Chapter 52: A Blessing in Disguise
When Dong Xiaoyou woke up from her slumber, she found that Biluo had red and swollen eyes, and looked at her quietly in front of the couch: "Miss, are you awake?" β
"Hmm......" she frowned, feeling that all her strength had been drained, and she lay softly, "... I haven't been sold by them yet? β
Biluo gently stroked her forehead: "Great, the fever has finally subsided...... finally breathed a sigh of relief, Biluo smiled slightly: "Miss, you have been asleep for a day and a night, but you frightened us." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"I'm fainting..."Dong Xiaoyou looked at Biluo with blank eyes: "Sister Biluo, you ...... You've always been by my side, right? β
"Miss, that's what a slave should be." Biluo happily looked at Dong Xiaoyou, who had come to his senses.
"Look at you...... My eyes are swollen, how can I not take care of myself so much? Dong Xiao said softly, Biluo's loyalty to her greatly touched her, and sure enough, it was worth it for her to beg Wang Xuan to let Biluo go.
"Out of the way, miss. When you wake up, the slave is relieved. Biluo rubbed her eyes with her hands, her eyes were full of red bloodshots, which had been staying by Dong Xiaoyou's couch for a day and a night.
ββ¦β¦ Go and rest, I don't care. Dong Xiaoyou said, his nose was a little sore, and he wanted to cry. They...... Where are you going to sell me? β
Biluo shook her head: "Miss, they won't sell you, just let the slave maid always guard you, the slave maid has been trained since childhood, this is nothing." β
"Don't sell me......?" Dong Xiaoyou struggled to sit up, but her whole body was weak, Biluo hurriedly got up and helped her, leaning on the edge of the couch and half-lying, "Okay, Sister Biluo, you go and rest......"
Biluo still looked at Dong Xiaoyou uneasily, the kind of questioning without a trace of spirit after the young lady woke up, like a person who had completely lost hope, made her very uneasy.
At this time, Ginkgo and a girl dressed as a maid walked in, and Ginkgo said to Biluo: "Sister Biluo, you better go down and rest for a while, plus the day and night that Miss was in a coma, you haven't closed your eyes for two days." β
The girl approached Dong Xiaoyou, saluted her, and said respectfully: "The slave maid is a hundred spirits, and it was the princess of Wannian who asked the slave maid to take care of Miss Rong." β
Dong Xiaoyou looked at her in confusion, and wondered in her heart: Why did the princess's maid appear here, and she said that she was here to take care of herself? Besides, the princess's people should also follow the princess and call themselves "Aunt Xu", right? Why did this person call himself "Miss Rong", a title that no one had ever called before? What happened during the time I was asleep? She looked carefully at the maid named Bailing in front of her: she was wearing a plain white embroidered skirt, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was quite ordinary, but because she was in her prime, she also looked very delicate. But she found out: this person is the palace maid who slapped herself when she went to see the princess for the first time that day! Suddenly, there was even some panic in my heart.
That Bailing is also a smart and clever maid, at a glance she saw the doubts and panic in Dong Xiaoyou's heart, she smiled, and said in a very soft tone: "Miss Rong don't have to be too careful, the slave maid was originally the maid of the princess of Wannian, but since yesterday, the princess of Wannian has given you the slave and maid reward, from now on, Miss Rong has any orders, just tell the slave maid." β
Biluo said softly in Dong Xiaoyou's ear: "Miss, the Wang family has promised to give you to that Lord Yizhen, he is a member of the royal family, or the king of Luling who was personally appointed by the Son of Heaven, yesterday the lord has already informed the people of the whole house, and you will be Miss Rong, the noble guest of the Wang family, and you will no longer be the concubine of Young Master Wang." β
Dong Xiaoyou listened, and his heart was a little gloomy: I see, no wonder the princess will give her maid, it turns out that she was still given to others as an "item", that Yizhen is really a relative of the emperor, although I have never heard of the name of King Luling in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but it seems that it must be a noble. Alas...... The fate of being sent here and there still haunts her. So when did that Yizhen get tired of herself and give her to someone else, right? No, she must escape, she must control her own destiny!
Seeing that Dong Xiaoyou's eyes gradually became sharper, that Bailing actually knelt down immediately, and smiled calmly at Dong Xiaoyou: "Miss Rong, it was the slave who beat you that day, although it was the princess's order, but the slave is a slave, Miss is the master, the slave beats the master, it is the slave's fault, and today the slave confesses to the miss." After speaking, Bai Ling began to slap his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, two slaps hit her own face, and immediately her face turned red, Dong Xiaoyou looked at her in surprise: This person is really worthy of being a maid from the palace, and he can be so cruel to himself!
Biluo and Ginkgo also looked at her with a look of surprise, but Bai Ling had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his face was very calm, and his two hands continued to beat his face without hesitation at all.
"Stop! Don't fight anymore......" Dong Xiaoyou gasped and hurriedly stopped her, "That day, you were still the princess's maid, you ...... I just do what I am told, how can I blame you? "To be honest, it's impossible for Dong Xiaoyou not to hate the person who beat her, but the maids always just follow the orders of their masters, if they don't do it, then the masters will definitely use more cruel means to punish them, which was the case in ancient times. And the maid in front of him who had beaten herself not only immediately admitted what she had done, but did not hide it at all; At the same time, she also took the initiative to beat herself to vent her anger to Dong Xiaoyou, which made Dong Xiaoyou secretly admire, she couldn't do this by herself anyway. Therefore, she does not resent Bailing beating her in her heart now, but has some good feelings for her: of course, Dong Xiaoyou naturally knows that Bailing, like Ginkgo, is just an "eyeliner" placed by her side. However, it doesn't matter, anyway, she has nothing to do with Wang Xuan, and from now on, there will be no more hostile relationship with the princess for favor, that is the best.
Bai Ling stopped, Dong Xiaoyou saw that her faces on both sides were already red and swollen, and hurriedly asked her to get up, and said to Ginkgo again: "I still have some flower cream in my room, put it on Sister Bailing." "Ginkgo biloba answered, and then went down to get the medicine.
Dong Xiaoyou ordered Bi Luo to rest again: "There are Sister Bailing and Ginkgo here, you can hurry up and take a rest." Biluo thought about it and felt that no one would hurt Miss anymore for the time being, so she finally let go and went down to rest.
After Bi fell, Dong Xiao looked at Bailing blankly and asked, "Since the Wang family gave me to that Yizhen prince, when will I leave the palace?" "She doesn't have any attachment to this place, I should say more unhappy memories.
Bai Ling replied: "The slave maid heard that this time the King of Luling will go back to the Central Plains first, and he will not be ready to pick up Miss Rong until he comes next time, so Miss Rong will live in the palace for more than half a year." β
"That's ......" Dong Xiaoyou's chest felt very stuffy, if Wang Xuan's madness hadn't happened that night, she still thought that she could protect herself in the palace until the day she found a way to escape. But after that night, she already had some shadows, even when her brother Xuan, who had been able to tolerate her for more than three months, broke out, let alone the prince with a prominent identity? If she is picked up by Yizhen, then she may really not be able to save her body, she wants to escape. She is a false alarm this time, but she doesn't dare to guarantee whether she will be able to escape death next time, if Yizhen also has the same temper as the princess, then she just has a few lives that are not enough, it is better to let the family give her a good time.
Bai Ling saw the uneasiness in her eyes and comforted her: "Lord Yizhen, the king of Luling, is gentle and elegant, and he is a gentleman who is clean and self-conscious. At the beginning, the woman in the capital who liked him was carrying, and he had never been entangled with any woman, so Miss Rong could rest assured. If you don't like him, he won't try to embarrass you. β
As soon as she said this, Dong Xiaoyou relaxed a little in her heart, and said curiously: "Since he is the king of Luling in the imperial court, why does he let everyone call him Yizhen?" His surname is Liu, right? β
Bai Ling nodded: "Yes, my lord's original name was Liu Yi, it is really said that he is a real person, he suddenly specialized in immortal cultivation a few years ago, and often regarded himself as a real person." β
"I see...... Yi really means Yi Zhenren, right? Then he must not be close to women. Dong Xiaoyou smiled easily.
Bai Ling replied: "That's not true, although he claims to be a real person, he can also marry a wife and take a concubine." β
"Huh? That can also be called a real person......" Dong Xiaoyou glanced at the air.
Bai Ling smiled: "It's just that he claims to be himself, I heard that he really knows a few immortals who are cultivators, although we palace maids have never seen them." β
"Self-proclaimed ......" Dong Xiaoyou pursed his lips, thinking: What kind of "real person", pretending to be a mystery, it is clearly a "dummy". Then she thought about it carefully, and remembered that after she was locked up in the firewood room, it seemed that Wang Xuan was the first to come in to find her, and she seemed to be hugged by Wang Xuan...... After that, she fainted and lost consciousness, so how could she be given to the prince by the people of the Wang family?
"Sister Bailing, you ...... Honestly, tell me something, okay? Dong Xiaoyou looked at Bai Ling and asked.
"Although Miss Rong said it bluntly, the slave didn't dare to hide anything."
"I ...... Did the Wang family really promise to give me to that prince? Brother Xuan...... Young Master, he also agreed? Dong Xiaoyou asked cautiously, Bai Ling has always been the person sent by the princess, she has to express curiosity, but also can't let Bai Ling feel that she is reluctant to Wang Xuan, so she can no longer be called "Brother Xuan" such an affectionate title.
"The lord and the lady responded on the spot, the young master lost his temper and made a fuss, and then was locked up by the lord for a day in the firewood room, I heard that in the end I agreed, and this morning I went to the princess and Lord Yizhen to admit his mistake, and the princess also forgave him, and said that she would compensate him for another concubine." Bailing told Dong Xiaoyou about these fifteen-ten.
Dong Xiaoyou listened calmly, thinking: No matter how domineering the Wang family is, there is still no way to compete with the royal family, as for this Wang Xuan...... Sure enough, he was really an ordinary womanizer, not only lustful, but also daring, the princess said that she wanted to find him another concubine, and he agreed, alas, this man, too, it seems that it is a good thing to leave him. She was already extremely disgusted with Wang Xuan at this time, and she was very glad that she was not committed to him, Dong Xiaoyou sneered in her heart.
Dong Xiaoyu smiled and said, "That's ...... From now on, I will no longer be able to let them beat and scold me in this royal palace? β
Bai Ling saw that she did not show any signs of sadness, but was a little happy, and knew that this Miss Rong did not seem to be happy with Young Master Wang in her heart, so that she would also benefit, at least there would be no conflict with the princess, and the princess was originally most afraid that Miss Rong would pester the young master. She also smiled at Dong Xiaoyou and said: "Miss Rong, you will be the distinguished guest of this Wang family in the future, even the princess is entrusted by the prince, and she wants to take care of you, naturally no one dares to beat and scold you, otherwise, it will be against the prince, it depends on how many heads they dare to provoke you." β
Dong Xiaoyou was a little happy when he heard this, but his face immediately darkened again: "But...... If Lord Yizhen hates me and wants to punish me......"
Bai Ling hurriedly replied: "Miss Rong can rest assured, the slave maid has been in the palace for so many years, and I heard that Lord Yizhen has never beaten and scolded his subordinates, not to mention that he likes Miss you so much, so you don't have to worry." β
"Oh...... Then I trust Sister Bailing's auspicious words. β
"Slaves don't dare."
All in all, Dong Xiaoyou still understands in her heart: she is really a blessing in disguise this time, although I don't know if Bailing can praise that Yizhen, but Yizhen has appeared several times, and she has not harmed herself, and now she has saved her life from the princess and Wang Xuan, and in the future, she will stay in this palace as a VIP for more than half a year, and she even has some complacency.
At this time, Yizhen originally planned to visit Xu Rong in Yixiang Garden, but two guests came to look for him......
