When Ning Yin was holding the lamp, the Longevity Thread dangled around his strong wrist bones, making his knuckles slender and cold.

It's obviously a cold and self-satisfied fairy appearance, but somehow it adds a bit of love.

Yu Lingxi thought, it was probably because he seldom took the initiative to do anything, whether it was the superior control in his previous life, or the traditional Chinese medicine or feeding medicine before, he just sat indifferently and lured her into the hook.

"Why is Miss always looking at me?"

Ning Yin put her lips against the remaining blush on the rim of the cup, pressed it, rubbed the cup and said gently, "It's just a cup, why don't you want to part with it."

Yu Lingxi suspected that he did it on purpose.

"That's all." She held her slightly hot cheeks, and simply didn't argue with him.

Ning Yin drank several cups in a row, her deep lacquer eyes were half-closed, and she seemed to enjoy aftertaste.

Yu Lingxi didn't drink because of the medicine, but she also raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said softly: "If you have anything to do in the future, you can talk to me directly, don't be bored in your heart. If you always think about it, don't worry about it." Tired!"

In the previous life, Ning Yin's mind was too difficult to figure out, which caused so many misunderstandings. In this life, before it's too late, I have to make a change.

Ning Yin raised her eyes from behind the wine cup, her dark eyes reflected the glimmer of the wine, and asked, "Miss, are you speaking to Wei Qi, or Ning Yin?"

He asked a tricky question.

If you say it to Wei Qi, as a young lady, she is too kind and close; but if you say it to Ning Yin, it is easy to think that he is flattering because of his status as a prince...

Yu Lingxi's curled eyelashes moved, filled with the dim light by the window, and smiled slightly: "Whether it's Wei Qi or Ning Yin, it's you."

Ning Yin snorted and laughed.

He seemed to be in a really good mood right now, he held his lamp and looked at her for a long time, but he didn't question the truth of this tactful words.

"You don't have anything to say, do you want to tell me?" Yu Lingxi asked again.

In her previous life, Yu Lingxi made him a bunch of sachets, handkerchiefs, and shoes, but she had never heard him say "thank you" seriously.

Ning Yin naturally saw the expectant smile in her eyes, and looked down to the knot on her wrist.

With a deep smile, he said: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely keep this bracelet close to me."

He emphasized the word "close to the body", and Yu Lingxi couldn't help thinking of the streamer that had been wrapped around his wrist for a long time...

The apex of the heart is hot, but it doesn't have to be so.

I embroidered so many things for Ning Yin in my previous life, but I didn't see where he cherished them;

If you think about it, things will be turned against each other, and you have cherished it too much in this life.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Ning Yin say leisurely: "In the future, I will give Miss another chain."

"real?"

"real."

Ning Yin spoke boldly, "Miss knows, I am the most gracious and repayable."

Yu Lingxi was suspicious, looking at his smiling expression, she always felt that something was weird.

…

After Duanyang, midsummer hits.

On a scorching day, even the situation in the court was turbulent.

In the Kunning Palace, it was so quiet that there was not even the slightest sound of cicadas.

The Buddha Hall was cut off from the hot day outside, and only the thick shade spread out, covering Empress Feng in plain clothes in front of the lamp stand.

"Who spread the news, have you found it?" Empress Feng looked blankly, like a Buddha statue sitting on the seat, neither sad nor happy.

"Go back to your mother, I'm still investigating." Cui secretly said.

Empress Feng put down the hand that turned the prayer beads, and asked: "Cui An, how many things did you mess up, do you remember?"

A simple sentence, but it made the young **** lift his robe and kneel down.

"Back then, I was imprisoned and suffered the humiliation of castration. All thoughts were lost. It was the empress' appreciation and trust that allowed Cui An to live to this day. Although I am incompetent, I can learn from my loyalty to my empress. Please forgive me for a while."

Cui Anfu showed his loyalty, his dark eyes were reflected on the floor tiles, and he said slowly: "Besides, those who knew about it back then were executed by my own hands, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Back then, didn't one escape?"

The queen's eyes fell on the lotus sitting on the Buddha statue, and she stroked it with her fingers. The dark red copper color seemed to still have traces of blood spattered in those years.

Empress Feng withdrew her gaze, stood up and said, "Is there any movement from the prince's concubines?"

Cui An walked over on his knees, put his arms around the Queen's hand and said, "Two Liang Dies and one Liang Yuan are pregnant."

The queen nodded, one of the chess pieces has been discarded, and several spare pieces must be prepared.

The sunlight reflected a dazzling white light on the rubble, but it could not illuminate the darkness of the Buddha Hall.

In Yu Mansion, the sun is shining brightly.

Yu Lingxi was sitting in the waterside pavilion to enjoy the cool air. It was only today that she found out from the intermittent conversation between her father and brother that there were rumors from somewhere that the current crown prince was not born to the empress, but that his biological mother was just a lowly palace maid of Kunning...

In addition, the crown prince was lustful, licentious, and immoral because he was the only direct prince. As soon as the rumors came out, many conservative courtiers began to waver and wait and see.

She lightly scooped the chilled crispy cheese, and glanced at Ning Yin beside her.

The court was full of turmoil, but the Seventh Prince, who would threaten the world in the future, was sitting on the railing of the water pavilion, looking sideways at the sparkling lake, with the corners of his mouth hooked in a seemingly harmless silence.

…

After several days of scorching heat, the cool weather finally ushered in, and the entire Yu Mansion also ushered in the most joyful events in recent years.

On the eighth day of June, Yu Huanchen, the eldest son of Yu's family, got married to a young talented girl from Pingchang Hou Su's family.

Yu Huanchen has an official position, so he should set up his own small family after getting married. General Yu ordered someone to open up the large unused garden on the west side of Yu Mansion, and use it as his son's residence after repairing it.

Although they are separated, the two mansions are adjacent to each other, so it is very convenient to come and go.

Today, both the main house and the West Mansion are filled with red silk, and the doors are full of happy words. The servants and servants come and go, welcoming and seeing off guests. It is rare to see such excitement in the whole capital.

Yu Huanchen changed into his wedding dress, the red robe and jade belt, and he was very heroic.

Yu Xinyi also changed back to her girl's attire, leaning against the porch and laughing at him: "Yu Huanchen, I didn't expect you to look like a dog in this wedding gown!"

Yu Huanchen was not reluctant about this marriage at all, so he immediately countered coldly, "It doesn't look like you, you don't look like a woman in a skirt."

The twin siblings bickered as soon as they met, and Yu Xinyi was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him up.

Yu Lingxi covered her face with a fan, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile, she took Yu Xinyi's hand and said in a soft voice: "Today is my brother's big day, sister, can you bear with me?"

Only then did Yu Xinyi give up in anger, and turned to greet the female guest.

Yu Lingxi asked Hu Tao to help take care of the refreshments, and ordered: "Tell the dining room that the lotus flower cake will be served later, and it will be too tired when it cools down."

Just as she was talking, she wore a ring behind her, and a clear voice sounded: "Second sister."

Yu Lingxi turned around, only to see Xue Cen in a jade crown and brocade robe standing under the scorching summer sun, as refreshing as snow on a mountain, smiling at her.

He dressed up today in a dignified manner, but he did not overwhelm others, and was as gentle and restrained as he was.

Yu Lingxi was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Xue Cen was her brother's best man today.

She saluted back and said with a smile: "Brother Cen, you should go and rest for a while, the procession to welcome the bride will leave in an hour."

Xue Cenqingjuan remained the same, but his eyes seemed a little more worried, he shook his head and said, "I'm not tired."

"Ah Cen! Let me go to greet you with your kid's attire, I don't know how many girls you will be charmed by!"

Yu Huanchen came over and shook Xue Cen's shoulders, "I'm already married, when will you marry my sister?"

Yu Lingxi expected that her elder brother was going to make fun of the marriage contract between the two families again, so she quickly cleared her throat and said, "Auntie called me to help, brothers talk first."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the hem of his skirt and quickly escaped from the place of right and wrong.

Xue Cen's eyes followed that delicate figure and left, recalling it.

What she just said was, brothers "you".

Yu Huanchen didn't notice the subtle difference, and thought his sister was shy, he patted Xue Cen and said, "Let's go, Cen. I still need you to explain to me the etiquette of welcoming relatives, I'm afraid I'll forget it then."

Xue Cen suppressed the loneliness in his eyes, smiled as warmly as usual, nodded and said: "Okay."

At an auspicious time, the wedding procession set out from Yu Mansion.

When it was dusk, Yu Huanchen and the bride were finally welcomed back to the sedan chair in Su's mansion, each holding one end of the red silk, they walked shoulder to shoulder across the long red carpet, and headed to the main house to pay their respects.

After worshiping, he was sent back to Yu Huanchen's mansion in Xifu.

At the end of the unitary year, when the lanterns were first lit, the mansion was as bright as day. After drinking the makeup-changing tea, all relatives in the Yu Mansion will accept the gift of seeing the bride.

Taking out the fan that covered her face, Yu Lingxi saw her sister-in-law.

She is a very delicate and beautiful woman, her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her eyes are like glazed glass, her stature only reaches her elder brother's shoulders, and she is quite soft and lovely by the heroic and tall Yu Huanchen...

Just looking at her appearance, Yu Lingxi couldn't connect her with the strong woman in her previous life who would rather have her hair chopped off than remarry.

Su Guan paid respects to her in-laws and Yu Xinyi in turn, and then Lianbu moved in front of Yu Lingxi.

The two looked at each other, and Su Wan's eyes flashed a hint of surprise. After one more look at Yu Lingxi, Fang Rourou said, "Sister."

"Sister-in-law." Yu Lingxi also returned the gift.

Because of the memories of her previous life, Yu Lingxi was born with a good impression of her, so she couldn't help but smile at her.

After seeing the ceremony, it is the real bridal chamber wedding night.

Parents have already gone back to greet the wedding guests, Yu Lingxi told Hu Tao: "Miss Su's family must be hungry after tossing all day, you go and prepare some porridge and cakes, and take care of the young lady."

Hu Tao cleverly agreed, and led the two maidservants down to make arrangements.

Today's night is just right, and the sea of ​​lights is winding with red silk happy characters, which is very beautiful.

Returning from the West Mansion to the main house, you will pass a mountain pond and flower garden. Yu Lingxi is in a good mood, and retreats the little maid who carries the lamp and says, "You don't have to follow, I'll walk alone."

She walked through the crape myrtle trellis under the melting moonlight, and then saw Ning Yin standing upright under the moon gate that separated the two houses.

He seems to have been waiting here for a long time, and it seems that he just came out at random.

Yu Lingxi was a little surprised, trotted and called out: "Wei Qi!"

Ning Yin stood still, waiting for her to come over.

"Why are you here?" Yu Lingxi's scarlet gauze skirt fluttered, and when she looked up at him, her eyes were filled with the warm light of the flickering lantern.

Ning Yin didn't say that she took advantage of the wedding banquet in the Yu Mansion to go out and kill a few people who got in the way, by the way...

He lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved almost imperceptibly: "Wait for the birds to return to their nests."

"Nonsense again." Yu Lingxi chuckled.

Ning Yin only raised the cat for her, when did she raise the bird?

The two passed through the moon gate one after the other, and stepped into the zigzag corridor.

Today was a happy event in the mansion, a pair of lanterns hung every five steps in the veranda, Yu Lingxi and Ning Yin bathed in the river of light, and walked on the road paved with lights.

Ning Yin was a step behind her, and she could see the fluffy light on her hair, the swaying crimson skirt, her whole body was beautiful and light.

"Miss is in a good mood," he said.

"Of course." Yu Lingxi's tone was also brisk, and she said with her eyes bent, "Brother is getting married today, so I'm really happy."

Although Yu Lingxi followed Ning Yin in her previous life, she was put on a sedan chair as a gift and presented to the mansion. She had no wedding dress and no wedding banquet.

Just now I saw my sister-in-law wearing a wedding gown with blue texture and large sleeves, with flower hairpins on her temples, she is extremely beautiful, married into the mansion with ten miles of red makeup, it aroused her long-silent girlish thoughts.

She sighed, with a little regret that she didn't even realize: "Being a husband and wife, being able to live in the same bed, die in the same hole, and be inseparable is the most beautiful thing in the world."

"Die in the same hole?"

Ning Yin walked with his hands behind his back and said with a sneer: "If you die and bury it, what's so good about the corpse decomposing into dry bones?"

Yu Lingxi froze, and suddenly lost all feelings.

She smiled helplessly, and explained patiently: "This is just a metaphor, showing that the husband and wife are deeply in love, and they will continue to be together even after death..."

Seeing that Ning Yin didn't talk to her, Yu Lingxifang realized that Ning Yin probably didn't bother to understand these things.

It's really disappointing to say this to myself.

"correct."

She untied a sugar bag from her waist, and changed the subject without a trace, "Do you want to eat wedding candy?"

The small silk bag was full, including her favorite salt and pepper plums, as well as various dried fruit halva from the wedding banquet.

Ning Yin lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on her tender white fingertips holding the sugar bag, and she reached out to pick a salt-and-pepper plum.

Yu Lingxi remembered that he couldn't eat spicy food, so she hurriedly stopped him: "This is spicy..."

But it was too late, Ning Yin put the plum in his mouth and bit it lightly.

Yu Lingxi watched helplessly as the end of his eyes quickly turned red, as if he had been bullied, adding to his fragile beauty.

She was startled at first, then frowned and said, "Hey, I already said it's spicy, why are you still eating it?"

Ning Yin savored Yu Lingxi's hobbies carefully, with almost masochistic pleasure, and Yu Lingxi knew that this little lunatic was deliberately snatching food.

Helpless, she glared at him and walked away.

Ning Yin followed behind her unhurriedly, and said in a low voice for a while: "I don't agree with Miss's statement."

"What?" Yu Lingxi stopped in her tracks, unable to react for a moment.

Ning Yin said casually: "Things you like should be preserved forever. How can you be willing to bury her in the dark underground and rot and maggot?"

Yu Lingxi was astonished at his fallacies, and recalled her fate in the previous life, and was speechless for a while.

"If you can't die with her, you should freeze her body and hide it deep."

Ning Yin clicked her tongue softly, as if constructing an extremely beautiful idea, "Even if she dies, let her stay by your side, and see each other every day...wouldn't it be more beautiful?"

The wind comes through the corridor, blowing away the dust of memory.

Yu Lingxi looked at him in disbelief as if she had been electrified.
