When Xiao Lingxiao saw the five princes looking at him, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes flashed with a cold light, this person was hot on the outside and cold on the inside, which made people incomprehensible, and it was obviously difficult to deal with.

At this time, I heard Li Jingxuan ask with some annoyance, "Fifth brother said to look for a good match, then you should go to the back to step on the snow pavilion, right?" It's so crowded. ”

The fifth prince smiled when he heard this, "Isn't that where I came back?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao Lingxiao again, and said, "Miss Xiao, your third cousin who is a talented person doesn't have a marriage contract yet, right?" I see his momentum, after today, the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be kicked out. Hahaha......"

Xiao Lingxiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Feng Ming?" ”

The fifth prince looked at Xiao Lingxiao's reaction, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

As soon as he said this, the fourth prince also hurried over, and the fifth prince seemed to expect him to follow, and said with a smile, "Why don't we go to the Snow Pavilion to have a look, it's lively over there." ”

Xiao Lingxiao cared very much about what he said just now, so he didn't object, and took Bao Rong'er to follow him and Lu Zhongyang towards the Snow Pavilion, after the four princes saw him coming, Xiao Lingxiao didn't even say a word to him, he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly chased after him, and Li Jingxuan followed Xiao Lingxiao closely, as if he was much closer than before.

Everyone passed through several corridors, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the Snow Pavilion.

This snow pavilion is built in a large garden, surrounded by a lot of rockery and stubborn stones to build a variety of small scenes, but also planted with strange flowers and plants, some even in this early snow still reveal the emerald green color. If you look closely at this garden, you can also see a lot of interesting scenes, but the people in this garden can be said to have ulterior motives, and no one cares about the scenery here at all.

Most of the men and women of each family gathered in the snow pavilion, and from a distance, you could see that the pavilion was hung with a heavy curtain, which blocked the flying snow, but did not block the view of the people inside. Xiao Lingxiao and the three princes appeared together, causing a commotion in the Snow Pavilion.

Xiao Lingxiao glanced at it and immediately saw Xiao Fengming who was in the pavilion. He was surrounded by several young women, and sure enough, he looked like he was "in the limelight". Several young women still had smiles on their faces that did not disappear, and Xiao Fengming walked over quickly towards Xiao Lingxiao as if he had done something wrong.

His steps were fast, and when he arrived in front of Xiao Lingxiao, he immediately asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao gave him a fierce look and said coldly, "Can't I come?" ”

Xiao Fengming's expression was stunned when he heard this, Xiao Lingxiao snorted, and secretly thought in his heart, this guy pretends to be an innocent teenager on weekdays, and when he encounters a group of beauties in his arms, isn't he secretly happy to linger in his heart!

But thinking like this, she completely forgot that she was clearly the one who sent Xiao Fengming away.

Xiao Fengming saw Xiao Lingxiao treating him like this, his heart was wronged, and he was a little throbbing, if it weren't for the three other eyes around him, he would definitely go over and hug her tightly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fengming couldn't help but look gloomy, and glanced at the three eyesore guys who were following Xiao Lingxiao. In the end, his eyes fell on Lu Zhongyang, who was the only innocent, and soon found that the fifth prince was pulling his arm without hesitation, Xiao Fengming couldn't help frowning slightly.

Since Xiao Lingxiao has already arrived here, she naturally can't leave immediately after seeing Xiao Fengming. The four princes walked at the forefront and led them to the snow pavilion.

Although the weather outside is not cold, there are gusts of cold wind, but it is very warm in this snow pavilion. Someone had already prepared a lot of charcoal braziers here, and thick wolfskin blankets were spread on the ground, and even the jade carved round table and several stone benches inside were wrapped with thick velvet cushions.

Seeing several princes coming in, everyone in the pavilion got up to greet them. The fourth prince affectionately pulled Xiao Lingxiao to a woman and introduced, "Lingxiao, you probably haven't seen my sister yet, this is Princess Haiyan." ”

Princess Haiyan and the fifth prince were born to the same mother, and they are often in the palace on weekdays, and they actually don't have much affection with the four princes.

Xiao Lingxiao remained silent, and glanced at Princess Haiyan, it is said that this princess has just turned thirteen years old this year, with a baby face, as if she has not taken off her childishness, she is wearing a cherry red dress, and many flowing flowers and stones are woven into the bun on her head, which shines when she moves slightly, which makes this princess look much more outstanding. However, Xiao Lingxiao could see that when this princess looked at her, her eyes were almost as cold as her brother Fifth Prince, presumably the two brothers and sisters had heard someone say something about themselves.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that this is Princess Haiyan, it is better to be famous than to meet, the princess is really beautiful and has a refined temperament." ”

Princess Haiyan looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly, and after hearing her say this, she couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "It turns out that you are the Xiao Lingxiao who came back from the dead, it's really as people say, you don't know the rules at all, no one has ever told you, do you have to kneel down to give salutes when you see the princess?" ”

As soon as everyone heard Princess Haiyan's words, they all knew that she had picked Xiao Lingxiao's gift. Without waiting for Xiao Lingxiao to speak, the four princes next to him immediately sank their faces and said to Princess Haiyan, "Today, stepping on the first snow, all the young people from various families are here, aren't these red tapes avoidable?" Why should the royal sister mind this. ”

At this time, Li Jingxuan also stepped forward and said with a smile, "That's it, imperial sister, if we insist on acting according to the rules of the palace, won't it spoil the relaxed atmosphere of stepping on the first snow?" ”

Unexpectedly, she just picked Xiao Lingxiao's fault a little, and was blocked back by the two princes and brothers around her, Princess Haiyan was annoyed and turned her eyes for help to her brother Li Jingyan. Who knew that Li Jingyan didn't seem to listen to them at all, but lowered his head and almost put his face to the ear of the musician next to him, not knowing what he was saying.

Princess Haiyan couldn't help but curse in her heart, thinking that her biological royal brother could become her backer, but this Li Jingyan was not only not usually in the imperial city, but even after coming back, she always saw the head and the end of the dragon, and she had no intention of caring for her sister at all. The affection between the two brothers and sisters is really not deep, and Princess Haiyan now knows that she can't count on him at all.

Princess Hai Yan was secretly holding back, but Xiao Lingxiao on the opposite side thought of something between the lightning and flint, and suddenly raised her voice and turned her head to Bao Rong'er behind her and said, "Bao Rong'er, it's rare to see Princess Hai Yan, why don't you hurry up and take out the things that my mother asked me to bring." ”

When Bao Rong'er heard this, she immediately took out a brocade box from her arms and handed it to Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao turned to present the brocade box to Princess Haiyan, and said in a voice that everyone around her could hear, "My mother asked me to bring something for Princess Haiyan, it is said that my father specially asked people to find it, and I asked Princess Haiyan to accept it with a smile." ”

When Princess Haiyan heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

It stands to reason that it is common for young men and women to exchange gifts during the first snowfall. Princess Haiyan was favored in the palace, so she received more gifts. But like Xiao Lingxiao, who took things out like this regardless of the occasion, it was the first time for Princess Haiyan to see it.

Everyone looked at each other, and even the three princes and Xiao Fengming felt inexplicable.

After a moment of silence, Princess Hai Yan finally took the brocade box, she didn't think about it anymore, and opened the brocade box directly in front of everyone.

In the distance, Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu both had their hearts raised in their throats at this moment, and the two of them quickly searched for a while in the crowd, and then quickly tried to divide the crowd and squeeze to Xiao Lingxiao's side.

As soon as the brocade box was opened, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

In the luxurious brocade box, there is only one ordinary stone!

"Xiao Lingxiao, what do you mean by this!"

Princess Haiyan shook her hand and threw the brocade box and the stone inside to the ground, and said angrily, "Give me a broken stone, this is belittling my Princess Haiyan, or belittleing the royal family!" Your Xiao family is too bold! ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked down, then squatted down, gently stroked the wolf skin blanket spread on the ground, and let out a long sigh thoughtfully. After a while, she picked up the undamaged stone and the brocade box from the blanket and put it back on, and then carefully placed it on the jade carving round table, and said with a smile indifferently, "This thing was brought by my mother, and I just gave it as I said." As for the meaning of this, Her Royal Highness may wish to find an opportunity to ask my mother. ”

Princess Haiyan's little face turned pale when she heard this, and she was about to continue to get angry, but she heard someone around her laugh loudly, and said, "Imperial sister, you really don't know the goods, such a good thing, you have to fall on the blanket, otherwise you will be ruined." ”

The fifth prince didn't know when he came to the table, he said, took the stone out of the brocade box and looked at it carefully, smiled and raised his hand, and asked everyone around him, "You are all knowledgeable, don't you know what this is?" It's a rough stone! ”

The so-called rough stone, which can generally be seen when gambling on jade, is the kind of stone that looks like an ordinary stone on the outside, but after cutting it out, it is a stone such as jade and jade. Connoisseurs can guess what it looks like at a glance at the rough stone, and people use this "guessing" method to buy and sell the rough stone, which is called gambling stone. But the rough stone is basically only valuable in the hands of connoisseurs, and it is really redundant for the sons and ladies of these rich and noble families in front of them. They focus more on the finished product than on such broken stones.

I saw the fifth prince come to Xiao Lingxiao with this stone, and asked with a smile, "Miss Xiao, I'm right, right?" If I hadn't looked away, it should have been a gold silk jade that was hard to find, and the Prime Minister was able to find such a rough stone, I'm afraid it took a lot of thought, right? ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the five princes, although he was full of smiles, but there was no smile in those eyes. He was testing Xiao Lingxiao with his eyes, and even intimidating Xiao Lingxiao with his gaze, in him, Xiao Lingxiao could clearly feel an aura that only beasts had.

However, Xiao Lingxiao didn't flinch at all, she just smiled indifferently, looked at Li Jingyan, spoke, and said softly, "Your Fifth Highness is well-informed, you said that this is the rough stone of golden silk jade, then there must be nothing wrong." Ling Xiao just listened to her mother's orders to deliver this thing, and she really didn't know the inside story. After saying this, the corners of Xiao Lingxiao's mouth provoked a slight arc, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a very light voice and a slightly provocative tone, "If Your Highness is not at ease, why don't you cut this stone and take a look?" ”

When the fifth prince heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, the smile on his face stiffened, and a cold murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body.
