It was a snow-white world. The people there wear strange clothes and live in strange houses.
She remembered the little girl and she remembered the little boy.
But is that her real world? Then why does she have no sense of belonging to that world?
She had no memory of ever living in such a world.
But no matter what, she thought that this woman named mother would not lie to her.
So after a while, she only said to the woman, "Since this is a dream, how should I wake up from the dream?"
After hearing this, the lady was about to speak, but the figure suddenly disappeared after a burst of snowflakes.
How could she disappear? She hasn't found a way to leave here yet.
Mother! Mother!
She called out anxiously several times in her dream.
"Jiaojiao? Gillian? What's wrong with you?"
But her mother didn't answer her. Instead, Zhao Yanzhen's voice seemed to be heard in her ears.
She opened her eyes tremblingly, only to find that Zhao Yanzhen had returned to the room at some point. He hugged her tightly and patted Jiang Nianjiao's back one after another.
He seemed to think he had a nightmare. When he only patted his back, he did not forget to say to himself, "Gillian, don't be afraid. It's all a dream. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt." .”
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao knew that she had woken up from the dream.
She was a little regretful that she didn't hear those last words.
But now that he's awake, there's nothing he can do.
She just patted Zhao Yanzhen on the back and said, "I'm fine."
Zhao Yanzhen obviously didn't believe what she said and just took Jiang Nianjiao out of his arms. However, seeing that the expression on her face was indeed much calmer, he just breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, he still asked, "Jiaojiao, what did you dream about?"
Jiang Nianjiao only whispered, "I dreamed about my mother."
"Mother?"
If Zhao Yanzhen remembers correctly, Jiang Nianjiao's mother died of dystocia when giving birth to her.
She was afraid that she had never met her biological mother seriously.
Then his eyes only fell on the scratched rattle next to Jiang Nianjiao.
This thing has always been used to coax children, and now they don't have children yet. How could this thing appear on the princess's bedside?
And the drum seemed to have been scratched.
When Zhao Yanzhen thought of this, he couldn't help but pick up the rattle and said, "Jiaojiao, why did you think about buying this?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but turn her head and look over. Then when she saw the rattle, she couldn't help being slightly shocked. After she didn't discover the secret of the rattle today, she asked Lianying to put it away again. She watched Lingying put the drum into the cabinet with her own eyes.
After that, there was no rattle beside her bed before going to bed. There should be no outsiders in her room. How could this drum appear beside her bed?
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's obviously dazed posture, Zhao Yanzhen's eyes couldn't help but sink.
"Did someone cast a nightmare spell on you?" Zhao Yanzhen's question was certainly not groundless. During his time in the Qiang Desert, he had also done a lot of research on the customs of the Qiang Desert.
This nightmare technique is just one of the methods used by the Qiangmo people with various methods.
Using objects as a medium, it is attached to the nightmare of life.
Although this nightmare technique is not fatal compared to other methods, if it continues for a long time, people will gradually lose weight and die of fear.
At this moment, Zhao Yanzhen even thought that those Qiangmo people used this shameless method on his princess in order to retaliate against him.
Fortunately, Jiang Nianjiao came to her senses when she heard Zhao Yanzhen ask this question.
She held Zhao Yanzhen's hand and chuckled, "No, I got this drum from my cousin. She said it was a relic of my mother's life and asked me to keep it well, so I brought it back."
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen obviously still had doubts in his heart. After all, the drum head was so damaged.
However, Jiaojiao said it was her mother's relic, so naturally he couldn't ask further.
He only asked Jiang Nianjiao in a low voice
"Jiaojiao, is this drum broken like this? Do you need me to find a master to repair it?"
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Nianjiao shook her head.
"That's not necessary. After all, this is my mother's relic. If the drum head is replaced with another one, how can it still be regarded as her relic?"
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao say this, he no longer persisted.
Jiang Nianjiao took the rattle in his hand and was about to get out of bed and put it away again, but as soon as she sat up, Zhao Yanzhen held her shoulders.
"You've already fallen asleep. It's freezing outside. I'd better put this rattle away for you." Zhao Yanzhen said softly.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't say much, just nodded, pointed to a small cabinet not far from the room and said, "This drum is placed in a carved brocade box inside. Just put the rattle back into the brocade box."
Zhao Yanzhen responded with a smile.
After he found the wooden box and confirmed that there were no strange objects with birth dates inside, he just put the rattle back into the wooden box. Then he locked the cabinet door and returned to Jiang Nianjiao. .
When Jiang Nianjiao saw him arriving in front of the bed, she began to undress him. In this moment, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly thought of the woman he met in the study today. Although the Jin Palace was heavily guarded, there were even secret guards watching the study. , he didn’t have to worry too much about someone daring to steal confidential documents from him, but he still asked.
"A new maid came to the study today?"
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen ask about this matter, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but chuckled, "Has the prince noticed it? Should I say that the prince has amazing observation skills? Or should I say that the girl is very much in line with the prince's wishes?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao teasing him like this, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but pinch the tip of her nose and said, "Why would you send someone to the study if you know you are jealous? Aren't you afraid that I really fall in love with that girl?"
"If the prince falls in love with the girl like this, then even if I don't send people to your study, you can still find a lot of girls to fall into your arms. Anyway, there are three wives and four concubines in the prince's palace that you can't support. Get up." Jiang Nianjiao immediately retorted.
Zhao Yanzhen laughed and said, "Okay, Jiaojiao, I'm just teasing you. I only have you in my heart. It's not like you don't know that you are enough for me."
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen just hugged Jiang Nianjiao into his arms.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't break away for a moment, but just let him hold her.
Zhao Yanzhen asked softly, "Jiaojiao, I met that woman in the study tonight. You also know that I told you before that no one should enter my study at night."
Jiang Nianjiao naturally remembered what Zhao Yanzhen said, and she stopped arguing with Zhao Yanzhen and just sat upright in Zhao Yanzhen's arms.
Then she asked softly, "The girl went to the study at night? Then you didn't do anything to her, right?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded, "I didn't do anything. I heard her say that she was the one arranged by you, the princess, and she said that no one else had told her this, so she let her go."
"But Jiaojiao, such a person is really reckless, you should transfer her to another yard, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only said softly, "Transferred to another yard? She can't do anything. She can only recite poetry and paint with elegance. She can barely clean up the study. If she doesn't stay in the study, I really don't know how to do it." I don’t know how to arrange it for her.”
"It turned out to be an embroidered pillow. Why did you bother to buy her?"
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao sighed, and then told Zhao Yanzhen everything that happened during the day.
"So that's it? I didn't expect that she was brave." When Zhao Yanzhen said this, he didn't know whether he was mocking Cheng Susu or praising her.
"But since she is the daughter of the Cheng family, we should not take her in to avoid more troubles in the future. But now that you have brought everyone in, there is no reason to leave. Otherwise, you will treat her as the daughter of the family. She can be kept by the guests and placed somewhere in the guest room far away. Just arrange another maid to keep an eye on her. In this way, even if Cheng Mansion really wants to use this to cause trouble in the future, it won't be too ugly. " Zhao Yanzhen immediately thought of a better arrangement.
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao felt that Zhao Yanzhen's arrangement was appropriate and nodded.
The next day, Cheng Susu followed the other maids in the study to clean up the study.
one
The maid suddenly walked into the study and asked, "Who is Cheng Susu?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Susu immediately stood up and said, "I am."
The maid looked Cheng Susu up and down, and then said coldly, "The princess has something to do with you."
Hearing this, Cheng Susu felt a little embarrassed and said, "I wonder what the princess wants from me?"
The maid said coldly, "You won't know until you go."
After saying that, the maid walked straight forward. Cheng Susu had no choice but to put down her work and follow the maid.
"What do you think the princess is going to do with her?"
"Could it be that she tried to seduce His Highness Prince Jin yesterday and was sued by His Highness Prince Jin to the princess?"
"Haha, if that's really the case, there will be a lot of fun to watch. The princess will definitely not let her off lightly." @
"That's not necessarily the case. Wasn't she arranged by the princess? Maybe the princess is looking for someone to ask her. If she complains to the princess then, we didn't tell her the rules yesterday. The princess will not come to us to settle accounts then. Bar."
Upon hearing this man's speculation, the others immediately fell silent. Those who were waiting to watch the excitement also restrained their expressions, for fear of getting burned.
Cheng Susu was still a little nervous. Although she didn't have time to do anything yesterday, she still felt guilty. After all, although the maids didn't tell her that she couldn't enter the study at night, she still heard their plans, so she was worried about this. The truth is informed.
She showed up at night on purpose. After all, compared to not seeing Prince Jin during the day, if she could see Prince Jin at night and leave an impression on him, it would be better than wasting her time like those maids. .
But she wasn't sure whether her little trick was noticed by anyone.
And the person who said that the princess came to see her didn't show anything, so she became even more frightened.
