In the small lotus pond in the north corner of the courtyard, the morning breeze is slightly cool, more than a dozen lotus flowers in the hazy pond are in full bloom, swaying in the breeze, the water surface is a little bit of sparkling flow, the lotus leaves are like a green umbrella standing in the water, more than a dozen red goldfish are playing under the lotus leaves, more than a dozen grass carp, crucian carp swim leisurely in the water.

Li Sheng picked up a small bamboo pole and gently teased the little goldfish, in the past, this small pond was raised by Mama Li and Er Shan to buy more than a dozen grass carp at one time, crucian carp in it, ready to eat while raising, the old man thought it was too troublesome to go to the market to buy fish, so he simply raised a dozen to save walking around. Since they returned to the imperial capital, Chunliu saw the lotus pond in the north corner, and thought that the edible fish in the water were too unsightly, so he pestered him to go to the market and buy a dozen beautiful goldfish and put them in the lotus pond.

There was a knock on the door, and Er Shan opened the door to see a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old with delicate facial features standing at the door, she was wearing a white ordinary style of Shu brocade Confucian clothes, a azure Luo skirt, and she couldn't tell what it was with a few bags of things in her hand.

Er Shan had never seen this woman, so she asked curiously, "This sister, who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

The woman is the head of Princess Chunliu's personal palace maid - Dongling, she has been going straight to Yunmeng since she received the will of Emperor Jing, and when she arrived at Yunmeng, the princess had left Yunmeng with Uncle Wang, she gave a flutter, and then Emperor Jing's sent someone to inform her that the princess went to Wujiang Road in Xuesen Country, and when she arrived at Wujiang Road, when she found out where the house was, Lisheng took the princess to leave Wujiang Road and went to the imperial capital Xuesen City. She could only go out again to rush to Xuesen City to convey the secret decree, and the trip was full of twists and turns, and finally found the courtyard where the princess lived.

She smiled and replied, "Little girl, I'm looking for Junryu, and you asked her to come to me." ”

Er Shan saw that this person was handsome, and he was alone in a girl's family, so he shouldn't be a bad person, so she said, "Wait a minute, I'll call her." After speaking, he ran to Chunliu's room and shouted, "Sister Chunliu, someone is looking for you, get up quickly." ”

Chunliu woke up from her dream and heard Ershan's voice calling her to get up and someone was looking for her, she sat up and thought about the people she only knew in this courtyard in Xuesen City, where would anyone look for her, unless her uncle, uncle came and let him in, why are you in such a hurry! Yesterday, she came back in the middle of the night with Lisheng, and she was exhausted!

She yawned and said, "Just call him in, I'll wash up and go." ”

Ershan said: "Sister Chunliu, I don't know that girl, why do you call her in, you go and take a look." ”

Junru slapped her face, got up from the bed and put on her clothes, she fell to see who it was, strange! She obviously didn't know a few people in this Snow Forest City, who could it be?

Li Sheng also heard the sound of knocking on the door in the lotus pond, and he saw Er Shan open the door and go out and say a few words, probably didn't hear what she said clearly, and then saw her run into the room, and soon after she arrived at the gate, Su Yu Junliu also followed to the gate and walked outside the door.

He walked to the gate curiously, seeing who came so early, what was the matter with looking for Junru? She only has one uncle here in Xuesen City, everyone in this courtyard knows him, and he will definitely let him in as soon as possible, and it is definitely not her uncle who didn't let anyone in this time, so who is it?

When I walked to the gate, I saw a beautiful girl standing next to Chunliu, and Chunliu attached her ear to know what they were talking about, and Chunliu stopped when she saw him coming, and greeted him: "Childe, morning." ”

Lisheng snorted and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Chunliu listened to him ask about Dongling's identity, thinking that he couldn't reveal his identity, what identity should Dongling use so as not to arouse their suspicion? It is not good to say that she is a servant, then her former pretending to be fatherless and motherless and poor in her family is full of loopholes. It's not okay to say it's a sister, and at that time she said that she had no siblings...... Alas, the head has an idea, there it is! She pulled her over and said, "Childe, this is my uncle's fiancée Dongling, she only learned that my uncle came here after receiving a letter from my uncle." At that time, her family saw that the uncle had come out and did not return for a long time, and the tunnel wanted to allow Dongling to give the son of the county in the town to fill the house, Dongling had a deep love for the uncle, left a letter and fled home overnight, and came here to find the uncle! ”

Li Sheng heard that it was Hua Yu's fiancée, he looked at this woman carefully, her eyes were not big enough, her nose was not straight enough, her mouth was a standard cherry mouth, her complexion was delicate and shiny, and her appearance was only delicate and unremarkable. How could this epistle reach a woman so quickly? He never believed that Lingji and Hua Yu were such simple characters, but he was unwilling to delve into their past, and chose to respect their secrets! Now that the woman has come to the door, they probably can't hide it anymore, and the things they are hiding will one day be exposed to the sun. He was willing to wait for the day when they confessed to her!

"It turned out to be Hua Yu's fiancée, fortunately, I am leaving, Chunliu took your future sister-in-law in to talk, what are you doing standing here!" Lisheng followed her words and said, Since you Chunliu want to hide it, I will cooperate with you to act.

Chunliu took Dongling's hand and said, "Let's go, the prince has asked us to go in, and I have something to say." After speaking, she looked at Li Sheng again and said, "Childe, then we will go in!"

Lisheng nodded, watching them walk into the house, he said to Ershan: "Next time someone has any stranger, tell me first, I will let people in when I am approved, if I am not there, I will ask him to leave his name and address, and send him away!" I've seen it, and it depends on the situation. ”

Ershan nodded, closed the door, she and Mama Li in this courtyard deserted, never knocked on the door of the courtyard, since the day before yesterday Gongzi went to the palace, yesterday was like a city, people from all walks of life came to visit, last night Gongzi was busy to go home. It's still early today, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a lot of knocking outside the door!

Entering the house, Dong Ling looked at the ordinary room, a nanmu octagonal carved table, four exquisite mahogany stools, a simple wardrobe, a small dressing table by the windowsill with a wooden comb, a copper realm and a few boxes, the most valuable is a carved wooden bed, covered with a peach-colored gauze tent, looming looking at the quilt is OK, the material is smooth is ice silk yarn, the best in summer! Thinking of the princess's brocade clothes and food in the palace, and then to this small courtyard, Dong Ling sighed in his heart: "Princess, you have suffered!" How to live here? ”

Chunliu took her to sit on the stool, poured a glass of water for her to drink, and said: "Don't talk about suffering or anything, at least there is food and accommodation here, although it is not as good as the palace, but it is more than a hundred times better than the common people, by the way, you came to take me back?" What about the other guards? ”

Dong Ling scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Princess, don't worry, be calm, I brought the secret decree here, you can take a look!" As he spoke, he took out the decree from his sleeve and handed it to Junryu.

Chunliu opened it and took a look, it read: My princess Chunliu, the younger brother of the prince Hua Yu listened to the order, you and others left the country of Nanyan without permission, the emperor was depressed in his heart, and he was reckless in his position, one was the princess of Nanyan, who did not want to be enterprising, arrogant and willful, and the second was Uncle Nanyan's little Wang, who was dissolute and uninhibited, and brought the younger generations with disrespect, and traveled to other countries willfully together, regardless of the important responsibilities of the country's country, the widow now secretly punished Princess Chunliu, the king of Huayu County, who traveled abroad for a year, and was not allowed to set foot in the Nanyan country within a year, and was not allowed to ask for help from the official palace. Fan Nanyan official sponsors were removed from office and exiled to the 'Slave Tower'! Another two people will be fined for three years! Chin this!

After reading the above content, Chunliu smiled bitterly, it seems that they guessed really well, the father emperor is going to treat her this time, she pulled Dong Ling and asked: "Dong Ling, should you really not help me, say, how much silver do you still have on you, I can turn over as a serf and sing after I repay the debt!" Although she is not in a hurry to leave Lisheng's side, it is good to return the silver, at least she can get rid of the identity of a servant, she doesn't have to follow his call, and she has the right to be free to be on an equal footing with him!

Dong Ling lowered his head and whispered embarrassedly: "Master, my silver was deducted by the chief guard this morning, Emperor Jing knows that you will beat my silver idea, when I find you, the silver and valuable jewelry on my body must be put on the table!"

Chunliu gritted her teeth, she knew that what his father emperor wanted to do was ruthless, and all relief was cut off at once! At first, they were bent on their father's relief, but since the Taishou Mansion turmoil incident caused by Wupingua, they no longer easily show up to make money, although Uncle Wang is also the demon king of the world, he doesn't want to do something that damages his image to get silver! Both of them are waiting for the Southern Flame Kingdom to send someone to pick them up! Now it seems that the road of the father emperor is broken, and the first thing now is to quickly discuss with the uncle about making money, it is difficult to be a maid for a year!

Thinking of this, she took a leave of absence from Lisheng, and immediately took Dongling to the martial arts hall to find Uncle Wang!

In the martial arts hall, Uncle Xiao Wang is learning marksmanship with more than 20 disciples, he is wearing a black power suit, holding a silver gun and a sassy posture! Wearing a bamboo hat on his head adds a bit of mystery!

Chunliu shouted: "Uncle, I'm here, look who's coming!"

When Xi Yan saw Dongling, he happily put down his gun and said a few words to his disciples, pulled them to sit down in the hall, and asked Dongling: "When did Dongling find it, but he came to pick us up!"

Dong Ling looked at the king of Huayu County, her handsome face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly, she replied with a red face: "I went to Xuesen City last night, and I went to the princess this morning to report the news, but I'm afraid that Uncle Wang will be disappointed, the emperor didn't send someone to pick you up, take a look at this!" After speaking, she took out the secret decree from her sleeve and handed it to Hua Yu.

Hua Yu took the secret decree, sighed after reading it, and said to Chunliu: "Niece! It seems that we have been abandoned, should I be a martial artist for a year, no! ”

Chunliu smiled bitterly and teased: "Uncle, I suggest that you sell your hue and ask the ladies for some silver, so that you can pay off Lisheng's account, yes."

You should pay the debt yourself! At least I'll be on an equal footing with him! Don't be enslaved by him! ”

Hua Yu glanced at her and said, "You guy with no conscience, you are very unfilial, Uncle used all his resources to squander it for you in Yunmeng Kingdom, you forgot, stinky girl, if I sell you to Lisheng, I will go alone!"

"I also said, I don't know who was dragged to Wujiang Road by me in a carriage, who is this girl sold into slavery for, you have to find a way to get silver, I am optimistic about you! And Dong Ling will be your nominal fiancée in the future! You are responsible for her! Over to you! Chun Ryu dragged Dong Ling over and pushed him to his side and laughed evilly!

Dong Ling lowered his head shyly and didn't dare to speak, and his hands nervously tugged at the corners of his clothes.

Hua Yu heard the thunder, opened her mouth wide and complained: "Stinky girl, it's too outrageous for you to lie, so I still have to take care of her!" You don't care about her anymore? ”

Chunliu tugged at the corner of his clothes, pretending to be pitiful and coquettish: "Uncle, I can only say this, otherwise how can I explain Dongling's identity?" I'm all for the sake of the overall situation, you cooperate well! ”
