In the evening, according to Wang Zhen's orders, the army was stationed in Tangjialing to rest.
It is said that Ji Ling accompanied Zhu Qizhen to chat for an afternoon, and at this time he was finally able to be quiet for a while.
After packing up his camp tent and inspecting the garrison of his soldiers and horses, Ji Ling ran to Zhu Qizhen again, of course, this is not his willingness, but his duty, after all, he wants to protect the emperor!
Zhu Qizhen's camp tent has already been set up, it is so big that it is not decent, it is not comparable to Ji Ling's small tent at all, it is really envious, jealous and hateful!
What's even more infuriating is that without Zhu Qizhen's order, Ji Ling can only stand outside and guard, saying that it is still quite cold at night, thinking of this, Ji Ling couldn't help but shudder. was at the boring stall, Ji Ling suddenly found a thin figure walking out of Zhu Qizhen's tent, then looked around, and picked a place where no one was there and sat down.
Ji Ling was curious, so he leaned over lightly, only to see clearly that it was the little palace maid named "Hong'er" in the daytime, so he walked around behind her and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"
” Hong'er was startled by this sudden voice, and hurriedly jumped up from the ground like a little rabbit, and when she saw that it was Ji Ling, she hurriedly saluted him, "Ji ......
Ji Gongzi ......"
"Don't be afraid, I am...... is a guard next to the emperor.
Ji Ling sat down on the ground as he spoke, and then beckoned to Hong'er, "Come, come and sit together!"
” Although Ji Ling said this, Hong'er still hesitated, only to see her shaking her head and saying, "I am a waiting girl next to the emperor, you ......
The emperor likes Ji Gongzi very much......"
Hong'er's implication was to point out the identity gap between the two, but Ji Ling still smiled at her, "We are both staying outside now, what's the difference?"
Come and sit here and talk to me for a while, or I'll be angry. ” Ji Ling's words were not fierce, and there was an obvious smile, so Hong'er nodded and sat next to Ji Ling, but she still deliberately distanced herself from him.
"What were you doing?"
Ji Ling looked at Hong'er with a smile, and deliberately put on a very leisurely pose, "Why are you sneaking like you're a thief?"
” "No ......"
Hong'er shook her head and hurriedly explained, "I just finished serving the emperor to wash his feet, and the prince wants to discuss things with the emperor, so I let ...... out."
"Oh, by the way......"
Hong'er said, as if she remembered something, and quickly looked around, and then saw a small porcelain bowl next to it, so she carefully picked it up and held it in her hand, "This is the leftover pigeon soup that the emperor drank during the day, and I gave it to me, not I stole it." ” Ji Ling couldn't help but laugh twice when he saw Hong'er's nervous appearance who was eager to confess, "You are so interesting, how old are you this year?"
” "I'm fourteen."
Hong'er sniffed the soup bowl with her nose as she spoke, as if she was not afraid of Ji Ling anymore, because he gave people a feeling of being really close, which she had never experienced before, "Actually, I lied about being one year old when I entered the palace, and I was just fourteen after the New Year." ” "Oh, it turned out to be a child."
Ji Ling nodded, his heart was clear, in fact, he had already seen that this Hong'er was not very old, and she was thin and small, it is estimated that the Queen Mother sent her to take care of Zhu Qizhen, and she also had this consideration, after all, if you find a mature and plump beautiful palace maid to come over, it is estimated that ......
Zhu Qizhen gave people luck, so the army is not easy to lead, right?
"I've been serving in the palace for two years, but I'm not a child!"
Hong'er raised her voice and corrected very "proudly", "You are not allowed to tell anyone what I just told you!"
Emperor......
I don't want anyone to see me......"
"I know!"
Ji Ling smiled, and at the same time sat closer to Hong'er, "You said that you have been in the palace for two years, where is your hometown?"
Just in the capital?
” "No......"
Hong'er said as she cautiously sipped the soup, "Do you know that there is a place called Huailai (author's note: it belongs to Zhangjiakou today)?"
My house is around there. ” Oh......
It turned out to be outside the gates......
Ji Ling nodded knowingly, "I know, how can that ......
You're in the palace again?
Huailai is not close to the capital!
” "Tartars are always robbing things in their hometown, and they can't live anymore."
When Hong'er said this, her face looked very calm, "The family entrusted me to send me to the palace, made a lot of silver, and took someone else's surname, so I can only have the surname Wan now, called Wan Hong'er." ” Oh......
It turned out that she had a similar experience to Li Xi'er, but she was much luckier than Li Xi'er, because although they both suffered from war in their hometown, Li Xi'er was sold to the Qinglou by her father, but this Wan Hong'er was able to enter the palace as a maid, this situation is simply very different!
Although Li Xi'er looks a lot better than Wan Hong'er, it seems that being good-looking is sometimes not necessarily a good thing......
"But just because I took someone else's surname, I ended up meeting a good sister......"
Wan Hong'er put down the porcelain bowl as she spoke, and took out a handkerchief from her bosom, "Her name is Wan Zhen'er, ah, her name is embroidered on it, and this handkerchief is what she gave me......."
At this time, Wan Hong'er and Ji Ling's words unconsciously increased, to say that it was also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who was held in one place all day long, and was suffocated to death, and finally found someone who could talk, so she would naturally beep non-stop.

Ji Ling saw Wan Hong'er open the conversation, and what she said was ......
It's quite naïve, so he pointed to the porcelain bowl on the ground and smiled, "Hurry up and drink the soup, it should be cold in a while!"
” "Oh, yes!"
Wan Hong'er smiled embarrassedly, then picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it deliciously.
In fact, the soup had already been cold, there was a layer of putty floating on it, and occasionally there were one or two pieces of meat scraps, Wan Hong'er swallowed them directly into her mouth, and even the bones were rattled and chewed, Ji Ling couldn't bear to look at it, so he took out a small package from his arms and opened it, it was a sugar cake, and Bai Ling personally branded it to his ......
"Eat, it's delicious!"
Ji Ling tore the sugar cake into two pieces, and then handed one of them to Wan Hong'er, "I just simmered on the stove before I came out, and there was still a little heat, so I ate it with soup." ” "Thank you."
Wan Hong'er took the sugar cake with a smile and looked very happy, "Ji Gongzi, you are so good, you are with others......
It's all different......"
"Hahaha......
Just know I'm good!
Ji Ling stood up from the ground as he spoke, "I won't gossip with you anymore, it's time to go on patrol, you can go in yourself in a while!"
” "Hmm!"
Wan Hong'er nodded, and also stood up, "Master Ji, you hurry up and get busy, after all, you want to protect the emperor!"
” "Huh......
I don't just want to protect the emperor......"
Ji Ling smiled and touched Wan Hong'er's head, "I also want to protect you, and I want to protect all the people who can and deserve to protect as much as possible......"
Note: The palace maids of the Ming Dynasty were taken from the sons of the good family, and the sons of the good families were non-doctors, non-witches, non-merchants and hundred workers, and generally all the daughters of peasant families.
Wan Hong's relationship with her and her identity show that she is not from a good family, and her hometown is in the kind of place where the four wars are in Huailai, and she has a little silver, which means that her family is likely to be similar to that kind of country doctor, these are all details, friends, you may need it later!
