Chapter 21 Arrival

Early in the morning, Ling Xi stood in Tingyuzhai, she looked left and right for a long time, but she didn't see Ginkgo, this is strange, on weekdays, Ginkgo will be swaying in front of her eyes in the morning, but today is not only Ginkgo, it seems that there are a lot fewer maids in Tingyuzhai, and even the huge Tingyuzhai is also a lot quieter, is there something big happening? Have you all gone to see the excitement?

Ling Xi couldn't help laughing, what else can happen in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion now, can it be bigger than her being dismissed, and what kind of excitement can people see, maybe she is worried, she walked into the house and picked up the embroidery on the table that has not been embroidered, she has to study her embroidery carefully, otherwise when Ye Muzhi comes back, she will not have time to make a wedding dress for herself, thinking of this, Ling Xi's face has a sweet smile again.

"Miss, King Duan is coming to the Hou Mansion today. The maids all went to take a sneak peek at this merry prince, and the front hall was lively. Ling Xi was embroidering seriously, and Ginkgo trotted into the house.

"It turns out that you are also a nymphomaniac, and you went to peep at this merry prince early in the morning?"

Ling Xi deliberately joked about Ginkgo, in Ling Xi's impression, it seemed that King Duan and the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion did not have much intersection, and the Anguo Marquis Mansion had not heard of any dealings with this young prince. It is said that Duan Wang Xiang Hongxi is a gentleman prince, proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but he does not learn and has no skills, but because he grew up with Emperor Renrui Xiang Hongxuan, they have a deep relationship, Xiang Hongxuan will crown him as the prince as soon as he ascends the throne, not to mention, he will also specially build a luxurious palace for him in Yicheng, and reward him with countless gold, silver and jade, he is now the most favored prince of Dongyu Kingdom.

"I heard the porter say that yesterday Duanwang's Mansion sent a greeting post, and Duanwang came to visit early this morning, which seems to be related to the election of the concubine." Ginkgo didn't blush because of Ling Xi's words, but said it a little seriously.

Ling Xi's heart chuckled, now is the most sensitive period for the selection of concubines in Yicheng, what does it mean that King Duan, who has the most holy will, came to visit the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion? Ling Xi couldn't help but stop the embroidery in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Are there any rumors in Yicheng recently?"

Ginkgo quietly approached Ling Xi's side and whispered in her ear: "I don't know when it started, it is rumored in Yicheng, Your Majesty seems to have taken a fancy to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the new queen is afraid that it will be in our mansion." ”

Suddenly, a blood stain soaked into the snow-white satin embroidery surface, and unconsciously, Ling Xi's finger was pierced by a needle, Ling Xi was unconscious, and let that drop of blood stain the embroidered surface red.

"Miss, don't be so depressed, maybe King Duan just came to visit Lord Hou." Ginkgo hurriedly took away the embroidered surface from Ling Xi's hand, she put Ling Xi's finger in her mouth, and after a while, wrapped it in a silk handkerchief.

"Let's go to the front hall and have a look." After speaking, Ling Xi strode out to listen to Yuzhai.

Ling Xi stepped lightly into the back hall of the front hall, she bent her waist, in the corner of the back hall, gently lifted the corner of the curtain of the back hall and the front hall, she saw Ling Xiao standing in front of a man wearing a crescent white python robe, it is estimated that this person is Duan Wang Xiang Hongxi, looking at this Xiang Hongxi looks pretty good, if it weren't for the reputation of a romantic person, how could it be that he also looked a little humble son.

However, his crescent-white robe was actually embroidered with a few strands of rose stems at the collar and cuffs, and these flower stems were swayed together, which seemed a bit hooked up and frivolous.

Suddenly, the ginkgo behind Ling Xi was pulling the corner of Ling Xi's clothes a little harder, although Ginkgo's movements were not big, but if it was known that they were peeping in the back hall, it would be rude, and she would definitely have to be sent back to the backyard, what Xiang Hongxi was doing, she didn't know. Ling Xi looked back at Ginkgo a little impatiently, but she saw that Ling Man didn't know when he also entered the back hall, Ling Man was also a little surprised when she saw Ling Xi, obviously she also heard that Duan Wang came to the door, let's take a look.

"Second sister, everything is really positive." Ling Man said with some teasing.

Ling Xi knew that Ling Man was afraid that she had also heard the rumors, either worried that she would become the queen, or that she was expecting herself to enter the palace, and she was deliberately ridiculing herself when she said such things now. Ling Xicai didn't have the kung fu to compete with Ling Man, but if she, a sister who didn't have a long brain, didn't have the eyesight to make trouble in the back hall, it wouldn't be a shame, and no one would want to know what Duanwang was doing.

"Why does the third sister want to hurt me here? You and I appear here at the same time, everyone's purpose is the same, if something rude comes out, who is Duanwang? I don't care, my reputation has long been ruined, but the third sister, your harem dream will be ruined. Ling Xi whispered to Ling Man, she didn't believe it, Ling Man dared to fool around with herself about her future.

Ling Man was also deflated for a while, and he didn't speak for a long time. Ling Xi knew what she was saying, her stupid sister listened to it, and she turned around again with peace of mind and continued to cat quietly.

Ling Man also stepped forward gently, she glared at Ginkgo, Ginkgo walked out of the back hall in amusement, she was next to Ling Xi, and stretched out her head to look at the front hall together.

Xiang Hongxi just sat down in the front hall, he took a sip of tea, and began to say a bunch of flattering words to Ling Xiao, in short, Ling Xiao listened to it very satisfied, and Xiang Hongxi's words, Xiang Hongxuan also admired Ling Xiao, and he would rely on the meaning of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion very much in the future, hearing this, Ling Xiao's mouth was almost full of laughter.

"I heard that there are two young ladies of the right age in the Hou family, and they will also participate in the election of the queen concubine this time."

Xiang Hongxi, who was still arguing with Ling Xiao just now, suddenly asked Ling Xiao's two daughters, Ling Xi's heart tightened, it seemed that Xiang Hongxi really came to choose a concubine, would Xiang Hongxuan really choose himself, the rumored ugly woman, to be the queen?

"That's natural, it's just that the third daughter of the minister is a concubine, according to the rules, she can't participate in the selection of concubines, but my third daughter is beautiful and well-behaved, and my wife loves her very much, so she will agree to send her Geng Ti into the palace."

Ling Xiao was a little unsure, didn't King Duan come here for the aftermath? This matter has long spread in Yicheng, Ling Xiao thought that Xiang Hongxi's sudden visit was to ventilate him, but when Xiang Hongxi talked about Ling Man's selection of palace concubines, was it because Ling Man's concubine participated in the selection of concubines, Xiang Hongxuan was a little displeased, and Duan Wang specially came to Pingyuan's Marquis Mansion to order his own?

"I have long heard that the third lady of the Pingyuan Hou family is both talented and beautiful, the most important thing is gentle and lovely, she is the number one beauty in Yicheng, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's not a concubine, otherwise she will be the best candidate for the new queen."

Xiang Hongxi was not shocked, he deliberately said how good Ling Man was, and finally came to expose people, Ling Xi was confused, what the hell is this Duan Wang here for. And she also thought it was funny, according to what Duanwang said, it was as if he had seen Ling Man. Although Ling Xi has to admit that Ling Man is indeed beautiful, but what is gentle and lovely, it is a bit nonsense, one crying, two troubles and three hangings, it is estimated that Ling Man will not be worse than Leng Qiuye, maybe crying more than drinking water every day, Ling Man has not much less vinegar in his stomach than after waste. This Duanwang can blow people like this just by rumors, why don't he go to the street to tell stories, he will definitely not starve to death.

"The minister also has a concubine, although her appearance is slightly inferior to my concubine, but she is dignified and virtuous." Ling Xiao hurriedly said, originally he didn't have any hope that Ling Man would be able to enter the palace, but Ling Xi was different, Ling Xi was the concubine of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion and the Marquis of Pingyuan, Ling Xi became the queen, he was the prince.

"That's the second lady in the house, the niece of the Lord of Anguo's mansion, presumably the cultivation will not be bad, but how did I hear that I was divorced some time ago, and Your Majesty also has a lot of whispers about it."

"That's all misinformation, the little girl quit the marriage because Zhan Gongzi wants to concentrate on her studies." Ling Xiao hurriedly explained that he didn't want to lose the opportunity for the family to win the throne like this, although he also knew that his explanation was a bit far-fetched.

"Originally, the two young ladies of the Hou family were the most suitable candidates, but now it seems that they are not very suitable, but if the second miss is not divorced, and the third lady has a biological mother of a full wife, then the two young ladies of the Hou family can enter the palace."

Hearing this, Ling Xi finally understood that the emotional rumors were true, and Xiang Hongxuan really took a fancy to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, but he didn't fall in love with her, but chose the new descendant on Ling Man. It is impossible for Ling Xi not to be divorced, if the Zhan family can really take back the divorce letter, then Ling Xi still has to marry into the Zhan family, and he can't enter the palace, which means that only Ling Man has a little hope of becoming a concubine, and Ling Xiao can sit in the position of the national abbot, Ling Xi understands, Ling Xiao can naturally understand.

"Hou Ye pondered it carefully, Xiao Wang will leave first, Your Majesty attaches great importance to Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Hou Ye don't let Your Majesty down."

After speaking, Xiang Hongxi strode out of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, his task was completed, but unfortunately he didn't see the two young ladies in the rumored Pingyuan Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion is really different from the ordinary official eunuchs, there are a few secret doors and back halls in the backyard and the front hall, he came to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion with such fanfare, Ling Xiao didn't let his daughter come out to see it, it seems that Ling Xiao's family education is very strict, he has no chance to witness the gap between the rumors and the reality, but it doesn't matter, Xiang Hongxuan's errand will be done.

Ling Xi in the back hall was a little frustrated, although she was not selected as the new queen, but the result was not much better than her selection. Ling Man didn't seem to understand Xiang Hongxi's words, and she looked at Ling Xi suspiciously.

"Second sister, what does this Duanwang mean?"

Ling Xi sneered, she walked past Ling Man without saying a word, since Xiang Hongxi had also seen it, what was she still talking to Ling Man here? I can't tell her that she wants to be the queen, Ling Xi left the back hall with a solemn face.
