3. Visitors from afar
On the old gray wooden bed, surrounded by a circle of white gauze, as far as the eye can see, on the window lattice, the pillars are floating everywhere are white decorations of various textures, the room is slightly transparent with a clear fragrance, faint, if there is nothing, I don't know whether it is burned with a faint essence, or the furnishings in the house emitted.
Tong Ling'er sat on the bed, her legs crossed, her hands in front of her chest, her chest reflected the ups and downs of her breathing, her delicate and plain little face had a slight red, weakly floating in the texture of the skin, a faint blue color gas fluttered out, surrounding her, she closed her eyes tightly, and her breathing began to become rapid, at this moment, the diamond on the aluminum foil on her finger flashed the light of the diamond sun, and the blue color gas was swallowed in this light, Tong Linger suddenly felt that her body was burning, and she opened her eyes violently, The light stopped abruptly, and the surrounding air turned into a wisp of yellow smoke.
"Why, still?" Tong Ling'er had beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, her hands were clenched into a fist, and she hated her powerlessness when she was physically and mentally exhausted.
"Celestial Princess, everyone is already in the main hall, and the queen asked me to invite you over." Outside, the voice of the dark clouds rang out. Tong Ling'er is the eldest in the Tong family, the second princess Tong Ya'er, the third princess Tong Xu'er, the three sisters don't have much time to get together on weekdays, there is no quarrel or heart-to-heart, but they have always been safe and respectful, in general, Tong Linger still likes the two smart and clever sisters from the heart, or because she is not a person from this world, she can't really get intimate.
"Here it is." Tong Ling'er responded casually, changed into a white gauze dress, and hurriedly went out: "Granny Wuyun, let's go." ”
Looking at Tong Ling'er's beautiful face, Wuyun Zhuo nodded kindly, and he still couldn't hide the regret on his face, with the Tong family's traditional heir qualifications, Tong Ling'er should have the complexion of a blue enchantress by now.
Tong Ling'er followed Wuyunzhuo from the backyard to the hall in the front yard, waited outside the door for a while, knocked on the door, and then slowly entered. The hall is very spacious and bright, and there are not too many people, and it still seems a little empty compared to this spacious hall. Sitting above is the queen mother and some elders in the kingdom who have more power to speak, sitting below is an old woman, although her hair is all white, the skin on her face is still smooth as ever, her eyes are small, with a smile, but she is so gentle and beautiful, through her eyebrows, you can see that she can be compared with the queen mother, the same level, Tong Ling'er's heart trembled slightly.
Sitting next to the old woman is a pair of young people, the age of the young man is just an adult, when he saw Tong Ling'er come in, his eyes contained an eager light that slowly turned into incomprehension and pity, and a woman in a blue and white gauze dress next to her looked at her aggressively, her eyes went from the top of Tong Ling'er's head to her feet, her eyebrows were raised, and then she looked at the man next to her, and found that his gaze was like a torch, and there was a chilling smile on her face. Tong Ling'er also seemed to notice this special gaze, looking back, the woman's hair was all coiled up, revealing a high and smooth forehead, without any decoration, just a hamburger open blue and white flower in the bun, the bone is not very big, but it is very gorgeous, and the delicate face should be regarded as first-class, more elegant than Ya'er's childishness, and more refined than Su'er's gentleness. The age should be no different from their own, but through their eyebrows, they also have the level of qi power, and the identity of the branch level once again shows their intelligence.
"Tong Xu'er, please see you." Su'er seemed to be conquered by the young man's handsome face and superb talent, and stepped forward to salute, but the young man did not take his eyes off Tong Ling'er's body, but said softly: "It's polite." ”
Tong Xu'er looked at Tong Ling'er in front of her with some dissatisfaction, and then noticed the strange woman who came with the man. Mu Yan, who was standing on the side, slowly approached Tong Ling'er's side: "Princess, you haven't saluted the queen yet." Seeing that Tong Ling'er and Tong Xu'er were a little fascinated by the woman, they glanced at it and reminded again: "Princess, princess." ”
The young woman's eyes fell on Tong Ling'er when she saw Mu Yan coming over, and she was a little surprised, but she didn't show anything, but looked at Tong Ling'er.
"Queen Mother, elders, Ling'er is a little late." Tong Ling'er also felt a little rude, so she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Ling'er, Ya'er, come and sit down." The queen nodded.
Tong Ling'er ignored the disdainful gaze of the elders, and looked back, but found that Ya'er and Su'er had already sat down, and it seemed that they could no longer find any extra vacancies to come out, Tong Ling'er's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad: "I was indifferent to me on weekdays, and now I am treated like this in front of the guests." ”
Ya'er looked at Tong Ling'er, whose face was flushed, and laughed, the queen looked at Tong Ling'er's embarrassed appearance, a little distressed, and her face was a little angry: "Don't you know that there are three princesses in the snow country?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Yan stood up: "Princess, sit here." ”
The elders turned their gaze to Du Muyan in the corner, and he stood up calmly and nodded to Tong Ling'er. Looking at Mu Yan's determined gaze, Tong Ling'er walked over in Tong Ya'er's jealous gaze.
"Thank you, Mu Yan, you helped me out again." Tong Ling'er said softly.
Mu Yan smiled lightly: "I just want to be able to sit together like I did when I was a child." ”
"Brother Mu Yan said that you are laughing, now that you are a celebrity in the Snow Country, how many women admire you, don't you tease me when you say this?"
"I remember when I was a child, my body was cold and weak, and after being rescued by the queen to the palace, who came to my room at night and warmed my bones and body temperature with the power of my newly cultivated complexion, so that the cold in my body was discharged little by little, and I will never forget the temperature of those little hands that reached into my quilt and floated on my body." Mu Yan looked at Tong Ling'er gently: "I don't know if the princess still remembers?" ”
"When I was a child, who would remember it so clearly, but Brother Mu Yan had a fever and was confused, and he was a little confused." Tong Ling'er avoided Mu Yan's gaze, feeling a little weak in her heart, if people knew, after all, it would be quite embarrassing for a girl to sneak into a man's bed.
Mu Yan couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart when he saw Tong Ling'er trying her best to dodge, and he didn't say anything more. Tong Ya'er saw Mu Yan and Tong Ling'er bowing their heads and whispering, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart, so she got up and came to Mu Yan: "Brother Mu Yan, I want you and Ya'er to sit together." Ya'er didn't wait for Mu Yan to respond, just stepped forward and took his arm and walked forward, causing some people around him to envy and sigh.
