Chapter 260: The Princess Asks
Mother, how long will it be before we get to the land of water? Si Zihuai sat in the carriage bored, so tired that he didn't even bother to raise his head, and his voice was lazy, "Counting today, we have been in the carriage for a day and a night." ”
Red River City is the border of the Water Country, and it is still some distance from there to the Imperial Capital of the Water Country, and it will take at least three days.
Deng Junqi was in the same car as Sinan, as for her identity, she was a friend that Sinan met in Red River City, and Lu Ping didn't suspect it, compared to this Ling Huqing's escape, it was enough to make him feel bad, and he didn't have time to care about Sinan's affairs.
Deng Junqi was also shocked when she saw Si Zihuai, she didn't expect Sinan to have such a big child.
When she saw this child for the first time, she thought it was very cute, with big round black eyes, a fat little face, and an aura that other children did not have, but it was not so cute that anyone could get close to it, it was amazing.
Si Zihuai saw Deng Junqi looking at him, and also looked at the other party, and asked in a milky voice: "I heard my mother say that my sister's house is the imperial capital of the Water Country, can Xiaobao go to my sister's house to eat delicious food when you reach the destination?" I ate dry food every day when I came out of the house, and I was going to vomit. ”
Si Zihuai is the most embarrassed.
"Of course you can!" Deng Junqi agreed, and said with a smile: "My sister's house has a lot of delicious food, you can eat whatever you want, my sister can make it, and there are many delicious things to buy on the street, such as small sugar people, rock sugar gourds, chestnut shortbread, and almond osmanthus cakes, all of which are very delicious!" ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" Si Zihuai smiled stupidly.
After a flicker, the carriage stopped, and there was a knock at the door.
"Miss Sinan, our princess has something to say to you, can you please move to the princess's carriage?" Song Yiyu's personal palace maid Xiao Ji who was standing outside and talking, originally Song Yiyu brought out two henchmen and palace maids, but one of them had died from the previous abduction, and she was already the last cronie of the princess.
Sinan glanced at Deng Junqi and Xiaobao, and told the two of them that they were okay and stayed in the car, so they got into Song Yiyu's carriage with Xiaoji.
In order not to delay the journey, Sinan got into the carriage and continued to move forward.
"Miss Sinan, sit." Song Yiyu was dressed in a light pink Luo skirt, wearing a small jacket, her black hair was slightly draped, and she sat in the carriage dignifiedly, with a kind of gentle atmosphere of everyone's ladies.
This is the first time Sinan has come to the princess's carriage, as soon as you enter the car, you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, it was originally two vases in the corner of the carriage, which were inserted with wild flowers picked at random on the side of the road, and the layout in the carriage was also extraordinarily straight, the soft and silky cushions, and the walls of the carriage were also wrapped in grosgrain, and sure enough, the princess's treatment was different.
Song Yiyu folded her hands, and her voice was a little nervous: "Miss Sinan is my life-saving benefactor, but I have never officially thanked you, I am ashamed to say it, I hope the girl will not blame, I am really unable to do anything after I am in a hurry all day and so many things have happened." ”
Sinan sat unceremoniously on the mat next to Song Yiyu, she waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, not to mention that I entered the palace this time to receive a silver reward, and the princess's kindness has already been repaid, so don't be ashamed." ”
Song Yiyu paused, she paused, looked outside the carriage, Xiao Ji put down the curtain of the carriage, and she said softly: "But you let Ling Huqing go?" ”
It was arranged by Sinan that Linghuqing to meet her that day, and then Linghuqing, who was a thief, disappeared, and she naturally guessed that this matter was related to Sinan.
Sure enough, the latter nodded, "Although he was let go by me, he also secretly followed the team, if the princess wants to see him, it is better to wait until the imperial capital settles down, Lu Ping is worried that he can't catch him now, and the guards are relatively tight, so it is really not suitable to show up now." ”
Hearing this, Song Yiyu hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, Miss Sinan misunderstood, I didn't want to see him, I ......" She bit her lip and avoided Sinan, as if there was something unspeakable.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that the princess has no friendship with Lu Ping, so I won't tell him."
Song Yiyu knew that since Linghu Qingken believed in Sinan and arranged for the two to meet with her hands, Sinan must be trustworthy, she gritted her teeth, and the red clouds on her face gradually rose.
"I ...... I'm not afraid of Miss Sinan's jokes when I say it, in fact...... Actually, I like him. ”
This is him, naturally, Ling Huqing.
Sinan smiled slightly: "I know." ”
Song Yiyu's face turned even redder, "It turns out that you already knew." ”
Sinan couldn't help but smile on her face, she knew when she first saw the two of them!
"It's just ......" Song Yiyu frowned, twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and said sadly: "Our matter, the father and the queen mother do not agree." ”
She sighed: "The Linghu clan is a big clan in the country of water, so the ancestor of the clan is the great grandmaster of Biyun Shui, and Ling Huqing's father is an important minister in the court, and he is very favored by the royal family. ”
"Then the emperor should want you to be together." Sinan said that since ancient times, the royal family and important ministers have formed an alliance in the form of in-laws to consolidate the stability of the imperial court, whether it is in modern times or in the Yanwu Continent, it should be a very practical trick.
"However, Ling Huqing can't do it." Song Yiyu paused and sighed, "Ling Huqing, he is his father's illegitimate son. ”
Sinan was surprised.
Song Yiyu was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Ling Huqing's mother is very beautiful, I had the honor to see her once, I think she is the most beautiful woman in the entire water country, to put it mildly, even my mother, who was named the first beauty in the country of water, will be overshadowed in front of her, but such a woman is the daughter of the general of the enemy country, so Ling Huqing's father dare not recognize it, and he can't recognize him as a son." ”
"That year, the two countries were at war, Ling Hu Qing's father Ling Hu Zhong was ordered to go to the battlefield, at that time, the northern territory of the Water Country was in danger, the country suffered from drought, and the food supply on the front line was insufficient, many people had no hope for this battlefield, but Ling Hu Zhong turned the tide and defeated the other party with less resistance and more."
"The enemy general thought that he had no face to be the enemy emperor, so he killed himself, but he didn't know that his youngest daughter also secretly came to the battlefield, and her daughter saw her father commit suicide with her own eyes, and the army general was captured, and she was resentful and prepared to assassinate Ling Huzhong."
Song Yiyu smiled: "But the little woman, even if she has a little martial arts, the assassination will naturally fail, and she was caught by the soldiers of the Water Country before she got close to Ling Huzhong...... It's hunger and thirst. ”
Song Yiyu couldn't speak, blushing and whispering: "They are preparing to give her to ...... When he gave that something, Ling Huzhong appeared, saved Ling Huqing's mother, and settled her in his own tent, but he didn't touch her, maybe it surprised Ling Huqing's mother. ”
"After that, Ling Hu Zhong took this woman to sweep away the remnants of the enemy country, but she always treated her as if she was a maid, and the two had feelings after coming and going, and Ling Hu Qing's mother became pregnant."
She hooked the corners of her lips, smiled a little helplessly, and laughed at herself, "But the daughter of the enemy general and his father-killing enemy have a child, and the fate of this child is destined to be tragic, Ling Hu Zhong did not think of hiding this woman's identity and marrying home, but Ling Hu was loyal and patriotic in the era of the Ling Hu clan, he couldn't do such a thing, so he could only arrange this woman into the mountains after returning to China, until Ling Hu Qing was born." ”
For Ling Hu Zhong, this child is his shame, reminding him all the time that he used to have dealings with people from enemy countries, he once violated the will of the family, he had no face to be the emperor, and he had no face to face his wife and children at home, so he was ...... to Ling Huqing It's destined to be unloved. ”
Sinan saw that Song Yiyu had tears in the corners of her eyes, I saw pity, this kind of delicate beauty was really distressing when she cried, Sinan was afraid that she would be sad, and she also knew that she was not good at comforting people, so she asked: "Later, how did you and Ling Huqing meet?" ”
Song Yiyu suddenly came back to his senses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said: "Ling Huzhong let Ling Huqing be his eldest son's companion and sparring partner in the martial arts field, and he barely entered the mansion, but with such an identity, how could Ling Huqing endure it, but in order to protect his mother and have enough strength to compete with his father, he had to swallow his anger and endure humiliation. ”
"As for me and him......" Song Yiyu's voice was stunned, his face turned red, and his voice was much lower, "I met him at a palace banquet, he followed Ling Hu Zhong into the palace, and mistakenly broke into the back garden, and thought I was a little palace maid delivering vegetables and I thought he was a little eunuch in the palace, so I met, and then he was arranged by Ling Hu Zhong to enter the palace as a guard, and we knew each other." ”
Only when he said this, Song Yiyu had an expression on his face, this delicate drip, as if Lin Daiyu's beauty was vivid, "We have love, but we have no fate, he is an illegitimate child, and I am a princess, and it is destined to be impossible to be together." Miss Sinan is not afraid of your jokes, I am a princess who has no pursuits, even if my future husband is a wilderness village husband, as long as I love him, I am willing to marry, glory and wealth or something, I am really not rare. ”
Sinan nodded, she believed that this was true, because she had never seen a princess of a big country who didn't even have a decent golden hairpin jade ornament on her.
She smiled, "I don't think the princess called me here today to talk about her suffering." ”
"That's right, Miss Sinan." Song Yiyu paused and pursed her lips slightly, "You and I don't know each other, if you don't save me, I'm a stranger at all, but Yiyu still wants to be cheeky and beg you, please help me, I really don't want to be separated from Ling Huqing like this." ”
Sinan raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you say this?" ”
She let out a long sigh, "Ling Huqing rarely trusts people, he usually speaks little, and even the people around him who believe the most have never really been close to him, but I can feel that he is different from you, and he believes in you very much." ”
"So...... I also believe in your person, and I believe in your ability! ”
