After moving to Yongshou Palace, Lingxi's mood became more and more calm. This palace carries so many memories for her, and returning here makes her feel like a child who has been wandering away for many years has returned home.

When she has nothing to do, she will take the five princesses and the five princes around in the Yongshou Palace. Go to see the early blooming lotus, go to see the Wutong Palace, and see the waterfront pavilion that was demolished and demolished by the princess of Allure.

The only one who didn't take the five princesses and the five princes was the Changle Palace. Changle Hall is a forbidden place in Lingxi's heart, and it cannot be touched.

On June 25, the eighth year of Yong'an, the weather was still sunny when it was clear, and it was cloudy after breakfast. After a while, the light rain fell like the tears of a beauty.

Sent Xia Qing Xia Tong to take the five princesses and the five princes to play in the Luoxue Pavilion, Lingxi held the hand of the lotus leaf, and slowly walked into the courtyard of the Changle Hall according to his heart. In the drizzle, looking at the majestic main hall, Lingxi's expression was in a trance.

She couldn't tell what time it was for a while, as if as soon as she approached the remote part of the main hall, Zhiqiu or Zhixia would come out and shout to her, "Miss Ling'er is back, Niangniang has just woken up, and she is calling you." ”

"Niangniang......" Lotus Ye saw that Lingxi's expression was in a trance, and called softly, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back." ”

Lingxi's eyes blinked, and he pulled back his thoughts. glanced at Changle Hall nostalgically, turned back slightly, and said, "Go back." ”

Xiao Dezi also turned around, and held the oil-paper umbrella with willow smoke painted on his hand on Lingxi's head, so as not to let Lingxi get touched by the rain.

Hanyan was dressed in a pale pink second-class palace maid's dress, holding an umbrella with a picture of a lady and hurrying from a distance. Walking in front of Lingxi, he blessed his body with smoke, and said, "Niangniang, the imperial doctor has come to ask Niangniang for peace." ”

Lingxi nodded, knowing that there was news about the matter that Imperial Physician Wang had inquired about, otherwise there would be no summons, and Imperial Physician Wang would not have come in the drizzle.

Back in the Luoxue Pavilion, Imperial Physician Wang was already sitting in the outer hall drinking tea. Seeing Lingxi coming in, Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly stood up and asked Lingxi for peace.

Lingxi raised his hand to take off the crystal tassel hanging on the bun, and said to the imperial physician with a light smile, "Imperial physician Wang doesn't need to be polite, please speak in the inner hall." ”

came to the inner hall and sat down, Qiaozhu took Hanyu to offer a tea cup, and then retreated after saluting.

Lingxi stretched out his white right hand and made a gesture to the imperial physician.

Imperial Physician Wang got up and thanked him, took a sip of the teacup, but his eyes swept to the lotus leaf standing beside Lingxi.

Seeing this, Lingxi affectionately took Lotus Ye's hand and said with a smile, "Although Lotus Ye is the maidservant of this palace, she has shared joys and sorrows with this palace in the past few years, and this palace has long regarded her as her own sister." Imperial Physician Wang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Imperial Physician Wang put the teacup in his hand, stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, the old minister will tell the mother about the inquire." ”

Lingxi's left hand caressed the white jade teacup embossed with magnolia flowers, and her beautiful eyes smiled, "Hmm." ”

Imperial Physician Wang took out a somewhat old painting scroll from the wide sleeve, handed it to Lingxi, and said, "Niangniang will take a look at this first." ”

The lotus leaf immediately stepped forward and unfolded the scroll with Imperial Physician Wang.

On the scroll, a pretty girl stands under a tree with apricot blossoms. The girl wore a baby pink embroidered green leaf short shirt on her upper body, and a lotus-colored ribbon tied a butterfly knot on her chest, and the tail end hung down to the green Luo skirt. There are a pair of earrings made of jade beads in the ear, and a few beaded flowers that have long been outdated on the hairpin, and no gold, silver and jade ornaments are worn.

The girl raised her head lightly, and held a fan painted with pink petals in her right hand, and the fan surface of the fan gently held the flower branches, as if looking at the bird half-hidden in the apricot blossoms. There was an indifferent smile on his immature face, and the small dimple on his left cheek was particularly conspicuous.

Lingxi squinted his eyes lightly, looking at the person in the painting in a trance. After a long time, Lingxi said, "This person looks a little familiar. ”

Imperial Physician Wang chuckled and said, "The person in this painting was painted by Situ Youshi and Lu Shi, and it has been more than 20 years since now. Lao Chen also took a lot of effort to find it from Youjia. ”

"Situ You's ......" Lingxi recalled Mrs. Situ who gave her a piece of jade pendant in the imperial garden many years ago, and smiled with relief, "No wonder it looks familiar, I had a relationship with her many years ago." ”

"Niangniang......" Holding the lotus leaf of the painting scroll, she looked at Situ Youshi on the painting scroll, frowned, and said, "Niangniang doesn't think that the person on this painting is similar to Niangniang?" ”

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, as if his heart had been hit by something. She turned her head to look at Imperial Physician Wang, and saw that Imperial Physician Wang was smiling and nodding to herself.

Collecting the surprise in his eyes, Ling Xi ordered the lotus leaf to put away the painting, and said to the Imperial Physician Wang with a calm expression, "Imperial Physician Wang, please speak directly." ”

Imperial Physician Wang put the re-rolled scroll in front of Lingxi and said to Lingxi, "After many inquiries by the old minister, I learned that Situ Yi's family had gone to the capital in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yonghe to run around for the official career. When Yonghe left Beijing 14 years later to work, he lost his six-year-old daughter Situ Jing at home. At that time, Situ Yi was anxious to go to Jiangnan to take up his post, so he left several family members in the capital to find Miss Situ's whereabouts. It's a pity that the heavens don't follow people's wishes, and it wasn't until the summer of the eighteenth year of Yong'an that Situ Yi was transferred back to the capital to take up a post, and he found Miss Situ, who was already ten years old...... Guess what,? Doctor Wang's eyebrows moved, and he said meaningfully, "It turns out that the eldest lady of the Situ family was actually saved by a bird training craftsman in Uncle Cui's warm garden at that time......

Lingxi's eyes moved slightly, but there was no trace of waves on his face.

It wasn't until Imperial Physician Wang said that she said calmly, "It's just that the real Miss Situ entered the palace by mistake because she trained a talking wren." And the Ye family was greedy for money, so they used their own daughter to impersonate them, right? ”

"Clever!" Imperial Physician Wang looked straight at Lingxi and said with a smile, "You are the real eldest lady of the Situ family, a noble concubine, an impostor!" ”

Seeing that Lingxi was silent, Imperial Physician Wang said again, "Niangniang, isn't the current matter exactly what Niangniang is anxious about?" ”

Although Imperial Physician Wang's words were not explicitly stated, Lingxi also knew it in his heart.

As long as you recognize the Situ family, you will have something to rely on behind you, not only can you stand firm in the harem, but you can also give a heavy blow to the noble concubine.

It's just that things are really as simple as they seem? His body was already six years old when he was lost from Situ's house. I don't remember because the real Miss Yan of the Situ family died as early as six years old due to unknown factors, and she is just a ghost floating over thousands of years later.

But doesn't the Situ family remember?

Lingxi thinks that she doesn't look like a noble concubine, and the ten-year-old doll will easily make the Situ family, who has been looking for four years, recognize the wrong person?

Or not!

Concubine Xiu said before she died that the jade pendant with the family totem could only be worn by the grandson of the Situ family. met by chance in the imperial garden, but Mrs. Situ gave the jade pendant that symbolized her status to the five princes.

This proves that Mrs. Situ has long known that she is her biological daughter, and she has long known that Xian Guifei is a fake.

In this case, Lingxi was not stupid enough to think that the Situ family would easily recognize him. On the contrary, the Xian Gui Concubine was only bearing the honor of the Situ family at this time, and the Situ family was both prosperous and lost.

Lingxi closed his eyes and pondered carefully, and found that the fact that he was Miss Situ did not bring any benefit to the calculation, but brought endless troubles.

Lingxi finally understood why Concubine Xian's attitude towards herself changed greatly after Concubine Xiu entered the palace, and even in the back, Concubine Xiu was pregnant with a dragon heir, and after coming to Lingyan Hall several times to ask for peace, Concubine Xian Gui would return to the abolished Zhu family and set such a trap for herself.

The reason for all this is that the noble concubine is afraid, she is afraid that the dragon heir in her belly is a prince and will be promoted to the concubine directly......

Between the adopted daughter who is a noble concubine and the daughter who is a concubine, it is easy to shake the Situ family. For the sake of grace, for the sake of glory and wealth, and for the sake of a backer like the Situ family, how could the noble concubine not be afraid of herself?

After a long time, Lingxi sighed, opened his eyes and said, "Concubine Xiu really died, she and the eighth prince she gave birth to have become the straw for the noble concubine to grasp the lifeblood of the Situ family. Although the palace is a concubine, she is weak because she lost a pair of daughters. Although no one said anything, I was afraid that the Situ family had already thought that the palace had no possibility of giving birth to an heir, and the fifth prince was crowned king at a young age, and the emperor also said that he did not want to make him the crown prince...... The Situ family can only point to the Eighth Emperor to ascend to the throne and win the glory for the Situ family......"

As soon as Ling Xi said a few words, Imperial Physician Wang's wrinkled face showed an expression of sudden realization. He stood up and saluted Lingxi, and said, "The old minister's thinking is shallow, but the mother is thoughtful. I'm afraid this thing will not bring glory to Niangniang, but a predicament......"

"It's a dilemma indeed." Lingxi took a bite of the cold tea, and the cold tea juice flowed between his lips and teeth, leaving a trace of bitterness, "On the day Concubine Xiu gave birth to the Eighth Prince, she called the palace several times and three times. A shrewd person like Xian Gui Concubine must know what Xiu Concubine said to this palace. Now, I'm afraid that she is holding the Eighth Prince in her arms, and she is calculating in her heart how to bring down the palace to relieve her worries......"

"No......" Lingxi frowned, closed his eyes and thought carefully about the day of Xiu Concubine's birth. Suddenly, Lingxi opened his eyes, looked at Imperial Physician Wang, and said, "When you inquired about this, did you find that other people were also inquiring?" ”

"This ......," Imperial Physician Wang lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I really haven't found it...... However, the people sent out by the old minister said that they had seen Pan Changfei and Master Pan come to Situ's mansion as a guest, and the two families had never been in contact, but they suddenly wanted to marry, which can be regarded as a miracle......"

Lingxi's heart sank, and he said softly, "Needless to say, this palace knows......"

After Imperial Physician Wang retreated, Lingxi said to the lotus leaf, "Go, I ordered the small kitchen, stew a cup of rock sugar bird's nest carefully, and I will go to the Zichen Palace in the afternoon to greet the emperor." ”

Lotus Ye was happy in her eyes and said, "Niangniang has thought clearly?" ”

"I want to hide like this, but I'm afraid that Concubine Ying and Concubine Xian don't have that kind of patience." Lingxi Mei stared at the white jade teacup that only filled half a cup of tea soup in a daze, sighed deeply, and said, "Now that the matter is over, do I still have a choice?" ”
