Chapter 38 Eavesdropping
Chapter 38 Eavesdropping
The morning passed quickly, and when Archer knocked on the door to remind Vigal that it was time for lunch, Ealing didn't even have time to finish Chapter 1 of the spell book.
He reluctantly closed the book, finished lunch with Vigal, then declined the invitation of His Highness the Prince to take a nap, and rushed directly to the appointment.
It was probably Archer who ordered something. When she arrived at the sheepfold, the maid was already waiting at the door. When she saw Ealing, she opened the fence with a smile on her face and said, "Mr. Ealing, Archer said that you will Take Tulip out for a walk, for safety's sake, I suggest you tie it with a rope."
"Okay, thank you for your suggestion." Yi Ling walked in and found that Richard's neck had been tied with a noose, and the lamb seemed obviously not used to being restrained, its head kept shaking from side to side Shaking to throw the noose out.
The maid made a bitter face, and complained to Yi Ling: "Mr. Yi Ling, you don't know how much effort it took me to tie this knot! The tulip doesn't cooperate with my work at all, it only wants to be free, free, free..."
"Sorry, I will try to persuade it."
Yi Ling walked towards Richard quickly, he held the lamb's restless head, and softly comforted him: "You are not used to wearing this thing, are you? I can understand you, baby... But, we are In the palace, not in Ai Liang, there are many other people here besides me. Although I know you are an obedient lamb, other people don’t know, can we be considerate of them?”
Richard bleated a few words reluctantly, and finally bowed his head in frustration, expressing a compromise.
"Okay, let's go." Yi Ling led Richard out of the fence. The maid looked at the calm lamb with relief, and bowed to Yi Ling: "Have a good time, Mr. Yi Ling! Just send the tulips back before sunset."
"Well, goodbye." Yi Ling nodded.
After saying goodbye to the maid, Ealing turned to ask his lamb: "Hey, where do you want to go first, Richard? Go east from the fork of this road, and we can see a very beautiful big The lawn is not as good as Aira, but there are a lot of flowers growing there. If we go west, we can see the palace of His Royal Highness in 10 minutes, and maybe we can meet the cleaning boys outside. I really like you."
Richard chose the east route without hesitation.
"I guessed that you would choose this side!" Yi Ling grabbed the rope and shouted excitedly, "Let's run over together, Richard, just like in Air Liang. One, two, three, let's go!"
Hearing the order, Richard quickly ran away, and Eiling followed closely behind him, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The afternoon wind was warm, blowing over Richard's unruly hair and Ealing's flushed cheeks from running.
This path is relatively remote, and the gardeners with flower shovels basically avoided them as soon as they saw them, so they didn't meet many people along the way.
Yi Ling silently prayed in her heart that no one would report to the guards, because they looked so crazy at the moment.Especially Richard, the lamb was whining, whooping, hooting for joy, and just couldn't stop making all kinds of noises.
Yiling didn't stop Richard from doing this, he also felt that the lamb had been suppressed in the palace for too long.In fact, he ever wondered if it would have been better for Richard if he had stayed in Airang?
The Great Lawn has arrived.
Minsaru's lawn is very different from Aira's.
In Airliang, grass grows at the foot of the mountain, the length of which is no longer than an adult's calf; while in Mingsalu, people here obviously pay more attention to ornamental value, so the lawn here is also in clusters, low and short of.
"Look over there, Richard!" Yi Ling pointed to a certain direction and walked straight over. It was a tulip flower bed. "The flowers you like!"
Richard followed over stompingly, stuck a big head in, nudged a golden tulip lightly with his nose, and then looked expectantly at Eiling, his intentions self-evident.
Yi Ling looked around in a panic for a while, and struggled: "Do you want it very much, Richard... But this is not our own home, this is the royal palace, the home of His Highness the Prince."
Richard doesn't care about that much, it just wants to "want".At this time, it is no different from a child who keeps pestering adults to buy candy.
Yi Ling watched Richard's ears frantically fluttering up and down, but in the end he couldn't help it. He squatted quietly on the ground, stretched out his hand to pluck the flower that the lamb liked, and whispered: "Sorry, Your Highness, I will will apologize to you."
He folded the tulip and held it in front of Richard. The lamb sneezed excitedly, and then shook the other "tulip" on top of his head, wanting Eiling to wear this flower together.
Yiling gently put flowers on the lamb, clapped her hands and said, "Well, Richard, you finally have a real tulip!"
Richard proudly circled around Eiling, his black face showed no expression, Ealing could only tell from the part of its tongue that it was showing off its new baby.
Yes, Richard likes to stick his tongue out when he's proud, and according to Uncle Mike, probably got it from his mother.
"Let's just take a walk here, Richard." Seeing that there was no one around, Eiling untied the noose around Richard's neck, smoothed its long hair, and walked along side by side. Walk along the lawn.
After walking for some time, they seemed to have arrived at a labyrinth garden pruned by crimson shrubs. As soon as Richard saw the garden, he was eager to go there. Yiling was worried that the lamb might accidentally bump into a passer-by, so he specially instructed Said: "Richard, follow me, don't run, you know?"
Richard nodded, biting Yiling's robe corner and pulling him towards the labyrinth garden, Yiling speeded up his pace helplessly. When he reached the outermost edge, he heard a somewhat familiar voice through a bush wall.
"...My father is very fond of Miss Gulen, oh, that dull woman who doesn't understand style, you don't understand, I can't breathe...He has already proposed marriage to the Gulen family. If things go well, Maybe you'll hear about our engagement in two days."
Miss Grant?got engaged?
—The speaker is Prince Dana!
Yiling held her breath, gestured to Richard for silence, and slowly backed away.
At the same time he heard a female voice tremblingly saying:
"Honey, can't you refuse? I don't want to be a shady mistress, especially—your mistress, the mistress of a prince, which means that once our affairs are discovered, I will suffer the most terrible accusations! People won't criticize you too much, but I, I will become a stinky rat, and everyone will have a reason to trample on me."
"Don't you have the heart to give up our love, Yuna? I don't have the slightest feeling for Miss Grant. I only love you, Yuna. Isn't it worth you to be brave for me?"
"No! I didn't say I would give up, but... Dana, I can't calm down now. I have to go home and think about it."
A graceful and beautiful figure hurried out with swaying skirts. Yi Ling hid in the shade with his arms around Richard who was confused. He saw Prince Dana chasing after him. Soon, the labyrinth garden became quiet.
