Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 194 Looking forward to return (2)
"You—" King Zhongyi was about to get angry, but at this moment, Pan Gui, who had been silent all this time, raised his head.Only then did Ling Xihan see her face.

The eyebrows are like emerald feathers, the muscles are like white snow, the waist is like a beam, and the teeth are like braided shells.Clouds and mist surround the temples, fragrant cheeks are piled with snow, beautiful and elegant, delicate and beautiful.Those eyes are like green springs and clear streams, with gurgling streams flowing in them, they are extraordinarily beautiful and light.There is a bit of bookishness between the brows, which can be faintly seen as arrogance.

Ling Xihan's eyes lit up, and she felt that this woman was extremely elegant, with a natural charm, not comparable to ordinary ladies.

She looked at King Zhongyi neither humble nor overbearing, and she was calm about the elite and persecution in his eyes.Opening her vermilion lips lightly, her voice is as light as a white cloud, but as sweet as an oriole.

"The prince doesn't need to be harsh on the son. I hope that she is a prostitute. Fortunately, the son has pity on me and saved the little girl from the sea of ​​suffering. The little girl is very grateful. If the prince and the son are at odds because of this body, that is Pangui’s sin is wrong. Although the little girl is not a wealthy person, her mother taught her when she was young that she should be repaid with a spring of water for the kindness of a drop of water. The son has helped Pangui too much, and Pangui is so grateful that he dare not be tired anymore. The prince's house is restless, so let's leave now." She said that she wanted to stand up, but Ling Hong grabbed her sleeve.

"Looking forward, no." There was a hint of worry and disapproval in his eyes.

Ling Xihan raised her eyebrows. This woman's words were calm and unhurried, her language was clear and well-organized, and she was obviously educated.And she is respectful but not humble, humble but not obsequious.Such a woman, to be honest, she admired it very much.

King Zhongyi also seemed to be a little surprised and appreciative of Pangui's speech and behavior, the coldness in his eyes was a little less, and his expression was still not very good.

"That's all." He waved his hand, "Since Hong'er has brought you back, if you leave again, I'm afraid others will think that this king is an unreasonable person." He pondered for a while, and said: "This king Seeing that your conversation is extraordinary, you must be born as a lady of everyone, why did you fall into prostitution?"

Pan Gui's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and there was a slight mockery in them.

"My mother died early and had no money to bury her. In order to repay her kindness, she fell into prostitution."

King Loyalty frowned. This woman was obviously avoiding the important and neglecting the important in her speech, as if she didn't want others to mention her life experience. Why?

The princess next to her sighed, "You are also a poor person." She looked at Pangui, "Do you still have relatives alive?"

Pan Gui pursed his lips, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Ling Hong said: "Father, Pan Guiben is the daughter of a good family. It was only because of bad luck that she was reduced to a brothel. She still has her father and brother alive. This time she came to Beijing to find her father and brother, so that the family can be reunited."

"Oh?" King Zhongyi raised his eyebrows and leaned back. "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" His voice sounded calm, but there was persecution and depression deep in his black eyes.

Ling Hong felt awe in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.

King Loyalty picked up the Hetian Baiyu Cup unhurriedly, took a sip of the Junshan Silver Needle, and said slowly, "This King has asked someone to investigate your origin, and I believe there will be results soon." Not surprisingly Seeing that Pangui's indifferent face broke instantly, his white teeth bit his lips tightly, and his eyes struggled to reveal a trace of pain.

"Tell me, if you really have any grievances or difficulties, this king will naturally not embarrass you." His meaning is obvious, if Pan Gui really has any grievances, then he will naturally make the decision for her.But if Pan Gui has any bad intentions, then he will not be polite.

"Father—" Ling Hong seemed to want to say something, but was stared back by King Zhongyi's cold eyes.

Pan Gui's lips turned pale, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"My father and the prince are old acquaintances." She paused for a moment, glanced at the people in the hall, and said, "Can the prince back away?"

Zhongyi Wang Ningmei thought for a while and stood up.

"Han'er, Hong'er, bring this girl to the study." He walked out first after speaking.

Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows, and followed the women in the room with different gazes.

In the study

King Zhongyi sat on top, Ling Hong and Ling Xihan sat under his left hand, and Pangui stood quietly in the center.

"Tell me, who are you?" King Zhongyi asked in a deep voice.

Pangui glanced sideways at Ling Xihan, as if hesitating.

Seeing this, Ling Hong said: "Pangui, tell me, maybe Han'er can help you." He naturally knew what Pangui was concerned about, so he took the lead in helping her out.

"Yes." Pangui nodded slightly, gathering his thoughts.He looked up at King Zhongyi, his eyes were as clear as water.

"The little girl's surname is Qiao, and her name is Pangui."

"Joe?" King Zhongyi's pupils shrank, his eyes were as sharp as lightning. "Who is your mother?" He had already vaguely guessed the woman's life experience, no wonder he thought she looked a little familiar when he saw her for the first time, so...

Ling Xihan was also slightly surprised, looked at Pangui, but said nothing.

When mentioning his mother, Pan Gui looked a little sad.

"My mother, Mrs. Yu, is from Yunzhou. She was originally a lady from a famous family, but her family has fallen and she is fostered by relatives."

By this time, Ling Xihan was almost [-]% sure of Pangui's life experience.She was a little shocked and even more incredible.She actually is—

"You—" King Zhongyi also had shocking clarity in his eyes.

"That's right." Pangui smiled slightly, just like the fragrance of peonies. "My father is Qiao Jinshi, the Marquis of Pingyang who was demoted the day before yesterday. Today's Marquis of Pingyang is the elder brother of the little girl's mother and compatriots." When she said this, her eyes were slightly sad and self-deprecating.

King Zhongyi calmed down the unrest in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Pangui smiled softly, "When my mother was divorced, she felt that her face was shameful, so she returned to her hometown in Yunzhou and made a living by weaving. 18 years ago, Qingzhou rebelled. My father accompanied my grandfather to fight on the battlefield. When he came back, he passed through Yunzhou. I happened to meet my mother..." She lowered her head, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was not sure whether it was ironic or self-deprecating.

"At that time, the emperor had passed away, and my father wanted to take my mother back to Beijing. But grandma has always disliked my mother. If she took her back rashly, I'm afraid it would cause trouble for the whole family." She took a deep breath and smiled ironically. . "In September of the same year, my father looked for an opportunity to come to Yunzhou again, and it took only seven days...Father promised to pick up my mother and return to Beijing. So my mother waited, kept waiting, and waited for several months, but when she came, she didn't know what to do. It's the news that the eldest princess is pregnant. And I in her womb has become a laughing stock."

Ling Xihan thought for a moment, Pangui really didn't look more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and so calculated, the age fits.

"What happened later?" King Zhongyi continued to ask.

"Later?" Pangui smiled sadly, "My mother conceived before marriage, so she was naturally not allowed in the world. Later, a member of the public saw her beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine. For the sake of me in the womb, my mother had to make a compromise and take her as a concubine. This It was only then that I came to Youzhou." She took a deep breath, her eyes were desolate and sad.
