Chapter 7: The King of Huainan

"Alang!" Qingshuang smiled, people in Huachen like to call people like this, only take one word in the name, just like "Ah Xiu" and "Ah Yu", sometimes although he has called each other like this for a long time, he still doesn't know his real name.

The night was already deep, Ayu's tattered clothes were just barely covering her body, a gust of night wind blew, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, fortunately she had food in her stomach and didn't panic, the food in the prison was not better than the porridge, and she was also full.

Although Qingshuang also had a share of the credit for this unwarranted disaster, seeing that he came to fish for himself in the middle of the night, Ayu still thanked him seriously, and pulled Lin Xiu to turn around to leave, but Qingshuang was a little reluctant to go, and called them behind him.

"Where are you going so late? Your Highness ordered you to settle you tonight, and I won't be able to deal with you if you leave like this. ”

"Your Highness?" Hearing this, Ayu stopped in surprise, looked at Lin Xiu with puzzled eyes, and then turned to look at Qingshuang, "You mean ......?"

Qingshuang touched her nose, "I'll just say that your kid has a good life, King Huainan's horse dares to climb, we don't dare to get too close to His Highness on weekdays, it's good for you, this dirty body will hold His Highness and don't let go, do you know how much His Highness's clothes are worth?" ”

Ayu was a little dazed, and looked at Lin Xiu blankly, only to see Lin Xiu nodding earnestly and earnestly.

"I ...... I didn't mean to......"

"Forget it, Your Highness won't pursue it, why should I care, for now, let's settle you well, maybe I will be punished when I go back!" Qingshuang couldn't help frowning, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, this day is really sad.

It had already reached this hour, and it would be too delayed to walk to the inn like this, Qingshuang pointed to Ayu and said to the other guard, "You take him with a horse." He turned over and motioned to Lin Xiu, "Come up." ”

The guards didn't dare to disobey Qingshuang's order, looked at Ayu, frowned and got on the horse, Ayu turned over on the horse neatly, which surprised Qingshuang.

Lin Xiu hugged Qingshuang's waist in fright on the back of the galloping horse, and Ayu looked at her hands, carefully grasping the belts of the guards in front of her, trying to maintain her balance.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two horses stopped outside an inn, and the men heard the movement and hurried out.

Qingshuang said to the man on horseback: "Settle them down, find two clean clothes, and I'll have someone settle the bill when I go back." ”

He said to Ayu again: "Your Highness didn't say how long you will be settled, so let's do it yourself." ”

Ayu looked at Qingshuang and suddenly said: "Wuzhou is a good place, not only can you meet nobles, but even the porridge is better than other places!" ”

Qingshuang just wanted to drive the horse away, but when she heard Ayu's words and put down the reins, her expression became a little solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "What is the difference between the porridge in other places and Wuzhou?" ”

Huainan King Li Lin is the eldest son of the princess of Huachen, often ordered to deal with important affairs, the second prince Linhai King Li Shuo for the concubine, but also quite the king's reuse, although the two princes are over the age of the weak crown, but the son has not yet been established, but in the eyes of Huachen officials, the king of Huainan is the future prince according to the etiquette.

This time, the king of Huainan went to the hard-hit area to inspect, and the prefect of Wuzhou moved a group of family members to another courtyard overnight, and cleaned up the inner house for the king of Huainan to work in Yanju.

Qingshuang Mao started at the time, followed Li Lin from the capital, arrived in Wuzhou, and rushed to the surrounding counties non-stop, and was already exhausted when he returned.

Qingshuang dismounted outside the instrument gate and hurried to the inner house.

The back hall of the inner house is still brightly lit, Li Lin is sitting in front of the bookcase, is working hard to write a book and report, what he saw during today's inspection made him quite frightened, the fertile land was flooded, the people were lost, and now the embankment was rebuilt, disaster relief and relief were all top priorities, and this was only the situation in Wuzhou.

Qingshuang thought that she could go straight to the bedroom, and saw that King Huainan was still dealing with business, and some things could not be avoided by the first day of the new year, so she still came to the back hall and knocked lightly.

"Come in......" Li Lin's eternally indifferent and elegant voice came from the room.

Qingshuang pushed open the door and rubbed into the house, reflexively closed the door, and came to the bookcase, Li Lin did not speak, still writing a newspaper, Qingshuang diligently inked ink, this time the outing was urgent, Li Lin only brought the guards, and the matter of the attendants fell on the personal guards.

After another quarter of an hour, Li Lin finally put down his pen, sealed the newspaper and put it on the case, and ordered: "Send it back to the capital urgently tomorrow." ”

Li Lin got up and stretched his muscles and bones, and glanced at the somewhat apprehensive Qingshuang, "Someone took it out?" ”

"Yes!" Qingshuang lowered her head and replied softly, "I have settled their brothers and sisters in the inn, please Your Highness...... Punishment ......"

Li Lin laughed softly, "You have a good attitude of admitting your mistakes, but punishment is not avoidable, if his sister doesn't wait for us today, what will be the consequences?" ”

"Humble duty knows wrong!"

Li Lin seemed to remember something, "He said that someone wants to arrest his sister-in-law, and at this time, those things that take advantage of people's danger and bully men and women must also be taken care of." ”

"In addition, you yourself will send three months of Yulu over tomorrow, and let them set up an extra porridge shack outside the city, which can be regarded as a punishment!"

Seeing that Qingshuang bowed her head and was silent, Li Lin said lightly: "What, don't accept it?" This amount of money is nothing to the squire boy. ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's not about money...... Qingshuang snorted a little angrily: "I just think that some people fish in troubled waters, and no matter how much money you have, I'm afraid it's just fattening some people." ”

Li Lin frowned, "What have you heard?" ”

Ayu and Lin Xiu lived in two rooms respectively, and took a hot shower first, since Ayu woke up, she slept in bed for the first time, and it was the second day when she slept darkly.

Ayu woke up and opened her eyes to see that a set of clean coarse cloth clothes and underwear were placed on the table, and she was reluctant to change them, because peace was still more important than clean, but looking at the old clothes on the ground, it seemed that they would be torn apart if they were pulled casually.

After hesitating for a moment, she took out the jade pendant from under the pillow, wrapped her chest again to hide the baby, got up and changed into new clothes, and the whole person was much cooler.

Ayu was delayed in Wuzhou for a day, and she didn't know if Lin Xiu was willing to go to the capital with her, so Ayu knocked on her door.
