Chapter 90 All because of Yuechan's quarrel
The next day, before going out to say hi to the queen, Ling Xiao exhorted again before going out. Unlike usual, this time she only brought Qingwu with her.
"Ling Jieyu, how many people are there in the palace, do you feel crowded?" When greeting, the queen asked, "Qiluantang is not spacious enough. When you were a talented person, it was quite appropriate, but you are now a girl, and there are more people to serve than before. What's more, now your sister is here again. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient?"
Ling Xiaoying smiled and gently shook the silver ribbon with her hair tied on her head. She joked, "Thank you for your concern. Although the Qiluan Hall is not very big, there is still no problem for more people. The empress is sympathetic to the concubine and has been saying that she wants to change the bigger palace for the concubine, but the concubine is a lazy person. She is used to living in the Qiluan Hall. It's really troublesome to change the land.
"You." The queen smiled angrily and said affectionately, "It's all up to you. If you don't move, you won't move, but your mother's sister has come from afar. After all, you can't treat her slowly. Well, anyway, isn't there an empty palace in Yilan Palace? Anyway, there is no one else for the time being. It's better to let your sister live there. You can be more comfortable by yourself, and you are still in the same palace, so you can take care of it.
Ling Xiao replied, "Although the queen is particularly graceful, the concubine is not from the palace after all. How can she set up another palace to live? Even if the empress doesn't blame, the concubine dares not exceed the rules."
The medicine concubine smiled and said, "The queen really loves Ling Jieyu. It's enough to love Ling Jieyu, but a common girl can even get the mother of the country to take care of herself."
"I care about the virtue of the sisters in the palace as the queen, but I think it's just Xiaode." Lin Xuanyu said leisurely.
This was shocking, and Luo Chang immediately asked, "What does Xuan Concubine mean? How dare you despise the Queen?"
Lin Xuanyu was a little un panicked and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Luo Xuanshi? I haven't finished my words yet. Don't you think that the queen cares for the women in the world and treats all the women in the world as sisters, which is a great virtue? I think this is the demeanor of the mother of the country, which can be called the real mother of the world!"
This is very clever. She not only praised the queen, but also vaguely told others that the queen did not deliberately take care of Ling Xiao, let alone valued a commoner's daughter. It was just that the mother of the country was generous and broad-minded. Sure enough, as soon as this was said, some people with red eyes looked much better. The queen also smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly, "Xun's mouth is really sweet."
Luo Chang was stunned and secretly annoyed. He wanted to take the opportunity to step on Xuan's concubine's foot, but she was beaten upside down, so she had to smile repeatedly and said, "What Xuan concubine said is that the queen's mother is in the world, and she has great virtue."
The queen is satisfied with listening, but the medicine concubine is not good. Although she is not ambitious to cove for the queen's throne, these words always make her feel that she is satirizing herself. No wonder she is just a concubine. After all, she can't compare with the queen! Looking at Lingxiao, I hate it in my heart. Can't I beat the queen and I can't fix you?!
"Sister Xuan's mouth is more and more clever, but it seems that we are clumsy." Qin Xiaoyuan said with fun.
Ling Xiao also said, "Yes, the Empress has always treated people very well, but the concubine is not good or bad. How can she really be more polite?"
"Ling Jieyu is saying that the queen doesn't understand the rules of the palace?" Xie Guifei, who had never spoken, suddenly opened her mouth and didn't say anything good.
Ling Xiao has been in the palace for a long time. How can he not understand these little tricks? It's just verbal twists and turns. This is a common trick used by the concubines in the harem. Picking thorns in the egg and enlarge the small loopholes in the words infinitely. Originally, it was nothing, but it can also call you a heinous and unforgivable crime, but others seem to sound quite reasonable.
If it was when she first entered the palace, she would have really panicked. However, at this time, she just smiled and said, "The noble concubine is really joking. She is always amazing. Naturally, the Empress is the most well-behaved. Aren't many of them exhausted and painstakingly determined?
"As for your question of the noble concubine, the concubine Xuan also said that the empress cares about the concubine and the house sister, which is the empress's mind and virtue. Naturally, it will never be wrong. It's just that the queen is the queen after all, and the concubine is just a little girl. Naturally, there is a difference between clouds and mud. The queen can enjoy the great grace, but the concubine can't help but see her identity.
What Ling Xiao said is not only to defend herself, but also implies Xie Guifei. However, Xie Guifei's Taoism is high. Anyway, she does not expect that a simple sentence can really be of great use. She was not annoyed, but calmly replied, "It seems that Qin Xiaoyuan is praising the wrong person. Ling Jieyu's mouth is more coincidental than anyone else, and I sigh."
Ling Xiao reported with a smile, "The noble concubine's praise."
"In the view of this palace, Ling Jieyu is not as good as the kindness of the queen. Although your sister is not from the palace now, who knows if it will be in the future? If there is such a day, it won't be against the rules. You don't even have to move the house. The two sisters still live in the same palace and take care of each other. It's great. At this time, the medicine concubine suddenly laughed and said such a paragraph.
This is true. The atmosphere of Zhaoyang Palace changed in an instant. Just now, although there was also a turbulence between several concubines, everyone was used to it. It can be said that it's not surprising. If it really doesn't happen one day, you have to wonder if something is wrong.
What the medicine concubine said not only made Ling Xiao's heart "cluck", but also the others changed slightly.
Although Ling Yuecicada only arrived in the palace yesterday, the medicine concubine should not know about the two sisters' disagreement, and naturally she will not deliberately use these words to disgust Ling Xiao. However, even if it is an ordinary sister, if one day the sister takes away her sister's favor, or even the sisters fight, who will be willing to let this happen to her?
However, she is still crooked. Isn't Ling Yuechan just wanting this? Although Ling Xiao is sure that Feng Yuqi's nature will not like that kind of unruly woman in any case, now he still feels a little uneasy to listen to such malicious words as Yaofei.
As for other people, of course, they are worried that there will be another difficult one in the palace. They have never seen Ling Yuechan, but they will not be bad. Just look at Ling Jieyu's appearance, you will know how bad is her sister?
What's more, they don't know about the Ling sisters. If they are sisters and companions, plus a Xuan concubine, won't the palace become their world in the future? They are not very popular with the emperor in the first place. If so, where can they live?
"The medicine concubine, I would like to say to you, my concubine, at least you are also the master of a palace, and you are in a high position. How can you be so silent!" Ling Xiao stood up and said righteously, and said with a little sadness, "The concubine is humble, and the sister is even more insignificant, but she is also an innocent girl's family. If you say so, our sisters just listen to it. If this spreads to the outside, won't it ruin her reputation!"
As soon as this was said, even the queen's face looked a little bad. She said, "Yaku Concubine, you should also have a degree of jokes. Don't say anything. You used to be a very measured and understanding person, and the emperor also spoiled you very much.
For the queen who has always been gentle, this is already a heavy word, and it also reminds the medicine concubine that the emperor's attitude towards her is not as good as before.
"Oh, Ling Jieyu is really a sister, which really moves me." The medicine concubine hummed softly.
Ling Yuechan just came to the palace, and it should be impossible for the medicine concubine to know the inside story. Ling Xiao flashed a doubt, but every word she just said was protecting her sister. I don't think anyone will take the opportunity to destroy it so soon.
He said a few more casual greetings. Today's greetings ended as usual. Occasionally, two or three people secretly exchanged a few words, but it was not a big deal.
On the way, after Lin Xuanyu and Ling Xiao separated, Lu Qianmo asked, "Is your sister here?"
When asked by her, Ling Xiao suddenly remembered and said, "Well, you'd better not go to my palace recently. Although it's been a long time, your current change is very different from that day, but it's hard to guarantee that she doesn't remember your appearance."
"Are you stupid? Of course, your sister has seen me, hasn't Luoshang seen me? I remember what happened that day very clearly. Luoshang, like his brother, was indeed a seed from a family. I recognized her when I entered Beijing. Lu Qianmo said disdainfully.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "They are different. You don't know my sister. Luoshang is the legitimate daughter of Zhixian County, and she has always regarded herself highly. You still look like a farmer's daughter that day. She won't pay much attention to you. Thinking of the old things, he said sarcastically, "What's more, Luo Liang has not only been unruly with you. He has flirted with a lot of good families. How can Luoshang remember you?"
That's right. Lu Qianmo thought that when he saw Luo Chang again at that time, Luo Chang didn't even have a trace of doubt at all. He even greeted her with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Miss Lu. We met each other when we were young. Usually, the ladies in Phoenix banqueted with each other, and we never saw you. Now it's big at first sight. You are beautiful."
"Then why do you think your sister will pay attention to me? Is it possible that she looks down on the daughter of a commoner? Lu Qianmo asked.
"Oh." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Although she is equally arrogant and self-righteous, but as long as it has something to do with me, how can she not pay attention to it. Although I didn't help much that time, I can know her well. As long as it is the person who appears beside me, she will definitely pay attention to it. What's more, we all live in Yilan Palace. It's hard to guarantee that she is not suspicious when she sees it.
Lu Qianmo was silent for a while, showing a strange and sarcastic smile, and said, "Your family is also very interesting."
"But I'm not afraid of her." At this time, he had arrived at the gate of Yilan Palace. After saying this, Lu Qianmo walked to Li Yuxuan.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said nothing more. Returning to Qiluan Hall, he asked Erlan and said, "Is she still at peace today?"
Er Lan took a look at the direction where Ling Yuechan lived and replied, "Today, it's okay. Shortly after the little master left, Miss Chan went to the courtyard and said that she wanted to go out for a walk. After the maidservant persuaded her, she took someone back. But..."
"What's wrong? There is nothing to say between our master and servant. Let me know if you have any concerns. Ling Xiao asked when she saw that she wanted to stop talking.
Hearing what she said, Er Lan said, "After all, today is the first day. Miss Cicada may still be more restrained. If so, it's hard to say. The maidservant can persuade her once, twice, and always stop her again and again. After all, Miss Cicada is a guest in the palace, and she doesn't seem to treat the prisoner.
Ling Xiao thought about it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Try not to let her run around. If you really can't stop it, send someone to stare and send someone to tell me in time."
"Yes." Erlan responded solemnly.
Unexpectedly, I just said this today. The next day, Ling Yuechan was restless.
Just got out of Zhaoyang Palace and was talking to Lin Xuanyu. Er Lan came over. Although she still looked steady, Ling Xiao still saw a trace of worry from her look.
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiao took a step away and asked.
Erlan walked to her and whispered, "Miss Chan came in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace just now. I couldn't stop her, so I had to take a shortcut and hurried to tell the little master."
