"Linghu shouldn't be your real name, right?Tell me, what's your name?" asked Qing Qian with a smile.

Linghu was stunned for a moment, paused and said, "I have no father or mother, and I don't know what my original name is. Before following King Jin, everyone called me Qin Zhen, and now Linghu is my name. ”

The smile on Qingqian's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and he lowered his head slightly and whispered, "I'm about the same." I picked it up by my brother by the river, and the water in that river is very clear, and my brother often swims there in the summer, so he calls me shallow.

My mother is the emperor's nurse and has been in the palace all the time. I haven't seen her much since I was a child, and she was brought up by my brother and my brother to feed me. When he couldn't find milk, he went to milk the horse, and was kicked by the horse.

When I was twelve years old, my mother saw that I was still messing around with my brother every day, so she begged the queen to allow me to enter the palace.

The princess was only six years old at the time, and she pestered me every day. At first, the queen thought I was a wild girl, and she was afraid that she would take the princess badly, so she was ready to send me out of the palace. It was the princess who starved a day of food as a threat that kept me in the palace. ”

Linghu listened and observed Qing's shallow expression, and saw that she didn't have too much sad expression, so he breathed a sigh of relief. is also a fallen person at the end of the world, but he is lucky to meet a master who treats him sincerely. Qingqian also has an older brother who is like his parents, which is even more rare.

"Now that you have come to Dashenyue alone, aren't you very homesick?" Linghu felt a little pity in his heart. According to his age, Qing Qian is six years older than Lin Wanyan, so he is now twenty-two years old, two years younger than Linghu.

Qingqian smiled, "I don't get close to my mother, my father also died of illness, after my brother got married, my sister-in-law didn't treat me very well, and I rarely went back after entering the palace." After the princess came to Dashenyue, it was difficult for me to be alone in the palace. Now that he can be by the princess's side, Fang feels that where the princess is, home will be there. ”

Linghu didn't know what to say for a while, so he just smiled lightly and was silent. It was not easy to think that Qingqian had a hard time in the past, and he developed such a pungent temperament, either because his family background was very good and he had the confidence to be arrogant, or he was often bullied and had to resist.

"I used to think about my own parents, and I wanted to ask them why they were so cruel to lose me in the first place. When I grew up, I felt that my brother and princess treated me so well, and I shouldn't have so many complaints. Qing Qian smiled and continued.

It's not that she hasn't searched for it, on the contrary, she has been looking for it silently for several years since she became sensible. When the neighbors scolded her for being born to someone else by a woman who didn't know how to do it, she especially wanted to find her mother and see if her background was really so unbearable.

The search was fruitless, and the person gradually grew up, and many things were thought about. At least I should be grateful to my brother for picking her up and pulling her up like a child. After entering the palace, the princess protected her everywhere, what else did she want to ask for?

Linghu was stunned, took out a small jade ring from his arms, held it in his hand, and whispered: "I have never looked for it, I think they have something unspeakable, but the token they left me, I have always kept it." ”

This small ring used to be worn on his thumb, and after he got lost with his parents, he did not pawn the ring for silver, even if he begged for a living.

Qing Qian took the jade ring from Linghu's hand and looked at it carefully, this ring was not as big as her little finger, but it was as wide as half of her little finger, and it was obviously a wrench. And this jade is still a high-grade white jade, which is not something that ordinary people can have. Then look at the inside of the wrench and engrave the word "Yan".

"You have no father and no mother, where did this thing come from? This is not an ordinary token, in our Tangling, only the eldest son of a large family can wear a jade wrench, and it is only after enlightenment that it is worn by a respected clan, and the weak crown ceremony is replaced with a suitable size, which is generally passed down from generation to generation. Qing Qian looked at Linghu, so he was still from a big family.

Linghu's eyes widened, there was no such custom in Dashenyue, he had always only kept it as a token.

"I was separated from my parents and begged all the way to Nanquecheng, and I don't remember anything about my childhood. Linghu replied honestly.

Qing Qian carefully looked at the words engraved on the inside of the wrench, and frowned slightly, "You can show the princess this jade wrench, I look unusual." I don't think I've seen the carved word somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while. ”

Linghu smiled, this is also too far, Donglin and the Great God are so far apart, how can he travel so long distances at such a young age? Besides, he has no heart for his own life experience, and he is living quite well now.

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious, I see that this word is the way we write Tanglin, and if I don't believe it, I'll ask the princess to give you her longevity lock for comparison, and the designation is the same. Qing Qian said seriously.

After coming for a few days, she found that the Great Shenyue and Tanglin characters are the same, but the writing is different, and some of the strokes of Tanglin are more cumbersome.

"No, it's just an old thing. All these years have passed, and if they were going to come looking for me, they would have come long ago. Besides, Tanglin is so far from here, how can I be from there. Linghu said with a faint smile.

"I don't care, if you don't ask, I'll help you ask, I'll keep this wrench first. As he spoke, he put the jade wrench into his sleeve.

Linghu stretched out his hand to get it back, but after being glared at by Qingqian, he could only give up.

After the two of them had eaten and cleaned up, they were ready to go back to King Jin's mansion. Passing by the night market, Qingqian still wanted to go shopping, and Linghu accompanied him. All the way, Qingqian was chattering non-stop, and Linghu only accosted briefly. However, as long as Qingqian likes something, Linghu always takes out the silver to pay the bill without saying a word, and Qingqian has no chance to pay back the price.

"Hey, did I say you have a lot of money? After a walk, Linghu Ke paid a lot of silver for her, bought a sandalwood comb with exquisite workmanship, a small hand stove, and a lot of food.

Linghu looked aggrieved, didn't he look at Qingqian's liking and too expensive, thinking that she was reluctant. Besides, he hadn't bought any of these things, so he didn't know what the price was.

"I don't buy anything on weekdays, King Jin also pays a lot of monthly salaries, and if you are short of silver taels in the future, I have it here. Linghu said softly.

When Qing Qian heard this, his face turned red instantly, and he glanced at Linghu, "Who wants your silver taels?

Linghu smiled faintly and didn't speak again. He knows that the master has given Qing Qian's New Year's reward as much as himself, and Qing Qian is indeed not bad for silver. Besides, she has such a good relationship with her wife, maybe in private, Mrs. will have to reward her with a lot of silver taels.

Back in King Jin's Mansion, it was already the time of Hai. Linghu didn't dare to go back from the main gate, but took Qingqian around to the back door of King Jin's mansion. The night guard opened the door and watched the two of them come in together, his eyes full of tacit speculation.

Linghu sent Qing Qian back to the courtyard where she lived, and then went back to the courtyard where the twenty-four spirits lived. He basically lives in King Jin's Mansion so that his master can find him at any time if he has any urgent matters.

At breakfast the next day, Lin Wanyan saw Qing Qian standing there from a distance, smiled meaningfully, and lowered his head slightly with a weak heart.

After finishing the meal, Lin Wanyan went for a walk in the garden with Xiao Yuwen as usual, and Qingqian slowly followed, and handed the jade wrench finger to Lin Wanyan.

Lin Wanyan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, trying his best to search for the memories in his mind, and frowned slightly. "Where did Aunt Qingqian get this thing?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuwen took the jade wrench from Lin Wanyan's hand and looked at it, but did not speak.

"Does Princess Jin feel familiar? Especially the words engraved inside. "Qing Qian didn't dare to say that this was a Linghu thing.

"What is this?" Xiao Yuwen looked at Lin Wanyan with a light smile, and when he saw that this jade wrench was not an ordinary object.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be something from Prince Yan's Mansion. But Prince Yan died in battle before I was born, and now there are only four brothers and princesses in the palace, and I rarely move around on weekdays. Lin Wanyan tried his best to recall and said.

"Hey, I'll just say, it turned out to be Prince Yan's Mansion! I've also fought with the prince!" As soon as Qing Qian finished speaking, he immediately felt that something was wrong, so Linghu was the eldest son of Prince Yan?

"Where did you get this thing? I remember that the fourth brother didn't have this thing. Lin Wanyan glanced at Qing Qian seriously.

"Yes......" Qing Qian didn't know whether to tell the truth for a while. This is a big deal, everyone in Tanglin knows that Prince Yan, who is brave and good at fighting, has been leading troops to fight for many years, and was captured in a war with Xuanmu and finally killed.

After the bad news came back, Princess Yan, who was pregnant with the fourth son at the time, was taken to the palace to recuperate, and only returned home after giving birth to a child. Later, several of Prince Yan's children died of illness and disappeared, and only the fourth son was left as the only seedling, and the emperor made an exception to crown him as the son.

"Aunt Qingqian, what are you doing?" Lin Wanyan looked at Qingqian with a puzzled expression.

"I ......" Please Qian lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "This thing belongs to Linghu, I grabbed it when I was fighting with him, and he said that it is a token that he has had since he was a child." ”

"What?" Lin Wanyan's eyes widened in shock. "How is this possible? This jade wrench finger is something that only the prince of the Yanwang Mansion will have, I can hear my father say that the prince disappeared when he was young. ”

Xiao Yuwen was also stunned for a moment, Linghu had been to Tanglin with him a few times, he remembered, but they were all errands, and he had no chance to contact these palaces in Tanglin at all.

"Linghu did tell me that, I just grabbed it because it was very unusual. Qing Qian said in a low voice.

Lin Wanyan was stunned, does this God have to arrange it like this, if this is indeed Linghu's thing, then she has to call Linghu a brother.

"Call the spirit fox to ask. Xiao Yuwen held the jade wrench finger in his hand and said lightly.

Could it be that there is such a coincidence in the world? It's just that more than ten years have passed, and I don't know if the people of the Lingye Palace can still find out the situation at that time.
