Chapter 40: You are more important than all treasures
Zhen Ying knows that she has made trouble and knows all the ways to make up for it, but fate seems to have played a ridiculous joke, no matter what she chooses, it will be a dead end.
She has been a human being in two lives, several ups and downs, and many experiences, but in the face of absolute power, she can only be as helpless as a real child.
She didn't even have time to pick up the pieces.
Outside the screen, two maidservants walked in quickly with lanterns, and they didn't see anything missing, and hurriedly asked, "The girl is not hurt, is she?" If you want to drink water and wake up at night, you just call us, so why bother to come down yourself? "I didn't even mention the precious porcelain vase that broke into a pair and could not be paired.
The maidservant girl named Tanxue said and quickly stepped forward to avoid a piece of broken porcelain, took a thin cloak on the screen and put it on Zhen Ying, and Tingshuang went to the door to open a crack lightly, and said to the rough girl on duty at night: "Go to the firewood room to get a broom, and then ask someone to go to the candle fire to ask for two candles, the young lady has already woken up." β
The Zhen family is stingy and refuses to burn more candles, Zhen Ying has long been accustomed to working in the dark, there are several sisters in the old grandmother's house who are on duty with filial piety, and there are maids in the first few rooms, only she is an orphan girl who has to take it seriously.
Not long after, King Wu actually came in person. At this time, the sky was faintly white, but the whole yard was still dark.
King Wu didn't bring anyone, he held a hanging bead glass gas dead wind lamp, a pair of soft-soled shoes were thickly put on his feet, and he didn't have time to wear socks.
The fire flowed in July, the clothes were given in September, although it was hot at the beginning of autumn, it was extremely cold before sunrise, Zhen Ying put down the bed tent with a cloak, and even a screen blocked the wind, and felt a little chilly, while King Wu wore his hair loose, and only a plain yarn single coat was on his body.
King Wu didn't open the veil tent, nor did he cross the screen, his eyes crossed the covered moon-white silk veil, glanced at the ground, and his tone was a little displeased: "It seems that I treat you too leniently on weekdays, and you are more delicate than the young lady?" β
A group of servants were so frightened that they held their breath and didn't dare to speak, only a small servant ran from outside with a cloak: "Don't be angry, even if you are angry, you have to put on your clothes first." β
King Wu took the cloak but didn't wear it, raised his hand and handed it to Tanxue: "Put it on your young lady, if there is such a thing again, don't be an errand in my Wu Wang's mansion." β
Zhen Ying noticed that King Wu added an accent to "Your Miss".
After King Wu finished reprimanding the maidservant, his tone softened, and he asked through a screen: "But you had a nightmare?" Is it homesickness? How are the servants serving? β
Zhen Ying was taken by his momentum at first, and couldn't move, let alone open the curtain, although he had the intention to distinguish for the snow, he couldn't move at all. After listening to his sincerity, every word was a sign of concern, and his heart was much more stable, he was blessed first, pointed to the bottle on the ground, then pointed to himself, and then pointed to the two maidservants, and waved his hand.
King Wu looked at her through a screen, and smiled while watching: "I'm afraid the girl hasn't woken up yet." As he spoke, he found a soft pillow and threw it on the Luohan Collapse to lean on: "Now that we're awake, we might as well talk for a while." β
The subordinates offered tooth powder, water, clean cloth and other things, and the two of them combed roughly.
Zhen Ying has never used tooth powder, but fortunately, Tanxue and Tingshuang are extremely considerate and careful, waiting for her to wash up. There were also seven or eight servant girls holding clean handkerchiefs, basins and other phenology, and there were seven or eight people standing in the bed, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, and there was no sound at all.
Outside the bed, there was a layer of shark yarn barrier and a layer of rice bead curtains, and the prince lit a candle and carefully rubbed a string of beeswax on his hand.
"Sugar gourd ~ big and sweet sugar gourd ~ freshly baked sugar gourd ~"
"Osmanthus oil, osmanthus oil, the girl doesn't have to worry about it~"
"Sour jujube cake! Osmanthus cake! Mung bean cake! Wet barley cake! β
The sky was white, and the people who begged for life got up early, shouting one after another, breaking the silence in the inn.
"In addition to me, in the palace is my mother's concubine, with my title, called Concubine Wu, and the current queen mother is the sister of the same mother, you will not be wrong to call the concubine."
Zhen Ying ate breakfast seriously and silently, and in the morning light, King Wu saw her reddened eyes.
He smiled and waved his hand to the little servant for a few words.
Although separated by a screen and silk veil, King Wu could almost think of the little girl's expression.
She grew up in the courtyard of the deep house since she was a child, and she must not have gone out much, probably because she had never heard the shouts of the prosperous area of Wuzhong.
Thinking of this, he turned sideways slightly, clubbed one arm on the arhat collapse, and wrapped the silk yarn tail with the other hand, and said casually: "As for me, I had a fiancΓ©e, but unfortunately I was killed before I could pass the door, and I have been too lazy to marry a concubine since then, so I don't have any children." You are here, and you are the first child in King Wu's mansion. β
"Huh?"
Zhen Ying's mouth is a sour jujube cake, which is a little dry and a little sour, and it is paired with Biluo spring tea with a faint bitter taste, which is a good taste.
She was now, with a snack in her mouth, like a little hamster, and she couldn't speak.
How can there be such a cute little girl? King Wu thought in his heart, and unconsciously wanted to tease her even more, and even the words he wanted to hide at the beginning unconsciously spoke.
"The heirs of the royal brother are quite abundant, my brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, this brother can't bear to be an empty brother under my knees, a hundred years of incense has no succession, a month ago must be the fifth prince of the concubine, give me the son, at the end of the year I will go to the Zongren Mansion to report."
While thinking about the girl's expression, the complex imperial mind technique was exquisitely embroidered, and suddenly turned into countless flesh and blood warmth: "If you see the five princes, just call the eldest brother." Although he is older than you, there is one who comes first and then comes, if he bullies you, I am not there, just go to the concubine to complain. β
Zhen Ying waved her hand, meaning no. She pointed to King Wu with one hand and the sky with the other, paused, pointed to herself with one hand, and pointed to the ground with the other.
She is different from the prince and the clouds.
Moreover, even in the countryside such as the Zhen family, the defense of men and women is extremely strict, and when there are foreign dependents, even the brother-in-law has to tell the housemother, and he can only see his sister if he brings his mother-in-law to avoid suspicion, not to mention the palace?
She thought about it for a moment and shrank back, meaning that if she really saw the five princes, she would avoid it herself.
