Zhu's face froze, and he smiled embarrassedly: "What is Ah Ling talking about?" When did your grandmother say that I would never set foot in Orchid Courtyard again? ”

Qiu Shi was so angry that she was about to refute, Xie Ling stopped her, and continued: "Mother still remembers being dismissed in front of the ladies in the Xiangshan Temple, Ah Ling is just worried, if the mother goes to the Prince's East Palace again this time, let the ladies find the mistakes of the past and provoke, I am afraid that this time it will not only lose my mother's face, but also make my Xie family and your Zhu family suffer from the pond fish." ”

"You-"

Zhu was so angry that his nose smoked, and Xie Hanyan on the side was even more aggrieved and shed tears.

At this time, Xie Ling said again: "Ah Yan, since grandmother said that she wants to teach you personally and raise you under her knees, you should go back to your grandmother's mercy hall as soon as possible, if you want to excel, you must first be strict with yourself!" ”

Xie Hanyan's face was also slightly pale, and Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, so he shouted: "Ah Ling, what did my mother do to be sorry for you, so that you are so unforgiving?" ”

Xie Ling looked at her and said with a smile: "What did my mother do, do you really not remember?" After that, she took out a hanging bead free gold hairpin inlaid with ruby from her sleeve and measured it in front of Zhu, "Does mother know this hanging bead free gold hairpin?" ”

Zhu's face turned pale, and he reached out to grab the hairpin in Xie Ling's hand, and blurted out in his mouth: "How can this hairpin be in your hand?" ”

Xie Hanyun was also a little surprised, she often wears this hairpin on weekdays, but today it was deliberately locked in a brocade box, how could it be in Ah Ling's hands? But after thinking about it, she soon saw something strange as well: no, it was not the same hairpin, but just similar.

"It seems that my mother has not forgotten, and you know very well what is on this hairpin, so I hope that my mother will still be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and know what you should do and what you should not do, because I may submit this hairpin to the court at any time."

Zhu's face turned pale, and before he could react to the meaning of Xie Ling's words, he saw that Xie Ling had already pulled Xie Hanyun away.

As the two of them walked away, another sentence drifted in the wind: "No rules are not a circle, since grandmother has set rules for my mother, please let my mother abide by them, don't come to the eldest sister's Lanxin Courtyard to disturb me in the future." ”

The apricot blossoms in the courtyard are falling, and they are mixed with endless cold.

Zhu Shi was so angry that his lips trembled, and he stirred the handkerchief vigorously and couldn't speak anymore.

……

"Ah Ling, what did you mean by what you just said to your mother? What's on this hairpin? After walking out of Xie's house, Xie Hanyun couldn't help asking, "I remember that you snatched the hairpin from your mother's hand at the banquet and said that you wanted to give me a hairpin salute, is this the one you dropped the bag, this is the hairpin that my mother wants to give me a hairpin salute, right?" ”

Xie Hanyun is also a very smart person, and he quickly thought of the crux of the problem.

Xie Ling knew that he couldn't hide it, so he paused and replied: "Yes, I dropped the bag, Sister, no matter what is on this hairpin, from now on, no matter what the Zhu family sends to Sister A, or what Sister asks Sister to do, Sister will stay away." ”

"Why is that?" Xie Hanyun was also suspicious, "Ah Ling, is this hairpin poisonous?" But why did my mother hurt me again and again? ”

"The Zhu family and my Xie family don't have the same heart, and I don't know why? My only guess now is that she must be doing something for someone else. ”

"Another person? So this person is Xiao Zhengde? ”

"I'm not sure yet, after all, there are a lot of mysteries involved." At this point, Xie Ling comforted Xie Hanyun again, "Okay, Sister, you don't have to worry about this matter, just think about how to behave well at Ding Gui's concubine's banquet today." ”

Looking at the smile in Xie Ling's eyes, although Xie Hanyun was puzzled in his heart, he didn't feel it, and couldn't help but secretly say: After Ah Ling came back from Luofu Mountain, not only has she grown up and matured a lot, but she seems to be more and more like the head of the family, but why has this mind become so deep, even I can't guess what she is thinking in her heart?

Just thinking about it, in Wuyi Alley, Xie Xi and Wang Liulang, Wang Yun and a group of Wang Xie disciples walked towards them, these Wang Xie disciples were almost all dressed in black clothes or white clothes, with clogs on their feet, Shi Shiran walked over, quite riding the wind, all of them looked arbitrary and proud, and the distant mountains were as cold and snowy as unattainable.

It's no wonder that some people say that the children of their Wang Xie family are too conceited to be approachable, and it is really because of their innate identity that they have the capital of arrogance and arrogance, so that they often can't recognize the current situation, so they ended up like that in their previous lives!

Thinking of the bloody massacre carried out by Hou Jing in his previous life in order to vent his resentment, these children of Wang Xie, who were so proud that they didn't even care about the royal family, Xie Ling couldn't calm down in his heart.

"Xie Ling, why are you looking at me dumbfounded again, is it that my Wang Liulang's charm is getting bigger and bigger, and even you can't stop it?"

Awakened by Wang Yun's voice, Xie Ling rolled his eyes angrily: "You are the only one who is so cheeky and has charm on your lips, and you really think that you can be invincible if you are handsome." ”

Wang Yun laughed a few times, and put his hand on Xie Ling's shoulder very unceremoniously: "Okay, let's try it at the banquet in the Prince's East Palace today, let you see, in fact, in addition to being more handsome than you, my talent must also be above you Xie Ling?" ”

Xie Ling smiled and said, "I'm afraid that this time you will not only lose to me, but also to another person." ”

"What a crazy tone, so who is this other person you are talking about?"

Xie Ling shook his head and didn't say anything, and Xie Xi at this time continued: "Okay, stop joking with the fifth brother, let's get in the car and set off, at three o'clock, there will be a banquet, after all, it is the prince's invitation to the banquet, we can't lose our courtesy!" ”

"Yes, yes."

The children of the Xie family replied yes, Wang Yun couldn't help but pout, pointed at Xie Xi and said to Xie Ling: "Look at you, Brother Xie Xi, you will always be such a serious book, where is it like learning the Tao, you are clearly a Confucian student." After that, he laughed again, "Okay, okay, let's get in the car!" ”

Seven or eight ox carts were fully loaded, and they drove towards the Prince's East Palace in Dongfu City.

Within an hour, he had arrived at the private garden built by Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong never likes luxury, not good sound, but only his own private garden ancient Xuanpu built extremely quiet and beautiful, the garden not only built pavilions, chiseled good spring pools, led the living water into it, surrounded into a large lake area, for people to boat on the lake, in the meantime.

Because in his previous life, he often sat at the banquet of the East Palace, Xie Ling is naturally no stranger to this, and today's East Palace is naturally full of traffic and water, and the door is like a city.

Xie Ling, Wang Yun, Xie Hanyun and others got out of the carriage, and saw another luxurious carriage on the opposite side stopped, and a slave knelt on the ground, and then turned his back to a pier, and greeted a man in the carriage.

The man was dressed in an ink-cut robe, with ancient jade hanging from his waist, and he was full of compelling luxury, Xie Ling recognized this man at a glance as Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe.

There was another person who got out of the carriage with Xiao Zhengde, but the person was dressed in white and covered his face with a hat, so that people could not see his face.

But it was not difficult for Xie Ling to guess that this person must be Chen Shuo.

When Xiao Zhengde got out of the carriage, he quickly saw Xie Ling and Xie Hanyun and Wang Yun and others, the corners of his lips curled, and he walked towards Xie Ling very enthusiastically, and greeted: "It's really a coincidence, as soon as I arrived at the East Palace, I saw several famous Wang Xie Gaomen disciples in my Jiankang City, what a blessing!" ”

Wang Yun also looked down on Xiao Zhengde a little, and did not answer, but Xie Xi politely replied: "His Royal Highness King Linhe, fortunately!" ”

Xiao Zhengde's gaze turned around, and after deliberately staying on Xie Hanyun's face for a moment, it then fell on Xie Ling.

"I heard that Xie Wulangjun is not only smart and beautiful, but also has strange skills, I wonder if this king is lucky enough to see him?"

Xie Hanyun saw Xiao Zhengde's frivolous and flamboyant face, and thought that Xie Ling said that the person who deceived her in Hongdou Nunnery that day was most likely him, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

However, Xie Ling replied calmly: "His Royal Highness King Linhe is also hidden, and his chest is full of changes, I don't know if the injury under the elbow still hurts?" ”

In the confusion of Wang Yun and the others, Xiao Zhengde's face changed slightly, and he immediately laughed: "Xie Xiaolangjun is so funny, how do you know that I have an injury under my elbow, could it be that Xie Xiaolangjun likes to explore people's privacy, or is he kind to this king?" ”

"You-" Xie Hanyun was really angry, so he had to argue.

Xie Ling replied: "His Royal Highness King Linhe, don't be too complacent, the pain under your elbow is just to remind Your Highness not to do more injustice, otherwise, I'm afraid Your Highness will be wiped out today." ”

When Xiao Zhengde heard this, he laughed even louder: "Really? Heaven is me? That king really wants to take a good look, how the heavens are going to kill me! ”

After saying that, he beckoned the white-clothed man beside him and strode towards the ancient Xuanpu.

Wang Yun couldn't help but wonder: "Ah Ling, what did you say to King Linhe just now?" You say everything I say, you yourself understand, we are all confused, what do you mean? ”

Xie Ling leaned into his ear and whispered, "I once stabbed a person in Xiangshan Temple, and it was under his elbow that I was injured!" ”

Wang Yun's face changed suddenly: "You mean, he is that person, the ...... who bullies"

Under Xie Ling's gaze, his words suddenly stopped.

"Rokuro, I might ask you to do me a favor today."

"What's the busy?"

Xie Ling handed over a scroll of silk to Wang Yun and explained: "You just do it." Whether the children of my Wang Xie family can shine at the banquet today and win fame depends on what you do? At the same time, this is a little reward for you. ”

Wang Yun picked up the scroll and looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but be shocked, and he was even more dumbfounded in the speechless shock.
