1.6. Hide your mind
Early the next morning, the genius was bright, and Jin Lan woke up.
The first is that I am really not used to changing places, and the second is that the pain in my body is terrible, so I got up early and rubbed the medicine, and I didn't delay the time to do things later.
Le Xin, who was in the back kitchen before, said that it was not necessary, and left her a new ointment, and the box looked better than the one that Jin Guo gave her.
These injuries have been accumulated for a long time, and it is difficult to subside them all in a short time, but fortunately, the clothes can cover them and will not scare others.
After doing this, he heard the sound of movement outside, thinking that everyone had already gotten up, Jin Lan straightened the hem of his clothes, took a deep breath, and then opened the door and went out.
Outside, there were girls laughing and talking, dressed in the same clothes as her, and they all seemed to be waiting in the antechamber.
Jin Guo came out from behind, walked quickly to her side, and said with a faint smile: "It's good to get up, let's go and clean the lobby first, the prince has a special kitchenette and tea room, and he has to carefully prepare the daily freshness, and only after he is ready, can he go to breakfast." ”
Jin Lan took it down carefully, and swept around the people in the courtyard, not much, but she didn't see Yue Xin: "Where is Sister Xin?" ”
"Sister is naturally waiting for the prince to get up, it's not something we can manage, Sister Xin is not ordinary in the house, and the big steward is in charge of Sister Gui Xin." Speaking of Le Xin, Jin Guo was obviously envious and adoring.
So powerful? Jin Lan blinked: "Why?" ”
Jin Guo glanced at her and smiled: "When our prince just canonized the mansion, isn't it that no one looks down on our prince, the prince's life is tortuous, and he has today's status, all of which are based on his own hard work, so that we can see the grand occasion of the palace now, it is said that Sister Xin twisted the heartfelt servants left in the mansion into a rope by herself, and now those who are serving in the prince's courtyard are all loyal to accompany the prince from the time when he was not welcomed, Sister Xin has worked hard for the prince, do you dare to think?" The tip of the knife went into three points, and it almost couldn't be saved, but I also listened to what the old man in the house said, what was the situation back then, we can't really know, you just know, Sister Xin and Brother Ayi are the two most effective people in this house, let's do things honestly, Sister Xin wholeheartedly adheres to the prince's generous wishes, and is very good to us. ”
Jin Lan nodded, turned around and glanced in the direction of the prince's courtyard, and followed Jin Guo to the front hall.
She didn't know about a series of things that happened last night, the chief steward was punished and demoted to the back kitchen as a helper, and the mother-in-law Ning in the back kitchen was also beaten and driven out of the palace with a group of rabble.
The bad wind was suppressed, but it did not cause any ripples, and the thing that was discussed early in the morning was the little girl Jin Lan who was saved by the prince in the kitchen.
The prince is kind-hearted, everyone knows it.
It's just that I'm inevitably nervous and curious, what kind of little girl was seen by the prince, so there were a lot of eyes on Jin Lan along the way, first with a little exploration and ill will, and after seeing her face, it became a strange gentleness.
How could she get into the eyes of the prince? I thought it was a beauty like Sister Xin, but it turned out that she was really just a slave with good luck.
Everyone has seen it, and everyone is relieved.
is the same as Le Xin's gaze at that time, just because he is relieved, he is more able to give Jin Lan some kindness.
This is probably the first kindness that Jin Lan, who doesn't know anything yet, except for Jin Guo.
It turns out that this world should be like this, Jin Lan planted a seed in her heart, this world is vast, she has never dared to think too much, just the distance from the back kitchen to the front hall, it is already two worlds.
She listened to Jin Guo whispering in her ear, but her thoughts unconsciously drifted to the courtyard last night, when will she see the face of the prince?
I want to thank the prince in person, he is a god who fell from the sky, saved her from the danger of fire and water, and is the person she has to repay all her life.
But she is so humble, what can she repay the prince? There seems to be nothing more to do than do your part.
Moreover, the prince may not remember saving her at all, and her gratitude may not be as important as a dinner.
Jin Guo found that Jin Lan's distraction was several times, but she did not expose it, her eyes were dark and complicated, and her mood became more and more entangled.
When he first entered the mansion and became friends with Jin Lan, it was because of Jin Lan's docile personality that Jin Guo didn't like people who were too strong, and he didn't like the feeling of being called around, so he chose to choose and choose Jin Lan to be his friend.
Later, she was selected to the front hall, and Jin Guo naturally had a sense of superiority, and her life was good, and she and Jin Lan no longer seemed to be in the same world.
She went to see Jin Lan, it can be said to be sympathetic, seeing that she was doing so badly, she felt fortunate in addition to sympathy.
I'm glad that I still have a good skin and saved myself from these hardships.
But now, Jin Lan, who was supposed to accept her sympathy and live in the corner, suddenly came to the prince to speak, and was arranged by Sister Le Xin to her side, and the originally unbalanced scale in Jin Guo's heart was completely overturned.
Why is Jin Lan with her? Her appearance shouldn't be in this place, her appearance is the only difference between her and Jin Lan, she obviously got everything today because of her advantage, what about Jin Lan? Just because he cried on the street and was found by the prince, can he break this superior balance?
Jin Guo was very annoyed, especially Jin Lan's current appearance, should she think that the prince would be kind to his subordinates, so she would be able to think about anything, right?
Today's queen mother is also very fond of the prince, and the future housewife, the queen mother will definitely choose a virtuous and virtuous rich lady for the prince, who can help the prince's famous daughter, even if it is Sister Xin, at most she asks for the title of a concubine, which is still due to Sister Xin's hard work for the prince and her many years of diligent service.
What is she Jinlan? Dare to think anything wrong about the prince, Sister Xin can't spare her for the first time.
Thinking like this, Jin Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended not to know when he saw Jin Lan in a daze, wiped the last chair clean, turned around and smiled: "Okay, let's go eat." ”
Jin Lan came back to her senses suddenly, and saw that Jin Guo didn't have any unusual expression, so she hurriedly followed Jin Guo's footsteps and walked towards the snack hall.
The breakfast here is a meat-filled bun, and it is accompanied by soft and glutinous white rice porridge and side dishes, and the fragrant smell makes Jin Lan's eyes shine.
Jin Guo looked at her and looked like she hadn't seen the world, hooked the corners of her mouth, and the turned over scales seemed to come back a little, she taught Jin Lan to take food, and then sat down at the table in the corner.
Many people are looking here, laughing and talking about Jin Lan in a whisper, as if they are very interested in this ugly girl who the prince takes special care of.
No one thought she was anything special.
No one thinks she can compare to Le Xin.
But life needs such accidents and exceptions to highlight the surprises created everywhere in life.
Wei Ziling's generosity and gentleness seemed to have become more convincing because of Jin Lan's existence.
"If you change King Yu, there will be no such thing."
Someone laughed coquettishly.
Another person chimed in: "What nonsense, King Yu's temperament, the mansion must be a beauty to enter." ”
They were all laughing, and Jin Lan knew that they were talking about themselves when she heard the word beauty.
She didn't say anything, just let them laugh, at least they wouldn't pounce on her like Mother Ning, beat her and scold her for pulling her hair, she heard a lot of laughter, it wouldn't affect her mood for dining, such good food can't be wasted.
Le Xin suddenly came in from outside the door, and the snack room was quiet all of a sudden, she swept around, saw Jin Lan in the corner, walked over quickly, knocked lightly on the table, and saw Jin Lan looking up at her, so she chuckled and said: "Come to me after dinner, the prince still has something to ask you." ”
After that, he turned around and glanced at the girls who were looking at this side, and said, "Haven't you eaten yet?" After working, the flowers and plants in the front yard have grown yellow leaves and no one can see them? ”
Le Xin's voice was very soft, but everyone knew the weight of Le Xin's words, so they hurriedly buried their heads, and the speed of eating was significantly accelerated.
After Le Xin left, Jin Guo couldn't hide his jealousy and pulled Jin Lan's hand: "What did the prince ask you?" Didn't you ask all about it last night? Mother Ning's group of people were kicked out of the house, and the chief steward was also punished, what else does the prince have to ask you? ”
Jin Lan was still immersed in the confusion of the sudden realization of her dream, and when she heard Jin Guo's words, she was stunned for a moment: "Mother Ning was kicked out of the house?" ”
Jin Guo rolled her eyes, the whole world knows, what is this girl thinking? Do you really think that the prince is simply saving her? It's just to use her business to rectify the bad atmosphere in the house.
"What else does the prince want to ask you?" Jin Guo stared at Jin Lan's eyes, "Could it be that you deliberately hid your words and didn't tell the prince clearly once in order to see the prince more?" ”
Jin Lan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I said everything I should have said last night, and I don't know why the prince still wants to see me, I... If you want to know what the prince told me, then tell you when I come back. ”
Jin Guo let go of his hand in disbelief, the displeasure on his face was slightly restrained, he couldn't eat the things in front of him, and he put down half of the bun left, and said in a muffled voice: "Then you go to Sister Xin yourself, I still have an errand to do, so I'll go first." With that, he got up and walked out, took two steps and turned around, "Remember to tell me." ”
Jin Lan hurriedly nodded and said okay, as soon as Jin Guo left, those eyes made Jin Lan even more uncomfortable, she quickly stuffed the bun into her mouth, swallowed it in a panic, and got up and left here.
"What, when did the prince become so concerned about a subordinate?"
"Sister Xin didn't say anything, I guess it's just an ordinary question."
"Hey, I knew that I would also let Mother Ning give me a beating, maybe I will be the one who sees the prince today."
"Dead Nizi, heard by Sister Xin, you know how powerful."
They laughed and laughed again, and anyone who went to see the prince could cause jealousy and dissatisfaction.
But Jin Lan won't.
Because she is an ugly monster, no one would believe that such a girl could pass Le Xin into the eyes of the prince.
Jin Lan nervously went to find Le Xin, in front of which was the courtyard of the prince, Jin Lan cautiously approached the arch and stuck it on the wall, just looking inside, she felt her heart beating very hard.
was looking inside at Le Xin's figure, and was slapped behind him.
Jin Lan was so frightened that before she could turn around, a face came out from the side: "Miss Jin Lan? Go in, what are you doing standing here? ”
It's Ayi.
There was no abnormality in his eyes when he looked at her from the first glance, and Le Xin was the same, making Jin Lan wonder if they couldn't see the birthmark on their face, such a normal and calm gaze made Jin Lan subconsciously forget to cover her face, which made people feel very comfortable.
Jin Lan stood at a loss: "Sister Xin said... Let me come to her after breakfast, as if the prince still has something to ask me. ”
"Come on in." Ayi nodded, smiled with a small tiger tooth, very sunny, beckoned to Jin Lan, and then went inside, shouting: "Le Xin! Lexin! The little girl is here! ”
He shouted affectionately, as if the two had known each other for a long time, but this was only the third time they had met.
Le Xin heard Ayi's shout, leaned out from the cover, squinted his eyes and smiled at Jin Lan: "Lan girl is here?" Come here. After that, he glared at Ayi again, "The prince is reading a book, and he doesn't shout and scream." ”
Ayi stuck out his tongue, turned around and winked at Jin Lan, covered his mouth and whispered, "Over there in the small pavilion, let's go over quickly." ”
Jin Lan bowed her head, originally thinking that it should be the same as last night, saying a few words through the screen, but when she turned the corner and went to the small pavilion, she saw Wei Ziling's back.
He sat in the front, tall, as if he wasn't ready to cover himself like last night, and Le Xin was serving tea and talking in a low voice, as if he was just talking to a good friend.
Has the prince always been so approachable?
Before Jin Lan had time to think about it, Ayi had already said that Jin Lan was here, and Wei Ziling just looked back like this.
The wind blows the vision, and a completely different face from the imagination comes into view, but after looking at it this time, I feel that there is nothing wrong with this appearance.
The gentle son is as fluttering as the wind, but it's a pity that such a beautiful pair of eyes are matched with a cracked lip line.
Wei Ziling's upper lip was very abrupt, but at this moment, Jin Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with him being like this, she seemed to suddenly understand why Wei Ziling was so special to her, she knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave and maid greet the prince." ”
She... It's the same person as him.
They are all people who are ridiculed by the world.
Wei Ziling opened her mouth to let her get up to speak, and when Jin Lan got up, she inadvertently collided with Wei Ziling's gaze, very nervous, and then gradually relaxed in his warm eyes.
"It hurts, doesn't it?" Wei Ziling said with concern, stretched out his hand and tapped the position of his sleeve, "Can you show me the wound?" ”
Jin Lan's heart was about to pop out, drowning in Wei Ziling's magnetic and soft voice, she was so nervous that she spoke straight to her teeth, and she didn't feel any pain when she rolled up her sleeves, and she trembled and stretched out to his eyes: "No... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”
Ayi held back a smile on the side, the charm of his prince, but the crit from the depths of his soul, who could resist the gentle and firm eyes of the prince?
So a little flaw is not something worth feeling inferior and afraid of at all, Ayi and Le Xin follow Wei Ziling's side and always firmly believe in this, so they have no unusual eyes for Jin Lan, let alone treat them differently, in their eyes, Jin Lan is not ugly, her humiliated but still pure soul is the most important thing.
"Scary, isn't it? That time. Wei Ziling sighed lightly, he understood this feeling too well, he was beaten and bullied, he could still fight back, but Jin Lan in front of him was just a weak woman, she couldn't even fight to the death, she must be even more helpless than when he was a child.
He has done it now, the queen mother said, the poor are good alone, and the big is to help the world, his achievements in the court are for thousands of poor people like him, and his actions in the mansion are also to make the people around him feel happy.
There are too many misfortunes in this world, and there will be one less person like him who is struggling to grow up, because not everyone can become a prince, and not everyone can survive the cold winter.
Jin Lan's heart shook, because Wei Ziling's words had been hidden in her heart, and the fear and grievances that she thought she had been used to a long time ago turned the tip of her nose sour in an instant and crawled all over her eyes.
She squirmed her lips, but she couldn't speak for a long time.
Le Xin glanced at Wei Ziling, she was because... Because of such a gentle and beautiful prince, he is determined to serve him for the rest of his life.
The prince has suffered too much in the past, and now everything is self-made, with this achievement, Le Xin is even more proud than Wei Ziling himself.
He is an eagle with wings spread, and she only wants to be a ruin that carries his rest.
Even if you can only see his back forever and can only look up to his heroic posture, Le Xin is already satisfied.
Jin Lan's eyes, she understood it too well.
This girl must feel that the prince is a god who fell from the sky, a hero who saved her, and the delivery of a heart is just a short moment.
But... No way.
No one, she can't, Jin Lan can't, she must not let anyone appear between the prince and the future master, even if it is herself, she can't have such a ridiculous Xiao Xiang.
The prince must love and respect each other with the future master and mother, and grow old together.
Such a beautiful prince, worthy of a gentle housewife matching, worthy of a plain and comfortable life, she is the prince's sword, the future mother's sword, no one is allowed to destroy the prince's perfect married life in the future, this backyard, there is no beacon smoke, this is Le Xin's promise to himself.
Jin Lan pulled her soul out of Wei Ziling's sight, she put down her sleeves in a panic, annoyed by her gaffe and a moment of dirty thoughts, and quickly knelt down again, kowtowing to Wei Ziling, what she wanted to say before could really be said in person at this time, and she couldn't miss the opportunity: "Slave, thank the prince for saving his life, and may he be loyal to the prince and the palace for eternity." ”
When Wei Ziling heard this, he hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed: "How can you be loyal to me and the palace?" ”
Jin Lan was stunned, and was speechless for a while.
yes, she... What can be given? It's just a servant girl who wants to be protected by the prince, how can she have the face to say something unashamed here, and provoke the prince to laugh at it.
Seeing that she couldn't answer and was trembling nervously, Wei Ziling smiled dumbly and glanced at Le Xin.
Le Xin stepped forward and pulled Jin Lan up, and said softly: "Since you still can't figure it out now, you don't have to rush to give an answer, it's still a long time, when you figure it out, when you can reply." ”
Jin Lan lowered her eyes and bit her lip.
Wei Ziling didn't seem to have anything to say, so he called Jin Lan to ask about her injuries, and by the way, let her learn the rules by Le Xin's side, and serve in his yard.
Probably because of a kind of sympathy for being a person of the same kind, in short, Wei Ziling decided so.
Le Xin led Jin Lan down and told her about Wei Ziling's decision, there are still many empty rooms in the back, in just two days, she has changed a place and a place, which is more unexpected and frightening. It makes people happy.
Can she really stay in the prince's courtyard and serve? It's just that the cleaning maids in the outer courtyard are good, and it's good to see the prince.
Le Xin answered three times in a row to confirm that she was indeed staying, Jin Lan chose a sunny room, opened the window, and could see the corridor outside, she liked it very much.
Le Xin stood behind Jin Lan, stared at her back, and said, "Jin Lan, stay here, there is a sentence, I have to tell you first." ”
Jin Lan turned around, the smile on her face still maintained.
"Hide your thoughts, around the prince, there can only be people who serve, there can be no people who admire, only loyal people, not people who have other hearts, if you don't hide it well, those thoughts will come out of your mouth, and your eyes will come out, and I won't tolerate you." Le Xin's voice was soft, and she watched Jin Lan's smile fade away, feeling like a vicious woman.
But she must do this, the prince's lifelong happiness is the most important thing.
"Sister Xin, I...
"You don't have to deny anything, I can see it." Le Xin didn't give her a chance to speak, "But you also have to know that the prince will always be the prince, he is the prince, the pride of the sky, and the person who is destined to be different from us, the prince is too bitter, how difficult it is to get to this point, we just hope that the queen mother can point out a gentle and obedient wife to the prince, grow old with the prince, support each other with the prince, be able to help the prince, and let the prince... No longer so bitter, no longer supported by a person, this is our greatest reward and loyalty to the prince, Jin Lan, loyal to the future mother, treat the future mother, so that the mother has no worries in the backyard, for the prince, is the best, do you understand? ”
Slaves and maids, do what slaves and maids should do in peace.
Don't think about it, don't think about anything, and play your role well, which is the greatest reward and loyalty.
The heart that is about to beat must stop beating before it has even started.
