Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 150 Goodbye
Lingling was led into Fengyi Palace by the maid, but she didn't expect to see Ling Youyao here.

Seeing you again after a month, the other party is still radiant, even more radiant than before.

Ling Youyao wore a lavender flowered jacket and skirt today, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes shone brightly, her lips were spotless and vermilion, she was charming and glamorous, even more delicate than the peach blossoms in April.

In such a contrast, Lingling at this moment is like a withered old tree in late autumn.

She had come to see the empress, so she deliberately wore plain clothes, without any makeup, and she had been drinking medicine these days, so there was a dull air of death in her gray complexion.

She thought that the queen would feel sorry for her when she saw her like this, but now she didn't have the courage to complain before she opened her mouth.

Lingling didn't care how the queen looked at her, but she cared about Ling Youyao's eyes. She had vowed to be higher than Ling Youyao, but now she saw her again like this.

The inferiority complex engraved in her bones made her extremely embarrassed, and she didn't even dare to look into Ling Youyao's eyes.

Hastily greeted the empress: "The concubine has seen the empress."

Pausing for a while, he blessed Ling Youyao again: "The concubine has seen Princess Jing."

Ling Youyao was a little surprised by this. After not seeing her for so long, Ling Ling seemed to have learned to be good.

The empress acted indifferently, and said: "Let's get down, what are you doing here today?"

Ling Ling had already thought about the reason, but now that Ling Youyao was beside her, she couldn't say anything.

Ling Youyao looked at her quietly. The last time she saw Ling Ling was when she was hunting in Futai Mountain, but she hadn't seen her for a month, but Ling Ling seemed to be a different person——

Her cheeks were sunken, her protruding cheekbones were raised higher, her lips were pale, and her eyes were dull, as if she had experienced the hardships of life.

Just by looking at it, one can tell what kind of life Lingling has spent in the palace for a month.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Ling Youyao asked, "What kind of difficulties did your concubine encounter?"

Hearing this address, Lingling's expression froze slightly, she bit her lower lip, and said, "Princess, I'm too worried. I'm fine in the palace. I suddenly asked to see the empress today, just because I didn't come to Fengyi Palace for a while. , just apologizing to the empress."

This reason is too lame, and you don't need to expose it to know it's fake.

When she came in just now, she clearly wanted to see something, but after seeing Ling Youyao, she suddenly changed her tune.

Everyone has a stubborn self-esteem in the bottom of their hearts, especially when they see someone they care about, this indifferent self-esteem will suddenly magnify, no matter how embarrassed they are, they have to pretend to be strong.

At this time, Ling Ling has this kind of mentality.

She didn't want to be looked down upon by Ling Youyao, and she didn't want to be inferior to others.

But the price for this is to continue to suffer in the dark.

Ling Youyao understood what she was thinking, and she didn't want to meddle in her own business. She came to the palace today to visit the queen, and it was a surprise to see Ling Ling.

"I am relieved to hear that my cousin is fine in the palace."

Hearing this, Ling Ling's hands hidden under her sleeves couldn't help but tighten a little bit, such calm and indifferent words turned into sarcasm in her ears.

Everyone can laugh at her, except Ling Youyao!

Lingling smiled coldly, looked at Ling Youyao fixedly, and said, "Youyao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

Ling Youyao pretended not to see the hatred in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Please let your concubine bear in mind that I am fine."

She deliberately distanced herself, which made Ling Ling feel a little embarrassed.

The queen glanced at her lightly, and said: "You were chanting scriptures and praying with the queen mother a few days ago, so it's understandable that you didn't come to pay your respects. I don't blame you."

Lingling lowered her head, "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

"Okay, since you have nothing to do, you can go back first." She directly issued the order to evict the guest, and Ling Ling couldn't bear to stay here any longer.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, Lingling remembered her original intention of coming to see the Queen.But now people have already left Fengyi Palace, how can they turn back?What's more, there is Ling Youyao inside.

Finally gave up.

After Lingling left, the queen said to Ling Youyao: "After she entered the palace, she spent most of her time in Yanfu Palace, and rarely came to hang out in front of my palace. She came here suddenly today, so she must have asked me for something."

Ling Youyao was inexplicably guilty when she met the queen's candid gaze.Why did Lingling enter the palace, she knew clearly in her heart.

"Your Majesty, Lingling will actually enter the palace." She looked at the queen and hesitated to speak.

The queen understood what she was worried about, and said with a smile: "I have heard about those things before, and this matter is simply because your Majesty is wrong, you and Xiao Qi are only married, and putting people around Xiao Qi at this time, isn't it just an embarrassment for you? "

"New people come in to the harem every year. One more is not too many, and one less is quite a lot. Why should I care about her?"

Ever since she was in the East Palace, she has seen everything clearly. She is in the back seat, and in this life, she is doomed not to be able to realize the dream of being a couple for a lifetime.

Sometimes when you look away, your heart is at ease.

Ling Youyao sighed softly, wanted to say something, but couldn't.

"Don't think about it," the queen took the initiative to change the subject, "Although Lingling had some unpleasant troubles with Jin Meiren before, the queen mother often invites her to Yanfu Palace to accompany her, which is considered safe, and I have saved a lot of worry. .”

Speaking of this, Ling Youyao suddenly remembered the rumors about Duke Yu's Mansion.

The queen mother is like this, does she already know Lingling's life experience?

"Your Majesty, is Ling Ling very much liked by the Queen Mother?"

The queen shook her head, leaned close to her and said in a low voice: "I have heard the palace people discuss that every time the queen mother calls her over, she is asked to kneel down, usually for a whole day."

Many people in the palace know about Lingling going to Yanfu Palace to listen to the training and kneeling every day.

It was precisely because of this that those palace talents dared to bully Ling Ling so blatantly.

Ling Youyao couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard this, "Why did the queen mother punish her?"

"I don't know," the queen thought to herself, "but I suspect that it has something to do with Ling Ling's life experience."

"You also know?" Ling Youyao asked in surprise.

The queen said seriously: "Although Your Majesty deliberately concealed it, there are still many rumors that have reached my ears."

Not to mention that Lingling is the fate of the Phoenix, just the rumors about the descendants of the Yan family that have been circulated recently are enough for her to pay attention.

Many people knew about Duke Yu's love and hatred with Miss Yan, but Yan Hongjin was dead, and now everyone was more concerned about the child who survived.

Besides, that child is very likely to be Lingling, how can people not care about this?

The queen looked at Ling Youyao seriously, and said: "From what I see, this matter is not groundless. After all, you and Lingling belong to the same clan. If the rumors are true, I just hope that you will not be involved."

The truth of this, Ling Youyao understands, "Thank you for your concern, Madam, I will pay attention."
