Jiang Ling followed the little eunuch who led the way for a while, and suddenly a noise came from the left direction.

The little eunuch sighed in front of him: "What is the eldest prince doing again?" ”

Jiang Ling turned his head curiously, and saw Zhou Chengru, the eldest prince in a purple brocade robe, dancing with his hands and feet, his face excited, and he didn't know what to think in his mouth, followed by an anxious maid.

That maid looks quite familiar, it is the Xuanyue girl in Yangzhou.

The little eunuch saw Jiang Ling's footsteps slowing down and reminded her: "Miss Jiang, let's go quickly, if there is a delay in sending you back to the house, I am afraid that the queen will blame you." ”

Jiang Ling sighed: "Isn't that His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" Shall we not salute? ”

The little eunuch said, "Miss Jiang knows His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" That's right, he went to Yangzhou with two other princes last year, and you must have seen it. He paused, "What does the eldest prince look like, you probably know, let's leave quickly, so as not to get involved with him and delay your trip back to the house." ”

Jiang Ling was a little surprised, a little eunuch's attitude towards the eldest prince was like this, but she was not a royal person, and it was not easy to make judgments. He only smiled.

was going to follow him on, but unexpectedly he was discovered by Zhou Chengru over there.

She hurriedly pointed to this side, pulling Xuan Yue behind her and babbling and screaming.

Seeing this, the little eunuch had to stop: "Miss Jiang, Your Highness seems to be calling you." ”

While speaking, Zhou Chengru had already pulled Xuan Yue and ran over, standing in front of Jiang Ling, with a strange excitement on his handsome face.

The little eunuch hurriedly saluted: "The small one is see His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

Jiang Ling also bent his knees: "Jiang Ling has seen His Highness. ”

Zhou Chengru's face flushed excitedly, but he couldn't speak, and finally took Xuan Yue's hand behind him and asked her for help.

Xuan Yue had only met Jiang Ling twice, once on the lake at night, after more than half a year, although she was a little familiar, she didn't recognize her. looked at Zhou Chengru blankly: "Your Highness, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhou Chengru couldn't remember Jiang Ling's surname, so he held back for a long time, and finally held back a few words: "Worry...... Worrying ......"

The little eunuch asked inexplicably: "Your Highness, what do you say happened to the third prince?" ”

Zhou Chengru pointed at Jiang Ling and stammered: "Worried...... The sorrowful princess. ”

The little eunuch looked stunned: "Big prince, what did you say?" ”

Jiang Ling was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I am Jiang Ling of the Jiang family, the cousin of the prince, don't you remember?" ”

Zhou Chengru nodded vigorously when he thought about it: "Ling'er...... Ling'er ......"

Xuan Yue's face changed slightly, guessed Jiang Ling's identity, glanced at the confused little eunuch, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, are you going to find him in the palace of His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" ”

Zhou Chengru nodded: "Yes, go find worry." I heard from them that he had returned from the barracks. ”

The little eunuch seemed to suddenly realize what he had just said, and whispered in Jiang Ling's ear: "I was startled just now, and I thought that the eldest prince was talking about the princess, but it turned out that he was talking about the third prince's palace." The three princes are not yet eighteen, and they have not yet opened their mansions, and where can the palace where they live in the palace be called the palace, only the eldest prince will talk nonsense. ”

Jiang Ling smiled dryly.

Xuan Yue smiled again and pulled Zhou Chengru: "Then let's go quickly, hurry up and meet His Royal Highness the Third Prince earlier." ”

Jiang Ling heard her say this, and was about to say goodbye, but Zhou Chengru grabbed her wrist: "Go, Ling'er, let's go to find sorrow." ”

The little eunuch pretended to be frightened: "Your Highness, I am ordered by the queen to send Miss Jiang back to the house, but I can't delay." Miss Jiang, she is not from the palace, and it is unruly to walk around at will. ”

Xuan Yue also said: "Yes, Your Highness, let's go quickly, don't get in the way of Miss Jiang and her father-in-law." ”

Zhou Chengru pouted, reluctantly let go of his hand, and muttered, "The sorrow is back, and Ling'er is also here." ”

Jiang Ling was afraid that he would say something inappropriate, so he let the little eunuch of the queen beside him listen, and said busily: "The eldest prince, then Ling Er will leave first." ”

After that, he left in a hurry with the little eunuch.

After walking a little farther, the little eunuch sighed and said, "Miss Jiang, the eldest prince is an idiot, and it is inevitable that he will talk some nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Jiang Ling chuckled, pretending to be confused and said, "Did the eldest prince just say something nonsense?" ”

The little eunuch smiled: "That's not true." ”

When the carriage came out of the palace gate, the guard who drove the car smiled at the little eunuch: "Grandpa Wu, the matter of sending Miss Jiang back to the house, just go to the next one, and you won't have to work hard to travel." ”

The little eunuch said: "How can this be done, the queen told me to send Miss Jiang to the mansion, if I don't escort it personally, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty." ”

The guard smiled, quietly stuffed a piece of broken silver into the little eunuch's hand, and whispered: "Actually, I want to take advantage of some private matters to do after sending Miss Jiang by the way, and I also bother my father-in-law to be accommodating." Don't worry, I will send Miss Jiang back to the house first. ”

The little eunuch grabbed the money and smiled at Jiang Ling a little embarrassedly: "Miss Jiang, look ......"

Jiang Ling said with a smile: "It's convenient for others and yourself, just let this little brother send me back to the house, father-in-law, you are busy." The next time I enter the palace, I will come by the family's carriage so as not to trouble the palace. ”

The little eunuch smiled: "Miss Jiang is so reasonable, the little one is not very grateful, no wonder the queen always boasts about what a good niece she has, and she really deserves her reputation when she sees it today." ”

Jiang Ling smiled and shook his head: "My father-in-law has won the award, see you in the future." ”

She got into the carriage, pulled down the curtain, lifted the small curtain on the window, looked out at the silver in her hand, smiled sleekly and sophisticated little eunuch, pursed her lips and laughed.

When Jiang Fu first returned to the capital, he bought a house and bought a house, which was not very close to the palace, and it took about half an hour by carriage. On the way, you have to cross the busiest main street, and the horse-drawn carriage has to move slowly.

Just walking, the car slowly stopped.

Jiang Ling was strange, lifted the curtain and asked the palace guard who was driving the car: "Little brother, why did you stop?" ”

The guard jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain, and said respectfully, "The little one obeys the order to send Miss Jiang here." ”

Jiang Ling frowned and was confused, and poked his head out to look at the still unfamiliar street: "But the Jiang Mansion is not here." ”

The guard continued, "The little one just does what he is told. ”

Jiang Ling's brows furrowed even deeper, seeing that he had no malicious intent, and it seemed that he was really just doing what he was told. She glanced out again, and her eyes fell on a gold signboard two or three feet away in front of her: Yunwei Tea House.

She was stunned, understood something, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Then thank you, little brother." ”

She got out of the car slowly, gave the guard a little more silver, and waited for him to drive away before walking to the tea shop that was opening its doors for business.

The old shopkeeper in the shop was holding an abacus to settle accounts, and a few guys were busy transporting goods in and out.

Jiang Ling knocked on the counter table: "May I ask if there is a Zhou Gongzi here?" ”

The old shopkeeper looked up at her and stroked his beard: "There is a Zhou Gongzi here, I don't know who the girl is?" ”

Jiang Ling smiled: "My surname is Jiang, just tell Zhou Gongzi, he will know." ”

The old shopkeeper smiled: "The surname Jiang doesn't need to be relayed, our Zhou Gongzi will let you go up directly." ”

Jiang Ling was relieved, thanked the old shopkeeper politely, and walked towards the stairs.

This tea house is almost the same as the one in Yangzhou, and the sound of stepping on the wooden stairs is the same as that of Yangzhou. Jiang Ling remembered the scene that day in Yangzhou, Zhou Chengzhi suddenly appeared, the white clothes were fluttering, handsome and extraordinary, so that her, a woman who had lived for two lifetimes, had to be a little moved.

There was no one upstairs, the door of the central room was lightly closed, Jiang Ling tiptoed, and did not make a single movement.

Zhou Cheng knew that the guy was playing tricks, and she deliberately wanted to scare him, which was fair.

She gently pushed the door open, and as last time, there was no movement inside. Jiang Ling looked inside, and saw that there was a couch against the wall in the center of the room, and Zhou Chengzhi was lying lazily on his side. His body was still wearing the same silver armor as it was today, his eyes were closed, his head was supported with one hand, his breathing was even, and he looked like he was asleep.

Jiang Ling was stunned, Ben took a breath and planned to scare him, but after thinking about it, he exhaled softly. Gently walked into the door, step by step carefully to the couch.

Zhou Chengzhi was probably sleeping deeply, without the slightest movement.

Jiang Ling slowly squatted down in front of him, pursed his lips and looked at him with a smile.

The sixteen-year-old boy already faintly has the edges and corners of a man, and he is a little more heroic than the somewhat androgynous beauty before. It's just that there is a faint tiredness in the eyebrows, and the eyebrows are slightly twisted, I don't know if it's because of tiredness or because of sadness.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but reach out and touch his brow, wanting to wipe away his frowning brow.

Just as soon as his hand touched his forehead, the eyes under his eyebrows suddenly opened, and the dark eyes, with a playful smile, the corners of his mouth curled, and he grabbed her wrist violently and pulled her onto the bed.
