Chapter 169: A Moment of Trance
In Prince Gong's mansion, Zhen was already sitting in the courtyard, with freshly brewed flower tea in his hand, and a few small dried buds floating on the reddish tea surface.
Zhen picked up and put the cup down, picked it up and put it down, and kept looking at the courtyard gate not far in front of him.
"Haven't the prince and the prince returned from the palace yet?" Zhen seemed to muttered to himself, "Keeping the scriptures for the emperor should be over when the time comes." ”
"Back to the princess," the maidservant on the side said softly, "There is news from the palace just now, saying that the emperor specially instructed the prince and the prince not to see each other after observing the scriptures, and to find a place unknown to others to sit quietly for a while." Otherwise, the immortal power on the two of them will be fierce, and it will be easy to hurt the body. ”
The princess made no comment, but continued to look quietly in the direction of the courtyard.
But there was no sign of a husband or a son there.
She looked up at the sky, and finally stood up, "Forget it, don't wait, I have to go to renew the longevity lamp for the prince and the prince today, I can't miss the hour...... Are the carriages and horses ready? ”
"It's ready." The maid replied immediately.
The princess pondered for a moment, and said to the maid on the side, "Xiaoqing, you don't have to accompany me to Donglin Temple today, there are some things I originally wanted to wait for the prince to come back and tell him in person, but now it seems that it is too late." Tell me a word. ”
"Okay, princess, please speak."
The princess sighed lightly, "The first thing is to ask him not to run around Fu'an Garden recently, let alone think about taking Hu Lu out for a walk...... Their family is now a frightened bird, and before the meaning of the palace is clear, let them hide in the mansion and don't go out to show their heads again. ”
Xiaoqing nodded and motioned for herself to write it down.
"The second thing, when he comes back, let him go to the West Market as soon as possible, I estimate that Jinyiwei raided the house this time, and the people should still put it in that area to buy and sell again, if you can buy back a few old ladies and ladies who served the Hu family in the past, it would be great."
Xiaoqing thought for a while, "Why wait for the prince to come back, the slave will send someone to the West Market now-"
"No, no, this matter can only be done by the prince himself." The princess looked at Xiaoqing, "The Hu family is personally punished by the emperor, and the prince going to pick up people and return to the house overnight is already a small refutation of the emperor's face, and the prince can no longer be considerate in this kind of trivial matter." The prince is young, attaches great importance to friendship, and grew up with Hu Lu, only if he does it himself, he will not fall into any tricks. ”
Xiaoqing suddenly realized.
The princess sighed, "Let him go by himself, otherwise he will be suffocated in the past two days." ”
"The slave and maid understand."
“…… You go and talk to those girls and mothers-in-law in Fu'an Yuan in private, this family is the guest of my palace, and you can't be slacking off in the slightest. If anyone secretly doesn't take them as masters, you can also keep an eye on them. ”
"Don't worry, princess, the slave understands."
"I'll think about it again...... Zhen raised his eyes, looked at the ground in front of him with a slight frown, and said for a long time, "Well, there should be nothing else."
She pursed her lips slightly.
Lately, I feel as if I've overlooked something important, and I'm feeling restless for no reason.
What the hell is going on...?
……
"I'm almost leaving." In the imperial garden, the prince raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and slightly estimated the time in his heart, "Anyway...... Thank you today. ”
Bai Lingwan gladly accepted the son's thanks.
Shizi looked at the girl sitting in the falling flowers in front of him, he didn't notice it before, but now he found that her expression was always light and breezy, different from those restrained little jasper, or the arrogant family girl, this kind of expression reminded people of the jade with a warm texture and a dark stream with still water and deep flow...... Or something else that calms people's minds.
"Master Cheng?" Bai Ling saw that he was looking at himself a little distracted, and shouted softly.
Shizi came back to his senses, and then realized that he had almost lost his mind for this girl's laughter.
He immediately frowned. Standing up, he slapped the petals on his shoulders neatly, "Then, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye."
He turned and walked out of the rockery.
"That's right." Halfway through the journey, Shizi suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Ling seriously, "Don't forget what I said to you last time." ”
"What?"
"Don't be alone that night when you see the Anhu Flower Viewing Party."
The tone in which he said this was meaningful, and the gaze that looked at Bai Ling was also different from before.
Bai Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and then watched the prince go away.
She smiled thoughtfully, she would definitely not be alone, but the prince mentioned this matter three times and twice, which made her a little curious - if she was really alone, what would happen?
That will only be known then.
On this day, Bai Ling once again wrote down the records of the previous days of consultation with the concubine in the Imperial Garden, and then she took all the books in the next place, and finally swept the other book sent by Fourteen before dark.
Throughout the day, except for the visit of the prince in the early morning, no one bothered him. Bai Ling sat alone, feeling like a fully charged battery, and even on the way back to Chengqian Palace that night, he couldn't help but hum a little song gently.
"Cypress." Two familiar voices suddenly came from behind him, and Bai Ling turned around, only to find that it was Rouge and Chu Lan.
Chu Lan had already trotted towards Bai Ling, and Rouge had quickened her pace, still walking with grace.
"Why are you here?" Bai Ling looked in the direction behind them and asked with some suspicion, "It can't be that you just came back from Chuxiu Palace, right?" ”
"Yes......" Chu Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied in a slightly panicked voice, "There was a delay in the Guangchu Division in the morning, so it was already afternoon when we went to Chuxiu Palace...... Lin Jieyu is not in the palace. ”
"That's right." Bai Ling nodded, "Did you give all the gifts?" ”
"You can rest assured that the medicine is very good, we must have delivered the gift before coming back." Rouge was already standing behind Chu Lan at this time, "It's just that she waited until the evening, Lin Jieyu didn't come back, and the people in her palace refused to tell us where she went." ”
"Is that okay?" Chu Lan looked at Bai Ling with a little fear.
"Yes." Bai Ling looked at Chu Lan and blinked, "...... I didn't say in the morning that you had to give it to her in person, as long as the things were delivered. ”
Rouge raised her eyebrows slightly and gently bumped Chu Lan's shoulder, "I said it, right?" ”
Chu Lan sighed as if she had met amnesty, "...... That's good, I, I've always been afraid that Si Yao will be unhappy. ”
"Let's go back and rest, change our clothes and eat." Bai Ling gently flicked Chu Lan's wrinkled collar, "It's hard work today." ”
Chu Lan was a little flattered and stalked her neck, Bai Ling smiled, had to withdraw her hand, and slowly walked back with them.
"Where are you all from?" Bai Ling looked ahead and asked seemingly nonchalantly.
Chu Lan looked at Bai Ling and replied in a low voice, "The slave maid is from He County, the capital of Huizhou. ”
"Huizhou, that feels not far away." Bai Ling looked at Rouge, "What about you?" ”
Rouge smiled, "The slave's family is in Linxia County, Wucheng, Zhuozhou...... A small place, Bai Siyao probably hasn't heard of it. ”
Bai Ling was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "What a coincidence, I know this place." ”
