Chapter 125: Sleepless Night
Chapter 125: Sleepless Night
"Hey, Xiaogong, it's been this hour, listen to the movement inside, don't you need us anymore?"
On the ninth day of the moon, the emperor and all the ministers also dispersed, and those who returned to the palace returned to the palace, and those who returned to the palace returned to the palace. Xiao Lan and Xiao Gong stayed outside for a long time, and they didn't see Luo Zijin's call, Xiao Lan couldn't help the tiredness of the day, and asked with a yawn.
"We shouldn't be needed anymore. It's not early, so let's go back and change our clothes first, and get ready to serve tomorrow morning. Xiao Gong looked at the hour, and the sky was already dark and could not be darker any longer, and knew that it was the last moment before dawn, and decided not to stay long. It's okay if they haven't slept all night, they have long been mentally prepared for this. It's just that they have to serve His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess early tomorrow morning, and they must also be prepared.
"Well, good. Xiao Lan saw that Xiao Gong was also relieved, so she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave with Xiao Gong.
Xiao Gong watched Xiao Lan pack up her things, so she shook off her hand, walked to the Wang House standing under the porch, stopped beside him and said, "We are going back, and we will definitely come back in an hour." During that period, if His Royal Highness and Niangniang are in need, your lordship will send someone to call us. ”
"Go back, and nothing should happen. Wang Wu nodded, and let him go. He's used to guarding, so naturally he doesn't think there's anything. Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan are girls in the end, he can understand it.
"Thank you. Xiao Gong nodded, and seeing that Xiao Lan's side had also cleaned up, he left with her and returned to the room he had set before.
I don't know if everyone is intentional or unintentional, Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan each have a room. They are the only two dowries of the crown princess. The natural location is different from the other maids in the house. At the beginning, the matter of this room was also proposed by Luo Zijin, and the prince did not have any opinions. Presumably. Not only the crown prince, but also Murong Shuo in this.
Luo Zijin is because Xiaogong is her sister and doesn't want her to be wronged. In addition, he also wanted to create some opportunities for her and Murong Shuo. I'm afraid that on the prince's side, Murong Shuo's meaning is also to observe her more conveniently. After that day, Murong Shuo did not appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion again, but Wei Wei appeared. and the appearance of the small gong, which made him have to be suspicious.
Xiaolan is a nervous person, what others arrange her to do. She just does what she does, where she thinks so much. Her only regret is that she can't live with Xiaoluo, she is lonely in the room alone, and she is not interesting to eat. Small gong compared to her. That's a lot more to know. Not only do you know the meaning of all parties. And he is happy to be pure. It's not that she doesn't like Xiaolan, it's just that she is now overwhelmed by all kinds of things every day, and she really doesn't have the energy to pass Xiaolan anymore.
The two of them went back to the room, each of course, resting for rest, changing clothes. Xiao Lan didn't even finish taking off her clothes, and she had already fallen asleep. Only the small gong, change clothes and sit on the bed. Unable to sleep for a long time. Today is the night of candles in Luo Zijin's cave room, and she has been outside for a long time and has not seen any movement inside. It is likely that Luo Zijin has become a veritable princess according to what is written in the book.
Although she appeared here instead of Xiaogong, Luo Zijin was also good to her. Especially after she knows that "herself" is her half-sister, she is even better to herself. Putting aside any family and blood relationship, just to be friends, Xiaogong also likes her very much. Therefore, as a friend, Xiaogong actually doesn't approve of her becoming the prince's real woman so early.
is also a woman, she hopes that Luo Zijin can be with the person she really loves. Be happy together, live happily together. Although the crown prince is indeed her lover, they have only met a few times, and they have not known each other for a long time. Even at the behest of his parents, the words of the sacred tree became husband and wife, but they were still strangers. If it was Xiaogong himself, he would definitely not be able to hand himself over to the prince at this time. Comparing her heart to her heart, she actually feels very sorry for the current Luo Zijin.
But she couldn't stop it, tonight, they had to be together. Whether it's really together or fake, they all have to be together. Just like the prince said, this is for Luo Zijin's good.
If the prince did not touch her for physical reasons, then her role would be suspected. When the time comes, I'm afraid that even the prince won't be able to protect her. Only when her good help to the crown prince is obvious, everyone will agree that she will come forward in place of the prince. Otherwise, how can a woman who doesn't even please the prince speak out on behalf of the prince.
The worry and distress of Luo Zijin is indeed the reason why Xiaogong can't sleep. But that's only one of the reasons. There is a more important reason, which is that after tonight, the real thing for her to start working on is officially begun. And these things were recorded by Murong Shuo in the "Loquat Notes", and she couldn't do it if she wanted to.
Murong Shuo always wanted to know her purpose, and always wanted to know who the person behind her was. But he couldn't have imagined that the person who "guided" the little gong was actually himself. A person's biggest enemy is always himself, I'm afraid this is also the reason why Murong Shuo has been led by the nose by Xiao Gong. No matter how smart he is, can he easily defeat himself?
The long, short night passed quickly. The spirit of the little gong that hasn't slept all night is okay. After washing his face and combing his makeup and hair, he went out to call Xiaolan. Fortunately, she passed a while early, and the sky was still bright. Xiaolan was woken up, and she was not ambiguous, and directly began to tidy herself up. After a good night's sleep, her spirit seemed to be much better than that of the gentle little gong. The two discussed for a while, then prepared their own toiletries and brought other maids to the prince's main hall.
The crown prince was going to take the crown princess to the palace early in the morning to greet the emperor. Although the queen has passed away, the mother of the second prince and the third prince is still there, and the crown princess should also go to meet them after worshipping the queen's spiritual seat. Therefore, this early in the morning, the crown prince and the crown princess had to get up early. Xiao Gong didn't want to disturb them, but seeing that the deadline was approaching, she discussed it with Wang Wu and knocked on the door to enter.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the crown prince and the princess had already gotten up. Even the crown princess has already begun to change the crown prince's clothes. Seeing this, Xiao Gong hurriedly asked people to come forward to help. She took the tray with Xiaolan and walked towards the bed of the crown prince and the crown princess. There is a piece of pure white silk brocade on the bed, called "falling red brocade", which is the proof of the indispensable experience of every couple in Daqi.
Especially in the royal family, it is indispensable. Even the queen has to see it herself. Although there is no queen now, there is still the second prince's mother, Concubine De, who is in charge of the harem, and of course this "Luo Hongjin" will be sent to her for a look. (To be continued.) )
