Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 208 New Year's Eve
The news of Liu Hongxin's beating quickly reached Su Lingxi's ears.

After hearing about Liu Hongxin's tragic situation and the farce that happened in Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, she smiled sarcastically: "Only Mrs. Wu treats Liu Hongxin as a treasure, and if she doesn't teach her a lesson, she really treats me as the Duke of Yuguo." Anyone can enter the gate of the mansion."

Xiao Tang, who was waiting on the side, lowered her head and said softly: "Fortunately, Madam is on your side, otherwise the Second Madam will really get her way."

Mentioning the Second Madam, Su Lingxi's eyes were sullen, and she said, "Second Aunt really lived comfortably for a long time, and she forgot who is in charge of this family."

Just now when Ji's family was pushed away, another Liu Hongxin appeared, and what's even more ridiculous was that the second aunt secretly gave her birth date to Mrs. Wu?

"Girl, don't be angry," Xiaotang comforted, "My lord already knows that the second lady has made her own decisions, and will definitely seek justice for you."

Su Lingxi snorted coldly: "In my father's eyes, my marriage is just a bargaining chip to consolidate his status. If it wasn't for the uncle Zhongyi's residence who came this time, I'm afraid my father has already agreed."

"Girl, don't say that, the adults are still facing you"

Su Lingxi is very aware of her position in the Duke Yu's mansion. Her birth mother died young, and her father married a second wife. If she hadn't had the support of the Queen Mother these years, she would have been unable to survive in this family.Recently, the Empress Dowager has been estranged from her a lot because of her marriage, and she was already in a bad mood, but now that Liu Hongxin has encountered such a bad thing, she has nowhere to vent her anger.

"I don't care if my father is on my side or not, as long as my aunt is on my side."

Xiaotang echoed: "Don't worry, girl, the Empress Dowager always loves you the most, and naturally she is towards you."

"I hope." Su Lingxi pinned the lock of hair hanging on the side of her face behind her ears. Now she can still rely on the Queen Mother, but what about the future?
— Nobody can tell.

Seeing this, Xiaotang hesitated and said, "Miss, it will be New Year's Eve soon, why don't you take this opportunity to spend more time with the Empress Dowager?"

Su Lingxi was startled, because of Liu Hongxin, she forgot that the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve.Although she temporarily softened the empress dowager's heart with a poisonous oath, she never gave up her desire to marry Fu Mingjue.This plan can only be delayed for a while, after the year, everything will be hard to say.

As long as her marriage is uncertain, the queen mother will not really treat her as before.

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly asked: "Is there any news that the prince is going back to Beijing recently?"

Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I didn't hear that, I only know that His Majesty sent the prince to Liangzhou, and there is no news about when he will return to Beijing."

Su Lingxi heard the words, but did not speak.

It was snowing in Liangzhou at this time, and the roads had been blocked long ago. Now there is only one day before New Year's Eve, and it is unlikely that Fu Mingjue would return to Beijing on New Year's Eve.

Since Fu Mingjue was unable to return to Beijing on New Year's Eve, Ling Youyao was the only one left
Su Lingxi stared at the flickering candle in a daze, the faint flame seemed to fall into her heart, and then ignited, enveloping her whole heart, a wonderful idea suddenly appeared in her mind——

Why not get rid of Ling Youyao while Fu Mingjue is not in the capital?

Last time, Ling Youyao escaped because of Pei Ce's timely report to Fu Mingjue, but this time, Fu Mingjue is far away in Liangzhou, so what if Ling Youyao is surrounded by rivers?For the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, only members of the royal family are allowed to enter the palace.

Su Lingxi smiled suddenly, her heart seemed to be engulfed in flames, and gradually became hot.

This year's New Year's Eve is destined to be unforgettable
There was no sound of wind and snow at night, and the fine snow fell all night, but on New Year's Eve, the dark clouds piled up above the head dispersed, and a faint glow could be seen in the sky.

At the end of the sixth year of Yong'an, New Year's Eve.

Fu Mingjue hadn't returned to Beijing yet, and Jiang Liu couldn't give a credible letter, so Ling Youyao simply didn't ask, and let Yin Zhu order herself.

Yinzhu took the Zhai crown and put it on for her, and said: "Princess, there is a sacrifice today, the prince is not here, so you can go alone, have you memorized all the etiquette?"

Ling Youyao subconsciously frowned, a little uncertain: "I should remember."

Yinzhu knew that she would be like this a long time ago, so she took out a booklet from the box next to it, and said: "Fortunately, Young Master has prepared it, you can read it later on the way to the palace, lest you forget it in time."

"My brother still understands me." Ling Youyao accepted it with peace of mind.

As soon as this place was packed, a maid came to report that the eldest princess had arrived at the door.

Without daring to delay, Ling Youyao took the silver vermilion green treasure and went out.

The carriage in the Princess's Mansion was still exquisite and luxurious as always. Man Dong stood in front of the carriage, smiled and blessed Ling Youyao: "My servant has seen the princess, please."

Ling Youyao nodded as a signal, stepped into the carriage, smiled at Fu Yunchuo and said, "My concubine sees Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, I wish you good health on New Year's Eve."

Fu Yunchuo was wearing a golden palace dress today, his black hair was tied up high, and the corners of his eyes were raised to suppress the sparkling eyes, his whole person was bright and flamboyant.Hearing Ling Youyao's words, she couldn't help but blame: "It's not yet the first day of the junior high school, so you want to ask for a red envelope for the New Year?"

"Now I just want to say hello to you. When the time comes, I will definitely give you a big gift and wish you a New Year." Ling Youyao smiled sweetly.

"You girl, you're used to talking poorly!"

During this period of time, Ling Youyao often accompanied the eldest princess, and the relationship between the two was closer than before.

Getting up in the morning and entering the palace, first paid homage to the Empress Dowager, and then proceeded to the cumbersome sacrifices. Fortunately, Ling Qingyan was prepared in advance, and Fu Yunchuo was watching. After this set of etiquette procedures, Ling Youyao did not make any mistakes.

After everything was over, Fu Yunchuo took Ling Youyao to Changle Palace where he used to live.

"I moved out of the palace at the age of 15, and I haven't come back to live in it for 13 years. Everything here has not changed, but I still feel more comfortable living in the princess mansion." As he spoke, Fu Yunchuo picked up a plate of dim sum and handed it to Ling Youyao, " The family banquet in the evening will not be without those fake courtesies and pies, you should eat something to fill your stomach first, lest those ladies and noble ladies will toast you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Speaking of the family banquet, Ling Youyao remembered that she didn't seem to see Su Lingxi today.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Fu Yunchuo thought she was thinking about Fu Mingjue, so he said: "Although Xiao Qi has not come back, but with Ben Gong here, I will definitely not let you suffer."

Ling Youyao came back to her senses and didn't explain, she just obediently complied.

After receiving Fu Mingjue's letter, there was no news of him.I only heard from Jiang Liu that there was heavy snowfall in Liangzhou, and the mountain roads were closed, people outside could not get in, and people inside could not get out.Fortunately, before the winter came, King Jing'an asked people to prepare food and grass for the winter in advance, so it would be no problem to survive this winter.

But Ling Youyao is always restless. I don't know if it's because I haven't heard from Fu Mingjue for a long time, or because it's New Year's Eve.
　Let’s celebrate the new year ahead of time~ By the way, here’s a spoiler, after the new year, we’re going to start abusing him hehe
