Chapter 117 Birthday Celebrations Upstairs ([-])
Ye Lingxi clenched her fists tightly, her expression became serious again, her eyes were cold, she was completely different from usual, making it difficult for people to get close to her.

"Lingxi, are you... okay? Did you remember something?" Facing that serious face, Ye Xingye's tone became a little more cautious.

Ye Lingxi shook his head slowly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's nothing, maybe I remembered it wrong." Ye Xingye didn't know what he remembered wrongly, and he was a little confused about the little princess's uncertain attitude. After a second thought, I thought that it was probably the sequelae of excessive shock. The confusion in my heart suddenly turned into sympathy, and I tried my best to comfort him.

Yan Fei could tell that she was probably thinking of someone but didn't want to say it for some reason. He had also experienced this kind of contradictory psychology, so he didn't ask further questions and said in a concise and soothing tone, "You Don’t think so much now, the emperor has already asked people to investigate the matter, and things will eventually come to light.”

Ye Lingxi nodded and said yes. She had no evidence on hand now. No matter how much she thought about it, it was just a guess. Except for Concubine Xiao, the suspicion of other people could not be completely ruled out. The key was the motive, whether it was jealousy between women or something else. When the plot came to mind, Zhu'er came over and said that Mrs. Pingyang Hou was here. Yan Fei glanced outside the door. Zhao Ce walked in with his head in the air. After seeing Ye Lingxi, he looked at her from head to toe, but he didn't have any suspicion. He glanced at Yan Fei kindly, as if he was still worried about Ye Lingxi holding him in his arms last night.

"The madam came here specially to visit the princess. The queen asked the slave to call the princess over." "Brother Yan, I'll go over first. Don't leave yet. I'll be back soon." "Yes." "Third brother, you Come here, I have something to tell you."

Ye Lingxi led Ye Xingye to the other side to whisper. Zhao Ce curiously poked his head in the direction of the two of them. Seeing Yan Fei walk over and sit down, he walked over and sat on the stool not to be outdone. There was a cup of tea in front of Fei, and he wanted tea too. Lingdang immediately went to pour a cup of tea and brought it over to him.Zhao Ce picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, only then was he satisfied.Yanfei didn't bother to look at him, and was thinking about something by himself.

On the other side, Ye Lingxi asked quietly: "Third brother, are you still learning falconry from Commander Wu?"

"I haven't learned it yet." Ye Xingye touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Practice makes perfect, you can definitely learn it." Ye Lingxi encouraged, and then asked, "When will Commander Wu teach Third Brother, I will go there too."

Ye Xingye said: "I'll ask later. Commander Wu seems to be very busy recently. The last time he taught me was five or six days ago, and he left early in the middle."

By the time Zhu'er led Ye Lingxi and Zhao Ce over, Mrs. Cui had already been talking to Concubine Lan for a while.Seeing Ye Lingxi, Ms. Cui looked at Ye Lingxi with a smile, and then said to Concubine Lan, "Yesterday was really thrilling. Fortunately, the princess was okay in the end. But Ce'er, the child, has been thinking about entering the palace since he came home yesterday. Come to see the princess, I woke up this morning still thinking about it.”

"Where can I find it?" Zhao Ce muttered with a blush on his face. He glanced at Ye Lingxi quietly and quickly took it back.

Concubine Lan smiled warmly and said lovingly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. In the future, Lingxi will be studying in the Master's Study Room, and I will ask Your Majesty to take more care of you."

Zhao Ce secretly glanced at Ye Lingxi again, and assured with dignity: "With me here, no one dares to bully the princess."

Ye Lingxi: "..." No one would dare to bully me if you weren't here.

After talking for a while, Ms. Cui took Zhao Ce and prepared to leave. Zhao Ce was so nervous that he couldn't move and almost had the words "I don't want to leave" carved on his forehead.

"Brother Prince, please go back first. I'm fine." Ye Lingxi said in a coaxing tone, even though she was a child herself.Zhao Ce glanced in the direction of Ye Lingxi's house. He was worried about Yan Fei staying. He felt like he was defeated by leaving like this, and he was very unwilling to do so.

"Cer, it's time to go back." Ms. Cui said in a slightly dignified voice. Zhao Ce reluctantly followed behind him. After taking two steps, he glanced back and finally moved out. courtyard.

By the time Ye Lingxi returned to his room, it was already a cup of tea later.Yanfei was the only one left in the room, still sitting on the stool and meditating on something. When he heard the movement from the door, he raised his eyes and looked outside, then got up and walked over.Yan Fei originally thought that the other party left him because he had something to discuss with him, but after Ye Lingxi came back, he just stared at him and didn't say anything, as if he hadn't taken a good look at that cold-featured face before. The face is average.

After being stared at for a while, Yan Fei turned his face slightly to one side and asked unnaturally, "What's wrong?"

Ye Lingxi smiled at him and said, "I think Brother Yan is very good-looking. I can't get enough of him."

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, then blushed. He opened his lips slightly to say something and then turned his face away. He made a fist and lightly covered his lips and chin. His eyelashes were slightly drooped, and his dark pupils seemed to be dizzy. Soft starlight.After a few seconds, he turned his gaze slightly to the side, his eyelashes still slightly drooped, and suddenly asked, "What if I don't look good?"

"Brother Yan, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?" Ye Lingxi asked, tilting his head.

Yan Fei said two words firmly, "The truth." His eyes were like a flash of lightning in the dark night, he would rather shine on the muddy ground than hide in the darkness and whitewash the peace.

"The truth is," Ye Lingxi reached out to take Yan Fei's hand and held it with both hands. He looked up into those eyes as bright as lightning and said seriously every word, "No matter what. No matter what Brother Yan becomes, I will never let go of this hand." As she spoke, she tightened her fleshy palms.

Yan Fei also raised his other hand to cover Ye Lingxi's small hand, and teased with a smile on his lips: "Princess, please stop tying me with a rope, so I can't run away." "Don't tie Yan with a rope." Brother can't run away." Ye Lingxi looked confident as if he had grabbed the opponent's pigtails. He rubbed Yan Fei's slightly rough palm with his fleshy palm and then looked at his hand carefully, because he had practiced martial arts for a long time. Because the tiger's mouth has already formed a thin layer of callus, the fingers are slender and well-proportioned, and they look very powerful.

"Brother Yan, I heard that this is the marriage line," Ye Lingxi gently traced the lines on Yan Fei's palm with his fingers, "Brother Yan's marriage line is very long, and he will definitely grow old with the person he likes."

Yan Fei looked at the marriage line in his palm, then glanced at the person in front of him, clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then changed the subject and asked, "Is there someone suspicious in the princess's mind?"

Ye Lingxi nodded and said in a sincere tone: "But I can't tell Brother Yan yet."

"Do you want my help?" Yan Fei asked. Seeing Ye Lingxi's thoughtful look, he added, "You don't have to think about it. I can still help investigate matters outside the palace, but I can't get involved in matters inside the palace." , the emperor has ordered a strict investigation, and there should be clues soon."
