Chapter 38: Rumors

The new year is really different.

I'm also a small owner with an inn.

But Xiao Jiu retorted that I could have Yuelai Inn, and what kind of little boss did he call himself? You can be the richest man in a party if you take it out casually!

I was very happy to hear it.

Even if you leave the house after being happy, you still have income, and you don't have to live on the streets if you don't have monthly money, but because of the timidity of your hometown, you have never done a field investigation, and you are silly when you see the documents every day.

Therefore, the days pass briskly, and if you don't pay attention to it, the new year is already the old year, and everything is back on the track of life.

Ruyan still looks weak and sick, Xiao Wang, Xiao Qiao, Xiao Wu and the three sisters are still fighting among themselves, while chatting with their sisters and sisters, Zifeng's infatuation with Zhou Lingqing has risen to a higher level with age.

It's just that there is one more Shen Qingsi to "go to the next level" with her.

Yes, Shen Qingsi has become an "immortal" who can't be sent away, and he is almost in the palace. I said that I left the New Year, but then I lived on the fifteenth day of the first month, and then I simply went to Lichun, and after that, she completely lived out of the momentum of the main house.

In Xiao Jiu's words, it's almost riding on my neck and.

She deliberately learned nursing, and naturally intercepted the errand of caring for Zhou Lingqing's wounds, and she didn't know why, and on weekdays, she was even more arrogant, domineering, and unwilling to suffer.

In my opinion, the similarity with Zhou Lingqing's temperament is simply a half-brother. It's worrying just to look at.

Ruyan is the most worried-she was targeted by Shen Qingsi.

There are always times when I don't pay attention, and every time this happens, Shen Qingsi should find fault. Bird's nest is limited, charcoal is limited, and even the maid has been transferred away from several people. Ruyan is now in a broken state, so let her go with everything.

What does the Ling Wangfu have to do with you Shen Qingsi? I'm in charge of the house, and Zifeng is in charge, is it appropriate for you to be an outsider making waves in someone else's house?

Nature is inappropriate.

No one expected that. People are right away, and the name is justified.

On February 28, my brother's position in the army was overheard, of course, this has a lot to do with me going through the "back door" of Zhou Lingqing.

On the first day of his tenure, when he returned home from the army, he deliberately turned to King Ling's Mansion. In the hall, the two of us looked at each other with big eyes, talked about the east and the west, and finally got to the point.

Indeed, a breaking news.

"That's... That Shen Qing Siru... Still in the house? The elder brother held the tea in his hand, and his words were stumbling.

I nodded.

I saw him grit his teeth, stomp his feet, and said with an open look, "It is rumored in the military camp that she is going to marry the prince!" ”

Yes?

"Then does the prince know about this?" I was calm.

"It's... My brother didn't know if the prince knew about it, but when he saw Shen Qingsi's father in Chang'an City today, the news came out when her father's subordinates went to the military camp to drink with his brother who was born and died together in the past——"

I finally got a little surprised, as if when did I hear that Shen Congjun could only return to Beijing in April to report on his work, why was it more than a month earlier?

I was skeptical of my brother's words, but I had to admit that Zhou Lingqing had been really good to Shen Qingsi in recent days, and he had a long-term affection.

"Maybe it's a rumor? My brother is too obedient to the wind and rain, if there is such a thing, the prince has to tell me a thing or two. ”

The wretched wife also has the right to know.

I comforted my brother a few more times and sent him out.

But somehow, I couldn't calm down for a long time after that, and I couldn't even take a few bites of dinner.

Until Zhou Lingqing came back late at night, someone invited me into the study.

When I pushed the door in, he was leaning on the chaise longue and was stunned, and when he saw that it was me, he got up and straightened his clothes.

"I have a matter to consult with you," he said, sitting upright and solemn.

"What's the matter?" I asked, turning around and closing the door.

"If you want to add a new person to the house..."Zhou Lingqing said slowly, carefully observing my face.

"Newcomer?" I lifted my eyelids and looked ignorant, "What newcomer?" ”

"Forget it—you go and rest." He put his fingers to his forehead, his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was meditating on.

Is it so difficult?

"That's good." I flicked my sleeve and pushed the door open.

The whole process is just a stick of incense.

After that, I trotted all the way back to the side room with the darkness of the night, raised my hand and threw my coat onto the small chair, and rolled over to the bed, staring at the sorghum with stunned eyes, and suddenly lost my sleep.

I never knew I still had such a position.

Actually, what's there to be embarrassed about?

"I'm going to marry the official princess, you should give way!" Or "I've got a better 'Alliance', set you free!" Or simply and rudely said, "You go out of the mansion, King Ling's mansion doesn't need you anymore." ”

He just needs to say a casual word, and I can leave with my baggage.

But what is he struggling with?

What's there to be embarrassed about?

The indifferent and cold moonlight crept in through the window, and I stared at the Milky Way again. Suddenly, between the lightning and flint, my smart big head burst out with a terrible brain hole - Zhou Lingqing, I'm afraid I don't think I know too much, it's useless to keep it, and it's a bad thing to abandon it, right?

It must be so!

Now that I've got a lot of pharmaceutical recipes, I can give them to anyone who knows a little bit about pharmacology, and they'll light up a new skill tree - so I can almost be thrown away as a discard.

But Zhou Lingqing's "insider", as I said before, nine times out of ten, if I stand on the opposite side of him, won't he be wiped out seven or eight times?

I can imagine the headlines of the street newspapers back then.

"Hot report, hot report, the former Princess Ling has revealed the ugly face of Prince Ling!"

"Hot smell! Prince Ling wants to rebel, and the evidence of the former Princess Ling is conclusive! ”

"First-hand peach blossom secrets! Prince Ling's cholera palace, the former princess Ling, personally corrected! ”

“……”

People with a bit of brains wouldn't put this kind of person who knows the roots out and go freely, right?

Then he can't be hesitating... Take my life? Thinking about this, panic and despair came to my heart together—I'm afraid I'm not going to die young.

What does he want to say after the sentence "There is a new person to be added to the house"?

If you want to add a new person to the house, you will move a place for the new person?

There's going to be a new person in the house, and there's nothing to do with you in the future, so why don't you die?

To add a new person to the house, in order to avoid ruining the heart of the newcomer, but also to avoid further incidents, and for the sake of the king's peace of mind, why don't you give you a "Le Ming Pavilion", you go to live for a lifetime?

……

No way, no way! How can I be worthy of the "second generation of smoke"?

Thinking like this, I fell into a dream with deep fear, and there were no strange things in the dream, and when I woke up in the morning, I was sweating all over. Xiao Jiu came from outside and roared, leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed and kept caressing my shoulder, frowning, "The princess has a nightmare again?" It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up! Xiao Jiu has always been there! ”

I was panting and my chest was rising and falling with the panting.

"What...... What time is it? "My voice was more neutral than before, as if I had just experienced a life-and-death disaster.

"It's just a little time, the morning tea outside is not hot yet, if the master feels uncomfortable, rest for a while!" Xiao Jiu helped me to breathe, and my mouth was full of worry.

I looked at Xiao Jiu's anxious little adult, and I only felt that there was a husband like Zhou Lingqing, and it was far less secure than a servant like Xiao Jiu.

"Leave me alone, in a few moments, those three should come to say hello again, and I will wake up again......" I kneaded my temples vigorously, trying to get out of the strange dream as soon as possible.

"Princess...... The princess should continue to sleep, people may not come today-" Xiao Jiu played with his fingers and muttered in a resentful voice.

"That's even better! It's not bad to sit for a long time, I'm annoyed..."

Xiao Jiu suddenly got up and interrupted me, and his voice overshadowed me, "What is the princess happy about?" I'm afraid that the three of them will go to slap the female general Miss Shen Qingsi from today onwards! The princess is not hurrying up, be prepared for danger in times of peace! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Isn't that too fast? Didn't you say that Shen Congjun only returned to Chang'an City yesterday? What my brother only knew when he went to the army on an errand was reported back to King Ling's Mansion so quickly?

"How? This matter has been fermenting for half a month, the princess doesn't know? Xiao Jiu was so worried that his facial features were screwed together.

I motioned to her with my eyes: Isn't your mouth the only window I have to get outside information? Don't you say where did I know?

"Then you don't know what you're doing with a miserable face all day long!?" Xiao Jiu was so angry that he lost his strength, and tilted his head to ask.

"No, seeing that the weather is getting warmer, Ruyan Pavilion's body is getting worse and worse, and she is also my patient, can I still laugh like this?" Naturally, she searched all the ancient recipes and saved people's lives, not to mention that if she had a case, it would be one corpse and two lives.

"Your patient? Did the princess really practice medicine in the palace? Xiao Jiuyi's eyes narrowed into a slit, "You don't look at the sky outside?" Don't you know that Shen Qingsi asked her father to repair a book and sent it to the palace after the year, and the thing written in the letter is the marriage between our prince and her? ”

"I don't know, no one told me, how do you know, ah no, you know why you don't say it?" I'm anti-customer-oriented.

"The girl who serves Miss Shen Qingsi is considered to have climbed a high branch, and a little thing has to be passed on to everyone in the whole house, I only didn't talk much when the prince told you, seeing that you have a bitter face every day, I can't be so eyeless, right!?"

You're too eye-catching.

"So, the marriage was decided, and the house finally changed the direction of the wind?" I got to the point.

"The prince doesn't know what he's thinking, but I just see that Miss Qingsi's style in the mansion is getting higher and higher than you, and I heard that her father has also returned to Chang'an, so everyone naturally has a conclusion in their hearts, and presumably the marriage is not far away——"

That is, there is no final decision yet?
