Lin Ruan smiled proudly: "Of course, because we all understand that there are some people who can give up if you take a step back." In that case, why bother yourself to take that step back? ”

Positive and rigid is her style. Regression and forbearance? Inexistent.

Princess Changle couldn't help but hold her forehead, if these two people really become relatives in the future, they will join hands again and get rid of the two scourges.

The palace banquet lasted for nearly an hour, and then an attendant came over to spread the word, saying that the Taiji Hall had ended.

The queen immediately announced the end of the palace banquet, and everyone said goodbye to the queen and left the table one after another. Lin Ruan was about to leave, but was pulled by Princess Changle, and when she turned her head, she saw that Princess Changle was squeezing her eyebrows and signaling to follow her.

Princess Changle took Lin Ruan's master and servant to avoid everyone, made a few rounds, and then arrived at the place where Xiao Jingchen originally lived.

Xiao Jingchen was already waiting there, and there was a handsome young man standing next to him.

When Princess Changle saw the man, she ran over with a smile.

The man stretched out his hand to hold Princess Changle and asked gently, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Princess Changle flattened her mouth: "In addition to the things at the palace banquet, where can I eat, I am almost starving to death, and my hands are cold when I am hungry." ”

The man thoughtfully put her hand under his armpit and said softly, "Before I came out, I had already instructed someone to prepare food, and I could eat it when I got home in a while." ”

Princess Changle pursed her lips and smiled: "Husband, you are so good." ”

It turned out that this person was Princess Changle's attached horse, Ji Lingyang.

On the other side, Xiao Jingchen had already arrived in front of Lin Ruan, took out an oiled paper bag like a trick, opened it and handed it to Lin Ruan: "Eat something first." ”

Lin Ruan looked down and saw that what was wrapped in the oiled paper bag was a big chicken leg.

Suddenly, Lin Ruan smiled: "With such a big chicken leg, aren't you afraid that others will smell it?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said lightly: "They will think that they smelled wrong." ”

After all, no one dares to doubt that the dignified Prince Xiao will hide chicken legs on his body!

Princess Changle looked at the big chicken leg in Lin Ruan's hand from the side, and said to her attached horse angrily: "Why does my cousin know how to prepare chicken legs, but you don't prepare anything?" Sure enough, you said that you would be good to me, but you were all talking about coaxing me! ”

Ji Lingyang: ......

Because of the chicken leg incident, Princess Changle lost her temper.

Lin Ruan was fortunate to witness a scene with Ma Ye coaxing the princess.

After Princess Changle and her husband left noisily, Xiao Jingchen took Lin Ruan to the direction of the palace gate.

Lin Ruan nibbled on chicken legs as he walked.

In fact, she was not very hungry, although the food at the palace banquet was cold, it still tasted good, and she also ate a lot.

But this is Xiao Jingchen's intention, and she is naturally reluctant to waste it.

Xiao Jingchen reached out and took the chicken leg back: "Don't eat if you're not hungry, beware of accumulating food." ”

Then he handed over a handkerchief, asked her to wipe her hands, and asked casually, "I heard that you danced at the palace banquet?" ”

Lin Ruan grinned: "You're quite well-informed, so have you heard that I'm amazing?" ”

Xiao Jingchen looked at her smug appearance and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I didn't know you could dance." ”

Lin Ruan was in a very good mood, and his eyes were crooked with a smile: "It will be that one, and nothing else will be anything." When I have a chance in the future, I'll show you alone. ”

Now the smile on the corner of Xiao Jingchen's mouth deepened, "The Queen Mother wants to give you a marriage?" ”

"Well," Lin Ruan nodded, "I blocked it back, but I'm a little worried that the Queen Mother will annoy me." ”

After all, she is Xiao Jingchen's most respected elder, and she still cares a little about the Queen Mother's opinion of her.

Xiao Jingchen smiled: "It's okay, I'm here." ”

Lin Ruan also smiled at him, and the two of them didn't say anything more, and walked side by side in the direction of the palace gate.

In fact, Lin Ruan knew in his heart that the Queen Mother would not have a good time. Xiao Jingchen respects the Queen Mother so much, so naturally he can't be too tough, so as not to make the Queen Mother sad, so this matter has to be thought out slowly.

But for now, she has at least a year to avoid worrying about the Queen Mother marrying her, and as for what will happen in a year, she will talk about it then.

And she still has the jade pendant given to her by the emperor in her hand, if the queen mother really wants to marry her, she will take the jade pendant to the emperor to give her a marriage.

I just don't know if the emperor's words are good with the queen mother.

Don't make other people's mothers and sons suspicious, right?

Lin Ruan thought about whether there were any of these in his heart, and he arrived home after a while.

Xiao Jingchen followed into the house together: "Accompany you to keep the New Year." ”

Lin Ruan smiled sweetly, and then ordered someone to prepare the meal. Although she is not very hungry, she can't sit still.

Soon, a steaming hot pot was brought into the hall. All kinds of dishes were also served, and the table was filled.

Lin Ruan and Xiao Jingchen sat opposite each other, eating with and without a pair.

Xiao Jingchen is a person who eats and does not sleep, but Lin Ruan likes to chat with his family during meals, so the two of them sit together to eat and eat something else, but if eating hot pot is like this, Lin Ruan really can't bear it.

"No, it's too awkward to eat hot pot like this!"

Lin Ruan put down his chopsticks and wrinkled his eyebrows very unhappily.

Xiao Jingchen stopped and looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Ruan snorted: "How can anyone who eats hot pot not say a word?" You know that it doesn't affect your appetite? ”

Xiao Jingchen also accommodated her: "Then what do you say you want to do?" Chat? ”

Lin Ruan rolled his eyes, to be reasonable, when Xiao Jingchen was with her, although he was not cold, but chatting about this kind of thing was not worthy of him at all.

Thinking about it, Lin Ruan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I heard that you are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded unceremoniously: "Indeed." ”

Lin Ruan grinned: "Then can you play the piano for me?" ”

"Why not." Xiao Jingchen readily agreed to come down and let people go back to the house to get the piano.

Lin Ruan blinked: "Don't be so troublesome, I also have it in my house." ”

Although she can't play, it doesn't mean that her family doesn't have it, and she doesn't lack this kind of standard configuration for rich people.

Xiao Jingchen nodded: "I am more comfortable with my own piano." ”

The distance between the two mansions was not too far, and it didn't take long for the piano to be retrieved.

Lin Ruan looked at the thick sense of age of the guqin, and knew that this qin was very valuable.

Xiao Jingchen set the piano in place, and then gently plucked the strings, and the guqin made a dingdong, which was very pleasant.

Lin Ruan nodded suddenly: "No wonder you have to go out of your way to get the piano, it turns out that you can't look down on the timbre of an ordinary piano." ”

Xiao Jingchen smiled: "This piano was left by my mother, when she was alive, she loved to use this piano to play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", how about I also play this song for you?" ”

Lin Ruan actually didn't really have much research on classical music, just now he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere and make trouble for him, but he didn't expect him to bring such a significant piano so seriously.

So he quickly nodded: "Okay, you play, I'll listen." ”
