The carriage space was really small. As soon as the door was closed after getting on the carriage, Gu Mengyin's breath was filled with the faint scent of Yan Linyuan. She still couldn't help but want to get closer. Damn it!
Until now, she still wonders if the old man and the others made a mistake. Otherwise, how could Bai Ning not be her destined person?
If he wasn't, why did she like his scent so much?
Yan Linyuan looked at the small face whose emotions were changing rapidly, and couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking.
"The snacks brought by the palace are still warm."
Gu Mengyin was quickly attracted by the sweet smell. She swallowed, took the snack in his hand and ate it.
The red date cake has a very delicate texture, but it will make you choke if you eat too much.
"This is honey flower tea."
Gu Mengyin put the snack aside, and when she went to pick up the water bag, the water bag had already been brought to her mouth, so she didn't bother to take a sip from his hand.
The scented tea has a light floral fragrance and a faint sweetness. Whether it is snacks or scented tea, she is very satisfied.
Yan Linyuan saw how naturally she accepted him, and his eyebrows relaxed a little, "If you like it, I will ask the imperial chef to make more for you when you come back and send it to Gu's house."
Just when Gu Mengyin was about to agree, she thought of the old man's words about keeping a distance from him. She coughed and moved her butt to the side, "No reward for no merit, as long as the prince gives me money when the matter is done." ”
Yan Linyuan's eyebrows that had just relaxed were knitted together again. That's good, now he is always thinking about avoiding suspicion with him.
He raised the corners of his lips indifferently and took a sip from the water bag just now.
Gu Mengyin was stunned for a moment. She had just drank that water...
Outside the carriage, Jingchen wished he could stick to the door and listen to what was going on inside, but the sound of the wheels rubbing against the bluestone pavement was so loud that he couldn't hear anything.
Lin Fan now suspected that Miss Gu's sudden coldness towards the prince was probably because of something Taoist Priest Six Fingers and the others said.
"Taoist Priest Jingchen, you brought a lot of snacks with you when you came down. If Taoist Priest is hungry, you can take some out to fill your stomach."
After hearing this, Jingchen was no longer in the mood to eavesdrop, "Where did you put it?"
"It's in the bag."
Jingchen took the bag and opened it. Sure enough, there was a big bag of snacks inside. The fragrance came to his nostrils. Jingchen took a deep breath. It was so fragrant!
He picked up a piece of peach cake and ate it in his mouth, feeling extremely satisfied.
"The dim sum made in this palace is different, much more delicious."
"As long as Taoist priest thinks it tastes good, Miss Gu has been having trouble with the prince recently. She is no longer as enthusiastic about him as before." Lin Fan said as if unintentionally.
Jingchen swallowed the snack and said, "That's necessary. The regent is not her destined person, so why are she still clinging to him?"
Lin Fan was a little surprised, "What's going on with the Destined One?"
"Oh, you don't understand after I told you. My junior sister has to marry the destined person, otherwise she will be in trouble. So, you better persuade the regent to stop pestering my junior sister."
Lin Fan had heard the saying that it was fate, but when it actually happened to him, he still felt it was a bit unreal.
"Did Miss Gu find her destined person?"
"No, but it should be soon."
Lin Fan was stunned, wouldn't the prince be sad if Miss Gu really married the destined person?
In order to get to Kunshan as soon as possible, they did not stop to rest along the way. They walked along the official road until dark before finding an inn to stay.
"At the current speed, it will take us many days to reach Kunshan." Gu Mengyin felt that the speed was too slow. A lot of things could happen in these few days.
Yan Linyuan opened the door and got out of the carriage first, "After we are farther away from Xijing, we will change horses."
Gu Mengyin was about to jump out of the car when she saw his hand stretched out towards her.
When Gu Mengyin was hesitating whether to put her hand down, Jingchen grabbed her elbow and pulled her out of the car.
"Why are you dazed? Don't you feel tired after riding in a carriage for a whole day?"
Of course Gu Mengyin was tired. She just wanted to lie on the bed and sleep.
Yan Linyuan's eyes stiffened as he looked at his empty hands.
The gaze directed towards Jingchen was like an ice knife.
Jingchen hid behind Gu Mengyin and quickly led her to the inn.
As soon as they entered the courtyard of the inn, the expressions of several people changed.
I didn't pay attention when I got off the bus, but now I looked closer and realized that the inn was strangely quiet.
There is a high courtyard wall outside the inn, and inside the courtyard wall is a small wooden building.
As soon as they walked in, the door of the wooden building opened.
"Huh? When was this inn built? It doesn't seem to have existed before."
Lin Fan looked around and made sure that he had never been to this place before.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. If they didn't stay in a hotel, they would have to spend one night in the wilderness.
"Go and have a look first."
The four of them walked into the wooden building. As soon as they entered, the noisy sound immediately reached their ears. The lobby on the first floor was full of people, and the diners were all eating and drinking. It was very lively.
"There are obviously so many people inside and it's so lively, but we couldn't hear a sound outside the door just now. It's really strange."
"Guests, would you like to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"
A very thin boy walked over with a smile.
"Eating, accommodation, and four bedrooms."
"Okay, do you guys want to eat in the room or in the lobby?"
Yan Linyuan said: "Just eat in the lobby, and then go up when you are full."
"Okay, you guys, sit down for a while. These are all our signature dishes. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Yan Linyuan glanced at the menu and then looked at Gu Mengyin, "What do you want to eat?"
Gu Mengyin said: "Egg noodles, chicken and beef."
"Four bowls of egg noodles, two pounds of beef and one roast chicken."
"Okay, I'll prepare it for you, little one."
While waiting, Gu Mengyin glanced at the surrounding diners. Those people did not look at them, as if they did not exist at all.
Soon, the waiters arrived with their meals.
"Guests, the food has been served for you."
The fragrant food was served, but Gu Mengyin was not in a hurry to learn chopsticks this time.
Lin Fan didn't dare to move when he saw that everyone was still.
Seeing that they didn't eat, the waiter asked with a smile: "Guests, why don't you eat? Do you think the food cooked in the shop is not delicious?"
As soon as the guy finished speaking, the originally noisy lobby fell silent in an instant. Countless pairs of eyes fell on them, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Yan Linyuan picked up his chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl and said, "The food is too hot, please wait a minute."
The waiter then smiled again and said, "Eat it while it's hot, it's delicious."
The noise started again, as if the moment of silence had been a dream.
