Princess Yulong

Chapter 38: Night Talk


.,

With the sound of "squeak", Zhang's mother rushed in. She had already relaxed her hands and feet, but she was immediately aware of the looseness of the strings when she lowered her head.

"Mom is here." The voice was not in a hurry, without the slightest fluctuation.

Although Zhang's mother was pretending to be troubled, she still approached respectfully and saluted, "Girl is well."

Lingluo stopped her hands, raised her head and smiled sweetly at her, and pointed to the embroidery frame, "Mother has something to sit down and talk about."

"Miss Xie, the old slave let Jin Yu hold onto Zhui'er, just stood there and said a few words, and left soon." Mama Zhang was always polite, and she was afraid that she would get too close to Lingluo as a rough woman. aroused suspicion.

Ling Luo smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, mom sits at ease, gold and jade are measured."

After finishing speaking, she straightened up and went to pour tea. Mama Zhang, who was still standing, saw her and immediately came to replace her hand. Lingluo didn't refuse, and said again.

"Today's coachman is very clever. Mom wants to thank him for me."

While putting down the teapot, Mother Zhang said, "Don't worry, girl, the old slave has known the coachman for five or six years, and he is absolutely trustworthy."

Ling Luo nodded, "I believe in Mom, Mom has worked hard for many years."

Zhang's mother even said she didn't dare, and then carefully looked at Lingluo, hesitant to speak.Lingluo saw her expression in her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said, "Don't worry, mom, I know what's in my heart. It's just a matter of going to see the beautiful boss today. Mom has helped me a lot these days." Pay attention to the Tanglu side, such a good opportunity to move Zipei, Green Bamboo will not let it go."

Mother Zhang nodded solemnly, thought for a while, and then asked worriedly: "Mrs. Zipei just had an accident, will Mrs. Luzhu still stare at her?"

"Yes." Ling Luo replied affirmatively, "Even if she can't, I will make her have to."

After Ling Luo finished speaking, she lowered her eyes calmly, her long eyelashes were lowered, which well concealed the emotion in her eyes, just for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Zhang's mother again, with a smile at the corner of her mouth, and said gently and delicately.

"Mom, go and help me with something!"

"Girl, just give orders."

"I still remember that there is a snack called bun noodles in my hometown. You can help me make a bowl in the middle of the night."

After hearing this, Zhang's mother was both funny and heartbroken, and her eyes turned red, "It's been so many years, the girl still remembers, as long as you want to eat, the old slave will make it, let alone a bowl , even if it’s ten bowls or eight bowls.”

Lingluo immediately became happy, her eyes rolled into a smile, and she hurriedly said: "It doesn't take that much, mom can make two bowls, two bowls are enough. Be sure to check the time, and send it in on time at midnight, don't leave early Night."

Although Zhang's mother was a little surprised at the time she emphasized, she agreed happily when she thought that Lingluo hadn't eaten food from her hometown for many years, so she couldn't think too much about it.

There was the sound of the third watch in the distance, and Lingluo was sitting at the round table holding a white porcelain bowl, in which was the breaded noodles that Zhang's mother had just made.

"Miss, try it. The old servant has boiled the bone soup all afternoon. The pork is fresh. How does it taste, miss?"

Looking at the bright smile in Lingluo's eyes, Zhang's mother's heart was astringent and sweet, Lingluo took a sip of the fragrant soup first, and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right, that's the smell. Thank you, Mom. Go down and collect things later."

Zhang's mother agreed happily, and quietly withdrew. Lingluo couldn't wait to pick a breaded dough and put it on the silver chopsticks. Before she had time to take a bite, she heard another "squeak" from the door.

Lingluo looked up and saw that the person had already walked in, she got up and saluted casually, "I have seen His Highness, the servants are having supper, do you want to join us, Your Highness?"

That's right, it was Li Chenghao who came here. Seeing her like this, Li Chenghao was not very surprised, he just raised his eyebrows and said: "Eating in the middle of the night, you are not afraid of panic."

Ling Luo replied with a smile: "Isn't this going to wait for His Highness to come over, wait until you're hungry, the servants usually go to bed early."

Li Chenghao narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and soon put on a little smile, walked directly to sit opposite her, and there was also a white porcelain bowl in front of her, and he curled his lips.

"Aren't you ready for this king?"

Lingluo owed her body before sitting down again, and said: "This is called breaded noodles. When I was in the palace, my servant ate a little sister's food. She said it was a snack from her hometown. The servant likes this taste, so I mentioned it this afternoon. Mama Zhang here can also cook, I asked her to make two bowls just now, would you like to try it, Your Highness?"

Li Chenghao first looked at the white skin in the white porcelain bowl, then raised his head to look at Lingluo, although the corner of his mouth was still smiling, his eyes dimmed unconsciously.

With a meaningless smile, he picked up the spare silver chopsticks, picked out a breaded noodle from the bowl in front of him, put it in his own bowl, and bit into it in front of his face, then said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness. , not poisonous."

Seeing that Li Chenghao still didn't move, Ling Luo smiled innocently, "It's fine if your Highness doesn't like it, but can you please wait for your servant to finish eating, I'm really hungry, and it won't taste good if it melts."

After Ling Luo finished speaking, she curled her lips and ignored him, and continued to lower her head to eat the breaded noodles in the bowl. Just as she took one bite into her mouth, Li Chenghao on the opposite side also moved. Ling Luo paused for a while, neither of them spoke. Started to eat in a hurry.

Li Chenghao ate faster than Lingluo, and when Lingluo raised his head, he was already sitting opposite her and looking at her.The scorching gaze made Ling Luo feel awkward for a moment.

"How did you know that this king likes this?" Li Chenghao asked straight to the point.

Ling Luo didn't hold back, and replied: "Your Highness forgot, the servants grew up with Madam Lu, and Concubine Rou is from Anchang, the servants know that well."

Seeing the cold air on Li Chenghao's face, Ling Luo's heart shuddered, and he forced a smile and said, "Could your Highness agree with this servant for the sake of my servant's treating you to delicious food?"

Li Chenghao turned his body sideways and chuckled, "So you're plotting against me."

The atmosphere got better, and Ling Luo smiled even bigger, and said, "It's not a calculation, it's just a cannibalism."

"The inside and outside of this palace belong to this king, even you belong to this king." Li Chenghao glanced at her sideways, as if it was a matter of course.

Ling Luo curled her lips, looking helpless, "His Royal Highness didn't even ask the servant girl what she was asking for. Although this matter is difficult for the servant girl, it is nothing more than a matter of effort for His Highness."

"Let's talk about it and see if a bowl of bread noodles is enough for me to make a promise."

Lingluo couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, "It's not a promise, the servant just wants to ask for a sign to leave the house."

Li Chenghao raised his brows slightly, "The king's mansion doesn't have strict access control. As long as you tell me, not only can you get out smoothly, but you can also get money. In Yizhou, there is no one more enlightened than this king."

Ling Luo smiled wryly, "What Your Highness said is true, but the servants don't want to disturb the people in the mansion. A sign from His Highness not only allows the servants to enter and leave the palace at will, but also allows the servants to walk safely on the street."

As soon as the words fell, Li Chenghao swept over coldly with a profound and profound gaze, and Lingluo looked at him without the slightest dodge, but, in her always clear eyes, besides being clear, now there was also A little gentle request.

"Your Highness, don't worry, this servant will never cause trouble for the palace or cause trouble for His Highness."

Li Chenghao slowly withdrew his cold eyes, turned to look around the furnishings in the room, and said without surprise: "Wanzhi gave you that piano."

Without a questioning tone, Lingluo slightly raised her lips, and replied respectfully: "Yes, this servant girl and Mrs. Wanzhi hit it off right away, so she gave this servant girl this piano."

"She'll flatter you." Li Chenghao said something jokingly, and then asked Lingluo, "What do you think of Wanzhi?"

Ling Luo's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her eyes and said, "Mrs. Wanzhi is excellent, doesn't Your Highness like her very much?"

"Well, she is beautiful and more likable than you."

Li Chenghao chuckled, rubbed his hands and stood up, and Lingluo quickly got up and stood aside with his head slightly lowered, and saw Li Chenghao walking slowly in the room, saying: "Lingluo, you promised me, shouldn't you?" Will forget it!"

Lingluo looked up at him very quickly, saw that his expression was half a smile, immediately lowered his eyes again, and said: "I don't dare, I just dare to ask Your Highness, why did you ask for green bamboo to enter the mansion?"

Li Chenghao flicked the sleeves of his robe, and made a slight "Xisuo" sound, "Because she is beautiful."

Ling Luo bit her lip, said "Deng Tuzi" in her heart, but asked calmly on her face, "Didn't Your Highness know her identity back then?"

Unexpectedly, Li Chenghao and Ben didn't follow the scattered train of thought, but said with a light smile, "Status is not important, the important thing is that she is beautiful, I have always liked beauty, don't you get into it because of your beauty?" In the eyes of this king?"

Ling Luo was helpless, and looked at Li Chenghao resentfully, and said, "Why is this, Your Highness, this servant just wants to remind His Highness to pay more attention to Mr. Qian in the household department recently."

This time, Li Chenghao's smiling face became more sincere, and he said: "Actually, Ling Luo, this king is very innocent, except for a small part of the military power in Xuzhou, and a high-ranking prince title, the entire court, this king has no connections at all. What's more, this king has been pretending to be crippled all the time, why are they still unwilling to let him live a stable life?"

Ling Luo smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know about court affairs, I just learned a little about the origins of the ladies in the mansion before entering the mansion. Everyone else understands it very well, only this Mrs. Luzhu is a little strange."

"Let's hear it." Li Chenghao said with interest, and then walked to the soft couch and sat down.

Ling Luo pursed her lips into a smile, leaned forward and said, "Everyone knows that His Highness has difficulty moving after returning to Beijing, and it is a bit of a coincidence that His Highness King Wen invited you to the suburbs to enjoy flowers, and you just happened to meet a beautiful singing girl.

Even if you have a predestined relationship with Luzhu in this life, the place His Royal Highness King Wen invited you to is his other courtyard.Although His Royal Highness King Wen has always kept a low profile, there are indeed farmers living around the other courtyard, and the identity of the Lvzhu farm girl can indeed be verified.But the maidservant believes that, Your Highness, you must also know about Luzhu's behavior after entering the mansion.

It's not surprising that a peasant girl who just entered the palace was cautious because of her status and wanted to please the people in the palace, but her fault was that she was too impatient.

As far as the servants knew, she had just entered the mansion for ten days, and she started to win over the servants. The moves were not considered extravagant, but they were enough to impress.Moreover, she once talked about porcelain in the courtyard of the slaves, chatted on weekdays, and knew a lot about jewelry fabrics. She was not at all like a rich peasant girl, but more like a well-educated lady. "

Li Chenghao looked at Lingluo with bright eyes, and asked, "Then what does this have to do with Mr. Qian from the household department?"

Lingluo replied earnestly: "This servant is greedy and often asks the old lady to go out to buy snacks. She has seen Lin's mother next to Luzhu go to meet the son of the housekeeper of Qian's house more than once. Later, the servant tried it out on purpose. Zhu explained that Mother Lin and the steward of Qian's house were distant cousins, and sometimes she would ask someone to bring things to her hometown.

After the servant girl tried it, the old lady in the yard never saw them meet again. The servant girl believed it, but just today, the servant girl went shopping with Lvzhu, and the servant girl Jinyu found that Mama Lin After accepting a young man's money bag, Luzhu generously gave money to the things that the servants looked at in the shop. "

Ling Luo stopped here, and seeing Li Chenghao looking over, he said slowly: "Your Highness does not know, the shop that Lv Zhu took the slaves to is a well-known cosmetic shop in Yizhou City. The things are naturally different. Not to mention cheap, according to what Lu Zhu said, most of the things in that shop came by water, and His Highness knew better than the slaves that everything that was transported by water had to go through the hands of the Ministry of Households.

Moreover, there is a glass screen that only exists in the palace in the beauty incense, and Lu Zhu made it very clear that without the instructions of the Ministry of Household Affairs, even the county head of the town government's mansion will not do if he likes it. "

"Based on these, it is too far-fetched to think that she has something to do with Qian Shangshu." Li Chenghao said while pouring tea.

"Yes." Ling Luo nodded slightly, and said again: "These are just my own guesses, so I asked His Highness for a sign to leave the house. There are some things that His Highness doesn't bother to think about doing, but some people, can We are always on guard!"

Li Chenghao looked over at him now, and suddenly smiled with his lips curled up, his eyes were bottomless.
