Time has gone back nearly a month, and Wenlan Garden is no longer the quiet and leisurely scene of the past, and the people who used to be lazy and gossip everywhere do not know where to avoid.

In addition to the training of Mama Wang, Ling'er is even more indispensable.

For some reason these days, Ling'er's temper was extremely irritable, and she often put on a stern face to reprimand, and even dealt with a few girls who were talking and telling right and wrong. After that, Wen Lanyuan's people were worried, and no one dared to disobey her half a sentence.

It's just that Jiang Yan gradually stopped going out and became more and more silent. Yun'er and Ling'er were anxious about this, and tried their best every day to let her go out for a walk, but it was in vain. Jiang Yan sent away a group of subordinates, leaving only a few of them to serve by her side, and the name was quiet.

"It used to be quiet in the courtyard, but now it's lifeless." Feiyan shook a plum branch in his hand and sighed: "Everyone has to be careful when they talk in private, for fear that if it doesn't meet Ling'er's wishes, it will be sold to Ya Pozi the next day." Thinking of the pitiful appearance of Xiao Yahuan crying miserably that day, she still feels unbearable.

"I didn't think anything of it before, but now I always feel weird when I see Ling'er." She raised her hand and stroked her arm, making a look of fear.

Leaning over and carrying a basket full of fresh plum petals, the two of them were on their way back from Merlin. Yun'er came this morning, with a happy face, saying that Mrs. wanted to taste the plum blossom cake and should prepare early. No wonder Yun'er is so happy, in the past month, it is not only the ** that Mrs. has gone out, but also her appetite.

The flying smoke seemed to be really suffocating, and it poured bitter water while no one was around. Tilting didn't react to the content of her words, but was amused by her expression, "It's rare, I really think you're not afraid of heaven and earth." ”

Seeing that she didn't take her words to heart, as if she had no sense of what had happened recently, Feiyan was sullen and felt so boring. But her temper has always come and gone quickly, her eyes turned dexterously, and after a while, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she leaned over to her ear, "Sister Tilting is really not afraid of heaven and earth, our lord, okay, look, right?" ”

"Ahh Aunt Feiyan, can you not always repeat the same old tune. ”

Feiyan got the expected reaction, raised his eyebrows, and raised his chin proudly, "Look at me if I'm happy." ”

She is only one year old, beautiful and considerate, steady and rigorous, and she can do everything very quickly, and people who know her can't help but praise her. She takes a lot of care of Feiyan's life, and Feiyan gradually gets used to relying on her, but sometimes she is inevitably short of breath. It's rare to encounter such an unbelievable thing, and Feiyan has to take it out and ridicule it from time to time.

"I wondered, what was going on in your head at the time?" Feiyan's eyes lit up.

What do you think? He caressed the palm of his right hand, but he couldn't find the familiar touch, and he only felt the stinging pain of the porcelain piece cutting his fingers, and he felt even more ...... Personnel are impermanent.

"I'm probably dizzy." That's all she can explain.

Fortunately, Feiyan's curiosity never lasted long, and he asked in a flash, "Do you think anything has happened lately?" ”

Tilting was silent for a while, and asked rhetorically, "What's strange?" ”

"I can't say it, since the prince came to our Wenlan Garden......" Feiyan twisted her eyebrows, looking like she didn't know where to start, she grabbed her arm, it was rare to be serious, "Everyone seems to be different." It's like someone you've known for a long time, and suddenly one day you find out that you don't know her at all. Don't you feel that way? ”

When she heard a "groan" in her heart, she stopped, stunned and didn't know how to answer. A long time ago, she was also afraid and panicked about this, she found countless reasons, preset countless answers, but still couldn't convince herself why things are wrong.

Feiyan still looked directly at her, she took a deep breath and smiled blankly, "Ling'er is different from our position, Madame ignores trivial matters, she is in charge of dozens of people in Wenlan Yuan, if she doesn't take some courage to come out, not only will her ability be questioned, but Madame doesn't know how to be criticized by others, and the so-called killing chickens and monkeys is also a last resort." Madame is kind, it doesn't mean that others are the same, and who knows what we will face in the future? This time I have the right to be a warning, and it is always right to be careful in what you say and do. ”

Feiyan was dumbfounded and stammered, "We'll always be together, right?" Dumping said so much, I don't know why she only picked this one to ask.

He was silent, only smiled and patted her hands. Feiyan calmed down for a while, and asked, "Do you say that Mrs. really didn't go out because of those gossips?" ”

Among the people who were punished, Ling'er punished the most severely those who chewed the root of their tongue. In the final analysis, what Ling'er cares about is nothing more than Madame's feelings, but there are thousands of precautions, and where can she really prevent such a shadowless thing as gossip? And she was even more skeptical that Jiang Yan would really be knocked down by a few gossips.

"What do you have to say directly, what are you pulling me here for?" Not far behind, a slightly higher and impatient voice suddenly sounded, and they were all too familiar. Tilt and Flying Smoke glanced at each other in surprise, and stopped at the same time.

This place is secluded, few people come, originally from Meilin to Wenlan Yuan did not have to pass through here, it is nothing more than Feiyan did not want to go back too early, so he pulled over and around the bend, and by the way, he also found a place to talk. Obviously, there are other people who also like the silence here, and it is assumed that anyone's sudden appearance will not be welcomed.

Just as the two of them were thinking about what to do, the sound of rapid footsteps got closer and closer, just behind the bushes beside them. Just this moment of hesitation made them miss the opportunity, and they were neither advancing nor retreating for a while.

"That's what I asked you. Ling'er, I know you have troubles, but you shouldn't let your temperament come to me, do you know that the entire Wenlan Yuan is now panicking by you. Yun'er's voice was unprecedentedly stern, and Feiyan nodded with concern when she heard this.

"You think too much, I don't have any worries, and I just don't want any more unfavorable rumors to get out of our noses or through their mouths. These people are used to eating soft and fearing hard, and they should have been in charge a long time ago, and now is the right time to clean up their people. Ling'er didn't seem to mind Yun'er's attitude, and only replied lightly.

The two were silent for a long time, "You left for a while after dinner that day, and the two of us were supposed to keep vigil together at night, but you persuaded me to go back and ask me to have a good rest, saying that you are enough for one person, and she ...... I definitely want to be quiet and quiet. Ling'er, you and I have grown up together since childhood, supporting and taking care of each other, although we are not related by blood, we are better than sisters, I will never think much about your words, let alone doubt, we all know what day it was. ”

Yun'er stopped, her voice choked slightly, "Since Mrs. lost her child two years ago, she has never been happy, and she can't sleep all night in these months every year. Just because I know and because I trust you, I should go. The next morning, when I saw the prince to see Madame, you know how complicated my feelings are, I am glad that the prince has not forgotten the child, but I am also worried that Madame will be hurt again. At that time, I only thought that the prince was really guilty, and I had the heart to compensate for the lady before I chose to come that night, but what did you do? I never thought it would be your own initiative. ”

Dumping was a little surprised, first, she never thought that Mrs. Yan still had no children after her old age; Secondly, listening to the meaning of Yun'er's words, it seems that Mrs. lost the child and related to the prince, and finally the two fell out of harmony, recalling the time when Mrs. moved to Wenlan Garden, just after that. In contrast, the fact that the prince came to see his wife because of Ling'er made her less shocked.

"Self-assertive?" Ling'er smiled helplessly, "That's right, I'm just not giving up, and I'm even more unwilling." Others don't understand, but you should know why the old lady asked me to marry into the palace with the young lady, just because I was afraid that the young lady would be stubborn and cut off her own way and no one would help her. In the days when the young lady was happily waiting to get married, do you know how I spent it? What I learned and did was not for the sake of the young lady. Yes, I am selfish, I am delusional, and I am not willing to let the beautiful life that could have been possible go away like that. But what's wrong with me? What woman would not be infatuated with a man like the prince and not look forward to it, and where can I compare to them in terms of appearance? Five years, I've been looking forward to it for five years, Madame gains and loses, but what about me? I didn't get anything. ”

Ling'er's voice was not high, but she could hear the restraint and trembling inside. Flying smoke held his breath and was at a loss.

Yun'er looked at the flower-like woman in front of her with pity. The prince and her are like mud, there should not be a relationship between the two that goes beyond the master and servant, but someone gave her unrealistic fantasies, and there is a Mrs. Min with a similar background next to the prince. Once that ethereal promise takes root in the heart, it breeds a strong **, which gradually spreads and is no longer controlled by people. The originally simple girl became stubborn, and she didn't know whether to blame fate or the person who gave her hope.

Yun'er pressed down and sighed, forcing herself to be ruthless, wishing she was in pain now, rather than seeing her regret it one day, "You think that your appearance is better than that of Mrs. Allergy, so you think that what she can do can be easily obtained, maybe you have also complained about Mrs., thinking that she didn't give you a chance." ”

Ling'er didn't deny it.

"If you think so, you really blame Madame, I don't intend to explain anything for Madame, but I want to ask you seriously, Ling'er, over the years, do you think the prince has a point of seeing you in his eyes?"

Ling'er pursed her lips and her face stiffened. In the past few years, almost every time the prince came to Wenlan Garden, she almost came forward to serve the tea, but no matter how hard she tried, the prince never looked at her more.

"And what about the dumping?"

Tilt Bang's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't know why the words fell on his head as soon as he turned around. Her hand was pinched hard, and Feiyan was staring at her to recruit her, she shook her head, and the two looked at each other inexplicably.

"She angered the prince, and everyone was punished together, and you were lukewarm to her during this time, and even other people didn't have a good face for her. But Ling'er, do you really think that this incident started because of her? Ling'er bit her lip, still stubbornly refusing to speak.

"Madame can guess things, how can you not see through the prince's careful thoughts. On the surface, it seems that because of the poor cuò, in fact, it is just a warning to you, and it is also a warning to others, warning everyone to stick to their duties and not to have delusions. You are the closest person to Mrs., and the prince wants to give Mrs. a face, so this will give you a chance. You rushed to the prince so harely, and now it's just a joke. Ling'er, give up, you were born smart, and I don't want this cleverness to ruin you. Yun'er took her shoulders and begged to see her.

I couldn't help but think of what Mrs. said to Ling'er at the end that day, I thought that Mrs. didn't want to spend time to please the prince, and asked her not to persuade her, but now that I think about it, Mrs. has already seen the fire.

When the two left, Tilt and Feiyan's bodies were already stiff and paralyzed, and they breathed a long sigh of relief, but they were a little depressed. The two of them had their own things on their minds, and they didn't say anything along the way.

"If Madame complains about me, I will admit it, but I will not regret it."

This sentence kept echoing in her mind, this was Ling'er's last words, and there was an indomitable meaning in the words. And whether she let go or not, perhaps no one knows except herself.
