Lingfei raised his eyes and looked at Situ Chen gently, weighing his words in his heart. How capable was he to protect her from the clutches of the fire fox?
Situ Chen raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Ling Fei noncommittally: "You don't have to believe it, or you can give it a try."
Lingfei pursed his lips and gave a hum as a sign of agreement to Situ Chen. He took out a drop-shaped jasper pendant from his arms, placed it casually on the bedside, and said lightly: "I don't have anything valuable, so I'll give this to you to play with.
Remember to wear it”
Lingfei lowered his head and saw that the emerald jade was of the highest quality, but it was too small. It was extremely shabby to give such a thing away to someone who is a majestic prince.
But after all, this was the first gift Lingfei received after leaving her parents. She still picked it up with a smile: "Thank you."
Situ Chen stopped talking and turned to leave
Lingfei put the pendant on her pillow and fell asleep again. In her dream, someone seemed to be wiping her sweat with a wet cloth.
Lingfei opened his eyes alertly and saw Murong Yan's beautiful face
"How...why is it you?" Lingfei sat up and looked at Murong Yan in surprise.
Murong Yan glanced at her apologetically: "Sorry, I woke up the princess."
Lingfei shook his head and pushed his hair back: "I was about to wake up."
Murong Yan reached out to touch her forehead distressedly and said softly: "It's still a little hot. The princess has been wronged." She stared at Lingfei for two seconds and continued: "Don't blame the prince for being cruel. If it weren't for Princess Ningxiang,
The prince has died a long time ago, so..."
Lingfei opened his eyes curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Murong Yan sighed: "I said it casually, just listen to it, don't go out and say that the princess came from afar, and you don't know the depth. Situ Ningxiang is the most beloved princess of the emperor. No one in the palace can
Don’t dare to offend her”
Lingfei shook his head and said, "I'm not asking that. You just said that without Princess Ningxiang, the prince would have died a long time ago. What do you mean?"
Murong Yan looked around, then lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty was once the Queen's direct descendant, and he was very clever since he was a child. At one time, everyone thought he would be established as the Crown Prince. Later, the Queen was deposed, and the Prince was also affected. Although he lost his
There is a bright future, but there are still many people who want to beat the drowned dog, and they have not stopped until now. If it weren’t for Princess Ningxiang’s protection, it would be impossible for the prince to even think about two days of leisure.”
Lingfei frowned in surprise. She didn't expect that Situ Ningxiang and Situ Chen had such a connection... She took a deep breath and asked Murong Yan: "What did Queen Wang commit in the first place? To make the emperor so angry?
"
Murong Yan turned pale and shook her head repeatedly: "Princess, please don't ask about this matter. The prince never tells anyone, and I don't know. I just heard some unfounded rumors. The palace is very secretive about this matter. It is said that someone was there before."
When Concubine Xiao heard her gossiping in the palace, she was beaten to death on the spot."
Lingfei stuck out his tongue: "Okay, I won't ask."
Murong Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lingfei: "Then Princess, have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore. I brought some nourishing medicine and put it at Huandong's place. You can use it when Princess recovers."
Lingfei showed a sincere smile: "Thank you"
Murong Yan shook her head: "I should thank the princess. Apart from the prince, she is the only one who has been really kind to me."
Lingfei blinked awkwardly. She didn't know why Murong Yan came to such a conclusion.
Lingfei lay in bed for two days, and her health was getting better. She was just about to make up for her belated old age, when the person who refused to let her calm down came again.
"Where is your princess?" Situ Ningxiang's voice echoed outside the Herborist Courtyard
Lingfei rubbed her temples with a headache. She should think of some way to repair her relationship with the most favored princess in the country... She and Situ Chen are now grasshoppers tied on a rope. If he is here,
There are three advantages and two disadvantages in the palace fight. As a princess, it is difficult for her to be alone. She cannot lose the shield of Situ Ningxiang no matter what.
Situ Ningxiang ran into Lingfei's room carelessly and looked at her provocatively: "Third sister-in-law, you are here to celebrate the New Year. Why are you lying on the bed so sickly? Do you dare to get up and compete with me in shuttlecock?"
Lingfei raised her eyebrows and kicked the shuttlecock... She thought about it and said with a smile: "Kicking the shuttlecock is so boring, why don't we compete and do tricks?"
"What kind of trick?"
Lingfei smiled and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms. He used his internal energy and lifted the silk scarf up. It floated in mid-air. Situ Ningxiang opened his eyes wide and looked at it in disbelief. Lingfei slowly let the silk scarf float.
On her head, covering Ningxiang's face squarely
Situ Ningxiang pulled off the silk handkerchief and checked it back and forth: "How did you do it?"
Lingfei shrugged and smiled without saying a word. It seemed that the little princess loved to play and did whatever she wanted. It was not difficult at all.
"Tell me, tell me, how did you do it?"
Lingfei looked at her pretending to be mysterious and said, "I'll make another one for the princess." After saying that, she turned around and took a pendant from the dressing table, preparing to do another magic trick of moving objects through the air.
Situ Ningxiang frowned, staring straight at the pendant, her mouth raised.
Lingfei saw Situ Ningxiang's weird expression and couldn't help but glance at the pendant. This was what Situ Chen gave her a few days ago. She didn't think there was anything strange about it.
Situ Ningxiang snorted, and the boss said unhappily: "Come on, put it away, I won't embarrass you."
"What did you say?" Lingfei asked puzzledly.
Situ Ningxiang said coldly: "I have one too. My brother said he would only give it to his most important people. I understand what he meant. You don't need to show it off."
Lingfei covered her chest and was so horrified that she couldn't speak. Only then did she realize that Situ Ningxiang had an inconspicuous pendant on her waist. What did Situ Chen mean by giving this gift to her?
Seeing that Situ Ningxiang was silent and the atmosphere was about to become cold again, Lingfei quickly changed the subject: "Princess, let me do another trick for you."
Lingfei asked Huandong to bring some pieces of paper and started making a deck of cards. Situ Ningxiang had never seen unpredictable card magic before and was so fascinated by it that she immediately forgot about the pendant.
She excitedly grabbed Lingfei's hand and said, "Teach me quickly. If you don't teach me, I will go back and ask my father to ask you to teach me."
Lingfei almost laughed out loud. She suppressed her laughter and said: "Princess, it's not impossible for me to teach you, but there is a condition. You have to teach me something."
"What do you want me to teach you?"
"It's time to play the piano. I heard that the princess plays the piano well."
"You can't even play the piano? Why are you so stupid!"
"Hey, why are you laughing at me!" Lingfei pouted and glared at Situ Ningxiang, making Ningxiang giggle.
Situ Chen narrowed his eyes outside the room. This Song Lingfei had figured out Ningxiang's temper so quickly. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about how these two girls would get along.
