Hearing Shen Fengyue say this, I subconsciously looked at Ling Niankong. But he didn't have any expression, but raised his hand to reach into the front placket and took out a metal card and threw it to the proprietress .

The proprietress hurriedly reached out to pick it up. When the thing arrived, her eyes widened in surprise. "So you're that guest! You're here! It's been two years since you sent someone to make a decision, and no one has come to pick it up, and we don't dare to slack off, so we keep it for you! As she walked to a shelf, she continued, "Look at this thing, are you satisfied?" ”

Ling Niankong didn't move, but gave me a look. I was a little confused, but I walked towards the shelf.

Before I got to the shelf, I was stunned. In the middle of the shelf, there are three white hairpins, and the inscription on the hairpins is handsome and beautiful. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and my heart was inexplicably sour. I saw this hairpin the last time I entered the city, and I guessed that it was given to the original owner by Ling Niankong, so he was going to take the hairpin away?

I stared at the hairpin in front of me, letting the pain in my heart swallow me up. Suddenly, a large hand with distinct bones reached out in front of his eyes, and he took off the hairpin in turn. I immediately closed my gaze and tried to hide my emotions.

"Like?" The man whispered beside me.

I didn't answer, but I felt that the hairpin on the top of my head was quickly removed. I subconsciously raised my head, but he whispered: "Don't move." ”

Then I felt the hair on the top of my head pull, and my heart jumped, and I hurriedly reached out to touch it. Unsurprisingly, his fingertips touched the cool jade.

"You!?" I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and I hurriedly reached out to get it, but was held by his big hand and froze in the air.

I stopped taking the hairpin, but he didn't mean to let go, but stopped me from behind and took me into his arms.

I couldn't break free, so I had to whisper, "This is what you're going to give her." ”

He looked down and pressed his lips to my ear. "It's yours now."

I didn't listen, and continued to take the hairpin, but his hand was clutched by him.

"Forgot tonight's appointment?"

I paused when I heard this, only to hear him continue to whisper: "With so many pairs of eyes watching, if you don't want to be the talk of tomorrow, be obedient." He was obviously threatening, but he still said it very lightly, as if he was trying to persuade him.

I came to my senses and looked around. Sure enough, many people in the shop were looking at me and Ling Niankong, even Shen Fengyue was no exception. It's just that Shen Fengyue's eyes are more yin than others.

Seeing this, I no longer resisted, and let Ling Niankong put the remaining two hairpins on for me.

With the hairpin, Ling Niankong took my hand, walked in front of Shen Fengyue, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Shen Gongzi to also like this hairpin, but it's a pity that this hairpin is made by the person in my heart, and I can't give in." However, I don't want to owe my son, but I recently bought a batch of treasures in my house, if the son is interested, you can visit at any time, Ling will be unreserved, treat each other wholeheartedly. ”

When Shen Fengyue heard this, her eyes flashed. "Oh? I heard that when Commander Ling first entered the officialdom three years ago, he clearly said that he had no intention of falling in love with men and women, and he didn't want to find a good couple in just three years, which was really unexpected by my son. He rolled his eyes and continued: "Since Commander Ling is sincerely hospitable, this son will choose a day to pay a visit. Let's ......" he paused, his gaze turning to me again. "There will be a date later." Shut up and walk away.

******

"Hungry, aren't you?" Out of the Xianyun Fang, Ling Nian said empty.

"Hmm." I replied in a low voice, but I didn't have any appetite, and I just felt that the hairpin on my head weighed like a thousand pounds.

"When you first came here, you shouldn't have tasted the characteristics of Shengjing, so you tasted them all during the festival." He said this so lightly, it was as if he was sincerely entertaining a visitor from a foreign country.

"Okay."

Ling Niankong took me to a restaurant called Qianyake. The decoration of the restaurant is very elegant, and at a glance, you can see that only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford it.

Seeing us enter the store, a group of people hurriedly greeted us, full of surprise. "Commander Ling! You haven't come a day! Or is it a cloud shelter and drinking water is delivered to the house? ”

"No, dine-in, two of you, can you have a seat?" Ling Niankong said lightly.

The guy was shocked when he heard this, but his mouth was still respectful: "There is a seat, you two here, please!" ”

Ling Niankong sat down face-to-face with me and casually ordered a few drinks and food. Looking at his familiar appearance, he must have come often in the past.

The guy didn't mean to leave after shouting the food, and said with some trepidation on his face: "Commander, why don't you dine in the private room?" There are many people in this lobby, if there is one who does not have long eyes and collides with you, won't it make you unhappy? Although you haven't patronized our Qianyak for two years, the cloud shelter has always been kept for you! ”

The corners of Ling Niankong's lips hooked slightly, and he didn't even think that guy was noisy. "It's okay, I just want to take her to the joy of this festival." Yan closed his head and looked at me.

The guy was puzzled, and looked at me boldly, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and quickly lowered his head and said, "The little one understands, and the little one won't bother the two." ”

The restaurant has a lot of customers, and it is really a strong festive atmosphere. The wine and food were quickly served on the table, Ling Niankong picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and put it in my bowl, and said with a smile: "Bamboo shoots in winter are extremely rare, try them quickly." ”

Looking at the warm smile on his lips, I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had to pick up the bamboo shoots and put them in my mouth. The bamboo shoots are crisp and delicious, salty and fragrant, and really delicious. I couldn't help but throw a smile at him. "It's delicious."

He chuckled. "If you know you'll like it, eat more if it's delicious."

I nodded, picked up my chopsticks and picked up the shredded meat from the plate next to me. Just chewed twice, but saw Ling Niankong pour a glass of wine, and drank it all, and the wine spilled on the front of his green clothes, and he didn't care at all. One cup was gone, and then he drank a second, and then a third......

I don't know if the wine in this southern country is strong, and I don't know how much he drinks. But seeing the lonely appearance of him pouring himself a drink, I still couldn't help but be a little worried, and the fragile appearance of the last time he was drunk and regarded me as the original owner also appeared in my mind.

Another glass of wine was gone, and he put it on the table, and went to pour it again, and I grabbed his wrist without thinking. He froze and looked at me along my hand.

"Eat vegetables." I whispered as I added a piece of lotus to his bowl.

Seeing me like this, he put down the flask and said with a wry smile: "What, aren't you afraid that I'm hypocritical now?" ”

I was stunned. He was right, although he said before he entered East City that he just wanted to spend the holiday with me, but he hadn't made me feel better since he found out who I was, so how could I believe that he was uncharacteristically considerate tonight and not calculated?

Looking into his eyes again, wondering what he was thinking, only to see endless self-deprecation in those somewhat dark eyes. Could it be that all his actions tonight are sincere?

"I ......," I was about to speak, but he picked up the lotus clip I had just placed in his bowl and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Eat."

I couldn't make a sound, so I had to chew silently. The lotus clip was fried and crispy, but the fresh meat in the lotus root was extremely tender.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, and they just wanted to do something, but they heard a woman at the next table: "Zhen'er, do you know the origin of this Zhaoyuan Festival?" ”

"I don't know."

The answering Jane was like a silver bell, and she was a very lovely girl.

"I don't know! I'm telling you! The boy sitting next to Jane, who looked a few years older than her, patted his chest and told him about the origins of the festival. Xu is boy is young, and his speech is a little upside down, but he also told the origin, which is exactly what Ling Niankong told me before.

"Wow! The Chosen One! The Chosen One is amazing! Zhen'er wants to be the chosen one too! ”

When the woman on the side heard this, she hurriedly covered Zhen'er's mouth and reprimanded: "You can't talk nonsense! ”

Zhen'er was scolded by her mother but didn't know why, she was very aggrieved, and tears appeared in her big round eyes.

Seeing this, the man sitting opposite the woman sighed, "Madam, Zhen'er is still young, why should she be so harsh? Then he said to Zhen'er: "Zhen'er, come to Daddy." ”

When Zhen'er heard this, she hurriedly pounced on the man, and climbed on the man's knee with her hands and feet.

The man lovingly touched Zhen'er's head and said, "What's so good about the chosen son of heaven?" It's better to be a good daughter of a father! ”

"Isn't it!?" The answer was a young man at the other table, who seemed to have been drunk for three rounds, and his tongue was a little knotted, but he still wanted to speak: "Little doll, don't you know, the son of the chosen one sounds beautiful, but in fact he is very hard!" ”

Saying that, the drunken young man actually stood up and squeezed a seat at the table of Zhen'er's family. Zhen'er's father and mother did not show displeasure, and let the young man gush: "Fengli, oh no, it should be said that it is Beili." The son of Beili Tianxuan has been coveted by many parties since the day he was born because of his ability to influence the general trend of the world. Inside and outside the palace, even Juyuan, Wumeng and other countries have sent people to assassinate or plunder, in order to take the lead and want to dominate the world. Therefore, this chosen son has rarely left his palace since he was born, and only his maidservants and teachers have seen his true face. It was a prisoner! ”

As he spoke, the young man burped. He wiped his mouth and continued: "But it can't be guarded, just when Yan Zhaoran, oh, that is, the son of the chosen one grew to the age of seven, he was really taken away by someone and disappeared. At that time, it happened to be ten years ago when our Emperor Nanli broke through the Imperial City of Shengjing in one fell swoop. At that time, Beili not only lost half of the country, but even the chosen son. When the old emperor heard this, he was so angry that he kicked his legs and died! It doesn't matter if he dies, but it hurts the current Beili Emperor Yan Chexiao. At that time, Yan Chexiao was only ten years old, the country was broken, his father died, and his brother was lost, all of which he caught up, do you say he was unlucky? ! But the country can't be without a king for a day, after the north left the royal family and fled to the bitter cold land in the north, he began to discuss the choice of the king, and chose to choose, and found that this Yan Chexiao could barely be the emperor. But ......" said this, and the young man lowered his voice.
