Chapter VII Temporary Assignments (I)

Ling Chengsi knew what King Fenyang was, so he didn't say much, but nodded lightly with a faint expression, "The prince is going to deal with urgent matters." With that, he turned his head slightly and looked to the west of the palace.

Although it is autumn, the lotus flowers in the pond and pavilion in the west are not there, and the lotus leaves are withered, but the pond of lake water accompanied by the winding verandah pavilion still has a unique flavor.

Neither of them spoke, and after a long silence, the king of Fenyang spoke, "The third prince will stay in the mansion and have lunch before leaving." ”

Ling Chengsi didn't have any superfluous reactions when he heard this, and responded directly.

King Fenyang knew that Ling Chenghe's character was so silent, and he didn't think it was strange, "It's still a while before lunchtime, I see that the third prince also likes the lotus pond in my palace, and I asked Wei Feng to accompany you to go shopping." ”

Ling Chengsi nodded slightly, and then stopped speaking.

There is a bamboo forest planted next to the lotus pond.

The bamboo forest is evergreen in all seasons, the bamboos are light and delicate, the breeze sweeps, the bamboo forest sways gently, and makes a rhythmic sound, just like a beautiful music drifting slowly.

Wei Feng led Ruan Chengsi to wander in the verandah by the lotus pond. Seeing the third prince looking at the bamboo forest, Wei Feng said with a smile on the side, "Our prince loves the integrity of bamboo the most, so he asked someone to plant a bamboo forest next to the lotus pond, and felt that bamboo and lotus flowers could complement each other." ”

Ling Chengsi felt that this little guy was quite literary in his speech, and couldn't help but glance at him more.

"It's autumn now, the lotus leaves are withering, and the lotus flowers are nowhere to be seen." Wei Feng continued to introduce there, "The lotus pond is the most beautiful in summer, and the scenery at that time is described in the words of the poem. ”

Ling Chengsi stood on the verandah with his hands behind his back, looking at the lake and the bamboo forest in the distance, smelling the fragrance of bamboo leaves, his worries couldn't help but disappear a lot, he chanted softly, "The lotus wind sends the fragrance, the bamboo dew drops are clear, and the prince of Fenyang is so Yaxing." ”

His eyes suddenly moved, and he saw two figures appear in front of the bamboo forest.

A girl in a brocade cloak stopped by the lotus pond, followed by a woman dressed as a maidservant. The girl's chin was slightly tilted, looking at the remnants of the lotus in the distance, and the golden autumn light illuminated her face extraordinarily warm.

Her pale little face is childish, with just the right amount of innocence and delicacy, like a budding peony flower, which is slowly blooming with her own delicacy without hurry.

The girl suddenly lowered her head and said something to the maid on the side, the corners of her mouth were playfully curved, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes, which was particularly cute and vivid.

Ling Chengsi looked at the girl in front of the bamboo forest intently, and was stunned by her for a while.

"Why is the county lord there?" Wei Feng's voice sounded next to Ling Chengsi, waking Ling Chengsi back.

Wei Feng muttered in a strange voice, "The county lord didn't come here impatiently on weekdays...", he didn't think much about it, just glanced at Ling Chengsi with some distress.

He was hesitant to tell the county lord to come over and greet the third prince, but he was worried that the prince didn't want the county lord to get too close to the third prince.

Although Dongyun Country pays attention to the defense of men and women, it is not harsh to the point that unmarried men and women are not allowed to meet, and the style of Dongyun Country is prevalent, and it pays attention to literary style and style, and there is not too much dogmatic constraint on women.

Before Wei Feng could think about the result, the girl in front of the bamboo forest saw the two people on the verandah, and walked towards the verandah with the maidservant.

As the girl stepped in, her face and demeanor became clearer.

Her stride posture is not as graceful as everyone's ladies, it seems to be a little careless, casual and moving, but with a trace of elegance and nobility engraved in her bones.

Wei Feng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the county lord." He whispered something again, and the girl looked up at Ling Chenghe.

Although Ling Chengsi stood still, when he saw the girl's eyes looking at him, his face had waves that were not easy for outsiders to notice.

Ruan Tian looked at Ling Chenghe, she didn't pay much attention to this third prince in her previous life, she only occasionally glanced at it when he was going to and from the palace, and she didn't have much impression.

Looking at him face to face now, I found that his temperament and appearance were no worse than Ling Chengyu, and even a few points better.

Dressed in a dark robe, except for some thin patterns at the neckline, there is no embellishment in the rest of the place, but it seems that his figure is becoming more and more slender and slender. His face is delicate and handsome, his dark eyes are sharp and deep, but his lips are tightly pursed without a smile, giving people an aura that is difficult to approach.

"I've seen the three princes." Ruan Tingge had a polite smile on his face, and a pair of big eyes stared at Ling Chenghe, staring at him a little uncomfortable.

Ling Chengsi looked away and said lightly, "The county lord doesn't have to be polite. ”

Ruan Qingge waved his hand to let Wei Feng and Lingyu stand a little farther away, staring at Ling Chenghe's expressionless face, and asked with a sweet smile on his face, "Is the third prince here to find my father?" ”

Ling Chengsi didn't like to talk much in front of people, so he just nodded and didn't speak.

Ruan Qinge didn't expect Ling Chengsi to be such a taciturn person, and she was stunned for a while, but soon she blinked and continued, "Actually, speaking of which, the third prince, you are still my cousin, I see you today and I like it very much, can I call you Brother Chengsi in the future?" ”

Ruan Qinge said these words that were completely different from her previous personality without changing her face, but her heart became more and more indifferent and calm.

Ling Chengsi couldn't help but move his lips when he heard the innocent words of the girl in front of him, and asked, "Why am I your cousin?" ”

Ruan Tingge's eyes rolled, and he explained to Ling Chengsi seriously, "You see, the current Queen Mother is my grandmother's sister-in-law, and the former queen is also my father's sister, so it's not an exaggeration for me to call you my brother." ”

Ling Chengsi smiled for a while, looking at the girl with a hint of cunning in front of him, and felt that arguing with her about these plain things had lowered his age.

Ruan Tingge saw the helpless look in Ling Chenghe's dark eyes, and said with some unconvinced, "That's how it was calculated, when I entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, I always called her aunt and grandmother." ”

Seeing Ruan Qinge showing a trace of grievance, Ling Chenghe's heart softened, and he said, "If that's the case, it's okay for you to call me brother." ”

Ruan Tingge showed a bright smile, and his eyes were crooked like a triumphant little fox.

She tilted her head suddenly, and asked playfully, "Brother Chenghei, do you like this lotus pond?" Shall I show you around? ”

Seeing that she changed her mouth very smoothly, Ling Chengsi shook his head helplessly, although the expression on his face had always been faint, but the corners of his mouth had quietly raised a trace of arc. He looked at Ruan Qinge's attentive little expression, although he felt that her temperament seemed to be a little different from what he had heard, but he didn't think about it so much, and said, "It's okay to walk around." ”

Wei Feng and Ling Yu, who were standing in the distance, saw the two masters start to talk and laugh and walk forward, although they were surprised in their hearts, they still hurriedly followed.
