Chapter 127 It's hard for the two women to make a decision
That night, Feng Yuqi went to the palace of the noble concubine Xie Zhiqing.
Before clearing the enemy, be sure to let him relax. This is the way to deal with the enemy. This truth is not what Feng Yuqi said, but Ling Xiao also understands it. What's more, she doesn't want to be the target of public criticism. It's good to have a noble concubine come out to stand out. Even for her, even if Feng Yuqi went to visit the noble concubine, she would always go to Ling Yuechan's place.
Speaking of Ling Yuechan, now she is almost naked with the medicine concubine - she wants to please the noble concubine, but Xie Guifei's eyes are higher than the top, but she doesn't like her, a common girl. As for the medicine concubine, she should not like her very much, especially when the two have cooperated before, Ling Yuechan's stupidity made her despised. But for some reason, the two sides get along well now.
Luo Sheng is now a member of Ling Yuechan. In fact, from her point of view, she is very reluctant to provoke the medicine concubine again, but there is nothing she can do. She is not very influential on Ling Yuechan. Cheng Jiajie persuaded Ling Yuechan with just one sentence: "Xie Guifei is arrogant. Even if we take the initiative to turn to her, she will not pay attention to us."
And the medicine concubine is different. Even if it is the person she despises, as long as it is useful, most of the time it can be "unconventional use of talents". Even if Ling Yuechan didn't see her, it was Ling Xiao's sister, who could always use it. In addition, Cheng Jiajie, a counselor, made suggestions, and the medicine concubine was willing to accept the ally.
Qingwu is extremely unaccustomed to Ling Yuechan. Today, in Zhaoyang Palace, looking at her high-willed appearance, she was quite contemptuous: "Isn't she a concubine who has never been favored? It's thanks to her face. If it's someone else, it's too late to find a place to hide."
Ling Xiao filled the sprinkling kettle with water, watered the garlic planted in the yard one by one, without talking. Now it's the end of summer, and it's not time to grow garlic, but she suddenly remembered the pickled pepper and garlic sprouts pickled by her mother. For a moment, she really wanted to eat it, so she painstakingly found an open space in the backyard of Qiluantang and buried a few rows of garlic neatly. Usually, she watered and weed in person. She hasn't done any work in this field for a long time, but she hasn't seen anything strange.
Seeing that she was taking care of her acre of land with great interest, Qingwu couldn't help saying what puzzled her for a long time and said, "Miss, why didn't you tell the emperor what Concubine did before?" If the emperor knew, Ling Yuechan had tried to seduce him, but she couldn't steal the chicken, and she was looked at by the imperial doctor. It would be strange that she would have indulged to her! It's better to find out that she and the medicine concubine teamed up to frame the young lady and beat up all those bad guys.
"I'm stupid when you treat you as a lady?" Ling Xiao put down the kettle in his hand, gave her a white look, sat down and explained, "After all, that matter is not glorious. It will only make me feel ashamed to say it. And once the emperor knows, although it is not good for Ling Yuechan, it is easy to guess that I did it and deliberately led her.
Ling Xiao continued, "At that time, I just wanted to force Ling Yuechan out of the palace, but I could threaten her that she would no longer be unfavorable to my mother. Now that she has been canonized as a concubine, it is meaningless to mention this matter again. What's more, Dr. Kong has returned to his hometown. After such a long time, there is no evidence at all. If I go to sue the emperor now, there will be no benefit except for showing viciousness.
Only then did Qing Wu suddenly realize that he was a little unwilling. He muttered a few times and stopped talking. Looking at the wet ground that has just been watered, he looked forward to saying, "I don't know when these garlic will sprout?" Although she has been a slave since she was a child, she has never planted vegetables in person, and she feels very novel.
"Wait. When the time comes, they will naturally sprout and grow."
In the evening, Erlan came back and reported that there was another big thing in the palace, which was about the Ningxiao Hall. Yingchang didn't know what medicine she took wrong. After dinner, she actually quarreled with Xiaofei in the fairy pavilion in front of the Feixian Palace.
Ling Xiao reacted for a while before he remembered who Erlan said "Ying Chang Zai" was. "Didn't she calm down a while ago? What's the matter today?"
"I don't know who is often influenced by Ying Chang. She actually went to ask the Queen for an order to move into the Feixian Palace." Er Lan also felt that this man was very brainless and spent a good face in vain. "Of course, he was rejected by the queen. He was probably unwilling. After dinner, he went to the Fairy Pavilion and happened to be seen by Xiao Concubine."
Zhu Er added: "Little Lord, I have also heard about this. Xiao concubine saw that Ying Chang's appearance was somewhat similar to her own. She also heard that she wanted to live in her own Feixian Palace, so she humiliated her in various ways, saying that Ying Chang took advantage of her. Where can this Ying often be happy? It may be more reasonable to say that she is stained by the light of the little master, but that Xiao concubine came later than her! So the two of them quarreled, and even the queen was shocked.
Ling Xiao just sneered and asked casually, "What happened later?"
Er Lan stood there with a blank face. Zhu Er was a little unbearable, but she was a little gloating. She replied, "I heard that Xiao Concubine scratched Ying Chang's face. Ying Chang was disfigured and was looking for death."
This time, Ling Xiao was finally stunned for a moment and said lightly, "Wash and sleep. This palace is getting more and more interesting."
The next afternoon, an uninvited guest came from Qiluantang, and Cheng Xiaoyi came from Limotang.
For this Cheng Xiaoyi, Ling Xiao always holds a seemingly vigilance, and always feels that this person is very fake. It's normal for a person to be liked and annoying, but it's unnatural if almost everyone can say she's good. Ling Yuechan is by no means popular in the palace, but Cheng Xiaoyi and she are not affected in any way.
Cheng Jiajie never took the initiative to climb the door of Qiluan Hall. Today, she would take the initiative to come. Even Ling Xiao didn't expect that she would come to plead for Ling Yuechan. Because Ling Yuechan destroyed Ying Chang's face, the matter was serious. She was afraid that the emperor would be punished. Now she hides in her own palace and dares not go out.
"What does Cheng Xiaoyi want me to do?" Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"After all, Xiao Jieyu is your sister. Naturally, Jieyu will ask. Where does she need a concubine to talk more?" Cheng Xiaoyi smiled implicitly and dignifiedly.
Cheng Jiajie said a few simple words and left. Ling Xiao squinted and sat on the bamboo couch thinking about things. When Qingwu came in, he said to her, "Qingwu, it's not hot this day. Put away this bamboo couch tomorrow."
"Yes, miss." As Qingwu said, he went to find a thin cotton blanket, spread it on the bamboo couch, and said, "Miss, why does Cheng Xiaoyi care so much about Xiao Concubine? Why did you come to plead with you?"
Ling Xiao was also a little puzzled. She didn't know what Cheng Jiajie had thought, but... a strange color flashed in her eyes. It was really difficult for her to care about this time. Cheng Jiajie didn't seem to say anything, but she just said that Ling Yuechan was Ling Xiao's sister - her sister had something to do, and her sister stood by. This was not commendable.
"Forget it, let's go to the Ningxiao Hall." Ling Xiao thought for a moment, and still said.
This is the first time she has been to Ling Yuechan's palace. Ningxiao Hall, Feixian Palace, oh, there is really a strange feeling of floating.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the main hall, they found that the queen, Cheng Jiajie, Xu Ying and others were there. Xu Ying wrapped a piece of snow-white gauze on her left face, and she could faintly see the blood inside. It seemed that the injury was really serious. His eyes were red and swollen, full of resentment, and there were dry tears on his right face. At this moment, he was choking, but he couldn't cry again.
"Ling Jieyu is also here?" The queen seemed to have a headache. When she saw Ling Xiao coming, she hurriedly called her forward, "Ling Jieyu, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Ling Xiao smiled implicitly and saluted first before saying respectfully, "The queen is in charge of the harem. Naturally, it's up to you to deal with the harem. How can the concubine be qualified to put her beak?"
"Mother, you have to make the decision for the concubine!" Xu Ying probably recovered. When she saw the queen asking Ling Xiao's opinion, she was afraid that Ling Xiao would shield her sister. She was nervous and hurriedly howled.
Ling Yuechan is the opposite. She knows that she has offended Ling Xiao for a long time. How can she help her? Hearing that Xu Ying began to beg the queen to make the decision again, she immediately said, "Well, you are shameless. You don't look at anything. You just want to live in the Feixian Palace, but you are a maidservant!"
As soon as she said this, the people around her looked a little bad. When it comes to her origin, Ling Yuechan's origin is really not very good. What's more, now, it's true that she has ruined other people's faces. She not only doesn't recognize the mistakes she has made, but also makes personal attacks. Although most people don't have a good impression of Xu Ying, they don't have a good impression of Ling Yuechan either.
"Queen--" Xu Ying splashed without image, "The concubine's face is probably not good. Xiao Concubine not only does not repent, but also humiliates the concubine! My concubine is no more alive!" As he said, he wanted to hit the wall pillar, but he was pulled by Jasmine and an old woman beside him.
The queen has a headache, but now it is indeed Ling Yuechan's fault. She has to say to Ling Yuechan with a straight face, "Xiao, even if Ying Chang doesn't know how to be polite, you shouldn't ruin her face."
"Mother, my concubine is wronged! It's because Ying often commits the following crimes and wants to fight against the concubine. In order to protect herself, the concubine did not master the strength for a while, so... the concubine did not mean it. Ling Yuechan shouted injustice, but a well-eyed person could see the feeling of guilty in her eyes.
In fact, it is best for Feng Yuqi to make a decision on this matter. After all, Xu Ying is also the person he once spoiled, and Ling Yuechan is still a hot new favorite at present. In any case, the queen is not easy to do. The queen appreciated that Cheng Jiajie invited Ling Xiao here.
"Ling Jieyu, after all, Xiao is your sister. Why don't you say a few words?" The queen said to Ling Xiao in an inquiring tone.
In fact, Ling Xiao is more difficult to deal with than the queen. At least the queen also occupies the title of the lord of a palace. Even if it may not be in line with the emperor's wishes, as long as it is fair and reasonable, others can't find anything. As for Ling Xiao, if she doesn't help Ling Yuechan, she will be accused of being unkind to her own sister. If she helps, she will be said to be a cover-up. But at this moment, she also knows that it's not good for her not to open her mouth.
