Chapter 37 Using Your Own Identity
Since Aunt Qu had already stayed, she was no longer as panicked as before.
"How could that be?" Nanny Qu looked at Ling Chan lovingly. "Before, the princess was unwell and stayed at home for many years. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were so concerned about her that every year they had the palace servants prepare seasonal clothing and imperial jewelry for her..."
Ling Chan didn't say anything, but thought to herself, if she really cared about it, why would she send the wrong size?
Thinking of the chronic poison that the Queen Mother had given her, Ling Chan was actually quite confused.
When she was almost under house arrest in Ling Mansion by Ruan Yiyu for more than ten years, the empress dowager ignored her.
But as soon as she left Ling Mansion, the Queen Mother poisoned her.
The Queen Mother is so afraid of her coming out, it can't be just because she is afraid that she will marry King Huai, right?
After all, if he didn't want her to marry King Huai, he could just kill her early.
So it’s not that simple!
Although she doesn't know the key point yet, there is no need to rush. Since the Queen Mother has already taken action, the truth will surely come out one day.
"Hongdou, help me pack my study materials for tomorrow." Ling Chan didn't respond to Aunt Qu's words. "Lan Niang, go to the kitchen and get dinner."
The small kitchen has been rebuilt, but the stove still needs to dry for a while.
Seeing this, Aunt Qu cleaned up together with Hongdou.
Put a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone in the book basket, and then put a few enlightenment books in it.
Then you need to install the pen holder, pen holder, pen washer, ink bed, paperweight, water jug, etc.
Hongdou put these little things into the book basket, and then left an empty space in the corner of the basket.
Aunt Qu was about to move the paperweight over but was stopped by Hongdou.
"Leave it here and pack some snacks for the young lady tomorrow morning." Hongdou said with a smile, "You'll definitely get hungry easily if you study hard."
Nanny Qu couldn't help but glance at Hongdou. This little girl didn't have any rules, but she was very considerate towards her mistress. No wonder Princess Wanyue was so tolerant of her.
And when buying ready-made clothes today, the princess also specially bought a cloak for the little girl.
She said that Hongdou would accompany her to the palace to study in the future, and having a cloak would help her keep out the cold.
At that time, Aunt Qu was quite envious of Hongdou. She had served the empress dowager for decades, but the empress dowager had never cared about her as much as Ling Chan did.
Gong Lan brought the dinner and took an extra portion for Aunt Qu today.
As soon as dinner was put down, everyone was stunned.
Especially Hongdou, she hadn't seen such a simple dinner since Ling Chan came here.
Just porridge and pickles.
"These are all we have in the kitchen today. They said... General Ling ordered this." Gong Lan brought out the porridge and side dishes. "This is what the general, his wife, and the young lady and master are eating today."
Ling Chan picked up her chopsticks and said, "A general is in charge of the inner court affairs. No wonder he was demoted."
"I'll see how long they can hold out."
"Gong Lan, go buy some dishes tomorrow."
She had a box of golden beans, but she was worried that she couldn't afford to eat a few dishes.
"By the way, keep an eye on the others. If they go out to buy anything, remember to stop them."
The corners of Aunt Qu's mouth trembled. Is she really not shy about being shy about herself?
In the evening, there was white porridge and side dishes. The next day, there was still the same white porridge and side dishes, without even a pancake.
Ling Chan asked Hongdou and the others to have a few bites and then go out to buy something to eat.
So a few of them went out early...
Ling Yu was supposed to go to the Imperial College to study today, but at the moment he was acting like a spoiled brat in front of Ruan Yiyu.
"Mom, how can we eat this kind of food?" Ling Yu couldn't eat a single bite. "I want to eat date cakes, steamed buns, and drink bird's nest."
"How am I supposed to study if I eat all this? I'll be hungry in a short while."
"I'm not going to the Imperial College anymore. I'm not going anymore."
Ruan Yiyu coaxed softly, "Yu'er, be good, eat a little first. I'll buy you some date cake on the way to the Imperial College later, okay?"
Ling Yu actually didn't want to go to the Imperial College at all, "I don't want to, I don't want to study, Mom, I don't want to go..."
"No!" Ruan Yiyu didn't let him do what he wanted this time. "If you don't go, wait until your father comes home from court and see how he punishes you."
Ling Yu was afraid of Ling Rui, "Then, then mother, I want to eat date cake and steamed buns."
"Okay, as long as you go to the Imperial College, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat." Ruan Yiyu urged Ling Yu, "Hurry up, have some porridge first."
Ling Yu drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, picked up the school basket and ran out, "Mom, hurry up."
Ling Chan took everyone to have breakfast outside, and then only took Hongdou and Madam Qu into the palace, asking Gong Lan and Gong Yu to go back and keep an eye on the Ling Mansion.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Ling Chan got off the carriage, Hongdou followed with a basket of books, and Madam Qu went to the palace gate to explain the situation to the palace servants.
Hongdou was wearing the cloak that Ling Chan bought for her early yesterday morning. She didn't know that Ling Chan had specially modified the cloak.
This cloak can now regulate body temperature, resist damage, and has a positioning function. It can be tracked directly with monitoring glasses without entering the space.
Ling Chan took out something from her pocket. It was a red string with a jade pendant hanging from it.
Ling Chan took this jade bead from another hairpin given by the emperor, and then braided it with red string by herself.
This way it won't be too conspicuous.
The jade beads also have positioning functions, can be used for communication, and have an ultimate function, it is also a small bomb.
"Hongdou, the palace...is a complicated place. It's best not to trust anyone else except me."
"If there is no other way, remember what I said, wrap yourself in your cloak when you are in danger."
"If the situation is particularly dangerous, you will throw this jade bead heavily at the other side, then turn around and run. Do you understand?"
Hongdou seemed to understand, but she carefully memorized Lingchan's words in her heart, "Hongdou remembers it."
Ling Chan looked at her with some guilt, "Hongdou, I..."
Bringing Gong Lan or Gong Yu here might be safer, but then...how can the people in the dark take action?
"Miss." Hongdou grabbed Lingchan's hand, "I understand."
"As long as you need me, I'm willing to do it no matter how dangerous it is." She looked at Ling Chan with a firm gaze, "Don't worry, I'll keep your words in mind."
"And I also believe that the young lady will never put me in danger."
Ling Chan was very touched and pinched her slightly fleshy cheek, "My love for you is not in vain."
"Princess, you can enter the palace now." Nanny Qu came over.
"Let's go." Ling Chan took Hongdou's hand and walked into the palace together.
After sending the two to Chongwen Hall, Nanny Qu went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
She told Rong Ruxiang everything she saw in Ling Mansion in detail.
"She knows how to use her status. Isn't she just a princess? Does she want to control me?"
"Want to become Princess Huai? No way!"
"As long as I am here, she can forget about becoming Princess Huai!"
