Chapter 10: The Great Gift of the Nangong Family
Lu Zhiyao didn't react, just sat there silently. With her head down, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she was thinking about something serious. Unintentionally, when she turned her eyes, she saw Lin Yinan on the other side observing her, her eyes calm and secret.
His heart trembled, and Lu Zhiyao felt uncomfortable as if he had been discovered some secret. didn't dare to look sideways at Lin Yinan even a glance, knowing what happened to Lin Yinan for so many years, Lu Zhiyao hid it in his heart, and his unfair complaints against God disappeared unconsciously.
The people who have had ups and downs in this world are not their own.
"After dealing with all this in the capital, I will leave here." Lin Yinan's low and elegant voice sounded slowly, and he looked at Lu Zhiyao with a little surprise, and said quietly: "So the person who may regret it should be you." ”
Lu Zhiyao worked hard to capture some information from Lin Yinan's words, and the expectation and excitement that slowly drilled out of his heart made Lu Zhiyao himself a little afraid to face it.
Smiling at Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao stood up and said softly, "It's time for you to rest." ”
Lu Zhiyao left such a sentence, but he didn't plan to accompany him, but came to Lin Yinan's special study for her, and curled up behind the desk, enjoying her pleasure with the corners of his lips slightly curled.
Lin Yinan followed her footsteps and stopped at the door to look at her for a long time. The house is very clean and has a very comfortable feeling. On the large table was a blue porcelain vase, with a few flowers folded from the garden, and a faint fragrance wafted through the room, lingering in the nose. The person behind the table has a faint smile on his face, and his eyes are clear and soft, like flowing water in the spring and wind, gentle, quiet and elegant.
Lin Yinan thought that some people in this world, even if they have changed their appearance, they will never be buried. Just like Xia Yao in front of him now.
Lin Yinan withdrew from the room and no longer disturbed Lu Zhiyao's thoughts, and when Lu Zhiyao was tired, after returning to the bedroom, what he saw was Lin Yinan sleeping on his side.
She walked to the bed with light steps and cautiously approached Lin Yinan's body. The index finger slowly ran across his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and finally to the thin lips. Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's handsome face blankly, and a smile crept into his eyes. She turned around and turned off the lights, took off her robe and lay down beside Lin Yinan, but the steadiness and peace in her heart disappeared in an instant because of Lin Yinan's hand on her waist.
Lin Yinan hugged Lu Zhiyao's somewhat stiff body, and said sleepily: "I thought you would do something to me just now." ”
"You're pretending to be asleep and deceiving me again!" Lu Zhiyao protested, causing Lin Yinan to laugh lightly, and then joked: "You didn't even notice that I pretended to be so obvious, it was obvious that I was too engrossed, why did you come to say mine now?" ”
Lu Zhiyao couldn't say anything about Lin Yinan, so he used silence to contend with him. Fortunately, Lin Yinan let her go today and didn't do anything to her again. So soon, Lu Zhiyao fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up the next day, he was also lying between Lin Yinan's arms.
Lu Zhiyao realized that he was not in an elegant sleeping position, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly sat up. Her movements did not escape the eyes of Lin Yinan, who had already woken up, and was teased by Lin Yinan for two more words, Lu Zhiyao jumped out of bed with a red face, and the back of running away made Lin Yinan extremely satisfied.
The news of Nangong Nuo'er's entry into Beijing came from time to time. What Lu Zhiyao never expected was that Nangong Nuo'er would arrive at the Eighth Emperor's Mansion at the first time and appear in front of her.
Nangong Nuo'er came on horseback, with a pair of phoenix eyes flying, showing a slightly rebellious character, slender willow eyebrows, straight nose, and ruddy thin lips. She is not a stunning beauty, but she has a unique charm when she looks closely.
Nangong Nuo'er's eyes fell on Lu Zhiyao's body, and looked at Lu Zhiyao with a bit of arrogance and disdain, she smiled coldly, and conveyed her attitude to Lu Zhiyao without words.
Lu Zhiyao is a little accustomed to Nangong Nuo'er's disdain, she hasn't seen her for so long, except that she is more flamboyant than before, but other places have not changed at all. Such a disdainful look, Lu Zhiyao didn't know how many times he had seen it before. Standing calmly behind Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao secretly thought that Nangong Nuo'er would come this time because of something.
"The Eighth Prince is overjoyed, my father couldn't rush back in person, and I ask the Eighth Prince not to mind. This is a congratulatory gift that my father entrusted me to bring back to the Eighth Prince, and he specially instructed me to send this over as soon as I returned to the capital. ”
As soon as Nangong Nuo'er's words fell, he motioned to the servants behind him to present the things, and then handed them over to Lin Yinan's hands.
Lin Yinan's enthusiasm for the Nangong family was naturally not stupid enough to think that they really intended to show goodwill.
"Thank you General Nangong for being so concerned." Lin Yinan casually handed the things to Lu Zhiyao's hand, and said to Nangong Nuo'er in a clear voice: "The eldest lady has returned, so presumably General Nangong will also return to Beijing soon, right?" ”
"My father will come back in a while, I'm just one step ahead, and I want to come back to see what kind of woman can enter the eyes of the Eighth Prince. Unexpectedly, it was the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. When Nangong Nuo'er said this, she deliberately went to see Lu Zhiyao again. After Lu Zhiyao looked at her indifferently, and there was a smile in his eyes that was not easy to find, Nangong Nuo'er was stunned for a moment, always feeling that she had seen such a look before, but she couldn't think of it for a while.
"By the way, the emperor should hold a banquet for me, and I hope that the eighth prince and the eighth princess can also enjoy their faces to participate." Nangong Nuo'er quickly recovered to her original state and talked about business to Lin Yinan.
"It must be there." Lin Yinan did not hesitate, and directly responded to Nangong Nuo'er's words. After saying a few more polite words to him, Nangong Nuo'er turned around and left. But in my heart, there has always been unhappiness.
This was the first time she had dealt directly with Lin Yinan so closely, and the feeling he gave her was a little different from what she had heard from others. And what made Nangong Nuo'er a little concerned was that Lu Zhiyao, who flew on the branch as a phoenix. If she remembers correctly, this woman is a well-known ** broom star. Today's dignified and calm appearance is pretended? and the look in his eyes, which really made Nangong Nuo'er very uncomfortable.
Nangong Nuo'er sneered and walked out of the Eight Emperors' Mansion, secretly thinking that she would definitely give the two of them some color on the feast, so that they could be wiped out When their Nangong family was away, the sense of superiority and majesty that arose because of hooking up with Mu Wangye.
"It's so magnificent." After Nangong Nuo'er left, Lu Zhiyao said to Lin Yinan: "General Nangong hasn't come back yet, and the emperor has actually picked up the wind for her." It seems that this time, the people of the Nangong family are going to live in the capital for a while. Is the prince going to make some moves? ”
"She doesn't seem to like you?" Lin Yinan didn't answer Lu Zhiyao's question directly, but remembered Nangong Nuo'er's appearance when she looked at Lu Zhiyao just now, and asked her with a smile.
"There are not many women who can make her look pleasing to the eye, and if she looks at me well, then I am afraid." Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan, and went to dismantle the things sent by Nangong Lingfeng. Looking at the delicate short knife, Lu Zhiyao's face changed.
"Do you know what this thing is?" Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao, picked up the sharp blade in her hand, and exclaimed, "It is indeed a good knife." ”
"Don't say you can't see it, this is the mark of Fanbang." Lu Zhiyao pointed to a strange symbol on the scabbard, "It's true that the knife is a good knife, but where did you get this knife, it's doubtful." ”
Just as Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan were talking, Lan Ruoyan came slowly from outside. Lin Yinan didn't wait for Lan Ruoya to speak, and asked her to take out the long sword at her waist. When Lan Ruoyan was puzzled and did it, Lin Yinan suddenly unexpectedly made a move on Lan Ruoyan.
Lan Ruoyan reflexively swung her sword to block, her eyes widened, and she saw that the sword body in her hand was broken by Lin Yinan's short knife, Lan Ruoya's gaze locked on the blade with cold light, and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”
"Good things from General Nangong." Lin Yinan said with a meaningful smile, he knew that Lan Ruoya usually wouldn't take out her treasure when she was on a mission, but what she had been wearing on her body was also a boutique that she had personally selected. "It's a good gift to sharpen iron like clay."
Lin Yinan put the blade into the scabbard, looked at Lu Zhiyao's gloomy gaze and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"It was sent to you by General Nangong, and it has nothing to do with me." Lu Zhiyao raised his head and said a little unreasonably.
"You're shirking it clean." Lin Yinan shook his head with a wry smile, then looked at Lan Ruoyan and asked, "What's the matter with coming back." ”
"It's nothing, I just heard that Nangong Nuo'er came to the house, so I rushed back to ask the master, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on those old ministers?"
Nangong Lingfeng hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't dare to make a move. A few of these ** people have a good rest, and when the rest of the Nangong family comes back, it will be your busy time. Lin Yinan's eyes flashed with a little cold light, and after Lan Ruoyan left, he put his mind on the knife again.
Lu Zhiyao waited for Lan Ruoya to walk away, and also stood in front of Lin Yinan, staring at the short knife, and said in a low voice: "I can see that this knife is not available to everyone." General Nangong's gift is really hot. If we lose it, the Nangong family should use this as an excuse to cause trouble. If it is kept, maybe one day in the future, it will cause trouble to the Eight Emperors' Mansion. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this knife was obtained by Nangong Lingfeng from a prince and minister of Fanbang, so there is a reason why he wants to slander you at that time. ”
