012: Subtle Things
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Linglong woke up.
"Exquisite!" Cinnabar cheered and fell on Linglong's body.
"Cough." Linglong was so pressed that she couldn't help coughing again, but when she looked up, she saw the face full of tears, and the expression on her face changed from surprise to a smile.
"Her Royal Highness." Linglong called gently, and there was an uncontrollable choking in her voice, "What are you doing? Why did you cry like this?"
"Linglong, Linglong!" The cinnabar seemed to see the lost baby. He hugged Linglong tightly and said, "I'm really scared. I'm afraid you will have an accident..."
"Your Highness, what's the accident of the maidservant?" Linglong gently patted the back of the cinnabar.
"Ah, Sister Linglong, you don't know," it happened that Xuan'er came in with a tray from the outside and saw the master and servant. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Since you were called by the Queen Mother, Your Highness, as if she had lost her treasure, was so anxious that she cried again and again."
"No." Lvyu brought a handkerchief soaked in hot water, handed it to the cinnabar, and then handed it to Linglong. He said, "Your Highness, hold Sister Linglong tightly. Maybe it's not so tight. Sister Linglong has already woken up..."
"Dead hoof, just talk too much." Although there was a smile on her face, looking at the embarrassed cinnabar, Linglong still scolded the green jade with a straight face, "You are so used to it, but you are not so big or small."
Lvyu spit out her tongue, still heartless.
"Linglong, what's the matter with the Queen calling you?" Cinnabar suddenly remembered the problem and asked Linglong.
Linglong was stunned, but didn't say anything.
What do you want her to say? In the face of such a kind-hearted and simple child, how can she tell her about the evil in the world of the ugly people in the palace?
Seeing that Linglong didn't speak, Xuaner hurriedly said, "Sister Linglong, I brought some white porridge from the imperial kitchen, and I also invited Sister Linglong to eat some first."
"Ah, yes, I'm afraid Sister Linglong hasn't eaten for a day?" The parrot girl also hurriedly answered next to her. Although cinnabar wanted to ask what was going on, she was afraid that Linglong would be hungry and nodded and said yes.
Although Linglong doesn't have any appetite, she has to get up and eat some. There were too many surprises and shocks today, which made her confused. She really didn't know how to answer the words of cinnabar and what kind of story she should make up to tell cinnabar.
As soon as I got up and didn't wait to sit at the table, I heard someone laughing loudly at the gate of the courtyard, "Is Your Highness there?"
This feminine voice, with a unique joke tone, makes people know who is talking as soon as they hear it.
Tibetan orchid.
When the green jade led Zang Lan to the hospital, Xuaner had already hurriedly wiped the face of the cinnabar and tidied up the clothes. Linglong tidied up her clothes again with lightning speed, and then stood beside the cinnabar. Cinnabar looked at the reserved and exquisite face with a little surprise. The blush on the girl's face was a little strange, and her expression was also awkward. But it is completely different from the calm appearance of ordinary people. While he was curious, the Zanglan came over with a small cloth bag.
"I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Zanglan narrowed her fox-like smiling eyes and looked at Linglong standing behind the cinnabar. Linglong glared at Zanglan.
"Zanglan, what's the matter?" Although Zhu Sha was a little embarrassed about his misunderstanding of Bai Yin, he didn't want to reveal it in front of the little eunuch Zanglan.
"In the words of Your Highness the Princess," Zanglan looked away from Linglong's body, fell on the cinnabar, and said with a respectful smile, "The prince sent me to send you something to the princess."
With that, Zanglan presented the small cloth bag in his hand.
Seeing that the cinnabar did not move, Xuaner wanted to go forward to pick it up. However, at this time, Linglong suddenly realized something and rushed over and grabbed the cloth bag.
"Well, Linglong is really energetic." Zanglan said with a smile.
"Shut your mouth." Linglong's face turned red and she held the cloth bag tightly.
This is really, strange things happen year after year, and there are a lot of them today... Xuan'er looked at the strange Zanglan and Linglong, and finally there was a confused pestle.
"Then the slave said goodbye." Zang Lan bowed and said goodbye, "Your Highness, do you have anything to say to the prince?"
A trace of cunning flashed on the handsome face, and Zang Lan quietly looked up at the cinnabar's reaction. Hearing Zanglan's question, all the girls and others also looked at the cinnabar. But when he saw that the cinnabar opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, he finally blushed and coughed twice.
"Then the slave said goodbye." Zang Lan smiled quietly and bowed and withdrew from "Drunken Fuxuan".
It's weird, weird.
This is the resonance that flashed in the hearts of all the girls. Their eyes gathered on the strange master and servant again, but the master and servant who had their own thoughts coincidentally turned and walked into the small room. The cinnabar walked in and closed the door. It was originally the room of the maids of honor... It was so good that it was occupied by the master and servant.
Several people wanted to cry without tears.
Linglong slowly opened the small cloth bag and presented it in front of her. It was indeed a cyan dress. It was exactly the same as what the cinnabar wore at the banquet of the envoys of Wuzhao.
He took out this dress and raised it in front of the cinnabar.
The cinnabar looked at this dress with tongue-tonguedness and was shocked. Her lips trembled for a long time before she said, "Linglong...Linglong, I made you feel wronged."
"I dare not!" Linglong knelt down to the ground and said sincerely, "It is a blessing for Linglong in this life to share the worries of the Lord. Your Highness doesn't know... How happy it is to share your worries for you..."
"Exquisite!" The cinnabar took a step forward and hugged Linglong tightly. Linglong trembled gently, and finally closed his eyes tightly, and tears slipped down.
"The mother of a slave, her name is right." After a little calming down, Linglong said slowly, "She has been following Princess Hongling since she entered the palace. My mother has an unhappy past. Before the slave, there was an elder brother who died of illness. Therefore, the mother takes care of Princess Hongling with her heart. Like Her Royal Highness, Princess Hongling is so kind and gentle and considerate to everyone in the palace. Later, the slave's father came from the countryside. Considering his mother's attachment to his wife, he asked the emperor to allow his mother to leave the palace. This is how Linglong came to the world. Even Linglong's name was taken by Princess Hongling for the slave maidservant. Later, when the maidservant was four years old, my father left. My mother didn't have much savings, but she was dragged down like this, and her family was getting worse and worse. Princess Hongling was gentle by nature, so she connected the maidservant mother and daughter into the palace and took good care of the maidservant mother and daughter. It was not until Princess Hongling married Wuzhao and specially gave her mother a silver house before she married. How can I not be grateful for her great kindness in my life! I have long vowed in my heart that one day I will repay the kindness of Princess Hongling, even if it is a cow and a horse. However, how difficult my mother was in her life. When I was seven years old, I finally died..."
Linglong's eyes turned red, sighed gently, and said, "At this time, my uncles and aunts who have not taken care of us for many years came to me, bullied me when I was young, occupied my property, and wanted to sell me to the brothel. Fortunately, I met Queen Chu Yun's close maid Xiushui, rescued me and brought me into the palace. The maidservant had cut off her expectations for this life and thought that she would spend the rest of her life muddle-headedly. Who would have the eyes of heaven to make the princess go to the big business and fulfill Linglong's lifelong wish to repay Princess Hongling. What an honor it is!"
When cinnabar heard this, I couldn't help but feel excited. It turned out that long before she was born, the mother had planted a seed of reason for her and had such a quiet and beautiful fruit.
"Who would have thought that Her Royal Highness was so kind, just like Princess Hongling, not to mention treating Linglong so well! What's more, Linglong is so grateful that I don't know how to repay her. Linglong paused and said again, "The Queen of Chu Yun may be taboo about your Highness, although I don't know what's going on. But the Queen is a retribution and suspicious person. I'm afraid she won't pass easily. Your Highness, from today on, you have to be more careful!"
The cinnabar nodded heavily and suddenly said, "Then why did she call you for so long? Have you ever been embarrassed? I saw that Bai Yin sent you back, but there was something offensive to you?"
Linglong hesitated for a moment, and finally bit her lip, showed a smile, and said, "The queen has never embarrassed the slave maidservant. She thought that she didn't know how to respond for a moment. It was impossible to know that she was in a hurry when she was thinking about it. Fortunately... Prince Duan passed by and sent the maidservant back.
"So, is it really my fault?" Zhu Sha rubbed his face with some distress. The man's hands were really heavy, which made his face still sour now. But... Will my misunderstanding of him at that time be a little too much?
There is a complex light in the exquisite eyes, as if several thoughts are entangled and fighting fiercely. Her eyes fell on the crime dress, as if this dress made her make a decision. Linglong took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Prince Duan... Although it's a little unfathomable, but... I hope you can get closer to him now."
How close are you to him?
The cinnabar was stricken by Linglong's words and turned his head and stared at her in surprise.
Linglong nodded.
"Although Wang Baiyin's background is very unpredictable, the city government is also so deep that it is unknown. But Your Highness, you have been stared at by Queen Chu Yun so closely. It is not a matter of day to ask her to change your hostility to you. A tall man, his heart is as deep as the sea. Your Highness, you are helpless in Dashang. At this time... If there is a person who can protect you, I'm afraid it's only Prince Duan." Linglong said thoughtfully, "No matter what kind of thoughts he has..."
