Chapter 175: The Imperial Gift
"Did you two say yes? What's wrong with this medicine? Do you want to scare me like that? Lin Xiaomiao glanced at the two of them and was about to step forward to grab the medicine, but Chu Lan immediately withdrew her hand and glanced at each other with Ping'er, both of whom saw something strange in each other's eyes.
"Say it quickly, don't hide it from me." Lin Xiaomiao said this, her face was flat, and she looked very fierce.
But neither of Ping'er nor Chu Lan spoke, but Chu Lan was clever and reacted first.
"Madam, how can you come to this medicine by yourself, or I will give you medicine." Chu Lan pulled out a smile, and then ignored Lin Xiaomiao's reply, as if she was afraid that she would find something, and immediately smeared the white ointment on Lin Xiaomiao's knees.
The cold touch came, and Lin Xiaomiao felt that the injury on her knee had healed a lot, but the two maids in front of her seemed to have something to hide from her, but they both had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything, so she didn't plan to ask.
"After taking the medicine, you should go back and rest early."
Lin Xiaomiao sighed and instructed the two maids, both of them were half-grown girls, and it was too hard to accompany herself to be tossed by Jinyu like this.
"Yes, ma'am." Ping'er and Chu Lan served Lin Xiaomiao to sleep, put the ointment on Lin Xiaomiao's bedside, and then left.
The two had just returned to their rooms and closed the door before they dared to speak.
"You said the ointment was given to you by Aoki?" Chu Lan's face was full of doubt.
"Yes, I don't know where he got it, it's clearly a gift...... No matter how much the prince values Aoki, it is impossible to give him this thing. Ping'er was also worried.
"Could it be that Aoki stole it?"
"Impossible! I think the prince quietly gave it to Aoki and asked him to give it to our wife. Ping'er innocently looked at the bright moonlight outside the window and said.
But Chu Lan didn't think so, although she didn't follow Lin Xiaomiao today, but seeing the injury on Lin Xiaomiao's leg, she could naturally guess today's events.
This son of the world must have helped the county lord of Jinyu, otherwise he would not have watched Lin Xiaomiao become like this, so why did the son of the world quietly administer medicine?
The two didn't discuss a result, so they had to give up and lay down on the bed.
"No, I'll have to ask tomorrow!" Ping'er slapped the bedboard, and she vowed to get this clear.
"Ouch, my aunt, don't you see how late it is, go to bed quickly."
Chu Lan turned over, a little helpless at Ping'er making such a big move.
Ping'er made up her mind and was excited, but after thinking about it, she would have to get up early the next day, and she closed her eyes with a quilt.
And the two of them fell asleep here, but Lin Xiaomiao didn't feel sleepy at all.
Seeing Duanmuyi's attitude towards her so indifferent today, it seems that he really responded to that sentence: with a new love, forget the old love.
Her old love doesn't have the identity of his new love, let alone the fact that he carried a sedan chair into the Jueyang Palace, so she can only be bullied by the new love. But if Lin Xiaomiao is a person of this era, she will admit it, but she is a modern person who has traveled through time, how can she endure this breath?
Today, although he made a move on the dish, he sweated spicy to the county lord of Jinyu, but he also suffered a crime. However, this medicine is really good, and not long after applying it, her knees don't hurt anymore.
Lin Xiaomiao remembered the injury on her knee, and remembered Duanmu Heng's words.
Duanmu Yi married someone else, and didn't even give her an identity, this Jinyu county lord was arrogant, and even asked her to get up early to do the work that the rough girl did, did Lin Xiaomiao really want to stay in this Jueyang Palace?
She looked at the bed curtain and fell into deep thought.
She couldn't let go of Duanmu Yi is true, but the other party didn't take her to heart, she didn't say anything about it today, and she helped the county lord of Jinyu, she was really a kind and cold person.
Was she really going to hang herself from such a crooked-necked tree?
Lin Xiaomiao only felt a mess in her mind, she begged to know that it was not these, she just wanted to guard her few acres of land, as long as it was enough for her and her two younger brothers to eat and drink, she could live a chic life, she didn't want to live any intrigue in this palace.
Lin Xiaomiao is now helpless in the palace, and she has already retreated in her heart, but this body has been given to Duanmu Yi, she left like this, isn't it cheap for him?
As she thought about it, her eyelids began to tremble, and she just wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while, when she suddenly heard Ping'er's voice outside the door.
"Madam, it's time to get up."
Lin Xiaomiao didn't come up with a reason, and when it was time again, she could only sigh, and then got up and walked towards the dresser.
Ping'er heard the movement and opened the door. She doesn't like to dress up very much, and after a simple tidying up, she went out of the door of Danyuan in the company of Ping'er and Chu Lan.
There is no one else in this palace except for the guards who patrol the night.
"Madame Yun."
Before Lin Xiaomiao could reach the back kitchen, she heard a clear voice stop her, and she was a little curious.
I saw a person dressed as a guard with clear eyebrows hesitating, as if he wanted to say something behind her.
"Are you ......?" Lin Xiaomiao looked again and again, and found that she didn't know anyone, and the early summer behind her was stunned.
"Li Yu?" Chu Lan called, and she blushed a little.
"Mrs. Yun, I'm here to find Chu Lan, I met her in the front hall yesterday, Chu Lan accidentally dropped a hairpin, I'm here to send it back." As he spoke, the guard called Li Yu handed over a simple copper hairpin in his arms.
Lin Xiaomiao was inconvenient to answer, and looked at Chu Lan behind her, Chu Lan was refreshed, and immediately stretched out her hand to recapture the hairpin almost as if grabbing, the moment the hands of the two touched, Li Yu shrank slightly, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.
"In this way, the hairpin was also sent back, and the subordinates retired."
There was such a scene on the way, Ping'er and Lin Xiaomiao both felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, Lin Xiaomiao looked at Ping'er's shy appearance, and her intuition told her that there was a situation between Li Yu and Chu Lan!
"You and that Li Yu ......" Before Lin Xiaomiao's words were finished, Chu Lan was anxious.
"Madame, don't think about it, it's just that we met yesterday." She interrupted Lin Xiaomiao's words, she had never done this before.
Ping'er, who has always gossiped on the side, also saw that something was wrong.
"Oh~" She smiled meaningfully, causing Chu Lan to slap her lightly in a hurry.
"Don't think about it!"
"Then you quickly bring out what happened yesterday, otherwise it will not be able to bypass you." Ping'er pretended to be fierce.
"Yesterday, Mrs. sent me to the front hall to see, those guests didn't think the food was delicious, and they were about to leave the table, I was in a hurry, so I wanted to come forward to theorize, but Li Yu next to me saw me, and immediately grabbed me, telling me where the maids in the palace could come to the front hall casually, let me go back quickly."
Chu Lan's appearance didn't look like she was lying, Lin Xiaomiao heard her say that the guests disliked the dishes were not delicious, and she was a little stunned, she was absent-minded yesterday, could it be true that she messed up the dishes? No wonder that Jinyu has a bad attitude towards her, it seems that because she smashed a good banquet, this wedding has become a bit nondescript.
Isn't that ...... Lin Xiaomiao suddenly thought that if yesterday's banquet was said as a joke, the face of this Jueyang Mansion would not know where to put it, and Mu Yi would have to become a laughing stock.
Lin Xiaomiao couldn't help but regret that she was absent-minded at the beginning, and she patted her head a little annoyed, but she would listen patiently, if Chu Lan really fell in love with this guard named Li Yu, then she had to take a good look at the guard's personality and family, and she couldn't easily promise a kiss to the two.
"Later, I insisted on going, and Li Yu had no choice but to drag me to the back door of the front hall, warn me, and tell me that he would go to ask me what was wrong with this dish."
Chu Lan looked at Ping'er and Lin Xiaomiao's expressions, and her face couldn't help but turn a little red.
Later, he told me that his wife's dish yesterday was salty, and the heat was not right, and it tasted strange, which caused the guests to be very dissatisfied. I thanked him and was leaving, I didn't think that this hairpin didn't know when it fell to the ground, I didn't pay attention, I went back to the room yesterday to find out, but I thought it was just a hairpin, nothing mattered, so I didn't say anything. ”
Ping'er's eyes became more and more gossipy: "I said that you seemed to have something different yesterday, but after looking and looking, I didn't find anything wrong, it turned out that the hairpin was missing." ”
She elbowed her arm against Ding Chulan: "Tell me quickly, do you have a situation with that guard?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense! We've just met twice. ”
Lin Xiaomiao looked at Chu Lan and blushed, she already had a plan in her heart, and looked at the sky, Yin Shi was almost halfway through, and the three of them couldn't spend it here anymore.
"Okay, don't make trouble, when we get back to Tanyuan, we will interrogate Chu Lan well, now let's go to the back kitchen first, lest we wait for the county lord of Jinyu to pull our pigtails again."
Lin Xiaomiao stopped Ping'er, and the three of them continued to walk towards the back kitchen.
She couldn't help but feel that the medicine yesterday was magical, and this morning she woke up without any pain, and she walked flexibly, where did this Aoki get such a good medicine?
When I got to the kitchen, I saw that Ziyan had been waiting here for a long time.
"You are finally willing to come, the eldest lady is about to get up before arriving, you have to remember that you are no longer a lady! Hurry up and cook! ”
She put on a high-minded appearance and gave an order to Lin Xiaomiao, Lin Xiaomiao still felt a little sorry in her heart for Li Yu's words in the morning, so she didn't say anything, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she was going to walk towards the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, this purple smoke stopped Ping'er and Chu Lan: "The eldest lady didn't say that she could let these two maids help you." ”
