CHAPTER XXXV
Jun Yezheng just smiled, his mind was full of Ling Yueyan's various scenes of beating and scolding people by drilling dog holes over the wall, and finally froze on the stage of that royal banquet, they only saw her graceful on stage, but they didn't notice that before she went on stage, in order not to have an accident, she tied an iron piece to her feet.
Her maid said that she heard that the young lady of the Li Mansion was going to deliberately sprinkle soybeans on the stage in order to fix her, but she said: "You can't give up like this, you can lose the dance, but retreating without a fight is not the style of the general's daughter." ”
Then I stepped on each soybean hard, and I heard that in the end, my foot injury lasted for more than half a month.
At that time, he noticed her, obviously the daughter of a general, but she was calculated like this, but she only played some tricks to retaliate, not killing.
Her stubbornness and openness, clean and kind, are rare in the world.
"It's beautiful." Jun Yezheng said.
The secret guards around him, including Wei Yu, were full of black lines, he didn't expect the prince to be such a superficial person, but he admired the prince, dared to speak out, and was not pretentious.
Ling Yueyan opened the prayer post, and there were four words on it: Waifu Courtyard.
She handed the prayer note to the small box with a blank face: "Help me burn it." ”
Then he hung up a smile and went to the lobby of the outer courtyard, Ling Xian was politely talking to Concubine Le, but it was not good for the foreign minister to receive the favorite concubine, and when Ling Yueyan came, Ling Xian left.
Concubine Le greeted her very warmly: "I wish my sister a happy birthday." ”
Ling Yueyan saluted: "The courtiers thank Concubine Le deeply. "Extremely polite.
Concubine Le still said warmly and politely: "I heard that you are sick and you can't make a big deal on your birthday, the emperor is very worried." ”
"The courtiers were frightened, although it was a minor illness, but the doctor said that she should recuperate well, and she neglected her mother."
The two of you went back and forth, and they were polite in the hall for a long time, until Concubine Le found that Ling Yueyan had been standing, and then she wondered, "Why does my sister keep standing." ”
The small box on the side rushed over after burning the letter, and wanted to step forward to play the round but was stopped by the green pomegranate: "Miss said that no matter what happens, we won't make a sound." ”
The small box was someone who could be easily stopped, so he directly ignored the green pomegranate and stepped forward and said, "Niangniang doesn't know, our young lady's illness can't sit for a long time." ”
Concubine Le glanced at the small box and didn't speak, Ling Yueyan made up for it in time: "The maid is worried about the chaos, how can there be any place for you to interject here, go down." ”
The little box was stunned and turned to leave.
"In that case, then my sister will take me around the back garden of the house." Concubine Le got up and stretched out her hand to pull Ling Yueyan, Ling Yueyan glanced at her eyes, her expression changed slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and when Concubine Le reached out just now, her wrist leaked, and there seemed to be bruises on it.
It must have been the work of that hypocritical Jun Ce, the tooth marks on the spruce collarbone are still vivid, and the two of them walked around the garden for a long time, Ling Yueyan's butt hurt a little, and he endured it.
It wasn't until the whole garden was almost finished that Concubine Le asked the palace maids around her to retreat, and one of the palace maids behind Concubine Le had a different color on her face, and she didn't follow Concubine Le's orders, Ling Yueyan didn't know why Concubine Le wanted to retreat.
But all the way down, she wanted to talk and stopped, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning the explosion of the small ring and Jun Ce, she thought that Concubine Le must have something to tell her, so she cooperated with Concubine Le to say that she was sweating, and asked Concubine Le to accompany her to change clothes.
The palace maid hesitated for a long time before leaving, which couldn't help but make Ling Yueyan curious, Concubine Le was the most favored concubine in the harem now, and this palace maid was obviously sent by someone to spy on her, so there was no one else but that one.
After making sure that there was no one around, Concubine Le took Ling Yueyan's hand and said nervously, "Sister, run away." ”
"What does Concubine Le mean?" Ling Yueyan took a few steps back, and said that the people in the harem were quite scheming, and she didn't dare to talk casually.
Concubine Le also knew Ling Yueyan's distrust, and in order to gain trust, she did not hesitate to open her sleeves, and under the sleeves, as Ling Yueyan thought, one arm was full of bruises, with new injuries and old injuries.
Ling Yueyan was silent, but he was already flustered in his heart, he didn't expect Jun Ce to look like a decent man and a gentleman on the surface, but in private, he would be so human-faced and beast-hearted.
The emperor of a dignified country, how can he be so tyrannical, Concubine Le said: "The emperor has long had the intention of marrying you, and he also knows that the general and his wife do not want you to enter the palace, but he needs a general, a sister." ”
Ling Yueyan was very cautious, looked around, endured the pain on his buttocks, and saluted: "Niang Niang is cautious." ”
She couldn't guess the thoughts of the woman in front of her, if she simply didn't want her to marry the emperor and share her favor, as long as she didn't do anything, her father and mother had already gone to the frontier in advance, unless Jun Ce wanted to marry forcibly and issued an order...
Ling Yueyan suddenly looked up at Concubine Le, who nodded to confirm what she thought.
When she sent Concubine Le away, Ling Yueyan was stunned throughout the whole process, she knew that it was difficult for her to control the marriage, and her father would not let her marry Brother Ye Zheng, but even so, she did not want to be a tool used by others to consolidate imperial power.
Jun Ce already has a plan, and will use the side concubine of the eldest prince to force her to comply, she is not afraid of such a strategy, but she is afraid of the latter.
Jun Ce is a person who likes to challenge, the more he doesn't cater to him, the more interested he is, Concubine Le said that spruce is an example, which can't help but make her panic, if you can't get it, you will destroy it, it doesn't matter if you destroy her, if you implicate the entire Ling family, you can't redeem it.
Father's words are still vivid, the more than 200 lives of the Ling family are not easy to gamble.
On the night of the Spring Festival, according to the rule, the mansions of the important ministers have to go to the palace to participate in the New Year's banquet, but this year is different, the emperor's funeral period has just passed, and the courtiers proposed to cancel.
This was not a big deal, but Ling Yueyan always felt that it was a little extraordinary, Concubine Le fell out of favor strangely, whether it was related to coming to the General's Mansion.
The heavy snow finally fell on the night of the Spring Festival, Ling Yueyan stood under the corridor, and Ling Xian was called into the palace again, standing here he could also hear the excitement outside.
Xiaobin took Li Nannan and Lu Liu out to buy pies, and was going to take her along, but a secret letter should arrive today, and she stood under the porch and waited until now.
A dusty past that has been hidden for years is about to be revealed, and if it turns out to be what she suspected, how will her mother deal with herself.
"Miss, the letter has arrived." The purple cicada jumped down from the eaves.
It was a letter enveloped in brown paper, Ling Yueyan took the letter, and there was a sign like the moon on the envelope, "What about people?" ”
Zi Cicada shook his head: "I squatted on North Street for a long time, and I didn't see anyone." ”
Ling Yueyan looked at Zi Cicada in surprise, Zi Cicada's martial arts were considered high among his father's secret guards, and he couldn't even keep an eye on the messenger.
"No trace?" Ling Yueyan couldn't help but ask.
Zi Cicada was also very depressed, she had been staring at the river lantern and didn't see anyone putting a letter inside, but when the river lantern came to her, there was already a letter inside, and she dared to guarantee that there was no one in the surrounding ten miles at that time.
"Forget it."
Ling Yueyan opened the letter, and Zi Chan also read it together, "Miss, could it be a mistake?" ”
"It is impossible for the monthly letter to be wrong, and I would rather not accept it than give false news." This is also the reason why she must insist on giving Yuexinhe a letter all these years.
There is a long river called the North River in the north street of the right city, which has been winding to the outside of the city, and she also accidentally learned a rumor a few years ago, saying that the North Changhe River is also called the Yuexin River, as long as you put what you want into the river lamp, you will have the opportunity to get a reply.
She had observed for a period of time that the replies were very irregular, as if it were all based on personal likes and dislikes, but as long as there was a reply, whether it was a solution or money, it would be as the person who wrote the letter wished.
She was very curious about who the person behind the moon letter was, and she looked for someone to keep an eye on the river many times, but she never found a trace.
Ling Yueyan was entangled with the letter, and he didn't even know that Jun Yezheng came over the wall, and the purple cicada quietly retreated.
"Hey."
"What makes Yan'er so worried about the New Year?" Jun Yezheng leaned against the big tree next to the courtyard wall, Ling Yueyan reflexively put away the letter, and was relieved to see that it was Jun Yezheng.
Ling Yueyan stood under the corridor, watching Jun Yezheng walking towards her in the heavy snow, and the thousands of beautiful scenery were nothing more than that, she handed the letter in her hand to Jun Yezheng, and Jun Yezheng took it very easily.
Jun Yezheng looked at the letter, Ling Yueyan waved away the snowflakes stuck to his body with his hand on the side, Jun Yezheng who read the letter thoughtfully, the corners of his mouth were cold, and he actually hoped that the content of the letter would be longer.
"The message given by Yue Xinzhang shouldn't be wrong, it's just..."Jun Yezheng handed the letter back to Ling Yueyan.
"Just what?" Ling Yueyan asked.
Jun Yezheng smiled faintly, his eyes looked at the wound on her right hand, although it had scabbed, it would definitely leave a scar, he was impulsive, and reached out to hold it: "I have already written a letter to Doctor Fang, and he promised that I will definitely concoct a bottle of ointment to treat your scar." ”
Doctor Fang? Ling Yueyan had some impressions, as if he was the one who treated the master, and he really knew the identity of Brother Ye Zheng early on.
"No problem." Ling Yueyan withdrew his hand, a flush appeared on his face, and then he asked, "Brother Ye Zheng also knows about Yue Xinzhang?" ”
Just now he said just, just what?
Jun Yezheng clenched his fists lightly, as if he wanted to keep the green jade fingers that had just broken free, he said: "It is rumored that the moon letter chapter was created by a knight in the rivers and lakes, and there were people in the palace in the early years who believed in it, and often sneaked out to release the letter, the first emperor was very angry when he learned about it, and threatened to catch the knight of the rivers and lakes, and then there was a letter of the moon letter posted at the gate of the palace, and the letter said that he would not understand the officialdom again, so as to avoid trouble. ”
It turned out that there was this story, Ling Yueyan didn't know about it, thinking that it was because she knew what happened before Yue Xinzhang, so why did he reply to her this time?
She thought about it for a while: "Maybe it's my constant surrender in the past few years that moved that knight." ”
Jun Yezheng smiled indulgently, maybe it was, his expression showed some worry, once the second brother knew about it, I am afraid it would be another bloody storm.
"What are you going to do with this month's letter?" Jun Yezheng asked.
She was also struggling with this matter, what was said in the letter involved the former emperor, Ye Zhengge was not surprised at all when he saw it, as if he knew, but this matter was related to her mother and Mrs. Hanqing, she must think of a perfect solution.
