Due to preparations for the prince’s wedding, this year’s summer trip to the palace was cancelled. Lin Feilu couldn't stand the heat. He heard that there was a manor outside the palace that was used to escape the summer heat. It was only open to high-ranking officials, so he often slipped out to play and stayed there for a day.
The summer resort is called Ziyulin. The floor is paved with jade and the courtyard is full of purple bamboos. It is very luxurious. Lin Feilu went there a few times and discovered that the cold air was radiating from under the jade ground. After inquiring about it, I realized that the entire courtyard was built on an ice cellar, similar to the principle of floor heating, so it's no wonder it's so cool.
Lin Feilu had only one thought after hearing this: Ancient rich people really did what they wanted.
At first, the owner didn't know her identity, and only thought it was the daughter of a wealthy family. Although she was politely entertained, she was not overly concerned. Until one time Lin Feilu ran into Ran Ye, the son of the Imperial Palace who was also here to escape the heat.
Na Ran Ye had also studied in Taixue for a period of time, so naturally he knew the five princesses and saluted her, and the group of brothers and buddies who followed Ran Ye all saluted. Since then, the owner of the garden knew that the lady who came frequently was actually a royal princess, and quickly made the best room in the garden dedicated to the princess and respectfully waited on her.
Ran Ye knew that the five princesses often came here to escape the heat, and every time they came to Ziyulin, they would first come to ask for gifts. Lin Feilu was idle alone, and sometimes Ran Ye asked her if she wanted to throw dice and pot together, and she would also participate.
On this day, she had just come to Zizhulin and ate a bunch of ice grapes when she sat down, and then came the voice of Ran Ye smiling and groaning outside: "Fifth princesses, they got a parrot some time ago, they can mouth more than ten kinds. Would you like to come over and see something new?"
Lin Feilu said, "All right."
She just got up slowly, holding the fruit plate in her hand, planning to pass by while eating and watching. Then she heard a scream outside, and then Ran Ye's screams came out.
Lin Feilu was taken aback, quickly took a few steps and opened Yumen.
There was a patio outside, and a white jade screen was erected in the middle of the patio, but at this time the screen had fallen to the ground and fell to pieces. Ran Ye was lying on the broken jade, holding his head and screaming. The person standing in front of him was dressed in black, with black hair high, and was beating him with his fists.
Lin Feilu didn't recognize the figure, and said sharply, "Stop!"
Ran Ye heard her voice suddenly yelled: "Princess, help me! Ah-"
The man didn't stop because of Lin Feilu's words, but beat him even harder.
Lin Feilu put the fruit bowl on the ground, and rushed over to pull the person away. He rushed to the front, and when he saw the side face of the assailant, he was shocked: "Xi Xingjiang?! Why are you?!"
Ran Ye was picked up from behind and fell into the courtyard. He didn't see who was hitting the person. At this time, he heard the words "Xi Xingjiang", and the scream was immediately stuck in his throat. He pressed his lips tightly and screamed. Don't dare to call.
Xi Xingjiang grabbed him by the collar and lifted the person up, but turned his head to look towards Lin Feilu, laughing: "Little Douding, long time no see."
Lin Feilu was speechless: "When did you return to Beijing? Why did you beat people!"
Xi Xingjiang still looked like a hippie smiling face: "Just arrived last night."
Ran Ye trembled under his hands, and Lin Feilu couldn't stand it anymore: "You let the person go first, what are you doing when you beat him?"
Xi Xingjiang lowered his head to look at Ran Ye who was bruised and swollen by the beat, and sneered, raised his hand and patted his face: "Only you, want the toad to eat swan meat?"
Ran Ye's pupils dilated for a moment, and then he looked away with a guilty conscience.
Xi Xingjiang put him on the ground fiercely, stood up and brushed his fingers, and looked at him condescendingly: "How far and how far away, let me see you..."
Before he finished speaking, Ran Ye got up and ran away in a hurry.
Lin Feilu felt a headache, Xi Xingjiang approached her hippiely, looked at her up and down, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you still so short?"
Lin Feilu: "???"
She jumped: "I have grown taller!!!"
Xi Xingjiang copied his hands: "But I think you still have the same angle as before."
Lin Feilu was so angry that he wanted to step on his foot: "That's because you have grown taller, bastard!!!"
He sneered, and when she didn't react, he quickly reached out and touched her head quickly. After touching it, he said with regret: "Without a small tugging, the hand feels bad."
Lin Feilu opened his hand with a snap and pointed at the jade that was shattered all over the floor: "You pay for these!"
Xi Xingjiang is a fool: "If I pay, I will pay, I have money."
Lin Feilu was heartbroken: "Why did you go to the frontiers for three years and still be like this!"
He whistled, walked to the doorstep and sat down, picked up the plate of fruit she had placed on the ground, and threw a few grapes in his mouth: "Which look? Do you think your brother is as handsome as ever? "
Lin Feilu: "..."
I didn't see any improvement, but my face became thicker and thicker.
Zi Yulin's manager arrived late and ruined his small courtyard. Lin Feilu was embarrassed, but the manager repeatedly said that it was okay and there was no need to pay. The princess arrived to make them splendid, Xiao Xiaoyuping is not worth mentioning!
These people blame it for doing business.
Soon someone came over to clean up all the broken jade, and changed her to a small courtyard, saying that it would reinstall it immediately, and she could use it next time she came over.
Lin Feilu sent away the steward, and when he entered, he saw Xi Xingjiang lying on the ground with a pillow in one hand, with Erlang's legs tilted, with the other hand throwing grapes in the air, and then picking it up with his mouth.
Seeing her coming in, she squinted for a moment: "From this angle, it seems to have grown a lot taller."
Lin Feilu sat across from him, "When will you return to the frontier?"
"Isn't it?!" He sat up and wanted to pat her on the head. "You just wanted me to leave when I came back?"
Lin Feilu quickly dodges his eyes: "Do you also know that you just came back? You just came back and beat people."
Xi Xingjiang lay back again: "Who told him to owe a fight, next time I see him, he will fight again."
He ate a bunch of grapes, leaned sideways, held his temples with his hands, and turned into the posture of a noble concubine lying down, with the charm of a romantic boy, winked and asked her: "Little Dou Ding, I gave you this before I leave. Is that jade pendant still there?"
Lin Feilu poured himself a cup of iced tea, and said blankly, "It's gone."
Xi Xingjiang was anxious, and sat up quickly, "Why is it gone?! Isn't it for you to keep it safe?!"
Lin Feilu said: "If you tell me to take good care of it, I must take good care of it? I have so many jade pendants, and I don't lack you."
Xi Xingjiang was dying of anger: "Can that be the same? My mother gave it to me! To my future daughter-in-law!"
Lin Feilu: "?"
She squinted her eyes and looked over dangerously and indifferently.
Xi Xingjiang noticed his failure to speak, and suddenly pressed his lips, looked at the roof if nothing had happened, and at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
After a while, I heard Lin Feilu quietly say: "What you think is pretty beautiful."
He stalked his neck and turned around and shouted at her: "I can't even think about it?!"
The always domineering and invincible boy has a red on his neck.
Lin Feilu stretched out her index finger and shook him: "No, you have nothing to play."
Xi Xingjiang: "!!!" He lay down again like a tantrum, licking the corners of his lips, looking at the jade hanging beam above his head, and muttering in a low voice, "If you say there is no show, then there is no show? Just wait and see."
Lin Feilu didn't hear clearly, and hit him with an orange: "What are you talking about again?!"
Without turning his head, Xi Xingjiang just stretched out his hand abruptly, grabbed the orange in mid-air, then peeled the skin and threw a piece of orange into his mouth: "Thank you."
Lin Feilu simply didn't want to talk to him.
Approaching the evening, the scorching sun finally set, burning the cloud on the side of the mountain red. Lin Feilu left Ziyulin to go back to the palace, and the carriage was waiting outside. Xi Xingjiang walked out the door with her, and shamelessly stretched out his hand on top of her head while she was climbing the carriage.
Lin Feilu turned his head and made a nasty voice: "Sooner or later I will cut off your hand!"
He smiled hippiely: "Three days later, it will be the Qiqiao Festival. The night is very lively, and there are lanterns and lanterns. Do you want to go out of the palace? Brother Shizi will take you to play."
Lin Feilu: "Don't go! Don't play! Get out!"
Facts have proved that when the bear child grows up, he will only become a bear boy, not a young master Pianpian!
But that's what I said, on the day of Qiqiao Festival, Lin Feilu was still a little moved.
Last year, when Lin Zhanyuan fell ill on the Qiqiao Festival, she stayed with him and was unable to go out to play. I heard that this year’s Qiqiao night would put a sky lantern, that is, the Kongming Lantern. The sight of countless Qitian lanterns flying into the sky must be beautiful.
But she was worried that Xi Xingjiang would squat upright when she left the palace. Xi Xingjiang's light work was better than her, and she couldn't get away even if she wanted to run.
It's really annoying.
Lin Feilu could only make two lanterns by herself, and ran to Cuizhuju in the dark, and asked Song Jinglan to accompany her to set them.
She is now used to not going to the front entrance, and when she leaps up to the wall, she sees that there is no candlelight in the Cuizhu House, and the darkness is bathed in moonlight.
Xiaomei went to bed so early? Is this the legendary beauty sleep
She jumped off the wall, walked into the courtyard hesitantly, touched the lantern in her arms, thought for a while, still planned to go forward and knock on the door.
Before people approached, he felt a sharp sword intent emanating from the inside out, wrapping her tightly like a cold iron net.
Although she had learned martial arts for so many years, she thought she was quite good, but she didn't expect to be able to move under this sword intent. Not only could she not move, she couldn't even speak.
It was as if the whole person was plunged into the cement, imprisoning her to death, nothing could be done except sinking and waiting for death.
Lin Feilu was flustered for a while, sweating coldly, and was at a loss, but heard a scream from behind: "Uncle Ji! No!"
The sword intent that had bound her disappeared immediately, and Lin Feilu seemed to collapse, weakened and weakened, and fell to the ground. It's just that he was caught in midair before he fell down.
The familiar Qingqian bamboo fragrance wrapped her, and Lin Feilu slowly turned his head and saw Song Jinglan in a night clothes.
Before he could speak, he leaned over and hugged her sideways, and strode into the house.
From her angle, he just saw his tight chin and slightly heavy profile face.
Walking into the room, Lin Feilu saw a person standing in the corner of the room with the quiet moonlight, like a ghost, without a sound. There was no wind and the door behind him closed automatically with a slam. Song Jinglan hugged her to the couch and put it down. He held her wrist and probed her pulse. She finally pulled her lips into a smile, and said softly: " never mind."
Lin Feilu's body was still empty, his legs were soft, and he couldn't help looking at the silent shadow in the corner.
This... Is it the power of a master!
Song Jinglan turned around, with a somewhat helpless tone: "Uncle Ji, she is still a little girl."
Ji Liang said blankly, "It's late at night, with bad intentions."
Lin Feilu couldn't help refuting: "Where is it late at night? Isn't it just after Xu?"
Ji Liang looked over coldly, and the line of sight under You Yue was like a knife. There was no cold temperature at all. Lin Feilu shut up and buried his head.
You're all right, boss!
Song Jinglan smiled helplessly: "Uncle Ji, don't scare her."
After speaking, he squatted down in front of her and held her cold fingers in the palm. Lin Feilu felt as if a steady stream of heat rushed from her fingertips into her body, gradually dispelling her weakness under the threat of sword intent, and finally gradually regaining strength in her limbs.
She looked at the serious and focused young man with her eyes down slightly in front of her, and asked unhappily, "Where have you been?"
Song Jinglan raised his eyes, her eyes dazzled by the moonlight, "I went out for something."
She asked again: "Where to go out? Outside the palace?"
In fact, she just asked casually, thinking and knowing that he would not tell her, nor should he tell her.
Unexpectedly, Song Jinglan nodded: "Well, I went to meet someone in the palace."
Lin Feilu was stunned: "You can all go out of the palace? Did no one find you?"
Song Jinglan smiled and didn't speak, she held her soft fingers in her palm, and asked in a low voice, "Are you better?"
She took her finger out of his palm and replied in a muffled voice: "Um-"
He stretched out his hand to straighten out the broken hair on the corner of her lips, and then stood up, "Why are you here at this time?"
Lin Feilu raised his head and took a look. The black shadow in the corner just now disappeared, and there was no movement at all! She was completely impressed by the master, and after a while, she took out the lantern in her arms: "This is not the Qiao Qiao Festival, I am looking for you to put this."
Song Jinglan looked at the two lanterns, and smiled as if thinking of something: "I'm still wondering how lively outside the palace, it was a coincidence."
Lin Feilu said in a daze, "Yes, I heard that there will be Qi Tiandeng tonight."
She couldn't hide her envy, Song Jinglan raised her eyebrows: "Then why not leave the palace?"
Because someone squatted on me!
Lin Feilu complained secretly, Song Jinglan glanced at her, and suddenly said: "I will accompany the princess out of the palace to enjoy the Qi Tian Lantern."
She was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react: "Ah? Really? Can you take me out?"
Song Jinglan smiled and shook his head: "I can come and go freely, but I'm afraid I can't take the princess."
Lin Feilu pouted.
His gentle tone contained a lowly boastful meaning: "The princess goes out of the palace on her own, and then waits for me under the xylophoneus tree on East Street?"
Lin Feilu thought for a while, it's this hour, should Xi Xingjiang no longer squat outside the palace, right? Besides, she said she wouldn't go, maybe he would have followed his dudes to indulge in singing and wine.
You can go to the night market with Xiao Meili!
Thinking about it is exciting, so Lin Feilu nodded happily: "Okay!"
Song Jinglan also laughed, put the two lanterns in his arms, and said warmly, "See you later."
