Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 5
After greeting the queen mother, Fu Mingjue went to see the emperor, and Ling Youyao was left by the queen mother to speak.

After Fu Mingjue left, the queen mother raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and asked, "I heard that Princess Duanyang went to the palace to make trouble yesterday?"

Ling Youyao replied respectfully: "After returning to mother, yes."

"The Ai family also heard that she was willing to ask herself to be a concubine in her wedding dress?" The queen mother took a sip of tea lightly, unable to hear any emotion.

Ling Youyao couldn't figure out what the queen mother meant for a while, so she said: "I was not present yesterday, but I just heard someone mention it. As for the specific situation, I don't know."

"You were wronged by Princess Duanyang's actions yesterday."

The queen mother changed her voice and continued: "Although Zilin didn't let her in, it is inevitable that such things will happen in the future. As a wife, you should accept these grievances as you deserve."

"Do you understand?" The queen mother gave her a deep look.

The queen mother had been vaccinated in advance, because Su Lingxi not only entered the palace, but also drove the original owner out.

But she, who has mastered the direction of the plot in advance, will never let this happen.

Ling Youyao got up, and obediently said: "I would like to obey my mother's teaching."

Seeing this, the queen mother nodded with satisfaction: "You haven't met the queen yet, have you?"

As she said that, she looked at Su Lingxi and said, "Let Xi'er take you to the Queen's place, since Ai's family is getting tired, so I won't keep you."

"Yes."

Su Lingxi and Ling Youyao saluted together.

Before leaving, the Queen Mother rewarded Ling Youyao with a pair of palm-sized golden pomegranates, which couldn't be more obvious.

Ling Youyao accepted the gift without saying anything.

She and Fu Mingjue haven't consummated their marriage yet, so the blessing of Pomegranate's many children may not come to her.

After leaving the Yanfu Palace, Su Lingxi took the initiative to talk to Ling Youyao: "Speaking of which, this is the second time for the minister to see the princess today."

Ling Youyao looked at her when she heard the words.

Su Lingxi continued: "Last year at the birthday banquet of Prince Yong Dowager, the courtiers once saw the princess. At that time, the princess was not yet old enough to follow the younger sister of the Shen family."

"At that time, the Shen family sister joked with us, saying that you were her future sister-in-law!"

Ling Youyao was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face.

The Shen family has only one daughter, Shen Xuhuai's biological younger sister - Shen Qiongyu.

The original owner and Shen Qiongyu grew up together and had a deep relationship, and the other party also treated her as her own sister-in-law, but who would have thought that Ling Youyao would marry into the palace in the end.

From now on, Shen Qiongyu hated her, thinking that it was Ling Youyao who neglected her feelings, coveted vanity, and failed Shen Xuhuai.

Now that Su Lingxi deliberately mentioned Shen Qiongyu, she just wanted to scare her off.

"Qiong Yu has always been like this. She also said that if she was a man, she would definitely marry me back home. Such ridiculous things." Ling Youyao smiled.

Su Lingxi was surprised and said: "I know that the Shen family sister is lively, but I don't want to say such a thing?"

Ling Youyao smiled without saying a word.

This is all made up by her.

Seeing this, Su Lingxi thought it was Ling Youyao who remembered something sad, and she couldn't help but feel complacent, and pretended to be comforting on her face: "It is said that a blessed girl does not enter the door of the unlucky."

"The concubine is a blessed one. Although she was lost in the east, she finally married the prince, which is considered complete."

Ling Youyao sneered in her heart, did she really think she didn't understand?

Overtly and secretly reminding her that she had an affair with Shen Xuhuai.

"Yes, being able to marry the prince is the luckiest thing in my life." Ling Youyao made a face full of happiness.

Murder must be punished.

Hearing this, the smile on Su Lingxi's face froze for a moment, and the hands hidden under the big sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

Ling Youyao turned a blind eye, pointed to the lotus in the pond next to it, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, look, how beautiful that white lotus blooms."

Su Lingxi was so angry that her teeth itch, but she could only agree with it with a smile.

While speaking, the two had arrived at the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

The queen is a good friend, when she saw Ling Youyao coming, she held her hand and talked kindly.

Su Lingxi couldn't get in the conversation at all, so she found an excuse and left.

The queen didn't keep her, so she let her go.

Seeing the scene where the queen and Ling Youyao got acquainted, Su Lingxi felt resentful, turned around and went back to Yanfu Palace.

The Queen Mother was not surprised to see her come back, and said coldly: "Are you satisfied today?"

"Aunt." Su Lingxi lowered her head, unable to hide her disappointment.

The Queen Mother hated her appearance the most, and said: "You came to Ai's house early in the morning just to see what Princess Jing looks like. Now that you see her, you can go back."

Su Lingxi's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Auntie, I know I was wrong. I have known the prince for many years, and except for Ling Qingwei, I have never seen him treat anyone so kindly."

"I'm just not reconciled."

The queen mother snorted coldly: "It's a shame that you are still the niece of the Ai family's direct relatives, and you are so eager to find face! There are countless sons in the Beijing and middle families, so you must not marry Fu Mingjue?!"

"When Ling Qingwei was alive, Fu Mingjue was unwilling to marry you. After Ling Qingwei died, he would rather wait for Ling Youyao for four years than marry you!"

"Don't you understand?!"

Su Lingxi knelt on the ground, her nails dug deep into her palms, and said unwillingly, "Auntie, you once said that if I wasn't a daughter of your clan, the queen would be able to do it."

"You!" The queen mother was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"What I'm seeking now is only the position of a princess, but others have snatched it away. Most of the children of the aristocratic families in Beijing are just moths of the family, how can they compare to the prince?"

Su Lingxi raised her face and asked, "Auntie, do you have the heart to watch Xi'er marry a useless person who was born in a family?!"

"presumptuous!"

The queen mother glared at Su Lingxi angrily, her hands shaking slightly while holding the handrail.

She never expected that the niece she raised herself would grow into such an ambitious appearance!
Relying on his own love, so lawless!

When Nanny Gui saw this, she quickly comforted the Queen Mother: "Quiet Queen, please don't get angry because Ms. Su also made a slip of the tongue for a while."

Su Lingxi also realized that she was too rude, and hurriedly said: "It's Xi'er who is too excited, auntie don't get angry."

The queen mother took two deep breaths, and gradually calmed down: "It is because you are the niece of Aijia that you can come and go freely in this palace, but you also have to recognize your identity!"

"It's fine to say some things in front of Ai's family. If others overhear, are you going to drag the entire Duke Yu's mansion to be buried with you?"

"Yes, Xi'er knows it's wrong." Su Lingxi grabbed her skirt tightly, not daring to say a word of rebuttal.

Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager felt a headache and asked Nanny Gui to help her up.

"You are seventeen now. If you don't marry again, no one will marry you even if you are Aijia's niece. You can do it yourself, go back."

The queen mother was so angry that she didn't bother to talk to her, leaving these words and went back to the inner hall to rest.

Su Lingxi was left standing there blankly by herself, she felt unwilling.

No matter what, she is better than Ling Youyao, but she doesn't have a face similar to Ling Qingwei.
