Chapter Twenty-Four: Out of the Mud, Unstained
Song Lingxi leaned on the head of the bed and didn't look at Chu Yiyun, Chu Yiyun took Song Lingxi's hand and comforted: "Okay, don't be angry, the queen mother said about the side concubine, but I have rejected it, the Qi Palace's troublesome essence is enough for you, where can you still tolerate others"
Song Lingxi withdrew his hand: "I can't tolerate people outside the palace, but what about the people inside the palace?"
"What do you mean by the people in the palace?"
"Don't you understand?"
"Don't understand?"
"You're still pretending to be confused"
"I'm pretending to be confused, I really don't understand what you mean"
"Fleur, get it"
"What's wrong with Fleur?"
"What's wrong with Fleur, I still want to ask you what's wrong with Fleur, she's such a good girl, why do you hurt her, why do you abandon her and don't want to marry her so far"
Chu Yiyun suddenly stood up and said a little inexplicably: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, when did I do anything to Furong?" What is the beginning of chaos and the end of abandonment? Furong was bought by me from Piaoxianglou when she was eight years old, although she is just a maid in the palace, but in the past eight years, I have given her good food and clothing, and I have raised her like a daughter, and everyone in the whole house knows it, and the person she likes is Yang Yong, why should I marry her? If you didn't hear it wrong, it must be Fleur's head is broken."
Song Lingxi bit her finger and suddenly opened her brain, so it makes sense because the golden hairpin was given by Yang Yong, although it is not valuable enough, but Hibiscus still wears it on her head like a treasure, oh my God, how could she make such a mistake, Song Lingxi quietly hid in the quilt: "Eh...... It's not early at that time, so go back and rest early."
Chu Yiyun was puzzled when he looked at Song Lingxi's heart as if he understood something, slowly sat at the head of the bed and gently lifted Song Lingxi's quilt, leaned over with a shallow smile and said: "Princess, you are so bad, since you use this method to test me, it seems that you must be punished today."
Song Lingxi hurriedly covered his mouth: "How to punish." ”
Chu Yiyun raised the corners of her mouth and gently broke her hand, and pressed her dishonest hands on the couch: "Don't you already know?"
"Miss, the lotus seed soup you asked for is here"
But it's a pity that he broke in before he kissed the peony, Chu Yiyun hurriedly sat up and brushed his somewhat messy clothes, and the peony was so ashamed that his little face was red: "Wang...... The master is also here, and the slave and maid retired first."
Peony put down the tray and flew out of the room at a high speed.
Chu Yiyun came to the bedside with lotus seed soup: "Peony is gone, so I can only let this king personally serve the princess."
"I'm not hungry now, you can go back first when you want to sleep."
Chu Yiyun guessed that Song Lingxi was still embarrassed by what happened just now, and he didn't want to tease her anymore today: "Okay, I'll let Peony in."
Since Song Lingxi's foot injury, Hibiscus and Peony, who were on duty at the door in shifts, moved into the house to lay on the floor.
Song Lingxi looked at the peony who was busy in the house and asked, "Peony, I think Yang Yong seems to be interested in hibiscus, do you see it?" ”
"Miss, I already knew, this is not a secret in the palace, Yang Yongge and Furong are childhood sweethearts, which is also a matter of common sense"
"Then do you know why Fleur dresses better than the other girls?"
"You know, Furong is the goddaughter of the prince, and the food and clothing are all allocated according to the status of the county lord."
Song Lingxi stretched his neck and pretended not to know anything and asked, "Goddaughter?" How old is Chu Yiyun, how can he have a daughter as old as Furong?"
"It seems that when the prince bought the hibiscus back, Furong thanked the prince so he said that the prince was like her reborn parents, who knew that the prince laughed and said then you will be my daughter, Miss, why did you suddenly ask about this"
"It's okay, let's sleep"
This time, Song Lingxi was a small-bellied chicken intestine who mistook Chu Yiyun, but her heart naturally took a step closer to Chu Yiyun.
After lying down for a few days, Song Lingxi was really bored, and while Hibiscus was trimming the flowers and plants in the room, he dragged his legs to the window chaise longue, lying on the window, breathing the fresh air outside the window.
Furong hurriedly threw away the scissors and came to Song Lingxi's side: "Niangniang, why did you get up by yourself, your feet are not good yet"
"It's all right, don't you think you can all go? Lying in bed every day, my legs are numb and my waist is sore."
"It turns out that my mother's leg is numb, I'll help you beat it."
After Furong finished speaking, she squatted on the ground to help Song Lingxi beat her legs, the smile on her face was still as bright as ever, since Song Lingxi first saw Furong, she was like this, Song Lingxi suddenly had a question in her heart, isn't Furong unhappy? An inferior person from a humble background was also sold to the Qinglou, and now she is also a descendant of the palace, how can she be so happy every day.
"Furong, I heard that you were bought by the prince from Piaoxiang Building."
"It's not Piaoxiang Building, it's Yixiang Building. However, Yixiang Building and Piaoxiang Building are both green buildings."
"Eight years ago, you were only seven or eight years old, how could you be sold to that kind of place?"
"Fleur's life is thin, these things are a long story, if you are not afraid of dirty ears, Fleur will tell you"
"Fleur, what are you talking about, I think you are my sister"
"Of course Fleur knows that Niangniang is good to Fleur, my original name is not Fleur called Little Sister, my father is gone when I was born, the countryside people are illiterate, and I caught up with my father to die, and then I was too lazy to give me the name Brother called me Little Sister, and the people in the village slowly called me Little Sister. When I was six years old, my mother was gone, so I lived with my brother and sister-in-law, and then there was a famine, and my brother and sister-in-law couldn't support the children, so my sister-in-law secretly sold me into Yixiang Yuan."
Song Lingxi, who was lying down, sat up and scolded angrily: "Your sister-in-law, how can she be like this, how many big families in the imperial capital sell to which house to be a girl, she has to sell you to that kind of place"
"Because I was too young to do much work at that time, the big family only paid two taels of silver, and the Qinglou could get five taels."
"What about your brother, doesn't he care?"
"My brother can't help it, he just wants to raise his children"
"They're too much, do you hate them?"
"I don't hate, I want to thank them, if it weren't for their ruthlessness, I wouldn't have met the prince, Yixiang doesn't support idlers because I'm still young, so I do chores in the kitchen during the day, and I have to help the guests beat their legs at night. That day, the rich merchant Zhao Gongzi lost to the son of the patrol lord because of the battle of the Oiran, and it happened that I spilled tea on him, so he sprinkled his anger on me, not only beat and scolded me, but also insisted on scrapping my hands, fortunately, the prince appeared in time to save me, and brought me into the palace to give me good food and clothing, the prince gave me the name of hibiscus means out of the mud and not stained, but the prince caused a lot of trouble because of this"
"Why?"
