He had a ruddy face and handsome features. The cold wind blew through him, and the smell of alcohol was so strong that even Lingli, who was standing far away, could smell it.
"You..." Lingli was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you leave?"
When she left just now, she saw him already on the carriage. Why is he here alone now
"You..." Lingli saw him suddenly walk over quickly, with a look on his face...seemingly a little desperate, so she subconsciously took a step back, "What do you want to do..."
Before he could utter the word "me", his lips were blocked by something hot, and with a rough, violent breath, it "bite" him from above in a crushing manner.
Lingli felt her mind go blank for a moment. She didn't know why she suddenly remembered what Liu Liu had shared about her first kiss with Xiao Tuo. She said that her brain was like a piece of wood and she suddenly couldn't think. At that time, she thought Liu Liu was exaggerating. What could be wrong
Isn't it just a kiss
"Focus!" His words were vague but filled with a fiery tone. Lingli came to her senses immediately and reached out to push him away.
However, Su Qing, who looked like a weak scholar before, had arms as hard as steel and couldn't move at all.
"Lingli, I want to marry you." After a long time, he let her go and stared at her fiercely before declaring.
Although this way of proposing marriage is very special, that is not the point. The point is that Lingli ran away.
After Lingli returned to the palace, she turned into the spinning top Lingli again.
She was busy going in and out. There was actually not much to do late at night, but she made a lot of use of her rag. She wiped the tables, chairs, screens, cabinets, drawers, dressing tables, carved wooden doors, railings, and finally even the stone benches and tables in the yard.
After wiping, she saw a few fallen leaves on the ground, so she picked up a big broom. Just as she was about to sweep the floor, the nanny came out to stop her.
"Oh, my dear girl, what's wrong with you today? Everyone is happy after coming back from the princess' wedding banquet, why are you in a bad mood? Tell Mammy if you are unhappy."
Lingli waved the broom to herself, "I'm not upset. I'm happy. I work because I'm happy. Mammy, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at the yard. There are fallen leaves all over the ground, and no one comes to sweep them. The servants are getting lazier. You, the housekeeper, need to discipline them."
She swept the dust like a broom. Mammy coughed and fanned her hands, "Where are the fallen leaves? Almost all the leaves have fallen. Please take care of the few leaves that are left."
She held Lingli's hand and said, "Let's go to Madam's room and have a drink. I'm really happy today. I want to tell you something happy so that you can be happy too."
"What are you so happy about?" Lingli was dragged inside by her and refused to let go of the broom.
"What a happy event." Nanny said with a smile.
When I entered the nanny's room, I saw a jar of wine on the table. The nanny lived in a separate room and no one was there to disturb her.
She picked up two cups, filled them up, and said happily, "Today I went to the Marquis's mansion for a banquet. I heard two imperial doctors who were invited to the wedding quietly discussing the princess's belly. They said it was very likely to be twins."
Lingli burst out laughing, "Mammy, how is this possible? That belly is not even half the size of Liuliu's, so it's twins?"
"He is the imperial physician and his words are accurate." The nanny glared at her unhappily.
"The imperial physician's medical skills are not as good as our princess's. If he can tell that it is twins with just one look, then he is not an imperial physician, but a god."
"Isn't there a saying that those who can treat others don't treat themselves?" The nanny snorted. "The princess's medical skills are excellent, but after all, she has no experience in childbirth. The imperial doctors have served in the palace for many years, diagnosed countless diseases, and read a lot of medical books. From the perspective of childbirth alone, they are the authority. It's fine if one imperial doctor says this, but if two imperial doctors say this, it will be credible. How can they talk nonsense like this without any basis in their hearts? They are imperial doctors and have status."
Lingli listened to her words. Although she felt that the imperial physician might not be accurate, her analysis was probably based on facts. However, she thought about it and shook her head, "I don't believe it. The princess's belly is too small. It is only slightly bulging now. If you don't know the inside story, you will just think she is fat and you can't tell that she is pregnant. If she is carrying twins in such a small belly, then won't the two children be as big as mice when they are born?"
"What do you know?" The nanny rolled her eyes at her. "It's only four months now, and there are still six months for the baby to grow. Just wait and see. If it's twins, the princess will definitely eat a lot. And the princess's physical condition was not good to begin with, and she didn't have long to recuperate. It's normal for the fetus to be thin. But as long as they eat and drink more slowly, the baby will be healthy and strong. Just wait and see the princess's belly turn into a big copper gong."
Because of the interesting topics, Lingli's attention was slowly drawn to it. She drank cup after cup with the nanny, and the conversation ranged from the princess's belly to Liuliu's belly and then to the princess's wedding tonight.
Finally, the nanny stopped talking and said, "The girls are getting married one by one. Lingli, you have to hurry up too. You are not a child anymore."
Lingli was suddenly discouraged.
She picked up the broom and said, "Go to sleep. Don't drink so much at your age and get sick. I'll continue sweeping the floor."
"You girl, you've talked for a long time, but you haven't told me what's on your mind." The nanny chased out and said.
"It's okay!" Lingli decided to change the yard to sweep and get rid of the nagging nanny.
"Nervous," Mammy said of her.
Lingli ran out, sweeping the sky and earth wildly, and dust rose up everywhere.
When Zi'an got up the next day, she saw that not even a leaf had fallen from the tree in the entire palace. She also heard the noise from last night. She was a light sleeper and wanted to get up, but was afraid of waking up Old Seven.
After sending Lao Qi out, Zi'an called Lingli over.
Seeing her pair of dark panda eyes, I knew she hadn't slept all night.
"After sweeping all night, this palace is very clean. We don't need to clean during the New Year." Zi'an glanced at her, then gulped down the goat milk brought by the nanny.
"Isn't it? I don't know what's wrong with him." The nanny laughed.
Lingli sat down and leaned on the table. "I'm not offended. It's just that it's too dirty to bear."
Seeing her like this, Zi'an waved to the nanny. The nanny understood and went out and closed the door.
Lingli was still lying on the table, looking depressed.
Zi'an pushed her wrist. "What's going on? Wu Yanzu rode your horse back last night. How did you get back?"
Lingli raised her head and said with a trembling heart, "I ran back."
"Run back?" Zi'an rubbed her eyes, "Does the inability to sleep have anything to do with running back?"
Lingli looked straight at Zian, "Princess, how did you feel when the prince kissed you for the first time?"
Zi'an exclaimed, "Why are you asking this? Did anyone kiss you?"
