Lin Zhiya sent someone to take a letter back to the palace, informing her that she could not return to the palace tonight.
Fortunately, Lord Yuan covered for them and made up a story that Lin Zhiya sprained her ankle and couldn't go down the mountain.
The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Zhiya came to the room prepared for her by Lord Yuan. It was very quiet around, and no one came in or out.
The cook brought the food and said stiffly, "Just tell me what you want to eat, Madam. The fire is still burning, so we can cook anything."
Lin Zhiya’s meals are mostly vegetarian, but they are all quite exquisite. You can tell that they are made with great care by the cook.
Lin Zhiya said: "It's already very good, you can go and get busy."
After finishing her meal, Lin Zhiya rested in the room for a while. Feeling bored, she prepared to go out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, the students were playing Cuju tonight, and many torches were lit in the academy's venue, illuminating the ground very clearly.
These people were all young students, wearing thin clothes, and their bodies were full of sweat when they ran. Lin Zhiya could see the lines of their waists and thighs.
...
...
Now she is not sleepy anymore.
Such scenes were rare, so Lin Zhiya found a place to sit down, with a group of weak students sighing behind her.
Student A: "I used to be very agile, but now I am not as good as before. I haven't played for a long time."
Student B: "I came from a poor family and have been weak since childhood. I have never experienced the feeling of running and jumping. I hope that one day I can play with everyone."
Student C: "I didn't eat enough today, so I'm not fit to play... Look who that is?"
Lin Zhiya looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the high-spirited young general Chi Xuanye coming on the field.
Young General Chi usually looks tall and slender, but this time Lin Zhiya refreshed her impression. He is worthy of being a young general. As soon as he came on the court, he left the others far behind.
Before long, the field became his one-man show.
Student A was stunned. "This is too much of a bully."
Lin Zhiya couldn't help but nodded and agreed: "It's really bullying."
The Cuju game entered the second half. The students were feeling hot and tore off their restraints one after another, staring at their biggest enemy, Chi Xuanye, like wolves.
Chi Xuanye chuckled and crushed the students in the second half.
Lin Zhiya watched the students walk away dejectedly. Just as she was about to leave, Chi Xuanye came up to her and spoke to her with his head down: "When I was young, no one in the capital could beat me."
Is he showing off?
Lin Zhiya also knew how powerful he was, so she didn't feel guilty about flattering him: "Of course, how can a mere mortal defeat the young general?"
Chi Xuanye was amused and followed Lin Zhiya back spontaneously. At first, Lin Zhiya didn't notice anything wrong.
After walking through the long and secluded path and arriving at the door of Lin Zhiya's residence, Lin Zhiya belatedly asked Chi Xuanye: "Why are you still following me, young general?"
They stood on the steps. Under the corridor, there were two lanterns emitting soft light, swaying in the wind. The night breeze was very comfortable, blowing on Lin Zhiya's jade-like cheeks.
Chi Xuanye raised his chin and was unwilling to speak easily, feeling a little reserved.
Lin Zhiya didn't want to waste time with him. She had already placed one hand on the door. "It's late. If everything is fine, see you tomorrow."
Just as she was about to push the door open and go in, Chi Xuanye behind her took out Lin Zhiya's purse from his body, but did not give it to Lin Zhiya. He just said, "I have always wanted to ask you, are you happy as Wanpin?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Zhiya puffed up her cheeks in frustration. She felt that their relationship was not good enough to discuss such things.
If she told Chi Xuanye that she was unhappy, would Chi Xuanye complain to Zhao Chen, and then Zhao Chen would take the opportunity to punish her?
By the way, Zhao Chen and Chi Xuanye grew up together, and are much closer than Lin Zhiya, who lives on the same street.
Lin Zhiya would be stupid to talk nonsense to him...Besides, being Concubine Wan is not bad. She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Lin Zhiya thought for a moment and told him an official answer: "Being a concubine is an honor, and all the ministers in the court want to send their daughters to the harem."
Chi Xuanye didn't know what he was thinking of. His expression became colder. He whispered, "Even if your future is not good, you are not willing to leave?"
Everything is going smoothly now except for Chi Rong. Chi Xuanye said that the ending will not be good in the future, and Lin Zhiya can only think of one possibility.
That means Chi Rong is going to exert his strength! Or maybe Chi Xuanye is finally going to show his claws for Chi Rong!
Lin Zhiya hesitated for a moment: "...Not really."
Chi Xuanye knew that she had misunderstood again. He approached Lin Zhiya, scaring her so much that her back pressed against the door, and then he smiled particularly sweetly.
"Yaya, let's elope."
It's not inside the palace, but outside the palace. There are no guards, and the moon is full tonight.
It's really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lin Zhiya was about to speak when she was interrupted by Chi Xuanye. He looked at her with a burning gaze and said, "Listen to me first. I am the heir of the Chi family. I have thousands of acres of fertile land in Chongnan. I will be awarded a title for my merits in guarding the border. You will be my legal wife."
Lin Zhiya was horrified and puzzled, "I'm already married, and I have Xiao Xiong. General Chi, are you sick?"
Lin Zhiya's face turned red. She had never encountered such a scene before.
He was not like that before he entered the palace. After entering the palace, Zhao Chen was even more reserved. Suddenly hearing Chi Xuanye's nonsense, Lin Zhiya felt that her brain was at a loss.
Chi Xuanye didn't take it seriously. He had a wolf spirit in his bones. "There are many wild beasts in the mountains. Wanpin was eaten by wolves. Lin Zhiya and I will return to Nanchong."
He smiled gently: "There is nothing I can do about Zhao Yuanling. After all, he is the emperor's son. I can't steal him."
Lin Zhiya finally calmed down, "General Chi, I still have to talk to you. We have not had much contact before, and your words will only make me feel abrupt."
Lin Zhiya: "Not to mention that we have no emotional foundation and I won't elope with you, I can't give up Xiao Xiong either. Your escape plan is too idealistic."
Overall, Chi Xuanye's conditions are not attractive to Lin Zhiya.
She has land and money.
Chi Xuanye's expression remained unchanged, but Lin Zhiya didn't know that his hand under his sleeve had been pinched until it bled. "I can only promise you a legal wife, but Yaya can never be the queen."
Lin Zhiya secretly complained that she didn't care about the legal wife either.
As for not being able to be the queen, is what Chi Rong said true?
Chi Xuanye patiently coaxed: "You should have heard some rumors about the deceased queen who never showed her face. The imperial teacher was at Chi's house when he made the divination. All the flowers in the capital died during the day."
He said: "We can talk about our affairs later, but Yaya, please save your life first, and don't expect to be the queen."
Lin Zhiya was not very happy. She suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Chi Xuanye: "General Chi must have a reason for doing these strange things. Why...why did he elope? Why did he approach me?"
