Prince of Prey's Little Ginseng Extract [Transmigration Book]

"I usually pay attention, but the dishes cooked by Concubine Xian are so delicious..." The more she said, the softer Jiang Ling's voice became.

"It's Concubine Xian's cooking." Emperor Chongming was no longer surprised. "The dishes she cooks are really unstoppable. When I first met her, I gained a lot of weight."

Jiang Ling nodded with a common language: "Yes, no one can refuse such a delicacy, not to mention me, Your Highness also used more than usual yesterday."

But most of the dishes still went into Jiang Ling's stomach.

"Concubine Xian hasn't cooked for a long time, it seems that she was in a good mood yesterday," Emperor Chongming said with emotion, "Why did Concubine Xian send you meals?"

"The palace man who delivered the food said that it was the Empress Xian who borrowed someone to decorate the courtyard for His Highness Ninth Prince in order to thank me." Jiang Ling replied.

"Lao Jiu doesn't have a deep mind. It's a good thing that you two are of the same age and can play together."

Jiang Ling really didn't want to continue this topic, but fortunately Emperor Chongming only asked a few words and talked about other things.

"There is good news in the old seventh mansion, the matter of the concubine can be slowed down first." Emperor Chongming was anxious to marry the concubine to Li Wang. Since there is a child in the family, there is no need to worry about this matter.

"Concubine Li seems to be dissatisfied with the concubine Li. I have plenty of time. Maybe I can pick a concubine who is more satisfied with Concubine Li." The queen took a sip from her teacup.

"She still wants a daughter from the Meng family?" Emperor Chongming frowned displeased, "Not the Meng family, there is only such a daughter in Meng Shangshu's family, and he plans to find a son-in-law for his daughter. Since Concubine Li is not satisfied, then let's put it aside."

Jiang Ling blinked in doubt, didn't she say that Concubine Li has regained her favor, it doesn't look like Emperor Chongming.

Emperor Chongming knew what Concubine Li was thinking, and he felt that the Meng family only had such a concubine. If the Meng family's prostitute was to be Li Wang's concubine, the Meng family could only be tied to Li Wang's boat for this daughter, and would give her the position of concubine. , Gaining the power of the Meng family, you can make a steady profit without losing money.

After breakfast, on the way back, Jiang Ling asked what happened last night, not sure: "Your Highness, don't everyone know what happened yesterday?"

"will not."

"That's good." Jiang Ling heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiao Shengyun laughed. What he didn't say was that he didn't hide the matter of inviting the imperial physician. If you want to inquire, you can still inquire.

In order to save Jiang Ling's face, Xiao Shengyun decided to confess after going back, so that the people below would not mention what happened last night.

The Ninth Prince was standing in front of the small courtyard where the Prince lived, looking forward to it, and finally saw the figures of the two, and rushed to meet them: "You guys are back."

"Did something happen?" Seeing the anxious look on the Ninth Prince's face, Jiang Ling asked.

"The courtyard where I live is very close to Brother Seventh Emperor. Last night, I heard the shrill cry from Brother Seventh Emperor. I was so scared that I didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. This morning I asked the servants in the courtyard, They all said they didn't hear it, I want to go to Brother Seventh Emperor to verify..."

The Ninth Prince's eyes were black and blue, and his face was haggard. He really didn't sleep well.

"No one heard it, did you hear it wrong?" Jiang Ling looked sideways at Xiao Chengyun, "Your Highness, did you hear anything last night?"

Jiang Ling sleeps heavily at night and usually won't be woken up. It was already late last night after finishing his meal. He almost fell asleep with the pillow on his head and didn't wake up halfway through.

"No." Xiao Shengyun answered briefly.

The Ninth Prince didn't doubt the Prince's words, and scratched his head: "Could it be that I heard it wrong? Or did I take the dream as a reality? The crying sound only appeared for a short time, and it's possible that I made a mistake. Fortunately, I didn't go directly to the Seventh Brother. Otherwise, he would definitely laugh at him for making such a big oolong."

Dispelling the doubts, the Ninth Prince talked about his new courtyard with great interest: "I have already sent back the palace servants that brother Jiang sent. almost the same……"

The three of them entered the yard while talking, smelling the fragrance of flowers, Jiang Ling said, "The dishes cooked by the concubine Xian are delicious."

"Right, right, the dishes my concubine mother cooks are so delicious. I used to be overwhelmed, but my concubine didn't cook anymore. I finally made her cook it yesterday. After eating, I asked my concubine to make some more." The Ninth Prince licked his lips reminiscently.

"You don't eat it often." Jiang Ling was a little disappointed. He thought that the Ninth Prince, as the concubine's own son, could often enjoy the delicious food, so he planned to ask if he could have a meal once in a while.

"My mother and concubine often did it when I was a child, so that I was very fat at that time. If you ask the prince and brother, he should remember."

"I remember," Xiao Shengyun nodded, "Gu still remembers, father gave him a nickname at that time, called 'Qiuqiu', and later he lost weight and didn't use this name anymore."

"Don't expose me," the Ninth Prince covered his face, "It happened many years ago."

"'Qiuqiu' is very cute, what about your Highness, did you have any nicknames before?" Jiang Ling looked at Xiao Shengyun with curiosity in her eyes.

"He didn't."

"I'm alone."

The two answered almost simultaneously.

"Brother Six is ​​His Royal Highness, he is different from us." Ninth Prince said.

The three of them entered the room, and there were snacks in the room for Jiang Ling to take at any time. The Ninth Prince unceremoniously took a petal-shaped one and threw it into his mouth: "I heard that the imperial doctor Zhang came last night, is Brother Jiang sick?" ?”

Jiang Ling picked up the plate of snacks in front of the Ninth Prince: "You don't need to mention this one."

The Ninth Prince was about to get the second piece, but the plate was gone, and his movements froze for a moment. Thinking of something, he laughed loudly: "Calculating the time, Doctor Zhang came just after dinner, Brother Jiang, you won't Are you overeating?"

Jiang Ling gasped and sat beside Xiao Chengyun with the plate in her arms: "Your snacks are gone."

"Hahaha, ouch," Xiao Chengyun glanced coldly, the Ninth Prince struggled to stop laughing, and comforted, "It's nothing, really, I used to always eat too much, and the hospital even prescribed digestive medicine to put it on the table. Palace, let me tell you, that medicine is terrible."

Jiang Ling was not comforted at all, and she looked at Xiao Chengyun, as if asking, didn't you say that no one else knew, why did the Ninth Prince also know?

"Where did you know?" Jiang Ling turned her head and asked.

"It's no secret that the prince's brother called the imperial physician. You can find out if you ask, but I guessed that you invited the imperial physician because you were hungry. Don't worry, others will never think of this level." After all, this pair of Ninth Princes Speaking from experience, it's all about experience.

"Forget it," Jiang Ling looked away, "If you know it, you will know it."

I thought that the crying that the Ninth Prince heard in the middle of the night was an accident, but unexpectedly, Jiang Ling heard palace people discussing this matter one after another.

"Did you hear last night, someone was crying, intermittently."

"I heard it. I also saw a white shadow floating outside the window. I didn't dare to look closely. I don't know if I saw it wrong."

"Has something similar happened in the palace before? Sister Cailing, you came here last year, did you encounter it?"

"No, not to mention last year, I haven't encountered such a thing before."

"Xinggong, it's not... haunted, right?"

"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth."

Jiang Ling passed by the path, stopped Eunuch Fan's movement to move forward, walked a little further, and asked, "Eunuch Fan, did you hear crying in the middle of the night?"

"I have always slept lightly, and I have never heard of it."

Jiang Ling was thoughtful: "This cry seems a bit provocative, Eunuch Fan, you can go outside and ask if anyone has heard the cry where other people live."

"Yes."

Jiang Ling found the Ninth Prince and asked him if he heard crying again.

"I haven't heard of it since then, and the palace guards said everything was normal." After that day, the Ninth Prince asked the palace guards to keep watch every night, "Why, did someone hear crying again?"

Jiang Ling was worried that speaking out would scare the Ninth Prince, so she shook her head: "I just suddenly remembered this matter, I don't seem to have seen King Li, does he not live here?"

"Don't tell me I didn't find out, and I haven't seen him for a few days. I don't know what he is busy with all day long. The prince and brother are not as busy as him."

Jiang Ling told Xiao Shengyun what the palace people said about the crying, and asked him, "Have you found anything, Your Highness?"

"According to what you said, except for the first time, every subsequent cry appeared from the lower-status palace officials. Whether they were lying, spreading rumors, or the truth, if the people behind the scenes had plots, they would definitely not Stop there."

Jiang Ling paid attention, and nothing happened for a few days. The palace servants who had discussed the crying at the beginning did not discuss this matter again. He let Eunuch Fan find the answer to the matter that Eunuch Fan asked, and it did not appear in other places. cries.

Is it an accident?

Jiang Ling supported her with one hand, dazed in a daze.

Xiao Chengyun sat opposite him, with a chessboard between them, and a white piece fell, Xiao Shengyun said: "It's your turn."

Jiang Ling regained her senses, looked at the black pieces on the chessboard, and felt a headache: "Your Highness, I really don't know how to play."

Xiao Shengyun didn't know where his interest came from, so he had to pull him to play chess. Jiang Ling had only been exposed to backgammon in modern society, so how could he play this kind of chess?

Thinking of backgammon, Jiang Ling's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, how about we change the game?"

"What kind of play does Ling'er want to change?"

Jiang Ling saw that there was something going on, so she took black pieces and white pieces to demonstrate on the chessboard: "Like this, horizontally, vertically, and obliquely, if five pieces form a line, it is considered a win."

"The rules are quite simple." Xiao Chengyun stroked the white piece in his hand, "Ling'er came up with the game?"

"No, I've seen other people play like this before, His Highness's move is too difficult, don't you think it's boring to play with me?" Jiang Ling was almost fainted.

"Teaching Ling'er to play chess is also a kind of fun. As long as you are with Ling'er, you won't feel bored doing anything lonely." Xiao Shengyun also thought so in his heart, staying with Jiang Ling, even if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be bored. will feel bored.

But I don't want to play such a headache.

Jiang Ling squeezed the chess piece in her hand: "It's all about playing chess. Your Highness, why don't you try the way I said. If you still follow His Highness's teaching, I will lose no matter how you play. It's no fun at all."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Chengyun narrowed his eyes, "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose in the chess game before, if you play the way Ling'er said, wouldn't you be lucky?"

"What kind of prize does Your Highness want?" Jiang Ling asked.

"If Ling'er wins, Ling'er will take a bite of the orphan, if Gu wins, Ling'er will kiss the orphan, how about it?"

"Okay." Jiang Ling agreed.

Wait—after agreeing, Jiang Ling suddenly realized something was wrong. Is there any difference between losing and winning this lottery?
