Chapter 289: Loyalty
Lin Jingjing was startled, and when she looked back, it was Huoxiang beside the queen who walked slowly.
"Ah, I ......" Lin Jingjing was a little speechless.
"Are you here to say hello to your mother? Why don't you go in? Huoxiang smiled, "Niangniang talked about you a few days ago!" ”
"Oh, I just...... Just passing by, the princess also explained that I didn't finish the matter! Say hello to my mother another day! After Lin Jingjing finished speaking, she blessed her body, turned her head and left quickly.
Huoxiang looked at her distant figure and stood in place for a moment, with a little puzzlement in her eyes.
"Niangniang, when the maid came back, I saw the little lady of the Lin family wandering at the gate of the palace. I asked her, but I said I was passing by, so I hurried away, looking like I had something on my mind. Huoxiang said when she entered the dormitory of Qingning Palace.
When Liang Yan heard this, she raised her eyes from her youngest son Li Xu, "The little lady of the Lin family? ”
Huoxiang nodded, "Yes, Niangniang, you said, the little lady of the Lin family is preoccupied, could it be related to the princess?" ”
Liang Yan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "You asked her, but she said it was okay?" ”
"Yes, I looked at her, she had been wandering at the gate of Qingning Palace for a while, I stepped forward to ask her, but she said that she was passing by, so she hurriedly ran away." Huoxiang nodded.
"Xu has something to say, but I feel that it is inappropriate...... Liang Yan hesitated.
"Or about Princess Anding?" Huoxiang whispered.
Liang Yan teased Li Xu who was lying on the rocking bed, and chuckled, "Forget it, let's not guess, if it's Ning Xin'er's business, you should let me know, Ning Xin'er will definitely not hide it from me." ”
Huoxiang nodded slowly, but her face was still a little worried. Niangniang's heart is too big, isn't she very nervous about stabilizing the princess on weekdays? How did you really ignore it?
At dusk, Huoxiang came to Liang Yan's side again.
Liang Yan thought that she was going to ask when the meal would be served, but she approached quietly and said cautiously: "Niangniang, the maid thinks something is really wrong!" ”
Liang Yan was slightly stunned, "Huh? ”
Huoxiang glanced out of the door and whispered: "Shicai Bihe came back and said that she saw the little lady of the Lin family wandering in the corner of Qingning Palace, she wanted to go up and ask, but before she could get closer, the little lady of the Lin family avoided it." ”
At this time, Liang Yan's face also became solemn.
"In this way, I'm afraid she has encountered some problems that she can't think of, right? Want to say it, but don't know whether to say it or not? ”
Huoxiang nodded again and again, "According to Niangniang, do you want to call her over and ask?" ”
Liang Yan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "You go and see, if she is still outside the Qingning Palace, bring her over." If she had already left, she wouldn't have to summon her, lest Ning Xin'er think too much. ”
"Yes!" The leader of Huoxiang Jaw ordered and went in person.
Liang Yan waited for a short time, and saw that Li Xu was sleeping very soundly, so she told the nurse to be optimistic, and walked out of the side hall lightly.
Huoxiang was walking into the hall with Lin Jingjing.
Lin Jingjing is now in the prime of her cardamom years, her body is developing, and her delicate clothes wrap her slender and vigorous figure.
Like a green plum about to ripen, it is green but also attractive.
"Say hello to the queen, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." Lin Jingjing respectfully blessed body.
"Get up, you are reading by Ning Xin'er's side, are you still used to the days in the palace?" Liang Yan asked with a chuckle.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the princess is friendly with people, and the palace people in Fengyang Pavilion are also very kind to Jing Niang, and Jing Niang is living very well. There are no sisters in the family, and I can't play with my brothers, but I live faster in the palace! Lin Jingjing whispered a little shyly.
Liang Yan smiled and said, "It's good to live in the habit." ”
Lin Jingjing lowered her head and didn't take the initiative to say anything.
Liang Yan looked at her expression, "It's difficult for your father and mother to have a chance to enter the palace to see you, if you have anything to say, you can tell me what is on your mind." ”
"Xie Niangniang, Jing Niang...... Nothing, it's just that sometimes I miss A-Niang. Lin Jingjing said with a smile, "But accompanying the princess is also colorful all day long, and this miss only comes out by chance, it's nothing." ”
Liang Yan nodded, "Then you don't have anything to say to me?" ”
Lin Jingjing was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "Hui Niangniang, no." ”
Liang Yan looked at her.
She lowered her eyes to the rich intricate lines on the carpet beneath her feet.
The hall was very quiet for a while, and only the dusk wind outside the temple could be heard blowing through the treetops and the leaves rustling.
"Okay, if it's okay, you can go back, if Ning Xin'er has anything, remember to tell me in time. It is not only the child of the Lin family who is selected to enter the palace to accompany her, but she wants to better care for Ning Xin'er, she is young, you are a few years older than her, and she is more stable than her, she will inevitably have times when she is not sensible. Liang Yan said softly.
"The princess is very calm, polite and graceful." Lin Jingjing hurriedly said.
"You don't have to be nervous, she's good, and I'm naturally more at ease." Liang Yan smiled.
Lin Jingjing didn't say anything, and left Qingning Palace.
Huoxiang's face was full of puzzlement, "Since there is nothing to do, what is she always doing outside Qingning Palace?" ”
Liang Yan looked out of the door, the twilight that was gradually falling, and said lightly: "She is still loyal to Ning Xin'er, so it's good." ”
"Huh?" Huoxiang is a little unclear.
Liang Yan didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
Li Ningxin didn't know Lin Jingjing's hesitation at this time.
didn't know that she almost betrayed herself in front of her mother.
She is immersed in her premature love world at the moment, and she is happy for no reason.
When she sent something to the East Palace today, she didn't find Lin Jingjing, so she had to let the palace maid next to her run away.
The thing for Su Bai is a small plain sketch, in which a woman holds an empty plate and sits by the window, as if she is very reluctant to give up the things on the plate, but she wants but has no regretful expression.
The small painting was not big, and she folded it under the plate hidden in the food box, and did not let the palace maid know.
She didn't tell anyone except Lin Jingjing.
At dinner, seeing Lin Jingjing coming back from outside with a tired face, she asked very puzzled: "Jingniang, where have you been today, why can't I find you anywhere?" ”
Lin Jingjing lowered her head and said, "Brother Tuo brought a letter to A-Niang, and I can't see ......my brother after waiting for a long time."
She wasn't used to lying, and when she spoke, she stuttered a little.
Li Ningxin smiled: "Homesick? I want to write a letter to my family and tell me, I'll find someone to help you send it out! ”
"Thank you, princess!" Lin Jingjing blessed her body and didn't want to say more.
Li Ningxin smiled: "What a big deal! Don't run around tomorrow, I'm looking for you! ”
"Yes!" Lin Jingjing only felt that this was a word, and she was bitter in her mouth and stuffy in her heart.
Fortunately, the palace maid said that dinner was ready, so Li Ningxin turned around and went to eat without asking her more.
Lin Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and returned to her own ear room, but she couldn't help but think of the painting and Su Bai in the painting over and over again in her mind.
The Su Bai in the painting and the Su Bai in reality overlap repeatedly......
The things sent by the East Palace today are really related to Su Bai, right? Did he really take the princess's painting? Does he understand the meaning of the princess's painting?
Su Bai must understand that smart, right?
But he was a few years older than the princess, and he really didn't mind?
That's it...... Princess Anding is smart, can ride horses, can shoot hunting, is good at danqing, beautiful appearance, although she is still grown, but it can already be seen that her eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and she is a princess who is high...... There's no reason he doesn't like her, right?
Lin Jingjing and Yi were lying on the bed, turning over a little bored.
"Jing Niangzi, the princess has eaten, and we will be rewarded if you don't run out, can you come and eat some?" A small head poked into the doorway.
As soon as Lin Jingjing heard the voice, she knew that it was the palace maid who had a good relationship with her, and shook her head and said, "I won't eat it, you can eat it." ”
She rolled over and pretended to be sleepy and tired.
The palace maid didn't say much, and quietly helped her close the door.
Two days later, something came from the East Palace.
Everyone around the princess knew that the relationship between the princess and His Royal Highness the crown prince was very good, and there was nothing strange about this.
The princess seemed to be looking forward to the things sent by the East Palace, and every time she accepted and opened them in person.
It seems that the things in the East Palace are really rare.
The saint is the most spoiled Princess Anding, that is, what the prince does not have, Princess Anding must have it here. What is there in this East Palace that Princess Anding likes so much?
Others don't know, but Lin Jingjing knows best.
The princess is not looking forward to things, but to the heart of the person who gave them.
Whenever Li Ningxin receives something, or on the same day, or lives the next day, she will ask the palace people to give back food, or gadgets to the East Palace.
Because Lin Jingjing knew about this matter, she didn't want others to know, so she always sent Lin Jingjing forward.
But Lin Jingjing didn't know what was wrong, either that her feet hurt, or she was looking for a side reason to shirk it, saying that she didn't want to take this errand.
Once or twice, Li Ningxin didn't feel it.
But after many times, Li Ningxin noticed that something was wrong.
"Jing Niang, you go on a trip and send some of the Qujiang flakes that Ayaxin sent to the prince! There's also a little statue I've hidden under the tea cone, and he'll be able to find out, so you just have to give it to him! Li Ningxin pushed the basket with the tea tube in front of Lin Jingjing.
Lin Jingjing hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "Princess...... Jing Niang came to the monthly letter yesterday, and she is a little uncomfortable today......"
Li Ningxin looked at her and chuckled, "Are you uncomfortable?" But do you want to call the Imperial Doctor to take a look? ”
"No, don't ......," Lin Jingjing shook her head.
"If it's uncomfortable, don't bear it!" Li Ningxin said softly.
Lin Jingjing glanced at her cautiously, "Well, as long as you don't move, it's fine." ”
Li Ningxin smiled and didn't say much.
handed over the tea to others and sent it to the East Palace, and came to Lin Jingjing again.
"Now it's just the two of us, and there are no outsiders. Jing Niang, you know, I never treat you as an outsider, you are Ah Niang's cousin, but I think that you are more like my big sister, what is on my mind, even if I didn't tell Ah Niang, I didn't hide it from you. Li Ningxin said with a chuckle.
