Chapter Twenty-Four: The Peasant Girl's Imperial Road
The fourth princess never fought an unprepared battle, and in the face of this strange relationship beyond her cognition, she retreated cautiously.
Xie Linyu went to find his relatives, and Ling Chan went to congratulate Fu Wenci, who was happy to explore flowers.
"Brother, long time no see." Ling Chan squatted and saluted with a smile.
Fu Wenci was dressed in a red robe, with a peony flower given by the emperor behind his ears, and he became more and more beautiful and handsome with a strong red lining.
He said softly: "Can you get used to living in the palace? There are many rules in the palace, remember not to offend nobles, remember to take good care of yourself. β
Ling Chan smiled and responded one by one.
Brother and sister are harmonious, and there is politeness and alienation in the warmth.
The close brother and sister who used to talk about everything had nothing to say, but after half a year of separation, they had nothing to say.
Fu Wenci didn't know how to face this sister, this sister he thought he knew very well, but in fact he didn't know it at all.
Those outrageous rumors...... He didn't believe a word. His sister is not the kind of person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix! Although my sister is indeed beautiful, the dragon and phoenix among the two highnesses are not inferior people who are shallow enough to force beautiful little girls!
But he didn't know how to say these words to his sister.
There was only politeness in Ling Chan's smile, no intimacy, so that his full trust could not be exported.
"Soseki." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed, "Why are you hiding here?" β
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciated him very much and treated him very politely, and he solicited him several times before he got the flowers, which can be called his Bole.
Fu Wenci respected this gentleman quite humbly, and the prince with the style of a benevolent monarch, he immediately turned around and saluted, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and we are talking. β
This turn revealed Ling Chan, who was originally covered by his figure.
Fu Wenci watched the prince in front of him change his face.
The originally calm and wide eyes suddenly softened, and the inclusive sea turned into gentle spring water. The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he wanted to laugh and forcibly suppressed it.
The prince's calm face lit up.
It is impossible to hide the joy of seeing the things that are so beloved.
The prince's face was happy, he stretched out his hand to Ling Chan, and said gently: "Ah Chan, come." β
Ling Chan hesitated and glanced at Fu Wenci.
The prince smiled: "It's okay, Soseki and I are close friends." β
"......" Fu Wenzi was expressionless.
What admiration, what respect, all disappeared from Fu Wenci's heart without a trace at this moment.
Best? But to hook up with my sister!
"This is the Qionglin Banquet, not a place for dogs and men to hook up and match."
King An's cold voice came, and Fu Wenci didn't have time to feel angry at him for calling Ling Chan a dog man and woman, so he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, he knew that the rumors couldn't be true......
Then he found that King An's gaze was coldly staring at the hands of the prince and Ling Chan.
That's definitely jealousy, right?
I'm definitely jealous!
"Third brother," the prince reprimanded, "since you know that this is the Qionglin Banquet, you shouldn't speak wildly." β
"I just said two words, how can it compare to what you did?"
The two went toe-for-tat and refused to let each other go.
Ling Chan, who was standing beside the prince, shrunk her shoulders and looked panicked.
Instead of looking like a culprit in a dispute, she looks like a poor girl forced into a war.
"Prince, King An," Emperor Qianhua's voice was cold, "what are you doing?" β
It's obviously a question sentence, but because there is no doubt in the words, it becomes a straight declarative sentence. It's as if the person who speaks knows everything and doesn't have to answer anything.
"Father," the prince saluted, "the third brother is speaking of wild waves, and his sons are instructing him. β
King An sneered: "I think you should discipline yourself more." β
Emperor Qianhua didn't say a word, and among the scholars who traveled half a mile, he turned his head to look at Fu Wenci and said, "Let Tanhualang smile." β
The attitude is surprisingly gentle.
Emperor Qianhua glanced at Ling Chan again, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, "What my two sons like, it turns out to be such a beautiful child." β
β¦β¦
γChanchan...... You said you were going to find a new person to play with...... Doesn't it mean Xie Linyu......]
[Of course not, Ayu is so cute, how can she use it as a toy? Of course, you have to find something exciting. γ
γEmperor Qianhua...... He looks fierce ......]
[It doesn't matter, he will learn to bow his head.] Ling Chan paused, a little aggrieved: [Tong'er...... Are you going to scold me? I only have you, I thought you could understand me......]
[That's not what I meant!] The system immediately said: [Isn't it just a feudal emperor? You can do whatever you want! γ
β¦β¦
After the Qionglin banquet, Ling Chan and Xie Linyu reconciled.
Xie Linyu is an idle character, and he likes to pull Ling Chan to spread wild in the palace every day.
If you have nothing to do, go to the Imperial Garden.
Then I met Emperor Qianhua and drank tea and looked at the flowers in the pavilion in the imperial garden.
The Imperial Garden suddenly became lively.
The well-dressed concubines are showing off their flowers in the imperial garden, and they are more delicate than flowers.
People come and go, crowded one after another, like the scenic spot of the modern Spring Festival.
Xie Linyu wondered: "Why are there so many people?" Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers? Did he devote all his time to national affairs? β
Ling Chan smiled and said nothing.
So Xie Linyu sighed, held Ling Chan and said, "Then let's go first, right?" β
Of course, Ling Chan would not refuse her.
So the two went to Taiye Pool hand in hand.
The next day, when the two of them went back to the Imperial Garden, several entrances to the Imperial Garden were guarded by eunuchs, and they stopped every concubine who wanted to enter with thoughtful etiquette but could not refuse.
Xie Linyu pulled Ling Chan and turned her head to leave.
"Two girls, please stay!" The leading eunuch sent off the concubine and hurried after them.
The eunuch's smile was flattering, "Your Majesty works in the garden, and I don't want to be disturbed by the masters in the backyard, but if the girls want to go shopping, it won't hinder it." β
Xie Linyu refused.
The eunuch's eyes looked at Ling Chan pitifully, almost with a look of help.
Ling Chan smiled politely, "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and now you want to be clean, how can we bother?" It doesn't get in the way of going anywhere else. β
The two are gone.
After that day, the emperor never came to the Imperial Garden again.
β¦β¦
Emperor Qianhua's movements sparked a lot of discussion, and King An specially entered the palace and met Concubine Shu.
"What's wrong with my father lately?" Anwang said anxiously: "Is it that I have come to recruit students to make a bigger storm recently, and my father is beating me for some reason?" β
Concubine Shu took a sip of tea and said coldly: "Your Majesty wants to beat you, you don't need these methods of rejection." β
She looked at her radiant son who she had worked so hard to raise, and said in a low voice, "The children of the Fu family...... You have less contact with her. β
"Mother?" King An looked up suddenly, "Isn't she the daughter-in-law you specifically found for me?" β
Concubine Shu saw her child's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I only thought that the child was good-looking, you would like it, but I didn't expect ......"
The one who is high up will actually be attracted by the appearance of the girl Xianyan?
