Chapter 99 The Medicine Concubine Invites to Cuju

Hearing Feng Yuqi ask about Ling Yuechan, Ling Xiao's heart thumped, but turned to think about it and felt nothing. He only cares about himself before he asks about the people around him. It's a normal thing, and he's really a little nervous.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao also replied, "Yes, I've been here for many days. I have reported to the Queen before."

Feng Yuqi nodded, put one hand on her, gently rubbed it, and said with concern, "Your Qiluan Hall is not spacious enough. Now that there are a few more people, will it be too crowded? Or, I'd better change it to a bigger one for you.

"No, the Empress has mentioned this many times. I'm used to living here and don't want to move. What's more, although it's not very spacious, it's okay to live there, so there's no trouble. Ling Xiao politely refused.

Feng Yuqi thought so. If he came forward to arrange this matter, it would be like the queen treating the concubine harshly, which would make her look bad. Therefore, he said, "In that case, forget it, otherwise..." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, the Ningxiao Hall of Yingxian Palace is empty."

Ling Xiao really doesn't care much about the residence, but after listening to it, his heart is sweet. He said softly, "As long as you are by my side, it's the same everywhere you live."

"If there is anything inconvenient in the future, just tell me, or tell the queen." Feng Yuqi rubbed her hair. Even in the night, her eyes were still bright, with warmth that she did not have when facing others.

"The deep palace is lonely. I can't always be with you. Phoenix is really far away. It's not easy for my family to come here. Let your sister talk with you. In your spare time, you can go to walk around the palace, but don't get sick. Feng Yuqi chattered, but inside and out of his words was the care and guilt for Ling Xiao.

It seems that he doesn't know about Ling Yuechan, and he has rarely entered the harem recently. What's more, about not many people really have the courage to pass on those rumors in front of the emperor.

Ling Xiao didn't say anything. Although she had a headache when she thought of Ling Yuechan, she didn't intend to tell Feng Yuqi. If she wanted to say it, she would have said it when she asked her father at that time. She doesn't have to hide those things from her childhood. Don't mention everything about that family.

"Well, I know." Ling Xiao replied, but heard a shallow breathing sound in his ear. It turned out that Feng Yuqi had fallen asleep unconsciously. She sighed and helped him put his hand into the quilt. It seems that I'm really tired.

In this way, Ling Xiao can't bear to bother him with his trivial things.

The next day, Feng Yuqi still got up very early. After Ling Xiao served him to change his clothes and wash, and sent him out to court to see the time. It was time for him to say good to the queen.

Today's weather is quite good. It's much cooler than the previous days, especially in Shanglin Garden. The tall trees cover the sky and the grass is fragrant. It's really a good place to cool down.

After coming out of Zhaoyang Palace, the medicine concubine proposed to go to Zhongju in Shanglinyuan, and many concubines responded one after another.

There are not so many restrictions on women in this dynasty, and many women in the folk know more or less about simple sports. Even the ladies in the back house, who have nothing to do, will invite three or five boudoir friends to jump rope, kick the shuttlecock and so on. However, there are fewer people who can play ball games like Cuju.

However, because Emperor Feng Yuqi himself likes Cuju, in order to cater to him, everyone in the harem likes it even if they didn't like it. It's always good to practice more if you have nothing to do. Maybe one day, if you have the opportunity to play, you will be in the eyes of the emperor. What's more, this time it's the medicine concubine's invitation in person. Naturally, the concubines can't miss this opportunity to welcome.

Ling Xiao happened to walk aside. He wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but she didn't expect that the medicine concubine took the initiative to ask her, "Ling Jieyu, you are now the number one person on the tip of the emperor's heart. The emperor likes Cuju the most. Think about it, Ling Jieyu and the emperor must have a common hobby, right?"

The words of the medicine concubine can be said to be poisonous. Although in the palace now, everyone knows that Ling Xiao is quite favored by the emperor, but when they know it, they hear people mention it over and over again, and the feeling is different. In particular, this came from the mouth of the medicine concubine.

Compared with others, the medicine concubine is already relatively favored, and the position is high. However, now even she has to "praise" Ling Xiao in public as the emperor's "top of the heart" and "the number one person"! What does it feel like in the ears of those unfavored and low-ranking palace concubines?

Moreover, the meaning of the medicine concubine's words is that Ling Xiao must also know Cuju. In this way, there is a certain reason why she can get the emperor's love. But what if Ling Xiao can't? For those concubines who are good at Cuju, they are even more unconvinced and unwilling!

Looking at the women around him who have changed their color, how could Ling Xiao not hear these meanings in the words of the medicine concubine? It seems that she can't go today. Therefore, he smiled calmly and said, "I don't dare to be a concubine. The number one person on the tip of the emperor's heart is naturally the queen."

As soon as this came out, the medicine concubine was speechless. Naturally, she could not deny it. Ling Xiao said again, "As for Cuju, the concubine is really good at it. Since the Empress invited her in person and there are so many sisters to accompany her, the concubine is naturally rude."

After listening to this, the medicine concubine smiled and said, "Ling Jieyu is really versatile. The emperor really didn't see the wrong person."

Ling Xiao sneered in his heart. The words of the medicine concubine really didn't waste any words at all, and she could always provoke thorns. She also replied politely, "How can it be? I heard that the Empress has a good kick when she is in the boudoir. After accompanying the emperor, he can be like-minded with the emperor, which will last forever.

"Ling Jieyu is really funny." The medicine concubine had no intention to argue with her tongue again. She didn't know what she thought of, and the smile in her eyes became stronger and stronger. Before leaving, she said, "Since Ling Jieyu is very good at Cuju, your sister must not be bad. Let's call her together after lunch."

After saying that, he left. There was no room for Ling Xiao's refusal. Moreover, Ling Xiao just said it. Why did he say the word "extremely good"? If Ling Xiao behaves very ordinary at that time, won't he be laughed at? The medicine concubine is really easy to calculate.

However, you won't succeed. Ling Xiao looked at the direction in which Concubine Yao left and smiled. She is not as spoiled as an ordinary lady. For her, Cuju or something is simply too trivial. When she was a child, she went up to the tree, went down the river, dug out bird eggs, and fish. What didn't she do? What's more, it's just Cuju.

Speaking of which, these are all taught to her by Li Ye. Originally, before I met Li Ye, Ling Xiao's life was very boring. There was basically no entertainment except for helping his mother do housework every day. At most, when my mother is free, I will tell her a story, and the mother and daughter will play some small games.

Without friends, it is very lonely for children, and Ling Xiao is no exception. No matter how sensible I am, I still hope that someone can play and laugh together. Later, a wind appeared, and a Li Ye appeared.

Although Feng Yuqi disappeared soon after he appeared, and it didn't appear again until a long time later. Before that, for a long period of time, it was Li Ye who accompanied Ling Xiao.

The last time I saw Li Ye, it seemed to be a long time ago. In fact, it doesn't take too long to calculate carefully. However, since entering the palace, all kinds of things have happened one after another. It's too late for Ling Xiao to deal with what's in front of him. There is no time and energy to miss the past.

Li Ye, it seems that I haven't thought of him for a long time. At this moment, suddenly thinking about it, Ling Xiao suddenly had an inexplicable feeling... he couldn't say it.

Shake your head and stop thinking about it.

Returning to Qiluan Hall, he happened to see Ling Yuechan in the yard. Ling Xiao walked over and told her. Then, he made a special explanation, "Go and go, but don't make any more moths."

Ling Yuechan agreed happily.

However, when he returned to the inner room, Ling Xiao always felt that something was wrong, so he asked Erlan, "Do you think Ling Yuechan's reaction is a little strange?"

Er Lan frowned and replied, "It seems that the little master said this."

Last night, Zhu Er made a small plan and cheated Ling Yuechan back. With her nature, after knowing that Feng Yuqi had come later, she was bound to make trouble. However, she was a little strangely quiet.

Especially just now, Ling Xiao asked her to prepare to participate in the Cuju competition organized by Yaofei in the afternoon. She agreed with a smile, as if she was not surprised, let alone a special surprise. It seems that it has been known for a long time that there will be such a thing.

According to reason, Ling Yuechan and the concubines in the palace did not intersect with anyone else except Luo Chang, not to mention the high-ranking person like the medicine concubine. Even if she didn't say the intention of the medicine concubine, let's talk about Ling Yuechan, she suddenly learned that the medicine concubine was invited. With her powerful and noble personality, she should be particularly surprised?

Is it possible that someone deliberately arranged this matter today? Is there anything hidden in Cuju in the afternoon? Is there a relationship between Yaofei and Ling Yuechan?

"Have you been dealing with people outside recently?" Ling Xiao asked.

"No." Er Lan replied affirmatively, "Even Luo Xuanshi has never been there, Miss Chan has never been there, and there are no other suspicious people in the palace."

Ling Xiao pondered for a while and explained, "Find me a shorter skirt. Go to Shanglinyuan in the afternoon and be careful."

"Yes." Erlan nodded.

"Little master, lunch time is coming soon. Why don't we have a meal first?" Qing Wu saw Ling Xiao's solemn face and asked.

"It's good." Ling Xiao nodded and agreed, got up and went out to eat.
