Chapter 34 Save the Child
Time flies, and a moon passes in a flash. The flowers and plants in the yard are growing more lushly, and the yard is still as quiet as usual.
Luo Wan'er hadn't seen Chu Ye for a month. Fortunately, after she taught the two maids who delivered the meal a lesson, the two maids became honest and obedient. They often bought some chicken, fish, meat, eggnog from outside, and never dared to tamper with her meal again, so she lived a pretty good life.
Every day, she ate and slept, and her face turned red and her body became more plump.
On that day, Luo Wan'er was playing Landlord with Xiaohe, and she heard the sound of the lock being opened.
"It's not time for dinner yet, who will come?"
The two looked out the door and saw a maid walking in and saying, "Princess, the Prime Minister sent someone to pick you up and said that your grandfather missed you and wanted to pick you up for a reunion dinner."
This is the first time they have picked her up for a reunion dinner in three years, so they have such a good heart.
Luo Wan'er didn't believe it at all. Just based on the attitude his father and the stepmother had towards her last time when she returned home, she knew that they were just using her as a pawn.
If Prime Minister Luo had a daughter, she would still be a little girl running in the countryside and would not have given her such good things.
"knew."
I happened to be so bored here that I just went out for some breath.
I also have to thank Prime Minister Luo for letting her go out and play.
Luo Wan'er put down the poker, she stood up and walked out with the maid.
On the way out of the house, she met Hongyan. Hongyan stood by the side of the road, wearing a red dress and a thick rouge applied to her face, as if she was waiting for her.
When he saw her coming, he showed a smile and nodded to her to express his greetings.
Luo Wan'er and Hongyan are not familiar with each other, and they have no interaction. I don't know why Hongyan wants to mess with her.
On weekdays, Hongyan has been singing and playing the piano in her yard, and rarely comes out. She just happened to meet her today, so she must ask her.
"Miss Hongyan, do you dress so well every day?"
Hongyan replied: "The princess dresses in plain clothes, but you are naturally beautiful and look good without dressing up. She is not as good as my appearance as Pu Liu. If you don't dress up deliberately, you're afraid you won't come out to meet people."
Luo Wan'er raised her eyebrows, surprised that Hongyan was quite good at talking. She didn't want to waste time with Hongyan anymore. She said straight to the point: "Hongyan, you are just an actor. I am not familiar with you normally, so I have never offended you, right? Why can't you get along with me?"
"Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Hongyan was very calm and composed. She had known for the two maids being punished by Luo Wan'er, but so what? She hadn't taken Luo Wan'er seriously yet. She only knew that Luo Wan'er was a very miserable woman, so miserable she didn't even think of Luo Wan'er as her opponent.
I want to be her opponent, but I am not worthy.
"Stop pretending, I know everything."
Hongyan picked a flower from the flowers on the side of the road, and put the flower in her hair with her fingers raised orchids. Her facial features were delicate, her skin was as white as cream, her temperament was very elegant, and her figure was tall. When she smiled, she was as pleasing to the eyes as flowers on the branches.
"Princess, I heard that your temperament has changed drastically since you got a serious illness. As for women, you should be gentle and sensible so that you can like men."
"What do you mean?"
Luo Wan'er was a little angry. This Hong Yan looked quite polite, but she was hiding her words.
"I have nothing to do. I just happened to pass by here and picked a flower I like. How could the princess have accused of being a low-ranking actor like me?"
Luo Wan'er was ready to move at any time, but after hearing Hongyan's words, she felt that if she was in trouble with Hongyan, she seemed to look like an unreasonable shrew.
"A actor, who can give you the confidence to talk to me like this?"
"You will know this after asking Prime Minister Luo."
Hongyan smiled mysteriously and turned around and left.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll know after I tell you."
Hongyan twisted Yingying's slender waist and left. She was like a woman walking out of the painting, floating like a fairy, not in the world, beautiful and grand.
Luo Wan'er saw Hong Yan walking away, and she thought to herself: "What's the relationship between her and my father? It seems that there must be something big about going back this time."
When she and Xiaohe arrived at the gate of the palace, there was already a carriage waiting for her outside the door, which was the carriage sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick her up.
When the coachman saw Luo Wan'er, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Princess, come up quickly, I will pick you up by the order of the master."
Will he be so kind?
Luo Wan'er sneer smiled. She knew that it was unusual for her to return home this time, and she didn't know what tricks he was playing again.
Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she saw Ling Yan and a noble woman walking over, and a young boy dressed in noble clothes was next to the woman.
The child was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand and ate while walking.
Luo Wan'er didn't know the woman, so she stepped on a small stool and got on the carriage.
The woman and Ling Yan were joking while walking. When the two of them were holding hands, they walked to the carriage, the woman deliberately raised her voice and said, "Sister Ling Yan, you will be my eighth brother's concubine in the future. Concubine Chun has already mentioned this to my father. Just wait for my father's condition to improve, and you will get married.
Think about the handsome man of my eighth brother, only you can match him. The other women are either ugly or crazy. I really feel sorry for my eighth brother, and my life is really hard."
"The third princess, compared to the princess, she is like the pearl in the sky, and I am like the grass on the ground. I still like her very much. I think she is kind and treats me very well. Look at the pearl hairpin I wear on my head, which she gave me."
Ling Yan said this on purpose just to make people feel that she is kind and generous, not like the crazy princess who cares about her.
"Sister Ling Yan, I like you so much. I always think about her so much. Sometimes when I hear you speak, I feel a little ashamed. If everyone is like you, then my eighth prince won't have to have a bitter face every day."
The third princess Chu He held Ling Yan's hand. She had long heard all kinds of rumors about Luo Wan'er, such as being extremely ugly before, but now she is irritable, making the prince's mansion uneasy, making Chu Ye uneasy. She just listened to the rumors, and annoyed the Eighth Princess to death.
"Three Princess, you always praise me, and I feel embarrassed to praise you."
Ling Yan lowered his head and smiled proudly.
Luo Wan'er was listening to their words in the carriage. She knew that Luo He was telling her on purpose, and she was too lazy to pay attention to them. Just as she was about to ask the coachman to leave quickly, she heard Luo He, who was still arrogant just now, screaming in surprise.
"Qi'er, what's wrong with you?"
I saw Li Qi, who was still alive just now, was covering his throat with pain with his hands. His mouth was big, as if the fish that had left the water could not breathe the air, and his whole face was also red.
"Three Princess, did the little boy choke on the candied haws?"
Ling Yan reminded.
