The peony room is located in the corner of the Jiaofang Palace, which is very quiet, and almost no one sets foot here on weekdays except for Ling Jingshu's master and servant and Hongmei. Today, Hongmei was sent by her to do something else, and only brought Bai Yu over.

This footstep is obviously not Bai Yu's.

Who is it?

Ling Jingshu reflexively got up and turned back.

When the familiar handsome face came into view, Ling Jingshu was stunned and blurted out, "How did you get here?" ”

The two have always had a tacit understanding, and occasionally met, but they only exchanged a few words of greeting. so as not to arouse the jealousy and suspicion of Queen Xu.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan would suddenly come to the peony room today......

"Why do you look like you've seen the hell!" Wei Yan smiled: "Don't you want to see me like that?" ”

There was a hint of ridicule and self-deprecation in the words.

Ling Jingshu subconsciously opened her mouth to explain: "Of course not. I was so happy to see you...... "Wait, what is she talking about?"

That sounds too ambiguous.

Ling Jingshu's pretty face was slightly hot, and she hurriedly changed her words: "I didn't expect you to come here suddenly." So I was a little surprised! There's no way you're not welcome. Don't be careful. ”

The pretty face is flushed, like a peony about to bloom, bright and moving.

Wei Yan's heart throbbed fiercely, almost forgetting his intention. Just looked at her quietly.

For the first time in months, the two of them were alone, and for the first time in a few months, they were able to stare at each other in a bright and bright light.

Wei Yan's eyes were bright and scorching, revealing a trace of emotion that had never been complained to.

Ling Jingshu's heart jumped inexplicably, and she looked away first: "You came to me on purpose, is there something important?" ”

"Yes, I do have something very important."

Wei Yan forced himself to suppress his charming thoughts, and quickly whispered: "Today is the happy day of His Royal Highness the Grand Sun's wedding, Empress Xu led all the concubines to the Zichen Palace for a banquet, and she will not come back until the evening." That's why I took this opportunity to meet you. ”

"Tiandong and Bai Yu are both guarding outside, and this is the most secluded place in the Jiaofang Palace, and no one will come over when they are idle. I only stayed for a stick of incense and left. Even if Queen Xu knew about it afterwards, she would be unhappy at most and would not get to the bottom of it. ”

"Queen Xu is the queen of the main palace in the end, and she has to take care of her face. You can't just get started for the sake of such a trivial matter. If she opens her mouth to ask, you say, "I have come to see you to ask if your condition is improving." ”

Wei Yan was quite thoughtful and took all the situations into account.

A hint of strangeness flashed in Ling Jingshu's heart: "Wei Yan, what are you bothering so much to come to see me for?" ”

Obviously, asking about the illness is just an excuse to perfunctory Empress Xu.

Wei Yan must have another purpose!

……

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind and said in a low voice: "Ashu, I have something important to ask you." It's a risk, and if you don't, I don't blame you. ”

Ling Jingshu frowned: "How did you talk today." Just say anything. Do we two need to be so secretive when we talk? ”

As soon as the words came out, I was immediately a little annoyed.

What's wrong with her today? Talking is always just a brain blurting out!

It's all because of this annoying spring, the smell of flowers and plants floats, and even the air is floating with a restless and unsettling atmosphere. caused her to be impetuous.

Wei Yan took in her annoyance, and the suppressed emotions in her heart began to stir again, and she couldn't help but take two steps closer, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "You're right, the two of us don't need to hide it." I'll just tell you what I'm here for. ”

"All the peonies in this peony room are taken care of by you. According to the habit in the palace in previous years, when the peony blooms in mid-April, Queen Xu will set up a flower viewing banquet. At that time, all the concubines in the palace will each bring new peonies to the banquet and evaluate the oiran. ”

"Queen Xu likes this kind of limelight the most, and the concubines are also good at observing words and feelings. Therefore, every year's Oiran comes from the peony cultivated in the shobo hall. Empress Xu would put the Oiran in the dormitory to admire. This year will be no different. ”

"You take care of the peony room, you must know very well which pot of new peonies blooms the most beautiful and best."

Hearing this, Ling Jingshu had already vaguely guessed Wei Yan's intention, and her heartbeat involuntarily increased: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Wei Yan quickly took out a milky white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and his voice was extremely low: "This is a bottle of potion that I specially concocted. One or two drops in the buds every day can make the peony bloom more large, bright and beautiful. It also gives off a more intense aroma. ”

"Besides, this potion has some other 'functions'......"

Speaking of this, a strange light flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, but he didn't explain much: "This is what I asked you to do. If you are willing to do so, I will appreciate it. If you are worried that Empress Xu will find out, you don't dare to agree, just because I haven't been here today......"

Before she finished speaking, Ling Jingshu had already stretched out her hand: "Give it to me!" ”

Wei Yan's hand trembled and he clenched the porcelain vase. looked deeply at Ling Jingshu, who looked calm: "Don't you want to ask me why you want to do this?" In case a business trip is done one day later, it will implicate you. I'm afraid that I will worry about my life. ”

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly and replied succinctly, "I believe in you." ”

The four words are fluttering, but they weigh more than a thousand gold, and they weigh heavily on Wei Yan's heart. It was like a hurricane, making the waves of his heart lake difficult to calm down.

Wei Yan used a joke to hide his surging mood: "Auntie, aren't you afraid that I will set up a situation to harm you?" ”

Ling Jingshu raised her eyes and responded with a smile: "What about you, aren't you worried that I will turn my face and report this matter to Queen Xu?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

A thousand words came to mind. However, in the end, Wei Yan didn't say anything.

He gently put the porcelain vase into Ling Jingshu's palm.

Ling Jingshu did not hesitate to put the porcelain vase into her purse.

The two looked at each other, and only they knew the chaotic thoughts surging in their hearts.

"Time is running out, I'll tell you a few more words and leave."

Wei Yan suppressed all his thoughts and said softly: "Only you know about this matter, and you must not let the third person know, even if it is Bai Yu, don't tell sù." Also, you must be cautious and careful when you use potion to drop flower buds. Don't let people notice. ”

"If you're seen by accident, you don't have to panic. Let's just say that this is a secret recipe that you specially blended to make the peony bloom better. This is a potion that I have carefully concocted, and even if the porcelain bottle is taken away and examined, I can't find out the real mystery in it. (To be continued.) )
