Chapter 19: The Sunken Pond
Welcoming to the courtyard, Wanxiang stretched out her hand and saluted: "Princess." ”
Ling Zhao took a closer look at the incense: "I heard that you went to the garden today?" ”
"Yes, my subordinates didn't know that the princess's maid was also in the backyard and accidentally stained the eyes of the sisters."
"And brought a maid back?"
"Yes, the little girl made a big mistake by slandering the princess, and her subordinates brought it back to listen to the prince."
"Really?"
"Does the princess still have orders?"
"Don't bother the prince about the affairs of the backyard, just leave it to me and take it away."
"The princess has suffered such a grievance, how can she not let the prince know? I believe that the prince will not let the princess be wronged. What's more, Liang Cuo has already gone to greet the prince and made the matter clear. If the prince can't see anyone when he comes back, he will definitely embarrass his subordinates. ”
Thinking that this domineering little princess would lose her temper, Wanxiang had already thought of a countermeasure in her head, but she heard her say: "That's good, I'm not angry, but I'm afraid that the house is not right." Slaves and maids are all disrespectful to the master, what kind of system has it become? ”
"That's what the princess said."
"I raised a stinky temper in the palace of Southern Xinjiang, and yesterday I spoke a little ugly, but the fragrance can go to my heart?"
Wanxiang sneered in her heart: "The subordinates don't dare." ”
Ling Zhao didn't know which tendon didn't match correctly, so he said softly to Wanxiang: "I brought a lot of things from southern Xinjiang, eating musical instruments, herbs and some gadgets. Why don't you come with me to see what you like and pick up two of them? ”
Qi'er gently grabbed it behind Wanxiang, and Wanxiang replied: "My subordinates have thanked the princess, but they are useless, and Wanxiang is not good at taking the princess's things, and it is even more difficult to walk around the house at will." If the prince knows that his subordinates have disturbed the purity of the princess, I am afraid that he should be punished. ”
Ling Zhao bit the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Where is it?" If it's inconvenient for you, I'll pick some and ask my aunt to send them to you. ”
"What else does the princess command?"
"Then I'll say it bluntly, I heard that you came to the palace early and served the prince for many years, so you must know the prince's heart very well?"
Wanxiang stood upright, and his head never lowered: "The subordinates are subordinates, and the princess and the princess and his wife are respectful to each other, and they will know the prince's heart better than their subordinates." ”
Ling Zhao was not happy to hear this, but he still laughed, and actually reached out to take Wanxiang's hand, and Wanxiang subconsciously dodged backwards.
The expressions of the people next to him froze, but Ling Zhao still picked up Wanxiang's hand: "My mother's family is far away in southern Xinjiang, and there is no one in the Central Plains to speak." The prince spoils you, and the palace can see it clearly.
I know the rules of the Central Plains, marry someone and follow your husband. If you really love the prince, I will be the lord and ask you to be a concubine for the prince. You and I take care of each other. ”
Caring for each other? Do you want to persuade the prince to look at the house with her? Or, want to use some small favors to make yourself grateful to Dade for her use? Or, get rid of yourself while you're on your go?
Sure enough, it was a trick between women, and Wanxiang smiled: "The princess said that she was joking." ”
"Give me your eight characters, and where are you from? Do you have any relatives at home? ”
Without waiting for Wanxiang to answer, someone next to her replied first: "She is not from anywhere, she is from this king." ”
Ling Zhao and Wan Xiang didn't expect Xiao Huaijin to come back, and Ling Zhao saw the corners of Xiao Huaijin's mouth twitch.
The big hand grabbed Wanxiang's arm and pulled her behind him: "The princess doesn't have to be Zhang Luo for this king, just be her own master." ”
Hearing Xiao Huaijin's words, Ling Zhao was stunned, and the maid behind him reminded him before he hurriedly said: "It just so happens that the prince is back, isn't it time to talk about that cheap maid?" ”
Xiao Huaijin looked back at Wanxiang and seemed to ask what was going on.
"There is a maid who is talking about the rights and wrongs of the princess behind her back, and her subordinates have brought her back, and they want to ask the prince how to deal with it."
"Where's the person?"
"In the subordinate house."
"Bring it here."
Wanxiang took people to Xiao Huaijin and gave the little girl a look, and the little girl hurriedly knelt on the ground and couldn't stop kowtowing to Xiao Huaijin: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, don't sink the slave into the pond!" The slave knows that she is wrong! ”
"Sunken Pond?" Xiao Huaijin looked at Ling Zhao: "Who wants to sink you in the pond?" ”
The little girl raised her eyes to look at Ling Zhao, and then lowered her head.
Fortunately, Liang Cuo arrived at the door early to greet Xiao Huaijin and told him the ins and outs, and Xiao Huaijin knew what kind of mind Wanxiang was.
Picked up the teacup and said, "Small punishment and big commandment, twenty rods." ”
"The chores in the house shouldn't bother the prince, and the concubine feels ......"
"Could it be that the princess likes to take care of people's lives, so she has to give it to Shentang?"
"The ...... in the backyard of the palace"
"The princess likes to be the lord of this king so much, so should the rules of our house be changed by the princess? Is the surname of this king also going to follow southern Xinjiang? ”
Xiao Huaijin's eyes glared at Ling Zhao and Ling Zhao didn't dare to speak.
"This matter can be big or small, this king likes to be quiet, and he is not willing to care about these trivial things. What else would the princess want to say? ”
"Concubine...... Speechless. ”
As soon as Liang Cuo wanted to drag people down, Xiao Huaijin said: "Just fight here, this king is not afraid of dirty yards." ”
So Ling Zhao and the others stood in the courtyard and saw that the little girl had suffered twenty rods, and at first there were screams, and then only whimpering sounds.
Except for the woman who had an accident with the incense, they were all pale with fright. Aunt Ruan stood behind and pinched her fingers tightly, and when she saw it, she whispered to her: "Auntie, the girl can't hide from these twenty sticks." ”
"The slave knows."
When the fight was over, the corners of the girl's mouth that she had bitten for pain were almost rotten. Xiao Huaijin raised his head and asked Ling Zhao, "Is the princess still satisfied?" ”
“……”
"If you're satisfied, go back. The hour is not early, and the king will rest. ”
Ling Zhao held his breath in his heart, glanced at Wanxiang and Aunt Ruan, and then looked back at Xiao Huaijin: "The concubine is retired." ”
When Ling Zhao left, Liang Cuo asked Xiao Huaijin: "Lord Wang, what should I do with this person?" ”
Xiao Huaijin waved his hand at Wanxiang, and Wanxiang honestly walked to Xiao Huaijin's side, and listened to Xiao Huaijin's doting question: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Subordinate......
Xiao Huaijin raised his hand again to signal Wanxiang to approach, and Wanxiang heard Xiao Huaijin say in his ear: "Today, this king has helped you." ”
"My subordinates have thanked the prince."
"Just talk about it?"
"Then what does the prince want? Isn't it because the prince was snubbed on the day of his wedding, and they put the account on my head? He almost killed an innocent person. ”
Xiao Huaijin stretched out his hand and nodded at the door of the incense on his head: "If you talk nonsense again, this king can't spare you." ”
The evening breeze blew through the fragrant hair, teasing between Xiao Huaijin's eyebrows and eyes, one leaned over and listened carefully and the other with a bad smile, looking so ambiguous.
Wanxiang stood up and tilted her head to look at Xiao Huaijin: "The prince didn't bring any troubles when he came back from the palace this time to ask his subordinates to solve it?" ”
Xiao Huaijin immediately straightened her face: "If you don't carry that girl away, I'm afraid she will die here." ”
Hearing this, Wanxiang hurriedly called Aunt Ruan: "Carry people into the house." ”
Saying that Wanxiang was going back to the house with her, Xiao Huaijin reached out and hooked her belt: "Let you go?" ”
After speaking, Xiao Huaijin put down his hand, turned around and went to the house.
