Chapter 174
"My lord, what do you want me to see?"
Lin Yunwan looked at Yan Jingzong walking with a maid on the Yong Road.
There was a faint smile in Qi Lingheng's eyes: "Can't you see it?"
Lin Yunwan took another look and saw that the maid had a very voluptuous figure and fair skin. She looked like a beauty at first glance. If a maid like this were clever, she would be a proud girl in any house.
Gradually, she heard the maid chatting and laughing with Yan Jingzong. She covered her face and smiled shyly, but Yan Jingzong's expression did not change.
The maid took out a soft and fragrant flower note from her sleeve, handed it over and said softly: "...I heard that Master Yan is very good at poetry, and I have also learned some rough lessons. I wonder if there is a chance to get some guidance from Master Yan?"
Yan Jingzong was stunned.
He didn't expect that the maid of the Zhao family would suddenly say such things to him.
"How can I read this girl's boudoir work?"
Yan Jingzong took a step back and refused at first.
The maid put away the flower note shyly, lowered her head and said in fear: "I'm the one who's being abrupt. The slave...the slave...I just heard that the young master...the slave has no other thoughts."
She bit her lip, as if she was ashamed, and buried her head in front to lead the way, whispering: "I will never say anything out of line again. Master Yan, come with me!"
Yan Jingzong stood behind her and looked at her for a while. The young girl's face was so ashamed that she was bleeding.
He lowered his head and thought for a while.
"The sage said that there is no distinction between education and distinction. Could it be that a maid cannot read, read, recite poems and write lyrics?"
After talking to himself for a while, Yan Jingzong sighed and said, "Girl, let me take a look for you."
The maid turned around and took out the floral note from her sleeve with surprise. She was very happy and said: "Master Lao Yan."
After reading a poem on the letter, Yan Jingzong's expression changed. This maid really worked hard and was very particular about her words.
"...the girl made good words. Good sentences!"
The maid said happily and humbly: "I often think about it at night, so I came up with this humble composition, which is not comparable to the young master."
Yan Jingzongcai said to her: "The word "ping" is used correctly in this poem. The word is used wonderfully, but the artistic conception is a little worse."
"Master, how should I improve?"
The maid's eyes were full of curiosity.
This stopped Yan Jingzong. He thought about it, returned the flower note, and said, "There is a book of lyrics. I gave it to the girl. She can just buy it and study it herself."
"Girl, if you have put in so much effort, it must not be difficult to read the lyrics."
He told the maid the name of the musical score.
The two of them went further and further apart...
Lin Yunwan looked away and asked Qi Lingheng, "What does the prince want me to see?"
See how the maid got close to Yan Jingzong?
Qi Lingheng's eyes were deep: "...Do you think it was arranged by me?"
He said: "This is not the first time that the Yan family has come to the Zhao Mansion. This maid has long been attracted to Yan Jingzong."
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly: "So what?"
Qi Lingheng continued: "If the Zhao family indulges the maid and leaves her alone, what do you think will happen in the end?"
The answer is obvious. If a man cannot refuse a woman's advances from the beginning, as long as the woman is interested, the man will probably not be able to resist.
"This is just a maid from the Zhao family."
"Lin Yunwan, many, many more things like this or that will happen in the future. Don't you find it annoying?"
Lin Yunwan's smile faded.
She said softly: "This kind of thing will always happen, and you, my lord, will also encounter this kind of thing. What's more, Yan Jingzong has compassion for the maid, but he has not acted out of bounds. He has already It was handled very well and decently.”
"No one can predict what will happen in the future. I can't think of the worst in everything, can I?"
Her eyes no longer looked at Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng looked at her and said, "I can't."
"Can't do anything?"
Lin Yunwan couldn't understand.
Qi Lingheng said: "This kind of thing will never happen to me."
Lin Yunwan frowned in confusion.
Qi Lingheng took a step closer and whispered: "No woman can come close to me unless I give my permission."
Lin Yunwan frowned: "What will happen if we get closer?"
"will die."
Qi Lingheng couldn't have said it more plainly.
Lin Yunwan quickly turned around and looked around her... Are there hidden guards somewhere? She knew that emperors, crown princes, and princes had their own secret guards around them to protect them at all times.
Qi Lingheng smiled and said: "Don't look. There is no one now."
Seeing her frightened look, he found it very interesting and forced himself to put his hands behind her, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to help but want to do it.
Lin Yunwan looked back at him, and after a while, she sighed softly.
Qi Lingheng was very puzzled.
Lin Yunwan asked him: "Why...why did you do this?"
She couldn't figure out why the prince wanted to marry her.
"My lord, you know my identity better than anyone else. Marrying me will not help you at all."
She is no longer Lin's legitimate daughter, and the reputation her father accumulated during his lifetime has nothing to do with her.
Since there is no political purpose... they shouldn't take things like love and love too seriously.
Lin Yunwan said: "Who are you not marrying?"
There is really no need for them to get married.
"Lin Yunwan. There is no reason."
Qi Lingheng looked at her calmly and said, "I just want to do something natural."
Lin Yunwan was confused, why did she just let nature take its course?
It was hard for Qi Lingheng to explain... He didn't think he valued her much at first, but he just wanted to marry her.
"Lin Yunwan, since this kind of thing will always happen, and we can't predict what will happen in the future. Why don't you consider me?"
"I will never treat you badly."
"I meant what I said. Think about it again."
Lin Yunwan was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, I can't predict what will happen if I marry someone else, but no matter what happens, it will be something I can handle. Marrying you... the consequences are unpredictable, and I can't handle it. thing."
"I really don't want to cause any more trouble for myself."
Qi Lingheng was also silent.
He understood very well that she didn't want to cause trouble for herself. To put it bluntly...she just didn't want to endure trouble for him.
Lin Yunwan was afraid that Qi Lingheng would be tempted again in the future, so she said cruelly: "You don't have to go to all the trouble to see me like today. If it weren't for you today... I wouldn't have known that Yan Jingzong still likes poetry. You have helped me. .”
Qi Lingheng's eyes suddenly darkened, and he smiled helplessly: "How could I forget... you are also good at poetry and articles."
Just look at the article she wrote that stirred up disputes among Jishan Society scholars. If she wanted to win Yan Jingzong's heart with these things, wouldn't it be easy?
He is self-defeating.
Lin Yunwan didn't care what Qi Lingheng thought, she lowered her head and knelt down and said, "Farewell."
She walked back based on her memory, found Xiruo, and returned to the place where Zhao Mansion was hosting a banquet.
When Mrs. Zheng saw her, she impatiently scolded her: "You know how to run around! Other girls are composing poems. Haven't you studied with Aunt Fan for so long? Go and try it too!"
Before Lin Yunwan went there, she heard a little girl next to her prepare a poem and send it to a woman. She called her "Mrs. Yan."
She looked up and saw that it should be Yan Jingzong's mother. The silhouettes of mother and son looked very similar.
It seems that Mrs. Zhao is asking Mrs. Yan to help evaluate poems?
"Girl, are you going?"
Xiruo asked in a low voice, if the girl wanted to go, she would go over and help with the ink grinding.
Lin Yunwan said nothing.
She should actually go...
"If grandma hasn't taught me how to write poetry, I won't go."
Lin Yunwan said this to Xiruo and Zheng, and she also said this to herself.
