Oranges naturally grow well.
The Orange who was wandering around when she was young looks completely different from the Orange who has grown into a grown-up girl now.
Especially her naturally tender skin, which is pink and white as if carved from soft jade, giving people the feeling that water will come out if touched.
Her facial features are also outstanding. Xu Tianran has seen many beauties of the time. If he were to give a score to all the beauties he has seen, Orange would get 85 points. With her delicate skin, it could reach more than 90 points.
Xu Tianran was not very lustful, but he chose her to be the queen in his previous life because, firstly, she had taken the knife for him when the palace was attacked, so she was trustworthy; secondly, he thought that her dignified beauty qualified her to be the Queen Mother of the Sun and Moon.
However, in this life, he easily resolved the attack on the palace. He had just returned at that time, and she was not allowed to enter the palace to congratulate him in those few days, so the incident of her taking the blame for him naturally did not happen again.
Xu Tianran gently pushed open the door of the laboratory. Several researchers who were not doing experiments looked up at the sound and saw a face they had never seen before. The clothes were incompatible with the uniform of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy. He was wearing a brocade cloud robe and equestrian boots. His long black hair was tied up with a golden hairpin. His handsome face was obviously beyond the scope of a graduate, but not yet up to the age of a teacher.
Xu Tianran glanced around, nodded slightly to the others in the room, and walked towards Orange, who was concentrating on an experiment on a table in the innermost room.
His calm and composed look intimidated many people, so even though they felt something was wrong, no one stepped forward to stop him or question him.
Just when Xu Tianran was about to come within five steps of the most beautiful, youngest and most talented female researcher in the entire laboratory, another female researcher finally came out.
The female researcher was petite, only about 1.6 meters tall, but her palm-sized face had eyes that were fierce and fierce, revealing a fierce look. She stood vigilantly in front of Orange who was concentrating on the experiment.
The latter was concentrating on carving a core magic circle.
It seemed that the intrusion of the petite girl's shadow disturbed Orange at the most critical moment. The silk collar fixed by two machine clamps on the laboratory table emitted a puff of black smoke, and after a crackling sound, it was scrapped.
The beautiful researcher with an excellent face looked up angrily and immediately glared at her roommate and good friend, "Keke! Didn't I tell you not to come within three steps of me when I'm busy?"
The petite girl let out a cry, turned around and apologized with a bitter face. It was obviously not the first time that she had meant well but ended up with something bad.
Xu Tianran was very interested and was not embarrassed or angry about this little offense. He found it interesting to see the playful scenes between Juzi and her friends. Whether she was before the age of sixteen or after the age of eighteen, she was completely different from this coquettish look.
Three personalities, three kinds of lives.
Orange finally saw the tall figure behind her good friend. Her body trembled and a variety of emotions flashed across her face, finally settling on surprise and excitement.
She gently pushed her best friend aside, removed her goggles and protective hood, and began to bow. "Greetings to the Crown Prince... No, no, His Majesty the Emperor."
Her voice was not small, Ke Ke heard it, and several people around who pricked up their ears and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation between the most beautiful woman in the laboratory and the stranger also heard it.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Xu Tianran said directly to Juzi: "Want to go out for a walk?"
When the emperor spoke to others, his tone was neither inquiring nor negotiating. Orange had long understood the ways of the palace, so he immediately put down his carving knife, took off his lab coat and changed into casual clothes.
Before others gathered around, Xu Tianran glanced around with a calm gaze, stopping everyone in their tracks. The two of them walked out of the laboratory smoothly, out of the building, and strolled on one of the many Wutong paths in the Royal Academy.
Because the Royal Academy is located in the north, many tall trees are planted along the roadsides. The Chinese parasol trees and the sycamore trees are two of them. They are lined up on both sides of the aisle. In autumn, the aisles are golden and brilliant.
Orange followed the man in front of her half a step behind, feeling uneasy and nervous, but also happy and excited.
The eldest prince... His Majesty the Emperor was her savior, who provided her with a favorable study environment and resources. Even if it was just a casual mercy from him, it was a great warmth that came to her when she had lost all her family and was in distress due to disaster. Without the people before her, even if she didn't freeze to death or starve to death on the streets, she would not have had the opportunity to study in this world's number one soul guide academy.
Life is about being practical. No matter how friendly the imperial education is to civilians, it cannot benefit everyone without any omissions. Back then, she was just a homeless child with nothing, a twelve-year-old beggar who had lost even her identity card and was struggling to find food. How could she have imagined that she would become the closed disciple of a top-level eighth-level soul master today?
She was displaced because of the war, but the responsibility could not be blamed on the emperor who was just a prince at the time. When Juzi grew up, she understood that a country is made up of hundreds of millions of people, and nobles, high-ranking officials, and military officers would not strictly abide by national policies and systems.
No matter how excellent a country's policies and social system are, there will always be rotten corners; her family was killed by corrupt local officials and military officers who were ignored by the court, not by this great country.
No matter how powerful a country is, it cannot make everyone kind.
Orange asked tentatively: "Your Majesty...why are you here?"
She really wanted to hear the person in front of her say that he came for her;
A month ago, Juzi plucked up the courage to send him a letter, hoping to go to the palace to congratulate him on the crown prince ceremony. However, the letter fell on deaf ears, and later rumors spread that a bloody coup had taken place in the palace, and many people died on the spot, and many were subsequently executed.
Her benefactor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, skipped the Crown Prince stage and ascended the throne.
This time, no matter how many letters she sent, requesting to visit the palace, the palace, whose defenses had been significantly strengthened and had become as iron-clad as an iron barrel, ruthlessly rejected her extravagant hopes.
Xu Tianran had no idea that her heart was experiencing an ups and downs of emotions that were as exciting as a drama, and he just nodded lightly.
"I'm passing by on business and want to see you."
Even though he only heard a casual "passing by", Orange still couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.
This was something the eldest prince had never done before, but no one expected that he would do it after becoming emperor.
The melancholy that was wrapped around the girl's brow could not help but disappear at this moment!
It was exciting enough that the eldest prince, who was kind and benevolent in her mind and the Sun Emperor in the eyes of the people, would bother about someone.
Orange couldn't help but curl her eyebrows and look at the emperor whose image was becoming more and more concrete.
No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, she is deeply moved by this man's concern.
Even if it's just for a small visit.
