Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 42 Pretend not to see

After all, the Obon Festival is a grand Buddhist festival. People come and go in Longquan Temple, pilgrims and monks come and go. Li Xin led Zhang Ben and Chen Hu through the crowd, admiring the lively scene with great interest.

To be honest, this year's Tang Dynasty was not smooth. This great empire experienced wars and droughts at the beginning of its birth. Although the people's life is very bad, they are still willing to celebrate on this special day, express their awe to the underground ancestors, and pray for a good year with good weather and good weather in the coming year.

With a smile, Li Xin bought a delicious mustard pancake from a vendor and gnawed on it, his lips were greasy. Although he had already had breakfast before going out, after walking so much, his stomach was already a little empty. In addition, the pancakes were really delicious. As a senior foodie, he couldn't resist.

While eating and wandering aimlessly like this, Li Xin suddenly saw that there seemed to be a large group of people in front of him, and the people walking at the back were wearing soap-colored clothes, standard servant attire.

Li Xin jumped in confidence, patted Zhang Ben on the shoulder and said, "Go, help me ask which servant is in front of me."

Zhang Ben got the order, smiled and went forward to chat with the people at the end of the team, then trotted back and said: "Go back to the prince, it is the Zhongshu Ling Chen Yin's family."

Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: Sure enough!

He was about to ask more questions when he heard Zhang Ben continue to say with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Chen brought her daughter to offer incense."

The smile on Zhang Ben's face at this moment actually has another name: tacit understanding between men!

The servants of Prince Chu's Mansion all know that their prince has never liked such activities as offering incense, but today he eagerly went out to Longquan Temple early in the morning. The motive must not be pure, maybe it was because he expected that there would be many girls coming home today. I came to Longquan Temple to offer incense, so I came here deliberately to join in the fun. So Zhang Ben had an idea and asked a few more questions.

Of course Li Xin didn't know what Zhang Ben thought of him, otherwise he would have kicked him off the mountain without saying a word. What does it mean that the motive must be impure? She is obviously a fair lady, a gentleman is so pure, she couldn't be more pure!

However, he didn't know it after all, so he just patted Zhang Ben's shoulder approvingly and said, "You're smart and witty! Well done!"

Zhang Ben smiled again, as if to say: "Where is that."

The servants surrounded the female family members of the Chen residence, so the overall speed of travel was greatly restricted. Li Xin led Zhang Ben and Chen Hu forward a few steps, and quickly chased from the end of the Chen family's team to the front, vaguely seeing three or five middle-aged women in bright red skirts surrounded by servant girls .

Beside the middle-aged woman stood a young girl wearing a sky-blue delicate Suzhou embroidered skirt. Li Xin glanced at it from a distance, and then smiled: If it's not Chen Youlan, who is it?

He coughed twice, suppressed his smile, and quickened his pace to pass by the Chen family's team, only slowing down a little when he passed by Chen Youlan's side.

Since the last time I impulsively told Li Xin that she was going to come to Longquan Temple to offer incense today, Chen Youlan was very nervous. Along the way, she quietly paid attention to all kinds of people beside her, fearing that Li Xin might be among them, or that Li Xin might not be among them. All in all, it is a very annoying mood that worries about gains and losses.

She got up early today and combed her hair. She chose the most beautiful hairpin and put it on her head. She also used rouge to draw the most fashionable flame pattern between her brows. Too beautiful!"

Chen Youlan really wanted to know, what kind of expression would Li Xin have when he saw himself today and knew that he was not the so-called ugly girl? Excitement or surprise?

Since the separation on Qixi night, Chen Youlan wrote "Qixi" several times at home, and Li Xin's demeanor and tone when he recited the poems that day were constantly replayed in her mind.

How could this be a poem that an ignorant dude could write?

Thinking back seriously, ever since I happened to meet Qin Huaiyu when I went out that day, and met Li Xin by the way, the image of Li Xin in Chen Youlan's heart has been changing, like an ever-changing light.

She really wanted to know what kind of person Li Xin was. Perhaps she didn't even realize it herself, but she was actually looking forward to meeting Li Xin today. Therefore, when Mrs. Chen chatted with her along the way, she always seemed a little absent-minded, which made Mrs. Chen ask her suspiciously several times if she was uncomfortable, and she quickly smiled and perfunctory.

The moment she raised her head, Chen Youlan's peripheral vision caught sight of the figures of servants who were several times away from her. She turned her head quickly and saw Li Xin in a familiar brocade robe.

Chen Youlan's heartbeat suddenly sped up a little bit, and she looked very calm on the surface—theoretically speaking, it was her non-existent younger brother Chen Zijin who had been in contact with Li Xin all this time. She should have never met Li Xin herself. So naturally you should pretend to be strangers.

She held her head up confidently, like a proud little swan showing her charm.

However, Li Xin's gaze hardly stayed on Chen Youlan's body, and just swept over it casually, as if sweeping across an empty space without people. He strode forward with his two guards, not once looking back.

Didn't see me? Looking at Li Xin's back, Chen Youlan frowned slightly and thought.

What she didn't know was that Li Xin, who passed by her expressionlessly, was laughing heartily at this moment.

That's right, Li Xin pretended to be so indifferent on purpose.

To be honest, today was the first time he saw Chen Youlan wearing a skirt. Although when he saw Chen Youlan wearing men's clothes earlier, he knew she must look good in skirts, but when he really saw her wearing such a beautiful skirt and putting on light makeup so meticulously, she was still beyond beautiful. he expected.

However, after all, Li Xin has been a human being in two lifetimes, so he won't be unable to walk when he sees a beautiful girl. As soon as his heart moved, he realized some of Chen Youlan's psychology: since Chen Youlan didn't choose to find a fat woman to appear here instead of her, then she obviously didn't want Li Xin to continue to misunderstand her as an ugly girl.

She made up this lie in the first place, in order to stimulate Li Xin to break off the engagement. But no matter what angle you look at right now, there is no way to break up her engagement with Li Xin, so why is there any need to continue this lie?

Li Xin knew a little bit of psychology. He believed that if Chen Youlan really had this mentality, she must expect him to be subdued by her beauty. But who is Li Xin? Is this the kind of person who submits obediently? Obviously not!

We all know that the less something is available, the more people want it.

Therefore, Li Xin deliberately acted indifferently, exuding an attitude of "you, Chen Youlan, are not very good-looking." Instead, Chen Youlan's attention was completely attracted by him.
