Chapter 121 Pretentious thoughts only hurt themselves
This afternoon, the most lively places in the whole harem are probably Qiluan Hall and Ningxiao Hall.
Ningxiao Hall is incomparable to say that it is the emperor's new favorite. Whether it is curious or flattered, it is inevitable to go for a walk. As for Qi Luantang, he must be more curious, but he doesn't know how much gloating he brings in these curiosity. Everyone wants to see if she can still be at ease and calm about her sister's sudden favor.
Of course, there are also many people who speculate that maybe the two sisters are not hostile to each other, or even mutually beneficial. Even Ling Yuechan's position was planned by Ling Xiao, in order to give herself a strong favor. Although there is already a Lin Xuanyu, it is not as reliable as the sisters.
In a word, you can think of anything. However, a question in everyone's heart is, why is such a superficial woman favored by the emperor? In this regard, everyone in the harem, including the queen and Xie Guifei, were shocked.
This matter is like suddenly throwing a big stone on the lake that originally seemed to be calm. Compared with this matter, the previous incident of the medicine concubine's training was like a ripple on the lake. It disappeared in an instant and had been forgotten to the back of the head.
Everyone is watching, how will this matter develop, and which side should I stand on? If the two sisters are in a group, Emperor Humei, will you fight against it or join its camp? These are all questions that need to be considered. After all, they involve the future in the palace.
"Is there someone outside again?" There was a deliberate low-pressing questioning voice from outside, with a little anger.
I don't know what the other party said. Qingwu couldn't control it for a moment, so he shouted a little and said impatiently, "Get rid of me out, and come to see jokes one by one." After a pause, thinking that it was not appropriate after all, he said, "That's all, just say that the little master is taking a lunch break."
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and suddenly opened them again. There was a trace of perseverance in his eyes. He went to the door and opened it. He looked at the two people who were stunned and said, "Let them all come in."
"Little Lord?" Zhu Er hesitated, "You..."
"Isn't not letting them in mean telling others that I'm dissatisfied with the emperor's new concubine? Isn't this more funny, saying that it's good that I can't see my own sister?" After saying that, Ling Xiao turned into the room, sat in front of the dressing table, and tidied up his bun.
Qingwu was silent for a while, and then said to Zhu Er, "Go down and bring in all the little masters. Don't show anything abnormal. At this time, the more they want to see our jokes, the more frank we have to be." After saying that, he went into the house to help Ling Xiao dress up.
When Ling Xiao stood in front of everyone, his ruddy face and divine eyes were no different from usual. This makes some people more firm in their speculation - if Ling Jieyu is not willing to be in the upper position of Xiao, how can she not be abnormal at all now? It seems that from now on, the status of the two sisters in the harem will become more and more prominent.
Only Lin Xuanyu's eyes revealed sadness and looked at Ling Xiao worriedly. And Lu Qianmo, who seemed to be calm, but also felt unusual. He looked at her deeply and turned his head to drink tea.
"Sisters, it's really windy today. Did you come to my sister's place for tea?" Ling Xiao greeted everyone as usual, and his smiling face could not be seen at all.
Seeing that she is so frank, others can't mention it too bluntly. What's more, most of the people who can come to Lingxiao usually get along well. If it's like Luo Shang, they don't dare to brazenly come to provoke.
However, there are always people who can't stand it. After pulling around for a long time, Liu Fangyi finally couldn't help saying, "Congratulations on my sister yet. In the future, if there are relatives taking care of them in the palace, it can solve a lot of missing relatives." In fact, she really doesn't mean sarcasm. She just wants to see Ling Xiao's reaction. After all, it's not a good thing for an unfavored imperial concubine like her to have another competitor.
Ling Xiao just held the tea, and his hand holding the lid of the cup paused slightly, and then naturally answered, "Yes, what Sister Liu said is true. Sisters, don't envy me."
"Qingwu, my sister has just been sealed. I think she is still very busy in the palace. You go there in person and say that I won't bother her. I'll visit her tomorrow." Ling Xiao said calmly, "Don't forget to bring the gift I prepared."
When she said this, everyone else also mentioned that she was going to Ningxiao Hall to send gifts to congratulate her. After chatting for a long time, everyone slowly dispersed, and only Lin Xuanyu and Lu Qianmo stayed.
"Are Sister Xuan and Sister Qianmo going to stay with me for dinner?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
The two just looked at her with a solemn face, without saying a word, as if they wanted to see through her. Gradually, she couldn't laugh. If you want to say something, just say it." Ling Xiao's smile gradually dissipated. He sat back on the chair, his head was slightly drooping, and his eyes were covered by the scattered bangs, and he was not at all.
"What the hell is going on?" Finally, Lin Xuanyu stepped forward, stood in front of Ling Xiao, and asked.
"Sister." After a long time, Ling Xiao finally couldn't control it and pretended to be strong for a long time. At this moment, the whole line collapsed. He hugged Lin Xuanyu and cried. He also resisted to cry, but the half-depressed sobs exposed the sadness in his heart.
"Don't ask me, don't ask me what's going on and why did it become like this? I don't know, I don't know." Ling Xiao shook his head in pain.
In fact, it was not only Ling Xiao, but also when Lin Xuanyu returned to the Xiguan, he was ridiculed by the oncoming Yao concubine.
"Do you really think of yourself as Ling Jieyu's sister? His own sister came, and she climbed to the sky step by step. Before she was lucky, she was directly awarded the title of 'concubine' from the people's daughter. How about you? How hard did it take to get to this point?"
Lin Xuanyu did not care about her. At this time, her mind was full of Ling Xiao's crying in her arms. Neither she nor Lu Qianmo forced Ling Xiao to ask. If she didn't want to say it, she wouldn't say it. However, she also knows something about the situation of Ling Xiao's family. She knows that Ling Xiao must be heartbroken this time.
I really don't know what the emperor thinks. Is the king's love really unreliable? Although she has long realized this, she also thinks that Ling Xiao is always different from others, right? But it turns out that they are all the same. The terrible thing is that Ling Xiao knew it, but he still fell into it. No wonder he was so sad.
"Well, who let me recognize you as a sister in my life? I don't care why Ling Yuechan falls into the eyes of the emperor, and I don't care what happens in the future. In a word, in the future, as long as you want, my sister will always be by your side. These are the last words Lin Xuanyu said to Ling Xiao before he left.
She is not a person who likes to talk about what she wants in her heart, but she also knows that at this time, a few warm words may make Ling Xiao feel better. Even Lu Qianmo left a faint sentence, "We are always here."
At night, Ling Xiao soaked in the water sprinkled with rose petals, and the green fog helped her knead her shoulders to relax. Then she settled down and thought about it.
Since Erlan said that it was she who watched Ling Yuechan walk out of the Zhenshun door with her own eyes, and it would never be wrong. So, why did Ling Yuechan come back again? Even if she lied that she had forgotten something and tricked the gatekeeper to let her in, how could she know that Feng Yuqi would walk that road at that hour? Ling Xiao didn't believe it. It would be a coincidence.
Also, why did Ling Yuechan know the importance of that necklace? Even if this is just her mistake, how could she agree so quickly when Feng Yuqi called out the name "xiaoer"? Did she know that a long time ago? However, Ling Xiao thought it was impossible no matter what he thought. Except for Feng Yuqi and her, I'm afraid that her mother Shen Murou is the only one who knows about this in this world.
Until the water in the bath was cold, Ling Xiao didn't come up with the reason, but there was a vague guess in his heart. Perhaps, Feng Yuqi accidentally revealed information about this matter at some point, which was recorded by a person with a heart, and this "with a person with heart" knowingly found a wonderful opportunity to use Ling Yuechan to attack her, so he secretly helped Ling Yuechan.
Ling Xiao is not very worried about Ling Yuechan's impersonation of her. She may know something, but she will never be too much. It can't be true, it can't be true. Even if she can pretend for a while, she can't cheat for a lifetime. About many details when I was a child, unless you have experienced it yourself, even a bystander may not remember it clearly, let alone a pretender?
That's the most contradictory and entangled problem for Ling Xiao - she can tell Feng Yuqi now that she is the real "Xu'er". As long as she admits that even if there is no token, her memory is the best token!
However, if this happens, Ling Xiao's previous plans will be completely overturned. If she wanted to say it, she would have said it long ago, and she didn't have to wait until today. She still hoped that Feng Yuqi fell in love with her now, not the nihilistic memory of the past, and not just to repay her life-saving kindness.
Ling Xiao suddenly patted the water fiercely, and the water with a faint rose fragrance splashed all over his face. Even she hates herself. It's ridiculous enough to pursue the so-called love in the palace. It's not enough for the emperor to like her. It's good that he can often come to accompany her and spoil her. Why does he have to care so much? Why are you so pretentious? Just because she is narrow-minded, just because of those pretentiousness, now it's better, but let others take advantage of it! Is this what she wants?
However, she just can't convince herself. Even subconsciously, she subconsciously had a more ridiculous idea. She wanted to see if Ling Yuechan would really be loved by Feng Yuqi and how long she would be spoiled. At the same time, how will Feng Yuqi treat her?
Ling Xiao felt that he was really sad and ridiculous. She thought that if Feng Yuqi had no concern for her just because of the appearance of Xiaoer, the love she had chased for so long would become a complete joke. If Feng Yuqi is determined to Ling Yuechan just because of his identity as Xiaoer, it will be enough to disappoint Ling Xiao. Even if he knows that she is the real "xiaoer", what's the point of his change of mind at that time?
What's more, even if you tell Feng Yuqi now that Ling Yuechan is pretending, is it too late? It has been sealed. You can't abolish her immediately, can you? Since this thorn in the eye is destined to be inserted in front of him, instead of making another fight, Ling Xiao thought, it would be better to regard it as a touchstone of the relationship between her and Feng Yuqi.
Of course, this bet is huge. If she wins, what Ling Xiao gets is the rare sincerity in the world. If she loses, maybe she will even lose all her life.
Whether you lose or win, every step is extremely difficult before the end. Ling Xiao insisted on being ridiculously and persistently.
