A warm breath lightly hit her face, and then his cold voice fell right into her ear.
Lin Xuecha's gaze was extremely cold, not much better.
"It's probably because we've had a marriage together. On the day of your death, I'll give you an extra incense stick."
"There is no need for Your Highness to worry about this matter."
Lin Xuecha replied softly, her lips curving in an exceptionally mocking manner.
"After all, at the end of my life, who was the one who offered the incense to the snow tea and the prince? I'm not sure, but the prince thinks that it's reasonable, right?"
The corner of Fifth Prince Su An's mouth stiffened.
Lin Xuecha took a few steps back and bowed to him.
"Your highness has nothing to do, but Snow Tea still has a lot of homework to do, so I won't talk to you for long. Snow Tea will take her leave."
She stood up and turned around. Without even glancing at the man behind her, she walked towards the entrance of the palace with light steps.
As for the man behind her, he just stood there with his hands behind his back.
He stood still as a shadow of Lin Xuecha, and was walking away.
The lips that were stiff a moment ago suddenly curled up, forming a pleasant curve.
Lin Xuecha returned to the Ninth Prince Manor in the carriage.
She actually wanted to find an excuse to return to the Marquis Anping Residence.
However, after some thought, he found that there was no reason for him to go back.
Marquis Anping's Wife, she didn't want to see.
Lin Xueyu was someone she couldn't meet even if she wanted to.
As for Ting Zhu's child, it would be better if she did not see him.
When Ting Zhu saw her after the calamity, he was definitely in a very bad mood.
She might even cry for the rest of the day, looking miserable, afraid that something might happen to her.
What Lin Xuecha could not endure the most were Ting Zhu's tears.
It would drop for half a day at a time. It wouldn't stop even if it was beaten to death.
However, the thing that moved her the most was her tears.
In this world, other than Ting Zhu, there was probably no one else who was willing to shed tears for her.
After returning to the Ninth Prince Palace, the first person Lin Xuecha went to look for was Su Nanxing.
Su Nanxing's feet had not completely recovered, and he was still lying in the bedroom.
Even after he had returned, the old emperor had sent the imperial physician over to show him.
However, he had been injured for a hundred days.
Even if he changed out some medicine with better effects, it would only reduce the amount of time it took to heal the wound in his leg and heal it as soon as possible.
But he couldn't. He was cured in an instant.
Lin Xuecha had just knocked on his door, when someone behind her asked.
Princess Yuexi, His Highness is not in his room.
Lin Xuecha looked back.
A young man dressed in the uniform of a eunuch bowed to her and then greeted her.
"His Highness should be in the study room or the Lotus Pond right now. Why not, Princess Yuexi, look for him."
Lin Xuecha knew this person.
He was a frequent eunuch by the butler's side. Others called him, Little De.
Lin Xuecha nodded at him.
After all, before she entered the palace, Su Nanxing had told her to find him when she returned.
"Isn't His Highness' foot injured? Did he go out alone?"
"Reporting to the princess, her highness had fallen once when she was young, and it was also because her feet were injured. At that time, it was Miss Lian who begged the imperial concubine to make a chair for her highness.
Now that His Highness' leg was injured, the Miss Lian was naturally anxious and impatient, he hurriedly rushed back from the palace. Although his temper was mild, he did not like to stay too long in bed.
Miss Lian then called for the butler to take out the pushing chair. She pushed her highness and went out to take a look. "
Lin Xuecha was slightly startled, "Elder Sister Lian, did you come to the Palace?"
"That's right, didn't the princess want to go find her highness? We can also meet with the Miss Lian."
Lin Xuecha blinked his eyes lightly.
After a moment of silence, she waved her hand and said to the eunuch, "I understand. You may leave now."
The young eunuch blessed her body before turning around and leaving.
Study Room...
Lotus Pond.
Lin Xuecha recited these two places in his mouth.
Since Baili Lianer was by his side, then even if she went, she would have nothing to do.
Baili Lianer was Su Nanxing's childhood sweetheart. There must be many memories between them.
And Baili Lianer, I presume that was also aware of many of Su Nanxing's taboos and preferences.
At least, more than she knew.
She might as well not get close to him …
It was not good to disturb his reminiscence.
It shouldn't be a problem whether he handed it over or not.
Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes, and the corner of his lips unconsciously curled up.
She slowly turned around and walked towards the tea shop.
Pushing open the teahouse door, Lin Xuecha walked over to the small table with the tea tray and sat down.
She glanced at the books on the table.
He casually flipped through it.
They were all books that she had read before, as well as books that she had never read before.
The color in Lin Xuecha's eyes changed slightly.
Thinking that it might be Su Nanxing, she forgot to put it away.
The servants of the mansion were also only cleaning the dust, and did not put away these books.
That's just right.
She said there was nothing to do.
This time, he would be able to carry the tea ceremony and the palace rules behind his back.
Her heart, for some reason, was abnormally calm this time.
It was like a calm, a silence undisturbed by the outside world.
However, it was more like the serenity after the ups and downs.
She didn't know why she had used the words' ups and downs'.
Probably, no one would know.
The books on the Way of Tea were unusually dull.
Lin Xuecha looked at it for a while and started to feel drowsy.
This morning, after a whole morning's journey, she had only eaten a few mouthfuls of rice when someone from the palace arrived and told her to enter the palace.
She had to change her clothes quickly and enter the palace.
Now, after a whole day of watching, she had almost never rested.
Holding the book in his hand, what he saw was not a book, but Mr Zhou.
Lin Xuecha supported his chin with one hand, while dozing off, he did not say a word or two, and recited the knowledge of the Way of Tea.
Afterwards, he was extremely sleepy.
She simply laid down on the table and fell asleep.
She slept until someone came to turn on the light.
Lin Xuecha's eyeballs moved, and slowly opened up.
There were footsteps inside the house. Lin Xuecha raised his head and saw the butler walking slowly towards her.
In his hand, he was even holding a pink robe.
The steward immediately paused when she moved.
Following that, he quickly walked towards Lin Xuecha with a slightly apologetic look on his face.
"Could it be that this old servant's movements were too big, causing me to wake up the princess?"
Maybe because he slept too much, Lin Xuecha's head was dizzy.
She blinked, trying to clear her head.
Hearing the butler say so, she shook her head and said, "No, I woke up on my own. Butler is too worried."
The butler let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at Lin Xuecha with a tired expression.
When she looked again, even when she was asleep, her hands were still holding the book, so she could not help but open her mouth to ask.
"Princess is really a studious person. After taking care of Your Highness for several days, the princess returned to the capital and still focused on studying. This old servant is truly impressed."
"…"
Lin Xuecha went silent, and laughed somewhat embarrassedly.
"Many thanks for the praise, Butler. Unfortunately, Snowy still fell asleep."
The steward sighed, "The princess is too tired. Why not, the princess should first accompany the old servant to eat something, then return to her room to bathe and rest. When she has recovered her spirits tomorrow, she can read a book.
These days, I believe that the princess is tired. This old servant believes in your highness and won't say that she's lazy. "
Lin Xuecha was extremely sleepy, as if he was about to fall asleep and not wake up.
Realizing that the butler's words made sense, she solemnly nodded her head. "Alright, let's do as he says."
Lin Xuecha's original plan was to first take a bath and then have a beautiful sleep after eating dinner.
However …
Plans were never able to keep up with change.
The butler brought Lin Xuecha to eat, but did not say anything. Baili Lianer and Su Nanxing were also having their meal there.
She looked out at the sky.
That's right.
It was dark.
Why would they eat?
It was not that she had never eaten in the Ninth Prince Palace before.
There was a time limit for breakfast and lunch in the Ninth Prince Palace.
Unless Su Nanxing gave the order.
Otherwise, they would usually eat at around the same time.
What happened today?
Could it be that they went out for a long walk and only came back not long ago, so they delayed their meal time?
Perhaps because he was thinking of a problem, Lin Xuecha's hazy eyes gradually regained their clarity.
She looked at Su Nanxing, who was currently sitting on the main seat, but Baili Lianer, was sitting in the seat that she used to sit on.
Lin Xuecha remained silent, then walked over and bowed to Su Nanxing as per etiquette.
However, before she wanted to bow, the man on the pushing chair asked before her.
"Where did you go after you left the palace?"
Lin Xuecha had yet to reply when he spoke out.
"Yeah, in the afternoon, where did you go with the Snow Tea? The Big Brother Nanxing sent people to look for you but they couldn't find it. Look, even the dinner was delayed for quite a while."
Lin Xuecha glanced at Baili Lianer.
She then shifted her gaze and looked at Su Nanxing.
"Since there's nothing better to do, I decided to go to the Tea Pavilion."
The man's eyebrows twitched, and heard Lin Xuecha's words.
"Perhaps it's because I'm a bit tired in the recent days, reading a book, and then I fell asleep. It's even the butler who awakened the Snow Tea. If you worry about your highness and Elder Sister Lian, please forgive me."
"Look at what you're saying."
Baili Lianer pouted at her, "Quickly come over and sit down for dinner, if you're really tired, after you finish eating, you should hurry up and rest, don't be sick anymore."
Lin Xuecha nodded.
She raised her eyes and subconsciously glanced at Su Nanxing.
Seeing that there was no other expression on his face, Chen Changsheng lightly lowered his eyes.
He found a place far away from them and sat down.
The atmosphere began to quiet down.
It was so quiet that one would not even dare to glance at it or say a word.
The steward was currently in this state.
However, when they saw that Lin Xuecha was seated a little far away, they might not be able to find any delicious dishes.
He walked up to her and asked, "Princess, what do you like to eat? This old servant will help you with the cloth dishes."
Today, Lin Xuecha had not eaten much, and was indeed hungry.
However, for some reason, whether he was hungry or not, he suddenly lost all desire to eat.
But no matter what, no one should be humiliated.
She was about to follow the butler's instructions.
Unexpectedly, the man sitting on the chair suddenly frowned, his deep black eyes focused on the butler.
"Princess, if you really want to eat, you will naturally come to pick up the dishes yourself. There is no need for you to talk so much."
