Xiao Lingxiao had fought with Xiao Fengming before, and knew that he was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was also a master. Compared with Xiao Ranjun, Xiao Fengming's unwillingness seems to be a little more. He came to Xiao Lingxiao, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "I'll be more careful next time." ”

Xiao Lingxiao jumped out of the carriage when she heard this, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Aren't I fine?" Don't worry about it. After that, she glanced up at the direction of the ridge in the distance, these two people were only angry and killed people just now, and they didn't even leave a single mouth alive. But it's not a big deal, who is the person behind them, the three of them know in their hearts. Xiao Lingxiao smiled coldly, and thought to herself, eldest lady, eldest lady, do you think that I, Xiao Lingxiao, will be killed by you so easily? If I don't die this time, you're going to be out of luck!

Xiao Lingxiao called Bao Rong'er and whispered a few words, Bao Rong'er snickered when she heard this, nodded and left.

Xiao Lingxiao returned to the carriage, driven by Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming, and when they came to the mansion of the eldest princess Mingci, the banquet in the mansion had already begun.

In the hall, the four princes sat next to the eldest princess Mingci, their faces full of joy, but their hearts were restless. He heard that the Xiao family's carriage and horses had encountered a collision with people on the street, and the carriage that Xiao Lingxiao was riding was missing. There was obviously something wrong with this matter, but the eldest lady of the Xiao family just said lightly that the eldest prince and the third prince had gone to look for it, and they didn't seem to care very much.

Today's birthday banquet of the eldest princess Mingci, the four princes want to be filial to the eldest princess's birthday banquet, so there is no way to leave.

The banquet started for a while, and the eldest princess of Mingci asked the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Qi, with a little worry, "There has been no news of the carriage for so long, why don't I send someone to take a look?" ”

Qi smiled and waved his hand, "The eldest princess doesn't have to worry, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the country and the people are safe, but they have been washed away, and it won't take long to arrive." ”

The fourth prince listened to this beside him, and his heart couldn't help but move. He had long known that the eldest lady of the Xiao family was not good to Xiao Lingxiao, but he didn't expect that she would not even bother to do face-saving work. If something really happened to Xiao Lingxiao, could she shirk responsibility? Or...... What did she arrange?

The fourth prince's heart sank when he thought of this, but before he could make a move, someone had already come to his side and whispered, "The eldest lady of the Xiao family and the others have arrived." ”

When the fourth prince heard this, his spirits perked up, and his eyes suddenly released a brilliance that even he had not noticed.

Xiao Lingxiao and the three appeared, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. None of the three men have ever been seen before, but rumors about them have long been circulating.

Xiao Lingxiao, who came back from the dead, was born beautiful and dignified, her pink dress reflected her pink face, and her deep eyes were moving, no wonder the four princes were infatuated with her. Xiao Dagongzi, who left the Xiao family to study since he was a child, has a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which is indeed different from the sons of other rich and noble families present. And the third son of Xiao who has a bizarre background, although his eyes are as cold as ice, his appearance is so handsome that people can't take their eyes off.

The three juniors of the Xiao family amazed everyone present.

Xiao Lingxiao came to the front of the main seat and stopped, looked up and saw the eldest lady sitting next to the eldest princess Mingci with great surprise on her face, and couldn't help but sneer secretly. Turning to find the hot gaze of the four princes, Xiao Lingxiao avoided his gaze, and her heart was full of disgust.

At this time, Xiao Ranjun spoke, "Our three brothers and sisters are late for their birthdays, and we also ask the eldest princess to forgive us." ”

The eldest princess of Mingci looked at them with a smile, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Lingxiao's body, take a closer look, this girl is really smart, but it is not the best to compare it among these nobles in the imperial city.

"I've heard everything on the road, I don't blame you, sit down." The eldest princess Mingci said, and asked the maids around her to lead the three of them to sit down in the banquet of the male and female guests.

Xiao Lingxiao sat next to Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue according to the rules, and the two obviously didn't expect Xiao Lingxiao to appear, so they didn't greet her with a black face.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't care about them, looked up at the male guests on the opposite side, and the few seats near the main seat were all young men. The sixth prince Li Jingxuan is impressively listed, so naturally he will not be wrong. Except for them, everyone else's seats are placed a little farther away.

After three rounds of wine, everyone began to show their talents to celebrate the birthday of Princess Mingci. Whenever there is such a banquet, it is an opportunity for young men and women to find a good match, so almost all of these young ladies have taken out the ability to take care of their families, even Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue are no exception. Two identical beauties play the piano and flute ensemble, which is perfectly combined, and the cooperation is seamless, which makes people applaud.

When the two of them got off the field, the eldest princess of Mingci on the main seat seemed to suddenly remember something, and clapped her hands with a smile and said, "These two beautiful girls are still so painful, they come up, is it the turn of the Xiao family?" Come on, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family came to me for the first time, she must have prepared something, come and show it to the big guys. ”

When everyone heard this, they echoed it. They all heard that Xiao Lingxiao was blind and dumb before, and she didn't know anything, and everyone naturally knew that the four princes' pleas for the emperor's marriage were repeatedly rejected, and everyone could see that the four princes were begging the eldest princess, and the eldest princess said this to test whether the eldest lady of the Xiao family was enough to be the concubine of the fourth prince.

Xiao Lingxiao had long expected that this matter would not be avoided, but fortunately, she was confident, got up and smiled lightly, "Since the eldest princess has something to say, Lingxiao should obey her fate." ”

The eldest princess of Mingci did not flinch when she saw Xiao Lingxiao's generosity, so she had a good impression of her, and asked, "Then tell me, what do you want to perform?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao lowered her head as if thinking for a moment, and then raised her head and said to the eldest princess, "Just now, all the young ladies showed their talents, piano, painting, singing and dancing, and I was not as good as them." Ling Xiao heard that the eldest princess recently got a pet dog, and she didn't know if she could order someone to bring it to open everyone's eyes. ”

The eldest princess of Mingci has no husband and heir, and it is inevitable that she will be lonely to live alone in this mansion, so she likes to raise some playthings, especially petite and cute puppies. Some time ago, the foreign feudal tribute, sent a sleeve dog, the length is only the size of a palm, very gratifying, the emperor specially gave this puppy to the eldest princess, but unfortunately the puppy is small, but the temperament is very fierce, the eldest princess found a lot of animal trainers, but no one can train it well.

This matter is well known, although the eldest princess wondered, she also let people bring the puppy.

The palm-sized puppy was brought in in a square iron cage, and the puppy barked incessantly when he saw the figure. Although the eldest princess loves dogs, she can't help but frown.

Xiao Lingxiao stepped forward slowly and took the iron cage from the maid's hand. She looked inside with the iron cage, and just in time to meet the puppy's eyes. The puppy bared his teeth and glared at Xiao Lingxiao fiercely, Xiao Lingxiao lowered his face coldly, and said to the puppy in a voice that others couldn't hear, "If you are reincarnated as a dog, you should shut up and be obedient, and if you wear out their patience, you will live to the end!" ”

After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao whispered in her heart to make the divine wolf spread a coercion, and the puppy in the iron cage seemed to understand Xiao Lingxiao's words, and also felt the incomparably powerful momentum on her body, and suddenly shrank into the iron cage, trembling.

Xiao Lingxiao opened the iron cage, reached out and took out the puppy, and let it stand in the open space. Then Xiao Lingxiao squatted down and put the iron cage aside, stretched out a smile, stretched out her hand in front of the puppy, and whispered, "Paws." ”

The puppy hesitated, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Lingxiao, shook his body, slowly raised a small paw, and gently placed it on Xiao Lingxiao's hand.

Xiao Lingxiao patted the top of the puppy's head with satisfaction, and then let it sit down, stand up, turn over, roll, and the puppy obediently did it one by one, and there was no longer a fierce look.

When Xiao Lingxiao stood up, everyone present was surprised, and the eldest princess Mingci hurriedly left the main seat, came to Xiao Lingxiao, squatted down cautiously, and gave instructions to the puppy according to the way she had just been, and the puppies all obeyed the order.

She held the puppy in her arms, and she didn't know how to be good with it.

Looking up again, the eldest princess asked Xiao Lingxiao with a surprised smile, "How did you do it?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao replied indifferently, "It's just a small skill of carving insects, I hope the eldest princess will forgive it for being difficult to adapt to the foreign environment before, and treat it well in the future." ”

The eldest princess of Mingci nodded like pounding garlic, and all her vigilance against Xiao Lingxiao seemed to have disappeared, patronizing and playing with the puppy in her arms, and then the others showed any talents, and the eldest princess didn't even look at it anymore.

When the banquet was almost over, everyone left the table in twos and threes, and went to the courtyard to stroll and chat. Xiao Lingxiao also got up and walked out of the hall, and just after taking a few steps, she heard someone calling behind her, "Lingxiao!" ”

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and turned around, and what she saw was indeed the ghost of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince smiled happily, and when he came over, he said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Lingxiao, you are really amazing!" can make the imperial aunt so happy at once, and in the future of our marriage, her old man will definitely do her best to help persuade her father. ”

Xiao Lingxiao snorted with a cold face, "What is the Fourth Highness talking about?" The emperor issued a holy decree, saying that Ling Xiao was ominous, and Ling Xiao would definitely not marry into the royal family in this life. The Fourth Highness still died as soon as possible, so as not to let others think that Ling Xiao still had the intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. His Royal Highness has the love of the imperial concubine and the eldest princess, and the favor of the emperor, so he doesn't care about these gossips, but Ling Xiao is in a difficult situation all the time and can't stand this. ”

The fourth prince was stunned when he heard this, then he figured out something, stepped forward again, and grabbed Xiao Lingxiao's hand.

"Ling Xiao, no matter who bullies you in the future, you will come and tell me, I will marry you as my concubine, and I will not let anyone bully you! I'm willing to do anything for you! ”

His words were simply a great irony for Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao looked at him with a sincere look, almost didn't even think about it, withdrew his hand fiercely, raised his foot and was about to kick it.

But at this moment, a woman's sharp scream suddenly came from a distance.
