"The princess beware of the ...... under her feet" Mother Tian seemed to see that Lin Ling was uncomfortable, and said with a smile, "If the ghost leaves the lord a few days ago to inform the old princess that she is going to come to Zhuangzi to live for a few days, the old body must be cleaned well, but it has been really busy recently, please don't blame the princess, the old body will definitely do her best to make the princess live here comfortably......"

Lin Ling smiled and said, "Mother Tian, don't be so troublesome, I won't stay for a long time, take me to the place where I live first." ”

"Good!" Mother Tian nodded, and led Lin Ling to the east, and Ghost Li and Caixia followed inch by inch, "Princess, this is it, it must not be as comfortable as the palace, and there are not many people waiting, and please Princess Duoduo Haihan, the old body will order the kitchen to make some food for the princess......"

"Don't be busy." Lin Ling waved his hand, didn't bother to look at the poorly furnished house, and said lightly, "We have already eaten, Mother Tian, let a few concubines from the Zhuangzi more than a month ago come to see me." ”

Mother Tian couldn't help but look at Caixia, as if she was pondering what Lin Ling meant.

Lin Ling was not in a good mood, and when he saw Tian's mother's ghostly head, he said impatiently: "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

"I wonder why the princess summoned them?" Tian's mother pondered the words, "They are now working in the field a mile away, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while, why don't you let them come to see the princess tomorrow?" ”

"Work? What do you do? Lin Ling frowned, took a sip of the tea brought by the subordinate at hand, and his brows furrowed even tighter. She has never been particular about tea, and she doesn't recognize what is the best and most expensive tea, but in the palace for so many days, she eats very good, and suddenly drank such a mouthful of shoddy and astringent tea, and almost spit it out, this is better than drinking water...... O man, if you have enjoyed the blessings, you will no longer be able to suffer.

"It's to loosen the ......soil for the earth," Tian's mother replied with little confidence, wasn't the princess here to make them suffer when she sent these concubines to Zhuangzi? Why is it so concerned now? Tian's mother paused and said, "They are quite honest here, and they have never caused trouble." ”

"Then let them come over early tomorrow morning." Lin Ling said tiredly, waved his hand and sent Mother Tian away, and walked towards the back room. There was only one bed and dresser in the room, and the bedding on the bed was new, but it was rough to the touch, and there was not even a veil on the side of the bed. The bronze mirror on one side of the dresser was rusty, and it was difficult to see the human figure. Lin Ling was so tired that he didn't want to care about anything, so he just lay on the bed.

"Oh, Princess, you wait a minute." Caixia ran over to help Lin Ling in three steps and two steps, reached out and touched the futon, and said disgustedly, "Although it looks new, I'm afraid it's also used by people." The slave went to the carriage and brought the silk quilt in...... "The things in the carriage were carefully prepared by Long Yuze, and they must be of the highest quality."

After a while, Caixia walked in with several quilts in her arms, carefully laying them for Lin Ling, Lin Ling sighed and said, "The house I gave me is so shabby, how can your house still be inhabited?" I don't need so many quilts, you can keep a bed for yourself. ”

"Princess, how can a slave pay attention to this?" Caixia said with a smile, stretching out her hand to spread the sheet, "It's okay now, the princess hurry up and rest, the slave and maid are waiting outside." ”

Lin Ling didn't force it, he fell on the soft bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Outside the house, Caixia tore off half of the weeds in the yard, and brought a basin of water to wipe the door frames, tables and chairs. Oni Li has been standing at the door with a protective posture, quietly watching Caixia get busy. The twilight was deep, and the manor was silent, with the occasional insect song and bird chirping.

"Lord Ghost, when do you think the princess will return to the palace?" Caixia asked softly, she held back for a long time, and in this dark night, she finally couldn't help but ask. Originally, it was okay to accompany the princess to an unknown place, but now that the princess has returned, she passed the house and did not enter, which is too much to say.

Ghost Li's face sank: "This matter is not something that you can know as a girl." ”

"Do you want to stay in this manor for a long time?" Caixia couldn't help but say, "I don't know why the princess wants to come to this textile manor?" There are dozens of manors under the name of the palace, all of them are rich and oily, but this textile manor cannot make ends meet every year. Before, the princess sent a few concubines here, just as the princess punished them, but now that I think about it, maybe the princess doesn't know about it at all......"

"Caixia, the princess's actions are not something you can discuss!" The ghost is gone.

Caixia pursed her lips and didn't speak again, this ghost is cold to the princess, let alone a girl to herself. I already knew that I couldn't ask anything, but I still couldn't help but ask, what is the matter of a serious princess living outside? Caixia bent down to pick up the basin, splashed water, walked into the back room, and fell asleep under Lin Ling's collapse.

On the second day, before dawn, Caixia heard a faint noise.

She glanced at Lin Ling, who was still asleep, and after washing lightly, she pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the courtyard was a group of chirping women, whom Caixia recognized, who were the concubines in the palace who were sent here.

“…… Since the princess has sent you here, she will not let you go back easily! Caixia approached, only heard the last sentence, walked over and grabbed Tian's mother's hand, frowned, and said, "What are you arguing about here early in the morning?" ”

"Miss Caixia, you also know that it was early in the morning, and this Tian's mother let us work in the field early in the morning, how can there be such a reason!" A woman shouted indignantly, "The princess finally came to Zhuangzi, as the concubines of the palace, we all want to see Faye Wong and say goodbye!" ”

Caixia looked at the woman who spoke, dressed in gray clothes, wide and shabby, her hair was pulled up high, without any hairpin rings, she looked worse than the lowest girl ring in the palace, and when the word "concubine" came out of her mouth, it was really a little funny. But Caixia couldn't laugh, this is indeed a concubine in the palace, but the princess is coming here on a whim now, and she doesn't know what other plans she has, if these women return to the palace under the princess's will, it is not something she can handle at will.

"A few days ago, the princess was still resting, so you can wait for the time being." Caixia said lightly, "Mother Tian, I don't know when the princess will wake up, let them rest for half a day today." ”

"Nature, nature." Mother Tian nodded, and she couldn't guess Lin Ling's mind more and more.

Although seven or eight concubines didn't have to work in the field, Tian's mother still had to go to the field as soon as possible to have a look, and she soon left. Caixia led a few people into the courtyard, only to find that the house was extremely simple, and there were no decent chairs.

"Miss Caixia, we've been here for more than a month, and we've long been used to it." A woman smiled bitterly, "You are a powerful person next to the princess and a confidant of the princess, can you please say some good things for our sisters in front of the princess?" It's not a human life...... As long as the princess is willing to let us go, we are willing to do whatever we want......"

"We know that the princess can't tolerate our concubines, but here for more than a month, we have also suffered, we go out to work before dawn every day, lunch is a nest, dinner is often not enough......" A woman cried and said, "Miss Caixia, where do you think we still have to be the princess's concubine that day?" As long as the princess is willing to take us out of here, we will be loyal to the princess......"

"yes, yes......" the group nodded in agreement.

Caixia didn't speak silently, in fact, she sympathized with these women from the bottom of her heart. Most of them had never been in bed, and even if some did, they had never been pampered and tortured in this way. Although the princess's intention was not to torture them, they were all sent here, and the people in Zhuangzi would only torture these women desperately in order to please the princess. And now Concubine Chen and the other three concubines in the palace, the most tricky thing is that the princess has not had time to deal with.

"Now that you've figured it out, then I won't embarrass you." A lazy and hoarse voice came from the side of the main house, and everyone looked over, only to see Lin Ling walking this way while wearing his coat, with a sleepy face, "When I return to the palace, I will find a good way out for you." Caixia, you go and tell Mother Tian and ask her not to embarrass them anymore, although this textile manor is in a recession, I will send someone to allocate some silver in the next few days, so that she can rest assured! ”

Lin Ling yawned and finished saying these words, and returned to the house to continue to sleep with his head covered.

She sent these concubines to this Zhuangzi, with the intention of angering Long Yuze, but Long Yuze had no opinion at all, and she was too lazy to take them back to the palace. She didn't expect this textile manor to be so shabby, because the annual harvest was small, and the palace didn't pay much attention to it, but it was getting worse and worse year by year. Last night, Tian's mother was very attentive to her, in addition to the fact that she was a princess, she must have something to ask for, and she knew that this was the case after thinking about it a little.

Seeing Lin Lingfu returning to the room, the concubines looked at Caixia in disbelief: "Princess...... So agreed? ”

"Don't worry, since the princess said it, she will definitely do it." Caixia said with a smile, unable to guess Lin Ling's plan in her heart.

"Thank you, Miss Caixia." They all sincerely thanked them, when they were in the palace, they didn't see the prince a few times, and they thought that they would die in the palace back house, and more miserably, they died in the house fight. After coming here and suffering for more than a month, they have all seen it, as long as they live a comfortable life, it will be fine.

"By the way, do you know if anything has happened in the capital palace recently?" Caixia suddenly thought of the weirdness of the ghost and spoke.

A woman shook her head: "We don't know about this, we work in the field every day, and we don't know anything else." If Miss Caixia wants to know, you might as well ask Daddy Li, who goes to the capital every day to procure. ”

Caixia nodded, let the concubines disperse, glanced at the ghost who was standing at the door with a cold face, turned her head and walked towards the front of the courtyard. No matter what, she has to figure out what happened, she is the eldest girl by the princess's side, these days with the princess also feel the princess's approachability, she really wants to serve the princess well, but the princess has always been wary of her, just like guarding against ghosts, but it is not obvious, but only trusts Ashin one, which is a sadness of a close-fitting maid.

When Caixia walked to the door, she saw Daddy Li walking into the house with a big winter melon, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "Daddy Li, I have something I want to ask you for advice......

Lin Ling reluctantly turned over again, obviously still wanting to sleep, but he couldn't sleep at all. She yawned, put on her clothes, and walked out, feeling uncomfortable when she saw the ghost standing in the doorway like a piece of wood. No matter why Long Yuze let her live in this manor, she admitted it, and she would take her back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I just hope that everything is fine with him.

The battle for the throne has always been full of dangers, and she chose to return to the capital, that is, she was willing to fight side by side with him, but he let her live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. If she rushes back home and breaks the plan, it will only be worth the loss.

Lin Ling sighed, saw Caixia walk into the courtyard, and said, "Get a little hot water and come in, I'll wash up." ”

Caixia nodded in a panic, folded out and fetched water and came back, and after waiting for Lin Ling to finish washing, she stood aside anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ling glanced at her, "What the hell are you doing today?" ”

"Princess, slave maid...... I don't know ......" Caixia stammered, lowered her head and raised her eyes to look at Lin Ling cautiously, "There is one thing about the slave, I don't know if I should talk about it or not......"

Lin Ling was most annoyed by this, and waved his hand: "Say it directly!" Don't grind! ”

"Yes." Caixia clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, bit her lip, made up her mind, and said, "The slave maid just heard some words from the mouth of Daddy Li, who was in charge of procurement in Zhuangzi...... Said it was the prince...... The prince married another side and side concubine......"

"I didn't hear clearly, don't stutter!" Lin Ling glared at Caixia and roared.

Caixia shrunk her neck by Lin Ling's roar, closed her eyes and said, "Daddy Li said that the prince married a side concubine again!" ”

"Caixia!" Ghost Li stood at the door and heard the movement, and rushed in, wanting to cover Caixia's mouth, but found that it was too late, so he could only look at Lin Ling with a cold face, and his heart was tight. is also thinking about countermeasures, if the princess starts a madness, what should he do, don't let the princess run back impulsively!

Lin Ling didn't believe Caixia's inexplicable words, but when he saw the nervousness and uneasiness on his face, he suddenly sneered lowly.

It turned out that she was asked to come to this Zhuangzi just because she was afraid that she would disturb him and enjoy the blessings of all people.

"Princess, things are not what you think......" The ghost couldn't see Lin Ling's sneer, and opened his mouth to defend, "The prince also had to marry another woman as a side concubine for the princess, and the princess is to protect the princess......"

"Really?" Lin Ling raised his hand, looked at the white but somewhat dry fingers, and said lightly, "That's very good, as the concubine of the Qing Palace, I really have to go and congratulate the prince in person." Caixia, pack my things and set off back to the capital immediately! ”

Is it okay for her good to marry another woman against her wishes?

If it was really for her sake, then she would rather stand side by side with him in weal and woe!

Oh no...... Lin Ling curled the corners of his mouth, his mouth was full of bitterness, he was not protecting this woman called Lin Ling, he was protecting a goddess with an aura! If she is taken away or killed, then he really loses more than he gains.

"Princess, never!" The ghost left Lin Ling's way, "The prince will come to Zhuangzi in a few days, and please don't be impatient!" ”

"Get out of here!" Lin Ling angrily threw a ghostly face with one hand, "What does this princess want you to do?" ”

The resentment in his chest swelled violently, Lin Ling couldn't control it, and his right hand kept trembling. She pressed her chest and breathed heavily...... Yes, it wasn't long ago that she made up her mind, but she was like this, right?

It's true that she likes Long Yuze, but Long Yuze may not like her, in ancient times, it was normal for three wives and four concubines to be true.

"Princess, please forgive your subordinates for offending!" That slap didn't have any effect on Ghost Li, he still had a cold face, knelt on one knee on the ground, bowed his head and said, "If the princess insists on returning to Beijing, then step on the corpses of her subordinates!" ”

Caixia was frightened, gritted her teeth and secretly wondered if she had said the wrong thing.

"Do you think I don't dare?" Lin Ling roared angrily and kicked into the ghost's heart.

If Long Yuze doesn't like her, then she can accept it like a piece of wood in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival. But what if Long Yuze likes her? If he happens to like her, then she will not allow him to marry another woman for her safety! One Chen Huiniang is enough, no more!

"Princess!" The ghost called coldly, straightened up unrelentingly, and knelt in front of Lin Ling.

"Ghost Li, I'm a goddess, the reason why your prince is so nervous about me is just because I'm a goddess!" Lin Ling patted the ghostly face and said coldly, "The prince doesn't dare to do anything to me, you dare to threaten me here?" I'm telling you, if you say one more nonsense, then I can cut my wrist...... You said that at that time, what face do you have to meet your prince? ”

Caixia squinted her eyes in confusion on the side, she couldn't understand the princess's words, but she also knew that it was an extremely important secret.

The ghost's condensed face finally loosened a little: "Does the princess have to go back to Beijing?" ”

"Nature." Lin Ling nodded and stood up straight, his eyes full of coldness.

"Then let the subordinates escort the princess back to Beijing!" The ghost hugged his fist, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, but there was clearly some helplessness that could not be hidden.

Lin Ling laughed.

laugh, it's not because Ghost Li promised to send her back to Beijing.

It's that even Ghost Li knows that she is a goddess, so he can't hurt her by half a point, not even self-harm.
