She opened her mouth calmly: "When I saw you, I couldn't smile. Even if you forced me to laugh, it wouldn't be a genuine smile."
She turned around and continued on her way.
On the empty hillside, his voice was broken and painful: "I only want such a small reward, and you are not willing to give it?"
162 Let's Sing
Yu Linglong's footsteps stopped.
This time, she didn't turn around, but said without emotion: "If you are not his enemy, maybe I can promise you. But it's a pity..."
On the empty and cold hillside, her voice was like an echo in the valley, ethereal and cold.
"If you are against him, you are against me."
After saying these words, she didn't stay any longer and left resolutely.
There was cold air behind her, but there was no sound, she knew that Feng Xuanyuan hadn't followed.
It has to be said that it is becoming more and more difficult for her to understand what Feng Xuanyuan is doing, and sometimes she even thinks, is it true that the leader of the cult is acting so strangely? Even she couldn't guess what Feng Xuanyuan wanted.
The desolate stone mountain was completely silent, Yu Linglong walked into the room specially prepared for her, although two stoves had been added for her, they still couldn't stop the slightest chill from the walls.
Wrapping the quilt tightly around her body, she suddenly missed King Xu and his warm embrace.
Looking at the bright moon outside the small stone window, Yu Linglong sighed deeply.
It seems that this night is destined to be a sleepless night.
She didn't know that there was a "surprise" waiting for her in Xu Wang's mansion at this moment.
Early the next morning, Yu Linglong left for the capital.
Stepping through the frosty morning, Yu Linglong entered the palace, and just after entering the gate, Zhao Liandeng's family hurriedly greeted her.
"Princess, you are finally back. This servant has something important to report."
Seeing Zhao Liandeng's panic-stricken appearance, Yu Linglong stopped in her tracks: "What's the matter?"
Since being taught a lesson by Yu Linglong last time, Zhao Liandeng's speech was much more concise, and she immediately replied: "Yesterday, Princess Pingyang just came out, and Princess Pingyang came, and..."
She took a peek at Yu Linglong's face, and said in a low voice: "...and two singers are also sent here."
Zhao Liandeng's family was very afraid of Yu Linglong. From the very first time they met, she knew that this princess was definitely not someone to be trifled with. She worked hard in front of the princess for more than half a year, not because she was innocently involved in this matter. .
The princess's attitude towards those singers and dancers in the palace in the past is well known, but now Princess Pingyang has sent a singer to the palace. Isn't this touching a tiger's ass
Unexpectedly, Yu Linglong didn't get furious when she heard this, she just hummed lightly and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Zhao Liandeng's family hurriedly replied: "The prince came back yesterday. He heard that the princess had gone out, so he went out too. According to the porter, he came back in the middle of the night and rested in the study."
That is to say, Xu Wang ignored these two singers.
A faint smile couldn't help showing on her face, Yu Linglong asked, "Where are those two people?"
Zhao Liandeng's family said in a low voice: "Slaves...slaves have arranged them in the north courtyard."
Yu Linglong snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You dare to take anyone into the house, what if they are assassins? You have ten heads, and you can't afford such a huge responsibility!"
Zhao Liandeng's family members were so frightened that they broke into cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "I know my mistake."
Yu Linglong glanced at Zhao Liandeng's family who was scared out of their wits, but didn't continue to scold her, just said: "Okay, tell them to go to my room."
She knew that this incident was no wonder that Zhao Liandeng's family sent people from Princess Pingyang, how dare she refuse to accept them as a servant? Besides, the status of this singer is not high or low. No matter how she arranges it, she will not be able to please her. Zhao Liandeng's family is also in a dilemma.
Forget it, only she can handle such a bad thing.
She doesn't care about Princess Pingyang and Princess Sun, if she dares to mess with her, she won't give the Heavenly King Laozi any face!
Hemerocallis and Hongxing waited for Yu Linglong to wash her face and change her clothes, then she heard the servant girl outside saying: "Report to the princess, singer Ruyan, Wanqing has arrived."
Yu Linglong sat in front of the dressing table and said, "Call them in."
When the two singers outside heard this sentence, their faces were overjoyed.
I have heard of Princess Xu's name a long time ago. Before the two of them came, they were already prepared to be left outside. Who knew that Princess Xu was so easy to talk, so they just asked them to go in.
The two hurried in, knelt on the ground obediently and saluted: "My concubine Ruyan (Wan Qing) greets the princess."
Facing the mirror, Yu Linglong carefully inserted a red emerald drop bead plum blossom hairpin, then slowly turned around and looked at the two people on the ground.
Swept by her cold gaze, Ru Yan and Wan Qing lowered their heads subconsciously, and lifted their hearts that had just been let go.
How can there be such a woman in the world, who is as gorgeous as peach blossoms in spring, but cold as ice and snow in the twelfth lunar month, before she can speak, just seeing her eyes makes people feel shy.
Yu Linglong looked at them, and the little unhappiness she had just disappeared suddenly. Is Princess Pingyang's head squeezed by the door, and she sent such a woman.
Ruyan was wearing a moon-white butterfly-pattern corset, revealing the Jinxi red bright flower tube top inside. The clothes were very elegant. It was too eye-catching, adding a lot of vulgarity to her elegant face.
Coupled with the pile of jasper hairpins on her head and the jade bracelet on her wrist, she made her whole person nondescript, red and green, as if she was afraid that she would not have enough status, all kinds of jewelry scrambled to pull on her body.
As for the Wan Qing next to her, she was wearing a sea-green veil of jade silk with heavy lotus petals. The clothes were very luxurious, but in this way, it looked like the lotus seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva was turned upside down and directly covered her head. This person She looked stiffer than a puppet, and it was really hard for her to kneel down in such clothes.
Seeing the uneasy look of the two of them, Yu Linglong held back her laughter and tried her best to make her voice sound unemotional: "Get up."
Hearing Wang Hao's voice was so calm, Ru Yan and Wan Qing were finally relieved and stood up neatly.
After receiving the tea from Qingmei, Yu Linglong rinsed her mouth and said, "How old are you?"
Ruyan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the princess, the concubine is eighteen years old."
Not to be outdone, Wan Qing replied, "My concubine is seventeen years old."
Yu Linglong nodded slightly, seventeen or eighteen years old, two or three years older than her, is Princess Pingyang demonstrating to herself? Laughing at her as just a fifteen-year-old kid
Yu Linglong said calmly, "What do you both know?"
Hearing Yu Linglong's question, Ruyan and Wanqing both had shocked expressions on their faces, and replied in a low voice: "The concubine can sing."
The princess should have known for a long time, the two of them are singers, but they still have to ask this question, does this mean to belittle them
Yu Linglong looked as if she just remembered: "Oh, yes, you are here to sing for the prince."
Ruyan and Wanqing are speechless, do they have to sing if they are divas? Is this princess too pure or too naive
Yu Linglong looked at the sky and said: "At this time, the prince should also get up, you two go to the study to serve, since you can only sing, you can sing outside the study, if the prince likes it, your luck will come."
Ru Yan and Wan Qing never expected that this princess would be so easy to talk to. Whose mistress didn't take strict precautions against people of their status and secretly trip her up? However, Concubine Xu agreed to let them serve the prince closely. Such a generous mistress is really rare!
The two were overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Yes, maidservant, thank you, Princess!"
Seeing the two go out happily, the smile Yu Linglong had held back for a long time finally came to her face.
thank me After today, you should gnash your teeth and curse me, right
She didn't sleep well on the mountain the night before, so Yu Linglong sent her out and fell asleep on the Concubine Xiang's couch under the window.
In a daze, she suddenly felt a little warmer around her, and her shoulders, which had been tired all night, also leaned on a firm embrace, and slowly relaxed.
Taking a comfortable breath, Yu Linglong didn't even open her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "Are you back?"
Slightly callused fingers brushed her delicate cheeks, and Xu Wang's deep voice was close at hand: "When did you come back, don't ask anyone to tell me?"
Yu Linglong opened her eyes pretending to be surprised, and looked into his deep eyes innocently: "I clearly sent someone to inform the prince? Those two singers, what are they called Yan and Qing, they didn't tell the prince?" ?"
Xu Wang was amused by her appearance, but stopped laughing for a moment, reached out and pinched her small chin, with a bit of bluff in his tone, and said in a deep voice: "Say, is it a good thing you did? Early in the morning Yes, tell people to sing under my window, it's so loud that people can't sleep!"
Yu Linglong pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth: "Huh? Doesn't the prince like it?"
Before the words were finished, he grabbed her slender waist and pinched her a few times as punishment, which made her painful and itchy, and she almost lost her breath from laughing.
"What do you like? You know that you are the only one in my heart, and you still make trouble on purpose. Tell me, should I punish you?"
Yu Linglong was hiding while laughing, but she couldn't break free when she was hugged by him, so she could only smile and say: "Okay, okay, I was wrong this time, please forgive me, my lord."
Only then did King Xu stop his hands, intentionally
