Chapter 4: Parade of the Streets
As soon as Su Yuebai returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Chen Zhaoxue, Xiaomei's gums were all exposed with a smile, "Miss, Lord Lin is here." β
In fact, Su Yuebai hadn't met Lin Yemo for a long time, and since the marriage contract between the two of them was finalized, Lin Yemo was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.
Su Yuebai sneered, maybe in the eyes of Lord Lin, he was just an accessory of Ah Niu.
She said in a bad tone, "What are you doing here!" β
Lin Yemo was offended but not angry at all, he smiled with his eyebrows, "Tonight's dragon boat tour in the imperial capital, I think you should want to see it - but looking at Bai Bai like this, it doesn't seem to like it very much, right?" Then I'll go first......"
Lin Yemo opened the folding fan, shook it slightly, turned around and was about to leave, "It's a pity, Lord Liu also specially reserved two seats for me, saying that it was the ...... in the front cabin of the dragon boat."
"Wait-" Su Yuebai was immediately attracted, "Is there anything to eat?" β
"Actually, I don't know." Lin Wangye looked embarrassed, "It's just some street food bars, but many things are only available tonight, and the vendors won't come after tonight." β
Su Yuebai swallowed.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a festival unique to the Lin Dynasty.
In fact, the Lin dynasty has not been established for a long time, and the prince of Lin is only three generations. The founding emperor was still short-lived, and he left before thirty.
Tonight, the lights were bright everywhere, and the people of the imperial capital gathered on both sides of the moat in twos and threes, marveling that this year's dragon boats seemed to be more dazzling than in previous years.
The faithful women tied the ribbon with their wishes on it to the wishing stone and reverently threw them into the moat, hoping that they would get their wish and marry a good man.
Su Yuebai opened the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, poked out a head and looked out, the dragon boat walked unhurriedly, she saw a lot of scenery.
She remembered a lot of the past at once, and the back seat of her father's bicycle was also like this, and before dawn, her father had to send her to school. In the early morning fog, the bike would pass through a neatly arranged woods, and she always thought it was a time tunnel, mysterious and deep.
But now, she really accidentally fell into the time tunnel, but she couldn't find the back seat of her father's bicycle.
"What are you looking at? It's time to get ashore. Lin Yemo patted Su Yuebai's head.
Su Yuebai pointed to a pavilion opposite, where several young women leaned on the railing, "I'm looking there, they seem to be singing songs in their mouths." β
Lin Yemo smiled, "This is not a scene only in the Dragon Boat Festival, you can see them every day." The Tanchun Tower you just saw can be regarded as the largest fireworks venue in the imperial capital. Many sons and daughters in the court have confidants in it. β
The dragon boat was about to land, and he joked, "It's not uncommon for the young lady here to have a daughter." β
Listening to Lin Yemo's meaning, Tanchun Tower is not an ordinary fireworks venue, but more like a high-end club that sells its art and does not sell its body.
Su Yuebai sighed.
"What's the sigh?" Lin Yemo clenched his right hand into a fist to support his head, unprovoked, "But do you think they are more beautiful than you?" β
"It's not." Su Yuebai shook her head, "Those who serve people in Israel will one day be old and decrepit, and they will no longer be as beautiful as before." There is no one more reliable than myself, if it were me, I would definitely not stay in Tanchun Tower forever, I would definitely find a chance to go. β
"Definitely." She nodded, and the light in the distance fell into Su Yuebai's eyes, scattering into starlight.
The dragon boat docked, Su Yuebai walked off the boat first, she didn't stop for Lin Yemo. When you reach your destination, you leave without looking back.
Lin Yemo's gaze silently followed Su Yuebai's back, and his eyes turned cold slightly.
It was already the second half of the night, and the cold wind blew the girl's sleeves. But her back is still upright, as if nothing in this world can crush her burden.
She walked slowly, but never looked back, as if there was nothing worth caring about.
Lin Yemo suddenly got angry and tyrannical thoughts in his heart, he wanted to cut off her future, let her eyes only pretend to be herself, and let her only stay by his side.
He got up and followed behind Su Yuebai, and the candle flame in the distance hit his angular side face, flickering and dimming.
"Bai Bai's legs are so short, but he doesn't walk slowly at all." Lin Yemo caught up with Su Yuebai, praising with a sincere smile on his face.
Su Yuebai's teeth grinded. Ever since this guy knew that his dad called him for nothing, this guy also shouted like this cheekily.
smiled so brightly, but said that she had short legs, Su Yuebai silently added another label to Lin Yemo in her heart, hiding a knife in her smile.
After the two got off the dragon boat, they walked around the busy streets, and after only half a cup of tea, Su Yuebai had two things to eat in his hands.
Jade four happiness balls, golden jade silk osmanthus cake.
Su Yuebai was tired of walking, stopped in a teahouse, sat at a carefully carved rosewood square table, and didn't care about the image of enjoying the snacks she had just found.
"It's delicious." She took a bite of the snowflake cake, and a shallow smile appeared on her face, "It turns out that the snacks of the Dragon Boat Club are so delicious, I originally thought they were not as good as the ones that the chef Ah Niu usually gave me." β
Lin Yemo echoed very facelessly, "I'll bring you here next year." β
He smiled softly, and did not tell Su Yuebai that the merchants and pedestrians she met just now were all pretending to be subordinates in the palace. And these seemingly ordinary snacks were also carefully prepared by him in the imperial dining room, and then asked Jinyiwei to deliver them urgently.
He was born in the royal family, and since he was a child, he has been accustomed to the days of deceit, and if he eats other people's things casually, I am afraid that he will not have the blessing to live to this day. He was suspicious, he wouldn't eat these folk snacks, and naturally he wouldn't try them for Su Baiyue himself.
"I'm going to tell you a secret." Su Yuebai had almost eaten, she took another sip of rock sugar pear soup, and breathed a sigh of relief, "If you hadn't shown up this year, I might have walked the rivers and lakes secretly." β
"So powerful?" He clapped his hands, "I didn't expect you to have this pride, I didn't know that you still had the heart to be a chivalrous woman." β
"Don't make fun of me." Su Yuebai also knew that her lazy appearance didn't look like a person who would wander the rivers and lakes, "I just thought that if I stayed in the imperial capital, my father would definitely choose a husband for me, I don't want to get married and have a baby so early." β
"You're confusing me." He smiled bitterly, he always couldn't understand the idea of a beauty, "But have you forgotten that I will be your husband soon?" β
ββ¦β¦ No one will fit me better than you. Su Yuebai had just eaten it, she stopped the jade bamboo chopsticks, and a smile appeared on her face, looking gentle and harmless.
"The prince looks compassionate and hearted, but his heart is cold and hard, and he will not be emotional to a woman in this life, and I happen to not love anyone. I don't owe each other. β
Her big sparkling eyes are always radiant, and Lin Yemo's gaze can't help but wander over her.
"Love, it's really joyful and sad." She doesn't know the world, but she always has the oldness that has gone through vicissitudes.
He also looked at her, his face was clear, and he smiled shallowly, "There doesn't seem to be such a thing as love around me." β
There are three thousand beauties in the palace of his father, and he respects his mother, but he is also afraid of his mother's family. The most important thing in the mother's life is her mother's family, which is both prosperous and lossy.
Seventy-two concubines in the harem, one hundred and sixty-eight nobles, and countless unnamed little lords and promises were all martyred on the day of their father's death.
Except for the queen mother, there are no concubines in the harem.
This is the edict of my father.
The funeral of his father and the emperor was mourned by the whole country, but the queen mother could not shed even a single tear.
Lin Yemo knew that the queen mother had changed her edict, and his father only wanted the queen mother to accompany the funeral, and he was afraid that the queen mother would listen to the government.
The royal family has never had love, only power.
Su Yuebai sighed, she looked at Lin Yemo's ignorant appearance, and still hid the helplessness in her heart.
"Love is much more serious than liking. You can like to eat pork, you can like to listen to songs, you can like good-looking women. But you can only love a woman, and if you don't see her, you will miss her, and it will be even more uncomfortable for her to be sad. She laughs, and you laugh with her. If she's sad, you're more sad than if the sky has fallenβso you can finally get it, right? β
Lin Yemo was even more dazed, "If my joys, sorrows, and sorrows are controlled by others, wouldn't it be too scary?" I don't want such feelings. β
The moment Su Yuebai lowered his head, his eyes suddenly became gloomy.
If there really is such a person, then he will definitely not show mercy, and he will definitely kill his lover.
Su Yuebai had long known that she was telling Lord Lin like this, and this guy would definitely say so. She complained in her heart, those fans of Prince Lin's support club in the imperial capital should see him so incomprehensible.
The evening breeze was blowing slowly, and a pair of beautiful people added a touch of color to the night.
But next year, at this time, they turned against each other and became a thorn in each other's hearts.
