Chapter 13: White Lies
After pushing open the door and looking at the chaotic room, Mao Xiaolin sighed, and his face was bored, as if he had forgotten these things before entering the door.
Although the room is not big, it is not easy to clean up, after all, the bed has collapsed, and there are some messy ornaments, plus the house is full of garbage, Shuo material bags, half-gnawed apples, drink bottles, etc.
"Huh, it's a mess, how can this princess sleep, you still don't clean up. ”
As he spoke, Mao Xiaolin's eyes had already drifted over, and he looked at her with a complaining face and said, "I'm embarrassed to say, isn't this all thanks to you, look at how far this garbage can flies out, it's strange if it's not messy." ”
"I didn't mean to. Hurry up, hurry up and clean up, this princess is going to bed. Princess Jin Ning looked at Mao Xiaolin with disgust and said.
"Still sleeping?such a big room, you let me do it alone, when will this be cleaned up, if you want to go to bed early, hurry over to help." Mao Xiaolin had already begun to move, bending down to pick up the big object on the ground and said to her.
"Hmph, are you mistaken, this princess is a daughter, how can she do such a thing. Princess Jin Ning straightened her waist, put on an arrogant posture, stood at the door and looked at Mao Xiaolin, who was packing up her things, and said.
"Yes, you're a princess, you can rest, I'll do it myself. Mao Xiaolin waved his hand to Princess Jin Ning helplessly and motioned for her to come in.
"That's pretty much it. Looking at the garbage all over the ground, Princess Jin Ning didn't know where to put her feet for a while, so she had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and move all the way to the sofa.
"Cast a spell to open this black box for me, the last performance was quite interesting, I still want to see it." Princess Jin Ning pointed to the TV in front of her and shouted, seeing this, Mao Xiaolin reluctantly put down the work in her hand and walked over to her, "I said princess, don't cast spells or anything at every turn, these are modern household appliances, which are very common, and I feel like I know how to do magic when you say it." Mao Xiaolin turned the TV on, picked up the remote control and found the channel for her, and muttered in his mouth.
"Okay, look, don't call me if it's okay, wait until you're done cleaning up, so I can let you sleep. Mao Xiaolin found a bear haunt for Princess Jinning, and when he saw her, he entered the state after a while, and he watched it with relish, and he didn't even pay attention to what he said to her, so he put down the remote control board, picked up the broom and continued to do it.
After a while, all the garbage in the house had been cleaned up, and all kinds of furniture and decorations were all in place, Mao Xiaolin picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, and then stretched.
Although the room was cleaned up, the most headache was this broken bed, buy a new one, but the funds were not enough, so I sighed helplessly, and said to myself, "Alas, it's better to repair and repair, let's use it." ”
Mao Xiaolin picked up the bed board that had fallen apart, and was about to find a nail to hammer it back, but think about it, it is now more than ten o'clock at night, and the neighbors may be asleep..... , I shuddered just thinking about it, after all, I didn't want to deal with the police, and I was worried, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he seemed to think of something, and suddenly threw down the wrench in his hand and ran towards Princess Jinning.
"Princess, princess. Mao Xiaolin walked over, sat next to Princess Jinning, and first called her softly, but when he saw that there was no response, he reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you ......"
"Get out of the way, don't disturb this princess. Mao Xiaolin didn't finish speaking, he was pushed away by Princess Jinning, and scolded, seeing this, Mao Xiaolin picked up the remote control and turned off the TV directly, this kind of behavior can make Princess Jinning angry, seeing that she stood up suddenly, she lost her temper and quarreled.
"What have you done, you dog minion, find out to Princess Ben!"
"It's fine for me to find out, but you have to answer me for something. Mao Xiaolin put his hands behind his back, put the remote control behind him, and looked at Princess Jin Ning, who was losing her temper, and said.
"You bastard, I'll kill you before I find out Princess Ben!" Princess Jin Ning didn't pay attention to it so much, now she just wants to continue to appreciate the bear infested, but Mao Xiaolin also knows very well that once the TV is turned on, it will be difficult to talk to her, so he didn't wait for him to agree, so he insisted on being the first.
"Tell me the truth, is the gold ingots you gave to Li Long just now real?" Mao Xiaolin was a little anxious, and asked straight to the point as soon as he came up.
"It must be true, that ingots are my Tang Dynasty official silver, hide it on my body, I originally planned to use it when I ran away from home, but the palace guards were strict, and I was caught by the royal brother before leaving, and I was tied up, forcing me to marry the prince of Xiliang. Saying that, Princess Jin Ning's face licked a little sad, and when she saw that she sat down in a daze, she didn't continue to argue for Mao Xiaolin to turn on the TV, but shed a few tears and rolled down her cheeks.
"What's wrong with you, why are you crying?" Looking at Princess Jinning's sad expression, Mao Xiaolin seemed to regret asking this question, and saw him comforting in a low voice, "Since you don't want to marry Prince Xiliang, then why do you want to go back?"
"That's right, I hate him, I hate him, I don't want to see him, but he is my royal brother after all, I am Princess Jinning of the Tang Dynasty, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life, although it is impossible......" Princess Jinning suddenly became emotional, and the tears on her face became bigger and bigger, and her eyes slowly blurred.
"Don't cry, why are you crying again? Oh, as soon as you cry, my heart is panicked, don't cry, okay. Mao Xiaolin was in a hurry, and there was no way to deal with it, so he decided to tell a lie, although he had told a lot of lies in his life, but this time it can be said to be the most classic one, because this lie will change the fate of a princess of the Tang Dynasty.
"Princess, do you still want to go back to the Tang Dynasty where you are, maybe I can help you. Mao Xiaolin behaved very calmly, his serious and sincere eyes seemed to be able to speak, which made people feel a sense of trust when they saw it.
As a result, Princess Jin Ning raised her head with tears in her eyes, and stared at Mao Xiaolin with blurred eyes and asked. "You, do you really have a way to send me back?"
"Of course, there is nothing in the world that I Mao Xiaolin can't do, just rest assured, wrap it up on me. Mao Xiaolin looked at Princess Jin Ning seriously and said.
"Well, that's great, you cast a spell now, quick, turn me back. Princess Jinning wiped her tears, moistened her blurred eyes, and looked at her expression, as if she had seen the light of hope again.
"Well, this one, don't worry, I still have to collect energy, and when the energy is full, you can naturally go back." Mao Xiaolin is a little weak-hearted, although he is lying now, it is much better than watching her cry.
"Then you say, how long does it take for this energy to be collected before it is full?" Princess Jin Ning asked suspiciously,
With this question, Mao Xiaolin directly stretched out his orchid finger, so he pretended to be a master, only to see that his eyes were closed, and his mouth seemed to be chanting some incantation.
"Alas, I said princess, this time it's a bit troublesome, your business is too big, so this energy must be doubled!" Mao Xiaolin sighed, looked at Princess Jin Ning with a serious expression, and said that this matter was not very smooth.
"Tell me what princess can go back to. Princess Jinning's surprise sounded again.
"This, this ......" Mao Xiaolin muttered for a while, then replied casually, "At least three years!"
"Shenma, you, you say three years!" Princess Jinning was shocked when she heard this, but at least she stopped crying now, and looked at Mao Xiaolin with confused eyes, "In other words, this princess will have to wait for three years?"
"No, that's right!" Mao Xiaolin also replied to her firmly, and after speaking, Princess Jin Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had poured everything out, and sat on the sofa lifelessly.
At this time, Mao Xiaolin pouted and was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with an extremely rich expression, "I'll go, I forgot about this?" Said that he hurriedly stood up, kept patting his head and ran out of the door, and only turned around when he was about to go out, looked at Princess Jinning with a lost face and said, "Princess, you wait at home for a while, I'll go and go back!"
