The fourth princess never fights an unprepared battle. Faced with this strange relationship that was beyond her knowledge, she retreated cautiously.
Xie Linyu went to find his relatives, and asked Chan to congratulate Fu Wenci on the wedding.
"Brother, long time no see." Lingchan squatted down and saluted with a bright smile.
Fu Wenci was dressed in a red robe, with peonies given by the emperor tied behind his ears. The rich red lining made him look more graceful and handsome.
He said warmly: "Are you getting used to living in the palace? There are many rules in the palace. Remember not to offend the nobles, and remember to take good care of yourself."
Lingchan smiled and responded one by one.
The brother and sister get along well with each other, and there is a hint of politeness and alienation in the warmth.
The close brothers and sisters who used to talk about everything now have nothing to say after being separated for half a year.
Fu Wenci didn't know how to face this sister, a sister he thought he knew very well, but actually didn't know at all.
Those outrageous rumors...he didn't believe a word of them. His sister is not the kind of person who clings to the dragon and the phoenix! Although my sister is indeed beautiful, the two Royal Highnesses are not shallow and despicable people who would force a beautiful girl!
But he didn't know how to say these words to his sister.
Lingchan's smile contained only politeness and no intimacy, leaving him unable to express his full trust.
"Soseki." His Highness the Crown Prince followed the trail, "Why are you hiding here?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciated him very much and treated him with great courtesy. He had recruited him several times before he won the top prize, and he was considered his bole.
Fu Wenci respected this prince who was a humble and benevolent prince. He immediately turned around and saluted, "Your Highness, my sister and I have not seen each other for a long time, and we are talking."
This turn revealed Lingchan, who was originally hidden by his figure.
Fu Wenci watched helplessly as the prince in front of him changed his expression.
The originally calm and broad eyes suddenly softened, and the tolerant sea turned into gentle spring water. The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he wanted to laugh but was suppressing it.
The prince's calm face lit up.
This is the joy that cannot be concealed, the joy of seeing something you love so much.
The prince looked happy. He stretched out his hand to Lingchan and said gently: "Achan, come here."
Lingchan glanced at Fu Wenci hesitantly.
The prince smiled and said, "It's okay. Soseki and I are close friends."
"..." Fu Wenci had no expression on his face.
All admiration and respect disappeared without a trace from Fu Wenci's heart at this moment.
Best friend? Just to hook up with my sister!
"This is the Qionglin Banquet, not a place where men and women hang out."
King An's cold voice came. Before Fu Wenci could get angry at him for calling Ling Chan a bitch, he subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, he knew that the rumors could not be true...
Then he noticed that Prince An's eyes were coldly staring at the hands held by the prince and Lingchan.
That's definitely jealous, right?
I'm definitely jealous!
"Third brother," the prince scolded, "since you know this is the Qionglin Banquet, you shouldn't speak wildly."
"I just said a few words, how can it compare to what you actually do?"
The two were tit for tat and refused to give in.
Lingchan, standing next to the prince, huddled his shoulders and looked panicked.
She doesn't look like the culprit of a dispute, but like a poor girl who was forced into a war.
"Prince, Prince An," Emperor Qianhua's voice was cold, "What are you doing?"
It was obviously a question, but because there was no doubt in the words, it turned into a straight statement. It's as if the speaker knows everything and doesn't need to be answered.
"Father," the prince saluted and said, "The third brother speaks wild words, and my son is teaching him."
King An sneered: "I think you should discipline yourself more."
Emperor Qianhua didn't say a word. Among the scholars who were walking half a mile away, he turned to look at Fu Wenci and said, "Let Tanhua Lang laugh."
The attitude is surprisingly gentle.
Emperor Qian Hua looked at Ling Chan again and suddenly smiled, "What makes my two sons like her is that she is such a beautiful child."
…
[Chanchan...you said before that you wanted to find someone new to play with...didn't you mean Xie Linyu...]
[Of course not. Ayu is so cute, how can you use it as a toy? Of course looking for something exciting. 】
[Emperor Qianhua... He looks very fierce...]
[It doesn’t matter, he will learn to bow his head. ] Lingchan paused, a little aggrieved: [Tong'er... Do you even want to scold me? I only have you, I thought you could understand me...]
【That was not what I meant! ] The system immediately said: [Isn’t he just a feudal emperor? You can do whatever you want! 】
…
After the Qionglin banquet, Lingchan and Xie Linyu reconciled.
Xie Linyu has a restless temper and likes to drag Ling Chan around in the palace every day.
If you have nothing to do, go to the Imperial Garden.
Then I met Emperor Qianhua drinking tea and looking at flowers in the pavilion of the imperial garden.
The Royal Garden suddenly became lively.
The well-dressed concubines paraded in the imperial garden and looked at the flowers. They were more delicate than the flowers.
People are coming and going, and they are crowded together, just like the scenic spots during the modern Spring Festival.
Xie Linyu wondered: "Why are there so many people? Why did His Majesty suddenly come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers? He used to devote all his time to national affairs?"
Ling Chan smiled and said nothing.
So Xie Linyu sighed, held Lingchan's arm and said, "Then let's go first?"
Of course Lingchan would not refuse her.
So the two went to Taiye Pond hand in hand.
The next day, when the two returned to the Imperial Garden, eunuchs were guarding several entrances to the Imperial Garden. They stopped every concubine who wanted to enter with thoughtful etiquette but could not refuse.
Xie Linyu pulled Lingchan and turned around to leave.
"You two girls, please stay!" The leading eunuch dismissed the concubine and hurried after them.
The eunuch's smile was flattering, "Your Majesty is working in the garden and doesn't want to be disturbed by the masters in the backyard. However, if the girls want to take a stroll, they won't get in the way."
Xie Linyu refused.
The eunuch looked at Lingchan pitifully, almost as if asking for help.
Lingchan smiled politely and said, "Your Majesty is busy with many things, and now he wants to be clean. How can we disturb him? It won't hinder him if he goes for a walk elsewhere."
The two left.
After that day, the emperor never came to the imperial garden again.
…
Emperor Qianhua's movements aroused many people's discussions. King An went to the palace specially to meet Concubine Shu.
"What's happened to my father recently?" An Wang asked anxiously: "Did I cause a bigger disturbance by recruiting students recently, and my father is trying to beat me up with an excuse?"
Concubine Shu took a sip of tea and said coldly: "Your Majesty wants to beat you, so there is no need for these rejection methods."
She looked at the energetic son she had worked so hard to raise and whispered: "The Fu family's child... you should have less contact with her."
"Mother?" King An suddenly raised his head, "Isn't she the wife you specially found for me?"
Concubine Shu could see her child's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "At that time, I just thought that the child would be good-looking and that you would like it, but I didn't expect..."
Could that superior person be attracted by the appearance of the girl Xianyan?
