On the day of the palace banquet, Xiao Lingxiao put on a gorgeous dress made by the tailor, wore a simple flowing water vermilion jade on her head, lightly applied thin powder, and then took Bao Rong'er to the Fali Temple in front to find Xuan. Liao Xuan has also changed into a luxurious robe, and the monk is full of style. The three of them each got into two carriages and headed for the imperial city.

Liao Xuan was summoned by the Queen Mother alone, so he had to enter the palace in advance, and the two carriages separated after entering the imperial city. As soon as Xiao Lingxiao's carriage stopped near the city gate, Xiao Lingxiao heard the sound of gently knocking on the window. Bao Rong'er opened the curtain and saw Xiao Fengming riding on a horse, smiling at them and waving the horsewhip in his hand.

Xiao Fengming led the carriage through the lively streets, and soon came to a deserted place. Waiting for the carriage to stop, Xiao Fengming got off the horse, came over and opened the car door to help Xiao Lingxiao get out of the carriage, and then pointed to the courtyard of the mansion in front of him, and said, "Sister, look, this is it." ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked up and saw that the two vermilion doors seemed to have been repainted, and the plaques on the doors had been wiped clean. The two big golden characters on the plaque - Lu Mansion look a little dazzling.

As soon as the door of the mansion opened, more than a dozen subordinates lined up in two rows to greet Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao was a little surprised, Xiao Fengming hurriedly came over and explained in a low voice, "These are people who have been carefully selected by me, and my sister can rest assured that she will live in the future." ”

"You've thought it through." Xiao Lingxiao finished speaking with a smile and stepped into this Lu Mansion.

In the huge mansion, the pavilions and pavilions are all exquisite and detailed, and although some of them have been seen to be broken, they can still show the identity and status of the owner here. This Lu Mansion is where Xiao Lingxiao's mother's maiden family lives, and the original Lu family is no worse than the current Xiao family, but if you are not careful, you will end up with a full house of beheadings. Xiao Lingxiao looked at these strange things, thinking about those things that were very far away from her, but she inevitably had some sighs in her heart.

After a few glances at the courtyard, the sun was setting in the west. Xiao Fengming asked his subordinates to prepare the meal, and he and Bao Rong'er sat down to eat with Xiao Lingxiao.

"The palace banquet probably won't stop, sister, you eat a little more now, so as not to go hungry when you get it." Xiao Fengming said while desperately putting vegetables in Xiao Lingxiao's bowl.

Xiao Lingxiao's mouth was stuffed full, but there were still small mountain bags in the bowl, she waved her hand at Xiao Fengming, indicating that she couldn't eat so much, Xiao Fengming put down her chopsticks and asked with a smile, "Sister, after listening to Xuan, do you want to take advantage of this palace banquet to let the Xiao family invite you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao nodded while eating, swallowed what was in her mouth, and then she spoke, "If I had been staying in Fali Temple, wouldn't I have cheapened those who had harmed me?" ”

"But you said that you want Xiao Shumou and the old lady to kneel down and beg you, this is unlikely......" Xiao Fengming asked. After all, those two people are the backbone of the Xiao family, and no matter what, it is impossible to kneel to such a little girl as Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled when she heard this, "Actually, it's not difficult to get those two people to kneel, but all people will always bow their heads, just to see if they have been forced to that role." As long as I hold the things that Xiao Shuyong and the old lady care about the most, let alone make them kneel down and beg me, even if they draw their swords in front of me, it is not impossible to kill themselves. ”

After Xiao Lingxiao finished speaking, she buried her head in eating again, Xiao Fengming sat on the side and thought about it, looked at Xiao Lingxiao and smiled lightly.

The two of them tacitly agreed, but Bao Rong'er frowned and couldn't figure out what was going on. Seeing that Xiao Lingxiao couldn't speak while eating, she tugged on Xiao Fengming's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Fengming...... What exactly is the master going to do? ”

"I don't know." Xiao Fengming shook his head with a smile.

Bao Rong'er was stunned, "I don't know what you're laughing at!" ”

Xiao Fengming supported his chin with one hand, looked at Xiao Lingxiao who was immersed in hardship, and whispered to Bao Rong'er, "Although I don't know what my sister is going to do, I know how to make Xiao Shuyong and the old lady kneel." ”

The things that those two people care about most are nothing more than two things, the first is their own net worth and life, and the second is the reputation and status of the Xiao family. As long as one of them is under great threat, and Xiao Lingxiao becomes the key person to resolve this threat, then they have to give up their face and dignity to kneel down and beg Xiao Lingxiao. Even if I don't know what Xiao Lingxiao is going to do, I guess it must be from these two points.

Bao Rong'er was still confused after listening to Xiao Fengming's explanation, just as Xiao Lingxiao put down the dishes and chopsticks, Bao Rong'er hurriedly asked, "Master, what are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know yet." Xiao Lingxiao said with a light smile as if she had no heart or lungs.

Bao Rong'er's brows twisted into pimples, why did she feel mysterious?

Xiao Lingxiao stood up and patted Bao Rong'er on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "The calculated thing can't be done, it's better to take one step at a time." Anyway, it's those people and those things, just act when the opportunity arises. ”

Hearing this, Bao Rong'er turned her head to look at Xiao Fengming, and saw that Xiao Fengming also looked relaxed, but he was not worried at all. Bao Rong'er pursed her lips and shook her head, thinking about it carefully, she understands, anyway, the master has a divine wolf to protect her, and it is the worst of the worst, so she went to tie up Xiao Shuyong and the old lady, scaring and scaring them, and the butcher's knife Huo Huo raised it, did they dare to beg for mercy without kneeling?

Having said that, Bao Rong'er still felt that the master would not use such a simple and crude method.

Not everyone can enter the palace, and this time Xiao Lingxiao was invited, so she could only go alone. When it was almost time to take the lamp, Xiao Lingxiao got into the carriage and horse alone, leaving Xiao Fengming and Bao Rong'er in the Lu Mansion.

The carriage and horse stopped in front of the palace gate, and as soon as Xiao Lingxiao got off the carriage, he saw the sixth prince Li Jingxuan coming towards him.

The weather was already a little cold, and Li Jingxuan's cheeks were pale from the cold wind, and it looked like he had been here for a while. Xiao Ling Xiaofu bowed and said softly, "Is the Sixth Highness waiting for someone?" ”

Li Jingxuan's heart moved slightly, thinking to himself, didn't I just wait for you? But he just returned the salute and replied, "I just came from the yamen of the Criminal Department, and I happened to see the carriage and horse of Fali Temple, and I guessed that it was Miss Lingxiao." Miss Lingxiao is the first time to participate in the palace banquet, right? ”

Xiao Lingxiao nodded, "Abbot Xuan told me some rules in the palace, but I'm still afraid that I will laugh and be generous." ”

Li Jingxuan came over with a smile, lowered his voice and said in Xiao Lingxiao's ear, "I will try my best to help." ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked up at Li Jingxuan's handsome face, and whispered, "Then it's up to His Highness the Sixth Highness to take care of it." ”

The two of them were so close to each other that they seemed to others to be whispering something very intimately. Several women in the distance saw this scene as soon as they got off the carriage, and they couldn't help but turn their heads and ears.

This scene happened to be seen by several women who got off the carriage of the Xiao family, and the eldest lady Qi Shi supported the old lady and said in a low voice, "Mother, look, Ling Xiao's side, isn't that the Sixth Highness?" ”

Seeing this, the old lady's brows furrowed. Originally, she planned to bring Xiao Lingxiao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, swallowed the two million taels of silver in her hand, and then cleaned up the little girl with Qi's hand, but she didn't expect that she would be embarrassed and say that she would not come back. Now seeing that Xiao Lingxiao has become closer to the sixth prince again, and I don't know what tricks she used, the old lady suddenly felt that this girl was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Seeing the old lady looking at Xiao Lingxiao with a fierce look, Qi couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. What happened before made her a laughing stock for everyone, and when she participated in other people's banquets several times, everyone looked at her very annoyingly, and they even secretly laughed at her behind her back, the prime minister's wife, which not only made the Qi family unbearable, but also smeared the Xiao family and Xiao Shuyong's face. Qi knew that sooner or later this matter would have to be settled, and this end should also be on Xiao Lingxiao's body. It's just that Su Donghan and Xiao Lingxiao fought opposite each other but didn't get a bargain, which shocked the Qi family.

At this time, Xiao Lingxiao found the Xiao family, so she said to the six princes and walked slowly towards them.

The eldest lady Qi's eyes were cold, and she thought to herself, Xiao Lingxiao, even if you have three heads and six arms, you won't be able to jump for long. In the past, you were lucky for those things, but today, even if you have the ability, you can't change your fate!

Xiao Lingxiao walked over to meet the unkind gaze of the old lady and the eldest lady, and did not give a salute, but smiled and said softly, "I haven't seen you for many days, old lady, mother, you two are still red-faced, so I can rest assured." ”

The old lady snorted coldly when she heard this, "I don't need you to worry about us, if you have this filial piety, why don't you hurry back home?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao pretended to be stunned when she heard this, "Yo, what did the old lady say this?" Although I was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I didn't know that the Prime Minister's Mansion was a place where I could let Xiao Lingxiao go in and out casually. I was kicked out by you and my father in the first place, how dare I go back without the nod of you two? ”

When Xiao Lingxiao said this, Li Jingxuan also came over. He greeted the old lady and the eldest lady of the Xiao family with a smile, and then quietly approached Xiao Lingxiao's side, and said, "Please also rest assured that the old lady and Mrs. Xiao are relieved, the abbot of Fali Temple has sent many warrior monks to protect Miss Lingxiao, and I have also sent guards to patrol the mountains day and night, and Lingxiao is safe and sound." ”

In the last sentence, Li Jingxuan even omitted the word "girl" at the back, and anyone could hear the intimacy in it.

The old lady and the eldest lady couldn't help frowning, and behind them, Xiao Huanyu almost bit her lip when she looked at this situation.

Waiting for everyone to slowly enter the palace, Xiao Lingxiao whispered to Li Jingxuan, "It seems inappropriate for His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness to be like this, after all, Ling Xiao is an ominous person who has been edicted by the emperor to announce to the world." ”

Li Jingxuan seemed to have been punctured, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he hurriedly pretended not to care, and said with a smile, "The fourth brother has begged his father many times for this, but his father has not changed his holy will, and I don't know if my father will be shaken if the person who intercedes adds me again." ”

Xiao Lingxiao glanced up at him and sighed lightly, "Ling Xiao can't bear to let His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness destroy his future for Ling Xiao's trivial matter. ”

Li Jingxuan's face suddenly became ugly when he heard this.
