He seemed to have come to the right place this time. He met a nice little thing who always aroused his interest. Even though she was baring her teeth and claws like a little lion in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, she was really sincere about the two girls beside her.
Well, not to mention how much they spent on food and clothing, just the fact that the three of them ate at the same table was enough to surprise him.
The man took a bite of the white jade fruit he had picked up from a sheep in the inner room, and continued to listen to what was going on underneath, secretly anticipating in his heart what tricks this little woman would play.
"Quiet, let the mother-in-law bring the bathtub in, and then you can go and have a rest."
After a moment of silence, Ling Zihan's voice suddenly reached his ears, and the gentleman almost fell off his head. Well, his luck was really not that good. On the first day, he was given a beauty bathing performance?
Seeing that the bathtub was brought in, the screen was set up, and the maid who was serving put down her change of clothes and bath spices and walked out of the room. Ling Zihan slowly picked up the snow-white gardenia petals and sprinkled them into the water. The warm water temperature stimulated the petals.
The sweet and warm scent filled the room instantly. Ling Zihan put her hair up, fixed it with a hairpin, lowered her head, untied the chest strap with a gentle and elegant movement, and took off her crimson blouse.
The thin brocade robe with thin sleeves reveals the snow satin middle coat and the large expanse of snow-white skin on the shoulders.
The young man on the beam closed his eyes subconsciously. Although he didn't think he was a good person, he didn't bother to do anything to ruin the reputation of a girl's family.
Hearing the sound of her sinking into the water, the man in purple hurriedly opened his eyes, quietly left the room that made his whole body steaming, and squatted on the roof...
In the middle of the night, Ling Zihan wore a black dress and, under the cover of secret guards, arrived at Wutong Garden far away from the main courtyard without any hindrance. The maid named Bai Ying was waiting for her behind the door.
"Miss Third, come in quickly!" Bai Ying waved as if she was anxious. After Ling Zihan entered, she stuck her head out and looked around, then closed the door with a sigh of relief. She raised her eyes and looked again.
When she came to Ling Zihan, her face became more respectful, and she gestured towards her, and said politely: "Miss Third, come with me. The second lady is waiting for you in the teahouse in the backyard."
Nodding, Ling Zihan followed Bai Ying and walked on the corridor paved with green bricks. She raised her eyes and took a deep look at Bai Ying's back. She hadn't noticed it during the day, but at this glance, she suddenly discovered that Bai Ying's graceful figure was
The figure on the back looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I’d seen it before.
Unintentional scenery, Ling Zihan tried hard to recall the figure from behind, until Bai Ying's voice came quietly.
"Miss Third, look this way as you enter, there is a tea room on the left."
Ling Zihan glanced at the well-behaved and gentle Bai Ying again, made a simple nasal noise, and left in the direction she pointed.
Passing through the Pisces arch door leading to the backyard, Ling Zihan walked toward a little light hidden in the apricot blossom forest on the left.
It was a unique wooden house, with the door ajar and the aroma of tea wafting out of it.
Opening the door, a woman wearing a phoenix-tail skirt with a butterfly and a hundred flowers smoke and a blue cloud-patterned brocade coat stood with her back to her. Dark clouds covered her temples, and her high bun was dotted with red emerald drops.
The beaded crest and golden steps were swaying. As she turned around slowly, the hem of her skirt swayed, and the swaying pearls and emeralds dazzled people's eyes, making her dazzling.
Ling Zihan was startled, her startled demonic eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an evil smile to hide the shock in her heart, as she looked up and down at the woman in front of her.
She has an apricot face and peach cheeks, a willow slender waist, a pair of affectionate eyebrows like distant mountains, and a face as beautiful as a begonia in the drunken sun. She is no less than a fairy from the Nine Heavens. In addition to the charm of a woman, her every frown and smile also reveal the charm of a mature woman.
If she hadn't heard about it beforehand and the woman's eyes were different from hers, Ling Zihan would probably have thought that it was her mother who walked out of the painting.
Like, so similar!
"Are you surprised?" The second lady's soft and charming voice brought Ling Zihan back to her senses instantly.
With a sneer on her lips, Ling Zihan looked away, walked to the seat opposite her and sat down, picked up the untouched cup of tea and smelled it, "Second Madam, sit down and talk!"
"You and Mingzhu are really similar, not just in the eyes, but also in temperament." The second lady did not sit down, but walked aside and took an exquisite rosewood box and placed it in front of her. "Open it and take a look.
look."
Hearing her calling her mother by her given name, Ling Zihan didn't hesitate at all. When the second lady sat down, she fluttered her sleeves and another unnoticed aroma quietly mixed into the fragrance of tea.
When she opened the box, she saw a jade arrow about three inches long, with a transparent shaft and a line of Beiyan words engraved on the arrow tail. A flash of surprise flashed in Ling Zihan's eyes, and she remembered that this thing belonged to her mother, Chu Mingzhu.
The wet nurse also has one as a keepsake.
"Why do you have this thing?" Ling Zihan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the relationship between the second lady who was rumored to be at odds with her mother and her mother.
"Your mother, my master, gave it to me. Everything I have is given to me by her, and you are my young master!" The noble lady suddenly left her chair and knelt in front of Ling Zihan and gave her a respectful gift.
He called Young Master respectfully, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Second Madam, I can't completely believe you based on a jade arrow. However, since I'm here today, I just want to listen to the story. Sit down and talk!"
Ling Zihan looked at the woman in luxurious clothes, gave her a weak hand, and motioned her to go back and sit down. Her face was still calm, but the words that her wet nurse said before she left quickly flashed through her mind - in the Prime Minister's Mansion
Your enemies are your true friends.
Could it be that the "bad relationship" between the mother and the second wife that was rumored by the servants was just a cover to cover up... Thinking of this, Ling Zihan slowly raised her head and looked at the woman who had sat back in her seat in front of her, listening to her
He talked about what happened between himself and his mother.
She was a woman rescued by her mother from the gangsters. She later became her mother's substitute. Sixteen years ago, she voluntarily married the prime minister because she wanted to protect her mother's children.
Mengxian's identity. After entering the prime minister's house, she always opposed her mother, creating the illusion that the relationship between the two was bad, so that the concubines outside watched the two fighting, thinking that they could reap the benefits, so that the child could be born safely.
.
That child is Ling Zihan.
"... It was my mother's intention to send you away back then. She asked for the Imperial Master. As for why you were sent to Beiyan Tianshan, a bitter and cold place, I don't understand. But now that you are finally back, you are all
Master...your mother's wish." After a pause, the second lady seemed to suddenly remember something, approached Ling Zihan, and asked in a low voice, "That jade pendant..."
"Second Madam, why don't you tell me more about the Ling family? As you know, Zihan has just arrived and is still unfamiliar with this family." When the Second Madam mentioned the jade pendant, Ling Zihan's eyes flashed with disapproval.
He immediately interrupted her and avoided the topic, clearly refusing her to ask about the jade pendant.
The second lady immediately understood what Ling Zihan meant and did not ask any further questions.
"Then I will give you a few words of advice to the third young lady. There are many aunts and hearts in the prime minister's palace, but I am absolutely loyal to the young master!"
Hearing her change of title, Ling Zihan glanced at her with a raised eyebrow and a smile. She stood up and walked out the door. Before leaving, she left a message, "The fun is yet to come! Second Madam, it's getting late. Have a good rest and return tomorrow."
I want you to go to Su’s place and sing a show!"
