Lan Linxue led a large group of people directly to Lanting Garden. Jun Yannuo had received the news long ago and had come out early with his men to kneel and welcome them.
Lan Linxue sat in the car for a long time without moving.
Qin Kou'er bowed to greet the emperor, but finally couldn't wait any longer and couldn't help but peek inside: Our Crown Prince was actually asleep in the carriage!
Qin Kou'er lowered her head again quietly. She couldn't afford to offend her master, so she endured it.
In the end, Gao He, seeing so many people kneeling to welcome her, realized it wasn't a good situation. He cautiously opened a corner of the gauze curtain and peeked out. Lan Linxue was still fast asleep, clearly exhausted from the previous night. She was sleeping soundly like a child.
Gao He quickly withdrew his head. Having followed Lan Linxue for many years, he knew that disturbing her at this moment would inevitably result in his head rolling, or at the very least, fifty lashes. He wasn't about to risk his life for that.
So, Lan Linxue remained unconscious, and everyone else stayed still. The sun was blazing hot, relentlessly evaporating the sweat from the people on the ground.
Qin Kou'er felt that waiting for the old man to go to sleep like this was not a good idea, so she secretly took out a copper coin from her sleeve, flicked her finger, and swiftly threw it at Lan Linxue inside the carriage.
The copper coin was so fast that those around Lan Linxue only saw a blur before something flew by so quickly that it didn't even disturb the curtains, but bounced into the carriage through the gaps.
Lan Linxue suddenly woke up because the copper coin had hit him right between the eyebrows and bounced to the ground.
"who?"
A thunderous roar came from inside the car, and Gao He and the others quickly bowed and knelt down, but then there was no further movement inside the car.
After Lan Linxue finished shouting, he saw the copper coin that had fallen to the ground, and he immediately fell silent.
Cold and fierce, he stared at the copper coin. His morning grumpiness was raging, his face was contorted with anger, and his brows were furrowed tightly. He stiffly controlled himself to stop himself from rushing out to grab that dead woman, kiss her to death, bite her to death, and completely shut her mouth to suffocate her!
Finally, after taking his third deep breath, Lan Linxue closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his face still filled with gloom. He bent down, picked up the copper coin, and with a cold, lazy gesture, lifted the gauze curtain and walked out.
Gao He quickly stood up and hurriedly called to Huang Yu behind him, "Quick! Quick, shield me from the heat! What will happen if I get too hot!"
Lan Linxue's face was stretched so long it looked like it was about to fall to his feet. He had originally intended to glare fiercely at Qin Kou'er, but the sunlight was so intense that he could barely open his eyes.
He tilted his head and glanced at the sun in the sky. "Gao He! Tell me, what should I do if that thing is making my eyes water?"
Gao He quickly smiled apologetically, fanning Lan Linxue as he said, "Oh dear, what kind of status does our Crown Prince have? Is it worth getting angry with a dead thing in the sky? Just you wait, wait until midnight, and see how this old servant deals with it. It definitely won't dare to come out again!"
Qin Kou'er almost burst out laughing. It must be because Lan Linxue's temper was so bad that the old servant had to coax her like a child and do whatever she wanted.
Lan Linxue seemed very satisfied with the answer. She nodded, walked to Qin Kou'er's side, looked down at her, and spoke for a long time, but her fingers were crushing the copper coin as if she wanted to crush it.
Qin Kou'er straightened her back but didn't raise her head.
"Why are you sticking your back like that? Are you trying to assassinate me?" Lan Linxue squinted and started being unreasonable, continuing to torment him with his morning grumpiness.
Qin Kou'er raised her face.
"What are you looking at? You see me standing in the sun, why don't you stand up and invite this prince inside? Do you want me to die of heat?"
Qin Kou'er suppressed the urge to kick him to death, stood up with a forced smile, and bowed in a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, please!"
"I can't walk!" Lan Linxue slumped her shoulders, raised her face, and wore a shameless expression that said, "I want to die, what can you do about it?"
Just as Qin Kou'er was about to speak, Jun Yannuo, who was kneeling on the other side, said loudly, "Knowing that Your Highness the Crown Prince has had a long journey, the Pavilion Master has specially arranged a soft chair for you. Please come in, Your Highness!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him.
Immediately, four people carried over an extremely elegant soft couch.
Lan Linxue glanced at her, curled his lip, and turned back to cause trouble for Qin Kou'er. Qin Kou'er, however, glared at him and gave him a "don't go too far" look, while secretly clenching her fist.
Lan Linxue snorted, turned around, and sat down on the soft couch with an air of superiority.
"Huh?"
As soon as Lan Linxue sat down, she exclaimed in surprise. She touched it from all sides and found it to be cool, soft, and very comfortable.
"What happened?" Lan Linxue immediately asked curiously, just like a child.
Jun Yannuo smiled elegantly, looked up at Lan Linxue and said, "The Pavilion Master knows that the Crown Prince has had a long and arduous journey, and the sun in Yangzhou is very strong. In order to make the Crown Prince more comfortable, I specially instructed my subordinates to prepare a cool couch for him to relieve his burden. The bottom is made of deerskin soft padding made of cold water, so it is quite cool to sit on."
Lan Linxue was immediately delighted upon hearing this. She swayed from side to side, then beckoned Qin Kou'er with her finger.
Qin Kou'er walked up to them with her perfect smile.
Lan Linxue leaned on the armrest, looking sweetly at Qin Kou'er, and asked softly with a smile, "You prepared this especially for me? You care about me so much? Were you captivated by my good looks again? Be more reserved! I've already moved in, I'll have plenty of good times ahead of me!"
Qin Kou'er took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
Gritting his teeth, he whispered in Lan Linxue's ear, "Get inside right now! If you stand here any longer, I'll either die from the heat or be tortured to death by you!"
Lan Linxue's alluring fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. "Getting hot?" She casually patted the seat next to her. "Sit here! It's cool here!"
"roll!"
Qin Kou'er turned around cleanly and said with a smile to Gao He, who was staring at her suspiciously with his ears pricked up, "Eunuch, the Crown Prince wants to go in!"
Gao He hurried to see Lan Linxue.
Lan Linxue pouted boredly, glared at the back of Qin Kou'er's head, and lazily waved to Gao He.
"Prepare the carriage! Enter the garden!"
Immediately, a large group of people entered the park.
