Yuan Qingling looked at him, "What do you mean by cleaning up?"
Yu Wenhao told everything about his visit to Prince Ji's Mansion that day, including scolding the nanny next to Princess Ji, but he concealed the last words Princess Ji said to him. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he warned
He said: "If Princess Ji or anyone else tells you anything to sow discord between us, don't believe it."
Yuan Qing laughed and said: "I'm not a fool. Don't I know how to distinguish between right and wrong?"
Yu Wenhao was a little worried after all.
He and Yuan Qing Ling got close after she treated the Supreme Emperor. Could she have thought in her heart that he actually had ulterior motives?
Because of this worry, Yu Wenhao's mood suddenly became depressed.
He wanted to hear Yuan Qingling's true words, but he was afraid that it would give people the feeling of hiding something.
The sweet soup sent by the old man made Yuan Qing live a paradise-like life for two days.
I don't vomit, I can eat a little bit, and I feel nauseated occasionally, but compared with the original, it's nothing to mention.
Moreover, under the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, she could get out of bed and take a walk in the yard every day.
I would feel much more comfortable if there weren't a group of people behind me.
Yu Wenhao was unprecedentedly nervous. Before going out, he gave many instructions, especially to Xu Yi and the imperial doctor, that whenever she got out of bed, they must be guarding her behind.
Two days later, Yuan Qingping came over with the package and said happily: "This time, my father asked me to come and accompany you."
"Please?" Yuan Qingling laughed, feeling funny about Yuan Qingping's choice of words.
Yuan Qingping raised his eyebrows, "Although it is also an order, the tone is much better."
Yuan Qingping brought
Movements in the Hou Mansion.
The old lady has eaten too much recently, takes medicine actively, and goes for a walk in the yard every day.
My elder brother Yuan Lunwen was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The second old lady was teaching the housekeeper a lesson that day, but the old lady actually interrupted and helped the housekeeper.
Yuan Qingping said with a smile: "You haven't seen how ugly her face suddenly became. Her eyes were wide open. She was very surprised."
"Why is she surprised?" Yuan Qingling asked while eating dried plums.
"Of course I was surprised that my grandmother actually took charge of the affairs of the government. Then my grandmother was dumbfounded when she saw her, and even told her to get the account book to reconcile the accounts. This really frightened her."
Yuan Qing Ling was startled, "Really?"
The reconciliation of accounts is originally done by the mistress and the accountant. Does the old lady have to take care of the housework?
The second lady has probably taken a lot of money from the government privately over the years. If the accounts are to be reconciled, the second lady will definitely step down.
The old lady is shrewd. If she really wants to take care of it, the second old lady can't hide it.
Yuan Qingling was very happy. The old lady seemed to have cheered up.
"By the way, I brought a lot of things. My father and mother also gave you things, as well as my brother's." Yuan Qingping asked the maid to open the box and took out the things one by one.
What Jingwai and Huang gave was a golden pig.
Next year is the Year of the Pig, and if everything goes well, your child will be born in the Year of the Pig. Therefore, getting a Golden Pig can be regarded as a heavy investment.
The eldest brother Yuan Lunwen gave me a rattle.
"Brother made it with his own hands." Yuan Qingping handed it over. The rattle had a cowhide cover and the two marbles were made of wood. Yuan Qing shook it and it made a "pop" sound, a bit like the sound of a heartbeat.
This gift is very clever and thoughtful. When the baby is living in the mother's body
, the best music is the mother's heartbeat, and the sound made by this rattle will make the baby familiar and at ease.
"Brother would like to buy something better, but he doesn't have any money. His salary and salary are all handed over to the government, and the money is divided into monthly money every month. As you know, the second old lady is very tight-lipped, and the monthly money is not much." Yuan Qingping curled her lips.
"I know." Yuan Qingling handed the rattle to Aunt Xi, "Put it away."
Yuan Qingping took out two more small clothes. They were blue with dark cloud patterns and no embroidery. They were soft and comfortable. He blushed and said, "I made these."
Yuan Qingling took it, touched it with her hand, and said with a smile: "You made it? It's so pretty."
His grandma smiled and said, "Second Miss is really considerate. These clothes are so beautifully made. It makes people feel softer at once."
Yuan Qingping said with shame: "As my aunt, I don't have anything good to give him. I just made two small clothes. I will have to make them again when he is born."
Yuan Qingping has always been carefree, but Yuan Qingling didn't expect her to be so good at needlework. Gu Si, that boy, would be really lucky if he married her.
Speaking of Gu Si, Yuan Qingling sent everyone in the room away, leaving the two sisters to talk.
"What's going on with your marriage?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Yuan Qing was discouraged, "You're so good, can you not say this? It ruins my good mood."
"I asked your brother-in-law to keep an eye on it for you before." Yuan Qing Ling said.
Yuan Qingping was startled, then sneered, "Come on, the prince will still care about this matter? Don't comfort me, anyway, as long as he can keep his life, that person will not be octogenarian, or his appearance will not be ugly and unbearable to see.
, I’ll forget it.”
"Why do you think so? Too lazy
Awesome." Yuan Qingling always felt that despite her young age, she was particularly pessimistic and negative, thinking of the worst in everything.
Yuan Qingping said calmly: "It's not negative. Do you remember Xiaolan? She is getting married. She will marry Bachelor Wu to fill a house. Bachelor Wu is already sixty-two this year, and Xiaolan is not yet sixteen."
Xiaolan?
An innocent and childish round face appeared in Yuan Qingling's mind.
The girl has two particularly beautiful dimples when she smiles.
She likes to play shuttlecock, butterfly flapping, and is particularly good at needlework.
Her father seems to be working in Jingzhao Mansion.
Yuan Qingling felt nauseated when she thought of such a cute little girl marrying an old man who was about to sell salted duck eggs.
Yuan Qingling suddenly felt that her whole body was not well.
What kind of world is this?
"When will you get married?" Yuan Qingling asked, covering her chest as if she had swallowed a fly.
"We just exchanged invitations and are waiting for the appointment." Yuan Qingping seemed to be holding back a breath of anger and said: "Before I came here, she came to see me and said she wanted to chat with me. I came over in a hurry and asked her to
Come find me soon."
Yuan Qingling looked at her, "Huh?"
Yuan Qingping smiled bitterly and said, "Don't look at me like that. I need someone who has the same problem to talk to me and give me courage. Don't worry, I can just talk outside without bringing her in."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "It's okay for her to come. It's not like I don't know her."
"Well." Yuan Qingping packed up his things, "You need to rest, I'll go out first."
Yuan Qingping pulled her to sit down, "Let me ask you, do you still remember Gu Si?"
"Gu Si? You know him, the deputy chief of the Imperial Guard." Yuan Qing said.
"If he wants to marry you, will you?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Yuan Qing
Ping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
After laughing, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I laughed so much that tears came out of my eyes. Sister, although you are the princess, you can't manipulate the Gu family. Do you know how powerful the Gu family is in Beijing? He just wants to marry someone.
Princess, it's not a problem at all, me? I'm just the daughter of a run-down prince's house. To put it bluntly, even the great scholar Wu and his ilk don't look down on our family. My father's position as minister has been maintained with money all these years.
Yes, if we hadn't won the hereditary title, our family would have been in ruins long ago. Who can think highly of us?"
Chapter 206 What kind of world is this?
Yuan Qingling is aware of the current embarrassing situation in the Hou Mansion.
In the past few years, the Hou Mansion has not produced any powerful people. My father spent a lot of money to protect the position of minister in the East and the West. Every time he was evaluated by the officials, he had to ask someone to go through the back door through connections, otherwise he would have been dismissed long ago.
At the beginning of this year, the Emperor criticized certain yamen by name, saying that some officials were eating nothing but waiting to die. This year's assessment is to deal with these people.
After waiting quietly, he naturally clicked into his seat. He knew that he was such a person.
A person whose heart is as high as the sky and whose talent is as thin as a piece of paper always sighs and refuses to talk to me about his talents. In fact, he knows it best in his heart.
He just doesn't have the ability.
He didn't even have the ability to hug someone's thighs, so he could only win over courtiers by marrying off daughters in an attempt to secure his position.
He always said that he wanted to aspire to the position of Minister, but in fact, he knew in his heart that it would be good to keep the position of Minister.
He knew it, everyone in the mansion knew it, even Yuan Qingping knew it.
That's why she said that she couldn't be worthy of Gu Si. This was not belittlement, it was true self-awareness.
Yuan Qingling's heart was soft and fragile, and she couldn't bear to hear these things.
Sighing softly, "Forget it, let's talk about this later."
"Don't worry about me, I'm ready." Yuan Qing smiled, "Actually, it's not that bad. There are still many people who envy Xiaolan. With her family background, she can marry
To the great bachelor, this is like smoke rising from the ancestral graves."
Yuan Qingping's last words could not suppress the irony.
Yuan Qingling felt the turbid air coming up from her chest again. She frowned and couldn't help but run to the spittoon and vomited.
Yuan Qingping
Startled, she quickly opened the door and called for someone to come in. She ran over and swept Yuan Qingling's back.
"It's okay, it's okay, vomiting is normal." After Yuan Qingling finished vomiting, she comforted her with a white face.
Aunt Xi actually heard them talking outside, so she quietly pulled Yuan Qingping aside and said, "Then if Xiaolan comes, it's better not to let the princess see her."
Yuan Qingping nodded, "I understand, I will take her outside to talk and then let her go."
She remembered that she was a little reckless, so how could she ask Xiaolan to come?
The eldest sister knows Xiaolan. How can Xiaolan be the stepmother of a group of court officials with her temperament? She is not as good as herself.
After Yuan Qingling finished vomiting, she fell asleep for a while.
After waking up, Green Ya came in to wait on me.
"Where's the second young lady?" Yuan Qingling asked. She didn't get up either. She was lying on the bed, feeling that the discomfort from the previous few days had returned.
"The second young lady is in the front yard, talking to someone." Luya said.
Yuan Qingling remembered that she had invited Xiaolan to come over before, so it was probably Xiaolan who came.
She sat up slowly and said, "Go and invite the second lady and her friends in."
Lu Ya was startled for a moment, then she remembered that Aunt Xi had ordered not to tell the princess that someone was coming.
"Go!" Yuan Qing Ling said.
The green buds have to go out.
After leaving the door, Grandma Xi came in with sour plum soup and asked: "Are you awake?"
Luya said with a guilty conscience: "Wake up, the princess said she wants to see the second young lady and that girl Xiaolan."
Aunt Xi glared at her, "Talk too much!"
Luya lowered her head, "I know I was wrong."
Aunt Xi said: "Since the princess wants to see you, go and spread the news."
The green buds responded and left.
Aunt Xi came in with sour plum soup. Yuan Qingling
She was thirsty and drank half a bowl in one breath. The sour taste made her stomach feel comfortable immediately.
"Why do I love sour food so much?" Yuan Qing Ling said with a smile.
Auntie Xi also smiled, "Such a hot girl, this baby will definitely be the heir apparent."
Yuan Qing Ling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are the prince or the princess, as long as you are safe."
"Yes, it's good to be safe." Aunt Xi said.
After a while, Yuan Qingping came in leading a cute little girl with a round face.
She timidly followed Yuan Qingping, her eyes peeked and then quickly lowered, like a little rabbit.
"See you, Princess!" Xiaolan stepped forward timidly and saluted.
Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "Xiaolan, why are you separated from me? Sit down quickly!"
She still has great memories and feelings about this girl, which shows that the original owner also liked this girl.
When Xiaolan saw Yuan Qing's gentle face, she immediately smiled, showing two tiger teeth, which was particularly cute.
"Sister Ling!" Xiaolan shouted.
Yuan Qingling fell in love with this girl immediately.
It's not the sense of familiarity with the original owner, but the fact that this girl can see everything at a glance, she is very real and innocent.
However, seeing her being so innocent yet marrying a bad old man made Yuan Qingling feel uncomfortable. After a few words with Xiaolan, she asked Yuan Qingping to take her down.
However, as soon as Xiaolan walked out, she turned back and asked Yuan Qingling, "Sister Ling, can I stay in the palace for one day? Just for one day. I won't run around, so I will stay with Sister Ping."
Yuan Qingping said: "No, my brother-in-law doesn't allow outsiders to come. After I go back, you can come and live in the Marquis' Mansion."
Xiaolan said oh, but it was obvious that she was a little disappointed.
Yuan Qingling saw this and said: "Then let her
Let’s stay for a day and talk to you.”
Xiaolan suddenly became happy and said, "Thank you, Sister Ling."
Yuan Qingling asked Lu Ya to arrange a place for her, but there was no need to make any arrangements, just stay together with Yuan Qing.
After Luya came back, she said to Aunt Xi: "This Miss Xiaolan asked the maid to bring her clothes. Does she know that she can live here?"
Aunt Xi said: "The second young lady should have made a promise to her earlier. It won't be a problem to stay here for just one day, so she can always stay in front of the princess."
A simple girl with an uncomplicated family background should not be in trouble.
When Yu Wenhao came back in the evening, Yuan Qingling told him that he would keep an old little sister at home for a day.
Yu Wenhao said: "You can stay if you like, it doesn't matter, but you can't let her disturb you to rest."
"No, she's playing with Yuan Qingping. By the way, her father works in Jingzhao Mansion, and she's about to marry Grand Bachelor Wu." Yuan Qingling said.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Master Wu? Are you almost eighty?"
"Sixty-two." Yuan Qingling's face turned pale, "Are you as old as eighty?"
"Who knows how old he is? He looks like an old man, but he still marries a young girl at this age? Doesn't that mean that if he marries someone, he will be left a widow?" After Yu Wenhao finished speaking, he glanced at her lips and chest. He was now
I understand this feeling so well.
Yuan Qing laughed and scolded: "What's your look?"
"Isn't it okay to look at it?" Yu Wenhao was unconvinced. He couldn't move and was not allowed to look at it?
Yuan Qingling, who can't move but can only be fierce, still looks... looking at her pitifully thin face, she is still so cute that it makes people feel sad.
He rubbed melancholy
Her face said, "You need to eat more. How can you be so thin? The strong wind will blow you away."
"When you talk about that troublesome old man thing, why does it bring up the matter of whether I eat too much or not? When I talk about eating, I feel worried. I want to eat, but I can eat it?" The little monster in Yuan Qingling's heart
He's about to be released again.
"I'll go back to the palace and ask the emperor's grandfather for a bowl of soup. You drank it before and you felt good for a few days." Yu Wenhao said.
Chapter 207 Ghost Pond Scene
Yuan Qingling rested her head on his shoulder weakly, "Don't go, just stay here with me."
"Are you acting like a spoiled child?" Yu Wenhao stroked her hair and kissed her cheek lovingly.
Yuan Qingling closed her eyes, and the thought of not having children came to mind again, "I always thought that we could have a world of two for a few years, but I didn't expect that there would be one more person so soon."
"A world of two? What world of two?" Yu Wenhao looked at her doubtfully.
"It's just you and me."
"It's not just me and you in the palace, there are so many people."
Yuan Qingling raised her eyes, looked at his almost demented face, then slowly closed them, forget it, no more explanation.
I couldn't eat dinner, but fortunately, around Haishi, Eunuch Chang personally brought soup. It tasted the same as last time. After Yuan Qingling drank it, she felt much better.
Yu Wenhao couldn't help but ask Eunuch Chang again, "What on earth is this? Can't you give the recipe to me?"
Chang Gong said fairly: "It's impossible. Anything that takes effect quickly has certain harmful effects. The Emperor just can't bear the princess's discomfort. As long as you can hold on, you don't need to drink this."
Yuan Qingling asked curiously: "Isn't this coconut juice plus bird's nest? What else can be harmful?"
She knew that bird's nests were not beneficial, but they were not harmful to the human body.
"Does the princess only drink these two kinds of drinks?" Chang Eunuch asked with a smile.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "There is also some herbal flavor, like licorice or bupleurum?"
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Can licorice and bupleurum be mixed with bird's nest and coconut juice? It tastes terrible."
"It's not bad to drink, and of course it's not very delicious, but it's hard to drink it.
It just makes you feel nauseous." Yuan Qing Ling said.
Eunuch Chang said with a smile: "When the princess no longer has nausea and obstruction, I can tell the princess."
After saying that, Eunuch Chang also left.
Yuan Qingling frowned, "You must have put something very disgusting, otherwise why didn't you tell me?"
"Maybe I put some valuable things away, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would have a psychological burden." Yu Wenhao comforted.
Yuan Qing smiled and said: "He gave me a few beads, which are also very valuable, and a royal staff..."
She put it in her sleeve pocket, but Yu Wenhao quickly stopped her, "Okay, don't take it out, I get a headache when I see that royal staff."
"If I don't beat you, why will it hurt you?" Yuan Qing Ling said with a smile.
Yu Wenhao helped her take off her clothes and said, "Sleep!"
Yuan Qingling took advantage of the situation and lay down, and he also lay down immediately, reaching out his hand out of habit. She also raised her head out of habit, letting his arm rest under her head, and she rested on one side of her body.
in the arms of.
This action is so common that it has almost become inertia.
As long as he stretched out his hand, she would immediately raise her head and let his arm pass through her. The movement was done in one go and very skillfully.
In the past, neither of them noticed it, but tonight they both noticed it at the same time and looked at each other with a smile.
It turns out that if a couple has been together for a long time, many things will really fall into place and become habits.
His habit also includes that when he holds her in his arms, he can't help but kiss her cheek, neck, and his hands will roam restlessly.
Both of them were in good spirits tonight. Yu Wenhao saw that Yuan Qingling was in good spirits, so he was in good spirits.
Yuan Qingling took his hand and put it against her chest. Yu Wenhao suddenly shrank back, "Don't tease people, it's so late at night."
, I don’t want to take a cold shower.”
It's so hot that you can't touch it. You'll be tortured for the whole night, so don't even think about sleeping.
Yuan Qingling turned over and pressed forward, exhaling like a blue breath on his lips, "I guess you're not afraid anymore. Just be gentle."
Yu Wenhao looked at her, "Seriously?"
"Seriously!" Yuan Qingling's eyes were blurred.
Yu Wenhao sat up, slowly helped her lie down, and said seriously: "You can't touch me at all tonight, not even my sleeves. Move in, and then move in."
Yuan Qingling rolled her eyes at him, "Are you still pretending to be Liu Xiahui?"
"What the imperial doctor said, please remember," Yu Wenhao lay down, slowly adjusted his breathing, and hypnotized his mind. The person next to him was a goblin, a monster, and could not be touched or ignored. "Amitabha!"
Yuan Qing Ling was just teasing him, but when she saw him like this, she got really excited. She wrapped her body around him and pressed her lips against him.
"Amitabha!" Vague words escaped from his lips, but the color of his eyes suddenly darkened, and his hands slowly hugged her back.
After a cup of tea, Yuan Qingling lay down with a smile and said seriously: "Don't touch me, there is a 38th line between us, Amitabha."
Yu Wenhao got up cursing, packed two pieces of clothes, and went out wearing his bed shoes.
"Master, are you going to take a cold shower again?" Xu Yi stayed out all night and usually went to rest at midnight, so he was used to this scene.
"Nothing!" Yu Wenhao left without looking back.
Xu Yi shrugged, "They said I would find two people to serve you, but you don't want them. Who can blame you?"
Yu Wenhao was extremely angry.
There is a cold pool next to the ghost pool
, since Yuan Qingling became pregnant, he came here much more frequently, and Tang Yang asked someone to leave a light.
The light was dim. He stood at the screen and took off his outer clothes. Just as he was about to peel off the pajamas underneath, he saw the light and shadow move. Someone quickly came in and took off his clothes from behind. His hands were taken from his, and his body
Come up close.
Yu Wenhao smiled, "Why are you coming here if you don't want to sleep? Go back to sleep."
Her lips pressed against his shoulder, with a rapid breathing sound.
Yu Wenhao was startled. He held the hand that was hugging his body and turned around suddenly. What came into view was a round-faced girl with a bright red face and eyes like clouds and mist. She was looking at him timidly and shyly.
Yu Wenhao pushed her away and asked sharply: "Who are you? Who asked you to come in?"
The girl fell to the ground, then knelt down, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she looked pitiful, "My name is Xiaolan, and I am here to serve the prince."
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "Who asked you to serve?"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Qiluo, Qiluo!"
It was late at night and no one was outside.
He grabbed Xiaolan's hand with one hand and dragged him out.
As soon as she left the yard, she saw Yuan Qingping coming out. She saw Yu Wenhao naked and dragging Xiaolan out. She was so frightened that her face changed, "My lord, you..."
She rushed forward to protect Xiaolan by her side, looking at Yu Wenhao with hostility, her lips trembling, "How could you do this?"
Yu Wenhao stared at her and narrowed his eyes, "Did you give the order?"
Yuan Qingping asked Xiaolan, "How are you? Are you okay? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xiaolan shook her head timidly, and tears fell from her eyes, which made her even more pitiful and miserable.
Yu Wenhao
Furious, he grabbed Xiaolan with one hand and said, "Who asked you to do this?"
Xu Yi, Luya Qiluo and others ran over and were frightened when they saw this scene.
Why does the prince bully this little girl?
Yuan Qingping was also angry, "Don't think that just because you are a prince, you can bully a common woman. Let her go."
Chapter 208: Want to be a concubine
Yu Wenhao was so angry that he was furious, but judging from his sister-in-law's tone, it seemed that she was not instigating others.
Such shouting naturally alarmed Yuan Qingling.
Aunt Xi helped her over. She was wearing a brocade cloak, which was dragging on the ground. Because she was walking in a hurry, her steps were accommodating to her body, just like a windy penguin.
"What's going on?" She stepped forward, glanced at Xiaolan, and then at Yu Wenhao, who looked furious.
Yuan Qingping said aggrievedly: "Sister, Your Majesty, he actually treated Xiaolan...how could he do this?"
Yu Wenhao was so angry that he said angrily: "I was bathing in the ghost pool, and she broke in and hugged me from behind. I just dragged her out."
Yuan Qingping was startled, "Nonsense..."
However, she stopped talking immediately and looked at Xiaolan, "You said you went out for a walk. Where did you go?"
But no, she can trust Xiaolan, she has a simple heart.
Xiaolan immediately knelt on the ground, crying loudly, her voice was sad and desperate, and she did not defend herself.
Yuan Qingping didn't know whether it was true or false for a moment. She didn't know whether she was crying because she was bullied or because of something else.
Yuan Qingling glanced at Yu Wenhao and said to Xu: "Send the prince to take a bath."
"What a ghost..." Yu Wenhao was still angry, but he received Yuan Qing Ling's cold eyes, "Wash and wipe the place where the woman just touched, Xu Yi, help him
Wash, wherever you have been touched, rub it hard for me!"
Xu Yixiong bravely accepted the order and dragged Yu Wenhao away.
Yu Wenhao did not forget to turn around and defend, "I never touched her, I knew it when she hugged her..."
"Luya, Qiluo, take the second young lady and Miss Xiaolan to the side hall." Yuan Qingling turned around and left.
Grandma hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Yuan Qingling's breath was a little short, she was angry.
Xiaolan was dragged up by Qiluo and said: "Go ahead, why are you crying? Did the prince bully you?"
Yuan Qingping stared at Qiluo, "Could it be that Xiaolan seduced him?"
She wouldn't believe it even to death.
Xiaolan just cried and let Qiluo drag her in.
Yuan Qingling sat on the chair, the annoyance in her heart welled up again, and she felt like vomiting.
She tried her best to hold back and asked Aunt Xi to bring her some water. She took a sip and then looked at Xiaolan and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Yuan Qingping couldn't help but stepped forward, "Sister, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaolan. She was bullied. Even if you don't stand up for her, you shouldn't question her."
Yuan Qingling glanced at Yuan Qingping and said, "Shut up first and listen to her."
Xiaolan still only cried and said nothing.
Yuan Qingling became impatient and said sternly: "Stop crying."
"Sister!" Yuan Qingping looked at her with disappointment, "She is the one who was bullied, why did you drink her?"
Yuan Qingling looked at this sister who was originally smarter. Is she showing off her brains today?
Yuan Qingling held back her breath and said calmly: "Okay, tell me how this matter will end now."
Xiaolan sobbed and said: "Sister Ling, I don't ask for anything. Now that my innocence has been damaged, I beg Sister Ling to let me stay in the palace. Even if I can be a slave, I can serve you and the prince. I don't ask for status."
Yuan Qingling sighed softly, "Okay, since you said so, then I will help you."
Xiaolan raised her head, a trace of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, "Sister Xie Ling is here to help."
"Aunt Xi, look at who else in our family is not married, point Xiaolan to him." Yuan Qing
Lingdao.
"The concierge Ah Tu is not married yet." Aunt Xi said.
"Okay, the palace will provide this money to help them get married." Yuan Qingling said.
Xiaolan was startled, her face turned pale, and she started crying again, "Sister Ling, you are trying to force me to death!"
Yuan Qingping was so angry that he shook his head.
Yuan Qing Ling came closer and said: "Forcing you to death? You said you were willing to stay in the palace as a slave. What? You didn't mean it?"
Xiaolan was so frightened that she stopped crying and knelt on the ground, kowtowing, "Sister Ling, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Yuan Qingling asked in a cold tone: "What's wrong?"
Xiaolan cried and said, "Someone taught me to do this. That person said that as long as the prince touches me, he will marry me as his concubine. She said that this is how you, Sister Ling, became the Princess of Chu."
Yuan Qingping could hardly believe his ears, his face turned pale, "Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"
Xiaolan raised her head and looked at Yuan Qingping, her face full of tears, "Sister Ping, you have to forgive me. I also went astray for a while. I don't want to marry the great scholar Wu. As long as I become the concubine of the King of Chu, even if the engagement is broken off,
, Grand Scholar Wu doesn’t dare to trouble his father.”
Yuan Qing held his breath and said, "You are... you are so confused and unreasonable. I thought you were being bullied and Baba stood up for you. Why are you so stupid? I really want to slap you to death."
Xiaolan was crying, looking at Yuan Qingping in confusion and panic, and then at Yuan Qingling, her eyelashes fluttering, fearful and uneasy.
"Who is the person who instigated you like this?" Yuan Qingling asked coldly.
Xiaolan still just cried and didn't say anything.
Yuan Qing held his breath and held her hand, "Tell me, who told you to do this?"
Xiaolan then stammered more and said: "It's Princess Ji. Yesterday, Princess Ji ordered someone to invite me to Prince Ji's Mansion. She asked me to go to Sister Ping to talk about my marriage, and then asked me to say that I was unhappy and wanted to go to Prince Ji's Mansion.
I was talking to you, trying to find a way to sneak into the palace, but it happened that you came to the palace today, and the matter..."
Her voice became lower and lower.
Yuan Qingping's hands and feet were cold, but he didn't expect that he would be taken advantage of.
She was extremely disappointed, "I don't have you as a friend anymore. Just go back and don't come to me in the future."
Aunt Xi was about to speak out, but Yuan Qingling stopped her, "Let the second lady handle it."
Aunt Xi had no choice but to stop talking. The second lady let her go, but still protected her. The palace had not punished her yet.
Xiaolan went out crying, went back to pack her clothes, and left in dejection with her maid.
Yuan Qingping looked at the eldest sister and lowered her head guiltily, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Xiaolan to have such thoughts."
Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "It will be better to be more thoughtful in the future."
In fact, it's okay for Princess Ji to make some mistakes. She has been silent all the time, and she doesn't know what big move she is holding back, which is even more terrifying.
This little fuss would be perfect to add a little spice to her boring days of confinement.
Yuan Qing said with hatred: "Then why is Princess Ji biting you like a mad dog and not letting go?"
Yuan Qing scolded her lightly, "You must not be rude, how can you compare a dog to her? Duobao will be angry."
Duobao rushed in wagging his tail and crawled at Yuan Qingling's feet, looking deeply impressed.
Yuan Qingping couldn't help laughing, but he still said angrily: "I should be careful in the future. Outsiders know that I can enter and leave the palace at will. If
If someone has ulterior motives for you, they will definitely take advantage of me."
