The snow had been shoveled away from the streets, and it was the busiest time of the night.

It is probably close to Chinese New Year's Eve, and the surrounding lights are dazzling, reflecting everywhere as bright as day.

For everything in Beirong, Lin Shuang'er is extremely unfamiliar.

Today, she traveled in a low-key manner without much fanfare. Yu Wanning sent her more than a dozen accompanying secret guards, all of whom were well-trained masters.

They hid in the shadows and kept her safe at all times.

However, Lin Shuang'er turned her head to inspect a few times, but she didn't see them, so she couldn't help but wonder if those secret guards were really following her......

She couldn't see those secret guards, there was only Bai Yutang around her, and the two of them were walking on the street side by side, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

I don't know when she started, it seemed that she couldn't face Bai Yutang alone. Probably because he heard what he said in the court.

She couldn't understand, didn't Bai Yutang love Huiyi deeply? Why did you suddenly like her?

And when did you like it?

She wondered, was it because Da Song wanted to marry Beirong, and he said these words against his will for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries?

But he said it so seriously, as if every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, which made Lin Shuang'er a little afraid to confirm it.

Lin Shuang'er didn't dare to ask if what he said was true or false, but she knew that her feelings for him seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Probably because she was thinking too much, the distance between the two gradually narrowed, and her hand hanging below coldly touched his fingers.

The knuckled fingers were slender and white, but there was no trace of temperature like ice.

Lin Shuang'er's hands were always warm because she carried a hand stove with her, and the moment she touched him, it was like a collision of ice and fire.

Lin Shuang'er withdrew her hand in time as if she had been electrocuted, and hurriedly moved her footsteps to the side, widening the distance between the two in time.

Bai Yutang turned his head to look at her, and there was a smile on the tail of his eyes and eyebrows: "What's wrong with the princess?" ”

Lin Shuang'er shook her head, looked at the hand stove in her arms uncomfortably, and said, "No...... It's nothing. ”

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and rubbed her little head: "Why does the princess seem to be afraid of me?" What did Big Brother White do to make the princess scared? ”

Lin Shuang'er shrunk her neck and quibbled: "No, Big Brother Bai won't eat people, I'm afraid of what you will do......"

Seeing that she was a little resistant, Bai Yutang withdrew his hand and stopped teasing her. He looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and when he saw a candy seller, he said, "The princess is standing here and waiting." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and bought Lin Shuang'er a big and sweet candy man.

It is the shape of her favorite phoenix.

Bai Yutang handed the sugar man to Lin Shuang'er and said, "The princess shouldn't have been out of the palace for a long time, right?" I don't know if there is a difference between the sugar man in Beirong and the sugar man in the Great Song Dynasty, I remember that the princess's favorite thing to eat is this sugar man. ”

What difference can it make?

Lin Shuang'er thought to herself, it was all made of maltose and honey, and no matter how bad it was, she would add some osmanthus to it.

However, she did love it, and she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten it.

Since calling Beirong, she has stopped eating.

She stretched out her hand, and subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but she didn't know what she thought of, and slowly took her hand back.

Bai Yutang asked her, "What's wrong with the princess?" Don't like the pattern? ”

Lin Shuang'er shook her head and said, "You can't eat too much sugar, you have a toothache if you eat too much......

Bai Yutang was stunned, and then smiled: "Okay, if the princess doesn't want to eat, she won't eat it." ”

With the hand holding the candy man behind his back, his fingers secretly closed, and the delicate phoenix candy man was pinched into powder by him little by little......

The two of them were walking along the street when they suddenly saw vendors selling some elaborate lanterns on both sides of the lakeshore.

Bai Yutang led Lin Shuang'er forward, and at a glance he saw the exquisite rabbit lantern.

He brought the lantern to Lin Shuang'er and said, "Does the princess still like this lantern?" Big Brother Bai bought one for the princess, right? ”

Lin Shuang'er looked at the lantern in his hand, which was exactly the same as the one he gave her before, she suddenly raised her eyes and asked the boss, "Is this lantern given for free?" ”

The boss smiled: "The girl is really good at laughing, the lantern picked by the son is the most delicate, how can it be given for free?" If the girl doesn't want to buy it, just go and don't disturb my business......"

Lin Shuang'er's face turned pale.

She remembered that day of the Lantern Festival, Bai Yutang gave her an identical rabbit, he said that it was given by the boss for free, but Jiang Wan said that only the lover would send a lantern to the girl......

At that time, Ye Beicheng's face was ugly, and Bai Yutang took the initiative to explain, but Ye Beicheng's face did not improve after hearing this, and after returning to the room, he was inexplicably angry at her, and also stepped on her lantern to tatters......

At that time, she also thought that he just picked up a bargain for her, after all, he also gave one to Huiyi.

But he didn't expect that this lantern was carefully selected by him?

Bai Yutang didn't notice the change in Lin Shuang'er, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the vendor, saying, "I want this lantern!" ”

The merchant took the silver with a smile, looked at Lin Shuang'er who was standing on the side, and flattered: "The guest officer is really good eyesight, this lantern for your wife must be the most suitable." ”

Bai Yutang smiled, but did not open his mouth to refute.

The two of them walked to the lake, where a thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the lake, and the lights shone on it, shining with a cold light.

The two paused at the same time, Bai Yutang turned around, handed the lantern to Lin Shuang'er, and said, "Does the princess still like it?" ”

Lin Shuang'er didn't reach out to pick it up, she looked at Bai Yutang and said, "This lantern, you gave me an identical one before." ”

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned: "The princess has remembered?" ”

Lin Shuang'er continued to calm down and said, "You told me at the time that this lantern was given by the boss for free......"

Bai Yutang said with a smile: "What's the difference between giving it for free and buying it with money?" As long as you like......"

As long as she likes it, even if it is a star in the sky, he will try his best to take it off, what is a mere lantern?

"There is a difference!" Lin Shuang'er said.

Bai Yutang said: "What's the difference, I just want you to like it." ”

Lin Shuang'er said: "The difference is, can I pick it up!" Will it be misleading if you pick it up......"

Bai Yutang's hand holding the lantern tightened.

Lin Shuang'er mustered up her courage, raised her eyes to look at him steadily, and asked him word by word: "Brother Bai, what kind of thoughts do you have for me?" ”

Bai Yutang's Adam's apple rolled secretly, and he didn't speak for a while, but just looked at her deeply, and his eyes were full of feelings that she couldn't understand.

Lin Shuang'er couldn't help but look away in the end: "What are you looking at me like this......"

After a while, Bai Yutang finally spoke: "Shuang'er, don't you still understand my thoughts about you?" ”

Lin Shuang'er raised her eyes to look at him, and heard him continue: "Once, I told you that I like a person, and I am afraid that others will see it, and I am afraid that others will find out about it......"

Lin Shuang'er breathed tightly, and then listened to him continue: "That person is not Huiyi, but you!" Frost ...... It's you from start to finish! ”
