Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 196: A Husband and Wife (1)
"This is a token of love that my father gave to my mother back then. When my mother died, she left this object as a token of recognition between father and daughter in the future."

King Loyalty narrowed his eyes slightly, "Put it away first, and make plans tomorrow." He thought for a while, and then said to Ling Xihan: "Han'er, this matter should not be made public, and you should restrain the servants of the courtyards in the mansion. , don't let them chew their tongues casually."

"Well, I know, Father."

After leaving the study, Ling Hong thanked Ling Xihan, "Han'er, I will trouble you with this matter."

"Brother is being polite when he says this. Brother and sister, why bother to thank you?" Ling Xihan smiled slightly, "Brother is tired from the journey, so let's go back and rest. As for Miss Pangui." She looked at the silent Pangui beside her, and said : "I will take good care of her. I will never let her be wronged in the palace. Don't worry, big brother."

"En." Ling Hong nodded, and then said to Pangui: "Pangui, you stay with Han'er, don't worry about anything else."

Pan Gui bowed to Ling Hong and Ling Xihan, "I hope to thank the eldest son and the princess for saving me, and I will definitely repay you with a knot in the future."

Ling Xihan smiled, "It doesn't need to be so serious, let me tell you the truth, I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but it's rare that I like you."

Pan Gui was taken aback, Ling Xihan smiled, and said while walking: "Perhaps you have heard about it, I and your half-brother...well, who is older, you or Qiao Yingxia?"

Pan Gui frowned, "Pan Gui's birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month."

"The seventh day of July?" Ling Xihan paused, the corners of his mouth raised. "It's time for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet on the magpie bridge." Although this era does not correspond to Chinese history, many myths and legends have not been missed.

Pan Gui smiled when he heard the words, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"That's right, father and mother separated on the seventh day of their reunion. And my birthday is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. How can we not say that this is not God's arrangement?"

Ling Xihan raised her eyebrows, she was already an atheist.Hearing Pangui's words, she subconsciously wanted to refute.But thinking that her soul can fall into another world, how can An Neng know that there are really no gods and ghosts in this world?
At that moment, she changed the topic, "Well, then it looks like you are older than Qiao Yingxia. Hehe... Your half-sister is really a savage young lady. I have had a grudge against her for a long time. You If she really returns to the Marquis of Pingyang, maybe she will treat you as a thorn in her side. As the saying goes, a friend is a friend if you have a common enemy. In this way, the two of us can be considered friends, don’t you think so?”

Pan Gui covered his lips and smiled, "I heard a lot of rumors about the princess on the way to Beijing with my son. I didn't expect the princess to be such a free and easy woman. It seems that the little girl is too pedantic."

Ling Xihan raised her eyebrows, turned around the corridor, and saw Ling Xiwan and royal blue peony in blue floral jacket with purple background, pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaves skirt, white jade hairpin with eight treasure clusters and emerald gold earrings. Wearing a gold sleeved jacket covered with flowers, a willow yellow embroidered oil-green twig pattern skirt, a chignon with red gold threaded rubies hanging obliquely, Ling Xiyun walked over with a smile in the spring breeze, listening to the red gold pendant heart earrings.

Ling Xihan stopped, these two women have been quiet for many days, what do they want to do today?
When the two came to the front, they glanced at Pan Gui intentionally or unintentionally, and then greeted Ling Xihan.

"Three sisters."

Ling Xihan looked at the two younger sisters with a half-smile, "I heard that Fifth Sister doesn't like to go out recently. It's snowing heavily recently, so why did she go out?"

Ling Xiyun's big and charming eyes sparkled playfully, and there was a glint of darkness at the bottom of her pupils.Don't like to go out?Isn't it because you were punished for confinement?
"Yes, the winter in Kyoto is long, covered with heavy snow, and it's cold outside. It's better to stay indoors and read a lot of books. But when I went out today, I saw the snow outside. This scenery is unique, so I asked Seventh Sister to look at the snow scenery together. .”

Ling Xihan smiled inexplicably, "It's good to look at the snow scene, but the snow is cold, and if you walk carelessly, you may fall down. The two sisters have been spoiled since they were young, so it's better to bring a few maids with you when you go out. It won’t be good if you fall down or catch the wind and cold.” She ignored the stiff faces of the two, and turned to tell the two maidservants behind them in willow-green silk jackets: “Remember to take good care of your master. , if something goes wrong, it will be assigned directly to Zhuangzi."

The two maids quickly responded, "Yes."

Ling Xiyun and Ling Xiwan secretly ground their teeth, but they couldn't attack.After the last time, Ling Xihan had replaced all the maids who were close to them.Now those who follow them are all maids bought outside.However, these maids have been specially trained by Ling Xihan, so they are not easy to buy.

Ling Xiwan suddenly glanced at Pangui, smiling very kindly.

"Third sister, are you going to send Miss Pangui out of the house?" Although she smiled very gently, Pangui still saw contempt and disdain in her eyes.

Ling Xiwan really looked down on Pangui, just because Pangui had stayed in the brothel for a few years.In her eyes, women who are reduced to brothels are all vile vixens.She is the Seventh Miss of the Zhongyi Prince's Mansion, with a noble status, so naturally she looks down on women like Pan Gui.

Pangui lowered his head, bit his lips with his white teeth, and did not speak.

Ling Xihan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "Pangui is my friend, and he has been living in Yunmengju from today. The two younger sisters are ladies of everyone, so don't mistake their identities and spread the word to make people laugh. "

Ling Xiwan choked suddenly, her face turned green and pale, and her fingernails hidden under the loose sleeves kept whirling.Beside, Ling Xiyun's eyes flashed, and he smiled innocently.

"So it's the third sister's friend. I mean why did the elder brother suddenly bring such a beautiful sister back, so that's how it is." She blinked, holding Pangui's hand innocently and innocently, rolling her big eyes Playful sparkle.

"Sister Pangui, I heard that you are from Youzhou, right?"

"Yes." Ling Xiyun suddenly treated her so warmly, which made Pangui a little uncomfortable.After all, she had stayed in the brothel for five years, and she was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, so her ability to observe words and emotions was naturally first-rate.Although Ling Xiyun looked innocent, she was also sensitive to the fact that this woman was not what she appeared to be.So she pulled out her hand calmly, and said indifferently: "The little girl was originally from Yunzhou, but she was reduced to Youzhou only because of a sudden change in her family circumstances."

A dark light flashed in Ling Xihan's eyes, a little angry, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Oh! That's it." She wanted to say something, but was interrupted lightly by Ling Xihan.

"If Fifth Sister wants to know the origin of Pangui, she will naturally have a chance in the future." Her eyes were gentle and her voice was light and pleasant.

"I heard that my fifth sister has been learning piano skills these days. Sister, I'm still worried about my sister's delicate hands. What if the strings cut my sister's hands? Plus it's cold, so don't freeze. That's good." She gestured to look at the fading snowflakes around her, and smiled very gently. "It's just right, the snow is about to stop now, my sister should hurry up and go back to practice the piano. The weather is like people's moods, good and bad. If there is a strong wind and heavy snow later, my sister is so weak, I'm afraid it will be true." It's going to catch the wind and cold. That's not good."
