Chapter 42: Crickets are so pitiful
"Mother, younger brothers and sisters, Cuiying, Mama Cao, go, I'll take you to the bath."
Xu Jingluo took the two children by the hand, gathered the family, and led them to the beach farther away, then took out the bucket, took out the basin, took out the towel soap and shampoo, and taught them how to use it.
It didn't take long for them to be washed from head to toe and changed into clean clothes.
Everyone just felt refreshed, and the whole person was refreshed.
I'm not curious where Xu Jingluo got so many novelties, what are the immortals?
When he returned to the station, the sun was setting in the west, and the red glow was all over the sky, Xu Jingluo felt that his hair was wet and a little uncomfortable, and when he saw that the wind was strong by the river, he walked over and sat down on the grass, twisting his wet hair with a towel.
"Xu Jingluo, is it really you?"
Not long after he sat down, a woman's voice came from behind him, this voice was slightly familiar, but Xu Jingluo couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Looking back in confusion, he saw a woman coming over with a lotus step.
She is dressed ordinarily, but there is a trace of nobility in her bones, and although her face is also branded with a big word 'prisoner', she still can't hide her good looks.
Seeing that Xu Jingluo didn't recognize her for a long time, the woman took the initiative to introduce.
"It's me, the former third princess of the Southern Zhou Kingdom, Zhu Lingsu." As he spoke, he came to Xu Jingluo's side and sat down, his eyes swept around Xu Jingluo's face, "I didn't expect to see you again." ”
Xu Jingluo also looked at her a few times, smiled and retracted his gaze.
She and Zhu Lingsu are not very familiar with each other, and they have seen her at the palace banquet.
And the reason why Zhu Lingsu recognized Xu Jingluo must be because Xu Jingluo was caught by the eldest princess Zhu Lingxiang in the pavilion of the imperial garden seven years ago.
Xu Jingluo flipped through the memory of the original owner, this Zhu Lingsu didn't seem to have done anything bad to the original owner, so he replied casually.
"As long as you don't die, everyone will meet again in Ssangyong City after all."
"Even if we meet again, we still ride in a carriage, you walk, we sleep in tents, you sleep in mud...... Xu Jingluo, no matter where you go, you will always be an ant that I can twist to death at any time! ”
Such words full of ridicule and contempt did not come from Zhu Lingsu's mouth, but from the mouth of a woman who was hated by the original owner.
The eldest princess of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Lingxiang.
Zhu Lingxiang raised his chin slightly, and appeared in front of Xu Jingluo with a proud expression.
Wearing a purple dress and light makeup, I have to say that the Emperor of Northern Liang was merciful and did not suffer at all for this group of dead royal families.
She was also accompanied by several other former princesses and county lords, although her face was branded with the word 'prisoner' and she became a slave to the country, but her arrogance did not change at all.
yes, it's only been a few days since the country died? How easy is it to withdraw from such a noble status?
At this moment, they all looked at Xu Jingluo and pulled the corners of their mouths disdainfully.
Xu Jingluo wiped his wet hair with a towel unhurriedly, and didn't bother to take care of them at all.
In my memory, the grievances between her and Zhu Lingxiang all arose because of a man, Gu Changgong, the second prince of the Western Wei State who was a proton in the Southern Zhou Kingdom.
Zhu Lingxiang was infatuated with Gu Changgong and went crazy, just because at a palace banquet, Xu Jingluo got Gu Changgong's casual praise when he played the piano, which attracted Zhu Lingxiang's crazy jealousy.
But in fact, the original owner didn't even know what Gu Changgong looked like, there was a difference between men and women, even if he participated in the same palace banquet, he had never seen it, and he never dreamed that he would get into trouble inexplicably.
Drugged people in the palace, Xu Jingting may not have the guts, Zhu Lingxiang is the mastermind behind it.
Seeing that Xu Jingluo turned a blind eye to her, Zhu Lingxiang couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"What? How many years have you not seen you mute? ”
Xu Jingluo knew that this was an opponent that he had to face, so he looked directly at the past with cold eyes, and his eyes fell on the word 'prisoner' on Zhu Lingxiang's face.
"I'm not deaf or dumb, but I've just become a slave to the country. You all seem to be the same as me! ”
These words sound plain and ordinary, but they pierce these people's hearts like knives.
What about the previous status, no matter how noble it was? Now, everyone has become a slave to the country, and groveling in front of the people of Beiliang is indeed no different.
Several people hooked their heads, speechless.
Zhu Lingxiang's face couldn't help but look ugly, and he soon sneered fiercely.
"So what? Again, in this princess...... In the eyes of this girl, you are still like an ant, ready to wrench you to death! ”
"Really?" Xu Jingluo combed his waist-length black hair, and replied indifferently, "I want to see what you are capable of saying such arrogant things!" ”
Zhu Lingxiang was choked by these words, but he didn't expect that after a few years, that cowardly and humble woman had changed so much, and she dared to talk back to her?
Angrily clutching the handkerchief in his hand, Zhu Lingxiang gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Jingluo.
"Just because we used to be royal, our noble royal bloodline still exists, otherwise, how could the Emperor of Northern Liang treat them differently?"
"In the future, when we come to Double Dragon City, we are still the upper echelons, and you will always be inferior to us, and you are only worthy of being ants under our feet!"
When Xu Jingluo heard this, he only felt very ridiculous.
Presumably, this group of high-ranking nobles still thinks that Shuanglong City is a good place? I'm still dreaming of calling slaves and servants to the upper echelons!
However, Xu Jingluo is too lazy to wear them, so let them live a little longer with this dream.
Xu Jingluo said lazily, "Is it an ant?" It's really exciting. ”
"Then don't die halfway, that won't be fun."
"Don't worry, I won't die if you die."
"Heh~~ sharp teeth, I will wait for you in Double Dragon City."
After Zhu Lingxiang finished speaking, he led a group of people to leave, Zhu Lingsu glanced at Xu Jingluo deeply, and followed behind.
After they left, Xu Jingling ran over with a worried face, grabbed Xu Jingluo's arm, and sat down next to her.
"Fourth sister, what did they say to you? Did I bully you? ”
"Bullying me? They have all become prisoners of the Northern Liang Kingdom, and it is not certain who bullies whom. ”
"Well, the fourth sister doesn't have to be afraid of them, you have us and the people in the village! We're not that easy to bully either. ”
Xu Jingluo nodded with a smile, and asked Xu Jingling silently: "She wanted the second prince of the Western Wei Kingdom to be her concubine so much, and then she succeeded?" ”
The original owner has never returned to Beijing since he was driven to Zhuangshang, and he doesn't know anything about these things, and he also doesn't know that the man who treated her lightly in the cornfield that night was Gu Changgong.
"Nope." Xu Jingling shook his head, blinked Yingying's big eyes and said mysteriously, "There are rumors in the capital that the second prince of Western Wei has been injured, so he will refuse the eldest princess." Zhu Lingxiang couldn't love it, and he became crazy, but whenever he saw a man who looked like the second prince, he would be caught in the princess's mansion as a face. ”
Xu Jingluo propped his chin, pulled the corners of his mouth, and didn't say anything, seeing Runtian and Yi Bao with their hair scattered, running around with the children, waving at them.
