19. Orchids

First of all, Yuhong heard that Mrs. Lin was sent to find Lin Yulan, but found that she had already left the house, it turned out that Lin Yulan heard that Zhao Ling had sent orchids to Lin Qingmei, so she took a carriage to inquire about the news early.

Lotus said: "Is the girl going to the palace to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for verification?" ”

Lin Yulan was furious: "That fool can't have the brain to lie, she said that the prince sent it, and that was it." Last night, the prince mentioned orchids in Yang Yushi's mansion, if Yang Yushi didn't have a pasty head, he would definitely give it to him, but he didn't know what kind of gift he was sending. Let's go to the Imperial History Mansion first to ask for an understanding, and then go to the prince to find out. ”

If it's an ordinary orchid, it's just a top-grade ...... Lin Yulan clenched the hand hidden in her sleeve: If it is of the highest grade, it means that the prince's attitude towards Lin Qingmei is not ordinary, and she will do everything to destroy it!

Lotus carefully persuaded: "Why does the girl go around such a big circle? Let's go directly to the Seven Girls' room and search for it. ”

Lin Yulan glanced at her: "Who rarely goes to that fool's yard to search?" A stupid and dull breath of rotten wood. ”

While speaking, the Imperial History Mansion arrived, Lotus Blossom ran to call the door, and a small servant came to greet him, and when he saw that it was the carriage of Shangshu Mansion, he put it in. Lin Yulan went straight to the backyard to find the housekeeper's wife, Jin.

When Jin saw Lin Yulan, he quipped: "Yesterday, your fiancΓ© Jun took away a pot of orchids, and today you came to the door, do you want to return the orchids to me?" ”

Lin Yulan pretended to be shy and lowered her head, and Nuo Nuo said: "Madame said that it was funny, although His Royal Highness took away the orchid yesterday, he didn't know how to raise it, let me find a vacancy to ask Madame." I don't know what kind of orchid is Madame's? When does it bloom? How to water and fertilize? ”

Jin's tone was soft, and he was very slow when talking about raising orchids: "Now that you want to overwinter, you can water it once every seven days, just keep the soil moist, don't water it too much." It has to be kept in the house, and it can't be left outside to let it fall in the weather. This flower is a good lotus petal orchid, and it takes more effort to raise it, and you should always pay attention to heat preservation ......"

Lin Yulan couldn't listen to it anymore, and since she heard "Lotus Petal Su Xinlan", her heart was turbulent and she couldn't calm down for a long time. It is difficult to find a lotus petal Su Xinlan, and in the whole capital, I am afraid that only people like Yang Yushi, who are both Ailan and rich, are willing to buy a pot and raise it. At the beginning of the year, she saw it once in the Imperial History Mansion, and when the flowers bloomed, the shoulders were flat and broad, the stems were thin and the petals were clean, and the fragrance was light and elegant. Yang Yu Shizhen is like an arch, the prince received such valuable flowers, but he turned his head and gave them to a fool?

She got up and said, "What Madame said, Yulan has written it down, so I will go back and give birth." Farewell. ”

She hurriedly said goodbye, and Mrs. Jin looked stunned: I haven't finished talking yet! Don't you listen to the matter of fertilization? But seeing that Lin Yulan had already said goodbye, she had no choice but to swallow her words.

Lin Yulan got into the carriage, gritted her back molars and scolded "cheap maid", although she scolded Lin Qingmei, she grabbed the lotus and pinched a few handfuls, and the lotus didn't dare to make a sound, so she endured it silently.

"Go to the East Palace!" Lin Yulan called, and the coachman drove his horse north.

When she arrived at the East Palace, Lin Yulan was stopped by the guards, and she reprimanded: "Don't you know who I am? ”

The two guards looked at each other, shook their heads secretly, and one of them asked, "Who is the girl looking for this is the East Palace, and women are not allowed to enter and leave on weekdays." ”

When Lin Yulan heard this, the anger in her heart calmed down a little: the prince is well-known in the capital, and because of this, when she was able to discuss marriage with the prince, the nobles of the whole city were very envious.

She slowed down her tone and said, "I am the ...... of Lin Zhengtang Shangshu"

Before the word "four women" was finished, he heard the horse's hooves galloping behind him, and looked back, the prince Zhao Ling was sitting on a horse in a black python robe, bathed in the autumn morning light, like a jade mountain towering, majestic and unparalleled.

He stepped forward and lowered his eyes to look at her: "Four girls are looking for orphans?" ”

Xiao Qingmei is so obedient, she annoyed her so quickly.

Lin Qingmei gave a salute: "I heard that His Royal Highness got a pot of orchids from Yang Yushi, and His Royal Highness knows that Magnolia likes to raise it very much, so Tang suddenly came here, and I hope His Highness will not blame him." ”

Gestures! Zhao Ling snorted coldly in his heart: I must have known that I gave the orchid to Xiao Qingmei, so I came to ask, but I was used to putting on an innocent and empathetic appearance to win his favor.

The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and his tone was frivolous: "Ah, it turned out that it was for that pot of orchids, but that pot of orchids, Gu had already asked Quan'an to send it to Shangshu Mansion yesterday." ”

"Quan'an!" He called, and Quan An behind him dismounted and hurried: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Zhao Ling pretended to say: "Lone yesterday ordered you to send that pot of orchids to Shangshu Mansion, did you eat it yourself?" Why did the four girls come to ask for it early in the morning? ”

Quan'an: Your Highness, this pot is too big, I don't have to move my back!

Lin Yulan: This prince's mouth is really poisonous, I just said to come and see, why did it become a begging?

Quan An's mind turned very fast: "His Royal Highness didn't say that it was given to the four girls in the mansion, and the slave thought that when His Royal Highness went to the Shangshu Mansion to participate in the osmanthus banquet some time ago, he offended the seven girls, so he took the orchid and sent it to make amends." ”

Zhao Ling scolded with a smile, pun intended: "You are clever." ”

He stretched out his hand towards Lin Yulan: "Even if you send the seven girls, it is not easy for you to get it back and transfer it to you." However, the fourth girl and the seventh girl live in Shangshu Mansion, and it is very convenient to take a look from time to time, what do you think? ”

Lin Yulan smiled softly: "Your Highness said that she laughed, the courtiers just wanted to take a look at what kind of breed it was, and by the way, she would explain a few words to the palace maid who raised flowers." Since His Royal Highness sent the seventh sister, it is appropriate for the courtiers to bother for her every day. ”

The corners of Zhao Ling's lips hooked up a sarcastic smile, and looked at her meaningfully, she was born very beautiful, with a kind of weak temperament, her voice was soft every time she spoke, and she always pretended to be understanding, and easily deceived the man. If it weren't for the lessons of his past life, he couldn't guarantee that he would repeat the mistakes of the past.

He rode into the palace, but he didn't even have a polite word to invite her in, and the attendant behind him walked in front of Lin Yulan, and Lin Yulan waited until the footsteps disappeared before he restrained himself: "Let's go!" He turned and boarded the carriage.

The prince's current attitude seems to be teasing her, he doesn't like her, but he doesn't say it. is like that pot of orchids, he knew that he gave it to Lin Qingmei, but he still had to make up some lies to comfort her. It's hard to guess what he's thinking!

She said to Lotus Flower: "Before, Mrs. took Shi Kuixiang to the fool's room, thinking that she would marry me as a concubine to the palace. The prince went to the fool's room later, but how did this attitude change? On that day, I saw that he was neatly dressed, as if he had planned to go to the fool's room and wait for us to catch the traitor. Lotus, did you say that the prince noticed something? ”

The lotus flower flattered weakly: "The incense used by the girl and the lady needs to be combined to be effective, and ordinary people cannot perceive the mystery." According to the slave maid, maybe the prince did not choose the veil? It was just a coincidence that he went to the Seven Girls' room. ”

When Lin Yulan heard this, she didn't agree with it in her heart, and she was very worried.
