Volume 1: The Wind and the Smoke Rise, Chapter 23
Knowing that Princess Yi had recognized me, I said, "Yesterday's incident, there were a lot of princesses, but it was really my fault. Today, I have come to ask the princess for her guilt. ”
Princess Yi held Hua Ning in one hand and helped me up with the other. She handed Hua Ning to a maid next to her and asked her to take Hua Ning to play.
Princess Yi pulled me to the stone table under the tree and sat down, "No need to please." This concubine will not misunderstand a good person. Girl, did you enter the palace with King Li?"
I nodded, although I didn't know how Princess Yi suddenly turned to King Li.
"Looking at the girl's temperament and dress, she shouldn't be a rough maid in King Li's mansion. There are very few concubines in the Seventh Brother's Mansion, I have seen them all, but I have never seen a girl. I heard that a few days ago, the emperor rewarded some palace maids to King Li, but the girl was among them?"
I still had to nod my head. King Yi and Princess Yi should care about King Li's younger brother very much, otherwise Princess Yi would not care so much about me.
I don't think I can let her ask any more, otherwise, if I say something wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. I had just squatted down and picked up a pebble and held it in my hand.
I apologized to Hua Ning in my heart, it was very immoral to use children, but I had no choice.
Under the sleeves, the index finger is bent into a bow, and the pebble rests between the index finger and the thumb. I glanced at Hua Ning, and the stone between my fingers shot Hua Ning in the calf. Hua Ning immediately burst into tears.
Hearing Hua Ning's cry, Princess Yi immediately ended her question to me and hurried over to comfort her daughter.
Naturally, I followed, and I naturally took out a handkerchief from my sleeve to wipe Hua Ning's tears. Princess Yi and the maids coaxed for a while before Hua Ning stopped crying.
"Let the girl laugh. This child has been spoiled by our husband and wife. If you and King Li have children in the future, you can't be so used to it. Princess Yi turned around to make fun of me, but when she saw my veil, her expression suddenly became serious. She snatched my handkerchief, "Where did you get this handkerchief?"
Princess Yi changed her gentle appearance just now. It seems that seeing this kind of veil is not just going crazy. I said indifferently: "This veil was given to me by my mother." Princess, what's wrong?"
I reached out to grab it, but Princess Yi still clutched the veil in her hand. Her eyes were full of vigilance, "You say, it was your mother who gave you the veil?" Who's your mother?"
I lowered my voice, and in a voice so small that only the two of us could hear it, I said word by word: "Ling Huan, the wife of the loyal and righteous king of the Zhou Kingdom, is the county lord." ”
"You?" Princess Yi pointed her finger at me with a trembling hand, but when I saw her suddenly roll the whites of her eyes, I caught her falling body in time.
Among the people I pinched her, all around me were women who were standing stupidly. I shouted, "What are you doing standing stupidly? Go and get a doctor. ”
I carried Princess Yi back to her room. When Hua Ning saw her mother fainting, she kept crying after her and kept hitting me with her small fists. The maid next to her didn't dare to step forward and pull her.
The doctor was not invited, but King Yi and King Li had already arrived first. As soon as King Yi came in, Hua Ning pounced on him and cried. King Yi was very worried about his wife, but he had to comfort his daughter first.
Chu Yi's face was a little ugly, "Sister, aren't you here to apologize to the princess?" Why did the princess pass out so well?"
I don't know what to answer, after all, Princess Yi is like this, I do have a very big responsibility.
"Seventh brother, it has nothing to do with the girl." A weak voice came, and Princess Yi on the bed had woken up. I didn't expect her first words to wake up to excuse me.
King Yi put his daughter on the bed and sat down, and helped Princess Yi up by himself, so that Princess Yi leaned on him.
Princess Yi said to a green-clothed maid standing next to her: "Duo'er, if you take Huaning down, she is also scared." Also, the maids next to him also went down. ”
Only four people were left inside. Chu Yi asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, how are you?"
Princess Yi said: "It's okay, but I was a little frightened." ”
As soon as Princess Yi finished saying this, I felt Chu Yi glaring at me. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The princess was frightened again and again, and asked the princess to blame." ”
"You said your name was Maid? Are you a merchant?" As soon as the princess said this, King Yi was also shocked. King Yi said: "Isn't Shang Wan already dead?" Seventh brother, what's going on? ”
Chu Yi's face was expressionless, and his face was even a little pale. He looked at me with a cold look in his eyes, like a sharp sword, as if he was about to swallow me. His whole body trembled slightly, and he could burst into flames at any moment. He gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Xuanyi, Xiao Wang is stupid, I don't know what kind of chess Niangniang plays, and I ask Niangniang for guidance." ”
Chu Yi's anger shocked me. I grabbed the corner of his sleeve, for fear that he would throw his sleeve and leave in the next second. "King Li, before you convict, you should give me a chance to explain."
"Lord Wang, don't worry! I'd like to hear why, too. Princess Yi spoke, and she took her handkerchief from her sleeve and stacked it on top of mine. King Yi took the handkerchief, compared it, and handed it to Chu Yi with a serious face.
Everyone would be shocked to see these two veils. I said slowly: "Since Shang Wan was born, this veil has been by her side. My father and mother especially valued this veil, so to speak, as their life, and of course they taught me the same way. When I was six years old, I went to the palace to play, and when I got home, I found that the veil was gone. My father, who has always spoiled me, actually asked for family law for this veil. My mother just stood by and cried, without the slightest intention of speaking for me. If it weren't for Jun Mo finding the veil and sending someone back in time, I think I might really be beaten to death by my father. I was on my knees outside and passed out, and when I woke up, my dad was next to me sighing. I turned my face away and didn't pay any attention to my dad at all. My father kept apologizing to me, saying that it was not that he was cruel to me, but that this veil was embroidered by the person who loved me the most in the world besides my father and brother, and that person would be very sad if I lost it. I don't know who that person is, my father and mother have always been silent on this issue, but they always talk about that person unintentionally. It stands to reason that I should hate this veil. However, I don't know why, whenever I see the flowers on it, I always feel very down-to-earth, as if my mother is by my side, but this is not my mother's embroidery. ”
Princess Yi said: "County Lord, do you believe everyone here?" ”
I looked around and nodded firmly. Princess Yi said: "I just touched the pattern on your handkerchief when I held it, and I can be sure that your handkerchief and mine are definitely embroidered by the same person." The county lord regards the veil as his life, and Yu Chen is not. ”
