Glory all the way

Chapter 73 Confession
The four walked forward side by side, and behind them, the servants and maidservants of the Eastern Palace scattered and followed them from a distance, forming a protective circle, surrounding the four of them in the center.

"Mei'er, I saw your favorite green calyx in front of me, let me take you to see it."

Turning around and patting Lin Zhiyu's shoulder, the prince had a slight smile in his eyes, and immediately turned his head to look at Lin Zhimei and said.

Lin Zhimei nodded, looked at Bai Yingluo apologetically, followed the prince with her head down.

Sure enough, Lin Zhimei didn't feel bored and wanted to take a walk, but asked her out specially for Lin Zhiyu.

The crown prince and Lin Zhiyu deliberately walked very fast, and after only a few steps, they could only vaguely see the sleeves of their clothes, and their figures were already covered by the shadowy plum trees.

Bai Yingluo lowered her head, and followed Lin Zhiyu one step behind. Her heart, which thought she was standing upright and not afraid of the shadow, suddenly started beating weakly.

Guessing what he wanted to say when he asked her to come here, and how she should respond, Bai Yingluo's mind was spinning rapidly. go up.

"Ah... I, I didn't mean to..."

A face instantly flushed with embarrassment, Bai Yingluo's eyes dodged and did not dare to look at Lin Zhiyu, but she scolded herself several times in her heart, while Lin Zhiyu looked at Bai Yingluo's appearance, but let out a muffled laugh .

Coughing lightly, Lin Zhiyu apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Seeing Bai Yingluo bowed her head and said nothing, Lin Zhiyu's expression was embarrassing, and she didn't know what to say, so she just took a step away and walked forward slowly, Bai Yingluo sighed secretly, and raised her heels to follow.

The two walked forward one after the other. After a long time, no one spoke. In the huge plum grove, there was only the sound of branches colliding with the breeze.

After all, Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but said, "Yingluo, these days, you are avoiding me on purpose, right?"

Since the second day of fighting Lin Zhimei Jiji, the Sixth Princess gave Bai Yingluo the mutton jade hairpin that Lin Zhiyu gave her but was rejected. Bai Yingluo avoided Lin Zhiyu intentionally or unintentionally. With rumors outside, Bai Yingluo didn't want to hear Lin Zhiyu's name even more.

If the two of them were really unclear about something, others would just say so, and Bai Yingluo would admit it.

But now it's like this, things that are obviously nothing, but people say it seems to be true that they have seen with their own eyes, even if Bai Yingluo lives another life, she can't help but not be angry.

Pausing in her tracks, Bai Yingluo raised her eyes and looked at Lin Zhiyu steadfastly, "Senior Lin, Yingluo can't bear your love, and I hope that your son will not look at Yingluo differently, just treat Yingluo as a stranger, okay? "

"Yingluo, you are..."

Just now her shy and embarrassing face was still in front of her eyes, but at this moment, she erected her body to resist like a hedgehog. Lin Zhiyu has always been praised for his eloquence, but at this moment he was blocked and could not speak a word .

There seemed to be a sigh of relief in his heart, and Lin Zhiyu's eyes were full of regretful self-blame, and for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Yingluo, I don't know what I did wrong to make you so disgusted, you just say it, I will pay more attention in the future, okay?"

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and Yingluo is ashamed."

Having made up her mind to keep a distance from him, and only get along with ordinary people who she has casual acquaintances in the future, Bai Yingluo bowed her knees and said politely.

Immediately, a touch of disappointment appeared on Lin Zhiyu's face.

"Men and women are different, and Yingluo is in such a situation. The distance between him and the prince is like heaven, earth, cloud and mud. It is Yingluo who has the cheek to say that she understands the heart of the prince, but it is only a joke, and let it go. Woman In this world, it is really not easy to make a living, and I hope that your son will be considerate and let Yingluo go, Yingluo is very grateful."

Bai Yingluo remembered that the Sixth Princess once said that Lin Zhiyu was a person with a clear distinction between love and hatred. When he was in a good temper, he was very talkative, but when he was in a bad mood, he was very easy to get angry. With a look of fear on her face, she told Bai Yingluo what she was taught by Lin Zhiyu when she was a child.

At this moment, from the corner of her eyes, she noticed that Lin Zhiyu's complexion was unkind, and Bai Yingluo straightened her complexion. She only hoped that the two of them could speak in a serious manner, so that they would not be embarrassed when they meet again in the future.

But after finishing speaking, seeing Lin Zhiyu looking at her with more pity, Bai Yingluo suddenly felt bad.

"Yingluo, I don't know what you think in your heart, but I really like you..."

His cheeks were warm. After Lin Zhiyu finished speaking, he turned his head awkwardly. Fortunately, there was no one around. The prince and Lin Zhimei had already gone to nowhere, and the servants and maidservants of the Eastern Palace were still away. It was so far away that no one heard it.

As for Bai Yingluo, she was too anxious to raise her head, and the two of them just stood stiff and straight, while the other shivered in embarrassment, revealing an indescribable amused look.

Lin Zhiyu recalled that for a while, his mother frequently ran to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and always had to chatter with his father for a long time when she came back.

Lin Zhiyu didn't bother to inquire about trivial matters about Zhang's parents and Li's family, but later, he learned from his ghostly sister that his mother had a crush on a girl, but that girl was from a bad background. There is no way to marry back home to be a daughter-in-law, and for a while she couldn't let go, and the mother planned to tell the girl to her concubine younger brother, but if this was the case, she felt wronged by the girl. Therefore, in those days, the mother did not Less repetition.

In the end, the matter was over.

Until the Dragon Boat Festival, when I went to Jing'an Hou's Mansion for a banquet, I met that white wreath with mud on the skirt and a flowerpot in her hand.

That day, when he was about to leave the mansion, his father Bei Ningbo reprimanded him, and Lin Zhiyu became a little angry. At the banquet, he met a few friends who were quite friendly in normal times, and he drank a few more glasses.

After resting in the wing room for a while, Lin Zhiyu felt stuffy in his heart, and after walking a few steps, he met Bai Yingluo.

Where was he? Lin Zhiyu was in a daze afterwards. He always thought that he was in a dream and met the maidservant who tended flowers and plants in the Heavenly Palace. Until one day, he found the familiar figure beside the sixth princess. .

It turned out that everything was not a dream.

Lin Zhiyu also met a lot of noble ladies in the capital. They were either dignified and old-fashioned like a woman, or unruly and self-willed like a girl. Only Bai Yingluo was frank and lovely.

After inquiring about her background, I realized that she was the poor orphan girl in Jing'an Hou Mansion.

However, a child who lost his parents since he was a child and grew up beside his uncles and aunts, shouldn't he be cautious in everything and look humble and shy?
But the girl he met had lively eyes and a coquettish smile. No matter how you looked at it, she didn't look like an orphan who was careful to make a living.

Curious in his heart, Lin Zhiyu paid extra attention, and later met Bai Yingluo through the sixth princess.

She has a gentle and cheerful temperament, and she speaks with a certain degree of advance and retreat. Her words are full of longing and hope for a better life in the future, and she does not feel sorry for her situation at all.

The more he knew, the more Lin Zhiyu felt pity for Bai Yingluo.

Even a young lady like Lin Zhimei, whose parents dote on her and protect her servants, still feels that she has been wronged from time to time, and whenever she sees her, she always has a smile on her face, as if Nothing unpleasant has ever happened to her.

Until later, when I saw her being squeezed out by Dou Xiuqiao and Sun Yantong, standing alone in the cold wind, after being silent for a long time, she turned around and walked towards Yunrou Hall lonely. At that moment, Lin Zhiyu's heart , it seemed that a corner had collapsed limply, making him impulsively wanting to protect her in his arms, so as not to be bullied again.

Unknowingly, that girl who was like a fairy among flowers occupied a corner in his heart, and would appear in front of his eyes when no one was around, making him a little hard to forget.

This is the so-called joy and liking, right?
Scenes of the past appeared in front of his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, seeing Bai Yingluo just staring at her toes without speaking, Lin Zhiyu sighed helplessly, "Yingluo, I know you are here What are you angry about? I also know that these are all caused by me, but please believe me and believe in my love for you, okay? As for what has happened, you just pretend that you have never heard of it, and everything is up to you. Let me handle it, okay?"

I thought that Lin Zhiyu, an intelligent person like Lin Zhiyu, would be able to understand what he said, but now it seems that he misunderstood it and thought he was complaining.

Bai Yingluo suddenly felt helpless, and when she said it again, she was quite merciless, "My son, Yingluo's words have been made very clear. The son is aloof, and he is a well-known young talent in the capital, and Yingluo, but She's just an orphan from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and she has no influence behind her, does it mean that the Crown Prince thinks that Yingluo can successfully marry into Beining Bo's Mansion and become the Crown Prince's concubine?"

Ever since Lin Zhiyu appeared, he seemed to have been in some unknown trouble.

First, Bai Yingyun came to teach herself a few times with arrogance, saying that people like the Beiningbo Mansion were not something she could climb up to, and she advised herself to rest her mind early and stop thinking about what she shouldn't have.

Then, Dou Xiuqiao and the others spread rumors like gossips, their words were vicious and unpleasant, even a bystander would find it difficult for Bai Yingluo to hear, let alone she was the one involved.

Thinking that because of Lin Zhiyu, she was put on all kinds of ugly hats such as "no shame", "disregarding shame", "immoral and hooking up with others", Bai Yingluo's heart became hard stand up.

"Yingluo, I'm sorry, but I really like you..."

Seeing that Bai Yingluo had returned to that little hedgehog full of resistance in an instant, Lin Zhiyu softened his voice and said, "Let me handle all of this, I promise, I won't let you fall into such an embarrassing situation , just please don’t reject me, don’t reject my heart, okay?”

At this moment, Lin Zhiyu was humbled like never before, but Du Xuan's appearance flashed in front of Bai Yingluo.

Hardening her heart, Bai Yingluo looked up at Lin Zhiyu and said, "My son, I'm sorry, Yingluo already has someone she likes, so Yingluo can't and won't like you."

For a moment, Lin Zhiyu looked unbelievably sad.

　It was scheduled at 15:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, but I didn’t release it, sweat. I was wrong, please forgive me!
