Su Taoyao just moved into the backyard of Ling Mansion. Xiao Yan and Xiao He, who were originally serving her, were also taken over from Jizhao'an to serve her specially.
The days in the General's Mansion were peaceful and beautiful.
Although Su Taoyao told Ling Fei that she wanted to go out to play, she almost never left home. She rarely even went out to her own yard. She spent most of her time in her room, looking around.
Various travel notes, and some free time to cook some food.
Ling Fei also discovered this, so he specially collected all kinds of interesting travel notes and brought them back to her. He also vacated the entire kitchen of Ling's house and left them completely under Su Taoyao's command.
After the spring hunting ended and spring officially started, Ling Fei also started to get busy.
The competition between the crown prince and the third prince became more and more obvious and fierce.
To be honest, the prince is really not the most suitable person to be an emperor. He is too indecisive on many things and his ears are soft.
If the emperor hadn't favored the prince, was wary of the factions in the court behind the third prince, and had given more support to the prince, the prince would never have been the third prince's opponent.
Originally, the prince had always been suppressed by the third prince and was in a weak position, but now that the third prince has the help of Ling Fei, he often has divine help in doing things. In just half a year, he has reversed his decline and is now able to serve in the court.
We are fighting against the Third Prince's faction.
The third prince and Prime Minister Su Zuo were forced to panic, and they resorted to many tricks overtly and covertly. The prince relied on Ling Fei again, so he became even more busy during this period.
Ling Fei was often busy in the Crown Prince's womb until late at night, and the first thing he would do after returning home was run to Su Taoyao's yard.
And every day, no matter how late it is, a lamp will be left in Su Taoyao's yard.
Several times, Ling Fei came back from work until early in the morning. The lights were still on in Su Taoyao's yard, but she had already fallen asleep, lying on her side on a couch with a book in her hand.
Often Xiaoyan would tell him: "The dinner is still hot in the kitchen. It was made by Miss Su. Today it is a new style made by Miss Su. I didn't wait for you to come back to eat, so I helped you warm it up in the kitchen."
Xiaoyan is a very observant and eloquent person.
When she saw Miss Su being cold to Ling Fei, she was actually worried, fearing that such a good master as Miss Su would be abandoned and sent back to Ji Zhao An to live a miserable life.
So Xiao Yan would often say to Ling Fei: "Young Master Ling, please don't look at Miss Su who seems to be very cold to you. In fact, Miss Su is thinking about you in her heart.
Otherwise, why would she wait until you come home to turn off the light every night?
Every time she makes a new dish, she will wait for you to come back to eat it. Until you come back, she will have to heat up a portion for you, so Miss Su must have you in her heart!"
Ling Fei had no emotion or expression on his face, but his heart was so happy.
He knew that someone like Su Taoyao knew that she was a very clear-cut person between love and hate after getting along with her for a long time. How could he not see the sincerity he gave every day?
She must be happy in her heart, but she just doesn't say it with her mouth.
One day, Ling Fei rarely had time to stay at home all day, so he summoned tools and materials, and made a soft bed for Su Taoyao under the two strongest peach trees in the yard.
On such days when the wind is sunny and the temperature is comfortable, she can read her favorite travel notes on the soft bed in the yard. On such days, just thinking about them makes her feel comfortable.
Su Taoyao really liked this swing, and she basically lay on the soft bed and read a book.
Several times when Ling Fei came back late, he saw Su Taoyao sleeping soundly with a thin blanket wrapped around her body.
Whenever this happens, he will take her back to the house to sleep.
At first, Su Taoyao would wake up with a start and was not very willing to let him hold her, but later on, she got used to it more often.
Maybe he would wake up when he was hugged, and after seeing it was Ling Fei, he would rub his eyes and fall asleep again.
Ling Fei is not used to such beautiful times, which are often so beautiful.
He often wonders if this is a beautiful dream, and after waking up from the dream, there will be nothing.
Only by holding Su Taoyao tightly can you feel real again.
On this day, Su Taoyao was sitting leisurely on the soft bed in the yard, pretending to read travel notes, but in fact, she was watching the latest interstellar movie played by the slag removal system in her mind.
Just as he was watching with great interest, he heard the slag removal system sigh and ask: "You have lived in Ling Mansion for five months, and you live such a shameless life with him every day.
I feel that the relationship between you two is harmonious enough, but why is Ling Fei’s favorability level for you stuck at ninety and unable to go up?"
Su Taoyao said casually while watching the special effects scene in Star Wars where they manipulated the mechas to blast and destroy a planet with one move:
"Why are you so anxious? All the progress is under my control. I finally tamed such a cute little wolfdog that suits my taste. What's wrong with me enjoying it a little longer?"
Slag removal system: "..."
It knew that it couldn't be persuaded. It just wanted to make sure that Su Taoyao knew what he was thinking, so that it would feel relieved.
But soon, the opportunity came for Su Taoyao and others.
Ling Fei came back very late that day, and Su Taoyao was waiting for him on the soft bed in the yard again until she fell asleep.
Ling Fei gently carried Su Taoyao to bed. When he was changing clothes and going to bed, Su Taoyao woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Are you very busy recently? Why do you come back so late for several days in a row?"
Ling Fei responded in a low voice: "Well, the emperor is preparing for a southern tour recently and has designated that he will take the prince with him, so this southern tour basically has to be arranged by the prince."
Come on, asking the prince to make arrangements is equivalent to asking Ling Fei to make arrangements.
Su Taoyao asked: "Southern Tour? When?"
"Seven days later. I've been busy with this recently. Now I'm almost done with it. Everything is arranged." Ling Fei said, gently stroking Su Taoyao's hair.
Su Taoyao said "hmm" first, then asked in silence, "Then do you want to go with me?"
"Well," Ling Fei was silent for a moment after answering: "I originally wanted to tell you this matter these days. This southern tour is very important. I must follow it. This southern tour will take about a month and a half.
time."
"Yes." Su Taoyao responded, then turned around and faced him with her back.
Ling Fei wanted to wait for Su Taoyao to ask something else, but she didn't expect that after she responded, she turned around and ignored him.
The sense of loss that he had deliberately ignored still welled up in his heart.
The year before last, his brother was also led by the emperor on a tour of the south.
Before leaving, his brother looked for Su Taoyao, and he shamelessly followed him at that time.
He heard with his own ears that Su Taoyao told him with longing at that time that she had never been to the South before and could he take her with him on the Southern Tour? After being rejected, she still looked disappointed.
Now that he was able to follow him on the southern tour, he came over specifically to tell her why she didn't react at all.
It's something she wants to do with her brother, but she doesn't want to do it with him, right?
So after working hard for so long, in Su Taoyao's heart, he is still not as good as his brother, right?
