Ling Chan gets busy.

I don't know what I'm crazy about when I'm in Tantai. I like to go to Lin's house and hang out a few times when I have nothing to do. Every time I ask Ling Chan to accompany me.

Facing him, Lingchan didn't even bother to pretend. Facing the culprit who had harmed the original owner for half his life, Lingchan didn't want to give him a good look.

Faced with her cold face, Tantai Shi became even more energetic. Every time the two of them met, they would exchange a few words.

"Tsk, the color of your clothes today is really ugly. Will the Marquis let you go out wearing such rags?"

"My father is very diligent and thrifty. Naturally, he can't compare to the prince's luxurious life where he spends money like water."

"Huh? Just because Marquis Xuanwei still has the wind in his sleeves? He dreams of becoming rich, right? - It's so pitiful to be reincarnated into this kind of family. Oh no, you are still adopted."

"It is Lingchan's honor to be favored by her father and mother. Because of her humble status, Concubine Shu takes notice of her and often calls me to serve in the palace."

The defense was broken in Tantai.

Every time Ling Chan mentioned that Concubine Shu intended for the two to get married, Tantai would explode on the spot, from talking to fighting.

Tantai Shi moved like lightning, accurately passing through Lingchan's scattered black hair, pinching her jade-white earlobe and gently pulling it, his knuckles sank into the soft flesh of Q.

"Humph," Tantai Shi smiled coolly, "Just you?"

He seemed to really hate Ling Chan, his face turned red with anger, his long eyelashes drooped, and he stared at Ling Chan coldly.

Lingchan didn't panic at all and showed him a provocative smile.

When he was in Tantai, he gritted his teeth and said harshly, "If you want to marry me, stop dreaming!"

"Then I'll wait for you to convince Concubine Shu."

"You don't know how," Tantai Shi suddenly approached Lingchan, "do you like me?"

Lingchan stood on her toes, their breathing intertwined, and she whispered, "What do you think?"

Tantai Shi felt as if he had been burned. He shuddered and stepped back. He quickly distanced himself and said with a red face: "Shameless!"

Without waiting for Lingchan to say anything else, he turned around and strode away.

Ling Chan sighed tiredly and saw Lin Jingshu's adoring eyes.

Lin Jingshu said: "You are the first one who can deal with this difficult ancestor!"

Lingchan: Show a polite and tired smile.

She said goodbye to Lin Jingshu, and Guan Qin hurriedly came in from outside the room. She approached Lingchan with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "His Royal Highness is waiting outside the door."

Lingchan was a little surprised, "Why did he come suddenly?"

"He must have bad intentions," Guan Qin curled his lips, "I don't believe he doesn't know that His Highness Prince An has just left, so what good can he do by coming here at this time?"



The prince's carriage stopped in the alley next to Lin's mansion.

The prince is reading a book.

A quarter of an hour passed without turning a page.

His subordinate opened the curtain and reported to him, "Your Highness, Miss Fu has arrived."

"Ah, it's my fault that I was too absorbed in reading," Tantai Zhi suddenly came to his senses. He put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't even hear the sound of Miss Fu's carriage."

"No..." The subordinate's expression was subtle, and he opened the curtain of the carriage, "You will know after taking a look."



Tantai Zhi couldn't believe his eyes.

The weak and quiet girl in his heart was riding on the wall, her skirt was covered in dust. She turned around and saw him, and smiled brightly, "Your Highness! Are you coming to play with me? Wait for me, I'll be here soon!"

Tantai Zhi held his forehead, got off the carriage, stood under the wall of Lin's mansion, looked up at the tall girl, frowned and said, "Can you get off?"

"Of course I can!" Lingchan followed the twins and often carried Mrs. Fu over the wall to go out to play. "Your Highness, get out of the way."

Tantai Zhi silently took a step back.

He watched helplessly as the girl on the wall jumped lightly, her long hair flying, her skirt billowing, and she fell to the ground as lightly as a flower.

The flower fell in his eyes, causing a tingling sensation.

The bright and vibrant smile shattered the weak and lovely girl in Tantai Zhi's heart.

But he seemed to like her more.

Tantai Zhi brushed the dust off Ling Chan's face and sighed, "I didn't expect that Miss Fu has such a lively side."

"Because we haven't gotten to know each other before," Lingchan said proudly, "This is all the kung fu I've been practicing since childhood! It's so awesome!"

"Are you familiar now?" Tantai Zhi smiled, "I am honored to do so."

"So why did His Highness come to me suddenly today?"

"Prince An has been in and out of the Lin family frequently recently," Tantai Zhi restrained his smile and said steadily: "When he was in the palace, he always made things difficult for you. I am very worried about you."

"It's okay, he is just a paper tiger. After all, we are also relatives. For the sake of Concubine Shu, he won't do anything to me."

"Speaking of Concubine Shu," Tantai Zhi hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Why hasn't your concubine invited you into the palace recently?"

Why else? It must have been a hindrance during the Tantai period.

Lingchan wondered, what on earth did he tell Concubine Shu? Are you strongly resisting entering the palace, or are you willing to cultivate a relationship with yourself outside the palace? Or, complaining about hanging out with the prince every day in the palace?

Ling Chan lowered her eyelashes and said a little lowly: "His Royal Highness Prince An rejects me so much, Concubine Shu... maybe she has given up on me."

"My mother will be very fond of you."

Tantai Zhi didn't know which gods in heaven and earth he had offended, so that at this moment, strange ghosts and gods were controlling his body, and he said completely incomprehensible, unbelievable and ridiculous words.

He looked at the blushing girl in front of him, cursed the evil ghosts and gods in a daze, and tried to make amends for himself, "I mean you are very popular with the elders, and the imperial grandmother will also like you..."

What are these? !

Lingchan was amused. She rolled her eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Highness. I know you want to comfort me... You are the best person I have seen since I came to the capital."

"Before, I thought that the nobles in the palace would be very aloof and repulsive to others, but I didn't expect His Highness to be so gentle!"

"Thank you too," Tantai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely praised her, "Everyone will like Miss Fu, Prince An... he has a bad brain."

Ling Chan pursed her lips, "I thought we were already friends? If Your Highness is willing, just call me A Chan."

"A-Chan..." The intimate title came out of his mouth, and Tantai Zhi felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said with a smile: "The Lantern Festival in the capital will be in two days. Do you want to watch the lanterns with me?"

Under the long daylight, Tantai Zhi's face was a little red, and he seemed a little shy, but his eyes were fixed on Ling Chan, refusing to let go of her expression.

Lingchan was stared at by his real gaze, her fingers curled up, her eyes looked away, and she said after a while: "...Okay."

She took a breath, as if she didn't understand why she was so nervous.

The sun was shining brightly, and Tantai Zhi's heart was pounding.

His purpose of coming has been achieved, and it is logically time for him to leave. There are still many memorials issued by his father on his papers, and there are many things waiting for him to deal with. He should not waste time in the back alley of a fifth-grade official residence. time……

But he still wanted to talk to her.

"I haven't seen many lantern festivals in Beijing, but I heard that the lantern tower by Yangliu Lake holds a competition every year. The winner of the competition can get the best lantern of that year. We can go watch it together."

"Well," Lingchan looked up at him, her smile brighter than the sun, "When I was at home, I often went to see the lanterns with my brother. Our place is a small place and there are no such fancy activities, but every year the lanterns are very beautiful……"

It's a pointless, wasted day.

This is a day full of expectations and excitement.
