CHAPTER XVI

Lin Sansi pushed the door in with a teacup, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Huo Yi standing in front of the bookshelf, facing her sideways, his snow-white robe lined with his handsome face, and the light outside the window faintly shone on his face, outlining the arc that made her stunned for a while.

"I thought His Highness was resting, but he was reading!" Lin Sansi smiled and said, "I made a cup of tea, and His Highness can just relieve his fatigue by reading a book." ”

Huo Yi sat down on a chair nearby, stretched out his hand to her, and smiled a little warmly: "Your tea is very coincidental, and you are just thirsty." ”

Lin Sansi obediently walked over and stood beside Huo Yi: "The snow peak that came from Xingong in the morning, I have already filtered it in the house three times, and the current taste is not heavy or light, it should be suitable for His Highness's taste." With that, he served.

Huo Yi took the teacup, lifted the lid of the cup and smelled it, a fragrant tea smell came to his nostrils, which made people feel refreshed, took a slight sip, then put it down, stretched out his arm, and sat on his lap with Lin Sansi in his arms.

Huo Yi wrapped his arms around her waist, his chin lightly rested on her fragrant shoulder, smelling the faint and elegant fragrance on her body, for the first time, he felt that he didn't want to return to the battlefield so much, and the feeling of galloping on a horse was no better than the quiet time now!

"Nothing to do."

Huo Yi's light words came from his ears, and Lin Sansi couldn't help but smile.

"How is it okay?" Lin Sansi turned his head, helplessly hugged by Huo Yi tightly, and couldn't twist it much: "Didn't Your Highness ask the royal tailor in the palace to make clothes for me?" Isn't that much kindness enough? ”

Huo Yi gently squeezed Lin Sansi's weak and boneless hand, and said lightly: "Are you worried that Gu will be punished for this?" ”

Lin Sansi sighed silently, she didn't reveal it at all, but she didn't expect Huo Yi to have an insight. "Well, after all, I entered the palace to serve His Highness as a sin, and His Highness instead asked the people in the palace to make clothes for me, so that the emperor would be unhappy if he knew."

Huo Yi laughed silently, and Lin Sansi's shoulders were shaking with his chin: "Is Lone so stupid?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Sansi was surprised, "Could it be that His Highness lied?" ”

"Father ordered Lone to go on the expedition, I don't know how long this will be, Lone asks to make a few clothes to wear, this is not too much to ask!" Huo Yi stopped the urge to laugh, and his breath was clear in Lin Sansi's ears, tickling her, only to hear him say slowly: "You don't have a name now, if you say that you make clothes, it will hurt you." ”

A few words lightly, but Huo Yi could hear a few thoughts about her, and Lin Sansi was inexplicably moved in his heart, "I understand." ”

"How's it going?"

"Now that it's all measured, Sister-in-law Li has already taken Mr. Shu to do it." Lin Sansi nodded and said, "Mr. Shu is worthy of being a person who works in the palace, just looking at his attention when measuring clothes!" ”

"Hmm." Huo Yi narrowed his eyes, "His craftsmanship is excellent, with his speed, he can wear it at night." ”

Lin Sansi paused, very surprised: "Wear it tonight?" ”

Huo Yi stared at her eyes, "You forgot that Gu told you last night that a distinguished guest is coming tonight?" ”

Of course Lin Sansi remembered, but she didn't care, how could she see any distinguished guests with her identity! "I thought His Highness was joking."

Huo Yi twisted his eyebrows: "Lonely light yì is not joking." ”

Lin Sansi hesitated for a moment, secretly raised his eyes to look at the man with heavy eyebrows, and asked, "Which distinguished guest is it?" ”

Huo Yi smiled slightly, reached out and picked up a strand of hair scattered next to her ear, wrapped it in the palm of her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the handsome man's bewildering face was revealed without a trace: "I'll know when the time comes." ”

Lin Sansi was held in Huo Yi's arms, and he obediently did not pursue the roots, the two chatted about some trivial things in the study, teased the flowers and plants on the table for a while, and Sister-in-law Li invited the two to the dining room for dinner.

Sister-in-law Li looked at Huo Yi's faint reaction, and was a little apprehensive in her heart, she was straightforward and did not hide her thoughts, but her reaction was not slow, and she had served in the prince's mansion for many years, and she could still detect some changes in Huo Yi's diet.

In the past few days since she returned home, no matter how she cooked, His Royal Highness ate less and less, which was quite confusing for Sister-in-law Li! She has always been very confident in her cooking skills, in the capital with the most famous nobles, there will not be many people who can surpass her in cooking, and she has been doing food-related business for the past two years after being sent out of the house, even if her cooking skills are not refined, she should not regress, and naturally she will not regress, but His Royal Highness the Prince, who praised her cooking skills in the past, has become more and more unpopular with the meals she cooks recently!

Sister-in-law Li was very guilty and blamed herself, but she was also very puzzled, until she saw that His Royal Highness loved to eat the golden crisp lotus root clip made by Miss Lin very much, she had a cloud and fog, and suddenly the mouth suddenly opened, and she ran to Miss Lin's room excitedly, asking her about the know-how of cooking on weekdays and her appetite preferences, etc., and collected it and studied it carefully.

Huo Yi took a chopstick dish in his mouth, and felt the changes in it after chewing it, although his face was still as calm as usual, but the amount of food was twice as much as usual, which made Sister-in-law Li almost cry after being happy.

"Sister-in-law Li, your palm treasure is really delicious......" Lin Sansi scooped a spoonful of palm treasure with a silver spoon and put it into her mouth, her words were vague, and she scooped three or four spoons into her mouth while speaking, seeing that her spicy tears were pouring out tears, but she did not hesitate to stretch out the silver spoon in her hand to the palm treasure, and a bowl of palm treasure was eaten by her for most of it.

With a ding, the silver spoon was lightly hit with silver chopsticks, although the strength was light, the momentum was undoubted.

Lin San looked at the culprit in confusion, and saw that he was eating calmly, and said weakly: "Your Highness, can't you eat?" ”

Huo Yi took a bite of food into his mouth, glanced at her quietly, and then said lightly: "Who made my heart burn last night?" ”

Lin Sansi's face was stunned for a moment, he glanced at the treasure in his palm, and reluctantly explained: "There are only a few mouthfuls left...... It's a waste if you don't eat it......"

"It's just not much, so you have to stay." Huo Yi raised his eyes, and saw that Lin Sansi's face was spicy red, and his soft lips were also a little red and swollen with spicy, and his eyes were extremely bright and bright, worried that she would eat too much and be troubled at night, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face gently, and her deep eyes couldn't hide the full taste of spoiling: "Don't you leave some for Lone?" ”

Lin Sansi was stunned for a while, she loves to eat the treasure in her hand, Sister-in-law Li specially burned it for her for a few days, Huo Yi had never tasted a bite before, she thought he didn't like to eat, but now that she thinks about it, she eats it too fast, he just doesn't have a chance to eat it......

Slowly moved the chopsticks to other dishes, and sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin into her mouth, this spicy and sweet, two extremes, she didn't feel the slightest discomfort when she ate it.

Seeing this, Huo Yi motioned to Sister-in-law Li to scoop a bowl of ginseng soup and serve it, and said, "Eat so much spicy, drink some soup to moisten." ”

Lin Sansi obediently drank a few sips, and then deliberately pushed the treasure in his palm in front of Huo Yi, and said, "Your Highness, let's eat quickly, the province is always greedy for me." ”

Huo Yi's eyes fell on the bowl of palm treasures, and his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, Lin Sansi didn't see it, but Sister-in-law Li saw it in her eyes, His Royal Highness's taste did change a little, but the habit of not liking spicy food should not be changed, just now when he said that, she felt strange, at this moment, seeing His Highness's frowning slightly, she was more sure of the guess in her heart, and when she was about to open her mouth to dissolve, she saw him scoop a spoonful into her mouth.

The thin lips moved slightly, and the spicy taste suddenly permeated the entire mouth, Huo Yi coughed extremely uncomfortably, calmly covered his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and forcibly choked the rest of the cough back, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was slightly red.

Lin Sansi drank half a bowl of soup, happened to see Huo Yi like this, and then went to see Sister-in-law Li with a worried look, she immediately understood, handed the remaining half bowl to Huo Yi's mouth, and waited for him to drink it, but couldn't help but smile: "It turns out that His Royal Highness can't eat spicy food......

The soup diluted the spiciness, Huo Yi restored his usual coldness, and his indifferent voice was wrapped in the meaning of promoting narrowness: "It turns out that you can eat spicy food so well!" ”

Huo Yi and Lin Sansi had just finished dinner, and Sister-in-law Li was worried that the two of them would eat too much for dinner and it would be easy to accumulate food, so she urged the two of them to go for a walk quickly, and she cleaned up the mess, Lin Sansi didn't talk to her politely, not to mention that even if she wanted to stay and help, the one next to her didn't agree, he had already dragged her back of her shirt out.

Huo Yi thought that the imperial grandmother would come over for a while, so he took Lin Sansi around the pavilion and walked another way, this road was only led by Granny Rong once when he first entered the prince's mansion, and he thought it was good-looking, the small bridge and flowing water, the pavilion courtyard, and the stamens and trees planted on both sides could also be green in this summer, which made people's eyes shine! At this moment, the night is thick, but the prince's mansion is silent as if no one is there, and only a few lights can be seen.

Two people walked side by side, passing from the high rockery, the rockery did not know where it was transported from, it was very spectacular, more than a dozen steps were chiseled on the rockery, the two went down the stone ladder, the oncoming wind blew slightly, the cool breeze was blowing, Huo Yi got down the stone ladder first, turned sideways, and thoughtfully stretched out his hand to Lin Sansi.

Lin Sansi smiled and said, "Thank you." After getting along for a long time, sometimes she even omitted the honorific title for Huo Yi, which brought the relationship between the two closer.

Huo Yi took her into his arms, wrapped his arm around her waist, and said softly: "When I was in the house before, did you have a suitable maid?" ”

For no reason, Lin Sansi squinted his eyes and raised his eyes from his arms to look at him, and he didn't know why he asked like this, so he nodded honestly and replied, "Of course there is." Unlike you men, a deep boudoir like us can't go out of the house when we're idle, and if we don't have two caring people to take care of you and say some interesting things to kill time, wouldn't you be suffocated to death! ”

"Oh?" Huo Yi's eyes were faint, and he asked casually as if he didn't care, "What do you say on weekdays?" ”

"What else can you say," Lin Sansi raised his head and looked at the cold moonlight, as if he was recalling the past years, and his tone was gentle and pleasant. "It's nothing more than the Zhang family adding a baby, the Li family beating someone, and the Liu family's daughter-in-law having an affair...... And so on, it's all a trivial matter from hearsay, and it sounds like a good way to pass the time. ”

"Huh?" Huo Yi frowned, with suspicion in his eyes, and asked, "Are all the ladies in the capital listening to this?" ”

Lin Sansi snorted and laughed: "Listen to this!" Your Highness must have thought that our young ladies should be everyone's beautiful appearance, right? Only communicate with the daughters of famous families, compare who caresses the piano better, whose embroidery is the best, more literary and artistic, and then chant a little poem or something, right? ”

"Isn't that right?"

"As far as I know, the daughters are all about the same as me! Your Highness, think about it, we are also mortal, what is the point of comparing day after day? What can you do if you spend all your energy striving for the top ten Qingwan talented women? After all, one day I have to marry a wife, a husband and a child, how boring my life is! Listen to these trivial things, what's wrong with adjusting and adjusting! ”

Huo Yi seemed to be very reasonable when she heard her, and she didn't comment, only saying in her heart that it was no wonder that among the top ten Qingwan talented women in the capital every year, she had never seen her name listed. "You don't care about these false names?"

Lin Sansi responded coquettishly: "Your Highness also said that it's just a false name." ”

"You are so temperamental, I am afraid that someone else will take care of you and wronged you." Huo Yi couldn't help but smile too, and took her back into his arms again: "Tomorrow, write down the name and place of origin of your favorite maid and give it to Lone." ”

"Your Highness...... Want to get them? Lin Sansi was taken aback, lowered his head and muttered: "Since my father was imprisoned, the Lin Mansion has also been sealed, the people who are imprisoned in the mansion are imprisoned, and the people who are sent out, the two women who serve me are all lonely and homeless, where can I find them!" ”

The deliberately suppressed feelings of longing were aroused by his words, and Lin Sansi inevitably couldn't help it, but he didn't want to be seen by Huo Yi, but the hand around his waist was tighter.

Huo Yi also felt the sadness in her tone, knowing that it was too early to say some things, if she knew in advance, it would arouse anticipation in vain, so she forked the topic, took her around the rockery, and continued to walk forward.
