Chapter 73: I owe him my life

"When this king was a child, he once stumbled and fell into the water."

Xiao Tingyi closed his eyes and recalled slowly.

At that time, he was only five years old, and he had a very good relationship with his eldest nephew Xiao Mingrui, who was of the same age, and he frolicked in the palace all day long, chasing everywhere.

His imperial brother Xiao Tingli has just ascended the throne, and Xiao Mingrui is only one of the princes.

However, because of the Emperor's love for Xiao Tingyi and Xiao Tingli's special care for him, children of the same age in the palace are also willing to play with him, and Xiao Mingrui is also very close behind him.

However, one day, while playing, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Xiao Tingyi was pushed into the water by Xiao Mingrui.

A five-year-old child, floating in the water, struggled and shouted for help.

At that time, Liao Zhi happened to be passing by with Xiao Tingli.

After hearing Xiao Tingyi's cry for help, Liao Zhier didn't say a word, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Xiao Tingli, so he jumped into the water and fished up Xiao Tingyi, who had drunk a stomach of water.

And Liao Zhi was rewarded for this, and he has always been appreciated by Xiao Tingli.

Therefore, he owes Liao Yi a life and has to pay it back.

And looking at Xiao Tingyi, who had become a soup chicken, Xiao Tingli was furious and severely punished Xiao Mingrui.

Whether he intentionally or unintentionally, it was his fault for pushing Xiao Tingyi into the water.

After all, the Emperor Taishang had just passed away, and the most favored youngest son had an accident in the water like this, and he was inevitably caught in the wind.

Since then, Xiao Mingrui has never wanted to play with Xiao Tingyi again.

Later, Xiao Mingrui worked hard to climb and became the crown prince, and it was logical that he became an observer of the court, but he did not clearly express any differences with Liao Zhi in terms of political opinions.

It's just that Xiao Tingyi feels that Liao Zhi's death is likely to also have an element of anger in Xiao Mingrui's heart.

And Ye Qingli didn't expect that Xiao Mingrui, whom he once loved, would have such a thing.

Once upon a time, the flawless and flawless man in her mind slowly appeared one stain after another at this time.

If, just because Liao Zhi saved Xiao Tingyi at that time, he dared to ignore the truth and take the opportunity to take revenge on Liao Zhi, it would be really terrible.

But thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

After many years of wifery, he is so ruthless that he can kill him, but he is a minister who has a holiday, why can't he do it?

"What's wrong with you?"

Her heart hurt like it was tearing at this moment, and Xiao Tingyi's voice seemed to be penetrating, breaking her thoughts.

Then, she found out she was crying.

"It's fine."

Ye Qingli hurriedly wiped his face and lowered his head.

"Did you remember your master?"

Xiao Tingyi's voice seemed a little strange.

However, Ye Qingli didn't notice this, just nodded indiscriminately and responded, "Hmm." ”

But somehow, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Xiao Tingyi didn't speak again.

And Ye Qingli lowered his head, in a depressed mood, and didn't speak again.

For a moment, the two faced each other, and they were speechless.

'Smack'!

The candle flame jumped, and a candle exploded, and both of them raised their heads in unison.

The four eyes met, still a little speechless.

After a long time, Xiao Tingyi said slowly, "It's late at night, go back." ”

"Okay."

Ye Qingli nodded, got up and left.

As soon as he walked to the door, Xiao Tingyi's voice sounded behind him again, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

"Hmm."

Ye Qingli responded, with the sourness of the tip of her nose, but she didn't look back.

"Rest early."

Xiao Tingyi said again.

"So is the prince."

Ye Qingli didn't know why, she felt awkward, and left quickly after speaking.

Linglong didn't wait for her outside, she went back by herself.

Back in the small courtyard, Linglong was waiting for her at the residence.

"Have you eaten enough?"

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Qingli put on a smile and asked relaxedly.

"I'm full!"

Linglong nodded contentedly, and said with some fear, "Brother Lin Feng took me to the kitchen of Chengfu Bezhuang to eat." ”

Suddenly, Ye Qingli burst out laughing.

Lin Feng's ice cube face, can he do such a thing?

When Cheng Jin knows, is he stupid hahaha.

"I said I wouldn't go, but Brother Lin Feng flew up with me directly!"

Linglong's expression was slightly frightened, and there were some palpitations, "It's so scary, I don't dare to shout, but those dishes are really delicious!" ”

Looking at her and even talking and gesturing, Ye Qingli couldn't help but smile helplessly, can there be unpalatable dishes in Cheng Jin's kitchen?

But it is estimated that Cheng Jin probably can't sleep well these few nights, right?

And the next morning, when it was not very bright, Ye Qingli got up.

Linglong rubbed her eyes and yawned, looking sleepy, "Princess, why do you get up so early?" ”

Ye Qingli couldn't help laughing, did she accept a maid?

I don't have the consciousness of being a maid, no wonder I've been in Beizhuang for so long, but I'm still just an ordinary rough maid.

"Today, we're going out."

Ye Qingli rubbed her apple face, making her face flush, and patted her carefully, "Wake up quickly." ”

Linglong was kneaded into a bun by her, humming and chirping.

"Go to the kitchen and get some food, get up so early today, there won't be nothing."

Ye Qingli commanded.

"Yes."

Linglong went out.

And Ye Qingli took medicine by herself, changed her clothes, and waited for Linglong to come back with food.

However, Linglong was startled as soon as she entered the door, "You, you, you...... Who are you, and how ...... In the Princess's room! ”

What she is facing is actually Ye Qingli in men's clothing.

"Linglong, it's me."

Ye Qingli knocked on the folding fan in her palm, thinking of Mama Gui in her heart.

It's really sweet.

"Princess? How are you—"

Linglong couldn't believe it, Ye Qingli took the food box in her hand, opened it, put it on the table the same, and said with a smile, "It's all said, I'm going out today." ”

But when she put it on the table, she felt that something was wrong.

Crystal soup steamed buns, japonica rice and lily porridge, jade rabbit cabbage, braised duck, bamboo pigeon soup, and small pickled melon and pickles as a clear mouth.

It's so early in the morning, it's quite hearty.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Tingyi must have expected that she would definitely refuse to be satisfied with the status quo and plan to go out by herself.

Seeing her frowning, Linglong said, "I heard from the master chef in the kitchen, today's breakfast was specially instructed by Steward Zheng, and you should get up early to make it." ”

Ye Qingli smiled and didn't speak.

This Xiao Tingyi is simply as careful as horror.

So, he beckoned her, "Let's eat together." ”

"No, no, no!"

Linglong's face suddenly changed again, and she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand.

When the master eats, the subordinate must be on the side, she still understands this, this is the self-cultivation of a subordinate.

Moreover, when the master finishes eating, maybe he is in a good mood, reward them, and they can have the honor to eat a meal that the master is eligible to enjoy.

"With me, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Ye Qingli patted the seat next to her, took the porridge and ate it, and said, "If you are slow and don't listen to the concubine, let you continue to watch the chores." ”

Linglong was so frightened that she was about to cry.

"Do you want to eat now?"

Ye Qingli still didn't raise her head, continued to eat her own, and kept saying, "Ouch, this suckling pigeon is so tender, the crispy duck skin is really fragrant, and the crystal bun is also soft and fragrant, it's so delicious." ”

Linglong swallowed.

"To eat or not to eat?"

"Eat."

Linglong bowed spinelessly under the pomegranate skirt of the food.

After the two of them had eaten, they quietly walked out of the village through the back door.

Speaking of which, there is nothing to visit in this place on the outskirts of Beijing.

Because it is equivalent to an independent villa group, each one covers a very large area, and the meaning of the existence of the other village is to avoid the interference of the busy market.

So, there are no shops to see.

But in general, the scenery is still very pleasant, so Ye Qingli walked casually with Linglong, listening to the birdsong and smelling the flowers, but it was also pleasant.

She came to meet by chance today.

She still thinks that there must be some unexpected discoveries in the vicinity of Chengfu Villa.

Although she was badly dropped by a donkey cart last time, she still chose not to divination.

There are accidents, there are surprises.

"Princess, we-"

"Shh

As soon as Linglong opened her mouth, she was silenced by Ye Qingli's fingers, and said softly, "Call Childe." ”

"Childe, where are we going?"

"I don't know."

Ye Qingli walked in front in a dashing manner and shook his head.

Linglong couldn't help but look up to the sky helplessly, what did the Internet fee come out for?

"Whew!"

A little white dog with edelweiss jumped and ran over.

"Oh my God! So cute! ”

Linglong was immediately attracted and ran over to pick up the puppy.

And the puppy doesn't seem to be timid, he is very well-behaved in Linglong's arms, and licks Linglong's face with his tongue, making Linglong 'giggle' and laugh.

"It's like a snowball!"

Exquisitely and cherishedly held it up, and couldn't help but appreciate it in the morning light.

"Let go of my snowball!"

Not far away, a voice suddenly came, Linglong was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously used force in her hand, which made the puppy 'whoop' and break free from her hand and fall to the ground.

Then, he quickly ran in the direction where the voice came from.

Ye Qingli looked up and found that it was a woman who was extremely well-dressed.

The woman hurriedly walked over with the dog in her arms and asked, "Do you know, this is a precious snow jade poodle, and you can't afford to pay for it!" ”

This tone is arrogant and arrogant, and it reveals some goosebump-inducing delicateness.

In short, when you hear it, you will know what kind of person this is.

There are people who are raised by the gold lord.

If nothing else, this is likely to be Cheng Jin's woman.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Linglong hurriedly apologized, and the maid beside the woman also said, "Can you get away with a sentence that is not intentional, listening to the scream of Xueqiu just now, you must have secretly pinched it!" ”

Sure enough, there is a servant for every master.

"I didn't!"

"You must have!"

Linglong and the maid argued, but Ye Qingli stared at the angry woman and frowned slightly.
