Thinking like this, Ping'er no longer resisted Green as before, but she didn't overly flatter him either. She just said in a low voice: "Then I'll thank Lord Green."
Seeing that Ping'er never withdrew her hand, Green knew that his strategy worked. Ping'er was gradually moved by him, and he felt a little happy. He squeezed her silky hand again and said, "If nothing happens to you,
Then walk with me. Speaking of which, since you came to Jungar, I have not fulfilled my duty as a landlord and walked around with you."
Ping'er's heart trembled and she said: "Madam is still waiting for the slave, so let's wait until next time."
Ping'er's words made Green a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. Anyway, from his point of view, Ping'er, a little girl, has already become his possession, and it is only a matter of time when he will enjoy it. "Okay then, yes
Okay, how is your wife doing now?"
"Doctor Dong said that Madam, these two months are very critical. If she can survive it, the child can be born safely. Otherwise..." Ping'er did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear.
Thinking of Ling Ruo, Green's heart felt very itchy, but the last time he got drunk and made a mistake, he killed the princess of the Qing Dynasty, which made Galdan furious and almost beat him to death; so no matter how worried he is,
It's itchy, and I don't dare to cause trouble like this.
Until now, Greene doesn't know that the reason why he broke into Hanyan's felt tent and did something ridiculous was not an accident, but a trap carefully laid by someone.
"Okay, you go back first. I'll come find you another day when I have free time." Green said this, gently stroking Ping'er's delicate and smooth cheeks with his fingers.
The warmth from her fingertips and the unique scent of a man made Ping'er, who had never experienced anything between a man and a woman, feel a tremble in her heart. Her whole body felt a little weak. After saying something in a hurry, she seemed to be running away. Behind her were
Green's chuckle.
When she returned outside the felt tent, her cheeks were still a little hot, so she patted her face hard to calm herself down a little before picking up the curtain and walking in.
Ling Ruo was talking to Jin Niang. When he saw her coming in, he said, "Have they all been returned to the queen?"
"Yes." Ping'er stood there in fear, fearing that Ling Ruo would ask her why she had gone to so much time. Fortunately, Ling Ruo did not ask. At the same time, an attendant came in with dinner. Today's dinner was particularly rich, except for the usual
In addition to a few side dishes, there is also a bowl of freshly fried asparagus and steamed sea bass.
These two dishes are very common in the Central Plains, even ordinary people can afford them, but they are rare in Jungar. At least this is the first time Ling Ruo has seen it in all these days. The lake in Jungar
Although there are fish in it, the meat is very rough and cannot be compared with this delicious sea bass.
Before Ling Ruo spoke, Jin Niang said in surprise: "Hey, why are you so rich today?"
The cook said: "You forgot, King Khan just took people to the border today, and they came back with a lot of good things, but there are not many seabass. King Khan ordered them to be frozen.
Leave it all to Madam, and if Madam really doesn’t like it, give it to the Green Concubine and the others.”
"Isn't King Khan injured? Why are you still giving these orders?" Jin Niang's words made Xian Niang sigh: "Isn't it? At that time, Dr. Dong was treating King Khan's injuries, but King Khan called me to ask someone to
Give me all the fresh seasonal vegetables and seabass, and tell me to give them to Madam to enjoy." At this point, she said to Ling Ruo: "King Khan is really kind to Madam, and he will remember Madam even when he is injured.
.”
Ling Ruo didn't say anything until the cook was about to leave, when Fang asked, "Is King Khan's injury serious?"
"It's not very serious, but King Khan was injured by a musket. It took Doctor Dong a lot of effort to remove the musket bullet from King Khan's arm. Doctor Dong said that King Khan would have to rest for a while before his arm could fully recover."
Ling Ruo knew what a musket was. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a special firearms battalion, and the soldiers in it were equipped with the most sophisticated muskets and cannons. No matter who was shot by a musket, they were either dead or injured, so this
Although the Firearms Battalion was small in number, it was one of the most powerful armies in the Qing Dynasty.
It's just that this time Galdan only went to plunder supplies, so how could he be injured by a firearm? The cook couldn't answer Ling Ruo's question.
After the cook left, Ping'er filled the rice and handed it to Ling Ruo: "Madam, use it quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
Ling Ruo nodded and put aside her doubts for the time being. Just when she was about to take the bowl, she suddenly saw the bracelet on Ping'er's wrist. She was used to seeing treasures in the palace and recognized it at a glance as a tourmaline bracelet, worth nearly
Qianliang, Ping'er is just a maid, how could she have such a precious bracelet? Could it be...
Ling Ruo calmly took the bowl and said casually, "Ping'er, the bracelet on your wrist is very beautiful. Where did it come from?"
When she said this, Ping'er remembered that she didn't hide the bracelet in her sleeves, but just put it on her wrist. She quickly took back her hand and said casually: "Yes...it was given by someone I know. It's not worth anything."
, I’m just wearing it for fun.”
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and followed her words: "Oh? Can you tell me who it is?"
"He is just as much a servant as a servant. Madam, you don't know him." As soon as Ping'er finished speaking, Ling Ruo put down the bowl and said calmly: "When did tourmaline become so worthless that even a servant can afford it?"
?Ping'er, tell me honestly, is this bracelet a gift from Yingge?"
Ping'er's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly denied: "No... no, how could Lord Yingge give this slave something for no reason? Madam, you are wrong. This is not a tourmaline, it is just... a bead for fun.
, really worthless.”
Ling Ruo said calmly: "Tourmaline is colorful in color, like a rainbow, crystal clear and flawless. Let's see if the string you are wearing on your hand fully matches the special characteristics of tourmaline."
Ling Ruo's words made Ping'er speechless. Jin Niang said from the side: "Ping'er, please tell the master honestly whether this is a tourmaline bracelet and whether it was given by Master Green."
Ping'er hesitated for a long time, and finally said hesitantly: "Yes, I just met Master Green, and he gave it to me. I have already declined it, but he insisted on giving it, so I had no choice but to accept it."
Jin Niang asked in surprise: "Why is Mr. Green so kind to you? First he gave you a jade pendant, and now he gives you such a precious bracelet?"
"To be courteous for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief." After Leng Ran uttered this sentence, Ling Ruo said sincerely: "Ping'er, you should know very well that Green is not a good person. He must have a purpose when he gives you something. As for the purpose,
What, even if I don’t say it, you should know it in your heart.”
