Jiaochu

"Lingxi, don't blame the second brother. In fact, it's not easy for the second brother." Ye Xingye said.

Hearing the last sentence, Ye Lingxi felt that it sounded familiar. She had said this before, and her mood was a bit complicated, "Third brother, my mother and concubine are my bottom line. No matter who it is, if they are harmful to my mother and concubine, I will never let it go." .”

Hearing such firm words, Ye Xingye was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him, "Lingxi, you..." He hesitated for a while, made up his mind, and asked, "Has the imperial concubine done anything? "After asking, he couldn't help but become nervous again, and even a little scared, fearing that the brother and sister would really turn against each other.

Ye Lingxi took a deep breath silently and was about to speak when she saw the look in her third brother's eyes like "I'm nervous, I'm scared, I don't want to listen, I want to listen, I'm so confused", she took another deep breath silently and said, "If you trust me, the Imperial Concubine Mother and concubine, you won’t listen to other people’s nonsense.”

It turns out that this is the case. Ye Xingye breathed a sigh of relief and blurted out, "It would be great if my father didn't have the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard. I will definitely only marry one girl in the future." After saying this, he blushed.

Ye Lingxi stood on tiptoes and raised her hand to pat his shoulder, as if to say: Well done to third brother!Ye Xingye scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and changed the subject, "Would you like to go see Gale? It listens to me now."

"Isn't it going to step on the third brother's head again this time?"

"Well...it was an accident last time, and it will definitely not happen this time."

……

A few days later, Xiaoluzi came to Weiyang Palace and whispered a few words to Lingdang. Lingdang went to report a few words to Ye Lingxi quietly. Then Hehe went to tell Zhuer that the Third Highness was fine. The princess was asked to check out a novelty. Zhuer told Concubine Lan, who readily agreed.

Then, the master and servant followed Xiaoluzi to Ganquan Palace.

Half an hour later, Ye Xingye sneaked to the palace gate with Ye Lingxi. Hu Yuhan's uncle Zheng Hua happened to be on duty today, and Hu Yuhan was also there. When he saw the two coming, he waved and a carriage drove over from the roadside. After stopping, the three of them got on the carriage as soon as they came out.

"Third brother, where are we going?" Ye Lingxi opened the curtain on the car window and looked out, seeing the carriage heading out of the city.

"We will know when we get to the princess." Hu Yuhan and Ye Xingye looked at each other and smiled, as if they were "connected".

After the carriage left the city, they arrived at a bamboo forest. It was the same bamboo forest where a group of people gathered around to grill fish last year.

There is a river in front of the bamboo forest. Last time Ye Xingye walked from the river with a fish in his hand.

Before Ye Lingxi got off the carriage, she saw acquaintances outside the carriage window. In addition to Hu Qian'er, Zhou Jing and Zhao Ce were also there, but this time Yanfei and Su Shi were not there.

After getting off the carriage, she looked around and asked, "Aren't Brother Su and Brother Yan here?" Hu Qian'er came over and said, "Aunt Su took Sister Wan to the temple to offer incense today, and Brother Shi should have gone with her. ." Hu Yuhan said that Yan Fei also went with him. Ye Lingxi felt a little strange, but considering that the two families were in-laws, it was not unusual to go to burn incense together.Yanfei's mother, Su Hui, was the sister of Su Shangshu. Since Yanfei's father, Yanhai, was gone, she moved to a temple on the mountain outside the city to worship Buddha and no longer interfered with the affairs of the government.

Ye Lingxi had also heard about it, but she had never had the chance to meet the eldest lady of the General's Mansion. In her last life, she had a bad relationship with Yan Fei, so naturally she didn't pay much attention to the eldest lady. She didn't know when she would see him in this life. , the image she created in her mind was of a well-educated, dignified, gentle, and gentle-hearted beauty. She seemed to have unconsciously brought in the temperament and beauty of her mother-in-law.

"Can the prince catch fish?" Zhao Ce was peeking at someone. When he heard Hu Yuhan's words, he immediately praised him.Then, Hu Yuhan, Ye Xingye and Zhao Ce were responsible for catching fish, and Ye Lingxi, Hu Qian'er and Zhou Jing were responsible for collecting firewood and lighting the fire.

After entering the bamboo forest, Hu Qian'er pointed in the direction and asked Zhou Jing to collect firewood there. She took Ye Lingxi to the other side, as if she wanted to whisper something.

But Hu Qian'er didn't say anything along the way, and looked around from time to time, as if she was looking for someone.

"Sister Hu, who are you looking for?" Ye Lingxi asked after Hu Qian'er looked around again.At this time, Hu Qian'er's eyes lit up and she waved forward. Ye Lingxi looked forward and saw a figure walking out from behind the bamboo. After seeing the other person's face clearly, she was a little surprised at first. She didn't expect that person would appear here. The next moment I wanted to turn around and leave, but I felt it was a bit pretentious, so it would be better to explain it clearly here.

Ye Lingjue walked over wearing a moon-white cloak, looking slightly tired, as if he was hurrying back.

"Princess, I'm leaving first. You and His Highness have a good talk. There is no misunderstanding between the brother and sister that cannot be resolved." Hu Qian'er explained in a low voice, bowed to the person who came over and left.

"Lingxi," "Second brother,"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time. Ye Lingjue smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk first about Lingxi." She clenched her fists and looked directly into those peach blossom eyes and said, "Second brother and I are not the same person. We will go our separate ways from now on." He said, Second Brother, there is no need to give me anything else, I don’t want Second Brother’s things.”

Ye Lingjue was startled for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the other party would speak so decisively. A cold and lonely light flowed under his slightly drooped eyelashes, his expression was lonely, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth also looked a little pale, and he used a self-deprecating tone. He said: "Lingxi wants to draw a clear line with me and we will never have contact with each other until we die."

She was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "The imperial concubine has always regarded my mother and concubine as a thorn in her side, and she wants to get rid of her quickly. Now that this layer of window paper has been pierced, how can we still pretend that nothing happened?"

After the words fell, silence spread between the two of them. A gust of cool wind swept by, and the bamboo leaves above their heads swirled down, just like snow, bringing waves of coolness.

Ye Lingxi turned around and was about to leave, holding one hand tightly with the other, restraining her slightly trembling muscles. She knew that sooner or later there would be a showdown. She once had a little fantasy, maybe this day would not will come, but history once again told her how ridiculous this fantasy was. Concubine Xiao would never let her mother-in-law go, no matter in the previous life or in this life!
"Does Lingxi hate me?" Ye Lingjue asked from behind.

She paused when she was about to mention it, and only said: "It's not my second brother's fault." The mother had no choice. She knew this, but that was all. She was asked to act out a harmonious relationship between brother and sister without any grudges. She can't do the drama.
