025 - The Eve of the Banquet
The eldest lady glanced at Song Linglong, tilted her head and signaled her to be restless, and then said to the old lady with a smile on her face: "Old lady, Linglong is still young, and the occasions in the palace are not suitable for her." I'm afraid if she does something wrong, it's not good. ”
The old lady glanced at Song Linglong, her eyes were a little dissatisfied, and she couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Still young? When Lingyu was her age, she had already attended banquets held by big families and even palaces! ”
"This ......" The eldest lady was speechless for a while, glanced at Song Lingyu, and motioned for Song Lingyu to help say something. Song Lingyu couldn't understand what the eldest lady meant, so she immediately raised a smile and said to the old lady: "Old lady, don't blame Linglong." Although Linglong's age is indeed not young, but what my mother said is right, this is a banquet in the palace, if something goes wrong, it will affect our whole family. The old lady said the same, but after all, I am the eldest daughter, and I naturally have to give the Song family face on those occasions, and I will get used to it when I go. ”
In Song Lingyu's words, neither the eldest lady nor the old lady should be offended, but it sounded different. That's right, Song Linglong is not young, she can be on her own when she was her age, but she is like a delicate flower, she can't be blown or dried. I don't know how much more extensive my knowledge is than Song Linglong. Besides, this is a banquet in the palace, and the rules are very strict, if something goes wrong, the whole family has to pay compensation to the royal family for Song Linglong, which is not worth it.
Song Lingyu accurately grasped the old lady's thoughts. The old lady has always been reluctant for the eldest lady and Song Yuan to favor Song Linglong, and she can naturally hear the casual sarcasm in Song Lingyu's language. At that moment, the old lady looked angry: "Okay! If you don't go, you won't go, lest outsiders say that I, an old woman, are too harsh on you. ”
Song Linglong was at a loss for a moment, she didn't know that the old lady would suddenly be so angry, and suddenly knelt down in a panic: "Old lady, please don't be angry." ”
The eldest lady glared at Song Lingyu fiercely, and Song Lingyu took a step back and lowered her head. The old lady saw the eldest lady's expression and Song Lingyu's fear in her eyes, and suddenly took the case: "Needless to say, this time to go to the palace, Linglong must go." This is a banquet held by the Queen Mother herself, if Linglong doesn't go, wouldn't it be a face-saving for the Queen Mother?! ”
The eldest lady bowed her head hatefully and replied, not daring to say anything more. Although the old lady is old, her status in this mansion is still higher than her, and the eldest lady feels itchy every time she thinks of the old lady.
Song Lingyu lowered her head, and no one noticed the smile on the corner of her mouth. In fact, it is not as serious as the old lady said, but it is just a banquet, as long as Song Linglong lies that she has the wind and cold for fear of infecting others. But this time, the old lady wanted to treat the eldest lady and Song Linglong well, so she was so resolute that she even moved out of the queen mother.
The old lady calmed down for a while and then sat down and said, "Except for the eldest lady, you all go out." ”
"Yes." After everyone answered, they all withdrew, and all the girls who served except for the old lady's mother Liu also withdrew.
After Song Linglong and the others left, Song Lingyu sent Zhilan to watch secretly not far from Jia'an Courtyard, and he returned to Qianluyuan first. Before the tea in Song Lingyu's hand was cold, Zhilan hurried back.
