Chapter 88: The third sister enters the palace
Lin Ling moved in the direction of Long Yuze, with a smile, patted Long Yuze's chest, and slowly opened his mouth and said: "Lord, three years ago, your princess, who was me, lived in the Qin Hou Mansion for a while, and then I went to Quanzhou, and the Qin Xiao Hou took care of me in every way. If you hadn't forcibly kidnapped me to be the princess, maybe now I would have been in love with Qin Xiaohou and the princess, and I would have spent a good moon. ”
Lin Ling's words made Long Yuze's face pale, and when he saw Lin Ling getting closer and closer, he couldn't wait to put a hand on her neck.
"Lord Wang, on the night of the candle night in the cave room, Qin Xiaohou Ye rushed into the cave room desperately, just to take me away, presumably the prince must be impressed, right?" Lin Ling ignored Long Yuze's increasingly blue face, and continued to say with a smile, "Today, it is the time for the Bo Mansion and the Qin Mansion to exchange Geng posts, and I went to the Bo Mansion at this time, I think the prince must think that I am there to cause destruction, just like when the Qin Xiaohou made trouble in the cave room, isn't it?" ”
Lin Ling asked softly, but without waiting for Long Yuze to answer, he continued: "Looking at the face of the prince, you know that the prince must be very angry now!" Let the concubines think about it, why is the prince so angry? As he spoke, he tilted his head to look at Long Yuze.
She was so close that even the small pores on her face were clearly visible, giving her a translucent and illusory feeling.
Long Yuze couldn't help but hold his breath, Lin Ling's answer, he seemed to know, but he didn't seem to know.
"Lord Wang, actually, you like me, right?" Lin looked at Long Yuze with a clever smile, but her heart was like a deer, and it hit her throat like a rabbit, making her voice and smile slightly stiff.
When the words "you like me" came out of Lin Ling's mouth, Long Yuze's whole body also stiffened.
In the face of such a close voice, he was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't dare to deny this answer.
"Report to the prince, Lord Li has something important to ask to see!" Suddenly, the sound of the dark night broke the ambiguous atmosphere, as if a stone had been thrown from the water.
Lin Ling turned his head and looked at the dark night coldly, if he didn't come early or late, at this time! I just asked to see her when she asked and didn't respond! If it had been earlier, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed, and if it had been later, she would have heard the answer! Lin Ling kept going crazy in the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't kick the night out!
Dark Night felt two sword-like gazes staring at him, and he couldn't help but tremble. When he was at the door, he saw the ambiguous atmosphere between the prince and the princess, and he hesitated to spoil the atmosphere, but when he thought of Lord Li's anxious appearance, he had no choice but to rush in.
Lin Ling looked back at Long Yuze, expecting him to say something before leaving.
But to her disappointment, Long Yuze just stood up, glanced at Lin Ling deeply, and walked out.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Ling wanted to cry without tears, why did God play tricks on her like this?
What is she doing with the mystery and saying such a long list of words as a foreshadowing? Doesn't he just hope that Long Yuze can see his own heart clearly? Doesn't he just want Long Yuze to admit that he likes her? The courage she finally mustered, and the words she finally finished speaking, were all in vain!
Caixia heard the movement and walked in: "Princess, is there anything to tell the slave?" ”
"Nope!" Lin Ling slapped the table fiercely, "Go back to Qingtianwu!" ”
On the way back to Qingtianwu from Hanyuan Pavilion, Lin Ling was angry.
Ashin saw it in her eyes, and only thought that Long Yuze had bullied her, and couldn't help but comfort: "Miss, what you have to do now is to protect yourself, don't get involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir." When the limelight is over for a while, the subordinates will definitely take the young lady away! ”
Lin Ling didn't know how to explain a lot of words to Ashin, and said vaguely: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”
But Ashin didn't believe it, a pair of eyes stared straight at Lin Ling, Lin Ling was stared at so weakly that he couldn't help coughing, and said, "Ashin, you also have more than twenty, right?" At such an age, but I have never been married, it is a dereliction of duty for me as the master. You've been with me for more than three years, tell me what kind of girl you like, I'll definitely make decisions for you! ”
Being changed the topic by Lin Ling like this, Ashin threw his worries out of the clouds in an instant, and stammered his head and took a step back: "The duty of subordinates is to protect ...... Miss Protection, the matter of marriage is not something that a secret guard like a subordinate should think about! ”
"That's right, you were a secret guard when you were in the Qinhou Mansion, and you are not qualified to talk about marriage, but now that you are my guard, what you should do and what you shouldn't do should be up to me, not the rules of the Qinhou Mansion, you know?" Lin Ling patted Ashin's shoulder, turned his head to see Caixia standing on the side, grabbed Caixia's arm, and said, "I have two of you around me every day, and after saying that for so long, haven't you two looked at each other?" ”
"Princess, don't mess with mandarin ducks!" Caixia said angrily, broke free of Lin Ling's hand, and took a dozen steps back.
Lin Ling laughed, pointed to Caixia in the distance and said, "This little girl is actually shy, Ashin, if you don't want me to mess with mandarin ducks, you can quickly tell me what type of girl you like, and take advantage of my recent leisure to quickly finalize your marriage." Otherwise, I'll be busy later, and you'll be ready to fight a bachelor for the rest of your life! ”
Looking at Lin Ling's elated appearance, Ashin will also laugh heartily, he has never thought about marriage, he just wants to be by the side of Miss and protect her, and watching her laugh is also a kind of happiness. It would be better if the time could be as in Quanzhou, at that time, only he and the young lady, the days were carefree, and there were more joys than sorrows.
After such a quarrel with Ashin, Lin Ling's mood was much better, at least he was no longer obsessed with that matter.
There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it, so let it be.
Lin Ling thought that she had seen it, what should be said was said, what should be done was done, and she couldn't do anything about it.
But when she fell asleep at night, Long Yuze's arrival broke all her disguised emotions.
It was already early days, and the lights in the house had long been extinguished, and after so many years in ancient times, Lin Ling was also used to going to bed early. At this hour, she was about to fall asleep, but suddenly she heard a slight noise. This slight sound was not enough to make Lin Ling get up and check, turned over and continued to lie down, dreaming in a daze.
Slowly, she felt the quilt around her become warmer, and she couldn't help but lean over. However, he suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed, pointed at the person who was half lying on the side of the bed, and roared: "You, when did you come in?" Get out! ”
"Since they have already come in, there is no reason to go out again!" Long Yuze said lightly, the corners of his lips playfully hooked, and a pair of eyes looked at Lin Ling without any obstruction.
Lin Ling lowered his head, and the spring light on his chest was exposed, and the belly pocket inside was also exposed. She pulled the quilt over it and snorted, "Shameless! The second prince of the dignified Daewoo Kingdom actually sneaked into the woman's room in the middle of the night and climbed into the woman's bed, which is not a laughing death! ”
"Really? Why shouldn't this king enter the room of this princess? Who would dare to laugh? Long Yuze moved in the direction of Lin Ling, approaching her ambiguously, the hot breath he spit out as he spoke sprayed directly onto Lin Ling's cheeks and earlobes, it was very itchy, but he didn't dare to scratch it with his hands.
Time seems to freeze, frozen in this moment.
Lin Ling pulled the quilt with one hand to cover the missing spring light on his chest, and supported his body with the other. And Long Yuze leaned on the head of the bed, leaning forward slightly. The two were so close together that they seemed to be only an inch apart, and even each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
Silence after silence, like white clouds floating in the sky.
The air was full of ambiguity, like a fruitless scene in the daytime.
Still silent, Long Yuze's body continued to lean forward, and one hand wrapped around Lin Ling's waist. His face grew bigger and bigger in Lin Ling's eyes, and the moment Lin Ling closed his eyes, there was a cold softness on his mouth. No matter how hard a person's heart is, no matter how cold a person's face is, his lips are warm and soft.
Thinking was broken, no matter how Lin Ling recalled the next day, he didn't know how she succumbed to Long Yuze's kiss that night. Oh, by the way, it must be that Long Yuze's eyes are too misty, it must be that Long Yuze's movements suddenly became so gentle, and it must be that she hasn't woken up in a daze, and her clothes are all gone, so everything falls into place, naturally!
Lin Ling was a little unhappy, and before he could determine his feelings for each other, he was eaten to death by Long Yuze, if Long Yuze didn't like her, wouldn't it be a big loss! But there was no way, last night was so beautiful that she couldn't help but think about it over and over again in her mind.
When I was in a fishing village, it was a last resort. After returning to the palace, the two also kept their distance. Suddenly, yesterday, Long Yuze sneaked into her room in the middle of the night...... Was it a reply to her? The questions she threw during the day were ruined by the darkness of the night, so when he was done, did he come to answer her?
But what does this answer mean?
Lin Ling couldn't figure it out.
She could have thought for the better, but she was afraid that the outcome would disappoint her even more.
"Princess, there is an edict in the palace, the queen's grandmother summoned Concubine Li into the palace!" Caixia walked into the room and interrupted Lin Ling's chaotic thoughts.
"Are you gone now?" Lin Ling came to her senses in an instant, today is the third day, according to her agreement with the national teacher, today is the day when the queen mother learns who the real goddess is. Since the queen summoned Li Sanmei into the palace, it means that the national teacher still chose to keep her, a person who can help him return to modern society.
Caixia replied while arranging Lin Ling's clothes: "Back to the princess, the maids are changing the clothes of Concubine Li, and the steward of the stargazing platform asked people to come and pass the word." ”
Lin Ling nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the stargazing platform, originally thinking that the queen mother would send someone to attack the palace at night tonight to kidnap Li Sanmei. Unexpectedly, this time the queen mother became shrewd, and she used the identity of the queen to summon Li Sanmei into the palace, thinking that Li Sanmei would never come back after entering the palace this time.
Li Sanmei came to the capital from a fishing village, which is equivalent to suddenly coming from a ravine to an international metropolis, and such a drastic change in the environment must be difficult for her to accept. Moreover, she married into the palace and became a side concubine, so she must have adapted to such a sudden change in identity for a long time. Lin Ling sighed silently in her heart, because of Long Yuze's relationship, she really didn't have a good impression of Li Sanmei, and she never told her how to live here.
Now, because of her, Li Sanmei is going to be taken away by the queen.
If Li Sanmei becomes the prince's person, then at least her life is safe. The prince will not hurt her, the goddess, if the throne finally belongs to the prince, Li Sanmei can be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime. If Long Yuze wins the country in the end, then Lin Ling will definitely not allow Long Yuze to hurt Li Sanmei, at least give her back her freedom.
When I arrived at the stargazing platform, there were several eunuchs and grandmothers from the palace standing at the door, taking advantage of the moment when everyone saluted, Lin Ling took a closer look, and found that the palms of those eunuchs and grandmothers had thick calluses, which seemed to be people who practiced martial arts.
"You all go down, this princess still has a few words to tell Concubine Li, lest she lose the face of the Qing palace in the palace." Lin Ling walked into the room and said coldly. Li Sanmei's makeup was almost gone, and everyone saluted and retreated, waiting outside.
Even though Li Sanmei didn't know anything inside, thinking about the last time she was in Yingtai Tower, she also felt that her trip to the palace was auspicious, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose, looked at Lin Ling, and bit her red lip fiercely, not knowing what to say.
Lin Ling took Li Sanmei's hand and sat down, and said, "When you go to the palace this time, there will definitely be a lot of things that you can't understand. But you have to remember that the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not hurt your life, no matter what happens, you must be calm and calm and save your life. Someday, the prince will save you, you know? ”
"Princess, I ......" Li Sanmei choked up and said, "I don't want to leave the prince......"
This time, I don't know when we will see each other again, she really doesn't want to leave.
"I know your affection." Lin Ling said lightly, "But you also know that you can marry the prince because the prince needs your help." If you enter the palace crying and are seen by the queen and the crown prince, wouldn't it be a big deal? Third sister, I don't want to say anything cruel, but you have to understand clearly, Lord Wang...... Not what you can think of. ”
"I know...... I know, and I never thought about it. Li Sanmei nodded hurriedly, "Princess, I am helpless now, the only thing I think about is the prince, I never expected the prince to treat me, I just want to be by the prince's side...... Princess, I know that I am not qualified to rob the prince with you and Concubine Chen, so I never dare to have extravagant hopes. If entering the palace is to help the prince, then I will definitely behave well in the palace, be calm and calm in case of trouble, and never help the prince. ”
"That's good." Lin Lingqiang said with a smile, and she suddenly felt a little sad.
When you love someone, you really go down to the dust.
The father-in-law who took the lead symbolically said a few words on the scene, and then left the palace with Li Sanmei and went straight to the palace.
The crown prince did not have a separate mansion, he lived in the East Palace, and everything was taken care of by the queen.
The East Palace is not big, but it is solemn and luxurious, and every small detail is full of care and rigor.
"Emperor, you send this concubine out as soon as possible, if you can't bear it, then the palace doesn't mind disposing of it for you, but you have also seen the methods of the palace. Don't regret it. The queen took a sip of the strong tea sent by the palace maid, and said lightly, "Although your East Palace is under the nose of this palace, Concubine Yu is naturally restless, in case she uses any means to harm the goddess, you will cry at that time!" ”
The prince frowned and said: "Queen Mother, Concubine Yu is short-sighted and has indeed made a lot of mistakes, but the sons will teach her and ensure that nothing will happen in the future!" ”
"Come on, call the concubines to see the palace!" The queen turned her head and said coldly.
"No, don't!" The prince knelt down as soon as his knees weakened, "Queen Mother, son-in-law...... The retainers will dispose of her. ”
"That's good." The queen nodded with satisfaction, and when she looked up, she saw the housekeeper walking in in a hurry, and couldn't help laughing, "The goddess is finally here, Emperor, get up quickly!" ”
Li Sanmei was taken into the East Palace uneasily, she had no intention of looking at the scenery along the way, and always felt that danger was pressing towards her step by step.
"The folk girl has seen the queen mother, and she has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Sanmei knelt on her knees, nodded her forehead to the ground, and saluted tremblingly.
The queen smiled: "Come, third sister, accompany the palace to the imperial garden for a walk." ”
"Yes......" Li Sanmei stood up tremblingly, and the more the queen laughed, the more scared she became.
The queen took Li Sanmei's hand very naturally, and chuckled: "Emperor, let the crown princess and a few concubines come to the imperial garden to accompany the palace to relieve boredom." The weather is so nice today, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden must be in full bloom. ”
The prince nodded, sent someone to summon the princess and a few concubines out, and a large group of people went to the imperial garden.
The Imperial Garden is built along the lake, and in addition to the flowers in full bloom, there is also a lotus pond full of koi fish. The queen sat down in the pavilion in the center of the lake, looked at the water lilies that were about to bloom in the center of the lake, and said with a smile: "That flower is so beautiful, which of you will go and pick it for the palace?" ”
The prince looked at the queen suspiciously, but he only saw the smile on the queen's face, he knew that something was happening, but he couldn't say what it was.
"Queen Mother, let the concubine go and pick this water lily for you." The crown princess blessed herself and walked towards the lake.
"You sit." The queen's tone was gentle, but she was loud, "You are a dignified crown princess, how can you do such a thing?" Third sister, I heard that your hometown is a fishing village, and you want to have an indissoluble love affair with water, so can you go and pick this water lily for this palace? ”
Li Sanmei nodded and slowly walked towards the lake. She grew up by the sea, so she is naturally not afraid of water. However, every step he takes, it is as if he is dragging a hammer weighing a thousand pounds, the panic in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and there seems to be an endless abyss ahead, it seems that there is no turning back if he goes.
She was afraid, but she had no choice but to move forward with her eyes closed.
