After Leng Yan left, he went to the hall where the queen was. When Leng Yan stepped into the hall, he saw the queen kneeling there with a pious look on her face.
Hearing the voice, the queen opened her eyes and stood up with the help of the palace maid. She looked at Leng Yan and asked, "Yan'er, is there anything you are interested in?" Leng Yan shook her head and said, "I will accompany you for a walk, mother."
The Queen smiled and said "OK" after hearing this, then took Leng Yan's arm and walked out. When they reached the hall where the statue was originally made, the Queen looked at the half-finished statue in the hall and asked the palace maid beside her: "Who is this statue for?"
The palace maid behind him immediately stepped forward to ask, but was stopped by the Queen before she took a few steps. She said to Leng Yan, "Yan'er, let's go and ask." Leng Yan nodded in agreement.
When the Queen and Leng Yan reached the palace gate, the palace servants behind them immediately stepped forward to ask the supervising monk who the statue was for.
The monk performed a Buddhist salute before answering, "This is a statue for Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess. A few days ago, she single-handedly stopped many monks and protected countless innocent people. Such merits are comparable to those of gods and Buddhas." Upon hearing this, the queen turned to look at Leng Yan, but Leng Yan's eyes were blocked and she could not see the emotions in Leng Yan's eyes.
But the Queen could still tell from Leng Yan's slightly lowered head that she didn't care. The maid retreated behind the two of them. The Queen sighed and said to Leng Yan, "Let's go and have a look somewhere else." Leng Yan nodded softly, and then the two of them left. After walking a distance, the Queen said to Leng Yan, "Yan'er, what do you think of what happened just now?"
Leng Yan said calmly, "Mother, I have no objection to this matter."
The Queen felt somewhat helpless after hearing this. Yan'er always had an indifferent attitude, which had always made them very worried. With Yan'er's nonchalant attitude, who knew how many people in the cultivation world would bully her. At this moment, the Queen had completely forgotten Leng Yan's glorious deeds a few days ago when he single-handedly killed thousands of people.
The Queen looked at Leng Yan and asked, "Yan'er, do you feel better now that you've left the palace for some fresh air?" Leng Yan looked at the Queen and nodded, but her voice was emotionless as she said, "Mother, I'm very happy now." The Queen couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at Leng Yan's expressionless face. She realized that her little daughter seemed extremely emotionally indifferent.
Feeling the Queen's gaze on her face, Leng Yan raised a very shallow arc at the corner of her lips, and said seriously: "Mother, I am very happy now." If Leng Yan was not wearing a veil at this time, the Queen would see that there was no emotion in Leng Yan's eyes, as calm as a pool of melted snow without the slightest fluctuation.
Leng Yan has been feeling a little strange these days. Ever since the battle a few days ago, she has felt that her emotions have become increasingly indifferent. At the same time, she feels that she is about to make another breakthrough, but she lacks an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow her to break through.
Now she is slowly forgetting how to play an emotionally indifferent person. She almost doesn't know what a normal person's mood is in a situation. How can she play a normal person without letting others discover her abnormality?
If Wen Shi knew that she practiced the ruthless path, she couldn't imagine what he would do. Would he destroy her cultivation and her path, forcing her to start over? Or would he hold on to those unrealistic hopes of warming her heart and destroying her path? In the past, Leng Yan might have felt some confusion and curiosity, but now, when she thought about it again, she no longer felt anything.
This feeling was strange, as if all of one's emotions had been stripped away. It was a strange feeling, but Leng Yan thought it was good. At least this way, one could always maintain rationality and not be easily influenced by others.
Leng Yan felt that she should carefully observe other people's expressions in different situations so that she could better disguise herself.
Later, Leng Yan no longer remembered how she returned to the palace. After all, she felt that there was no point in remembering unimportant things.
On the second day after returning to the palace, Leng Yan got up and washed. She looked at the palace maid who was helping her wash and asked, "What kind of expression would someone have when they are happy?"
The maid was so frightened by these words that she knelt on the ground and asked carefully, "Princess, what do you mean by this?" Leng Yan took the veil that was placed beside her and put it on. After putting it on, she turned her head and looked at the maid from under the veil and said, "I don't mean anything. I was just asking. If you don't want to answer, please leave."
The maid felt relieved when Leng Yan said this, but she still didn't dare to stand up. Leng Yan said, "Get up." The maid stood up, and Leng Yan said calmly, "I want you to leave quietly."
The little palace maid stood still when she heard Leng Yan say this. Although she didn't know what the princess meant by the question she had just asked her, she had to answer since the princess asked her.
Leng Yan didn't hear any footsteps for a long time and turned around. The little palace maid saw Leng Yan looking at her and pinched the corner of her clothes. Then she knelt down and said, "Princess, I will answer the question you asked me just now."
Leng Yan nodded after hearing this and said, "Go ahead." The little palace maid said, "A person's expression is different when they're happy. If they're extremely happy, they'll laugh out loud, and if they're in a good mood, they'll just smile softly."
Seeing that the palace maid was about to continue speaking, Leng Yan raised her hand slightly to stop the little palace maid from saying anything. She said, "Just demonstrate it to me." After hearing this, the little palace maid raised her eyes and looked at Leng Yan. Although the princess was wearing a veil, she could still feel that the princess was looking at her with a faint gaze.
Thinking of Leng Yan's face, the maid blushed. She swallowed and then demonstrated to Leng Yan how to smile. Leng Yan watched intently. She memorized the smile and, after the maid stopped, followed her memory. She pursed her light-colored lips slightly, then raised the corners of her lips into a curve. The curve was shallow, but it gave the impression of melting ice and snow.
Leng Yan stood up, waved her hand and said, "You can leave." The palace maid stood up, bowed and then left the Chaolu Palace.
Leng Yan was quietly looking at the ancient books sent by her royal brother and sister in the palace, but what she didn't know was that what she did this morning soon reached the ears of the emperor, empress, and several of her royal brothers and sisters.
Leng Yan was summoned by the Emperor not long after. After dealing with the Emperor, Leng Yan was summoned by the Empress again. Leng Yan explained that she was bored in the palace. This reason made sense, so the Empress did not ask any more questions.
Leng Yan returned to her own bedroom, and soon the fourth brother arrived, holding a snow fox. The snow fox looked listless in Leng Li's arms, occasionally tugging at his arm and sometimes baring its teeth at him. It seemed that the snow fox didn't like Leng Li very much.
Leng Li walked into the hall. Leng Yan noticed the movement, put down her pen, looked over, and saw the snow fox in Leng Li's arms pulling at Leng Li's arm.
The snow fox also noticed Leng Yan's gaze looking over, and saw a little blind man who it thought was very pretty.
