20. Chasing the wind is scattered
That night, Zhao Ling easily climbed over the wall and entered the Yimei Courtyard, but today's Yimei Courtyard was pitch black, but fortunately, the moonlight was clear and illuminated the courtyard.
He looked at Jasper standing outside the door, his eyes were blank like a paper man, and he was startled: "Jasper? How do you stand outside? What about Mer? ”
Jasper turned sideways, hiding her swollen cheeks, and pushed open the door and said, "The girl is inside!" ”
Zhao Linghu looked at her suspiciously, hesitated to step into the threshold, and asked, "Why don't you light the lamp?" ”
"Your Highness will know when you go in." With an unceremonious push, Zhao Ling staggered into the room, and before he could reprimand, the door behind him had been quickly closed by Jasper's eyes.
The room was pitch black, the window screen was shining in a little moonlight, not very bright, Zhao Ling explored while touching, and found the bed like a blind man. He touched the bedpost and saw a person sitting in front of the bed, and his figure was blurry and couldn't see clearly, so he asked, "Mei'er, why don't you light the lamp?" ”
The man in front of the bed snorted from his nose and did not answer.
Zhao Ling groped and sat down beside her, smelled a smell of chasing the wind, and joked: "Did Mei'er just come back from her grandmother?" Why did you put up the dog skin plaster? ”
The voice of the person next to him was a little old, and he was slow: "Your Highness's nose is really smart!" ”
"Mom!" Zhao Ling bounced up from the edge of the bed as if she had been stung by a wasp, "Why is the old lady here?" ”
The old lady's voice was cold: "It's not strange that the old man is here, but His Highness is out of character here." ”
His Royal Highness wanted to summon Quan An to hold the lamp, only to remember that he had sneaked in, so he called: "Jasper! Come on! ”
This dead girl didn't hold the lamp, and almost molested the old lady of the Lin family.
Old Madam Lin took out the fire fold from her sleeve and lit the bedside lamp, and the light went from dark to bright, illuminating the embarrassed face of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"His Royal Highness came to talk to Mei'er at night, which is a little out of place."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face is blue and bright, but he is a human spirit who has been immersed in officialdom since he was a child, and improvisation is a necessary skill. Immediately dressed up, pulled a chair and sat down elegantly, and said idly: "The old lady is not good at this, she is busy with government affairs during the lonely day, and she can only have some free time at night, so it is not abrupt to come here at night." ”
"Entering over the wall is not in accordance with etiquette. Why didn't Your Highness go through the gate? The old lady asked aggressively.
"It's just that I'm afraid of bothering the doorman to report it, and it's just a waste of time."
The old lady's smile grew cold: "Your Highness is so clever that even the old body can't say anything about you, no wonder Mei'er will be coaxed by you." ”
At this time, the door opened, and Biyu held the lamp in her hand, leading Lin Qingmei in. Lin Qingmei was happy when she saw Zhao Ling and rushed forward: "Brother Ling, are you hungry?" Mei'er made you osmanthus sugar lotus. She held up the food box in her hand.
Zhao Ling smiled dotingly: "Mei'er was not in the room just now, did she go to make me something to eat?" He threw a glance at the old lady: the old lady really knows how to get stitches!
Lin Qingmei nodded heavily: "Well, Brother Ling gave Mei'er a gift, and Mei'er also wants to be good to you." ”
She opened the food box and took out the osmanthus sugar lotus, Zhao Ling twisted a piece and ate it, the fragrance of osmanthus soaked into the heart and spleen, the lotus root was crisp and tender, but the sugar was more: "Well, it's delicious, Mei'er remember to put less sugar next time." Or it's also good to make glutinous rice lotus. ”
Lin Qingmei wrote it down carefully, nodded her head, and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, shiny.
The old lady on the side said in a cool tone: "Next time?" Your Royal Highness, the old body has a message to persuade you, it is better to eat less if you are greedy and chew more. ”
The old lady paused and said, "Eat less, come less." ”
Zhao Ling smiled gently: "I heard that the elderly go to bed early and get up early is the way to maintain their health, it's not too early, the old lady should go back to the room to rest." Without waiting for the old lady to refuse, she called out to Jasper: "Jasper! Send the old lady back to her room to rest! ”
When Biyu entered the house, the old lady was angry and wanted to refuse, but Zhao Ling seemed to play with the token on her waist unintentionally, and the old lady swallowed her words back, stood up more and more angrily, and left angrily.
Take the status to oppress people, put up with him for three points first!
After the old lady left, Zhao Ling pulled Xiao Qingmei into his arms and sniffed vigorously in her hair, Lin Qingmei said strangely: "What is Brother Ling smelling?" Does Mer's head stink? ”
Zhao Ling shook his head, feeling very strange in his heart. Thinking that he almost took the old lady for Xiaomei'er, he had to sniff Lin Qingmei vigorously to brush away the lingering smell of chasing the wind in his heart.
"Mei'er just made osmanthus sugar lotus, how can it stink? There is a fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which smells very good. "Nowadays, as long as he doesn't have the taste of chasing the wind, he is reassuring.
The next day, Zhao Ling got up early to go to court as usual, and he said to Lin Qingmei, who was sleeping in a daze: "I was busy dealing with your grandmother last night, but I forgot to explain something to you." Yesterday, your sister Lan went to the palace to find me and asked for that pot of orchids. Mei'er should take good care of the flowers, and don't let her spoil them. ”
Xiao Qingmei was sleepy-eyed, her clear eyes seemed to be foggy, and her voice was soft and hazy.
After dawn, I went to the old lady's room for breakfast, and the old lady asked Biyu: "Did the prince leave last night?" ”
Lin Qingmei thought that her grandmother had seen Brother Ling, so she said, "Grandmother, Brother Ling will leave in the fourth watch, does grandmother want to see him?" ”
The old lady panicked: "No, my wife still wants to live a few more years." ”
It just so happened that the Wang family also came with Lin Yulan, and the old lady remembered that she sent people to Liuxia Village, and her heart was even more blocked. After finishing breakfast, she asked Wang: "How is the marriage between the prince and Yulan progressing recently?" ”
Wang said: "The daughter-in-law is still worried about choosing a concubine. She said and looked at Lin Qingmei, and when the old lady saw it, she was angry: "The concubine can just find two children to marry, do you want to beat Mei'er's idea?" ”
Wang said "I don't dare", but his mind is still there: "I just thought that the prince had trespassed into Mei'er's room before, Mei'er was no longer innocent, it was better to marry into the East Palace together, and also solve my mother's thoughts." ”
Old Madam Lin couldn't wait to tear her mouth apart, so she only pressed her anger and asked Lin Yulan: "What does Yulan think?" ”
"Grandmother, Magnolia doesn't think it's appropriate." Lin Yulan saw Wang's blaming eyes, and she didn't feel like a mang on her back, she said: "Mei'er is a concubine after all, how can she become a concubine?" I'm afraid I'm afraid of ruining my identity. ”
Lin Yulan now doesn't want Lin Qingmei to have anything to do with the prince no matter what, the prince's attitude is very subtle now, she can't have the courage to test again and again.
Old Madam Lin sneered: This mother and daughter are not well-intentioned, and the Wang family wants to let Mei'er enter the palace because they want to get rid of this burden. Yulan didn't want her to enter the palace, because she wanted to marry her to the country mud leg, and from then on she fell from the clouds to be inferior.
