The two hugged in the courtyard for a long time, so long that they didn't even finish the wine, Hongling reluctantly parted a little with Chen Jinye, looked at Chen Jinye's face, and smiled slowly: "It's almost time, let's rest early."

Chen Jinye was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Isn't it that Ling'er is afraid that she won't be able to get up again tomorrow, so she won't have a delicious breakfast?" ”。

Hongling smiled slightly, "You can say whatever you want."

After that, Hongling swaggered back to the room, not forgetting to carry the wine jug in her hand, Chen Jinye looked at her grinning appearance, and muttered with a smile: "I don't forget to hold the wine jug when I have to sleep."

After separating from Chen Jinye, Hongling returned to her room and sat down, in order not to attract Chen Jinye's attention, she deliberately did not light the lamp, she looked at the wine jug in her hand indifferently, and drank it slowly, this wine tasted excellent, it was a rare wine, but no matter how beautiful the wine was, it could not make up for the hollowness in her heart.

She knew that the day of returning to the royal capital was getting closer and closer, and the friendship between them would not last long, and soon they would have to keep their distance and pretend to be indifferent in front of people.

The corners of Hongling's mouth slowly rippled with a bleak smile, maybe this was the only night they could hug together freely, but in the end she chose to push him away, not for anything else, just because of the cowardice in her heart, she was afraid of her own sinking, afraid that she would not be able to face life without Chen Jinye, but so what?

Chen Jinye has someone who can accompany him, that's enough, Hong Ling pinched the wine jug and slowly put it in her mouth, just drank it one sip after another, and kept drinking until the wine in the jug bottomed out, and then staggered towards the bed, the moonlight spilled on her body through the window, like putting on a white gauze for her, and slowly covered her face, and accompanied her to sleep......

The next day, Hongling got up very early, she yawned to dispel sleepiness, lazily leaned against the window, looking at the wind and beautiful scenery outside the window, the little maid came very early, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, and after a while, Chen Jinye and Bai Ju also got up one after another, seeing that they all came to the courtyard, Hongling also got up and walked out of the room.

"Good morning"

Bai Ju looked sideways at her and gave a slight salute, Chen Jinye slowly stepped forward, held her hand, and walked towards the hall, it happened that the maid had already sent breakfast early, the three of them sat in the hall, leisurely enjoying the food, for a while, Chen Jinye said to Bai Ju: "Bai Ju, the soldiers who will come out to do business today have been arranged, maybe we need to go back."

Bai Ju suddenly became energetic, "Lord Wang, I'll go and prepare the carriage later."

Chen Jinye nodded slowly, "When the time comes, let Lao Song and the others go back with me, and you will take care of Xicheng for a while."

"Does the prince mean that I don't have to go back to the royal capital?"

Chen Jinye looked at Bai Ju and slowly explained: "For the time being, you may not be able to go back, but I will discuss with my father as soon as possible to come up with a candidate and send someone to station, and you can go back when the time comes.

"Bai Ju only teaches from the prince, and he will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince and return the lives of the people of Xicheng to normal as soon as possible."

Chen Jinye nodded with satisfaction, and settled down again: "Commander Wu and Lord Lu, I plan to let them take charge of the civil and military aspects of Xicheng first, you only need to supervise and assist on the side, and if you have anything, you can communicate with me in time."

"Yes"

Hongling listened to the conversation between the two casually, full of news that they were about to return to the royal capital, she was slightly depressed but indescribable, so the whole person looked very dull, after breakfast, Chen Jinye went to the center non-stop, but this time he didn't take Hongling.

Chen Jinye was busy all morning, Hongling stayed in the side courtyard for a morning, and at noon, Chen Jinye followed the maid back to the courtyard, saying that all the affairs had been settled, and he could leave for the royal capital tomorrow.

Hong Ling smiled at him emptily, and Chen Jinye saw that Hong Ling was different from usual, "Ling'er? What happened to you? ”。

Hong Ling slowly leaned on his shoulder and shook her head slightly, but the hands holding his arms had gradually tightened, and Chen Jinye, who had noticed Hong Ling's boredom, slowly straightened her body, "Ling'er, how about we go to the suburbs together in the afternoon?" It's like we've come to the West Side and haven't taken a good look at it."

"Really?"

Hongling pretended to be excited to respond to Chen Jinye, this may be the last time she has such an intimate outing with Chen Jinye, she naturally doesn't want to leave regrets, and in retrospect, she is not particularly sorry for herself.

Seeing Hongling's excited appearance, Chen Jinye reached out and touched her head, and sighed slowly: "With such a beautiful woman by my side, I naturally won't promise at will."

Hong Ling pulled a big smile at Chen Jinye, her eyes narrowed into a crescent-like slit, and the corners of her mouth were about to fly to her ears, Chen Jinye couldn't help laughing, so he took his hand and scooped a bowl of rice for Hong Ling, "Come and eat, we'll leave immediately after eating."

Hong Ling took it obediently, and sent the rice to her mouth very obediently, her eyes swirled around Chen Jinye from time to time, as if she was afraid that he would lose it, Chen Jinye enjoyed it very much, and accepted it silently as a blind eye, it happened that there was a plate of freshly fried bamboo shoots on the table, Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then put a few slices in Chen Jinye's bowl, "I heard Chen Jinsong say, you like to eat bamboo shoots the most."

Chen Jinye was also stunned, and after glancing at Hongling, he slowly put the bamboo shoots in his mouth, chewed them carefully, and then nodded and said: "Bamboo shoots are indeed rare and good, crisp, sweet and delicious, fascinating."

"Fascinated?"

Chen Jinye sneered, looked at Hongling with question marks on her face, and said slowly: "Ling'er, it's like crispy bamboo shoots, very delicious and tempting."

Even though Hong Lingdang's face was red, she dialed the entrance of the rice again and again, but her eyes kept flowing between the bamboo shoots and Chen Jinye, and she said leisurely after a while: "I'm not a crispy bamboo shoot......."

Chen Jinye smiled gently, and his eyes looked at Hongling more and more gently, "Ling'er is naturally not, if Ling'er is crispy bamboo shoots, where can I be willing to eat it."

Even though Hong Ling was stunned in place as if she had been immobilized, her eyes were staring at Chen Jinye stiffly, but her heart was beating like a deer on the loose, Chen Jinye was really getting better and better at talking about love, and he could always make people's hearts go up and down.

Chen Jinye looked at the stunned Hong Ling, and his heart was filled with an emotion called spoiling, and slowly reached out to pick off the rice grains left at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Hong Ling tenderly, "Silly girl, eat quickly, don't be in a daze."

When Chen Jinye said this, Hongling's face suddenly turned red through half the sky, and her little face, which was already extremely beautiful and delicious, was now as attractive as a small fruit, Chen Jinye quickly leaned up and took a sip, and then pretended that nothing had happened.

When Hong Ling was stunned, she vaguely felt that someone had touched her face, but when she looked around, Chen Jinye was still holding the teacup so elegantly, and the people next to her didn't look like they had touched her at all, so Hong Ling thought that she was thinking too much, and after frowning, Hong Ling continued to eat with chopsticks.

Chen Jinye, who took in Hongling's puzzled expression, hooked the corners of his mouth triumphantly, and couldn't suppress a smile in his eyes, Hongling, who was full, slowly put down his chopsticks, but met his playful eyes at a glance, "What are you laughing at?" ”。

Chen Jinye shook his head, as if he didn't know anything, he dragged Hongling up from the ground, "This king is wondering, Ling'er will be tired of the horses who sent us on an outing after eating so much."

Hong Ling squinted at Chen Jinye dangerously, and said lightly: "You want to say that I'm too fat, right?" ”。

Chen Jinye shook the folding fan, his face full of disbelief, "Ling'er actually understands it like this?" ”。

Hong Ling slowly stepped forward, hooked Chen Jinye's arm, stuck her waist like a bully, and asked in a hurry: "Is it because my education level is too low, I actually misinterpreted the meaning of the prince?" ”。

Chen Jinye blinked, "What is the level of education?" ”。

Hongling was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she had said the wrong thing again, so she waved her hand and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay, when I didn't say it."

Obviously, Chen Jinye had long been accustomed to the words that Hong Ling occasionally said that he didn't understand, but he still asked patiently, "Hong Ling, are you really not going to talk?" ”。

Hearing Chen Jinye's gentle voice, Hong Ling immediately trembled goosebumps, sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Lord Wang, you know what the use of these is, no one will talk to you like me anyway."

"Oh?" , Chen Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously: "Ling'er is so sure that I can't meet someone like Ling'er?" ”。

Hearing Chen Jinye say this, Hongling slowly folded her bracelet on her chest, and her eyes squinted at Chen Jinye, "What does the prince mean, if you meet someone like me in the future, do you plan to abandon me?" ”。

Suddenly being sworn by Hong Ling like this, Chen Jinye suddenly felt flattered, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes betrayed his mind, Hong Ling instantly understood the satisfaction and favor in his eyes, and the old face turned red and quickly turned around and walked out of the door, and said with words while walking: "Men are unreliable, unreliable ......."

Chen Jinye followed closely behind, picked her up, and strode towards the door, "What's unreliable?" ”。

was picked up by Chen Jinye so suddenly, Hong Ling was startled, and hurriedly put her hand around his neck, her eyes were full of surprise, and finally she only muttered: "You, you are unreliable."
