Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 151: What a coincidence! In the quiet courtyard, Ling Ruoyao was sitting in front of the stone table, with her chin resting on her hands, her eyes staring blankly at the front, and a blank expression appeared on her fair and pretty face.

I don't know where her thoughts went, Ling Ruoyao, who was in a trance, didn't notice at all that a delicate figure had already walked behind her.

Slowly leaning her head towards her, Caizhi hooked the corners of her lips, raised a smirk, and called out in Ling Ruoyao's ear: "Miss..."

Although the voice was not loud, it still startled Ling Ruoyao, who was in deep thought, and couldn't help but exclaimed, and subconsciously turned around, only to see Caizhi secretly having fun.

A look of displeasure immediately appeared on her face, she glared at Caizhi, and said angrily: "You girl, how dare you play tricks!"

Caizhi was not frightened by what she said, but looked at her with a bright smile on her face, and explained aloud: "Young lady sees young lady sitting here in a daze, and wants to make young lady happy."

"Are you kidding yourself?" Leaning at her, Ling Ruoyao rolled his eyes and said in a cold voice. After speaking, he turned around and didn't look at her again.

Seeing that she no longer paid attention to her, Caizhi took a step forward, walked up to her, looked at her expression, and said carefully: "Miss, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry?"

Ignoring her, Ling Ruoyao always put on a displeased expression, still supported her chin with both hands, and turned her head to one side.

"Miss..." Caizhi suddenly panicked, her delicate brows frowned, "Miss, this servant really knows it's wrong!"

However, Ling Ruoyao still ignored her, but there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of her ruddy mouth, her exquisite brows also raised slightly, and she was already laughing out loud in her heart.

After staring at her for a while, Caizhi suddenly said, "Miss, let's go out for a walk?"

Hearing Caizhi's suggestion, Ling Ruoyao immediately revived, and immediately turned her head to look at her. There was a look of yearning in her clear and lively eyes.

But in the next second, her expression suddenly became dim, with a listless look.

Just because that guy Huangfuxi said some nonsense, Ling Yan found out, causing her to be scolded by Ling Yan, and told her not to go out if she had nothing to do.

No, she can only stay in the mansion, almost growing mushrooms.

"Miss?" Seeing her suddenly listless and sluggish, Caizhi hurriedly asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

After meditating secretly for a moment, Ling Ruoyao took a deep breath, stroked the hem of the long skirt, stood up, waved at Caizhi, and said, "Let's go out for a stroll. The weather is so good, if you don't go out for a walk, What a pity!"

After speaking, he took the lead to walk out of the yard.

As for Ling Yan's advice, she had already put it aside, as long as Ling Yan didn't find out, who cares so much?Besides, she went out just to stroll around, not to do bad things.

Walking straight towards the gate of the front yard, when passing the garden, a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared within Ling Ruoyao's line of sight.

On the bluestone road not far from her, Ling Qinglian stood with her hands behind her back, facing a pool of blooming lotus flowers.

Ling Ruoyao involuntarily slowed down, her gaze remained on that stalwart figure, and a slight smile subconsciously appeared on her ruddy lips.

After a while, she came back to her senses and continued to walk forward.

Sensitively hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Ling Qinglian turned her head to look, and saw a pretty woman broke into her line of sight, her thin lips raised slightly upwards in an elegant arc.

Turning around to look at Ling Ruoyao, he watched her approaching him with a gentle expression, gently parted his thin lips, and asked softly, "Ruoyao, where are you going?"

Opened her mouth, Ling Ruoyao just wanted to say that she was planning to leave the mansion, but when she thought that if Ling Qinglian told Ling Yan, she would inevitably be scolded again, she quickly changed her words and said: "It's okay, I just walked around. Big brother is here What are you doing here?"

After speaking, she looked around again, and asked suspiciously: "Why isn't Mr. Gu with you?"

Dazed for a moment, Ling Qinglian twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a light smile: "Shao Yuan has some things to do, so he left the house."

"Big brother didn't go with him?" Ling Ruoyao asked suspiciously with her fine brows slightly frowned.

She didn't seem to know anything about this person surnamed Gu, and she didn't know what he did. She only knew that he was Ling Qinglian's friend, and Ling Qinglian didn't seem to want to mention anything about Gu Shaoyuan.

"It's Shaoyuan's personal business, so I can't go there." Ling Qinglian smiled awkwardly.

Ling Ruoyao's face also became a little uncomfortable, she quickly pulled the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "I see."

After chatting with Ling Qinglian for a while, she quickly changed the subject and said, "I want to go somewhere else, so I won't bother big brother."

"Where are you going?" Ling Qinglian frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Do you mind if I come with you?"

The corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, Ling Ruoyao hesitated a little, she really wanted to say no, but she didn't know how to say no: "This...".

"Are you planning to go out of the house?" Ling Qinglian smiled casually, but her pair of deep eyes were staring at her with sharp eyes.

After being dazed for a moment, Ling Ruoyao twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a sneer: "It seems that I really can't hide anything from my elder brother."

"Let's go, I'll go out with you." Ling Qinglian raised her brows and said casually, "If Father knows, I won't blame you too much, after all, you didn't go out alone."

Ling Ruoyao's face became even more embarrassed, she could only keep on laughing, and even felt a little guilty, feeling that she couldn't hide anything from him.

So, originally she just wanted to go out with Caizhi, but Ling Qinglian appeared on the way.

Ling Ruoyao couldn't help sighing softly, but in desperation, she had no choice but to follow Ling Qinglian to the gate of the mansion.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and walking to the bustling street, Ling Ruoyao was immediately infected by the bustling atmosphere, and was particularly interested in the small things on the street stalls.

It's no wonder that she is so excited. It has been a long time since she came to this strange country, but the number of times she went shopping is simply countable.

Now it's rare to have the opportunity to go out for a stroll, how can we not make her excited?

Ling Qinglian, who was following her, always looked at her with a smile on her face, looking at her softly, with a leisurely look, but her eyes always stayed on that slim figure.

When she came to a stall selling all kinds of masks, Ling Ruoyao stopped, and her eyes fell on these colorful masks.After looking at it for a while, she suddenly reached out to pick up a mask with blue face and fangs, put it on her face, and turned her head to look at Ling Qinglian.

"Come with me." Lowering her voice, she pretended to be fierce and fearful, and she did not forget to roll her eyes from the two eyeballs exposed behind the mask.

It's a pity that someone didn't give her face very much, Ling Qinglian just curled her lips and asked nonchalantly, "Where are you going with me?"

It was really boring, she took off the mask, put it back casually, turned around and continued walking, ignoring him, just muttered in a low voice: "It's boring."

Shaking her head helplessly, Ling Qinglian took a step forward, still following her leisurely and gracefully.

Suddenly, on the bustling and crowded street, a loud shout sounded: "Catch the thief!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw a thin and small man swiftly moving through the crowd, bumping into pedestrians on the side of the road, and some of them even fell to the ground.

"Stop!" Behind the fleeing man was a fat middle-aged woman with an angry face. The woman was panting heavily while chasing the man with all her might.

Ling Ruoyao also noticed this movement, so she stopped, turned her head to look, there was a puzzled look on her fair and pretty face, she thought to herself, there are so many thieves!

However, just when she stopped and looked in the restless direction, she only saw a swift figure running towards her. Before she could react, she saw the man has come before himself.

At this time, she was standing in the middle of the road in a daze.

"Ruoyao—"

Ling Ruoyao only heard a shout, but unfortunately, before she had time to answer, she didn't even have time to turn her head to look at Ling Qinglian who was calling her, she was knocked down by the man and fell to the ground.

Because the man was running so fast and powerfully, Ling Ruoyao was hit and fell to the ground, and immediately felt a sharp pain, which made her frown.

"Ruoyao, how are you doing?" Ling Qinglian was also taken aback by this unexpected state, but after recovering, she immediately came in front of her, squatted down to look at her, and stretched out her hand to help her up.

However, Ling Ruoyao pushed away his hand holding her, and stared angrily at the direction the man left: "Brother, grab him!"

"But you—"

"I'm fine." Interrupting his words without hesitation, Ling Ruoyao's eyes remained on the direction of the man running, and there was a dissatisfaction on his beautiful and refined face.

This thief is too rampant, right?Not to mention stealing other people's things, but also bumped into so many pedestrians, and most importantly, he dared to knock her down to the ground!

Seeing her insistence, Ling Qinglian didn't say anything more, she just told Caizhi to take care of her, then she got up and chased after the thief.

After he left, Caizhi hurried to Ling Ruoyao, carefully helped her up, and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you alright?"

Just thinking about how to teach the thief for a while, Ling Ruoyao didn't care if she hurt from the fall, so she shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

The middle-aged woman who had been stolen also came to her side, seeing that she asked Ling Qinglian to chase after the thief, the woman hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, miss!"

Ling Ruoyao then withdrew her gaze, and looked at the woman in front of her who kept thanking her, feeling a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Okay, okay, it's not too late to say thank you after the thief is caught." .”

Hearing what she said, the woman didn't speak anymore, but waited together anxiously in her heart.

Suddenly, Ling Ruoyao felt a scorching, even sharp gaze, always lingering on her body, which made her feel unnatural.

Her delicate brows furrowed in an instant, and she glanced around suspiciously. When she saw that familiar handsome face, she froze for a moment, and a surprised expression immediately appeared on her jade-like face.

In the crowd, Huangfu Yi had his hands behind his back, with a calm expression, but those deep and narrow phoenix eyes were always staring at that familiar bright figure.

He came out for a walk on a whim, and he also had some hopes in his heart, hoping that he could meet her, but he didn't expect that he would actually meet her, but the situation seemed to be a bit beyond his expectation.

Just because she was with Ling Qinglian.

"Master?" Ye Yuan, who was following him, also saw that Ling Ruoyao had spotted them, so he turned to look at Huangfu Yi, waiting for his instructions.

There was a slight smile on the calm and handsome face, even in the deep eyes, there was a slight smile, Huangfu Yi snorted lightly, and walked towards that pretty figure.

Since we met, how could we not say hello?

Seeing that he was walking towards her, Ling Ruoyao felt a little overwhelmed. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to leave her as soon as possible, and never contact him directly.

With that thought in her heart, she did put it into practice.

Hastily looking away, she lowered her head so that he would not see her somewhat flustered expression, her steps subconsciously stepped back, pulled Caizhi, she turned around and was about to walk out of the crowd.

"Isn't this Miss Ling Er?"

Just when she was about to rush out of the crowd to leave, a deep and magnetic familiar voice came from behind.It was just a short sentence, but Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but stop.

What does this perverted man with broken sleeves want to do?She couldn't help but secretly speculate that she was no longer his princess and had nothing to do with him, how dare he do anything to her?

"Miss..." Caizhi also recognized who was speaking behind her, and immediately looked at Ling Ruoyao worriedly, and quietly tugged at her sleeve.

Turning her head to look at Caizhi lightly, Ling Ruoyao winked at her, indicating that she was fine.

After taking a deep breath, she didn't intend to run away any more, but turned around generously, looked at Huangfu Yi who had already walked in front of her, raised an elegant and generous smile, and said calmly: "So it's four My lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Dazed for a moment, Huangfu Yi slightly pursed his thin lips, staring at the pretty woman in front of him in his deep phoenix eyes, but his eyes seemed a bit cold and complicated.

He thought that she didn't want to see him again, but he didn't expect that she could treat him so calmly as if nothing had happened.

At this time, he even hoped that she would be indifferent to him, or even hate him, than not caring about anything.

A feeling of dissatisfaction rose in his heart, and a touch of gloom unconsciously appeared on his handsome face. He pursed his thin lips, and then snorted softly and said, "I didn't expect to see Er Miss Ling here, What a coincidence!"

The hands hidden in the wide sleeves have long unconsciously clenched into fists, but there is always a calm expression on the face, Ling Ruoyao hooked the corners of her lips, smiling brightly: "I didn't expect to meet the Fourth Prince either. .”

No one spoke anymore, just looked at each other silently, but the expressions of the two were quite different. If you looked carefully, you could even find that the two were competing with each other with their eyes.

Although the two did not speak, there was a burst of noisy discussion among the surrounding crowd. Everyone was talking about the two people standing facing each other.

"Isn't this the fourth prince and the fourth concubine?"

"What fourth princess! It's not the fourth princess now, haven't you heard that the fourth prince calls her Second Miss Ling?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman was talking with a middle-aged man next to her. Both of them looked puzzled and curious, trying to dig out information they didn't know.

"That's right, both of them have reconciled, and of course they are no longer the Fourth Princess."

"That's not true." The middle-aged woman snorted coldly, curled her lips and said, "At the beginning, the marriage of the fourth prince and Miss Ling was a sensation in the whole capital, but now, the two have not reconciled. "

"Isn't the fourth prince the one with broken sleeves?" The middle-aged man approached the woman and said in a low voice, "Second Miss Ling must not be able to bear this, so she will reconcile with the fourth prince, right?"

The woman also looked mysterious, and whispered to the man, "It seems to be true, and the matter of reconciliation was first brought up by Miss Ling, and it was even brought up in front of the emperor."

"Tsk tsk." The man was speechless, with a gossiping expression on his face, "I'm afraid that no one will marry the fourth prince after these two people remarry, and no one will marry Miss Ling, right? Who wants to marry? A prince with broken sleeves, what about wasting his life? Who would want to marry a woman who has been married before?" Naruo Qianyao.

"Is there anything you can't marry?" The woman didn't care, "The fourth prince and the two concubines have been married to the prince for more than a year? Besides, that's the prince. There are many women who want to marry him." As for Second Miss Ling...the prince has never touched her, why can't he marry? She is still the prime minister's daughter!"

"How do you know that the prince hasn't touched her?"

"Are you stupid?" The woman glared at the man and said angrily, "The prince likes men, so why would he touch her?"

"..." The man choked on her words, opened his mouth, but didn't speak again.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he is just gossiping, who cares if anyone is willing to marry or not.

The two parties in the center of the crowd looked at each other silently, with a calm expression on their faces, but they had their own concerns in their hearts.

Although the voices of pedestrians around were not heard very clearly, Ling Ruoyao still felt very disliked and even a little disgusted by the pointing and commenting.

At this time, she just wanted to get out of here quickly, and stop being discussed as a topic by everyone.

In contrast, Huangfu Yi's mood was much calmer.Although he also noticed everyone's discussion, for him, it was not worthy of his concern at all.

At this moment, all he cared about was the woman standing in front of him.

On her fair face, the calm expression could no longer be maintained, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but frowned her delicate brows, curled her lips in displeasure, raised her eyes to look at Huangfu Yi, and said in a low voice: "I still have something to do, so excuse me first Alright, Fourth Prince, take your leave."

After finishing speaking, she led Caizhi, bypassed Huangfuyi, and walked in the direction where Ling Qinglian left just now.

Counting the time, Ling Qinglian should be back soon.It took no effort on his part to catch the thief.

However, just as she passed by Huangfu Yi, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Are you afraid of me?"

The steps under her feet paused, her hands clenched even tighter, and a feeling of dissatisfaction was spreading in her heart. Ling Ruoyao pursed her red lips tightly, ignored him, and still walked straight out of the crowd.

Seeing that she didn't pay attention to him, Huangfu Yi also frowned his handsome brows, and there was a gloomy expression on his handsome and resolute face.

Turning around, he looked at Ling Ruoyao who was leaving, and said coldly, "Stop."

Although it was only two short and simple words, it carried a full deterrent force, and even the surrounding crowd felt a chilling feeling.

However, Ling Ruoyao, who was the person involved, didn't care at all. Not only did she not feel afraid, but she was full of displeasure.

Instead of stopping, she quickened her pace and strode forward, wishing to leave him quickly and get rid of his sharp gaze.

Undoubtedly, this reaction of hers made Huangfu Yi very dissatisfied. As a result of her dissatisfaction, her anger grew and her whole body exuded a frightening cold aura.

"My lord tells you to stop!" He raised his voice and said word by word, with an irresistible majesty in his tone.

The delicate and delicate brows frowned even tighter, Ling Ruoyao pursed her red lips tightly, and there was a look of displeasure on her fair face, she couldn't help but slander, this man is a bit too self-righteous, right?Why should she stop?

"Miss..." Caizhi looked at her worriedly, and then quietly tugged at her sleeve.

Ignoring Caizhi, she stopped suddenly, but still stood with her back facing him, her slender back straight.

After a while, Ling Ruoyao turned around, there was no trace of displeasure or anger on her clear and refined face, instead there was a bright and dazzling smile, which made Huangfu Yi feel dazed for a moment.

Blinking a pair of clear eyes, she pretended to be puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Is the prince talking to me?" As she spoke, she looked around seriously.

The wide hands behind his back tightened instantly, Huangfu Yi narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly, and looked at her coldly, feeling very displeased.

How dare this woman pretend to be a fool with him!
