11. On the eve of the wedding
"Here, I've got something for you both." Linghu called Xiuying and Fang Ling over, looking at a pile of things and the two of them were dazzled. "Come, you two pick two hairpins, and you can also pick two for Aunt Zhao. Choose two more pieces of cloth, measure the size, and send them to Yunxiazhuang to make two sets of clothes. Fang Ling and Xiu Ying picked two good silk and took them, the two of them were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, how could a girl not love beauty, if the spirit fox did not live in such an environment of life and death, she would also be as happy as an ordinary little girl, dress up and go shopping with good friends. But fate can't choose, what can be done is to work hard to change the bad environment to live a better life.
"Miss, someone will come to the palace today to teach you etiquette, and now that Chang Mama is already waiting in the front hall. You see if you want to go now. "Treading Xue saw that Miss was back, and immediately came over and asked." Oh? Since we are from the palace, how can we be lazy, let's go, let's go and have a look. "Linghu really doesn't like to learn any etiquette in his heart, but the person who can be sent to teach must be an old man in the palace, if he is offended, he is afraid that he will inevitably hate himself in the future. Even if you pretend, you have to take care of the face of others.
Linghu followed the snow to the front yard, and saw a woman in her forties standing in the main hall, "You are Mama Chang, I'm really sorry, Jing Shu just took the maid out to buy some things, I didn't know that Mama Chang would come to the house today, so Mama Chang waited for a long time." Linghu's humble attitude made Mama Chang take a new look at this rumored Miss Xiangfu's daughter, as rumored, not only the country's beauty, but also knowledgeable, much better than the somewhat arrogant and domineering Miss, "Where is it, Miss Gui is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is the princess of the Holy Lord, how dare the slave dare to complain." "Linghu's words are somewhat useful, which makes Mama Chang complain a little less in her heart." Stepping on the snow, why doesn't Mama Chang come to serve tea, is it true that the Prime Minister teaches you to snub guests on weekdays, it seems that I really spoil you on weekdays. "Linghu found that there was not even a cup of hot tea in the house, and he was a little annoyed, he really spoiled these maids." Please Miss calm her anger, it is the slave's fault, the slave and the maid were negligent for a while, and neglected the guest, please punish the lady. "The first time I saw my own lady angry, I was a little scared, so I immediately knelt down and asked for punishment." In this case, you will be fined a month's salary. "Walking on the snow for a while, this is the end? Seeing that the young lady was angry, I thought that the young lady would punish her severely. "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and prepare tea?" Linghu saw that Taxue was still kneeling there, and raised his voice. "Yes, slave and maid will go." Treading snow quickly retreated. "This person is negligent in discipline, it really makes you see a joke, please take a seat." Linghu made a gesture of please, and Mama Chang sat down.
"Miss doesn't have to be so polite, the slave maid is just here to teach etiquette by order, I don't know when it started?" Chang Mama didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the topic. "In this case, after Mama Chang drinks this tea, she can start." Linghu wanted to start early and finish things early. Mama Chang nodded and tasted the tea, "The slave is a rough person who has never drunk any good tea, but she can also taste that this tea is definitely not ordinary tea, I don't know what kind of tea it is." "Mama Chang has never seen any tea in the palace, but the aroma of this tea is a little different. "This tea was personally selected by our young lady, but the best Wuyi rock tea, and the water used to make this tea is also the lotus dew picked by our young lady herself, which naturally tastes different." The snow on the side has been waiting for this tea to come, and he said proudly when he heard this. "Just you talk a lot." Linghu whispered softly, where there was a meaning of blame. "Yes, yes, miss, it's the slave who talks a lot." Tayuki knew that the young lady didn't mean to blame, so she also laughed. Mama Chang can also see that it is common for the master and servant to quarrel, and Miss Xiao is also approachable when she thinks about it.
Now that the tea has been drunk, it's time to get into the subject. Linghu learned with Chang Mama, Chang Mama didn't expect that the plan to study for a week was greatly shortened, and she could return to the palace tomorrow after that. She really didn't expect this. Once Linghu gets serious, there is really nothing that can stump her.
Linghu returned to the dormitory, this ancient time is really not for everyone to stay. What kind of etiquette, it's really tiring. "Jingshu, I'm tired of a day. I've put the bath water away, go wash it up. Fang Ling saw the exhaustion on the face of the spirit fox. Well, that's over. Linghu got up and walked over. Hey, it's so comfortable to take a hot bath. "Linghu's fatigue was relieved a lot in an instant.
It's really a lot of toss today. Linghu sighed and lay on the bed, never wondering who the person from the Xuanying Pavilion was, how could he know his identity? It will take a long time to get this blood vine whip, but when will it be before you know the answer you want? The spirit fox tossed and turned and had difficulty sleeping. I got up and put on my coat and went out, walked two steps, sat on the steps and looked at the starry sky in the sky, I hadn't sat under such a quiet night sky for a long time, the quiet night made her fall into memories, the person who used to be was no longer there...
It's so late, how can she sit here, and she is not afraid of the cold. Leng Yanting looked at the bleak back on the ground on the roof, and his heart was in a mess. Thinking that she was going to marry King Han, there was more sourness in my heart. I didn't expect him to fall into this kind of magic barrier. There was some thought behind the spirit fox, "Since Your Excellency is here, why do you want to hide, come out." "You've improved a lot, huh? You can hear it. Leng Yanting was in front of Linghu in an instant. It's you? "This guy's kung fu is really good, Linghu looked at him fixedly." Hey, don't look at me like that, or I'll think you're in love with me. "Leng Yanting was hairy by her." What are you here for? Linghu turned around and sat down on the steps again, ignoring Leng Yanting's words. "You..." The words that came to his mouth were forced back, and he knew that even if he asked, he couldn't change anything. No one can change the emperor's marriage, even if he can take her away, the entire Xiao family will face a catastrophe, and she will definitely not do this. "What's the matter, just say something. It's not like what you do in Leng Yanting. Linghu looked at him suspiciously. It's nothing. Recently, a huge force suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, and the Feather Killing Hall was destroyed overnight, and now the major sects have also been affected a lot, what do you think of these. Leng Yanting asked tentatively, as if he was looking forward to something. But the answer he got disappointed his expectations, "How can I know about those things on the rivers and lakes?" And what do these things have to do with me? Linghu's calm expression made Leng Yanting unable to see a clue. So where did your kung fu come from? Leng Yanting still didn't give up, and he didn't know what he was looking forward to. That bit of effort was just for self-defense, and if I hadn't made that gamble, I'm afraid I'd have died a long time ago, wouldn't I? Linghu asked rhetorically. Leng Yanting was silent, she was right, if she didn't pay attention to the gambling contract at that time, it would have been easy to kill her. 'Am I crazy, how could I have thought that the Dark Moon Palace had something to do with her?' She's just the eldest lady in the boudoir. Leng Yanting secretly laughed at himself.
"Do you have a copy of the sword I gave you?" Leng Yanting didn't want to worry about a question, so he immediately changed the topic. "Lend me a sword." Linghu has been reading the sword book for a long time, and he didn't have a chance to practice it, so he quickly took the opportunity to practice. Leng Yanting didn't say anything, and handed the sword to Linghu. The spirit fox lifted the sword and unfolded it, with one move and one style, and the sword body was as dexterous and swift as a snake. , this sword book is suitable for women. It's just that the sword in her hand is a little more ruthless, and the sword wind is fierce and erratic. If the swordsmanship in that sword book is self-defense, then the swordsmanship of the spirit fox is murderous. How did she manage to change each move of her sword spectrum slightly to make it extremely powerful? If it's just self-defense, why change the move so viciously? Countless questions ran back into Leng Yanting's mind, he really couldn't understand this woman, as elusive as his master. His master... Thinking of this, Leng Yanting looked at the woman with long hair and shawl in front of him, dressed in white, and with a beautiful appearance, his mood was extremely complicated, because he couldn't change everything that would happen. He could only watch as this woman, who was affecting his mood all the time, jumped into the unpredictable abyss.
"What do you think?" Linghu saw that Leng Yanting was stunned and didn't speak, so he pushed him. "It's nothing, I saw that most of the swordsmanship you danced just now was not in the book I gave you, where did you learn it?" Leng Yanting looked at Linghu and felt that she had a lot of secrets on her body, and she couldn't find these secrets. "It's just my own blind research! But I don't think the sword is for me, I want a weapon that suits me better, but I haven't decided what kind of weapon I want yet. Linghu seems to have an idea in her heart, but this weapon is not suitable for girls, but she has never liked the things used by girls, it is too light and not lethal. People who are accustomed to walking on the line of life and death hold things in their hands that can kill people at any time, in addition to hidden weapons, the weapons they carry must be handy. It doesn't matter what the shape of the weapon is, as long as it suits her, it's a good weapon. Linghu thought about what he wanted, "It's too late, I'm going to rest, you should go back early!" Linghu didn't say much and ran back into the house. Leng Yanting was ordered to be evicted again, and he was very annoyed, picked up his sword and left, and his tall and handsome figure disappeared into the night in an instant. When he returned to the house, Linghu lit a candle and drew something on the paper with a pen, and it didn't take long for him to finish drawing, Linghu put the paper away, and immediately ran to the dormitory and climbed into bed to rest.
Nine Cloud Pavilion
"What's wrong with this cold protector tonight? Why is a man alone drinking sullen wine? A beautiful woman stood next to the drunken Leng Yanting, and looked at Leng Yanting in surprise. In the past ten years of acquaintance, I have never seen him so depressed. Borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, when will he Leng Yanting do such a thing? Zuo Xirou watched Leng Yanting pour down cup by cup, and really couldn't understand, could it be that she was tempted by which girl? No, I've known him for ten years, and I haven't seen him have a heart for any girl? This iron tree will bloom too? Thinking of this, Zuo Xirou suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you Leng Yanting to have such a day, haha" Leng Yanting looked at Zuo Xirou who was smiling back and forth suspiciously, "Why is Zuo Protector smiling so happily?" Leng Yanting was already drunk, and he didn't get angry when he saw Zuo Xirou laughing at himself, "Come, drink together" Leng Yanting poured another glass of wine and handed it to Zuo Xirou. Zuo Xirou was also not polite, took the wine glass and sat down, "Tell me, what is it that makes your cold protector so hurt?" Leng Yanting didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know why he was so sad in his heart? From the first time he saw her, he would always think of her. The first time I saw her, I was entrusted to kill her, but I lost for the sake of a block; The second time I saw her, I repaid the gambling contract, and she said that she was a shemale; The third time I saw her, she had been given to marry, and she was about to become the princess of Han. He'd never liked anyone before, but why was it her? Zuo Xirou looked at his painful look, knowing that this was no longer a joke that could be made casually, he was really tempted, "Are you serious?" Who is she? "The future princess of Han" "What? You're crazy, you like a woman who is going to marry your master! You, you're crazy! Zuo Xirou really didn't expect that woman to be the daughter of the Xiao Mansion. Leng Yanting was silent, and drank a sip of stuffy wine. yes, it's crazy, I've only seen her three times, and I'm already in it. Leng Yanting smiled bitterly. The two men were no longer talking, but each had a heart.
Maybe falling in love with someone is inexplicable. Some people, even if you accompany you for a lifetime, you will never fall in love with him; But there are people who have a glance for ten thousand years~
Inside the Shaw Mansion
Early the next morning, Linghu changed his clothes and went back to his room after dinner, waiting for Mama Chang to come. "Fang Ling, there is still a week before the wedding, have you really thought about being my wedding maid?" Linghu still doesn't want Fang Ling to stay by her side all the time, she should have found a suitable person to live happily for the rest of her life, why should she accompany herself to wade through this troubled water? "As long as you say no, I will immediately tell my father, and then let you out of the house and find a suitable person to live happily. Is that good? "Jingshu, can't you just leave me alone? I don't want to get married yet, and I really don't feel at ease if I change a maid to accompany you. "Fang Ling has followed Xiao Jingshu since she was a child, how could she be willing to let her go suddenly! Linghu didn't persuade much. One step at a time. At this time, Mama Chang had already arrived in the courtyard, and Linghu walked to the courtyard with lotus steps, "Mama, how did you rest last night?" "The slave and maid are resting very well, thank you Miss for your concern." "In that case, how about this start?" Linghu saw that the weather was good, and the air was fresh and slightly cool in the morning, which was refreshing!
Until noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the coolness of the morning had already dissipated, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were so hot that they lowered their heads, "The sun is out, let's go in and practice again." Linghu saw that Fang Ling's cheeks were slightly red, and a trace of fine sweat broke out on Chang Mama's forehead. No need, miss. Now that you've finished teaching the rest, you can rest in the afternoon. The slave and maid are also going back to the palace. "Mama Chang is slightly blessed." Done? Is it so fast? "Linghu thinks there are a lot of them?" It's the young lady who is talented and intelligent, and she has already learned everything she wants to learn in a week. Mama Chang looked at the surprised spirit fox, a little funny. Oh, yes, it looks like I can rest a little longer. "Linghu felt extremely relaxed." The slave went back first, and the young lady had a good rest. "Okay, then Jingshu won't stay long, Fang Ling will send it to Mama." Linghu winked at Fang Ling. "Yes, Mama, please." Fang Ling made a gesture of please, and Mama Chang did not refuse, so she left with Fang Ling. Seeing the distant back, Linghu stretched his waist and went back to the house.
Fang Ling sent Mama Chang to the door, "Mama Chang, you have worked hard in the past two days, this is a little bit of our young lady's meaning, and please accept it." "How can this be done, this is just the duty of a slave. How can I receive it..." Mama, you're welcome, this is what you deserve, just take it. Fang Ling stuffed a bill of silver into Mama Chang's hand. This, then thank you for the kindness of the young lady. Mama Chang accepted the silver ticket and left with a smile. Fang Ling saw that the people had gone away, so she went back.
