Chapter 223: Kalisha
Kalisha has always been very confident in her appearance, and her facial features are deep and three-dimensional. Men in the world love beauties, as long as she is given time, she will be able to take down this Yi King.
Such a handsome and extraordinary man is the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with, he is brave and resourceful, he has a noble status, and everything seems to be tailor-made for her.
His fiancΓ©e was not a virtuous woman when she heard this, and it seemed that her family was illustrious, and she must have dared not want her because she was afraid of her.
After comforting herself like this, Kalisa's mood was slightly better.
It's just that when she was thrown out, she was seen by many people, and she stayed in the carriage honestly all the way and didn't dare to make any more moves.
Shangjing, Guogong Mansion.
Lin Youran was trimming his nails, and when he heard Mama Dong's words, his brows furrowed.
"You mean that before our people made a move, that Longrui No. 1 beauty wanted to climb into bed? And then it didn't work out, and was kicked out of the house by King Yi? β
Is this Longrui's first beauty a brain problem? King Yi's kung fu is so high, how can she calculate him as a woman?
It's stupid!
"Alright, let's get our people back. This time, King Yi is afraid that he will be more vigilant. Besides, seeing that they are also going to arrive in Shangjing, they will be back soon. In Shangjing, with the help of the prince, we may be better off. β
"Now the young lady is thinking more and more about things." Mama Dong nodded, with a bit of relief in her eyes.
Lin leisurely trimmed the last nail and slowly got up.
"Mama often whispers in my ear that I should take a long-term view, and after a long time, I will naturally remember it."
Mama Dong helped her to sit down on a wicker chair in the yard and asked the maid to prepare some fruit snacks. Then stand on the other side with a slight smile on your face.
"How's going on over there?"
"Now the prince has a lot of dependence on Wu Tuo, but Wu Tuo feels that although the prince seems to reuse him, he doesn't have much trust in him."
Mama Dong feels that this prince is really not a broad-minded person, and everyone says that there is no need to be suspicious, but there is no suspicion in employing people. But the prince always took advantage of all those who were useful to her, and neglected to give any trust to those who supported him.
Lin Youran is a person who has lived a new life no matter how he says, and she knows what kind of person the prince is. Anyway, I didn't expect the prince to trust Wu Tuo, as long as the prince could rely on Wu Tuo and have some say around him.
"It's okay, it's going to be seen over time. As long as we don't have any bad thoughts about him, it's good for us. β
Mama Dong nodded: "Well, what Miss said makes some sense." β
"By the way, what's going on over there with Lin Zhuohua? Someone is sick again? β
In the past two days, I have seen a doctor come to see Lin Zhuohua every day, but this time she did not come to visit.
"There's news from Chunxing's side that the eldest lady is really sick."
"How is Chunxing's family?"
"The people we sent were secretly watching, arranging the most tiring and hardest work for them every day, and often denying them food." Speaking of this, Mama Dong smiled: "Although the eldest lady seems to be different from before, she is not as tolerant as the young lady in the end." β
Lin Youran smiled faintly when she heard this, she was the future crown princess, so naturally she couldn't be the same as before.
Now that the horizon is broadened, the mind is naturally different. But there must be antagonism between her and Lin Zhuohua, so even if they are verbally allied now, they will still deal with her.
"Miss, tomorrow the prince will ask you out, so rest early today."
Lin Youran nodded, and let the maid wait for her to take a bath before resting, she had to recuperate enough to deal with the prince.
When Li Zeyi and the others arrived at the gate of Shangshangjing, the emperor specially sent the crown prince to lead several important ministers to greet them here, which shows the importance attached to them.
He got off his horse and waited until several ministers had saluted him before saluting the prince, but that was a perfunctory gesture.
"The third brother has made a great contribution this time, and this trip is hard for you." The prince's words on the surface are still good, and he looks like a brother and a friend in front of the minister.
Li Zeyi showed a faint smile, and his attitude was combed: "It's not too early, let's go to the palace and return to our father's life." β
He can't wait to see his little girl now, and he can go to the Guogong Mansion to find her when he recovers as soon as possible.
The prince swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and his eyes fell on Commander Feng's body, and there was a little more eagerness in his eyes. He wanted to take the eldest lady of the Feng family as a side concubine, so he naturally had to have a good relationship with Commander Feng.
"The third brother is right, everyone has worked hard this time, and the sooner you recover, you can go home to rest earlier." As he spoke, he looked at Commander Feng and said, "This time I have worked hard for Commander Feng, and I have taken care of the third brother of Lonely. β
Hearing this, Grand Commander Feng hurriedly shook his head, and said quite uprightly: "This time it is all the credit of His Royal Highness King Yi, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Yi sneaking to King Longrui's side in danger, this battle would not have ended so quickly, and our side suffered the least damage." β
Speaking of this, Commander Feng added: "I heard that the prince went to suppress bandits before, and let us sacrifice a lot of soldiers, so you should learn more from His Royal Highness King Yi." β
Prince: "......"
Li Zeyi applauded Commander Feng in his heart, what he said was really heart-wrenching. The prince, who is used to dressing, has a trace of cracks on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go back to the palace first."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, a minister hurriedly came out to play a round: "The emperor must be waiting in the imperial study." β
The crown prince suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and showed a gentle smile: "Yes, we can't let my father wait for a long time, let's go to the palace." β
As he spoke, he glanced at the carriage that followed, the curtain of the carriage was a thin veil, and he could vaguely see a bewitching woman sitting inside.
A flash of clarity flashed in the prince's eyes, and he was afraid that the person sitting there was the first beauty of Long Rui. Although I didn't see the appearance clearly, that figure was absolutely enchanting.
Thinking that this woman was going to get Li Zeyi's backyard, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry in my heart.
The group walked into the city gate, because the people knew that today was the day when the army returned to Beijing, and they waited on both sides of the street early. Because there are people in the city guard to maintain order, there will not be much chaos.
Lin Zhuohua was sitting in a wing room on the second floor of a teahouse, and from her angle, she could just see Li Zeyi and his party coming.
Even though there was a group of people, she could find him at first sight. The man on the tall horse seemed to have changed a lot, the majesty exuded from his body became heavier and heavier, his skin darkened a lot, and the whole person was a little less sick and more heroic.
Looking at the expressionless appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and this person seemed to look more and more calm.
Li Zeyi felt that a gaze had been falling on him, he raised his head to look, and when he saw the little girl sitting at the window on the second floor, the cold eyes immediately softened, the corners of his mouth rose, gentle and doting, and suddenly weakened the cold breath of his whole body.
"King Yi looks really good-looking now, and he deserves to be the first beautiful man in our big scene."
"Yes, in the past, King Yi's health was not good, but now King Yi has not made military achievements recently, and his body looks a lot better, I'm afraid there must be a lot of ladies who want to marry into King Yi's mansion."
Lin Zhuohua listened to some of the words that came from time to time below, and pursed his lips. There was some unhappiness in her heart, although she knew that these people were telling the truth.
In the past, those young ladies of the family were reluctant to marry into King Yi's mansion, not because King Yi was not in good health, and he didn't know when he might die of illness. Although there is a favor for changing, the prince has always disliked King Yi, after all, the prince is the future emperor, for the sake of the future, most families are unwilling to marry their daughters into King Yi's mansion.
But now it's different, King Yi has made a great contribution this time, and the emperor will definitely have a heavy reward. In addition, King Yi's health has improved, it can be said that this is the beginning of a strong rise, and it is really hard to say who will be in the position of the future emperor.
Now the eldest prince, the crown prince, and King Yi are the most favorable heirs to the throne, although it seems that the emperor has no intention of abolishing the prince at present, but who knows what will happen in the future?
You must know that King Yi is maternal ancestor family is not weak, and now with the addition of the Lin Guogong Mansion and the Huangshang Jing family, it can be said that the advantages are fully displayed.
Their eyes collided in midair, and then they looked at each other and smiled. Lin Zhuohua winked at him and moved his lips.
Li Zeyi looked at his little girl's playful smile, saw her lips clearly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose. Because he understands it, I miss you so much.
He wanted to leave everyone behind and run to his little girl, but he knew he couldn't do it now. Although his father was kind to the little girl, if he really left these people because of the little girl, he would definitely make him dissatisfied with the little girl.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he said to his little girl to wait for him, and then withdrew his gaze, because he knew that she would understand.
Lin Zhuohua retracted his gaze, and then got up: "Let's go, go home." β
Bai Yu and a few people immediately got up to follow, and a few people left through the back door of the teahouse, because the front door had been blocked by onlookers, and it was really difficult to get out. And Shun
Sitting on the carriage waiting at the back door, Bai Yu couldn't help but speak: "There are so many people today, fortunately, our carriage is waiting at the back door, otherwise we will definitely not be able to get out." β
Lin Zhuohua lazily leaned on the cushion: "After solving Long Rui's big trouble, the people are naturally happy, knowing that when the army comes back today, they will definitely come out to greet them." β
Because the carriage made a detour, it took twice as long to get back to the Guogong Mansion than usual.
"You go to the kitchenette and tell me to prepare these dishes for the evening." She made a list and handed it to Bai Yu, most of which were Li Zeyi's favorite food.
Bai Yu glanced at it, immediately understood, and ran out happily with the list.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Long Ruilai's delegation was taken to the palace where they rested by the people sent by the emperor, leaving only Li Zeyi, Commander Feng and others to speak.
Li Zeyi reported the incident at the border pass this time, and then sat on the chair on the side, and handed over the rest to Commander Feng to answer.
The emperor looked at his favorite son and felt that he had changed a lot since he came back this time, and he was a lot calmer. Now seeing that he was sitting on the chair, he was less lazy on weekdays, and there was a little tiredness between his eyebrows, so he didn't ask him again, but withdrew his gaze and talked to Commander Feng.
"Okay, you have worked hard along the way, let's go back to the house to rest first, and then we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds at the palace banquet tomorrow."
Li Zeyi got up slowly, and after saluting, he left the imperial study with Commander Feng and walked straight to the palace gate.
This time, he went out of the palace and naturally brought a imperial doctor back to the palace, and when the imperial doctor left after diagnosing his pulse, he immediately bathed and changed his clothes, and quietly left the palace with the wind.
Lin Zhuohua sat by the window, the evening breeze blowing on his cheeks, refreshing and pleasant.
Counting the time, he should have come out of the palace. Just as she was about to go to the small kitchen to take a look, she saw a tall figure appear in front of her.
He was stunned for a moment, then with a happy smile on his face, he ran towards him.
Catch the little girl who pounced on her, the charming peach blossom eyes full of smiles. He hugged the person, followed her strength for a circle, and then held the person steadily.
Lin Zhuohua raised his delicate little face, and the smile under his eyes spread to the corners of his eyes. Looking at his thin face, the smile decreased a little. Bai Nen's fingers gently stroked it, and he said distressedly.
"You've lost a lot of weight."
The cold touch on his cheeks made him feel distressed, and he held her fingertips: "Why are your hands so cold?" β
Although she had taken the Divine Concentration Pill, the mental power consumed this time was too much, and even if she was carefully conditioned and rested in bed for a long time, her body still hadn't recovered.
In addition, in the past few days, her sunflower water has come, and her hands and feet are a little cold.
"It's okay, it's just that the little day has come." She said with a slight flush in her cheeks, and she was inexplicably ashamed to say this in this era.
Li Zeyi was stunned for a moment, and then the tips of his ears heated up and gradually turned red.
Lin Zhuohua blinked, as if he had discovered a new continent, and said with a smile: "Your ears are red, are you shy?" β
Li Zeyi coughed lightly, took her hand and walked towards the house, changing the topic: "Let's go into the house and say, it's cool outside." β
Bai Yu came out of the small kitchen, and wanted to tell her young lady that the food was ready, and she could eat at any time when she saw the two of them holding hands and walking into the house.
"When did His Royal Highness King Yi come?"
She asked, looking sideways at the red beads on the side.
"Just arrived."
"I'll ask Miss if she can eat."
In the room, the two of them sat on a low couch in the outer room, chatting and drinking tea.
"Miss, the meal is ready, but do you want to start eating?" Bai Yu admired it very much, Miss's time calculation was really accurate.
"Well, just put it on this little table." Lin Zhuohua nodded, then looked at Li Zeyi and said with a smile: "I see that you have lost weight, eat more in a while, they are all dishes you like to eat." β
Li Zeyi was happy in his heart, and held her cold hand in the palm of his hand to warm her.
"Well, that Zhuohua is going to raise all the meat I have lost weight back."
While the two were talking, the food was placed on the small table, and Bai Yu and the others retreated very interestingly.
Lin Zhuohua kept serving him vegetables, and after a while, the plate in front of him was full. He looked at the plate full of dishes a little helplessly, and couldn't bear to make her sad, so he ate them all.
"You eat more."
Li Zeyi raised his head and saw that she didn't move her chopsticks much, and said, "You eat too, I see that you seem to have lost weight." β
Lin Zhuohua complained, can you not lose weight? These days are really uncomfortable, and she has no appetite. Bai Yu and the others made it for her in different ways, but it didn't make her appetite better.
Reluctantly ate a few bites, but she couldn't eat anymore, so she refused: "I'm full, you can eat." β
Li Zeyi's eyes were a little more worried, and he knew best how much his little girl liked to eat food. But she didn't even eat a few bites of the dishes on the table today, which is too unreasonable.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"No, I have a stomachache every time I come in a small day, and I don't have any appetite. When the little days are over, the appetite will be better. She hurriedly shook her head, anyway, it wasn't a lie, this little day she was alone and it hurt a lot.
"Then you rest early after eating, and I won't bother. When you're better, let's go out for a spring outing, okay? β
Lin Zhuohua nodded, she was not feeling well now, and she couldn't chat with him properly, so it was better to wait until she was better to talk to him.
After dinner, Li Zeyi did not leave directly. Instead, he helped Lin Zhuohua to consume food in the courtyard first, and then carried her into the inner room and placed her on the bed. Bent over to cover her with the quilt and sit on the chair next to her.
"I'll leave when you're asleep."
He took her cold little hand with one hand and rested the other on her lower abdomen.
Lin Zhuohua's cheeks were flushed, the big hand covering his lower abdomen was burning, and the hot temperature was transmitted through the thin fabric, which was much better than the soup woman. The pain in the lower abdomen was relieved, and the eyelids gradually became heavy.
Hearing the sound of even breathing, Li Zeyi glanced at the little person who had fallen asleep peacefully. The long, curly eyelashes are like a fan, reflecting a shallow shadow under the eyes. The lip flap is pink and full, and it is delicate and makes people want to take a bite.
The corners of his mouth curled, and he leaned over to drop a kiss on her forehead. Then he slowly withdrew his hand, making sure she wouldn't wake up before turning away.
When he came out of the inner room, he saw Bai Yu guarding several people outside, and ordered: "Take care of your young lady." β
"Yes, lord."
Leave the Guogong Mansion and get into the carriage. The smile in his eyes became more and more intense, although the two did not have any too intimate gestures when they met, but looking at the joy in her eyes, he was happy.
Back at King Yi's mansion, Li Zeyi asked Suifeng to go to his small warehouse to find some blood swallows and parts to send over.
When Lin Zhuohua woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day, and she rubbed her eyes and looked at Bai Yu and the others who walked in with a copper basin.
"After breakfast today, prepare the carriage to go to King Yi's mansion."
Bai Yu and the others should go down, and then wait for her to wash and groom. After breakfast, he got into the carriage and went straight to King Yi's mansion.
This time, King Yi came back from the border pass and made a great contribution, and the emperor gave him half a month's rest. Therefore, if there is nothing to do in the following days, he does not have to enter the palace.
was planning how to spend this half month, when he saw the housekeeper come over with his little girl.
He immediately put down the book in his hand and got up to meet him.
"Why did you come here so early?"
Lin Zhuohua was just about to speak, when he heard Suifeng hurriedly come over to report: "Kalisha is asking to see you at the gate of the mansion!" β
