Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 73

Qi Haoran specially illuminated it with a candle, and the shadow falling on the window paper was a sachet embroidered by Lin Yuan herself.It's just that this sachet is a little different from ordinary sachets. Lin Yuan made it into the shape of a horse, and filled the horse's belly with spices.

No one else would do such a weird thing, let alone take it out on purpose, so Lin Yuan just saw the shadow and knew that the person outside was Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran outside the window was dressed thickly, so Lin Yuan didn't worry about him freezing, let alone inviting him into the house.It's just that running here in the middle of the night and in the cold weather makes people curious.

Qi Haoran had already blown out the candles when Lin Yuan opened the window. On the night of New Year's Eve, the moon could not be seen at all, and the night became darker. Fortunately, the two were so close that they could not lose sight of each other. .

Seeing that Lin Yuan only put on a piece of clothing, he came over to open the window. Although it was only a short delay, Qi Haoran took off his cloak and leaned over to put it on for Lin Yuan.

The cloak with Qi Haoran's body temperature is very warm, and there is a faint scent like green pines and green cypresses, and the refreshing smell is delicious.

"Aren't you cold?" Lin Yuan asked Qi Haoran as she wrapped her cloak a little tighter.

Qi Haoran touched Lin Yuan's hand on the window sill, his hand was very warm, but Lin Yuan's hand felt a little cold.

Both hands were wrapped warmly by Qi Haoran's, Lin Yuan felt comfortable for a while, Qi Haoran smiled and said, "Your hands are really cold." The action of returning the cloak to him doesn't mind.

Letting him cover her hands, Lin Yuan smiled and asked again, "What's the matter? I ran here in the middle of the night, so I don't have to scare people."

"Come and see little Ayuan who is one year older." Qi Haoran said leisurely with a cheeky tone and unchanged tone.

Lin Yuan burst into a "puchi" laugh, looked at him left and right, and said solemnly, "I also look at Brother Qi who is one year older."

"I've seen it, how is it?"

"Well——" Lin Yuan took another look, blinked and said, "It's even more beautiful than before, I'm very happy."

Qi Haoran smiled happily, raised his hand and gently pinched Lin Yuan's cheek, and said softly, "There is still one year."

"Five months a year." Lin Yuan mercilessly added five more months.

Their wedding date was set in May of Lin Yuan and Ji's year, and the Lin family felt that this date was somewhat premature.

However, remembering that Qi Haoran was already 20 years old that year, he made a concession and agreed to this day.

According to Qi Haoran's thinking, it would be the best time to get married at the end of March next year, but he knew that it was too possible, so he had to postpone it until May.

Qi Haoran patted Lin Yuan's head lightly and said, "It's late, go to bed."

He leaned over to take his cloak from Lin Yuan's body again, and the two people who were already close would get even closer.

Taking advantage of the moment when he touched his cloak, Qi Haoran lowered his head slightly, and placed a soft kiss on Lin Yuan's forehead.

This was not enough, he moved closer to Lin Yuan's ear and said softly, "New Year's gift."

Qi Haoran's movements were too gentle, and his voice was also more indescribably magnetic. What lingered at the end of his nose was the faint smell of green pines and green cypresses on his cloak.

When he got closer to the ear, the warm breath gushed on the back of the ear and on the cheek, forming a sharper contrast with the cold wind blowing in from the window.

The two got so close, and Qi Haoran put his arms around her back again, it was no different from a hug.

Lin Yuan felt that her ears were burning up all of a sudden, it was very hot.

She looked up at Qi Haoran secretly, and before he took back the cloak, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the chin, with a shy smile, but pretended to be generous, and said, "Reciprocity is courteous."

Qi Haoran obviously didn't expect Lin Yuan to "sneak attack" him like this, he was a little stunned for a moment, then took back his cloak, and pinched Lin Yuan's cheek, his eyes and brows were full of joy.

"When you enter the palace tomorrow, remember to bring a maid who knows martial arts with you." Before leaving, Qi Haoran reminded Lin Yuan.

This was said by Qi Haoran at the end, and Lin Yuan classified it as an unimportant matter.Probably just worried about what happened to her, so I said this specifically, but it doesn't necessarily mean that something will happen.However, this can be regarded as a special way to wake her up.

In fact, although Lin Yuan did not enter the palace many times, she never dared to be careless every time.Even if Qi Haoran didn't remind her, she would never take it lightly.

The situation in the court changed again and again, and the situation in the harem would not be easy.If Her Highness the Queen can't sit still and can't move her aunt Hui Concubine, it is inevitable to start with other people who are related to her aunt.

It's just that Lin Yuan didn't know the Queen's prejudice against Zhu Bicong, otherwise she would have understood better that there really wasn't much suspense for this "other person" to fall on her.

The incident about An Suwei made a lot of noise earlier, and the news of Lin Yuan and Qi Haoran's engagement spread widely.

Originally, this wasn't something the empress would care about, so it's fine if you hear it, after all, even His Majesty the emperor has no objection.But she originally intended to let the prince Na'an Suwei, the general's daughter, be his side concubine, and such an incident happened before she had time to act.

An Suwei became a lunatic, and General An left the capital alone. Naturally, it was impossible to accept An Suwei as a side concubine.The queen's careful calculations suddenly came to naught, how could she be reconciled, and how could she not be complacent?

However, these things that have not been brought to the surface are matters in the harem, and Qi Haoran is not clear about them either.The reason why he reminded Lin Yuan was that he was afraid that she would encounter some troubles. He had the same idea as Lin Yuan, and he was prepared for any danger.

Lin Yuan didn't ask why, but just nodded, and answered Qi Haoran, "Okay."

Qi Haoran also nodded.

Lin Yuan took the cloak from him and helped him put it on, tied the ribbon for him, tied a beautiful loose knot, and straightened the clothes for him at last.

Qi Haoran reached out and touched Lin Yuan's head again, and urged her to rest.

After Lin Yuan closed the window, Qi Haoran finally left the Lin residence.

On the first night of the new year, Lin Yuan slept quite comfortably and sweetly.

When she awoke, the sky was already bright.

It just so happened that Bi Yi opened the curtain outside and came in to see if her lady was awake. Seeing that Lin Yuan had sat up on the bed, she asked with a smile, "Miss is awake, do you want to get up? I have to enter the palace today. Miss now Get up at this hour and have some breakfast, I think it's just right to go out with my wife."

Lin Yuan nodded, and Bi Yi led a group of little maids in to help Lin Yuan wash and change her clothes.

After breakfast, Lin Yuan went to pay her respects to her mother, and helped her change her clothes before heading to the palace.Lin Yuan asked Qingping and Qinglian to go out with her. When entering the palace, each person could only bring one maid, who was kissing her and her mother, and could bring both Qingping and Qinglian with her.

It was the first time for Lin Yuan to meet the sixth concubine, the daughter of a general surnamed Huang whose father and brother both died in battle.She is about nineteen years old, with a heroic look in her eyebrows and a hint of tenacity.Presumably the Sixth Prince treated her well, her improvement seemed to be very good, and she seemed to be a person with a smooth life.

The sixth prince specifically asked His Majesty the emperor for the marriage grant. It is conceivable that it was not for the purpose of marrying Miss Huang into the family and treating him badly. It had nothing to do with whether he liked it or not.Not to mention the royal family, even the rich and powerful, it is rare to spread such words as "abuse your wife and daughter-in-law harshly". Gein really can't afford to lose this person.

Qi Yingyu and Du Ruojin were all present at the banquet, as well as many other housekeepers with familiar faces, but Lin Yuan just bowed her head and remained silent.She wasn't the only one, most of the young ladies were very quiet, and no one dared to make any mistakes in front of His Royal Highness the Queen.

The court lady stepped forward to refill tea for everyone, and naturally Lin Yuan also had a court lady to refill tea for her.The court lady didn't know if she was unsteady or something, the tea was very hot, and the cup fell over, accidentally splashed Lin Yuan all over her body, and even burned the back of one of her hands red.After a while, there was a burst of pain on the back of her hand, Lin Yuan frowned slightly, and the maid had already knelt down to plead guilty.

This kind of movement naturally alarmed the queen in the first place. She asked the female officer next to her in a low voice, and after learning what happened, she raised her voice and ordered the maid to lead Lin Yuan to clean up elsewhere, and said that the maid had neglected her duty and wanted to take care of her. Hit the board.On the first day of the new year, something happened in the palace because of her, which was definitely not a good thing for her.

After the queen's words fell, Lin Yuan hurriedly left the meeting, knelt down to thank her, and said, "If someone is punished on the first day of the new year because of such a trivial matter as a court lady, it will damage the virtue of the queen. I think this court lady is just It’s just careless, please ask Her Highness the Queen to appease her anger and let her go.”

"Miss Lin is so knowledgeable, I am very relieved. Anyway, since you have personally interceded and spared her this whole meal, I will fine you a month's salary."

Lin Yuan was busy and thanked.

The court lady thanked the queen for her kindness even more fearfully, and thanked Lin Yuan again.

Lin Yuan smiled, and after comforting her mother, she followed the female officer sent by the queen to the side hall to tidy up, with a Qingping behind her.

Originally, I thought that the clothes were not very soaked, but I didn't expect that the hem of the skirt was actually wet.

The female officer glanced at it and said, "Miss's clothes are so wet, it's better to change them earlier. It's winter, so I don't have to suffer from the cold. The servant girl went to bring the changed clothes to the young lady, but It's not good to wear these wet clothes. Fortunately, the brazier in the hall is burning hot, so it's okay to take off the outer clothes for a while, and it won't be cold."

Does this mean that she should take off her clothes now?
Lin Yuan changed her mind, and said with a smile, "Auntie is right, if you get cold and get sick because of this, it won't be beautiful." They took off their outer clothes while they waited.
