Chapter 485
Yan Xin stayed in the palace for another two weeks. Apart from competing with Song Jinglan every day, she only wandered around with Lin Feilu both in and out of the palace. It was not until the end of the year that she had to leave.
Although Lin Feilu was reluctant to give up, it was not good to keep her sister-in-law here all the time and let her Eldest Brother endure the vacant room alone, so she didn't insist much. She didn't want Yan Xin to leave in an unbearable manner, which led her to control her facial expressions. In the end, she just packed a bunch of items for Yan Xin to bring home.
Song Jinglan had become busier these days. Sometimes, she would sneak into the Lin An Palace in the middle of the night to surprise him, but it was there she found out that he had not slept at all. Instead, he would still be reading and handling documents in his study.
Lin Feilu didn't want to disturb him anymore. In order to send Yan Xin away conveniently, the two of them left the palace the day before to go to the couple's house in Xinyi Lane. The palace servants brought her the horses that she had already prepared in advance as the two ladies spent the night in the house. Early the following day, Lin Feilu sent her out of the city.
As soon as she went out, she saw Song Jinglan holding a bundled-up package. He led a horse as he stood under the magnolia flower tree, waiting for her with a smile on his face.
Lin Feilu hadn't reacted yet, "Why are you here? I can just send her off."
Song Jinglan smiled and said, "Why don't you go with her?"
Lin Feilu was stunned for a while. Thinking she had heard it wrong, she asked again, "Going together? Where?"
He took two steps, tugged the girl down from the stairs and stroked her doubtful yet confused little head. He said softly, "It's almost Chinese New Year, how about we go to the Qin Mountain to celebrate the New Year with them?"
It was still dark, and the sky behind was misty, but a ray of light shone through behind the mountains from a distance.
Lin Feilu stared at him momentarily before she threw herself into his arms.
Song Jinglan had to let go of the reins to catch the little girl in his arms. Fortunately, the horse was obedient, and after being let go, it merely paced around and did not run away.
She rubbed against his neck for a while until she lifted her head and bit his neck slightly, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
Song Jinglan smiled and asked, "Are you happy with the surprise for you?"
She snorted, but kissed his slightly stubbled chin again.
When Yan Xin heard that the two of them were going to go with her, she was naturally very happy. But after that, she was a little worried and asked Song Jinglan, "Does Your Majesty not need to deal with state affairs?"
Lin Feilu got on the big black horse, "He's been so busy these days, so he must be done."
Song Jinglan smiled and nodded, "She's right."
