Chapter Seventy-Four: The Prince and Princess
In the alley outside the back door, Lin Wan's carriage was parked. Jin Haoran now lives in the post house, and someone follows him every day, and after he came out today, he asked the coachman to lure the person who followed him away, and came to the Liying Xiangge alone.
Lin Wan and Jin Haoran sat in the same carriage and headed for Tianxianglou. Along the way, Jin Haoran also explained to Lin Wan a lot about the royal relationship in Dongli, the deployment of Kyoto, and the hobbies and weaknesses of Jin Pengzhan and Li Xingyu.
At the time of unitary, Tianxianglou was still full. The door of Tianzi No. 1 room was tightly closed, and Shopkeeper Ji brought Lin Wan and Jin Haoran to the door, but did not push the door. Lin Wan was a little strange, but he didn't hesitate and gently pushed the door open.
There were four people sitting in the room, but in Lin Wan's eyes, he only saw one person, that person was dressed in black, his face was pale, slightly thin, but he was still handsome, his phoenix eyes were staring at Lin Wan, his black eyes were as bright as stars, but there was no expression on his face.
Lin Wan's heart was like a wave lapping, but he couldn't see anything on his face, seeing that Zhou Tianqi was just looking at himself, not moving, Lin Wan suddenly regained his composure, and turned his eyes to look at the other three people in the room.
Changfeng sat beside Qin Xin, still masked with a scarf, and Changfeng's face was full of happiness. Zhou Tianqi sat next to a girl in white, about twelve years old, taller than Lin Wan, with pink faces, smiling eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and she looked like she was smiling when she wasn't smiling.
Seeing Lin Wan and Jin Haoran coming, Changfeng hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Brother Jin and Brother Wan are just in time, come and sit down, they are all their own people, so you don't have to be restrained." Turning his head to look at Zhou Tianqi, seeing that he didn't plan to introduce himself, he scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is Zhou Gongzi's sister." ”
Jin Haoran smiled slightly and nodded to the girl.
Lin Wan also nodded slightly to the girl, and said in a male voice: "Miss Zhou is good." ”
This girl turned out to be Zhou Tianqi's younger sister, judging by her age, she should be the emperor's favorite third princess Zhou Lingwei. But Zhou Lingwei didn't put on a princess's stand, stood up very politely, blessed the two of them, and said, "Jin Gongzi and Wan Gongzi are good." ”
Jin Haoran and Lin Wan hurriedly hugged their fists in return.
After the introduction, Zhou Lingwei and Changfeng each returned to their seats and sat down. Zhou Tianqi was still expressionless, looking at everything in front of him casually.
Qin Xinmei looked at Lin Wan, her eyes were full of eagerness, but she didn't speak, obviously not intending to let others know that she could speak.
Lin Wan smiled at Qin Xin, strode to the seat next to Qin Xin and sat down.
Jin Haoran also walked over and asked Zhou Lingwei politely, "Miss Zhou, can you sit here?"
Zhou Lingwei smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Childe, please take a seat." "The voice is sweet, like honey and sugar, the temperament is elegant, and the fall is generous.
Jin Haoran nodded slightly in thanks and sat on the seat between Zhou Lingwei and Lin Wan.
Lin Wan's hand gently shook the hand of the heart of the piano under the table, and smiled at her. He crossed her again, looked at Changfeng, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I only asked you to drink." Why did you kidnap my sister too?"
Changfeng smiled and said, "Brother Wan, what are you talking about, how is it abduction? You also know that I haven't seen Qin Xin for a long time, and you invited me to drink and didn't bring her here, don't you want me to drink alcohol?"
Lin Wan restrained his smile and said very seriously: "Then I can't blame my little brother, you brought it on yourself! Before your is completely resolved, please don't bother my sister for the time being." ”
Changfeng was a little annoyed when he heard this, but he was helpless, seeing Lin Wan's non-negotiable expression, he had to nod, raised the wine glass on the table, and drank it all.
Lin Wan was also in a bad mood, picked up the wine jug at hand, poured himself a glass, and drank it.
"Don't ......" Zhou Tianqi finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
As soon as the wine was in its mouth, Lin Wan found that something was wrong, but fortunately, Zhou Tianqi made a sound, she slowed down a little, and Qin Xin had time to snatch the remaining half of the wine from the side. Despite this, the wine had entered his throat, and Lin Wan still choked and coughed. Qin Xin handed her a handkerchief and patted her on the back, her eyes full of tenderness and pity.
After a while, Lin Wan gradually stopped, and raised his eyes just in time to see Zhou Tianqi's anxiously worried phoenix eyes. Lin Wan avoided his gaze and looked at Zhou Lingwei, only to see that Zhou Lingwei was staring at her beautiful big eyes, looking at her brother who had always been cold and arrogant, and couldn't help but care about the young man opposite.
Zhou Lingwei turned her eyes to look at Lin Wan, her eyes full of inquiry.
Lin Wan saw that Zhou Lingwei also looked over, smiled at her, and said, "I don't know how to drink, so Miss Zhou can laugh." ”
Zhou Lingwei shook her head, and Wen Yan said with relief: "I don't know how to drink, so Wan Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
Lin Wan saw that Zhou Lingwei's tone was natural, sincere and kind, and she had a little more affection for her.
After a meal, although everyone restrained a lot because of Zhou Lingwei's presence, they were very happy. Changfeng has been helping the piano heart to pick up vegetables, and he is very thoughtful. Jin Haoran has also been paying attention to Zhou Lingwei, as long as she looks at which dish, which dish will appear in front of her eyes, or fall directly in her bowl.
Lin Wan treated it as if no one else existed, unceremoniously self-sufficient, and quickly filled herself, supporting her chin with her elbows, watching Changfeng and Jin Haoran perform.
Zhou Tianqi never drank alcohol, so he held the teacup and drank tea by himself, and his chopsticks did not move at all. occasionally peeked at Lin Wan, but never caught Lin Wan's eyes, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
After the meal, Changfeng saw that Zhou Tianqi's face was full of frost, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, glared at Zhou Tianqi, and then said softly to Qin Xin: "Qin Xin, the air here is not good, let's go out for a walk, just to eliminate food." ”
Qin Xin glanced at Lin Wan and saw that Lin Wan was looking bored, holding his chin and poking a piece of drunken chicken in the bowl with a chopstick.
Qin Xin nodded to Changfeng, Changfeng jumped up happily immediately, and was about to go out holding Qin Xin, for fear that Lin Wan would stop him.
Lin Wan saw that Changfeng was so attentive to Qin Xin, and he was also very happy in his heart, and did not stop them, and said to the door: "Gale Wind, follow them, never leave an inch." ”
"Yes. "The sound of a gale wind outside the door sounded like in my ears.
Changfeng was already very happy as long as he could go out with Qin Xin, and he didn't object to Gale following.
Jin Haoran stood up and invited Zhou Lingwei: "Miss Zhou, since that's the case, let's go out for a walk together." ”
Zhou Lingwei looked at the man in front of her with a crimson face, her skin was snowy, warm as jade, she had been taking good care of herself tonight, polite and courteous, which made her have a great good impression. Zhou Lingwei felt that she should refuse, but she couldn't speak, she looked at Zhou Tianqi hesitantly, and asked timidly, "Seventh brother, will you go with you?"
