"Take it. The princess has already instructed Jinxiu to do the next thing. In the future, you will take the princess's clothes to the laundry room, wash them, and then you will take them back and give them to me!" Qiu Yun said.

"What...... But it was all done by Jinxiu before......" Linglong blinked, extremely unwilling in her heart, but she still had to try to maintain an extremely aggrieved look on her face.

"Why, you didn't hear what I said just now?" Qiu Yun frowned and stared at Linglong and said, "Each of you's errands may change at any time. Whoever does things with his heart and who doesn't do things with his heart, the princess only has a score in her heart! ”

"Sister Qiuyun, I'll take it to the laundry room!" Yuqi said as if flattering.

"No, I'll let Linglong do it today. You did it for her, and I'll let you do it next time! Besides, you have other things to do! Qiu Yun said.

With that, she turned and walked away.

Linglong was reprimanded in public by Qiu Yun like this, and lost face, so she yelled at Yuqi: "Who asked you to say that you wanted to send it for me just now!" ”

After Yuqi was like this by her, her heart also became angry and said, "I'll also give you a step down!" ”

"Who wants you to get me down! You came out like that and said it, so that she felt more and more that I didn't want to send it! "Linglong is angry and ruined.

……

Jinxiu saw that they were biting each other, so she raised her feet and walked out, not bothering to pay attention to the two of them.

As soon as she went out, Linglong went to the laundry room with a bowl of clothes.

When she passed, the maids there were still very stubborn about her.

But she was angry in her heart, so she said: "Haoyue, let her wash these clothes for the princess!" ”

"Ouch, Sister Linglong, do you have to wash the princess's clothes?" A girl is unwilling to be authentic.

"It's not that I have to ask her to wash, but the princess has designated to wash it in the moon!" Linglong said.

"You all get out of the way, since the princess has appointed me to wash it, what is the matter with you?" A voice came from behind the washermen.

When Linglong saw Haoyue at this moment, she was still shocked.

At this moment, Haoyue and the person who served by Tuoba Zeyan's side before were like two people. At that time, when Linglong saw her, she didn't dare to look up and look over in a daze.

I saw that she was wearing a dress that I couldn't see what color it was, and she had a bun on her head, without any jewelry.

It turned out that the round and white face was shrouded in a layer of vegetables at the moment.

The whole person also lost a lot of weight, only the light from those eyes was still the same as before, and there was always a look of arrogance that was different from that of ordinary slaves.

Everyone hurriedly dispersed, as if they were afraid of getting contaminated with her.

"Hazy Moon, it's really not what it used to be. I almost don't even recognize you. Linglong raised her face and said, "This is the princess's clothes, take them and wash them quickly." But be careful, if these clothes are damaged even a little, be careful of your skin! ”

Haoyue's thin and thin face was not half afraid, and she took the pot and said, "Now any sparrow dares to stand on the branch and chirp!" ”

"What did you say?" Linglong glared angrily, looking like a murderer!

"I mean, early this morning a flock of sparrows stood on the beams of my roof, chirping, and I couldn't sleep." Haoyue smiled.

"Tomorrow I will come and get my clothes. You're going to wash it quickly. If you don't wash and dry it well, the princess will be unhappy, maybe Your Highness will think of you again......" Linglong glanced at Haoyue meanly, then glanced at it whitely, twisted her waist and left.

When everyone saw Linglong leave, they lost interest and dispersed in a hurry.

Haoyue walked to her room with the footbasin, she looked at the brightly colored clothes in the basin, and couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule.

At that time, Liu Mengyan was talking to Jiang's mother about the Qingming Festival.

The Great Tuoba pays great attention to the affairs of the gloom.

Every Qingming Festival, the emperor will lead the clan relatives to climb the heights to worship the ancestors, and the female dependents will wear filial piety clothes to go to the palace to worship the ancestors.

All banquets and drinking venues were suspended in all prefectures, and even if they did not wear linen and filial piety, they could not wear too bright clothes.

"Princess, the old slave has written it down. The heads of all the offices are required to wear linen clothes. The other slaves and maidservants only need to wear plain clothes. Jiang's mother said.

"Then it's up to Lao Jiang's mother to do it. When you've counted it, hand me a list. Liu Mengyan trusted.

"Yes. And the old slave went down. Mother Jiang said with a smile on her face.

After she went down, Mother Gong walked in.

"Mother Gong, come and sit down here!" Liu Ruli said kindly.

The eight-year-old princess Xian didn't do it for nothing, not to mention that she came back from a walk in hell.

Naturally, it's not the heart of a teenage girl.

Mother Jiang's face looks warm and flexible, but there are too many eyes, and such people's hands and feet are not so clean.

Gong's mother had a cold face and didn't talk much, but things were done very well. Such talents are the most useful.

"Thank you, Princess. The old slave still stood here and replied. It's the rule. Gong's mother said.

"Mother Gong, the princess has something she wants to entrust to her mother." Bitong Road.

"Please show it to the princess. The old slave will definitely do his best. Gong's mother said.

She has also looked at Liu Mengyan for a while, although this master is not very old, he is still very disciplined, and he is not a delicate and willful master. But the better it is, the more you have to pay attention to the rules.

Mother Gong said again: "I can't stand the courtesy of the princess. It's rare not to dislike it, how dare the old woman not serve the princess well. ”

These words are very good, and there is no pretentious or fake enthusiasm and frankness.

Liu Ruli was very satisfied, she sent Zhu Hai to investigate Gong's mother's background.

He who came out of the palace was only forty years old. The age is just right. The experience is just right.

And Gong's mother is not married. There is an older sister in the family, and there are no other relatives.

A few years ago, my sister and brother-in-law passed away. Left behind two nieces. The niece has long been married and left for another place. Not to each other.

Such a person needs to find a righteous master and serve well. Because the second half of her life depends on whether the master she takes refuge in is reliable.

Liu Mengyan said a few words to Gong's mother, and she understood.

"Slave...... I really don't know why the princess wants me as an old woman? Mother Gong raised her eyes to look at Liu Ruli and said.

Since she entered the palace, she has been dead. It's not that people who haven't been moved, but they can't be relied on after all.

Now that she has become a half-aged, she has long since stopped planning to find a partner.

"To be honest, I see that Mama can withdraw from the palace." Liu Mengyan sat down and said: "I don't know what happened to Xiao Meiren back then, but she disappeared overnight, and the slaves and maids around her were all reduced to everywhere." Since my mother can get out of the palace safely. It can be seen that my mother is a well-connected. Now, my mother is alone, and she is sad behind her, don't you believe how to live the second half of her life? Liu Mengyan smiled.

Mother Gong was slightly surprised.

"Mother Gong, Concubine Ben won't tell you anything today. Mom went back to think about it, thought about it clearly, and then talked back. Liu Mengyan said.

"Yes. The old slave went down. Gong's mother was stunned, then bowed her head and bowed, and withdrew.

"This Mother Gong, the princess is so honest with her. It's ...... like this," Bi Tong couldn't help but say.

"He's a good guy. People are quite arrogant. If she doesn't want to, I'm afraid she can't say anything. So let her think about it, too. Liu Mengyan said.

At this moment, there was a thunderclap outside, and suddenly it began to rain heavily.

"It's raining outside?" Liu Mengyan said.

"It's finally down. It's been cloudy for days. Bitong said.

"Mother Gong just went out, go give her the first oil-paper umbrella!" Liu Mengyan commanded.

Qiu Yun hurriedly walked out and instructed the little girl to send an umbrella to Gong's mother.

Mother Gong got the umbrella sent by the little girl, and couldn't help but stand in the corridor in a daze.

None of the words Liu Mengyan said just now were not true. After she escaped from the palace, she was assigned to the Yi Wangfu, which did not have many holy graces, and she thought that she would stay here in peace, but she didn't expect to meet such a thoughtful Princess Yi.

Back then, she served Xiao Meiren, but she used her heart. But I didn't expect it......

Not only is it difficult to stay in the palace anymore, but his life is almost lost.

Mother Gong sighed, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and went into the rain.

She knew that she didn't have any bargaining chips worthy of such trust, but they trusted her like that.

Mother Gong thought to herself that if she looked at this princess again, if she was really worthy of entrusting the rest of her life, then she would gamble again. Anyway, she doesn't have any family, and if she is alone, even if she dies, she won't affect anyone.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Gong's mother stared at the oil-paper umbrella and returned to the house where she lived, without getting wet at all.

The next day, Liu Mengyan first sent someone to the Chengbo Mansion to deliver a message that she was going to visit, and then after breakfast, she asked someone to prepare a carriage and leave the house.

Hearing the news that Princess Yi came to visit today, there were people waiting in front of the gate of the second room of the Chengbo Mansion.

As Princess Yi's face is also neat, a neatly dressed mother-in-law and several maids are guarding the door to welcome people.

As soon as Liu Mengyan got off the carriage holding the maid's hand, a mother-in-law respectfully stepped forward and said: "The old slave has seen Princess Yi, and the county lord has been looking forward to it for a long time, and the special slave and maid are here to greet the princess." ”

"I'm tired of my mother."

For the old man serving beside the Tuoba clan, Liu Mengyan was naturally willing to give the other party the face she deserved, raised her hand to avoid the courtesy of her mother-in-law, and held Bitong's hand and followed her all the way inside.

A few people passed through the weeping flower gate, bypassed a corridor, and then walked through a boxy garden, and then arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the Tuoba clan lived.

The Tuoba clan, who was barely waiting for Liu Mengyan in the house, heard the little maid in the concierge and hurriedly stood up.

"Second aunt, what's wrong with you?" In her previous life, Liu Mengyan had never seen such a withered Tuoba clan.

How did that dignified and elegant woman to the bone suddenly become like this!

The figure of the Tuoba clan in front of him is thin as if a gust of wind can blow it away, the skirt he wears on weekdays is loose and draped over his body, combed in a round bun, and a plain silver hairpin is inserted on both sides, and there is no other jewelry on his body.
