Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 113 Kite
The sun in early winter is like candlelight lit before night, always giving people inexplicable expectations and peace of mind.The warm sunlight hit Chu Yin's perfect side face, and a faint halo reflected his outline, which made Lin Zijiang stunned.

Xu felt that the sun was dazzling, Chu Yin frowned, turned his face slightly and said: "Such sunshine is really rare."

"That's right, it's been raining for several days in succession in the entire capital, and now I can finally bask in the sun and get rid of the mold." Lin Zijiang said, and opened his arms in enjoyment.

Contrary to her, Chu Yin looked worried, "The garrison of Zhucheng came to report that due to the heavy rain for several days, a serious landslide occurred on the left side of Zhendong Mountain. The accumulation of flowing soil and loose rocks like a hill blocked the most important part of the capital. The only road leading to the outside world is the three villages in the east. What's more serious is that the three villages that are trapped now have a shortage of food reserves. If the supplies are not delivered in time, I am afraid they will not survive for a few days."

"Since the situation is urgent, we must clear the road as quickly as possible." Speaking of this, Lin Zijiang also felt worried.In ancient times, there were no excavators, so how should the road be dredged.

"The only way is to re-open a road from the other side. But the other side happens to be within the scope of the emperor's meritorious deeds monument. There are thousands of merits accumulated by the emperor over the years of his enthronement, and there must be no damage."

"How unreasonable! The implication is that the emperor does not agree to open the way." Lin Zijiang couldn't help but said angrily, "The monument of merit and virtue is just a false name. Couldn't the lives of the three villagers compare with these false names?"

"In the face of natural disasters, the people should be the most important thing, but the emperor..." Chu Yin did not continue, but shook his head helplessly.

"So, my lord, you are so depressed because of this dispute with the emperor? Is there no one else in the court who thinks about the people and stands by your lord?"

Chu Yin glanced at Lin Zijiang, and sighed lightly: "So what if you have it, so what if you don't have it. Is there anyone else who can change what the emperor decides?"

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang also sighed: "Hearing what you said, it seems that there is no room for negotiation with the emperor. You have done your best, my lord, and you don't need to blame yourself too much. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, this is not you You can stop it on your own."

"Now so many innocent people are in dire straits. If I ignore it now, how can I feel at ease?"

Seeing Chu Yin's brows and eyes full of helplessness and pain when he spoke, Lin Zijiang's heart was also entangled.But she didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only sigh along with him.

Suddenly, several beautiful paper kites floating in the sky not far away fell into Lin Zijiang's sight.Let her suddenly come to inspiration: "Airdrop!"

She turned her head to Chu Yin with joy and said, "Maybe... there is a way to get the best of both worlds."

"What?" Chu Yin didn't understand her words.

"follow me."

Before the sound fell, Lin Zijiang couldn't wait to run towards the direction where the kite was flying.Seeing her excited back, Chu Yin blinked blankly.

Finally found a place to fly the kite, it turned out to be the Qing Palace where the palace people lived.

Not far away, several playful maids were startled when they saw Chu Yin and Lin Zijiang approaching.

"See you, my lord." The maids saluted Chu Yin in a charming tone, and all of them blushed at the same time.

Now Lin Zijiang completely believed the ranking that Xiao Lingzi said, it seems that Chu Yin is really a maid assassin.

"This is Princess Yue." Chu Yue introduced to them.

Because Lin Zijiang has only been around the palace for a few days, many palace people don't know her yet.

Hearing this, the palace maidens looked rather surprised, and quickly saluted Lin Zijiang: "See Princess Yue."

At the same time, the people who lowered their heads couldn't help secretly raising their eyes to look at Lin Zijiang.

In the usually boring palace, Lin Zijiang's name has already spread, and many servants in the palace are extremely curious about her.After all, those who can stand Yue Wang are not ordinary women.In addition, Lin Zijiang performed a stunning dance at the birthday banquet, which is still talked about by the palace people after dinner, and she even became the idol of many palace ladies because of this.

"There's no need to be too polite. Well... I want to ask, among the kites you flew just now, who owns the biggest kite?" Lin Zijiang asked.

Hearing this, the ladies in the palace looked at each other nervously.

Immediately, one of the maids with a mole on the tip of her nose took a step forward, and said in a trembling voice, "Return...return to the princess, it was done by the maid."

Seeing that she seemed to be frightened by his own, Lin Zijiang explained: "Don't be afraid, I have no other intentions. I just want to ask if you can lend me your kite?"

Hearing this, the court lady was slightly taken aback, then nodded heavily again.She turned around and took the butterfly kite, which was as tall as a person, and presented it with her hands like offering treasures.

Seeing it, Lin Zijiang immediately took it over happily: "Thank you, I'll return it to you when I'm done using it."

"No need, just give it to the concubine. It's rare that the concubine can see the paper kite of the servant. This is the blessing of the servant for several generations." The maid said with a smile.

Seeing what she said, Lin Zijiang could only say: "Alright then. Thank you."

After finishing speaking, she waved the kite in front of Chu Yin contentedly: "Let's go. Let's do an experiment, maybe we can help a little."

Although Chu Yin didn't understand what she meant, he still smiled softly, and then followed her footsteps.

Seeing the two walking away, the maids immediately started gossip mode.

"You said... how could King Yin be with Princess Yue?"

"I saw that the prince's eyes were very gentle when he looked at Princess Yue just now. I think there seems to be something wrong between them...."

"Don't be jealous, the prince is very gentle to everyone, even us servants are the same."

"That's right, the prince is such a modest gentleman."

"Hey, but why did you present the paper kite to Princess Yue with such a flattering face just now? Are you trying to curry favor with her?"

"Who wants to please her. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Ouch. You're still angry. Who doesn't know you, I think you just want to impress the prince. Your scheming is too deep."

……

Lin Zijiang did not slow down until he was far away from the Suqing Palace.It wasn't until she came to a garden where she confirmed that there were no palace people, that she felt relieved and stood still.

Lin Zijiang curled his lips in distress, and Lin Zijiang couldn't help feeling annoyed in his heart.Hey, she actually appeared in front of those court ladies with Chu Yin just now, she was really careless.What if Chu Yin is affected by gossip because of this.What if it reaches Chu Yue's ears?

"What do you need such a big paper kite for?"

"I want to use it to help you achieve your wish." Lin Zijiang replied.Chu Yin's question pulled her back from the entanglement, that's right, let's settle the matter in front of her first.

"Help me hold it."

Lin Zijiang handed the kite to Chu Yin, and knelt down to pick up a few mud-stained stones, wrapped them up and wrapped them around the kite.

"Stand here and help me lift the kite. I'll go and see if I can fly it."

After that, she pulled the string and ran away. To fly such a big kite, the natural speed must be fast.

"My lord, let go now." Lin Zijiang saw the timing, and shouted while running.

But to her disappointment, as soon as Chu Yin let go, the kite ruthlessly fell to the ground.

"No way." Lin Zijiang turned his head and saw the kite lying on the ground, and sighed softly.

But she was not discouraged, and quickly retracted the line, and she began to halve the stones tied to the kite.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Yin couldn't help asking.

"I want to test how much weight a kite of this size can bear. Then I can calculate how big a kite is needed to carry the food," Lin Zijiang explained.

Hearing this, Chu Yin seemed to understand: "You mean to use kites to transport supplies to the three trapped villages? But is this... possible?"
