Chapter 94 From the Phoenix Family
Ling Yuechan proposed to entertain the concubines in Qiluan Hall, but Ling Xiao strictly refused.
When Ling Yuechan saw this, her previous polite smiling face suddenly disappeared and said angrily, "Ling Xiao, don't take yourself too seriously! Do you think that if you become a person around the emperor, you can insult me wantonly if you are superior to me? I'm going to say good to the Queen. You won't let me. Now I just want to invite my sisters to get together, and you won't! Do you think of me as a sister or a prisoner?
Now she asked Ling Xiao if she had regarded her as her sister. Ling Xiao almost laughed out loud and didn't want to explain any more. She just said, "In a word, this Qiluant Hall is still my place. Don't think about it."
"You--" Ling Yuechan threw the chopsticks in her hand heavily and smashed them into the soup bowl. The soup splashed all over the table. She stood up and turned around and left.
"Come on, take these out and bring a few more dishes." Ling Yuechan just took a few steps out, and she heard Ling Xiao's calm order behind her, which made her even more angry.
Because I didn't eat anything at dinner, I didn't sleep long at night. Ling Yuechan woke up with hunger, and then she couldn't sleep.
"Come on! Zhu Lian! Bihe! Where have they all gone? Are they all dead?" Ling Yuechan shouted that no one answered, so she scolded loudly.
"Miss, miss, I'm here." Zhu Lian half dressed and ran to Ling Yuechan's bed in a panic and explained, "Bihe is a little upset. I'm going to Gong. What's the matter with calling the maidservant?"
Ling Yuechan grabbed a pillow and threw it on the ground. She shouted, "I don't care what you're doing. I'm hungry. Go and get me some food."
Zhu Lian said, "At this time, I'm afraid..."
"What? Now it's difficult for me to eat something, isn't it? Seeing that Ling Yuechan was going to be angry again, Zhu Lian hurriedly agreed, saying that she would immediately go out to help her prepare food.
When she moved the outside room, she began to feel distressed. At this point, except for the palace people on duty at night, they had already fallen asleep. Who else is ready to eat? But how dare she disobey Ling Yuechan's order? She can only try her luck in the small kitchen to see if she can find some leftovers or something.
It's also her bad luck. Originally, the small kitchen would leave some unfinished snacks every day, but today there is not even half a nest left. Zhu Lian cursed secretly and sighed. If she really couldn't do it, she could cook an egg soup by herself. Let's make it first.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even find a chicken feather, let alone eggs.
"Miss..." Finally, it was really impossible. Zhu Lian finally found a few dried osmanthus cakes from the side hall.
Ling Yuechan has been impatient for a long time. Hearing that Zhu Lian came back, she quickly got up. When she saw it, she was furious. She grabbed a piece of cake and threw it on Zhu Lian's face and shouted, "You went out for a long time and got so many things to do it?"
"Cough..." The osmanthus cake hit Zhu Lian's face and suddenly broke into powder. She coughed and said with a sad face, "Miss, I've looked for it. There's really nothing else to satisfy my hunger."
"Roll--"
Zhu Lian put those innocent cakes on the table tremblingly and ran away.
Ling Yuechan drove Zhu Lian away angrily. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She was so big that she couldn't find anything to eat! Among other things, the ingredients in the small kitchen are absolutely well prepared. How can there be no ingredients at all? This must be Ling Xiao's ghost, deliberately tossing her!
This was really guessed by her, but it's not that she has become so smart now, but it's just that she habitually pushes all her mistakes on Lingxiao.
But no matter how angry I was, I was so hungry that I had to use those pieces of osmanthus cake.
At this time, there was still a faint light in Ling Xiao's dormitory, and Ling Xiao was still leaning against ** to read the poetry collection.
"Miss, as expected, the second lady really sent someone out to find food." Qingwu waited aside and said with a smile, "Of course, there is nothing."
Ling Xiao smiled, "hum" and said, "Isn't she very angry? She even dares to fall the table in the palace. It seems that she is not afraid of hunger, so stand up."
Qing Wu smiled even worse and said, "However, I think the second lady will not be too hungry. The osmanthus cake put in the side hall is delicious, and it was also found by Zhu Lian. Such a maidservant is really hard."
"Okay, it's getting late. Don't stay up late with me. Go and have a rest quickly." Ling Xiao put down the book in his hand and said to Qingwu.
"It's okay. I'm not sleepy." As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help yawning for a long time, and her face suddenly turned red.
Ling Xiao gave her a white look and urged, "Don't go quickly."
"Well, if the young lady has any orders, please call the maidservant at any time. The maidservant sleeps shallowly and can hear it." Before leaving, Qingwu didn't forget to tell her, "Miss, don't be too late. It's not good for color."
Ling Xiao shook her head helplessly and slept lightly. Several times, she woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to drink some water. She shouted a few times but didn't answer her. Finally, she had to get up by herself.
However, it's really late at this time. Ling Xiao looked at the dark ink outside the window. He didn't know if the light was still on in the Qianyuan Hall. Thinking about it, Feng Yuqi hadn't slept at this time. I heard that the border has not been very peaceful recently. The emperor is so busy that he only sleeps for less than three hours a day.
Unconsciously, when I was thinking nonsense, I gradually fell asleep.
When I went out the next day, when I passed the yard, I saw Ling Yuechan running to the northwest corner with a pale face and panic.
"What's wrong with her?" Ling Xiao looked at her and asked as he walked out.
"I'm afraid Miss Er has eaten something bad." Qingwu answered solemnly, but there was an obvious smile in his eyes, "I heard that I have had a stomachache since the middle of the night, and the room over there is very noisy. Zhu Lian has gone to the hospital to get the medicine. Who can stand going to the toilet this time?
Ling Xiao was also happy when he thought of those pieces of osmanthus cakes that had been added with ingredients. It was specially made by Qingwu the day before yesterday. It was used to clear the intestines and stomach, and a lot of ba bean powder was added. This normal person can't stand it.
Originally, I thought that Ling Yuechan would have been at peace for a few days, but Ling Xiao underestimated her energy too much.
Only two days later, Luo Zhang sent an invitation, saying that he invited Ling Yuechan and Ling Xiao to attend the banquet in Qinpingyuan. If it's not that Ling Yuechan did it with her, she wouldn't believe it.
Of course, she is not interested in messing with their people, but this is obviously for her. It takes a lot of preparation. If she doesn't go, how can this play be sung? In order to live up to the warm invitation of Ling Yuechan and Luo Zhang, Ling Xiao decided to go.
"Sisters and sisters, this is Ling Jieyu's own sister, Miss Yue Chan." Luo Sheng introduced to the crowd very enthusiastically. The tone was obviously easy to be misleading, which made people think that Ling Yuechan was Ling Xiao's direct sister and also a legitimate daughter.
Look at her dress today, it is also a little smelly. The big red flower fairy skirt makes her skin more white. Her long black hair is tied into a snail bun that girls often comb, and she wears a silver silk red treasure on her head. It also looks dignified and elegant. These jewelry and clothes were still given to her by Ling Xiao after entering the palace. If she lost it, it would be Ling Xiao's own face.
Ling Xiao didn't explain, but just listened quietly to see what they had prepared and were waiting for her.
Today, Luoshang invited a lot of people for the reason of inviting the Phoenix sisters to taste the local flavor of their hometown. Naturally, it is not easy for everyone to refuse.
However, because of today's banquet, another person jumped into Lingxiao's eyes. This person is the person Ling Yuechan is talking affectionately now - Li Motang Cheng Xiaoyi, Cheng Jiajie, the daughter of the county magistrate of Fenghuang City.
Cheng Xiaoyi has been unknown after entering the palace, but at this moment, she is also stable and stands firm. Although she was not as popular as Luo Shang, Mu Junyao and others, she has never been involved in any disputes.
In those years, Cheng Jiajie had a good reputation in Phoenix. She was famous for being gentle and virtuous, with a noble temperament and was praised by people. It is said that a large part of the reason why she was elected to the palace is because of her good reputation.
Since she is a famous celebrity in Phoenix, she is naturally one of the objects Ling Yuechan wants to make friends with. Unlike other ladies, Ling Yuechan can be said to be polite to her, and even has a slight feeling of tling.
This makes Ling Xiao feel puzzled. Just like Ling Yuechan, how can someone enter her eyes? The point is that this person is not noble.
Originally, Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention to Cheng Jiajie, but now it seems that he is not a simple person. Thinking about this, I couldn't help looking at her a few more times. I have to admit that although she looks ordinary, it makes people feel very comfortable. It seems that she is a chastity woman with good character at a glance.
"Dear little lords, Yue Chan is rude. I wonder if you can call the little masters 'sister'?" Ling Yuechan asked with a smile.
"Why is Yue Chan's sister polite? Don't say that you are Ling Jieyu's own sister. If you are from Phoenix alone, you should be like a family. You don't have to be so polite." Someone immediately replied with a smile.
In Phoenix, many boudoirs were mostly friends with Ling Yuechan, so they also doubted the relationship between her and Ling Xiao, but in any case, they would not easily offend the people related to the emperor's favorite concubine.
"In this case, my sister will not be polite." Ling Yuechan said, took a pair of scrolls from Bihe's hand and said, "My sister has nothing else to learn, only painting skills can be seen at will. Today, my sister brought a hand-made picture of a lady. I want to ask my sisters to comment on it. I don't know if it's okay?
Hearing Ling Yuechan say that she wanted people to evaluate her paintings, Ling Xiao still felt strange. When will she draw? And it's also the most difficult portrait. In the past, when I learned to draw with her in the house, I was the one who was going to throw away when I saw the brush.
He was wondering and looked up, but he was looking at Ling Yuechan's malicious eyes. It made her feel awe of heart.
