Jiaochu

Chapter 358 Sense of Presence

Ye Lingjue first looked away, his eyes falling on the hands that were clasping each other, "Why don't you wear the bracelet I gave you?"

"It's too expensive, and it's too ostentatious to wear." Ye Ling said sharply.

"Next time I'll give you something less ostentatious." Ye Lingjue said with a smile.

She said, "No need."

"Does Lingxi dislike the things I gave her so much?" He took a step closer, his deep voice carrying a dangerous aura in the dusk. She felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she took two steps back, and he came closer again. There seemed to be a bottomless whirlpool hidden in his eyes. Under the cover of twilight, he seemed to be a different person. He exuded a dangerous and seductive aura that was deadly and made people want to explore the hidden secrets.

"Second brother!"

He paused, his eyes lost the dangerous aura, regained his senses, and said in an apologetic and soft voice: "Go back, don't catch a cold." She immediately turned around and left, as if running away. He continued to stand in the pavilion and watched the dusk for a while, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips. It was really a shame.

When Dong Mo walked over, the entire pavilion was completely submerged in shadow, and the figures inside became blurry. The dusk was as cool as water and silent.

"Your Highness, the princess has left."

He walked out of the pavilion, his expression as cold as water, "Go back."

Dong Mo paused and hesitated, "Your Highness, the princess seems to have been scared away."

He didn't speak.

Dong Mo stopped talking.

After running out of the garden, Ye Lingxi continued to run forward, but Ling Dang couldn't catch up with him. He thought he had something urgent to do.

A figure walked out of the corner. It was too late for her to dodge, and she bumped into the other person's arms. She did not imagine the scene of the two of them falling to the ground together. She felt like she was being hugged by someone, and she was feeling depressed. An unknown fire jumped up, and without looking at who it was, he stepped on it. There was a light hiss above his head, and the other party retracted his hand.

"Who made the princess angry?"

She looked up and saw the face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The grievances in her heart were like exposed sesame fillings, flowing upstream smoothly and written all over her face. Yan Fei panicked and comforted him awkwardly, "It's okay. "Yes," before she could finish the next words, her chest sank, and he tightened his body unconsciously, motionless as if under a spell. She pressed her whole face against his chest, grabbing his clothes with both hands. , rubbing the back of his head, as if wiping his face.

Yanfei raised his hand, paused, and then patted her shoulder gently without asking anything.

"Princess? Princess?"

Ling Dang's anxious voice came from behind, and the two of them immediately separated, with two blushes on their faces. Ling Dang called Princess again, and Yan Fei left first. Ling Dang only saw his back when she hurried to the front. He is serious and upright and cannot be seen from the front.

"Princess, is that Young Master Yan?"

"Ah."

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

"That was from the setting sun, and you can see that your face is also glowing red."

Lingdang asked again: "Why did the princess run away just now, and the slave couldn't catch her?" She said she wanted to exercise, and Lingdang believed her.

……

In the following days, Ye Lingxi did not go out except for walking with her mother and concubine in the imperial garden to bask in the sun.

The days passed calmly, and there was no movement from Concubine Xiao, but she did not dare to take it lightly, and she would never be vague about anything suspicious.

That day, when Dr. Han came to ask for Ping'an pulse for her mother and concubine, she came a little late. She then asked the reason why Dr. Han was late, and she found out that it was because she was late in thinking about the prescription. It's a bit like the roar of the wind, the roar of the cranes, and the chaos of the grass and trees.

Concubine Lan also noticed it. After Imperial Physician Han left, Concubine Lan asked Zhuer and others to go down, and the mother and daughter talked alone.

Ye Lingxi also felt that she was a little nervous these days. As long as the little palace maids and eunuchs appeared near Weiyang Palace, she felt there was something wrong, and she felt that everyone had bad intentions.

In order to reassure her mother-in-law, she went to the imperial garden to pick flowers. She knew that her mother-in-law liked flowers with light fragrance. Two days ago, she heard that the lotus flowers in Taiye Pond were in bloom, so she thought about picking lotus flowers and bringing them back to her mother-in-law.

Before she saw Taiye Pond, she smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers. The wind carried the fragrance of flowers, which made them more elegant. When she walked over, she found that there were already little palace maids picking lotus flowers.

Several little maids gathered together and chatted and discussed happily.

When Ye Lingxi came over, she happened to hear a little palace maid praising Yan Fei, the youngest commander of the imperial army, for how impressive and young and promising she was. She coughed lightly, and the little palace maid blushed with shame. They all hurriedly bowed and left. .

When she went back with a basket full of lotus flowers, she happened to see Yan Fei passing by. She stopped him, walked over and gave him a lotus flower, and then left.

Yanfei looked at the unique lotus in his hand, a little confused.

Hehe and Lingdang also felt strange. Lingdang asked, "Why did the princess give Young Master a lotus flower?" She smiled and did not tell them the answer. She looked mysterious. In fact, she didn't know the answer in her heart. At that time, she saw I didn't think much about it, I just thought about doing something, and then I sent a flower out, which was a bit of a sense of presence.

It wasn't at all because of what the little palace maid said.

She thinks so herself.

"Princess, there are so many lotus flowers, let's save some to make lotus cakes." Lingdang said.

He He said: "The lotus cake is not made of lotus."

"It must be made of lotus flowers." Ling Ding said.

He He said: "Ask the princess if it is made of lotus flowers?"

Ye Lingxi was about to speak when she saw two people coming from the corner in front. She paused, then turned and walked away. Hehe and Lingdang hurriedly followed.

"What happened to Lingxi? Why did he leave when he saw us?" Ye Xingye was confused and had no idea what he had done wrong.

Ye Lingjue said: "Maybe he's still angry."

Ye Xingye was even more confused, "Who are you angry with? You can't be angry with me, right?" He immediately reflected on his recent actions. Before he could reflect for a second, Ye Lingjue revealed the answer, "Angry with me?" angry."

After knowing the answer to the riddle, Ye Xingye became even more confused, "Why is Lingxi angry with you, second brother?"

"I scared her." Ye Lingjue said.

Ye Xingye felt that this answer had nothing to do with the question.

"Let's go, my father is still waiting."

The two of them went to the royal study together.

Ye Xingye was pondering the meaning of the word "scared" along the way. Ye Lingjue's expression was indifferent, and there was an invisible sense of oppression. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Hehe and Lingdang couldn't ask questions here, because Ye Lingxi walked very fast and the two couldn't find any time to talk.
