"According to my father, the emperor, more than twenty years ago, when my mother-in-law took Lian Xiao and I to a palace to escape the summer heat, we encountered bandits on the way. During the fight, Lian Xiao and I were abandoned by the bandits.
On the cliff, my mother-in-law fainted, and the guards tried their best to protect her and returned to the palace. My emperor father was furious and ordered all the thieves to be hunted down. He also sent people to search for Lian Xiao and me at the bottom of the cliff, but not even the bodies were found.
I couldn't find it..." Lian Qin pouted and continued: "What kind of bandits? They must be part of some palace battle drama! No matter which country the palace is in, they are all equally dirty and dirty. They eat people without spitting out their bones!"
When Zhuo Ye heard this, he couldn't help being startled: "Shh! Keep your voice down! What are you talking about!" This girl was really bold, speaking so openly in the palace.
Lian Qin also knew that if what she just said fell into the ears of someone with intentions, it would be a disaster, and it would most likely harm her family, so she quickly shut up and stopped criticizing the darkness of the palace. Of course, the "family" in her heart
, refers to people from the Lian family...
"After you fell off the cliff, did General Lian save you?" Zhuo Ye asked, but in fact the answer was already obvious.
Lian Qin nodded: "Yes! Lian Xiao and I are lucky. My father said that he happened to pass by that cliff and heard the baby's cry, so he went to find out. When he found us, we were surrounded by a dense tree.
Supported by a big tree crown.”
"Then what are you and Lian Xiao's plans for the future? Are you going back to Xia Kingdom with your father?"
Lian Qin sighed: "I must go back for a while. I heard that our mother-in-law has not been in good health since that incident..."
Zhuo Ye reached out and patted Lian Qin's arm and said, "She must have missed you too much and should go back..."
However, back in Huixia, Lian Qin and Lian Xiao were the princess and prince of the same country. They could no longer do whatever they wanted. In the future, they didn't know if they would have another chance to meet each other. Zhuo Ye sighed inwardly.
Looking at the look on Zhuo Ye's face, Lian Qin knew what she was thinking. She couldn't help but smile evilly and said, "Why, beauty, you can't bear to leave me?"
Zhuo Ye rolled his eyes at Lian Qin and cursed: "You're not serious!"
Lian Qin smiled slightly and comforted: "Don't worry, I will come back if I go back to stay with my mother and concubine for a while. The Lian family has raised us for more than twenty years. In Lian Xiao and I's hearts, General Lian and Mrs. Lian are the two
Our parents!" After a pause, he gloated: "However, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lian Xiao to escape. Now that he has recognized his identity, he has his responsibility..."
Zhuo Ye was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You have returned to Huixia. How can the Lord of Huixia let you run around again?!"
"Don't underestimate me, don't forget, I'm not one of those obedient princesses who grew up in the palace! Wherever I want to go, can they stop me?" Lian Qin shook her legs carelessly: "I'm just a fool.
Don’t run away! Am I still staying in the palace, waiting for the emperor’s father to marry me and become his pawn to win over powerful officials? Oh! What a wonderful idea!”
"Haha..." Zhuo Ye chuckled when he heard this. How could she forget that Lian Qin was not a master at the mercy of others! Who could restrain her? It seems that she was just worried...
Lian Qin said goodbye to Zhuo Ye and left Tingfangzhai. He went straight out of the palace gate without returning to Yanghe Hall.
At the gate of the imperial city, Lian Qin saw a familiar handsome figure not far ahead walking slowly...
"Prince Jin!" Lian Qin greeted him unconsciously.
Feng Linge turned around, smiled and nodded: "Princess Baili."
Lian Qin frowned, waved her hand and said: "What kind of princess is not a princess? It sounds troublesome. Also, this is Tianshuo, I haven't returned to Xia yet, and my surname is Lian here!"
Feng Linge chuckled: "Okay, Miss Lian."
Lian Qin looked around and asked doubtfully: "My lord, have you just left the palace? Why are you alone?"
"The emperor was accompanying Lord Xia to have a conversation, and everyone else dispersed. I wanted to take a walk, so I sent Qingzhu, the guards, and the coachman back to the house first." Feng Linge explained.
"Oh." Lian Qin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Well, you don't mind if more than one person goes together?" Then he scratched his head again and added with some embarrassment: "Well... Anyway, Prince Jin's Mansion and Lian Mansion are also
It’s not too far…”
Feng Linge was stunned for a moment, feeling that Lian Qin's expression was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and nodded: "Of course I don't mind."
There was no curfew in Tianshuo, and the first lunar month had not yet come out at this time. In the evening, the streets of Shengjing were still decorated with lights and vendors, and it was very lively.
The two walked forward side by side. Lian Qin's face was slightly red and her palms were sweating. She wanted to say something to Feng Linge, but she didn't know how to say it.
She knew that once she left for summer, she still had no idea when she would be able to come back. If she didn't say some things before leaving, she was really afraid that it would be too late, and she would definitely regret it then!
Feng Linge didn't notice anything strange about Lian Qin, so out of courtesy, he talked lightly with Lian Qin as he walked.
Lian Qin agreed with her mouth, but she was cursing herself in her heart: Idiot! You have no future! Aren't you usually very dignified? Are you so nervous now?! Say it! You did say something! Why don't you say anything to others?
I will know your thoughts!
"Jin, Prince Jin..." At this moment, a female voice that did not conceal her surprise suddenly sounded...
Lian Qin couldn't help but frown when she heard this voice, and Feng Linge's handsome eyebrows also frowned slightly.
After the voice fell, a pretty figure ran over, saluted Feng Linge and said, "Linlang has met Prince Jin..."
Feng Linge and Lian Qin had to stop.
"Miss Yu, there is no need to be polite on this street." Feng Linge's handsome face was expressionless and he said in an indifferent tone.
"Your Majesty, Linlang was about to go to his house to visit the Prince. I didn't expect to meet you on the street. What a coincidence!" Yu Linlang's beautiful eyes looked at Feng Linge shyly and timidly, ignoring the person next to her.
Lianqin.
Lian Qin pursed her lips and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. This idiot woman has such a mean expression!
"Miss Yu, do you have anything to do with me?" Although Feng Linge didn't show obvious impatience on his face, anyone could hear the alienation in his tone. Feng Linge rarely calls himself "in front of others"
"This King".
Yu Linlang didn't seem to notice it at all. She turned around and took a beautifully packaged carton from her maid, handed it to Feng Linge, and said shyly: "I, I made some snacks and wanted to send them to the prince.
…”
This is a snack she specially learned from Ouyang Nuan'er. At first, Ouyang Nuan'er often sent snacks to Prince Rui's Mansion, but Yu Linlang seemed to have forgotten that all the snacks made by Ouyang Nuan'er were delivered to the mouth of "Little Baozi"
, Feng Lince has never eaten a piece...
"I appreciate Miss Yu's kindness, but I don't like sweets, so Miss Yu should take it back."
Hearing this, Lian Qin looked at Feng Linge in surprise, blinked, then blinked, then pursed his lips and smiled.
Feng Linge has a gentle personality, but he is rarely so disrespectful to others, and the other person is still a girl...
The purpose in Yu Linlang's eyes was too obvious. In the past, Feng Linge would maintain a superficial courtesy with Yu Linlang for Master Yu's sake, but since she repeatedly attacked Zhuo Ye, he has become more and more repulsive.
She fell in love with him, and since he had no intention of her, it would be better to dispel her fantasy as soon as possible.
"My lord, this snack... is not very sweet... I made it myself..." Yu Linlang said unwillingly. There was already a layer of mist in her beautiful eyes.
Before Feng Linge could speak again, Lian Qin folded his arms, glanced at Yu Linlang, and said leisurely: "Hey! Linge doesn't like snacks, especially the ones you made! Let's go! Let's talk about this again!
It's late at night, what kind of snacks are you here to bring?"
"You!" Yu Linlang was angry, glared at Lian Qin and cursed: "Who do you think you are?! You dare to call the prince by his name!"
"Linge just likes it when I call him that." Lian Qin did it on purpose. She felt uncomfortable looking at Yu Linlang and wanted to stimulate her.
Feng Linge glanced at Lian Qin in surprise, then raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
"You! Who do you think you are, King Jin?!" Yu Linlang's voice became sharper.
Pedestrians around were already looking at them or pointing at them, but they faintly heard the word "Prince" in the conversation, so they didn't dare to get too close to watch the fun.
Lian Qin smiled softly: "If you dare to call him by his name, who do you think I am?"
Feng Linge felt more and more uncomfortable when he heard Lian Qin's words. He wanted to stop him, but it was too late...
"You are so shameless!" Yu Linlang's face turned red with anger and she gritted her teeth and cursed.
Lian Qin raised his eyebrows: "Which one of us is shameless? We are in love, but you shamelessly took the initiative to post it, but in the end, others didn't care..."
"Lian Qin, go to hell!!" Yu Linlang was so angry that she viciously smashed the snack box in her hand at Lian Qin.
Lian Qin was a martial arts practitioner, so there was no way he could be hit by Yu Linlang. He ducked slightly and dodged the "hidden weapon" flying towards him. The box of love snacks fell to the ground and scattered everywhere...
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity for a box of cakes. Lin Ge hates wasteful people the most..." Lian Qin shook his head, as if regretfully.
Yu Linlang was so angry that she rushed towards Lian Qin and wanted to tear her apart. When the maid behind her saw this, she was so frightened that she quickly reached out to stop her. Now that Shengjing had spread Lian Qin's identity as Princess Hui Xia, they girls really didn't want it.
Damn it, you actually messed with the prince of your country and the princess of a foreign country in the street!
"That's enough!" Feng Linge said with an angry look on his face, and said to the servants of the Yu Mansion: "Send your lady back!"
"Yes, yes..." The servants pulled Yu Linlang back even harder.
Seeing Feng Linge's darkened face, Yu Linlang did not dare to struggle any more. She glared at Lian Qin resentfully, and with tears in her eyes, was pulled away by her servants.
Feng Linge sighed, turned around and said to Lian Qin: "Miss Lian, thank you for your kindness in rescuing the siege, but you have ruined your reputation..."
"I do not mind."
"But..." Feng Linge wanted to say something else.
"Um..." Lian Qin interrupted Feng Chime's words, took a deep breath, and said as if he was risking his life: I may go back to Xia soon, but I don't necessarily know when I will come back. I'll tell you today!
I actually...actually like you a little bit. If you...if you really let go of your feelings for Zhuo Ye one day, remember to give me priority! I am as good as you in writing, as good as you in martial arts, and I am as handsome as you.
You are quite good-looking, have good status, and are a good match. You also meet my criteria for finding a husband. The most important thing is that I have feelings for you. Of course, I hope that you will also have feelings for me in the future, not because of anything.
Be responsible for me..." Lian Qin touched her nose and said awkwardly: "I think the two of us are really suitable. You must take it to your heart today. Well, I've finished saying this. I'll leave first.
Already..."
After saying this in one breath, Lian Qin's face, neck, and ears were already red. Without waiting for Feng Linge's reply, she tiptoed and ran away...
Lian Qin knew that Feng Linge still had Zhuo Ye in her heart and would not give her any clear answer now. She also didn't want to hear his reaction to her words. She just wanted him to know her thoughts...
Feng Linge turned to stone on the spot. Looking at the direction Lian Qin left, he couldn't recover for a long time...
Cihua Palace.
The Queen Mother's left hand unconsciously caressed the finger cot on the little finger of her right hand, with a gloomy look on her face.
Inside the house, an inconspicuous man in black stood with his hands hanging down.
After a while, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at the man in black and asked: "Did you hear what you just said with your own ears?"
The man in black replied respectfully: "What I said to the Queen Mother, I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, every word is true! I was on the street at that time, I believe many people heard it, Princess Baili does have colleagues
The king wishes to get married!"
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to pick up the tea cup, but did not drink the tea. She only used the lid of the cup to flick the tea leaves, and began to think deeply...
After another long while, the black man called out softly: "The Queen Mother..."
The Queen Mother put the tea cup back on the table and said to the man: "You go down first."
"Yes, slave, please resign!"
After the man stepped back, the Queen Mother called out: "Cui Yi!"
Soon, a palace maid in green clothes entered the palace: "My servant is here, what are your orders from the Queen Mother?"
"Go get Zi Su!"
"yes!"
In the early morning, Zhuo Ye finished dressing up and had breakfast, then walked towards a small garden not far from Tingfangzhai. The garden was not big, but it was full of wintersweet trees. At this time, the plum blossoms had not yet faded, and the white snow was red.
The plum blossoms complement each other and are very beautiful.
Zhuo Ye only discovered this place in the past few days. After breakfast every day, before the time for Mammy etiquette to teach her, she came to take a walk. It was too boring to stay in the palace, so there was no place she could go.
Too little.
Today, as soon as she walked to the entrance of the garden, a palace maid in purple came rushing towards her. Before Zhuo Ye could dodge, he bumped into the palace maid.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it..." The maid held Zhuo Ye's body with one hand and grabbed Zhuo Ye's hand with the other hand, apologizing repeatedly without raising her head.
The palace maid's voice was very strange, as if she was deliberately concealing her true voice. Zhuo Ye suddenly felt wary. Just as he was about to struggle, he suddenly felt something being squeezed into the hand held by the palace maid!
When Zhuo Ye was stunned for a moment, the palace maid had already let go of Zhuo Ye and ran away at a staggering speed!
Zhuo Ye raised his eyebrows, he turned out to be a practicing master! So he didn't overestimate his ability and chased after him.
She lowered her head and looked at what the palace maid had given her. It turned out to be a rolled up note...
