Chapter 21 Who knows the jade face and red makeup

Looking at such a Lingxiao, Shen Murou has a faint uneasiness in her heart. Since ancient times, she has been so beautiful, and she doesn't know what her daughter's fate will be. But there's nothing we can do. Everything is arranged by God, and I have no choice.

After saying goodbye to his family, Ling Xiao put on a big red head and followed the imperial envoy who was responsible for escorting the show girl on the road to the capital.

In the place where Ling Xiao could not see, Li Ye's face was gray, and his eyes were full of heartache, pain, reluctance and unwillingness, but he could only look at the fiery red figure silently and gradually fade away, leaving him with a lonely back.

Once, how he hoped that he could take her far away and never see the world. He drew eyebrows for her in the morning, and she picked up the lamp for him to mend his old clothes. She was white-headed and flowery.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have had such a hot and happy dream in this cold spring. No matter how low her status is in the family, she is also the direct daughter of the magistrate's family. Isn't she worthy of him?

In March, Lingxiaohua had not yet bloomed, but in Li Ye's heart, it was already a fiery red wreckage.

It is said that it is better to forget each other than to help each other. But he doesn't want to forget, and he can't forget. Even if she marries someone else's wife, he will keep her for the rest of his life and protect her for the rest of his life. His life, as early as the day he first saw her, was doomed to live for her.

There are also 17 other young girls, the daughters of officials of all sizes in Phoenix. Except for Lin Xuanyu, the eldest lady of the governor's family, other women's family background is not as good as Ling Xiao, so she is not humble among these people.

In fact, strictly speaking, Lin Xuanyu is not from Phoenix, but because her father worked here, the Lin family moved here last year. This time, she was escorted to Beijing by an imperial envoy with other beautiful girls in Phoenix.

"Oh, you... you're not..." Luo Shang just got into the car, took off the cover, and saw the red makeup beauty opposite, full of shock and incredible.

First of all, she was surprised that Ling Xiao had changed so much that she almost didn't recognize that the person with ice and jade skin in front of her was the little Ling's concubine! Then I thought, how could she appear in the show girl team? Could it be that Yue Chan has not been well since she fell ill? The Ling family did not want to give up this great opportunity, so they couldn't let the concubine's daughter replace her?

They are so bold! Then, Luoshang thought again that if this matter is true, the position of Lingguan will be...

Seeing Luo Zhang's appearance and uncertain face, Qingwu frowned. This man was so rude! Just as he was about to open his mouth, he was stopped by Ling Xiao's eyes.

Ling Xiao straightened his wide skirt and said leisurely, "This is really a coincidence. I didn't expect to sit in the same car with Miss Luo."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Before Luo Shang could think clearly, he answered casually, and then tentatively said, "I don't know, Sister Yue Chan... but in another carriage?"

"Miss Luo, Miss Yuechan was born by her aunt. According to the rules, the concubine's daughter is not eligible to be selected into the imperial city." Qingwu bit the word "concubine's daughter" very heavily. Although she has not been with Ling Xiao for a long time, she also feels unhate and angry for her miserable young lady.

"What..." Luoshang's face turned pale for a while. It turned out that she had always slod on the wrong person and inexplicably offended the master.

Ling Yuechan, you are very good at it! She almost flew to the branch as a concubine's daughter, which also implicated her! Luo Zhang gritted his teeth secretly.

However, she has never been a person who sits and waits for death. She changed her face in an instant. She came forward and took Ling Xiao's hand and said gently, "Sister, I don't know much about your Ling family. It's all that Ling Yuechan is too treacherous. In the past, she actually deceived me..."

"Since my sister has said it, it's all in the past. Let's not mention it." Ling Xiao hasn't forgotten what was tricked by them. He said so, and his face was very cold.

"Yes, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it. From now on, we will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the family, which is a big burden. If we don't take care of each other when we go out, how can we cross those trenches? Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Luo Zhang continued to talk and pretended to be close and said, "With my sister's words, my sister is relieved. From now on, we should be like our own sisters.

Ling Xiao smiled casually and didn't say anything. Luo Shang was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything anymore.

The wind brings up the soft curtain of the carriage, looming the world outside. The sky in Phoenix is so blue. In about two days, you will never see it again.

"Stop!" A female voice came from a carriage.

The imperial envoy waved his hand, made the carriage stop, and went to the side and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with you, Miss?"

"Lord Huo, it's been more than two hours. Why don't you have a rest?" As soon as the curtain was lifted, there were gusts of fragrance. Although I don't know what kind of face is under the cover, it can be seen from this figure and movement.

Huo Yurui looked up at the sun and said to the carriage, "At this time, the red clouds are blooming and the sun is tilting in the west. It was time to stop and eat, but there is no shop in front of the village and behind the village. I really can only wrong you."

"Does Lord Huo mean that we can't go all night?" Originally, there was a little anger in the warm voice.

"I can't do this, either, but please rest assured, as long as you go for another hour, there will be a post station for you to rest. Please be patient for a moment." Huo Yurui said patiently.

At this time, several other carriages also stopped, and some people even came down from the car with the help of the maid.

"Lord Huo, I don't know what you do. The emperor sent you down to escort us. Is that what you escorted?"

"That's right, adults don't know our identity, do they? We can't be liked by the emperor and become the imperial concubine, that is, your master. Even if you are unlucky and not selected, it is also a lady of the official. How can you be so snegle?

"This..." Huo Yurui is funny in his heart. Does he also want to enter the royal family with such qualifications? What did the emperor's vision look like?

"Sisters and sisters, since you know that you may be a draft girl who is going to enter the royal family, why don't you know the emperor's favorite woman?" At this time, Yiqingyue's female voice interrupted Huo Yurui. I don't know whether she intended to relieve him or really couldn't stand these spoiled ladies.

Everyone looked at the woman and saw that the other party's clothes were gorgeous. At first glance, it was not an ordinary little jasper, but they did not feel that she was too charming. Instead, she was very dignified and could not be ignored by standing among the crowd.

When the women who complained heard that someone refuted their face like this, they were very annoyan. They wanted to refute it, but they couldn't refute it.

Ling Xiao found that the woman's voice seemed to be a little familiar. Have you heard it?

At this time, the woman's maid said, "Our lady is Lin Xuanyu, the daughter of the governor of Zhizhou."

As soon as everyone heard this, they said in their hearts, no wonder she was so bold. It turned out that she had a good family background and was not afraid.

Otherwise, who dares to be so bold and offends others before entering the palace. The imperial envoy is just to escort them. When the mission is completed, they will go their separate ways. Why do they have to offend those who may enter the palace together in the future for an unimportant person?

Just as the show women were slandering, a gust of wind blew over and blew up Lin Xuanyu's cover. Although her face was soon blocked again, because Ling Xiao had been focusing on her, she still saw the appearance of the governor at that moment.

No matter what happened to the hearts of the beautiful women who complained, she did not dare to be presumptuous again. She said, "It turned out to be Miss Lin. My sister has eyes and doesn't know Taishan. Please forgive me. I'm also tired. I wonder when we all have suffered such hard work in the house.

"No matter how hard it is, we are also the people of the emperor. Even if we can't be the emperor's pillow, it is also the emperor's people. How can we call it 'tired'?" Ling Xiao stepped forward and said, "However, Lord Huo, your words are reasonable. If you are overworked and your body, it is not easy for you to explain to the emperor. Why don't we rest in place for a while and then go on our way?

In just a few words, it not only saves Lin Xuanyu's face, relieves Huo Yurui, but also makes the complaining ladies have nothing to say. Huo Yurui couldn't help looking at Ling Xiao. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he felt that this must be a smart woman.

"Okay, let's do what this lady wants. It happens that the weather is very good today. It's fun to have a lot of stars in the evening. It's fun to watch the night and go on the road. Huo Yurui thought for a moment and said to his opponent, "Let's take a break from the incense and serve the ladies well."

"Yes, my lord."

More than a dozen women waiting for the show got off the carriage, cleaned up a clean place by the roadside, and sat down to rest under the service of the maid. It is very desolate here, and the ground is overgrown with weeds. Although the servants have cleaned it up, many people can't help frowning, but after what happened just now, no one dares to complain.

"This sister, my sister is sitting with you. I don't know how?" Ling Xiao walked to Lin Xuanyu's side and said.

"My sister just sits down. I don't know what to call my sister?" Lin Xuanyu said politely.

"Sister, my name is Ling Xiao, and I am the daughter of the magistrate of Phoenix Prefecture." Ling Xiao sat down and said.

"It turned out to be Sister Ling. What my sister said just now was so awesome."

"Sister Lin made fun of me. My sister just saw that you sisters were really tired, but Lord Huo was the imperial envoy sent by the emperor. He couldn't let him look at our faces, so she dared to talk."

"Isn't your sister afraid of offending people?"

Ling Xiao paused and said with a smile, "You sisters are all virtuous and good women. They must be very generous. How can you be angry about such a small thing? What's more, what Ling Xiao said is true, so how can he say "I'm offended"?

There was a slight smile in Lin Xuanyu's voice and said, "Sister Ling, there is no one else here. You don't have to think about it like this. Let's just talk casually as our sisters."

"Naturally, Ling Xiao knew that her sister was a kind-hearted person."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Lin Xuanyu said strangely, this sounds like the two seem to have known each other for a long time.

"Does my sister still recognize me?" Ling Xiao turned his head slightly, lifted the lid a little, and smiled at Lin Xuanyu.
