Chapter 22: Visitors to the Palace
Inside the room, Luo Rujin was dressed in a dark purple gown, with a beautiful silver silk in a casual and elegant bun, sitting sideways in front of the table, on which there were large and small delicate and beautiful brocade boxes.
"It turned out that Sister Xiahou is here!" Murong Xue smiled, and a soft and pleasant voice reached Ling Ling's ears.
"Hello, I'm looking for grandma." Ling Ling smiled indifferently, nodded, skipped Murong Xue, walked into the room, and sat casually on the stool next to Luo Rujin, looking at Luo Rujin with questioning eyes.
A trace of anger flashed in Murong Xue's eyes, but she hid it very well with a smile, and she slowly sat down beside Ling Ling.
Luo Rujin looked at Ling Ling, who didn't know anything, and felt a touch of distress in his heart. She smiled, looked at Ling Ling with doting eyes, and said softly,
"I used to be Xue'er's etiquette talent teacher, and today she came to the palace and brought some things to visit me." Luo Bijin said softly.
Ling Ling smiled faintly when he heard this,
"I haven't seen you for half a month, I miss my grandma a little, I want to come over to talk to my grandma today, but I didn't expect Sister Murong to be there, I don't know if I bothered the two of you?"
Murong Xue said with a smile, "How can there be anything to disturb and not bother, today I came to Jingwang Mansion, I wanted to talk to Feiye and grandma, but Feiye didn't come back from this outing, so I directly brought the gadgets prepared in advance to grandma, and talked a lot with grandma, I really didn't expect to meet Sister Xiahou." ”
Sensing the subtle change in Murong Xue's attitude, Luo Bijin's eyes were a little complicated.
She is the one who watched Murong Xue grow up, and she knows that Murong Xue is arrogant.
Half a month ago, she heard Jinrong come back and tell her about Bai Feiye's birthday in the main hall, and at that time she guessed that Murong Xue had already regarded Ling Ling as a thorn in her side and a stumbling block!
Not to mention the strong backing behind Murong Xue, she is delicate, and her reputation in Baixi Country is also very good, and most importantly, she also knows some things about Bai Feiye and Murong Xue before......
"Spirit girl, I heard that you were sick a few days ago, but now you are feeling better?"
Luo Bijin retracted his thoughts and changed the topic.
"Thank you grandma for your concern, it's over."
Ling Ling said, looked at Murong Xue and then at Luo Rujin, felt that the atmosphere at the moment made her a little uncomfortable, and got up and said,
"Since it's rare for Sister Murong to come here, then I won't disturb the two of us chatting, and I'll come back to grandma later."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Sister Xiahou stays!"
Murong Xue's delicate and beautiful voice sounded behind her, she looked at Luo Rujin with a smile in her eyes, and raised her hand slightly to salute,
"Xue'er came over today, gave the gadgets to grandma, and pestered grandma to talk for so long, it's really inconvenient to bother grandma anymore. Xue'er will go back first, and come to the palace to see grandma another day! ”
Luo Rujin smiled elegantly, "That's fine, you've been out for so long, if you don't go back, Murong Taifu will worry about you." ”
"Thank you for your understanding!"
Murong Xue spoke elegantly and decently, turned her eyes to Ling Ling, who was facing away from her, moved in front of her, and smiled.
"I don't know my sister, can you give me a face and walk with me for a while?"
Ling Ling raised his eyes to look at Murong Xue, who was smiling and elegant.
She didn't think that they were so familiar that Murong Xue left the house and asked her to send them, but her words had already been said, if she didn't accompany her, it would seem that she didn't understand human feelings, and she raised the corners of her mouth.
"Okay."
Luo Rujin watched Ling Ling and Murong Xue leave the courtyard, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were complicated.
"Hello Miss Murong!"
"Okay."
"Miss Murong!"
……
Along the way, the subordinates who came and went in the palace greeted Murong Xue cordially and warmly, and Murong Xue replied patiently with a smile one by one, generous and decent.
On the other hand, Ling Ling, who lived in the mansion, after the subordinates of the mansion greeted Murong Xue warmly, they only saluted her slightly.
Ling Ling didn't care about such a contrasting treatment, after all, she was just a guest in the mansion who had no backing, she knew in her heart that Murong Xue was better than the backstage!
"Sister Xiahou, don't care too much, I used to come to King Jing's Mansion often, and I was very happy with the people in the palace, so they greeted me like this." Murong Xue said casually.
Ling Ling's face was calm and calm, and he secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.
I don't know what the reason is, Ling Ling always felt that Murong Xue had a shallow hostility towards her, and she had felt this way since Bai Feiye's birthday.
However, Ling Ling didn't have a good impression of her, she always felt that Murong Xue's sincerity to her was superficial, and Murong Xue's casualness was deliberate.
She smiled faintly, and said lightly, "They have nothing to do with me, so why should I care." ”
Murong Xue kept smiling, and while looking at her surroundings, she sighed softly,
"I just casually said that it would be better to have more shade in the palace, but I didn't expect to see it for a few months, and I ordered someone to plant so many trees in the night."
Ling Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued to walk casually.
Murong Xue seemed to think that Ling Ling did not exist, and continued to say to herself,
"Feiye likes to write, I don't know if I ran out of rice paper last time."
“……”
Ling Ling ignored her and walked forward on his own. Murong Xue continued as if she had opened a conversation.
"I don't know if the decoration of the Snow Ning Pavilion is still the same as before."
Murong Xue smiled slightly, staring ahead, as if she was stuck in a memory, with a soft face.
Ling Ling's heart jumped, she didn't think about it, her face naturally maintained a "has nothing to do with me" demeanor, her bright eyes stared at the road ahead, and continued to walk.
Murong Xue saw that Ling Ling still didn't react, but her interest was even higher.
"In the past, every birthday on a non-night basis, I would go to the temple fair in the night city, my sister knows, why?"
Murong Xue's words advanced layer by layer, as if everything was related to her, constantly arousing Ling Ling's curiosity.
Ling Ling didn't control it for a while, his fists hidden in his cuffs were clenched, he turned his head and raised his eyes, and looked at Murong Xue with a smile on his face, a beautiful little face.
Seeing that Ling Ling finally had a reaction, the smile on Murong Xue's face was even greater,
"It's rare to have a happy chat with my sister, I also want to tell my sister, but I won't let me tell outsiders at night, Sister Xiahou, I'm sorry, I didn't take care of my mouth, I didn't control my sister when I saw it, and I asked my sister to ......."
"Sister Murong, it's at the door."
Ling Ling interrupted her words, looking at Murong Xue's eyes without showing any emotion, the natural upward corners of her mouth showed that she was calm and calm, Ling Ling nodded slightly to Murong Xue, and then turned around and walked back.
Murong Xue stood in place, her beautiful peach blossom eyes staring at the pear blossom white figure who was getting farther and farther away, and a touch of ruthlessness gradually appeared on her smiling face.
When she learned that Bai Feiye had taken Ling Ling to the temple fair, she was angry! How many times did she want to accompany him before, but Bai Feiye always refused, but now he actually took her to the temple fair! Murong Xue's heart was full of unwillingness.
A few days ago, the person she placed in the palace told her that Bai Fei went out at night, and Ling Ling was sick and bedridden and needed to recuperate for half a month.
After learning that Ling Ling was able to go out, she found an opportunity to come to King Jing's Mansion.
The people in the palace told her that Ling Ling usually went to Luo Nijin's courtyard to sit down when she had nothing to do, and she was a success in waiting for the rabbit today.
Murong Xue came today, just to see Ling Ling's attitude towards Bai Feiye, although Ling Ling tried his best to hide it, people's subconscious reactions would not be wrong, for example, her cuffs were somewhat deformed by the hands inside.
Bai Feiye is the person she likes, even if she wants to be the imperial concubine and can't be with him, she will never allow Bai Feiye to treat other women specially.
What's more, now that Ling Ling's influence was beyond the scope of what she could accept, Bai Yixiu wanted to pass Ling Ling into the palace several times after the palace banquet that day, but she cleverly dispelled the idea.
The most hateful thing is that Ling Ling danced in the palace that day, which made everyone remember deeply, she always heard some moon fox chanting in the palace from time to time praising Ling Ling's dance, and some people said that she was better than the first dance artist in Baixi Country......
So, how could she possibly tolerate her presence!
As long as she was allowed to find an opportunity, she must let Ling Ling know what a pathetic existence she was.
Murong Xue's eyes darkened, turned around and raised a bright smile, and walked out of King Jing's Mansion.
