After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 99: Floating Lights and Shadows
Lin Luoling frowned, but Jiang Chi pretended not to notice and continued eating his cakes.
It was at this moment that Lin Luoling noticed that the look in Prince An's eyes when he looked at her was no longer full of pity like before, but rather had a little more tenderness and pity.
Near noon, lunch was served in the back hall. Although the dishes at Jingfu Temple were vegetarian, they were extremely delicious. There were several dishes that even Lin Luoling found delicious.
Princess July was a lively person, chattering about her interesting childhood memories.
From what Princess July said, Lin Luoling discovered one thing. In the harem, Princess July was not only favored by the Queen Mother and His Majesty, but even Prince Jin and Prince Rui were very nice to their cousin Princess July.
During festivals, Prince Jin and Prince Rui would give Princess July many interesting little items to cheer her up.
At Princess July’s birthday banquet, even the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen would personally prepare birthday gifts for Princess July.
Without a great favor, or a close blood relationship, very few people would be able to hold someone in such high esteem, let alone in a palace filled with intrigue and scheming?
Princess July's father was General Wu Gedi, who had conquered the south, and her mother was Princess Chang'an. After Wu Gedi died in battle, Princess Chang'an personally led her troops to massacre two cities in the south. On the way back to the capital, she contracted an illness and died.
After Princess Chang'an's death, Wu Gedi's military power was taken over by his younger brother Wu Gelie.
Lin Luoling once heard her aunt Lin Yuru say that Wu Gelie had 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands.
How could the King of Jin and the King of Rui, who wanted to inherit the throne, not want to recruit 30,000 elite soldiers under their command?
This is why Prince Jin and Prince Rui are so kind to Princess July.
Princess July was not stupid, and naturally knew the personalities of Prince Jin and Prince Rui. Although the small items that Prince An gave Princess July during festivals were very inconspicuous, they were made by Prince An himself. Every year at Princess July's birthday banquet, Prince An would make a lifelike silver zodiac and give it to Princess July.
Princess July loved them very much and said with a smile that she was almost collecting fourteen.
Prince An was not good at speaking, seldom spoke, and coughed from time to time.
Lin Luoling asked him if his cough was getting better.
Prince An smiled and replied, "It is impossible to cure the disease in this body. I can only rely on the medicine soup to support it."
It was very rare to hear Prince An say something jokingly to Lin Luoling.
He said: "I hope I can live to see the day when you and Zhu Xianzhi get divorced."
Lin Luoling knew that Prince An was not ill at all and was just pretending, but if she still didn't understand what Prince An meant after hearing what he said, then she would be stupid.
Pursing his lips and saying nothing, Prince An glanced at Lin Luoling several times. Seeing that Lin Luoling's expression was obviously full of rejection, he said no more. After eating a few more bites, he said he was tired and asked Master Jing'an to find him a place to rest.
Master Jing'an called the steward over and arranged an empty meditation room for everyone. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or intentional.
Lin Luoling's meditation room was very small, but it was adjacent to Prince An's, separated by only a wall.
The rain showed no sign of stopping in the afternoon, but instead got heavier. When it was time for dinner, the manager of Jingfu Temple asked several nuns to pack the dishes in lunch boxes and send them to their meditation rooms, saying that the rain was too heavy and asked them to eat in their own rooms.
Lin Luoling felt bored having dinner alone, and thought Chen Yin was in the Zen room on the other side, so he opened an oil-paper umbrella and knocked on the door.
Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was Jiang Chi. Jiang Chi rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What's the matter, sister?"
Lin Luoling was slightly stunned and asked, "I remember Sister Chen Yin came here with me just now, why are you staying in this meditation room?"
Jiang Chi rubbed his forehead and said, "Princess Qiyue asked Sister Chenyin to go play in another courtyard. Because it was raining too hard, she stayed in the Zen room over there."
After saying that, Jiang Chi said, "I'm extremely sleepy. Please eat by yourself, sister, and don't walk around!" Then he closed the door.
When Lin Luoling reached the door of her meditation room holding an oil-paper umbrella, she saw Prince An wrapped in a cloak, carrying a food box, and smiling:
"It's boring to eat alone, how about eating together?"
Although Lin Luoling and Prince An had met several times, it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room. When she was thinking about how to decline, Prince An had already entered her meditation room with a food box, put the food box on the table, and personally moved a wooden stool for her. He smiled and said:
"I am a prince, not a tiger. If you have any concerns, just open the door."
Hearing this, Lin Luoling, who was standing in the rain with her shoes and socks wet, twitched the corners of her lips a few times, and had to go inside to have dinner with Prince An.
Only after sitting down did I realize that the food box that Prince An brought was filled with only meat dishes.
An Wang Chao gestured to her to keep quiet, took out the dishes from the food box one by one, poured two glasses of wine and said:
"This is the plum blossom wine from Zuixianzhai in the capital. It is a rare pot of wine, and it tastes great. Drinking one can warm your body."
When Lin Luoling heard that it was the wine from Zuixianzhai, he naturally knew how rare it was.
Zuixianzhai's wine is extremely famous, and even if it is ordered in advance, no more than two jars of wine can be brewed.
Just talking about the plum blossom wine from Zuixianzhai, Lin Luoling's aunt Lin Yuru has said several times that she wants to bring back a jar for Lin Tingxu.
As a result, every time I went to Zuixianzhai, the owner said it was fully booked.
Even though this is just a pot of plum blossom wine, it is worth thirty taels of silver in Zuixianzhai in the capital, and that is a price that can be obtained by ordering it from Zuixianzhai.
Lin Luoling took a sip, and the strong scent of plum blossoms penetrated into her nostrils, and she suddenly felt as if she was under a plum tree.
The plum blossom wine tastes a little cool when it goes down the throat into the stomach, and instantly a heat wave surges up to rush through every part of the body.
Lin Luoling was shocked at how delicious the wine was. She raised her eyelids slightly and saw Prince An's eyes, which were as clear as spring water and seemed to be able to melt the ice and snow for thousands of years. He looked at her with a faint smile that never blinked.
Prince An reminded him, "Although it tastes good, don't drink too much. Plum wine tastes sweet. If you drink another cup, you'll get drunk."
Afterwards, Prince An used silver chopsticks to pick up each dish and gave it to Lin Luoling to eat, just like an elder brother who had not seen his sister for a long time, and all his accumulated tenderness was revealed.
Lin Luoling was at a loss as to what to do. She wanted to thank Prince An, but Prince An did not give her the slightest chance. When she put down her chopsticks, Lin Luoling suddenly realized that the three dishes of meat that she had taken out of Prince An's food box had been eaten up by her.
Prince An smiled and said, "If Wu Yu had eaten as well as you do, I wouldn't have had to chase her around like that when I was a kid."
After hearing this, Lin Luoling couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Your Highness Prince An didn't have to pretend to have a cough at that time? And he could still run?"
Prince An laughed and said, "Did you figure it out? Shhh... This is my secret, you must not tell anyone else."
He took off the cloak and handed it to Lin Luoling. Lin Luoling touched it with her hand and then she understood why Prince An did not sweat but had lips that turned white due to the coldness of wearing such a thick cloak.
It's just because this cloak is made of double leather and ice cubes are stuffed inside, so my hands still feel cold when I touch it.
Lin Luoling asked speechlessly, "Won't you get sick from the cold if you wear it every day?"
Prince An sighed, "Between saving my life and catching a cold, I can only choose to save my life."
It seemed like an unintentional remark, but it made people feel sad. Prince An took a few bites of the vegetarian dishes on the table and asked:
"I heard that Miss Lin is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Wu Yu is playful by nature and is not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He has nothing to do now. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing to play a game of chess with me?"
Lin Luoling agreed without hesitation for some reason.
Not long after, Prince An came back with the chessboard and chess box. The chess pieces were placed on the chessboard. The two did not say a word. Lin Luoling occasionally raised her eyelids to look at Prince An.
Seeing Prince An's pupils shimmering with light and shadows was very beautiful, he glanced out the window from time to time, as if the sound of rain outside was too loud, disturbing the calmness between his brows.
When a game of chess was about to end, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Lan Wanyun's eyes widened in shock, and she pointed at Lin Luoling and said, "How dare you secretly have an affair with a pretty boy behind my Xianzhi's back..."
