Aunt Qiao's face changed greatly, what did Ling Haoyue mean when she mentioned His Royal Highness the Prince, did she know......
Impossible, Aunt Qiao shook her head in her heart, it was impossible for Ling Haoyue to know such a hidden thing.
"Mother Zhou, you go, take Aunt Qiao back to the yard and ground!"
I don't know why, when Mrs. Ling heard Ling Haoyue call herself the palace, she faintly felt as if she had seen Princess Anding back then, although Princess Anding had a gentle temperament on weekdays, but in the end, she was a princess from the royal family, and she had the majesty of the royal family in every move.
This time, Aunt Qiao didn't dare to struggle anymore, her heart beat a drum, and she obediently returned to her yard.
In the front hall, Old Madam Ling ordered all her subordinates to go out, and even several of Ling Guogong's aunts and concubines also let them retreat, leaving only a few serious masters present.
"Mother, what do you want to say?" Ling Guogong asked.
Old Madam Ling gave him a blank look: "What are you anxious about!"
Zhao took over: "Grandpa Guo is afraid that he is in a hurry to go to Ruxiang Garden." โ
"You are talking nonsense!" Ling Guogong glared at Zhao viciously.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Old Madam Ling hurriedly scolded: "Okay! What are you doing here! In front of the old woman, you still dare to shout." And Yue'er is also here, so you are not ashamed. โ
Quarreling in front of his own mother and niece, Ling Guogong felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it, and hurriedly coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment. And Zhao was silent.
"Since Aunt Qiao arrived at the mansion, our Lingguo Mansion has not been peaceful. Old Madam Ling got angry when she said that, she was just thinking of a woman, and she couldn't afford to make a big prodigal, but she almost made the whole house jump with chickens and dogs.
"Mother, I think it's because Wanrou has been at peace since she came back from Baiyun Temple. Ling Guogong directly pushed everything onto Ling Wanrou.
"You're talking nonsense, what's the matter with Rou'er. Zhao hurriedly retorted, his face pale with anger.
Ling Guogong snorted coldly: "Is it nonsense, you know it in your own heart." Because of her, I have no military power in southern Xinjiang, and now His Majesty finally gave me the military power of city defense, and she made such a big scandal at the palace banquet, and my Lingguo Mansion was inevitably ridiculed by my colleagues. โ
What Ling Guogong said was quite reasonable. Zhao didn't let him lead the way.
"The military power of the city defense was given by Rou'er because of Rou'er's accident at the palace banquet, and His Majesty took pity on it, and this military power was simply exchanged for Rou'er's reputation. โ
"Joke! A woman will influence who His Majesty will give military power? โ
After Ling Guogong said this, he was immediately slapped in the face.
"Master Fang Cai also said that the military power in southern Xinjiang was lost because of Rou'er. โ
"You ......"
"Okay! Old Madam Ling hurriedly persuaded her.
"Right now, it's time to clean up the mess in the house. Aunt Qiao is a concubine given by the queen, and if she can't take a break, then she will be confined to the courtyard and will not be allowed to come out without my permission. โ
When Zhao heard that the old lady was dealing with Aunt Qiao, she felt a little more comfortable, but the next sentence of the old lady Ling completely made her desperate.
As for Wanrou, let her go to the family temple for a while. โ
"Why!" Zhao almost didn't jump up, "Old lady, Wanrou is innocent, why should she go to a place like the family temple, the family temple is only for people who have made mistakes, Wanrou can't go!"
"Auntie, don't worry, grandmother must have a reason for doing this. โ
"Princess Bo is relieved, Mrs. Ben will naturally not contradict her mother-in-law. "The Zhao clan wouldn't believe that Ling Haoyue would be so kind.
Of course, Ling Haoyue was not kind, and let Ling Wanrou make a fuss for so long, it was time for her to shut up.
Old Madam Ling valued Ling Haoyue the most at the moment, and as soon as she heard the Zhao family's yin and yang strange tone, she could say in a deep voice: "Zhao, you still know that Yue'er is a princess, and you can't be rude in front of the princess." โ
The Zhao family was holding back the fire in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything serious, Ling Wanrou was in danger at the moment, and she had to bow her head.
"The daughter-in-law didn't dare. โ
Ling Guogong agreed with Mrs. Ling's words: "What my mother said is that this mansion should indeed be cleaned up, and my son has no opinion, but in the past, the mansion was taken care of by the Zhao family, but now that the mansion is so messy, my son feels that it is not necessary to change someone else to take care of it." โ
Old Madam Ling was a little strange, she thought that Aunt Qiao was going to be grounded, but the Ling Kingdom Guild didn't agree, why did she agree so quickly now.
"Who do you want to change?"
"Master, are you trying to deprive me of the right to be in charge of the family? Over the years, I have worked hard for this family, and you want to wipe out everything with a word, master?" Zhao was completely cold, and there was a faint sense of grievance in his tone.
"Who said you won't be in charge. Ling Guogong was a little weak-hearted.
"It's up to you to do this, but the cleanup of the people in the house will be handed over to the mother. โ
Old Madam Ling frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "The old woman has been doing things for many years, I'm afraid that I have more than enough heart and not enough strength, I think this matter should be left to Yue'er." โ
It is true that Old Madam Ling left Ling Haoyue with the same meaning.
"This ...... It's not good. Ling Haoyue waved her hand and excused herself, "Haoyue is just a daughter who stays in the boudoir all day, how can she do this? โ
Old Madam Ling disagreed, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, you are quick-witted, you have your father's demeanor, if you want to come to Qian'er, he can command thousands of troops, and you can also do it in the backyard, grandmother believes in you." โ
Ling Haoyue smiled: "Grandmother, you are tormenting Haoyue." โ
At the mention of Ling Yuanqian, a trace of sadness flashed in Ling Haoyue's eyes: "Father is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but unfortunately Haoyue is a daughter and cannot inherit her father's will." โ
Old Madam Ling's heart was soft, and she said: "Yue'er, just because you are your daughter's family, seeing that you are about to get married, you just want to learn to be in charge of the family, and there is no serious hostess in the Taifu Mansion, you have to be in charge of the family when you marry, and it is good to learn more at this time." โ
When Zhao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Old lady, Haoyue is going to marry her, but Rou'er is also going to talk about marriage, but you want to send her to the family temple, are you going to give up on her?"
Old Madam Ling frowned, and said: "I'm also doing this for Rou'er's good, now that her reputation is bad, she just goes to the family temple, and she will come back when the limelight is over." โ
"Old lady, but where is that temple where a girl from Rou'er can stay, if you want to avoid the limelight, you can go out directly in the house. "The Zhao family didn't think that Old Madam Ling was really thinking about Ling Wanrou.
The dead old woman clearly disliked Rou'er for being flattering and smeared the Lingguo Mansion.
"Zhao, mother is also thinking about Rou'er. Ling Guogong scolded coldly.
"No, Rou'er can't go to the family temple, maybe what will become of her when she comes back from the family temple. The Zhao family was resolutely opposed, and she could see that the old lady and Ling Guogong simply regarded Ling Wanrou as an outcast.
"Zhao, Wanrou is so spoiled by you, she must go to the family temple, leave today!" Ling Guogong was ruthless.
"You, you are so ruthless......" Zhao pointed at Ling Guogong and Old Madam Ling, and then he didn't come up in one breath and fainted.
โฆโฆ
Zhao fainted, and when she woke up, Ling Wanrou had already been sent away.
In the green bamboo garden
Lily of the valley told Ling Haoyue the news she had just heard with relish.
"Princess, I heard that the eldest lady had a big fire, but Mother Zhao couldn't persuade her, and in the end, the eldest young master came back, and the eldest lady gradually rested. โ
Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "That's her biological daughter, she has been spoiled since she was a child, how can she not be angry?"
"That was also made by the eldest lady herself, and the charming bone fragrance was clearly used by her to calculate Wen Qingyao, but unfortunately Wen Qingyao was not fooled at all, and secretly exchanged teacups with her. Qing Dai scoffed, Ling Wanrou really doesn't have a long brain, in the palace, according to her little means, she still wants to turn out the big prodigal.
"Ling Wanrou is proud and conceited, she thinks she is very smart, and it is too easy to use her. โ
Qing Dai smiled: "Yes, the princess is still smart, princess, you have already guessed who is using the eldest lady?"
Lily of the valley also pricked up her ears and waited quietly for Ling Haoyue to reveal the answer.
Only Xiao Yao knocked the melon seeds and said with a smile: "Of course, my sister is the smartest." โ
Ling Haoyue smiled and touched Xiao Yao's round little head and said, "Our Xiao Yao is also very smart. โ
Xiao Yao smiled sweetly back, and then continued to bury his head in the battle with the melon seeds.
"That person is actually going to calculate Wen Qingyao, but he doesn't want to come forward, it just so happens that Ling Wanrou stole the limelight from Wen Qingyao's dance, and she was really angry, that person only needs to add fuel to the fire, and Ling Wanrou will naturally be fooled. โ
Ling Haoyue took a sip of tea and continued: "It's not easy for someone to have a strong medicine like Mei Guxiang, and it's at the palace banquet, except for the lady in the palace, who else can be so bold. โ
Qing Dai knew a little about several ladies in the palace, and said thoughtfully: "The palace banquet is hosted by the queen, if it is except for the chachi, Your Majesty will definitely blame, it should be unlikely to be the queen." And Concubine Yun, she seems to want Wen Qingyao to be her daughter-in-law, so she shouldn't ruin Wen Qingyao. Although the imperial concubine favors the harem, she and Wen Qingyao have no grievances, so who is it?"
"It seems that there is no reason to do this, but it is very likely that it was deliberately covered up, and it is possible for the queen and Concubine Yun. "Ling Haoyue was in the palace in her previous life, but she had personally seen the queen and Concubine Yun fight at all costs in order to compete for that position, and it can be said that they did everything.
Qing Dai smiled: "Princess, why don't you say that the imperial concubine is also possible?"
"You girl, you're still here to make fun of the palace. Ling Haoyue flicked lightly on Qing Dai's forehead.
"The princess spares her life, the slave and maid don't dare to laugh at the princess anymore. Qing Dai smiled.
"The imperial concubine seems to be the most favored, but in fact, the position is the most on thin ice, and she doesn't care about idle things every day. Ling Haoyue could see clearly, at the palace banquet, the imperial concubine could not speak without talking throughout the whole process, she was basically talking for herself when she spoke, it was obvious that this was all Qi Yan's meaning.
"Princess, the Queen Mother often says that the imperial concubine and Concubine Mei in the palace are all safe, and Your Majesty will protect the mother for the sake of Nanqi, so you don't have to worry. Qingdai said with a smile.
Ling Haoyue suddenly looked stunned: "Concubine Mei......"
"Princess, did you think of something?" asked Qing Dai cautiously, her voice very soft, for fear of disturbing Ling Haoyue's thoughts.
"At the palace banquet, I didn't seem to see Qin Qingyun. Ling Haoyue thought about it carefully, and indeed did not see any trace of Qin Qingyun.
Qing Dai also thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem to be true." โ
"Princess, you don't suspect Princess Qingyun, right?" said the representative was slightly surprised, "Princess Qingyun has a gentle temperament, so she shouldn't conflict with Wen Qingyao." โ
"Gentleness, I'm afraid there's something inside. Ling Haoyue's eyes condensed slightly, "Qin Qingyun's ability is not small. โ
From the dragon's skill, not anyone has it, and Qin Qingyun, a woman in the deep palace, did it in her previous life......
