Chapter 232 Who wouldn’t be tempted?
After Yin Su entered Fengyi Palace, he sat by Murong Hui's bed for half an hour before the confusion in his heart slowly subsided.
No matter what Wanwan is like now, she had paid a lot for him in the past and even died because of him.
Apart from the suffering the Queen endured when she gave birth to the Prince and Fei'er for him, she was always pampered and protected by him at other times. If the Queen knew how to be grateful, she should fall into a deep sleep forever and give her body to Wanwan, instead of causing Wanwan to fall into a deep sleep again and again!
Inwardly blaming the Queen for being ignorant, Yin Su's face was quite grim as he walked out of Fengyi Palace and met Yin Fei'er, who had just returned from outside. "Your mother is currently unconscious, and not only are you leaving her behind tonight to accompany Li Shu to the Lantern Festival, you're not even staying by her bedside during the day. This is truly outrageous!"
In the past, if he scolded her like this in public, Yin Feier would just hug his arm and act coquettishly to admit her mistake.
But now Yin Feier knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am about to marry far away, so I wanted to spend some time with Sister A-li during the Lantern Festival tonight. And Your Majesty also asked me to spend more time with Sister A-li before my wedding, didn't you? As for why I didn't stay by Mother's bedside just now, it was because the Empress Dowager sent someone to call me over to see if the amount she gave to Seventh Sister was appropriate."
"In that case, I have wronged you. Get up."
"Thank you, Father."
After Yin Feier finished speaking, she stood up and looked at the hand Yin Su extended to her, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Yin Su reacted only when he saw her stepping back, and he stretched out his hand out of habit.
Because since she was a child, after she made a mistake and knelt down, she would pull him aside and act coquettishly.
This made him feel troubled again.
He withdrew his hand, clenched it behind his back, and spoke in a slow tone, "A lot has happened in the palace recently, and your mother hasn't woken up yet. I'm a little worried, which is why I got angry because no one is guarding your mother's bedside. I asked someone to prepare clothes for you and Li Shu to wear at the Lantern Festival. You can take them out of the palace and give them to Li Shu."
"Yes, I will send you off respectfully."
After Yin Feier finished speaking, she stopped and watched Yin Su walk away before entering Fengyi Palace.
When the palace servants presented her with two identical sets of clothes, she thought for a moment and said, "Take them both out of the palace. Sister Ali and I will change into them together."
Near dusk, in the Wangshu Pavilion of Peacock Terrace.
Li Shu looked at the clothes held by the maids beside Yin Fei'er. She was about to ask Yin Fei'er to send them away so that Lin Yuan could check if there were any problems with the clothes. Kong Sanniang said to her, "Miss, this is not a suitable place to change clothes. I will take you and Princess Feiyun to a suitable place to change clothes."
"Well, thank you."
After Li Shu finished speaking, she pulled Yin Feier up and followed Kong Sanniang out of Wangshu Pavilion.
She spent most of the day in Wangshu Pavilion writing down what she saw and heard in her dreams.
Thanks to having read so many storybooks, she wrote very smoothly.
But it will take a lot of time to finish writing it.
And after it is written, it has to be refined by the people at Peacock Terrace, otherwise it cannot be used as a play script.
Kong Sanniang led them into a room in the Peacock Terrace which had a large bathing pool. She had the palace maids help her and Li Shu soak in the bathing pool, and then sent the maids away.
As soon as the door was closed, Kong Sanniang took out robes and put them on them, opened a secret door and led them to the next room.
There were already two people standing in the room, disguised as Li Shu and Yin Feier.
Yin Feier was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions.
Li Shu didn't ask any more questions, only said, "Be careful, safety comes first."
It was the first time for both of them to see Li Shu in person.
Everyone was excited when they heard this.
The young lady is indeed the best person in the world just as the boss said!
After that, Li Shu and Yin Feier changed into the clothes prepared for them by Kong Sanniang. After the two people dressed as them led the palace maids, Lin Yuan Jingzhe and others out of the Peacock Terrace, they were accompanied by several maids and went out through the back door.
Lin Yu was among those maids.
So much so that during the subsequent lantern festivals, Lin Yuan was clearly not there, yet he was everywhere.
"Miss, would you like some candied haws? I heard from the boss that you like sweet and sour things!"
"Miss, would you like some candy? The boss said you really like the cat he picked up, so we can ask the old man who sells candy figures to make you a candy figure in the shape of a cat!"
"Which lantern do you want to buy, young lady? Next time, you can ask the boss to make a lantern for you in advance. The lanterns made by our boss are so beautiful!"
"Miss, you're amazing! You guessed such a difficult riddle in no time! Next time you guess riddles, you can bring the boss with you and let him help you carry the prize. The boss is really strong!"
"Miss, let's go rent a flower boat from that place. The boss said the food on that flower boat is the best!"
"Miss, take a look at these dishes. Is there anything you don't like? I followed the boss's instructions..."
After getting on the flower boat, looking at Yin Fei'er who was covering her face and laughing secretly across from her, Li Shu finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Lin Yu, "I like them all. I want to have some private conversation with Fei'er. You guys go wait outside."
Lin Yu responded and retreated with his men.
Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, it's quiet!"
"Haha, it seems that the little secret guard next to Sister Ali is very popular among the people in their building. If you like him too, Sister Ali, you have to keep a close eye on him."
"..."
Li Shu glared at him angrily, "Now that you're getting married, you're getting so bold! You even dare to tease me!"
Yin Feier smiled with her eyebrows curved, and leaning on the table, she came close to Li Shu and asked, "Sister A Li, do you like that little secret guard? On this journey, every time the little maid mentioned the little secret guard, Sister A Li, you couldn't stop smiling! Recently, every time I think of Helian Feng, I have the same reaction! So I..."
Li Shu's face felt a little hot after hearing what she said. She couldn't help but pick up a piece of rose cake and stuffed it into her mouth. "You'll be marrying Fenglan soon. It will be very difficult for you to sit down and chat with me like this in the future. Are you sure you want to talk to me about Linyuan and nothing else?"
Yin Fei'er devoured the rose pastry in a few mouthfuls, disregarding her image. She then asked, "We can talk about other things later. Sister A-li, tell me first, are you attracted to that little secret guard?"
Li Shu frowned and turned to look at the brightly lit other side.
The night breeze blowing in her face relieved the heat on her face, but it disturbed her heart.
After a long while, she said, "There were a few moments when I was moved. With his looks, abilities, and the way he treated someone wholeheartedly and was so considerate and thoughtful, who wouldn't be moved? But I probably won't be able to love anyone the way I loved Ning Jin in my lifetime..."
"What's the big deal? Just let him love you! He's yours. He should be grateful that you accept him! He definitely won't force you to love him wholeheartedly!"
"..."
Li Shu frowned.
In fact, she never regarded Lin Yuan as a subordinate, but as someone sent by Kong Sanniang to help her.
Since Lin Yuan came to her side, he has been the lady's subordinate all day long.
So she felt that if she accepted Lin Yuan just because she was a little moved and was unable to treat Lin Yuan wholeheartedly, it would be unfair to Lin Yuan.
However, she seemed to be really inseparable from Lin Yuan...
As she was thinking, she heard Yin Feier say, "Sister Ali, you said you loved Ning Jin in the past, which means you have completely let go of Ning Jin now. So don't let that scum Ning Jin affect your future life. Besides, we still have a long future ahead of us, so there's no need to rush into anything. But there's one thing! Sister Ali, if you fall in love with that little secret guard in the future, or if you find someone else who's more suitable for you, you must write to me! Otherwise, I'll be angry! You should know how clingy I can be when I'm angry!"
Yin Feier was still leaning on the table, putting her face in front of Li Shu.
The serious look on his face, coupled with the pretended anger, made Li Shu laugh out loud.
At this time, they didn't notice that there was a person standing behind the screen.
