Chapter 21: Mother's Relic
Ruoying stood in the middle of the courtyard and watched Xiao Muning being shut out by Lin Qingwan again.
This time he couldn't laugh at it, the county lord was angry with the prince because of the red-sleeved princess, thinking that he would have to receive the punishment tomorrow, he sighed and stood there with his head bowed and didn't dare to make a sound.
Xiao Mu Ning walked slowly to Ruoying, and glanced back at the closed door, "This little fox's temper, how can you say that it will come?" ”
Ruoying looked at Xiao Muning in wonder, isn't it obvious? Of course, the county lord is so angry because of those rotten peach blossoms of yours!
"Lord Wang, if your subordinates are county lords, they will do the same!"
"Why?"
Ruoying thought of what happened at the banquet, and replied weakly, "The peach blossoms outside the prince are so arrogant!" The prince said that in front of the emperor again! The county lord naturally misunderstood the prince in his heart and used her to block the peach blossoms! ”
Xiao Muning frowned in his heart, "But..."
What was said in the hall was just a joke! He did everything possible to protect her, lotus pond, lake pavilion, attic, I heard her say that she liked it, so he thought about building it in the palace, and when she got married, he could see it every day, his original intention was not to show anyone.
Could it be that after getting along for many days, didn't she feel his heart?
Ruoying looked at the prince, said two words, and suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought, seeing that he was thinking, he couldn't help but speak.
"Lord Wang!"
Xiao Muning glanced at Ruoying, and turned back to the room in annoyance.
Before going to bed, he changed into the pajamas that Lin Qingwan gave him, and when he was about to wash his face, he suddenly saw a peach-shaped milky white thing on the side of the basin, and asked Ruoying, "What is this?" ”
Ruoying then remembered that the county lord had specially instructed during the day that he had forgotten to tell the prince about such an important matter, "Lord, this is one of the congratulatory gifts that the county lord gave to the queen's mother, called 'goat milk soap'." This piece was specially given to the prince by the county lord! ”
"Goat's milk soap? What is it for? ”
"Moisten your face with water first, then pick up the goat's milk soap, rub out a little foam, apply it evenly on your face, massage it for a while, and then you can wash it off. Once in the morning and once in the evening, the skin will be fair, moisturized and elastic in the long run. ”
Xiao Muning picked up the goat's milk soap and smelled it, it had a faint fragrance and a beautiful shape, "How do you know?" ”
Suddenly asked, Ruoying hesitated a little, and replied hesitantly, "The county lord also gave a piece to his subordinates." ”
Xiao Muning's eyes were cold.
Ruoying hurriedly said again, "But the county lord gave the prince a carving, and ours are all small long cubes." ”
"We?" Xiao Muning frowned and emphasized the wording in his words.
Ruoying panicked in her heart, it was over, she said that it was too wrong, and she couldn't wait to slap herself immediately.
looked at Xiao Muning and laughed dryly, "The county lord said that he would do too much, so he gave a piece to all the guards in the courtyard." ”
Xiao Muning's face was not good after hearing this, and he put down the goat milk soap, "One piece for each person!" That's a lot! It's getting late, go to sleep! ”
Ruoying Zhan walked out and closed the door tremblingly, and slapped his two mouths in annoyance, "You owe it." ”
Lin Qingwan changed into pajamas, sat in front of the mirror and took off his headdress, and found a headband to tie his hair back casually. Xiao Tan went to fetch water for her, but she was not in the room, Zizhu made a bed for her, walked to the round table and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Lin Qingwan, "Miss, don't be angry, my subordinates also think that the red-sleeved princess is a madman." ”
Lin Qingwan took a sip of hot tea, "You heard it!" ”
Zizhu nodded, "She said everything bad about the prince, and in the end she asked the emperor to marry the prince, isn't this a contradiction?" ”
Lin Qingwan calmed down and thought about it now, she didn't know why she was so angry just now, she had always done her duty as a cooperative ally, didn't she endure it well?
Early the next morning, Lin Qingwan went to the front hall for breakfast, only his mother was there, "Good morning, mother, why didn't you see the prince?" ”
Mrs. Lin sat down, "Come and sit!" The prince said that there was something, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he left in a hurry! ”
Lin Qingwan nodded and sat down for breakfast. After a while, Steward Wang came to report that Lin Qingwan's original yard had been renovated!
Mrs. Lin continued to eat, her eyes peeking at Lin Qingwan to see what decision she would make.
Lin Qingwan thought for a while and ordered, "Xiao Tan and Zizhu don't have to accompany me here, let's go back and pack up our things first!" We're moving back today. ”
The two of them saluted and left, and left with Steward Wang!
"Why do you want to move back?" Mrs. Lin asked quietly.
"It's not good to live in the same courtyard with the prince. Now that the yard is properly repaired, my daughter has always recognized the bed, and she can sleep better when she goes back to live! Lin Qingwan still feels that his yard has a sense of belonging.
"Then you can do it yourself! After all, you have lived in the East Courtyard these days, don't forget to say hello to the prince! ”
"Don't worry! Mother! My daughter will. ”
Fortunately, there are not many things to get from the East Courtyard, and you can move them in one trip.
The guards in the East Courtyard, seeing that Lin Qingwan was going to move out, were still a little reluctant to her, and asked her how well she lived, how could she say that she would move!
Lin Qingwan explained euphemistically, "I haven't married the prince yet!" You can't stay in the East Courtyard all the time! ”
At this time, Wakakage came back from outside, came in with a rectangular object wrapped in brocade in his hand, and saw that everyone was gathered at the door, and asked sharply for some reason, "What are you doing at the door when you are not in your place?" ”
After hearing this, everyone returned to their positions and stood guard.
"County Lord, where are you going?" When he saw Lin Qingwan holding a luggage roll, he asked in surprise.
"My yard is finished and I'm ready to move back in."
"Does the prince know?" Wakakage asked with concern.
"I'm going to tell him when he comes back today. What is this in your hand? Lin Qingwan had already seen what he was holding.
"This is what the prince asked his subordinates to bring back to you."
"For me? That's right, let's talk as we go! ”
Lin Qingwan returned to his long-lost yard, fresh and bright, and his mood suddenly felt warm and comfortable.
Wakakage put the things in his hand in the small study.
Lin Qingwan opened the wrapped brocade, and it turned out to be a fine guzheng.
"County Lord, this zither is the most beloved thing of the prince's mother during her lifetime. I have been collecting it from the emperor for so many years, and this morning the prince entered the palace to ask the emperor for the county lord! ”
Ruoying thought of the conversation between the prince and the emperor just now, and was worried about the county lord and the prince being angry last night, so she specially explained the origin of this thing.
Lin Qingwan plucked the strings, it was really a good piano, the body was shiny, and it could be seen that it had been carefully maintained for so many years, "It seems that the emperor also cherishes this zither, so he is willing to give it to your prince?" ”
Ruoying hesitated for a moment, "The county lord should ask the prince what he said!" The subordinates went back to their lives! ”
When Ruoying went out, he happened to meet Zizhu who came in with water, and he had an idea, "Zizhu, you come with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Before Zizhu could react, he was pulled out of the courtyard, "What are you doing?" ”
They walked outside the door, and Ruoying tempted Zizhu, "How about I teach you martial arts in the future?" ”
Zizhu looked at him and asked vigilantly, "Can you be so kind?" You don't want me to kneel down and worship you as a teacher! ”
Ruoying waved her hand, "No, I teach you martial arts, you don't have to call me master." The situation between the prince and the county lord is unclear, and our life as subordinates is not easy, isn't it? ”
"You want me to be your eyeliner!"
Ruoying hurriedly said flatteringly, "You can't say that, I'm not also your eyeliner!" Let's call this communication. ”
Zizhu thought about it for a while, and nodded reluctantly for his difficulty, "You can't get information from me and help your prince bully my young lady." ”
"Don't worry! My heart is also for the county lord. ”
At this time, Xiao Muning was sitting in the wing room on the second floor of the largest restaurant in Kyoto, "Wangchun Zhai". When Wakakage came, the invitees hadn't arrived yet.
"Sent?"
Wakakage hesitated, "Well, I sent it, it's just..."
"Just what?" Xiao Muning didn't like him to talk the most.
"When the subordinates went back, the county lord's courtyard had been repaired and was moving out of the east courtyard!"
Xiao Muning's eyes froze, he looked out the window angrily, and paused for a while, "Okay, I know!" ”
Ruoying knew the prince's temper, and stood behind him and didn't speak again.
"Yo, what a big pomp and circumstance the prince has!" Xu Luochen and Duan Jin walked into the wing room before and after, and they were not polite and went directly to the table.
Xiao Muning poured himself a glass of wine, "Isn't this looking forward to seeing you again in this life?" Since it's the last meal, it's natural to arrange it well! General Xu can't be made to feel that this king is stingy and hate this king for the rest of his life! ”
Xu Luochen couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, "The prince's wish is a little difficult!" The day before yesterday, I had the fate to meet the lord of Qingwan, and after I went back, I tasted the bitterness of lovesickness, and I had a hunch that I could still come to Kyoto! ”
He looked at Xiao Muning with a provocative expression.
