That was because in front of him, Ling Tian Qing did not have many such smiles.
Only during that time did she think that she had found happiness. Every day, when he was done with his duties, she would tell him many ridiculous things, observe his face, and smile brightly when she saw that he was happy.
Finally, he completely understood why his little queen would write in her diary that she loved him so lowly.
This was what it meant to be humble. Even when smiling, one had to look at his expression.
Even when she wanted to hug him, she had to ask for his opinion …
Seeing her put on a shorts and T-shirt, casually tying up her hair and sitting on a rock with Phoenix's neck in her arms, Ling Jin truly wished that he could become a phoenix and give her the support of silence.
"Your injury has completely healed." At first, Ling Tian did not dare to enter the mountain, because he was afraid that the people he met would still be searching for Gu Jueshan. Only half a month later did the little beggar confirm that there were no imperial guards near the Lonely Extreme Mountain, and only then did he dare to sneak in to check on Phoenix's injuries.
He touched the phoenix's right side. The feathers on the wound had yet to grow, but the scar had naturally fallen off, making it look completely healed.
The phoenix fluttered its wings, and its phoenix eyes shot out bright rays of light as it gently looked at her.
Ling Qing was flapped by its wings and almost fell back into the water. Holding onto the phoenix's slender neck, he chuckled, "Good phoenix, I brought you something nice to eat."
Ling Tian Qing had always thought that the phoenix would not eat or practice, and would not drink unless there was spring water. Who knew that once, she brought the wrong wine and the red wine to disinfect its wings, the phoenix was actually interested in the liquid made from grapes and drank the wine.
Ever since that time, every time Ling Tianqing came, she would bring some wine for the phoenix to drink.
And that weird old man was also addicted to wine. As long as she bribed him with some red wine, her weird grandpa would do anything for her.
When Phoenix became happy, she would dance and bring her to fly around the entire Lonely Extreme Mountain.
Ling Tian really wanted to build a thatched cottage under the spirit tree to accompany the Phoenix Bird, making wine from pine flowers and boiling tea in spring. What a wonderful life for the immortals.
However, she was afraid that one day, Ling Jin would come to hunt and hunt her …
Ling Zui continued to stand until sunset. He waited until Ling Qing was carried by the phoenix to the edge of the forest before following Ling Tian Qing to the side of the temple.
Who knew how many times Ling Lingcun had thought about it? If he were to suddenly appear in front of her, what expression Ling Qing would have.
Panic? Terrified? Unpossessed?
She would definitely panic and be more scared than happy.
Yes, his queen would not return at all. If she wanted to, she could bring her back if she ran to the palace gates or stopped any of the soldiers.
No, he didn't even need her to leave. As long as she had the thought, there would naturally be someone to pick her up.
But after three months, she didn't have any plans to come back. Every day, she would be happy, and every day, she would be able to live happily, many times happier than when she was by his side.
How could he take a little queen like that back?
Watching Ling Tian until he reached the spot he had set up, Ling Zhi turned around in depression. Under the cover of night, he entered a carriage and headed slowly towards the palace.
It was very lively in the evening at the Yi-Hong yuan.
Those rich second generations, officials second generations, upstarts, businessmen, and pawns were all gathered here.
Her sweet voice was sweet and melodious. A round, round, and round old man with a wretched appearance was sitting in a high-class room in the backyard, sipping a bright-red wine.
"This taste is a little astringent, isn't it too short?" While tasting the wine, the fat old man was also picking and choosing.
"Because any wine that lasted a little longer was all drunk by you!" Sitting beside the table was a handsome young man with white skin and radiant spiritual energy. In front of him were many bottles and jars; it was unknown what he was studying, but he had his head lowered as he spoke.
"Don't say it like that, grandfather, I've never tried to steal from you …"
"We don't steal nor rob. We just like to take advantage of the situation." Ling Tian Qing smiled.
Ever since Ling Tian had left the palace, he had grown up all night, and rarely showed any of his naivety.
The fat old man rubbed his round head in embarrassment as he laughed awkwardly: "Xiao Yu, the imperial edict on the notice is real …" You don't want to go to the execution grounds, do you? "
"Don't spout nonsense, I don't want to be captured by the soldiers." Ling Tian Qing's smile froze as he lowered his head and continued on with the white powder.
"That Wen Han couldn't really be his lover, right?" the fat old man asked, unwilling to give up.
"Grandfather, I don't like men." Ling Tian paused for a moment before speaking.
"You actually like women. No wonder you like being with girls so much." The fat old man said in realization.
"So don't ask that question." Ling Tianqing continued to play with her little toy, not bothering to explain anymore.
"But you … "It looks like he's going to die …" The fat old man said again.
Hearing his words, Ling Tian Qing raised his head suddenly and looked at the fat old man.
The fat old man trembled when he saw her cold gaze …
"I won't... "He won't die for any other man." After Ling Tian finished speaking, he withdrew his cold gaze.
"Tsk, you're still so young and have touched a few birds, yet you're saying such words." The fat old man said mischievously as he was stunned by her gaze.
"Grandfather, don't say such vulgar words! I used to study the habits of birds in another place, and have touched many birds. " It was the first time Ling Tian Qing heard the fat old man's mouth full of 'eggs' and 'birds'. He did not understand it then, but now he was used to it and was speechless towards the old man.
However, she didn't want the strange grandfather to see through her, so she replied half-jokingly.
"Haha, after touching so many birds, which one do you think is the best?" The strange old man started to feel ridiculous again.
Ling Tian Qing actually tilted his head in contemplation. After a moment of consideration, he answered seriously, "Phoenix."
"Hahaha …" This is not a bird that a mortal can touch. " The old man had one good thing, which was that he never asked Ling Tian what kind of person he was or where he came from, so he was not curious about Ling Qing at all.
It was enough for him to have the wine.
"Alright, young people like you can make money and have brains. Don't learn from those nuns and find a warm bed as soon as possible to enjoy the pleasures of young people." The fat old man laughed when he saw Ling Qing's unconcerned expression, but his tone was very pampered.
Ling Tian Qing did not know if this strange person could tell that he was a girl. She had denied it in the beginning, but the old man had firmly believed that she was a girl. If she continued to deny it, the old man would make her take out a "little bird" as proof of her manliness.
"Birds" don't come out just because they want to...
Sighing helplessly, Ling Qing poured the mixed medicinal powder into a small bottle, then said to the strange old man, "Grandfather, I'll go find the head storekeeper. Don't drink too much, go to sleep early."
After that, Ling Tian Qing left quickly.
The fat old man sighed as he heard Ling Qing's footsteps disappear. He then said with a smile, "Come in."
Without a sound, a young man came in. He was dressed in a short, dark blue suit and had a warm and gentle face.
If there was a distinguished official who frequented the palace and saw this young man here, he would definitely be shocked.
This was because he was one of the eight great guards of the king — Qing Yu.
The king's personal guards had always been known for their self-discipline. In the eyes of the masses and the masses, they were the spokesmen for justice and royal authority. It was simply inconceivable that they could slip into the backyard of the brothel.
"Eldest Master." After Qingyu entered, she deeply bowed towards the slovenly old man and respectfully called out.
The fat old man smacked his lips, as if he was afraid that Qingyu would snatch his wine away. After drinking it all in one go, he smiled and asked, "What are you here for again?"
"Eldest master, please advise esteemed queen. His Majesty doesn't think about food or tea. If this goes on, I'm afraid …" Jadeite was very respectful, but also very anxious.
"That's right!" The fat old man harrumphed, "If you really want to apologize, then why didn't you come personally? I don't think he's thinking enough, right? "
This chubby old man was precisely the mysterious old man that appeared in the snowy battlefield all those years ago.
Also … Imperial teacher.
"Eldest Master, His Majesty was afraid that the Empress would not be willing, so …" That's why I didn't dare to show my face first. " Qingyu's expression was filled with respect for the slovenly old man in front of her. Her tone was also gentle and respectful.
Even if they were in front of the fourth duke, they wouldn't use this kind of tone to request help.
It could be seen how high this fat old man's position was.
"Bullshit!" As expected, the fat old man wasn't even afraid of the king and directly cursed, "If that kid had such thoughts, what kind of cold beheading is he planning? You want to force Little Qing'er to go back to the palace and beg him? I think his brain... It's so funny! "
The fat old man thought for a moment before spitting out the adjective Ling Tian had said.
"Interesting?" Your Majesty didn't mean that... Before the Empress left, she seemed to beg the King not to look for him again, so … Blue Jade's face was filled with black lines. His job was too difficult, and he did not like it on both sides. If he were to convey these words to the king, he would definitely be scolded.
Furthermore, if his fiancee, Yanyu, were to find out about this, he would definitely die a horrible death.
"Enough, don't give him an excuse. How can his little schemes deceive the people of this world and me?" Pointing at his green eyes, the fat old man said with disdain.
"First Master, Your Majesty's actions … Actually, it was just to keep the cold warm. Now, he … "It's not heartless, it's different from before …" Qing Yu tried his best to explain.
"Does he know to let people go and let them go? He knows about brotherhood? Then why doesn't he know who taught him these things? " the fat old man asked sharply.
Qingyu was silent.
Ever since the little queen had left, Ling Xinqiao had indeed changed. Although it was hard to say exactly what had changed, but when it came to dealing with matters of the warm and cold, it was obvious that he had shown mercy.
In the past, Ling Feng would never allow someone who betrayed him to live.
Furthermore, preparing to let the tigers return to the mountain was not the style of a noble meeting.
He had always been merciless when it came to people who wanted to take advantage of him. Even if it was his own blood brother, he would not show mercy.
