As soon as Rong Qianhan stepped into the front hall with A-Yao, Li Lin came to meet him.

"Lord Wang, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday."

Rong Qianhan's face was calm, and his body unconsciously moved a few steps away from her.

Li Lin smiled awkwardly at him, "Brother Yun told me everything that happened yesterday, I drank too much yesterday, I didn't mean to, don't be surprised!" ”

Rong Qianhan's face was expressionless, and he said, "It's better for the princess to drink less wine in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, the prince is right."

When Li Lin spoke, her eyes always fell inadvertently on Ah Yao behind him.

Sensing her gaze, Ah Yao smiled and asked, "The princess has been looking at me, is there something wrong?" ”

She walked up to Ah Yao with an apologetic face, "I said something bad after I got drunk yesterday, you must not take it to heart." ”

Ah Yao looked at her and began to mumble in her heart.

Her attitude towards herself has changed too quickly, what does she want to do?

"The princess is serious."

"If you don't mind, then I'll be at ease."

After speaking, Li Lin turned around and took a delicate small box from the handmaid behind her.

"This is a gift I brought to you."

Gift!?

What kind of medicine is she selling in the drum?

Ah Yao excused herself: "It's just a trivial matter, the princess doesn't have to be like this." ”

Li Lin pushed the small box in front of her and said solemnly: "If you refuse to accept my gift, you will not forgive me." ”

"This ......"

"Since it's a piece of kindness from the princess, then you can accept it!" Rong Qianhan interjected.

Ah Yao smiled, "Then thank you princess." ”

"Open it up and see if you like it."

Ah Yao opened the small box in front of Li Lin and Rong Qianhan.

There is a delicate jade hosta lying inside, the hairpin head is a plum blossom, except for the plum blossom of the hairpin, the rest of the parts are exactly the same as her lotus hairpin.

She stared at the plum hairpin for a moment.

"Do you like it?" Li Lin asked.

Rong Qianhan also saw that this plum blossom hairpin was similar to her lotus hairpin, and turned his head to look at Ayao without saying a word.

She raised her eyes to look at Li Lin, "This is ......"

"This is a jadeite plum hairpin made of jadeite unique to us in southern Xinjiang, isn't it beautiful? In our southern Xinjiang, only people with noble status can be worthy of such hairpins. ”

"This is too precious, the princess should take it back!"

"I said I gave it to you, where is the reason to take it back?"

Li Lin resolutely refused to take it back.

Ah Yao took the jade hosta and said with a smile: "This plum blossom hairpin is really beautiful." ”

"If you like it."

"Thank you, princess."

Li Lin approached her a little, "There is a saying among our southern Xinjiang folk that two people who give gifts to each other are good friends, I gave you a plum hairpin, you can also give me a gift!" ”

"I don't have anything of value to give to the princess."

"I don't want anything valuable, I want a heart, a testimony that we have become good friends."

"That ......"

Ah Yao was thinking, what could she send to Li Lin?

Seeing this, Li Lin proposed: "Why don't I go to your room with you to choose!" ”

Ah Yao looked at Rong Qianhan with some embarrassment.

She was a little overwhelmed, and suddenly became enthusiastic Li Lin.

Rong Qianhan didn't seem to object to her and Li Lin becoming friends, and persuaded her: "Since the princess has this intention, then you can take the princess there!" ”

"That'...... All right! ”

A-Yao took Li Lin to her room and looked at Li Lin with an embarrassed expression.

"Sorry! My room was shabby, which made the princess smile. ”

"Where do you say, we are all friends, how can I laugh at you?"

With that, Li Lin began to wander around her room, as if she was really looking for some kind of gift.

A-Yao's eyes kept following Li Lin, and she was very puzzled about what she wanted to do when she came to the room?

She waited for a long time, but Li Lin never said anything, and was really seriously choosing a gift for herself.

It's just that Li Lin picked a little too carefully, as if she was deliberately looking for something.

She approached Li Lin and asked, "Did the princess pick it?" ”

"Not yet."

"I don't have anything here that a princess can look at, why don't I take you to the street to pick and choose?"

Li Lin hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't bother, I see that there are a lot of things in your room, I'll take a look." ”

"Okay."

Li Lin followed behind Li Lin, and saw Li Lin look at all the corners of her room, and finally fixed her eyes on her small wardrobe.

She stepped forward and said, "This is my wardrobe, it is full of some clothes I have worn, the princess should not ......"

"It's okay, I'll just see what you like, and I'll buy you beautiful clothes next time."

As soon as the words fell, Li Lin opened the wardrobe.

A-Yao's clothes are very decent, and she is reluctant to wear the good clothes that Rong Qianhan rewarded, and she doesn't want to be too ostentatious in the house.

Li Lin flipped through her clothes and suddenly found a small cubicle in the closet.

"What is this?" Li Lin tapped on the cubicle.

"It's a little dark compartment, a little useless thing."

The portrait she painted for her mother was hidden in this cubicle.

Li Lin came to Chong Niang's portrait?

Could it be that Li Lin saw the portrait of her mother in Li Yun's room that day?

In any case, she couldn't let Li Lin see the portrait of her mother, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Lin's eyes flashed with a sparkling light, and she was full of curiosity about her small cubicle.

"Can I open it and take a look?"

"No, you can't."

She bluntly refused.

Li Lin pursed her lips, pulled her arm, and said, "I'm just going to see, definitely not to rob your baby, okay?" ”

"Not good."

After speaking, she closed the door of the wardrobe and returned the plum blossom hairpin that Li Lin gave her.

"The princess came to the Regent's Mansion today, presumably not to give me a gift! What exactly does the princess want? Unwilling to go around in circles with Li Lin, she directly debunked Li Lin.

She said so, and Li Lin didn't need to hide it.

"That's right, I'm not here to give a gift, hand over the painting you took with you last time!" Li Lin held out her hand.

She looked at Li Lin and asked, "The young master's study entered the thief, did you let you do it?" ”

"That's right!"

"Your southern Xinjiang is a vassal state of Dongli, and you have sent someone to infiltrate the mansion of the regent of Dongli, so you are not afraid that I will tell the regent?"

"You won't!"

A-Yao frowned, "The princess is so confident. ”

Li Lin clasped her hands to her chest, "Do you think I will give you a plum hairpin for no reason?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"You have a lotus hairpin in your hand, right?"

How would Li Lin know!?

She didn't say a word and looked at Li Lin seriously.

"Actually, I have seen it a long time ago, the portrait you took away from Brother Yun's room that day, I just want to determine who the person on the portrait is."

"Why do you want to determine who the person in the portrait is?" Yao asked.

"You show me the portrait so I can tell you."

At the moment, Li Lin is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it is not clear what her purpose is.

A-Yao didn't dare to show her the portrait rashly.

"I have no ill intentions, and I may be able to help you." Li Lin said with a smile.

"Why do you think you can help me?"

"After looking at the portrait, I told you everything I knew."

Ah Yao fell silent again, looking hesitant.

"Don't hesitate, if you delay any longer, the regent will come."

She thought about it again and again and decided to take out the portrait.

She opened the cubicle of the wardrobe, took out the portrait of her mother, and opened it in front of Li Lin.

Li Lin opened her eyes and looked directly at the person in the portrait.

"She's Yun Niang!"

"You...... Recognize her? ”

Li Lin turned her head to look at her, "Who are you?" ”

"She is ......" She was still a little wary of Li Lin, and immediately changed her words: "She was a slave in the Prime Minister's Mansion with me before, and she took a lot of care of me. ”

"She actually came to Dongli!"

"She's from southern Xinjiang?" Ah Yao asked tentatively.

"Yun Niang is the maidservant of Soho, a female doctor in southern Xinjiang, after Soho died in childbirth, she was going to give Soho a funeral, but she never thought that she would avoid the funeral and ran to Dongli."

After speaking, Li Lin continued to ask: "What family does she have?" ”

"Nope."

Li Lin's face suddenly changed, and she whispered, "How could it not be?" ”

"She took her family from southern Xinjiang?"

"I'm not sure, just ask."

Her instincts told her that Li Lin was hiding as much as she did.

After thinking about it, she asked again: "What family does Yun Niang have in southern Xinjiang?" ”

Li Lin shook her head, "She is Soho's maidservant, she has never been married, where did she come from." ”

"What did you say?"

Li Lin looked at Ah Yao, who suddenly became emotional, suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"You said Yun Niang didn't have a marriage match?" She asked repeatedly.

"That's right!"

My mother has never been married, so where did I come from?

Could it be that my mother was bullied, so she secretly fled to Dongli?

Or maybe you're not a mother's child?

The answer is only known to my mother!

She wants to go to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible to find her mother and ask these things clearly.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, and the whole person was in a stunned state, Li Lin raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"What are you thinking?"

She set her eyes on Li Lin and asked, "What enemies does Yun Niang have in southern Xinjiang?" Does anyone want to find her? ”

"What are these doings, you ask? Where is Yun Niang now? Take me to her. ”

"I don't know where she is."

Li Lin looked anxious, "How could you not know?" Isn't she the maidservant of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't it in the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Yao shook her head.

"And where did she go?"

"Why do you want to see her so much?" Yao asked.

"I ......"

Li Lin hesitated, and looked at her again.

"She's Soho's handmaiden, so she shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? Why do you want to meet her? ”

Li Lin opened her eyes with a weak heart, "I saw her when I was very young, and I know that she is still alive, can't I want to meet her?" ”

Ah Yao saw that she wasn't telling the truth.

What exactly is she hiding?

Just as the two were suspicious of each other, there was a knock at the door, "Are you all okay?" The king is coming in. ”

The words fell, and Rong Qianhan pushed the door in.

The two came back to their senses at the same time and stood side by side, blocking the portrait behind them.

Rong Qianhan looked at the two people standing together suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
