Chapter 5 meets again

Feeling as if she had heard of this word somewhere, she didn't have time to think about it when sleepiness hit, so she stuffed the money bag under the mattress, touched the bulging piece of the mattress with her hand, and closed her eyes with a sweet smile on her face.

The sound of small footsteps came from outside the door again, this time it was two people, and they stopped at her door.

Zhao Youling closed her eyes, her ears and eyes were still aware.

"If you really doubt her, why don't we go to Shen Gongzi to report to the official at dawn?"

The woman's voice was small, and her tone was full of worry. No one replied to her, presumably the other party nodded in agreement or was thinking. The footsteps sounded again, one went to the bridge, and the other went back to the earroom to close the door.

Xiangxiu discussed with someone to send her to the official?

Zhao Youling grinned, feeling that this big girl's mind was too heavy.

Xiangxiu had to plan for her future. She is already twenty years old, and originally from the age of eighteen to the age of leaving the mansion, her wife can be matched to leave the mansion to obtain a free body.

Mrs. Gao liked her clever appearance and delicate thoughts, and she was an old man who grew up in the palace and knew her roots, leaving her and Xiangqiao a few big maids, and specially invited the palace grandmother to come over to teach them.

Although Mrs. Gao did not say it explicitly, several big girls knew in their hearts that Mrs. Gao wanted to cultivate them to serve the prince in the future, make a room for the prince, and spread the branches and leaves for the heirs of the palace.

But even if he is accepted by the prince, his identity is still a slave after all, unless he can give birth to a son and a half daughter and raise his identity, he still can't sit on an equal footing with the side room.

If you let a girl of unknown origin who lives in the wing room make a side room for the son, her heart is not solid after all. Xiangqiao was right, when it was dawn, he would go to the Zhenguo Mansion to find the prince Shen Zhao to verify, he would definitely be able to find out Zhao Youling's identity.

Xiangxiu got up before dawn, she pushed open the door and found that someone had gotten up earlier than her.

Zhao Youling stood on the stone bridge and teased the golden fish in the pool, and after a while, he raised the dim sum crumbs in his hand under the bridge, watched the fish compete to eat it, and then raised the next handful.

The door of the wing room was open, and Xiangxiu remembered Mrs. Gao's instructions to serve Zhao Youling well, since Zhao Youling got up earlier than her, she had to go into the house to help Zhao Youling clean up the house.

After tidying up the items, I folded the quilt and received it into the bed tent, feeling that the palm of my hand was caught by something. Lifted the mattress and picked up the money bag, and when she saw the Zhao characters embroidered on the money bag, Xiangxiu was so shocked that her heart fluttered.

Isn't this the money bag of Shen Zhao, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, how could it fall into the hands of Zhao Youling?

Yes! Xiangqiao suddenly realized, hurriedly put the money bag into the sleeve cage, walked out quickly, and saw that Zhao Youling was still standing on the bridge to play with the fish, she hurriedly said that she was going to go back to Mrs. Gao, and went to the back house to see Mrs. Gao without looking back.

The crumbs in his hand were all thrown away, and Zhao Youling clapped his hands.

On dog days, the morning breeze was hot, she untied the collar of her newly changed lemon yellow cloud smoke shirt, reached out and touched the jade plate hanging on her neck, cool and smooth, and her heart was calm.

Estimating that it was time for the kitchen to open at this time, she straightened her collar and walked towards the kitchen. In the morning, looking for cooking cigarettes, she went to the kitchen to ask for a pack of overnight cold steamed buns, which will come again and the two mothers-in-law in the kitchen are already acquainted.

"Miss Zhao shouldn't eat here, Mrs. Gao arranged for you to live in the Lingyun Pavilion wing, she must be a girl like a daughter."

The mother-in-law who spoke smiled and winked at the other mother-in-law, overnight, the whole palace knew that Mrs. Gao had fallen in love with a beautiful woman to the prince who had not yet returned, and she would wait for the prince to come back and accomplish good things.

"It's the same everywhere, I'll eat with you more lively."

Zhao Youling sat among the cooks and picked up chopsticks without disgust, and someone hurriedly put rice porridge in front of her.

The prince was sent out to learn art at the age of two, returned to the house at the age of twelve to serve the princess in front of the sickbed, and entered the north at the age of fourteen to fight on the border under the banner of King Huai. Three years ago, King Huai was recalled to the capital to serve in the court, and the safety of the north was all on the son Mu Hanchi.

Now the turmoil in the north has subsided, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The servants of the palace are looking forward to the prince coming back to serve King Huai, which also makes the palace more angry.

Of course, I look forward to the son marrying a wife as soon as possible, giving birth to a few more children, and the children and grandchildren of King Huai will be happy, and the sick body will recover.

"Miss Zhao, our lady invites you to the front hall for dinner."

Zhao Youling was about to move her chopsticks, and a big girl came to the kitchen door to pass the word, she still wanted to be polite, and the maid Xiangqiao puffed out her face and said:

"Madame invites you to have dinner and has something to ask you, if you don't go, then Madame has to come in person."

Zhao Youling felt that Mrs. Gao was so enthusiastic, how could she be embarrassed to let the family come to invite her in person, she put down her chopsticks and said goodbye to the cooks, and pinched out a small piece of silver from her waist.

Those who eat and drink others have to pay for them.

Several cooks saw Zhao Youling rewarding them again, and they were so happy that they said, "I've already rewarded it in the morning, so why don't you want the girl to reward it again." ”

Zhao Youling had already followed Xiangqiao towards the front hall of the palace.

"What's my sister's name?"

"The girl doesn't dare to call it that, the slave maid is cheap."

"Sister Xiangqiao, did you go to Sister Xiangxiu's house last night?"

“……”

Xiangqiao's footsteps froze.

She deliberately chose a quiet hour to talk to Xiangxiu, but she was still discovered by Zhao Youling!

I don't know if what He Xiangxiu said in front of Zhao Youling's door last night was heard.

Thinking of this layer of incense, Qiao's expression changed color.

"The girl must have made a mistake, the slave went to bed early last night."

"Well, I heard that I was going to report to the official, and I don't know who made a mistake."

Zhao Youling was thoughtful.

"The people in our palace have always behaved themselves, how can they report to the officials."

Xiangqiao immediately decided to die and refused to admit it. As long as she can lead this flying thief to the front hall to be disposed of by Mrs. Gao, she will be considered a bad deal.

Xiangqiao quickened her pace.

Zhao Youling was very sure that she recognized Xiangqiao's footsteps and her voice, but people didn't want to admit it, and she wouldn't insist on asking.

Zhao Youling and Xiangqiao walked to the door of the flower hall, and a little maid had already entered to pay attention to Mrs. Minggao.

Hearing that Zhao Youling had arrived, Mrs. Gao pinched the sweat towel and pressed the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, as if she wanted to brush away the doubts in her stomach.

She could be sure that the money bag that Xiangxiu found from Zhao Youling's room belonged to Shen Zhao, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Shen Zhao is a romantic person, but all the beauties who catch his eye will be brought back to the mansion for private collection. Zhao Youling is young and beautiful, and it would not be unusual if Shen Zhao took a fancy to her and brought her back to the mansion. But I have never heard that the beauty who was brought back to the house by Shen Zhao would run away privately.

Xiangxiu and Xiangqiao both said that this girl was a flying thief, and it seemed very likely.

Thinking about it now, it is very likely that Zhao Youling stole Shen Zhao's silver taels and sneaked out of the Zhenguo Mansion last night, and fell into the courtyard of the Huai Wang's Mansion in a desperate way. As for Zhao Youling's statement that Miss Fifth and Mrs. Wang competed for Mrs. Tai's embroidered clothes, I am afraid that she overheard it when she was lurking and stealing.

Mrs. Gao raised her gaze and watched Zhao Youling walk in front of her like a lotus. sighed in my heart, I am afraid that such a good-looking girl will not be able to stay in Huaiwangfu anymore.

The cuigai and zhu yingjin car came out of the Huaiwang Mansion and drove through the East Street and then towards the South Street.

Zhao Youling lifted the curtains and looked curiously at the street scene outside.

"It's hot outside, so it's better to close the curtain and cool down."

Mrs. Gao shook the incense fan and handed Zhao Youling a fan casually.

"Is Madame's friend far away?"

Mrs. Gao wants to meet a friend, and she is Mrs. Gao's company, so she naturally has to follow. It's just that she doesn't understand that Mrs. Gao has two big maids to accompany her, why do she want to follow her. However, it is also a pleasure to accompany Mrs. Gao, sitting in the carriage not only has a little heart and fruit, but also can watch the scenery outside.

"Don't rush to eat slowly."

Looking at Zhao Youling's beautiful eyes when she was eating pastries, she seemed to see that when she was not out of the cabinet, her brother gave her the treasure lion cat Xuetuan'er, which was very smart and cute, and Mrs. Gao really didn't want to associate her with the flying thief. But if she hides this girl and her nephew as concubines, if the people of the Zhenguo Mansion know about it in the future, I am afraid that she will have a grudge, and Mrs. Gao will not allow such a thing to happen.

After a while, when I arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, if Mrs. Tai knew about it, I am afraid that she would not have to send Zhao Youling to report to the official, and she would be killed directly by the cane, Mrs. Gao didn't want there to be a misunderstanding between the two families, but she didn't want such a good child to be gone.

Even if this girl really stole Shen Zhao's money bag, she would not be guilty of death. If there are endless strife and wars today, how many people are displaced and living a difficult life, this girl must also be a poor person.

"Madame, won't you eat a little?"

Zhao Youling looked at Mrs. Gao with big eyes.

Mrs. Gao smiled and shook her head.

Zhao Youling took out a piece of broken silver from her waist and handed it to Mrs. Gao.

"This is the money for the lady's refreshment."

"Huh?"

"I can't eat Madame's good things for nothing."

Zhao Youling felt that the dim sum that Mrs. Gao gave her was too delicious, and it should be worth a lot of silver. It's just that she only took out three pieces of broken silver from her money bag in the morning and stuffed them into her waist, originally to exchange the silver for three meals a day. Two grains were given to the cooks, and now only one can be given to Mrs. Gao. She didn't expect the money to be so unspent.

Hearing Zhao Youling say this, Mrs. Gao's heart turned a hundred times again.

I didn't complain in my heart that Xiangqiao and Xiangxiu were coming, even if she found out about the money bag, she should secretly report it to her, how could so many people in the palace know about it, forcing her to send people out.

Mrs. Gao sent a small servant to the Zhenguo Mansion in advance to send a post, but the Wang family didn't expect Mrs. Gao to come so early, she had just had breakfast and was talking to Shen Rongzi in the hall.

"Rongzi, you should avoid it."

Wang pressed the hairpin ring on his head and looked at the hall door.

Shen Rongzi was grounded by her grandmother Mrs. Tai for two months, and it was rare to see a living person, and it was Mrs. Gao of Huaiwang's Mansion who would come, she was reluctant to go, she deliberately walked out slowly, walked to the door, and met Mrs. Gao who entered the door, and ......

Seeing Zhao Youling wearing a new dress, Shen Rongzi's little face suddenly turned green, and her footsteps stood in place, chasing Zhao Youling's figure until Zhao Youling noticed her.
