Chapter 1426: Hard to swallow
Ximen Yu smiled lightly and said, "Naturally not, Princess Hongde is simple and lovely, kind-hearted, very rare." ”
Lin Wan also smiled and said affectionately to Hong Xiaotian: "Sister Tian'er, it's all my fault, my curiosity is too heavy, and I have so many branches for an ocarina." ”
Hong Xiaotian hurriedly shook his head, walked in front of Lin Wan, took her hand, and snorted, "Sister Wan'er, are you really not angry with me?"
Lin Wan smiled and shook his head, and said, "How can it be? It's just a trivial matter, don't mention it again in the future." You are new to the city, and the road is hard, so let's go back to Jingtai Hall to rest early. ”
Hong Xiaotian nodded gratefully, pulled Lin Wan with one hand and Lu Manting with the other, and said emotionally: "Sister Wan'er, Sister Lu, my mother was still worried that I would leave my hometown and be bullied, so she pulled me to cry for nearly an hour when she parted. But I didn't expect that I was so lucky, as soon as I came, I met your two good sisters, tolerant, generous, understanding, and treated me like a sister, so caring for me and taking care of me. ”
Ximen Long was proud to see that the turmoil had passed, and they were all overjoyed, and they couldn't help but smile happily, and said kindly: "Princess Wan is right, Princess Hongde must have worked very hard all the way here." Qing'er, take Princess Hongde to Jingtai Hall to rest, there is a banquet at night, you need to be full of spirits, so that you can drink happily and enjoy singing and dancing. ”
Hong Xiaotian smiled sweetly, bowed to Ximen Longao, and thanked him: "Thank you for your compassion, Tian'er will retire." ”
Lan Ziheng also got up to say goodbye, and Lu Manting followed. So, Ximen Yuqing, Lan Ziheng, Lu Manting, Hong Xiaotian and Anu and other people left the imperial study together and slowly walked towards Jingtai Palace.
Lin Wan's goal had been achieved, so naturally he would not stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Ximen Longao, Ximen Hucheng and others, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that Lin Wan was leaving, Ximen Yumin also hurriedly got up, bowed to Ximen Longao, and asked to personally send Her Royal Highness Princess Wan back to Wanxin Palace.
And although Ximen Longao had already seen Ximen Yumin's thoughts about Lin Wan, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed.
Lin Wan secretly regretted in her heart, because she didn't want to go with Hong Xiaotian and them just now, she waited for a while before leaving. didn't expect it, but instead gave Ximen Yumin this opportunity to send her. However, in broad daylight, there are Qingtong and Bing'er waiting outside, and I believe that Ximen Yumin's words and deeds will not be too presumptuous.
Ximen Yumin was really quite regular, and he kept following behind Lin Wan, with a dark and calm face, and did not speak.
Out of the imperial study, Lin Wan walked to his soft sedan chair, turned around and said politely: "With General Lao Yumin to send him off, Wan'er can go back by herself, and you don't have to delay General Yumin's time." ”
Ximen Yumin frowned and looked at Lin Wan, and said expressionlessly: "Please get on the sedan chair with Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, I will send you to the Wanxin Palace and leave, you don't have to worry about me." ”
Lin Wan frowned suspiciously, and said thoughtfully: "General Yumin, do you know that someone wants to be unfavorable to me?"
Ximen Yumin was stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Wan to guess the reason for the incident just by his words.
Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yumin's stunned expression, knowing that he was right, he couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, and continued to guess: "Is it Lan Ziheng?"
Ximen Yumin was stunned again, then lowered his eyes again, and said impatiently: "Don't think too much, don't guess, you are purely scaring yourself." Get on the sedan chair quickly, this palace is not absolutely safe, you are careful everywhere, you will not be wrong. ”
Lin Wan saw that Ximen Yumin was reluctant to say, so he didn't ask any more, nodded, and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you General Yumin for reminding me." After speaking, he walked to the soft sedan chair, lowered his head and got into the sedan chair, and the guards immediately got up the sedan chair and went to the Wanxin Palace.
Ximen Yumin followed Lin Wan's sedan chair closely until the sedan chair stopped at the door of Wanxin Palace.
Lin Wan walked down from the sedan chair, bowed his knees to Ximen Yumin, looked at him deeply, didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the Wanxin Palace.
Ximen Yumin still stopped at the gate of Wanxin Hall for a long time before he sighed, turned around and strode back with a solemn face.
After returning to the Wanxin Palace, Lin Wan instructed the guards to strengthen their protection and not let the assassins take advantage of it. Then, with Bing'er and Qingtong, he quickly walked towards Ulina's room.
It was nearly noon, Nuan Xin was having lunch with Wu Lina, and when she saw Lin Wan coming, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet her.
Lin Wan saw that Wu Lina was eating, and suddenly felt hungry, turned his head and ordered Bing'er, "Bing'er, you go to the kitchen to see if my lunch is ready, if it's good, send it here, I'll eat with Lina." ”
When Wu Lina heard Lin Wan say that she wanted to stay and eat with her, she jumped up happily, took Lin Wan's hand, sat down beside her, secretly glanced at her warm heart, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wan'er, you are so good." You see, there are so many meals, and my warm-hearted sister asked me to eat them all, but I can't eat them all. ”
Lin Wan looked at the food on the table that had basically not been touched, and then looked at Wu Lina, who had grown some meat recently and was in much better spirits, hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Lina, Sister Wan'er thinks you have become more beautiful than when you first came." The little girl still needs to be rounded, she looks more cute and attractive. ”
Listening to Lin Wan's words, Wu Lina first pursed her lips and smiled, secretly happy in her heart. However, looking at the dishes on the table, he frowned again, and muttered in a low voice: "However, I am tired of eating these dishes, the taste is too strong, and my tongue is numb after eating too much." ”
Lin Wanhui frowned slightly, picked up the chopsticks suspiciously, and fed a piece of white jade tofu into his mouth, sure enough, he felt that the taste was heavy, and he could swallow the first piece, but he didn't want to eat the second piece anymore. The tongue does feel numb, with the bitter taste of medicinal powder, the spicy taste of black pepper, and the numb taste of Sichuan pepper. Although the flavors are excellent, they still feel weird.
This white jade tofu is cooked in a delicious fish broth, but the flavor of the fish broth is mixed with the spicy and bitter taste, and it is not wonderful at all.
Seeing Lin Wan frowning, Nuan Xin smiled, and helped Nuan Xiang explain: "Miss, Nuan Xiang has also spent a lot of thought, and has tried many ways, if you don't use other flavors to cover up the bitter taste of the medicinal powder, it will be even more difficult to swallow." ”
Lin Wan shook his head, and while thinking, he replied in a low voice: "I understand, it's not Nuan Xiang's fault, let me think of another way." After speaking, he pondered for a moment, then turned his head to Nuan Xin and ordered: "Nuan Xin, you go to Xiaodouzi and ask him to make all the medicinal powder in Lina's meal into pills." In the future, Lina will take a pill before eating, and eat after half an hour, so that she will not have to eat such an unpalatable meal. ”
