Chapter 57 Upon Invitation
Wei Chimu didn't expect Scarlet Smoke to respond to what he was worried about so simply, so he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and walked out after saying goodbye to her, but when he left, he didn't see the cunning that flashed in the woman's eyes.
At this time, it is the middle of August, the lively summer has lost its vitality as before, and the night wind caresses people's cheeks. Yu Chimu walked out of the girl's room, and did not rush back, but paced slowly in the small courtyard of the scarlet smoke, and heard the sound of insects coming from the grass and trees, and suddenly bent the corners of his mouth, he and she have known each other for so long.
However, in the next second, the man's eyes narrowed, but the smile on his handsome face was gone, his thin lips opened lightly, and he spit out a few words, "Long time no see, Linglong." ”
At this time, Linglong was wearing a thin skirt, which made the whole person more and more petite and lovely, but if you look carefully, you can see that the girl's palm-sized little face has a little irony that does not match her age and appearance, and the lotus step under her feet moved lightly, and Linglong came to Yu Chimu's eyes, slightly blessed, "King Xinling." ”
Without waiting for the man to speak, her eyes moved in the direction of the Scarlet Smoke House, and then she was dyed with a slight teasing smile, "The prince must have just come out of Sister Yan'er's house, but I wonder if the prince has told Sister Yan'er about our plan?" ”
When Wei Chimu heard this, his sharp eyes looked straight at the girl in front of him, and now this appearance is the most real appearance of Linglong. The simple, kind, well-behaved and lovely people in the day were all pretended by her appearance and age. Thinking that Scarlet Smoke was defenseless against Linglong, and even showed such a strange look to herself for her, Wei Chimu's eyes sank, and then said, "You used a heart on her?" ”
A pair of delicate eyes can reflect the truest appearance of people's hearts, thereby reducing people's defense. Although her ability is not yet mature, it still has a lot of impact when used properly. If Linglong hadn't used this attention to Scarlet Smoke, Yu Chimu couldn't figure out why she would be so protective and concerned about Linglong, who had just come into contact with her.
Seeing that the man answered the question, Linglong raised her eyebrows noncommittally, "The prince said that there is, then there is." Glancing at Wei Chimu without a trace, Linglong secretly thought in her heart, she did not deliberately look at the scarlet smoke, but Wei Chimu suspected that she had used her heart for the scarlet smoke, and there were only two possibilities after thinking about it, first, the scarlet smoke was pretended, and second, the scarlet smoke was inadvertently hit by the heart, and it was really towards herself.
However, these two possibilities are a little unreasonable, firstly, with the relationship between Scarlet Smoke and Wei Chimu, Linglong can't imagine what benefits Scarlet Smoke can get from pretending to her, and secondly, her heart-warming impact should not be so great. Even though a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, his delicate and delicate face still looked meaningless.
"You'd better not have any crooked thoughts about her," Yu Chimu stared at the girl in front of him, his eyes mixed with a hint of coldness, "Otherwise, this king can't guarantee that anything will happen to Brother Ling." ”
Linglong was shocked when she heard this, "What are you going to do to my brother?!" ”
After shrugging his shoulders for a long time, Yu Chimu evoked a mocking smile, "It depends on what you do, although it is far away, but what this king says will do, it will definitely not disappoint." ”
Bei Yan bit his lip fiercely, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and finally glared at the man, "You won." I'm not going to do anything, everything goes according to plan, but ...... Things that are beyond the scope of the plan......"
"Don't worry about it." After receiving the girl's promise, Wei Chimu's tone softened a little, and he didn't want to say more, so he turned around and left.
Looking at the man's dashing and departing figure, the delicate silver teeth were clenched, and there was a trace of unconcealable hatred in her beautiful eyes, if it weren't for the eldest brother, she wouldn't have dealt with the fox Yu Chimu, let alone come to this southern country alone.
When he thought of his eldest brother, Linglong's face turned slightly pale. Although she is the little princess of Xiqin country, but Ding Xingwang, a native of Xiqin country, there are seven princes alone, plus four princesses, her birth in addition to adding one more person to the royal family, there is no big shock, perhaps the only thing she can be fortunate about is that her mother is more favored, and she also has an eldest brother who can write and martial arts - Xidu.
It is precisely because of this that she can have a place in the huge palace and be able to grow to the age of five without worry, but it is also at this time that a flying disaster befell the eldest brother's head, Xiqin Spring Hunting Ground, Xi Jue was assassinated and saved his life, but his body was highly poisonous, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless, and at this time, she met Yu Chimu.
From the ignorance at the beginning, to the gradual understanding of the tricks of some concubines in the palace, and then to the thorn in his eye with a smile, Linglong has come all the way, I have to say that Wei Chi Mu has made great contributions, but every time I see him, he is indifferent.
Thinking about it, this is also the first time Linglong has seen this man, with such a concerned and even nervous look on his face. Linglong's gaze couldn't help but fall in the direction of the house where Scarlet Smoke was, and she pouted, and for some reason there was a trace of indescribable emotion in her heart, in addition to her extraordinary appearance, what was it that attracted that person so much?
Linglong couldn't think of a reason, so she had to give up and go to her room.
The next day, Scarlet Smoke got up early, went to the front hall to greet his father as usual, and returned to his courtyard after breakfast.
This post is not very different from the previous ones sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention it is simple and simple, not even the signature of the inviter, there are only a few numbers on the whole post, "I sincerely invite the small pavilion in the middle of the lake to talk about it".
What is this "Little Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake"? Scarlet Smoke frowned and turned over the post and observed it carefully, didn't find any clues, thought about it, brought a basin of water, soaked the post in water, and after it was completely wet, he found some powder, and sprinkled it lightly, and after a while, a line of words appeared on the paper,
"The small pavilion in the center of Boyue Lake at the west entrance of the south of the city, waiting for the girl. - Wei Ting"
Looking at this line of words, Scarlet Smoke raised her eyebrows slightly, this Wei Ting is so cautious, it seems that she did not say what she said before. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, accompanied by a crisp voice that fell into Scarlet Yan's ears, "Sister Yan'er, what are you doing?" ”
The corners of Scarlet Smoke's mouth lifted a playful smile, and then he greeted him with a slightly restrained expression, "It's Linglong, I didn't do anything, but I was a little tired in this room, and I was about to call my sister out for a walk, I don't know what you think?" ”
Hearing the woman's words, Linglong's little face showed a little excited look, a pair of eyes sparkled at the scarlet smoke in front of her, and raised her voice, "Okay, okay!" ”
Stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of the girl's hair, the scarlet smoke seemed to be infected by the girl's excitement, and the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc, "Okay, I'll arrange it first, and someone will call you later." With that, he lifted his feet and went to the antechamber.
"Hmm!" Linglong nodded, seeing Scarlet Smoke's defenseless appearance, her beautiful eyes showed some doubts, but in an instant, she glanced thoughtfully at the woman's house, and then went back to her room.
Half an hour later, the second daughter got into the carriage prepared by the Prime Minister and headed for the south of the city.
Along the way, Linglong looked well-behaved, and from time to time she asked some questions, or some stories of the Western Regions could make Scarlet Smoke laugh, and even Bi'er, who was following on the side, was a little puzzled in her heart, when did her young lady become so smiling? Is it the sun that rises in the west?
However, Scarlet Smoke didn't seem to see the doubt in Bi'er's eyes, and still smiled and talked to Linglong, and after a while, the carriage stopped. Scarlet didn't let Bi'er help her, so she got out of the carriage first, and led Linglong down from the carriage, looking like a sister.
Boyue Lake in the south of the city, Scarlet Smoke seems to have heard of it, but it is the first time to come here, it is said that this lake was artificially dug by the previous lord of the southern country for the sake of the fraternity concubine.
The calm lake is covered with green lotus leaves, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, there is a great artistic conception of "receiving the lotus leaves infinitely green", take a leaf flat boat, walk slowly on the lake, there is indeed a little artistic conception, want to come to "Boyue Boyue" is really in response to its name, can be a beautiful man.
Not far along the lake, Scarlet Yan found a maid in palace clothes standing not far away, after a little thought, she walked forward with Linglong, the maid saw them, the look on her face was still the same, and she saluted respectfully, "Girl, please come with the slave maid, the master has been waiting for a long time." ”
Linglong's puzzled gaze shifted from the maid's body to Scarlet Smoke, and then asked softly, "Sister Yan'er, who are we going to see?" ”
Scarlet Smoke gently patted Linglong's little hand to signal her not to worry, and then bowed slightly to the maid, "There is labor to lead the way." Then he answered the girl's words, "Don't worry, you'll know when you arrive." ”
Secretly pursed her lips, Linglong pulled out a smile and replied "yes" obediently.
As the maid walked for a long time, finally a pavilion appeared in front of the three of them, and the maid stepped aside with her eyes turned sideways, "Girl, please." ”
Scarlet Yan nodded, and saw a warm blue figure in the pavilion from a distance, and knew that the person must be Wei Ting. Linglong followed the woman's gaze, and naturally saw the person, but in the next second, a trace of complicated color appeared in her eyes.
Of course she knew that person was Wei Ting, the fifth prince of the Southern Kingdom, but Linglong didn't expect that she would be able to meet him here after such a long time.
When the two walked into the middle of the pavilion, Scarlet Yan and Linglong saluted Wei Ting together, and when they saw some shadows in the man's eyes, they knew that the two must have known each other, but they heard Wei Tinglang say, "Miss Scarlet, may I ask who this is?" ”
Not caring at all about the man's knowingly questioning, Crimson chuckled lightly and gently moved Linglong forward,
"She is the little princess of Xiqin Kingdom, Linglong."
