make friends
During the entire physical education class, Lin Yan wanted Aning and Song Xi to spend time together, and even put them together when they formed a team for archery.
In Zhong Ningning's eyes, this meant that her elder sister only cared about her now that she had a new younger sister.
After the class, Lin Yan and Guan didn't have much interaction. The only tacit understanding between them was that they both rushed to ask Lin Yan to teach them archery.
Lin Yan didn't know how good Zhong Ningning was at archery. After finding that the two of them couldn't get closer, Lin Yan glanced at Zhong Ningning and went to teach Song Xi archery.
Zhong Ningning didn't know Song Xi, but Song Xi knew Zhong Ningning. As early as when they met in Mingju Tower, the emperor's uncle refused to talk to her, so Song Xi sent someone to investigate Lin Yan.
Although Lin Yan's true identity could not be found out, it was still possible to find out what Lin Yan did in Beijing and who he was related to.
Song Xi blindly worshipped and liked Lin Yan, so he felt a little jealous and envious of Zhong Ningning for having a sister like Lin Yan.
Lin Yan spoke in a gentle voice and carefully told Song Xi how to shoot an arrow, warning him to be careful not to hurt himself.
Song Xi listened attentively, looking well-behaved and obedient.
Zhong Ningning couldn't help rolling her eyes as she watched from the side, sulking alone.
Zhong Yuxi, who was watching this scene, thought to herself, "Zhong Ningning is still a little girl competing with others for her sister's favor. If she were in modern times, she would be a junior high school student."
When Lin Yan heard this, although she didn't understand the second half of the sentence, she understood the first half. She turned to look at Zhong Ningning who was still sulking, and Song Xi who had been asking her to teach archery, and she understood instantly.
However, when the time came, Lin Yan announced his dismissal and did not have time to explain things to Zhong Ningning.
When Song Xi just arrived at the academy, Lin Yan took the initiative to take the task of helping her get familiar with the academy.
After reading this, Zhong Ningning became even more jealous and her lunch was no longer enjoyable.
After school, Zhong Ningning deliberately stood at the entrance of the academy and refused to leave.
Lin Yan saw Zhong Ningning standing there from a distance, and with a sense of mischief, he walked straight out of the academy, pretending not to see Zhong Ningning.
Zhong Ningning coughed, and seeing that Lin Yan didn't hear her, she coughed a few more times. Seeing that Lin Yan was getting farther and farther away, Zhong Ningning shouted, "Sister."
Lin Yan then stopped and turned around with a smile: "Why is Aning here? Why hasn't she returned home yet?"
Zhong Ningning ran over, put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Sister, you did it on purpose."
Lin Yan nodded at Zhong Ningning and said, "Someone has been sulking all day, and I, your sister, am thinking about how to coax her."
Zhong Ningning looked awkward and said in a muffled voice, "So you knew, why are you still like this?"
Lin Yan put his arm around Zhong Ningning's shoulders and took her into a sedan chair.
As soon as Zhong Ningning entered the sedan, she was shocked by the furnishings inside. The sedan looked plain on the outside, but it was a different world inside. It was obvious that it was not from an ordinary family.
However, no matter how luxurious the sedan was, it couldn't make Zhong Ningning happy, because she saw Chen Xi.
"Hello, Miss Shen." Even though she didn't like the other person, Zhong Ningning still greeted her out of politeness.
"I brought you here to tell you that Miss Shen's surname is actually Song," Lin Yan said.
"Her surname is Song and she is from the royal family. What is her relationship with Brother Xie?" Zhong Ningning was used to calling Song Yizhou that and she hasn't changed it back yet.
Lin Yan: "Song Xi is A Zhou's uncle"
"Princess Yong...Princess Yong'an" Zhong Ningning's voice trembled with surprise.
Song Xi took out a pen and wrote on the paper: "I'm sorry for causing you to misunderstand."
Zhong Ningning quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
The moment she knew Song Xi was Princess Yongning, Zhong Ningning understood why she was so close to her elder sister. Her elder sister had saved her, so it would be strange if she was not close to her. Besides, she was Brother Xie's niece.
Lin Yan sighed helplessly. He had originally hoped that the two of them could become good friends, but now Aning was afraid that she would not dare to get close to the princess.
Pulling Zhong Ningning out of the sedan chair and watching Song Xi return to the palace, Lin Yan looked at Zhong Ningning and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to have dinner. I know you don't plan to go back home for dinner."
Zhong Ningning smiled and said, "Sister still understands me."
Just when Lin Yan thought that Song Xi and Zhong Ningning would have difficulty getting to know each other.
After Song Xi had been in the academy for half a month, Lin Yan saw the two of them going to the academy restaurant hand in hand.
Lin Yan: “”
To know how Zhong Ningning became acquainted with Song Xi, we have to start from the time when she forgot to bring a pen to a math class.
The teacher of the arithmetic class was extremely strict. Students who forgot to bring a pen would be punished by standing outside for the entire class.
None of Zhong Ningning's classmates brought extra pens, so at the critical moment, Song Xi gave her a pen.
At that moment, it was as if a god had descended.
Afterwards, the teacher asked Song Xi to answer the question, and Zhong Ningning came to the rescue immediately.
At lunch time, Zhong Ningning did not go to the restaurant. Instead, she went up to Song Xi, who also did not go to the restaurant, and thanked her.
Song Xi picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "No need to thank me, you helped me too."
After that, the two of them opened up and started talking, as if they had found a confidant, and they had endless things to say.
Song Xi and Zhong Ningning talked about how dangerous Jinhua Temple was and how Lin Yan saved them. Their words were full of admiration for Lin Yan.
Zhong Ningning immediately resonated with the situation, "Sister rescued me from the human traffickers back then, and I was just like you back then."
In this way, the two found a common topic, Lin Yan.
Lin Yan asked Zhong Ningning how they knew each other, but both of them refused to say, and Song Xi blushed.
This left Lin Yan puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. The friendship between the little girls was really strange. He thought that these two were destined to be good friends.
As for Song Yizhou, he has been annoyed by Song Jingmo for some time.
Ever since learning that the emperor's uncle had agreed to let Song Xi go to the academy, Song Jing had been filled with envy.
Song Jing's brain was almost rusted from staying in the palace all day long to learn how to review memorials and handle government affairs.
The only sister who accompanied him in the palace was not in the palace all day and ran outside the palace, which made Song Jing even more painful.
Song Jing was forced by Song Yizhou to read memorials in the imperial study every day, and every day he would clamor to go to the academy outside the palace like Song Xi.
"You are the current emperor. You need to handle government affairs. Why do you need to leave the palace?" Song Jing is not as easy to talk to as Song Xi in front of Song Yizhou.
"Uncle, please let me go out of the palace to play for a while. Since I was born, I have never stayed outside the palace for more than a month."
Song Yizhou was annoyed by his noise and ordered someone to watch over Song Jing: "You are not allowed to sleep until His Majesty has finished reviewing the memorials."
"Uncle, you are so cruel!" Song Jing went crazy.
Song Xi, who had just returned from the Imperial Academy, heard that the emperor's uncle had locked up Song Jing in the imperial study, so he ran to find Song Jing with the cakes he had brought from outside the palace.
Song Jing looked at Song Xi who was walking towards him, his eyes dull and full of despair at facing a pile of memorials.
Song Xi placed the pastries on the table, and after testing for poison, he gave them to Song Jing to eat.
"The stream is still good, it still remembers me as its brother"
Song Xi gestured and said, "There are so many delicious and fun things outside the palace. Sister Lin is a very nice person, Aning is also very nice, Aning's mother is a very good cook, and she treats me very well. The palace is too boring, I don't even want to go back."
Song Jing collapsed after hearing this, "Xishui, how could you be like this? You're stabbing me in the heart. Are you still my considerate sister?"
Song Xi blinked and pretended not to understand what he was saying. She could assure herself that she was not trying to show off. Well, absolutely not.
Song Jing was in so much pain that he had lost all hope and even started to gossip about his uncle.
"Xishui, since you are with Miss Zhong and Miss Lin all day long, do you know what the relationship is between the emperor's uncle and Miss Lin?"
Song Xi thought for a moment and wrote on the paper: "The emperor's uncle didn't grow up in the capital since he was a child. He never told us where he was. Aning told me that the emperor's uncle grew up with Lin Yi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and Sister Lin. Lin Yan is Lin Yi's sister. Later, the emperor's uncle was recalled to the capital by the emperor's grandfather, and only now has he made his identity clear to Sister Lin."
Song Jing scratched his chin, "So, Miss Lin and the Emperor's uncle grew up together as childhood sweethearts."
He slammed the table and said, "The emperor's uncle won't always be in love with Miss Lin, right?"
Song Xi was surprised and wrote: "That shouldn't be the case."
"Of course not. Have you seen any woman around the emperor's uncle over the years?" Song Jing asked.
Song Xi shook his head.
"Haven't you noticed that the Emperor's uncle has become much more talkative recently? He seems to be in a good mood."
Song Xi nodded. He was easy to talk to, but wasn't "like a spring breeze" too much of an exaggeration?
"Xishui, just believe me, we will soon have a royal sister-in-law."
Song Jing was so immersed in his discovery that he was completely unaware of the danger coming.
"Have you finished reviewing the memorial?"
"No, don't disturb me," Song Jing said casually.
He suddenly felt a chill behind him. Seeing Song Xi pointing behind him, Song Jing's back stiffened. He slowly turned his head and revealed an expression that was uglier than crying: "Uncle, I was wrong."
Song Xi bowed and quietly left, leaving Song Jing alone to face the storm.
"After reviewing today's memorials, copy the scriptures fifty times." Song Yizhou left after leaving these words.
"No, uncle, I was wrong." Song Jingtian collapsed.
Song Yizhou walked out of the palace gate. The sky had completely darkened and a moon hung high in the sky. He looked at the moon and thought about Song Jing's words: "Could it be that the emperor's uncle is in love with Miss Lin?"
The answer to the question of whether Song Yizhou was attracted to Lin Yan was inevitable. However, Song Yizhou could no longer remember when it started.
Maybe it started when Lin Yan stood in front of him to protect him when he was traveling in the martial arts world many years ago, or maybe it started when Lin Yan personally made a bowl of longevity noodles for him on his birthday, or maybe it started when the two of them were drinking and watching the moon together one night and his heart skipped a beat when Lin Yan looked at him. In countless heart-pounding moments, Song Yizhou knew that he could not escape.
When he left without saying goodbye, Song Yizhou thought that there was no possibility for the two of them to be together anymore. Perhaps after he left, Lin Yan would meet the man of her dreams and then travel around the world with him.
Until today, Song Yizhou didn't dare to ask Lin Yan if she had someone she liked, and he didn't dare to express his feelings, for he was afraid that the answer he got would not be satisfactory.
Under the moonlight, Song Yizhou's shadow was stretched very long, and the loneliness of his back could be vaguely seen.
Lin Yan patted Song Yizhou's shoulder and muttered, "Why don't you come back home? I'm waiting for you to have a drink."
Song Yizhou turned to look at Lin Yan, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Let's go back home and have a drink."
The two of them strolled on the street. Under the moonlight, their shadows seemed to be in the same place. Song Yizhou suddenly felt that this was fine, as long as Ah Yan was still by his side.
