"I'm waiting for you."

Lin Aoxue was rarely frank. I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold, and there was a faint layer of red cloud on the left cheek exposed outside the mask. Her slightly drooping eyes were filled with a faint layer of water vapor. The moment Yun Yan looked at the past, his heart trembled.

The lanterns at the door of the shops on both sides of the street were not very bright. Lin Aoxue stood for a long time at night, her ears were frozen red, and it was icy cold.

The playful teasing in Yunyan's eyes slowly faded away, she exhaled hot air, and said a little apologetically:

"Did you wait a long time?"

Lin Aoxue shook his head:

"No, I've only been here for a while."

Yun Yan stared into her eyes and did not speak. Lin Aoxue had no choice but to turn her head away and avoid her gaze. The expression on her face was still tense, but she changed her tone weakly:

"Um...a little longer than a while."

Yun Yan smiled, did not force her any more, only said:

"Put out your hand."

Lin Aoxue was puzzled and blinked, but did not move.

"Put out your injured hand just now."

Yunyan was very patient, she felt that Lin Aoxue was a stubborn baby.

Lin Aoxue made a "uh" in her mouth, her eyes wandering.

Seeing Lin Aoxue pretending not to understand, Yunyan simply took a step forward, almost sticking to Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, the hand behind her back also loosened, Yunyan grabbed her right wrist, Then pull to the front.

"You! You really...how should I say hello!"

Yunyan was a little angry, she knew it would be like this.

The gauze in Lin Aoxue's palm was soaked with blood. When she was nervous, she would subconsciously squeeze her fists, or twist her hands together.

"Not a big problem..."

Lin Aoxue still wanted to quibble.

"you shut up."

Yunyan glanced at her, and Lin Aoxue stopped talking.

Yunyan quickly removed the gauze on Lin Aoxue's hand, and under Lin Aoxue's surprised eyes, she took out the wound medicine and new gauze from the pocket of her cuff, and re-bandaged the wound on her hand.

Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised. After the wound was re-wrapped, she turned over and over twice with her right hand, and felt incredible:

"Why do you still carry these things with you?"

Yun Yan was wearing a very beautiful red dress and makeup today, and she didn't look like she would go out to practice medicine. Yunyan put away the blood-stained gauze that Lin Aoxue had replaced, and then gave her a blank look:

"You're too embarrassed to say it, I went to return the piano, and when I came out, I heard that you were gone. When you talked to the county master earlier, your hand was deformed, and you didn't notice the blood, so I went to get it again. Yao, since you came to the capital, maybe you also know about Yanyulou, I guess you will come here to look for me, so come and see, I really saw you."

Yunyan's words undoubtedly confirmed Lin Aoxue's conjecture. There must be some unknown connection between the Yanyu Building in the capital and the Yanyu Building in the north.

Lin Aoxue's face was embarrassed. She didn't expect Yunyan to notice even such a small thing, and she didn't even notice that when she was talking to Bei Chenling, did she make such obvious small gestures?

Thinking of this, she frowned, if it was so obvious, would it make Beichenhe or Beichenling suspicious?

Lin Aoxue's mood suddenly became heavy, but she heard Yun Yan again:

"The lord and the county master are distinguished. It's normal for you to be nervous when you first entered the palace, but you can't toss yourself like this next time, do you hear me?"

Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Yunyan was really considerate, even if only she understood that what she was worried about and what Yunyan said were not the same thing. In the eyes of others, she is a small thousand households. Facing the prince and the princess, it is only a problem if she is not nervous.

"I heard."

She answered politely.

Yun Yan was a little relieved, but it was difficult for her to completely trust Lin Aoxue. She grabbed Lin Aoxue's sleeve, pulled her away from the street corner, and said at the same time:

"Let's get out of here first."

Although there weren't many people on the street, but in the end, Yun Yan's identity was special, and it was easy to cause trouble for Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue followed behind Yunyan, turning one street after another, and didn't know where Yunyan was going to take her. If she wanted to come, Yunyan wouldn't hurt her.

The two were walking on the street one after the other. It was getting late, and the shops on the roadside closed one after another. Their business people also had to go home for the New Year.

Lin Aoxue walked behind Yun Yan for about half an hour, came to a relatively remote street, walked more than a hundred paces, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous small house in the middle of the street.

Yunyan opened the door and led Lin Aoxue in. The small courtyard was clean and tidy, with a small area, but the decoration was extremely delicate, and there were many precious things inside.

Lin Aoxue glanced briefly and asked:

"You are in the capital, do you live here?"

Yunyan didn't hide it either, nodded and replied:

"Well, this little house is my own."

Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said with a smile:

"It's my first time bringing people to this place."

Lin Aoxue blushed and suddenly felt a little helpless, but she was secretly happy again. Seeing her like this, Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said:

"You sit down for a while."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and lifted the curtain behind the house, went to the backyard, and left Lin Aoxue in the house. Lin Aoxue was nervous, but she couldn't sit still. She stood up, looked left, and looked again. The vase placed on the short table was finely broken, and the patterns on it were also very detailed and beautiful. At a glance, you could see that it was very valuable.

Lin Aoxue was amazed, and she also felt a little self-pity, she couldn't see it on weekdays, Yun Yan was really rich, and she was richer than her stupid soldier. How many months of silver she had to save to buy such a bottle!

Yun Yan went out for a while, Lin Aoxue walked around the house twice, and had nothing to do, then returned to the front yard and sat on the stone steps in front of the house. The cold wind was blowing on her body, but she didn't feel cold, and her heart seemed to be filled with a warm air, much more at ease than in the past ten years.

She sat in front of the steps for a while, and Yun Yan exclaimed from behind:

"Why are you sitting here?"

Lin Aoxue stood up, she pointed to the stone steps in front of the door, and said:

"I remember the last time I was in Yongan. That was the first time I talked to you."

Yunyan burst into laughter, her eyes rolled, and she looked at her:

"You remember so clearly."

Lin Aoxue also had a two-pointed smile on her face, how could she not remember clearly, Yunyan already knew her identity at that time, but she was still nervous and worried, worried that her identity would be discovered.

In a flash, more than half a year has passed, and before they know it, they are already so familiar.

Even though they still keep their own secrets, it doesn't affect them from admiring each other and getting closer to each other.

Like this, it's good to be friends and sisters with her. Lin Aoxue thought to herself, but for some unknown reason, there was always something indescribable, a very light and very light sourness that quietly spread in her heart.

Maybe it's because she has too many secrets, and the hatred she bears is too deep, so she can't be honest with Yunyan, so she's sad.

"Come in, it's windy outside."

Seeing Lin Aoxue, she stood there, suddenly fascinated, Yunyan stepped forward, pulled Lin Aoxue's sleeve, and led her into the house.

There were two bowls on the table, still steaming hot.

Lin Aoxue let out a turbid breath, suppressing the sour feeling in her heart, and walked towards the table in two steps. She glanced at the bowl, and was attracted by the contents of the bowl, and said in surprise:

"dumpling?"

She was so surprised, she didn't expect that Yunyan had just made dumplings. She hadn't eaten dumplings during the New Year's Eve for many years, and when she saw dumplings suddenly, it was a little strange.

"Well, try it?"

Yunyan handed the chopsticks to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue took the chopsticks and sat down at the table. She picked up a hot dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth without blowing it.

"There aren't many ingredients in the house, so I managed to make it like this. What's wrong with you?"

Yun Yan was halfway through speaking, then suddenly paused and asked in surprise.

But after seeing Lin Aoxue eating the dumplings into her mouth, her eyes quickly turned red, and crystal tears fell down the corners of her eyes and fell into the soup bowl. She lowered her head abruptly and covered her face, not wanting to let others see the tsunami and landslide-like fragility of this moment.

"hot."

She only said one word.

The tears in Lin Aoxue's eyes were pressed into Yun Yan's heart like a branding iron, burning the flesh and blood in her heart to the point of screeching.

She stood up, took Lin Aoxue into her arms, and gently stroked her head, soothing Lin Aoxue's emotions, her tone pretending to be relaxed:

"You don't blow it, why don't you spit it out when it's hot?"

There were tears in her eyes.

Lin Aoxue didn't answer, her throat choked and she couldn't make a sound. The emotion and pain were too intense, without warning, and unable to resist.

After a while, she took a deep breath, tried to adjust her emotions, rubbed her face in Yun Yan's arms, and then raised her head again, her eyes were watery, like an abandoned puppy. , wagging his tail and saying to Yunyan:

"tasty."

Seeing her like this, Yunyan's worry that had just filled her heart was instantly blown away by a gust of wind. She couldn't help it, she burst out laughing, she shook her head while laughing, rubbed Lin Aoxue's cheek, and said:

"No matter how delicious it is, you don't need to fight so hard, fool."

Lin Aoxue also smiled, even though there were still tears in her eyes, she remembered that she was in the military camp, Yunyan had not left, and she was banned by Beichenlong. During that time, every day's meals must have come from Yunyan's hands.

Now that several months have passed, Yunyan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and the stuffing in this dumpling is still as much as ever.

She packed up her mood, and found that she seemed to be too complacent, and twisted again, let go of Yunyan and picked up the chopsticks again, pretending that nothing had happened, and said:

"Really delicious."

Then he buried himself in the dumplings and didn't say a word.

Yun Yan knew that she was being shy, and because she cried a lot just now, she felt awkward and didn't tease her, so she propped her chin up and smiled and watched Lin Aoxue gobble up the wind.

Lin Aoxue had eaten most of the dumplings in her bowl, and her nervousness subsided a little. She raised her eyes and saw that the bowl of Yunyan was motionless, and said suspiciously:

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Yunyan smiled:

"It's eaten."

As she said, she picked up a dumpling and took a bite.

Lin Aoxue ate the rest of the dumplings at once. As soon as the last dumpling was entered, she heard a click. Her expression changed, and she pursed her lips strangely. After a while, she spat out a copper coin from her mouth.

"Ah……"

She sighed, her eyes seemed to be filled with a handful of soft moonlight.

The sound of fireworks suddenly sounded outside the window. Lin Aoxue and Yunyan turned their heads and looked out at the same time. In the dark night sky, dazzling fireworks exploded, illuminating the entire capital as if it were daytime.

"Aoxue, it's New Year's Eve."

Yunyan said softly.

She has also not spent New Year's Eve with anyone for many years. Even in Yanyulou in the north, on such a special day, she was reluctant to share it with others. She selfishly thought that only the closest people could rely on each other at such a time.

Lin Aoxue turned her head to look at Yun Yan's profile, the colorful fireworks reflected on her face, reflecting her already soft and delicate facial features even more vividly. An inexplicable urge surged in her heart, stronger than ever before.

"Yeah, Yan'er, it's New Year's Eve."

Lin Aoxue murmured, then she stood up, and when Yunyan turned to look at her, she smiled and said:

"Let's go out and watch the fireworks."

Yunyan put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand:

"OK."

She actually had dinner today, but it was only because she saw that Lin Aoxue was only drinking in the palace, and was injured later, so she hadn't eaten much, that she thought of filling her stomach with the next two dumplings.

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan came to the yard together. They sat side by side in front of the house, looking up at the splendid firelight that lit up in the sky from time to time, covering all the brilliance of the stars, colorful and beautiful.

In this place, it can be seen more clearly than in the house.

"Aoxue, why did you come to the capital?"

Until now, Yunyan still felt as if she was in a dream. When Lin Aoxue appeared in the palace, she really thought that she had lost her eyes and had mistaken someone.

If it wasn't that the half mask on Lin Aoxue's face was too clear, her cold face and indifferent voice were so familiar, Yun Yan finally determined that the person who stood up to save Bei Chenhe was Lin Aoxue.

She was really curious as to why Lin Aoxue came to the capital, and why she appeared in the prince's palace.

Lin Aoxue did not hide it, and passed the emperor's imperial edict to go to the north, and she wanted a high-ranking officer to come to the capital to report on his duties, and she was selected by Bei Chenlong to accompany her, so she briefly explained the matter of coming to Beijing with General Guo.

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Yunyan again, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"You must be curious, what happened to the Yanyu Tower in the capital."

Without waiting for Lin Aoxue to ask, Yunyan took the initiative to speak. Lin Aoxue nodded and admitted that she was indeed feeling strange and puzzled.

Although Yunyan had a smile on her face, there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes, she said:

"Everyone has a last resort, like, you have to join the army to avenge your family, and I have to stay in the Yanyu Building, because we all have things that we must do our best."

Either passive or active, quagmire or muddy water, as long as it is contaminated, you cannot escape. People are different from each other, and her background limits the future of many people, and she is one of them.

She wanted to exchange her own efforts for more freedom, she wanted to try her best to get closer without dragging Lin Aoxue down. These were secretly buried in her heart.

If one day, Lin Aoxue discovers the secret she is hiding, discovers the other side of her ugliness, and chooses to take the initiative to leave, she will not feel sorry for herself. Lin Aoxue was carefree.

Hearing what Yunyan said, Lin Aoxue stopped asking more questions. She looked at Yunyan seriously and whispered:

"No matter what, as long as you speak to me, I will definitely help you."

Yunyan smiled and replied softly:

"Okay."

At the end, she said again:

"I want to borrow your shoulder."

Lin Aoxue had no reason to refuse, so Yun Yan leaned her head on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, she narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression tired, I wonder if the breath on Lin Aoxue's body was reassuring, and after a while, she actually fell asleep.

The sound of the fireworks gradually faded away, Lin Aoxue did not hear Yun Yan speak for a long time, only the soft and gentle breathing sounded in her ears. She turned her head and saw that Yunyan had fallen asleep, and her nervousness gradually relaxed, letting Yunyan lean on her like this.

Until the night dew was heavier, she felt that Yunyan would catch cold when sleeping like this, so she hugged Yunyan horizontally, trying not to wake her up, walked back to the house slowly, placed Yunyan on the bed, and covered her up. After removing the quilt, he exited.

As soon as Lin Aoxue left, Yunyan woke up. She saw Lin Aoxue carefully closing the door. In the darkness, she stared at the slowly closing door with a faint moonlight, her eyes soft and soft.

After exiting from the back room, Lin Aoxue left Yunyan's house. Although they knew in their hearts that the two had nothing to do with each other, Lin Aoxue appeared as a man outside. When she wanted to come, she always had to take care of Yunyan's reputation.

When she returned to the inn, it was already deep into the night. She fell asleep for a while, and woke up when the sky was twilight. Today is the first day of the new year. It must be very lively in the streets during the day. Lin Aoxue got up early and went to I bought two cages of steamed buns on the street and went to Yunyan's small house.

Yunyan also got up very early, last night she didn't really rest much. After Lin Aoxue left, she felt that the night was too cold, and she was always a little scared by herself, so she didn't fall asleep again.

As soon as Lin Aoxue came, he was still carrying two paper bags with hot buns in his hand, and motioned Yunyan to have a meal together, otherwise the buns would get cold later. Yun Yan laughed, as if seeing Lin Aoxue, the shadow in her heart would dissipate with the wind.

This person is like sunlight, even if there is only a small gap, it will project light and warmth into it.

After breakfast, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan went out together. They planned to go shopping in the market together. Today, Yunyan was wearing an ordinary dress, and Lin Aoxue was not wearing a military uniform. The two of them mixed into the crowd, and they were not so conspicuous.

Lin Aoxue didn't have any plans, she just waited for the third prince after the end of the festival, when the third prince decided to leave, she would accompany Guo Wencheng. As for Yunyan, it doesn't matter much these few days. Yanyulou does not rest during Chinese New Year, but Yunyan's status is special, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go for a few days.

The market was indeed lively, with people coming and going. They went to the lower-class west market. There were many stalls and hawkers here. Different from the main street of the capital, the atmosphere of the festival was stronger.

Passing by a small stall, Yunyan saw that the knots woven on the stall were very beautiful, so she bought two and asked Lin Aoxue to raise her arm and tie one of the brown knots with a bluestone on it. On Lin Aoxue's wrist.

Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan lowered her head to tie her hand-rope for herself. Pedestrians passing by would occasionally look at her, making her face subconsciously, but the tips of her ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yunyan looked up to see her like this, and laughed at her:

"You always keep your face like this, and others think that there is something unhappy between us."

Lin Aoxue pursed her lips and did not answer. Yunyan shook her head, and did not continue to focus on this topic. She put down Lin Aoxue's arm and wanted to continue to walk forward, but Lin Aoxue suddenly said:

"Give me your rope."

Yun Yan froze for a moment, looking at her suspiciously.

"I'll tie it for you."

Lin Aoxue looked away, but said so.

Yun Yan laughed happily, and obediently handed the light blue hand rope to Lin Aoxue, and then slightly lifted her cuffs, revealing a white wrist.

Lin Aoxue swallowed her saliva, her heart beating suddenly like a drum.

She gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressed her nervousness, focused on the hand rope, and carefully and meticulously tied it for Yun Yan. Yun Yan's complexion was very white, and the light blue knotted ropes decorated her wrists, making her skin even brighter.

"It's beautiful."

Lin Aoxue gave a sincere admiration. Yunyan Yingying smiled, gently raised Yang Lin Aoxue's arm, and said softly:

"You're so pretty, too."

Lin Aoxue felt that her face was about to burn. She didn't dare to look directly into Yun Yan's eyes, for fear that the emotions hidden in her heart would run out of her eyes by herself.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she swept to a small stall, and saw a lot of confetti and window grilles on the stall, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over with Yunyan, and in Yunyan's puzzled eyes, she bought a large stack of confetti.

"Why did you buy this?"

Yunyan asked her.

Lin Aoxue's lips curled into a slight smile, and she weighed the colored paper in her hand, and said:

"Go back and cut some window grilles and stick them on your windows."

Yun Yan didn't expect Lin Aoxue to think so much. The place where she lived was very deserted, because she was the only one, and there were no servants or maids next to her. She never thought about preparing these things for the New Year alone. Lin Aoxue went there once and unexpectedly so concerned.

Yunyan felt both moved and very novel, she didn't know that Lin Aoxue knew these skills, so she said:

"You can cut window grilles? Why don't you teach me!"

Lin Aoxue smiled happily. Her father would make a lot of gadgets. She learned a lot when she was young. When Yunyan said she wanted to learn, Lin Aoxue naturally wouldn't hide her secrets, so she agreed.

They continued to walk forward, and stopped next to a clay figurine peddler. Lin Aoxue wanted to give Yunyan a clay figurine, but Yunyan asked the peddler to squeeze it as Lin Aoxue did, and the little clay figurine squeezed out later had half a face on its face. The mask, in its vivid appearance, amused Yunyan with joy.

The clay figurine was ready, Lin Aoxue paid the money, and Yunyan held the little clay figurine in her hands with a smile.

But they didn't take two steps when suddenly a voice came from not far away, calling Lin Aoxue:

"Lin Qianhu, please stay."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Aoxue frowned, and Yun Yan also blinked unexpectedly.

They turned around and saw that the person standing not far away was actually Bei Chenling. Lin Aoxue never thought that he would meet Beichen Ling in the West City. Beichen Ling is the county master of the Prince's Mansion. With such a noble status, why would he come to such a place?

Bei Chenling didn't wear a palace skirt, so she changed into simpler clothes, and there were no guards behind her, so she didn't want to reveal her identity.

"Lin Aoxue has seen His Royal Highness the County Master, what is the matter with His Highness Xun?"

Lin Aoxue's voice was so low that only Yunyan and Bei Chenling could hear it. Yun Yan also bowed and whispered to Bei Chen Ling.

Bei Chenling glanced at Yunyan behind Lin Aoxue, she thought she had read it wrong before, but she did not expect that the woman with Lin Aoxue was really Yunyan.

But who Lin Aoxue was with, and why Yunyan was by Lin Aoxue's side, these things were not something she had to figure out. The reason why she suddenly stopped Lin Aoxue was to ask for something.

"I wonder if Lin Qianhu has time now? This county master has something to ask for."

Bei Chenling was straight to the point and didn't make any detours.

When Lin Aoxue heard this, her brows became even tighter. She didn't know what Bei Chenling wanted her to help, but considering that she was not alone today, she wanted to refuse directly.

But before she could say anything, she suddenly felt that Yunyan gently tugged at her sleeve, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to ask again:

"What's the matter with Your Royal Highness?"

Bei Chenling glanced at Yunyan again, just now Yunyan's small gesture of pulling Lin Aoxue's sleeves completely fell into her eyes, Lin Aoxue's refusal was already very obvious, but she changed her words under Yunyan's gesture.

She sneered in her heart, this woman really can deceive people, she is very good at pleasing men. Yesterday Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan in the prince's mansion and spoke for Yunyan, and today she is more obedient to her.

While Bei Chenling despised Yunyan, she also looked down on Lin Aoxue by two points. The sympathy she felt for hearing about Lin Aoxue yesterday gradually faded away. However, Lin Aoxue's martial arts are strong, and today's matter requires her help to be successful. After weighing it, she still said:

"To be honest with Lin Qianhu, there is a ring in front of West Street. It is said that if you win the first place, you can get a set of paintings and calligraphy. This painting and calligraphy is of great significance to this county lord, but the county lord came out today without an attendant. I would like to invite Lin Qian. households to help.”

She wants that set of calligraphy and painting, but the people in the ring are very powerful, and she herself does not know martial arts. The most important thing is that if her father Beichen He knew about this, he would definitely not allow it. Therefore, she did not dare to return to the palace. Going to find someone, when she saw Lin Aoxue by chance, she thought of asking Lin Aoxue to help her. If Lin Aoxue was willing to take action, that set of calligraphy and painting would definitely be available.

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Yunyan, Yunyan looked at her, motioning her not to disobey Bei Chenling, Lin Aoxue sighed helplessly, and said:

"Also ask Your Highness to lead the way."

Bei Chenling was overjoyed, having received Lin Aoxue's promise to help, she didn't have time to worry about the unknown relationship between Yunyan and Lin Aoxue, and hurriedly took Lin Aoxue and the two to the street arena.

The person on the stage has good martial arts and has defeated more than ten challengers in a row. This arena competition is coming to an end. According to the regulations, if he can win 15 games in a row, he will be counted as the first person. The man on the stage has already won thirteen games. He is the leader of the arena.

Lin Aoxue jumped onto the ring at Bei Chenling's gesture, and the people on the stage looked surprised. It was because Lin Aoxue looked too thin, which made him subconsciously feel that Lin Aoxue was weak. But he also knew that it was taboo to judge people by appearance, so he didn't dare to underestimate Lin Aoxue.

After facing Lin Aoxue and giving the duel salute, the two took a few steps away from each other. They faced each other for only a few breaths. At the end, they didn't know who made the move first. One moved, and the other followed, and they quickly became hands-on.

This son's martial arts is really good, and he can actually be on an equal footing with Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue was also aroused when she met her opponent, but she injured her hand yesterday, so it was inevitable that she would be restrained. move.

Therefore, Lin Aoxue used his uninjured left hand to fight against this man with one hand, but the man felt that Lin Aoxue was underestimating others, and his offensive became more and more fierce in anger, while Lin Aoxue was on the defensive. He frowned, a little worried.

Bei Chenling was a little flustered in her heart, could it be that Lin Aoxue couldn't win this arena? She heard from her father that Lin Aoxue was very brave when he was at the border, and the barbarians were afraid of the wind, and she herself had seen Lin Aoxue make a move, she was right She had great expectations, but she never thought it would be like this.

After a while, she realized that Lin Aoxue had always been making moves with one hand, and she remembered with hindsight that Lin Aoxue was injured in the palace to save Bei Chenhe yesterday. It was a bit reluctant to play injured, and it was difficult for her to be strong.

Bei Chenling sighed silently. If she didn't have the chance to get that set of paintings and calligraphy today, she would have to look for an opportunity later to see if she could negotiate with this person and make him transfer it. She was bound to get it.

Just when Bei Chenling's heart was fluctuating and his thoughts were chaotic, the battle situation on the stage changed again. The man attacked many times, but Lin Aoxue calmly saw the move. He gradually realized that Lin Aoxue had a deep foundation, and even Lin Aoxue single-handedly attacked him. Can't break defense.

After more than 100 moves, he still failed to break through Lin Aoxue's defense. Instead, Lin Aoxue made two changes in the middle, almost knocking him off the ring.

When Lin Aoxue changed his move for the third time, the man saw that this move was aggressive, and the timing was so good that he could not retreat at all, so he suddenly jumped out of the ring to avoid being injured by this palm.

"Hahaha! Your Excellency is strong in martial arts, and you are willing to bow down!"

He laughed loudly and quickly retreated without a trace.

Lin Aoxue was amused by this person's cheerful disposition, she also raised her palms and clasped her fists, and said loudly:

"Your Excellency is humble and accepted!"

As soon as this person retired, another person took the stage to challenge. Apart from the previous person, Lin Aoxue had never met anyone who could compete with him. Even with only one hand, she easily won fifteen games. .

Lin Aoxue won the arena, and the host was quite happy. Yiyan handed the set of calligraphy and painting as a prize to Lin Aoxue. But when this thing unfolded in front of Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly.

She found that this set of calligraphy and painting was her father's early brushwork, and was later donated by her father to others. After her family fell, those things that were sent out by the generals of the town naturally lost their value. Many In order to clear the relationship with her father, the old friend sold all those things at a very low price.

She just didn't expect that after many years, she would be able to see such a well-preserved set of paintings and calligraphy again.

There was a lot of people in the audience, and Lin Aoxue quickly came back to her senses. She immediately suppressed the look of shock on her face, took it with a trembling hand, then thanked the host, and walked off the arena amid the cheers of the audience. .

Bei Chenling looked very happy when she got the calligraphy and painting. She thanked Lin Aoxue again, took off the valuable jade pendant around her waist, and handed it to Lin Aoxue without hesitation, wanting to thank Lin Aoxue for what she did today. A complex color flashed across Lin Aoxue's eyes, and was immediately overwhelmed by pain and hatred.

That unpredictable gaze soon returned to silence and indifference, she glanced at the jade pendant in Bei Chenling's hand, and shook her head coldly:

"It's hard work, you shouldn't be like this, Your Highness."

She couldn't understand why Bei Chenling was like this, who had secretly murdered her father together with her father, and now she still uses these little tricks to show this superficial skill to who?

She was afraid that she would not be able to restrain her inner anger if she treated Bei Chenling's innocent face again, so she didn't stay for long, saying that she still had something important to do, and asked His Highness to enjoy it by herself, then she turned around and walked away neatly. .

Yun Yan was greatly surprised. Although Lin Aoxue treated people coldly in the past, he would never show his face to others, not to mention that the other party was a noble county master.

She blinked, helpless, bowed to Beichen Lingfu, then quickly followed Lin Aoxue.

The jade pendant handed out by Bei Chenling was still hanging in the air. She looked at Lin Aoxue and Yunyan's backs in a daze, but she didn't know how to react for a while. After a while, she put away the jade pendant and left the West Market with a complicated expression on the calligraphy and painting.

Yun Yan followed behind Lin Aoxue, her face was rather strange, she sighed that Lin Aoxue was really bold, and even the princess of the prince's mansion dared to slap her face.

She couldn't guess why Lin Aoxue was angry, she just thought, maybe it was because Lin Aoxue didn't want to help Bei Chenling in the ring, so she kept holding back her dissatisfaction, and finally broke out suddenly.

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty. Lin Aoxue was reluctant to help, but because she persuaded her earlier, Lin Aoxue reluctantly agreed. She took two quick steps and called out:

"Aoxue?"

Lin Aoxue stopped in her footsteps, and when she turned back to see Yunyan looking at her worriedly, she understood that she had lost her temper earlier. She pursed her lips, her face was still a little dazed, Yunyan turned her head to look at her, and said:

"If you don't want to be flattered, you can refuse these things in the future."

It's just that people who are too upright are always easy to suffer.

But Lin Aoxue is different from her in nature. Lin Aoxue's temperament has always been like this. It's fine if it's someone else, but she doesn't want to see Lin Aoxue change herself because of the world. Anyway, Lin Aoxue will go back to the North in the future. It suits Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue sighed softly, her face showing some sadness, and turned to look at Yunyan:

"Yan'er, what will happen if I offend the clan prince?"

Yun Yan did not suspect him, but only thought that Lin Aoxue really did not understand, and explained to Lin Aoxue:

"In the capital, no one dares to offend him. If you don't seek fame and fortune, you just keep your peace and don't want to go further, then what happened today is irrelevant."

Yun Yan really thought about Lin Aoxue, so her analysis on this matter was very objective. If Lin Aoxue was angered because of this, she would have nothing to do. Others might not tell Lin Aoxue some things, but Lin Aoxue should know.

"The prince has great power. If you can get the help of the prince, then you can develop more smoothly even in the north. You only know that the prince has no military power, but you don't understand that many things can't be just Look at the appearance."

Yun Yan said all of this, she has said enough today, and if she goes further, it will definitely go beyond the norm, but it will see if Lin Aoxue is willing to listen. Therefore, Yunyan didn't tell Lin Aoxue about the details. Finally, she stared into Lin Aoxue's eyes and said in a warm voice:

"If you trust me, listen to me."

Lin Aoxue fell silent, she guessed that the forces behind Yunyan must also be on the side of the prince, otherwise she would not have said something like "many things can't just look at appearances" about the fact that the prince seems to have no military power.

In the capital, under the foot of the emperor, there are also undercurrents surging. Many giants are fighting for power, but everyone who has something to do with it has to stand in line. No one can stay out of it, not even Yunyan. The prince, or maybe he doesn't want to help anyone.

Although Lin Aoxue hadn't returned to the capital for ten years, she was not at all clear about the situation in the capital.

The emperor is in his prime, but several of his sons have already begun to fight for power. Beichenlong and Beichenhe are both relatives of the emperor. Beichenhe has no military power in his hands, and he has only one daughter, Beichenling. For the emperor, his threat is far less than Bei Chenlong, who holds a heavy army.

If it weren't for the fierceness and bravery of the barbarians in the border, there were not many experts in Beijing, and Beichenlong would not have been in charge of the military alone, forming a situation of dominance in the northern border. This time, the emperor sent the third prince on the grounds of the heavy losses at the border.

Lin Aoxue's heart is like a mirror to these undercurrents hidden under peace, but she doesn't plan to go into this muddy water for the time being. There are many princes who want to win over Bei Chenlong. Whether the third prince can successfully leave Beijing and reach the north is still a question. Unknown number.

Lin Aoxue nodded and responded to Yunyan's words. Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Aoxue was willing to listen to her advice, it would be better.

As for today's matter, let's put it down first, Bei Chenling asked Lin Aoxue first, and it wouldn't have a serious impact.

After Lin Aoxue and Yunyan returned from the market, they threw the bought colored paper on the table. Yunyan found the scissors and saw that Lin Aoxue had skillfully folded the colored paper a few times, and drew some strange patterns, waiting for her to use it. When the scissors were cut and unfolded again, there were already small flowers of different shapes, but very beautiful.

Yun Yan was very surprised. She had only seen people downstairs make these things before, but she had never done it herself.

She leaned on Lin Aoxue to teach her, and Lin Aoxue laughed too, and taught Yunyan how to do it. A morning passed quickly, and the two of them worked together to make a lot of window grilles. Yunyan was very happy. These window grilles were pasted on the windows, and the deserted house suddenly became more angry.
