Chapter 91
Regarding the matter of meeting Sun Zhongwei in King Ning's Mansion, Lin Sansi did not tell SΓΉ Fuling and Lily, he felt that it was not necessary, and the matter had passed, but these two people had a bad impression of Sun Zhongwei, and they also guessed that Sun Zhongwei had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so his attitude was naturally not so kind.
"Miss Sun, please have tea." Lily put the teacup on the table, turned around and walked away with the teatray.
Although Sun Zhongwei came to ask Lin Sansi to do something, she only restrained her temperament when facing Lin Sansi, and she was used to being arrogant to the maid, as soon as Lily turned around, she reached out and touched it, and found that the wall of the cup was a little hot, and couldn't help exclaiming squeamishly: "What's the matter with you, why are you so hot!" β
When he said this, Lin Sansi happened to take the tea cup from Lily's hand, and when he heard the words, he took a sip of the cup and asked strangely: "My water temperature is just right, Miss Sun, is your tea very hot?" β
Lin Sansi said, looking at Lily suspiciously, Lily suddenly felt a little cramped and uneasy, she didn't expect that it was just to make Miss Sun, who made her always look like no one in her eyes, but she didn't expect her to be really so squeamish, but the water temperature was a little higher and she shouted, and just about to open her mouth to refute, Fu Ling spoke first.
"Miss Sun, this tea is freshly brewed, your tea and Miss's tea are also used in the same pot of water, the slaves are worried about the heat, so before it is served, the slaves and maids deliberately let it cool for a while, my young lady drank it just right, if Miss Sun feels that it is still a little hot, the slave and the maid will make you a new cup, is it okay?"
When Fu Ling spoke, she was already down-to-earth and generous, and her words were very sincere, it sounded like Sun Zhongwei was quite unreasonable and deliberately made things difficult, Sun Zhongwei's face was red, she came to the door today, she already had a request for others, if it was for a cup of tea to ruin everyone's interest, it would be more than worth the loss, as for the tea, if it was too hot, she would put it aside, anyway, she didn't come here to drink tea. She thought about it for a while, then raised her head and became arrogant, and said: "Lin Liangdi said it was just right, I think it may be that I was too anxious to find out just now, but now I am really just right." β
Fu Ling saw that Sun Zhongwei didn't pursue it anymore, so she put her mind at ease: "Miss, Mother Liu from the dining room came to look for you just now, and when she saw a guest coming, she left, and the slave took Lily over to see if there was anything wrong." β
Lin Sansi nodded: "Go ahead." β
Fu Ling gave Lily a look, turned around and walked out of the house, Lily bit her lip, knew that she had done something wrong, and followed her out of the door.
Sun Zhongwei was still squirming and pinching, not wanting to say the purpose of coming here today in front of Lily and Fu Ling, but now it's okay, only Lin Sansi is left. She stretched out her slender jade fingers, brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and a pair of willow eyebrows were revealed, with her long phoenix eyes and cherry mouth, her appearance was also standard. "Actually, after I went back that day, I told my cousin about it, and she also told King Ning, but King Ning's temperament Lin Liangdi you also know, and you can't listen to it at all, so I haven't been able to help you, I have always felt quite guilty, and then I wanted to make it clear to you, but I didn't make it."
Lin Sansi smiled faintly, although she knew what was going on in her heart, she didn't want Sun Zhongwei to be unable to come to the stage on her face, after all, she didn't plan to have anything to do with Sun Zhongwei, more things were better than less, not to mention that she also wanted to know the purpose of Sun Zhongwei's coming to the Prince's Mansion today. "Miss Sun is polite, you have this heart, I am very grateful."
Sun Zhongwei saw that Lin Sansi did not suspect it, and her body, which had been tense, was much more relaxed now, and she turned her waist slightly, and said, "I didn't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I entered the mansion today, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the mansion?" β
When Lin Sansi heard this, he looked at Sun Zhongwei strangely, whether it is the prince's mansion or the mansion of ordinary people, the way for female guests to enter the mansion and the way for male guests to enter the mansion are different, and the road directly into the backyard of the female family is completely different from the male guest, avoiding the living room and study and other areas of the male host's activities, so even if His Royal Highness is in the mansion at the moment, it is extremely normal for Sun Zhongwei not to see His Royal Highness, it stands to reason that Sun Zhongwei, as a boudoir lady, should be more familiar with this point, how can she still ask such a question? Could it be that she is coming to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Lin Sansi had doubts in his heart, but his face remained silent, and said: "Your Highness entered the palace early in the morning, and she hasn't returned to the house yet, does Miss Sun have something to find Your Highness?" β
The unnaturalness on Sun Zhongwei's face flashed, thinking to herself how did she come to such an unfortunate situation, she still wanted to meet His Highness unexpectedly! I was inexplicably a little annoyed in my heart, and said: "Lin Liangdi misunderstood, I didn't come to find His Royal Highness the Prince, I came to ask Lin Liangdi for something." β
"Something to ask me?" Lin Sansi was a little confused, not to mention that she stayed in the prince's mansion all day now and didn't go anywhere, even if her father hadn't had an accident before, she Sun Zhongwei wouldn't have begged her to do anything?
"Yes." Sun Zhongwei lowered her head, pinched a pink and white embroidered handkerchief in her hand, put it between her fingers and wrapped it around at will, it seemed that some words were difficult to speak, and said slowly: "You have seen my cousin, and you also know that my cousin is King Ning's person, this time King Ning had an accident, because of my cousin's relationship, we were also implicated, my father was demoted, and he was sent to Qinlan County to be the county commander in a few days." β
Lin Sansi listened, and there was some sympathy in his heart, but sympathy is sympathy, after all, rebellion is a serious crime, and the emperor will definitely not give up lightly, so all those who have something to do with it are involved. Thinking about it, I didn't know how to comfort him, and the emperor spoke, so no one could change it, so he had to say: "Qinlan belongs to the southern region, the temperature is moderate and the scenery and humanities are very good, I believe you will adapt to it soon." β
Sun Zhongwei looked pitiful and sad, she originally expected Lin Sansi to sympathize with her and keep her, but she didn't expect her to persuade her like this, she couldn't help but be angry and aggrieved, and tears flowed out: "But I don't want to go, how can that place be compared with the capital?" Such a remote place, it takes a month and a half to get there by carriage, you can imagine how desolate it is, if you go, you are afraid that you will not be able to get out for the rest of your life. β
Lin Sansi didn't expect that Sun Zhongwei would have such a big reaction to his unintentional words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Sun Zhongwei saw that Lin Sansi didn't answer, so she raised her head and said: "Actually, I came to Lin Liangdi, just hoping that you can say good things for me in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he is now the most favored prince in front of the emperor, and he is the future emperor, as long as he nods, my father and I don't have to go to Qinlan." β
Lin Sansi listened to Sun Zhongwei's words as if he took it for granted, and laughed in his heart at the moment, he didn't expect Sun Zhongwei to beg her for this matter, but how could she have that ability? Didn't Sun Zhongwei know that her father and mother were still in prison? What she can do now is to keep a low profile as much as possible and not to cause trouble for His Highness, and now at this juncture, how can she ask His Highness to do this, His Highness has been staying in the mansion for this time, but she doesn't want to be involved in the rebellion of King Liang and King Ning, if she asks His Highness for help, then she doesn't know how to push His Highness into the fire pit? This is the sin of rebellion, and whoever gets caught in it is unlucky. "The emperor's holy decree, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince help you?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do it." Sun Zhongwei suddenly stopped her tears, and looked at Lin Sansi with bright eyes: "My current situation is the same as Lin Liangdi's when you were at the beginning, you were implicated by your father, so you were sent to Ning Wangfu as a slave, didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion later?" Now you have everything, His Royal Highness the Prince's favor, the name of Liangdi, and the eldest son of the emperor, who outside does not know how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoils you, and these are all things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do, as long as you open your mouth, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely promise you, as long as His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to help me, I can also be a slave and a maid, and enter the Prince's Mansion to serve His Royal Highness the Prince. Sun Zhongwei said this, and her cheeks flushed.
Lin Sansi was stunned, did Sun Zhongwei mean to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take Sun Zhongwei as a concubine?! Although Lin Sansi has lived in this era for many years, and is used to seeing men have three wives and four concubines, even her father has accepted his aunt's wife, but getting used to it does not mean that she agrees, she still hopes for a monogamous life in her bones, but she also knows that no matter how good Huo Yi is to her, as the prince and the future emperor, some things cannot and cannot be avoided.
It's just that no matter how many women Huo Yi will have in the future, she will never persuade Huo Yi to marry another woman.
Sun Zhongwei saw Lin Sansi pondering, thinking that she had been shaken, and hurriedly said: "Lin Liangdi, everyone is a good sister, for the sake of me in the past, I also want to help you, please help me too, you are now a celebrity in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as you speak, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely agree, I don't have to go to Qinlan, I will enter the Prince's Mansion in the future, and I will definitely work with you to serve His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Lin Sansi heard that she was still lying about the matter of Ning Wangfu last time until this time, and he couldn't help but dislike her more and more, but his face was as calm as possible, and his voice was lowered: "Miss Sun, this matter is not within my ability, I can't help you." β
Sun Zhongwei obviously didn't believe that Lin Sansi would reject her so directly, her eyes widened, she straightened up and said, "Can't help or won't help?" It's just a matter of your words. β
Lin Sansi shook his head dejectedly and said: "I'm just a woman, I never interfere with Your Highness's work, and my identity doesn't allow it, I hope Miss Sun will forgive me." β
Speaking of which, Sun Zhongwei also knew that there was no hope, so she immediately got up angrily, pursed her red lips, looked at Lin Sansi hatefully, turned around and left.
When Sun Zhongwei went out, she happened to meet Lily coming in, Sun Zhongwei had nowhere to vent her belly, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and walked over to Lily, she walked fast, Lily lowered her head again, didn't see Sun Zhongwei, the two almost collided, fortunately, she quickly stood aside, Rao was so, but Sun Zhongwei did not forgive.
Sun Zhongwei stretched a face, and scolded with a slashing face: "What's the matter with you? I wanted to burn Miss Ben to death just now, and now I want to kill Miss Ben? β
Lily was scolded inexplicably, I wanted to explain, but when I thought of Fu Ling's advice just now, I had to hang my head silently and be scolded, although Miss has the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, but there are many people who covet Miss's position, she can't make trouble for Miss, but it's just a couple of scoldings, endure it and pass.
Sun Zhongwei scolded a few words in a row, and when she saw that Baiyi didn't say anything, she also felt bored, and was about to leave, when Lin Sansi heard the sound and rushed over.
"What's going on?"
Sun Zhongwei snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Sansi and said, "It's okay if Lin Liangdi can't help others, can't he take care of his own subordinates?" When I saw Miss Ben come out, didn't I know how to avoid it? β
Although Lin Sansi knew that Lily was immature, he also knew that she would not collide with Sun Zhongwei for no reason, so he slowed down his voice and said gently: "What's the matter?" β
Lily didn't defend herself for the first time, and said: "It's the slave maid who is wrong, the slave maid didn't see Miss Sun, and almost bumped into Miss Sun, and the slave apologize to Miss Sun." As he spoke, he walked up to Sun Zhongwei again and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Sun, it's the slave who has no eyes and doesn't see you going out, which scared you." β
"That's it? You bumped into Miss Ben, so light? Sun Zhongwei hung her long phoenix eyes obliquely, looked at Lin Sansi, and sneered: "That's how Lin Liangdi disciplines his subordinates? If it were my maid, she should be punished with fifty rods. β
When Lily heard the fifty boards, her thin body couldn't help but tremble.
Lin Sansi didn't know what was going on, and when he heard what Lily said just now, he also walked over and said, "If Lily collides with Miss Sun, I can't discipline her, and I should really apologize to Miss Sun." β
Sun Zhongwei was listening comfortably, and suddenly heard Lin Sansi say again: "As for how to punish, that's my business, so I won't bother Miss Sun, Miss Sun will walk slowly." Lin Sansi didn't care about Sun Zhongwei's angry expression at all, and didn't give her a chance to continue talking, and raised his head to the housekeeper standing in the distance: "Butler, send Miss Sun for me." β
Sun Zhongwei wanted to make a big fuss and make Lin Sansi lose face with the help of Lily, but she didn't expect to be ordered to be evicted by Lin Sansi, and she trembled with anger at the moment, but she was forced to be in the prince's mansion, so she had to reluctantly follow the housekeeper out.
Fu Ling, who had been standing around the corner, saw that Lily did not defend herself from beginning to end, even when she heard that she was beating her fifty boards, she just bit her lip and kept silent, Fu Ling felt distressed and relieved, it seems that Lily really listened to what she said this time, so she swallowed her anger so much.
Although I feel sorry for Lily, Fu Ling doesn't plan to tell the truth, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Lily, although Miss has the protection of His Royal Highness the Prince, but she can't protect those who are secretly framed, especially the two who are about to enter the mansion, one is the famous daughter of the prime minister, and the other is the famous Jiangmen Tiger Girl, if you don't press Lily's temperament now, I don't know how much trouble it will cause to Miss in the future.
