The quiet and leisurely afternoon passed very quickly, or rather, the life of the harem was originally like this, and the years were always wasted in waiting.

After lunch, Lin Wan sat in the corridor with Concubine Yu to read. Lin Wan felt that she hadn't calmed down and read a book for a long time, and she always felt that there was not enough time, and she felt that reading a book was really a very luxurious thing.

When it was about to be Shenshi, Lu Manting came, saying that she came to see Lin Wan, but she brought a half-embroidered Xipa, saying that she came by the way to ask Concubine Yu to help take a look and give some pointers.

Lin Wan didn't have any special reaction to this, still smiling, but it also made Lu Manting feel faintly alienated.

Lu Manting looked at Lin Wan suspiciously, and asked with concern: "Sister Wan'er, I heard that you are unwell, and the imperial doctor has been passed on, and Imperial Doctor Liu has stayed in Yulin Palace for a night. I originally wanted to come to see you early in the morning, but the imperial aunt said that His Royal Highness Prince Ximen is here and asked me to come back later. What kind of illness did you have? Why did Imperial Doctor Liu stay in the Yulin Palace? Do you know? Men can't spend the night in the harem, because there are many people in this palace, and it's easy to gossip. ”

Lin Wan heard the meaning of Lu Manting's words, looked at Lu Manting lightly, and said quietly: "Sister Lao Lu cares, and I don't have any big problems, but the wind and cold I got before have not been better, and I came out yesterday to blow the wind, and my condition has worsened again." The father felt sorry for Wan'er, so he let Wan'er stay in the palace for one night. My father was also in Yulin Palace last night, and it was my father who asked Imperial Doctor Liu to stay, because he was afraid that I would have a fever at night, and when the time came, I would announce the imperial doctor, and I would have to work again. It's better to leave Imperial Doctor Liu in the palace, in case something happens at night, it will be more convenient. ”

Lu Manting was stunned, her little face was slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "Sister Wan'er, I don't mean anything else, don't misunderstand." I'm worried that His Royal Highness Ximen Yuzi will hear some gossip and have some bad thoughts about you. Since my father is also here, there is nothing to worry about, I am too worried. ”

Lin Wan shook her head with a smile and said, "Sister Lu is indeed too worried, I know that Sister Lu is kind enough to remind me, I am grateful to Sister Lu before it is too late, how could I misunderstand your kindness?"

Lu Manting couldn't tell whether Lin Wan was sincere or fake, so she nodded awkwardly, turned the topic to the Xipa in her hand, lowered her voice, and asked a little shyly: "Sister Wan'er, look at the Xipa I embroidered, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I just embroidered this half of the mandarin duck, I always feel that there is something shortcoming, and I can't see why, can you help me see, what is wrong?"

Lin Wan took Xipa, looked at it carefully, and commented seriously: "Sister Lu, your craftsmanship is good, but the lines on this mandarin duck's neck are a little stiff and not soft enough, so it always looks weird." ”

Lu Manting listened to Lin Wan's words, and also looked at those lines carefully, nodded suddenly in realization, and said, "Sister Wan'er is really a person who wakes up from her dreams! You see that this mandarin duck originally turned back to look at another mandarin duck, but because of the stiff lines on the neck, the whole picture looked incongruous, and the mandarin duck's posture was unnatural. I had to go back and embroider another handkerchief, and it couldn't be used anymore. ”

Lin Wan pushed the boat along the water, nodded in agreement: "Yes, Sister Lu, go back and re-embroider a piece, maybe after the New Year, you will be able to use it." ”

Lu Manting sighed, shook her head, and said with some sadness: "The second emperor brother and sister Liu, the third emperor brother and my eldest sister are about to get married after the New Year, they are all side concubines, and they are not so grand." However, Brother Apocalypse and I shouldn't have been so fast. Brother Tianqi is now on official duty in the county town of Northern Xinjiang and is expected to return next spring, and we don't know when our wedding will take place. ”

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Sister Lu, would you mind being the side concubine of the Seventh Emperor Brother? Would you mind that your husband would marry another woman as his wife in the future? Can you bear to share your man with other women?"

Lu Manting's body was shocked, and she raised her eyes to look at Lin Wan, her eyes were shocked. Finally, he bit his lower lip, held Lin Wan's hand, and asked with a face full of grievances and doubts: "Sister Wan'er, why do you think of me so much? Of course I am willing." As long as I can be with Brother Tianqi and let me be a concubine, I am willing. How could I mind what you said?"

Lin Wan didn't expect Lu Manting to say such a thing, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Lin Wan didn't speak, Lu Manting became even more anxious, holding Lin Wan's hand a little nervously, and asked anxiously: "Sister Wan'er, aren't you going to Xiling Kingdom to be the crown princess? Why did you suddenly ask me these questions?"

Lin Wan looked at Lu Manting, who was a little mentally disturbed, in surprise, and said with a stammer: "I ......"

Lu Manting frowned, suddenly shook Lin Wan's body vigorously, and said in a panic: "Sister Wan'er, do you regret it? Do you also like Brother Apocalypse? I don't mind, I just need to look at Brother Apocalypse every day, I won't fight with you, don't let Brother Apocalypse resist the decree and refuse to marry." Then the imperial aunt and grandmother will not let him go, Sister Wan'er......"

Lin Wan's face was grim, she pushed Lu Manting away, stood up, and said coldly: "Sister Lu, are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about?"

Lu Manting's body was shocked, and she looked at Lin Wan blankly, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and as if she was still in a dream, her mouth was half open, and she couldn't speak.

Lin Wan looked at Lin Manting, who was both pitiful and angry, and couldn't help but soften her heart again, and said calmly: "Sister Lu, you must have not slept all night last night, and you were a little confused, you better go back and rest quickly, okay?" After speaking, he gently helped Lu Manting up, and walked her out of Yulin Palace without saying anything.

Concubine Yu kept holding the book in her hand, but she didn't turn a page, and when she saw Lin Wan and Lu Manting get up and walk out, she raised her head, looked at the backs of the two of them, and sighed quietly.

Lu Manting was dragged out of Yulin Palace by Lin Wan, and then she came back to her senses, held Lin Wan's hand, and muttered in a low voice: "Sister Wan'er, I ...... Don't be mad at me, I ...... I don't know why I said these words, maybe I really didn't sleep well, I was not in good spirits, and I was cranky. Don't blame me, okay?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "How could it be?" Sister Lu's infatuation with the Seventh Emperor Brother is touching, I will only be happy for you, how can I blame you? It's that Sister Lu thinks too much and is too nervous. ”
