Chapter Eighty-Three: Strange Fireflies

"Yan'er, come back to your seat." Mu Lingyi softly reminded her who was distracted, and asked her to withdraw her gaze from the two people in front of her, this girl seemed to like staring at women very much, she was really cute, she was as beautiful as a flower, but she always admired others.

"Okay." Yan Le responded gently, she slowly returned to her seat, watched Mu Lingyi leave, and sat back in his seat.

"Congratulations to the princess." Bai Yi congratulated Yan Le softly, still in the same gentle tone, and he picked up the wine and drank it independently.

"Thank you, master, but you know, master, I can't drink it, so I won't drink it back." She said playfully, as if thinking of something, "The master's body is cold, is it warmer after drinking?" ”

"The princess is concerned, and I don't know." He chuckled, fiddling helplessly with his slender fingers.

"A normal person's physique has to be warm, so it's better for the master to see if the doctor adjusts his body to strengthen." She cared deeply about his body.

"There's no need to worry about it, I don't have any memories in this world, my body is just a burden that drags me, let it take its course." He had a smile on his face, and his tone was very relaxed, not caring about birth, old age, sickness and death, because he knew what was going on with his cold.

"The master may have been pure-hearted for too long, it seems that in the future, not only will he come to play chess with the master, but he will also have to pull the master out to play, so that you can find some fun, and you will not be so world-weary."

He really wants to show people like this, this is his true heart or the heart that others see, after all, in this deep palace, it is the safest not to fight or rob. It's just that he went through something before he was safe to realize such a state of mind.

Yan Le finally sandwiched the dishes for Bai Yi, she sandwiched a piece of everything, and said in a brisk voice: "From now on, the master will try more." ”

"Then Shoulu, who is a teacher, depends entirely on the princess." Bai Yi's smile became extremely affectionate, and her way of comforting people was really different from others, he lowered his head and picked up the food in the bowl and ate it in small bites.

Yan Le inexplicably felt that someone was watching her, she looked back at Ling Yi's affectionate gaze suspiciously, and found that it was not him, and searched in the direction of her mother's place and saw a delicate young woman staring at her with deep resentment. The seat next to her was empty, but in her position, she was a married princess.

"Master," Yan Le pretended to be natural and opened his eyes, looked back at the food on his table, and spoke to Bai Yi in a low voice. "Master, don't look up, keep a normal posture, let me ask you."

"Okay." He continued to eat the food in the bowl with his head bowed as she wished.

"At the table where my father went, who was the woman in the rose-red dress?" Yan Le also lowered her head and said, picked up the teacup next to the wine glass, and took a sip, hiding her discomfort.

"Oh?" Bai Yi knew who she was, and as soon as he sat down just now, it was convenient for the person to make eye contact, but the hesitant appearance of Yan Le next to him made him want to deliberately tease.

He met the eyes of the woman opposite him with a puzzled expression, so he nodded politely and politely to her across the aisle. Yan Le was extremely nervous, didn't she obviously ask her about herself, her small hand pulled the corner of Bai Yi's clothes under the table, and said in a suppressed voice: "Master, I said don't look up." ”

"It's okay, that's the second princess, and now it's the main room of the prime minister's eldest son." He deliberately shifted his tone to comfort, his cold, thin hand holding her restless little hand underneath.

Yan Le pulled back very quickly, but it collided with the corner of the hard sandalwood table, and the pain made her frown, and when she wanted to take her hand back and cover it, she was tightly grasped by Bai Yi when she endured the pain.

"You're alright, I didn't know it scared you." He took her hand and stroked it slowly, gently blowing on the already reddened hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, master, don't worry." Unexpectedly, he was an ordinary person without martial arts, and his strength was stronger than herself, so she pushed his hand and carefully withdrew her hand.

"It's a pity, it's better to go outside with the imperial grandmother to breathe, we can't drink wine, but when we smell this wine, grandma is slightly drunk." She looked at Yan Le kindly, watching her hand finally take out of Bai Yi's hand, could it be that this little spirit pity fascinated Bai Yi? Although Xiao Lingxi is extraordinarily beautiful, and today's clothes also make her extraordinarily beautiful, Bai Yi has been used to seeing beauties in the palace since he was a child, and he should be unwavering, and he was not emotional when his second granddaughter chased him so passionately.

Yan Le inhaled the cold air and endured the pain, "Okay, Grandma Huang, let's go outside", she carefully arranged the skirt around her feet.

"I'll help you."

"Thank you, master, but I should be able to do it this time." She got up according to the edge of the table, and saw that the imperial grandmother had come down from the high platform, she whispered a few words to the palace maid who was supporting her, and the palace maid turned around and sent a famous palace maid to help Yan Le.

"Everyone is enjoying the banquet to the fullest, and the mourning family will return to the palace first."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Princess Lingxi."

"Let's go." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to pull Yan Le and walked with her.

Yan Le lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt, looked at the palace maid who was protecting her, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the palace gate safely under the eyes of everyone.

"Grandma Huang, this dress you gave me has made me suffer a lot." She pouted and wanted to seek justice from the Queen Mother.

"Grandma Huang also wants our Xiaolin to be beautiful and bright, you look so good-looking, you are also a princess, don't be compared to other princesses." Her little appearance is really cute, very active and tender, coquettish but not pretentious, no wonder the handsome and extraordinary Mu guy likes her.

"It doesn't matter if it's better than me, but thank you for thinking about it." She was extremely grateful to Grandma Huang for being so attentive.

"You girl is intimate, you have to remember to come and see the imperial grandmother tomorrow, the imperial grandmother is old, but you have to cherish the day you come back." The Queen Mother was inexplicably sentimental, "Your birthday is the first month, so calculated, the New Year is your coming-of-age ceremony, and you will get married." ”

"It turned out to be quite fast, and I'm still wondering when the coming-of-age ceremony is." She didn't think about her birthday, so when she got married after listening to the coming-of-age ceremony, she couldn't estimate the marriage date, it turned out that she was not far from marrying Ling Yi.

"You girl is in a hurry to get married, you can't mess around when you get married." The Queen Mother looked at her extremely firm heart and was very happy with her. And she is so determined, presumably Bai Yi's thoughts can be broken early, and so is poor Xiao Qi.

"Hehe, Grandma Huang is here, I don't want to say that you understand." Yan Le raised his eyebrows playfully and said in a cheerful tone.

The two of them took a group of people to walk slowly on the way back to Qianning Palace, the extremely bright candlestick pillars on the side of the road illuminated the path transparently, and lined the dimness of the grass on both sides.

Yan Le glanced at the fireflies, and unconsciously thought that when he was at the base, he often ran to the roof to look at the fireflies in the forest outside the high wall...... Yan Le felt weird inexplicably.

"Grandma Huang, what month is it?"

"It's October, are you really in such a hurry to get married?" The Queen Mother heard that she had already asked about the year, and she couldn't help but feel funny when she looked really anxious.

"Grandma Huang, look at the fireflies over there, are they beautiful?" Yan Le held the Queen Mother and slowly turned around, looking at the rockery in front of him.

"Oh, Xiao Lingxi, the imperial grandmother is dazzled, and I can see a few small dots shaking in the distance." The Queen Mother was quite helpless.

"Princess Lingxi, there are occasionally a few fireflies flying in that place, and the Queen Mother is old, and at night this eye can't see far away." The palace maid waiting beside the Queen Mother explained to Yan Le.

"Occasionally? Only that place? "It's weird, even if it's occasional, it depends on the season, it's October.

"Yes, but it will fly after a while, Princess Lingxi, do you want to catch it? The slave and the maid let them go. She was about to turn around and send someone, but was stopped by Yan Le.

"No, I just think the worms glow, it's fun." Yan Le chuckled.

"Then go back to the palace, Xiao Lingxi, the imperial grandmother's legs are sore." The Queen Mother pulled Yan Le to walk faster, her legs and feet were not as old as those of young people.

Yan Le frowned slightly, she secretly planned to send the imperial grandmother back to come back to see if she came back to see it again, these fireflies may have been deliberately raised by someone.

Finally arrived at Qianning Palace, Yan Le touched his waist and looked anxious to find something, "Oh, Grandma Huang, my things fell on the road, I'll go back to look for them, see if you are tired, let's rest quickly." ”

"What did you lose, just let Xiaolu take someone to find it for you, don't fall if this black light is blind." The Queen Mother grabbed her hand and didn't let her go in such a hurry.

"No need, Grandma Huang, I want to go back to the palace to find my mother and father, and I can walk smoothly on the road." She was very afraid that she would send her to follow her, so she opened her mouth to find something to do for Xiao Lu, "Xiao Lu, you go and bring a bowl of hot soup for the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother is afraid that she will not eat much tonight." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

"You girl is really careful, the imperial grandmother is too happy tonight, she eats very little, you can stay and drink some before leaving." She caressed her hand lovingly, feeling her twitch inexplicably.

Yan Le gritted her teeth and gasped, and quickly withdrew her hand and hid it under her sleeve.

"What's wrong with your hand, Grandma Huang." She had just touched her gently, how could she feel like she had been touched.

"It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally rubbed the corner of the table just now, Grandma Huang, I have to go to the medicine, let's go first." There was no man here now, so she simply raised the hem of her skirt and ran out of the hall while the imperial grandmother was still in a trance.

Yan Le trotted all the way, and she reached the suspicious rockery just now, and she took out a lantern from the candlestick pillar and pulled it to illuminate the grass under the path.

The specially cultivated lawn is extremely tender and green, smooth and intact, and there is no trace of being trampled on, is it behind the rockery? Yan Le looked at her clean embroidered shoes, not to mention the dirty shoes if she continued like this, it was very easy to attract suspicion of where she went. She put most of her skirt on her knees and crouched down, looking around the trail by the faint candlelight, and there were no footprints going down or coming up, so that everything could be done in the back.

Pavilion! Yan Le suddenly thought of the pavilion they were in during the day today, if there was a hard mud path behind the rockery that led to the pavilion, then there was no need to step on the wet lawn at all. Where will the opening of the trail be? Yan Le grabbed a large handful of skirts and got up, as long as she used a little light work, her feet did not touch the ground, she looked up to go to the fireflies, and was surprised to find that the fireflies were slowly scattering, wandering around the rockery, and finally flew away in one place together.

Yan Le had already made up her mind, she stood on tiptoe to gather her internal strength, ready to jump, and when her toes were about to exert force, she was very keen to hear footsteps approaching here very quickly. She slowed down her internal force very quickly, put her skirt back on, and turned to stare in the direction where the person was coming.
