Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 87

"See Princess!"

"See Princess!"

……

Lin Zijiang carried her food box all the way out of the Indus Garden, and everywhere she passed, people saluted her respectfully.

Lin Zijiang was still a little uncomfortable seeing the maidservants who had flirted with him before, and now they were all respectful to him.However, there was nothing unusual on the faces of the others, as if Lin Zijiang had always been the concubine of the Yue Palace.

She couldn't understand how these people could accept the fact that they changed from a maid to a princess overnight so quickly?Looking at the serious expressions of those people, Lin Zijiang couldn't help wondering whether the whole palace had suddenly lost their memory, and she was the only one who could remember the past.

"You don't need to be too polite!" She didn't have time to stop, and trotted past all the way, leaving only a hurried back of the servants who were still saluting.It also made those maids who bullied her breathe a sigh of relief. Although they pretended to be indifferent on the surface, in fact, since Chu Yue announced Lin Zijiang's princess status last night, their hearts have been hanging there, deeply afraid that Lin Zijiang Remember the past.

Finally running to the gate, Lin Zijiang looked up and saw a gorgeous carriage and about a dozen guards from the palace waiting there.

Lin Zijiang couldn't help thinking, this palace is quite majestic, and so many bodyguards were sent to pick him up.But after getting closer, she found that there seemed to be something strange mixed in.

The four sides of the carriage are wrapped in brocade, and the body is also made of high-quality black nanmu, which looks extraordinarily rich and luxurious.But the driver sitting in front of the carriage was a bad old man in dirty sackcloth.

Lin Zijiang didn't discriminate against his clothes, it's just that the coachman was an old man who looked to be nearly sixty years old.He has a stooped figure, and his eyes are sunken deeply. The exposed skin, the whole face to the neck, and both hands are covered with wrinkles like tree roots, which looks a bit permeable.

As soon as the man saw Lin Zijiang approaching, he immediately jumped out of the carriage.When his dead tree-like body touched the ground, he trembled, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, and Lin Zijiang couldn't help but sweat for him in his heart.

"The old slave is knocking on Princess Yue..." As the man spoke, he lowered his body tremblingly to salute Lin Zijiang.

"No need." Lin Zijiang hurriedly supported him, because she was really worried about whether he could get up after kneeling down.

"Thank you, princess."

"Are you... the one sent by the palace to pick me up?" Although it was obvious, Lin Zijiang couldn't help but confirm it.

"That's right, the servant is the groom of the palace." The man pulled his dry bark-like lips and tried his best to show what he thought was a bright smile.His smile seemed even more pervasive, his already sunken eyes deepened, buried in deep creases like two black holes.This image can definitely be used as a weapon to frighten disobedient children, it is much more vivid than Grandma Wolf.

However, when he saw Lin Zijiang's suspicious expression, his smile was immediately put away, and he turned to explain sincerely: "My lord, don't look at me like this. I have entered the palace since I was ten years old. Horses that have been driving for 40 years are definitely no worse than those young slaves."

As he said that, he felt aggrieved: "Your Majesty, don't you think that this slave is too old? I beg you, give this slave a chance. This slave has been dealing with horses in the palace for so many years, and he knows nothing but driving horses." , but the nobles in the palace dislike the ugly appearance of the slave and don’t want to use the slave. The palace never raises idlers, and the adults said that if the slave doesn’t do anything, they will drive me out of the palace..."

As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down and beg Lin Zijiang.

Lin Zijiang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw his tearful appearance.He quickly supported him, and said, "Don't do this! I...I didn't mean that. I didn't mean to dislike you, but I was just worried...whether your body will..."

"No. The servant's body is strong, even if he drives another 20-year-old horse for the princess, it won't be a problem." The old man said, patting his chest.

"Alright then." Lin Zijiang smiled helplessly.Although she was still a little worried, she couldn't bear to reject this stubborn and pitiful old man.

"Princess, it's getting late, let's hurry up and get on the road."

"Okay." With that said, Lin Zijiang carried the food box and walked to the carriage.

But just when she was about to board the carriage, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze shooting from behind, as if she was looking at herself.

This kind of hostile gaze made Lin Zijiang feel very uncomfortable. She turned around to look for the owner of that gaze, but she happened to meet the cloudy eyes of the old coachman standing not far behind her.

"Princess, what's the matter?" the other party asked.

"Um...it's nothing. I just wanted to ask you, what's your name?" Lin Zijiang said.

"My slave's surname is Zhao, everyone calls me Old Zhaotou."

"Oh. Then I'll call you Old Zhao." After speaking, Lin Zijiang turned around and boarded the carriage.But doubts still linger in her heart, and her feelings are generally correct.That gaze just now was sharp and familiar. Is it that old Zhao?But Lin Zijiang didn't remember seeing him before.

……

The carriage to the palace, after traveling for about half an hour, finally stopped.

"Princess, we're here." Old Zhao's hoarse voice reached Lin Zijiang's ears.

"Oh." Lin Zijiang replied, and then lifted the curtain to get out of the carriage.She had to admit that this old Zhao's driving skills were really good, much more stable than Wang Ji who was only in his early twenties in the Yue Palace.

Seeing Lin Zijiang coming out, Old Zhao subconsciously stretched out his hand to help her.

But Lin Zijiang didn't extend his hand, but jumped out of the carriage by himself.For so many years, she has been used to things that she can do by herself and never let others reach out. She is not used to the delicate life of needing someone to support her every step.

But the old Zhao's expression was a little hurt. He looked at his oily hands, retracted them a little lonely, and squeezed the corner of his clothes awkwardly.

At this moment, a flattering eunuch immediately greeted him, saluted Lin Zijiang and said, "Slave Li De, see Princess Yue."

"Don't be too polite."

Hearing this, the eunuch stood up, took the dust fly in his hand and flicked the head of the old Zhao who was standing aside with disgust, and said in a reprimanding tone: "I don't even look at yourself, the princess is so precious. Is your body able to be supported by dirty hands like yours?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately put on a flattering smile and said to Lin Zijiang: "My lord, don't be offended, this old Zhao is confused and has forgotten the rules. This servant will definitely teach him a lesson when he comes down. You are invited by the emperor." How can such a distinguished guest serve you?"

Lin Zijiang sneered: "Really? Is there no one in the palace? If the emperor really values ​​me as you said, why would he send such a person to drive the carriage for me? Isn't this an obvious humiliation to our Yue Palace? "
