Ling Chengsi was startled by the impulse in his heart, secretly clenched his fists, turned his eyes away and asked, "You just came out of the mother's harem?" ”

"Yes, I went to see the queen."

Ruan Qingge remembered the conversation with the empress just now, and hesitated, she hadn't thought about whether to tell Ling Chengji what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve.

She has too few opportunities to contact Ling Chengsi on weekdays, and it is easy to leave traces when she sends someone to pass the word, so she wanted to operate through the relationship between the queen, but today she found that the queen is not good at scheming, if she wants to explain her too much, it is better to find Ling Chengsi directly to save effort.

Ruan Tingge's injuries disrupted her previous arrangements, and seeing that a few months had passed, Ruan Tingge's sense of urgency in her heart became stronger and stronger.

When spring begins, the Nanning envoy group will leave Dongyun, and Zhong Lixuan's fate will be settled.

No matter which prince she marries, that prince will not be able to win the crown prince's position.

Although Ruan Tingge disrupted Nanning's plan and saved Ling Chenghei once in this life, they may come a second or third time, and Ling Chengyu will definitely secretly facilitate this matter.

In his previous life, Ling Chengji was embarrassed by the affairs of Princess Nanning and his relatives, and if it were not for the desperate persuasion of the Chinese Confucian ministers, coupled with the opening of the King of Fenyang, he would almost marry Zhong Lixuan as a concubine.

But in the end, he still did not escape the end of being assassinated.

Thinking of this, Ruan Chengge made a decision in his heart, looked at Ling Chengsi and said, "I have something I want to talk to Brother Chenghe, but it's not convenient here, can Brother Chengsi give me a way to contact you?" ”

Ling Chengsi's expression remained unchanged, but his dark eyes were a little deeper, and he said without hesitation, "I have a subordinate named Hei Er, who is the best at delivering news, if you have something to look for me, send someone to find him in the West Street Gentlemen's Hall." ”

That gentleman's hall must be his inheritance, Ruan Tingge nodded and said okay.

She glanced at the palace maid who was leading her way not far away, and thought that the Queen Mother and grandmother were still waiting for her in the palace, so she asked, "What is the matter with Brother Chenghei looking for me today?" ”

"Nothing." Ling Chengsi paused and explained, "When I entered the palace to visit my mother today, I saw you here and asked a few questions. ”

Ruan Tingge nodded, "Then Tingge won't bother Brother Chenghei, the Queen Mother and grandmother are still waiting for me in the palace, and I will retire first." ”

Ling Chenghei bowed his head, stood in place and looked at Ruan Tingge's back as he turned to leave, and stood silent for a while before walking towards the queen's palace.

Ling Chenghei didn't come to his mother's palace very often, and after opening the mansion, he was busy with affairs, so he came even less. As soon as she arrived at the queen this time, the queen was very happy, and said with a smile on her face, "Let's stay in the palace for lunch today." ”

Seeing Ling Chengsi nodding, the queen's smile became a little better, and she ordered the palace people to hurry up and arrange lunch.

"Why did you suddenly enter the palace today, and you didn't say a word to the queen mother in advance." At lunchtime, the queen asked.

"I didn't come to visit my mother for a few days after Chinese New Year's Eve, but I came over today without incident." Ling Chengsi replied.

The queen's face softened, "You have this heart, the queen mother is deeply grateful." ”

"Come and try this braised fish soup with honey sauce, the queen mother remembers that you used to love it the most."

Ling Chengsi said, "Thank you to the queen mother." ”

After speaking, the dining table was quiet for a while, and Ling Chengsi ate the dishes quietly, without the intention of speaking.

The queen knew her son's character, so she didn't care, and when she thought of what the palace maid said before, she mentioned it as if she was chatting, "Speaking of which, it was a coincidence when you came, the lord of Yun'an stayed here with the queen mother for a while, and he didn't leave for long. ”

Seeing that her son didn't speak, the queen asked, "You should have an impression of Lord Yun'an, right?" At the state banquet, her wonderful calligraphy overwhelmed Nanning, so that many Confucian scholars couldn't stop praising it. ”

Ling Chengsi nodded slightly.

Seeing Ling Chenghe's response, a smile appeared on the queen's face.

"The lord of Yun'an is not only talented, but also has a superior appearance, and now he is still young, and when he is an adult, he doesn't know how beautiful he is."

The more the queen spoke, the more satisfied she became, the slight displeasure she had with Ruan Tingge's words had long since disappeared, and she felt that if she wanted to be the future crown princess or the mother of a country, she should have Ruan Tingge's vision of the city.

Hearing that the queen began to praise Ruan Tingge, Ling Chenghe's figure appeared in his heart again, and what impressed him the most was not her appearance or talent, but her sometimes cunning and sometimes lively smile.

The queen carefully looked at Ling Chenghe's expression as she spoke, and saw that his face had not changed, but a pair of black eyes seemed to be a little distracted, and according to her understanding of Ling Chenghe, she was a little sure that Ling Chengsi should have feelings for Ruan Chengge.

Thinking that her son had finally enlightened, the queen suppressed the joy in her heart, pretended to have nothing to do and continued to eat, and said after a while, "The lord of Yun'an will be fifteen after the New Year, and when the banquet is over, you can start to discuss marriage." ”

Ling Chenghe's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and when he saw the queen there, he sighed, "I don't know which son is blessed." ”

"Most of the Dongyun women didn't get married until they were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the lord of Yun'an was still early." Ling Chengsi spoke.

The queen smiled and nodded, "That's right, and the king of Fenyang has too much favorite, so he must be reluctant to marry her too early." ”

She suddenly said again, "This palace heard that the county lord of Yun'an is known as the first talented woman in Jinling, and the number of admirers is countless. ”

Ling Chengsi raised his eyes to look at the queen, the queen mother has been mentioning Ruan Qingge all the time, I don't know what the intention is.

"The queen mother likes the lord of Yun'an very much?"

The queen saw her son's black eyes looking at her fixedly, as if she could see through her own thoughts, she smiled a little uncomfortably, "Naturally, I like it, and the queen mother is also her cousin." ”

Hearing the queen say this, Ling Chengsi remembered the scene when he met Ruan Tingge for the first time in the Fenyang Palace, and Ruan Chengge insisted on calling him Chenghe's brother.

He concealed the softness in his eyes, gave the queen a dish with chopsticks, and said, "The queen mother tastes this dish, it's not bad." ”

The queen was a little flattered by Ling Chenghe's rare intimate behavior, and forgot what she wanted to say for a while, but said, "Okay, good mother, try it." ”

The Queen Mother was also having dinner in the palace, and when the Queen Mother saw Ruan Tingge coming back, she beckoned to her, "Are you hungry?" Sit down for lunch. ”

Ruan Tingge saluted the Queen Mother and Mrs. Yide, then sat down next to the Queen Mother, and said coquettishly with a smile, "As soon as I saw such a table of delicacies, the gluttonous worms in Qinge's stomach were hooked." ”

"You kid," the Queen Mother smiled and patted Ruan Tingge, "If you're hungry, eat quickly." ”

Mrs. Yide didn't know what she had talked to the Queen Mother before, her complexion was ruddy and her spirits were vibrant, and she also said to Ruan Tingge at this time, "The Queen Mother said that you will definitely come back for dinner, and let the palace people make a lot of dishes you like to eat, so don't hurry up and thank the Queen Mother." ”
