Chapter 21 Champa
Yin Yu stood outside the door of the living room for a while, and happened to hear Rong Qinghui slandering him in front of the princess for having a rebellious heart, and suddenly became angry, and was hesitating whether to rush in to clean up this house, when he heard the princess laughing, not only did he not believe it, but also spoke out to defend him.
Yin Yu's whole person is like drinking a big bowl of iced sour plum soup on dog days, comfortable from head to toe, and then looking at Rong Qinghui's deflated face, not to mention how refreshing it tastes.
Rong Qinghui sighed in disappointment, got up and said, "That's all I say, you can think about it carefully." ”
Li Lingyu picked up the teacup and made it clear that he didn't plan to talk nonsense to him again.
Rong Qinghui didn't get entangled, turned around and went out, and when he passed by Yin Yu's side, he glanced at him and confirmed that he hadn't seen him before, but why did he think this person looked so annoying?
……
Yin Yu sent Rong Qinghui away and returned to the living room, Li Lingyu was no longer there, and the maid who packed the tea set told him that the princess had gone to the stable and asked him to find her there.
Yin Yu rushed to the stable, and Li Lingyou was standing outside the shack where Jin Wu was admiring it, with some memories in his eyes.
Yin Yu quietly walked behind Li Lingyu and stood still, without disturbing her.
"The Golden Crow and the Starfall are not exactly similar, the Golden Crow is taller, the limbs are more robust, the Starfall has a lighter coat, longer ears, and a small white spot here."
Li Lingyou said, reaching out to touch Jin Crow's forehead, Jin Crow took a step back and dodged, looking at her with some vigilance.
Li Lingyu's expression was gloomy, he put down his hand, and said depressedly: "It doesn't like me." ”
Yin Yu stepped forward quickly: "Jin Crow is not familiar with the princess yet, where do you not like you, ask the princess to give her a piece of belonging, I will keep it and get close to you tomorrow." ”
Li Lingyou's eyes lit up: "Really? Don't lie to me, I hate being lied to. ”
Yin Yu lowered his head weakly: "Don't dare to go down." ”
Li Lingyu took out a lilac-colored silk handkerchief from his cuff, embroidered with a pink and gold butterfly, and handed it to Yin Yu.
"Here you go."
Yin Yu stretched out his hands to take it, and the silk handkerchief fell lightly in his palm, with a trace of warm body temperature, giving him the illusion of holding her hand, and a wisp of fragrant fragrance entered his nose, making his heart sway.
"You teach it well, and tomorrow if the weather is good, we will go horseback riding in the suburbs."
Li Lingyou's words confused Yin Yu's heart and left.
Yin Yu held the silk handkerchief and watched her back go away.
Seeing that Yin Yu had been ignoring him for a long time, Jin Wu poked his head out of the shed in dissatisfaction and went to his shoulder, spewing hot air from his nose.
Yin Yu hurriedly raised the silk handkerchief high, for fear of making it dirty.
Jin Wu looked at him with dark and bright eyes, as if asking: Isn't this for me?
Yin Yu cheekily said, "This is what the princess gave me." ”
After that, Zhen Zhi folded the handkerchief and put it in his arms.
……
In the evening, Anar and Honeysuckle returned home one after another.
Honeysuckle went to Zongzheng Division, and simply replaced the original guards, there are a total of twenty-four new guards, all of whom she has carefully selected, and from the perspective of mental outlook alone, they are stronger than the previous ones.
The captain of the guard was named Qin Ke, in his twenties, and he was a dark-skinned and unsmiling young man. As soon as he arrived at the princess's mansion, he took a group of his subordinates to explore the terrain inside and out, and then assigned a small team of five people, two shifts in the morning and evening to patrol the inner courtyard wall and the outer courtyard wall respectively, and the remaining four people took turns guarding the gate, and ordered two gatehouses, recording the people who enter and leave the mansion every day, and also proposed to Honeysuckle to change all the gate locks to prevent the guards who had changed away from keeping the keys privately.
Seeing that they were meticulous, Honeysuckle finally reassured, went to Li Lingyu to report it, and praised:
"You didn't see their posture, it was like guarding the barracks, and you almost locked all the rat holes in the house."
Li Ling smiled faintly: "This time you did a good job, and you will be rewarded." ”
As he spoke, he asked Arnal to go to the dressing table and bring a palm-sized blue box and hand it to Honeysuckle.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
Li Lingyou touched the back of Honeysuckle's rough hand and advised: "This is called red crisp fat, you take warm water to clean your hands every day before going to bed, and then apply another layer, or in a few months, these hands will be raised." ”
Anal interjected sourly: "Your Highness saw that Yue Zhumoshu's hands were smoother than her daughter, and asked if there was a secret recipe in the Nanfeng Pavilion, so she specially sent someone to buy the recipe, and exchanged several medicinal materials for more expensive ones, just to make this box, it cost fifty taels of silver, not counting the two hundred gold of the buyer's son." ”
Honeysuckle was moved and distressed: "Why does Your Highness waste money for slaves and maids, slaves and maids are at this age, where do you care about beauty and ugliness." ”
Li Lingyou glared at her lightly: "I don't like to hear this, I'm older than you, listen to me, no matter what age a woman is, she must cherish her appearance, and she must not spoil herself." ”
Honeysuckle hurriedly changed his words: "Your Highness is right, the slave listens to you." After a pause, he said: "But no matter how much gold and silver you have, you can't withstand the same expenses as flowing water, only in and out, after all, it is not a long-term solution, and you should always add some inputs." ”
Li Lingyou yawned, and said with a lack of interest: "These ways of making a living, you can just discuss with Anar, just do what you want to do, and don't worry if you lose money, in short, don't ask me." ”
Seeing this, Frangipani and Lotus Root stepped forward to help her get up with great eyes, and went back to the bedroom to rest.
Honeysuckle and Anal looked at each other helplessly, and discussed how to take care of Li Lingyou's private property.
***
The next day, the weather was fine.
Yin Yu was full of expectations to go horseback riding in the suburbs with Li Lingyou, but he was summoned by the palace to spoil the good thing.
Empress Dowager Rong summoned Li Lingyou into the palace, although she didn't say what it was for, but Li Lingyou vaguely guessed that she was dressed up and entered the palace in a car.
This time, Empress Dowager Rong did not stay in Zichen Palace, but sent someone to lead her to her own dormitory and met her in the main hall.
"Yongsi, sit down next to my sister-in-law."
Li Lingyu did not resist the enthusiasm of the Empress Dowager Rong, and obediently sat beside her, letting her hold her hand, as if they had not torn their faces for the dowry half a month ago.
Empress Dowager Rong shushed for a while before she got to the point: "I heard that your mansion was assassinated the day before yesterday?" ”
Li Lingyou pretended to be surprised: "Where did you hear about it?" “”
Empress Dowager Rong looked at her reproachfully: "Yesterday, Zhan Shilang went to the Ministry of Rites to make a fuss, and there was such a big incident, do you think you can hide it, fortunately you are safe and sound, otherwise I will go to the spring in the future, how can I explain to your imperial brother." ”
Li Ling was humorous and silent, looking at her face, trying to distinguish how much her concern was real and how much false.
Empress Dowager Rong was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, held her hand tightly, and said worriedly: "Yongsi, you live alone, many inconveniences, this time you escaped by luck, how about the next time?" ”
Li Lingyu lowered her head and looked at the palms of the two of them, not feeling warm, but a trace of coolness, flowing along her fingers to her heart.
"What do you think I should do?"
Empress Dowager Rong cautiously probed: "It's better to ...... Why don't I find a colt for you, so that you may have something to rely on for the rest of your life. ”
Li Lingyou smiled sarcastically and nodded: "Okay, I don't know if my sister-in-law has a candidate in mind?" ”
Empress Dowager Rong didn't expect her to nod so easily, she immediately raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "In addition to Qinghui, who else is worthy of you, you childhood sweethearts, you had affection when you were young, and now you can continue the front edge, that's really good!" ”
