Ling Zhu returned to the palace happily with a jar of tea leaves. He lived in the east courtyard of the palace, very close to his elder brother Ling Cang, the fifth prince's son-in-law. Therefore, as soon as he walked into his small courtyard, Ling Cang stopped him.
"Where did you go?" Ling Cang had just finished practicing martial arts, and his body was still exuding heat. A few strands of hair on his forehead were dripping with sweat, but they couldn't hide his sharp eyebrows.
"I'm just walking around casually." When Ling Zhu saw this big brother, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Speaking of it, their palace has always been very low-key, and there are no scenes of the princess fighting with the concubine in the palace, which is very harmonious. However, as the eldest son, Ling Cang is really dignified among the brothers and sisters. Compared with the fifth prince who is their father, they are all more afraid of the eldest brother.
Ling Cang's sharp eyes fell on the jar in his hand. This jar is very ordinary, just an inconspicuous terracotta jar, but there is a unique flower painted on this dark jar, which looks like a woman objects. "What's this?"
Ling Zhu subconsciously picked up the pot in his hand, and said honestly: "It's just a little tea, which was given by a friend of mine. Do you want to try it?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Ling Zhu wished he could bite off his tongue. One of his big brother's hobbies in his life was drinking tea. If he said this, Ling Cang would definitely agree.
Sure enough, although Ling Cang raised his eyebrows, he still agreed.
Light a small mud stove, sit on it with mountain spring water, wait for it to boil, and then pour the boiling water on the tea leaves.
Curly water mist rose, Ling Cang picked up the kettle, pointed the spout to the teacup, and poured it.
When the first drop of hot water fell into the teacup, a green bamboo leaf tea stretched out, exuding a particularly quiet aroma.
Ling Cang's expression showed some interest, this kind of tea is really good.
"Who gave this to you? Which friend?" Ling Cang asked him after taking a sip of tea.
Ling Zhu never dared to lie to him, and told the truth honestly. At the end, he also emphasized: "Li Chanyi is a very poor and kind girl, there must be something inside her family, big brother, don't go casually scare her."
Ling Cang frowned, looked at the cup of tea in his hand, and said after a while: "You know how to repay your kindness, which is very good. However, she is a girl, and you are a man. If you don't intend to marry someone, try your best Don't stay too long with other people, so as not to damage their innocence."
Ling Zhu smiled bitterly, "Innocence is very important, but Li Chanyi only has me as a friend, and everyone else bullies her. If I don't help her, what will she do? She is a girl, and there are so many things happening at home. It is not easy to be able to live strong until now. A few days ago, her family medical books were robbed, and those people actually tricked her into begging and asked her to beg for food! Fortunately, she has figured it out now, if If I have the ability, I can help her get the medical books back."
As he spoke, Ling Zhu couldn't hold back his tears.
"I will investigate this matter." Ling Cang put down the teacup in his hand, "Bullying an orphan girl, this kind of thing can be done, heh."
"Brother? You want to help her?" Ling Zhu looked at him with wide eyes, a little in disbelief.
"Although father warned us to keep a low profile in everything, you don't need to be so cautious." Ling Cang got up and left such a sentence to Ling Zhu.
Ling Zhu stared blankly at the back of his elder brother, a little unresponsive.
