As soon as I returned home, a piece of news spread throughout the mansion.
——The prince brought back a beautiful lady!
Liu Huan was stunned when he saw Song Qingxue bringing people to Chunhui Garden.
"Princess, she..."
There is already a concubine and a princess in the mansion, why is there another one?
Liu Huan expressed that she was very worried about her position as a princess.
Song Qingxue saw through Liu Huan's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but laugh: "You are so foolish again. Pin'er is Lin Xian's wife who has not yet married. You can just call her Miss."
"Lord Lin's wife who has not yet married?" Liu Huan was a little surprised.
As far as he could remember, Lin Xian seemed to have never had any contact with women. How come when he followed the prince to rescue people from a flood, he ended up with such a beautiful unmarried woman?
Liu Huan thought for a moment, clapped his hands, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that a flood can really bring my wife here!"
Song Qingxue: “…”
Zhu Pin'er: "..."
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Qingxue reached out and tapped Liu Huan's forehead, scolding with a smile: "I told you to read less novels!"
"Hehe" Liu Huan laughed foolishly a few times, and then he felt relieved.
As long as they are not here to covet the prince, she can live in peace with them.
What's more, the princess seems to like this pretty girl very much.
Song Qingxue originally wanted to arrange Zhu Pin'er to live in the side room, but she thought that Mo Weixin still lived there. If she arranged her there, Mo Weixin might cause trouble for her.
It won't work to arrange it with Lin Xian either.
Lin Xian lived in the guards' dormitory, which was full of grown men. It would be inappropriate for her to live there.
After thinking it over again and again, she decided to arrange for Zhu Pin'er to stay by her side first.
After all, this little girl came to Beijing for the first time and was unfamiliar with the place. If she didn't have any acquaintances around her, it would be inconvenient for her to do anything.
Moreover, Zhu Pin'er is so beautiful. If she were placed somewhere else, I don’t know whether she would live to see the day when Lin Xian marries her.
However, can their marriage really succeed?
Song Qingxue couldn't help but doubt.
She sat in the yard, holding her chin with her hands and looking at Zhu Pin'er. She couldn't understand how such a beauty could fall for Lin Xian, a stupid guy!
Is he blind? Or is he doing something else?
If it was just because Lin Xian saved her that night, that would be too ridiculous!
But if you think about it carefully, Lin Xian seems to be quite handsome.
She suddenly remembered what she had seen while surfing the Internet.
In ancient times, there were two ways for women to deal with their saviors.
One is, if the benefactor is handsome, then you would say "I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you my body"; the other is if the benefactor is ugly, then you would say "I have no way to repay you for saving my life, so I will work like a slave for you in the next life".
Lin Xian’s appearance...should be considered in the first category, right?
The more Song Qingxue thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Pin'er, why do you like Lin Xian? He's dull-witted, not considerate, and can't make girls happy. What do you like about him?"
"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Pin'er actually thought about it seriously.
"Now that you put it that way, it seems like there really isn't anything about me that girls would like." This was the conclusion Zhu Pin'er came to after thinking about it for a while.
Upon hearing this, Song Qingxue opened her mouth to say something, but Zhu Pin'er snatched the phone away first.
"But I just like his honesty." Zhu Pin'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Princess, to be honest, I came from Qinfeng Pavilion."
"Kotofukan?"
Song Qingxue reacted for a moment before she remembered that there was a kind of entertainment venue in the Dongyue Dynasty that was only for people to listen to music and enjoy dancing. This kind of venue was collectively called Qinfeng Hall.
In the eyes of most people, the singing girls and dancers who performed in the Kotofuku-kan were prostitutes who pretended to be noble and were not respected.
When they first met, Zhu Pin'er was the cold and noble Yue Niang, so Song Qingxue did not associate her with this kind of profession.
"Well, I'm a dancer." Zhu Pin'er's expression was a little solemn. "People like us are never short of suitors. I've long been tired of hearing those glib words."
Zhu Pin'er said, took a deep breath, and then said: "I have never seen a man like Lin Xian, who is so stupid with his words. If I get closer to him, he is afraid of ruining my reputation."
“This is the first time I’ve met someone like this.”
After listening to her, Song Qingxue suddenly understood.
"Does Lin Xian know about these things?" After careful consideration, Song Qingxue asked this question.
If she really wanted to marry Lin Xian, she couldn't hide these things, otherwise it would easily cause problems.
"He doesn't know." Zhu Pin'er shook her head, "I don't dare tell him, I'm afraid he will despise me for being lowly."
"What are you talking about!" Song Qingxue said, "How can it be considered lowly to make a living by relying on skills?"
She didn't expect that Zhu Pin'er would use the word "lowly" to belittle herself.
What's wrong with playing the piano and dancing? In her era, those idol stars who played the piano and danced were very popular!
As long as it is a legitimate job and does not involve stealing or robbing, it cannot be said to be lowly.
Besides, ladies from noble families also learn to dance, and there are few princes and nobles who cannot play the piano.
Why is it that playing the piano and dancing is considered elegant for nobles, but it is considered lowly for common people to make a living by doing so?
"Don't say anything lowly, you used to be a moon lady, you are so noble!"
Zhu Pin'er couldn't help but laugh, "Princess, do you know why I became the Moon Lady this year?"
Song Qingxue replied: "Because you meet the selection requirements."
Zhu Pin'er shook her head and said, "Because three months ago, I accidentally knocked over the incense burner in the Moon Temple. Not long after that, a flood occurred in Xunnan, and everyone blamed me."
At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "The rope would break. In fact, they had planned it long ago. They were waiting for the rope to break before sinking me into the lake and letting me go to heaven to personally apologize to the Moon God."
"Princess, do you know that in the Xunnan area, the Moon God is in charge of the sky and water?"
At the end of her speech, her voice trembled a little.
Song Qingxue had indeed never heard of such a statement, and she broke out in cold sweats.
But she was somewhat unwilling to believe that those Xunnan people who looked so kind and lovely actually had such a dark side in their hearts.
But seeing Zhu Pin'er's sincere expression, she hesitated.
She thought for a moment and said, "Don't blame them, they are just..."
"They are just scared." Before Song Qingxue finished her words, Zhu Pin'er took the initiative to speak.
She only said softly: "I don't blame them. I know they just suffered too much because of the flood. They are just scared."
People are timid. They are used to placing their hopes on gods, but at the same time they are afraid of angering them.
Before the flood came, she did something that was enough to anger the gods, so everyone naturally blamed her for the disaster.
She had angered the gods, so people had to sacrifice her to them.
So when she knew all people's plans, she still chose to put on the snow-white moon-worshiping dress obediently, and then quietly waited for death to come.
But she didn't expect that Lin Xian actually saved her.
She had been living alone all her life, and actually didn't care about life or death at all. But the moment Lin Xian reached out his hand to her, she suddenly became concerned.
