Chapter 41 It’s really wishful thinking
Ling Chan's "make-up lessons" time was over, and she walked out of Chongwen Hall amid the teacher's praises.
The friends that Hongdou had just met had already left.
Nanny Qu was supposed to come and pick them up from the palace, but for some reason she hadn't arrived yet.
Ling Chan pulled Hongdou to hide in a corner, stretched her neck and looked around. There were not many guards on the Chongwen Hall side, but there were quite a few on the Zhaoyang Hall side.
"Hongdou, wait here for me. I have something to do."
Anko nodded timidly, "Yes, Miss, please be safe."
Ling Chan felt relieved when she saw that she didn't ask what was the matter and just told her to be careful.
He reached out and patted Anko's head, "Be good. If anyone finds you and asks me where I've been, just say I had a stomachache and went to the bathroom."
"Okay." Hongdou nodded obediently.
Ling Chan came out from the corner and climbed up the wall in a few steps.
In order to avoid being discovered by the guards at Zhaoyang Palace, she crouched down and almost stuck to the wall.
Relying on the sticky power of her feet, she quickly came to the corner of Chongwen Hall.
Like other palaces, there are also several small animals nailed here.
Ling Chan fought quickly and pulled out four little beasts.
The moment she jumped off the roof, she couldn't wait to land and slipped into the space.
After coming out, he nailed the little beast back...
Then return to the ground and find Hongdou who is hiding in the corner obediently.
"Miss, you're back." Hongdou stood up excitedly and picked up the book basket on the ground. "Madame Qu was here just now. She heard you were going to the toilet, so she went looking for you. Did you meet her?"
Ling Chan didn't see Aunt Qu, probably because she missed her while in the space.
"She told me to wait here."
The master and servant stood outside Chongwen Hall, waiting for Aunt Qu to go look for Ling Chan.
"Miss, I met the princess and the county lady's maids today, and they even gave me some melon seeds." Hongdou chattered non-stop about what happened today with Ling Chan.
She took out a handful of melon seeds from her purse, which she had left on purpose, and said, "Miss, you can try some too."
Perhaps it was because life with Ling Chan was too difficult before, and they were used to sharing with each other, so she wanted to share anything she had never eaten with the young lady.
Ling Chan was also willing to cooperate with her and took a melon seed and put it in her mouth.
Cantaloupe seeds are a bit like modern white melon seeds, but they are a little thinner and longer than white melon seeds. They are cooked and air-dried. They don’t have any special taste, but they are very fragrant. The more you chew them, the more fragrant they become, and you can’t stop eating them.
"Ling Chan?" I was happily cracking melon seeds when I suddenly heard an annoying voice.
Ling Chan looked over when she heard the voice. This was the first time she saw Xiao Yi, but in the original owner's memory, it was not the first time she saw him.
As the saying goes, a young girl is in love. Even the original owner, who suffered humiliation in the Ling Mansion, once fantasized about marrying Xiao Yi and leaving the Ling Mansion one day.
The original owner was full of expectations for Xiao Yi, but what she waited for in the end was his deep love for Ling Xueyao.
Even so, the original owner still found ways to secretly watch him from a distance.
But seeing Xiao Yi and Ling Xueyao together...she felt even more uncomfortable...
"You're eating melon seeds here?" Xiao Yi looked at the small piece of melon seed shell on the ground in front of them in disbelief.
"Ling Chan, do you think this is the street and you are a bitch on the street?"
Ling Chan sighed helplessly, threw the melon seed shells she had just cracked on the ground, and said lazily, "Prince Huai is so nosy?"
"Why can't I do anything about it?" Xiao Yi glared at her fiercely. He was furious when he thought that the person he was engaged to was actually this skinny woman in front of him.
"Prince Huai is so nosy... Could it be that those carts collecting sewage in the capital passed by Prince Huai's mansion, and Prince Huai also wanted to taste the saltiness?" Ling Chan raised an eyebrow, but said something shocking.
Hongdou let out a giggle, then realized she shouldn't laugh and tried to cover her mouth.
"Ling Chan! You!" Xiao Yi raised his hand and pointed at Ling Chan angrily.
Ling Chan subconsciously raised her hand and slapped his fingers away. "This princess doesn't like people pointing at me. If you do it again, I'll chop your hand off."
"You!" Xiao Yi looked at his hand in surprise. When Ling Chan pushed him away, he felt his arm go numb.
Remembering that Yao'er said Ling Chan had learned kung fu... Xiao Yi suddenly wanted to try her kung fu.
So he suddenly punched Ling Chan.
Hongdou had been learning Kung Fu for a while. When she saw Xiao Yi punching Ling Chan, she immediately put down the book basket and prepared to fight back.
Who knew that Ling Chan pulled her back and dodged Xiao Yi's fist.
At the same time, he raised his leg and swept towards Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi subconsciously dodged, but when he turned around, a sharp knife was already against his neck.
Looking up along the sharp knife, I saw a pair of pink embroidered shoes. Isn’t the owner of the embroidered shoes Ling Chan?
Ling Chan placed her foot directly on Xiao Yi's neck, standing steadily on her other leg.
Hongdou was stopped by Lingchan and swallowed hard. She wanted to remind her mistress that she had learned from Yundou and the others that it was best for women to walk slowly and not show their embroidered shoes.
What the lady did, putting the embroidered shoes directly around the man's neck... is even more unacceptable.
Xiao Yi is now... very scared, because the sharp knife is too close to his Adam's apple, and he may be cut even if he swallows.
"Ling Chan." But even so, he still wanted to tell Ling Chan his thoughts, "I can't possibly marry you."
Ling Chan snorted coldly, "You talk as if I'm willing to marry you."
"Really?" Xiao Yi smiled sarcastically, "If you really don't want to marry me, why are you so angry?"
Angry? Ling Chan looked at Xiao Yi as if he were a fool, "How can you tell that I'm angry?"
Xiao Yi looked at her and saw that she was not joking. She didn't want to marry him?
"Ling Chan, if you really don't want to marry me, then you should go and ask the Emperor to annul our engagement."
"Hmph." Ling Chan twitched the corner of her mouth, "You really wish for it."
"It was your royal family who granted the marriage, yet you want me to petition the Emperor to annul the engagement? What's going on? Are you planning to play the role of the abandoned party and let Ling Chan bear the stigma of being a heartless person?"
"And then King Huai and my sister will live together? King Huai has a really good idea..."
Ling Chan moved her feet, causing the sharp knife to draw an arc across Xiao Yi's chin, scaring Xiao Yi so much that he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Oh no." Madam Qu went to Chongwen Hall to look for Ling Chan, but couldn't find her after searching several toilets.
I thought of coming back to see if she had come back, but I didn't expect to see such an indecent scene of Ling Chan.
When Madam Qu came to Ling Chan's side, she could clearly see the tip of the knife on her embroidered shoes. She screamed even more sharply, "Ah, Princess, what are you doing? He is Prince Huai, you can't do this, quickly, quickly put it down."
