Chinese New Year's Eve passed quietly.

Because the emperor was seriously ill and needed to recuperate, the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was not large-scale, until Ling Hu Zhengqi's birthday, the emperor's health was better, but Xiangguo Mansion did not make much noise, and only a few adults close to Xiangguo Mansion came to congratulate with their families.

Early in the morning, Zuo Changan also went to Xiangguo Mansion with Linghu Qingge, and when he entered the mansion, Master Qu and Qu Liuqi had already arrived, and there were several unfamiliar faces on his side.

Linghu Zhengqi was very happy to see his daughter come back, and after seeing Zuo Changan, he quietly pulled Linghu Qingge and said: "Qingge, that is the old friend of Master Qu, Huangfu Chenglin, this son has a single name and a Chen character, and he is dignified, he originally planned to say goodbye to your third sister, but this girl refused, if you think this Chen son is good, why don't you have the time to persuade your sister?" ”

Linghu Qingge looked at the emperor Fuchen from the side, but he was dignified, and he was not weak and talented, and he was quite heroic between his eyebrows.

However, Linghu Qingge was still planning to test Linghu Qingxue in his heart, so he naturally wanted to follow his father's meaning and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the backyard first." ”

All the way to the backyard, Linghu Qingxue was grooming in the house, and Xiangtao saw someone coming in, and immediately bowed down as soon as she looked up and said, "Miss? The slave maid greets the eldest lady. ”

In the mirror, Linghu Qingxue listened, and smiled at Linghu Qingge in the mirror without hurrying: "The eldest sister is here, but the younger sister is sleeping, so she got up and dressed up." ”

After that, he got up at every turn, bowed leisurely, Ling Hu Qingge glanced at her, sat down next to her and said: "The third sister hasn't seen you for a long time, and the water spirit is out and about, no wonder my father has found a good family for you and left the second sister aside." ”

Linghu Qingxue listened, sneered and continued to turn around to comb, holding it in her hand crisply, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "If the eldest sister is a lobbyist for her father, it is better to go to the Chunni Hall earlier and wait for her father's birthday banquet to start, and she can eat earlier." ”

Shen Shu listened to Linghu Qingxue's face, and couldn't hold back his anger in his heart, and blurted out: "Even in the Xiangguo Mansion, there must be a distinction between the concubines and the inferior, not to mention that my young lady is already the princess of Anyang County, and the third young lady should also pay attention to what she says!" ”

Linghu Qingge raised his eyes and stopped Shen Shu, but Shen Shu was still not angry, and Linghu Qingxue suddenly lowered his face when he heard it and said, "What are you!" Dare to teach me a lesson, on weekdays, you don't know how conspicuous your master is in the market, how many tricks you have, hurry to declare what kind of princess you are in this Changling City! Now that I'm home, I actually put up a shelf in the house, but it's really my good sister, helping my father to force me to marry a broken door, there is no such reason in the world, even if I am a concubine, I was born in this Xiangguo Mansion, and my father is also a first-class Xiangguo! ”

Linghu Qingge sneered lightly: "Father is optimistic about the emperor's son, he will be promoted one day, the emperor's son will enter the court as an official, if there is a father's recommendation, are you still worried that there will be no official quality in the future?" The third sister's vision is inevitably too short-sighted, I know that the third sister has a high spirit, if you don't want to marry an ordinary person as a wife, then the third sister is to say, which door do you want to enter? ”

Linghu Qingxue was choked back by Linghu Qingge's sentence, she thought that Linghu Qingge's mind had never been on the trivial matters in the back house, and she just wanted to run outside all day, but now she said that what she said was the way, and Linghu Qingxue couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she had to stiffen her face and said: "What door I want to enter, I don't count what I said, but I am also my father's biological daughter, if I can marry a good husband, I am naturally willing to marry." ”

"That is to say, the third sister refuses to marry this emperor son, since this is the case, there is no need to force it, it is okay to return to his father in a good voice, he is the son of the emperor, if he marries a beautiful woman, he should also come to thank the third sister."

Linghu Qingxue heard this, and glanced at Linghu Qingge with some doubts, only to see Linghu Qingge get up and approach Linghu Qingxue, look at the delicate little face in the mirror, fingernails lightly scratched her face, and whispered: "Don't think that I don't know why, in the future, this kind of thing will be used as a chess piece, don't do it a second time, this time it's because you are my sister, I don't want to break it, if there is a second time, you think about the consequences yourself." ”

In the mirror, Linghu Qingxue's face changed, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes when she looked at Linghu Qingge, and then she calmed down and said, "Big sister, what are you talking about, I don't understand." ”

"I don't understand it, it doesn't matter, I haven't done it myself, I know it in my heart, I've never liked to worry about it in the house, in the final analysis, it's all related by blood, I don't want to involve too much, just Linghu Qingxue, you have to know, some things are not something you can solve if you are unwilling, you have the ability to put it on the table, fight for it in a bright way, don't play tricks behind your back. I know that you don't even look down on the concubines of the third and fourth rank officials in Changling City, you have a far-sighted vision, seeing that the emperor is not in good condition, do you want to enter the county palace or the East Palace, don't think I don't know what you have in mind. ”

Linghu Qingxue's face was pale, looking at Linghu Qingge, who was still breezy in the mirror, his heart was turbulent, and his anger rose, but Linghu Qingge just smiled lightly and turned away, humming a small tune with Shen Shu, and left Linghu Qingxue's courtyard.

Out of the courtyard door, Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Miss's words just now, it sounds really relieving, if it is really the third miss who calculated you, then she is really not enough to die a hundred times, staining your reputation Miss, what kind of wishful thinking can she marry, after thinking about it, this brain can't keep up with the mind, but how can Miss be sure that the third miss is going to enter the county palace or the East Palace?" ”

"I also lied to her," Linghu Qingge smiled mysteriously after hearing this, "However, it is not difficult to think of this, although they are all concubines, but Linghu Qingxue is not as beautiful as the second sister, but it is also beautiful and moving, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also passable, and the Xiangguo Mansion who was born above 10,000 people under this person naturally looks down on ordinary sons, so it is only possible to climb up to the emperor's relatives and relatives, most of the princes in Changling City are old, and there are groups of wives and concubines, only the county king is young, and then the prince of the East Palace, However, the prince has such a deep affection for the crown princess, and now the crown princess is pregnant again, if she gives birth to a grandson, who else can there be in the eyes of the prince, she will inevitably dig her own grave, afraid that she can force herself to death. ”

Shen Shu nodded and said: "In this case, I'm afraid that she will move the mind of our county king, then she will definitely not be allowed to come in, even if she makes trouble with the master, it is impossible, let her daydream." ”

Linghu Qingge nodded, but suddenly ran over to the side, Linghu Qingge looked at the maid Yuanqiu on Qu Yanshan's side, and immediately stopped and asked, "Yuanqiu?" What's going on, panic. ”

Yuan Qiu stopped and said hurriedly: "It's not good, eldest lady, the young lady fainted just after going out, and the slave was about to ask the young master to come back." ”

When Linghu Qingge heard this, he immediately said, "What's the use of inviting him back!" You go to the house doctor first, and I'll go see Sister Qu first. ”
