Chapter 264 Wei Yanwan 4
"And I still want to give them some? I usually help them sell embroidery and silk threads, and bring them medicine and flowers. I must have helped them a lot, they should be thanking me!"
Ling Yunche held Wei Yanwan's purse very reluctantly. He wanted to set up an altar to enshrine the snacks Yanwan gave him, and how could he share them with others?
"Stupid! If they hadn't sold their embroidery and brocade, where would you have gotten your commission? And who would I have sold my medicine to? Without that money, how could I have been assigned to such a nice place?"
Wei Yanwan poked him twice, "I've always fed you well, but you're so stingy!"
Although he was scolded by Yan Wan, Ling Yun Che seemed to be in a good mood. It was this impolite attitude that showed that Yan Wan's feelings for him had not changed, and their friendship was as good as before.
Ling Yunche was naturally scolded and reluctantly returned to the cold palace. Although he didn't want to share it with others, he still listened to Yan Wan's words, took half, wrapped it in clean oil paper, and gave it to Ruyi and her servant.
"Is this sent by your fellow villager again?"
Ruyi took the oil paper, opened it and laughed, staring at him with a bit of ridicule.
Ling Yunche coughed twice in embarrassment and said in a vicious voice, "I'm sharing food with you, yet you're still talking too much? Do you want to eat it or not? If not, give it back to me."
"They specifically asked you to share some with us, so why would you take it back?" Ruyi laughed even more happily. She raised the oil paper in her hand, leaned against the door, picked up a piece and ate it, not forgetting to comment:
"The snowflake pastry from the imperial kitchen is really good. It's amazing that your fellow countryman sent you this hard-to-find pastry, even though it was overnight."
"Even eating can't stop you from talking." Ling Yunche said unconvincedly, but couldn't help but be curious: "How did you know it was mine? Well, my fellow townsman asked me to share it with you."
"Do we even need to guess?" Ruyi snorted, pointing to the pastries in her hand. "Ever since that day when you asked me what Concubine Chun was like, you've been slipping a few pastries into her pockets every now and then. At first, whenever惢心 took a look at them, you'd boast to her that they were gifts from a fellow villager, saying you didn't have enough to eat and told her not to expect anything more."
"But within two months you reluctantly gave it to us."
"In this world, the only two people who can make someone do something against their will are your superior and... your fellow townsman."
Ruyi paused deliberately, and at the end of her speech, she couldn't help laughing. Ling Yunche glared at her and couldn't help but smile shyly.
That silly look of happiness made Ruyi happy and envious. She was very happy to see these lovers supporting each other and being sincere to each other.
"I think your fellow countryman must be a gentle, kind, and intelligent person."
Ling Yunche gave her a clever look, his eyes filtering through his eyes as he spoke, "Yan...my fellow countryman, she's got great looks and comes from a good background. But her family has fallen on hard times, leaving her with a pair of relatives who only know how to suck her blood. Unfortunately, she only has her mother and brother left, so she's forced to endure the hardships of the palace. The money she saves each month almost all goes towards filling the bottomless pit at home."
"But she never complains about herself. When the Sizhiku was poor, she worked hard to save money and found a way to move to Zhongcui Palace. Now she is valued by the master. Unlike me... I can only stay in the cold palace for my whole life, with no future."
"This doesn't seem like the Ling Yunche I know." Ruyi raised an eyebrow at him and asked deliberately, "Could it be that your fellow villager despises the poor and loves the rich, and is a vain person who pursues fame and fortune?"
"Of course not, she has never disliked me!"
Ling Yunche immediately retorted, then felt embarrassed when he saw the smile on Ruyi's face: "I just feel that the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. In fact, today, I felt like she seemed to have something on her mind, but when I asked, she just shook her head..."
"Do you think she still has you in her heart?"
"Of course! I have her in my heart too!"
After Ling Yunche finished speaking decisively, he felt his mind suddenly enlightened: "Thank you for your enlightenment. I will definitely have a good chat with her next time we meet!"
"That's right. The most important thing for people in love is to trust each other. Never be suspicious of each other, otherwise it will easily hurt each other's feelings." Ruyi nodded with relief, and unconsciously thought of Hongli, and her heart became unusually sour again.
"Anyway, thank you very much." Ling Yunche only remembered Yan Wan's instructions at this point and quickly added, "My fellow townsman said that she is now living in Zhongcui Palace, and it is difficult for her to get medicine because there are so many people around, so she gave me the prescription. But I don't understand these things, so please wait for a while."
"It's okay. What you gave me before is enough for two days. We'll talk about it after it's used up."
A few days after the two of them said this, the Imperial Hospital sent Jiang Yebin to treat the people in the cold palace, which just solved the urgent needs of Ruyi and the others.
Meanwhile, Ling Yunche, who had been trying to find a chance to talk it over with Yanwan, was always dismissed by her, saying she was busy lately. He opened his mouth several times, but seeing her dark eyes and the busy look on her face, he had no choice but to keep quiet, planning to wait until winter and spring, when she was less busy, to have a proper conversation.
Yan Wan, however, did not intend to wait until spring. She had recently avoided Hai Lan and had already started a conversation with the Emperor in the Imperial Garden. However, in the past two days, in the public eye, she had been respectful, just like Ke Xin around Concubine Chun, never overstepping the boundaries in her actions.
But it's no surprise that the emperor is more interested. Li Yu follows the emperor all day long, and when he sees Yan Wan's appearance up close for the first time, his heart skips a beat.
Not only does she have a youthful face that's no less beautiful than the beauties in the harem, but she also has a bit of Ruyi's demeanor when she raises her head.
The disciple is better than the master. With such appearance, even if the girl has a dull personality, she is enough to attract the self-proclaimed romantic scumbag Long Hongli.
What's more, it's still unclear whether she is a piece of wood.
Hongli was feeling down today, even refusing to let Li Yu follow him. He wandered alone through the Imperial Gardens, unknowingly arriving at the plum grove. Looking up, he saw Wei, the woman who had recently piqued his interest, and reached out to pick a red plum blossom.
The bright red plum blossoms are sparse and dense, making the little face without makeup look whiter than frost and snow.
"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty."
It was not until Wei Yanwan knelt down to salute that he realized he had walked up to her.
"Get up," Hongli looked at her hugging Hongmei and asked for some reason, "Do you like Hongmei too?"
"I like trumpet creepers. It was my favorite when I was young, and it hasn't changed now."
Seeing the emperor looking at the red plum blossoms in her hand, Wei Yanwan mistakenly thought he suspected she was lying, so she explained, "The white snow in winter is certainly a unique sight, but I'm worried that it might damage your eyes if you stare at it for too long, so I wanted to pick a branch and put it in a vase for you to enjoy in your spare time."
"You are willing to put in the effort, and you are quite clever."
Hongli sighed in an ambiguous tone, but no emotion could be heard in his voice.
"The Emperor has instructed this servant to serve the eldest prince wholeheartedly, and I dare not disobey."
