Jingyi asked Lin Zhaoyan to enter the room, led her to a bamboo and wooden chair and sat down, and brewed her another cup of bamboo leaf tea.

"This water is made from the snow I picked from the red plums. There is a fragrance of plums. You can try it."

Lin Zhaoyan took a sip. The cold fragrance of plum blossoms mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves was sweet and mellow in the mouth, and it was even more fragrant and richer than the best Longjing.

"It's really good tea. There is also a red plum tree in my yard. I'll try it tomorrow."

Jingyi smiled slightly, and brought a cup of tea into her mouth. After savoring, she slowly said: "Good tea needs to be tasted. Although the plum blossom leaves are fragrant and mellow, they cannot be sweet. The taste afterwards is bitter, which is far less fragrant than the East Lake Longjing cheeks."

Lin Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the mouth was indeed bitter.

"If you smell it again later, the fragrance of this tea will soon disappear."

Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but smile and said, "Life is like tea, be calm and right? You just came here and you told me the great truth. I thought you had learned some craftsmanship!"

Jingyi shook her head and laughed, then silenced her face, "I'm not kidding you."

Lin Zhaoyan was stunned and heard her say in a deep voice: "Zhaoyan, life is like tea. You are right. You can't just look at the surface of anything. Just like this plum blossom tea, Chuchu saw the bright color and tasted it fragrant. But only after drinking it, you will know that everything is just an illusion of the magician royal family."

"There is a filthy behind any bright and beautiful place. At this time, you must learn the word "save"!" After saying that, he raised his hand and sprinkled all the plum blossom tea that had not yet been drunk in the white porcelain cup on the ground. The water stains spread on the mud, moistening the gladiolus standing beside her. Then she said again: "If you want to give up, you can only be "save."

Lin Zhaoyan looked at the gladiolus in a daze, and after a while, he raised his eyes and said, "Zhaoyan doesn't understand what the master means."

"You are a smart child." Master Jingyi looked at Lin Zhaoyan quietly and said slowly: "You will not have heard of the Queen Mother's intention to summon girls from various prefectures to the palace."

Lin Zhaoyan suddenly realized it, but then frowned.

This matter has not been announced in the palace, but Mrs. Lin only learned about the news in advance because of Concubine Jing. How could Master Jingyi know?

Just as he was confused, he heard Jingyi ask, "Zhaoyan, do you want to enter the palace?"

She almost subconsciously shook her head, "I don't want to."

In fact, if she hadn't had that dream, she might have thought about it. After all, she was just going to the palace to accompany the empress dowager, not being a concubine, so how could she have so many intrigues? If she could win the favor of the empress dowager, her status would be very different.

She is also a normal woman, so how could she not have any vanity?

But since she had that dream, even the little bit of her thoughts disappeared, and all that was left was deep repulsion and disgust.

Jingyi then smiled with relief, and then said quietly: "It's good if you don't want it, it's good if you don't want it. This deep palace is not as beautiful as your little girl imagined. If you are not careful, you will even lose your life! Do you really think the prince..."

Speaking of this, I realized that I had made a mistake and stopped talking.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned. She had known Master Jingyi for three years and had not met for ten times, but she had never asked about her identity. Why did she see now that she seemed to have something to do with the palace?

She wanted to ask, but she swallowed the words again. Master Jingyi didn't say that it must be her reason. She didn't need to inquire about other people's secrets, just like she also had secrets that she didn't want to be known.

The two of them talked about their son for a while before Lin Zhaoyan said goodbye reluctantly.

"In a turbulent time, you must pay attention to safety and do not meddle in other people's business, which will make you feel slutty." Master Jingyi was very dissatisfied with her saying that she wanted to help Lin Ruoyan avoid the trouble.

In her life dictionary, there are always only four words: "Practice and protect yourself". Helping others is still a person who is not in dealing with you. That's called being careless!

She admires Lin Zhaoyan's cleverness and intelligence the most, but she also dislikes her sympathy the most!

Lin Zhaoyan just smiled, not saying much.

She knew what Master Jingyi meant, but she also had her own principles and persistence. She really couldn't ignore the people close to her and let them die on their own.

However, she will never overestimate herself. If she can help, she will help her. If she really can’t do anything, she will not show off her ability and do anything to repay evil with kindness and harm others.

After leaving the plum blossom forest, Lin Zhaoyan returned as usual, and must go into the house when Old Lady Lin and the others come back.

Along the way, I met several girls from aristocratic families who were going to see flowers in the plum forest. They nodded and passed by, and walked to an octagonal pavilion for summer cooldown, but were stopped.

"The girl in white in front, please stay."

Lin Zhaoyan subconsciously turned around and saw three or four old women surrounding a kind and white-haired old man with white hair waving in the latest chapter of the foolish media.

Seeing that they were all old people, Lin Zhaoyan put down his guard, walked forward slowly, and said respectfully: "I wonder what the old people call me?"

An old woman wearing an indigo coat next to her apologized: "I dare to ask this girl, how did Meilin leave?"

"Turn over this octagonal pavilion, walk straight along the west road, and then you will arrive north." Lin Zhaoyan replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss." The people thanked her and were about to leave, but the old man in the middle suddenly said, "This girl is very polite, Su Xin, give her a reward."

Lin Zhaoyan's eyes had always been low, but when he heard this, he subconsciously looked up.

This look is amazing!

Although the old man was dressed simply, he showed a majestic look on his body. At first glance, he saw that he was the head of a wealthy and high-ranking house. But these were not the key points. The key points were that there was a faint black air surrounding her head and her eyebrows were standing upside down, as if there was a bloody disaster.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned and asked subconsciously: "Dare you ask this old lady, are you coming from the east?"

"How do you know?" the old woman with an indigo jacket asked in surprise.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned and remained silent.

It is said that purple qi comes from the east, but this time it comes from the east is a disaster.

She wanted to remind her, but when she thought of the fate of the magician Yu Botong, she felt scared and was as cold as a cicada.

But if not...

Lin Zhaoyan looked at the old man's kind and harmonious eyebrows and couldn't help but think of his grandmother in his previous life.

She was diagnosed with a serious illness when she was ten years old. Her parents who reorganized her family after divorce rarely took care of her. Only her grandmother was always by her side and said to her in the warmest voice in the world: "Nannan, don't be afraid, grandma will be with you."

But later, my grandmother left her early due to overwork and overwork.

A tear couldn't help but slide down her eyes. She hadn't thought about the past life for a long time.

It’s not that I’m not feeling heartless, but that I feel pain when I think about it. The situation in my previous life was much more painful than in this life.

This is why she is so indifferent to the status quo.

"Old lady, I can't walk east, so I think about it." Lin Zhaoyan mustered up the courage to say these words, and without caring about their reactions, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

When she walked away, the old woman with the indigo long coat said, "Empress Dowager, this..."

The queen mother narrowed her eyes and saw the white figure gradually disappearing in front of her eyes. She slowly said: "It's better to believe that she has something than to believe that she has nothing, and there is not only one way back to the palace."

Everyone should be.

The Queen Mother said again: "Su Xin, go and check which girl she is from."
