Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Lover Is Hard to Find

Xiao Ling exposed her injured wrist, "This is the evidence that the noble concubine connived at her subordinates to hurt her son."

Zhang Guifei hurriedly said, "You don't have to reverse black and white! The queen mother, the emperor, the matter is not what she said, if the concubine has a witness, everyone on the spot can testify."

Zhang Guifei hurriedly turned around and went to the accompanying people, but Xiao Ling sighed.

"Guifei Niangniang will pass people on, anyway, most of them were your people at that time, naturally you have the final say, poor Yun Guard can't even get out of bed now, and can't testify for me, so Mo'er and I are naturally the ones who can't talk about Guifei Niangniang."

Mo'er lowered her head fiercely, also looking aggrieved.

Zhang Guifei wanted to quibble, but was stopped by the queen mother: "You dare to bully the princess in public, and you don't take the mourning family and the emperor in your eyes at all, Zhang, you are so bold!"

Seeing that the queen mother was angry, Zhang Guifei cried so much that she looked at Emperor Zhou Yuan, who had never made a sound.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubine."

Emperor Zhou Yuan was about to speak, but he heard Xiao Ling cough extremely weakly, and he almost couldn't even breathe.

"Yun An is protecting Xiao Ling at my behest, how can you torture him?"

As soon as Emperor Zhou Yuan's words came out, Zhang Guifei cried silently.

"Besides, Xiao Ling has always been sensible, and her body is delicate, how can you bully her?"

"Ahem...... Ahem...... cough ......" Xiao Ling covered his face with his hand, coughed in a low voice, and secretly glanced back at Zhang Guifei.

"Remember that you are a first-time offender and be grounded for three months, and in addition, these two minions will each play thirty boards."

The Empress Dowager thought that Concubine Zhang Guifei was too noisy, so she ordered someone to drive her out, and the entire Cining Palace was instantly clean.

Xiao Ling did not stay when he was sick, and the Queen Mother ordered Qianlai to return to Qianling Palace.

When Xiao Ling's body is well-healed, it is close to the New Year.

"Nine Winds, be careful when you come down."

Ye Sili stood outside the eaves and looked up at Mu Jiufeng who had climbed the ladder, carefully directing his every move.

"Yes, yes, more left, left to left, oops, crooked, right......

Under her "indiscriminate" command, Mu Jiufeng finally hung up the lantern, and he wanted to jump down easily, but saw Ye Sili below carefully holding the ladder for him.

"Don't worry, I'm steady."

Mu Jiufeng honestly walked down the ladder, "I'm also a martial arts practitioner, you can't trust me like this."

"Forget it." After Ye Sili saw him landing smoothly, he turned around and sat on the mat and continued to make lanterns, "I've never seen a person who practices martial arts as lazy as you."

Mu Jiufeng's face was full of unconvinced, and he looked at Gu Liwu, who was sitting on the ground making lanterns, and gradually couldn't hold back his smile, and complained, "Where am I lazy? It's just that you didn't pay attention."

The second half of the sentence became more and more quiet, and Ye Sili looked serious and put pen to paper, not paying attention to what he said.

"These lanterns should be enough, right?" Gu Liwu looked up at the finished products around him and said.

Ye Sili looked up, "Let's make a few more, and send some to Xiao Ling when the time comes, this year's Spring Festival will definitely be lively."

Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Yugong Mansion is brightly lit.

"Happy New Year, grandfather." Ye Sili toasted Ye Zhongyao with a glass of wine.

"Happy New Year, grandfather." Gu Liwu also poured a glass of wine.

Ye Zhongyao's gaze repeatedly fell on the two of them, and said with a smile, "Are you two trying to get me drunk together?"

Ye Sili smiled and shook his head, "How can my grandfather's alcohol be comparable to me? But maybe you can try it."

"Eh, you ......" Ye Zhongyao wrapped the clothes on his body tightly, and the little padded jacket in the big winter actually leaked, "No wonder Mu Jiufeng and the fifth princess don't accompany you this year, it's because you are so partial to worry, who can stand it?"

Hearing this, Ye Sili glanced at Gu Liwu next to him, and said shyly, "Grandfather, don't make fun of me, nine

Feng Fen was obviously caught by his uncle and aunt, and Xiao Ling and Ah Yu also attended the family banquet at the emperor's behest, so how could it be mine."

Ye Zhongyao looked at his granddaughter like this, his eyes were also full of relief, and he added a glass of wine to himself, "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to find a lover, and you told me about you before you left the worry, and your grandfather asked you again, but seriously?"

It's hard to find a lover......

Ye Sili turned his head to look at Gu Liwu, and when his eyes met, Ye Sili smiled lightly, "It is precisely because it is difficult to find a lover, so I actually found him and identified him."

Gu Liwu's voice was warm, "Grandfather, I also really love Ah Li."

A glass of warm wine was in his throat, his chest and abdomen were hot, and Ye Zhongyao only asked, "No matter what happens in the future, can you really protect her?"

Ye Sili is the only bloodline in the Ye Mansion, Ye Zhongyao's baby is tight, seeing that she is approaching her age, many princes and grandsons of the prince and grandson want to marry and are sent away by Ye Zhongyao.

Ye Zhongyao and his friends complained about the original words: "How can those wine bags and rice bags be worthy of my Xiaoli?"

Because Gu Liwu became famous at a young age, and a large number of boudoir women from famous families intended to form this marriage, they were also sent away by Ye Zhongyao.

The original words he complained about with his friends were: "How can those vulgar fans be worthy of my family's worries?"

Therefore, he thought about all the beautiful talents in Kyoto, and he really couldn't find someone who was worthy of his two children.

Just when he was depressed, Gu Liwei proposed marriage to him, which surprised him.

That's pretty good.

Xiao Li has always been smart and clever, not as delicate as an ordinary woman who has never seen the world in the deep boudoir, although she does not know martial arts, her courage and talent have not embarrassed the Ye family at all.

Liwu has been in the army with him since he was a child, and his martial arts and troop arrangement are even better than the blue, and he has seen the feelings between Liwu and Xiaoli over the years.

There are worries, and others can't bully Xiaoli.

In the future, he will always be relieved to hand over the Ye family army to the two of them.

Gu Liwu looked serious, and promised Ye Zhongyao, "Ah Li and grandfather, I will definitely protect it."

In the eighteenth year of Xining, on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in the Yugong Mansion, he made such a promise.

However, the same lantern-decorated palace banquet is not as harmonious as this.

"Judging from the concubines, the fifth princess has already reached the age of marriage, and now it is a good marriage for the son of the Wu family to ask for marriage."

Such harsh words were naturally said by Zhang Guifei, who was grounded two months ago.

Mo'er knelt beside Xiao Ling and poured tea, and complained in a low voice: "The emperor originally saw that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and specially allowed her to attend the banquet, how could she make it difficult for the princess, and she couldn't wait to push you into the fire pit, who didn't know that the Wu family had a lack of mind since childhood, and some time ago the Japanese side learned to eat with chopsticks by themselves, and Zhang Guifei actually wanted to give the princess to this kind of person."

Xiao Ling glanced at Zhang Guifei lightly, and whispered, "Shhhh

"Yes."

Xiao Yu, who was sitting opposite her, also looked unhappy, and wanted to say a few words for his sister, but when he saw Xiao Ling shaking his head at him, he had no choice but to give up.

Since the last incident, Xiao Ling has become more and more cautious and doesn't want to do much, so she let Zhang Guifei say this, she doesn't bother to care, anyway, whether she marries or not, who she marries, she can't be the master, of course, she can't allow Zhang Guifei to be the master.

Sure enough, as soon as Concubine Zhang Guifei's words came out, the queen mother's face changed, "This is a family banquet, you shouldn't have attended the concubine's room, thanks to the emperor's kindness, you are allowed to come to see the world, but you can't help but talk nonsense."

"The princess's marriage is related to the government and society, how can you allow a concubine to talk too much?"

"According to the mourning family, if you really think that the Wu family is good, why don't you make a decree for you, and marry your daughter when she grows up in a few years?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei's face changed in panic, "The concubine lost her words for a while, the queen mother should not be angry."

The family banquet in the palace has never been peaceful, Xiao Ling is too lazy to argue with them, and he treats them all to say the same, Xiao Ling

left first on the grounds that he was ill, and deliberately called Xiao Yu away.

Xiao Yu accompanied Xiao Ling back to Qianling Palace, and neither of them used chopsticks during the banquet, so they ordered Mo'er to make some food and bring it.

Although Xiao Ling has always been favored, there are not many maids in the Qianling Palace, there were quite a lot of them originally, most of them were eyeliners placed in various palaces, and then Xiao Yu used some means to send them away when he had a little real power, and now there are naturally some informants in the palace who have been specially left, but there are not many people available in the Qianling Palace.

The harem concubines often turn the war to the weak and bullying Qianling Palace, which has no backing, and over the years, Xiao Ling has almost appreciated the harem methods, poisoning, framing, falling into the lake, and losing footing...... Fortunately, she and the fourth brother had a big life.

Therefore, most of the time, Xiao Ling habitually let Mo'er or Yun'an prepare it, at least with confidence.

"I haven't eaten at the Thousand Spirits Palace for a few days, but I didn't expect Mo'er's craftsmanship to grow rapidly." Xiao Yu savored Mo'er's freshly prepared meal, and smiled at Mo'er with her eyebrows fluttering.

Mo'er's face was flushed, and she silently lowered her head before she could speak.

Xiao Ling glared at Xiao Yu, "You don't just know how to tease Mo'er all day long, how old a person is, don't hurry up and marry a wife and open another mansion, and stay in the palace all day long."

Although Xiao Ling is a younger sister, she always educates Xiao Yu with the tone of an old mother, and even she herself thinks that Xiao Yu should be a younger brother.

"Are you embarrassed to say me?" Xiao Yu pointed at himself and Xiao Ling with his finger, "Half a catty and eight taels, okay?"

Xiao Ling glanced at him with disgust, but when he saw the chopsticks he had just held in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at her, but his expression was not as joking as Fang Cai.

"But seriously, now that you're old enough to talk about marriage, how do you plan to get married?"

In the past few months, there have been many rumors in the court, but if the emperor does not issue an order for a day, rumors are always rumors.

Yun An on the side looked at Xiao Ling and sighed very lightly, "Fourth brother, you and I are both royal children, are you really the master of the marriage?"
