Elder Brother? Was the Wang Fei confused? How could she call the Wang Ye “elder brother”? This must be the concubine’s fault! Huier glared at the charming Yiqing.
Tianjie refers to the streets of the capital city, where the spring rain on Chang’an Street is smooth as silk. Early spring is the best season, far better than late spring when willows fill the city with smoke. Xier, how does this poetic sentiment compare to the previous poem?
She smiled calmly and asked, “Wang Fei, what’s wrong with you today? Your words are so literary that Xier is getting more confused!” Although it was early spring, the air was still cold. She stretched out her hands and blew hot breath on them.
“Really?” Another faint smile appeared as her long eyelashes fluttered in the gentle breeze, revealing the three characters “Hongyan Pavilion” again.
“LingEr!” She saw her approaching. The last time she accompanied the Wang Ye here had frightened her. Seeing LingEr’s rosy complexion eased her worry, and she hurried to greet her.
“Yanran, how’s business lately?” She held Yanran’s cold hands and asked.
“After the tacit understanding test you owed last time, business is booming! LingEr, are you free recently? My brother mentioned going on a spring outing. Perfect timing, come with us!” Yanran wore a pink dress with a white shawl. Although she had no dazzling hair accessories, a golden hairpin captivated attention. However, her complexion was pale, with dark circles under her eyes.
“Spring outing? You look exhausted! Why don’t you rest before going out? I have plenty of time to accompany you!”
She was ready to relax, but seeing Yanran’s expression, she couldn’t help but worry.
“Don’t worry! Brother, come out!” As soon as Yanran spoke, she felt a pang of regret. The last time LingEr got married, her brother had drunk all night. Now asking him to join LingEr on a spring outing might hurt his feelings.
“We’re ready! Shijie, Shixiong said he’ll be here soon!” A delicate hand, like white jade, lifted the curtain. Wearing a light green dress with a rosy complexion and a pearl hairpin like Yanran’s, she looked up and saw LingEr opposite her, somewhat surprised.
