Chapter 12: A Trip to the Royal City 1

"You can write, why can't you draw?" As he spoke, Chen Ling had already taken off his clothes and stuffed them into the temporary base, "If you are not confident, take one and try it first...... By the way, there's also the trail to clean up. ”

"Yes."

Half a month later, Ju'er had drawn the map, and the trail had been cleared: "Miss, that trail can really go down the mountain!" ”

Chen Ling said happily: "Ju'er, you are awesome!" ”

On May 15, Chen Ling went around the mansion early, and returned to the Holy Maiden Pavilion with everything done, took out the map and memorized everything, and then disguised

The poor boy drilled through the hole, ran all the way down the path, and reached the foot of the mountain after a stick of incense. Chen Ling looked at the desolate path in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be a way to escape." ”

But she didn't want to run away. The so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, and her future residence is in the royal city.

Chen Ling grabbed the deflated burden and ran to the city gate, watching the soldiers searching their bodies, he was slightly flustered, squatted down and wiped a handful of soil on his face.

"Why are you here?" The soldiers said fiercely.

Chen Ling lowered his head and lowered his voice: "There was a flood at home, my father and mother died, and my home was gone, so I came to Wangcheng to join my relatives." ”

"Bring the stuff!"

Chen Ling handed it over obediently. The soldier checked and saw that there was only a string of copper plates, and quickly let her through.

She rented a carriage, and took a cursory look at the four major urban areas, the three major restaurants, the two major winds, smoke alleys, willows, and large and small streets, and when she raised her eyes, the sky was dark.

She didn't walk much, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move: "This physical fitness is not good." "I'm going to have to work out more in the future.

The gates of the royal city are closed at the end of the day and opened at the end of the day.

But she didn't know how to observe the sky at all, and she had a poor concept of time, and when she returned the carriage, she was told that it was already late and missed the opportunity.

Chen Ling took out the usual copper plate again, checked it and said, "Can you send me to Hualiu Lane in the east of the city?" ”

When the vendor saw the money, he bowed down and said, "Okay! Guests please! ”

At a moment's notice, the carriage stopped at a corner. Chen Ling came out, looked at the 'Hualiu Lane' street sign, and threw a hanging of money back: "Thank you." ”

Hualiu Lane, named Lane, is actually a street, but various stall displays make this street much narrower. There are three silks hanging above the alleyway, and the silk is covered with various lanterns, and the lights are yellow, and the further you go inside, the brighter the lights become. When I arrived at the Flower Pavilion, it seemed to be no different from the daytime. The people who came and went were all dressed in fine silk.

Chen Ling said incredulously: "It's even more lively than a modern night market!" ”

Before asking the flower pavilion, everyone looked at the balcony on the second floor and discussed: "Tonight, the peony girl dances!" ”

"I heard that the peony girl is captivating the country and the city, and she has an outstanding ......"

"Or the daughter of the former Tobe squire......"

……

Chen Ling squeezed his small body and leaned in, and asked curiously: "How can I see the peony girl?" ”

A man glanced at her, covered in gray face, and said in disgust: "You still want to see Peony when you wait for poor and sour news?" What wishful thinking! ”

At this time, the old bustard said loudly: "Feast! Officials, please hurry~haha~"

All the small servants crowded in, filling the threshold and emptying the seats.

The people who grabbed the seats happily stepped inside, and the rest of the people scattered in all directions, leaving only Chen Ling alone.

She looked at the plump and enchanting middle-aged woman, her face was declining, and her phoenix eyes were mixed with fierceness, and she ran over and said, "You are the mother who asked Hua Ge?" ”

The old bustard glanced at her impatiently, suddenly changed his temper, and said with a smile: "Yes, does the child want to come and ask Huage to take a look?" ”

Chen Ling thought to himself that this was a perfect opportunity: "Hmm. I have no father or mother, and I sleep in the open...... When I heard that the women here were fed, I wanted to come and beg for food. ”

"I've wronged you~" said, the old bustard wiped her face with a handkerchief, the skin under the stain was fair and smooth, "Mom, I will take you to take a bath and eat a full meal!" Haha~"

Chen Ling nodded obediently and said, "Yes." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Ling came out of the bathtub, put on her clothes, and was weighed by the bustard for a long time before she heard her satisfied laughter: "Sure enough, it's a beautiful embryo, but have you ever studied?" ”

"When I was a child, a good Samaritan taught me a few words." Like Ju'er, the princess taught her to read when she was relieved.

The old bustard squinted his eyes and pointed to the letter on the side: "Very good~ Then sign this deed of sale." ”

Chen Ling walked over to take a look, then picked up the pen and drew two strokes, directly filled the entire paper, and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, my words are a bit big." ”

"It's okay~ Just practice more in the future~ Come, I'll take you to dinner." After that, the old bustard covered Chen Ling with a veil, only revealing a pair of eyes, took her hand and walked to the hall, and sat down in the third room on the west side of the fourth floor.

It was filled with all kinds of fine food, all of which she had never seen before. Chen Ling didn't eat dinner, he was already hungry, and he swallowed his saliva directly at this glance: "Mom, I'm welcome!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome! Haha~ You are delicious, the banquet has begun, Mom, I want to go over and support a field. When he had finished speaking, the bustard went out.

Chen Ling took two bites, wiped the oil stains with his veil, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a girl guarding him, so he asked, "Sister, where is the peony girl?" ”

The girl bowed her head and said, "The first room on the east side of the third floor...... Oh girl, you can't go out! ”

"You follow me, are you afraid that I won't be able to escape?"

Soon, Chen Ling arrived at the first room on the east side of the third floor, and the two strong men outside glared at her and said, "What are you doing here?" Don't get out of here! ”

Chen Ling raised his eyebrows: "Peony girl is here?" ”

"If you want to find a peony girl, let's become an Oiran first!"

She squinted and glanced at the door: "Tell her that I know about the king, if she is interested......"

Before he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from inside: "Let her in." ”

Under the hall, a man looked upstairs, his eyes were stunned, and he rushed up like crazy, and said urgently: "Ling'er! ”

Before Chen Ling was caught, he was kicked down the stairs by a strong man.

Chen Ling didn't care, walked into the door, and looked at the wonderful woman in front of him, sure enough, she was a generation of beauties, and she was beautiful: "It's a pity that you are such a beauty." ”

If it weren't for the land of smoke and willows, she would definitely be the first beauty in the royal city.

Peony didn't have time to say this: "Do you know about the king? ”

Chen Ling said: "The king said that if you want to find him, you will come to you." That's why I'm here. ”

"He'll be there tonight." As he spoke, Peony's brows furrowed.

Not only tonight, I have rarely seen him in these three months.

Chen Ling also had a bitter face: "Then can you contact him?" ”

Every morning, she has to listen to the report in the lobby of the mansion, and no one will be sure to be seen by Yu Xin at that time.

"Would you like to give it a try. I," Peony walked over to the table and dropped a few strokes and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Chen Ling wrote three big characters on another piece of rice paper: "Yu Lingling." ”

Peony dropped a few more strokes, crumpled the note into a small roll, opened the window, summoned a white dove, and stuffed it into the letter on its ankle. As soon as he raised his hand, the pigeon flew to the northwest.
