Chapter 108 Let's Have a Cup of Tea
The winter night is dark.

Princess Pingyang studied ink, stood behind the desk, and took a pen to copy the art of war.

This is her perennial habit. When she can't sleep, she copies books.

Most of them are history books and military books. She doesn't like copying scriptures.

The conversation between aunt and nephew tonight was beyond her expectation.

She originally thought that Lin Fan should have no knowledge of his life experience, and it was not until she and Lin Zhi spoke up that the current balance would be broken.

Of course, that day is not too far away.

Lin Fan's facial features followed his biological mother's when he was a child, and naturally, he was five points similar to his adoptive mother's cousin. Just looking at the youngest son's appearance, it would not make people think that he was not Cheng Qiao's son.

As he grew older, he gradually became like his father.

As Marquis Yongning said, between Lin Fan's brows, there was a faint appearance of King Wu.

This was also what the eldest princess and Lin Zhi were worried about.

If it is impossible for Lin Fan to hide the truth from the empress dowager and the emperor from his appearance, they must confess to him.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Yongning rushed ahead of them.

What surprised the eldest princess even more was the edict in the hands of the old Hou Ye.

With the late emperor's edict in hand, many difficult things will become easier.

However, this is the eldest princess's own thoughts, and what she and Lin Fan said is also true.

It is true that the eldest princess has made a lot of preparations.

She remembered very clearly how angry and remorseful she felt when she learned of the death of the emperor's brother.

She was so angry that she drew out her long sword, and wanted to gallop to Mount Tai, kill Zhao Li with one sword, or rush into the harem and take Yan's life.

But she held back.

It's not timid or cowardly, but she knows what she should do.

Venting anger is refreshing for a while, and there is a lot of noise. Those who like to watch the excitement may praise her as a heroine among women, but what happens after venting their anger?

It's a mess.

She claimed to avenge her brother, but she caused Dazhou to fall apart and gave Xiliang, Nanshu and other foreign enemies a chance.

So, she calmed herself down.

For today's sake, the Yan family has been able to care for her stepson and stepdaughter for nearly 20 years. Doesn't she, Zhao Gui, have such skills?

On the surface, she is the eldest princess who doesn't care about court affairs. In secret, she earns money, collects food and grass, sends capable girls into the palace, and helps her become the fourth concubine. , she will not empty-handed.

But she would never force Lin Fan to make any decisions.

The road is Lin Fan's own.

Sitting on that chair, you must have enough determination, otherwise, you will be irresponsible to the world.

Zhao Li is sorry for the emperor, but he once had a firm pursuit of the dragon chair.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the eldest princess put down her pen, looked up at Lin Zhi who came in, and asked, "Send them away?"

"Yes." Lin Zhi smiled.

Knowing the princess' temperament, she would not say "what about Lin Fanruo", she only talked about Qin Luan.

"It really looks like Ah Jin." Lin Zhi sighed.

"It's as good-looking as Ajin," the eldest princess laughed, "I saw her last time, wearing a skirt and a snow-covered gown, which looks better than a Taoist robe. She is just like the old Ajin."

Lin Zhi smiled.

The eldest princess said again: "I don't know which one will count her fate. If it is really a phoenix..."

Lin Zhi blinked her eyes, took a step forward, and pouted at the eldest princess: "I like her."

The eldest princess wondered: "Did he tell you?"

"No," Lin Zhi said firmly, "I can see that he looked at A Jin's daughter in the same way that the former crown prince looked at A Yu."

Princess Pingyang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily again.

Yes.

If you like someone, you can't hide it.

Whether it is approaching cautiously or alienating coldly, the true feelings cannot be concealed, and anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance.

"That's great." The eldest princess sighed.

Ping An grows up, has someone he likes, knows his own path, and will definitely choose a path that he is willing to go on.

That's fine.

On the other side, Qin Luan and Lin Fan went outside the east wall of the Yongning Hou Mansion.

After leaving the princess mansion, neither of them said anything.

It's cold in the middle of the night, no matter how empty the street is, it's really not suitable to say so much.

Qin Luan didn't turn over the wall immediately.

It could be seen that Lin Fan was preoccupied.

It's reasonable, anyone who knows so many things in one night will be stunned.

"Master Guo." Qin Luan called out.

He wanted to say a few words of relief, but Qin Luan couldn't help changing his words when he saw Lin Fan's heavy gaze.

She knew his ups and downs, and wanted to sort it out for him. Even though she couldn't put herself in Lin Fan's difficulties, it was still okay to listen to him nagging.

After all, no one else can listen to Lin Fan about such a big event that cannot be publicized.

"Have a cup of tea." After speaking, before Lin Fan could answer, Qin Luan jumped up and disappeared behind the wall.

Looking at the high courtyard wall, Lin Fan's tense mind suddenly relaxed, and he burst out laughing.

He remembered that the last time she came to give Qin Luan a gift, she said the same thing.

At that time, it was obvious that he was unprepared for his sudden appearance. Qin Luan seemed calm, but in fact he was at a loss. His tone was full of hesitation. Lin Fan was not sure whether Qin Luan really wanted to invite him to tea, or just a polite .

Now, he can be sure that Qin Luan sincerely invites her.

They are familiar with a lot.

Although Qin Luan treated him differently from his selfishness, Lin Fan was still happy from the bottom of his heart.

After observing the left and right, Lin Fan jumped up lightly.

Inside the wall, Qin Luan was waiting for him.

In the East Garden, there was only a dim light, Qian'er came back first, and seeing Duke Ding coming with her own girl, she prepared tea without saying a word.

Qin Luan asked Lin Fan to sit down.

The hot water is boiled and poured into the tea leaves, the fragrance is refreshing.

"Everyone has their own ideas," Qin Luan glanced at the wooden gun on the table, and pushed a cup of tea to Lin Fan, "The first emperor, the first prince, the first prince, and my grandfather, the eldest princess, the township Jun, the same thing, they think about the same direction, but they are also different."

Lin Fan nodded.

It is said that those who do great things must "seek common ground while reserving differences" in order to have more strength to twist together and stride forward.

That's right, very wise.

However, in this matter, Lin Fan was not only the person carrying the rope, he was also the rope itself.

"You are a part of their thinking." Qin Luan said.

It was precisely this that caused Lin Fan's embarrassment.

Whether to live up to their expectations, what are his own expectations.

They all said to let Lin Fan choose, but can Lin Fan put aside their thoughts and only think about his own?

It was obviously very complicated, but Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckled lightly.

Someone can understand him, and this person is the girl he likes.

Even if there are difficulties ahead, people have countless confidence and courage.

Lin Fan took a sip of tea and asked, "What about you? You were born as a phoenix, what do you think?"

"I don't want to hide from the Duke," Qin Luan answered very frankly, "Before I returned to Beijing, I thought very simply, practiced seriously, and married His Highness the Second Highness as agreed. ', nothing more.

After retiring, I began to think, what should I do, and what can I do?
Master asked me to go down the mountain, saved Aunt Lan, and resigned from the marriage. I should think about which way to go after that. "
