Lu Zhaoling didn't know how to answer Bai Xi's question for a while, and was embarrassed for a while.

Bai Xi saw that Lu Zhaoling seemed to have some troubles, so he looked clear in his chest, and said in a low voice: "Sister Zhaoling, in fact, in the past few days, I have heard some secret rumors in the palace, saying that the third brother often sneaked out of the palace some time ago and had a private meeting with Miss Zhenguo General's Mansion outside the palace. Some rumors also mention that you were there...... Is this true? ”

Even Bai Xi already knows?

The emperor must have known it a long time ago, why is there no accountability now?

Lu Zhaoling was shocked in his heart.

"Sister Zhaoling." Bai Xi called her again.

"Huh?"

Lu Zhaoling came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was something that could not be hidden, so he admitted: "...... Yes, there is such a thing. ”

"I said why did my father give marriage to his third brother so suddenly, so it seems that it is a beautiful thing." Bai Xi said with a smile, "I remember that a few months ago, the third brother was allowed by his father to go out of the palace for a visit, and he went with Miss Li of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. I know that the two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, but I didn't expect that the third brother would be so bold and secretly go out of the palace to have a private meeting with Miss Li. ”

Bai Xi smiled between his words, as if he was talking to Lu Zhaoling about a funny gossip.

Bai Heng was allowed by the emperor to go out of the palace to play, thinking that it was the first time he met Lu Zhaoling in Jingyang City.

Looking back, that day, I saw Bai Heng and Li Zhuer riding on the same horse, and they were indeed intimate with each other.

Li Zhu'er is willful, arrogant, innocent and simple, which is suitable for someone as gentle and thoughtful as Bai Heng to take care of her.

Lu Zhaoling thought in his heart, and he was a little distracted.

Seeing Lu Zhaoling's uneasy appearance, Bai Xi didn't get angry, but just quieted for a while and didn't speak again.

It wasn't until Lu Zhaoling inadvertently reached out and touched the white porcelain teacup on the case, knocked the lid to the ground, and made a crisp cracking sound, that she suddenly came back to her senses.

Then he wordlessly went to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"Zhao Ling, do you like the third brother?" Bai Xi suddenly asked softly.

A piece of debris that Lu Zhaoling had just picked up accidentally fell to the ground again.

Do I like Bai Heng?

Lu Zhaoling was stunned.

Counting it, she and Bai Heng have not known each other for a long time, but they have a sense of intimacy that they have been together for a long time.

Bai Heng is like a clear stream in the mountains, warm and gentle, and sometimes it shows a bit of light and lively appearance, so that Lu Zhaoling can't help but want to touch and absorb.

She remembered the day Bai Heng received the holy decree, and suddenly looked back at herself. At the moment when she met Bai Heng's eyes, she felt a huge grief rush towards her, almost drowning her and suffocating her. There was a real twitching soreness in her heart.

She probably likes Bai Heng.

When Bai Heng was grieving, she had the urge to take Bai Heng to escape from Jingyang.

But she never had a strong desire to possess Bai Heng.

What kind of emotion is this?

Lu Zhaoling could feel her warm love and expectation for Bai Heng from Li Zhuer.

But Lu Zhaoling's own feelings for Bai Heng are sometimes excited, but they are still vague, and she can't tell the difference.

Lu Zhaoling thought distractedly as he slowly and unconsciously picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Seeing that a sharp edge was about to scratch her, Bai Xi reached out and grabbed Lu Zhaoling's wrist.

"Let Qiu Xi clean up later. You have been staying in the Langhuan Hall for the past few days, you must be bored and panicked, let's go and relax together, okay? Bai Xi pulled Lu Zhaoling up and coaxed softly.

--

On this day, except for the place where the prince's wedding ceremony was held, the rest of the palace looked deserted.

Bai Xi pulled the soulless Lu Zhaoling out of the Langhuan Palace, walked around at will, and came to a bamboo forest.

There is nothing red around this bamboo forest, it looks peaceful and elegant, and there is a swing in the open space next to the bamboo forest.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place in the palace, not far from the Langhuan Palace, have you ever been here?" Bai Xi asked Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling shook his head.

She had never walked in this direction, and when she suddenly found this bamboo forest and swing, she was also a little cheerful in her heart.

"Let's play on the swing, Zhaoling." Bai Xi pulled her to the swing and gently pressed her shoulder to let her sit on the swing.

"I ......"

Lu Zhaoling was still a little depressed, and wanted to say something more, but Bai Xi didn't give her a chance to hesitate, he had already turned behind her, pulled up the rope of the swing, and shouted briskly: "Hurry up!" ”

Lu Zhaoling hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and Bai Xi pushed hard-

A sweet cool breeze swept across Lu Zhaoling's cheeks, and the swing took her leisurely into the air, lifting her breath gently, pausing for a short moment at the top, and then falling in a brisk arc, making her involuntarily breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Huh."

Lu Zhaoling only felt that the strength of his body was relaxed, as if the moment he emerged from the bottom of the dull lake, the sluggishness and grief dissipated, and only the fresh air rushed into his chest.

"Come again!" Bai Xi puffed up his strength and pushed the swing up again.

Lu Zhaoling felt unprecedented happiness in the past few days, and finally smiled happily.

"Zhao Ling, are you happy?" Bai Xi pushed the swing and shouted at Lu Zhaoling.

"Happy!" Lu Zhaoling also shouted loudly, giggling at the same time.

This quiet bamboo forest was filled with the laughter of the two for a while.

After playing for a while, Bai Xi stopped his hand and took a slight breath.

Lu Zhaoling turned to look at Bai Xi, who was standing behind him, just as he bent down slightly and breathed a long sigh of relief, his warm breath was very close to Lu Zhaoling's raised cheeks for a while, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Bai Xi kissed her lightly on the forehead like a dragonfly in Lu Zhaoling's surprised gaze.

The warm and soft lips on Lu Zhaoling's forehead hurriedly fled away shyly.

Lu Zhaoling turned his body straight, his back to Bai Xi, and his heartbeat, which had not yet calmed down, became violently flustered.

Both were silent for a moment.

Lu Zhaoling gradually stabilized his breathing, and spoke first: "Enough fun, do you want to go back?" I'm a little thirsty. ”

Bai Xi smiled as usual: "Okay." ”

The two returned to the Langhuan Hall and sat down and drank tea for a while.

Bai Xi chatted with Lu Zhaoling, talking about milk tea in Liuguo and the like.

While chatting, Bai Xi suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Zhaoling excitedly: "I heard that Zhaoling's sister inherited the mantle of the first sword master in the Ryuk Kingdom, and now she often studies sword skills in the courtyard, why don't you have a discussion with me?" ”

Lu Zhaoling had only competed with a few little princes in the palace with wooden knives when he was young, and he had never really competed with anyone since he arrived in Anping. Listening to Bai Xi's proposal, she was also a little moved.

"It's just that I haven't had a master for many years, so I must be a lot dull, and I may not know the depth ......of my hands," Lu Zhaoling was still a little hesitant.

"Are you still afraid of hurting me? I'm not as useless as Sister Zhaoling thinks. Bai Xi smiled slyly.
