Lin Xiao Xiao was woken up by hunger.
More accurately, she was forcibly yanked awake by a hunger that was so great that she could swallow a cow alive with her front and back, as well as a memory in her head that didn't belong to her.
She opened her eyes, and what met her eyes was the antique carved bed top, and the white washed and two patched tent.
"No way a sir ... playing for real?" She mumbled, her voice hoarse.
After a few minutes, she accepted the reality. She, a food blogger Lin Xiao Xiao who has millions of followers and is dedicated to eating all over the world, after editing a video of "Buddha jumping over the wall" all night, she honorably ... crossed over.
The original owner is also called Lin Xiao Xiao, is the Marquis of Yongchang House that has long been out of power, poor, the concubine of the young lady. Both parents died, leaving her with only a loyal old servant Fu Bo, and a marquis house that has long had no one inside except for the facade, which is still quite elegant.
"Miss, you're finally awake!" Fu Bo carried a bowl of thin porridge that could see people's shadows in, tears in his eyes, "The last bit of rice in the ... mansion, you quickly drink it."
Lin Xiao Xiao looked at the bowl of clear porridge, her stomach twitched. Thinking about her previous life, what kind of delicacies hadn't she tasted, now she had to worry about a mouthful of food?
"It's not a big problem, Uncle Fu." She spat out her mantra out of habit and sat up with strong support, "Can a living person still let his urine suffocate him? I'll go out and look around, see if I can find some way to make a living."
She walked up the busiest street in the capital from memory, smelling the aroma coming from the eateries on both sides, her stomach growling even louder. What way to make a living, all she wanted to do now was to sell herself for two meat buns.
Just as she was staring at a fat white bun, her eyes glowing green, there was a sudden commotion on the street.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! King Jing's carriage, idle people avoid!"
The crowd quickly parted to both sides, and a luxurious carriage that was predominantly metaphysical in color and adorned with low-profile and luxurious silver patterns sped in, surrounded by a team of guards.
Lin Xiao Xiao recognized the emblem on the carriage, it belonged to the current King of Jing, Xiao Jingheng. In her memory, this master has great achievements in battle, and the holy favor is strong, but his temper is also famously cold and hard, and he is known as the "living king of hell".
If it were usual, Lin Xiao Xiao would definitely hide far away. But at this moment, the hunger made her dizzy, her feet went soft, and she fell straight down in the direction of the carriage.
"Phew-!" The coachman was so frightened that he pulled the reins violently.
The steed neighs, its front hooves raised high, narrowly stopping three inches away from the corner of her coat.
The curtain was lifted by a bony hand, revealing a handsome but cold face. Sword brows and starry eyes, high nose, thin lips pursed, exuding a powerful aura of "do not approach".
"What is it?" Xiao Jingheng's voice was like quenched ice, without the slightest bit of temperature.
The leader of the guards, Chasing Wind, went forward to check and reported back, "Your Highness, it is a girl ... who seems to have fainted in the center of the road."
Lin Xiao Xiao actually did not completely faint, she just fell confused, plus hungry. In a flash of lightning, a bold (death-defying) idea took shape in her mind - touching porcelain! Or the porcelain of the king of hell!
The rich and powerful are in danger, the hungry die of cowardice, and the bold die of bravery!
She immediately covered her chest, breath as if swimming, began her performance: "Hey ... Aigoo ... my chest ... good pain! ... I'm afraid that ... I'm afraid that I've suffered internal injuries ..."
Chasing Wind frowned: "Girl, the horse did not touch you."
"Internal injury! It's an internal injury understand?" Lin Xiao Xiao dramatist possessed, coughed twice, "It is ... is the gas of the king's car driving ... shocked the five viscera and six bowels ... need, need to be well Heal and recuperate ..."
When this was said, even the corners of Chasing Wind's mouth twitched. The gas of the car driving? This bumper sticker was also too unskilled!
Xiao Jingheng's gaze finally landed on Lin Xiao Xiao. She was wearing a half old and not new dress, her face was pale (hungry), but her eyes were dribbling, permeated with a ... spirituality (cunningness) that was different from all the boudoirs he had seen?
A hint of extremely faint boredom swept across the bottom of his eyes, this kind of tactic of trying to get his attention, he had seen a lot.
"In that case, bring it back to the mansion and let the mansion doctor diagnose and treat it." He coldly ordered, preparing to lower the curtain. It was nothing more than giving some silver to get rid of the matter.
"Wait!" When Lin Xiao Xiao heard that she was going to enter the king's mansion, what's wrong with that? How could it be good enough to enter the Hall of Hades? She hurriedly "struggled" to sit up, "Your Majesty! My daughter ... My daughter's family is poor, really can't afford to pay for the medicine ... You see this ..."
Xiao Jingheng movement a beat, re-examine her. It was the first time I had seen someone say "want money" in such a ... straightforward and roundabout way.
"How much do you want?" He didn't bother with nonsense.
Lin Xiao Xiao stretched out five fingers, thought about it, and tremblingly added another five: "One, one hundred taels ... of silver?"
There was a sound of cold air being sucked in from all around. This girl can really dare to open her mouth!
The sneer under Xiao Jingheng's eyes deepened, "One hundred taels? Enough to buy ten lives like yours."
Lin Xiao Xiao shivered in her heart, but there was no turning back. She hardened her head and tried to make herself look pitiful and sincere: "Your Highness is clear! Folk daughter ... folk daughter this life is cheap, but it is also given by parents, do not dare to give up lightly. If the king thinks it is expensive ... payment in installments is fine!"
"Payment in ... installments?" Xiao Jingheng repeated this unfamiliar word, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"That ... means I owe it first and slowly pay it back in installments!" Lin Xiao Xiao hurriedly explained, "Or ... or I can still work off the debt! I can do everything! Laundry and cooking, sweeping and chopping firewood ..."
Xiao Jingheng looked at her eyes that suddenly lit up because of the mention of "cooking", his heart inexplicably moved. This woman was somewhat interesting.
He gave a wink to Wind Chaser.
Wind Chaser understood and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we have found out. This woman is the concubine daughter of the Yongchang Marquis House, Lin Xiao Xiao, her parents are dead, her family has fallen, and she is indeed ... poor."
So it wasn't to climb the ladder, it was just to survive?
Xiao Jingheng once again looked at the woman who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, obviously in a sorry state, but her eyes were bright and amazing.
"Chasing the wind."
"Subordinate is here."
"Take her with you and go to Marquis Yongchang's residence." He put down the curtain of the car, isolating all sight of the outside world, and his icy voice came out, "This king, will personally go and see how she 'pays in installments'."
Lin Xiao Xiao: "!!!"
Finished, played off. The debtor had personally come to her door to collect the debt!
She looked at the team of imposing guards, and the carriage that symbolized supreme power and nobility, and had only one thought in her heart:
Her crossing life, the opening is hellishly difficult - owed the cold-faced prince a hundred taels, this debt, how can she pay it back?
**The problem ... seems to be a bit big! **
