Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 147: So happy!Ling Yan, who was engrossed in practicing calligraphy, paused slightly while holding the writing brush, hesitated for a while, and then looked up at Ling Ruoyao. There was no emotion at all on his slightly aged face.

"Are you back?" Putting down the brush, he flicked up his sleeves, walked around the desk, and walked towards her.

Pointing to the chair beside him, Ling Yan sat down first, and sighed softly.Ling Ruoyao suddenly became a little nervous, quickly lowered her head, walked to the chair next to Ling Yan and sat down.

Picking up the teacup on the tea table and taking a sip, Ling Yan said: "My lord promised to make peace with you?"

She had a calm expression on her face, but she still couldn't help feeling a little turmoil in her heart, she raised her lips and chuckled, Ling Ruoyao curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "Father thinks, who would dare to disobey the emperor's will? "

After being dazed for a moment, Ling Yan came back to his senses and understood what was going on, but he couldn't help showing a puzzled look on his face, and asked in surprise: "Are you really looking for Jade concubine?"

Nodding her head, Ling Ruoyao also felt puzzled in her heart, frowned delicately and said, "I went to the palace to look for Jade Concubine, but she clearly rejected me at the time, but for some reason, she helped me later. .”

"Are you sure it was Yubi who told you the love?" Ling Yan was even more puzzled, really puzzled.

At the beginning, he suggested that Ling Ruoyao should go to Mo Yingyu for help, but it was really helpless. He treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and never thought that Mo Yingyu would agree.

After all, he, Ling Ruoyao, and Mo Yingyu were neither relatives nor friends, and they hardly even met and talked. It was only natural that Mo Yingyu would refuse, and it would not surprise him at all.

Instead, it was her help that made him feel puzzled. .

After hearing Ling Yan's question, Ling Ruoyao was obviously in deep thought, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it could not be someone else, so she raised her head to look at Ling Yan, and replied in a firm tone: "I plan to make peace with the prince. , I only told Yubi that it couldn’t be anyone else except her. It’s absolutely impossible for the emperor to give her permission suddenly.”

She clearly remembered how the emperor answered her.

Don't mention the matter of reconciliation!

Regarding Mo Yingyu's help, Ling Yan still couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. In the end, he could only attribute it to the empathy between women.

"No matter who helped you, at least your wish has come true." With a long sigh, Ling Yan said in a low voice, "You're back, so stay at home with peace of mind."

A warm feeling suddenly flowed through her heart, Ling Ruoyao only felt a sore throat, and even her eye sockets began to turn sore.

The grey-haired man in front of him had a solemn expression on his old face that had been washed by the years, but his tone of voice revealed concern that couldn't be concealed.

This is the warmth given by the family.

She didn't belong here, she wasn't her daughter, she just occupied this body, she had no affection for his father at first, but gradually, she was infected by his kindness and regarded him as her relative.

"Father, my daughter is not filial." Standing up, Ling Ruoyao said with a choked voice, then suddenly knelt down on the ground with a plop, lowered her head and said, "It's my daughter's waywardness that made you worry."

Confused by her sudden action, Ling Yan obviously did not expect her to behave like this, so he quickly reached out to help her up, and said in a low voice: "Okay, since the matter has already happened, why bother to talk about it?" What about these words? You are my Ling Yan's daughter, if I don't worry about you, who else should I worry about?"

"And elder brother and elder sister!" Ling Ruoyao also put away the sourness and emotion in her heart, pretending to be very relaxed and said, "I'm already married and divorced, elder brother and elder sister haven't talked about marriage yet."

After she said this, Ling Yan realized that it was time for Ling Qinglian and Ling Ruoyun to talk about marriage. It seemed that he should also look for a suitable candidate.

"Do you have any suitable candidates for your elder brother and your sister?" Ling Yan raised his eyebrows and asked Ling Ruoyao out loud.

When asked about this, Ling Ruoyao curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and said complainingly: "Father, are you laughing at me? After I moved into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, I almost stayed in the mansion. How can I have time to help my elder brother?" Looking for someone with my sister?"

In fact, when Ling Yan asked her this question, he was not asking for Ling Qinglian and Ling Ruoyun, but he wanted to ask her to see if she had someone he liked.

When the emperor granted the marriage back then, he didn't want to marry his daughter to the Fourth Prince Huang Fuyi, he just wanted them to live a normal life.

But the emperor had no choice but to speak, and dared not refuse.

Now, Ling Ruoyao has reconciled with Huangfu Yi, but she can't live in the prime minister's mansion all the time and guard him as an old man for the rest of her life, right?

Although she is a woman who has been married before, but with her status as the prime minister's daughter, do you still worry about no one marrying her?

Thinking of this, Ling Yan couldn't help but insinuate: "Ruoyao, what kind of man do you think is good?"

Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he would suddenly ask her such a question, she blinked her clear eyes, and without thinking much, she replied aloud: "Of course I want men like Daddy and Big Brother." !"

This time, it was Ling Yan who was stunned. After being surprised for a while, he couldn't help laughing out loud, helplessly and funny: "You!"

Ling Ruoyao also raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly, but there was no trace of joy in her heart.

She understood what Ling Yan meant, and if she wanted to blame, she could only blame herself, why did she care about Ling Qinglian and Ling Ruoyun's marriage, and it caused Ling Yan to attack her sideways.

After this failed marriage, she didn't want to talk about marriage anymore.How good it is to be alone, free and unrestrained, to do whatever you want, so you don't have to be restrained by others.

After talking with Ling Yan for a while, Ling Ruoyao got up and left the study, returning to the courtyard where she used to live.

When she returned to the yard, Caizhi had already cleaned up the house.The original furnishings are still preserved in the house without any changes.

Seeing Ling Ruoyao walk into the room, Cai Zhi, who was busy in the room, rushed to greet her, and said in a low voice: "Miss is back, my servant will make you a pot of tea."

Without stopping, Ling Ruoyao nodded and let her go, while she walked into the room.

The luggage brought back from the Fourth Prince’s Mansion has been tidied up by Caizhi, and the clothes and jewelry are also placed where they should be placed. The dowry left by her mother who has never met is also used by Caizhi as a jewelry box. Put it on the dresser.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on the box, guessing, what would be inside?

The box is not big, square and square, and it looks very well-regulated. Because it has been stored for a long time, the color of the box has faded a little, and it looks a bit gloomy, but it can still be seen that the workmanship of the box is very fine.

Stretching out her hand to fiddle with the small lock on the box, Ling Ruoyao frowned delicately, and muttered in a low voice, "Is this really my dowry? Even if the dowry needs to be locked, at least the key must be locked." and give it to me."

After picking up the box and fiddling with it for a while, the more she looked at it, the more interested she became, and the desire to open it became stronger.

After making up her mind, she found a fine sewing needle and fiddled with the keyhole. On her fair and pretty face, there was a serious look, and her brows were wrinkled into a ball, most of which failed to achieve her goal. The determination to never give up.

However, she took a thin needle and studied the keyhole for a long time, but she didn't open the small lock, instead she was so tired that she was sweating profusely.

Her heart became more and more irritable, and the hand holding the thin needle also began to disobey and started to tremble. After a few strokes, she not only failed to insert the thin needle into the keyhole, but stuck it on her own finger.

The moment the needle stuck on her finger, Ling Ruoyao became angry immediately, threw the box in her hand on the dressing table, and cursed in a low voice: "What crap? Don't care!"

Cursing, she stood up, walked to the bed, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

And Caizhi, who came in with the freshly brewed tea, happened to see her throwing a tantrum and walking back to the bed, and doubts suddenly arose in her heart.

Walking quickly into the inner room, she put the teacup on the table, turned her head and glanced at the room, her eyes fell on the messy dressing table, looking at the box that was thrown aside, her delicate brows frowned instantly.

Presumably, it was the box that made her so unhappy?She didn't know what was in that box, she never saw Ling Ruoyao open it once.

If Ling Ruoyao knew what was going on in her mind at this moment, she would definitely yell angrily: "If I can open it, I don't have to be so angry!"

Stepping up to the dressing table, Caizhi tidied up the messy jewelry on the dressing table, and put the locked box together.

After tidying up, she walked back to the bed, leaned closer to Ling Ruoyao, and called softly, "Miss, are you asleep?"

Ling Ruoyao was lying on the bed, her eyes were tightly closed, she didn't move, she seemed to be asleep, and her breathing was exceptionally even.

After calling again, seeing that she still didn't respond, Caizhi pulled the quilt over her body, turned around, walked out of the room lightly, and closed the door.

When the door closed, Ling Ruoyao, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, threw off the quilt, and fanned the wind with her hands.

This Caizhi is also real, what kind of quilt should I cover her in such a hot day?

Lying on the bed, looking at the green gauze curtain above her head, Ling Ruoyao thought to herself, since she had already reconciled with Huangfu Yi, staying in the prime minister's residence was still not an option.

How boring would it be to stay in one place all the time?She will be very depressed if she lives in this small world.

So, she needs to walk around, just to relax.

But if you want to go out for a walk, where should you go?

Thinking hard, she fell asleep unknowingly. Before falling asleep, she was still struggling with where she should go.

***The book is extended slightly.

As night fell, blackness enveloped the entire earth, only a few sparse stars in the sky exuded faint light.In contrast, the night in this bustling capital is even more dazzling than the stars.

The entire capital city is brightly lit, and lanterns are hung in the streets and alleys. Pedestrians do not need to carry lanterns when walking on the street.The capital city at night is no less lively than during the day.

In a restaurant next to a small river, there are many drinkers coming and going, some just drink a pot of wine and leave, some sit in the restaurant, or drink by themselves, or meet friends to toast .

This restaurant has two floors. On the upper floor by the railing, two tall and slender figures sat facing each other. In front of them, a wine bowl was placed respectively, and a jug of high-quality wine was placed next to them.

Lifting the jug and pouring wine for herself for the night, Ling Qinglian picked up the wine bowl, raised her head and drank it down. The wine trickled down the corner of his mouth and wet his clothes, but he didn't seem to realize it.

Sitting opposite him, Gu Shaoyuan looked at him expressionlessly, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he looked at him with a bit of worry.

He had already drank a whole jug of wine without restraint, and this wine happened to be the strongest in this shop.

"Qinglian." After being silent for a while, Gu Shaoyuan couldn't help but said, "Stop drinking."

However, Ling Qinglian didn't seem to hear what he said, she still drank heavily on her own, her handsome face also showed a little drunkenness, and even her eyes became blurred.

"Shaoyuan, don't stop me." After belching, Ling Qinglian waved her hand and said, her voice was intermittent, "I'm happy today!"

Sighing helplessly, Gu Shaoyuan didn't stop him anymore, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and drank it with his head raised.

He had just arrived in the capital, and before he had time to settle down, he was called here by Ling Qinglian.As soon as she entered the restaurant, Ling Qinglian ordered two jugs of good wine, and she finished one jug by herself first.

During this period, Ling Qinglian didn't say a word, and he didn't ask, he thought that when he was happy with him, he would naturally tell him, but he didn't want to, this Ling Qinglian couldn't stop drinking, and now she was drunk.

Snatching the jug from his hand, Gu Shaoyuan frowned and scolded: "Enough! Look at what you have become? What happened during this period of time, what happened to you?"

Ling Qinglian squinted her drunken eyes slightly, and raised her hand to grab the flagon in Gu Shaoyuan's hand, but because of the attack of drunkenness, he felt powerless all over, his raised hand dropped powerlessly before touching the flagon.

"Shaoyuan, give it to me!" He couldn't get back the jug, so he began to yell, "I haven't had enough!"

Fortunately, there were only the two of them on the second floor, and no one else saw his embarrassment. Otherwise, Gu Shaoyuan would not have bypassed him, because even bringing him would be embarrassing.

Putting the jug on the table, he held the jug with one hand, stared at Ling Qinglian sharply, and said coldly: "Want to drink? You can. But you must tell me honestly, what's wrong with you ? How long has it been since we last met, and you’ve become like this?”

Ling Qinglian lay powerlessly on the table, raised her eyes to look at Gu Shaoyuan, only to find that there seemed to be more of him, how could there be two?

Pointing at him, Ling Qinglian twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a chuckle: "Shaoyuan, I have some good news for you!" Then, he hiccupped again, "Ruoyao is back!"

Hearing Ling Qinglian's words, Gu Shaoyuan became a little stunned, with a surprised expression on Junyi Chuchen's face, and subconsciously asked: "Where did she go before?"

"Did you forget?" Waiting for him to glance, Ling Qinglian said angrily, "Didn't she...haven't she always lived...in the Four Princes' Mansion?"

Gu Shaoyuan became even more puzzled, thinking, what is this drunk talking nonsense about?Of course he knew that Ling Ruoyao had been in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. She was the Fourth Prince's Concubine, if she wasn't in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, where else could she be?Could it be that he is still in the prime minister's mansion?

Thinking of this, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked: "You mean, the second lady has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Seeing that he understood what she meant, Ling Qinglian twitched the corners of her mouth again, laughed twice, and stretched out her finger, pointing at him: "You...you guessed it right!"

Ignoring his abnormal reaction, Gu Shaoyuan asked again: "Why did she return to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't she the Fourth Princess?"

The water splashed by the married daughter has nothing important to do, so she will not go back to her mother's house.Could it be that something happened to her?

"This is absolutely good news!" Ling Qinglian said, getting more drunk, "Shaoyuan, let me tell you, Ruoyao, she...she...she is no longer the Fourth Princess!"

"What did you say?" Gu Shaoyuan was shocked immediately, a look of surprise and shock appeared on Junyi's face, obviously it was hard to believe what he heard.

Although this Ling Qinglian was already drunk, she still said that she uttered the truth after drinking, and he would never become such a virtuous person by drinking out of nowhere, so it seems that what he said is true?

Is Ling Ruoyao really no longer the Fourth Princess?

As if she was afraid that he would not understand what she said, Ling Qinglian looked up at him, tried her best to put on a serious look, hiccupped and said: "Ruoyao... Ruoyao has made peace with the fourth prince... ...or the Emperor himself ordered it!"

When he was talking, there was an unconcealable joy on his face, and after he finished speaking, he laughed to himself.

The hand holding the flagon unconsciously increased the strength. Gu Shaoyuan moved his eyes to other places, his eyes were particularly deep, as if he was thinking about something, but the corner of his mouth unconsciously evoked a slight smile .

It's no wonder that Ling Qinglian drank so lonely and drunk.

"Shaoyuan, give me the wine!" Ling Qinglian yelled suddenly, gaining strength, snatched the flagon from Gu Shaoyuan's hand, raised her head and drank from the flagon.

After taking a big sip, he looked at Gu Shaoyuan and said drunkenly: "Shaoyuan, you drink too! I'm so happy today!"

Are you happy?Gu Shaoyuan raised his lips and chuckled, he seemed quite happy too.

Snatching the jug from Ling Qinglian's hand, he poured himself a bowl of wine, and drank it with his head raised.

The two drank several bowls in succession, and the pot of wine was almost gone.

Ling Qinglian raised her voice and shouted downstairs: "Xiaoer, have another pot of wine!"

"Come on!" Immediately afterwards, a loud shout sounded from downstairs.

Not long after, Xiao Er came upstairs with a jug of wine and put it on the table of the two of them: "You two guests, please use it slowly." After speaking, he retreated.

But when he left, he couldn't help but glance at Ling Qinglian, thinking to himself, isn't this Young Master Ling from the Prime Minister's Mansion?How can you drink like this?

Noticing the look in Ling Qinglian's eyes when Xiaoer left, Gu Shaoyuan was speechless, thinking, how did he know this drunk friend?

He hadn't had much to drink yet, and he was already so drunk, and his capacity for alcohol must have been too low.

If Ling Qinglian knew what he was thinking at this time, she would definitely retort dissatisfied: "You can drink a pot of wine and try it!"

However, Ling Qinglian at this time was already deeply drunk, and even Gu Shaoyuan, who was sitting opposite him, in his eyes, changed from one to three.

The two were silent for a while, Gu Shaoyuan took a sip from the wine bowl, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Your sister and her husband have divorced, why are you so happy? You don't know that this married woman Will people despise you after reconciling?"

"Who dares to dislike it?" Ling Qinglian immediately became angry, waved her hand, and said loudly, "If anyone dares to dislike it, I will definitely not spare him!"

Frightened by his sudden voice, Gu Shaoyuan looked at him in surprise, his handsome brows were instantly frowned, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.

Judging from the current situation, what he was most worried about seemed to have happened.

He couldn't let such a thing happen, otherwise, it would not be good for Ling Qinglian or Ling Ruoyao.

"Qinglian, be sober." Leaning forward, he leaned towards Ling Qinglian and said in a low voice, "Ruoyao is your sister, how can you not consider her happiness? You are still so happy."

"Happiness?" Ling Qinglian said with a chuckle, "When she returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will feel happy. In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she is not happy at all! Now, she is happy, how can I be unhappy? ?”

Choked by his drunken words, Gu Shaoyuan opened his mouth, but couldn't find any suitable words to refute, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Neither of them spoke, they just focused on drinking, and after a while, the jug of wine that had just been delivered bottomed out again.

Ling Qinglian wanted to call Xiao Er at the top of her voice, but Gu Shaoyuan stopped her immediately: "Qinglian, stop drinking, I'll take you back."

It was getting late, if the two of them continued to drink like this, it would probably be midnight.Ling Qinglian was already so drunk, she had to send him back quickly.

However, Ling Qinglian refused and wanted to continue drinking.Really helpless, Gu Shaoyuan had no choice but to stand up, helped Ling Qinglian who was as drunk as mud, and dragged him downstairs.

Before leaving, he did not forget to put the wine money on the table.

On the street at this time, the bustle has faded, leaving only a piece of silence.

Walking along the quiet street, Gu Shaoyuan suddenly heard Ling Qinglian who was leaning on him, and murmured: "I know, she is my sister... Shaoyuan, I know... just this time, I indulged myself Just once..."

The dim yellow light from the street lamps on the street elongated the two figures side by side, and then elongated...
