The corners of the law king's lips twitched, as if he still had something to say, after all, he just glanced at her, hurriedly lowered his head again, bowed slightly, and left with the two servants.

Ling Xiang looked at He Chen's feet: "Now, would you like to tell me clearly?"

He Chen raised his eyes less, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and he asked expectantly, "...... You...... Is it really the crown princess?**** Empress Zhaode's ...... Daughter-in-law?"

This was an unusual question, and Ling Makeup didn't take it too much, staring at her and nodding.

He Chen got up from the ground, bowed down and said, "Please also invite Niangniang to sit at home with the little woman." ”

Her manners are decent, she is honest and decent, and she seems to have been specially trained to handle the scale, and Ling Makeup thought that she might have been a palace person, so she let her go first.

He Chen walked in front to lead the way, and Wang Shunfa was articulate and had already sent the villagers away.

The two nearest washerwomen on the path walked forward, and one of them said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Xiye has always been spicy, Brother Xiye was not less angry with her when he was alive, that lady looks kind, let's not meddle in things." ”

The other glanced back, and happened to bump into Ling Xuan's gaze.

Ling Xiang smiled softly at the woman.

The woman's thick dark face was hot, and she quickly returned a big smile, owed, and walked away quickly with her companion.

He Chen led Ling Makeup and his entourage back to his house, entered the door, and bowed to Ling Makeup again, "I wonder if the crown princess can leave your noble attendant to wait in the hall?"

Ling Xiang only felt that what she said was quite secretive and important, and said to Pindi, "You wait here." If the rabbits come back, you can keep them and wait for us to come out. ”

Pindi and Wenqin looked at each other a few times. Don't dare to disobey orders, they all squat and say yes.

He Chen led the way, Ling Xiang followed, and the two passed by a small patio behind the hall, He Chen opened a fence on the side of a grass hut at the back, and made a gesture of please sideways.

The He family's house was built under a small mound, and Ling Xiang went over to take a look. Outside the fence was originally a ridge of vegetable fields reclaimed from the hills, it was mid-spring, and the fields were planted with toon, beans, winter melons, green onions and other things. The hills are full of bamboo forests, and at a glance, many pointed bamboo shoots emerge, which are exactly the appearance of the diligent and honest farmers in the south of the Yangtze River.

If it weren't for the heavy burden on military households. In this land of fish and rice. The life of a farmer with hands and feet is actually not too hard.

He Chen obviously also noticed that Ling Xiang was staring at the vegetable field thoughtfully, and explained: "No matter how much is planted in the field, there is always not enough food to ......."

Today, Ling Xiang didn't want to talk to her about this, so she walked to the vegetable garden, pointed to the book in her arms and asked, "You wrote this book?"

He Chen took out the book from his arms, held it with both hands, bowed his head and presented it respectfully. "Indeed, it was written by the little woman, for fear that the outside would see. So she made a book, but the little woman was afraid that once the person was gone, many things would be annihilated, and no one knew about it, so she wrote it down casually, and she never looked at it to anyone, but just a thought of herself. ”

Ling Makeup took it, didn't turn it over, just asked, "Who are you?"

He Chen had knelt down in front of her and said in a trembling voice: "Slave maid...... The slave maid was originally a second-class girl next to the three girls in the Xia Mansion. ”

"Xia Fu?"

"It's the current Cheng'en Mansion, the third girl...... After all, she sat on the throne of the queen. ”

The first Ling Xiang faintly guessed that this woman might be from the palace, or related to Zhao Wangfu, but he really didn't expect that it was Xiao Xiahou's personal maid.

Generally in the minister's mansion, there is only a first-class girl next to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Zhengfang, and a second-class girl next to Miss is the person close to her in the room.

"Since you were once a servant of the queen's side, how could you marry into a military family?"

He Chen sighed unconsciously, "This matter is a long story. His eyes were slightly distracted from a certain place, but he quickly woke up, busy and pleading.

Ling Xiang said: "Don't be busy pleading, since you let me bump into it today, let's make it clear!"

He Chen's bow upright and kowtowed, and his face became even more solemn, "The slave is the son of the family, and the old man was originally a five-grade doctor, just because the eldest girl was favored by the prince of Zhao at the flower god sacrifice, and she was married to the son of heaven and married into the palace of the king of Zhao. ”

Just because the prince has been away since he was a child, he doesn't know much about his mother's family, and Ling Xiang is also the first time he has heard someone talk about the family history of the Xia family in detail, and he doesn't interrupt.

After the beginning, He Chen's family gradually sank into the past, and a touch of youthful beauty seemed to appear on his face, "The eldest girl became Princess Zhao, and everyone was happy, but Zhao Wangye was born like a crown of jade, and the appearance of a fairy, the third girl saw it, and she couldn't help but envy ...... in her heart."

After she said the word envy, her beautiful brows were furrowed, and a slightly mocking smile appeared on her lips, "It's still shallow to say that envy, since the third girl saw Prince Zhao, she thought about it at night, and she couldn't wait to replace the eldest girl!"

Hearing this, Ling Makeup had changed color slightly. The current Emperor Yongshao, with a wolf's voice, really can't make her imagine the appearance of "face like a crown of jade", but it can be seen that the four characters are quite reasonable, and the heart is broken, even if she was born well, she will change the color. However, since He Chen used to be the maidservant of Empress Xiaoxia, it was not the master who arranged it, and she was not necessarily a good person, so it is still a question whether she can believe her words.

Ling Xiang smiled coldly: "If you say this, aren't you afraid that I will bring you to the queen and die of humiliation?"

He Chen knelt upright, his dark eyes with ochre to meet her, he didn't flinch, and his voice became more and more stable: "The slave and maid have been turned around many times at the ghost gate, and it is a great luck to live to such an age and leave children." The crown princess is rich and prosperous, just like the eldest girl back then, Princess Zhao, the slave and maid are a good-faced person at first glance, even if they want the slave and maid to die, they dare not live in the world anymore. ”

Ling Jiao was silent for a moment and asked, "Listen to what you mean, there is still a little story about the **** Empress Zhaode and the current queen?"

"It's not just a story, it's far from that simple. ”

"Oh?"

After the flower god festival, the eldest girl had the title of the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was not only Zhao Wangye who took a fancy to her at the festival that day. ”

Ling Xiang frowned and thought carefully, it seems that when he first arrived in Jinling, he had heard Ye Yufeng mention this matter, saying that at that time, there was also the former deposed emperor Wei Wang who fell in love with Empress Zhaode, but King Zhao asked to marry the original match, and King Wei wanted to accept the side concubine, and at that time, King Zhao's biological mother Lou Guifei was alive, she was the sister of the original queen of the first emperor, and she was in charge of the six palaces at that time, and King Zhao naturally won the first prize.

"King Wei was raised by the queen of Xianlou, and he was very happy with the old emperor of Shunzuo, after the eldest girl became the princess of Zhao, he was still unwilling, and he couldn't help it, once, he met the three girls at the banquet in the Zhao Palace, and he saw at a glance that the three girls coveted the prince of Zhao. He Chen took a breath, "That's how it came about." (To be continued.) )
