Chapter 8: The Princess
"Hmm......"
The light came through the window, and Xiao Lingran rubbed his eyes.
"When am I coming back?" Xiao Lingran wondered.
At this time, a girl came in outside the door, who looked to be about the same age as Xiao Lingran.
"Miss Xiao, you're awake. The mother instructed the people to prepare some pastries and invited the girl to try them. The girl was dressed in a pale blue dress and carried a basket.
She opened the wooden basket and placed delicate pastries on elegant plates.
"Wow!" Xiao Lingran couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Is it all for me?"
"Of course, it's all for girls!"
After Xiao Lingran heard this, his mouth cracked with laughter, and he stretched out his little hand and stretched out his little hand to the basket.
"Oh no! Oh no! β
A hurried sound outside the door interrupted someone's eating, and a young man came running in a hurry, almost stumbling over the doorframe.
"Stinky boy, what are you yelling about, you scared me to death." The girl pinched the young man's ears and scolded fiercely.
"Harm, it's a big deal." The young man was tired and out of breath, swallowed his saliva, and said again.
"It's a big deal, princess, she's ......"
"Alas, you said, you're going to kill me!" The little girl let go of the hand that was pinching her ear.
"Don't worry, you can speak slowly." Xiao Lingran sat there very calmly and ate the pastry.
The world is big, and the food is the biggest......
"Celestial Princess, she's gone!" Finally, the words that were held in my throat came out.
"What!" Xiao Lingran shouted with half a piece of pastry in his mouth.
"When?" The girl asked.
"I don't know, I searched all over this morning and I didn't see the shadow of the eldest princess. Presumably, he ran out at night. β
"Why did she run out?" Xiao Lingran asked.
"It's... I don't know, Yao Lao asked me to come over to pass the word, and Niangniang was about to faint there. The young man frowned and looked worried.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Xiao Lingran stood up and said.
On the other side, inside the princess's house. The fox queen Bai Ying sat in front of the window and stared blankly, the fox emperor was not present, probably to deal with the government. Yao Lao said something on the side, as if he was comforting the fox queen.
"I'm coming!" Xiao Lingran shouted from afar.
"Xiao girl!"
Bai Ying saw Xiao Lingran, ran over with her legs, grabbed her hands, and asked eagerly:
"Miss Xiao, have you seen Tu Luo?" The fox queen's eyes widened and she looked at her solemnly.
"Tu Luo? Oh, you mean the princess, I also heard that she was missing. Xiao Lingran replied.
"Uh...... The fox queen, I called her to help find the princess, we are many and powerful. Yao Lao explained on the side.
"My daughter, my daughter ......" Sakura sat on the edge of the bed, her mouth repeating over and over again.
"Under ...... I will do my best to help you find the princess in the future. Yao Lao comforted.
The fox queen didn't say a word, but still sat there in a daze. Yao Lao waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Lingran to go with him. Xiao Lingran was also very smart, and followed out of the princess's house.
Path outside the door.
"Old man, you said that this princess is about to give birth, what are you doing running around?" Xiao Lingran asked leisurely.
"What do you think?" Yao Lao asked rhetorically.
"Do you think she will be...... I went to find her lover. Xiao Lingran said jokingly.
"......" Yao Lao didn't answer, just looked at her for a few seconds.
"No, it won't! If that's the case......" Xiao Lingran was shocked.
"You girl, nothing else, this kind of thing ......" Yao Lao couldn't laugh and took out a paper book from his sleeve.
"What is this?" Xiao Lingran looked at it.
"This is what I found under the princess's pillow earlier, and she probably guessed that we would go after her." Yao Lao said.
"What did she say?" Xiao Lingran asked.
"As you said, she really went to find that lover in the world. So she ran out overnight. She also said......" Yao Lao sighed and stopped talking.
Xiao Lingran, a person who asks the bottom of the matter, saw him sigh like this, and his whole curiosity came up, and he snatched the letter and read it himself......
"She's almost giving birth, and she's still doing such nonsense. She wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that if she gave birth to a child, that person would fall in love with her. Xiao Ling smacked his tongue.
It turned out that this princess was in love with a mortal by mistake, but that mortal already had a wife, and in the end the princess was defeated. Later, I found out that I was pregnant. She carefully guarded the child in her belly, and still naively thought that as long as she had a child, that man would be with her, even if it was just a ...... Concubine.
Yao Lao sighed and said, "Since ancient times, how many people, demons or immortals, have worshiped under the same love word. β
Xiao Lingran nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing a shout from behind them, the two of them looked back one after another, and it turned out to be Tu Ye.
"I'm going to go with you to find the eldest sister too." Tu Ye said.
"Did you tell your mother?" Xiao Lingran asked.
"I ......" Tu Ye was a little weak-hearted.
"You can't sneak along, do you? You'd better go back quickly, and don't scare your queen mother again. Xiao Lingran waved his hand.
"Don't! My queen mother has fainted, I told the maid next to her, and it is with you, the queen mother will not worry. Tu Ye said.
"Okay then, you just follow Uncle Ben obediently." Xiao Lingran turned his back very dashingly and strode forward.
"You kid ......," Yao Lao sighed.
"Seventh Prince, I don't know if you have any clues?" Yao Lao asked sideways.
"I ...... I think my sister is pregnant, and she slipped away overnight, so she must not have much strength, so she should hide where to rest now. Tu Ye replied.
"Well, that makes sense. However, how do you know that your sister is ......" Yao Lao nodded and asked again.
"I ...... I was last passing by and then accidentally. I just heard it, and I didn't mean to. Tu Ye shook his hand and explained.
"Hmph." Xiao Lingran snorted disdainfully in front of him.
"Alright, no more fuss. Let's hurry up and find the princess. Yao Lao said.
"Seventh Prince, do you know where your sister likes to go on weekdays?"
Tu Ye thought for a while, "The eldest sister doesn't seem to go out to play much." β
Suddenly, something suddenly came to mind, and with a clapping of hands, he replied, "Oh, I remembered!" One day, my sister suddenly said that she wanted to go out for a walk, and I was curious and followed. It turned out that my sister was secretly going to have a tryst with her little couple. β
"Oh?" Xiao Lingran seemed to have heard some gossip, and his ears pricked up.
"After that, they went there as soon as they had a tryst, and she must be there now, right?" Tu Ye replied.
"Well, do you remember the way there?" Yao Lao asked.
"Naturally, I remember, it's not too far away, you just come with me."
"Okay."
