Yijuan cloud

Chapter 85
"I like Prince Yi." I blurted out.

As expected, Linghua was extremely surprised. She just looked at me in shock and was speechless for a long time.

I smiled bitterly, turned around and sat back on the couch, looking at the "Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant" hanging on the wall opposite.

It used to be kept in Prince Yi's study. When I was his maid, I once took out the bullet ash and opened it to see that it was a painting by Zhao Ji. When he woke up, he seemed as if he hadn't seen her before.

I never thought that he was careful.

Except for this one hanging on the wall, all the calligraphy and paintings in the calligraphy and painting vat are rare treasures. Without his instructions, how could anyone dare to transport them to me privately?
I said softly: "I don't want to climb Gao Zhi'er as they said, and in my eyes, I don't think Gao Zhi'er is anything. Given that he is a prince, am I going to chase him? If you say so, what will happen to the superiors? There is an emperor, and we are talking privately, let me tell you something, I should have gone to the draft the year before last year, because my mother and I didn’t think there was anything good about the draft, so we asked my sister to go, and as soon as she went , he was elected, and if something hadn’t happened later, he might have been someone from the palace.”

"I used to read poems and say, 'The pipa strings speak of lovesickness.' I always didn't understand. If one person misses another person, can playing the piano reveal his thoughts? Later, I first escaped from the Tumote tribe and left the prince alone. After staying, I realized that, to be honest, at that time, all I could think about was Prince Yi, and I missed him so much that I really couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep at night.”

I said in a daze, then smiled and said: "He also likes me, Linghua, you don't know how it feels. When you are with him, it seems that everything in the world has been forgotten, and only me and him are left, and we are the happiest than I have ever been." I still want to rejoice in the things that happen, you ask, I love a person so much, why don’t I have fellowship with him?”

Linghua was dumbfounded. I smiled at her and asked her, "Linghua, do you have someone you like?"

She shook her head hurriedly, walked to me, looked at me with concern, and whispered: "Duo'er, I don't quite understand what you said, but I can see that the prince treats you really well. According to what you said, You and the prince have the same mind, and you have saved the prince’s life. Wouldn’t it be a while before the prince takes you in?”

I said shyly: "The prince also has this plan, but he can't go back to Shangjing right now. If he accepts me now, I will go back to Shangjing, so I haven't made it public."

After saying that, I hurriedly said: "I don't mean to hide it, but there is no other way at the moment. In this house, I will only tell you, Linghua, you don't miss me like they do, do you?"

Linghua shook her head hurriedly and said: "Although I am surprised, I know who you are. If you really had any intentions, you would have told our prince that you had saved his life at the first sight, and then took the opportunity to get out. Why wait until today? It's just Duo'er, I'm still worried about you. You also know that our princess is jealous. She is not like the other mistresses who help the master take concubines. She can't even tolerate the concubine given by the emperor. , let alone you. After all, how can we compare with the princess with my background? Her father is the Prime Minister Zuo and has a backer. What about you? If you marry our prince, I am afraid you will suffer in the future. "

I stood up, took a few steps, and said, "Everywhere we go, family matters are unavoidable. Think about it, Linghua, whose family doesn't have some dirty things? As long as I don't break the rules, the princess can't criticize her for no reason. Taking a step back, no matter what happens, can I still be bullied? I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I was in my own home, my father's concubine was a shrewd person. She was very clever. Very good, compared to our princess, she is much easier to get along with, so you don’t have to worry about me." I smiled.

Linghua sighed and said: "I know you are smart, but you have no idea how infatuated the princess is with the prince. At first, Master Xu did not allow the young lady to marry the prince. The young lady did not eat or drink for three days, and she became seriously ill and almost died. This made the master relax, the young lady treated the prince with more than just love, I looked at him and she was risking her life."

I turned around and said, "That's why the princess was poisoned..." I blurted out half a sentence, looked out the window, and fell silent again.

Linghua also hurriedly waved her hands and said: "The princess really lost her temper that day. The prince actually asked the princess to go to the study to serve. Our princess hasn't been there yet. No wonder she is angry, but I don't think the princess is such a cruel person. .”

I glanced at Linghua and kept silent, thinking: Linghua has an honest heart, and she grew up in the Xu family. She has followed the Xu family since she was a child, so her heart is naturally biased towards the Xu family. This further proves that she is loyal and honest, but How could she know how terrifying a woman can be when she is domineering?

Linghua sighed again: "When the prince was kidnapped by the Mongolian soldiers, the princess wanted to come, but it was very chaotic outside and fighting was going on everywhere. Not to mention that the emperor didn't allow it, even if he agreed, she still couldn't come, so she often sent When people bring gifts, they are all focused on the prince. I feel frightened when I look at this situation. Duo'er, have you really thought about it?"

I was confused and confused for a while, thinking that I had forgotten that there was someone in the world who treated him like this. Did he know?But a response?

Thinking like this, I felt unbearable in my heart, and thought that I shouldn't think like this, otherwise, why would I be like Xu?
What's more, Xu and Cao Yingshan were both granted marriage by the emperor, which is incomparable to my relationship with Prince Yi.After a moment of silence, I said: "Since the princess is the daughter of the prime minister, she doesn't want to be known as a jealous person. If I also serve the prince wholeheartedly and follow the rules, what can she do to me? I also didn't want to be a concubine in the past. It's just that there's nothing I can do about it. If I abandon him because of his strong wife, then I don't want to. You may be used to calling her Duo'er for another matter, but don't call her by the name Duo'er in the future. , I really don’t like it, my surname is Lin, my name is Juan Yun, please don’t call me by the wrong name again.”

On this day, I was reading at the desk, and Linghua came over with a letter.

Just by looking at the handwriting on the cover, you can recognize that it is from Cao Yingshan.

I felt puzzled, but finally got a response from her. After hurriedly scraping off the paint, I took out the letter inside.

The first thing I saw was the deed of sale.

Cao Yingshan said in the letter that I once saved the life of Prince Yi, but I kept hiding such a big thing. She really convinced me. She also said that Xu didn't dare to say anything, but she was not very happy. She made a special trip. I asked someone to go to Yangzhou to investigate, and I gave up after it turned out to be true.

He also said, in the past when we were masters and servants, I grew up for her. Now that the prince has said that he will redeem me, I will be free from now on. But it is a pity that there are wars everywhere now and it is very chaotic, otherwise I would not be able to do it. I can go back to Beijing and have a few drinks with her.

She also said that people were in panic when going to the capital, and people were not allowed to go out unless they had important matters. She was bored in the house, and only hoped that the rehabilitated soldiers could defeat the rebels as soon as possible...

Rehabilitate soldiers... I looked at these words and couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you so fascinated?" Prince Yi walked in at some point and stood beside me watching.

I let him look at it twice, then slowly folded it in half, put the letter in the book, and said, "Princess Side sent me my deed of betrayal."

He listened and remained silent. After sitting on the couch, Fang said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Cao also sent me a letter from home."

I looked at him in amazement.

He chuckled lightly and said in a deep voice: "Shilang Cao praised me for not being afraid in the face of danger and for being unyielding. Even if my life was threatened, I never gave in and never insulted Daying Chao's face."

He lowered his eyes, curled his lips, and the smile disappeared before it took shape, and said, "Shilang Cao looks at me with admiration, respects and loves me, and is deeply proud of me."

It was obviously good news, but I suddenly felt depressed. He was obviously smiling, so why did I feel uncomfortable?

I didn't know why I felt such a dull feeling, so I reached out and opened the window a little, and found that snowflakes like crumbs had fallen outside at some point. I murmured, "It's snowing. I don't know what's going on outside?"
