Chapter 57: I'm Caught Again
"I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to ask the emperor for instructions." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head lightly, looking helpless.
"That's all!" Zhang Lin could only give up regretfully. He felt that his request might be too much. After all, Shangguan Wan'er's identity was not an ordinary palace maid, but a celebrity around the emperor, the head of the maid official in the harem, and her position could compete with the prime minister of the court, so that people with such respectable status could play for themselves. Even if she was a superstar in the emperor, she could not do it...
"Haha~, I caught it again!" The palace maid who had appeared before jumped out of nowhere and said in a frightening manner. She was still wearing the palace maid costume, and the beautiful little boy was still following behind her...
"It's really... it's really, why are you sneaking?" Seeing Gua'er, Shangguan Wan'er's expression was a little unnatural, as if she was really caught by the other party, and she said in a hurry.
"You are guilty, but you turned the tables and said that I was sneaky! We went there before you, but you didn't see it!" Gua'er smiled and pointed at Shangguan Wan'er, then pointed to the depths of the peach forest, which meant that it was their previous hiding place.
"What, you arrived first? Then what did you hear?" Shangguan Wan'er gasped, because if the things she and Zhang Lin were talking about before fell into the ears of others, it would definitely be a big deal.
"Sanlang, tell them what we all heard." Guer did not respond to Shangguan Wan'er's question, but asked the little boy to answer it on his behalf.
Sanlang did not respond immediately, but looked at Shangguan Wan'er with watery eyes, smacked his rosy lips, and asked crisply: "Sister Wan'er, is there any sugar from yesterday?"
"The candy... is gone." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, because she gave them all, and there was no one left, so she couldn't ask Zhang Lin for it. Besides, she didn't know if Zhang Lin had any.
Zhang Lin understood that this little eunuch liked the taste of milk candy and was addicted to eating it. He wanted to eat it after eating it, but he felt that he had no need to give it to him again. At that time, Wan'er stuffed all the nine candies into Bu'er's hand in one breath, which made him feel distressed for a lot of time.
"Sanlang, I asked you to tell them what you heard, what did you say candy?" Guer reached out and patted Sanlang's head, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"The main thing is thirst. Since there is no candy, I have to dry my throat." The little boy Sanlang blinked his eyes, looked at Shangguan Wan'er, raised his hand to point at Zhang Lin, and said in a crisp childish voice, "I heard that this brother was going to perform and sing, and wanted Sister Wan'er to play the pipa music. But Sister Wan'er said that she could not make decisions and wanted to ask the emperor...the emperor."
"What else?" A satisfied smile appeared on Buer'er's face, and he was tempted by his compulsory.
"I also heard that this brother said they were grasshoppers on a rope. Sister Wan'er said, you are grasshoppers." Sanlang licked his lips and continued, without any concealment.
Zhang Lin understood that this little eunuch asked Shangguan Wan'er for candy just now. Maybe he gave him candy. He might not hear anything and would not say anything. He couldn't tell that this little eunuch was so cunning at a young age. He was simply not a son of humanity!
Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er's face changed color. She understood that the conversation between her and Zhang Lin was mostly heard by the other party, but she still felt a little lucky in her heart. Perhaps they did not hear the most important part.
"Talk about the key points, such as how did they become grasshoppers on a rope?" Guer winked at Saburo and gave a bare-fruit tip.
"It seems..." Sanlang stopped talking, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er timidly, glanced at Zhang Lin again, and finally, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Because this brother left the palace privately..."
"Don't say anything more." Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale. In desperation, she covered Sanlang's mouth with her hands, as if Zhang Lin had covered her mouth before.
"Woo~" Sanlang opened his eyes wide, whimpered and struggled, his head shaking to both sides. Although he was young, he was not weak, and Shangguan Wan'er's delicate body was a little unstable.
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly let go of her hand, worried that if someone was killed, it would be troublesome, and immediately apologized to Sanlang: "I'm sorry, San... Lang."
Saburo was not angry at all, nor cried. Instead, he used his little hands to smooth out his messed hair and said generously: "I'm fine, you'll be fine."
Originally, Zhang Lin could have considered going back and getting a few candies for Sanlang to eat. Since he had said everything, then the candy was gone!
"Sister Wan'er, what would you do if two big grasshoppers fell into your hands?" Gua'er raised her eyebrows and said with great sternness, with a threat of red piles in her words.
"It's really... it's true, don't joke. My little heart is very fragile and I can't stand it. Besides, we are good sisters. When did I hear you?" The handle fell into someone else's hands, Shangguan Wan'er could only whisper and please Gu'er with a smile.
"That's right. Sister Wan'er. With our relationship, as long as you listen to me, I promise to rot what I just heard in my stomach." Gu'er reached out and patted Shangguan Wan'er's arm intimately.
"Tell me, what are your requirements?" Shangguan Wan'er said in an urgent tone and asked straight to the point. If she could do the other party's request, she would definitely satisfy it without any ambiguity.
"I haven't considered it yet. Let me tell you after I have considered it. OK?" But Guer did not answer immediately, but looked at Shangguan Wan'er with the look of a mouse playing with cat. Her red lips were slightly raised, and a proud expression appeared.
"Okay." Shangguan Wan'er was very helpless and embarrassed.
"So too, as long as I have candy, I won't say anything." Sanlang shook his head and said the old god, without any implicit words, which made Zhang Lin unable to help but want to give him a thunderous thunder.
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and looked at Zhang Lin with beautiful eyes. That's what it means, is there still candy? If so, just give him a few.
Zhang Lin shrugged and did not agree to Shangguan Wan'er's gesture. He didn't like to be threatened, let alone being threatened by such a little kid, which made people laugh at him!
"Brother Lin, what a coincidence, we're meeting again." Guer smiled like a flower and greeted Zhang Lin with a delicate voice, as if Zhang Lin had just entered her sight, but before, it was like air, and she had never seen her.
"Okay." Zhang Lin responded casually, ignoring Guer's love for him. To be honest, he didn't want to pay attention to Guer. In a word, this woman is poisonous, so try to stay away as much as possible.
"Brother Lin, don't you need a music for singing tomorrow? I can play the guzheng, so I'll give you a music." Guer suddenly remembered something good, his beautiful eyes shone, and he suggested excitedly.
"I can beat the drum, I'm the one!" Sanlang had no time to agree, ready to beat the drum, and looked excited, as if the drum beat was bigger than the sky for him. He threw the matter of asking for sugar out of the sky, and no longer mentioned a word...
