Chapter 153: Jealousy
When Ye Lingyi arrived, there were already many palace people around the rockery of the Imperial Garden, who were secretly looking into the flowering Imperial Garden, covering their mouths and snickering from time to time with an ambiguous expression.
Ye Lingyi stood behind the crowd, looking at the two people in the imperial garden from afar, and the slender figures of one green and one pink walking side by side were reflected in his clear eyes, and he saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, a very harmonious picture.
The woman is dressed in pink, her complexion is like fat, her appearance is like a peach blossom, her eyes are bright, her lips are beautiful, her eyes are shy, her smile is as fresh and agile as a nine-day fairy who has strayed into the world, and her manners are elegant, all revealing the demure temperament of a famous lady.
The man in Tsing Yi walked beside him, his gaze was extremely gentle on the woman's delicate face, and he raised his thin lips from time to time, revealing a doting smile.
Although Ye Lingyi didn't understand why Helian Che suddenly seemed to be a different person, it seemed that it was true that Helian Che was going to marry someone else.
Ye Lingyi stood stunned, only to feel that her heart suddenly sank to the bottom, originally among the women she had seen, Han Shili was already extremely beautiful, but the woman in front of her was three points more beautiful than Han Shili, and compared to her, it was a world of difference, how could she not feel ashamed and jealous?
The depression that had been piled up in her chest instantly turned into soreness, and when this feeling accumulated to the extreme, it turned into an impulse, she wanted to rush over and ask Helian Che who this woman was, and she wanted to tell him loudly that the woman next to him was just a few days ago, and he only had her in his eyes.
But this kind of thought was crushed by the double pressure of appearance and life experience, and the strong inferiority complex made her legs seem to take root on the ground, and she couldn't move at all, and she didn't even have the courage to go to them.
I could only bite my lower lip, and my hands were clenched blue and white because of too much force.
Everyone stared at the Imperial Garden, naturally no one knew what her emotions were, but they felt that the two people in the Imperial Garden were on the right side, like a couple made in heaven, and they were envious.
"I heard that it is the pearl of the book of the military department, one of the best beauties in Tokyo, and Captain Helian is really a talented woman!"
"That is, how could it be wrong that the Queen Mother personally selected it? Look, Captain Helian likes this girl so much that her eyes can drip honey. I really don't know how many talented and beautiful women they will envy when they get married! ”
The snickering continued.
Ye Lingyi couldn't stand it anymore, so she couldn't hold back the discomfort in her heart and turned her head away.
It happened that Li Yuanlin and a few old ministers passed through the Imperial Garden after discussing things, and passed by Ye Lingyi, who had left.
She didn't see him, just hurried past him.
"Qing ......" Li Yuanlin's expression moved slightly, and he wanted to call her out, but suddenly saw her ugly face.
Seeing the thin figure gradually disappear from his field of vision, Li Yuanlin's expression was solemn, and he turned his eyes to look in the direction she had just walked from, only to see that behind the crowded palace people, it was Helian Che and a strange woman, the two were talking and laughing, the woman accidentally broke her foot, Helian Che immediately looked concerned and supported her, the two were not intimate.
Li Yuanlin, who was watching this scene, immediately understood why Ye Lingyi's face was not good.
His eyes were cold, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who is that woman?" ”
Liu Shilang, who was accompanying him, raised his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled: "Back to the emperor, that is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War." ”
"The military department is still in the book?" Li Yuanlin took his hand, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
When he returned to Danxia Palace, Ye Lingyi was sorting out the Taiwan case.
Li Yuanlin walked over, carefully looked at her serious work with her eyelashes, and originally thought of comforting her words, but suddenly couldn't open his mouth.
Ye Lingyi cleaned up the table, and even Li Yuanlin walked to her without noticing, holding a stack of scrolls to put into the painting jar, but turned around and hit a solid chest wall.
The scrolls were scattered all over the place, and Ye Lingyi touched the tip of his nose that hurt and looked up, only then did he see Li Yuanlin in front of him.
"The Emperor's ......"
was about to salute, but was grabbed by Li Yuanlin's wrist.
"Don't say anything, follow me."
Ye Lingyi was puzzled, and glanced at the scrolls scattered on the ground: "But these ......"
Li Yuanlin didn't give her a chance to speak, blinked mysteriously, took her hand and turned out of Danxia Palace.
When the sky darkened, two figures stood on the towering tower of the imperial city.
Ye Lingyi leaned on the railing and stretched out his hand, feeling the wonderful feeling of the strong wind cruising high through his fingers, the green silk was swept by the wind, slightly messy, and the pretty face was extremely beautiful, the black eyes flashed, and when he looked into the distance, he saw the stars hanging low, connecting with the lights of thousands of homes, like an eternal and beautiful picture.
Looking at such a spectacular scenery, Ye Lingyi's mood relaxed a little, and she smiled slightly, only helpless.
On the side, Li Yuanlin's obsessive gaze always stayed on her face, reached out and took the cloak that had been prepared a long time ago, and gently covered her shoulders: "The temperature difference between day and night in autumn is huge, and the night is cold, don't be greedy for typhoid fever." ”
Ye Lingyi noticed that her shoulders sank, and looked at Li Yuanlin, not as a slave like usual, but asked with a smile: "What did the emperor bring me here for?" ”
"You ......"
Li Yuanlin was a little entangled in his body, and after observing her expression, he said, "Are you unhappy for Captain Helian today?" ”
At the mention of Helian Che again, Ye Lingyi was slightly stunned, and then pretended to be hearty and said: "Did the emperor say that Lord Helian is going to marry the daughter of the military department?" ”
Li Yuanlin's eyes were solemn, although he did not say no, the answer was obvious.
Without waiting for him to speak, she said again: "Who Lord Helian wants to marry is Lord Helian's own business, he was born into a famous family or Lord Duwei, such a young talent, the daughter of the Shangshu family of the military department is of course the best candidate for his wife, she is so beautiful, and her family background is ......."
When he said this, the glass eyes containing the eternal picture froze, and a trace of self-deprecation gradually rose, and he muttered: "I'm just a slave, Lord Helian has found a good match in this life, I'm really happy for him, and nothing else." ”
Her tone was brisk, but she didn't notice that her expression was on the verge of collapse.
Li Yuanlin took everything into his eyes, his mood was complicated, and he lowered his eyebrows and clapped his hands behind him.
Ye Lingyi looked back curiously, only to see the palace mermaids coming, first setting up tables and chairs, and then serving several exquisite dishes and jade bottles of wine.
"Your Majesty, what are you ......" Ye Lingyi was surprised, looked at the palace people who retreated after saluting respectfully, and then looked at Li Yuanlin.
"Sit down!" Li Yuanlin smiled at her, sat down at the table first, and waited quietly for her to come over.
Ye Lingyi looked around, saw that no one was relieved to walk over, and sat down opposite him.
"In the past, when I had something on my mind, I always liked to sit and drink in the face of the vast sea of stars, and no matter how much I was depressed, I would be relieved, this method has been tried and tested repeatedly, why don't you try it too?"
As he spoke, Li Yuanlin poured her a glass of wine.
Ye Lingyi lowered his head, looked at the swaying starry sky in the exquisite jade cup, a trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes, and he raised his head and smiled stubbornly: "Your Majesty, if you think I'm in a bad mood, then you're wrong!" I'm not in a bad mood, the emperor was able to pro-government, Lord Helian found a good match, this happy event is one after another, how can I be in a bad mood? ”
"Green kite!" Li Yuanlin's always gentle eyes were full of concern, staring at her, as if reminding him that there was no need to deliberately disguise in front of him.
Perhaps afraid that his mind would be seen through, Ye Lingyi hurriedly grabbed the jade cup and brought it to his mouth, raised his head and drank it clean.
"Hey......" Li Yuanlin stretched out his hand to stop it, but only caught her hand posing the jade cup heroically, and smiled bitterly: "Don't drink it so quickly, although it is fruit wine, it has great stamina." ”
"It's okay! This wine is mellow and sweet in the mouth, and it is not intoxicating. Ye Lingyi waved her hand indifferently, poured her cup with a smile, and drank it clean again.
I poured several cups in a row, and watched the pretty little face fly red.
Li Yuanlin frowned when he saw this, he originally just wanted her to drink to relieve the depression in her heart, but she didn't expect her to use wine to drown her sorrows.
It's not an option.
Reach over to snatch the jade cup from her hand.
Ye Lingyi, who was drinking with his head up, had a hunch, flexibly avoided it, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, don't take you so stingy, just now you said that you want me to drink to kill your sorrows, so you are reluctant to do it at this time?" ”
"It's not that you're reluctant, if you drink this way, you will not only get drunk, but also hurt your body!" Li Yuanlin was in a hurry, and the outstretched hand was avoided by her again, and she said helplessly: "Obedient, give me the cup!" ”
"No!" Ye Lingyi was like a treasure, holding the jade cup in her arms, staring at Li Yuanlin like a great enemy, her eyes were blurred, her cheeks were crimson, as if she was drinking.
pouted and puffed up: "The emperor doesn't talk about credit, liar!" ”
Li Yuanlin couldn't cry or laugh: "What did I lie to you?" ”
"You...... You're lying to me......" tilted his head and thought about it, and his body shook uncontrollably.
Afraid that she would fall, Li Yuanlin was nervous and got up to hold her.
was pushed away by the latter, frowned dissatisfied, and said vaguely: "You liars, you are all liars...... The big liar, who clearly said that he wanted me to drink to kill his sorrows, is now going to take back the wine! Stingy...... Swindler! ”
After speaking, he lowered his eyes again, the thief laughed twice, swept the wine bottle on the table into his arms with lightning speed, looked at Li Yuanlin who was pushed away vigilantly, clutched the things in his arms like a treasure, and shouted: "It's all mine, mine!" No one wants to snatch it! ”
All right.
Since you can't stop it, it's okay to get drunk, anyway, there will be no accident with him.
"Okay, okay, what you say is what you say, I'm a stingy liar, can't I stop you?" Li Yuanlin couldn't cry or laugh.
"Hehe," Ye Lingyi laughed at this time, and contentedly picked up the wine bottle in her arms, poured it into her mouth according to the bottle, until the last drop of wine also entered her throat, and finally threw away the wine bottle.
After looking up at the vast star dome for a long time, he suddenly looked like a defeated rooster, squatted down in frustration, traced circles over and over again on the cold ground with his fingers, and said melancholy: "Why? Why, exactly? Can anyone tell me? Why did you change all of a sudden, why were you so gentle with that girl, even I have never seen such a gentle side of yours, and you still want to marry her, do you know, my heart hurts so much! ”
Ye Lingyi tightened her clothes as she spoke, looking extremely painful.
Immediately, the hand that grabbed the hem of his shirt paused, but he didn't move anymore as if he had been frozen.
"Green kite." Li Yuanlin frowned, worried that she was not feeling well, and raised his hand to help her, but the moment he touched her, something dripped on the back of his hand, and it was hot......
Li Yuanlin's heart shook suddenly, and the action of helping her was so frozen.
I watched her fragile appearance quietly burying her face in her black hair, but tears kept rolling down like beads with broken threads.
His heart seemed to be dug out alive, and he was thrown down the knife mountain and rolled around, and the feeling of heartache was so clear and profound.
"Green kite, in fact, ......"
Li Yuanlin's eyes were painful, and he wanted to say something, but unfortunately the words came to his mouth, and he swallowed them back after being entangled for a long time.
