Chapter Seventy-Seven: Jealousy One
Man Yue, who was sipping tea with her head down, felt two clear eyes looking towards her, and unconsciously raised her head to meet Lin Jian's leisurely gaze.
Lin Jian raised the wine glass in her hand and shook it towards the full moon. Her eyes conveyed to her the feeling of a long-lost reunion.
Look at each other and understand each other.
It was she who saved his life in the cave at the back of the Hou Mansion.
Man Yue glanced at Lin Jian faintly, and shook the white jade cup in her hand perfunctorily, with an indifferent expression on her face.
Lin Jian's mouth twitched and her eyebrows raised.
If it had been before, he might have been angry, but today she was full of anger, and now he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
Lin Jian opened her thin lips lightly and said to the full moon with her lips,
"Today's hairpin is not as beautiful as the original one."
The next moment, Man Yue's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she had the urge to hit Lin Jian's head with the cup in her hand.
Does he still have the nerve to wear hairpins?
I don’t know who took her favorite hairpin from the Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night and refused to return it to her! He was obviously the prince of the dynasty, and he had never seen any rare treasures, but he took her hairpin with cheap hands!
The full moon's face turns dark, don't look anywhere else.
With a puff, Lin Jian couldn't help laughing.
The voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough to attract both the Queen Mother and the Empress to look in his direction.
The Queen Mother frowned, a little unhappy.
On such a solemn occasion today, why is this prince smiling inexplicably? How is it appropriate?
The Queen Mother couldn't help turning her head to look at the Queen. The Queen's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word. In her heart, she was secretly blaming Lin Jian for not behaving well in front of the Queen Mother. It was all about Linghu Pingxue's skill. Why was he smiling?
Lin Jian's laughter naturally attracted the attention of a certain man sitting opposite him.
The wine glass in a certain man's hand tilted without warning, and a few drops of wine spilled out.
"Your Highness, wine-" Behind Lin Dongyao, Nian Zheng reminded him carefully, but he didn't dare to say it clearly. His Highness today is really a little abnormal. From the moment he entered the hall, there was a cold and icy aura all over his body.
It gives people a chilling feeling.
Although the Fifth Highness usually has such a cold temperament, today he is even better than before.
Nian Zheng was even more surprised when he saw Lin Dongyao spilling a few drops of wine from the wine glass he was holding.
His Majesty the Fifth Prince is always calm, what happened today?
Following Lin Dongyao's eyes, Nian Zheng was startled when he saw that what Lin Dongyao was looking at was not Linghu Pingxue playing the piano in the center of the hall, but the inconspicuous Linghu Full Moon in the corner.
Bang!
There was a sound that was neither light nor heavy. It was the sound of Lin Dongyao putting down his wine glass.
But this sound had an inexplicably oppressive and desolate aura, and Nian Zheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The Fifth Highness is so unusual today. Is it because Linghu is full moon?
Could it be that His Highness likes——
Nian Zheng was shocked and did not dare to continue thinking about it.
His Highness the Fifth never allowed anyone to speculate on his thoughts, and they, as subordinates, did not have the guts to speculate.
After laughing, Lin Jian glanced at Lin Dongyao opposite, who put down his wine glass with a frosty look on his face. Lin Jian's eyes turned away to look at Linghu Man Yue, but there was a hint of crisis in her eyes.
——
In the center of the hall, Linghu Pingxue finished playing a song, and Lin Donghe stopped his sword moves just in time. The coordination between the two seemed to be flawless, and it was not like the first piano and sword ensemble at all.
Concubine Jin couldn't help but stand up and shout for her son again,
Chapter completed!
