But only Gardenia saw the cold, soul-stirring coldness flashing in those dark pupils. Is this what Feng Qing said he was pretending to be? Suddenly I felt that he was so pitiful and that he was so tired from living. Ling Jiyun, are you really
Where are you?
Songbai waved his hand, and each little master got a beautiful brocade box in his hand. After opening it, everyone was filled with surprises. There was a jade ring in the brocade box, which was crystal clear and of high quality.
The jade ring in Lian Ruoyi's hand was extremely valuable and rare in the world. Everyone looked at it with envy, and Lian Ruoyi stole the show.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward——." The concubines were all happy and smiling. After all, there were not many opportunities to get something from Ling Jiyun.
Suddenly, there was a crashing sound on the sapphire ground, "Cang——". Everyone looked and saw that a concubine was too excited and lost her grip on the jade ring and dropped it to the ground. The jade ring instantly shattered into pieces.
"I deserve to die." She suddenly knelt on the ground, lowering her head in fear.
Looking at her trembling body, Ling Jiyun said coldly: "Get up, the king will not pursue her today."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." The concubine stood up and sat down again. The others carefully put the jade rings into the brocade box, but accidentally made a mistake.
Gardenia held the wooden ring in her sleeves, feeling a throbbing pain in her heart. She seemed to understand Ling Jiyun's intention, and she did not dare to look him in the eye, feeling guilty for her neglect.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, then Lian Ruoyi stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's eat the food, it's all cold."
Ling Jihua patted him on the shoulder and said: "Fourth Prince brother, you are really blessed. You are surrounded by so many beauties. Big brother is very envious of you. Why don't I be the city lord and you become the prince?"
Are you going to test him again? Ling Jiyun immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wang, my fourth brother would not dare to have such unjust thoughts."
"That's right, brother, have you drunk too much? The fourth brother doesn't care about the position of prince. Look at how he gets what he wants in the border town and how carefree he lives." Ling Jijie said pretending to be envious.
Doesn't this make it clear that he doesn't take the court seriously? Feng Qing continued: "You two princes don't know something. Although the prince is in charge of the border town, he doesn't dare to be negligent at all, otherwise he will not be responsible.
The emperor’s favor?”
"Okay, okay, you grown men, as soon as you get to the table, you say these things that we women can't understand." Lian Ruoyi laughed loudly and said: "Yun, you can't neglect my savior. Didn't we say
Do you want to thank Miss Gardenia properly?"
"Miss Lian, I said you don't need to thank me." Gardenia was a little uncomfortable with Lian Ruoyi like this. She always felt that there was something hidden under the calm surface, which made her very uneasy.
"No, I have to thank you anyway. Tell me, what do you want?"
I thought she would refuse, but this time she chose to remain silent. She seemed to have been thinking for a long time. She looked at Ling Jiyun and said, "Your Majesty, can you give Gardenia the beautiful pot of flowers in your study?"
Ling Jihua's heart skipped a beat. Did she know something? But if you think about it, it was impossible. How could she know.
Ling Jiyun wondered. When he said he wanted to give it to her in the morning, she didn't respond. What was the purpose of it now?
Lian Ruoyi asked: "Is Miss Gardenia talking about the pot of Lan Yeji?"
Gardenia nodded, and Lian Ruoyi smiled sheepishly: "I'm so sorry, I already asked Yun for that pot of Lan Yeji in the afternoon."
Lian Ruoyi's body has not fully recovered. If she breathes Lan Yeji again and is poisoned, the consequences will be disastrous. Gardenia said worriedly: "Miss Lian, can you ask me to give up my love?"
The two women were arguing over a pot of flowers. Everyone stopped using their glasses and chopsticks to watch as if they were watching a good show.
"This...?" Lian Ruoyi hesitated. It was not difficult to see that she was reluctant to part with it, not only because she liked the potted flower, but also because it belonged to Ling Jiyun and she could not tolerate it being placed in other women's yards.
Ling Jiyun glanced at Gardenia with a complex look, and said to Ling Jihua: "Brother Wang, does this Lan Yeji only have one pot?"
Ling Jihua smiled and said: "Yes, but it is the only one in the Western Region Country. Because this kind of flower does not exist in the Central Plains and is extinct in the Western Regions. The remaining pots were brought to the Central Plains by the princess as a dowry. I'm sorry, fourth brother.
I can’t help you this time.”
"Why does Miss Gardenia have to have that potted flower?" Lian Ruoyi's expression became a little stiff, and there was a hint of displeasure in her tone.
You can't say that the fragrance of that potted flower contains huge poison, so you should stay and study it yourself. Gardenia thought in embarrassment, Feng Qing pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Gardenia, since Miss Lian likes her, don't argue with her,
If you have the chance, my senior brother will take you everywhere to enjoy the flowers, okay?
"Brother, but..."
He held her hand tightly, understood what she meant, signaled her to stop talking, and said, "You girl, why do you still look like you haven't grown up?"
Thinking of the poison in Ling Jiyun, Gardenia's hands trembled. She wanted to get the flowers and study them, maybe prevent the poison before it happened, but now there was no chance. Her face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out in her hands. The wind was clear.
Frowning, he asked worriedly: "Zhi Niang, what's wrong with you?"
He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "I'm sorry, Gardenia is feeling a little unwell, so I have to excuse myself first."
He stood up and left in a panic, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other.
In the early morning, a light mist appeared, dimly reflecting everything around, and the oncoming wind brought a slight chill. Gardenia leaned against the window edge and looked up at the bright stars in the sky, feeling like she had never felt so cold before.
I was so worried.
With a sigh, the door behind her seemed to be pushed open. Qiu Ling, that girl, had told her that she was fine, so she didn't have to come over to check on her. Gardenia said softly: "Qiu Ling, it's very late, I'm really fine, you don't have to
Come here again, go back and rest."
Hearing the sound of the door closing, he sighed a little indifferently. Unexpectedly, a pair of warm hands were wrapped around his waist, and a soft breath came from his ears.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked, "Why don't you rest?"
Ling Jiyun put his head on her shoulder and whispered: "You haven't had any rest either."
Gardenia didn't say a word, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility. Ling Jiyun whispered ambiguously: "Do you miss me?"
After realizing what he meant, she turned around and looked at his tired face, which was full of temptation. She pushed him away in embarrassment and said, "You're not serious. Do you have a problem with me at this late hour?"
Ling Jiyun turned around and sat on the stool, changed his arrogant expression and said, "I'll get the things."
I was stunned, what did I owe him? "Gardenia doesn't understand."
Ling Jiyun frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "On my birthday today, everyone in the palace gave me gifts, but you were the only one who didn't express your gratitude. If you want me to come and ask for it from you, now I
It’s already here, shouldn’t you take it out?”
Gardenia made a robe and embroidered a belt, but she didn't say it was a birthday gift for him, let alone where did he know about it?
Seeing Gardenia's wandering mind, Ling Jiyun stood up and pretended to leave and said: "If you don't give it, forget it. Just pretend that I have never been here."
Why is this man so childish? Is he still the cold-faced Prince Ku City Master who is feared by everyone? He pulled his sleeves and stared at him helplessly. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Wait a minute."
