Chapter 7 Not like a princess
The next day, Wu Ling was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, beside her was the fox catching scene that must be staged every day.
The sky is clear, and the sky is blue. Blue, is a shallow kind of blue, there is no white cloud, the eyes are full of blue, it looks so clear and pure, it causes Wu Ling's mind to be enlightened for no reason.
The sun, hanging high in the blue sky, shines on the earth, and everything stretches out, thanks to the sun's blessing.
Perhaps it is also because of this cloudless sky, the sun is pouring down, and today, the heat seems to make people breathless.
However, Wu Ling was already hot, but she didn't feel uncomfortable, but she just enjoyed the temperature almost the same as herself.
I remember my mother once said that on the day I was born, the weather was the same, the sky was cloudless, there was not a single wind, the scorching sun was in the sky, the grains on both sides of the road were also bent down by the scorching sun, and the grasshoppers were also jumping around in the fields.
It was in such a sweltering heat that her mother gave birth to her.
Mother also said that when she was born, it was as if something was about to burst her belly, and she felt as if there was a little sun in her belly, burning her soul.
The midwife who delivered the baby also praised her for being a white and tender child, and after she was born and cried, she quietly let people hold her, like a porcelain doll.
But the father said that when he saw her for the first time, he was so shocked that he almost threw the beautiful child out of his hand.
- Such a beautiful baby is definitely not my biological child, how can I give birth to such a cute child?
Recalling her father's teasing words, Wu Ling smiled silently and continued to immerse herself in the only tenderness she had in her childhood.
At that time, she sat in front of the window of her house in the same way, watching her father sweat like rain in the field, and her mother raised her hand to wipe her father's sweat with a gentle smile on her face.
It would be nice if time could stay in that moment forever.
She will never run away from the house again, and she will never disobey her parents again.
Well, nothing will happen after that.
Wu Ling smiled bitterly, after so many years, no matter when, as soon as she quieted down, she would involuntarily think of what had happened.
- Child, promise your mother, you want to live well!
Because of her mother's words, no matter how difficult it was, Wu Ling gritted her teeth and persevered.
Whether it is in the snow-covered mountains, starving in the winter, or in the scorching summer, relying on the mountains to compete with tigers and beasts for food.
She's been trying to stay alive.
Suddenly, a sound of the door opening interrupted Wu Ling's thoughts, and after the door opened, several subordinates walked into her courtyard.
The man at the head saluted and said, "Your Highness, please go to the main hall." ”
Wu Ling was stunned, this Shuo has never summoned herself so seriously, what is going on today?
"What can my eldest brother say for? Did you call me to go? Xi asked, still holding the fox in his hand and not relaxing, as if he had been scratched out of many red marks.
"Your Highness will know when you say it." After saying that, the servant hurriedly retreated, leaving only Wu Ling and Xi who looked at each other.
"That'...... Shall I accompany you to take a look? Xi let go of the fox and was ready to accompany Wu Ling on a trip, he also wanted to know what the eldest brother had sold.
"Okay." Wu Ling got up, thinking in her heart, just now that she saw those subordinates so serious, she didn't dare to breathe, and she didn't dare to answer her questions, I don't know if something happened?
After the two walked out of the courtyard, the little white fox in the courtyard raised his paws and scratched his head, as if he didn't quite understand what was going on, then shook his head, turned around and jumped onto the table, and began to nibble on the pastries on the table, eating with relish.
When Wu Ling and Xi arrived at the main hall, they saw a woman in goose yellow clothes kneeling in the hall, Shuo sitting on the main chair with a solemn face, and a silver eye with some cold color, as if she was angry.
Wu Ling had never seen Shuo have such an expression on his face, and he couldn't help frowning, and the woman kneeling in the hall was the same woman who slapped herself yesterday.
Xi saw that the gentle eldest brother was so serious, so he also closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak, and he didn't dare to gasp.
"Xi, you go back first, there's nothing wrong here." When Wu Ling saw this scene, he knew that Shuo had already known about yesterday's events, and there was a Taoist ugliness that should not be publicized, how to say that this was also Shuo's family matter, and it was better for Xi not to know.
"Okay." Xi pouted, I don't know why, it just so happened that he also felt that the eldest brother was terrible at the moment, so he obediently turned around and went back to find his fox.
After Xi left, Shuo slowly spoke, his voice was cold, like snow in winter, and he had no emotion.
"Jin Rong, yesterday, you slapped this woman?"
It turned out that her name was Jin Rong, Wu Ling had been here for so long, and she didn't know what her name was, but today I heard Shuo call her name for the first time.
"You...... How dare you complain to your lord! Jin Rong knelt on the ground, obviously startled after hearing Shuo's question, and immediately raised a hand to point at Wu Ling with a resentful face, and her eyes were full of tears.
Wu Ling shook her head indifferently, she didn't complain, she didn't say a word to Shangguan Yu, how could it be that she said it?
"Shut up." Shuo didn't look at her, and turned to Wu Ling: "But she hit you?" ”
Wu Ling bit her lip and was silent, she didn't want to say yes, she didn't lie, she could only keep silent.
Shuo saw this even more clearly, this Jin Rong is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and when things happen, she turns into the temperament of a wild horse, but Wu Ling is silent.
So in Shuo's opinion, her expression was no different from acquiescence.
"Master! You're in for a good look! She didn't dare to admit it, but she knew that there was no such thing at all! Jin Rong raised her head, as if she was taking advantage of it, and the jade beads on her head trembled slightly with her movements.
"A total of seven slaps, do you want this emperor to pay it back, or do you fan it yourself?" Shuo didn't want to entangle with her, several people in the house saw how she bullied Wu Ling, how Wu Ling forbeared, and the pictures and colors depicted by the people were the same, how could it be fake?
"It's you! Otherwise, how would you know about this! I even know how many slaps I made! When she heard Shuo's words, she got up angrily, tears fell from her eyes, and her pretty face was dyed with anger again, and she pointed at Wu Ling and scolded angrily.
"Presumptuous!" Shuo roared in a low voice: "Do you know that she is my imperial sister!" Be the seventh princess! ”
"Gong ...... Princess......?? Jin Rong was stunned, and her mouth seemed to be stuffed with a bun and she couldn't speak clearly.
Unbelievable, she was so bold as to hit the princess?
"Hmm." Wu Ling nodded, confirming this matter, to be correct, she is indeed the seventh princess, but she is nameless, positionless, and not biological, just a pawn raised by the queen mother under her hands.
"Gong ...... Princess...... Spare your life! Jin Rong trembled and knelt down, crying and apologizing.
I thought that Shuo was so alienated from him because he fell in love with this demonic woman who came from nowhere, but he didn't know that she was a princess!
Yes, yes! It was rumored that there was a quiet seventh princess in the palace, who had never been out of the palace, just because her red hair and red eyes were very weird! This comparison, she is really that princess! It's both red hair and red eyes, and she doesn't like to talk! She had the audacity to be jealous of the princess! And slapped her seven times! These seven slaps, but even the loss of her entire clan's head is not enough to pay it back!
"Nothing." Wu Ling stretched out her hand and helped her up, she really couldn't get used to such a big gift, and she would feel weird.
"None...... Affair? Jin Rong seemed to be a little frightened and stupid, her face turned pale, the princess said that there was nothing to do, what did she mean? But did she really decide to kill her entire clan? So I don't even accept an apology!
"Hmm." Wu Ling stroked the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "If you are not willing, you will not be able to touch me." ”
Shuo frowned at this scene, what does it mean to be unwilling? Is there anyone in this world who is willing to be beaten?
"Are you in good hands?" Wu Ling picked up her delicate palm and looked at it, smelling a faint fragrance of medicine, but it was still slightly red and swollen, and the swelling had not subsided after taking the medicine, which showed that she was really hard.
Jin Rong had a white face, and she didn't understand whether this princess was really born generous, or if she lacked roots.
Wu Ling smiled faintly: "Okay, don't lose your temper easily in the future, your husband once said that if you commit it again, you will be expelled from the house." ”
"Princess......" Jin Rong looked at Wu Ling's still indifferent face, and the picture of her expulsion from the mansion flashed in her mind, and suddenly her eyes rolled and she fainted.
Wu Ling was startled, hurriedly supported her body, put her on the ground smoothly and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, I'm scared." Shuo waved his hand, and a few people carried her back in amusement.
"My daughter's family can't help but be scared, you should be spoiled." Wu Ling rarely had the urge to train people, but what she said was the words of an old lady, and they had no strength.
"Yes, yes, yes." Shuo cooperated and said, "Then Princess Wuling really forgave her?" ”
He still doesn't believe that anyone is really so generous? Or rather...... Is there really such a princess who is so generous? After being slapped in the face, can you be indifferent? Forgiven like that?
"Nope." Wu Ling replied silently and found a safe place to sit down.
"Huh? What do you mean? Shuo also sat down on the flower bench beside her, and drew a question mark in his mind, since he didn't forgive, why didn't he punish her just now?
"I don't hold a grudge, so how can I forgive." Wu Ling came all the way to the thirst in her mouth, held up the teacup and took a sip, but wrinkled her eyebrows bitterly.
Unexpectedly, this tea is so bitter.
"You don't really look like a princess." Shuo sighed, and saw her frowning at the bitter tea, and thought it was very cute.
"Not really." Wu Ling tasted the cup of tea again, and people said that the tea was bitter, but because she was bitter, what she tasted was bitter?
Shuo was speechless by these words, but he didn't expect that the woman who could be adopted as a righteous daughter by the queen still thought that she was not a princess from the bottom of her heart, if it was other civilian women, even if she was not pampered and arrogant, she would become unattractive, right?
But how did he know that this princess of Wu Ling was doing the things of a princess.
Shuo also didn't know that Wu Ling's mission on this trip was to seduce the emperor.
