Nangong Mansion.

There was a very simple and unfashionable small room in the south courtyard, and there was nothing in the house except a wooden bed and a small bamboo platform.

"Sister, black."

"Li, sister is by your side."

"Sister, I'm much better."

Nangong Li struggled to pull the quilt on the bed.

There was no stove in the house, and the nights at the end of January were still very cold.

Nangong Jing hesitated for a moment and pressed the fox fur that Lin Yi had draped on her sister's body.

"Li, I'll sleep here with you tonight."

"Sister, you really don't need to, you go back to sleep in the courtyard. Actually, I feel like there's nothing wrong, Princess Han is very powerful. ”

Nangong Jing was lying on the ground, and remembered what Leng Fang said to herself before leaving: You can trust the princess.

"Li, do you think we can trust that Han princess?"

"I don't know, but the maid's words, Li also heard it."

Nangong Jing was a little curious.

"Glass, you know what we said?"

Nangong Li turned over, although it was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers, she knew that her sister was lying under the bed.

"It was just a little lacking, but I heard it all."

Nangong Jing half-sat up again.

"None of the royal doctors in the palace have been able to cure you, and no one knows what you have. Can that Han princess really heal you? ”

Nangong Li chuckled.

"Sister, you forgot the reception banquet for the Tanglin envoy in the palace last time, but several people praised that Miss Yi's medical skills. Who would dare to speak before the Holy One today? ”

Nangong Li paused again and said, "I, I believe that Princess Han is not a bad person. ”

Nangong Jing sighed, although the two of them were concubines, but their mother died early, and their sister was not in good health, and their status in the family was not as good as that of their younger brother Nangong Jinghan.

In a few days, it will be the day when the aunt will be promoted to the mother, and the younger brother who is the concubine will also become the sister-in-law of the Nangong family.

Since then, the Nangong family has had four sons and daughters.

The sisters had seen the ruthlessness of their sister Nangong Rong, and Nangong Li almost died in the hands of Nangong Rong.

"Li, although I also want to trust Princess Han, I have to guard against people."

"Sister, Li understands. It's not early, go to bed early, and I'll go to the Hanwang Mansion in a few days. ”

Nangong Li touched the fox fur on the quilt, can she get out of this room?

She doesn't like to come here when she is uncomfortable, there are no books, no piano, only endless darkness.

But tonight is very warm, with my sister and this dress.

Jinghan Pavilion.

Lin Yi made a long list with a snort.

She carefully recalled the Nangong sisters' every move when they came to the house, and then focused on the bookshelf.

During this inspection, she noticed some powder remaining in the dark compartment in several places.

Sawdust?

Suddenly, a cold wind came in.

Lin Yi shouted without looking back: "Shui Han, come here!" ”

Seeing the fully open dark grid, Qin Shuihan was also slightly stunned, could it be that there was something in it?

"Yiyi, what's wrong?"

"Look at these powders, do you know what they are?"

Qin Shuihan wiped the place where the residual powder was wiped with his fingertips, the golden color, but the powder was very fine.

"It's gold dust, maybe it fell in when the workers were building it."

Lin Yi sighed, although it was very close to the color of the sawdust, but unfortunately the powder seemed to be too fine, and he couldn't tell what it was at all.

She took Qin Shuihan's hand and asked, "Do you know that there is a secret grid here?" ”

"Yes."

“……”

Lin Yi pouted.

"If it weren't for the Nangong sisters to play, I wouldn't have known about this bookshelf and this mechanism. You don't even tell me! ”

"You didn't ask me."

"You-"

Seeing Lin Yi's displeased, Qin Shuihan was also very helpless.

"I always thought you knew. Generally, there will be some hidden compartments on the bookshelf, and there is only a difference between how much and what is not hidden. ”

"Okay."

Lin Yi saw that his lips were a little cracked, and poured him a cup of honey grapefruit tea.

"Shui Han, who are the people of the Nangong family?"

Qin Shuihan took the tea and took a sip.

Sweet and sour, fragrant and pleasant, this is a taste he has never tasted.

"Nangong Jing's craftsmanship is good, not like the eldest lady in the capital. As for her sister Nangong Li, I don't know very well, but I heard that she is weak. However, the lady of the side room of the Nangong family is going to enter the clan, and there will be a few more brothers and sisters in the future. ”

Qin Shuihan put down the teacup and looked at Lin Yi.

"Yiyi, Miss Nangong is not easy to get along with?"

Lin Yi shook his head, and then showed a sweet smile.

"No, I still admire them. It's just that they always feel too restrictive. ”

Lin Yi believed in Qin Shuihan's vision, whether it was for a man or a woman, since he could directly enter his courtyard, he was definitely not a bad person.

Qin Shuihan was thoughtful, the Nangong sisters were indeed very cautious, and they didn't like to associate with the young lady in the capital very much.

Lin Yi shook the honey grapefruit tea and added some more to Qin Shuihan.

"Shui Han, how about this tea? It was the first time I saw such pure honey, and I heard Chef Cheng say that it was an offering from someone else. ”

Qin Shuihan took another sip, the taste of this honey and grapefruit was very compatible.

He chuckled, Xia Ruoyu had a heart.

Since he was supported to become the lieutenant of Wagang County, in less than half a year, he has indeed made some achievements.

Qin Shuihan glanced at Lin Yi.

"Yiyi, I'll take you out tomorrow, there's a place called Yige Painting Boat, the scenery is good at this time, just go to see the county lieutenant of Wagang."

"Lieutenant of Wagang?"

"He brought his wife to Beijing together, you can be a companion with his wife and enjoy the flowers together."

However, Qin Shuihan paused again.

"His wife doesn't have a good brain, but her character is not bad."

Lin Yi was confused.

"All the women in the world are not treated by you!"

"No, the woman of the world, you are the one who has won my heart the most. There is also the master who taught me martial arts back then. ”

Lin Yi rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention.

The next day, when Qin Shuihan and Lin Yi arrived at the Yige Painting Boat, Xia Ruoyu and Ge Jingci were already waiting in the Painting Boat.

"Humble duty with Jing Jing porcelain, meet His Royal Highness King Han."

Xia Ruoyu's voice was clear and loud, it was originally just a private gathering, but his dress was very formal.

The woman on the side also immediately saluted.

"Lieutenant Xia, don't be restrained. This is the future princess of this king, Imu. ”

Lin Yi sighed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.

is different from Ye Wan's gentleness, not as clear as Nangong Li, nor as noble as He Qianxue, it is a supreme beauty.

Lin Yi's harazi was about to flow out, and she hurriedly said, "I've seen County Lieutenant Xia and Mrs. Xia." ”

"I've seen Miss Yi."

Ge Jingci also hurriedly blessed her body.

They also glanced at Lin Yi, but they didn't expect that this was the future princess of King Han.

At this time, Qin Yi in the painting boat waved to them.

"Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, hurry up and get on the painting boat, let's go to the island in the middle of the lake over there."

Lin Yi looked at the painting boat, Xiao Qi, Bai Shangshu, Zuo Haoran, and two other people who didn't know were tasting wine.

got on the painting boat, and it was another greeting.

It turns out that Bai Shangshu also has such a simple brother.

Lin Yi glanced at him again, and sailed to the distance of the island in the middle of the lake, this person leaned on the side of the painting boat, and made a poem at random.

"Gently chanting elegant words, brushing your face and feeling intoxicated."

However, the scribe Wen Tuzi beside Bai Ye was quite interesting.

Lin Yi lowered her head and held back a smile.

With a poetic name, it is not only a loose curly hair, but also a strange nickname called "Zhenzi Lei"!

Qin Shuihan didn't know that Lin Yi was holding back a smile, thinking that she was a little boring, so he squeezed Lin Yi's little hand and said in her ear: "When you get to the island in the middle of the lake over there, you and Mrs. Xia will go around." ”

Lin Yi looked around at the men present and felt that they wanted to talk about something, and it must have been inconvenient for the women to be present.

When he arrived at the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Yi took the initiative to invite Ge Jingci.

"Mrs. Xia, I see that the scenery here is good, why don't we two go shopping first?"

Ge Jingci immediately nodded and said, "Okay." It is said that the flower god of the song painting boat is the most beautiful, maybe we can still see the flower god today. ”

As soon as she heard the word god of flowers, Lin Yi immediately became interested.

The two walked together towards the center of the island.

"What is the god of flowers?"

"Miss Yi doesn't know?"

Ge Jingci's exaggerated expression made Lin Yi feel a little uncomfortable, and she knew why she was still asking her...

Biyue kept a distance not far from the two of them, but Ge Jingci's voice was crisp and loud, and all her words fell into Biyue's ears.

The princess doesn't have this common sense.

Biyue glanced at Ge Jingci again, and always felt that this lady had taken the princess for a fool.

Lin Yi helped his forehead.

"I'm lonely and don't really understand what a flower god is."

Ge Jingci still looked at her in disbelief, but also patiently explained: "It is the auspicious god on the Flower Dynasty Festival." Worship the god of flowers, you can keep peace and auspiciousness. ”

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, there were no ghosts and snake gods in the palace, so that she didn't know what gods there were in this era at all.

I once asked Qin Shuihan, that guy is an atheist, and he especially doesn't like the things that gods talk about.

It's just that when he crossed back again, he seemed to have changed a little, and occasionally said some blessings from God.

"Miss Yi, look there."

Lin Yi looked up in the direction that Ge Jingci was pointing, and there was a sculpture in front of him, which was decorated with many colored stripes.

The stone carving is a woman, and in Lin Yi's eyes, she is the kind of fairy who is fluttering.

It's not the kind of cartoon big breasts and small waist, but it's a little rich, it's a very real feeling, and the facial features are not exaggerated, there is a kind of peaceful beauty of moderation.

That's why you can become the god of flowers.

"Miss Yi, this flower god is not as beautiful as you and me, and the carving is too ordinary."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, this Mrs. Xia spoke without concealment.

"Mrs. Xia has the appearance of a country, of course, she is more beautiful than this flower god."

Ge Jingci glanced at the god of flowers again, she really thought that the statue was too ordinary.

"My looks are obvious to all, but not talent or anything. I didn't get into the Holy Eye, and His Royal Highness King Han didn't take a fancy to me. ”

“……”

Lin Yi couldn't help but pause, this sentence was too informative.

Seeing Lin Yi stop suddenly, Ge Jingci turned her head innocently.

"Miss Yi doesn't know?"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes and immediately said, "I'm from Hangzhou, and I just came to the capital not long ago. ”

Ge Jingci nodded suddenly and said, "No wonder." Last year, although I was fortunate enough to walk in front of the saint, I was given by the saint to His Royal Highness King Han. ”

Lin Yi chuckled in his heart, his own male god actually had such a big melon, and he didn't know it at all!

Ge Jingci shook her head, not knowing whether she was happy or regretful.

"But when I went to the Han King's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Han King kept me hanging in the guest room, not only ignoring me, but also directly saying that he didn't like me. I have never seen such an indifferent prince. ”

Lin Yi laughed awkwardly and silently waited for her next step.

"Miss Yi, just now His Royal Highness the Han King called you the future Han Princess, which scared me. Such a man would even take a wife! ”

“……”

"However, there was indeed a Han princess before."

Lin Yi really can't see through her, is this a lack of heart or is it deliberately provoking?

"King Han has eyes but no beads, but he didn't even take a fancy to you."

Ge Jingci smiled and said, "I think so too." But I have a loved one. At first, my father was against it, but all this was thanks to His Royal Highness King Han, and Ruoyu and I were able to come together. ”

Lin Yi frowned, and instantly understood what Qin Shuihan meant when he said that his brain was not good and his character was not bad.

Suddenly, Ge Jingci turned to look at Lin Yi.

"Miss Yi, do you know that His Royal Highness the King of Han said that I was stupid in front of me!"

“……”

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth stiffened, but he still showed a smile very politely.

"The Cold King... He is indeed a very stern person. ”

Ge Jingci stomped her foot, hummed dissatisfiedly, and continued to walk forward.

"However, for his sake of helping me and my husband, I forgive him."

Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, and quickly looked around, this was heard by Shui Han, and he probably wanted to knock her out.

But she was curious to know if anything else was going on.

"Mrs. Xia, when were you given to King Han by the Holy Lord?"

"Last year's spring draft. I stayed in the Hanwang Mansion for two months, but I saw him twice. ”

"Oh, then you didn't try to communicate with the Han King?"

"He directly told me that he didn't like me and what else did he communicate. But then he went to fight in northern Xinjiang. When I came back from the war, I asked my husband to come to the house to pick me up. ”

"Shui Han went to fight in Northern Xinjiang?"

The wound on his right arm flashed in Lin Yi's mind, could it be the wound he suffered at that time?

Ge Jingci was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Lin Yi to call King Han so affectionately.

"Miss Yi, you have a good relationship with King Han?"

Lin Yi reacted and immediately nodded.

"Yes, I have a good relationship with him."

"Miss Yi, is your father's official position big?"

“……”

Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, this question is going to force people to death.

"The little girl is a civilian, without any background."

Ge Jingci took a long breath and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness King Han is also a temperamental person. When the draft girl was drafted, ordinary people did not have the opportunity to be primary. ”

Lin Yi was silent, in the eyes of the world, the identity of the second lady of the Lin Mansion was not worthy of Shui Han, but the relationship between them had already surpassed their status.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't react, Ge Jingci asked again: "Miss Yi, how did you get acquainted with His Royal Highness King Han?" ”

Lin Yi pursed her lips and smiled: "Fate." ”

After speaking, she raised her arm and pointed not far away.

"Mrs. Xia, the flowers over there are very beautiful."

Not far away is a sea of flowers, full of camellias.

Ge Jingci immediately ran over, she had never seen so many camellias.

"It's beautiful!"

The two sighed in unison.

Then I turned my head and saw another primrose next to it, with bright yellow buds and purple petals, which was a sea of flowers.

"Miss Yi, look over there, there is also a spring flower."

The two of them walked towards the spring flowers again, and the air was faintly scented, like the smell of grass.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, it turned out that this was the land of flowers.

At this moment, she deeply felt the breath of spring.

Ge Jingci folded a spring flower strip.

"Miss Yi, this bright color is the same as the brassicass we have there."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes, what kind of plant is brassica?

Ge Jingci licked her lips and said proudly, "The brassica nectar we have there is delicious. I don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Han is not satisfied with our tuyi. ”

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, could it be that the honey she drank was sent by them?
