Chapter 4 He was as gentle as ever

Lin Chengzhi said softly: No need to be polite.

Tao Ling walked in front of Fu Li, with an embarrassed face, and thought: I really didn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince was here.

Fuli smiled at her and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, he won't kill you." ”

Tao Ling nodded, and then saluted the two as if she had thought of something: "Then the slave and maid will not disturb the prince and the princess, and will retire first." ”

After a few moments, the two of them were left in the room.

Lin Chengzhi walked over slowly and paused when he saw the red hijab on the bed. Noticing his hesitation, Fuli explained, "O...... I'm just a little hungry, so I want to lift my hijab and find something to eat, I didn't mean to, I'll put it back on. She knew from Qiao Niang that the newlywed groom had to lift the bride's red hijab in person to be in order, and he would not be angry with her.

After a while, I only heard him say: "It's okay, you just feel happy, don't worry too much about these red tapes." Then he looked at her and said, "I have wronged you when I marry Zhong, and if you don't like these cumbersome things, there is no need to abide by them." ”

She nodded, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her clothes, somewhere in her heart seemed to be slightly teased, she didn't expect him to be so considerate of others.

"Tomorrow I will find a maid to take care of your daily life, if you don't understand, you can ask her."

She continued to nod.

Lin Chengzhi was stunned for a moment and continued: "I will go to the General's Mansion tomorrow morning to ask my father for peace, today, you can rest early." So saying, he turned and left.

She just wanted to nod subconsciously, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Lin Chengzhi stopped, still in his extremely gentle tone: "I know that you will not be comfortable in the first few days, so I went to find a bed and bedding to sleep on the ground." ”

Oh...... She actually wanted to say no, she didn't feel uncomfortable, but thinking about it, she was a girl, she couldn't be so unreserved, and she thought about it and just did it without saying it.

That night, she was quiet and happy. I don't know why, she just looks at him and feels in a good mood, it turns out that people who look gentle really have the effect of smoothing the mood when they see too much.

Lin Chengzhi seemed to notice the gaze in front of him, his long eyelashes couldn't help but fan a few times, and then he opened his eyes, and for a moment he looked at her, and the next second he withdrew his gaze when he helped him away, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"It's not early, go to bed." His voice was sweet, as if he were coaxing her.

"Good...... But I couldn't sleep. ”

Is it a love bed?

He didn't speak, but helped him to tilt his body and said to the person sleeping not far away: "Can you sing?" ”

Sure enough, he was still a child, and he even asked him to sing, "No." He told the truth.

Hearing that she didn't move, Lin Chengzhi paused and said softly: "I can blow Xiao, do you want to listen?" ”

Fu Li jumped up happily, "Xiao? I've only heard about books, I haven't heard of them. ”

Lin Chengzhi got up and sat down and took Xiao Lai from his Xiao cabinet, and said softly: "Then you lie down, I'll blow it to you." ”

In the dark night, he could feel her joy, and he saw Fuli lying down obediently, "Okay, okay." ”

She didn't know how she fell asleep that day, she just looked sideways at the person who was separated from her by a table, and there was a pleasant flute sound in her ears, somehow, she actually remembered the piccolo of Xishu, remembered her father's instructions before leaving, remembered the ridicule of Fu Zheng, and remembered the reluctance of the queen mother. I don't know if the sound of the flute is too beautiful and pleasant, or if he is at ease, that night, she slept soundly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, she slept until the third pole of the sun and was still in a sweet dream, or Tao Ling came to call, she remembered that she was going to visit her mother-in-law today, thinking of this, she seemed to feel that she had forgotten everything she had learned from Qiao Niang, and the etiquette of serving tea and pouring water was also more and more chaotic in her vague memory.

Thinking of yesterday's bun, she deliberately asked the new maid to comb her into a simple but general bun. The maid's name was Anan, and she thought the name was not good, so she changed her to a Sakura Spirit, which matched her Peach Spirit.

Along the way, Sakura Ling was talking to her about the various etiquette of meeting her in-laws, and she listened very carefully, lest she would make a mistake until she met him.

He wore a cyan robe with a cloud pattern today, wearing a jade crown and a green hairpin, I saw him standing next to the long pavilion with his hands in his hands, and he was slender, and he looked a little literati from a distance, she finally understood why so many women have never married for the literati throughout the ages, and who is not moved by this warmth.

She walked over and tried to scare him from behind, but she didn't expect to be noticed by him as soon as she walked in, so she almost bumped into him, but fortunately she stood firm, otherwise she would have been embarrassed again.

"I've got it covered." Fuli smiled after standing firmly.

"Well, let's go." He didn't have any extra words and led the way away.

Fu Li obediently followed behind him, and looked up at him from time to time. He was a head taller than her, and she didn't even notice it at the time.

"Shall I say something in a moment? What can't be said? She asked, following him, tilting her face.

He walked slowly without answering her, and she sneered.

As if thinking seriously, he replied for a long time: "You can say whatever you want, and there is nothing you can't say." ”

Fuli showed joy and smiled again.

……

When she stopped outside the door of the General's Mansion and saw the looming peach tree outside the wall, she seemed to have returned to ten years ago, as if it was yesterday.

She was like the one that Sakura Ling taught her to kneel down and serve tea to her in-laws, trying not to embarrass him, and it turned out that she did a good job. But when she looked at him, she never saw him smile at the corners of his mouth, and when she thought about it, she really hadn't seen him smile.

"Chengzhi is a good fortune to be able to marry such a beautiful and polite princess." It was Lin Chengzhi's mother who spoke, that is, her mother-in-law.

She smiled shyly and then said modestly: "Thank you mother-in-law, you are also a princess, and your father-in-law is also very blessed." For a moment, the whole hall was silent.

Seeing that their faces had changed, even Lin Chengzhi lowered his eyes without the slightest wave. Fuli looked at Sakura Ling, saw her wave her hand, and motioned for her to stop talking. She was a little at a loss, and she didn't know which of her words was wrong, she pursed her lips and didn't know what to do, but fortunately, Lin Zhenxi on the side broke the deadlock.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small episode. Don't be stunned, I've asked the kitchen to make some snacks, and I'll give you a taste in a while. With that, he pulled Fuli and left.

Fuli didn't know how much he thanked her, but he also knew in his heart that he really said the wrong thing, "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Lin Zhenxi smiled, took her arm and said, "Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart, those who don't know are not guilty." But in the future, you can't be in front of your father and mother, and your brother's biological mother. ”

"Birth mother? You're saying that Mrs. Lin is not his biological mother. She was shocked and said that Sakura Ling and Qiao Niang had never told her.

"My brother's biological mother is Princess Changning of the Southern Dynasty, but she died twenty-six years ago. Therefore, it is a taboo for Princess Changning in front of her brother and even the entire Lin family, especially in front of her mother. My sister-in-law still mistook her mother for her brother's biological mother today, and my mother has always looked down on my brother, so naturally there will be a dispute between words and lips. ”

After listening to Lin Zhenxi's explanation, she felt that she was even more wrong, and only said: "Then wouldn't I have caused a big disaster." ”

Lin Zhenxi stopped, "It's okay, my brother won't take these things to heart, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to care too much." ”

Fuli nodded and obediently followed her.

When he arrived in the kitchen, he saw Lin Zhenxi carefully loading snacks, so he couldn't help but ask, "So, you are not his biological sister anymore." ”

Lin Zhenxi was noncommittal and explained: "Well, but my brother always treats me as my own sister, and I will also treat you as my sister-in-law, so if my sister-in-law wants to know about my brother's affairs, I would be happy to tell you." ”

Affair? Fuli smiled. Lin Zhenxi laughed out loud when she saw it, "Seeing my sister-in-law's solemn expression, I'm embarrassed to lie to you." I'll tell you......" she came to her and whispered, "As far as I know, you're the first woman beside him." ”

Hearing this, Fu Li didn't feel half of his face flushed, and then smiled: "Don't make fun of me." ”

"Where is the joke, my brother is very gentle with women, although my sister-in-law is a princess, but it is really a blessing to be able to marry my brother, I am not a princess who sells melons and boasts, and I am not partial to anyone, sister-in-law, you will naturally know in the future."

Fuli continued to swing the dessert in his hand, thinking that he actually laughed.

……

On the way back, Lin Zhenxi also told her a lot about her brother's past, saying that Lin Chengzhi, who has always been gentle and elegant, even wet the bed, I don't know if he is so thin-skinned now, and talking to him will make him die of shame. He also said that he was bitten by a dog once, and since then he has been particularly afraid of dogs. Well? Afraid of dogs? She couldn't help laughing, the dog is so cute, there are still people afraid of dogs?

The two laughed all the way to the front hall, and before they entered, they saw Lin Chengzhi standing at the door, looking into the distance with dull eyes, as if thinking about something.

Lin Zhenxi took the lead and slapped him from behind, "Brother, what are you doing?" As he spoke, he looked at the area in the distance.

Lin Chengzhi turned around, glanced at Lin Zhenxi, and then fell on Fuli's body, that look was ...... It seems to be telling her to let her pass.

She took small steps and smiled.

Lin Chengzhi then looked away and landed on Lin Zhenxi, "Let's go back first." ”

Well? I just came.

"Why?" Sure enough, Lin Zhenxi asked. Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Zhenxi subconsciously glanced at the empty front hall, and then said, "Is it ...... mother?"

"Don't overthink it." A short sentence, and then there is no afterword.

Then he motioned for Fuli to leave.
