Chapter 165: Temperament
After Lin Yingxue returned home, Leng Yue, who had not been seen for a few days, also returned.
These days, Lin Yingxue has been putting Leng Yue outside to investigate the news and pass on the news, Leng Yue came back at this time, I am afraid that she has something to say to her.
Seeing that Lin Yingxue had withdrawn, Leng Yue had no extra nonsense, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has collected a lot of evidence of Li Zhengquan's corruption and bribery during this period of time, according to the rumors from the palace, Li Zhengquan is afraid that he will be dismissed and investigated in the near future, but at the same time, there are other ministers who have also been implicated, and most of them are members of the prince's party." ”
Look, she'd said before that the prince was too impulsive. The emperor didn't want to deal with Li Zhengquan in the first place, but the prince had to act against the holy will, and now in front of a pile of evidence, the emperor had to compromise, but the implicated ministers under the prince became the object of the emperor's anger.
"I know, if the prince sends someone to invite me in the past two days, he will say that I am infected with a cold and unwell, so it is not suitable to go out to meet guests for the time being." Lin Yingxue commanded with a calm face.
After all, who doesn't have a little temperament anymore, she is not in a hurry to give the prince an idea, the prince doesn't listen to her, now that something happens, it is good to let the prince have a long memory, otherwise in the battle for the throne, a slight wrong step is a place of no return, if something really goes wrong, she is the reincarnation of the gods and can't save the prince!
"Yes." Leng Yue responded coldly and didn't say much.
As Lin Yingxue expected, on the second day, the prince really sent someone to send an invitation, and Leng Yue and Di'er got Lin Yingxue's instructions and easily sent people back.
As soon as he heard that Lin Yingxue was sick, he immediately sent someone to send a lot of valuable medicinal materials and supplements, Lin Yingxue was not polite, and after accepting it, he asked Miaoqin to count them one by one and put them in the warehouse.
A few more days passed like this, and Mo Yo felt that Lin Yingxue's body was almost better, so he sent someone to Lin's house to invite Lin Yingxue, but Lin Yingxue still blocked her back under the pretext of being unwell.
"Miss, the slave and maid looked at the little maid of the prince's mansion who was still respectful when she came to the door the first two times, but this time she was obviously a little unhappy, let's do it again and again, will it annoy the prince." Di'er has always been a coward, because of the look on the face of the little guy in the prince's mansion when he left today, Di'er was worried all day.
Seeing this, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but shake her head and smile, "Don't worry, your young lady knows it." "As the saying goes, it's only three things, this has been twice, as long as there is news from the prince's side tomorrow, she will definitely show up.
However, Lin Yingxue never expected that the prince would come to visit in person early the next morning, which was a big deal for the Lin family, and even the old lady was ready to come out to receive her in person, but the prince said that he just came to see Lin Yingxue, and he didn't want to make too much noise, so the old lady gave up, and came with the prince, as well as Murong Jun and Fang Mengru.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Third Highness." Lin Yingxue saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly, and her whole complexion looked very good, at least on the surface, she didn't look like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
"There are too many things at hand these days, so I can't come to visit until now, Miss Fifth shouldn't be angry if she thinks about it?" The prince looked at Lin Yingxue with a wry smile, and his tone was very sincere.
The toss has also been tossed, and Lin Yingxue's anger in her heart has long since disappeared. She smiled and was about to answer, but Fang Mengru walked up and pinched her arm, "The arm is so thin, like a thin branch, and the flesh is not firm enough, although the complexion looks good, but Fang Cai's steps are not stable enough when he walks, and he is not athletic enough......"
After Fang Mengru babbled about Lin Yingxue's shortcomings, she finally sighed with disgust: "You women who are raised in the boudoir, you are usually too lacking in exercise, so you will get sick at every turn, in my opinion, in the future, the fifth lady will follow me to learn martial arts to strengthen your body." ”
Lin Yingxue didn't feel embarrassed before, but after being belittled by Fang Mengru for such a big deal at this moment, Lin Yingxue was really embarrassed - shouldn't the prince be embarrassed to expose her pretending to be sick, so he deliberately asked Fang Mengru to treat her, right?
Unexpectedly, being glared at by Lin Yingxue like this, the prince not only had helplessness on his face, but now he also had two grievances, "Fifth Miss, you misunderstood, Sister Mengru was not deliberately invited by me, but she happened to be in my house two days ago, and I heard that you are sick and you have been sick for so many days, so I specially came to visit Miss Fifth today, and I didn't hide it from Miss Five, Sister Mengru also said that I am not in good health, and I have been urging me to practice martial arts in the prince's mansion for the past few days......"
Looking at the prince's aggrieved appearance, Lin Yingxue almost didn't laugh out loud. Although she always knew that Fang Mengru had a straightforward and frank personality, she didn't expect that she would even act so strongly, and she would be able to govern the prince of a country well, and she really had to admire this kind of ability.
But before she could be happy, Fang Mengru's voice rang in her ears again: "In my opinion, Fifth Miss is free, so it is better to go to the Prince's Mansion to practice martial arts with Brother Feng, which also saves me from running on both sides of the Prince's Mansion and the Lin family." ”
Hearing Fang Mengru say this, Lin Yingxue's face suddenly froze, "I ......" Can she refuse?
Before Lin Yingxue's words could be spoken, Fang Mengru seemed to have seen through the thoughts in Lin Yingxue's heart, and a wind swept over, which frightened Lin Yingxue and swallowed back what she was about to say.
The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, except for Murong Jun who seemed to be still worried about Lin Yingxiang's matter and ignored Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue and the prince and others had a very happy conversation.
"Miss, the second miss is here." While talking and laughing, Di'er suddenly said something on the side.
When everyone heard the sound, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the gate of the courtyard, only to see Lin Yingxiang walking in from outside the door at this time, followed by a number of maids and servants-since the marriage between Lin Yingxiang and Murong Jun was decided, the Lin family's attitude towards Lin Yingxiang has changed greatly, and it is only now that Lin Yingxiang looks more like a young lady from a big family.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness, Miss Fang." Lin Yingxiang was courteous at first sight, her tone was soft and gentle, and her courtesy was thorough.
Everyone else was familiar with Lin Yingxiang, so they didn't react much when they saw Lin Yingxiang coming, but Fang Mengru stared at Lin Yingxiang carefully for a long time before retracting his gaze.
"Let's eat some snacks, this is made by Yingxiang himself, let's taste it." As Lin Yingxiang spoke, he personally took the food box from the hand of the girl ring behind him, and placed the snacks in the food box on the table one by one.
"The second sister's craftsmanship has always been good." For some reason, seeing Lin Yingxiang now, Lin Yingxue always feels that there is something stuffy in her heart and she is panicked. She pursed her lips and smiled, picking up a piece of pastry from her plate and putting it in her mouth.
The sweetness is a little greasy, not at all Lin Yingxiang's previous level, but it is very in line with Lin Yingxiang's current mood, Lin Yingxue tasted it a little and quietly put down the pastry in her hand.
Fang Mengru and the prince probably couldn't get used to eating such sweet pastries, so they only ate two bites and put them down.
Murong Jun was the only one on the entire table who didn't move to get the pastries, so everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Murong Jun.
However, just as Murong Jun was about to reach out for the pastry, Lin Yingxiang picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Murong Jun's mouth before Murong Jun could do it, "Third Highness, you can also taste how this pastry tastes." ”
Lin Yingxiang smiled softly, and a pair of water-like eyes stared at Murong Jun fixedly, with a slight glint of expectation in his eyes.
But Murong Jun frowned imperceptibly, he wanted to turn his head away, but he didn't know what was in his mind, and after hesitating for a moment, he actually took a bite of Lin Yingxiang's hand.
'Bang dang', as Murong Jun bit down this bite of the pastry, a crisp sound suddenly sounded, everyone followed the reputation, only to see Fang Mengru accidentally knocked over the teacup, the tea splashed Fang Mengru's body, she stood up, and said with a suffocated red face: "I didn't hold the ...... when my hand slipped for a while."
Fang Mengru is obviously not a person who is good at telling lies, and this lame cover-up made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.
"Miaoqin, take Miss Fang down and clean it up." Fortunately, Lin Yingxue spoke in time to resolve this embarrassment.
