Chapter 221: The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend
The guest room of the female dependents is located in the backyard, close to the residences of other female dependents in the Five Princes' Mansion, especially the guest room where Lin Yingxue stayed yesterday is very close to the new lady's residence, so she watched a good show when she left early in the morning.
"What's going on?" When passing by Shao Rui's courtyard, Lin Yingxue vaguely saw a familiar figure kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, and who else could that figure be if it wasn't Lin Yingling?
"Miss Hui-" Miaoqin, who had already gone to the side to inquire about the news and came back, hurriedly replied: "I heard that it was because Concubine Lingfang went late in the morning and missed the time to ask for peace, so the fifth princess is teaching Concubine Lingfang to set rules." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Murong Xun must have rested in Lin Yingling's room last night, he gave the bride such a big face on the first day of marriage, if the bride didn't do anything, wouldn't it seem that the bride was easy to bully?
It's a pity that she is an outsider now, and it is somewhat inappropriate to stand outside the courtyard and watch other people's jokes. After Lin Yingxue reluctantly withdrew her gaze, she couldn't help asking, "What about the people of the Fifth Highness?" ”
Lin Yingling is the person on the tip of Murong Xun's heart, how could he bear to watch Lin Yingling being bullied like this? It's simply not normal.
"I heard that I brought the five princesses into the palace today to see the emperor, and the emperor has something to discuss with the five highnesses, so I left the five highnesses for a while, and the five highnesses have not come back yet." Miaoqin is really a good hand at finding out the news, and she can find out everything clearly.
After Lin Yingxue listened to Miaoqin's words, there was a trace of clarity on her face.
At this time, Lin Yingling's heart must be extremely aggrieved, right? Although she has Murong Xun's love, she is just a side room no matter what, she is destined to be crushed by Shao Rui everywhere, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she must be uncomfortable in her heart because she has hardly suffered any grievances...... Thinking of this, Lin Yingxue felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
Lin Yingxue was thinking about it, and she turned around and was about to leave, but before she could take two steps, Murong Xun suddenly rushed over with someone in a hurry, "Who ordered Ling'er to kneel outside?" ”
Lin Yingxue felt a murderous aura from afar, and soon Murong Xun passed by her like the wind, walked up to Lin Yingling and helped the person up.
And how could Lin Yingling ever suffer such grievances? After being picked up by Murong Xun, she immediately leaned on Murong Xun's arms and sobbed quietly.
Lin Yingling's facial features are actually very soft, but the anger that lingers on her all the year round covers up her original temperament, at this time she cried, that pear blossom with rain, I see a pitiful look, if Lin Yingxue is a man, I may not know what kind of distress it will become, let alone Murong Xun, who originally regarded Lin Yingling as a heart.
Lin Yingxue saw Murong Xun's face sink inch by inch, looking at Murong Jun's appearance as if he was about to kill, Lin Yingxue consciously took two steps back, and the new lady, who had not shown up at this time, finally walked out of the courtyard.
"Husband-" Shao Rui is worse than Lin Yingling in appearance, and it is obvious that Lin Yingling can dress herself, although she is also dressed luxuriously, but Shao Rui is full of tackyness.
"You made Ling'er kneel outside in the winter?" Murong Xun did not respond to Shao Rui's enthusiasm, but asked coldly.
Murong Xun's terrifying appearance made Shao Rui take two steps back in fear, "Everyone was busy until the middle of the night last night, and this morning I got up early in the morning with my husband and entered the palace to meet my father and mother, but after the concubine came back, Concubine Ling had not gotten up to ask the concubine to say goodbye...... This is just the first day of the door, the spirit side concubine did this, does the husband think that the spirit side concubine should not be punished? ”
Although Shao Rui had a frightened look floating on her face, because she was in charge, she was still full of confidence when she spoke.
Lin Yingling, who was originally leaning on Murong Xun's arms and crying, couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this-she was used to getting up late at the Lin family, plus Murong Xun gave her such a big face when she passed the door, and she rested in her room on the wedding night, so the people under her naturally didn't take Shao Rui seriously.
But who would have thought that Shao Rui would be a powerful character, and she would ask her to be dragged out of bed by Shengsheng and give her such a big dismount? Lin Yingling gritted her teeth and looked unconvinced.
Murong Xun originally wanted to have a seizure, but Shao Rui's words were reasonable, he couldn't find an excuse to have a seizure for a while, not to mention that the Shao family was still useful to him now, if he provoked Shao Rui, it would not be good for him.
Thinking about it, Murong Xun held back his anger, and just said with a straight face: "Ling'er is weak and can't blow the cold wind, if Madam wants to make rules in the future, you can change to a more relaxed way." ”
Murong Xun's compromise was actually expected by Lin Yingxue, after all, Murong Xun coaxed her around like this at the beginning, but in fact, she had already secretly married Lin Yingling behind her back.
He is such an indifferent and heartless person, he is good to a person, it only depends on whether that person is useful or not.
When she thought about it like this, even Lin Yingxue herself didn't notice it, and a sneer involuntarily appeared on her face.
And Murong Xun and the others may have been hindered by the presence of outsiders like Lin Yingxue, so the two sides did not say much. Murong Xun left in a hurry with Lin Yingling, and Lin Yingxue also turned around to leave when she saw this, but Shao Rui looked at her and said, "It's rare for five girls to be guests in the Five Princes' Mansion, it's better to stay and sit and leave." ”
"Huh?" Lin Yingxue didn't even know about Shao Rui before yesterday, but now Shao Rui took the initiative to ask her to stay and sit, which was very surprising to Lin Yingxue.
And Shao Rui didn't wait for Lin Yingxue to speak, she stepped forward and kindly grabbed Lin Yingxue's arm and took Lin Yingxue to the courtyard, and said with a smile as she walked: "The five girls don't have to feel embarrassed, everyone is a relative, and there will be more days of walking around in the future, and the five girls should be familiar with it in advance." ”
Shao Rui said so, what else could Lin Yingxue say? Shao Rui could only pull her into the house.
"I heard that the relationship between the fifth girl and the Lingfang Concubine is actually not good?" After Shao Rui entered the house, she didn't have any foreshadowing.
Lin Yingxue didn't expect Shao Rui to speak so directly, and the sip of tea she drank almost didn't squirt out, "Hmm...... It's not very good. She and Lin Yingling have been at odds for a long time, and it's no secret, so she didn't hide it, but admitted it frankly.
Seeing Lin Yingxue readily admitting, Shao Rui couldn't help but smile on her face, "It's just right, I don't like her too, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and we will be friends in the future!" In the future, you will have to come to the house more often, and we will find a way to deal with that little slut together! ”
Lin Yingxue hadn't recovered from Fang Cai's surprise yet, Shao Rui's words were like a thunderbolt, and she was suddenly scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Hehe......" Lin Yingxue reluctantly hooked her lips and smiled, just lowered her head to drink tea, and did not respond to Shao Rui's words.
Shao Rui didn't mind, and pulled Lin Yingxue to talk for a long time, and then let Lin Yingxue go.
After Lin Yingxue returned to her new house with a sigh of relief, she didn't say a word, took off her headdress and fell asleep, Miaoqin and other subordinates were far away when they saw this, for fear of disturbing Lin Yingxue's rest.
It was Lin Yingxue who slept very sweetly this night, and when she opened her eyes again, there was no light outside the window, "It's so late, these girls don't know how to wake me up......"
Lin Yingxue rubbed her eyes and got up, but accidentally crashed into a strong chest, "Three...... A-jun, why are you here? ”
When Lin Yingxue saw Murong Jun, she was about to blurt out the words 'Third Highness', but under Murong Jun's knife-like gaze, she had to quickly change her words.
"The queen mother said that she would set up a banquet in the palace tomorrow to catch me and wash the dust, in order to liven up this banquet, I also invited a lot of people, and the queen mother also specially explained that I must let you go, so I came to send you an invitation." Murong Jun took out an invitation card from his sleeve and put it on the table as if he were playing a trick.
Lin Yingxue glanced at the invitation and wondered, "Why don't you let someone send it over?" I also want you to run it yourself. ”
"For if I let my servants come, I will not see you." Lin Yingxue, who had just woken up, was like a supple and well-behaved kitten, which provoked Murong Jun to reach out and pinch Lin Yingxue's face.
Lin Yingxue glanced at Murong Jun with disgust, and did not dodge, but analyzed seriously: "The queen mother is so happy, is it because the war situation on the border is good?" ”
"Hmm." Murong Jun smiled and nodded, "The Xiang Kingdom lacks stamina, and now it is already retreating, and the cities of my Rong Kingdom that have been occupied before have also been spit out, although the Rong Kingdom has only recovered the lost territory now, but this is not bad news." ”
"I see." Lin Yingxue nodded approvingly, she was about to continue speaking, but seeing Murong Jun frowning and looking her up and down, as if she was looking for something, she couldn't help but wonder: "What, is there anything on me that is worthy of such a closer look by the Third Highness?" ”
"Yes, Jade Pei." Murong Jun raised his head and looked at Lin Yingxue seriously.
Lin Yingxue originally had a smile on her face, but after hearing Murong Jun's words, the smile on her face froze suddenly, "Eh, jade pendant ......"
Lin Yingxue scratched her head, not knowing how to explain to Murong Jun.
Seeing this, the expression on Murong Jun's face disappeared in a flash, "Lost?" ”
There was already obvious displeasure in the tone of the person in front of him, "No, it's not! Seeing this, Lin Yingxue hurriedly explained: "I handed over the jade pendant to the second sister, because I think it is more appropriate to hand over the jade pendant to the second sister for safekeeping......
"The jade pendant is mine, not yours, what right do you have to hand over the jade pendant to an outsider?" That jade pendant was obviously more valuable than Lin Yingxue imagined, looking at Murong Jun's angry appearance, Lin Yingxue inexplicably felt a little hairy in her heart.
She looked at Murong Jun without blinking, and quietly moved into the bed while Murong Jun was not paying attention, and Murong Jun was obviously really angry, and after staring at Lin Yingxue for a long time, she didn't say a word, turned around and left.
