Chapter 187 Bond
When Concubine Yu heard what the Third Princess said, her heart skipped a beat. She naturally didn't show any expression to the Third Princess's little face. She just said, "It was the servant who did something wrong that made Mother Concubine angry."
The third princess looked at Concubine Yu eagerly and said, "Will Mother be happy that Father is here?"
Concubine Yu felt a little pain in her heart and was speechless for a while. After a while, she said, "I am very happy that Min Ning is here."
The third princess looked at Concubine Yu. Although she was young, she was not stupid. On the contrary, she was quite smart, especially after the death of the second prince. At such a young age, she also knew what life and death meant. Xuanyuan Ling used to come often, but now he seldom came. Even when he came to see her, he would ask someone to bring her over to see her. She naturally saw that Concubine Yu was in a low mood.
She wants to make her mother happy.
Concubine Yu didn't know that her daughter had such thoughts. In her opinion, her daughter was still young after all. Even if she had some thoughts, children have a short memory and will forget them after a while. After all, they are still playful in their daily lives. In particular, she was hurt by her daughter's words and didn't want to think about this problem anymore, so she didn't take it to heart.
She took the third princess to eat her favorite snacks, and when she saw that she didn't mention the matter after a while, she thought she had forgotten it.
The third princess asked the nanny to take her away. On the way, she said to the nanny: "I will go to find my father now. He will come to see my mother. My mother will be happy, right?"
The nanny didn't dare to reply, so she could only tell the third princess: "The emperor is thinking about the princess, and he will come to see her in two days."
The third princess pouted and didn't quite believe it. Her father would ask someone to take her there from time to time, but her mother would be sad if she was alone.
She wanted to ask her father to come and see her mother.
But when she told the nanny about this, she always avoided the question. Although the third princess was young, she could see that the nanny didn't want her to look for Xuanyuan Ling. But to her, Xuanyuan Ling was her father, and he had always loved her. So what was wrong with her going to look for her father?
So the little third princess decided to go find him herself.
The third princess had such thoughts in her mind, but there were always people following her. After what happened to the second prince, Concubine Yu added several people to serve the third princess, for fear that something might happen to her.
Therefore, it was not easy for the third princess to go out alone, but she was smart. She first said that she was going out to play, and then instructed someone to do this and that, promising that the princess would stay put. In fact, she ran out by herself. When the servants came back and could not find any trace of the third princess, they realized that something was wrong and the third princess was missing.
The servants who were serving him all looked very unhappy; something had happened.
Chu Linglong didn't really want to go out for a walk, but she was not the type who could stay still. Life in the palace was too boring, so she always went out for a walk when she had nothing to do. She met Concubine Zhou because of her injury, and her injury had not healed yet, so she came out today to ask Concubine Zhou to see her injury.
Concubine Zhou was just asking, "I don't know how long it will take for my foot injury to heal." After a pause, she sighed, "It doesn't matter whether it's good or not. After all, the Emperor favors Concubine Xi. I saw it that day. Concubine Xi is so beautiful. It's really unforgettable. No wonder she is favored. Did you hear that no one has ever stayed overnight in Qianyuan Palace before?"
Concubine Zhou then teased Chu Linglong: "You are also good-looking, and the emperor will definitely like you."
Chu Linglong was a little embarrassed, but said: "I like it or not, how can I say it now? There is never a shortage of beauties in the harem."
Concubine Zhou listened and sighed: "You are right, the emperor is not short of beauties."
It is said that a girl's feelings are always poetic. Concubine Zhou naturally wondered who the Emperor would look for on her first night in the palace. She felt a little disappointed if she didn't find the one who looked for her.
Chu Linglong had thought about who Xuanyuan Ling would turn over, but no matter who it was on the first night, it would eventually be her turn, so there was no point in thinking about it.
This is what she thought, and she answered in the same way when she chatted with Concubine Zhou. She left Concubine Zhou's place only when the time was almost up.
When they were halfway through the journey, they were passing by a rockery when they suddenly saw a figure on the rockery. When she looked closely, she found it was a child. Chu Linglong was shocked. Ming Su, who was serving beside her, recognized her at a glance: "Beauty, it seems to be the third princess."
Chu Linglong saw that the child was climbing up there in great danger, so she hurried over. But at that moment, the third princess slipped and slid down from the rockery. She subconsciously reached out to catch the child, but there was inertia when she fell, and a five-year-old child already had a certain weight. Chu Linglong caught the third princess, but she herself fell heavily.
At this time, the group of people who were looking for the third princess came over. Concubine Yu was just seeing this scene. The moment she saw the third princess fall, her heart almost stopped. Seeing Chu Linglong being pressed under the third princess, she had no time to care about Chu Linglong. She went to see the third princess. She didn't see any injuries on the surface, but she was still relieved: "Imperial Physician, quickly call the imperial physician."
The third princess was so frightened that she burst into tears. Concubine Yu was heartbroken. She dared not let go of the child or move, for fear that the child might still have some injuries on her body and it would be bad if she moved.
Chu Linglong was touched when she saw Concubine Yu's expression, but Ming Su beside her exclaimed, "Beauty, your face."
Chu Linglong just then realized that her right cheek was a little sore. In fact, her body hurt more. However, injuries to the face were more serious in the harem than injuries to the body.
After Concubine Yu learned that the third princess was missing, she had already taken precautions and asked someone to find the imperial physician. The imperial physician arrived very quickly, and after the examination, he found that the third princess was just frightened and was fine. Concubine Yu then felt relieved.
Chu Linglong was not so lucky.
Concubine Yu at least remembered that Chu Linglong was still alive and by her side, and the Third Princess was fine. She only just remembered Chu Linglong now, and asked the imperial physician to treat her. As soon as the imperial physician saw that Chu Linglong's hand was bending and stretching abnormally, he knew that she was the one who was seriously injured.
Ming Su was a little anxious. She was really on Chu Linglong's side. Chu Linglong was arranged in Concubine Ru's palace. The palace maids around Concubine Ru bullied her, but it was Chu Linglong who exempted her from the punishment of kneeling on the first day, but Concubine Ru ridiculed her. She remembered this favor and sincerely hoped that Chu Linglong could gain favor and rise step by step in this palace in the future.
The imperial physician saw that Chu Linglong's arm injury was serious, but the injury on her face was not serious. However, the skin was just scratched by the branches and would not leave scars.
Concubine Yu went to see Chu Linglong again. She couldn't express her gratitude, but she said, "I will report this matter to the emperor."
She said that and left.
Reporting this to the Emperor is a great favor. If the Emperor knows that she has made great contributions in rescuing the third princess, he will naturally reward her. The most important thing for the women in the harem is the Emperor's favor, right?
Chu Linglong's unintentional rescue actually resulted in Concubine Yu taking care of her, which was unexpected.
When Shen Qing knew about this, he found it incredible. In the original novel, the two people who fought to the death actually became friends because of a third princess?
As expected, Concubine Yu reported the matter to Xuanyuan Ling. The fact that the third princess got lost and almost got into trouble could not be concealed. Upon learning about this, Xuanyuan Ling immediately ordered the imperial physician to treat Chu Linglong well. The reward arrived soon after. If nothing unexpected happened, Chu Linglong would be the first person among the newcomers to the palace that Xuanyuan Ling would remember.
