Chapter Forty-Five(1/2)
In order to recuperate for the evening trip, Lin Fei slept until the sun set.
Zhang Qing and Zhang Xiu didn't come in to disturb them, they just heated the food over and over again.
But Dongqing was not so calm.
"Miss, don't fall asleep now. It's time for you to dress up."
"Uh...it's almost dark. Who are you dressing up for?"
Lin Feiwan was pulled up in a daze and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Of course..." Dongqing suddenly came closer and smiled mysteriously, "...I'll show it to the prince. According to common sense, tonight is your wedding night."
As she said that, she blushed and took out a pamphlet from her sleeve, "This is what Madam meant. Time is urgent. You should study hard."
You don't need to look to know what it is.
Lin Feiwan rubbed his forehead and put the booklet under his pillow.
Seeing Dongqing's expectant look, she took a deep breath.
"That Holly, I have something to tell you, but you must not tell anyone else."
"Yeah, don't worry, miss, my slave has the strictest mouth."
"Actually..." Lin Feiwan pricked up her ears guiltily and made sure there were no secret guards in the room before continuing: "Actually, the prince is not good at it."
"What, Your Majesty, he..."
"Shh... keep your voice down. If the prince knows that I told you, your life will be lost. Do you understand?"
"Hmm."
Lin Feiwan then took his hand away from Dongqing's mouth.
The little maid's tears immediately burst into tears: "No wonder the prince was not close to women before, it turns out he is inhumane, wuwu...Miss, you are so pitiful. After seeing so many betrothal gifts, I thought that the prince really liked you, thinking that you
I’m here to enjoy the happiness…”
She quickly comforted: "This is good. You don't have to fight like other back houses. I've had enough of Aunt Zhou. And you know my health. My life depends on medicine, let alone childbirth."
Heirs."
Dongqing sobbed twice, "That's true. If you tell me, one of you is inhumane and the other is a sick man, they are quite a match."
"..."
There is no need to say so.
Lin Feiwan let out a long breath and said, "So you don't have to worry about me and the prince in the future as a husband and wife, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, slave."
"Pass the meal, I want to go to bed early tonight."
Dongqing gave her a sympathetic look and said, "From now on, you will have to sleep at night. It's better to adapt to it sooner."
Lin Feiwan: "..."
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
She rolled her eyes silently. Everyone who saw Xue Qianyu's troubles during the day would probably think so.
In this way, even if she becomes the princess in a hurry, she will not be looked down upon.
But just in case something happens in the past, she can't wait passively.
Xue Qianyu has already done the first grade of junior high school, so she will do the fifteenth grade.
She was making calculations here, unaware of what kind of storm had already arisen outside.
When the lanterns came on, the capital was no less lively at night than during the day, and the Pinxuan Tea House was even more crowded with guests. Except for the third floor at the top, which was never open to the public, the second and first floors were full of people.
At this time, everyone was looking at the world on the stage on the first floor with great interest.
"As the saying goes, fair ladies are good for gentlemen. Prince God of War, who has never been close to women, actually fell in love with the young lady from the Hou Mansion at first sight and proposed marriage to the emperor and the queen mother."
"However, the prince's death is not long, so it is not appropriate to hold a wedding. Poor prince can only have unrequited love, so that the old injury relapses and his life is in danger..."
The storyteller stopped here and sipped his tea.
"Why did you stop and continue talking? Miss Houfu didn't go and take a look?"
"Go, of course I went, but this time, the prince's lovesickness became even more serious. The emperor and the queen mother couldn't bear it, so they directly issued an order to make the young lady the princess and asked her to move directly to the palace."
"The young lady has seen the sincerity of the prince, so naturally she doesn't feel aggrieved. The prince even moved to the gold and silver mountains as a betrothal gift. So far, the two of them are harmonious and happy, and their love grows old."
"Snapped!"
The gavel fell, and the audience was obviously still unsatisfied.
"Hey, don't you think this story sounds a bit like the story between the Royal Prince and the young lady from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?"
"Put it down, how can the prince have unrequited love for a woman?"
"That's not necessarily true. I saw the betrothal gift that the prince brought to the Hou Mansion. There were dozens of large boxes, which dazzled people's eyes. They are really more valuable than mountains of gold and silver."
"That's not all. I heard that the princess' hand was injured, and the housekeeper of the palace went all over the capital asking for doctors."
"Yes, yes, I was at the hospital at that time."
"Oh, if I could meet the husband in the story, it would be worth dying for."
Several women wearing curtains and hats looked up to each other and were extremely envious.
The common people who had good things to do asked the storyteller directly, "Old sir, are you talking about the current King Yu and the Lord of Jiarou County in your story?"
The storyteller clasped his fists and smiled, "Everyone, you can enjoy listening to my story. That's it for tonight. I'll take my leave."
"Hey, don't go, let's do it again."
Many guests followed suit, and the storyteller waved and smiled and left through the back door.
In the corner, a petite figure quietly exited and came to the back alley to meet Zhang Han.
"Miss, you heard everything."
"Yeah, I heard it."
"Then you still use your subordinates to fuel the flames?"
Lin Feiwan had a dark look on her face. She didn't expect Xue Qianyu to move faster than her. But did he really know the content of the story?
"No need. From tomorrow onwards, you will lead a team of people to guard the gate of the palace. When you come, there will be more noise. Make sure people know that the Lin family army is now my dowry."
"yes."
"I still have things to do, so let's take a step first."
"Miss, be careful."
Lin Feiwan nodded and jumped up to the roof, walked to a quiet place, and took out the cosmetic items from his arms.
In just a moment, she transformed from a young girl into a handsome young man.
The men's clothing she wears can be resized, so it doesn't look too baggy, nor does it make people think she is too thin.
Following Zhang Han's guidance, we saw an arena in the distance.
There were torches burning around the arena, and the area was dark and crowded with people. One or two screams could be faintly heard.
"Who else?"
The big man in the ring shouted, making people's eardrums hurt.
Lin Feiwan glanced at the man who was beaten down, lifted up his clothes and jumped onto the high platform.
"I come."
"you?"
The big man looked her up and down and said disdainfully: "You have no eyes for fists and feet. If you don't want to lose arms or legs, ask your guards to come up. Otherwise, once the fight starts, it won't be stopped until someone falls to the ground or admits defeat."
"Young man, come down quickly. The good man just now has no more than three moves under his hands. You have thin arms and legs, aren't you going to die?"
"That's right, this is not a place for showing off as a hero. If there are helpers, call a few more helpers. If there are no helpers, get down quickly."
"Come down, you can't win by yourself."
"Boy, listen to my advice and eat enough."
The big man folded his hands on his chest with a look of contempt.
Lin Feiwan sneered: "No need, I can do it alone."
The big man immediately became angry: "Oh, you are not overestimating your own abilities! Just wait and see!"
The wind from his fists and feet created cracks on the ring. Lin Feiwan used Qinggong to dodge flexibly, and at the right time, he pinched silver needles to stimulate some acupuncture points on his body.
In the eyes of outsiders, this battle was a one-sided crushing attack by the big man, and she was unable to deal with it and could only hide.
But the big man knew in his heart that she was clearly teasing him.
Every time it was just a little bit close, but she dodged it at the critical moment.
To be continued...
