Xiao Ba's words were quietly tugged on her sleeve by Ah Ruan beside her, she blinked her eyes and still didn't understand, so she quietly looked sideways, thinking that she whispered: "Sister Ah Ruan, what's wrong?" ”

Her voice is actually very small, but now the room is quiet, and no matter how small the voice is, everyone in the room can hear it. Ah Ruan glanced at Bai Yanran, and hurriedly shook his head and stopped moving.

Su Xin was the first time to comb Bai Yanran's hair in a woman's bun today, and some hands were at a loss for a while. She was already irritable in her heart, and after listening to Xiaoba's words, she said angrily: "What are you talking about, I don't know that my young lady is a fierce and vicious yaksha." ”

Xiaoba then understood, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, no, I didn't say it." ”

Bai Yanran felt that what she said meant something, and before she could ask carefully, Zhu Ling walked over and picked up another wooden comb to coil her hair, and a pair of skillful hands quickly combed the hair in a bun, and then put down the comb and looked at Su Xin and said with a smile: "I'm clumsy, is it okay for my sister to look at me like this?" ”

Su Xin finally combed the young lady's hair twice more, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Zhu Ling was giving herself a step, and she was not the one who took Qiao, so she said bluntly: "It's a good comb, thank you." ”

After a pause, she picked out a suitable headdress and dressed her hair in a bun, and said with a little blush: "I'm not very old, you can call me plain, in the future, everyone will do things together, you don't have to be so polite, as long as you serve the young lady well, you will definitely not be treated badly." ”

Bai Yanran looked at the reactions of several people, Zhu Ling had already retreated and stood with the other three, she smiled and nodded yes, Ah Ruan and Xiaoba also nodded busily, only Na Chunyi raised her chin and pouted.

Bai Yanran looked at her well-dressed self in the mirror and smiled faintly, and said, "Go down, I will call you if there is something." ”

A few people came out with things again, and as soon as the people left, they were a little angry: "Miss, look at that Chunyi, a subordinate is still holding the young lady's shelf, and I don't know how such a person was recruited to do things!" ”

Bai Yanran got up and walked around the room, then walked to the table and sat down and said, "That Chunyi's hands are more delicate than Zhu Ling's, the housekeeper's daughter, where will Su Ri work and serve people, I'm afraid there is some origin." ”

Su Xin was surprised: "Miss, you said that Zhu Ling is the daughter of the housekeeper in the house?" The housekeeper of the palace seems to be surnamed Zhu, but how do you know that she is the daughter of Butler Zhu? ”

Bai Yanran rubbed between her thumb and index finger, her heart was full of thousands of thoughts, but her face was indifferent, and she replied: "She just said that she was born with her father's family, and there should be few people in the palace who came from Beppu." I happened to hear that the housekeeper Zhu in the palace was specially transferred from the Tong family by the queen's mother, so I guessed that Zhu Ling should be the daughter of the housekeeper Zhu. ”

Su Xin nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "This Steward Zhu doesn't know what he thinks, he actually let his daughter come to the palace as a slave, doesn't he care about his daughter's reputation?" ”

The palace is not ordinary people, and if you can be a housekeeper in the palace, you will definitely not be treated badly, but Zhu Yong also let her daughter enter the palace as a slave.

If this is in the poor family, they may think that it is a good thing to have a job to make a living, but how can anyone with some family background look at a woman who is a slave and a maid, and it is not good to hear it.

Bai Yanran thought about something else, in her previous life, Gu Yueyao married into the palace, and as the county lord, she had her own pomp, so she brought four girls to wait for her. But Zhu Yong still specially dialed four girls as usual, but not these people now.

It seems that Zhu Yong is not picking a capable girl to serve, but watching people put down dishes. Thinking of Zhu Ling's fate in his previous life, Bai Yanran probably knew what idea he had in his heart.

Because Zhu Ling didn't have a good impression of this housekeeper Zhu Yong, she was even more dissatisfied with his arrangement, and she was still chattering: "This Zhu housekeeper is really not careful, Zhu Ling and Ah Ruan are okay, this Chunyi and Xiaoba are not capable at first glance, how can they stuff us here, it is really not a long brain." ”

Bai Yanran had a sneer on her lips and said, "You are wrong to blame Steward Zhu, these four people were carefully selected by him."

Ah Ruan is honest and responsible, Xiaoba is not familiar with the world, and Chunyi is obviously even more difficult to get along with. In this way, although there are four girls, only Zhu Ling can be reused, this is his purpose. ”

Su Xin was stunned, pouted and said: "This housekeeper Zhu is really greedy, it's not enough to be a housekeeper himself, and I think that my daughter has also become a confidant around the princess, so she doesn't regard the palace as her own home." ”

Bai Yanran said in her heart that Zhu Yongke didn't have more than that, but when she thought of Zhu Ling, she didn't say it at all, and asked instead: "When did the prince leave this morning?" ”

Su Xin replied: "The prince has been gone for half an hour, and it was sent by the prince's mansion to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness the prince has important matters to discuss with the prince. The prince asked us not to wake up the young lady, so that you can sleep peacefully until you wake up naturally. ”

Bai Yanran thought of the half-asleep sentence "Let me sleep a little longer", she couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckled, and then instructed: "I know, you can't let me be lazy in the future." Now after all, she is not a young lady at home, and as a princess, she must always have some appearance, otherwise it will be difficult to stand up in front of the subordinates. ”

Su Xin nodded, and snickered again: "The prince and the princess are newly married Yan'er, everyone naturally understands. Lord Wang, this is a pampered miss, where is it the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Bai Yanran rarely straightened her face and said: "This is the palace, no more than in our mansion before, everything must be cautious in words and deeds, don't be big, you know?" ”

Su Xin was so frightened that she shrunk her neck and replied, "The slave knows." ”

Seeing her appearance, Bai Yanran was a little soft-hearted, and she swallowed back the words that she wanted to say a few more words, and only said: "It's good that you keep it in mind, okay, let people pass the meal." ”

Su Xin nodded hurriedly and pushed the door out, and was about to let people go to pass the meal, but saw that a few girls were already waiting at the door with food. Seeing Su Xin's suspicious face, the girl in front of her said: "Sister Zhu Ling said that the princess has woken up, let us wait outside the door and wait for the meal, but now the princess is going to pass the meal?" ”

Su Xin was robbed of her job, and when she thought of Steward Zhu's plan, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't say anything when she thought of Bai Yanran's words, she just pursed her lips and turned sideways to signal them to send food in.

At this moment, Ji Lingyun in the prince's mansion was a little distracted when he thought of his wife at home, Ji Chengyu knocked on the table and said helplessly: "You just got married yesterday, and it is a little inappropriate to find you early this morning, but since you have already come, can you concentrate a little." ”

Only then did Ji Lingyun put down the teacup that he had been holding for a long time, and sighed: "Since my father has been alert, he specially sent Song Shiyang to secretly go to Southern Province to investigate. Then it should be Ji Sihong and Lan Guifei who are panicking now, let's just wait to draw a cold knife behind our backs, why should the imperial brother be in a hurry? ”

Ji Chengyu shook his head, and said: "Last time, Gu Fang went to Southern Province to find out some things, and after I came back, I asked people to check them carefully. Liao Guangtian should not be underestimated, the water in the southern province is deeper than we thought, and I am afraid that there is more than one king Jianwang involved in the capital. ”

I don't know what I thought, his brows tightened, and he said, "Do you remember the Miaoyin lady who provoked Prime Minister Zuo and Yu Taifu's son to be angry with the crown some time ago?"

This daughter was originally the daughter of Lin Hao, the governor of Southern Province, and her father Lin Hao was beheaded for corruption and bribery just because he was unwilling to be with Liao Guangtian and others.

Lin Hao is not a nobody, the governor of a province has to report such a serious crime to the imperial court in 1510, and then submit it to his father and emperor after the three provinces have seized the love, and the emperor can only deal with it with his personal endorsement.

However, when I checked the file, I found that there was no conclusive evidence and confession in this case, and if my father saw it, he would definitely question it, but there was no record in the file. I even wonder if this piece of music has passed through my father's hands. ”

Ji Lingyun was secretly frightened when he heard this, and he also settled down, tapped his fingertips on the table, and said after thinking for a while: "In this way, Song Shiyang's trip to Nanyang is extremely dangerous. The father was originally cautious in employing people, whether it was Zuo Chenghe or Song Shiyang, they were all children of a poor family with no background, especially now that such an incident happened, the father would only be more suspicious.

Although it is good not to startle the snake, but in this way, if there is a wind and grass, Song Shiyang is afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the whole body. The royal brother cherishes his talents, and he is reluctant to come. ”

Ji Chengyu said with a smile: "You are right, Song Shiyang is a rare pillar of the people, and this king is really reluctant." So I wanted to borrow the ancient recipe to use, first, to let him secretly protect Song Shiyang's safety, and secondly, to send what he found to Song Shiyang quietly. ”

Ji Lingyun nodded and said, "That's fine, anyway, I haven't been able to use the ancient recipe recently, and I still think his piece of wood is in the way." But Brother Huang, there must be no shortage of people around you, no matter when Xu Quan and Hongling must have someone by your side. ”

Ji Lingyun has learned a martial art, which is on par with Gu Fang and Hongling, so Ji Chengyu is relieved to transfer Gu Fang away from him.

Ji Chengyu is different, because he has been trained as a prince since he was a child, and he has learned the art of the emperor, although he has some kung fu to defend himself, he is not proficient in martial arts.

Ji Chengyu glanced at him and said, "Long-winded." ”

Seeing that Ji Lingyun was smiling and silent, Ji Chengyu said again: "Okay, I won't leave you for lunch." Remember to go to see Lingxi when you go into the palace with your younger siblings tomorrow, and she asked me about you the last time I entered the palace. ”

Ji Lingyun got up and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Ji Chengyu thought for a while and said: "When you come out of the palace, you still have to go to the Bai family to return to Ning, remember to have people prepare the Guining ceremony earlier." I have some good tea here, when you leave, you can bring some to the Bai family tomorrow, I think Bai Langzhong will like it. ”

After that, he ordered someone to go to the warehouse to find tea, so he delayed it for a while, and waited for Ji Lingyun to return home just in time for dinner. As soon as the dishes were served, the people added another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and the two ate at the same table for the first time, and they felt a little delicate to each other.

Neither of them likes to have too many people around them, so they only leave Su Xin to serve on the side of the meal. Chunyi looked through the autumn water outside the door, and finally waited for the meal to be removed, so he hurriedly twisted his waist with the tea and went in.

Ji Lingyun picked up the tea and took a sip, then raised his head and commanded Chunyi: "You ......"

Ji Lingyun was stunned when he saw Chunyi's appearance, his brows tightened imperceptibly, and then he continued: "You go and tell Zhu Yong, let him bring everyone in the mansion to Linglong Xiaozhu, this king has something to say." ”
