Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Jealousy
The flying boat docked in front of the main gate of Zheyuan Palace, where Ling Huaixu and a group of Zheyuan Palace disciples had been waiting for a long time.
When getting off the flying boat, Yuchi Xianyue handed his hand to Ling Fuying.
Ling Huaixu frowned slightly and stared at Yuchi Xianyue's hand, but saw that Ling Fuying didn't even look at it and flew to the ground.
Today she was wearing the most ordinary green dress, but standing next to Yuchi Xianyue who was wearing a turquoise Taoist robe, they looked like a perfect match.
Ling Huaixu's gaze fell on Ling Fuying's face and paused. She seemed to have changed in some way, but also seemed to have changed nothing.
The disciples of Zheyuan Hall were stunned upon seeing her, staring at Ling Fuying in bewilderment. Was this still the Second Young Lady they knew? When she appeared, she shone brighter than the most precious pearl. Even without a smile, it was impossible to look away.
But when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed her appearance. Then why had he never noticed that she was so beautiful before?
In everyone's mind, Ling Fuying was just an inconspicuous second lady. They would only see her when the Palace Master appeared. But now she seemed like a completely different person.
They couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yuchi Xianyue who was beside her. Could it be because she was married?
But they heard that Yuchi Xianyue was not kind to the second young lady. Thinking of this, they felt indignant again. Why did Yuchi Xianyue treat the second young lady like this? How dare he?
Facing the angry gazes of the crowd, Yuchi Xianyue naturally knew what was going on. Although he had always been admired, this was the first time he felt the feeling of being hated. All this was thanks to the wife beside him.
Yuchi Xianyue looked at Ling Fuying, but she ignored him.
He could only look away as if nothing had happened and maintain his gentlemanly appearance.
The group got off the flying boat one after another. The two-story flying boat turned into the size of a walnut and flew into Yuchi Xianyue's sleeve.
When Ling Fuying approached, Ling Huaixu's gaze stopped at her fair wrist, where she was wearing a jade bracelet, not the gold bracelet she had worn before.
He had never seen Ling Fuying wear this jade bracelet in Zheyuan Palace. Was it Yuchi Xianyue? Ling Huaixu stared at Ling Fuying and said, "My sister and the domain master must have been exhausted from the journey. Please come in."
But her sister never even glanced at him from beginning to end.
When Ling Fuying heard him say the word "sister", goose bumps broke out on her arms. What was wrong with him? He used to call her a "tail-cat". Now that she was older, he restrained himself a little, but he definitely wouldn't call her "sister".
"Xiaoman and I are already married. Brother, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Zhuoguang." Yuchi Xianyue said with a smile.
Ling Huaixu lowered his thin eyelids and did not answer, thinking that Yuchi Xianyue was really good at putting on a good show.
He saw Ling Zhouci and Shen Fuxue behind them, exchanged some pleasantries, and then they walked into the gate of Zheyuan Palace under the gaze of their disciples.
Coming back here, Fu Ying's tense nerves couldn't help but relax, after all, this was the place where she had lived for many years.
She was reborn on her wedding night with Yuchi Xianyue. It had been two years since she last came back. This place was no different from before, but she still stared at every flower and grass in Zheyuan Palace.
The banquet had already been prepared in Zheyuan Palace, which was considered a family dinner, if Lingzhouci was not there.
After all, he and a few other people were the only ones here, and they had no relatives or friends. However, since they were guests, Ling Huaixu would not drive them out no matter how arrogant he was.
The five people sat in a circle, with Yuchi Xianyue and Ling Huaixu sitting on Ling Fuying's left and right, and Chen Fuxue and Ling Zhouci sitting opposite him.
"I don't know what you like, Lord Domain, so I've prepared all the dishes that Xiaoman likes. If you want to add anything, please feel free to tell me." Ling Huaixu put a piece of fish cake into Ling Fuying's bowl, but she took it away and put it on the bone plate beside her.
Ling Huaixu's smile gradually disappeared, but after seeing that the shrimps that Yuchi Xianyue had picked up for her were also picked up by her, her mood improved a lot.
Yuchi Xianyue naturally also noticed Ling Huaixu's hostility towards him, but it was normal. After all, his wife was smearing his reputation outside, and when her eldest brother-in-law heard about it, he was naturally dissatisfied with him.
But soon, Yuchi Xianyue and Ling Huaixu both lost their smiles. They watched Ling Fuying put the water chestnuts that Chen Fuxue had picked up into his open lips and slowly swallowed them.
Yuchi Xianyue looked at her quietly, her plump lips and the pointed teeth that showed when she chewed. He couldn't help but think of the kick she gave him that day.
If you bite him like this...
He frowned, feeling that his thoughts were strange.
Ling Fuying simply wanted to eat that dish, but the water bamboo shoots were too far away from her. Chen Fuxue just happened to pick it up for her, so she naturally had no reason to refuse.
Shen Fuxue brought it to her and she ate it without noticing the confrontation on the table.
Seeing her eating, Shen Fuxue curled his lips. He forgot about the cold treatment he had received from Ling Fuying a few days ago and focused on picking food for her.
As for Ling Zhouci on the side, he stared at Yuchi Xianyue and was very dissatisfied with his attention to Ling Fuying, but he had no position. They were husband and wife, and he was just an outsider.
Ling Zhouci really had no appetite. Inadvertently, he noticed Ling Fuying who was concentrating on eating. She was not in a good mood these days, but he didn't know the reason. Maybe it was because of her bad relationship with Yuchi Xianyue?
But even so, her appetite remained unchanged. She ate so much but didn't gain weight. Ling Zhouci glanced at her thin body sitting in the wheelchair, and her face became a little gloomy.
He tentatively picked up a piece of water chestnuts that Ling Fuying had eaten and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully. The sweet taste filled his mouth. He suddenly thought it tasted not bad and swallowed it slowly, mouthful by mouthful.
Suddenly his eyelashes trembled. He and she were eating wild rice stems together. They were both chewing like this. The tip of her tongue... the heat slowly rose to her cheeks.
The guard was quite surprised to see him eat it, thinking that the young master used to hate such sweet and salty things the most.
Ling Zhouci looked over, and the guard quickly lowered his head and put some wild rice stems into his bowl, "Young Master, if you like it, please eat more."
After all, he is weak. If the continent master knew that he had an appetite, he would probably be very happy. It would be good for him to eat more and grow taller.
Ling Fuying turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. She finished all the food and planned to leave the table after eating. There was nothing for her to reminisce about with Ling Huaixu.
After dinner, she prepared to return to her own chambers. Yuchi Xianyue followed her, but Ling Huaixu said, "Yuchi Yuzhu, Xiaoman and I live too close to each other. I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for you to live with her. I've already prepared accommodations for you and Young Master Lingzhou."
"Sulin, why don't you take the two of you with you?"
Yuchi Xianyue wondered how close Ling Huaixu meant by "living close".
He smiled and said, "Don't bother. Xiaoman and I are already married, so we should live together. I'm worried that she might wake up in the night, so it's better for me to stay with her."
It wasn't that he had to live with Ling Fuying, but he just didn't like others arranging things for him, so he smiled and politely declined Ling Huaixu's proposal.
Although he appeared calm on the outside, he felt a little annoyed in his heart. Getting married can be really troublesome sometimes. If he had known this earlier, he would never have mentioned coming back.
"Domain Lord, don't worry about this. I will pay attention to it." Ling Huaixu said again.
Yuchi Xianyue knew that even if he followed Ling Fuying to her bedroom, she would refuse him entry. He was not in a good mood today, so he simply followed Su Lin to the courtyard arranged for him.
At this time, Ling Fuying had already walked out of the palace and headed towards her residence. She pushed the door open and entered the bedroom. Seeing the familiar furnishings and the bed covered with a moon-white quilt, she wanted to pounce on it and roll around a few times.
This place was exactly the same as when she left, without any changes. Although the bedroom was not big, it had everything she needed, making her feel at ease.
Have a good sleep first, and worry about the rest after you wake up!
Several lights were on in the room. Under the dim light, Ling Fuying, who had just finished bathing, sat in front of the dressing mirror wearing a gauze dress, carefully combing her long black hair.
But she didn't notice that, just behind the lattice window, stood a tall figure. Ling Huaixu was very tall, even taller than the door. He had a handsome, objective appearance, with eyebrows that reached his temples, lips as pale as water, and thin, slightly drooping eyelids. He looked both noble and aloof.
At this moment, his ears turned red and his thin lips were stretched into a straight line.
It was a hot day, and Ling Fuying soaked in the hot spring for a long time, until she felt drowsy, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her little face was flushed. She quickly turned on the breeze system in the room to cool herself down.
The coolness came over her, and she instantly came back to life. She found a book and lay on the bed to read it, with half of her snow-white legs lifted up. She was greedy, so she picked up a peach on the table and started to eat it. She bit the peach flesh into her mouth, and the juice moistened her lips.
At this angle, he could even see the curve of her loose collar.
This made Huaixu's throat dry, and he quickly looked away.
Ling Fuying noticed something and looked out the window, but there was no one there.
[System, is there anyone outside? ]
【No one is here.】
I stood up and walked to the window, looked around, and sure enough, there was no one there.
She closed the window and sat back down on the bed.
A hundred steps away, Ling Huaixu's mind kept echoing with the image of Ling Fuying just now.
Although they were far apart, he could ignore the barrier of distance. The girl was so close to him that he could even see the hairs on her face, her lips and teeth... and the tip of her tongue.
To him, Ling Fuying was nothing more than a small tail that could be summoned and dismissed at will...
Ling Huaixu tightened his jaw and fell into self-doubt, thinking that he might have been a widower for too long.
