Chapter 166: Falling Flowers Are Intentional
Lin Yingxiang was full of smiles, her face was pink, as gorgeous and moving as a blooming peach blossom.
Several people didn't speak for a long time, and the prince seemed to feel a little embarrassed on the side, so he looked for the topic and said, "Has the marriage date of the third brother and the second lady been set?" ”
"It's set, the third day of June." Murong Jun replied quickly, but there was no look of joy on his face that he was about to marry his beloved woman home.
"Then I'll congratulate the third brother here." The prince really didn't know what to say, so he vomited out these two nonsense sentences.
Murong Jun on the side frowned slightly, remembering the prince's intention to come this time, so he turned his head to Lin Yingxiang beside him and said, "I haven't visited the Lin family's garden yet, so the second young lady might as well take me to watch it." ”
"Okay!" Lin Yingxiang couldn't wait to find a chance to be alone with Murong Jun, and when she heard Murong Jun say this, her eyes lit up with a 'puff'.
Lin Yingxue has always been extremely smart, and after seeing Murong Jun and the others leave, she quickly sent her subordinates down.
"Fifth Miss...... "At present, there are only two people left in the courtyard, the prince and Lin Yingxue, yes, the prince will no longer hide the guilt and self-blame in his heart, "I acted too impulsively at the beginning, but I don't regret it, I just want to ask Fifth Miss if there is a way to save those poor ministers under me, they have been with me for so many years, I don't want them to become cannon fodder in the struggle between me and my father......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Yingxue thought that after this incident, the prince should have figured out the powerful relationship, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her was still a tendon.
Lin Yingxue's face turned red with anger, "Don't you understand now, if you don't sit in that position for a day, then it won't be your turn to call the shots in this court!" Just like the emperor's general Li Zhengquan has been dismissed, the emperor's order cannot be changed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what you should do now is to think about how to please the emperor, instead of trying to challenge the emperor's authority everywhere! ”
Lin Yingxue's words were fast and ruthless, and the prince was stunned.
"But ......" The prince didn't seem to agree with Lin Yingxue's opinion, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal after a while.
Lin Yingxue saw that the prince was still trapped in his dead end, and couldn't help suppressing the anger in his stomach and said: "I found out a news, saying that the arms hidden in Jincheng by the remnants of the previous dynasty may be in a village called Li Village on the outskirts, the prince might as well send someone to check it in private, if he can really check this batch of arms, or find the traces of forgetting words, then the emperor must be very happy." ”
After Lin Yingxue finished explaining, she didn't care whether the prince listened to her words or not, turned around and left the courtyard.
And Fang Mengru had already cleaned up early in the morning, but she didn't walk out of Lin Yingxue's room until everyone left.
Seeing the figure slowly coming out of the house, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel that her eyes lit up - Fang Mengru usually dresses just like her character, just asking for a simple and generous, but now after changing into her clothes, the momentum of the whole person seems to be much softer.
Just like this dress-up, different dresses will give people different feelings. In the end, it is a woman, no matter how strong and frank Fang Mengru is on weekdays, she is still soft and delicate in her heart.
Lin Yingxue pursed her lips and smiled, and stepped forward, "It's not too early, why don't Miss Fang stay with me and go back after dinner." ”
"No, I made an appointment with a friend...... Fang Mengru replied casually, and glanced at Lin Yingxue, "Anyway, Miss Fifth has nothing else to do, so why don't you go out to eat with me." ”
"I ......" Lin Yingxue originally wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but when she saw the trace of softness and helplessness hidden in Fang Mengru's eyes, her heart softened, "Okay." She reversed her words.
Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru are not such people who pay attention to pomp, Lin Yingxue is better, she will at least bring Di'er or Leng Yue with her when she goes out, while Fang Mengru relies on her martial arts to be good, and she has never brought any subordinates with her when she goes out.
So the two of them went out and followed Di'er with a ring, if the two of them didn't report their home, I'm afraid no one would know that these two people were prominent young ladies.
"I thought that was you." When sitting in the carriage, Fang Mengru suddenly came to say this out of nowhere.
Lin Yingxue was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, "This has always been a misunderstanding, but I haven't found a chance to explain." ”
When Lin Yingxue said this, she may not even have noticed the trace of bitterness in her words.
"But I don't like your second sister much when I look at Brother Jun." Fang Mengru is straightforward, she has always had the temperament to say something, even if Lin Yingxiang is Lin Yingxue's sister, Fang Mengru has no intention of telling each other politely.
Looking at Fang Mengru's puzzled look, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel a little headache. If it were other people, she could still prevaricate some nonsense such as 'you think too much', 'the second sister is introverted', but Fang Mengru and Murong Jun have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, what is Murong Jun thinking in his heart, why doesn't Fang Mengru know?
"Well, this is between the two of them, I ...... It's hard to put the beak. Lin Yingxue looked embarrassed.
Fortunately, Fang Mengru is not the kind of person who stalks and gets to the bottom of things. She retracted her lost gaze and whispered as if talking to herself: "Actually, what I care about is not whether Brother Jun likes your second sister, I just can't figure out why Brother Jun can marry someone he doesn't ......like" Why don't you want to give her a chance?
Fang Mengru was silent, her faint sorrow melted away like sticky juice, and then she firmly wrapped the two people in the carriage inch by inch.
“…… Maybe His Royal Highness cares about the friendship between you and him? "Because I care, I'm afraid of being hurt.
Fang Mengru stared blankly at the wall of the car, and didn't know if she heard Lin Yingxue's words.
The carriage soon stopped in front of a large restaurant, Xu had already set the location, Fang Mengru directly told the name of the private room to the second er, and the little two led them up to the second floor.
"Brother Meng!" The moment she pushed open the door of the private room, Fang Mengru's excited voice rang out.
Lin Yingxue followed Fang Mengru's gaze, and saw a middle-aged man about thirty years old sitting in front of the table, his skin appearance was not outstanding, just an ordinary person's appearance, but his body exuded a gentle temperament.
"Yingxue, let me introduce you, this is Brother Meng Yimeng, a famous Sword Pavilion Master on the rivers and lakes! When I was ordered by my master to travel in the rivers and lakes before, Brother Meng helped me a lot. Fang Mengru obviously had a very good relationship with this middle-aged man, and she couldn't stop talking as soon as she said it, "Brother Meng, you didn't tell me earlier that you came to the imperial city, and you didn't send someone to the mansion to deliver a letter to me until today......
During the conversation between the two, Lin Yingxue vaguely felt that someone seemed to be watching her, she couldn't help but look up, only to see a veiled woman kneeling behind Meng Yi, the woman saw Lin Yingxue looking at her, so she quickly looked away.
Although there was only a momentary eye contact, Lin Yingxue always felt that the woman seemed to be a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere......
"Okay, Mengru, you haven't introduced me to the identity of the girl next to you." Meng Yi smiled gently, his face was approachable, if he hadn't learned from Fang Mengru's mouth in advance that the person in front of him was not simple, Lin Yingxue would not have been able to associate the person in front of him with the people in the rivers and lakes.
"Look at me, I was so excited to see you that I forgot to introduce you, this is my good friend, the fifth lady of the Lin family, Yingxue." Fang Mengru seemed to be very open in front of Meng Yi, and the smile on her face had never broken since she entered the door.
"It turned out to be the fifth lady of the Lin family, long admiration." Meng Yi arched his hand towards Lin Yingxue across the table, although his brown eyes were very calm, but Lin Yingxue couldn't see any emotions at a glance.
"What is a long admiration, Brother Meng, you just like to drag some sour texts, people Yingxue is usually raised in the boudoir, the first time you came to the imperial city, you have never seen Yingxue, and second, you have never heard of Yingxue's deeds, where did you come from Jiuyang?" After Fang Mengru finished speaking, she smiled to herself.
Meng Yi didn't speak, but glanced at Lin Yingxue deeply.
