Chapter 225 Getting along
After having dinner quietly alone, Fan Linling finally had a rare rest time.
She sat on the couch beside the bed, leaning against the soft pillow, supporting her chin with one hand, just in a daze.
After sitting for a while, she felt her legs a little numb, so she took off her shoes and crossed her legs.
There were no outsiders in the room except her maid who came with her as a dowry, so she didn't have to worry about being gossiped about.
She was thinking about something randomly.
Some are from my mother’s family, some are heard from the palace, and some are from the mansion.
When I was at home, I never felt that being a mistress was so tiring!
If only I didn't become the Princess of Yong...
This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, giving Fan Linling a fright.
She quickly pinched herself and warned herself.
How can you think like that?
Marrying Prince Yong was a blessing that many people could not hope for. Prince Yong was just a little strict with his rules, but he was not a bad person. At least he was not like the emperor who would chop off people's heads at will.
Fan Linling encouraged herself repeatedly.
Just as I was muttering to myself, suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps, followed by the maid's surprised voice.
"Princess, the prince is coming!"
Fan Linling hurried to put on her shoes.
But just as she put on one shoe, she heard Li Chengye walking to the door.
For a moment, Fan Linling didn't know whether she should put on her shoes first or go to the door to greet them.
When Li Chengye stepped into the room, he saw his wife standing on one leg, looking at a loss.
In her hand she held a pair of soft-soled embroidered shoes with pink butterflies embroidered on them.
Li Chengye's gaze paused for several seconds before slowly moving upwards.
Fan Linling felt like her face was about to turn into charcoal.
She put down her shoes in a hurry and tried to put her feet into them, but she was too anxious and couldn't get them on.
Li Chengye saw that she was almost crying, and for some reason he wanted to laugh.
He had no choice but to put his fist to his lips and cough lightly.
"Everyone get out."
All the maids and servants in the house retreated outside in an instant.
He thought that without outsiders watching, the princess would be relieved.
But she seemed even more nervous.
Her round face turned red, just like the plate of red dates on the table.
Li Chengye covered his mouth, pretending that he saw nothing, and walked to the couch and sat down.
"When I entered the palace today, did my mother tell you anything?"
Hearing this, Fan Linling no longer cared about the shoes on her feet. She calmed herself down and spoke.
"Nothing special. On the contrary, the maidservant beside me heard that the wife of Marquis Gu'an came to the palace to discuss the marriage of the eldest princess."
She glanced at Li Chengye cautiously, and when she saw that he did not look displeased, she continued speaking.
"The wife of the Marquis of Gu'an intends to bring her brother-in-law and the eldest princess together. I heard that the princess is quite satisfied."
Li Chengye really didn't know about this.
Although they are blood siblings, Li Chengyu would not tell her brother everything.
"What does mother mean?"
Li Chengye looked normal and asked again.
Fan Linling thought about it carefully: "I see that the Queen Mother neither agrees nor disagrees. Maybe she wants the princess to make her own decision. Or maybe I am stupid and can't see what the Queen Mother is thinking. However, I think the Queen Mother will not treat the princess badly."
Li Chengye raised his eyebrows.
"Indeed, my mother has always been fair and has been quite indulgent towards Yu'er. When you enter the palace the day after tomorrow, remember to go to Yu'er's place. You don't have to ask her anything. She will tell you everything without you having to ask."
Speaking of his sister, Li Chengyin frowned.
Fan Linling, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.
Now I guess the prince won't remember his impolite behavior just now.
After the two chatted for a few sentences, there was nothing to say for a while, and Li Chengye shook his sleeves.
"Go to sleep!"
Fan Linling had relaxed a little, but after hearing this, she became nervous again.
She squeezed her palms and took a breath.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, she shouted a few words outside and asked the maids to come in and serve.
Soon, the candle went out and the room was dark, with only the red charcoal fire in the stove.
The next day.
Li Chengye, who expressed disdain but still couldn't let go of his sister, asked people to inquire about the situation in Gu'an Marquis' Mansion as soon as he went out.
