The elegant and beautiful face is thinly powdered, hiding the haggard between the eyebrows. The thin silk jacket can't hide the thinness of the body.

It's Su Ying.

Su Ying followed Mrs. Su's side, smiling and greeting everyone one by one. Su Ying has been in the limelight in recent years and has the reputation of the first talented woman in Beijing. Everyone thought that she would marry into the prince's mansion and become the princess. I never thought that in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty.

Everyone looked at Su Ying's eyes, and they couldn't help but reveal a little pity and pity, and there was no lack of schadenfreude and good show.

These strange eyes made Su Ying very embarrassed.

Since the imperial grandson and Jiang Rongyue got married, she has been staying in Su Mansion and reluctant to go out, just unwilling to face everyone's mocking and ridiculing eyes. Today is the first day of the new year, and I can't hide if I want to, so I have to follow my mother into the palace.

As expected, it did.

Especially when she greeted Jiang Rongyue, the people around her widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, lest they miss the slightest bit of good show.

"Sister Su," Jiang Rongyue was still as affectionate as ever: "I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

Su Ying smiled lightly: "After the winter, my body has been cold, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and I have been recuperating in the house. didn't come out and walk around, which made Sister Jiang worried. ”

What the hell is going on, both of them know it. However, in front of everyone, the drama that should be done still has to be done.

Su Ying exchanged a few words with Jiang Rongyue with a calm expression before walking to Ling Jingshu's side.

"Sister Ling, it's been a long time." Su Ying said with a smile, not seeing anything unusual.

Ling Jingshu replied with a smile: "The weather is cold. I'm too lazy to go out and stay in the boudoir these days. Counting it, I really haven't seen Sister Su for a few days. ”

At this time, the side hall was full of people. It's impossible to find a clean place to whisper. There are also many people's eyes looking at them intentionally or unintentionally. Ling Jingshu didn't want to embarrass Su Ying, so she picked some inconsequential things and chatted for a while.

The gaze that fell on Su Ying gradually decreased.

Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief invisibly and glanced at Ling Jingshu gratefully.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly.

There is no need to say much to each other, and there are some things that can be understood by each other.

"In previous years, when I entered the palace, I had never seen the ladies of the Ling family. I didn't expect you all to come today. Su Ying implicitly tentatively.

Ling Jingshu didn't hide it: "Our Ling family received the queen's decree yesterday, and we only have the opportunity to enter the palace today." ”

Su Ying suddenly understood.

In just a few months, Ling Jingshu entered the palace several times. It is quite favored by Wei Jieyu and Princess An Ning. I heard that Empress Xu also looked at Ling Jingshu differently, not only summoned Ling Jingshu in person, but also rewarded her.

This matter has long spread throughout the capital. Ling Jingshu's name is also known to everyone. The ladies of the Ling family were able to enter the palace to meet them, obviously because of Ling Jingshu's light.

The two of them gossiped without a match, and there were more and more female dependents in the side hall.

Soon, a palace maid came to pass on Queen Xu's message. Summoned the English duchess into the palace for an audience.

was the first to be summoned by Empress Xu. It can be seen that the British government is strong. Even if the British government is firmly on the side of the prince, Empress Xu cannot be slacking off in the slightest.

Under the envious gaze of everyone, the British duchess led Jiang Rongyue to the main hall.

After a while, the palace maid came to summon the Duchess of Pingguo again.

The concubine of the Pingguo Mansion is now Princess Yan. Duchess Pingguo and Empress Xu are serious in-laws, and it is natural that they will be in the second audience.

Then, there is Mrs. Su's mother and daughter.

……

The ladies in the side hall went to the main hall one by one. From the order in which Empress Xu was summoned, it can be seen that the rank of Mrs. Decree is high. In the command of the same level. There are also secret sortings.

One qiē is methodical and not chaotic at all.

Although the Sun family entered the palace by the order of the phoenix. The grade was too low, and he watched everyone go to the main hall one by one. After waiting for more than an hour, there were only three of them left in the side hall.

Empress Xu has not been summoned for a long time. The three of them could only continue to stand and wait.

It was almost noon, and after standing for a long time, my legs were sore, and my stomach began to be hungry.

Ling Jingyan couldn't help but whispered: "Mother, how long do you have to wait, I'm tired and hungry." ”

After waiting for such a long time, the excitement in Sun's heart was also consumed, and he comforted Ling Jingyan in a low voice: "Don't worry, we are left." Wait a few more moments and it will be our turn. ”

Ling Jingshu stood aside, silent.

Empress Xu was obviously deliberately hanging the Ling family. Otherwise, they would have been summoned for an audience.

What she expected was good before, Queen Xu had no good intentions from the beginning. She had a hunch that this was just the beginning, and she didn't know what else would happen today......

After waiting for another cup of tea, the palace maid finally came: "Please ask Mrs. Ling to lead the two Miss Ling to the main hall to meet the queen mother." ”

Sun breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile.

The three of them followed the palace maid to the main hall.

The main hall, which was spacious enough to accommodate a hundred people, was already full of people at this time. Queen Xu, sitting on the phoenix chair, has bright makeup, dignified and elegant. There are high-grade concubines in the palace, who sit on chairs on both sides of Empress Xu. High-ranking ladies of the Order, such as the Duchess of England and the Duchess of Pingguo, also sat in turn.

The rest of the people waited only for the standing.

Even the noble crown princess can only stand on the left side of Queen Xu as a daughter-in-law today. Next to the crown princess, there was a young woman about sixteen years old, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, obviously the new Princess Yan.

To the right of Empress Xu, stood Princess Changping and Princess Anning.

As soon as Sun and the others stepped into the main hall, everyone stopped talking and looked at it together.

Silence!

Hundreds of people's attention!

This momentum, this battle, really tests people's hearts. If you are not careful, you will be embarrassed in public. Not to mention Ling Jingyan, who was young and had never seen the world, even Sun felt that her mouth was dry and her hands and feet were soft.

Ling Jingshu secretly sneered in her heart.

Empress Xu rules the six palaces and is the best at playing with people's hearts. This dismount was specially prepared for the Ling family. No matter who is out of the pool, the Ling family has lost enough people in front of everyone today, and it will become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

It's a silent contest, and for whatever reason, she's not going to throw in the towel!

Ling Jingshu still hung her head slightly, but her waist was straight, and she stepped in without hurrying.

Her calmness and calmness infected Ling Jingyan.

Ling Jingyan barely held back her fiercely beating heart, calmed down, and followed.

The Sun family walked in the front, and it was inconvenient to look back, but they could detect the calm and calm of the two Ling Jingshu sisters. The original nervousness has eased a lot. (To be continued.) )

ps: The two more are released together ~o(n_n)o~
