When Ling Yue arrived at Yude Hall, she saw Jun Zechen sitting lazily and casually on the couch, holding a book nonchalantly in one hand. His eyes seemed focused, yet a little wandering.
"Aze."
Ling Yue called softly with a gentle smile on her face.
"Well, sit down."
Jun Zechen didn't even raise his head, but just responded casually, his voice as flat as water.
"Aze, I came here today to ask you about the arrangements for this year's Flower Festival."
Ling Yue looked at him with eyes full of anticipation.
When Jun Zechen heard Ling Yue mention the Flower Festival, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have promised Ling Yue that he would accompany her every Flower Festival, and he couldn't help feeling irritated.
My mind was racing with thoughts of how to refuse, when suddenly an idea struck me.
If he refused directly, Ling Yue would probably become suspicious if she had memories of her previous life.
But Su Jingyao is the only person whose trajectory is completely different from that of her previous life, and this difference is also fueled by Ling Yue. In this case, let's use Su Jingyao as an excuse.
"Well, I took you to Linlang Street last year. This year, let's go to Fanhuali. The concubine has just entered the mansion, and she is a little girl who also likes such festivals. I agreed to take her with me."
When Jun Zechen said this, there was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were a little vague.
He didn't want to be alone with Ling Yue, so he might as well bring someone interesting along.
When Ling Yue heard this, her smile froze instantly, and her eyes, which were originally full of expectation, dimmed a little.
Jun Zechen had told her the same thing in his previous life.
What is Jun Zechen's attitude towards Su Jingyao? If he likes her, why doesn't he stay overnight in Shuening Palace? If he doesn't like her, why does he take her out with him during the Huachao Festival?
Why has she changed so much in this life, but some things seem to be developing along the same trajectory as in her previous life?
But since Ling Yue had already pretended to be magnanimous in front of Jun Zechen, she naturally would not refuse.
"Concubine Chunliang, it would be nice if you could go with us."
Ling Yue forced a smile and tried to make her voice sound calm and gentle.
"Just Aze, let's go to Linlang Street, okay? I want to play Xinghualing. Although I'm not good at poetry, as long as Aze is here, I will definitely win. When I win some paper, I want to write my best wishes to Aze."
Ling Yue composed herself, pretended to be looking forward to it, and leaned forward slightly.
In her previous life, Su Jingyao secretly went to Linlang Street and deliberately asked Jun Zechen to find her. Ling Yue didn't know whether the series of events that happened later were arranged by Su Jingyao, but since she knew Su Jingyao's true identity, she no longer believed in coincidences.
If Su Jingyao continues to be scheming and manipulative in this life, it will be a good opportunity for Jun Zechen to see her true face.
"I went to the Flower Festival to accompany you. Since you want to go to Linlang Street, then let's go to Linlang Street."
"As long as you're happy."
Jun Zechen's expression remained indifferent, and he seemed to have no interest in the Flower Festival.
"Yes, Aze is so nice."
Ling Yue's face bloomed with a smile again, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After getting a satisfactory answer, she originally wanted to stay overnight in Yude Hall. After all, Jun Zechen had been staying at Su Jingyao's place these days.
"Your Highness, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Ling Yue's voice was soft, with a hint of suggestion.
"I'll read a book for a while. If Yue'er has nothing to do, go back and rest."
Jun Zechen's eyes never left the book, his tone was cold and distant, and his hands did not stop turning the pages.
Ling Yue wanted to say something, but her lips moved and a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
But seeing that Jun Zechen's eyes were always fixed on the book, as if he was ignoring her, she didn't say anything more.
I could only stand up and leave awkwardly, "Then I won't disturb Aze anymore. Aze, remember to rest early."
-
Time flies, and the annual Flower Festival arrives as scheduled.
Linlang Street.
Su Jingyao was wearing a delicate yellow waist-hugging skirt. The fabric of the skirt was as silky and smooth, and it was slightly shiny under the interweaving of moonlight and light.
A pure white belt was tied around her slender waist, the edge of which was embroidered with delicate patterns. The tassels swayed gently as she walked, and the gems inlaid on them sparkled like stars.
Her makeup also carefully matched the outfit. Her fair face was lightly powdered, and her cheeks were faintly flushed with pink.
Her eyebrows are like distant ink, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes have a bit of smart charm. Her cherry lips are painted with fresh lipstick, which makes her look more delicate and lovely. Her pair of bright eyes are like clear lake water, smart and pure.
She walked on Jun Zechen's right, while Ling Yue was on Jun Zechen's left.
Both sides of Linlang Street are bustling with activity, and the aroma of various snacks fills the air, making people salivate.
The dazzling array of ornaments on the jewelry stalls sparkled under the lights, and the noodle soup stalls were steaming hot, full of the flavor of life.
Because it was the Flower Festival, the streets were already lined with numerous lanterns hung by the government. The lanterns were in various shapes and colors. Even in the dark, they were as bright as day, lighting up the entire street like a dreamscape.
Ling Yue looked at this scene, and suddenly recalled the scene in her previous life when she went out with Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao to the Flower Festival.
At that time, she fully believed in Su Jingyao's innocence, and she laughed and talked all the way.
At that time, she was not only very interested in the Flower Festival, but also wanted to show off Jun Zechen's specialness and favor to her in front of Su Jingyao. She was protected by Jun Zechen and became innocent and naive without any scheming.
However, when she returned to that day, she wanted to pretend to be as carefree as before, chatting and laughing with Jun Zechen without any care, but it seemed difficult to do so.
