"That's right. I think that beauty is quite arrogant. Maybe she even looks down on Prince Wu Ling's Mansion!"
Qin Qingyao couldn't hear clearly what the ladies behind her were saying, but she could hear their mocking laughter and see their contemptuous expressions.
The sounds of "palace", "princess" and "beauty" floating in the wind reminded her of what had just happened outside.
He had known it clearly when he read the book, and had clearly prepared himself mentally, but when it really happened to him, Qin Qingyao was still a little at a loss.
I feel so heartbroken that I can't breathe. Maybe it's just because it's too cold, that's all.
Dugu Yu put his arm around Qin Qingyao's waist and wanted her to go inside. He instinctively didn't want her to see Lin Xiafeng, for fear that she would be angry.
But Qin Qingyao still stopped and watched Lin Xiafeng enter the room with no expression on her face.
At this time, Dugu Yu no longer had the clear conscience that he would not sit idly by when he put the cloak on Lin Xiafeng.
This is really weird. He just did a small favor to a weak woman, but why is he so flustered now as if he had committed some unforgivable crime?
He looked at the motionless Qin Qingyao somewhat helplessly. He knew her eyes too well. Even though Qin Qingyao didn't say a word, he just knew that Qin Qingyao might know everything again.
"I……"
"The cloak is quite nice. Your Highness has good taste."
Lin Xiafeng noticed that Qin Qingyao had been looking at her. She smiled dignifiedly and generously and looked at Qin Qingyao, as if she was going to come over to say hello, but this made Qin Qingyao feel timid.
She knew that she should show the dignity of a legitimate princess and she shouldn't be timid, but the other party was the heroine!
Lin Xiafeng and Dugu Yu still have a lot of plot to go on today. If she can't help jumping up and down now, she would be too weak!
She just wanted to see how powerful today's plot would be, and how much Dugu Yu cared about his 'good friend' Lin Xiafeng!
After praising the cloak, she turned and left. Dugu Yu froze in place, his whole body colder than ice. She really knew.
But why would she know?
Did she know that the cloak was not bought by him for Lin Xiafeng, but for her?
Dugu Yu now thought about all this and found it a little ridiculous. Does it matter who he bought it for? It's still draped over Lin Xiafeng.
When he came to his senses, Qin Qingyao had already walked away with Baizhi, Baiji and Murong Ce.
Just as he was about to raise his foot to chase after him, Lin Xiafeng came over and asked, "Your Highness, why are you standing in the snow?"
This question was quite unnecessary, because all the young girls and wives behind him thought that Dugu Yu was waiting for Lin Xiafeng.
"nothing."
Dugu Yu responded somewhat dejectedly and went after Qin Qingyao, and Lin Xiafeng followed him consciously.
Qin Qingyao is feeling extremely tormented right now, but the day has just begun and the heroine hasn't even started to show her power yet.
At least we have to wait until Dugu Yu and Lin Xiafeng finish the story before taking him home to settle the score.
It’s so fucking cold!
Dugu Yu felt that Murong Ce who was following Qin Qingyao was an eyesore, so he took a few quick steps and followed him.
Several people walked together, but they were all silent. There was an awkwardness in the air that was more torturous than the cold wind.
…
Ling Jingyue, who had brought the Crown Prince and other princes to the garden to appreciate the plum blossoms, turned back and saw this group of people walking together.
"Prince Wuling, why are you still here? I've been looking for you for a long time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other princes are waiting for you. Come with me!"
Murong Ce glanced at Qin Qingyao. This girl was too straightforward in her thoughts. Her unhappy mood was written all over her face, and her resistance to this plum blossom viewing banquet was also written all over her face.
She certainly didn't want to go and appreciate the plum blossoms with those princes. Besides, she was shivering with cold and had no cloak to keep warm.
He looked at Ling Jingyue and smiled warmly and politely, "My Lord, is there a warm place in your mansion where I can avoid the cold?"
"My body can't stand being in the snow, so I won't join in the fun."
When Qin Qingyao heard this, she quickly handed over the heater that she was holding tightly. It turned out that Murong Ce was so afraid of the cold. She thought she was helping him, but in fact she was stealing his things?
"I'm sorry, please take it and don't get sick."
Murong Ce knew that Qin Qingyao had misunderstood, and smiled helplessly, but he had to take the hand warmer. Otherwise, pushing and shoving Qin Qingyao in front of so many people would kill her.
Dugu Yu pursed his lips, his face expressionless, but he was very unhappy in his heart. He deserved to be frozen to death. Why are you so active? Didn't you say you didn't know him well?
Ling Jingyue shuddered inexplicably. Why did she feel that the atmosphere between these four people was so weird?
"I'm sorry, it's my negligence. Young Master Murong is afraid of the cold, so go back to the house and warm up first. Although the scenery in the snow is beautiful, it is not as important as your health!"
Murong Ce nodded, "Thank you, Prince."
Ling Jingyue called the servants and took Murong Ce to the greenhouse. Murong Ce didn't want to ask Qin Qingyao to go with him, so after hesitating for a long time, he handed the heater over again.
"I won't be cold once I get inside. Give it to the princess to play with."
I gave it to her, not to ask her to keep it for me, so she can use it without worrying about it, and there is no need to feel sorry for it, let alone return it.
Before Qin Qingyao could say anything, Dugu Yu suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. "On behalf of the princess, I would like to thank Master Murong for his kindness. I will take good care of the princess. You don't have to worry about me!"
Young Master Murong? Murong Ce curled his lips and smiled, nodded, and without saying anything else, turned around and followed the servant who led the way.
Qin Qingyao glanced at the big hand that was tightly holding hers. From the strength of Dugu Yu's fingers, Qin Qingyao could feel that this man was angry.
Why is she angry? Seeing her interaction with Murong Ce, are you jealous?
Regardless of whether Dugu Yu was jealous or not, Qin Qingyao felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and then she silently said thank you several times towards Murong Ce's back.
No matter whether Murong Ce assisted intentionally or unintentionally, he is definitely the best ally in the world!
Hehe, so, Dugu Yu should make more good friends like Murong Ce!
Dugu Yu held Qin Qingyao's hand and did not let go because the girl's hand was too cold.
Dugu Yu felt extremely guilty and his heart ached just looking at the thick and warm cloak on Lin Xiafeng!
The four of them went to the garden together. Along the way, Ling Jingyue was graceful, gentle and considerate, asking Lin Xiafeng about his well-being.
Lin Xiafeng was polite and distant, but he also unconsciously exuded a charm that made Ling Jingyue addicted and unable to extricate herself.
Qin Qingyao silently lit candles for Ling Jingyue in her heart, poor child, you are of royal blood after all, you have money and power, and you are also a top-ranked general in the whole Yulin City!
Why did he insist on hanging himself on Lin Xiafeng's paulownia tree?
Wutong tree! Unless you can defeat Ling Jingxuan and crown her with a phoenix crown, the deeper your love, the more miserably you will be exploited!
However, for Ling Jingyue, being used by Lin Xiafeng seemed to have nothing wrong. He felt honored to be able to help the person he loved.
And his final outcome was not bad either. The original author did not treat him unfairly in any way except forgetting to find him a wife.
Finally, he returned to his fiefdom and lived as happily as an emperor. Apart from the fact that he "longed for Lin Xiafeng so much that he couldn't sleep at night", he had no other worries.
Think about it this way, did the original author really have a grudge against Dugu Yu, and just picked on him to bully him?
The more Qin Qingyao thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Dugu Yu. She unconsciously tightened her grip on his big hand. She had completely forgotten about Dugu Yu's visit to the palace and the cloak he had given her.
In the garden, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, four princes, two princesses, Ling Jingjue, Ling Anli, as well as young men and young ladies from various families, more than twenty people were appreciating the plum blossoms in the heavy snow!
At this moment, Qin Qingyao really felt that she was just a vulgar person and could not understand the elegance of the aristocracy. She still preferred Murong Ce's honesty.
Sure enough, anyone who can serve as Dugu Yu's military advisor and form an alliance with her has a clearer mind!
"King Wu Ling, why did you come just now?"
A large group of people looked at Dugu Yu, with smiles on their faces, but the gleam in their eyes seemed meaningful.
There is nothing wrong with bringing your own princess along, but what about bringing the sixth daughter of the Lin family along?
If Ling Jingyue didn't go looking for that person in person, wouldn't the three of them feel awkward together?
They didn't have much time to imagine, and the first female knight beside Lin Xiafeng jumped out to clear the way for her.
"Sister Feng'er, why did you come just now? I was just about to send someone to look for you!"
Princess Anli ran over and took Lin Xiafeng's hand affectionately, "Come and help me, they are too bullying, saying words that I can't understand, please help me to punish them!"
After Ling Anli said this, she successfully shifted everyone's attention to Lin Xiafeng. They all started to cheer her on and asked her to recite poems and make couplets.
The heroine's halo really did not deceive me. As soon as she appeared, she became the absolute central figure among this group of chosen ones.
Everyone else just became a background figure, just responsible for clapping and cheering.
Although she has such a thin body, she has such a unique charm.
The pure and flawless cloak blends in with the heavy snow, looking both pleasing to the eye and adorable.
Qin Qingyao was staring at Lin Xiafeng in a trance when she suddenly heard Duguyu's voice in her ears, "What do you think?"
Qin Qingyao blurted out very honestly, "She's beautiful, stunningly beautiful. If I didn't have any objections to her from the bottom of my heart, I would have fallen for her."
Dugu Yu frowned, "I'm asking you, how did the poem I just wrote go?"
Qin Qingyao blinked in confusion, "Huh?"
What poem? I was so engrossed in watching the heroine gleam that I didn't hear her...
