Chapter 448 Lin Huo asks for help
I still remember when Lin Huo left, no one could have imagined that Le Yi, who was always optimistic, cheerful and carefree, would follow him without hesitation. Even when the imperial concubine sent people to chase him, they were unable to stop him.
I won’t comment on Prince Yu, but I have nothing to say about how he treats Le Yi, his only biological sister.
Le Yi's smooth departure had nothing to do with luck, but was entirely due to Prince Yu's protection of his sister.
People are complicated, some are good and some are bad.
At least for his sister Le Yi, Prince Yu is a brother who truly cares about her best.
The two grew up together. When Le Yi talked about her childhood, she would always smile and proudly say that thanks to her good brother, she was able to grow up carefree in the palace without being bullied by anyone.
At that time, the imperial concubine had to lie low. Even though she gave birth to a son and a daughter, Prince Yu, who was a prince of the royal family, and Le Yi also suffered a lot of bullying and malicious looks.
It's no exaggeration to say that the two siblings have supported each other along the way. The imperial concubine gained the emperor's favor, and their circumstances completely changed.
Behind pride, there are countless humiliations and even on the back.
Zheng Ci sighed and lowered his head.
He didn't even know when Pei Ji came in.
"What are you thinking about?" Pei Ji's gentle voice fell from above his head.
"Nothing," he said, pointing to a letter. "Le Yi is coming back. She probably doesn't know about her brother and mother's situation yet. The letter is so optimistic and happy. I guess Lin Huo has kept everything a secret."
Pei Ji took her into his arms and the two of them snuggled together tightly.
"Are you worried that she'll blame you?"
"No, I'm not worried." Zheng Ci said softly, "I just feel sadder knowing she won't blame me."
She buried her head in Pei Ji's warm chest, as if she felt safer that way.
Outside, the snow whistled by. It was already deep winter. The weather was getting colder, and my shoes were soaked through in no time as I stepped on the slippery ground.
"careful."
Tian'er slipped, fell backward, and someone grabbed her arm, causing her to fall into someone's arms.
When I stood firmly, I saw that it was Alin.
He was wearing a white robe with white fur on the collar. He had become much whiter over the winter, and his entire face was immersed in the fur, making him look both handsome and profound.
"I'm fine." Tian'er's cheeks turned red. She struggled to stand up and patted the fallen snow on her skirt.
"Your shoes are wet."
Tian'er: "The roads are slippery on snowy days, so it's common for cloth shoes to get wet."
A Lin frowned, and the next second, he raised his hand, passed it under her armpit, and picked her up.
Tian'er screamed subconsciously and pushed him, "What are you doing?"
"Your shoes and socks are wet. Be careful not to get sick. I'll take you home."
"I can walk by myself." Tian'er turned her head away.
"It's so slippery. Do you want to fall on your butt again?" Alin laughed mercilessly and then strode towards Tian'er's room.
Now both of them have broken that layer of paper and expressed their feelings to each other, and everything is tacitly understood.
As long as they wait for the proposal next year, Tian'er will officially be A Lin's wife.
From a distance, Zheng Ci was followed by a girl in a red cloak. She had her hair tied up in a bun, her eyes were bright and proud, and there was a charming smile on the corners of her lips. Who else could it be but Le Yi?
"That's Tian'er, right? She's been promised to someone else."
Both of them saw what happened just now.
Zheng Ci smiled and nodded, "Yes, it was promised to one of Pei Ji's followers, named A Lin. He is a kind, gentle and down-to-earth person."
Le Yi smiled, and the rubies on her ears reflected charming light, making her look bright and charming, but she had not changed since she left Beijing.
Zheng Ci couldn't help but look at her in a daze.
"Tian'er also came from my princess's mansion. When they get married, I will definitely send them a generous gift. It can be considered as a perfect match for our destiny."
"Then I will thank the princess on Tian'er's behalf."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Le Yi held her hand affectionately. "You said in your letter that you gave birth to a son. Where's Hu Zi? I haven't seen him yet. We agreed before that if you had a child, I would be the child's godmother. Don't even think about going back on your word."
Zheng Ci laughed, "I'm so happy that Hu Zi has you as his godmother. I'm just afraid that he'll be so arrogant in the capital in the future."
Le Yi: "My godson is not afraid even if he walks sideways."
The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at Zheng Ci's yard. Hu Zi was being walked by his nanny. The fat little boy walked crookedly, just like a little duck.
Seeing this, Le Yi's eyes lit up and she liked him as if he were her own son, so she reached out her hand without hesitation.
Hu Zi was not shy either. He stared at the strange and beautiful Le Yi with his big eyes, smiling with his missing teeth showing and saliva flowing down.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Ci was about to pick up Hu Zi and wipe his saliva to prevent it from dirtying Le Yi's skirt.
Unexpectedly, Le Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped him herself.
"Where do you need to come in person?"
After wiping, Le Yi touched his little face and said, "So cute, his eyes are like yours, and his facial features are like Pei Ji. Zheng Ci, you are really unlucky. You worked so hard to give birth to a son who only looks 30% like you. I just hope that the child I give birth to in the future will look like me."
Her cheeks flushed as she finished speaking.
Zheng Ci laughed, "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already thinking about having a baby?"
Le Yi glared at her and said, "I'll let you tease me. You know I love children. I will definitely have a big and lively family with many children and grandchildren in the future."
She snorted softly before handing Hu Zi to the wet nurse.
Immediately, the maid beside Ran opened a box, which contained a set of exquisite jewelry.
"These are the gifts from me, your godmother. The necklace and bracelets were made by me according to Tiger's zodiac sign. Aren't they cute?" She picked up the pieces one by one to show them. Sure enough, the carved patterns on each piece of jewelry were lifelike.
You can tell the care put into it at first glance.
Zheng Ci was very happy. What was important was not the gift but the thought behind it.
The two of them came back in a hurry and had to find time to make jewelry. You can imagine how much effort Le Yi put into it.
Just as they sat down to drink tea, a maid came into the room and said, "Princess, Master Lin said he would be returning to the Lin family today. He sent this servant to call you back."
Le Yi finally stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. I agreed with Lin Huo today that I would go back to see his father. His father has been a widow for many years, and he wants to wait until the house is ready and then take his father to live with him."
Zheng Ci nodded: "Since you have something to do, go ahead and do it. After all, we will have plenty of time to get together when we return to the capital."
Le Yi: "That's right."
After that, the two separated.
Two days later, Pei Ji was taking a day off. He was resting by the fire with Zheng Ci in the house when he heard the maidservant rushing in.
"Madam, Master, there's a man called Lord Lin Huolin at the door asking to see you."
