Chapter 4: Clouds Think of Clothes and Flowers Think of Faces (2)

  "Miss, you won't be... " Ling Tong looked at her as if guessing: "You haven't forgotten who you are, have you?"

  The person sitting on the bed suddenly jolted, hastily lifted their eyes and smiled awkwardly: "No, no... I might have really been scared by something in my dream when I was sleeping, I... I'll sleep for a while first!"

  As she spoke, she turned around and wrapped herself in the quilt. However, just as she had enclosed herself in the dark depths of the quilt, the fragrance on her body and the scent of Longyan incense from the man in yesterday's dream wafted out. She suddenly threw off the quilt and sat up, making a great effort to calm herself down.

  What's going on after all?

  She just had a birthday party with her colleagues after work, and then watched some movies not suitable for minors at her colleague's home. She didn't do anything that would harm the sky or reason. She just had a spring dream and...

  No! It seems it's not a dream!

  She suddenly lowered her head, looking at the green and purple marks on her body, then turned to look at a patch of red bloodstains on the bed that seemed to be saying something.

  "Miss......" Ling Tong looked at her with concern, leaning forward. Suddenly she spoke up: "Who am I?" She tried to remain calm, taking a few deep breaths, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Ling Tong.

  A flash of understanding flickered in Ling's eyes, as if she wasn't particularly curious or puzzled by this strange reflection. She suddenly smiled faintly, and then pulled out a silly sweet smile: "Miss, you are the princess of our Dong Xun Kingdom, that is, the wife of King Jin Wang Xiao Yuehan!"

  "Princess?" She was taken aback, "Then what am I called?" Although she knew her question was silly, she had to ask, she couldn't let herself look even sillier by asking others, and besides, the little girl in front of her didn't seem to be suspicious at all.

  "Heh heh, miss, aren't you still half asleep?" Ling Tong smiled and smoothed out the woman's hair, which was hidden under the blanket, and helped her wrap herself up tightly. "Miss, your name is Hua Xiang Rong, the only daughter of our Eastern Seeking Country's Left Chancellor, who married into our Jin Wang Fu as the official wife of the Jin King on the third day after her coming-of-age ceremony half a year ago."

  "Why do you call me miss?" Hua Xiang Rong furrowed her brow, trying hard not to let her thoughts run wild.

  "Ling was the one you rescued from the roadside before entering the palace, have you forgotten? Later, after Ling and you entered the palace together, Miss... " Ling suddenly lowered her eyes, skipped what came next, and jumped to the end, "...it's because Miss didn't allow Ling to call you Princess Wang that..."

  "Ah, I remember now." Hua Xiang Rong forced a smile, then turned her head to look around the room. Seeing Ling Tong still standing by the bed, she suddenly looked at her, "Ling Tong, what happened just now and what I asked you, don't tell anyone else. I was just sleepy and had a headache for a moment... so..."

  "Don't worry, Miss. I won't say anything to outsiders. This is our little secret!" Lingdang seemed to know what Huaxiangrong was thinking and winked at her with a sly smile.

  "Miss, please wait for a moment, I'll go and see why Zhu'er hasn't brought the hot water yet. You wait here, I'll go and take a look." Lingdang smiled sweetly at Hua Xiangrong again, then turned around and walked out.

  Hua Xiang Rong saw Ling Tuo leave and hastily lifted up the quilt, got out of bed.

  That's all.
