In the deep palace, Chen Yicong was painting his eyebrows for Bai Ling.

He wasn't good at these things originally, but after frequent practice over this period of time, Chen Yicong already had some experience.

Bai Ling lowered his eyes and looked gentle.

Chen Yicong sometimes looks at such a Bai Ling in a daze.

Not long after she woke up, even after washing, she still had a bit of morning laziness and a little idleness, which made Chen Yicong's heart soft.

Today has just come out of the New Year's Festival, so there is no early court, but there are still some regular meetings in the morning that cannot be escaped, and in between these moments, Chen Yicong is still willing to take time to come to the small courtyard and have breakfast with Bai Ling.

Since the last visit to Yikang, Boling's attitude towards him has almost completely unchanged.

This surprised Chen Yicong, who originally thought that when he came to the small courtyard that night, he would face Bai Ling's monstrous anger.

He is also ready to respond positively.

But the scene he imagined didn't happen at all—Bai Ling was still the same as before, the two of them eating, chatting, and walking, no different from before.

Could it be that Yikang went to the palace and didn't tell Bai Ling about the outside world?

Chen Yicong was puzzled, but then felt clear.

This is nothing more than two possibilities, one is that Yikang understands Bai Ling's current situation, so in order not to worry her, he really hides everything that happened outside.

On the other hand, Bai Ling fully understood his situation and understood that all struggles were meaningless, so he accepted his fate obediently.

Either way, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Burringn is as willingly by his side as he is now.

And during this period of time, Bai Ling never mentioned going out of the palace again, and when Chen Yicong was away, she didn't even go out of the door of the small courtyard. There were also a few moments when he inadvertently captured Bai Ling's loneliness, but everything was fleeting.

This kind of bit by bit makes the balance in Chen Yicong's heart slowly tilt towards the latter.

Bai Ling's silence on this matter sometimes touched him, and sometimes he felt tormented.

During this New Year's Festival, Chen Yicong had a rare few days of leisure, and he stayed with Bai Ling almost every day in those days, talking to her, or painting her eyebrows and red makeup as he did now.

He would do everything in his power to compensate for what he had taken from Burling...... Chen Yicong is determined to do so.

"Alright." Chen Yicong stopped, "Look, do you like it?" ”

Bai Ling didn't answer directly, but she smiled and looked left and right in front of the mirror before nodding, obviously very fond of it.

This attitude fascinated Chen Yicong.

"What time is it?" Bai Ling asked suddenly.

Zhao Qi, who was not far away, replied, "Back to the medicine, the hour is almost over." ”

Bai Ling's eyebrows raised slightly, and he turned around and said, "The saint should almost leave, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"What's the matter if it's late...... Chen Yicong said with a smile, but he did stand up.

Bai Ling took over Chen Yicong's big coat from Zhao Qi's hand on the side and put it on for him with his own hands.

"I may go out of the city with a few ministers of the cabinet today," Chen Yicong raised his head and asked Bai Ling to tie the belt above the big coat for him, "If nothing else, I shouldn't be back to the palace at noon, so I can only let you eat alone." ”

When tying the rope, Bai Ling's gaze fell on Chen Yicong's slightly raised neck, and every word he said brought a slight movement of the Adam's apple.

Bowling tied a bow, and she withdrew her gaze, then gently adjusted its shape.

“…… All right. Bai Ling smiled and said, "Then you come back early in the evening." ”

Chen Yicong looked at Bai Ling with some curiosity.

"It's rare to hear you say that...... Can I help you? ”

"I didn't finish the previous class." Bai Ling said softly, "Today, I should teach you one last lesson." ”

Chen Yicong nodded again and again, and agreed with a smile.

Before leaving, he stroked Bai Ling's cheek with some reluctance.

"I'll try to come back as early as possible, but if it's late, don't wait, it's time to eat, it's time to sleep, okay?"

"Hmm."

Bai Ling stood in the room, watching Chen Yicong stride away.

It wasn't until the emperor's back disappeared outside the courtyard gate that her gaze gradually moved away, looking farther into the sky.

Bai Yi and them, they should have just left the city at this time.

Bai Ling turned around and said to Zhao Qi, "Boil water." ”

Zhao Qi hurriedly responded, and then asked, "Does Si Yao want to make tea?" ”

"Bathing."

"Okay, slave and maid, go and command." Zhao Qi laughed and said softly, "Our medicine is so good-looking today!" ”

Bai Ling glanced at him, "Yes." ”

"Yes, Si Yao's complexion today is already good, and his spirit is good for a while, and I feel that my eyes are brighter than usual."

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment.

“…… Or your sharp eyes. She lowered her eyes.

……

The day went by extraordinarily long.

Chen Yicong did not return to the palace at night, and did not appear until midnight.

Bai Ling's courtyard was always open, and she still held Heng Yuanjun's chess book, holding the hand stove and sitting in the main room to play chess.

Chen Yicong was originally worried that he would come back too late today, and Bai Ling could only fall asleep in the dilemma of "lighting the candle too bright" and "being afraid of the dark when the candle is extinguished", but now it seems that Bai Ling has not started to sleep yet.

She didn't tie her hair at this time, her long hair was draped behind her, staring at the chess game in front of her without saying a word, and she didn't even notice Chen Yicong's words, until the emperor stepped into the door, Bai Ling raised her head.

Chen Yicong brought in the cold air all over his body, this time he didn't wait for Bai Ling to get up, he untied the outer cloak by himself, and then walked to Bai Ling's side.

He glanced at the game, then reached out and pulled a strand of Bai Ling's hair behind his ear.

Bai Ling's long hair was still a little damp, and it looked as if it had been washed in the afternoon, with a slight herbal fragrance.

"It's been so hard," Bai Ling looked up, "to come back so late." ”

"It's fine." Chen Yicong said softly, his eyes still had some residual determination when dealing with government affairs, just a pair of Shang Bailing's eyes, he couldn't help laughing, "Most of the time is spent on the road, and there are not many places to really spend your brains." ”

The two sat and chatted for a while, and Chen Yicong shared some interesting things in the afternoon with Bai Ling one by one.

At the end, Bai Ling stood up, she leaned over and took Chen Yicong's hand, and slowly walked into the room.

"Aren't you going to take the last lesson?" Chen Yicong was a little surprised, he vaguely felt that Bai Ling at this moment was a little different from usual, but he didn't insist on anything.

“…… But it's too late today, I-"

Before Chen Yicong finished speaking, Bai Ling had already blown out the only candle in the bedroom.

In the dark, she walked up to Chen Yicong, stretched out her hands, and hugged the emperor who didn't know what was going to happen.

"yes, the last lesson." Bai Ling whispered.
