That year, she stood by the corridor, holding on to the railing, looking up at King Lin, who was hanging high in the air on a tree trunk. His frail body shivering in the cold wind looked desolate and helpless.

At that time, she was petite and exquisite, and her delicate cheeks, as childish as the full moon, were half exquisite and translucent, and half delicate and pure.

"Which corner of the street are you a street rat from?"

Ji Panying's face showed an arrogant and disdainful look, and then the corners of her lips raised with full contempt.

"Logically speaking, I have to call you brother! What? Isn't it the first time we meet you, the brother, and you have to act out a scene of disowning your sister?"

Xia Lingyue said as she gradually walked out of the corridor, walked down the steps and walked towards the sycamore tree.

"Who are you? How come I have never seen you before? Since you call yourself my sister, you must be trying to build a relationship with me, right? Hehehehe! I have seen such smart people like you a long time ago! It's better not to come here.

good!"

King Ying waved his long sleeves, and the arrogant look on his face became more and more arrogant.

"How about that! It seems that you are also a cheerful person, brother, so I might as well tell you directly! Do you know King Xia?"

Xia Lingyue pretended to be mysterious, but there was no hint of timidity on her face, but King Ying next to her had been suspicious by nature since he was a child.

"King Xia?!!!"

Ji Panying was stunned when he heard the name, and then he pretended to be calm.

"So you are the rough maid in the Xiahou Mansion! Who am I to be?"

King Ying's expression became even more disdainful, and then he turned around and was about to ignore her.

"Hey... how about this! Brother..."

Xia Lingyue stared at Xiuzhi beside her, her eyes shining a bit mysteriously.

"What do you want? If nothing happens, just get up and drive away! Don't delay me in punishing this evil slave!"

King Ying waved his sleeves angrily, then turned around and looked at the eunuch next to him, about to signal him to continue what he had done before.

"Evil slave?!!!"

Xia Lingyue raised her head and took a look in the air. She only saw a man with disheveled hair covering his face, hanging in the middle of the sycamore tree, shivering from the cold. She thought to herself: Hey...it's not easy to be a slave.

!

"Either this! Brother, I see you have knitting on the floor. What a coincidence! I usually like to play with this at home, so why don't we come and play together for a while? What do you think?"

"Oh? Can't you tell? You are a girl who also likes to play knitting. If that's the case, then I will make it happen for you!"

King Ying said and sat down to the side again. He was a child after all, and his playful and competitive interests were suddenly rekindled.

"Hey...but brother, it would be a bit boring for us to just play like this!"

"Is it boring? Then what can you tell me is interesting?"

King Ying climbed on his legs, looking impatient.

"Okay! If I win, you can let the slave on the tree go! How about that?"

She tilted her head, her eyes sparkling like stars.

"That's it! Well, I promise you this! But what if you lose?"

King Ying hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, took out the weaving jars, and set up a formation.

"If I lose... Haha! Then I will be your slave!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

………………………………………………………………

"Well………………"

"No! From the day I saw you being humiliated by Yao Xianxiu, I have already secretly sworn in my heart that if one day you come back to Lin'er and me, I will never

I’ll forgive you!”

Xia Lingyue's words were so decisive that King Lin stared at her for a long time and had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

"If you really hate me so much, then so be it!"

A look of despair crept up King Lin's eyebrows, making his sharp lip lines look even more stern.

"Okay! Since you said so, then whatever you want!"

Little did she know that the indifferent expression on his face made Xia Lingyue feel relieved.

"Just follow me! Anyway, apart from falling in love with someone else, being in trouble and finally giving up, there's nothing wrong with you not to follow me!"

King Lin looked at her retreating back with a sly smile on his face.

"Hehehe... What a stupid woman!"

He secretly looked at Xia Lingyue's back. Although the words squeezed out between his lips and teeth were as light as gossamer, Xia Lingyue was slightly stunned.

But she quickly changed her mind and thought to herself: "Humph! If you want to repeat the old trick in front of me, your brain will be kicked by a donkey!"

Then, she continued to walk her own path.

"What a stupid worthless fool!"

Behind him, King Lin looked at her figure as she gradually disappeared around the corner of the palace corridor, and let out a wanton contempt between his lips and teeth.

"My dear concubine! Are you happy today?"

A sound like a silver bell came from the flower bed of the arch rockery. From a distance, it sounded like waves of clear laughter of women. The sound came from far and near.

"Yeah! It's really not bad! I've been in a really good mood for no reason lately!"

Another slightly older voice took over the conversation.

"The empress is eternally youthful and blessed with long life. Of course, this alone makes her noble and invincible! What else is there to worry about?"

"You! It's this mouth that makes people feel comfortable! What you say with this mouth really warms people's hearts!"

"Hahahahaha... Where are you? It's my concubine who is overestimating me."

"You girl......"

"Thank you very much for your many years of teaching, I am so grateful!......"

The master and servant became happier and happier as they talked, and couldn't help but burst out laughing...

"Princess, the food and wine you requested are here!"

Then Yunyao and Yingxu appeared from the corridor of the palace building, one behind the other, one carrying a rattan basket and the other carrying a table and chairs.

"Um?"

Yao Xianxiu was attracted by the two of them, and then stood up and looked at them blankly.

"Princess, you are here!"

Yun Yao walked towards this side, but the smile on her face looked a little embarrassed, while Ying Xu next to her was busy setting the table, pretending to be very busy.

"you………………"

She originally wanted to have a fit, but she glanced at Xia Ruyan next to her and endured it.

"You have to take good care of the Crown Princess here!"

She paused, then suddenly changed her stiff expression, her expression became soft and full of smiles.

She gently gave instructions to the two maids, but this made Yun Yao a little uncomfortable with it.

After all, whether Yao Xianxiu was the princess, the eldest lady, or the current Princess Lin that she had met before, people's impression of her was fixed on her as arrogant, domineering, old-fashioned, and resentful.

"Yes, it is inevitable to serve the Crown Princess well, but don't worry! It's not the turn of a bitch like you to teach us what to do here!"

"Let me go and I'll tell you!"

King Lin sighed helplessly and shrank his head deeper.

"Okay, tell me!"

Yao Xianxiu let go of her hands in a cool and unrestrained manner, looking like a grandma.

"no!"

King Lin's cold words seemed a bit cruel, but he also felt quite uncomfortable at this time.

Because of feelings of guilt, guilt, entanglement, etc., the messy and complicated emotions were like an overturned five-flavor bottle, condemning his heart in turn.

"Then...who is she?"
