Chapter 84 Lian Kai and Di for a moment of red
Seeing Lin Xuanyu beside Feng Yuqi, the two talked happily, and Ling Xiao showed a happy smile. However, there was still a gloomy flash in the depths of his eyes.
Xinxue will continue, and the play she wants to arrange is over, and the stage below has nothing to do with her. Before long, she casually found a reason to leave first. And Feng Yuqi only cared about talking to Lin Xuanyu and didn't pay much attention to her at all.
"Are you really cruel?" It was not far from Shanglinyuan, and someone followed behind him. Ling Xiao turned around and saw that it turned out to be a strange beauty in red.
Ling Xiao answered the question and said, "It's rare to see you wear such a gorgeous dress."
Lu Qianmo smiled sarcastically and asked, "Aren't you the same? Since I entered the palace, when have I seen you dressed so much? After saying that, he walked a few more steps and whispered, "Is it really worth it?"
Ling Xiao was silent for a while, looked at the direction of Shanglinyuan, and said quietly, "It's not whether it's worth it or not. In this deep palace, everyone can't help it."
"Today, those people in the palace are the most rude, but they don't say a word." Lu Qianmo sneered and changed the topic.
Who is she talking about? Ling Xiao naturally understood and smiled, "In the New Year, it is a celebration. Even the emperor and queen do not easily beat people, but Yao's maid has scars on her face. She said she didn't hit her. Who believes it? The other two are even more amazing. They have color on their faces, and they don't dare to squeak.
"Who said no? You didn't see it. Luo Shang and Xu Ying sat diagonally opposite me. They rubbed a little powder on their faces, so they barely covered some marks. They didn't even dare to raise their heads for fear of being seen by the emperor." Lu Qianmo gloated and said, "I'm the best at running in front of the emperor on weekdays. It's good now. I'm afraid I can't avoid it."
The two sat in the pavilion of the imperial garden for a long time. They listened to the sound from Shanglinyuan getting weaker and weaker. They saw that the sunset glow in the sky was also spreading. It was getting up early, so they got up and walked to the palace.
On the way back to the palace, when passing a path, the voice of a young woman came from the side of the row of little yellow poplars.
This is a small garden of traffic, which is the only way for Ling Xiao to return to the palace, and it is also a place that people who leave the palace may pass through. And the row of small yellow poplars in a row, how tall is one person, and there are people on the other side? If you don't pay attention to this side, you can't find it at all. It's usually better. Today, because the trees are blocked by snow, the yellow poplar is like a natural barrier.
If you are from the palace, you will definitely not talk nonsense in such a place without guard. In the palace, any word, listened to by someone with a heart, may become a sharp blade for killing. Who can be so rash? Therefore, the woman who speaks must be a person outside the palace.
"Sister, what's the matter with you? It's okay if you don't want to go to the palace. Why do you want to pull me? I finally won the Ice Concubine. Seeing that the emperor and queen appreciate me, you jump out and insert a pole. What is this? You can't see my good, can't you?!" As soon as she heard this, she knew that there was no doubt that the speaker was Liu Qiya. Obviously, she had endured for a long time. Finally, when she waited until there was no one this week, she immediately became angry.
Liu Shiya's voice was cold, with a faint anger, and said, "Why don't I want to enter the palace? Don't talk nonsense! But remember, you are also the Liu family. It's not my business to kill the family.
Ling Xiao nodded secretly. Miss Liu was really a little capable, and one sentence shocked the concubine's sister. Liu Qiya said unwillingly, "You..." and then stopped.
It's just that she said again, and her tone slowed down a little: "I know you are afraid that I will offend the Ice Concubine, but you don't think about it. Even if you are not blessed to enter the palace, now the Empress also wants to marry you to the King of Rui. At that time, you will be the imperial concubine of the King of Rui. What about me? If you were elected as the imperial concubine, do I still need to show up like today? What am I doing? Don't I just want to earn a good future for myself?!"
Ling Xiao sneered with Liu Shiya over there. It turned out that she still doubted whether Liu Shiya was playing tricks on Liu Shiya's day and missed the draft. Now it sounds like she has been wronged. Liu Qiya is obviously eager for her sister to enter the palace. At that time, she will rely on her sister to promote herself. Now that there is no hope in this way, she wants to work hard by herself.
"Absurd! You, a lady in the boudoir, are not ashamed to say 'betrothed' and 'prostract'! If you are heard, do you still want your reputation, and do you want the reputation of the Liu family? What else do you want? Don't say anything else. Once your reputation is destroyed, you can wait to die on the palace wall!" Liu Shiya's volume is still not high, but the sudden murder in her words makes the listener feel cold.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ling Xiao and the others did not hear any more noise from there. When he walked out of this small garden and saw that Liu Shiya and the others were not far ahead, Ling Xiao somehow wanted to remind them, so he stepped forward.
"The most indispensable thing in the palace is the ear of the partition wall. Don't think that no one around can talk randomly." Ling Xiaoyou spit out this sentence and saw that the two sisters of the Liu family were pale. In the cold winter, their foreheads seemed to sweat. Before leaving, she took another look at Liu Qiya and said, "You'd better listen to your eldest sister. Don't force yourself to hurt yourself."
The two of them were so scared that they were in a cold sweat. After Ling Xiao left, they leaned down behind her and said, "Congratulations to Ling Jieyu."
That night, the emperor drove the Xiguan, which was naturally expected.
Ling Xiao sat on the stone chair in the yard, looked at the bright moon in the sky, raised the wine cup in his hand, and drank it all. She knew that he would not come again tonight. But isn't that what she wants?
How much have they prepared for today? It is impossible to practice horse riding in the Xixi Hall, so you can secretly practice archery in the yard. In order to create the amazing feeling in the snow, how many hair accessories have you tried? In case there is no snow on the ground, they even think about a preparatory plan; how much energy did they spend to get those white horses? How many days have you been careful to hide your eyes and ears unexpectedly? The heart held by so many days was not really put down until the white feather arrow hit the red heart.
It's okay. It's okay. These efforts are not in vain. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's smile gradually spread, although it looked so empty and fleeting in others.
At this moment, she had already changed her dress during the day, removed her hairpin ring, washed all the lead, and was spotless. She sat in the moonlight in a plain dress, and her thin body cast a long shadow on the ground, lonely and lonely.
The desolate back fell into the eyes of the man at the wall, which made my heart ache. I couldn't help taking out the flute at my waist and a sad tune came out of the tube cavity. The sad notes floated to all corners of the Yilan Palace, and the originally desolate moonlight became more chilly.
"Miss, the snow doesn't turn into snow. Tonight, the snow should melt. It's the coldest time. Don't hurt your body." Qingwu was persuading.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Isn't there wine, or the plum wine brewed by Sister Lin herself? How can it be cold if you drink it warm?"
Qingwu's chest was stuffy, but he didn't want to say anything more uncomfortable for the young lady, so he smiled and said, "Miss, the emperor treats you very well. Today, I was still worried that you deliberately dressed up to set off the little immortal, so don't belittle yourself. Unexpectedly, not only was Xuan Xiaozhu promoted, but you were also canonized as Jieyu. This is only one step away from the 'Mother'.
"Yes, where's Jieyu." Ling Xiao smiled, but he didn't seem to be very happy no matter how he looked at it.
Qingwu continued, "Even if it is the concubine of the little Lord of Xuan, in the eyes of the maidservant, it is mostly given by the emperor for the sake of your face."
"No, Sister Xuan must be able to get a place in his heart." At this time, Ling Xiao spit out such a sentence and inexplicably became firm, "What am I doing this for? Isn't it just to be able to take care of each other with Xuanyu in the future? If you still rely on me for everything, what's the point of doing so much? In this deep palace, no one dares to say that his love will never decline. What's more, the emperor can't protect me all the time, and most of the time he can only rely on himself.
The blue fog was silent. After a moment, he said, "Miss, many palace concubines will come to the palace to congratulate tomorrow. You'd better go to bed early."
"Where did the flute come from? It sounds so miserable." Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
Before Qingwu answered, Ling Xiao said, "Then go in." With that, he put down the jade porcelain wine cup in his hand, stood up and walked to the inner room.
If it's me, I will definitely keep you worry-free and happy for the rest of your life. Why do you have to work so much effort and be so sad! Looking at the thin beautiful shadow disappearing in front of my eyes, the sound of the flute also stopped abruptly.
The next day, as expected, many palace concubines came to congratulate. Ling Xiao sat in the main hall and received them one by one. At noon, he was already very tired, but he still cheered up and supported the face of a favorite concubine with a smile on his face.
In the evening, Qi Luantang finally calmed down. At this time, Lin Xuanyu came.
She looked ruddy and looked very energetic, but somehow Ling Xiao could always faintly realize that Lin Xuanyu was not as happy as she seemed. However, when they think about it, it will be clear. Even if they have achieved their goals, who is really looking forward to it when they come to this point? It's just helpless.
Lin Xuanyu sincerely regards Ling Xiao as a good sister. She also knows Ling Xiao's sincerity to the emperor, but now she lets Ling Xiao push her sister to her beloved. How cruel it is. Lin Xuanyu is not guilty. What's more, it's embarrassing for her to take the initiative to attract someone she doesn't like.
However, there is nothing they can do. Everything has a price. If they want to get a certain amount of security and remuneration, they have to pay equal sacrifices and chips. Fortunately, at least for now, they are part of the success.
The two sisters didn't say anything more. They didn't tacitly mention what happened yesterday. They just looked at each other and smiled, and then sat down quietly by the window to enjoy the snow and tea. The melted snow outside the window eaves fell on the bluestone board and splashed small splashes. When the wind blew, small drops of water fell on the skin of the back of the hand **, arousing a coolness.
Originally, I thought that Feng Yuqi would still go to the Xixi Hall at night, but I didn't expect that Ling Xiao ushered in the bright yellow figure.
Ling Xiaoqiang's strong smile did not avoid Feng Yuqi's eyes. His face was angry, and the people around him couldn't help but be a little trembling. The blue fog looked worriedly before he carefully retreated with other palace people.
"Your Majesty." Ling Xiao felt a little guilty and called him softly.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuqi was very rude today. Without saying a word, he pushed Ling Xiao down on the bed, tore her neckline fiercely, and was about to bite down.
Ling Xiao felt a chill in his neck and closed his eyes in fear, but he didn't feel a strange touch for a long time. Her eyelashes trembled and slowly opened her eyes, but Feng Yuqi was staring at her angrily.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Feng Yuqi asked.
Ling Xiao wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said, "Congratulations to the emperor for being a beautiful woman. Sister Xuan is both talented and beautiful, good at literature and martial arts, which can be called a generation..."
"Hit!" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Feng Yuqi. You can be a virtuous concubine! Unexpectedly, he pulled up the leather strip in this palace.
There was a twitch at the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth... Pull the skin-strip... What is this called? The emperor also learned to swear. She wanted to explain something, but she was hugged by Feng Yuqi and turned over in **. Half of her body pressed on her, closed her eyes and said, "Sleep!"
In this way, the two fell asleep with Yi. Ling Xiao has been too tired recently. Today, he has been lying with the palace concubines for a day, so even if he didn't sleep well, he still fell asleep soon.
In the dark night, Feng Yuqi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the well-proportioned little woman around him. She was really loving, pitiful and hateful. Finally, she sighed helplessly. Originally, she was angry and didn't want to see her. Didn't she want to push him to others? OK, then he will go to other women's side! However, I still can't let it go.
Actually, in the end, she will do this, isn't it because she can't give her enough sense of security? Thinking of this, Feng Yuqi had a deep sense of self-reproach, and his resentment towards Ling Xiao gradually disappeared. That's all. Since she wants it, let's fulfill her wish. I just hope she knows that his heart is only with her.
In this way, Ling Xiao's first New Year in the palace passed like this, and Lin Xuanyu also took advantage of the new snow to become the emperor's new favorite concubine. For a long time after that, it could be said that she and Lin Xuan's feathers bloomed in the palace for a while.
Although Ling Xiao knows that such a good situation will not last forever. If people have no foresight, they will have immediate worries. Only when they think about danger in peace can they last for a long time. However, what she didn't expect was that a few months after the Spring Festival, she received a letter from home.
Yue Chan is coming.
