As soon as Du Xiaomeng opened her sleepy eyes, she saw Yu Xiaorui standing in front of the bed, and her smiling little face was almost on her face.

As soon as she saw Du Xiaomeng wake up, Yu Xiaorui immediately jumped on the bed, a pair of chubby little hands propped up on the quilt, blinked her round eyes and said in a long voice: "Sister Xiaomeng, I brought someone to see you." ”

Yu Xiaorui's appearance made Du Xiaomeng couldn't help laughing, she sat up and asked with interest, "Who did Xiao Xiaorui bring?" ”

"Guess what." Yu Xiaorui shook her head mischievously and said mysteriously, her eyes crooked.

Du Xiaomeng pretended to think seriously for a while, then frowned and shook his head and said, "I can't guess." ”

Yu Xiaorui said proudly: "Sister Xiaomeng, wait a minute, I'll bring people in." ”

She quickly climbed out of bed and ran out, so fast that the two plain and steady maids couldn't help but shout: "Little county lord, slow down!" ”

Soon, Yu Xiaorui pulled a person and walked back quickly.

After seeing who the person was, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but sigh for a moment, does she have the ability to make her wishes come true now? Whoever you want to see, you appear.

Yu Xiaorui pushed the person towards Du Xiaomeng, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Sister Xiaomeng, I brought Aunt Xiao to you!" ”

With that, she stepped aside and gave up her place in front of the bed.

Lin Xinru was pulled into the house by Yu Xiaorui in a hurry, she was pushed to the bed before she could see what the environment was in the house, and when she came back to her senses, she only saw Du Xiaomeng half-lying on the bed.

Seeing that Du Xiaomeng had obviously lost weight, her spirit was sluggish and her face was bloodless, Lin Xinru couldn't help but feel choked in her throat. Her eyes were red and her eyes were full of tears, she rushed over and grabbed Du Xiaomeng's hands, and asked anxiously, "Xiang'er, how did you make it like this?" What happened? ”

Du Xiaomeng smiled back casually and said, "It's okay, it's okay, miss, don't be nervous." ”

Lin Xinru clenched her hand tightly, stared at her face and said anxiously: "I heard from others that His Royal Highness brought you back to the palace, and also said that you are very sick, and even the royal doctor with the most skilled medicine skills in the palace has been invited by His Royal Highness to treat you specifically!" If so, how did you become the way you are? ”

"Miss, aren't I fine now?" Du Xiaomeng gently patted the back of Lin Xinru's hand, then changed the topic and said, "I haven't seen you in the palace for these days, and I thought that you and your uncle had hidden somewhere to avoid chaos and hadn't come back." ”

Du Xiaomeng didn't worry too much about the safety of Lin Xinru and Xiao Gongzi. Although Lin Xinru and Xiao Gongzi are working in the Rui Palace, the two of them only rotate in the palace during the day, and they go back to their homes to sleep at night. And Yu Tianjun launched a coup d'état at night, and they were not in the palace at that time, so they should not be too implicated.

Hearing Du Xiaomeng ask like this, Lin Xinru's face changed significantly. She said with palpitations: "When the third prince suddenly sent troops to surround the Rui Palace, Xianggong and I were not in the palace. By the time we learned of the accident in the palace the next day, the streets were already full of armed northern barbarians. When Xiang Cheng was about to go to the palace to find out, Uncle Gu from the account office rushed to tell us that when the soldiers broke into the Rui Wangfu, they searched the entire palace and could not find any trace of the old housekeeper and the ladies, and the third prince gave an order to search the whole city. After hearing this, Xianggong felt that it would be safer to hide elsewhere for the time being, so we ran to Liulipo and hid, until we heard that His Royal Highness and General Zhan led troops into the capital to rescue the emperor and quell the rebellion. ”

Lin Xinru paused, raised her eyes to look at Du Xiaomeng, and continued, "I also returned to the palace a few days ago. As soon as I came back, I heard about you, I was so worried that I wanted to come to see you immediately, but Ming Jingxuan is the residence of His Royal Highness, and ordinary subordinates are not allowed to step in half a step without permission. Fortunately, the little lord is willing to help, so I can come in and see you. ”

Yu Xiaorui, who had been standing obediently on the side without disturbing the two of them, heard Lin Xinru talk about herself, she couldn't help but jump on the bed and sit on the edge of the bed and squeeze between the two, and interjected: "Sister Xiaomeng, I saw Aunt Xiao walking around outside and didn't dare to come in, so I brought her to see you, am I very well-behaved?" ”

Du Xiaomeng touched her head and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiaorui is the most well-behaved!" When my sister's health is better, I will take you out to eat rock sugar gourd. ”

"Really?" Yu Xiaorui blinked her round eyes, happily raised her little finger in front of Du Xiaomeng, and said, "Let's pull the hook!" ”

Du Xiaomeng stretched out her little finger and hooked it with Yu Xiaorui.

Lin Xinru, who was watching them, couldn't help but smile. She looked up and casually glanced to the side, only to see that there were other people in the room. When she saw the faces of the two people in the room, the smile on her face froze. She hurriedly let go of Du Xiaomeng's hand and stood up, bowing her head very solemnly and shouting respectfully to the two maidservants: "Miss Jing, Miss Xia." ”

Seeing Lin Xinru's discomfort, Du Xiaomeng was about to find some excuse to send Meijing and Xia Yu away, but Meijing took the first step towards her and said, "Miss Du, the slave maid has to go to see if the medicine is decoctioned, let Xiaoru stay here for a while, is it okay?" ”

This empathetic approach is exactly what Du Xiaomeng wants. She nodded lightly and said, "Yes, no problem." ”

Meijing glanced at Xia Yu, who turned around and walked out. Meijing glanced at Yu Xiaorui and said, "Little county lord, have you completed all the homework that the master gave you today?" ”

"Ahh Yu Xiaorui screamed, patted her head and made a little face and said, "I almost forgot!" The Master wants me to copy the ancient poems I have learned today three times, and I will recite them to him tomorrow! Sister Xiaomeng, I'm going back to copy ancient poems! ”

After saying that, Yu Xiaorui quickly jumped off the bed and hurriedly ran out.

"Little county lord, slow down! The ground is slippery, don't run too fast! Meijing went out with Yu Xiaorui, shouting uneasily.

Du Xiaomeng pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, heard the footsteps walking farther and farther, and then quieted down outside and couldn't hear any other sounds. After making sure that the three of them had really left, Du Xiaomeng withdrew his attention from the outside.

Lin Xinru didn't notice Du Xiaomeng's actions, she only breathed a sigh of relief for the beautiful scenery and Xia Yu's departure, as if she had put down her burden. She turned around and said to Du Xiaomeng: "Xiang'er, Miss Jing and Miss Xia have won the trust of His Royal Highness, and their status in the palace is similar to that of the old housekeeper, and all the ladies have to respect them." They usually don't have to serve people, and Your Highness specially asked them to serve you, which is enough to see how close Your Highness is to you, and you are far more important in Your Highness's heart than other ladies. ”

These words made Du Xiaomeng's heart tighten. She has been deliberately not allowing herself to think about a question these days, and that question is: why does Yu Tianzheng treat her so well.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that Yu Tianzheng treated her well and took care of her meticulously, not as simple as making amends for her sin. Yu Tianzheng said before that he would wait for her, no matter how long it was. He was waiting now, waiting for her heart, waiting for her answer.

She didn't let herself think about it, it was an escape, and Lin Xinru's unintentional words reminded her that now that she had reached this point, she should face it and solve this problem.

Thinking of this matter, Du Xiaomeng suddenly felt inexplicably heavy. She looked down at her hand that lay flat on the quilt, and her thoughts were full of thoughts.

Lin Xinru continued to look at herself and said: "After the death of the princess, His Royal Highness made proper arrangements for the personal maids around the princess, originally His Royal Highness had already taken off the slavery for Miss Jing and Miss Xia, returned them to freedom and found a good marriage partner for them, but the two girls asked His Royal Highness to keep a vigil for the princess for three years to repay the princess's kindness. His Royal Highness agreed to their request, and let them stay in the palace to guard the princess's spirit, take care of the place where the princess lived during her lifetime, and let them assist the old butler in managing the palace of the princess while they were away on the expedition......"

Hearing something related to Princess Rui, Du Xiaomeng regained her senses, interrupted Lin Xinru's words and asked, "Miss, how much do you know about Princess Rui?"

Lin Xinru was stunned by this sudden question. After a while, she frowned and said, "When I first entered the palace, I heard an old mother say that when His Royal Highness is in the palace, everyone should try to avoid talking about the princess, especially in front of His Royal Highness. Therefore, I don't know much about the princess, I only know that His Royal Highness loves the princess very much, because the princess likes to listen to the rain, and His Royal Highness specially ordered a skilled craftsman to build the Yicui Listening to the Rain Pavilion as the residence of the princess before marrying the princess. It is said that after the death of the princess, His Royal Highness, who was obsessed with the princess, painted a number of lifelike portraits and hung them in the Yicui Listening to the Rain Pavilion to see the paintings and think about people. ”

Hearing this, Du Xiaomeng's heart lit up and asked, "Where is Yicui Tingyu Pavilion?" Is the portrait of Princess Rui still in there? ”

Lin Xinru replied truthfully: "Go out from Mingjingxuan and walk to the right for about a hundred meters." As for the portrait of the princess, I heard that when the palace was surrounded and searched, Miss Jing and Miss Xia hid the important items in the Yicui Tingyu Pavilion in time, so they should have hidden the portrait of the princess first. As she spoke, she glanced at Du Xiaomeng suspiciously, "Xiang'er, why did you suddenly ask about this?" You don't want to go there, do you? No! In order to preserve the things related to the princess, Yicui Tingyu Pavilion usually only allows Miss Jing and Miss Xia to go in and take care of them, and the others are strictly forbidden to step into it for half a step. ”

Du Xiaomeng raised her eyes and said lightly: "Who said I wanted to go, I was just curious to ask." ”

That's right, Du Xiaomeng is curious, but what she thinks in her heart is definitely not as simple as what she said just to ask the next one. After listening to Lin Xinru's simple statement, the words "Yicui Listening to the Rain Pavilion" have been deeply imprinted in her mind, arousing her even stronger curiosity.

Yi Cui listened to the portrait of Princess Rui in the rain pavilion, and everything that Princess Rui used during her lifetime. If you want to know more about Princess Rui, it is definitely a place not to be missed.
