Jiaochu

Chapter 506 Treat
The wedding was scheduled for the beginning of next month. Murong Ze first sent his father's coffin back to the north, and then came to welcome the bride. Before leaving, he asked Jingzhe to send a token to Changxin Palace, and also asked Jingzhe to bring two words. One was to ask her to take good care of herself, and the other was to hope that she would not run away from the marriage.

I wonder if it was because of the second reason that Jingzhe was left behind.

Lingdang didn't have a good look on Jingzhe, thinking that Murongze was a third party, who broke up Ye Lingxi and Yanfei, and couldn't beat him, so she could only glare at him quietly.

Early this morning, before the sun had risen, Ye Lingxi went out alone and did not let Hehe and Lingdang follow. They were worried and followed quietly from a distance, not wanting to turn around a fork in the road and the person would disappear. The two of them split up to look for it. Lingdang happened to meet Jingzhe on the road she was looking for. He asked her why she was staring at him. Lingdang denied that she didn't. She wanted to leave but was stopped by him again. She went to the left, and he blocked the left. She went to the right, and he blocked the right. Turning around and walking back, he stopped in front of her with a backflip.

Lingdang was furious and vented all her dissatisfaction, saying that Murong Ze had bad intentions in beating the mandarin ducks. After hearing this, Jingzhe turned around and walked away without saying a word. When the person disappeared, Lingdang muttered angrily about wooden stakes, stepped on the ground twice more before calming down, and continued to look for people.

……

The sycamore leaves in the yard have turned green and yellow, and some have fallen to the ground, covering them lightly. The study behind the tree is locked and has not been opened for a long time.

Ye Lingxi walked in slowly, stood under the tree and looked at the study room in front of her, recalling the days when we studied together, throwing paper dumplings, raising hands to report, standing in the penalty area, beating hands, eating at the same table, and finishing school together... A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously. As she thought about it, her nose felt sore. She looked up at the layers of leaves and suddenly caught a glimpse of something. If she looked closely, it looked like a person hiding in the tree.

She picked up a small stone and threw it towards the mass, and a hand stretched out from the sycamore leaves to catch it.

"I heard that the princess is getting married."

The voice sounded familiar to her, so she asked again, "Are you here specifically to congratulate me?" The person on the tree replied, "Princess, please." A box was thrown over, and Ye Lingxi just caught it and opened it to see inside. It was a pen. The man on the tree said, "If the princess wants to divorce her husband in the future, she will definitely need this thing." Listening to the slightly sarcastic tone, she suddenly thought of a person and asked tentatively, "Yes Brother Hu?" The sycamore leaf stretched out a hand and waved to her, and the figure on the tree flashed and disappeared.

She looked at the pen in the box, with a smile on her face. She saw the sycamore leaf on the ground, and her mind moved. She knelt down, picked up one and put it in the box, closed the lid, picked up another sycamore leaf, and held it gently in her hand. Turning gently, the turning leaves were like a butterfly flapping its wings on her fingertips, and her thoughts were also swaying. She didn't notice anyone walking in at all.

When she stood up, she caught a glimpse of a figure behind her. After a closer look, she looked slightly surprised and slightly happy. She greeted her in a relaxed tone. However, Su Shi looked a little worried and asked, "Princess, you have really thought about it." ?" She turned the leaves in her hands, raised them above her head, and peered into the sunlight through the veins of the leaves, and said, "The book says that one leaf can blind the eyes, and one leaf can tell the autumn. Which one is right?" She lifted the leaves. After handing it to Su Shi for him to read, he turned his eyes back to the study in front. He thought of the scene when he first came here. It was early summer, the cicadas were chirping on the trees, and the three puppies were playing in the study. He couldn't help but smile. A smile.

Su Shi's eyes also moved from the leaves to the locked study. Thinking of the previous scene when he was studying, his gentle expression showed a trace of imperceptible sadness and loneliness.

"I don't know when I will come back next time. I heard that it is very cold in the north. It starts to snow in July and August. It should be snowing by this time." She said in a pretending relaxed tone. She stretched out her hand to catch an empty snowflake, then retracted her hand, turned around and asked Su Shi if she had anything to do tomorrow, and if she wanted to invite him to dinner, she would treat it as an early farewell for her, and Su Shi agreed.

……

After going to court the next day, Xiao Anzi came over and sent a message to Su Shi, and said with emotion, "I thought that the princess could marry a man of her dreams, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't help but make the decision herself. In this palace, whether it is the prince or the princess, It was all out of his control." Su Shi's expression dimmed slightly, with a kind of rational restraint in his gentleness, and he said goodbye to Xiao Anzi without making any comments.

When the sun was about to set, Su Shi was about to go out. Su Yu happened to come over to him. He heard that he was going out and asked him where he was going. He said that he was going to see a friend. Su Yu felt that something was fishy and did not continue to ask, but followed him quietly. , followed him all the way to the vicinity of Jufu Tower, and when she saw the person picking him up at the door, she frowned, clenched her fists, and looked furious.

Bell led Su Shi upstairs and into a box on the right. In addition to Ye Lingxi, there were two other people sitting inside, Ye Qingran and Ye Xingye, and a waiter was waiting beside them.

After everyone arrived, Ye Lingxi asked the waiter what dishes were available in the store. The waiter had just reported the names of two dishes when there was a noise outside the door. Ye Lingxi asked Lingdang to go and see what was going on. Soon Lingdang came back. It was reported that Su Yu was here and clamoring to see her. Su Shi looked a little surprised and a little embarrassed. Ye Lingxi asked the waiter to go down first, and then asked Ling Dang to invite the people in.

Su Yu strode in, not caring about the other people in the room, and walked straight to Ye Lingxi. With a menacing look on her face, she asked her why she was in two boats, getting close to Yan Fei and hooking up with Murong Ze at the same time. Su Yu Shi interrupted her with a stern expression. Seeing that he was really angry, Su Yu felt a little scared and refused to give in easily. She turned her head and said nothing with a sullen face.

"You little girl, why are you talking so arrogantly? What does it mean to have two boats? If the prince hadn't said those nonsense in front of the civil and military officials of the court, what you have been admiring for a long time, and what you said you don't want to regret for the rest of your life, it's all rhetoric and nonsense. !" Ye Xingye picked up the wine glass angrily, drank it in one gulp, and banged the table again, which startled Su Yu and quickly hid behind Su Shi. Ye Lingxi pretended to be angry and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Is the third brother going crazy with alcohol?" Ye Xingye smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head to relieve the embarrassment.

"Sister Yu'er, let's eat first. I'll treat you to this meal. Just order whatever you want, but I won't have the chance to treat you in the future." Ye Lingxi asked Lingdang to call the waiter in. The waiter was about to continue naming the dishes. Su Yu He interrupted the waiter and ordered the eight most expensive dishes very skillfully. Ye Lingxi added another dish of steamed cheese with sugar. Ye Qingran and Su Shi didn't add anything else. Ye Xingye liked the roast goose here and also added another dish. , just enough to make up ten of them.

After all the dishes were served, Su Yu saw that Ye Lingxi was eating well, as if she had a good appetite, and felt angry at the same time. "Brother Yan, I don't know what's going on now, but you can still eat it," she said carelessly. With the breathless feeling in his throat and not daring to say it in front of Su Shi and Ye Xingye, Ye Lingxi put another meatball into the bowl, "If you don't eat it now, you might not have the chance to eat it in the future." Su Yu was angry. Bored, she put two meatballs into her bowl, and accidentally met Ye Qingran's gaze. Just a glance, that clear and deep gaze seemed to be bottomless, so awe-inspiring that she shuddered suddenly and buried her head. While eating, I didn’t dare to look over there anymore.

Ye Lingxi stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the food, and Su Yu was not to be outdone. The two of them seemed to be competing. However, within a quarter of an hour, Su Yu was defeated and couldn't eat anymore. Seeing that Ye Lingxi was still eating, she couldn't help but wonder about her. How big the food was, and he glanced at her slender wrists when she stretched out her chopsticks, and secretly cursed.

Ye Xingye was also a little dumbfounded, wondering if the little imperial sister could actually be so edible.

But Ye Qingran and Su Shi had already noticed something was wrong with her. When she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the food, she was blocked by Ye Qingran. He said, "That's enough. It's no joke to burst your stomach." "Yes." She slowly put down her chopsticks, lowered her head and said nothing. The private room fell into a suppressed silence, and the lively sounds on the street came from outside the window, making the window even more deserted.

"I wonder if there will be a lantern festival tonight, why don't we go to the street and have a look." Ye Xingye said, breaking the silence.

Su Yu also said to go take a look, but couldn't stand the silent atmosphere.

Ye Lingxi raised her head, showed a smile, and said yes with a smile. This time, the two of them also felt that something was wrong with her. They felt that the smile was more uncomfortable than crying.
