Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shadow Play

Ling Zhao sneered: "Even you are comforting me. ”

"Princess, you should be too homesick, that's why you are cranky. You are the wife that the prince is marrying, and you are the princess of Heqin, what can the prince do to you without the emperor's approval?

Didn't the people of the Central Plains get married by relying on the words of their parents? Most of them are in love over time, and the prince is no exception. ”

"Yes, you're right. Wanxiang is just a cheap maid, at most, she is the prince's concubine. I am a princess and pro, even if I am not treated by the emperor and have not stayed in the harem, I must be courteous. ”

"Actually, the princess thinks about it, how can the harem compare to the palace? It is not unheard of in the royal palace the methods of those people. ”

After listening to the maid's words, Ling Zhao's heart was much more comfortable, and he fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

And Xiao Huaijin was sitting on the edge of Wanxiang's bed, and Xiao'er saw that Xiao Huaijin was sitting here and had no intention of going back to rest, and she couldn't go back to rest, so she sat outside the door and guarded.

By the time Wanxiang opened her eyes, it was already dawn, and she saw Xiao Huaijin in a blink of an eye, who was sleeping on the side of the bed with his clothes.

Wanxiang lay on the pillow and tilted her head to look at Xiao Huaijin with a smile, and after watching Xiao Huaijin for a long time before she opened her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Wanxiang staring at herself and smirking, and couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"When did the prince come back? Stayed here overnight? ”

"This king has just come over for a long time, thinking about something."

Looking at Xiao Huaijin's duplicitousness, it really made Wanxiang laugh so much that she buried her face in the pillow.

"Can you laugh when you're beaten like this?"

"It's really funny that the prince has different hearts."

Xiao Huaijin took a deep breath and reached out to poke Wanxiang's head: "This king's face has made you lose everything!" ”

"Shame? Did the subordinates disgrace the prince? ”

"It still depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that you have to send it to someone to beat. What is not the face of the king of this loss? Xiao Huaijin looked a little angry, with a cold face, and his voice was as cold as chalcedony.

Wanxiang continued to pull his cuffs, not wanting Xiao Huaijin to pull back his sleeves: "You look like this, how can you go out and do things for this king?" ”

Thinking of this, Wanxiang lowered his head, pursed his lips and rested his chin on the pillow, and his two little hands fiddled with the gauze tent in front of him: "Then what should I do?" The subordinates are already like this, and they can't share the worries of the prince......"

"I really don't know what to say about you."

"Then don't talk about it, the princess is sympathetic to her subordinates, and she was rewarded with medicine after beating fifty rods yesterday. Presumably, this injury will heal in a few days. ”

"You dare to use what she sent? Thrown. ”

"Don't, my subordinates saw it yesterday, it's all the best medicine, what a pity to throw it away."

"This king is too lazy to care about you!" After speaking, Xiao Huaijin got up and was about to leave.

Wanxiang stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Huaijin's robe, shaking it vigorously in her hand: "Lord Wang, my subordinates can't go out now, and they are very stuffy in the house." Also, the subordinates want to eat osmanthus cake. ”

Looking back at the harmless little appearance of people and animals, Xiao Huaijin flicked his sleeves: "Hmph." ”

Seeing Xiao Huaijin leaving, Wanxiang thought that Xiao Huaijin was really angry.

But after a while, Liang Cuo came with a bunch of people, set up a small platform in the house of Juanxiang, and also drew a heavy curtain in the house.

I already felt that the room was stuffy and uncomfortable, so Wanxiang felt even more depressed, so she hurriedly stopped Liang Cuo and asked, "What are you doing Liang Cuo?" Want to suffocate me alive? ”

"The prince knows that you can't be idle, so he called a shadow troupe. You're here to have some time. ”

Saying that, Liang Cuo turned around and was about to leave, but Wanxiang stopped him again: "Eh! ”

"How?"

Wanxiang waved her hand and called Liang Cuo to her, and she whispered, "Have you heard about Yucheng?" ”

Liang Cuo shook his head: "You can recuperate with peace of mind, and I will do what is around the prince." ”

As she was talking, Aunt Ruan brought over a food box and put it on the small table next to her: "The osmanthus cake that the girl asked for is here." ”

Wanxiang looked at the light behind the small stage, and muttered: "This beating, the value of the beating." ”

I also left a sentence in my heart: I'm afraid I'm going to anger the princess.

Even if Xiao Huaijin didn't show up for a few days, he asked the troupe to live in the house for half a month, changing tricks and singing to Wanxiang every day.

Such a troupe has lived in the house for so long, and the southern courtyard naturally heard the movement, and Ling Zhao was intuitively upset when he knew it.

Even if Wanxiang didn't use the good medicine she gave, this injury should be healed for ten days and a half months. But I heard from the next person that she was still lying on the bed and couldn't get up.

It stands to reason that Xiao Huaijin knew that he should have come to argue with him early in this matter, but he didn't come. Rubbing his forehead, Ling Zhao muttered: "Does he not even want to look at me?" ”

"The princess is too worried, it is the cheap maid who beggs to beat herself, and the prince feels that she has nothing to argue with the princess."

"That troupe has been babbling and singing in the house for more than ten days, but I can't even look at it. The prince still spoils her......"

The people around her didn't speak, she looked forward to it day and night, but she couldn't look forward to Xiao Huaijin, she advanced to the door of the east courtyard, and took the initiative to meet Xiao Huaijin as if she were nothing.

As he said at the beginning, keep her in the house and respect each other.

"What a......" Ling Zhao looked at himself in the bronze mirror and began to think again.

……

In fact, it is not that Wanxiang can't stand up, she will also stand up from time to time and go to the yard to bask in the sun.

Standing in the shade of the trees, watching the sunlight penetrate through the gaps in the branches and leaves and reflect the mottled shadows of the trees on the ground, she still thinks about the bamboo forest behind the Buddhist hall.

Just as he was thinking about how to talk to Xiao Huaijin, he saw Ji'er walking back from outside in a hurry.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Qi'er just saw the two people beside the princess, walking towards this side with a food box, so she hurriedly ran back to the courtyard."

Hearing her say this, Wanxiang couldn't help laughing: "You were scared by them, and you avoided the two maids when you saw them." ”

"Ji'er is afraid that they will stuff something into their hands again, poison the girl and frame Ji'er. hurried back to the courtyard, anyway, with the orders of the prince, they couldn't get in. ”

But before Lingzhao's people came in, Liang Cuo ran into the courtyard first, and saw Wanxiang standing in the courtyard, and said breathlessly: "Today, the prince and King Yi were called into the palace together, and as soon as they left the palace gate, the prince was detained by King Yi. ”

"Buckled?! What qualifications does he have to detain the prince? ”
