and interests, hoping to find an opportunity to communicate with her.
One day, in the beautiful spring weather, Xiao Hong purposely went to the palace garden, hoping to coincidentally encounter Xiao Yuelan. As he wandered through the flowers, admiring each delicate blossom, he suddenly heard a pleasant laughter.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yuelan playing with several maids in the other part of the garden.
Xiao Hong felt a surge of emotions when he saw Xiao Yuelan. In the sunlight, her figure seemed to step out of a painting, every movement filled with grace and vitality.
Xiao Yuelan's smile, a purity and beauty that Xiao Hong hadn't seen in a long time, stirred ripples in his heart.
Unconsciously, his soul seemed to have flown away, and he forgot to go forward and greet them. He just watched as Xiao Yuelan and her maid gradually walked away. At that moment, Xiao Hong felt a mix of complex emotions: regret, envy, and an indescribable sadness.
He couldn't help but slap himself, then quickly left.
The distant Queen of Qinglan noticed this and couldn't help but pinch her skirt and clench her fists.
"If this continues, the situation will become serious, and history may repeat itself. It is necessary for Yuelan to marry Gu Xiang as soon as possible. Even if the other party is not from a clan or royal family, it doesn't matter as long as it can keep Yuelan safe."
