The Legend of the Royal Cat
Chapter 18
After Ling'er's facial, she was directly summoned by the Queen Mother to have a meal in the bedroom. It was already afternoon when she left the palace, and the little face that was originally curious and joyful now had a bitter expression, depressed and unhappy!
"Your Highness, what does the emperor look like? Is he fierce or not? Isn't the queen mother very kind?" Ziling was taken aback when she saw Zhao Linger's appearance. Linger spoke.
"Zi Ling, stop arguing!" Zhao Ling'er gave Zi Ling a blank look, and casually stuffed a package of things into the hands of Zhan Zhao who also looked surprised, and hurried into the sedan chair.Zi Ling, who has never been older than the princess and is used to joking, has never seen Zhao Ling'er like this before, she can't help sticking her tongue out, looking to Zhan Zhao for help.
There was a burst of fragrance from the warm oil bag in his hand, and he actually stole some food for himself from the Queen Mother's banquet, Zhan Zhao couldn't help smiling, he didn't expect this unruly little princess to have such a careful side.It's just that Ling'er's reaction now is really weird. Meeting Zi Ling's eyes asking for help, Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, what's on your mind?"
"My father's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I, Zhao Ling'er, may not believe in the sky or fear the earth, but I have to obey my father's decision—Zhan Huwei, if I am the daughter of an ordinary family, can I be as free as a bird?" Flying in the sky, swimming in the water like a fish?" After a long time, Ling'er sighed softly from the sedan chair, as if she was asking Zhan Zhao, more like asking herself.
Although he didn't understand why Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt so emotional, Zhan Zhao could feel her helplessness as a son and daughter of the royal family, the uneasiness hidden behind her happiness. "Your Royal Highness, no one can have absolute freedom. People always have their own responsibilities in this world, and they will inevitably be bound by it! Children are like their parents, so why aren't parents like their children? Even if you were born in an ordinary family, There are some things that must be faced - the prince loves the princess very much, if the princess has any doubts about the decision made by the prince, you may wish to have a frank talk with the prince, or there may be a turning point - if the princess wants to experience the moment when the birds fly in the sky and the fish swim in the water The freedom of the world, the subordinates can help the princess realize this wish." Thinking that Ling'er is still a child, don't talk too much about the helplessness in this world, Zhan Zhao changed his mind and thought of a place, maybe Let Linger be happy.
"Zhan Huwei, are you serious?" Although the knot in his heart was still unsolved, his curiosity was slightly distracted and he was depressed.
"How dare this subordinate lie to Her Highness the Princess! If the Princess doesn't believe it, how about following the subordinate to have a try after returning home to report to the lord?" Zhan Zhao saw that the persuasion was effective, and his heart relaxed a lot.
"En!" Ling'er only felt inexplicably at ease, and responded lightly.During the chat, Feng Luan had already left the palace gate, Zi Ling secretly gave Zhan Zhao a thumbs up, with a ghostly smile on her face.Zhan Zhao smiled but said nothing, just shook his head lightly.
"Ling'er, um, it's really clever! I heard from King Huai that I've reached the age of twenty-eight, and it's time to choose a consort!" During the luncheon, the queen mother looked herself up, down, left, and right. Fan, said with eyes full of joy.
"What the queen mother said is very true. The emperor's uncle entered the palace the day before yesterday, and I have handed over the roster of young talents who are both Chinese and martial arts with excellent character to the emperor's careful selection!" The emperor seems to attach great importance to this move and is very interested .
Thinking back along the way, Ling'er was already in a state of confusion, wondering if that person was also on the list, her father should be in charge of her life's major events, but in the eyes of her father, that person had already offended her first, disobeyed her. After Ling contradicts his father, his father will definitely not choose him——Thinking of this, he sighed again.
Sunset, Royal Residence, Nanjing Pavilion
The beautiful sunset glow coated the pale pink peach blossoms with a layer of golden yellow, and the afterglow of the sunset also sprinkled on Linger's delicate facial features, adding a touch of charm, such a beautiful scene of peach blossoms with a human face!But at this time, Ling'er's heart is not as calm as it appears on the surface, but is waiting anxiously!
"His Royal Highness, you are here! Let the servants find it quickly! Hehe!" Ziling's silver bell-like laughter spread into Taolin.
Ling'er heard the sound and hurriedly turned her head, but her eyes were looking past Zi Ling—why didn't she come back?
"Princess—Master Zhan is discussing with the prince about the safety of the princess' pilgrimage tomorrow, and I'm afraid she won't be able to come back for a while!" Seeing the disappointment in Linger's eyes, Zi Ling couldn't help but soften her heart as soon as she said that. "However, Mr. Zhan said that if the princess has nothing to do, you might as well go to the back garden. He will go as soon as he is done-oh, princess, wait for me!"
Royal Pavilion, back garden
"Princess, you haven't appreciated the scenery of the back garden, but I have already turned around, servant girl. If you turn another corner, you will see a clear stream, and there is an old tree with a crooked neck next to it. It’s like the tree we used to climb when we were young, no, it’s even more crooked than that tree, and it even reaches the other side of the stream!” Ziling was like a cheerful bird, leading Linger through the tree-lined path, “ It's here, princess, look!"
"Qiu——Qian—" Ling'er looked in the direction Ziling pointed, but the swing like a flower basket floating on the crooked neck tree attracted all the attention.
"Swing?! When did it grow? It's made of flower vines, so beautiful!" Zi Ling was stunned, and then she was also fascinated by the clusters of flowers hanging in the middle of the stream. Master Zhan only said to let me take the princess to the Come here, so the mystery is here, hehe, it's really romantic, the princess is so happy!
"But princess, how do I get on this swing? Is it possible that I really want to climb a tree?!" Ziling looked at the stream, which was not too fast but not too narrow, and wondered.
Ling'er smiled mischievously, walked to the stream, and clasped a fist at the old tree with crooked neck: "Zhao Ling'er is here to experience the feeling of freedom of birds flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water, and please Grandpa Old Tree to make it happen!" Flying out from the bushes, she wrapped around Linger's bee waist lightly, and the next moment, Linger was already floating on the swing with the flower vines.The breeze is gentle, the swing is slightly swaying, the blue silk is flowing, and the gauze skirt is lightly swinging——
Ziling stood there blankly for a moment before she blinked her eyes to react, and coughed softly: "Hmm, Your Royal Highness, you and Grandpa Old Tree are slowly experiencing freedom. I will go to the gazebo over there and wait." With a smile, Yiliyan disappeared from Zhao Linger's sight at the fastest speed——
"Oh——Zi Ling, there's no need—" two voices sounded at the same time, and fell into silence at the same time: Ling'er suddenly understood Zi Ling's good intentions, and blurted out in embarrassment. Zhan Zhao, who was hiding in the branches and leaves of an old tree, suddenly realized that he was going to be alone with the princess, so it would be impolite, so he kept silent because he found that Ziling was pretending not to He heard that he had run away like a rabbit—the silence continued—only the swing was swinging rhythmically—
"Guard Zhan, do you—do you hate me? I am unruly, willful and unreasonable, and I make things difficult for you everywhere, and even caused you to be punished by the king—" Zhao Linger said leisurely after a long time.
"Your Highness, this subordinate has no such intentions!" Originally, he wanted to make the princess happy, but unintentionally hurt her self-esteem. Zhan Zhao regretted his abruptness. He only knew that it is not easy to coax a child, but he did not expect to coax a half-grown child. , especially for girls!Forget it, since you have already decided to help the princess untie the knot, don't bother with worldly gifts!Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao sat up from behind the branches and leaves where he was hiding and leaned on the tree trunk: "The princess is kind and innocent in nature, with a bold and unruly personality, and she acts resolutely—"
"Really? Do you really think so? Brother Zhan likes me like this?!" Ling'er raised her head and looked at Zhan Zhao expectantly.
"Princess, the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be violated. The princess can't stand the call of Big Brother Zhan!" Zhan Zhao was startled by the sound of Big Brother Zhan, and couldn't think about the deep meaning of the second half of the sentence, so he hastily denied it.
"Hmph, I knew he was lying to me. In the eyes of Zhan Daxia, I look down on Zhao Linger at all!"
"Princess, this subordinate really didn't mean that—" Zhan Zhao had a dark and ominous premonition, how could things be like this? !
"Linger, call me Linger, I told you my name when we first met! If Big Brother Zhan really thinks highly of me, Zhao Linger, then when there are no outsiders, I will call you Big Brother Zhan, and you will call me Linger !——I just—want to be like ordinary girls. I can find someone to talk to when I have concerns, and someone will scold me if I do something wrong. I am no longer just a high-ranking princess who listens to pampering or flattering words. Brother Zhan, do you know ? I'm really lonely!" Looking at the setting sun, Ling'er felt a burst of sadness.
"Your Highness, the princess!—Thanks to the princess for her love, I don't dislike Zhan Zhao, who is reckless in the world, Zhan Zhao is worse than obedience!" Zhan Zhao sighed softly, "Actually, the prince is really good to the princess. If you have any concerns, the princess may as well talk to you My lord, calm down and talk."
"Call me Linger!" Linger's heart felt warm, but her mouth was very persistent and earnest correction.
"Hehe, okay——Ling'er, it's not that Big Brother Zhan said you, you are really aggressive and self-willed!" Once he figured out the reasoning, Zhan Zhao would naturally implement it. Some are uncomfortable, but they are no longer restrained in the past.
Ling'er smiled instead of anger, and her heart was as sweet as honey: "Actually, I know that my father treats me really well, and I also know that I have many shortcomings. If my father is still alive, he will definitely take care of me and teach me a lesson." Yes, but since my father passed away and entrusted me to my adoptive father, I haven't heard even a serious sentence, alas!" Ling'er's emotions surprised Zhan Zhao.
"Ling'er, you mean, you are the adopted daughter of Lord Huai, but—"
"I knew you would be surprised! Father has never married a concubine, how could he have his own daughter? However, even I am surprised, I am obviously just a righteous daughter, no matter how much Father loves me, he will at most seal me when he reports to the court I am a princess, but I heard from the old housekeeper of the palace that I was adopted as a righteous daughter by the prince since I was born, and it was even more beautiful when I was conferred. I'm still in my infancy! Hehe! Do you think it's strange?!" With Zhan Zhao, Ling'er felt at ease, and the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for many years also came out with emotion.
"Ling'er, have you seen your biological father? Do you know why the prince accepted you as a righteous daughter?" No wonder no one has ever heard of Princess Huai, the only daughter of King Huai is actually a righteous daughter!
"My father used to be a well-known imperial physician in the palace. I heard that my father was seriously injured and almost entered the gate of hell. It was my father who saved my father. However, my father's health has not been very good. Daddy came to the fiefdom of Youzhou with his father and became the royal doctor of the palace. My mother had a difficult labor on the day of her delivery, which coincided with my father having a heart attack. In order to save my father, my father failed to see her for the last time." Ling'er sighed softly. He said, "Father is very guilty of this matter. He accepted me as a righteous daughter and buried my mother! When I was six years old, my father couldn't get sick because of missing my mother. He passed away soon. Before he died, he entrusted me to I officially lived in the palace after I became my father. Brother Zhan, now you understand why my father is so reluctant to say a word about my pampering!" Linger said leisurely, her thoughts seemed to drift back to her childhood.
Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Ling'er has already experienced life and death. Zhan Zhao couldn't help feeling more understanding and affection for the little princess in front of him, "Ling'er, I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad!"
"Well—I'm fine. Daddy once said that he and mother would look at me and bless me in the sky. They never left me! I still have a good father and king. God has treated me very favorably, Zhao Ling'er, right? What's more, I still have two good friends, Zi Ling and Zi Long. Although they are always slaves and servants, I know that the affection between us is a true friendship. Now, I have Brother Zhan again You, do you think I am very happy?!" Ling'er sniffled, wiped away a tear from the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhan, I don't feel like flying yet, what should I do?!"
"Want to fly?!" Zhan Zhao had a little admiration for this strong little princess, and after being reminded by Ling'er, he remembered his original intention, so he smiled mischievously, and hung upside down on the swing with a golden hook: "Hurry up! Brother Zhan is not good at water, if you fall into the creek, I will also become a drowned cat!"
"Get ready, I'm going to swing high!!" I've never seen Zhan Zhao so relaxed and casual, Ling'er looked up at the blush hanging above her head, just wanting to stop time.
Driven by Zhan Zhao, the swing swayed higher and higher, steadily drawing an arc in the air?——
"It's so high, hehe! Brother Zhan, what about the fish swimming in the water?" Ling'er shuttled in the wind, half-looking up at Zhan Zhao.
"Do you really want to try?!" After all, the evening was a little cold, so don't let the princess get sick, Zhan Zhao hesitated.
"Of course I have to try, at any cost!" Ling'er nodded vigorously.
"Then Ling'er has to promise big brother that he will only try once! Also, try to communicate with the prince more between father and daughter in the future, and think about other people's feelings before making any decisions, okay?"
"Oh—I thought you were honest, but it turns out that you are also a cunning cat, waiting for me here!!" Linger suddenly realized.
"You just have to answer, agree, or not?!" Zhan Zhao raised his face in a serious manner on purpose.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you! I promise to do it!" Anyway, I plan to improve it like this, so it's not a disadvantage!
It seems that the negotiating skills learned from Mr. Gongsun are quite effective, Zhan Zhao smiled, took advantage of the moment when the swing reached the highest point, turned over and jumped up, and took out the flower vine for Linger in his hand: "Shut up, sit still!" At the moment when the swing swings back again, the flower vine shakes, and a curtain of water several feet high is stirred up on the water surface.
"Wow - ah!" Ling'er swayed through the water curtain with the swing, causing more splashes of water.
When the water splashed down, Zhan Zhao jumped onto the swing and slowly stabilized it. Looking down, Ling'er, who was wet and still in a daze, couldn't help laughing, "Little Lingyu, the swim is over!"
"Princess, what happened? The servant girl heard a loud sound of water!—Puchi" Ziling ran over following the sound, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Linger's appearance.
"It's really fun, Brother Zhan, how about playing it again?" Linger finally woke up from the shock just now, raised her eyes and shook her head with a serious face on Shang Zhanzhao, and hurriedly added, "I just mentioned it casually, don't take it seriously .——Also, neither Ziling nor Zilong are outsiders. Hehe!"
Helplessly shaking his head and smiling, Yi Huateng took Ling'er to the shore again: "Zi Ling, quickly take the princess back to change and wash, drink some ginger soup, don't catch a cold!"
"Oh, yes!" My God, who can tell me what happened to Ziling! ?
"Look at how nervous you are, I'm not that weak anymore!" Ling'er, who was still insisting, was pulled by Zi Ling and went straight to Nanjing Pavilion.
"Ling'er—the food for the past two days—is delicious! Thank you!" Zhan Zhao smiled at Ling'er who was still turning around every step of the way.
"Greedy cat!" Ling'er made a grimace, thinking in her heart how great it would be if the food praised by Brother Zhan was made by herself!
"Your Highness, what does the emperor look like? Is he fierce or not? Isn't the queen mother very kind?" Ziling was taken aback when she saw Zhao Linger's appearance. Linger spoke.
"Zi Ling, stop arguing!" Zhao Ling'er gave Zi Ling a blank look, and casually stuffed a package of things into the hands of Zhan Zhao who also looked surprised, and hurried into the sedan chair.Zi Ling, who has never been older than the princess and is used to joking, has never seen Zhao Ling'er like this before, she can't help sticking her tongue out, looking to Zhan Zhao for help.

Linger finally woke up from the shock just now, raised her eyes and shook her head with a serious face on Shang Zhanzhao, and hurriedly added, "I just mentioned it casually, don't take it seriously .——Also, neither Ziling nor Zilong are outsiders. Hehe!"
Helplessly shaking his head and smiling, Yi Huateng took Ling'er to the shore again: "Zi Ling, quickly take the princess back to change and wash, drink some ginger soup, don't catch a cold!"
"Oh, yes!" My God, who can tell me what happened to Ziling! ?
"Look at how nervous you are, I'm not that weak anymore!" Ling'er, who was still insisting, was pulled by Zi Ling and went straight to Nanjing Pavilion.
"Ling'er—the food for the past two days—is delicious! Thank you!" Zhan Zhao smiled at Ling'er who was still turning around every step of the way.
"Greedy cat!" Ling'er made a grimace, thinking in her heart how great it would be if the food praised by Brother Zhan was made by herself!
