Liu Xing'er cried really miserably, she was helped back to the house by Zhu Ling and Xiaoba, and there were many people who saw them along the way, and they all talked about it.

Someone saw that Fang Cai Suxin took Liu Xing'er to Linglong Xiaozhu, and then thought of the rumors that had been circulating in the house recently, and they understood that the princess had taken action to rectify Liu Xing'er, and they all had some thoughts of watching a good show.

But I didn't see where Liu Xing'er was injured, and she came out again within half an hour of entering, and it didn't seem like she was tossed, I don't know why she cried into a tearful person, so she went to inquire with Zhu Ling and Xiaoba.

Zhu Ling and Xiaoba understood that the reason why Bai Yanran was making such a big fanfare today was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. After half pushing and half doing, the news that the princess and princess were going to marry Liu Xinger was spread, and everyone was speechless for a while.

With a master as the master to give marriage, not to mention being able to find someone with a solid background, and can also get a generous amount of makeup, for a family like them, it is tantamount to pie in the sky.

And now that the family has not been settled, isn't it to take her to plug the hole in the lame man's house, as for crying like this? In this way, no one can see Liu Xing'er's thoughts, and naturally has more or less disdain in his heart.

Since it is the prince who is in charge, the meaning is very clear, the prince has no such mind for Liu Xing'er, but is a girl who is delusional and wants to climb into bed to be an aunt, which is naturally despised.

Some people even talked about it privately, saying that the rumor was simply spread by Liu Xinger herself.

"No, it won't."

Bai Yanran sat in front of the window, with a chessboard on the small table, she guarded the black and white alone, and she denied it without thinking about it after listening to Su Xin's words.

"Previously, I specially called Xiaoba and Ah Ruan to inquire, and found that the rumors everyone heard were exactly the same, and it was impossible for Liu Xing'er to spread them around without being noticed.

If it is said from her mouth and is listened to by others, and then it is false, it will inevitably add fuel and vinegar, and everything that will not be said will be exactly the same. Unless someone specially spread it around the house and made it known to everyone. ”

Su Xin's eyes rolled, and she said, "Miss, wait, I'll go and inquire about who I heard about these rumors from in the first place." ”

Bai Yanran rarely saw that the little girl was so concerned about things, so she didn't care about her, and let her toss.

Not long after Su Xin went out, Zhu Ling came in to add tea, Bai Yanran thought for a long time, and asked casually, "Where is Chunyi now?" ”

Zhu Ling pursed her lips and snickered, and replied: "Chunyi was frightened, she must have been honest for a while, so I asked her to take the young lady's clothes and carry her to the yard." ”

Bai Yanran nodded with a smile, looked up at her and asked, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Zhu Ling hesitated for a moment and replied shyly: "I understand a little, but I don't dare to get an axe in front of the princess." ”

Bai Yanran pushed the black chess urn over and said, "It's boring for me to play alone for a long time, I don't care about winning or losing, you just have to accompany me to pass the time." ”

Zhu Ling sat down as she was told, and saw that the black and white pieces on the chessboard were intertwined like a net, entangled, and hesitated for a long time before a child fell.

Bai Yanran's face remained unchanged, and she also fell behind. Zhu Ling couldn't see the deep meaning, and she hesitated for a long time before she landed, and so did Bai Yanran.

Unconsciously, the two of you came and went, and this endgame ended for an hour. Zhu Ling was finally invincible, and was forced into a corner by herself, so she had to abandon her son and admit defeat, and said shamefully: "The slave and maid are not good at chess, so let the princess see the joke." ”

Bai Yanran looked at the chess game between the two of them as if she was distracted, and muttered: "There is a common saying: 'Life is like this chess game', there is some truth in this statement, a person's birth cannot be changed, but the future encounter is his own encounter."

Every decision you make, like every chess piece you fall, will change your future path and will fall into a different situation. ”

Zhu Ling heard Bai Yanran's implication, put away her other thoughts and listened.

Bai Yanran looked at this for a long time, and finally raised her hand to pick up the three sunspots, and then fell elsewhere, and the whole chess game suddenly changed, and the sunspots came back to life.

Zhu Ling looked at her in a daze, while Bai Yanran looked up at her and said, "Your chess skills are indeed not good, but you are very talented, and you can see that you are thoughtful and intelligent." But you are accustomed to a chess move, and it is difficult to break the inherent thinking, and you can't jump out of the trap you have set, but you end up trapping yourself. ”

Seeing that Zhu Ling's face was pale and she didn't dare to look at herself, Bai Yanran knew that she had listened to her words, and finally said earnestly: "It's not easy for people to live for a lifetime, but they have a clear conscience." is not worthy of others, nor worthy of oneself, so that he has not lived this life in vain. ”

Zhu Ling took a deep breath, knelt down and kowtowed, and said solemnly: "Thank you for the princess's teachings, I will remember it and be taught by my heart." ”

Bai Yanran got up and helped her up, and said, "Get up, put away the chessboard." Tomorrow, you pick two people to sort out the treasury, reorganize it into a book, and show it to me. ”17

Zhu Ling's eyes were slightly red, and she replied: "The slave and maid must work hard and live up to the trust of the princess." ”

She cleaned up the chess game, added tea, and saw the princess leaning on the couch reading a book, so she went out cautiously.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, when Zhu Ling turned around, she happened to see the figure of Chunyi working not far away, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and went to Xiaoba.

Su Xin sometimes throws her face at Zhu Ling because of Zhu Yong's affairs, but others don't dare. Not to mention that Zhu Ling is the daughter of Steward Zhu, even the princess attaches great importance to her, and others naturally dare not despise her.

Xiaoba is a smiling personality again, and when he saw Zhu Ling coming over, he asked, "Sister Zhu Ling, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhu Ling took her to a remote place and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you something, do you want to think that when the princess and princess went to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, someone quietly entered the house?" ”

The matter of makeup powder has been bothering Zhu Ling these days, her mother can make fragrances, she has also learned a little bit, and she is more sensitive to the fragrance of spices than others.

This morning, she took the opportunity to clean up the dressing table and sniffed it, and made sure that the smell of the makeup powder had indeed changed, not that she had thought too much.

She thought about it, there were people in the house in Su Ri, even if the princess was not there, several of them happened to go to work, and there were also girls walking back and forth to do things in the yard.

If someone wants to go in and do something, they can only take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The prince and princess entered the palace for a banquet, and other people also gathered together to eat and drink, this is the best opportunity.

Seeing her solemn face, Xiaoba didn't dare to joke, frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and replied: "The house of the prince and princess has always been cleaned up by a few of you big girls, and no one enters it on weekdays, let alone when there is no one."

On that day, you and Sister Su Xin accompanied the princess and princess into the palace, and the big guys also gathered in the courtyard to celebrate, and they didn't disperse until they heard that the carriage had returned. ”

Zhu Ling asked reluctantly: "Didn't anyone leave the table during that period?" ”

Xiao Hachi scratched his head, and said: "The big guy was happy that day, and he didn't have to wait for the master, so he drank some wine, and I don't remember if anyone left the table." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and said: "Ah, I remember, Sister Chunyi sat next to me, and I went out for a while, and I just thought she was going to be convenient, so I didn't ask anything."

But a little strangely, when she came back and sat down, I vaguely asked about the smell of fat powder on her body. I don't know if I went to meet someone, and I worked hard for a while and specially smeared incense powder. ”

Zhu Ling was shocked when she heard this, she didn't want her guess to come true, only Chunyi stayed that day and something happened, and she really couldn't escape from it.

Thinking of Chunyi, and then thinking of her sneaking things into makeup powder, it is conceivable that it must not be a good thing. Her heart was beating wildly, and she didn't know whether she should question Chunyi first, or go directly to the princess.

Xiao Ba only thought that Chunyi was going to meet his brother that day, so he specially rubbed the incense powder, and he didn't think about it at all. Seeing her curiosity, Zhu Ling hurriedly instructed: "This matter is very important, but now it is inconvenient for me to talk to you in detail, you just remember not to mention this matter to others, let alone show your feet in front of Chunyi." ”

Seeing Xiao Baying, Zhu Ling left in a hurry, and when she saw the figure of Chunyi in the yard again, she only felt a chill in her heart.

Chunyi came to the house for two years, and was originally sent to please the prince's Le Ji, who played a good dulcimer, and her appearance was very good. I was bent on climbing up to the prince's collapse, but I didn't want to be demoted to the flower house by the prince, and I stayed for two years.

Chunyi is not a subordinate bought by the mansion, she has not signed a deed, she can leave at any time, but even if she is lazy every day, she has never moved the idea of leaving the palace.

Zhu Ling originally thought that she was greedy for the comfortable days of the palace, after all, there are several women in this world who are not involuntarily. Rather than being sent around as a gift, it is naturally better to find an errand in the palace to live a stable life.

But this is obviously just her own thoughts, as the princess said, she always draws the ground as a prison, thinks of others as herself, and thinks wrong about Chunyi's thoughts.

She is a girl who stays in the house every day, where did she find the best makeup powder-like powder? And he is so scheming, he can quietly mix into the princess's makeup powder, where can he be an ordinary person.

Zhu Ling grew up in the Tong family since she was a child, and there are countless pickled things in a wealthy family like the Tong family, and she has seen a lot since she was a child, so naturally she is not as naïve as Xiaoba, and she thinks more about things.

Thinking about it clearly, Zhu Ling went and returned, and hurriedly entered the princess's house, not wanting that Su Xin had already come back at this time, when she entered, she heard Su Xin say: "It's that Miao Yu and Dasheng!" Miao Yu is Steward Zhu's person, and Dasheng has become Steward Zhu's confidant since the descendants of Tong Mansion left. They obviously got the order of Steward Zhu, so they dared to spread rumors everywhere, and it was clear that the surnamed Zhu was playing behind his back! ”

Zhu Ling just opened the door and came in, Su Xin naturally didn't have a good face when she saw her at the moment, but Bai Yanran noticed that her face was wrong, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" When did it make you so flustered! ”

Zhu Ling shook her head, went to the dresser drawer without saying a word, took out the box of makeup powder from the drawer and presented it to Bai Yanran, took a breath and said, "Princess, there are things mixed in this makeup powder." The slave maid just inquired with Xiaoba, it should be Chunyi's doing. ”
