Chapter 102: Wine is not intoxicating
After a long time, Lu Manting sighed and said, "But after Concubine Chen died, he disappeared." I cried and begged the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to tell me where he was, but they didn't know. Three years later, when he returned to the palace, I learned that he was with Master Lingyin. At that time, I didn't live in the palace anymore, and my aunt wouldn't let me go to him, saying that we were both nine years old and that we should know how to avoid suspicion. At that time, I had to follow the master to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, he had to go to the Royal Academy every day to study, and I also had to go to the school martial arts field to practice martial arts, and I couldn't see him occasionally when I entered the palace. I've met a few times in the past three years, and I haven't had a chance to talk properly, but I know that he still likes me at that time, and when he sees me, he smiles at me, and when I leave, he will be reluctant. Later, he disappeared again, and the Queen Mother's aunt and grandmother said that he went to the military camp for training, and for his safety, no one knew which general he went to. ”
"What happened later?" Lin Wan asked lightly.
"I've been silently waiting for him to come back, but when he comes back this time, it's completely changed" Lu Manting's eyes were red, with a pair ......of big crystal eyes, looking at Lin Wan, hoping that she could give herself an answer.
After listening to Lu Manting's story, Lin Wan was also very sad, the question in Lu Manting's heart, Lin Wan knew the answer, but she couldn't say it, she also had pain in her heart.
Lin Wan is not a soft-hearted person, she will not give up her love because she feels sorry for Lu Manting, even if she blames herself deeply, even if she thinks she is shameful, she can't give up the apocalypse to others. Unless Apocalypse wants to leave, she won't let go, even if she is broken, she will not hesitate to do so!
Lu Manting saw that Lin Wan didn't speak for a long time, and there were tears in her eyes, and she hurriedly said: "Good sister, thank you for listening to me say this, I feel much better when I say it." It's all my fault for making you sad. ”
Lin Wan shook her head and smiled slightly: "As long as my sister is no longer sad." ”
Lu Manting smiled, held Lin Wan's cold little hand tightly with warm hands, held it to her chest, and said sincerely: "My sister is so good in my heart!"
Lin Wan smiled faintly and lowered her head.
After Lu Manting finished pouring out her girl's thoughts, she raised her eyes to look at her love, and finally saw that Zhou Tianqi was also looking at her side, she happily touched Lin Wan, and said in a low voice: "Look, Brother Tianqi is looking at me." ”
Lin Wan raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tianqi, he did look at this side, and he didn't know who he was looking at. Lin Wan was angry in his heart, and only collided with his gaze slightly, then turned his face away, and finally failed to hide the resentment in his heart.
Zhou Tianqi saw Lin Wan's obvious anger, and he was flustered, and vaguely felt that it was because of his relationship with Lu Manting, and he wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it, so he had to turn his head and stop looking at her, so as not to misunderstand Lu Manting next to her and make Lin Wan angry about it.
And this brief interaction between them did not escape Ximen Yuqing's eyes, he saw that Lin Wan was different from Zhou Tianqi, but he didn't know why, it was for Lu Manting, or Zhou Tianqi also had affection for Lin Wan? But what about Lin Wan? Is she interested in the Seven Princes of the Great Feudal Kingdom? If so, then how ridiculous her reason for rejecting herself becomes.
Lin Wan looked at the performance on the stage with empty eyes, her heart was so confused that she couldn't figure it out, she quietly took a deep breath, gradually emptied herself, and told herself, don't think about it!
I don't know how long it took, the glass of sweet wine in front of Lin Wan was unconsciously drunk by her again, and she was about to pour herself another glass, when a big hand pressed her wine jug.
Lin Wan raised his misty drunken eyes, and saw that the prince Zhou Tianhong in purple was standing in front of him, he smiled softly to himself, and said in his warm and elegant magnetic voice: "Sister Wan'er, don't drink it anymore, although this wine is sweet, but if you get drunk, it will still be very uncomfortable." ”
Lin Wan smiled innocently, obediently put down the wine jug, and said in a glutinous voice: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for reminding you, Wan'er really can't drink anymore." ”
Zhou Tianhong looked at Lin Wan, who had a crimson face and a cute face, and his heart couldn't help skipping two beats, what kind of woman is this, so smart that people are scared, so cute that people feel distressed, like a fan, people can't see all of her, like poison, people are unconsciously attracted to her.
Zhou Tianhong wanted to say anything more, but Lin Wan had already closed his eyes and leaned on Lu Manting's shoulder, and he didn't know if he was asleep.
Lu Manting blamed herself and said: "It's all my fault, I didn't find out in time, Sister Wan'er did drink a little too much, thank you Brother Prince for reminding me in time, I will take good care of her." ”
Zhou Tianhong smiled and nodded, and returned to his seat.
Ximen Yuqing glanced at him and teased: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Dafeng Kingdom really pities the jade, but it's a pity that he is merciful everywhere, and I don't know how many beauties' hearts have been broken." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Fang from afar.
Zhou Tianhong followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw a pair of resentful beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but be a little bored, but he still comforted the beauty with a charming smile.
Although Zhou Tianming and Jin Pengzhan at the table didn't talk much, they drank a lot of wine, obviously Jin Pengzhan drank better, a pair of eagle eyes were still clear, and he looked at Zhou Lingwei from time to time, his purpose was very clear, that is, to marry the third princess of the Dafeng Kingdom back as a prince and concubine, his father has always preferred the sixth brother, but if he can marry the third princess of the Dafeng Kingdom, he can get the support of the emperor of the Dafeng Kingdom, which will add a big help.
Zhou Tianming's face was red, he had already drunk the three pots of wine in front of him, and he was still chattering to Jin Pengzhan beside him: "The eldest prince is really massive, come, have another glass!"
At the end of the day, the emperor and Concubine Shu left the State Banquet Palace together, and it seems that they are going to rest in the Concubine Palace today. Then the queen took Lu Manting, the imperial concubine took Liu Fangyao, the jade concubine took Lin Wan, and Concubine De took Zhou Lingwei back to the palace. Except for the seven princes who have not yet opened a palace outside the palace, the other princes, envoys and officials have all left the palace before the prince.
The noisy palace suddenly quieted down, only to hear the sound of the soft sedan chair "squeaking" together, looking at the boundless darkness around her, Lin Wan suddenly felt very scared, she nested in the sedan chair, wrapped her arms around herself, and looked at everything around her with wide eyes, as if a monster would suddenly appear in the darkness and pounce on her, just like the horror movie she watched in her previous life.
The palanquin man put down Concubine Yu and Lin Wan at the gate of the harem, and everyone walked slowly without saying a word. Because Lin Wan fell asleep, Concubine Yu waited until the end to leave, so there were no pedestrians on the road for a long time, and the lights in the palaces and halls were dimmed. Except for the palace lamp in the hands of the palace maid, except for the sound of broken leaves under her feet, except for the night breeze flowing quietly, except for the low chirping of insects, there is no longer any breath of life, and the silence like death is so overwhelming that Lin Wan is about to suffocate.
