Chapter 16: Preparing for the Journey
The general was still uneasy and said: "Then you must keep a low profile, don't come out, my uncle has to protect you even if he fights for his life this time." ”
Ling Zhiqiao comforted Xiao Qian for a while, let him relax, and sent him back to the room to rest, and then went to the attic dream garden where he lived.
There was still a courtyard gate to reach the Dream Garden, but I saw Xiao Qinxue's maid Ling'er blocking the middle of the road.
Ling Zhiqiao saw that she was the only one, and she also put away her usual appearance, and instantly changed back to the tone of her previous life: "As the saying goes, a good dog doesn't get in the way, it seems that your dog is really not very good, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, hurry away and let it go." ”
"Otherwise, I don't have a bad temper, and I can't hold back my anger for a while, and I don't know what I can do."
Seeing Ling Zhiqiao talking like this, the maid Ling'er felt a little unaware of her, and she was inexplicably scared, on weekdays, this new young lady in the mansion had a smile on her face, but now her face suddenly became frosty, which made people shudder.
She strengthened her courage and said, "Miss asked me to tell you, give up thinking as soon as possible, otherwise... Otherwise..."Ling'er saw Ling Zhiqiao getting closer and closer, and she was so frightened that she stepped back, otherwise she didn't say anything later, her heel slipped and she fell on the muddy ground next to the stone road.
Ling Zhiqiao walked past where she had just stood, and suddenly turned around elegantly, looking at the maid Ling'er who was sitting on the ground, and then changed to Ling Zhiqiao with a smile on weekdays.
"Otherwise what?"
Ling'er was completely frightened by her, and she didn't dare to say the following words.
Ling Zhiqiao put her face up, still smiling: "Go back and tell your young lady, don't mess with me, so that we can be at peace!" Otherwise..... Who doesn't know yet? ”
Under the reflection of the moonlight, Ling Zhiqiao's face was bloodless, and with a deliberately smiling face, the seven souls of the maid Ling'er had already come out of the body with three souls.
Ling Zhiqiao saw that she was almost frightened, and got up and waved her hand: "What a dream!" ”
The maid Ling'er didn't dare to get up until she couldn't see Ling Zhiqiao's shadow, and said tremblingly in the direction of Dream Garden: "Otherwise, otherwise I'll let you go!" Coincidentally, there was a wild cat's estrus cry out of nowhere, and she was scared, crying and running to Xiao Qinxue's yard.
Xiao Qinxue waited left and right and Ling'er did not come back. This dead soul, let her pass a word, where is the wild? was in a hurry, and Ling'er came back crying in the mud.
"What the hell are you crying about?" Xiao Qinxue said a little angrily.
"Miss, it would be nice if you saw a ghost, then Ling Zhiqiao is even more terrifying than a ghost."
"Don't cry, can you tell her what I told you?" Ling'er didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only pick and choose.
"I told her, she said, let the young lady mess with her less, so that they can be at peace, otherwise who will not know!"
Xiao Qinxue was angry after hearing this, and when she picked up the magnolia golden hairpin in front of the dressing mirror, she wanted to fall to the ground, but Ling'er hurriedly stopped: "Miss, don't fall!" This is what you have to wear when you enter the palace. ”
"Sooner or later, I'm going to let her get out!" Xiao Qinxue put the magnolia golden hairpin back on the table.
Seeing that the young lady was angry, Ling'er didn't dare to cry anymore, she wiped away her tears, and checked all the clothes that Xiao Qinxue needed to enter the palace.
I've got to figure out a way to keep her from participating! Xiao Qinxue didn't sleep well all night, and she didn't come up with a good way to toss and turn.
On the same night, Ling Zhiqiao and Mama Qin in the Dream Garden of the General's Mansion were laughing and laughing.
"Mama, you don't know, I'm so scared of that Ling'er that I'm about to pee my pants, and I run faster than a monkey!"
"Ha, ha!"
"Ha, ha!"
Ling Zhiqiao's stomach hurt while laughing while telling Mama Qin, the master and servant were about to laugh out of tears, Mama Qin took Ling Zhiqiao to the bed while laughing, and pointed to the bed: "Miss, look? ”
Ling Zhiqiao looked over, she had never seen such a beautiful dress.
To be more precise, Ling Zhiqiao didn't feel that she was a woman in her previous life, and any perfume, lipstick, long skirt, and short skirt were all insulated from her.
"Miss, try it!"
Ling Zhiqiao was still embarrassed: "Mama Qin, then I'll try!" ”
Looking at her clumsy appearance, I don't know where to start? Mama Qin smiled and shook her head, and stepped forward to help Ling Zhiqiao.
"Miss, how can you say hello, you don't look like a girl at all, I will teach you some female celebrities every day in the future, if you want to find a good husband, you have to have the ability to do it."
"Mama, I've only been by your side for a few days, and you're annoyed! I'm not married, I haven't been around you enough. ”
"Huh!" Mama Qin slapped Ling Zhiqiao's ass lovingly while laughing: "It's sweet!" ”
"Mama, is this still me?" Ling Zhiqiao stood in front of the dressing mirror, and she no longer knew herself in the mirror.
"Miss, do you think the old slave's craftsmanship is okay?" Mama Qin is very satisfied with her work.
"The old slave in this dress has put a lot of effort into it, and it will definitely not be worse than Miss Xiao Er's, coupled with the young lady's appearance, it is guaranteed to amaze the four."
"But, Mama, according to what you say, what if I am elected as the crown princess?"
"Miss, didn't you enter the palace just to select the crown princess?"
"Mama, you bring me the rest of the clothes to try, which one I wear is the ugliest, which one I wear?"
"What?" Mama Qin was confused, so she took the remaining two sets of clothes, because of the tight time, she made a total of three sets.
Ling Zhiqiao also tried the other two sets, and this trial of clothes was considered hard work for her, and she was quite tired, so she didn't pick it out when she looked left and right.
"Mama, why are your craftsmanship so good, which suit looks good on it! With your stitches and colors, it's better for us to open a garment shop to ensure that the business is booming. ”
"Miss actually laughed at the old slave, and the old slave had to take care of the young lady for the rest of his life." Looking at Mama who was sorting out her clothes for herself, Ling Zhiqiao hugged her.
"Mama, you're so nice!"
Mama Qin was a little touched by her intimate behavior, thinking of Ling Zhiqiao's mother, she sighed: "It's a pity that your mother left early, I can't see you so beautiful." ”
Seeing that Mama Qin was sad, Ling Zhiqiao hurriedly changed the topic: "Mama, since you are all equal, let's choose the first set!" ”
"Okay, good, Miss will wear whichever outfit she chooses!"
Mama Qin packed up her clothes, pulled her to the table again, pointed to a gold-lacquered double-layer peony box on the table and said, "Miss, and the ones in here are all left by your mother." ”
Ling Zhiqiao heard that it was left by Xiao Mengzhi, so she opened it with interest.
"The top layer of this box is decorated on the head and face, with a total of twenty-eight hairpins and thirty pairs of earrings. There are eight pairs of bracelets below, five pendants, and a total of thirty small objects remaining, miss, this is the list, you can see. ”
"When your mother didn't give birth to you, she said that if it's a girl, it's all for the child, and if it's a boy, it's for the daughter-in-law who marries."
"Mama, such good things were not searched by that courtyard."
"Hey, after your mother disappeared after entering the palace, someone from the palace immediately sealed the courtyard, and she was not allowed to enter or leave, and the Lu family, who entered the palace at that time, was also sealed outside."
"Miss Xiao Er was still young at that time, and the old slave was able to put away all these valuable things, and thanks to the general, he didn't betray me, so he left me to clean up in the dream garden and teach the newcomers some rules."
Later, the people in the palace left, and the Lu family also returned. But never mention the fact that she and your mother entered the palace that day. The strange thing is that the old man doesn't ask much. It's just black and white, and the old slave doesn't dare to inquire, so he can only wait. ”
"Mama, it's really hard for you, by the way, Mama, do these two princes still have adult siblings?"
"Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the remaining princes are not yet adults."
"I mean a mother's kind!" Ling Zhiqiao added.
Mama Qin replied to her very quickly and affirmatively: "No." ”
"Really!" Ling Zhiqiao didn't believe it.
"This can still be fake, the birth of a boy in the palace is to tell the world, not only the old slave knows, but the people of Kyoto City know!"
"Who is King Yu?" Ling Zhiqiao suddenly asked,
"This old slave has never heard of it, I think His Majesty the Emperor has made his own brother or the son of a favored concubine! Anyway, people of low status like us don't care who is blocked or not! To be able to eat a full stomach for a day, and to do your job well is to burn high incense. ”
Twilight Yunhan, you dead scumbag, what are you pretending to be King Yu with me! Ling Zhiqiao secretly thought about how to clean up this second prince before he could relieve his hatred.
"Miss, who do you know again?" Mama Qin was inexplicably asked by her.
"No one? Mama, you can choose among these jewelry for me! I'm dazzled, but I just have one request, the less the better, I feel heavy with this bun you combed for me, and I can't stand it with these things. ”
"Other royal ladies and ladies are eager to wear them all, Miss, you are good, I really convinced you." Mama Qin shook her head helplessly and chose in the gold lacquer peony box.
"That's it!" Mama Qin held a delicate and unique hosta and put it in Ling Zhiqiao's hand.
"This is your mother's favorite magnolia jade hairpin, and it is a special match for Miss, do you think it is feasible?"
"Mama says yes, then it will do." Ling Zhiqiao carefully looked at the hosta in her hand, and the texture of the plant could be seen on the petals carved from the warm white jade, and the jade leaves on the hairpin were as realistic as if they were wet with dew.
Ling Zhiqiao lifted the hosta, and the white magnolia flower was covered with a layer of light lotus pink under the candlelight, this handiwork was really amazing, and it was too realistic! She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Mama, help me bring these small medicine bags with me when I enter the palace, maybe I will be able to use them."
Mama Qin promised to wrap the medicine bag and put the clothes and jewelry needed to enter the palace together, everything was done, Mama Qin said to her: "Miss, you have to watch out for the second miss recently, knowing that you are also entering the palace, you don't need to think about it to know that this mother and daughter are thinking of a way to deal with you." ”
