Chapter 1 Rumors
A ray of morning light shines on the streets of Eupong, and the originally deserted streets are gradually warming up under the warm sun. The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and Yicheng, the capital of Dongyu Kingdom, began to be lively.
A delicate carriage suddenly stopped on the side of the road, seven-year-old Ling Xi walked down slowly, the winter city was extremely cold, Ling Xi looked at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and couldn't help but laugh happily. She likes the streets of Eupong, in addition to the bustle, there are many strange things, as if they have magical powers, and they always attract her.
Granny Qian picked up Ling Xi and wrapped Ling Xi's cloak, for fear that the cold winter wind would blow Ling Xi, she walked quickly into a candied fruit shop.
Chen Sanniang, the shopkeeper of the candied fruit shop, looked at the two masters and servants carefully, Ling Xi was dressed in silk and satin, she thought that the two masters and servants must be the nobles in the city. Early in the morning, the store ushered in a nobleman, and she had to entertain her well, maybe her shop would have a rich customer in the future.
Chen Sanniang, who felt happy when she thought about it, hurriedly greeted the little god of wealth, and immediately brought a lot of delicate and delicious fruits, and even made and served the greasy tea, which was very diligent.
On weekdays, Jiang Shuangxue didn't allow Ling Xi to eat so many fruits, Ling Xi saw a lot of delicious fruits at once, and she also began to be greedy, she glanced at Mama Qin, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she began to deduce that she didn't know which one to choose, so Mama Qin had to let her try it in the shop.
Suddenly, Granny Qian was sick to her stomach, so she went to the backyard to go to the toilet, without Granny Qian nagging beside her, Ling Xi was even more happy to eat, and Chen Sanniang was waiting next to her without leaving for half a step.
"Sanniang."
Suddenly, a loud call came into Chen Sanniang's ears, and when Chen Sanniang turned around, she saw Aunt Zhang next door slowly walking into her candied fruit shop. She hurriedly pulled Aunt Zhang aside, for fear of colliding with the little nobleman who was busy eating fruits.
Aunt Zhang looked a little nervous and said to Chen Sanniang: "I heard about it, there has been a big incident in our Dongyu Kingdom recently. ”
"What's the big deal? It's not like we're going to fight again. Chen Sanniang hurriedly asked.
"This is much more interesting than fighting," Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "Marquis Pingyuan wants to invite Mrs. Fengguo for his concubine." ”
"When the lady of the dynasty Yipinguo is not only the main room can ask the court to canonize, does the Marquis of Pingyuan want to divorce his wife?"
"That's not it, I heard that the wife of the Marquis of Pingyuan is the lady of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and the Marquis of Pingyuan wants to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, he really doesn't have the guts."
"If you don't divorce your wife, you have to give the title of Mrs. of the concubine family, doesn't the Marquis of Pingyuan still want to spoil the concubine and kill his wife." Chen Sanniang asked puzzled.
"I heard that the concubine of the Marquis of Pingyuan is very beautiful, and now he has given birth to a son, the lady of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, who has no children under his knees, so the Marquis of Pingyuan used this reason to invite Mrs. Fengguo for his concubine. This is called the wind of merging concubines, we don't have this kind of atmosphere in Dongyu country, that is, the kind of country in Xihua allows this wife not to be a wife, and a concubine is not a concubine. ”
When Chen Sanniang heard this, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is said that our Dongyu Kingdom was founded because of love, and no one in Dongyu Kingdom knows the story of the love between the Empress Wu Shenghou and the Heavenly Saint Emperor. ”
Zhang Sanniang's brows suddenly tightened, and she asked thoughtfully: "Do you say that his concubine can get the title of Mrs. Guo?" ”
Aunt Zhang and Chen Sanniang looked at each other and smiled, and said slowly: "It's hard to say, since ancient times, there is no queen, and there is no son in the main room, it is a fatal injury." And Marquis Pingyuan is so infatuated with the concubine, who can stop it. ”
Ling Xi, who was still concentrating on eating candied fruit just now, raised her little head, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what is the style of merging concubines, and what is the spoiled wife and concubine, she seemed to think for a while, and in the end, the charm of candied fruit was greater, and she buried herself in eating it hard.
Granny Qian came to the front shop from the backyard at some point, she walked past Chen Sanniang and Aunt Zhang silently, and she walked to Ling Xi's side. picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of Ling Xi's mouth, and led Ling Xi to the door.
Chen Sanniang hurriedly greeted her with a smile, and Granny Qian looked at Chen Sanniang.
"The few fruits that my young lady ate just now, take a few packets of each and send them to the house." After saying that, she led the girl out of the shop.
Chen Sanniang chased out of the shop and hurriedly asked, "Where is your house?" ”
"East Lane Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."

Pingyuan Marquis Mansion
The Yilan Courtyard is very lively, and many maids and maids shuttle between the front hall and the backyard of the Yilan Courtyard, cleaning, changing into various ornaments, and preparing all kinds of food, and they are very busy.
Leng Qiuye stood in the courtyard in a red dress, and under the reflection of the winter afternoon sun, her snow-like skin contrasted sharply with the bright red satin fabric on her body, making her extremely dazzling.
Leng Qiuye looked at the door from time to time, as if she was anxious to wait for something, and suddenly Ling Man hugged her thighs and begged Leng Qiuye to hold her and play.
Leng Qiuye sent the old woman to take Ling Man to the side to eat fruits and play, she walked to the courtyard lake, and gently smoothed the corners of her daughter's wrinkled clothes just now.
She looked at herself in the lake, and a few silver threads leaked out from under her jet-black green silk. The years still left traces on her body, and she had to admit that she was no longer the daughter of the glamorous city she used to be, Leng Qiuye stared at the lake, there should be results today, she thought to herself.
In a trance, she saw a figure approaching from the lake. Leng Qiuye instantly became happy, and immediately turned around, but saw Ling Fu slowly walking towards her.
Leng Qiuye drooped down her teething smile in disappointment, and asked lightly, "Has the Hou Ye returned home?" ”
Ling Fu gave Leng Qiuye a deep look, and then replied with a smile: "Master Hou hasn't returned to the mansion yet, the villain is here to inform Madame, I heard that Yuzhai has just returned to the Hou Mansion." ”
Leng Qiuye didn't care at all when Jiang Shuangxue would come back, and after today, it didn't matter if she returned or not.
"Butler, I can't afford your wife, I'm just a concubine, according to the rules, you can only call me Aunt Leng, if the one who listens to Yuzhai hears it, he still thinks I have something in mind." After speaking, Leng Qiuye glanced at Ling Fu with his residual light.
Ling Fu was neither annoyed nor angry, still looking at Leng Qiuye with a smile.
"Now no one in Dongyu Kingdom knows that you are the person on the tip of Lord Hou's heart, and your title of Mrs. Guo will be in an instant."
After listening to Ling Fu's words, Leng Qiuye smiled with satisfaction, she took off the golden step shake on her head and handed it to Ling Fu.
"This reward you, you go to the gate of the Hou Mansion to guard, if the Hou Ye returns to the next court, you will take him directly to Yilan Courtyard."
"The villain will go now, madam, please rest assured." Ling Fu took the golden step shake and hurriedly responded.
Ling Fu strode out of Yilan Courtyard, he stopped at the door of Yilan Courtyard, and weighed the weight of Jin Bu in his hand. This is a gorgeous gold jewelry with pure gold, and it seems that he has come to the right time to show favor to Leng Qiuye today. If he becomes Leng Qiuye's henchman, the oil and water of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion will be inexhaustible in the future.
Of course, his blatant overtures of Leng Qiuye like this will inevitably make his wife Jiang Shuangxue reject him, and his risk is still very great, after all, Jiang Shuangxue is from the Anguo Marquis Mansion, and it is really hard to say whether Leng Qiuye can succeed in the throne. But it doesn't matter, according to Hou Ye's favor for Leng Qiuye, it is only a matter of time before she ascends to the throne.
Ling Fu thought about it and felt that he had embarked on the road of wealth on half a leg, and he couldn't help but laugh happily, he glanced back at Yilan Courtyard, which would be his backer in the future, and then walked happily towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.
