Chapter 82: Homecoming

The stargazing platform is an excellent place to watch the stars in the palace, and Li Sanmei sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, raising her head in a daze. The sky was starry, but she didn't want to watch it, so she sighed low for no reason and slowly lowered her head.

"Concubine Li, it's a little cold, let's go into the house." The newly dialed close-fitting maid Dongxue said softly.

Li Sanmei squinted at Dongxue, paused, still didn't speak, stood up and walked towards the main house.

It's been three days since the wedding, and I haven't seen him since the moment she lifted her hijab on the wedding night when she saw Long Yuze, who was also dressed in a red wedding robe. It was also these three days that made her understand many things that she had never heard before.

In the fishing village, there are also many men who have three wives and four concubines, but the wives are wives and the concubines are concubines, and the distinction is very clear. But in this palace, it was Concubine Chen, that is, a concubine, who was in charge, and the princess parted ways with them after coming out of the fishing village. Li Sanmei thought of the woman with clear eyes, and couldn't help but sigh lowly. She is afraid that she will never be able to figure out the rights and wrongs in this palace, but she still knows in her heart what should be said and what should not be said, and what should be done and not done.

She is just a ignorant and ignorant woman in a fishing village, and she is recognized by everyone in the palace through the name of the prince's life-saving benefactor. In fact, she was the one who was really rescued, and it was the prince who rescued her from the dire situation. It's not a big deal to be able to help a lifesaver, isn't it?

It was late at night, and the lights of the Tilting Cloud Pavilion had not yet been extinguished.

Hongying looked at Chen Huiniang in the bronze mirror, and said with a smile while removing the hairpin in her hair for her: "Miss, your complexion is getting better and better, white and red, and you can easily compare with the famous ladies in the capital." ”

Chen Huiniang pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and touched her cheek, and said with a smile: "You can talk with a sweet mouth." ”

"Miss, it's not that Hongying has a lot of mouths and tongues, you look at that Concubine Li, it's really less than one-tenth of yours, Miss...... No, not even a little finger of the young lady. Hongying's tone was full of disdain, "She looks like a little family, you don't deserve to lift shoes for Miss!" ”

Hongying has been with Chen Huiniang for many years, and when no one is around, she never scruples when she speaks, and she will say whatever comes to mind. Chen Huiniang didn't stop it, thinking of Li Sanmei's timid eyes and body, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "She is the prince's life-saving benefactor, she really can't move...... Although the prince may not be pampered by her, it is really ...... Glare. ”

"Miss, since she is married to the prince, there will be only one identity in the future, and that is the prince's woman!" Hongying said in a low voice, "Now that the princess is missing, there are only two people in the house, Miss and Concubine Li, if Concubine Li climbs up in the name of a life-saving benefactor, will Miss also sit and wait to die?" ”

Chen Huiniang stood up from the vanity mirror, slowly walked to the bed, thought for a long time, and said lightly: "No matter what, she is the king's life-saving benefactor, and she can't move for the time being." Moreover, Lin Ling's girl doesn't know what's going on, if she says it's missing, there will always be a day when she comes back. Instead of going-for-tat with Li Sanmei, it is better to stand with her...... Hmph, wait for Lin Ling's news to be confirmed, and then make plans! ”

Hongying nodded, indeed, if the missing Lin Ling died, then everything would be easy to say.

But if she didn't die, but came back unharmed, it would be much trickier than Li Sanmei.

In Lin Ling's impression, the streets of the capital are always full of traffic, but today they seem to be extremely deserted. Also, before the sky was clear, she couldn't wait to set off for Beijing. She really wanted to see with her own eyes to see if this dignified Qing prince had married another Miao Jia as a side concubine.

She also wants to ask, is there any other reason why he protects her so much besides because she is a goddess?

For example, do you like her a little bit?

Lin Ling shook her head self-deprecatingly, in modern times, she is a very free and easy woman, how did she become so sentimental and hesitant in this ancient world? Like is like, dislike is dislike, no matter what this ancient system is, she likes that man. No matter how many women that man has married, she should tell him that she likes him.

Isn't it?

If he happens to like her too, that's fine, a lot of things are negotiable.

If he doesn't like her, that's fine, she'll clean up her mood and close her heart in a chic way.

Just as Lin Ling was in the midst of Lin Ling's mixed thoughts, the carriage stopped.

She lifted the curtain, looked at the familiar gate of the palace, and jumped out of the carriage with Caixia's hand.

Everyone thought that Princess Qing was missing, so no one knew that she had returned.

Lin Ling didn't plan to enter the palace through the back door or side door, she was the dignified hostess of this palace, and she didn't need any cover when she came here. Even if it is broken, what about Long Yuze's big deal? All he feared was that she was in danger, and instead of staying in the textile manor, he might as well go back to the palace, which was much safer here than there.

Looking at the shining three big characters of "Qing Wangfu", Lin Ling laughed self-deprecatingly again, she tried everything possible to escape from this cage, but now she came back desperately, it was really ridiculous.

All this is just because of the word "love".

"Princess? Fast! The princess is back! The guards at the door still knew Lin Ling, and they were not unfamiliar with the ghost who had been following Long Yuze all day, and immediately shouted in surprise, and soon shouted out the old housekeeper.

The old butler greeted the door, saluted, and said in surprise: "Princess, you are finally back!" The prince sent a lot of people to look for it, but there was no news! Or did the princess get God's blessing and come back safe and sound...... The princess rests first, and the old slave will arrange for someone to pass the meal......"

The old housekeeper kept nagging, and Lin Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "You go first, I'm fine, just let me know when the prince goes down." As he spoke, he walked straight towards Qingtianwu, and he hadn't come back for a few days, and when he came back suddenly, he suddenly had a feeling of "home", and even the words of the old housekeeper felt a lot more cordial.

Qingtianwu didn't change much, everything was the same, and when she walked in, Yahuan, who was watering the flowers, was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time. Lin Ling smiled again: "Huh? Don't recognize me? ”

"Huh? Aren't you missing, Princess? The little girl said in astonishment, the news of the princess's return to the palace only spread in the front yard of the palace, this Qingtianwu is far away, I am afraid that I haven't gotten the news yet, no wonder this girl is so surprised.

Lin Ling patted the girl on the head, walked into the house, and before she could take a good look at the room she lived in before, she heard a few familiar voices coming from outside the door. She rushed out and shouted in surprise, "Ashin! Luo Wenjie! ”

That's right, it was Ashin and Luo Wenjie who walked in at the door, and when they saw Lin Ling who was safe and sound, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, hid all their previous worries and anxieties, and just looked at Lin Ling who came out and smirked.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you...... Lin Ling tilted his chin slightly, "I was put under house arrest after the banquet in the palace that day, and then I was chased and killed by assassins, and then I fell to the bottom of the cliff...... But now it's okay, I'm back! She laughed and danced as she spoke, as if she had no worries for the rest of her life.

Luo Wenjie said with a sigh: "Xiaoling, I saw the change in the kitchen that day, and I didn't have time to tell you...... I didn't expect it to happen so quickly......"

"It's all gone, why are you still thinking about it?" Lin Ling smiled indifferently, "I think you're also worried these days, won't I come back?" Rest assured! By the way, Luo Wenjie, you've been in the capital for more than a month, right? Won't your dad be worried? If you want to go back to the Black Forest, remember to tell me and I'll send you back, you know? ”

Luo Wenjie's expression was a little depressed and lost, and he said absentmindedly: "Naturally, I want to go back, wait a few more days." ”

Lin Ling nodded, looked at the blades of grass on his tiptoes, paused, and said with difficulty: "Wangfu...... Is there an extra side concubine? ”

Originally, Ashin wanted to ask Lin Ling what happened to him along the way, why he suddenly disappeared, and why he suddenly came back now...... However, as soon as Lin Ling spoke, his voice was full of sourness, and his heart suddenly became sad. The prince married a side concubine again, who doesn't know in this capital, who doesn't know?

The formation of marrying Concubine Li is no worse than that of marrying Concubine Chen, and it is still ten miles of red makeup.

Although Concubine Li is just a country girl, she is the prince's savior...... Thinking of this, Ashin hurriedly said: "Miss, that Concubine Li is the prince's life-saving benefactor, so you should know that Miss too, right?" ”

"Concubine Li?" Lin Ling frowned, it couldn't be Li Sanmei from the fishing village, right?

"Suddenly, I heard the maids talking that the princess was back, and the concubines didn't know that the princess had returned to the house, and they were disappointed, and they hoped that the princess would forgive her sins!" Chen Huiniang dragged her long skirt Shi Ran into the courtyard of Qingtianwu, this courtyard was not big, and there were several people standing at once, and it suddenly became crowded.

Chen Huiniang was wearing a pink floor-length dress, at first glance, she looked like a twenty-eight-year-old girl, with a gentle smile on her face, and bowed her head slightly to Lin Ling. Lin Ling didn't look away coldly, she rushed back to the palace from the outskirts of Beijing, and she didn't even have time to tidy up her hair and clothes, so naturally she couldn't compare to Chen Huiniang, who was like a hibiscus out of the water. When this feeling rose from the bottom of her heart, Lin Ling bit her lower lip, she actually went to compare her beauty with Chen Huiniang, it was really funny!

Chen Huiniang didn't know, slowly raised her head, and waved her hand to the back: "Why don't you bring the meal into the house quickly?" The princess is also tired along the way, you guys are a little sharper! ”

"It seems that this palace has you presiding over it, and there is still a decent one." Lin Ling snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the house.

The large round table in the hall was already full of breakfast, and Lin Ling sat on the main seat, picked up a bowl of porridge and took a sip. Yu Guang saw Ashin and Luo Wenjie also walking in, and said, "You two haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" Sit down and eat together! ”

The smile on Chen Huiniang's face, who was standing on the side, froze, she was a side concubine serving the main concubine for dinner, and there was nothing to blame. But Ashin is a guard, and Luo Wenjie is a country man who doesn't know where he came from, so should she let a side concubine serve them in front of everyone? Chen Huiniang snorted coldly in her heart, gently put down her chopsticks, and took a step back.

Luo Wenjie and Ah Xin didn't listen to Lin Ling's words and sat down at the table, but Chen Huiniang shook her hand and retreated one step ahead, Lin Ling simply put down her chopsticks and sneered: "Concubine Chen, you are nothing more than that." "I smiled and got close to her, but in fact, I wished that she would never come back, but I couldn't stand this little bit of stilt?

Chen Huiniang remained silent, staring at Lin Ling's eyes with a smile: "A few days ago, the concubine went to the Phoenix Eagle Palace, and Miss Ma, who lived in the Qinhou Mansion, also talked to the concubine for a while, I wonder if the princess wants to hear it?" ”

"You all stand down!" Lin Ling waved his hand.

"Miss......" Ashin looked embarrassed.

Lin Ling said lightly: "Stand down, I'll call you in if there's something." ”

After the maids and guards in the room retreated, Chen Huiniang also let go of her hands and feet and sat at the other end of the table freely. picked up the chopsticks and put a snack in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said with a faint smile: "This tastes really good, the princess has lost weight, she should eat more." ”

"Chen Huiniang, I don't want to go around the bend with you!" Lin Ling said coldly, since the first confrontation between them, both of them have known each other's bottom, but this Chen Huiniang likes to look like in front of people and look behind her, which makes Lin Ling very disgusted, so she simply kicked everyone out, just for a better conversation. "Why did the queen mother summon Xiaoge into the palace, and why didn't she go back to the Hou Mansion for so long, what is it for?"

"Princess, are you mistaken?" Chen Huiniang put down her chopsticks and smiled pleasantly, she knew that this Ma Xiaoge was also the weakness of Lin Ling's girl, "The concubine just entered the palace once, how dare she speculate on the queen's thoughts?" ”

Lin Ling stared at Chen Huiniang angrily, she rushed back to the palace in a hurry because she heard that Long Yuze had married a side concubine again, she believed that Long Yuze could bring Xiaoge back from the palace smoothly, so she didn't think much about it. But this Chen Huiniang is the niece of the queen's mother, she just reminded her, isn't it a threat? What are you pretending to be innocent now?

Lin Ling only felt that she couldn't find a vent point for the anger in her belly, she blamed herself, hated Long Yuze, and hated Chen Huiniang!

But, what can it be?

There will be nothing less than what should happen, what should happen!

Chen Huiniang was very satisfied with seeing Lin Ling's crazy appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Princess, what do you say you are doing when you come back?" It's just that if you're just a Concubine Chen, you'll be defeated like this, and if you add a Concubine Li, then how will you end up? While the prince has not yet gone to court, how about the princess disappear by herself? ”

"Chen Huiniang, don't be too arrogant!" Lin Ling slapped the table and stood up, "Don't try to threaten me!" Even if I really can't come back, it won't be your turn to be the princess! If something really happens to Xiaoge in the palace, I can't help the queen, but if I want to deal with you, I can too! Even if I hurt one thousand enemies and self-destruct eight hundred, I don't care! ”

Chen Huiniang stood up lightly, covered her mouth and said, "The princess...... The concubine is waiting for you to make a move, say goodbye! ”

Looking at Chen Huiniang's back slowly moving away, Lin Ling's impetuous heart slowly sank.

She is always like this, she can never hold her breath, and she always exposes her weaknesses to let the other party seize the opportunity.

Why did the queen summon Xiaoge into the palace, there is no doubt that it was for the poisoning of Mrs. Chen that day. But it's been so long, and those who should be punished have been punished, and Xiao Ge really shouldn't be left in the palace anymore, and the queen must have some other reason. Lin Ling frowned, thinking carefully in his heart.

Did he take Xiaoge away to threaten her?

Lin Ling couldn't help but think of this, but immediately shook his head, not many people knew that she was a goddess. Long Yuze concealed it very well, the queen should not know so quickly, and she would not have set up a situation to arrest Xiaoge earlier. Moreover, although she has an extraordinary relationship with Xiaoge, how could the queen know that she would definitely be able to contain her with Xiaoge?

"Princess, the prince has gone down to the court, and he is walking towards Qingtianwu." Caixia suddenly hurriedly walked over, as soon as her words fell, the sound of people saluting came from the door, Lin Ling retracted his thoughts and strode out.

The courtyard was in a tense posture.

Ah Xin blocked Long Yuze's way, and said with a cold face: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have been asking to see him at the door of the study for a while, but Lord Wang has been avoiding it. Now that he has seen the prince, his subordinates have to ask clearly, why is all this going on? Miss disappeared suddenly, the prince inexplicably married a side concubine, and now the young lady suddenly came back, shouldn't the prince give an explanation? ”

"Is it necessary for this king to explain his decision to one of your little guards?" Long Yuze snorted coldly, shook his head, and the dark night behind him quickly stepped forward to restrain Ashin, Ashin drew his sword to resist, and the two were entangled together.

Luo Wenjie had brute strength, but he didn't have any martial arts, so he could only be in a hurry, staring at Long Yuze and shouting: "Xiaoling is married to you, you should protect her well!" But marry another woman when she disappeared, are you worthy of her? ”

This is the third time Luo Wenjie has seen Long Yuze, and he is also full of dissatisfaction, he asked to marry Lin Ling, but was refused. When he came to the capital, he found that Lin Ling was married to the prince of the dynasty, the word "prince" was very vague in his concept, but he also knew that he was a very powerful character, so he silently admitted the facts, as long as Lin Ling was happy, what was wrong?

However, after more than a month in the capital, he found that this was not the case.

Lin Ling is not the only woman who belongs to the prince in this palace, this prince does not treat Xiao Ling wholeheartedly, which makes him more and more uneasy, so he simply stays. Seeing Xiaoling's happy life, he can return to the Black Forest with confidence. But then, Xiao Ling disappeared, and then the prince married another woman...... He simply couldn't stand it.

Long Yuze smiled contemptuously: "You also deserve to accuse this king?" Come on, blast out! ”

But a rural villager dares to shout in the palace? It's just boring!

"Wait!" Lin Ling rushed out of the house, stopped the person who wanted to take Luo Wenjie out, stared at Long Yuze and said slowly, "Lord Wang, put other things aside first, let's go in and talk." Her voice was low, and she couldn't hear emotion.

Long Yuze's face was also faint, and he followed Lin Ling into the house, and the people in the courtyard were quiet.
