Looking at how Lu Xinlan was dressed today, Lian Ruoyi kindly advised: "Sister, you'd better change your clothes. The prince won't like to see you like this."
Lu Xinlan didn't think anything was wrong, and said innocently and cutely: "It's okay, maybe after he fell in love with me, he forgot about that Hua Gardenia girl."
Lian Ruoyi didn't say anything, knowing that this silly woman was having her own whims. If this could tie up Ling Jiyun's heart, then she would be willing to dress up like this every day.
Finally hearing the sound of horse hooves, they all descended the steps. The person they had been thinking about all night was about to appear in front of them. Lian Ruoyi was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. When she saw Ling Jiyun turned over and dismounted, her eyes surged.
jumped out of my eyelids.
"We sincerely welcome the prince back to his residence——" A group of servants knelt on the ground to say hello.
Ling Jiyun walked up the steps and said without warmth: "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——."
Song Bo was the housekeeper, standing at the front, frowning and looking back from time to time, as if looking for someone. Situ Ling said angrily: "What are you looking for?"
Song Bo bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Old slave, it's just - just -."
Feng Qing sighed and said softly to him: "Gardenia is not back."
Obviously seeing that his expression was gloomy, Feng Qing glanced sideways at Ling Jiyun who also heard what he said. He was still as cold as before, or even worse than before.
Songbo said: "Your Majesty, I have already arranged dinner."
Waved his hand: "No, go to the study."
Seeing that Ling Jiyun was busy doing business as soon as he returned home, Situ Ling felt happy.
When passing by Lian Ruoyi, Ling Jiyun stopped and looked ahead, and asked calmly: "How is your health?"
He was worried about himself, could it prove that he had a place for her in his heart? Lian Ruoyi's body was filled with tears, and she said with tears: "Thank you for your concern, my body is fine."
Seeing Ling Jiyun talking to Lian Ruoyi, Lu Xinlan strode forward and imitated Lian Ruoyi's appearance, and said, "I have met the prince."
Looking at Lu Xinlan's attire, Ling Jiyun frowned and said angrily: "Put on your clothes. How can you be so appropriately dressed like this? Humph——"
Lu Xinlan was stunned by the sudden shouting and scolding. She did not expect that two people who had not seen each other for half a year would start their opening remarks in this way. By the time she realized what was happening, Ling Jiyun had already walked away.
"Sister, don't take it to heart. The prince must have just come back. There are many things to do, so he will speak a little more seriously." Seeing the mist of grievance in Lu Xinlan's eyes, Lian Ruoyi comforted her.
"What? She got up early in the morning to dress up and get ready. Instead of praising her, he even criticized her. It's really too much. Uh--" Lu Xinlan threw herself into Lian Ruoyi's arms and cried loudly.
Lian Ruoyi patted her shoulder helplessly and said, "Silly sister, be careful what you say, otherwise the prince will blame you and you will suffer."
"That's right. I'm worse than that Hua Zhiniang. I've been married for so long and he has never looked at me." Lu Xinlan continued to accuse Ling Jiyun of being cruel and ruthless.
Since Gardenia appeared, when had he ever looked at her? Lian Ruoyi thought heartbrokenly, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
The study room, even though no one has been there for half a year, is still spotless.
Ling Jiyun sat on a chair and looked at the march map on the table. Among the several cities that Ling Jihua had recaptured, Ejiang was the most difficult to recapture.
"Jiyun, you just came back. You want to take a rest and study again tomorrow." Looking at Ling Jiyun's frown getting tighter, Feng Qing was a little worried that he was worrying too much.
Ling Jiyun said: "It's not too late. Qing, you go and make arrangements. I'll go to the military camp tomorrow to have a look."
"Hmm——." Situ Ling nodded, stroking his beard and said, "It's okay, let's stabilize the morale of the army first, and I'm afraid that Aoran City has also received news about your return to the border town, and they will probably take advantage of me.
We must be prepared to respond when we take action when the army recovers."
"Jiyun, what do you think their next move will be?" Feng Qing closed the jade fan and asked.
Looking at the march map, Ling Jiyun said: "It took us a month to capture Ejiang. Now Emperor Tingyan has taken it back. It is impossible to capture it in a short time. Fortunately, Dai City was not captured.
Take it back, in addition to going to the military camp tomorrow, send a flying pigeon to pass a letter to Li Zeming, telling him the news of my return to the city, so that he can calm down and deal with it carefully. "
"Hmm——." Feng Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I will arrange this."
"Master, among the cities taken back by Emperor Ting Yan, which city do you think is easier for us to capture again?" Ling Jiyun asked with a serious expression.
Situ Ling thought for a while and said: "Chi Pan should be the easiest to win now."
Ling Jiyun turned his sharp eyes and said with a sly smile: "If the master can think of it, Emperor Tingyan must also be able to think of it. I guess they are already ready and waiting for our army to go and die."
"Then what should we do?" Feng Qing asked.
Ling Jiyun stood up and said: "Chipan is in the north, and the closest to it is Xuexiang City. At this time, all the troops in Xuexiang City should be supplied to Chipan, so now there are only half of Chipan's troops. Let's take it by surprise.
Go against him, attack Xuexiang, and capture Chipan again."
"Okay, this is a good idea." Situ Ling's eyes shone, he was worthy of being his disciple, he was indeed invincible in terms of courage and strategy.
Ling Jiyun continued: "After taking down Chi Pan and Xuexiang, we will attack east and west to take down..."
Night - silently running towards dawn, with the white fish belly rising in the sky, finally ushered in a ray of light.
The sky was blue and cloudless, and the red sun wished it could dissipate all its heat. The wind blowing against my ears became warmer.
The mulberry leaves in the yard lost their morning spirit, and hung down listlessly with their heads lowered. The song of cicadas resounded throughout the mountain village. They wanted to bring excitement to the surrounding tranquility, but they were self-defeating and failed to bring tranquility.
Come and feel restless and irritable.
The adults were all sitting in the house, shaking their fans. Only the children were not afraid of the summer heat. They appeared in the village in groups of three or five, and from time to time they heard the laughter of hip-hop.
Gardenia was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the tent ceiling. It had been more than a month since he left. She thought she had learned to be strong and could face everything calmly even without him by her side. But habit is a terrible thing.
, every time I look at the empty space beside me, my heart feels sour and suffocating.
Since when did she notice that there was something strange in the dishes Cuihua sent, and she couldn't find a reason why Cuihua wanted to harm her. There was also something strange in the dishes sent by Yulan, so how could she explain the reason why Yulan wanted to kill her? If not
I grew up taking medicinal baths, and my initial carelessness may have cost me my life long ago.
