The next day.
It was breakfast and lunch together again, and Cuixi seemed to have gotten used to Lin Yi's laziness.
She had been in the palace for three years and had been expecting the prince to have a concubine as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that she would end up marrying such a woman.
What is the ability of the woman in front of me?
After observing it for so long, she couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yi devoured her meal, but she still hadn't forgotten her promise to sing today.
"Where is King Han? Take me there quickly. You can clean up these dishes and chopsticks when you come back."
"yes."
Lin Yi was too lazy to wear fur clothes. Anyway, all the rooms in Prince Han's Mansion had fireplaces burning, and just a short distance outside could withstand the severe cold.
Cuixi took Lin Yi to Qin Shuihan's yard.
Lin Yi was slightly startled. This was her first time going to Qin Shuihan's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here."
With a creak, the door opened.
Unexpectedly, it was Xuanfeng who opened the door.
"Princess please."
Lin Yi stepped in and heard the sound of the door closing behind her.
She and Qin Shuihan were the only two people left in the room.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Yi jumped over and ran over.
"Why does your bedroom look like a study? Are those all books?"
Lin Yi suddenly stopped and looked at the huge bookshelf.
I saw that the bookshelf was full of densely packed and neat books.
Qin Shuihan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her red face quietly.
She must have been too lazy to wear fur clothes because she jumped all the way here.
That picture!
Qin Shuihan couldn't help but sneer.
"The middle is the book, and the top and bottom are the files."
"oh--"
Lin Yi glanced at the top and bottom books, and sure enough, there was no title written on them.
She walked over, avoiding the files wisely, and looked at the row of books in front of her.
She noticed a book with a bookmark on it and looked over.
The title of the book is "Gan Shi Xing Jing".
She took out the book and flipped through a few pages quickly, astronomy?
"King Han, the book you read covers so much ground!"
Qin Shuihan glanced at the book in her hand. This "Gan Shi Xing Jing" was read before, just to calculate the auspicious date for getting married.
But this book is really interesting.
Lin Yi didn't know that this inconspicuous book was about the great Chinese civilization. The planetary movements recorded in the book were two thousand years earlier than Galileo's.
She put down the book and glanced at the bed behind the screen. It looked cold and hard.
On such a cold day, even if there is a fireplace, it doesn't seem to be very warm.
"You haven't woken up yet? Do you want to sleep on my bed?"
Qin Shuihan's voice rang in her ears, and he stood quietly behind her.
Lin Yi turned around and rolled her eyes at him. That frosty King Han was probably gone forever.
"Is that bed for practicing internal strength? Why does it look so simple?"
"Yes, the bed would be soft without you. From now on, I will live at your place."
"..."
Lin Yi felt that he could no longer continue this topic. The more he talked, the more holes he would dig for himself.
"King Han, why don't we practice the piano yet?"
Qin Shuihan looked at her with interest.
"Would you like to sing one first?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, then let's play "Red Bean". The melody is soothing, and I think people of this era can also accept it.
She cleared her throat and sang leisurely:
“I haven’t fully felt the climate where the snowflakes are blooming. We tremble together. We will understand better what gentleness is.
/ I haven’t held hands with you / Walked through the deserted sand dunes / Maybe from now on / Learn to cherish the eternity and eternity of the earth
Sometimes/Sometimes/I will believe that everything has an end/There is a time to get together and leave/Nothing will last forever.”
Qin Shuihan listened with rapt attention. He didn't expect Lin Yi's singing voice to be so melodious. Was that strange song "Forward, Forward" meant to tease him?
"You really can sing."
"...I didn't say I couldn't sing..."
Qin Shuihan chuckled. He had never heard this song before. It was written in vernacular and not like poetry. It was such a magical song.
"Where did you learn this piece of music?"
"Hmm... I forgot too. It seems that my mother taught me to sing when I was a child..."
This is a song that Lin Yi likes. The original singer’s ethereal voice paired with the lyrics is a perfect fit.
Thinking about it this way, there are still so many beautiful things in this world for her to miss.
Qin Shuihan didn't like her helpless expression.
He had already found out that her mother, Xiao Su, was just an ordinary cloth merchant's daughter. She could not be said to be rich, but she was from a middle-class family at most.
Including Xiao Su's sweetheart Shen Lingwu, he also followed the clues to find out everything.
The two were childhood sweethearts and had never been to an academy. They were not from a scholarly family that read poetry and books at all.
How did Xiao Su raise a daughter like Lin Yi?
What's more, Xiao Su died when she was five years old.
Isn't she Lin Yi?
Whenever Qin Shuihan thought like this, he found it funny. Lin Weifu didn't doubt her, so why should he worry so much about investigating who she was.
Anyway, Qin Shuihan believed that all of this was God's best arrangement.
"Tell me when you remember one day."
Qin Shuihan looked at her indifferently, with unspeakable helplessness hidden in his deep eyes.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and made a pun.
Lin Yi was shocked. Could it be that he was doubting something about himself?
The deceased Xiao Su was his best shield, what else could he find out?
But when she looked up and saw the calm look on his face, she thought that maybe she was overthinking it. If she had any doubts about herself, how could she still marry her.
Qin Shuihan walked to the guzheng, closed his eyes, and recalled the music just now in his mind.
Point up.
The sound of the piano is soothing, smooth, and ups and downs, perfectly capturing the essence of the lyrics.
The song ends.
I have always been accustomed to the original melody, but I didn't expect that his melody would not feel inconsistent at all.
Lin Yi lamented the injustice of God. If he traveled to the 21st century, he would not only be a pillar of talent that society needs, but he might also be an idol that attracts everyone's attention.
She really wanted to test his IQ...
"Is this piece worthy of your song?"
"King Han played it, how could it not be worthy of it!"
Lin Yi admired him from the bottom of his heart. He could remember it immediately after hearing himself sing it once. What a genius!
It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
Before dawn, Lin Yi was pulled up to change clothes.
She saw Qin Shuihan's figure in a daze, and wondered why she didn't go to practice?
"Yiyi, I'm sorry for you, I have to get up early today."
Lin Yi drooped his head, reluctantly opened his eyes, and said in an extremely soft voice: "Don't be wronged, don't be wronged..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell back on the bed and fell into confusion.
Qin Shuihan had no idea. If he had known this, he wouldn't have bothered her last night.
But today was New Year's Eve, and he had to get up early to take her into the palace, and then he and several royal brothers had to report the year's progress to his father.
He called the maid in and dressed her up first.
Lin Yi was confused as she was being served to wash and change clothes. She felt her head getting heavier and heavier. She squinted and saw herself in the mirror with makeup that looked like a monkey's butt.
This time, she was scared to death and finally woke up completely.
"Cui Xi, what kind of makeup is this?"
"Reporting to the princess, this is the makeup for the face saint."
Lin Yi frowned. Not to mention whether it looked good or not, she definitely couldn't control it. Today's task was to lower her presence, have a New Year's Eve dinner, and escape back quickly so that she could dress up like this without scaring people to death. ?
She made a quick decision.
"Go get a basin of water and wipe off eight percent of your blush, leaving only the jade crown on your head."
Cuixi glanced at her somewhat depressedly. This princess didn't understand any rules, but she was a princess after all, and slaves could only obey her orders.
Although the makeup is not flattering, the palace clothes are really eye-opening.
Cyan base, wide-sleeved brocade coat, long brocade skirt, and a set of matching skirts, it seems that fur clothes are no longer needed.
After putting it on, Lin Yi took another look at this distinguished palace dress. The patterns and colors on each piece of fabric were very complicated, and the flowers were clustered and gorgeous.
It would be great if there was a camera. She really wanted to take a picture of this dress so that future generations could appreciate it.
This year’s New Year’s Eve, God seems to be particularly grateful.
The snow that had been falling all night finally stopped.
Although it is colder, it is cloudless and sunny, which is considered a good weather.
As the carriage drove all the way to the palace, Lin Yi couldn't help but lift the curtain and kept looking outside.
Every household is clearing the snow in front of the door, and many doors have peach charms hung on them.
Compared with modern times, the Chinese New Year in ancient times was much more intense, with laughter and laughter on the streets. Qin Shuihan said that fireworks would be set off at night.
Qin Shuihan, who was sitting aside, looked at Lin Yi quietly. On New Year's Eve in previous years, he would drink and chat with Xiao Qi, but this year he was with her. Seeing her excited expression, he suddenly felt that this was what the New Year was like. .
"Yiyi, when we get to the palace later, you can go around by yourself first. After meeting my father, I will look for you immediately. Even though it is a royal banquet, many ministers will also come. It is crowded and chaotic, so please pay attention to your safety."
No matter what, no one would make trouble on New Year's Eve. Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, I still have Bi Yue to protect me."
When we arrived at the palace gate, today was indeed different from the past.
Lin Yi had never seen the door open after several visits. At this time, it was guarded by two rows of guards to determine the people inside the carriage.
When the guards saw King Han, they immediately saluted. Lin Yi, who was beside him, also immediately let them go. However, they searched Xuan Feng and Bi Yue behind them to make sure they had weapons.
Lin Yi was secretly amused. She had several silver needles hidden in her waist. Why didn't she search her body?
This guard is not doing his job well enough.
However, this cannot be blamed on the guards. In fact, they are only responsible for searching the body of the guards. They have no right to interfere with officials and their families, let alone the prince.
Qin Shuihan took Lin Yi's hand and came to Nuanting.
The pavilion was surrounded by several layers of flannel, with a stove burning inside and a table in the middle filled with food.
Along the way, Lin Yi saw several wrapped pavilions. It turned out that they looked like this inside. It was really eye-opening.
"I'm going to see my father first."
Qin Shuihan glanced at Biyue again.
"Protect the princess."
He then hurried towards the imperial study room with Xuanfeng.
Seeing Qin Shuihan's retreating figure, Lin Yi couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Bi Yue, why do you think your master is acting like a butler?"
Biyue was speechless. She never thought that her master would have such a careless side.
"Reporting to the princess, the prince changed after marrying you."
"..."
This time it was Lin Yi's turn to be speechless.
She felt that people can distinguish between inside and outside. The Qin Shuihan she met before regarded herself as an outsider and seemed to reject others thousands of miles away, but he must treat the people around him differently.
"Biyue, when you followed King Han, was he also this cold and aloof, completely like a flower on the high mountain?"
Biyue burst into laughter.
My master is Qingfeng Jiyue, but no one has ever described him as the flower of the high mountains.
"Princess, this is what a slave looks like when he follows his master."
Well, Lin Yi slightly lowered his lips, setting a bad example, so Bi Yue also looked cold and cold.
She looked at the exquisite snacks on the table and stuffed two into her mouth.
So hungry.
"Biyue, don't you want to eat some?"
Lin Yi purred as she took the tea that Biyue poured for herself.
"Princess, this servant has had breakfast at home."
Biyue has become accustomed to Lin Yi's eating posture. She talks while eating, and her round cheeks are so cute.
Lin Yi felt ashamed. Did this girl also want to get up early to practice?
I am a night owl...
Although I want to adjust my biological clock to go to bed early and get up early, unfortunately, I have been tormented by that big bastard Qin Shuihan until midnight recently, and I am unable to do so...
Just as Lin Yi continued to stuff snacks into his mouth, two more people came into the pavilion.
I saw the woman in front of me wearing a red split-top and bottom coat skirt, paired with a half-length white fox fur coat, girlish hair in a bun, and a bejeweled hairpin crown, with a arrogant look on her face.
She squinted at Lin Yi, who was eating the snacks on the table so inelegantly, even though he was wearing the same fox fur as herself.
The woman's face looked a little gloomy.
She looked at Lin Yi from head to toe again, but she didn't see the official concubine's palace attire under the fox fur. She judged that she was a favored concubine or concubine based on the simple headdress.
How could such a lowly person be able to wear such a luxurious long fur coat!
The woman felt aggrieved.
Dad finally managed to catch a white fox and make him a fur coat. He didn't expect that this woman would be so favored.
"Whose woman are you?"
The woman walked up to Lin Yi and stared at her disdainfully, her eyes sliding down Lin Yi's face to the snack in her hand.
"Do you have such an eating style? You're so uneducated!"
Are you talking about yourself?
Lin Yi's eyes widened.
Does eating poorly mean you are uneducated?
She rubbed her forehead and sighed. The woman in front of her was an eldest lady from an unknown family. She was arrogant and domineering, her eyes were arrogant, and her raised chin seemed to be declaring war on herself.
Suddenly, Lin Yi thought of Lin Xuan'er, the nominal sister who was also gentler than the young master in front of her.
Forget it, she didn't want to argue with her, lest it cause trouble.
Thirty-six strategies are the best.
Lin Yi pointed to his mouth, shook his head, and made some gestures that he didn't even know to indicate to the other party that he couldn't speak.
She quickly pulled Biyue out of the pavilion.
The woman in red was shocked.
Dumb?
Which dignitary would marry a mute!
After walking a long way, Lin Yi patted his heart and took a long breath.
"Bi Yue, do you know the woman just now?"
The scene just now frightened Bi Yue. That woman knew martial arts. Although she was no match for her, she couldn't do anything rashly in this palace.
Maybe the other party is the daughter of some minister.
But I didn't expect that my princess would pretend to be mute.
She couldn't help but laugh.
"Reporting to the princess, I have never seen that woman, but everyone who can attend the banquet in the palace today must have a good background."
Bi Yue is more familiar with these things than Lin Yi.
Lin Yi curled her lips, it turns out that this is the case, I don’t know which family’s daughter she is.
