Lin Yu sat aside, drinking tea and snacks intently, pretending that he didn't hear anything. He secretly cursed in his heart that this unmarried couple was really stupid, and they talked all useless nonsense.
Lu Chi laughed in a low voice and asked, "How are you feeling today?"
Lin Weiwei quickly glanced at Lu Chi and replied with some reserve: "It's okay."
"It's just okay?" Lu Chi smiled silently: "My mood couldn't be better."
Lin Weiwei responded shyly: "Actually, I'm very happy too."
... Lin Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and continued to drink tea silently. However, the originally fragrant tea tasted a bit sour for some reason.
Well, it must be because his teeth are sore.
In the eyes of the affectionate young man and woman, they could only see each other and had no time to care about Lin Yu's expression.
"Sister Lin, have you written to Miss Xie San?" Lu Chi laughed softly: "When I entered the Lin Mansion just now, I happened to meet that black-faced maid."
Black-faced maid...
Lin Weiwei laughed dumbly: "Her name is Fuyu, she is sister Xie's personal maid. I wrote a letter to send to the palace yesterday, and today sister Xie sent a reply letter and a congratulatory gift."
Lu Chi casually asked with a smile: "Oh? What did she write in the letter?" He then joked softly: "It must be full of congratulations and instructions for our engagement."
Lin smiled slightly.
Of course there are congratulations. There are also hidden reminders that are not revealed.
However, these hidden worries should never be told to Lu Chi.
Lin Wei showed a slightly shy smile, her beautiful face was like a dewy flower, delicate and bright.
Lu Chi was so distracted that he couldn't remember what he said or asked, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand. Before he could touch Lin Weiwei's hand, Lin Yu, who had been drinking tea and eating snacks, suddenly coughed heavily.
Lu Chi: "..."
Lin Weiwei: "..."
Lin Weiwei's cheeks turned red, and Lu Chi wasn't much better, with a look of embarrassment on his face. The two looked at each other, their hearts trembling, and they quickly shifted their gazes.
Lin Weiwei looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and Lu Chi looked at the teacup on the table.
After Lin Yu coughed, there was no movement again and he continued to eat and drink.
…
After a while, Lin Weiwei opened his mouth to break the silence: "Brother Lu, have you told your classmates and friends about your engagement?"
Lu Chi was unprepared and said with a smile: "Well, both Li Mo and Sheng Xuan knew about it and used it as an excuse to buy me drinks five or six times."
Lin Weiwei glanced at Lu Chi and asked casually: "Does His Highness the Fourth Prince also know?"
Lu Chi nodded: "His Highness has known for a long time. However, His Highness has been in a bad mood recently and returns to the palace every day after school. The three of us go to the restaurant, but His Highness never comes together."
Yes, if the fourth prince really had a strange feeling for Lu Chi, he would grit his teeth when he saw Lu Chi's engagement. How could he be in the mood to "celebrate"?
Lin Weiwei fell silent with complicated emotions.
Lu Chi was so immersed in the joy of a lifelong mutual love that he didn't even notice Lin Weiwei's slight strangeness: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been having bad luck recently and has been reprimanded by the Emperor many times. Moreover, Concubine Li is still here.
Being grounded, His Highness the Fourth Prince cannot visit him if he wants to, so no wonder he is in a bad mood."
News about the happenings in the harem can never be hidden from those who care about it.
Concubine Li and her son suffered setbacks one after another, and the Holy Family was not as good as before. Lin Weiwei also heard about this.
Lin Weiwei wished that the Fourth Prince would be in ruins. However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she earnestly warned Lu Chi: "Brother Lu, I know that you are on good terms with His Highness the Fourth Prince, so I am particularly concerned about his situation."
"It's just that the position of the crown prince has not yet been determined, and there are undercurrents among the empresses in the palace. It is hard to say how the princes will treat each other. You'd better keep a little distance from His Highness the Fourth Prince! This will also prevent him from getting involved in the future."
Lu Chi smiled helplessly: "To tell you the truth, my grandfather also told me the same thing."
"It's just that His Highness and I have been classmates for several years and have been on good terms with each other. How can we deliberately alienate him just because he has lost power? If we act like this, how is it any different from those villains who follow the trend of others and flatter others and suppress others?"
Then, he said sternly: "I promise you, His Highness the Fourth Prince and I only have a personal relationship. I will never interfere with the Tian family's matter of establishing a heir, and I don't have the ability to interfere."
Lu Chi has a handsome face, is elegant and gentle, and is famous for his gentle and good temper.
But a good temper does not necessarily mean that he has a weak temperament.
On the contrary, Lu Chi had a trough in his chest and was quite independent-minded.
Lin Weiwei likes exactly this kind of Lu Chi.
Listening to his deep voice and looking at his handsome and firm face, Lin Weiwei's thoughts were swirling in her heart, like a mess that she couldn't solve even if she wanted to.
After a long while, Lin Weiwei said: "Brother Lu, it's good if he knows what's going on."
Lu Chi smiled apologetically: "I know you have good intentions and are thinking of me wholeheartedly. However, my nature is like this, and it is difficult to change it."
Lin cheered up slightly and smiled at Lu Chi: "I was just talking casually."
Then he wrinkled his nose playfully: "Don't tell His Highness the Fourth Prince what I said to you today. Otherwise, he will think that I deliberately instigated him!"
Lu Chi immediately smiled and said: "You are thinking about me wholeheartedly, so you are reminding me. How can I say random things! Don't worry!"
…
Lin Yu couldn't bear it anymore and coughed heavily: "Are you two finished talking? I'm almost full! I probably won't be able to eat anything tonight."
Lu Chi: "..."
Lin Wei smiled and rolled his eyes at Lin Yu: "Who told you to eat endlessly?"
Lin Yu ate the whole plate of pastries and drank a pot of tea. It would be strange if he couldn't hold it all!
Lin Yu rolled his eyes: "You two keep talking to each other. If I don't eat and drink, I won't be able to stand it for a long time."
Lin Weiwei, no matter how eloquent she was, was blushing in embarrassment.
Lu Chi couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and said, "I'm leaving now." Before leaving, he gave Lin Weiwei a loving look: "Sister Lin, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Lin Yu: "..."
Lin Yu quickly made up his mind that if Lu Chi came again tomorrow, he would stay away and let his delicious sixth brother accompany Lu Chi.
After Lu Chi left, Lin Wei Wei sat there for a moment with a blushing face, then got up and returned to his boudoir.
Xie Mingxi's letter was quietly placed on the table.
Lin Weiwei had read the letter twice, and now she couldn't help but pick up the letter and read it again. The last sentence stood out in front of her eyes:
Sister Lin, may all my hidden worries and worries vanish into nothingness. May you and Lu Chi be in love forever and never leave.
Lin Weiwei silently clenched the letter in her hand, a determined light flashing in her eyes.
