Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Green Branch

Speaking of Ling Shubai, the prince of Lingwei Hou, it is not a simple character.

There are many reasons why it is not simple.

First, although the prince is a relative of the emperor, why did he fall into the eyes of the first emperor, which is enough to make people unbelievable.

There are thousands of people who have discussed this, and the versions that have come up after the discussion are even more innumerable. Some people say that the prince is very handsome, although the current saint is not confused, but when he was young, he also had a graceful and handsome appearance, and the facial features seemed to be a little similar in comparison, so it was privately rumored that the prince was actually the illegitimate son of the saint today, but there were many rumors that Lingweihou raised to cover people's ears and eyes.

That's just one of the sayings.

The prince has the posture of heaven and man, and the appearance of the world, which has been recognized by men, women and children at the foot of the capital, so the appearance of the prince is naturally undoubtedly beautiful, and therefore, some people boldly speculate that the reason why the prince can play with the beard of the saint today - the prince is too beautiful and bends the saint.

In other words, the reason why the current saint is getting better and better for the prince is that he wants to raise the prince from a young age, and when he grows up, he will directly enter the palace and become the person in the heart of the saint......

"It is said that at that time, someone also compiled a book called 'The Story That Must Be Told Between the Holy Lord and the Prince Ling Shi Today', which became popular all over the capital overnight. However, I don't know how it reached the ears of the saint, and the next day a large number of officers and soldiers in the capital cleaned up the pamphlet, and also found out the person who published the pamphlet, and even cut off his head and hung it on the city wall to show the public. It was only then that the rumors stopped......"

Yuan Xiang has already said that she has not stopped for two moments, thinking that she is also a good gossip when she is lively on weekdays, and she can talk about the affairs of the prince in this world for half a day. I also saw that she was full of interest, and she could talk about it for most of the day.

Su Nianyu listened to it, and unconsciously was amused by this amazing "insider", and the corners of her lips curled, and she only felt that it was very funny.

Although she was arrogant in her previous life, she was not a master who liked to listen to this and that, and her temperament was not particularly good, so most of the people were afraid of her. Except for Yuanxiang Yuanshuang and Mama who can talk something, the others can't be connected at all.

Su Nianyu didn't think Yuanxiang was talking too much, but she was a little interested: "What about later?" ”

Motoka continued: "Later. Today, the saint still favors him as always, but the prince is eighteen years old this year, and he looks good enough, but the saint did not make a holy decree to let him live in the palace. It can be seen that the saint does not covet the beauty of the prince. Therefore, the theory of the fragrant dragon and yang between the prince and the saint is self-defeating. ”

Su Nianyu squinted and listened, thinking about the handsome face with no waves, and couldn't associate that person with the prince who was rich in Longyang's mouth as Yuan Xiang said, so he couldn't help but smile and squint.

Along the way, Su Nianyu listened to Yuan Xiang say a lot of things about Ling Shiziye, but it can be said that they are all folk rumors, but they don't know much about the more private things that involve Ling Shiziye. She made a little summary of what Yuan Xiang said in her heart - Ling Shizi Ye is indifferent and doesn't like to interact with people; Unmarried. Suit oneself; Grace.

Su Nianyu was tired of listening, and he didn't even know when he dozed off. When he was fascinated by a pair of eyes, only a faint question appeared in his mind: Is Ling Shizi indifferent?

In a daze, a face that had been knotted by the rain flashed again...... Can this be the case with apathetic people? She felt that he in her eyes was just looking cold, not necessarily in her bones.

Back at the inn, Su Nianyu was served by Yuanxiang to take a bath, originally wanted to rest early, but he was still not very relieved, so he simply took Yuanxiang to see Yuanqiu's situation before going to bed.

Yuan Qiu had already fallen asleep.

The girl who was sitting on the bed and helping Yuanqiu cover the quilt turned her head and saw that it was her, and immediately called humbly: "Big girl." ”

Su Nianyu just waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to be restrained, glanced at the bed, and saw that Yuanqiu's face was much rudder and her breathing was very even, so she asked in a soft voice, "How is Yuanqiu?" ”

The girl lowered her eyes: "Much better." After answering, he got up and went to bring a thick little pestle.

Yuanxiang helped Su Nianyu sit down, Su Nianyu asked about Yuanqiu's situation again, and the girl also answered one by one, and from time to time she would raise her eyes to meet Su Nianyu, but her eyes were full of respect.

Su Nianyu was curious: "What's your name?" ”

The girl said respectfully, "The slave's name is Green Branch. ”

Su Nianyu nodded, couldn't help but look at her twice, and said, "How can you be so good to Yuanqiu?" ”

If she guessed correctly, Green Branch should be the girl in Xicheng Grange, and the person there must also be Aunt Liu's person, she really didn't expect that in the days of Yuanxiang's suffering, it was the girl in front of her who protected her.

If it weren't for the fact that she knocked over the poisonous soup at the critical moment, I was afraid that when she broke in, Yuan Qiu would have already died.

Lu Zhi was also honest, and said: "The slave maid was originally just an orphan, but she was bought by Aunt Liu a few months ago, and met Sister Yuanqiu in Zhuangzi. The slaves and maids are stupid, and they are often punished for not learning things well, so they are often starved and beaten, and their bodies are often blue and purple, and they are all slaves and maids secretly helped by Sister Yuanqiu. Even once the slave maid had a high fever and almost died, it was Sister Yuanqiu who found out and helped me find a mother-in-law who knew how to treat medicine, so she rescued the slave and maid...... The slave knew that Sister Yuanqiu was in trouble, so naturally she would not sit idly by. ”

It's a love and righteousness one.

Su Nianyu was silent for a long time and asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

Green Branch shook her head, but she looked at herself with eager eyes, Su Nianyu paused slightly, knowing what Green Branch meant, she frowned, "You want to follow me?" ”

Green Branch nodded hurriedly and replied firmly: "Yes, big girl, take me in!" ”

Su Nianyu didn't give an answer immediately, only asked why.

Green Branch said: "The slave maid heard Sister Yuanqiu say before that she was the girl next to you, and she was sent to the village after being wronged; But today, big girl, you can come for her and save her from fire and water in time. Although the slave is stupid, she knows that few masters are willing to do this for a maid, and if you can protect the people around you like this, you must be a rare good master. ”

Green Branch paused, glanced at Yuan Qiu on the bed, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, "What's more, the slave maid has no other relatives, and she doesn't know where to go, Sister Yuanqiu is the only relative to the slave maid." As if thinking of something, his face turned red, and he quietly raised his eyes at Su Nianyu, "Slave, slave will try to work as much as possible and eat less......"

Su Nianyu listened to it with a stunned expression, and the speaking style in front of and behind the green branch seemed to change a little bigger, but from the last sentence, he heard that the green branch had a lot of food.

Eating a lot is not a problem, honesty and loyalty are the most important thing.

Su Nianyu pondered for a while, and then said: "It's not necessarily a good thing to be by my side, maybe it's not as you think, as a concubine who has lost her mother, she may have to face more dangers." ”

Green Branch said: "The slave is not afraid. It looked like he was determined to follow her.

Su Nianyu was silent and said, "If I let you sneak into other courtyards to do internal response, are you willing?" ”

"What the eldest girl commands, the slave and maid will do, but," the green branch hesitated slightly between his eyebrows, "the slave and the maid are very stupid, I don't know if it will be bad." ”

Su Nianyu looked at the seriousness of the green branch and smiled.

Seeing that Yuanqiu was still asleep, he didn't stay too long and returned to the house with Yuanxiang.

Probably tired, Su Nianyu slept deeply, and he didn't wake up once at night. I woke up early when I went to bed early, and when I opened my eyes, I was much refreshed.

Because Yuanqiu suffered in Zhuangzi and his body was a little weaker, Su Nianyu wanted to stay in the town for one more day, and then set off to return to the capital tomorrow.

Yuan Qiu heard about this, but he knocked on Su Nianyu's door by himself.

At that time, Su Nianyu was sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand and a cup of Longjing tea in his hand.

Yuan Xiang went to open the door, and when she saw the person standing at the door, her eyes couldn't help but smile, "Sister Yuanqiu, why are you here?" He turned his head with a smile and shouted softly, "Girl, Sister Yuanqiu is here." ”

Su Nianyu raised her eyes at this time, and saw Yuanqiu Yuanxiang walking towards her together, she gently put down the book, looked at Yuanqiu for a long time, and said with a smile: "How is the recovery?" ”

Yuan Qiu was a little restrained, but the look in his eyes couldn't deceive people: "The slave's body has always been strong, but it's just a few hungry meals, it's just a trivial matter." ”

He seemed to think that he was talking too much, so he paused and said, "The girl must not delay the trip because of the slave maid." ”

Su Nianyu smiled lightly, "It's only been two or three months since I saw him, and Yuan Qiu seems to be a little more cheerful." ”

Yuan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to notice it, thinking that there was often a simple green branch sticking to his side, and he was a person who loved to be close to her, and he did talk to her a little, which was not available in Yulan Garden.

grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, worried about whether he had changed a lot and pleased the eldest girl.

Su Nianyu saw her worries and said with a smile: "I think it's good to be like this." ”

When Yuan Qiu heard this, he still felt unsteady, and he was not a person who could speak, so he only took a sneak peek at his own girl, and saw her smiling, so he was relieved.

Su Nianyu asked some more about the green branches, and Yuan Qiu answered calmly and carefully.

At this point, the green branch can be regarded as reliable in Su Nianyu's eyes.

I wanted to ask some about how Yuanqiu lived in Zhuangzi, but I was afraid that I would touch Jingshengqing and add sentimentality, so I told Yuanqiu to pay more attention to his body and something like that. Yuan Qiu's eyes flashed, he was a little flattered that his girl cared about him so much, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it, so he could only nod his head vigorously.

When she was about to go out, Yuan Qiu's tears that she had been holding back for a long time finally fell, and she knelt down in front of Su Nianyu: "Slave maid...... I didn't expect the big girl to come in person. ”

Su Nianyu didn't expect Yuanqiu to make such a move, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuanqiu.

Seeing her crying wet face, but suddenly guilt struck, if she hadn't been deceived by Aunt Liu, how could Yuan Qiu have suffered more, it was indeed her mistake.

Su Nianyu said softly: "Yuanqiu, you have been wronged. (To be continued......)
