"Princess, princess......"

Sheng Changning was called by this low voice, and he struggled out of the restless dream.

When she woke up, her forehead was covered with sweat, and even the tails of her eyes were a little wet, making her vision hazy.

Sheng Changning wanted to calm down, but his expression was still in a trance. Since she came out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she hadn't dreamed of Changning Palace ten years ago for a long time.

Those beautiful things that should be unstained with dust, like the pain she had had, were buried deep in her memory, and she was reluctant to dig them up again.

Maybe.

It's because she subconsciously wants to keep Anan and Bei.

But now it's exposed in front of her frame by frame for no reason, it's Abei who is thinking about her, so is it a dream......

Sheng Changning was silent, she lowered her head, wrapped her hand in a circle around her knees, and shrunk herself into a ball.

"Princess, you may have a nightmare, can the slave bring you a cup of tea?"

After the changes of the past two days, when Bai Lu spoke in front of Sheng Changning, his previous timid appearance had changed most of it.

She was not annoyed when she saw that the princess was silent, but she didn't know what to do, and stood hesitantly on the edge of the couch, and Bai Lu didn't dare to make a sound again, for fear of annoying Sheng Changning.

She had to wait quietly on the sidelines, seeing the princess's posture, Bai Lu was really a little worried and distressed—she had heard her grandmother say when she was a child, and people who were wary and often worried were used to sleeping in this position.

As for what happened to the princess, Bai Lu had heard about it when she was assigned to Shufang Palace, and heard that the Feng Ning she was going to serve was the concubine of His Majesty now, but she was not liked by the emperor when he was there, and she was only given an attic, and she didn't even have a title.

After more than ten years like this, until recently, Princess Fengning went to the North Hall to find Her Majesty, and I don't know what she said, the next day Her Majesty gave her Shufang Hall to live in, and also gave her a title.

When Bai Lu listened to those palace maids, she also listened to what they said, "Princess Fengning is definitely not the ...... of the previous emperor", "If so, how can you take care of it alone like this, and give a loft to a six-year-old girl, it is to make the princess be rubbed by those subordinates......"

If it was in the past, Bai Lu borrowed a hundred guts from her, and she didn't dare to think about these words of the master in her heart like this.

It's just that she has been in contact with the princess, and after knowing her true nature, she thinks about these hurtful words, but she is only fortunate that the princess has never heard it, and now she only feels sorry for the princess.

Bai Lu sighed invisibly.

Even she knows that although His Majesty has given the princess an upright title, which is a reward on the surface, he has not given his master the title of "eldest princess".

His Majesty does not recognize such a sister.

Bai Lu thought about it, only to hear a voice from beside him, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Go and bring some water." ”

Bai Lu came back to his senses, and hurriedly went to bring the fruit tea he had brewed before, and now he touched the wall of the cup, and it was a little hot, and the entrance should be just right.

Bai Lu gently handed over the water, and after taking the first sip, Sheng Changning was stunned.

She asked, "Is this ...... Is that the tea you made? ”

The rich plum is sweet and sour, but it is not very sour, which is a little different from the sweet and sour in the memory.

"Back to the princess, it was a slave maid. A few days ago, the slave maid saw that the plums on the green plum tree were already yellow, so the slave and maid picked some of them, and did not think that the fruit tea was still very refreshing, so she wanted to serve it to the princess to taste. Bai Lu saw that she had never been impatient when she heard it, so she enthusiastically explained the method to Sheng Changning one by one.

Sheng Changning didn't interrupt her, and drank the fruit tea in the cup one by one, and at the end, when Bai Lu stopped, she asked, "Are you from Jiangnan?" ”

Bai Lu was stunned, she didn't expect the princess to suddenly ask this, Sheng Changning glanced at her, thinking that she didn't want to say, and said: "If there is any hidden inconvenience to say, just if the palace has not asked." ”

Bai Lu hurriedly shook her hand, and she said, "No, no, no, the slave didn't mean that." The slave maid is indeed from Jiangnan, but she is a little surprised why the princess can suddenly guess ......"

"I just hear your accent is a little bit like that." Sheng Changning had a shallow smile on her lips, and she turned her eyes to Bai Lu and said, "Tell me about Bai Lu's story." ”

Although Bai Lu was puzzled, she quickly agreed.

"The slave's parents are in Jinsha Town, a remote corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but since the slave maid entered the palace when she was a child, she has never been back. When the slave maid entered the palace, she had just turned ten years old, and my mother was very sick at that time, and my younger brother was only two years old, and he was still not even able to shout at the time, when the Yue soldiers were about to go south, and the people in the town did not dare to go out, so the family could not open the pot, and my grandmother had no way but to send the slave and maid into the palace, so as to exchange some silver to buy food. ”

Bai Lu seemed to be caught in a memory.

"After all these years, I don't know what happened to them...... In fact, the slaves and maids did not complain about them, wars broke out, and the people's lives were miserable, if there was a glimmer of hope that the slaves and maids would not suffer, grandma would never send the slaves and maids into the palace. ”

As if sensing that she was a little speechless, her expression became chattering, and she said, "Princess, the slave doesn't mean that the palace is not good......"

Sheng Changning shook his head.

Her eyes looked beyond the white dew to the window behind her, and through the closed window, she could see that the sky was as blue as it had been many years ago.

She sighed, "You are like one of my old friends." ”

As he spoke, a noisy voice suddenly came from outside, and soon, the panicked voice of Lady Mo sounded through the hall door.

"Princess! Princess Anle has fallen overboard! ”

………………

Jing'an Temple.

The palace servants who knelt on the ground outside the closed palace gate, the bright climate on the horizon was gloomy for some time, and gusts of cold wind were thrown on everyone's frightened faces like knives, but no one dared to move.

The hearts of the people were not only panicked, but also fearful and desperate.

His Majesty's favored Princess Anle has fallen overboard! They are all waiting by their side, and when His Majesty comes, which of them can take the blame?

All they have to do now is to ask the Imperial Doctor to come quickly, so that the princess can wake up quickly, and there will be no major problem for them to save their lives, otherwise......

After a short time, the imperial physician rushed over as everyone wished, and the council's grandmother frowned and worried, while welcoming the imperial physician into the hall again and again.

"Imperial Doctor Li, the princess has never had a fever, she just talks nonsense, and she doesn't see how ......good it is to wake up."

Inside the Imperial Physician Li said something more, and the outside could no longer be heard.

The wind gradually became stronger, and Ling'er, who was kneeling in front of her, could no longer feel the coldness of her knees, and her hands were even shaking, but at this time, everyone lowered their heads, and no one saw her strange look.

As if in response to this tragedy, the north wind was blowing in the sky, mixed with fine snow particles.

In the wind, there is a sound that is shrill.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

Ling'er's body couldn't stop shaking, and the panic in her eyes became more and more intense.
