Chapter 42: The Dust Settles

Looking sideways at Nangong Jingchen, Bai Lilan smiled: "You are smart, you have guessed everything." ”

"I want to guess you, it's actually very simple," Nangong Jingchen looked at the clear sky and said calmly, "With your jealous and hateful nature, you won't easily let go of people who have the courage to calculate you, but just now you let go of your aunt, and it is not difficult to guess the calculation in your heart when you think about the cause and effect." You guided your aunt step by step to today's situation in order to clear the unstable obstacles in the palace. Lan'er, this is already your home, if you have been wronged, you can tell me, let me stand up for you, and you don't have to risk your life. ”

Pointing her finger to her chin, Bai Lilan pursed her lips slightly, and said playfully, "You are very meticulous in your observation." But Nangong Jingchen, are you so unconfident, don't believe in my feelings and dependence on you? ”

"I have self-knowledge, I know that you don't love me enough," Nangong Jingchen smiled self-deprecatingly.

Nangong Jingchen said seriously, so that Bai Lilan couldn't help but put away the joke. Looking at Nangong Jingchen, who was light and breezy, Baili Lan turned her head, wrapped the cloak on her body tightly, and said lightly: "The wind is up, spring breeze, let's go back." ”

Before winter comes, the servants of the royal palace will take out the quilts and cotton clothes for the winter and dry them in the sunny afternoon to ensure that these items can help people survive the cold winter.

Holding a cup of warm tea in her hand, Baili Lan sat in the courtyard, watching the busy figures of the maids, alone in a daze.

Facing the light, the spring breeze quietly walked to Baili Lan's side, bowed down and said, "County Lord, the nurse is asking to see you outside." ”

Putting down the teacup, Bai Lilan adjusted her sitting posture and said indifferently: "Isn't she recuperating, why did she come over?" ”

"The slave doesn't know. However, the nurse seems to be in good spirits today, and may be recuperating well in the past few days. ”

Bai Lilan's posture did not change, and she said lazily: "Okay, let her in." ”

After a while, the nurse followed behind the spring breeze, walked in front of Baili Lan, saluted and said goodbye thoroughly, and then stood aside in a proper manner, with a humble expression.

The nurse is in the palace, but she has always had her nostrils facing the sky, and she is very angry, and she grovels in front of Baili Lan today, which can't help but make her curious.

Pointing to the seat next to her, Baili Lan said softly: "The nurse is not in good health and can't stand for a long time, so let's sit down and talk." ”

"How can a slave have a reason to sit with his master, please forgive the old slave for not obeying his fate."

The abnormal appearance of the nurse made Bai Lilan bend the corners of her mouth and look up and down: "I heard me right, such humble words can be said by the nurse?" Isn't it because you have something to ask me for today? ”

Bai Lilan's banter made the nurse a little surprised, she stared at the tip of her shoe, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please don't tease the old slave princess." A few days ago, it was the old slave who misunderstood the county lord and thought that the county lord had ill intentions towards the palace, so he targeted the county lord everywhere. Please have a lot of Lord County, and be able to forgive the old slave's previous foolish behavior. After saying this, the nurse bowed to Baili Lan again, and this time she did not get up, and kept kneeling there, as if waiting for Bai Lilan's answer.

Stretching out her hand to help the nurse up, Bai Lilan said: "What you do is sincerely related to the palace, what is the crime?" And you have never harmed me, but you have been used by traitors, and you don't need to ask for my forgiveness. ”

"You can't say that, it's the old slave's old eyes that are dizzy, and he follows the wrong person, which will put the princess in danger, in the final analysis, it's the old slave's fault."

Since the nurse wanted to admit her mistake so much, Bai Lilan fulfilled her, and didn't continue the words, but just smiled lightly, making people unable to understand her emotions.

Seeing that Baili Lan stopped talking, the nurse had to say to herself: "Actually, the prince can't forgive the old slave, and the old slave is understandable." But I hope that the princess will not resent the prince because of this, he is innocent, but the poor old woman is lonely. ”

"The contrast between the attitudes of the nurse before and after is really breathtaking," Bai Lilan looked at the nurse and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "If I remember correctly, you also said it before, let me stay away from Nangong Jingchen." The difference between this is only half a month, why did the nurse change so much? ”

A little embarrassed and smiled, the nurse said embarrassedly: "Actually, Aunt Fang is to blame for this." The old slave got close to Aunt Fang before, because she was the princess's own sister, and there had never been a mistress in this palace, so the old servant treated her as half a mistress and treated her quietly. The old servant didn't read much, and the old servant believed whatever Aunt Fang said, and never felt that what she said would be wrong. Aunt Fang has always wanted Miss Rosewood to marry the prince, and the old servant also knows this, and once thought that Miss Rosewood and the prince are a pair made in heaven, so after learning that the emperor gave you to the prince, she had a rebellious heart. Aunt Fang also told the old servant that she didn't like this princess, and also said a lot of old things about the princess, and criticized them one by one, and said that if possible, she must be driven out of the palace. The old servant listened to it at the time, and only thought that our son should be worthy of a better girl, so he also misunderstood you. But although the old slave had a misunderstanding in his heart, he never had the idea of eradicating you, and that bottle of tea was also made by Aunt Fang, in order to borrow the old slave and get rid of you! No, the old slave also heard about Aunt Fang a few days ago, and felt that he should come to you to confess his guilt in person, hoping that the princess would have a large number of them, and no longer care about the ridiculous things that the old slave did. ”

After listening to the nurse's words, Bai Lilan roughly knew the purpose of her coming today. It seems that she is really thinking about the Lanling Palace, even if there is a little potential threat, she will fight hard to eradicate it. It's a pity that this power will be a stumbling block if it is not used for yourself.

Slowly sitting up straight, Bai Lilan said: "The nurse said seriously, since you said that it was a misunderstanding, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the estrangement should also disappear." In the future, you and I will still work together for the sake of the palace, so that the prince and the prince will have no worries, so that they can better benefit the court and the people of the world. ”

Hearing Bai Lilan say such a righteous Ling Ran, the nurse's eyes turned red. She knelt in front of Baili Lan, kowtowed three times sincerely, and said: "It was the old slave who was blind and harmed people by mistake before, the princess can ignore the past suspicions, it turns out that the old slave, the old slave in this life, even if he is a cow and a horse, he must repay the princess!" ”

"The nurse is serious." Stretching out her hand to cover her lips, Bai Lilan said a little tiredly, "It's strange, why is your body so tired, I obviously slept early last night." ”

Seeing Baili Lan say this, the nurse hurriedly said: "Since the princess is tired, let's take a rest for a while, the old slave has retired." ”

The nurse wiped the corners of her eyes, bowed down and retreated step by step, while Baili Lan stared at the nurse like that.

Xia Yu noticed Baili Lan's strange appearance, looked in the direction of the nurse, and muttered, "Nothing unusual, what is the county lord looking at?" ”

Squinting slightly, Baili Lan pointed to the stone arch, and the woman who was patting the quilt asked, "Who is that person?" ”

Xia Yu stood on tiptoe for a while, and said suspiciously, "Who is the county lord talking about?" There are a couple of maidservants over there. ”

"It's the one who wears red clothes and combs his hair in two buns."

"Oh, she," Xia Yu smiled and said, "She is a newly assigned maidservant named Chun'er, and she is very diligent. Don't look at your young age, it's very easy to work. ”

"Chun'er......" Bai Lilan read the name softly, and after a deep sigh, she ordered, "You go and call Chun'er, I have something to ask her." ”

Although I didn't know how Bai Lilan came up with Chun'er, Xia Yu still hurried over and called Chun'er, who was working.

Chun'er's courage was very small, and when she walked in front of Baili Lan, her head was always lowered, and her voice was as small as a mosquito humming.

"Slave Chun'er, I've seen the princess!"

Xia Yu laughed twice, patted Chun'er's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, the county master is very good, and he won't eat you, so he speaks louder!" ”

Originally, it was to comfort Chun'er, but the strength of Xia Yu's palm was a little strong, and Chun'er didn't come up in one breath and coughed a few times. At this time, Chun'er was even more nervous, and her pretty face was flushed.

"Okay, don't toss people. You go down first. Bai Lilan waved her hand and asked Xia Yu to go and do the others first.

Secretly sticking out his tongue, Xia Yu grimaced at Chun'er and turned to leave.

Without Xia Yu, Chun'er seemed to be more nervous, and she didn't even know where to put her hand. Sneaking up and glancing up, she found that Baili Lan was looking at herself, and Chun'er was frightened and hurriedly leaned over and knelt down.

Looking at the trembling Chun'er, Baili Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and said lazily: "Okay, it's just you and me here, there is no need to pretend." ”

"Slaves, slaves don't know what the county lord is talking about!"

"Are you sure you don't know what I'm talking about?" Bai Lilan supported her cheek with one hand, tapped the fingers of the other hand on the table, and said slowly, "Where did you say that Emperor Beining found such a villain as you, even I was almost deceived by you." ”

Chun'er's movements stopped, and then she raised her pretty face slightly, and a pair of black and white eyes were rolling around, revealing a touch of cunning. Seeing that Baili Lan was looking at herself, Chun'er simply raised her body, showed a bright and simple smile, and said, "It's strange, how did the county lord find out that the slave maid was the person of the Emperor of Beining?" In order to infiltrate the palace, the slave and maid put in a lot of effort. ”

"As long as it's a disguise, there will be flaws." Bai Lilan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Look at my stupid girls, I haven't let them do rough work either, but their waists can only be said to be soft, but they can't be said to be flexible." As for you, with a snake at your waist and a staggered posture, you can see at a glance that you are a skilled dancer. Such a person will condescend to the palace and be an obscure rough girl? There must be something else going on here. If I think about it carefully, if I can let people sneak into the palace and be placed next to me, that person will be the Emperor of Bac Ninh. ”

Listening to Baili Lan's analysis, Chun'er couldn't help but clapped her hands and exclaimed: "I really deserve to be the lord of Lan, my vision is really sharp." This time, the emperor explained to the slave maid, the lord of Lan County is a cunning mermaid, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be used by it, and you don't know if you are not sold. ”

"Heh, Emperor Beining really overestimated me." Stretching out his hand to help Chun'er up, Baili Lan said, "Emperor Beining placed you next to me in order to monitor me and pass on the news, but it's a pity that I just came to Lanling, and the situation has not yet been figured out, and I have not found any news about textile technology for the time being." ”
