After greetings, the prince expressed some concern for Lin Jinyan, and then asked Yuzhi to take him to the backyard, as if he just met by chance to say hello.
After watching the discussion, the prince smiled and said:
"Seeing them learn martial arts, I really envy them. If I hadn't been studying with my father since I was a child and missed the age of practicing martial arts, I would also like to learn some."
Qin Zongliang lowered his eyebrows to continue his tea, and glanced at Zheng Xiangheng beside him with his peripheral vision:
"Who says it's not the case? Men should all yearn to practice martial arts and have fantasies of galloping on the battlefield, just like Miss Lin's cousin General Anbei. To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have always wanted to make friends with General Anbei, but it's just because he is a military general. , for fear of attracting criticism from His Highness."
Zheng Xiangheng's eyes quickly passed through a flash of thought:
"General Anbei is indeed someone many men want to be. I am not afraid of the jokes of His Highness and the Crown Prince. I am young and frail, and the elders in my family are worried about me. They heard that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, and they even let me learn martial arts for several years. ."
The prince looked surprised: "Oh? It turns out that you are a real person without showing your face. You look like a weak scholar, but you have learned martial arts? How do you compare to Xue Ren?"
Zheng Xiangheng smiled helplessly:
"Your Highness really thinks highly of me. Xue Ren's skills are well known to everyone, so how can I dare to compete with him? I am already weak, and when I practice martial arts, I only practice according to my ability, so naturally I am not good at it. I am the gatekeeper in the mansion, if I don't care about me Even if you keep your identity, I can’t compare to you.”
Qin Zongliang was holding the teacup, listening to the two chatting and laughing with a smile, and looked at Zheng Xiangheng who was speaking with deep eyes.
backyard.
Yuzhi led Lin Jinyan directly into the house without informing him.
In the house, the imperial concubine was talking to Sun Lingxiu, the daughter of Sun Shangshu, and Wang Huizhao. When she saw Lin Jinyan coming, her smile suddenly widened, and she affectionately called Lin Jinyan, who was saluting.
Wang Huizhao, who was originally a little restrained, smiled a little more when he saw Lin Jinyan.
Crown Princess: "Two days ago, the Crown Prince's friend sent me a chef who makes pastries. His pastries are sweet but not greasy and fragrant in my mouth. After I finished eating them, I thought about calling you all here to try them. I'm not boasting, Not only do I think it’s delicious, but the prince also thinks it’s good, and I’ve been asking friends to come and have a sit in the house these days.”
When Lin Jinyan and the other two heard this, they all smiled and thanked them.
"I heard that Huizhao and you have a very good personal relationship, so I thought of calling you both here so that I can feel more at ease with people who are familiar with me."
Lin Jinyan: "The Crown Princess is kind and attentive. She takes care of us as if we were her own sisters, so we won't feel uncomfortable."
Wang Huizhao agreed and thanked him, and Sun Lingxiu also echoed.
At the command of the Crown Princess, a variety of pastries were placed on the entire table, which was pleasing to the eye just looking at them.
The Crown Princess kindly asked the three of them to sit around a table, drink hot tea and taste pastries.
The three of them all spoke highly of it after eating it and thanked the Crown Princess one after another.
After being praised, the Crown Princess smiled and said:
"Which one do you like to eat? Take some back when you leave, but don't be polite to me."
The few of them chatted while eating, from makeup to facial hair, from jewelry to cloth, from politeness to intimacy.
When talking about female celebrities, Sun Lingxiu took out the paper handed over by her personal maid:
"Speaking of nvhong, I accidentally saw a beautifully embroidered handkerchief two days ago, so I drew it. Unfortunately, nvhong couldn't get my hands on it, so I was planning to take it to the embroidery shop to embroider it today."
When the three of them heard this, they all curiously took it and admired it. Only Lin Jinyan looked puzzled and thoughtful.
Sun Lingxiu's eyes searched: "What's wrong with Miss Lin? Is this veil not good-looking?"
Lin Jinyan: "It looks good, but it looks familiar, as if I've seen it before somewhere..." (End of Chapter)
