The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 30 Market
"I'm waiting for you."
It is rare for Lin Aoxue to be frank. I don't know if it is because the weather is too cold, there is a layer of red cloud on the left cheek exposed outside the mask, and there is a layer of water vapor in her slightly drooping eyes. The eyes staring at the clouds are foggy. The moment Yunyan looked over, her heart trembled.
The lanterns at the entrances of the shops on both sides of the street were not very bright. Lin Aoxue stood for a long time in the night, her ears were red from the cold, and it was cold.
The playful teasing in Yunyan's eyes slowly receded, she exhaled hot air, and said apologetically:
"Did you wait a long time?"
Lin Aoxue shook her head:
"No, I've only been here for a while."
Yun Yan stared into her eyes without saying a word, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to turn her head away, avoiding her gaze, the expression on her face was still tense, but she changed her words weakly:
"Well... a little longer than a while."
Yun Yan smiled and didn't force her anymore, only said:
"Put out your hand."
Lin Aoxue didn't understand, she blinked her eyes and didn't move.
"Stretch out the hand you injured just now."
Yun Yan is very patient, she thinks Lin Aoxue is just a stubborn baby.
Lin Aoxue let out a "huh" and her eyes wandered.
Seeing Lin Aoxue pretending not to understand, Yunyan simply took a step forward, almost sticking to Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and let go of the hand behind her back, Yunyan grabbed her right wrist, Then pull it to the front.
"You! You are really... How should I say hello!"
Yun Yan was a little angry, she knew it would be like this.
The gauze in Lin Aoxue's palm was already soaked with blood, she would subconsciously clenched her fists when she was nervous, or twisted her hands together, she didn't pay attention at all, and she didn't care when she opened the wound.
"Not a big problem..."
Lin Aoxue still wanted to quibble.
"you shut up."
Yun Yan glanced at her, Lin Aoxue fell silent.
Yun Yan quickly removed the gauze from Lin Aoxue's hand, and under Lin Aoxue's surprised gaze, she took out the wound medicine and new gauze from her cuff pocket, and re-bandaged the wound on her hand.
Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised. After the wound was repacked, she held her right hand and looked over it twice, still feeling unbelievable:
"Why do you still carry these things with you?"
Yunyan is wearing a very beautiful red dress today, and she even put on makeup, so she doesn't look like she knows how to go out to practice medicine.Yun Yan put away the blood-stained gauze that Lin Aoxue had replaced, and then gave her a blank look:
"You have the nerve to say it, I went to return the piano, and when I came out, I heard that you had left. When you talked to the princess earlier, your hands were deformed, and you didn't notice the blood, so I went to pick it up again. Yao, since you have come to the capital, you may know about Yanyu Tower, I guess you will come here to look for me, so I came to have a look, and I really saw you."
Yunyan's words undoubtedly confirmed Lin Aoxue's conjecture that there must be some unknown connection between the Yanyu Tower in the capital and the Yanyu Tower in the north.
Embarrassment appeared on Lin Aoxue's face. She didn't expect Yunyan to notice such a small thing. She didn't even realize that when she was talking to Bei Chenling, did she make such obvious small movements?
Thinking of this, she frowned. If it was so obvious, would it make Bei Chenhe or Bei Chenling suspicious?
Lin Aoxue's mood suddenly became heavy, but she heard Yunyan say:
"The lord and princess are distinguished. It's normal for you to be a little nervous when you first enter the palace, but you can't toss yourself like this next time, do you hear me?"
Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief again, Yun Yan was really understanding, even if only she understood that what she was worried about and what Yun Yan said were not the same thing.Presumably, in the eyes of others, she is a small family, facing the clan prince and princess, she is not nervous to have a problem.
"I heard."
She answered obediently.
Only then did Yunyan feel relieved, but it was really hard for her to fully trust Lin Aoxue.She grabbed Lin Aoxue's sleeve, pulled her away from the street corner, and said at the same time:
"Let's get out of here first."
Although there are not many people on the street, there are many people in the end, Yunyan has a special status, and it is easy to cause trouble for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue followed Yun Yan, turned one after another, and didn't go into the details of where Yun Yan was taking her. In her mind, Yun Yan would not harm her.
The two walked on the street one after the other, the sky was getting late, the roadside shops were closed one after another, and their business people also had to go home for the New Year.
Lin Aoxue walked behind Yunyan for about half an hour, and came to a relatively remote street, walked forward for more than a hundred steps, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous small house in the middle of the street.
Yunyan opened the door and led Lin Aoxue in. The small courtyard was clean and tidy, the area was small, but the decoration was extremely delicate, and there were many valuable things inside.
Lin Aoxue glanced briefly and asked:
"You are in the capital, do you just live here?"
Yun Yan didn't hide anything, she nodded and said:
"Well, this little house is my own."
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said with a smile:
"It's the first time I've brought people to this place."
Lin Aoxue blushed, suddenly a little at a loss, but secretly happy in her heart.Seeing her like this, Yun Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and said:
"Sit down for a while."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and lifted the curtain behind the house, went to the backyard, and left Lin Aoxue in the house.Lin Aoxue was nervous and couldn't sit still. She stood up, looked to the left, and then looked again. The vase on the low table was finely grained, and the pattern on it was also very delicate and beautiful. One could tell that it was very valuable.
Lin Aoxue was amazed, and also a little bit self-pitying, she couldn't tell from the outside, Yun Yan was really wealthy, much richer than her as a soldier, how much money would she have to save to afford such a bottle!
Yun Yan went out for a while, Lin Aoxue walked around the house twice, having nothing to do, went back to the front yard and sat on the stone steps in front of the house.The cold wind was blowing on her body, but she didn't feel cold. It was as if there was a warm breath in her heart, which was much more at ease than in the past ten years.
She sat in front of the steps for a while, and Yun Yan exclaimed from behind:
"Why are you sitting here?"
Lin Aoxue stood up, pointing to the stone steps in front of the door, she said:
"I think of the last time in Yong'an, that was the first time I talked to you."
Yun Yan burst out laughing, her eyes rolled around, and she looked at her:
"You remember so clearly."
Lin Aoxue also had a double smile on her face, how could she not remember clearly, Yun Yan had already seen her identity at that time, but she was still nervous and panicked, worried that her identity would be discovered.
Half a year has passed in a flash, and they are already so familiar without knowing it.
Even though they still keep their own secrets, it doesn't affect their mutual appreciation and closeness.
Like this, being able to be friends and sisters with her is also very good.Lin Aoxue thought to herself, but for some reason, there was always some indescribable, extremely faint sourness quietly spreading in her heart.
Perhaps, it was because she had too many secrets and the hatred she carried was too deep, and she couldn't be honest with Yun Yan, so she was sad.
"Come in, it's windy outside."
Seeing Lin Aoxue standing there blankly, she suddenly became dazed, Yunyan stepped forward and pulled Lin Aoxue's sleeve, and led her into the room.
There were two bowls on the table, still steaming hot.
Lin Aoxue breathed out a foul breath, suppressed the sore feeling in her heart, walked towards the table in two steps, glanced into the bowl, was attracted by the things in the bowl, and said in surprise:
"dumpling?"
She was so surprised, she didn't expect Yunyan to order dumplings just now.She hadn't eaten dumplings during the Chinese New Year for many years, and when she saw dumplings suddenly, she was a little novel.
"Well, try it?"
Yun Yan handed the chopsticks to Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue took the chopsticks and sat down at the table. She picked up a steaming dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth without blowing.
"There aren't many ingredients in the house, so you can barely make it like this. What's wrong with you?"
Yun Yan paused in the middle of her sentence, and asked in surprise.
But after Lin Aoxue ate the dumpling into her mouth, her eyes turned red quickly, and crystal tears rolled down the corners of her eyes and fell into the soup bowl.She lowered her head suddenly and covered her face, not wanting others to see her fragility like a tsunami and landslide.
"hot."
She said only one word.
The tears in Lin Aoxue's eyes pressed down on Yunyan's heart like a branding iron, burning the flesh and blood in her heart.
She stood up, hugged Lin Aoxue into her arms, stroked her head lightly, calmed Lin Aoxue's emotions, and said in a relaxed tone:
"You don't even blow it, why don't you spit it out when it's hot?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as well.
Lin Aoxue didn't answer, her throat was choked up and she couldn't make a sound.The touch and pain came too intensely, without warning, and they were irresistible.
After a while, she took a deep breath, tried to adjust her emotions, rubbed her face in Yunyan's arms, and then raised her head again, her eyes were watery, like an abandoned puppy , wagging his tail and said to Yunyan:
"good to eat."
Yun Yan saw her like this, and the melancholy that had just come to her heart was instantly blown away by a gust of wind. She couldn't help it, and burst out laughing. While laughing, she shook her head, rubbed Lin Aoxue's cheek, and said:
"No matter how delicious it is, you don't need to work so hard, fool."
Lin Aoxue also smiled, even though there were still tears in her eyes, she remembered that she was in the military camp before, Yunyan hadn't left, and she was restrained by Beichenlong, during that time, every day's food must have been made by Yunyan.
Now that several months have passed, Yunyan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and the stuffing in this dumpling is still as much as before.
She tidied up her mood and realized that she seemed to have lost her composure, so she twitched again, let go of Yunyan and picked up the chopsticks again, pretending that nothing happened, and said:
"Really delicious."
Then he buried his head in eating the dumplings and said nothing more.
Yun Yan knew that she was being shy, and because she cried a lot just now, she felt awkward, so she didn't tease her, she just propped her chin and smiled while watching Lin Aoxue gobble up the wind.
Most of the dumplings in Lin Aoxue's bowl were eaten, and her nervousness subsided a bit. She raised her eyes and saw that Yunyan's bowl was motionless, and said in doubt:
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Yun Yan laughed:
"That's it."
As she spoke, she picked up a dumpling and took a light bite.
Lin Aoxue then ate the remaining few dumplings, and just as the last dumpling was in her mouth, she heard a click, her face changed, she pouted her mouth in a strange expression, and after a while, spit out a copper coin from her mouth.
"ah……"
She sighed in admiration, her eyes seemed to hold a handful of soft moonlight.
Suddenly there was the sound of fireworks outside the window, Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan turned their heads to look outside at the same time, brilliant and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, illuminating the entire capital city as if it were daytime.
"Aoxue, it's Chinese New Year."
Yun Yan said softly.
She also hasn't spent New Year's Eve with anyone for many years.Even in the Yanyu Building in the northern border, on such a special day, she is unwilling to share with others. She selfishly thinks that only the closest people can rely on each other in such a season.
Lin Aoxue turned her head to look at Yunyan's side face, and the colorful fireworks reflected on her face, making her soft and delicate facial features even more vivid.An inexplicable impulse surged in her heart, stronger than ever before.
"Yes, Yan'er, it's Chinese New Year."
Lin Aoxue murmured, then she stood up, and when Yunyan turned her head to look at her, she smiled and said:
"Let's go out and watch the fireworks."
Yun Yan put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand:
"Okay."
She actually had dinner today, but because she saw Lin Aoxue was only focused on drinking in the palace, and was injured later, she didn't eat much, so she thought of ordering two dumplings to fill her stomach.
Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan came to the yard together. They sat side by side in front of the house, looking up at the gorgeous fire lights in the sky from time to time, covering all the brilliance of the stars, colorful and beautiful.
In this place, it can be seen more clearly than in the house.
"Aoxue, why did you come to the capital?"
Until now, Yun Yan still felt as if she was in a dream. When Lin Aoxue appeared in the palace, she really thought that her eyes were blurred and she recognized the wrong person.
If it wasn't for the fact that the half mask on Lin Aoxue's face was too clear, her cold face and her indifferent voice were so familiar, Yun Yan could finally be sure that the person who stepped forward to save Bei Chenhe was Lin Aoxue.
She was really curious about why Lin Aoxue came to the capital, and why she appeared in the clan prince's mansion.
Lin Aoxue didn't hide anything, she passed the emperor's decree to go to the north to report to the capital, and she was selected by Bei Chenlong to accompany her, so she briefly talked about coming to Beijing with General Guo.
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Yunyan again, with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
"You must be curious about what happened to the Yanyu Building in the capital."
Before Lin Aoxue could ask, Yunyan took the initiative to speak. Lin Aoxue nodded, admitting that she was really surprised and confused.
Although Yun Yan had a smile on her face, there was a touch of loneliness hidden in her eyes, she said:
"Everyone has unavoidable difficulties, like, you have to enlist in the army to avenge your family, and I have to stay in the Misty Rain Building, because we all have things that we must do our best."
Whether passive or active, mire or muddy water, as long as it is contaminated, it cannot escape.People are born differently, and birth limits the future of many people, and she is one of them.
She wanted to exchange her efforts for more freedom, and wanted to get closer without dragging Lin Aoxue down.These, she secretly buried in her heart.
If one day, Lin Aoxue discovers her hidden secret, discovers her ugly side, and then chooses to leave, she will not complain about herself. Before she thinks of a perfect countermeasure, she is willing to play the role of a friend and change Lin Aoxue has no worries.
Hearing what Yunyan said, Lin Aoxue didn't ask any more questions, she looked at Yunyan seriously, and whispered:
"No matter what it is, as long as you speak to me, I will definitely help you."
Yun Yan showed a smile, and replied softly:
"it is good."
Finally, she said:
"I want to borrow your shoulder."
Lin Aoxue had no reason to refuse, so Yunyan leaned her head on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, she squinted her eyes slightly, her expression tired, wondering if Lin Aoxue's breath was reassuring, and after a while, she actually fell asleep.
The sound of fireworks gradually faded away, Lin Aoxue didn't hear Yunyan speak for a long time, only the sound of soft and gentle breathing could be heard in her ear.She turned her head and saw that Yunyan had fallen asleep, her nervousness gradually relaxed, and she let Yunyan lean against her like this.
Until the night dew was heavier, she felt that Yunyan would catch a cold sleeping like this, so she hugged Yunyan horizontally, tried not to wake her up, walked back to the house slowly, placed Yunyan on the bed, and covered her up After removing the quilt, he exited.
As soon as Lin Aoxue left, Yunyan woke up. She saw Lin Aoxue carefully closing the door. In the darkness, she stared at the slowly closing door with the faint moonlight, her eyes were soft and gentle.
After exiting from the back room, Lin Aoxue left Yunyan's house. Although they knew in their hearts that the two of them had nothing to do with each other, Lin Aoxue showed others as a man outside, and in her mind, she always cared about Yunyan's reputation.
When she returned to the inn, it was already very late at night, she fell asleep for a while, and woke up when the sky was twilight. I bought two baskets of steamed buns on the street, and went to Yunyan's small house.
Yun Yan also got up very early, and she didn't really have much rest last night. After Lin Aoxue left, she felt that the night was too cold, and she was always a little scared by herself, so she didn't fall asleep again.
When Lin Aoxue came, she still held two paper bags filled with hot steamed buns in her hand, signaling to Yunyan to eat together, otherwise the steamed buns would be cold later.Yun Yan laughed, as if seeing Lin Aoxue, the shadow in her heart would blow away with the wind.
This person is like sunlight, even if there is only a small gap, it will project light and warmth into it.
After breakfast, Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan went out together, and they planned to go to the market together.Today Yunyan was wearing an ordinary dress, and Lin Aoxue was not wearing a military uniform, so the two of them blended into the crowd, and they were not so conspicuous.
Lin Aoxue didn't have any plans at all, she just waited for the third prince to decide to leave after the New Year's Eve, so she would accompany Guo Wencheng.As for Yunyan, there is nothing important these few days, Yanyu Building does not rest during the Chinese New Year, but Yunyan's status is special, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go for a few days.
The bazaar was indeed lively, with people coming and going. They went to the lower-class western bazaar. There were many stalls and hawkers here. Unlike the main street in the capital, the atmosphere of the New Year was even stronger.
Passing by a small stall, Yun Yan saw that the knotted ropes woven there were very beautiful, so she bought two and asked Lin Aoxue to raise her arm, and tied one of the brown knotted ropes with a blue stone falling on it. On Lin Aoxue's wrist.
Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan lower her head to fasten her hand rope, and passers-by occasionally looked at her, which made her face subconsciously, but the tips of her ears turned reddish at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yun Yan raised her head and saw her like this, so she laughed at her:
"You always have such a stern face, others think there is something wrong between us."
Lin Aoxue pursed her lips and did not answer.Yun Yan shook her head, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic. She put down Lin Aoxue's arm and wanted to continue walking, but Lin Aoxue suddenly said:
"Give me your bracelet."
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously.
"I'll tie it for you."
Lin Aoxue turned her eyes away, but said so in her mouth.
Yun Yan laughed happily, and obediently handed the light blue bracelet to Lin Aoxue, then lifted the cuffs slightly, revealing a white wrist.
Lin Aoxue swallowed her saliva, and suddenly her heart beat like a drum.
She gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressed her nervousness, focused on the bracelet, and tied it carefully for Yunyan.Yunyan's complexion was very fair, and the light blue knotted knots adorned her wrists, making her skin more radiant.
"It's really beautiful."
Lin Aoxue gave a sincere admiration.Yun Yan smiled, raised Yang Lin Aoxue's arm lightly, and said softly:
"You look good like this."
Lin Aoxue felt that her face was almost burning, she didn't dare to look directly into Yunyan's eyes, fearing that the emotions hidden in her heart would escape from her eyes by herself.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a small stall, and saw a lot of colored paper and window grilles on the stall, her eyes lit up, she took Yunyan and walked over quickly, and under Yunyan's puzzled gaze, she bought a large stack of colored paper.
"Why did you buy this?"
Yun Yan asked her.
The corner of Lin Aoxue's lips curled into a slight smile, she weighed the colored paper in her hand, and said:
"Go back and cut some window grilles and stick them on your windows."
Yun Yan did not expect Lin Aoxue to think so much. The place where she lived was very deserted, because she was the only one with no servants or maids. She never thought of preparing these things for the New Year alone. care so much.
Yun Yan was both moved and novel. She didn't know that Lin Aoxue knew these skills, so she said:
"You know how to cut window grilles? Why don't you teach me!"
Lin Aoxue laughed heartily, her father knew how to make a lot of gadgets, she learned a lot when she was young, and when Yun Yan said that she wanted to learn, Lin Aoxue naturally wouldn't hide her secrets, and agreed wholeheartedly.
They continued to move forward, and stopped next to a peddler of a group of clay figurines. Lin Aoxue wanted to give Yunyan a clay figurine, but Yunyan asked the peddler to pinch Lin Aoxue's image, and the little clay figurine he pinched had half of his face. The mask, with its vivid appearance, made Yunyan amused.
The clay figurine was ready, Lin Aoxue paid the money, and Yun Yan held the little clay figurine in her hands, smiling.
But before they took two steps, a voice came from not far away, calling Lin Aoxue:
"Lin Qianhu, please stop."
Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Aoxue frowned, and Yun Yan blinked unexpectedly.
They turned around and saw that the person standing not far away was Bei Chenling.Lin Aoxue never thought that she would meet Bei Chenling here in Xishi. Bei Chenling is the princess of the clan prince's mansion. With such a noble status, why did she come to such a place?
Bei Chenling didn't wear her palace skirt, she changed into a relatively simple dress, and there were no guards behind her, so she didn't want to reveal her identity.
"Lin Aoxue has met His Royal Highness, but I don't know what His Royal Highness is looking for?"
Lin Aoxue's voice was so low that only Yunyan and Beichenling could hear it.Yun Yan also bowed and greeted Bei Chenling in a low voice.
Bei Chenling glanced at Yunyan behind Lin Aoxue. She thought she was wrong before, but she never expected that the woman with Lin Aoxue was really Yunyan.
But who Lin Aoxue was with, and why Yunyan was by Lin Aoxue's side, these things were not something she had to figure out.The reason why she suddenly called Lin Aoxue to stop was because she had something to ask.
"I don't know if Lin Qianhu has time now? The princess has something to ask."
Bei Chenling got straight to the point and didn't go around the bush.
Lin Aoxue frowned even more when she heard this. She didn't know what Bei Chenling wanted her to do, but considering that she was not alone today, she wanted to refuse directly.
But before she could speak, she suddenly felt Yunyan gently tug on her sleeve, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to ask again:
"What's the matter, Your Royal Highness?"
Bei Chenling glanced at Yunyan again, Yunyan's little action of pulling Lin Aoxue's sleeve just now fell into her eyes completely, Lin Aoxue's refusal was very obvious just now, but she changed her words under Yunyan's signal.
She sneered in her heart, this woman is really good at bewitching people's hearts, she is very good at pleasing men, Lin Aoxue only saw Yunyan at the clan's prince's residence yesterday, and she spoke for Yunyan, today she obeys her words and shows more favoritism.
While Bei Chenling despised Yunyan, she also looked down on Lin Aoxue by two points. The sympathy she felt for Lin Aoxue after hearing about Lin Aoxue's life experience yesterday gradually faded away.But Lin Aoxue's martial arts are very strong, and today's matter needs her help to be successful. After weighing it, she still said:
"To be honest with Lin Qianhu, there is a ring in front of the West Street. It is said that if you win the first place, you can get a set of calligraphy and painting. This calligraphy and painting is of great significance to this princess, but this princess came out today without an attendant. I want to invite Lin Qian households to help."
She wants that set of calligraphy and painting, but the people in the arena are very powerful, and she doesn't know martial arts. The most important thing is that if her father, Beichenhe, knows about this, he will definitely not allow it. Therefore, she dare not go back to the palace. Looking for someone, and meeting Lin Aoxue by chance this time, she thought of asking Lin Aoxue for help. If Lin Aoxue is willing to help, that set of calligraphy and painting will definitely be available.
When Lin Aoxue heard this, she thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Yunyan, Yunyan looked at her, and signaled her not to disobey Beichenling, Lin Aoxue sighed helplessly, and said:
"Your Highness, please lead the way."
Bei Chenling was overjoyed, she got Lin Aoxue's promise to help, and she didn't have time to care about the unknown relationship between Yunyan and Lin Aoxue, so she quickly took Lin Aoxue to the street ring.
The person on the stage has good martial arts, and has defeated more than ten challengers in a row.This ring competition is coming to an end. According to the regulations, if he can win [-] games in a row, he will be counted as the number one. The man on the stage has already won [-] games. As long as he persists for two more games, he will He is the leader of the arena.
Under Bei Chenling's signal, Lin Aoxue jumped onto the ring, and the faces of the people on the stage showed surprise. Lin Aoxue really looked too thin, which made him subconsciously feel that Lin Aoxue was extremely weak.But he also knew that judging people by their appearance was the most taboo during the journey of martial arts, so he didn't dare to underestimate Lin Aoxue.
After facing Lin Aoxue and performing the battle ceremony, the two each backed away a few steps.They fought each other for a few breaths, and in the end, it was unknown who made the move first, one made a move, and the other followed suit, and it was very quick.
This kid's martial arts are indeed good, and he can be evenly matched with Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue was also aroused when she met her opponent, but she hurt her hand yesterday, so it was inevitable that she would be hindered. move.
Therefore, Lin Aoxue used her uninjured left hand to fight against this man with one hand, but the man felt that Lin Aoxue underestimated others, and under the resentment, the offensive became more and more fierce, while Lin Aoxue was mostly on the defensive. Frowning, a little worried.
Bei Chenling was a little flustered. Could it be that even Lin Aoxue couldn't win this ring? She had heard from her father that Lin Aoxue was extremely brave when she was at the border. She had great expectations, but she never thought it would be like this.
After a while, she realized that Lin Aoxue always used one-handed moves, and she belatedly remembered that Lin Aoxue was injured yesterday in the palace to save Bei Chenhe. It was a little bit reluctant to play in the battle with injuries, and it was difficult for her to force others.
Bei Chenling sighed silently, if she didn't have the chance to get that set of paintings and calligraphy today, she would have to look for another chance in the future to see if she could negotiate with this person and let him transfer it.
Just when Bei Chenling's emotions were fluctuating and his thoughts were chaotic, the battle situation on the stage changed again. The man attacked many times, but Lin Aoxue calmly followed through with his moves. Can't break the defense.
After more than a hundred moves, he still failed to break through Lin Aoxue's defense. On the contrary, Lin Aoxue made two changes in the middle and almost knocked him off the ring.
When Lin Aoxue changed his move for the third time, the man saw that this move was aggressive, and the timing was so perfect that he couldn't retreat, so he suddenly floated and jumped out of the ring to avoid being injured by this palm.
"Hahaha! Your Excellency is a master of martial arts, I am willing to bow down to you!"
He laughed loudly, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Lin Aoxue was actually amused by this person's bright temperament, she also raised her palms and fists, and said loudly:
"Your Excellency is humble and accepts!"
As soon as this person withdrew, someone else came up to challenge him. Except for the previous person, Lin Aoxue never met anyone who could compete with him. Even with only one hand, she easily won fifteen rounds .
Lin Aoxue won the ring, the host was quite happy, and handed over the set of calligraphy and painting as a prize to Lin Aoxue as promised.But when this thing unfolded in front of Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly.
She discovered that this set of calligraphy and painting was her father's early practice work, and was later donated by her father to others. After her family fell, the things that were sent by the general Zhen Guo in the past naturally lost their value. In order to get rid of the relationship with her father, the old friend sold those things at a very low price.
It's just that she didn't expect that after many years, she would see such a well-preserved set of paintings and calligraphy again.
There was a lot of voices in the audience, Lin Aoxue quickly came back to her senses, she immediately suppressed the look of astonishment on her face, took the object with slightly trembling hands, thanked the host, and walked off the ring amidst the cheers of the audience .
Bei Chenling looked very happy when she got the calligraphy and painting. She thanked Lin Aoxue again, took off the valuable jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to Lin Aoxue without hesitation, as a thank you for what she did today.Complexity flashed across Lin Aoxue's eyes, and then she was overwhelmed by pain and hatred.
The unpredictable gaze quickly returned to silence and indifference, she glanced at the jade pendant in Bei Chenling's hand, and shook her head with a cold face:
"You can't do it like your Highness."
She didn't understand why Bei Chenling was like this, she and her father plotted against her father back then, but now she still uses these little tricks, who is showing this superficial skill?
She was afraid that she would not be able to restrain the anger in her heart when she looked at Bei Chenling's seemingly innocent face again, so she didn't stay for long, said that she had something important to do, and asked His Highness to enjoy it by herself, then turned around and left quickly up.
Yunyan was greatly surprised. Although Lin Aoxue was indifferent to others in the past, she would never show her face to others, let alone the honorable princess.
She blinked, feeling extremely helpless, bowed to Beichen Lingfu, and quickly followed Lin Aoxue.
The jade pendant that Bei Chenling handed over was still hanging in the air, she stared at Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan's back in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while.After a while, she put away the jade pendant, and left West Market holding the calligraphy and painting with a complicated expression.
Yun Yan followed behind Lin Aoxue, her expression was also quite strange, she lamented that Lin Aoxue was so daring, even the princess of the clan's prince's mansion dared to flirt with others.
She couldn't figure out why Lin Aoxue was angry, she just thought, maybe it was because Lin Aoxue didn't want to help Bei Chenling fight in the ring, so she kept holding back her dissatisfaction, and finally burst out suddenly.
Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty. Lin Aoxue didn't want to help at first, but because of her persuasion earlier, Lin Aoxue reluctantly agreed. She took two quick steps and called out:
"Aoxue?"
Lin Aoxue stopped in her tracks, and when she turned her head and saw Yunyan looking at her worriedly, she understood that she had lost her composure earlier.She pursed her lips tightly, her face was still in a daze, Yunyan looked at her sideways, and said:
"If you don't want to flatter, then you can refuse these things in the future."
It's just that people who are too upright are always easy to suffer.
But Lin Aoxue is different from her in nature, Lin Aoxue has always been like this, if it is someone else, it will be fine, but she does not want to see Lin Aoxue change herself because of the world, anyway, Lin Aoxue will go back to the north after the next year, that battlefield, maybe it will be better Suitable for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue sighed softly, with a look of distress on her face, and turned to look at Yunyan:
"Yan'er, what will happen if I offend Prince Zong?"
Yun Yan didn't doubt that there was him, she just thought that Lin Aoxue really didn't understand, so she explained to Lin Aoxue:
"In the capital, no one dares to offend him. If you don't seek fame and fortune, but just guard the border with peace of mind and don't want to go any further, then what happened today is irrelevant."
Yunyan really thinks for Lin Aoxue, so she analyzes this matter very objectively. If Lin Aoxue is offended by this, she has nothing to do. There are some things that others may not tell Lin Aoxue, but Lin Aoxue should know.
"The Prince Zong is very powerful. If you can get the help of the Prince Zong, then you will be able to develop more smoothly even in the northern border. You only know that the Prince Zong has no military power, but you don't understand that many things cannot be just Look at the appearance."
This is the end of Yun Yan's words, what she said today is enough, if she goes on, she will definitely overstep the rules, but it depends on whether Lin Aoxue is willing to listen.Therefore, Yunyan didn't go into details with Lin Aoxue about the more detailed things. In the end, she stared into Lin Aoxue's eyes and said softly:
"If you can trust me, listen to me."
Lin Aoxue fell silent, she guessed that the forces behind Yunyan must also be on the side of Prince Zong, otherwise she would not have said something like "you can't just look at appearances" about Prince Zong who seems to have no military power.
In the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, there is also an undercurrent. In the struggle of many giants, anyone who has something to do with it has to stand in line. No one can stay out of it, not even Yunyan, but I don’t know who the prince is supporting. The prince, or, he actually doesn't want to help anyone.
Although Lin Aoxue has not returned to the capital for ten years, she is not completely clear about the situation in the capital.
The emperor was in his prime, but his sons had already started fighting for power. Both Bei Chenlong and Bei Chenhe were relatives of the emperor. To the emperor, his threat was far less than that of Bei Chenlong who held a heavy army.
If the border barbarians were not fierce, brave and good at fighting, and there were not many experts in Beijing, Bei Chenlong would not have the military power alone, forming a situation of dominance in the northern border.And this time the emperor sent the third prince on the grounds of heavy losses at the border, and his purpose was also to weaken the phenomenon of Bei Chenlong's integrity at the border.
For these undercurrents hidden under the peace, Lin Aoxue's heart is like a mirror, but she doesn't plan to step into this muddy water for the time being. There are many princes who want to win over Beichenlong. Whether the third prince can successfully leave Beijing and reach the northern border is still a question. unknown number.
Lin Aoxue nodded, and agreed to Yunyan's words, Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, if Lin Aoxue would listen to her advice, it would be great.
As for today's matter, let's put it down for now. Bei Chenling asked Lin Aoxue first, so it would not have a serious impact.
After Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan came back from the market, they threw the colored paper they bought on the table. Yun Yan found the scissors and saw Lin Aoxue skillfully folded the colored paper a few times, and drew some strange patterns for her to use. After cutting with the scissors, and unfolding it again, small flowers of different shapes but extremely beautiful appeared.
Yun Yan was extremely surprised, she had only seen people downstairs making these things before, but she had never done it herself.
She asked Lin Aoxue to teach her, and Lin Aoxue also laughed, and taught Yunyan how to do it. The whole morning passed quickly, and the two of them worked together to make many window grilles. Yunyan was very happy, and found the paste These window grilles were stuck on the windows, and the deserted house suddenly became a little more angry.
The author has something to say: 2333 hahaha, couples get √
Routine comments please accept please click!
It is rare for Lin Aoxue to be frank. I don't know if it is because the weather is too cold, there is a layer of red cloud on the left cheek exposed outside the mask, and there is a layer of water vapor in her slightly drooping eyes. The eyes staring at the clouds are foggy. The moment Yunyan looked over, her heart trembled.
The lanterns at the entrances of the shops on both sides of the street were not very bright. Lin Aoxue stood for a long time in the night, her ears were red from the cold, and it was cold.
The playful teasing in Yunyan's eyes slowly receded, she exhaled hot air, and said apologetically:
"Did you wait a long time?"
Lin Aoxue shook her head:
"No, I've only been here for a while."
Yun Yan stared into her eyes without saying a word, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to turn her head away, avoiding her gaze, the expression on her face was still tense, but she changed her words weakly:
"Well... a little longer than a while."
Yun Yan smiled and didn't force her anymore, only said:
"Put out your hand."
Lin Aoxue didn't understand, she blinked her eyes and didn't move.
"Stretch out the hand you injured just now."
Yun Yan is very patient, she thinks Lin Aoxue is just a stubborn baby.
Lin Aoxue let out a "huh" and her eyes wandered.
Seeing Lin Aoxue pretending not to understand, Yunyan simply took a step forward, almost sticking to Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and let go of the hand behind her back, Yunyan grabbed her right wrist, Then pull it to the front.
"You! You are really... How should I say hello!"
Yun Yan was a little angry, she knew it would be like this.
The gauze in Lin Aoxue's palm was already soaked with blood, she would subconsciously clenched her fists when she was nervous, or twisted her hands together, she didn't pay attention at all, and she didn't care when she opened the wound.
"Not a big problem..."
Lin Aoxue still wanted to quibble.
"you shut up."
Yun Yan glanced at her, Lin Aoxue fell silent.
Yun Yan quickly removed the gauze from Lin Aoxue's hand, and under Lin Aoxue's surprised gaze, she took out the wound medicine and new gauze from her cuff pocket, and re-bandaged the wound on her hand.
Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised. After the wound was repacked, she held her right hand and looked over it twice, still feeling unbelievable:
"Why do you still carry these things with you?"
Yunyan is wearing a very beautiful red dress today, and she even put on makeup, so she doesn't look like she knows how to go out to practice medicine.Yun Yan put away the blood-stained gauze that Lin Aoxue had replaced, and then gave her a blank look:
"You have the nerve to say it, I went to return the piano, and when I came out, I heard that you had left. When you talked to the princess earlier, your hands were deformed, and you didn't notice the blood, so I went to pick it up again. Yao, since you have come to the capital, you may know about Yanyu Tower, I guess you will come here to look for me, so I came to have a look, and I really saw you."
Yunyan's words undoubtedly confirmed Lin Aoxue's conjecture that there must be some unknown connection between the Yanyu Tower in the capital and the Yanyu Tower in the north.
Embarrassment appeared on Lin Aoxue's face. She didn't expect Yunyan to notice such a small thing. She didn't even realize that when she was talking to Bei Chenling, did she make such obvious small movements?
Thinking of this, she frowned. If it was so obvious, would it make Bei Chenhe or Bei Chenling suspicious?
Lin Aoxue's mood suddenly became heavy, but she heard Yunyan say:
"The lord and princess are distinguished. It's normal for you to be a little nervous when you first enter the palace, but you can't toss yourself like this next time, do you hear me?"
Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief again, Yun Yan was really understanding, even if only she understood that what she was worried about and what Yun Yan said were not the same thing.Presumably, in the eyes of others, she is a small family, facing the clan prince and princess, she is not nervous to have a problem.
"I heard."
She answered obediently.
Only then did Yunyan feel relieved, but it was really hard for her to fully trust Lin Aoxue.She grabbed Lin Aoxue's sleeve, pulled her away from the street corner, and said at the same time:
"Let's get out of here first."
Although there are not many people on the street, there are many people in the end, Yunyan has a special status, and it is easy to cause trouble for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue followed Yun Yan, turned one after another, and didn't go into the details of where Yun Yan was taking her. In her mind, Yun Yan would not harm her.
The two walked on the street one after the other, the sky was getting late, the roadside shops were closed one after another, and their business people also had to go home for the New Year.
Lin Aoxue walked behind Yunyan for about half an hour, and came to a relatively remote street, walked forward for more than a hundred steps, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous small house in the middle of the street.
Yunyan opened the door and led Lin Aoxue in. The small courtyard was clean and tidy, the area was small, but the decoration was extremely delicate, and there were many valuable things inside.
Lin Aoxue glanced briefly and asked:
"You are in the capital, do you just live here?"
Yun Yan didn't hide anything, she nodded and said:
"Well, this little house is my own."
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said with a smile:
"It's the first time I've brought people to this place."
Lin Aoxue blushed, suddenly a little at a loss, but secretly happy in her heart.Seeing her like this, Yun Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and said:
"Sit down for a while."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and lifted the curtain behind the house, went to the backyard, and left Lin Aoxue in the house.Lin Aoxue was nervous and couldn't sit still. She stood up, looked to the left, and then looked again. The vase on the low table was finely grained, and the pattern on it was also very delicate and beautiful. One could tell that it was very valuable.
Lin Aoxue was amazed, and also a little bit self-pitying, she couldn't tell from the outside, Yun Yan was really wealthy, much richer than her as a soldier, how much money would she have to save to afford such a bottle!
Yun Yan went out for a while, Lin Aoxue walked around the house twice, having nothing to do, went back to the front yard and sat on the stone steps in front of the house.The cold wind was blowing on her body, but she didn't feel cold. It was as if there was a warm breath in her heart, which was much more at ease than in the past ten years.
She sat in front of the steps for a while, and Yun Yan exclaimed from behind:
"Why are you sitting here?"
Lin Aoxue stood up, pointing to the stone steps in front of the door, she said:
"I think of the last time in Yong'an, that was the first time I talked to you."
Yun Yan burst out laughing, her eyes rolled around, and she looked at her:
"You remember so clearly."
Lin Aoxue also had a double smile on her face, how could she not remember clearly, Yun Yan had already seen her identity at that time, but she was still nervous and panicked, worried that her identity would be discovered.
Half a year has passed in a flash, and they are already so familiar without knowing it.
Even though they still keep their own secrets, it doesn't affect their mutual appreciation and closeness.
Like this, being able to be friends and sisters with her is also very good.Lin Aoxue thought to herself, but for some reason, there was always some indescribable, extremely faint sourness quietly spreading in her heart.
Perhaps, it was because she had too many secrets and the hatred she carried was too deep, and she couldn't be honest with Yun Yan, so she was sad.
"Come in, it's windy outside."
Seeing Lin Aoxue standing there blankly, she suddenly became dazed, Yunyan stepped forward and pulled Lin Aoxue's sleeve, and led her into the room.
There were two bowls on the table, still steaming hot.
Lin Aoxue breathed out a foul breath, suppressed the sore feeling in her heart, walked towards the table in two steps, glanced into the bowl, was attracted by the things in the bowl, and said in surprise:
"dumpling?"
She was so surprised, she didn't expect Yunyan to order dumplings just now.She hadn't eaten dumplings during the Chinese New Year for many years, and when she saw dumplings suddenly, she was a little novel.
"Well, try it?"
Yun Yan handed the chopsticks to Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue took the chopsticks and sat down at the table. She picked up a steaming dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth without blowing.
"There aren't many ingredients in the house, so you can barely make it like this. What's wrong with you?"
Yun Yan paused in the middle of her sentence, and asked in surprise.
But after Lin Aoxue ate the dumpling into her mouth, her eyes turned red quickly, and crystal tears rolled down the corners of her eyes and fell into the soup bowl.She lowered her head suddenly and covered her face, not wanting others to see her fragility like a tsunami and landslide.
"hot."
She said only one word.
The tears in Lin Aoxue's eyes pressed down on Yunyan's heart like a branding iron, burning the flesh and blood in her heart.
She stood up, hugged Lin Aoxue into her arms, stroked her head lightly, calmed Lin Aoxue's emotions, and said in a relaxed tone:
"You don't even blow it, why don't you spit it out when it's hot?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as well.
Lin Aoxue didn't answer, her throat was choked up and she couldn't make a sound.The touch and pain came too intensely, without warning, and they were irresistible.
After a while, she took a deep breath, tried to adjust her emotions, rubbed her face in Yunyan's arms, and then raised her head again, her eyes were watery, like an abandoned puppy , wagging his tail and said to Yunyan:
"good to eat."
Yun Yan saw her like this, and the melancholy that had just come to her heart was instantly blown away by a gust of wind. She couldn't help it, and burst out laughing. While laughing, she shook her head, rubbed Lin Aoxue's cheek, and said:
"No matter how delicious it is, you don't need to work so hard, fool."
Lin Aoxue also smiled, even though there were still tears in her eyes, she remembered that she was in the military camp before, Yunyan hadn't left, and she was restrained by Beichenlong, during that time, every day's food must have been made by Yunyan.
Now that several months have passed, Yunyan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and the stuffing in this dumpling is still as much as before.
She tidied up her mood and realized that she seemed to have lost her composure, so she twitched again, let go of Yunyan and picked up the chopsticks again, pretending that nothing happened, and said:
"Really delicious."
Then he buried his head in eating the dumplings and said nothing more.
Yun Yan knew that she was being shy, and because she cried a lot just now, she felt awkward, so she didn't tease her, she just propped her chin and smiled while watching Lin Aoxue gobble up the wind.
Most of the dumplings in Lin Aoxue's bowl were eaten, and her nervousness subsided a bit. She raised her eyes and saw that Yunyan's bowl was motionless, and said in doubt:
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Yun Yan laughed:
"That's it."
As she spoke, she picked up a dumpling and took a light bite.
Lin Aoxue then ate the remaining few dumplings, and just as the last dumpling was in her mouth, she heard a click, her face changed, she pouted her mouth in a strange expression, and after a while, spit out a copper coin from her mouth.
"ah……"
She sighed in admiration, her eyes seemed to hold a handful of soft moonlight.
Suddenly there was the sound of fireworks outside the window, Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan turned their heads to look outside at the same time, brilliant and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, illuminating the entire capital city as if it were daytime.
"Aoxue, it's Chinese New Year."
Yun Yan said softly.
She also hasn't spent New Year's Eve with anyone for many years.Even in the Yanyu Building in the northern border, on such a special day, she is unwilling to share with others. She selfishly thinks that only the closest people can rely on each other in such a season.
Lin Aoxue turned her head to look at Yunyan's side face, and the colorful fireworks reflected on her face, making her soft and delicate facial features even more vivid.An inexplicable impulse surged in her heart, stronger than ever before.
"Yes, Yan'er, it's Chinese New Year."
Lin Aoxue murmured, then she stood up, and when Yunyan turned her head to look at her, she smiled and said:
"Let's go out and watch the fireworks."
Yun Yan put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand:
"Okay."
She actually had dinner today, but because she saw Lin Aoxue was only focused on drinking in the palace, and was injured later, she didn't eat much, so she thought of ordering two dumplings to fill her stomach.
Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan came to the yard together. They sat side by side in front of the house, looking up at the gorgeous fire lights in the sky from time to time, covering all the brilliance of the stars, colorful and beautiful.
In this place, it can be seen more clearly than in the house.
"Aoxue, why did you come to the capital?"
Until now, Yun Yan still felt as if she was in a dream. When Lin Aoxue appeared in the palace, she really thought that her eyes were blurred and she recognized the wrong person.
If it wasn't for the fact that the half mask on Lin Aoxue's face was too clear, her cold face and her indifferent voice were so familiar, Yun Yan could finally be sure that the person who stepped forward to save Bei Chenhe was Lin Aoxue.
She was really curious about why Lin Aoxue came to the capital, and why she appeared in the clan prince's mansion.
Lin Aoxue didn't hide anything, she passed the emperor's decree to go to the north to report to the capital, and she was selected by Bei Chenlong to accompany her, so she briefly talked about coming to Beijing with General Guo.
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Yunyan again, with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
"You must be curious about what happened to the Yanyu Building in the capital."
Before Lin Aoxue could ask, Yunyan took the initiative to speak. Lin Aoxue nodded, admitting that she was really surprised and confused.
Although Yun Yan had a smile on her face, there was a touch of loneliness hidden in her eyes, she said:
"Everyone has unavoidable difficulties, like, you have to enlist in the army to avenge your family, and I have to stay in the Misty Rain Building, because we all have things that we must do our best."
Whether passive or active, mire or muddy water, as long as it is contaminated, it cannot escape.People are born differently, and birth limits the future of many people, and she is one of them.
She wanted to exchange her efforts for more freedom, and wanted to get closer without dragging Lin Aoxue down.These, she secretly buried in her heart.
If one day, Lin Aoxue discovers her hidden secret, discovers her ugly side, and then chooses to leave, she will not complain about herself. Before she thinks of a perfect countermeasure, she is willing to play the role of a friend and change Lin Aoxue has no worries.
Hearing what Yunyan said, Lin Aoxue didn't ask any more questions, she looked at Yunyan seriously, and whispered:
"No matter what it is, as long as you speak to me, I will definitely help you."
Yun Yan showed a smile, and replied softly:
"it is good."
Finally, she said:
"I want to borrow your shoulder."
Lin Aoxue had no reason to refuse, so Yunyan leaned her head on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, she squinted her eyes slightly, her expression tired, wondering if Lin Aoxue's breath was reassuring, and after a while, she actually fell asleep.
The sound of fireworks gradually faded away, Lin Aoxue didn't hear Yunyan speak for a long time, only the sound of soft and gentle breathing could be heard in her ear.She turned her head and saw that Yunyan had fallen asleep, her nervousness gradually relaxed, and she let Yunyan lean against her like this.
Until the night dew was heavier, she felt that Yunyan would catch a cold sleeping like this, so she hugged Yunyan horizontally, tried not to wake her up, walked back to the house slowly, placed Yunyan on the bed, and covered her up After removing the quilt, he exited.
As soon as Lin Aoxue left, Yunyan woke up. She saw Lin Aoxue carefully closing the door. In the darkness, she stared at the slowly closing door with the faint moonlight, her eyes were soft and gentle.
After exiting from the back room, Lin Aoxue left Yunyan's house. Although they knew in their hearts that the two of them had nothing to do with each other, Lin Aoxue showed others as a man outside, and in her mind, she always cared about Yunyan's reputation.
When she returned to the inn, it was already very late at night, she fell asleep for a while, and woke up when the sky was twilight. I bought two baskets of steamed buns on the street, and went to Yunyan's small house.
Yun Yan also got up very early, and she didn't really have much rest last night. After Lin Aoxue left, she felt that the night was too cold, and she was always a little scared by herself, so she didn't fall asleep again.
When Lin Aoxue came, she still held two paper bags filled with hot steamed buns in her hand, signaling to Yunyan to eat together, otherwise the steamed buns would be cold later.Yun Yan laughed, as if seeing Lin Aoxue, the shadow in her heart would blow away with the wind.
This person is like sunlight, even if there is only a small gap, it will project light and warmth into it.
After breakfast, Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan went out together, and they planned to go to the market together.Today Yunyan was wearing an ordinary dress, and Lin Aoxue was not wearing a military uniform, so the two of them blended into the crowd, and they were not so conspicuous.
Lin Aoxue didn't have any plans at all, she just waited for the third prince to decide to leave after the New Year's Eve, so she would accompany Guo Wencheng.As for Yunyan, there is nothing important these few days, Yanyu Building does not rest during the Chinese New Year, but Yunyan's status is special, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go for a few days.
The bazaar was indeed lively, with people coming and going. They went to the lower-class western bazaar. There were many stalls and hawkers here. Unlike the main street in the capital, the atmosphere of the New Year was even stronger.
Passing by a small stall, Yun Yan saw that the knotted ropes woven there were very beautiful, so she bought two and asked Lin Aoxue to raise her arm, and tied one of the brown knotted ropes with a blue stone falling on it. On Lin Aoxue's wrist.
Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan lower her head to fasten her hand rope, and passers-by occasionally looked at her, which made her face subconsciously, but the tips of her ears turned reddish at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yun Yan raised her head and saw her like this, so she laughed at her:
"You always have such a stern face, others think there is something wrong between us."
Lin Aoxue pursed her lips and did not answer.Yun Yan shook her head, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic. She put down Lin Aoxue's arm and wanted to continue walking, but Lin Aoxue suddenly said:
"Give me your bracelet."
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously.
"I'll tie it for you."
Lin Aoxue turned her eyes away, but said so in her mouth.
Yun Yan laughed happily, and obediently handed the light blue bracelet to Lin Aoxue, then lifted the cuffs slightly, revealing a white wrist.
Lin Aoxue swallowed her saliva, and suddenly her heart beat like a drum.
She gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressed her nervousness, focused on the bracelet, and tied it carefully for Yunyan.Yunyan's complexion was very fair, and the light blue knotted knots adorned her wrists, making her skin more radiant.
"It's really beautiful."
Lin Aoxue gave a sincere admiration.Yun Yan smiled, raised Yang Lin Aoxue's arm lightly, and said softly:
"You look good like this."
Lin Aoxue felt that her face was almost burning, she didn't dare to look directly into Yunyan's eyes, fearing that the emotions hidden in her heart would escape from her eyes by herself.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a small stall, and saw a lot of colored paper and window grilles on the stall, her eyes lit up, she took Yunyan and walked over quickly, and under Yunyan's puzzled gaze, she bought a large stack of colored paper.
"Why did you buy this?"
Yun Yan asked her.
The corner of Lin Aoxue's lips curled into a slight smile, she weighed the colored paper in her hand, and said:
"Go back and cut some window grilles and stick them on your windows."
Yun Yan did not expect Lin Aoxue to think so much. The place where she lived was very deserted, because she was the only one with no servants or maids. She never thought of preparing these things for the New Year alone. care so much.
Yun Yan was both moved and novel. She didn't know that Lin Aoxue knew these skills, so she said:
"You know how to cut window grilles? Why don't you teach me!"
Lin Aoxue laughed heartily, her father knew how to make a lot of gadgets, she learned a lot when she was young, and when Yun Yan said that she wanted to learn, Lin Aoxue naturally wouldn't hide her secrets, and agreed wholeheartedly.
They continued to move forward, and stopped next to a peddler of a group of clay figurines. Lin Aoxue wanted to give Yunyan a clay figurine, but Yunyan asked the peddler to pinch Lin Aoxue's image, and the little clay figurine he pinched had half of his face. The mask, with its vivid appearance, made Yunyan amused.
The clay figurine was ready, Lin Aoxue paid the money, and Yun Yan held the little clay figurine in her hands, smiling.
But before they took two steps, a voice came from not far away, calling Lin Aoxue:
"Lin Qianhu, please stop."
Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Aoxue frowned, and Yun Yan blinked unexpectedly.
They turned around and saw that the person standing not far away was Bei Chenling.Lin Aoxue never thought that she would meet Bei Chenling here in Xishi. Bei Chenling is the princess of the clan prince's mansion. With such a noble status, why did she come to such a place?
Bei Chenling didn't wear her palace skirt, she changed into a relatively simple dress, and there were no guards behind her, so she didn't want to reveal her identity.
"Lin Aoxue has met His Royal Highness, but I don't know what His Royal Highness is looking for?"
Lin Aoxue's voice was so low that only Yunyan and Beichenling could hear it.Yun Yan also bowed and greeted Bei Chenling in a low voice.
Bei Chenling glanced at Yunyan behind Lin Aoxue. She thought she was wrong before, but she never expected that the woman with Lin Aoxue was really Yunyan.
But who Lin Aoxue was with, and why Yunyan was by Lin Aoxue's side, these things were not something she had to figure out.The reason why she suddenly called Lin Aoxue to stop was because she had something to ask.
"I don't know if Lin Qianhu has time now? The princess has something to ask."
Bei Chenling got straight to the point and didn't go around the bush.
Lin Aoxue frowned even more when she heard this. She didn't know what Bei Chenling wanted her to do, but considering that she was not alone today, she wanted to refuse directly.
But before she could speak, she suddenly felt Yunyan gently tug on her sleeve, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to ask again:
"What's the matter, Your Royal Highness?"
Bei Chenling glanced at Yunyan again, Yunyan's little action of pulling Lin Aoxue's sleeve just now fell into her eyes completely, Lin Aoxue's refusal was very obvious just now, but she changed her words under Yunyan's signal.
She sneered in her heart, this woman is really good at bewitching people's hearts, she is very good at pleasing men, Lin Aoxue only saw Yunyan at the clan's prince's residence yesterday, and she spoke for Yunyan, today she obeys her words and shows more favoritism.
While Bei Chenling despised Yunyan, she also looked down on Lin Aoxue by two points. The sympathy she felt for Lin Aoxue after hearing about Lin Aoxue's life experience yesterday gradually faded away.But Lin Aoxue's martial arts are very strong, and today's matter needs her help to be successful. After weighing it, she still said:
"To be honest with Lin Qianhu, there is a ring in front of the West Street. It is said that if you win the first place, you can get a set of calligraphy and painting. This calligraphy and painting is of great significance to this princess, but this princess came out today without an attendant. I want to invite Lin Qian households to help."
She wants that set of calligraphy and painting, but the people in the arena are very powerful, and she doesn't know martial arts. The most important thing is that if her father, Beichenhe, knows about this, he will definitely not allow it. Therefore, she dare not go back to the palace. Looking for someone, and meeting Lin Aoxue by chance this time, she thought of asking Lin Aoxue for help. If Lin Aoxue is willing to help, that set of calligraphy and painting will definitely be available.
When Lin Aoxue heard this, she thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Yunyan, Yunyan looked at her, and signaled her not to disobey Beichenling, Lin Aoxue sighed helplessly, and said:
"Your Highness, please lead the way."
Bei Chenling was overjoyed, she got Lin Aoxue's promise to help, and she didn't have time to care about the unknown relationship between Yunyan and Lin Aoxue, so she quickly took Lin Aoxue to the street ring.
The person on the stage has good martial arts, and has defeated more than ten challengers in a row.This ring competition is coming to an end. According to the regulations, if he can win [-] games in a row, he will be counted as the number one. The man on the stage has already won [-] games. As long as he persists for two more games, he will He is the leader of the arena.
Under Bei Chenling's signal, Lin Aoxue jumped onto the ring, and the faces of the people on the stage showed surprise. Lin Aoxue really looked too thin, which made him subconsciously feel that Lin Aoxue was extremely weak.But he also knew that judging people by their appearance was the most taboo during the journey of martial arts, so he didn't dare to underestimate Lin Aoxue.
After facing Lin Aoxue and performing the battle ceremony, the two each backed away a few steps.They fought each other for a few breaths, and in the end, it was unknown who made the move first, one made a move, and the other followed suit, and it was very quick.
This kid's martial arts are indeed good, and he can be evenly matched with Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue was also aroused when she met her opponent, but she hurt her hand yesterday, so it was inevitable that she would be hindered. move.
Therefore, Lin Aoxue used her uninjured left hand to fight against this man with one hand, but the man felt that Lin Aoxue underestimated others, and under the resentment, the offensive became more and more fierce, while Lin Aoxue was mostly on the defensive. Frowning, a little worried.
Bei Chenling was a little flustered. Could it be that even Lin Aoxue couldn't win this ring? She had heard from her father that Lin Aoxue was extremely brave when she was at the border. She had great expectations, but she never thought it would be like this.
After a while, she realized that Lin Aoxue always used one-handed moves, and she belatedly remembered that Lin Aoxue was injured yesterday in the palace to save Bei Chenhe. It was a little bit reluctant to play in the battle with injuries, and it was difficult for her to force others.
Bei Chenling sighed silently, if she didn't have the chance to get that set of paintings and calligraphy today, she would have to look for another chance in the future to see if she could negotiate with this person and let him transfer it.
Just when Bei Chenling's emotions were fluctuating and his thoughts were chaotic, the battle situation on the stage changed again. The man attacked many times, but Lin Aoxue calmly followed through with his moves. Can't break the defense.
After more than a hundred moves, he still failed to break through Lin Aoxue's defense. On the contrary, Lin Aoxue made two changes in the middle and almost knocked him off the ring.
When Lin Aoxue changed his move for the third time, the man saw that this move was aggressive, and the timing was so perfect that he couldn't retreat, so he suddenly floated and jumped out of the ring to avoid being injured by this palm.
"Hahaha! Your Excellency is a master of martial arts, I am willing to bow down to you!"
He laughed loudly, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Lin Aoxue was actually amused by this person's bright temperament, she also raised her palms and fists, and said loudly:
"Your Excellency is humble and accepts!"
As soon as this person withdrew, someone else came up to challenge him. Except for the previous person, Lin Aoxue never met anyone who could compete with him. Even with only one hand, she easily won fifteen rounds .
Lin Aoxue won the ring, the host was quite happy, and handed over the set of calligraphy and painting as a prize to Lin Aoxue as promised.But when this thing unfolded in front of Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly.
She discovered that this set of calligraphy and painting was her father's early practice work, and was later donated by her father to others. After her family fell, the things that were sent by the general Zhen Guo in the past naturally lost their value. In order to get rid of the relationship with her father, the old friend sold those things at a very low price.
It's just that she didn't expect that after many years, she would see such a well-preserved set of paintings and calligraphy again.
There was a lot of voices in the audience, Lin Aoxue quickly came back to her senses, she immediately suppressed the look of astonishment on her face, took the object with slightly trembling hands, thanked the host, and walked off the ring amidst the cheers of the audience .
Bei Chenling looked very happy when she got the calligraphy and painting. She thanked Lin Aoxue again, took off the valuable jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to Lin Aoxue without hesitation, as a thank you for what she did today.Complexity flashed across Lin Aoxue's eyes, and then she was overwhelmed by pain and hatred.
The unpredictable gaze quickly returned to silence and indifference, she glanced at the jade pendant in Bei Chenling's hand, and shook her head with a cold face:
"You can't do it like your Highness."
She didn't understand why Bei Chenling was like this, she and her father plotted against her father back then, but now she still uses these little tricks, who is showing this superficial skill?
She was afraid that she would not be able to restrain the anger in her heart when she looked at Bei Chenling's seemingly innocent face again, so she didn't stay for long, said that she had something important to do, and asked His Highness to enjoy it by herself, then turned around and left quickly up.
Yunyan was greatly surprised. Although Lin Aoxue was indifferent to others in the past, she would never show her face to others, let alone the honorable princess.
She blinked, feeling extremely helpless, bowed to Beichen Lingfu, and quickly followed Lin Aoxue.
The jade pendant that Bei Chenling handed over was still hanging in the air, she stared at Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan's back in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while.After a while, she put away the jade pendant, and left West Market holding the calligraphy and painting with a complicated expression.
Yun Yan followed behind Lin Aoxue, her expression was also quite strange, she lamented that Lin Aoxue was so daring, even the princess of the clan's prince's mansion dared to flirt with others.
She couldn't figure out why Lin Aoxue was angry, she just thought, maybe it was because Lin Aoxue didn't want to help Bei Chenling fight in the ring, so she kept holding back her dissatisfaction, and finally burst out suddenly.
Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty. Lin Aoxue didn't want to help at first, but because of her persuasion earlier, Lin Aoxue reluctantly agreed. She took two quick steps and called out:
"Aoxue?"
Lin Aoxue stopped in her tracks, and when she turned her head and saw Yunyan looking at her worriedly, she understood that she had lost her composure earlier.She pursed her lips tightly, her face was still in a daze, Yunyan looked at her sideways, and said:
"If you don't want to flatter, then you can refuse these things in the future."
It's just that people who are too upright are always easy to suffer.
But Lin Aoxue is different from her in nature, Lin Aoxue has always been like this, if it is someone else, it will be fine, but she does not want to see Lin Aoxue change herself because of the world, anyway, Lin Aoxue will go back to the north after the next year, that battlefield, maybe it will be better Suitable for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue sighed softly, with a look of distress on her face, and turned to look at Yunyan:
"Yan'er, what will happen if I offend Prince Zong?"
Yun Yan didn't doubt that there was him, she just thought that Lin Aoxue really didn't understand, so she explained to Lin Aoxue:
"In the capital, no one dares to offend him. If you don't seek fame and fortune, but just guard the border with peace of mind and don't want to go any further, then what happened today is irrelevant."
Yunyan really thinks for Lin Aoxue, so she analyzes this matter very objectively. If Lin Aoxue is offended by this, she has nothing to do. There are some things that others may not tell Lin Aoxue, but Lin Aoxue should know.
"The Prince Zong is very powerful. If you can get the help of the Prince Zong, then you will be able to develop more smoothly even in the northern border. You only know that the Prince Zong has no military power, but you don't understand that many things cannot be just Look at the appearance."
This is the end of Yun Yan's words, what she said today is enough, if she goes on, she will definitely overstep the rules, but it depends on whether Lin Aoxue is willing to listen.Therefore, Yunyan didn't go into details with Lin Aoxue about the more detailed things. In the end, she stared into Lin Aoxue's eyes and said softly:
"If you can trust me, listen to me."
Lin Aoxue fell silent, she guessed that the forces behind Yunyan must also be on the side of Prince Zong, otherwise she would not have said something like "you can't just look at appearances" about Prince Zong who seems to have no military power.
In the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, there is also an undercurrent. In the struggle of many giants, anyone who has something to do with it has to stand in line. No one can stay out of it, not even Yunyan, but I don’t know who the prince is supporting. The prince, or, he actually doesn't want to help anyone.
Although Lin Aoxue has not returned to the capital for ten years, she is not completely clear about the situation in the capital.
The emperor was in his prime, but his sons had already started fighting for power. Both Bei Chenlong and Bei Chenhe were relatives of the emperor. To the emperor, his threat was far less than that of Bei Chenlong who held a heavy army.
If the border barbarians were not fierce, brave and good at fighting, and there were not many experts in Beijing, Bei Chenlong would not have the military power alone, forming a situation of dominance in the northern border.And this time the emperor sent the third prince on the grounds of heavy losses at the border, and his purpose was also to weaken the phenomenon of Bei Chenlong's integrity at the border.
For these undercurrents hidden under the peace, Lin Aoxue's heart is like a mirror, but she doesn't plan to step into this muddy water for the time being. There are many princes who want to win over Beichenlong. Whether the third prince can successfully leave Beijing and reach the northern border is still a question. unknown number.
Lin Aoxue nodded, and agreed to Yunyan's words, Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, if Lin Aoxue would listen to her advice, it would be great.
As for today's matter, let's put it down for now. Bei Chenling asked Lin Aoxue first, so it would not have a serious impact.
After Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan came back from the market, they threw the colored paper they bought on the table. Yun Yan found the scissors and saw Lin Aoxue skillfully folded the colored paper a few times, and drew some strange patterns for her to use. After cutting with the scissors, and unfolding it again, small flowers of different shapes but extremely beautiful appeared.
Yun Yan was extremely surprised, she had only seen people downstairs making these things before, but she had never done it herself.
She asked Lin Aoxue to teach her, and Lin Aoxue also laughed, and taught Yunyan how to do it. The whole morning passed quickly, and the two of them worked together to make many window grilles. Yunyan was very happy, and found the paste These window grilles were stuck on the windows, and the deserted house suddenly became a little more angry.
