Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 42 The Moon
The brightly colored lights illuminated the resplendent and magnificent hall, the sound of silk and bamboo music lingered on the beams, and during the banquet, only Shen Xuhuai was drinking wine by himself.

Ling Qingyan naturally also saw the scene just now, and sighed: "Don't drink so much, I won't be responsible if you get drunk."

Shen Xuhuai glanced at him indifferently, his cold eyebrows and eyes became more blurred under the soft light.

He said: "I won't say who has a poor capacity for drinking."

"."

has been connoted.

Ling Qingyan didn't bother to care about him, and just approached him and asked, "Did you find anything unusual?"

"No." Shen Xuhuai was straightforward.

Ling Qingyan sat back feeling bored, looked at the dancing women in the hall, and asked in confusion, "Why does this person look familiar?"

Shen Xuhuai said: "It's Concubine Zhou Shu."

Performing talents at palace banquets is a common occurrence, Ling Qingyan doesn't find it strange, but such occasions are usually reserved for noble ladies from aristocratic families, and it is rare for concubines to perform.

Concubine Zhou Shu prepared for today's dance for a long time. She wore a long elegant dress, waved her jade hands lightly, her red sleeves were blowing in the wind, and her smile was as bright as spring, without any trace of meanness before.

Seeing this, everyone was amazed, no wonder Concubine Zhou Shu was the most favored of the Sixth Palace, even Fu Xiuyun, who was seated above, saw this scene, his eyes froze for a moment.

Concubine Zhou Shu felt even more proud, enjoying everyone's admiring gazes.

This dance is only for Fu Xiuyun.

Mingyue stood in the corner with an expressionless face, and the orange light reflected her delicate profile. If you look closely, it's not hard to find a hint of excitement flickering in her eyes.

Let's jump, let's jump.
After tonight, you have no chance.

Ling Youyao passed the bright and charming Concubine Zhou Shu and saw the bright moon in the corner. Although she only saw the bright moon once, she was very impressed with her.She was obviously just a court lady, but she was able to calmly persuade Concubine Zhou Shu to leave in front of the queen.

Is she really just an ordinary court lady?
Fu Mingjue noticed her gaze, held her hand under the table, and said, "What's so interesting about vulgar fans?"

Ling Youyao looked away, pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, have you found that person?"

"Not yet."

It's just two simple words, but Ling Youyao felt that the matter was not that simple, so she said again: "My lord, I think there is someone very strange."

"Who?" Fu Mingjue asked.

Ling Youyao subconsciously looked in the direction of Mingyue, but found that she was gone!
"My lord, she."

Fu Mingjue's eyes narrowed slightly, he pulled her to sit obediently, brought her a glass of wine, and said, "This is fruit wine, try it."

Ling Youyao met his dark eyes, and her ups and downs gradually calmed down. He didn't say anything, but he said everything. Maybe he already knew it?

Fu Mingjue brought the wine to her mouth, and his voice was extremely gentle: "This wine is not intoxicating, even if you are drunk, this king will take you back."

When the bystanders heard this, sour water gushed out one after another. Who said King Jing was cold-blooded and ruthless?Mingming is so gentle that she is about to drown!

Under his gentle and threatening gaze, Ling Youyao raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing this scene in the distance, Shen Xuhuai's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he almost crushed the glass in his hand, how dare he pour Yao'er with wine? !
Ling Qingyan persuaded silently: "He took fruit wine, it's okay, it's okay."

Shen Xuhuai turned his head and glanced at him coldly: "Are you Yao'er's big brother?"

"Of course!" Ling Qingyan said confidently, "Can't you see that Yao'er looks like me?"

Shen Xuhuai said quietly: "Since you and Yao'er look alike, why didn't you marry her?"

"Ahem." Ling Qingyan was almost choked to death by his words, and managed to recover, "Shen Chao, I think you are really drunk!"

Let alone whether he is willing to marry or not, Fu Mingjue is not as good as Long Yang.

Shen Xuhuai snorted lightly and did not speak again.

Ling Qingyan knew that Shen Xuhuai was not easy to mess with tonight, so he turned to chat with the adults at the next table.

When the wine was finished, the music stopped.

After dancing, Concubine Zhou Shu's cheeks were slightly red, her breath was a little flustered, and she bowed to Fu Xiuyun and the queen mother Yingying: "The concubine has made a fool of herself."

The Empress Dowager always disliked concubine Zhou Shu, who was so charming and seductive to the Lord, and she was not salty about it, but Fu Xiuyun praised her a few words, and even invited Concubine Zhou Shu to sit beside him.

Ling Youyao was a little surprised, Fu Xiuyun doted on Concubine Zhou Shu so much in front of everyone, where did the queen come from?
Looking at the queen again, she kept a dignified smile on her face as if she hadn't seen her.

Ling Youyao felt worthless for the queen, but she also understood that this was something she had to go through when she was in the second place.

Born in the royal family, the last thing he cares about is love.

If Fu Mingjue wants to take concubines in the future, Ling Youyao shook his head, how could Fu Mingjue take concubines?There is no such setting in the book.

What if?
"What are you thinking?" Fu Mingjue squeezed her hand.

Ling Youyao replied casually: "I was wondering if you would take a concubine."

"Oh." Fu Mingjue chuckled, and looked at her very seriously, "No."

Ling Youyao realized that she had said what was in her heart, and she was a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Fu Mingjue say, "Unless there is another you in this world."

What does another she mean?
Fu Mingjue didn't explain. He quietly enjoyed the boring singing and dancing in the hall. Among the thousands of lights, flowers and shadows intertwined. He saw the bright moon returning to its previous position.

It's good to be back.
There was a smile on his lips, wanton and unrestrained, but Su Lingxi who was opposite him was stunned.

Who is the prince smiling at?
Su Lingxi turned her head in doubt, and there was no one else behind her except the palace man standing with her head bowed. Could this smile be aimed at her?

Even though this idea is somewhat unrealistic, Su Lingxi is still willing to believe that Fu Mingjue is really smiling at her.

After all, besides her, who else deserves Fu Mingjue's attention sitting here?
The scene of Su Lingxi secretly delighted fell into Su Yu'e's eyes.

What happened in the afternoon made Su Yu'e unable to cheer up all night. The slap marks on her face had disappeared a lot, but that slap severely shattered her tiny self-esteem.

Seeing Su Lingxi so happy now, she suddenly felt an urge to destroy everything.

But the thought was fleeting.

Su Yu'e followed Su Lingxi's line of sight, she didn't recognize the man with extraordinary appearance, but she knew Ling Youyao next to him.

It's Princess Jing, and the one next to her is King Jing.

Su Yu'e secretly glanced at Su Lingxi, and suddenly understood something.

Su Lingxi noticed her gaze, the joy in her eyes faded instantly, and said with a smile, "Fifth Sister, why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing." Su Yu'e whispered, then lowered her head.

Su Lingxi looked down on her submissive appearance the most. A concubine born to a concubine is as humble as dust.
