Chapter 8: The Full Moon Dinner
"Miss, these are all selected by the master to ask the concubine to be you." The third lady thanked and sat down, asked the two maids behind her to put down their things, and said crisply.
"The third lady bothered." Ling Luo looked at the silk and hairpin jewelry on the table, said shallowly, and then motioned to Xuanzhu to accept all the things. Gold and silver money, she does not refuse to come.
"Miss, if Luo Yanju still needs to inform the concubine."
"Well, the furniture and objects in Luoyanju have been around for some years, anyway, if you want to repair the floor in the yard, let's replace them together." Ling Luo was also not polite, which made the third lady who originally said some polite words stunned, and then smiled happily to hide her gaffe.
"The concubine is going to ask the master." The third lady was tactful, and after a few words, she left.
"Miss, the lord has never given anything to a courtyard." Xuanzhu said with a happy face, the implication is that the eldest lady has turned over, and a good day is just around the corner.
Ling Luo didn't speak, the reason why Ling Hanran did this was just so that the prince could take a fancy to her on the night of the full moon, so as to ease the relationship between him and the prince.
Such a father, she disdains. No matter what, you don't have to take this identity into account when you work in the future.
On the second day, the third lady personally came to Luoyanju to direct the craftsmen to create new furniture objects. Everything was done according to Ling Luo's preferences, and other aunts and ladies in the backyard also sent things to pull relations, only the second lady's yard was constantly scolding.
"Mother, their group of wall grasses have all gone to tie up that cheap hoof." Ling Chunian roared angrily, but his red and swollen cheeks were pulled, and he suddenly screamed in pain.
"In the future, if I seize power, I will definitely make them regret their mistakes." The second lady also lost her former arrogance, and her eyes were full of hatred.
After this incident, she understood the importance of power even more.
"Mother, look at my face, how can I go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a few days, he must not look down on me anymore, won't the position of the crown princess be handed over to people in vain?" She can accept the position of the crown princess when others get it, but Ling Luo can't.
"You girl just don't listen to her mother, why do you provoke her again, wait for your grandfather for a while? Now it's okay, my grandfather is also angry with that dead girl, and he has the majesty of that cheap girl. The second lady lost her position as the head of the family, and she couldn't help but complain a little about Ling Chunian.
"How do I know that my grandfather can't even deal with a dead girl, and he is still speechless." Ling Chunian felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.
"Shut up, you're so open-mouthed that you got into trouble." The second lady shouted angrily.
"Mother, I was wrong." Ling Chunian also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately took the second lady's hand and coquettishly.
"Do not speak like this in the future, lest evil come out of your mouth." After all, the second lady treasured her, and her anger disappeared.
"Got it, mother, as long as I become the crown princess, no one will dare to bully us. It's just that my father wants that cheap hoof to marry the prince's mansion. Ling Chunian likes the right person too much, and likes the feeling of being worshiped from above, especially the feeling of letting Ling Luo kneel at her feet.
"Humph! Who becomes the crown princess, that is the prince's final say. The prince wants to marry just to consolidate the imperial power, if he marries you, he can not only get the support of the lord, but also the support of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, you say, how will the prince choose? The second lady's face was full of pride, and her eyes were full of calculation.
"What does the prince know?" When Ling Chu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
"I have my own way to let him know, just behave on a full moon night."
"As long as I become the crown princess, I will definitely take the life of that cheap hoof." The look in her eyes seemed to have taken the position of the crown princess.
Without the second lady and Ling Chunian to find faults, Ling Luo has been a lot quieter these days. On the fifteenth, Ling Yun lined up a soft sedan early to pick up Ling Luo, and Ling Luo knew that he couldn't hide, so he went with him. If Ling Hanran insisted on using him as a pawn, she wouldn't mind disturbing Ling Mansion's chickens and dogs, nor would she mind ruining him.
When the palm lamp is held, the sky pavilion is brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo is sound.
Ling Luo lowered his presence as much as possible, slowed down, found a place to sit down, raised his eyes, and looked up.
The second lady who was sitting opposite her and close to the top was still as graceful and luxurious as usual, her eyes were opposite, and there was no emotional fluctuation on her face, it seemed that she had eaten a trench and grown wise. Ling Chunian was also there, dressed in white, with a white fence covering his face and covering his red and swollen cheeks, which was a bit beautiful.
Seeing her twisting her willow waist and looking shy, she knew that she must be spying on the position of the crown princess.
The old lady sat upright, although she missed her daughter and had a lot to say, but now she is the queen's mother, and her status is noble, and she cannot be allowed to overstep. When the Marquis of Dingbei put his daughter on the throne of the queen, he originally thought that the glory and wealth were inexhaustible, but who knew that she did not have a son and a half daughter so far, the prince was still a successor, in order to consolidate her position, the princess must be elected from the Ling Mansion. That's why we have dinner tonight.
The prince's face was like a peach blossom, and his face was full of smiles, but he couldn't see that he was a ruthless character, but Ling Luo could see the indifference and alienation in his eyes. The legendary second prince is nowhere to be seen, and the original war king has become today's sick seedling, and no one asks, but tonight this prince will let him come, and I don't know what it means?
Ling Hanran sat upright, raised his glass and drank lightly, looking at the singing and dancing in the center of the hall, without too many words. Perhaps feeling Ling Luo's gaze, his eyes wandered, his gaze fell on her, and his eyes flashed with emotions that he couldn't see. Ling Luo hurriedly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at it again, for fear of attracting Ling Hanran's attention.
Ling Luo's worries were a little redundant, since that day Zhi retired to the Beihou, Ling Hanran dispelled the idea of adding Ling Luo to the Prince's Mansion.
The queen also tried her best for the phoenix position, and among so many nieces, her favorite was the second lady Ling Chunian. However, Ling Hanran didn't let go, and the prince didn't like it very much. Her gaze kept lingering on a few Ling Mansion ladies, but she only skipped Ling Luo. Because of the relationship between the old lady, she doesn't have a good impression of Ling Luo, not to mention that she is a stupid celebrity, how can she become a candidate for the crown princess.
Shoufu intends to marry the prince, and several aunts and young ladies are naturally competing for performance, so no one cares about Ling Luo, who is sitting in the corner.
Ling Luo was also too lazy to socialize, looking at a group of so-called ladies and girls showing their charm for the prince, he suddenly felt that this banquet was extremely boring, and quietly left when he saw that no one was paying attention.
The moon is on the willows, and the sporadic candlelight on the road is swaying. The secluded backyard is different from the noise of the Sky Pavilion, but it is also quiet.
Just as she was about to step on the snow and leave, Yu Guang saw a cold plum coming straight to her life gate with internal force.
