Chapter 3 Distinguished guests of the State of Chu

The next day, Gong Lingxi followed Gong Zhiqian into the palace court, but due to the traditional rules of the Chu State, women were not allowed to interfere in politics, so Gong Lingxi had to stand outside the Jinluan Palace and wait for them.

She had a cold face and paced back and forth at the entrance of the temple.

After a long time, Gong Zhiqian finally came out of it, looked at her happily, and asked, "Ling Xi, what did you say to Prince Li?" Prince Li didn't even mention the divorce today, and seemed to have given up. ”

Gong Lingxi frowned and asked in disbelief, "He didn't mention it?" ”

How could he not have mentioned it?

Yesterday, I clearly said it, what the hell is this Chu Lifeng doing?

Gong Zhiqian stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Xu was last night when Prince Li saw that you were not stupid, and he changed his mind. ”

Gong Lingxi frowned, "Dad, are you mistaken, he really didn't mention the divorce?" ”

Gong Zhiqian thought that Gong Lingxi was still worried, and comforted: "It's true, don't worry about this, I think King Li has taken a fancy to you." ”

"Dad, King Li promised me that he would definitely withdraw from the marriage, don't worry, my daughter just doesn't want to marry him." Gong Lingxi said.

Gong Zhiqian glared at her, just when she was saying angry words, this huge Chu country, there are countless women who want to marry Chu Lifeng, she has a chance now, how can she give up?

A man dressed in white walked over, Gong Lingxi looked at him, the man was dressed in white, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, with delicate facial features, a tall nose bridge, picturesque eyes, sexy lips, his skin is better than snow, his skin is like condensed fat, and his eyes are like peach blossoms, shining.

Gong Lingxi thought that she was not a nymphomaniac, but she was fascinated by the man in her eyes.

The man caught the surprise that flashed in Gong Lingxi's eyes, smiled silently, and said to Gong Zhiqian: "Prime Minister, presumably this daughter is the pearl of your palm, right?" ”

Gong Zhiqian showed a satisfied smile, nodded, glanced at Gong Lingxi, and introduced: "This is a distinguished guest of the Chu State, Jiang Gongzi, and he has not come to meet him." ”

Gong Lingxi understood, and blessed Jiang Yuchen, "The courtiers have seen Jiang Gongzi." ”

"Miss Gong doesn't have to be polite." Jiang Yuchen smiled lightly.

Although Jiang Yuchen was smiling, what emanated from his body was an aura that no one could approach, and Gong Lingxi could feel his indifference in rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"Jiang Gongzi, the old man will take the little girl to retire first, and there will be a chance to talk about it in the future." Gong Zhiqian said with a smile on his face.

Then he left with Gong Lingxi.

Gong Lingxi followed him obediently, Gong Zhiqian suddenly turned his head and asked worriedly: "Ling Xi, have you taken a fancy to Jiang Gongzi?" ”

Gong Lingxi was taken aback, his face flashed with surprise, and he was puzzled: "Why do you say this?" ”

She was just seeing Jiang Yuchen for the first time, how could she possibly fall in love with her.

Seeing Gong Lingxi's attitude, Gong Zhiqian's hanging heart finally let go, and said seriously: "It's good if you don't have it, Dad just asked, Ling Xi, you still have to marry Prince Li in the end, you know?" ”

Gong Lingxi: "......"

The little servant followed behind Jiang Yuchen, and when he saw him staring at Gong Lingxi's back for a long time, he said loudly: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't think that Lingzhu has something to do with that stupid girl?" ”

Jiang Yuchen's eyes were cold, he glanced at the little guy coldly, and said coldly: "Lingzhu? ”

The little guy immediately realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's a slave who is too talkative." ”

Jiang Yuchen didn't look at him again, and walked towards the palace gate.

Their trip was secretive, and it must not be exposed, and if he mentioned these two words again, he would definitely kill him on the spot.

Gong Lingxi followed Gong Zhiqian back to the palace, and when Xiaoyu saw her, her face was happy, "Master, miss, you are back." ”

"Hmm." Gong Zhiqian responded lightly, glanced at Xiaoyu, and could see that he was in a good mood today.

Xu was because Chu Lifeng did not mention the divorce, which made him feel a lot better.

Xiao Yu followed Gong Lingxi back to the courtyard, a trace of puzzlement flashed in Gong Lingxi's eyes, she could see that Xiao Yu had something to say to her.

"Miss."

Sure enough, as soon as she walked to the courtyard, Xiaoyu immediately spoke.

Gong Lingxi glanced at her coldly, "Speak." ”

Xiaoyu was a little flustered, Miss had really changed, she felt that Miss's aura was getting stronger and stronger, and it was getting colder and colder......

But even so, she still stubbornly said: "Shangshu Mansion sent a post inviting Miss to participate in the lotus banquet in the afternoon. ”

Gong Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, lotus feast?

The lotus banquet is a popular banquet in the Chu State, which can only be attended by unmarried women, only young girls, and only young ladies.

Ordinary children do not have the opportunity to participate in this kind of high-end banquet, but in this imperial city, Ye Yun, the concubine of Shangshu Mansion, likes this kind of banquet the most, and it is held every three or five days.

Seeing that Gong Lingxi didn't respond, Xiaoyu asked again, "Miss, should we go or not?" ”

"Go." Gong Lingxi replied coldly.

Ye Yun warmly invited, of course she wanted to go.

"Ling Xi." Shu Fang walked into the courtyard, called out, quickly walked to Gong Lingxi's side, and looked her whole body up and down.

Gong Lingxi frowned slightly, "Mother." ”

She is really not used to being looked at by Chiguo, but the person in front of her is the mother of the original owner, and she is also a very good person to her.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, I can only endure it.

"Is there anything else wrong with your body?" Shu Fang asked with concern.

Shu Fang is dressed in an orange dress, generous and decent, in her thirties, but her face is still well-maintained, and people who don't know still think she is a girl in her early twenties.

It is rumored that Gong Zhiqian fell in love with Shu Fang miserably, and only married her despite the opposition of his family, and after the two got married, they were even more affectionate, which made others envious.

Shu Fang was not in good health, and finally gave birth to Gong Lingxi, but Gong Zhiqian did not let her have a second child because he was worried about Shu Fang.

This feeling Gong Lingxi can't envy, it's just very strange that people in the world have seven emotions and six desires.

She never knew what it was.

Gong Lingxi shook his head and said indifferently: "No." ”

Shu Fang glanced at Gong Lingxi in surprise, a dark emotion flashed in her eyes, Gong Lingxi accurately captured it, and wanted to see something else in Shu Fang's eyes, and the next second Shu Fang returned to normal.

"I made bird's nest porridge for you, drink it while it's hot." Shu Fang said softly and gave the maid behind her a look.

The maid understood and handed the bird's nest porridge in her hand to Xiaoyu.

"Okay."

Xiaoyu took the bird's nest porridge and put it on the table in the pavilion.

Gong Lingxi's courtyard is called Xilin Garden, which is inscribed by Gong Zhiqian, and the style of the courtyard is also arranged according to the preferences of the former silly girl Gong Lingxi.

The courtyard area of Xilin Yuan is very large, as soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you can see several trees standing side by side, it is the osmanthus tree that Gong Lingxi likes, and the whole courtyard is particularly fragrant in summer.

There is no shortage of flowers and plants here, there is a pavilion in the center of the courtyard, there is a stone table that can be used to play chess, can also be used to rest, and Gong Lingxi likes to eat there in spring and autumn.
