713. Ancestor, can we leave tomorrow?
Tea? Where?
Lin Yi turned his head and looked around, then he saw a teapot and cups on the table next to him.
He walked over slowly like a true servant and slowly filled a cup of tea. In this quiet environment, the sound of flowing water made people feel comfortable.
Lin Yi walked towards Lin Jingyue holding a teacup. Logically speaking, Lin Jingyue was the strongest in the world and the only first-generation immortal. She should have been able to tell that the person who came in was not an ordinary person.
It’s a pity that her cultivation level is nothing compared to the ancestor, so if Lin Jingyue wants to detect Lin Yi’s special aura, she may not be able to do it even if she practices for tens of thousands of years.
Putting the teacup on the table, Lin Yi took the candied haws and stepped back a few steps, waiting quietly on the side.
Lin Jingyue then put down the memorial. She sighed and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
Having been an emperor for nearly a thousand years, Lin Jingyue's every move has engraved the emperor's aura deeply into his bones. Even the action of picking up the teacup reveals the loneliness and coldness of being above thousands of people.
Lin Yi watched quietly from behind. The empress tied her hair up, revealing a white and slender neck. A few strands of messy hair were scattered on it, making her neck look even whiter.
"The tea is a little cold, please heat it up again."
Lin Jingyue put the cup on the table.
Lin Yi took the cup away and put the teapot on the stove.
He turned around and looked at Lin Jingyue, and couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't looked up at the person who came in for such a long time. This scene must have happened billions of times in the past few hundred years.
The immortal empress was immortal and handled government affairs day after day, while the servants who were responsible for taking care of her grew old and died one after another.
Lin Yi suddenly wondered if Lin Jingyue was deliberately not wanting to look at these servants any more, so as to avoid feeling sad about how things and people have changed in the future.
It is normal for immortals to live for thousands of years, but most of the time they are in seclusion and practicing, so they cannot feel the passage of time.
But Lin Jingyue is different, she has lived in the human world for thousands of years.
The years passed by clearly before her eyes. She had seen so many changes in the world, but she did not go crazy. She just felt tired, which was already rare.
Lin Yi suddenly felt sorry for this woman.
Of course, maybe she had her reasons for persisting.
Perhaps, the next meeting with me will be the reason for her to persevere...
Lin Yi's expression changed slightly when he found that Lin Jingyue had put down the memorial at this moment, and his tired eyes were staring at a portrait on the table in a daze.
The portrait was of Lin Yi, but it was no longer clear which previous meeting it was copied from.
Lin Jingyue raised her hand and stroked the portrait, blinking her eyes slightly. The memory of an unknown year came back to her mind again.
She looked away and picked up the memorial to read again, but this time she spoke: "Xiao Anzi, why are you so quiet today? This is not like you."
Lin Yi was stunned.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door in front of him was suddenly pushed open: "Your Majesty, Xiao Anzi is here to add some tea for you!"
A young eunuch pushed open the door and stood at the entrance. He looked at Lin Yi holding the candied haws in surprise, then looked at Lin Jingyue. Thinking that Lin Jingyue was discussing something with someone, he quickly retreated.
"Your Majesty, I will come back later."
Xiao Anzi retreated again.
Lin Jingyue looked at the scene stupidly, then immediately turned his head to look towards Lin Yi!
She just looked at Lin Yi quietly, as if she didn't know him, and stared at him for a long time until her eyes became hot and tears welled up in her eyes. Lin Jingyue threw the memorial on the table and ran towards Lin Yi.
The black and gold imperial robe was so beautiful that it looked like the skirt of a young girl.
"Grandfather, you are finally here!"
Lin Jingyue jumped up and hung on Lin Yi's neck like a koala, wrapping her legs around Lin Yi's waist, feeling extremely happy.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, smiled, and then took the candied haws to Lin Jingyue: "This is a gift for you. It is really suitable for eating in winter."
"I thought you weren't coming until next summer!"
Lin Jingyue immediately took the candied haws, put it to her mouth and ate one, then brought it to Lin Yi's mouth and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, eat it too!"
Lin Yi didn't refuse and ate the second one.
The two of them shared the candied haws in this strange "tree and koala" posture, and the last one fell into Lin Jingyue's mouth.
She looked at Lin Yi happily, her hair stuck to her face due to tears, and there was red maltose stuck to the corners of her lips. Lin Jingyue didn't know what to say. Thousands of words had already been choked by the days and nights of the past two hundred years.
"Ancestor, eat too."
Lin Jingyue kissed Lin Yi on the mouth and put the last candied haws into Lin Yi's mouth.
This is the sweetness that Lin Yi had never imagined.
The black and gold imperial robe fell to the ground. Lin Jingyue put down his legs and gently pushed Lin Yi to the ground.
She knelt beside him, her eyes misty with tears as she said, "I want to punish the old ancestor for not coming to see me for so long. I want to commit a crime of insubordination!"
Lin Yi raised his hand and grabbed her slender fingers, then suddenly pulled hard, pushing Lin Jingyue to the ground like she was wrestling.
"Insulting one's superior? The prerequisite is that you have to be at the bottom."
Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lin Jingyue also smiled and raised her slender arms to hold Lin Yi's neck.
Just then, "Knock, knock, knock", the door was pushed open.
"Your Majesty? I'm here to get you another glass of water."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyue hurriedly waved her hand, and the room was instantly filled with fairy air. The door was then slammed shut, and Xiao Anzi was knocked out, falling headfirst into the thick snow outside the hall.
Only then did Lin Yi hug the woman's slender waist and kiss her forehead.
"Hey hey, what's going on?"
Xiao Anzi pulled himself out of the snow with great difficulty, straightened his hat and looked towards the imperial study. Only then did he discover that the entire imperial study was wrapped in a stream of colorful light that shot straight into the sky.
"Oh my god, there really are immortals in this world!"
"No, that man has never been seen in the palace... Could he be an assassin?!"
Recalling how he fell into the snow, Xiao Anzi suddenly had a bad feeling. He immediately stood up and ran while shouting, "Assassin! Catch the assassin! An assassin has held your majesty hostage!"
The quiet palace suddenly became lively as if a boiling pot had exploded.
A large number of guards surrounded the imperial study, but anyone who approached was immediately knocked away by a special energy.
After one hour.
inside the room.
a mess.
The memorials were thrown into a mess, and various porcelains fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
But the two people in the room put on their clothes slowly. Lin Yi stood behind Lin Jingyue and helped her comb her hair, while Lin Jingyue had a shy look on her face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Grandfather, when are you leaving?"
Lin Yi stopped combing her hair abruptly.
Feeling the changes behind her, the smile on Lin Jingyue's face gradually disappeared. She could only force a smile again and said with a pleading tone: "Can we leave tomorrow?"
