Chapter 37: Harem Disaster (3)
Inside the Sky Palace.
The eighth princess Ling Long stood at the bottom, hiding her face and crying, and there was a woman about thirty years old sitting on the upper seat, dressed in palace clothes graceful and luxurious, covered with green silk covered by various pearls and emeralds, with a delicate face, beautiful eyes like anger and anger, a small red lips are delicate, even though the beautiful eyes are angry, but still full of different styles, this is the Mei Guifei who is now favored by the sixth palace, the grandson Mei'er of the Gongsun family.
"Why did you sneak out of the palace?" Mei Guifei said softly.
Princess Ling Long raised her head, glanced at Concubine Mei very aggrievedly, and stopped talking.
"Do you want to go to the inn?" Mei Guifei continued to ask. Looking at Ling Long, there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.
"I ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Ling Long stuck the latter words in her throat, she was embarrassed to say that she secretly went out of the palace to see a man.
Concubine Mei looked at her originally sharp-toothed daughter, but at this moment, she was even more angry: "What? Is that unspeakable? Do you want me to help you say that you sneaked out of the palace, regardless of your identity and royal face, just for the sake of that boy from Xuanwu! โ
As he spoke, his eyes that looked at Ling Long revealed more resentment that hated iron but not steel.
Princess Ling Long had never seen her mother's eyes like this, and she seemed to be said to be critical, and she lowered her head.
Concubine Mei was extremely dissatisfied with Situ Lie's attitude at the reception banquet that day, her precious daughter grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, and she was a princess of a country, it was his blessing to be able to see his boss Tu Lie, but Situ Lie had such an attitude. But I don't want my daughter to be even more uncompetitive, people's attitudes are so obvious, and they have to rush up. When I think of this, I can't suppress the anger in my body.
"I will discuss with your father, you are not too young, I will find a colt for you, now it seems that the son of the Xiao family is not bad, and his official position in the court is not low. Moreover, the Xiao family and my grandson's family are world friends, and Xiao Ao's character, everyone knows that it is most suitable for you to marry him. โ
Before Concubine Mei's words were finished, Princess Ling Long shouted anxiously: "I don't marry, I only like Situ Lie, if he doesn't marry, you let me marry Xiao Ao, I'd rather die!" After speaking, he left the Yunxiao Palace without looking back, and the angry Concubine Mei Guifei's face turned pale.
In the Bifang Pavilion, the little maid walked in from outside and said, "Niangniang, the eighth princess seems to have had a conflict with Concubine Mei because of the matter of the regent of Xuanwu, and she rushed out of the Yunxiao Palace in a rage, and is now hanging out in the imperial garden!" โ
When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately opened her eyebrows and smiled: "Bring the food that the eighth princess likes, and the palace also wants to go shopping in the imperial garden!" โ
Who would have thought that Concubine Li was looking for someone to pay attention to Princess Linglong's movements early in the morning, and this morning she saw that she wanted to sneak out of the palace, so she found a palace maid with a face to report to Concubine Mei, as expected, there was really a conflict between the two mothers and daughters, and now as long as Concubine Li uses a little force, it is not a big problem to win the trust of the eighth princess.
In the Imperial Garden, Princess Ling Long lost her temper, how many flowers she destroyed, and she was so anxious to manage the maids in the Imperial Garden, but the identity of the other party was not good.
Concubine Li saw Princess Linglong's teeth and claws from a distance, and smiled even more happily.
After walking in, he asked with concern, "Ling Long, what's wrong with you?" What made our eighth princess so angry? โ
Ling Long looked up and saw that it was Concubine Li, so he turned his face to the side and continued his movements. Concubine Li didn't get angry when she saw Ling Long's movements, but sighed, and then said, "Although I'm not your biological mother, seeing you so angry, I'm afraid that you'll be angry!" As he spoke, he showed an extremely caring expression.
Who knew that Princess Linglong didn't eat this at all, and said loudly: "Don't worry about it!" โ
Concubine Li looked at this Ling Long's attitude, even if she was very angry, she had to suppress it, and said: "How can I not worry, if you are angry, then Situ Lie is afraid that you will also be distressed!" โ
Princess Linglong, who was still angry, heard Situ Lie's three words, like a fighting instantly smoothing her towering feathers, and instantly became much more docile.
"What do you say? Have you also heard that he refused to marry? As he spoke, the disappointment on Ling Long's face grew.
Concubine Li didn't expect that the mention of Situ Lie would have such an effect, so she continued: "I'm afraid that the eighth princess is wrong, it is said that Situ Lie does not hate the princess, but repeatedly mentions the princess's name. โ
"What?" The eighth princess was excited, and seemed to shout out.
Concubine Li looked at Princess Linglong's appearance, and said happily: "A maid who used to serve in the palace is now cleaning in the post house, and this time several envoys visited, so she was assigned to Situ Lie's courtyard as a miscellaneous envoy, and I heard her say that Situ Lie often mentions the name of the eighth princess, and I don't think I have no feelings for the princess." โ
For Ling Long, these words were like the dawn in the darkness, illuminating a way forward for himself.
Ling Long's originally sad eyes had already changed to a look of brilliance, and he asked, "Can Concubine Li tell me about Situ Lie's movements in the future, Ling Long will be very grateful!" โ
Concubine Li didn't answer, but said: "The eighth princess hasn't eaten yet, the palace just came to sit in this imperial garden, so she brought a lot of pastries, the princess is willing to try it!" As soon as the words fell, Ah Lian, the maid on the side, put a few delicious snacks on the table, and the delicate pastries emitted bursts of fragrance, causing Linglong on the side to swallow her saliva. Only then did he remember that he was bent on sneaking out of the palace, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and now he was already hungry, and the things in front of him were all his favorite food, so he threw a grateful look at Concubine Li, and simply took a big gulp!
