She played with the two children in the garden all afternoon, letting them have some fun without any restraint.
Hanhan had a friend for the first time, and he took Beibei to play wildly in the yard. He reluctantly came back until it got dark.
Seeing that they were sweating profusely while playing, Xiao Lingyue was afraid that they would catch a cold, so she quickly urged the two little guys to go back to take a shower and change clothes.
Prince Yi's Mansion has a special bathing pool, which is large enough for two children to swim in it.
Han Han coquettishly wanted to take a bath with Bei Bei and refused to let the maid wait on her. Xiao Lingyue simply rolled up her sleeves and prepared to give them a bath herself.
Unexpectedly, the young prince, who was having a lot of fun just now, became so shy and coy again when Xiao Lingyue was taking off his clothes.
Her little face was flushed red and her big eyes were flickering, making her feel particularly embarrassed.
Xiao Lingyue pinched the tip of his nose in a funny way: "You already call me mother, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Next to him, Beibei was very calm. He calmly took off his clothes and soaked in the warm water.
When he was sick and weak, Xiao Lingyue would bathe and change clothes for him. He had long been used to it and was not shy at all.
Hanhan had no such experience, and was embarrassed to take off her clothes: "Um, mother...men and women are not allowed to be intimate..."
Oh, this little guy knows a lot.
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows: "Then when you pestered me to sleep together, why didn't you tell me whether men and women should have sex or not?"
Hanhan's little face turned red, and the top of his head was almost smoking.
He murmured: "That...that's different..."
You don’t have to take off your clothes to sleep, and Beibei sleeps with him too.
"It's nothing different. Go in and soak quickly. Don't catch a cold." Xiao Lingyue didn't argue with him. She directly carried the little guy over, took off his clothes and put him naked into the bathtub.
Hanhan didn't even have time to struggle, and he was completely naked.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it, and his white and tender little body shrank into a ball, his face flushed and soaked in the water: "Mother!"
"Stop screaming." Beibei was also soaking in the water and glanced at him angrily, "Take off all your clothes. There's nothing you can't see."
Hanhan was speechless and unable to refute for a moment.
The child's attention changed quickly. Hanhan tilted his head in confusion: "Beibei, why don't you take off your mask when you take a bath?"
Beibei froze and hadn't thought about how to answer.
Han Han quickly said: "Last time you said you had a rash on your face and you couldn't see the wind. Is it still not healed after wearing a mask for so long?"
"Well...it's not completely healed yet. It needs to be recuperated." Beibei said vaguely.
"Then why don't you take the medicine?" Han Han leaned over, as if he wanted to see the rash on his face through the gap in the mask, and muttered, "It's been so many days, why hasn't it healed? Isn't that right?
Are you taking the medicine too few times? How about I ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it?"
"No need." Beibei immediately refused, "I usually give medicine..."
"When?" Han Han's clear eyes were full of doubts: "Why have I never seen you take medicine? Could it be..."
Beibei suddenly felt nervous.
Hanhan wouldn't have guessed that he was deceiving him. In fact, there was no rash at all, right?
"Could it be that you think the rash is too ugly and you are hiding it from me on purpose?" Hanhan looked at him seriously.
North:"......"
Xiao Lingyue who was eavesdropping: "..."
Mother and son didn't know what to say.
Beibei said expressionlessly: "Yes, it's what you think."
"It's true!" Han Han believed it immediately, and then said: "Beibei, don't worry, even if you have a rash all over your face, I won't dislike you. You don't have to avoid me for medicine in the future, I promise
I’m not laughing at you!”
Beibei: "..." You just have a rash all over your face.
Xiao Lingyue knew clearly there was a misunderstanding, but she didn't explain it and looked at Beibei teasingly.
It means: You deceive people by yourself and find a way to solve it by yourself!
She will not interfere in matters between the two children.
Xiao Lingyue told them to soak in the bath for a while, then got up and went back to the room to get their things. When passing through the corridor, she heard two cleaning maids hiding in the corner talking.
Xiao Lingyue didn't care at first, but what the maids were talking about made her pause for a moment.
"Are you serious? There is a ghost in the palace garden?"
"It's true, more than one person heard it... There are screams in the garden every midnight, and the guards patrolling last night also heard it..."
"This, this is unlikely...could they have heard wrongly?"
"It's possible that one or two people heard it wrong, but now many people have heard it...it's really scary! I don't even dare to leave the garden..."
The two maids whispered to each other, with expressions on their faces full of fear and uneasiness.
Xiao Lingyue walked over curiously: "What are you discussing?"
"ah!!"
The two maids screamed in fright and dropped the tools in their hands.
They turned around in panic and saw Xiao Lingyue standing behind them, and immediately knelt on the ground: "I have seen Miss Shen..."
"Get up, I just heard you guys saying that the palace garden is haunted? What's going on?" Xiao Lingyue asked.
The two maids stood up with shivering faces, one of them bit her lip and said uneasily: "That's just slave talk, Miss Shen doesn't need to take it to heart..."
"Please tell me in detail, I won't tell anyone else." Xiao Lingyue knew what she was worried about as soon as she saw her nervous look.
Hauntings are relatively taboo, and the servants naturally dare not discuss them casually. If the news accidentally reaches the ears of the housekeeper, the two of them will definitely be punished.
"Shen Wan" was a guest of Prince Yi's Mansion again, so the two maids did not dare to talk nonsense.
Xiao Lingyue gently comforted her with a few words, and then the two maids spoke tremblingly: "I heard from the servant who kept watch at night that in the garden to the west of the palace, there would be faint screams every midnight.
But when someone went over to check, no one could be seen, which had happened many times. The slaves felt scared, so they secretly discussed a few words..."
Xiao Lingyue asked doubtfully: "Is that all there is?"
"No, it's not just that. I heard that someone saw blood on the grass in the garden before... and there were some strange drag marks that even alarmed the housekeeper. But the housekeeper didn't say anything and just asked someone to clean it up.
It’s clean, and the servants in the mansion are not allowed to go near the garden in the middle of the night.”
The maid said honestly.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "When did this happen?"
The maid thought for a while: "I heard it started the year before last, and then disappeared inexplicably, but it seems to have happened again recently."
Xiao Lingyue vaguely guessed what was going on. She didn't ask any more questions and just asked the two maids to leave. Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
