XXXVI. The impudent princess
Xiao Yuwen's lips moved slightly, but he still didn't make a sound, and his eyes staring at the wooden box were full of confusion.
"Master......" Ling Mu called in a low voice, he had never seen his master so out of shape.
"Hmm......" Xiao Yuwen slowly raised his head and looked at Ling Mu. "Are they going to Yunlan Temple today?"
"If you go back to your master, you will go to Yunlan Temple. Today, the six princesses will also go with them, and they are going to go because they were angry with the five princesses yesterday. I also made an appointment with Princess Wanyan to ride a horse today. Ling Mu replied.
"If she wants to go with her, let her go. Although Xiao Yuwen didn't have a good impression of Xiao Manxue, he also knew that she was stubborn, and her mind was much simpler than that of the other brothers and sisters. "You take five more people with you, the fifth princess can leave it alone, and the sixth princess will stay. ”
"Master......" Ling Mu is really embarrassed now, half of the twenty-four spirits have been transferred out, and then six will go, if the Baihua Palace fails to succeed and turns to deal with Xiao Yuwen, who does not have many people, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Go, come to King Yue's Mansion to find me. After Xiao Yuwen finished speaking, he opened the wooden box, put the longevity lock back in his arms, and the jade pendant and letterhead were taken back into the box, put them aside, and continued to deal with the secret letter at hand.
Tossed until the fifth watch, Lin Wanyan fell asleep grogily. After sleeping for less than an hour, the maid knocked on the door and waited for her to wash and change her clothes.
Lin Wanyan then remembered that he was going to Yunlan Temple to make incense today, and said that he would ride a horse with the six princesses, so he would naturally not be able to rest on horseback. She also knew that her face would definitely not look good, and her slightly puffy eyes could be seen in front of the bronze mirror, so she specially ordered her makeup to be thicker, so that no one could see anything.
Regarding Xiao Yuwen is the night charm of Lingye Palace, she doesn't have to think about it, she also knows that she has to keep her mouth shut, and even her relationship with Yang Chengyue and Prince Yue can't be leaked at all.
Thinking that Yang Muxue shouted "sister-in-law" so much that her face was red, she did not deny that she also liked Xiao Yuwen, that feeling was very real, and she couldn't deceive herself.
If identity and space can be transformed, they are just two ordinary people, then she will definitely follow her heart. Unfortunately, since it is a choice, it must be a dilemma.
Because she made up her mind to get rid of the fate of her relatives, she didn't want to know too much about Xiao Yuwen. Why he left the palace at a young age and has not returned, how to become a night ghost, and what plans he plans to make in the future, she didn't want to ask.
She was a cold person, and it was the first time she had come to such a conclusion. If you don't understand a person, you won't have feelings, and once you know too much about a person's past, then everything he does is understandable, even if it's murder and arson.
You don't know what other people have been through, so why should you criticize and criticize others? But once you understand it, you can't firm up your own position, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and they are always biased, and they can't always keep their senses.
The best way to avoid fall is to stay away. Therefore, Lin Wanyan decided to force herself not to be so curious about him anymore, just treat it as a dream.
Walking from her own courtyard to the main courtyard for breakfast, Lin Wanyan found that there were more guards in the house for a while, and according to her observation, there were almost all people from the Lingye Palace, but they were all wearing the clothes of the Ouchi guards.
She stopped a person who felt like Lingye Palace and called to a corner. "What's your name?"
"Back to the princess, subordinate Lingxi. "Spirit, the fifth of the twenty-four supernatural.
"Good. Why haven't I seen you before?" Last night, she asked the guards of the Lingye Palace to hand over the things to Xiao Yuwen in person, and asked him for his name, his name is Linghu, then this one called Lingxi must be the fault of the Lingye Palace. She just casually said that she hadn't seen it, and the purpose was to talk about it.
"My subordinates only came here today. "To be exact, Ling Mu got Xiao Yuwen's order early in the morning, so he brought a few of them over.
"How many people will you be with you today?" Lin Wanyan didn't know what dangers he would encounter today, but seeing Xiao Yuwen's arrangement, I am afraid that he is not optimistic.
She didn't know why she was so protective of herself that she had already told him, she never liked to owe favors to others, but now she had to wait for death except to accept it.
Thinking about it, this kind of behavior is also very despicable, when should you still give him some material reward, so that at least you will feel better.
Lingxi was a little embarrassed, it was beyond the scope of what he could answer. Originally, he should not have said a word, but because the other party was the object of his protection, and he was a princess, the master was still very concerned, so he said a few words.
"Did Night Charm tell you that you can't tell me anything, do you think I'm going to die myself?" Lin Wanyan deliberately provoked him.
Lingxi thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "With the addition of eighteen of the twenty-four supernatural beings, there are fifty people in total. ”
"Twenty-four supernatural spirits?" Lin Wanyan remembered that Chiyan had mentioned twenty-four supernatural that day, and the green warbler had an incredible expression. "Eighteen people came, and what about the other six?"
Lingxi was a little unhappy when he heard this. "Back to the princess, the twenty-four spirits are the master's personal guards, and they are not allowed to leave without reason. Twelve men had been sent the day before, and six more had been sent today, and the remaining six must be left behind to protect the master. ”
Lin Wanyan was shocked in her heart, Xiao Yuwen actually sent out all her personal guards, leaving only six people! And after she refused him, she continued to send more people to come, her heart was messy. "Why are you dressed like this today?"
"Convenience. "Today, there are two princesses of Dashenyue with me, and the most natural identity of the guard is naturally the Ouchi guard. The journey to Yunlan Temple is quite long, they can't fortify everywhere, there are a large number of people, and following from a distance will inevitably attract attention, only close protection.
"Your masters...... Is there anything abnormal today?" Lin Wanyan couldn't help but ask, and his face burned after asking, obviously telling himself not to think about it.
Lingxi paused, thinking about what information the princess wanted to get. He came with Ling Mu, but on the way, he heard something from him. "The master stayed in Yuewang's Mansion last night drunk, and he didn't come back until the fifth watch, and he was in a bad mood. ”
Staying drunk and staying in the Yue Wang's Mansion? Lin Wanyan was a little distracted. "Okay, there you go. ”
Lingxi saluted and left.
After breakfast, Zhen Lie was about to have a chat with Lin Wanyan, when someone came to report that the sixth princess of the great god Yue was coming.
Before Zhenlie and Lin Wanyan walked to the door, Xiao Manxue hurriedly walked in. "Princess Wanyan, can you be a little slower? You know that since I was caught by my Eighth Emperor Uncle in Suxin Tower last time, I haven't come out in the palace for several days!"
Zhen Lie frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the sixth princess of Dashenyue would be like this, and she looked like she could make a fuss more than this sister of his. This sister of mine is willful, but she still doesn't lose the amount of etiquette she should have.
Lin Wanyan looked at Xiao Manxue, who was so angry that she didn't look like a princess in front of her, but smiled, it seems that the previous unhappiness was written off, I have to say that she still likes Xiao Manxue's temperament, it may be a little babbling, but it is very real.
"Let the sixth princess wait for a long time, and hope to forgive the sins!" Lin Wanyan said with a smile.
"Don't talk about this, I don't like to hear it!" Xiao Manxue waved her hand like a man, and looked at Lin Wanyan, she was wearing a lake-green dress today, so sweet. "I know that you are not prepared, how can you ride a horse like this? Luo Lan, bring the clothes to Princess Wanyan!"
Lin Wanyan noticed that although Xiao Manxue was wearing a beige white dress today, it was improved, with a close-fitting coat outside the inner garment and a waist, like a man's clothing, which was relatively tight, and was indeed much lighter than the skirt on weekdays.
The maid who was called Luo Lan quickly held the clothes in her hand and walked up to Lin Wanyan.
"I have worn one of my two new clothes today, and I will give it to you. Xiao Manxue said casually, she likes to hang out outside the palace, and it must be inconvenient to wear a princess's clothes.
"Then thank you to the sixth princess!" Lin Wanyan just smiled, she thought that if she refused, this girl would probably turn her face with her.
"Don't talk nonsense, go and change! I'll be waiting for you here. Xiao Manxue scratched her scalp with her hand, she was very impatient to wait for others.
Lin Wanyan turned around and walked towards his yard, and the green warbler took the clothes in Luo Lan's hand and hurriedly followed. She and Chi Yan had heard of the six princesses for a long time, and everything was not strange.
But Zhen Lieke, who had been hanging aside, was shocked, according to the etiquette, he should invite people into the main hall to wait, but the six princesses didn't seem to want to go in.
Xiao Manxue glanced at Zhen Lie casually, and looked at him as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to laugh a little. "You are Prince Zhenlie? Yes, the rumors are true, Prince Zhenlie is handsome, and Princess Wanyan looks captivating. ”
Zhen Lie was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled politely: "The sixth princess has won the prize!"
Xiao Manxue glared at Zhen Lie angrily, "Do you think I look like a person who likes to talk about the scene?
Zhen Lie was completely stunned, how could this sixth princess play cards so unreasonably, so that he couldn't parry it at all, and he could only be silent when he couldn't answer.
Seeing Zhen Lie like this, Xiao Manxue laughed without any image. "Don't embarrass you! Let's go, Prince Zhenyeol probably wants to invite me to sit inside and wait. ”
"Six princesses, please!" Zhenyeol was helpless, but still kept a polite smile.
When Lin Wanyan changed his clothes and came to the main hall, he saw the scene of Zhen Lie sitting there elegantly drinking tea, while Xiao Manxue sat cross-legged and lowered her head to play with the teacup in her hand, looking bored.
"Let's go!" Xiao Manxue jumped up, stood firmly on the ground, threw the teacup in her hand on the table, didn't look at Zhen Lie next to her, and walked straight out.
This not only frightened Zhen Lie, but also surprised Lin Wanyan, these six princesses are really informal.
"Brother, then I'll go. Lin Wanyan smiled and said to Zhenyeol.
Xiao Manxue glanced back at Zhen Lie at this time, and he had already stood up. "Prince Zhenlie stays, let's go by ourselves!"
Lin Wanyan smiled, and Zhen Lie was speechless, but he did sit down again.
