Chapter 186 Fairy Lingbo

Today is a small year, and Xu Ruqing, as the mistress of Prince Wei's Mansion, doesn't have too many things to do.

Everything from the finance and internal affairs of the palace to the minor affairs of various palaces were condensed into piles of books piled on the table. Xu Ruqing had not eaten a bite of food since last night, and she felt that her eyes were not far from blindness.

"I know how many books there are left to read. Your princess is almost exhausted!"

Zhiqu looked at Xu Ruqing's tired look. If she had been in the past, she would have been distressed, but now she can only gloat. "Princess, you are just letting melons seek sour plums - asking for trouble. I have reminded you of these things before.

It's time for you to deal with it, but you only care about the things outside the city and ignore the things in the house. Now the things are piling up and it's like a hill. It's not that easy to climb over."

Hearing the teasing in Zhiqu's words, Xu Ruqing raised her dim eyes and looked at her who was watering the flowers: "You Zhiqu, you are getting more and more rude, how dare you make fun of me!"

"I don't dare." Then he muttered in a low voice, "I'm just telling the truth."

Xu Ruqing simply threw away the wolf hair in his hand and smashed it. "I am hungry. When you are hungry, you have no energy to work. I don't care if I want to eat."

"Okay, the lunch delivered from the kitchen just now is still hot. Princess, please wait here and the slave will bring it to you."

"No, I won't eat what they cook. I...I want to eat outside." Xu Ruqing said with an idea.

How could Zhiqu not know what Xu Ruqing's plan was, "Princess, let's eat at home. The food outside is not healthy, and since the last incident, the prince has punished the slave and repeatedly told the slave to keep an eye on it at all times."

You can make up for your fault by not letting you run around. If something happens to you when you go out..."

"Bah, bah, bah, what could happen to me? Stop cursing me!"

"Princess, let's just stay in the palace and wait for the prince to come back during this period. Besides, you still have a lot of things to deal with. It won't take time to deal with them after eating at the palace."

"I don't want to wait for him to come back!" When Su Yichen was mentioned, Xu Ruqing felt angry for no reason.

He went out to have a good time, leaving himself alone in the house until his eyesight was blurred. Forget it, he also forcibly installed two artificial monitors on himself, restricting her wherever she went. Now even she

How could she not be angry even though such a knowledgeable person had no choice but to succumb to his lustful power?

After all, Zhiqu couldn't resist Xu Ruqing's persistence, and two-quarters of an hour later the two appeared on Beijing South Street.

"The free air smells good, it's so refreshing!" Xu Ruqing stretched out proudly, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Zhiqu watched Xu Ruqing go her own way and followed her with a helpless expression. She was already prepared for the prince to criticize her when he came back.

"call out--"

A sharp hidden arrow was shot. Xu Ruqing, who was standing in front of the stall choosing something, suddenly felt a weak wind hit her life gate. Her consciousness was too fast to react. She quickly pulled Zhiqu aside to avoid the attack.

.

"who!"

Xuan Qing and Xuan Yu, who smelled the danger, flashed out of the darkness. They stood in front of Xu Ruqing, drew their sabers, and stared at the direction of the hidden arrow with their eyes.

A woman dressed in white and carrying a three-year-old child slowly walked from that direction. The woman wore a white chrysanthemum on her head and a bamboo basket on her wrist. Such a pale dress appeared against the red festive background on the street.

Very out of place.

"It's Grandma Huang!" Qi'er pointed at Xu Ruqing and said in surprise.

"It's you." Xu Ruqing's tone increased a notch unconsciously.

The person who came was none other than Yan Xiang'er, who had disappeared for half a month.

She seemed to be thinner, her chin became sharper, her eyes were deeply sunken, and her eyes were hollow and dull. Her originally plump body became shriveled up, but the shape of a man gradually emerged... No one can describe the look in her eyes.

No one can imagine what kind of broken soul is contained in this frail body.

"Can I talk to you?" Yan Xiang'er's voice was like misty smoke, as if it would dissipate with just a gentle blow.

"Xuan Qing Xuan Yu, please step back."

Xuan Qing and Xuan Yu looked at each other after hearing this, and finally took back their sabers and disappeared into the darkness.

"Don't you want to talk to me? Let's go. I know a quiet place."

Yan Xiang'er held Qi'er's little hand tightly, and then followed Xu Ruqing's footsteps.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the four of them arrived at the most famous teahouse in the capital.

"You really know how to choose a place. The best tea brewing place in the capital is definitely Jingmingxuan. It's been a long time since I came here to have tea."

"I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I only give you half an hour. Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiang'er smiled bitterly at first, then raised his eyes to meet Xu Ruqing's eyes: "I won't take up your time, not even half an hour, just a quarter of an hour."

"Qi'er, didn't you just say you were going to find Xiao Bai? Let the sister in green take you out to look for her, okay?"

"Okay~"

Qi'er took the initiative to hold Zhiqu's hand, but Zhiqu looked embarrassed. It wasn't until Xu Ruqing nodded to her that she left the private room with her child uneasy.

"This year's lantern festival is very lively, but such a lively festival happens to be the first seven days of Long Huai's life... It's really sad that things in the world are unpredictable. It seems that the true love between you has not been favored by God." Xu Ruqing drank.

He took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Yan Xiang'er didn't take Xu Ruqing's ridicule to heart. Her eyes lowered slightly and her gaze fell on the two daffodils clinging to the window lattice.

"Look at these two daffodils, aren't they beautiful?"

Xu Ruqing just listened to Yan Xiang'er's words but didn't say anything.

"Actually, narcissus also has an elegant name. In ancient legends, narcissus is actually a beautiful androgynous young man. His appearance is so shocking that it is indistinguishable between male and female, but because of his low self-esteem, he dare not interact with the world. He can only interact with himself by the water.

He talked and talked with his reflection in the water, and over time he fell in love with his own shadow in the water, and finally jumped into the water, and stayed with the shadow day and night. Later, two daffodils bloomed by the lake, and people passing by sometimes saw two daffodils in love at night.

The figure danced gracefully on the sparkling waves under the moonlight, so the Narcissus was given another name, Fairy Lingbo."

Xu Ruqing was fascinated by what she heard. She never expected that this ordinary pink narcissus would have such a story-telling nickname.

"This story is quite special."

"You think so too? Oh, when I first heard about this legend ten years ago, I also thought this story was very novel and special."

"Ten years ago?"

"Well, ten years ago, at the lantern festival, Huailang and I met in front of this teahouse."
