Jiaochu

Ye Lingxi looked at the two of them. Although she hoped in her heart that the two of them could get together, she couldn't feel the joy on their faces. On the contrary, they were a little depressed. She couldn't help but want to speak, but Xiao Anzi reminded her in a low voice, "Princess, don't be impulsive. Resistance is a serious crime. With so many people watching, princess must not let the emperor lose face."

Su Shangshu took Mrs. Su and Su Wan to thank him. Ye Qingran stood there and opened his lips. Eunuch De diligently reminded him to thank him quickly. He slightly opened his lips and looked slightly sideways in one direction, but nothing happened. Without saying anything, he knelt down and kowtowed: "My dearest minister, I thank you for your kindness."

Ye Lingjue came over to congratulate, and Ye Xingye also came over to congratulate.

Some discerning ministers also came to congratulate him.

Ye Lingxi turned her head away, not wanting to see this happy scene. Listening to those congratulatory voices, she felt a little harsh.

"Second brother, is the eldest sister going to marry your highness?" Su Yu asked excitedly.

Su Shi nodded.

……

The queen asked Ye Qingran to take Su Wan for a walk on the street, hoping that the two of them could get to know each other better. After they got to the street, they walked together for a while and then separated.

"Master, come and take a look. I personally dug these peonies from the mountains. They are definitely no worse than those in the palace."

Ye Qingran stopped and the vendor warmly invited him to come over and take a look, but a girl came instead.

"Although the peonies in the palace are beautiful, they are not as good as growing in the mountains and living freely."

Ye Qingran turned her eyes slightly and walked away.

"I want this pot of peonies."

"Girl, you have good taste. This one is the best among them."

……

The lake in the distance is sparkling, and bright and bright peony boats are slowly shuttled on the lake, with music and colorful ribbons fluttering.

Ye Lingxi sat on the shore and looked at the slowly rowing flower boat in front of her. She hugged her knees with her hands and buried most of her face in her arms. Only her eyes were exposed, which looked a little dim.

There was a slight movement of clothes rubbing next to her. She turned her head and looked. Yan Fei sat down next to her and quietly watched the flower boat with her.

"Eldest brother and Sister Su... in the future...?"

Yan Fei shook his head, "I don't know." Ye Lingxi buried her head lower, turned her head and glanced, raised his hand to pat her head gently, and paused after placing his hand above her head. I patted it gently, very lightly, not even bending the hair.

Someone came up from behind.

Yanfei stood up and bowed. Dong Mo came over and asked him to come over. Ye Lingjue said that someone was making trouble in Dongshi and asked him to go over and have a look. Yan Fei looked back and looked at the other person's back with his head buried in his head. He felt uneasy about leaving.

"Is it no use what I say?" Ye Lingjue's tone was slightly cold.

Yan Fei frowned slightly, knowing that he could not do the same thing, but he was not willing to leave just like that, as if he had given up.

"Your Highness will take care of the princess. Master Xiao Yan, please come over quickly." Dong Mo made a gesture of invitation. Yan Fei looked back at Ye Lingxi and followed Dong Mo away.

When Ye Lingjue came over, she turned her gaze slightly, stood up and left, with a somewhat indifferent expression. Ye Lingjue followed, but Ye Lingxi stopped and said with restraint of emotion: "Second brother, don't follow me." Her voice seemed a bit cold. Somewhat cold and distant.

Ye Lingjue stopped behind him and said nothing.

She continued to walk forward, and he continued to follow behind. She walked forward faster, as if to leave all the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart behind.

She stepped on a small stone or tripped over a branch. She suddenly fell to the ground. A hand reached out to help her, but she opened it. A surge of anger surged into her heart. She grabbed a branch from the ground. He threw it hard at Ye Lingjue, throwing a temper tantrum like an unreasonable child. What he said was inconsistent with the preface and the follower, and the logic was confusing, "Second brother, please be happy, they are all liars!" Thinking of the happy scene just now, Those congratulatory voices were as harsh as lies, and her heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone, which made her feel so uncomfortable. She blamed Concubine Xiao for taking matters into her own hands, her second brother for congratulating her like a normal person, and her father. The emperor proposed marriage without knowing anything. It was strange that no one present asked her if her eldest brother was willing...

But she was even more to blame for being a coward, never standing up to say a word for her elder brother from beginning to end. When Xiao Anzi finished speaking those words to her, she was afraid and flinched. She is a coward. She is not afraid of anything anymore. In fact, she is still selfishly hiding in a safe shell. Except for her mother and concubine, she may not be able to risk her life to protect others. It is more about compromise and concession after weighing the pros and cons. I thought I was honest enough, but in fact I was just wrapped in a beautiful shell, and I didn’t want the thorn inside to be discovered.

Ye Lingjue did not avoid the branch. He stretched out his hand and patted her head a few times to calm her down and said, "It may not be a bad thing for Miss Su to marry the eldest brother. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" , the two of them may not be able to bring the case together."

After hearing these words, Ye Lingxi really thought a little bit more.

After a while, Ye Lingjue asked, "Have you calmed down?"

She turned away and said nothing.

Ye Lingjue asked again, "Should you get up by yourself or should I hold you up?"

She got up, patted her clothes, and walked forward: "Second brother, please stop following me. I'm fine." Ye Lingjue followed behind and said, "I want to go shopping there too."

A graceful and slender figure stood next to a flower stall not far away, watching the two people walking along the shore one after another.

"What's the use of hiding here and peeking? Your Highness doesn't know." Luo Jinxiu came over and said.

Yan Chuchu lowered her head shyly and explained, "I didn't peek," Luo Jinxiu interrupted, "The Second Highness won't like you when the third princess is here." Then she whispered, "Last time, my mother and I went into the palace to give the third princess To celebrate your birthday, she admitted that she despised you in front of me, and threatened me not to tell anyone. She even pinched my arms blue. She said that you were a concubine’s daughter and not worthy of His Highness, so she told you to die as soon as possible. This heart.”

Ye Lingxi didn't know that he had another scapegoat on his head.

Yan Chuchu tightened her handkerchief and looked embarrassed. She probably believed it, "Third Princess...really said that...?" Luo Jinxiu sneered like she had succeeded in her conspiracy, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. If I were you, I wouldn't act like a fool. I was fooled around." After saying that, he left, leaving Yan Chuchu with his own random thoughts.

"Miss, don't you think that's Miss Yan?" Hu Qian'er glanced over there and happened to see the back of Luo Jinxiu leaving. Seeing that the two of them were getting together again, she felt very angry. She wanted to see her right away. Not seeing Wei Jing, but seeing Yan Chuchu's dejected look, she asked her maid to stay and went to take a look alone.
