Chapter 34: The Lotus Dream

The rockery is unique in the surrounding stacked stones, the road is coiled, the craggy mountain stones bend along the trees and bend into a peculiar and elegant path, there is a stone carving dragon spraying water at the lower end of the rockery, and the water flows into a clear stream into the pool in the distance.

Ruan Tingge and Ling Chengsi walked together on the side of the rockery spring flow in the Imperial Garden, which was also very similar to the scene of wandering around the lotus pond that day.

"Brother Chenghei has been busy lately?"

Ruan Qingge walked beside Ling Chengsi with light steps and asked in a brisk voice.

Ling Chenghe's expression was gentle, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "The envoy of Nanning Kingdom is about to arrive in Jinling, and he has been arranging the reception recently. ”

Counting the days, it's indeed about to hold a state banquet. Ruan Tingge couldn't help but look deep when he thought of what happened during the state banquet in his previous life.

She seemed to ask with curiosity, "I don't know who the envoy of Nanning is?" ”

Ling Chengsi did not shy away from it, and replied directly, "Wen Ziran, the son of the prime minister of Nanning. ”

A vague figure of a man in white appeared in Ruan Tingge's mind, her pale little face was slightly stunned, and she quickly returned to normal.

Ling Chengsi didn't notice her abnormality, and after answering, he paused, and said again, "Wen Ziran is escorting the princess of Nanning Kingdom to Dongyun and kiss. ”

Although Ruan Tingge had known about this for a long time, he still showed surprise, "Really? I don't know what the princess looks like? Is it beautiful? ”

She looked at Ling Chengsi and said teasingly, "Brother Chenghei is so handsome and extraordinary, be careful that the princess has taken a fancy to you at a glance and cried to marry you." ”

Ling Chengsi frowned slightly, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense," Ruan Qingge pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the stone statue on the side, and said again, "If Brother Cheng doesn't want to marry a princess, you should be careful." ”

Although the princess is a princess, she is a foreigner after all, and she rarely gives the prince as a concubine.

Ling Chenghei felt that Ruan Tingge was still young and naΓ―ve at first, and he said these words in front of him, and he didn't think so.

But when he heard this, his heart moved, and he faintly felt that there was some truth.

He glanced thoughtfully at Ruan Tingge, who was looking at the scenery, the sun shining on her long eyelashes, looking a little fluffy and delicate.

He couldn't help but think to himself, it must be a coincidence.

The two walked on the stone road, chatting with each other, usually Ruan Tingge was talking, and Ling Chengsi occasionally replied, but the atmosphere was very harmonious and relaxed.

The afternoon sun stretched the shadows of the two obliquely on the gravel road, one tall and one short, very harmonious.

A few days later, Ruan Tingge received a post from the Lin Mansion.

Lin Mansion is located in Fubei Street, Fubei Street is the residence of officials of the DPRK and China, the street is clean and spacious, there are fewer pedestrians, and it is a few streets away from the Fenyang Palace.

Ruan Tingge took Lingyu to the gate of the Lin Mansion in a carriage early that day.

The area of Lin Mansion is not as large as Meng's Mansion, but the decoration is also very magnificent, and the pavilion courtyard in the mansion, the flower pond and rockery are all available.

Lin Yunxi happily greeted Ruan Tingge into her courtyard, took Ruan Tingge's hand and led it straight into her boudoir.

The furnishings of the boudoir are also a girlish atmosphere, with pink and white veils and brocade quilts, delicate and warm, exuding a faint fragrance.

The two sat at the tea table in the room, and the maid on the side brought refreshments, Lin Yunxi pushed the dim sum in front of Ruan Tingge, "Come and try this osmanthus cake, it is made of fresh osmanthus flowers just picked in the morning, it is delicious." ”

Ruan Tingge pinched a piece and tasted it, and praised, "The osmanthus flavor is very full, the taste is fragrant but not greasy, not bad." ”

Lin Yunxi's eyes were crooked, and he also took the osmanthus cake and ate it, and said very proudly while eating, "Just thinking that you are coming today, I ordered the small kitchen to prepare a few special pastries for me to entertain you." ”

Seeing Lin Yunxi's show-off appearance, Ruan Tingge smiled, "Then I want to thank you for your intentions." ”

She took a sip of tea and said matter-of-factly, "Next time you come to Fenyang Palace, I will personally cook a few dishes for you, okay?" ”

Lin Yunxi was surprised, "You still know how to cook?" ”

Ruan Qingge blinked, "No, but I guess it's no problem to get cooked." ”

Lin Yunxi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Then forget it, I still can't afford this kind of treatment if I want the county lord of Yun'an to cook in person." ”

As soon as the words ended, both of them burst into laughter.

Ruan Qingge looked at Lin Yunxi's good face, and asked, "Have you still had that dream recently?" ”

"I've had that dream every night," talking about this, Lin Yunxi showed a hint of nervousness, "Even if I don't wear that lotus hosta for a few days, I will still have that dream at night." ”

Ruan Qingge looked around and motioned for Lingyu to retreat, and Lin Yunxi also asked his maid to leave the room when he saw this.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Ruan Tingge took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Yunxi.

"And what were you doing in your dreams?" She asked.

"I was always fascinated by the pond of lotus flowers at first, and then I gradually realized that I was dreaming." Lin Yunxi described the feeling she felt in her dream, but she felt that it was a little unclear.

"When I wake up and realize that I'm dreaming, I'm able to move around freely in my dreams. But the center of that dream seemed to be the lotus pond, and no matter which direction I went, I couldn't leave that place. ”

"I always feel that there is something special about the lotus in the pond, and I vaguely feel that the lotus is calling me." Speaking of this, Lin Yunxi was a little embarrassed, and he felt that what he said was a bit mysterious, as if he made it up.

Ruan Tingge thought seriously for a moment and asked, "Then have you ever been to the middle of the pool?" ”

Seeing that Ruan Tiange actually believed her words, Lin Yunxi was a little surprised, but more happy, she immediately replied, "I haven't been there, I wanted to try it, but last time you told me in the Meng Mansion not to move at will, I didn't dare to go into the water." ”

At this, she stuck out her tongue, "Besides, I can't swim in water, what if I drown." ”

If others are here, they will definitely laugh at Lin Yunxi, even if they are drowned in the dream, it will not be good, at most they will be scared awake.

But Ruan Tingge frowned, nodded and affirmed her approach, "You did the right thing, you still have to be careful." ”

"I don't think it's your average dream." She said to Lin Yunxi thoughtfully, "Since you have the same dream every day and can still stay awake in your dreams, who can say for sure whether all your encounters in your dreams will become reality?" ”

Lin Yunxi actually had this feeling in his heart, and when he heard Ruan Tingge say this, he immediately said in agreement, "That's how I thought, so I'm a little afraid." ”

Ruan Qingge thought of all kinds of wonderful things he had experienced, and thought that this hairpin should also be Lin Yunxi's adventure, so he suggested, "Why don't you start learning to make water." ”

"Huh?" Lin Yunxi's eyes widened.
