Chapter 15: A Break by the Lake
After Ling Ling and Luo Bijin reached an agreement, the two began to discuss.
After Ling Ling told Luo Bijin one of her thoughts, Luo Rujin stared at Ling Ling with bright eyes, unbelievable, this girl is deeply hidden!
Now that she has begun to prepare for the fifth day of the next lunar month, if someone really asks her to perform at that time, even if it is for herself, she must prepare a talent that is not ashamed, but she hopes that no one will care about her that day.
Strange to say, since the time in the small restaurant, Bai Feiye's affairs with her have suddenly relaxed, not only did not force her to learn talents, but also ordered Qingliu to teach her the formation in the bamboo forest, so that she could go out at will.
In the huge bamboo forest, Qingliu was stunned and took Ling Ling to walk more than a dozen times before she could barely memorize the terrain inside.
It was also after learning the Bamboo Forest Formation that she knew that the Night Heaven Pavilion where Bai Feiye lived seemed to be far away from the Snow Ning Pavilion, and it only took a moment to really walk the distance.
After walking in the bamboo forest more than a dozen times, Ling Ling only felt that her legs were almost no longer hers, but she didn't want to go back to the Xue Ning Pavilion where she was alone. asked Jinrong to accompany her to sit and rest by a lake in the palace.
"Jinrong, do you remember what happened after I went to see King Jing in the restaurant that day?"
The images from that night's memories always popped up from time to time, occupying Ling Ling's brain, making her feel distraught, and she wanted to try to ask Jinrong what had happened that night when she was asleep.
"Not long after the young lady went to see the prince, the daughter of the prince Murong also came, and then ...... She seems to be talking to the prince about something, Qingliu has been chatting with Qingfeng, and I haven't heard it clearly. ”
Jinrong struggled to remember.
"And what else? And then what? ”
"Then, after Qingfeng sent Miss Murong away, the prince said Miss, you drank too much, let Qingliu and I go back to the house first."
Ling Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the calm lake, and an inexplicable throbbing appeared in his heart.
Just because she drank too much, he carried her home? This doesn't make sense! But no matter what she thought, she just couldn't remember what was going on in the middle.
The saying that drinking gets in the way is true!
Just as Ling Ling was staring at the lake in a daze, Bai Feiye appeared behind her, and as soon as Jinrong saw him, he immediately got up and prepared to salute. Bai Feiye gave her a rude gesture and motioned for her to leave.
Jinrong looked at Bai Feiye, then at Ling Ling, smiled inwardly, and quietly retreated.
Of course, how could she have completely stepped back! Jinrong hid behind a big tree not far from them, poked her head out, and stared in the direction of their young lady and the prince with glowing eyes.
Just as she was looking for a good position and was about to be a melon eater quietly, something was pushed behind her back.
Jinrong looked back and saw that Qingliu, who was dressed in a blue robe, was also sneakily hiding behind the big tree like her, looking in the direction of Bai Feiye and Ling Ling with novelty. Qingliu made a shushing gesture to her, and the two tacitly agreed, without saying a word, put their hands on the tree, lowered their bodies, and quietly stretched out their heads and looked at the lake.
"Qingliu didn't send your words today."
Ling Ling, who was thinking about it facing the lake, heard a familiar and magnetic voice in her ears, with a faint scent of ambergris in the air, and her heart jumped, and she was sitting on the ground, and she suddenly got up.
Looking at the noble and elegant man in front of him who was dressed in gold thread and white, handsome, Ling Ling's mind suddenly flashed with the softness of that night, and his face suddenly became hot......
"See, see the prince!" She feigned composure.
Bai Feiye smiled under his eyes, "You're afraid of me?" ”
"No, there is no ......" Ling Ling tried to calm down the emotions that popped up inexplicably.
"You haven't answered the king's question yet."
What's the problem? Qingliu didn't send her to write the words in the past?
"It's not ...... you say"
Halfway through her words, Ling Ling suddenly remembered that it was what she told her when she was pretending to be in her sleep, if she said it now, wouldn't it be an admission that she had been pretending to be asleep since then?
"What did the king say?" A hint of shrewdness flashed in Bai Feiye's eyes.
"Lord Wang, you didn't say anything! It's just that I didn't control myself from drinking too much in the restaurant that day, and I had a dream when I fell asleep, and I dreamed that the prince suddenly didn't let me practice calligraphy! So I subconsciously got confused! Hey. ”
Ling Ling grinned, his smiling eyes glowing with sincerity.
In this way, it should be able to go back, right?
"Well, if you don't want to write, don't practice."
Did the sun really come out in the west? How could he suddenly change so much?
"But this king still has to say a word, the word is like his person."
Bai Feiye added coldly.
It's that sentence again! Say she's ugly in disguise! Blind! It's rare for her to be upset for so long! What a blind eye!
"I heard that the fifth day of the next month is the birthday of the prince." Ling Ling didn't want to bother with him about her words, so the conversation changed.
"Hmm." Bai Feiye looked at the lake and snorted without emotion.
"I heard that the emperor ordered a banquet in the palace......
"Hmm."
"I heard that the official ladies of the entire Night City will go to the banquet......
"Hmm."
"Can I not go?"
"Huh?"
Bai Feiye turned his head to look at Ling Ling, bumped into her sly gaze, and a smile flashed in his eyes,
"What? Don't want to bless this king? ”
"No, no," Ling Ling immediately shook his head like a rattle,
"I'm just, I'm not unfortunate at home, now I'm helpless, and I have lost my memory, others enter the palace to go to the banquet are my father and mother go with me, if I go, I sit in the corner pitifully, how uncomfortable I feel! Lord, you should consider my feelings! ”
Ling Ling pouted, blinking his eyes, and looked at Bai Feiye pitifully. She felt in her heart that this wave of pretending to be pitiful and begging for sympathy was very natural and there was nothing wrong with it!
Bai Feiye took in the little Jiujiu in her heart, smiled inwardly, and quipped,
"Who said you sat alone? Since the royal brother has arranged for you to live in this king's mansion, it is natural to sit with this king when you enter the palace for a banquet. ”
Sit with him! No kidding, it's better to let her squat in the corner alone and count the mushrooms! Who doesn't know that the official ladies who love him in Baixi are no less than those who love the emperor, if she sits with him at that time, she must not be killed by the eyes of those official ladies!
"Lord Wang, don't you......" Ling Ling stared at him with a sad face.
"That's it, you don't want to be too ostentatious, and then this king will arrange a low-key position for you." Bai Feiye saw through Ling Ling's mind and said softly, "But I think Grandma should have already told you that in order not to let others laugh, you still have to prepare." ”
Is he thinking about her?
Ling Ling's brain was empty, and he immediately came back to his senses and looked at Bai Feiye with a smile, "Then thank you Lord Wang!" On the fifth day of the next month, if I have the opportunity, I will wish the prince a happy birthday! ”
If you don't have a chance...... She couldn't ask for it!
"This king will wait and see." Bai Feiye raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and his dark eyes looked at Ling Ling with a hint of a smile.
He laughed again? Didn't you say that King Jing didn't like to laugh?! What's the deal with this smile! Even if she looks handsome, she smiled at her three times and twice...... Her heart skipped another beat.
What's the matter, since Bai Feiye sent her home, as long as she remembered or saw Bai Feiye's faint and smiling expression, her heart would throb.
She immediately turned her head, looked at the lake, raised her hand and rubbed her chest, simply ignored Bai Feiye beside her, sat on the ground with her ass, held her knees with both hands, didn't think about anything, stared at the lake and emptied herself!
Bai Feiye lowered his eyes to look at her, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't notice.
For the first time, the two of them were so quiet and silent, but they didn't feel embarrassed by the lake, blowing the wind.
Jinrong and Qingliu, who peeked at the probe on the side, were full of monologues in their hearts!
Jinrong looked relieved, the two people by the lake were together, like a beautiful painting. If their young lady can marry King Jing, then the prime minister and his wife will also feel comforted in their hearts in the spirit of heaven! After all, this prince is really good-looking, and he is also very good to their young lady!
Qingliu looked tangled, and his heart was very messy. If he remembers correctly, isn't the prince of their family and Miss Murong a couple? Why does he seem to be more suitable for Miss Xiahou and their prince now? If he had to choose a princess for their prince at the concubine selection ceremony, he would have to choose a princess for their prince...... As far as the recent impression is concerned, he raised his hands and feet to vote for Miss Xiahou!
He had never seen the prince so different, although he had gone out with the prince and Miss Murong before, and he had seen the smile on the prince's face, but he clearly remembered that it was a smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and it was different from the heartfelt smile of their prince now. Even if the prince repaired the Xue Ning Pavilion for Miss Murong, he had the impression that the prince had only taken her in to visit, and had never let Miss Murong stay for one night!
But right, but...... He always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't analyze anything, even if he had been with the prince for so many years, he still couldn't figure out what their prince was thinking.
The more I think about it, the more mushy it becomes, go back and ask Qingfeng! Qingfeng must know more than him, after all...... The prince has always taken him out to run errands recently! Thinking of this, Qingliu frowned, and he was angry.
Jinrong turned around and saw Qingliu's traffic light-like face, and only felt very funny, grinning, bending his eyes, and looking at him jokingly. Qingliu found that the little girl next to him, who was a head shorter than him, was looking up at him with interesting eyes, as if she had been caught, her face flushed, she snorted, raised her chin, and left pretending to be calm.
