8. Disrupt the plan
The next day, Mrs. Lin returned to Shangshu Mansion with her second granddaughter, and on the carriage, Lin Yulan had many words to talk about, so the old lady asked, "What's wrong with Yulan?" ”
Lin Yulan was stunned for a long time and said softly: "Grandmother, do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited yesterday?" I heard that I stayed in the plum room for a long time! ”
"Groundless words!" The old lady scolded sharply, "You and the prince are discussing marriage, why doesn't he look for you but Mei'er?" Did you see the prince enter her room yesterday? ”
Lin Yulan didn't dare to defend herself, but she had already scolded in her heart: This old woman has the intention to match the prince and the fool, doesn't she want to avoid her and hide it from her? Fortunately, the fool was a good deceit, and after a while, he went back to the house to find her, and she said a few words and came out in full.

In the East Palace, Imperial Physician Ge identified the incense smoked on the veil, presented it to Zhao Ling, and said, "Where did Your Highness find this incense?" This is a sea-born navel, made of fur seal kidney, which has an aphrodisiac effect. If you encounter the stone sunflower, the effect is doubled, the people in the navel smell the strange fragrance, and the ordinary people smell the fishy smell and are difficult to approach, so it is also called 'guide incense'. ”
Zhao Ling asked: "This incense is only stained on the veil, how to aphrodisiac?" ”
"The umbilicus is generally used as a pill, taken orally or stuffed into the navel to seal it. If you don't take it, you will be emotionally moved by the fragrance into the blood, and if Weichen is not mistaken, the person who lost the veil must have worn clothes with high necks and sleeves. Your Highness thinks about it, and you will know who is doing it. ”
Zhao Ling thought about it slightly, and remembered that Lin Yulan was wearing a narrow-sleeved waist skirt at the osmanthus banquet, and the handkerchief was originally hanging on her waist, and she saluted, and the handkerchief fell to the ground "inadvertently".
In his previous life, he was obsessed with her, and cherished her things, and after finding that she had a veil, he hid it in his sleeve happily, and then smelled the strange fragrance in a nightmare, as if he had been guided into Lin Qingmei's boudoir.
In this life, if he was not wary of her, he was afraid of such a trap, and he would jump down again and again.
After Imperial Physician Ge left, he pondered, "Why did the Lin family bully an idiot like this? ”
Quan An, who was beside him, sighed and whispered: "The slave has the courage to analyze one or two for His Highness." Lin Qi's parents died and she was raised under the knees of the old lady, so she became a hanging wart attached to Shangshu Mansion, which disgusted Wang's mother and daughter. Now that the marriage of the four girls is imminent, it is better to think of a plan to send the seven girls to the palace, which not only completes the custom of concubines to marry, but also sends away the unpleasant plague god of the seven girls, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Zhao Ling took a closer look at it and said: "Old Madam Lin loves the Seventh Girl, and she will not be willing to let her enter the palace as a concubine, so the two of them secretly planned and calculated every step. ”
It's a pity that they ran into him, a reborn person, and messed up their careful plans.
Well, Xiao Qingmei can no longer be played by this mother and daughter in the palm of her life.
He instructed: "I have to go to Shangshu Mansion tonight, and I will drop the key later." ”
Quan An was about to respond, but he heard the prince change his words: "No need, I will stay outside tonight, and I won't go back, and I will send the court clothes to Shangshu Mansion tomorrow morning, don't be known." ”
When it was getting dark, a magnificent carriage stopped in the alley behind Shangshufu, and from it stepped a young gentleman with a magnificent and magnificent appearance, who waved his hand at the coachman, and the coachman drove away. The young Lang Jun jumped onto the wall and disappeared into the Shangshu Mansion.
The moonlight was clear, the jasper lantern led the way for Lin Qingmei, Lin Qingmei returned to the room after dinner from her grandmother, and today her grandmother talked to her about marriage again, and asked her what she thought of her future husband. She thought for a moment and said, "It's just the same as Brother Ling." ”
But when the grandmother heard this, she sighed, seemed very sad, and let her go back to her room without saying a few words.
Jasper knew that it was not easy to find a gentleman like His Royal Highness the Prince. Regardless of family background, regardless of knowledge, regardless of etiquette, just that eye-catching face and gentle voice have won countless gentlemen in the world.
