Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

At midnight, the bright moon came out from the clouds, pressing down the heavy sky around, Ling Youyao quietly exited the room.

Yinzhu was waiting outside the door with a cloak, seeing her coming out, she hurriedly greeted her: "Wangfei, how are you?"

Ling Youyao shook her head: "She is more cautious than I imagined, no matter what I say, she won't say the reason for going to the backyard."

"Then what should we do now?" Yin Zhu fastened her cloak and helped her go out.

Ling Youyao gathered the cloak and said: "Since the lord let her go, he must have his own plan. Let me just watch her. She was frightened tonight, and she must not be able to sleep peacefully. I'm afraid she won't stay here again." The palace is gone, and Mrs. Cai's birthday banquet tomorrow is the only chance for her to leave the palace."

Hearing this, Yin Zhu was a little confused: "But, where can Miss Tang go after leaving the palace?"

The only thing Ling Ling can rely on in the capital is the Ling family. Ling Qingyan always dislikes her. If she returns to the Ling family, Ling Qingyan will never let her go.

Ling Youyao naturally understood the reason, and said: "Where she will go, we will know after the birthday banquet."

Although I don't know why Ling Ling went to the backyard, but I know how she came to the capital.
Ling Youyao looked at the solitary moon in the sky, and inexplicably, the gentle and jade-like eyebrows of a young man appeared in front of her eyes——

Shen Chao, what exactly do you want to do this time?
In fact, there was only one thing Shen Xuhuai wanted to do. Ling Qingyan said that he had a clever plan, but he didn't think that he would become an outsider.

In the quiet room, there was only the sound of candles flickering in the chilly air. After a while, someone came in from outside.

"My son, Ling Ling was discovered by King Jing."

Shen Xuhuai paused, then returned to normal, and said, "It will be a matter of time before she is discovered, what action can Fu Mingjue take?"

"Prince Jing wanted to kill Ling Ling directly, but it happened that Concubine Jing came, so he had no choice but to give up." Wen Sheng reported truthfully.

After listening, Shen Xuhuai understood: "Since Fu Mingjue wants to kill Lingling, she must have discovered something. Lingling is greedy for life and afraid of death, so she must be eager to seek my help at this moment. Find a chance and bring her here." see me."

"My son, do you want to meet her in person? What if King Jing finds out that you did all this, will you?"

"Do you think Fu Mingjue doesn't know it's me?" Shen Xuhuai chuckled, "But if he knows, what can he do to me? If the Queen Mother finds out about this, she will never miss this opportunity to deal with Fu Mingjue."

Wen Sheng asked tentatively, "Then do you want to tell the Queen Mother about this?"

Shen Xuhuai lowered his eyelids to cover the abnormality in his eyes, and his voice was as ethereal as the wind: "Please tell the Queen Mother, it's not me, but her."

Wen Sheng didn't understand who the "she" Shizi was talking about, seeing that he suddenly showed a bit of confusion on his calm and indifferent face, he finally didn't ask again.

As for who she is, only Shen Xuhuai knows.

It was about to dawn, and the mist that enveloped the capital was dispersed layer by layer at this moment. The sun illuminated the gray sky, and the shops on the street opened their doors one by one.

Today is Mrs. Cai's [-]th birthday, and the servants of Cai's mansion have been busy with the birthday banquet at noon.

Cai Yuan is the emperor's teacher, he has an extraordinary status in the court, and he is kind to the late emperor. Even His Majesty has to call him Mr. when he sees him, so many people want to take advantage of this birthday banquet to join the Cai family. relationship.

One after another, many guests came.

Mrs. Cai was busy talking with the ladies, when she heard the porter report that Princess Jing had arrived, she stood up in fright.

"Princess Jing is here?"

The boy gasped and nodded, "Yes, we've reached the door now."

Mrs. Cai quickly corrected her posture, straightened her clothes, and went to the door as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

The wives sitting together looked at each other in blank dismay, that's fine, why is Princess Jing here?

Ling Youyao wore a lake-green jacket and skirt today, her black silk was rolled up, and she wore a set of elegant pearl hair and face. Her face was like a peach blossom, and her clear eyes were even more shining.

When Mrs. Cai saw her, she greeted her with a happy face: "My wife has seen the princess, and she is really flattered to be able to come today."

Passing the post to Ling Youyao was just out of courtesy, and I never thought that she would really come.

Ling Youyao replied with a smile: "Mrs. Cai, you are welcome. I am here to congratulate the old lady on her birthday."

Seeing how gentle and amiable she was speaking, Mrs. Cai's uneasy heart subsided, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, Princess, for thinking about it. If the old lady knows, she will be very happy."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the old lady yet."

The two walked in while talking.

Ling Ling, who was left out the whole time, followed Ling Youyao, feeling uncomfortable.

Obviously they are all daughters of the Ling family, Ling Youyao can be embraced by others, and the first assistant's wife treats her with courtesy, but she can only stand behind Ling Youyao, acting as a green leaf.

She stared at Ling Youyao's back resentfully, the jealousy and unwillingness in her heart almost engulfed her.

At this time, a gentle female voice suddenly came from behind: "The princess has gone in with Mrs. Cai, why is the girl still standing here?"

Lingling came back to her senses, turned around and saw a girl in blue looking at her with a smile.

It was probably when she first came to the capital, and when she saw such a noble lady who was more beautiful and dignified than herself, Ling Ling would always feel an inexplicable resistance, even disgust.She hated that she didn't have a good background, hated that she didn't have a beautiful face.

Lingling only glanced at Su Lingxi, then looked away in disgust, and said coldly, "I don't want to go in."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Su Lingxi quickly stopped her: "Are you Ling Youyao's cousin?"

Hearing the sound, Lingling really stopped, looked back at Su Lingxi, and asked, "How do you know who I am?"

Su Lingxi smiled: "I heard that Princess Jing has a sister from Huaizhou who lives in the palace. When I see you again today, I know it's you."

As long as there is any trouble in the palace, she will know it, not to mention that there is a young woman living in the palace.

When Lingling heard the word Huaizhou, she felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to think of her father who was a sinner, and her mother who was born in a merchant.

Su Lingxi didn't seem to notice the change in her expression, and continued: "The concubine has a noble status, and even Mrs. Cai has to pay her three points of respect when she sees her. You and I are mediocre, so let's go to the garden to talk to Miss Cai. "

Hearing this, Lingling was unhappy, and immediately retorted: "I'm also Ling Youyao's cousin, how can I be worse than her?"

Su Lingxi was contemptuous in her heart, she was indeed a stupid person without knowing it.

"I was negligent," she smiled, "Miss Ling, Princess Wang simply doesn't have time to accompany you right now, why don't I take you around?"

Seeing her gentle expression, and hearing faint chatter and laughter from the hall, Ling Ling agreed.

Su Lingxi achieved her goal, took her arm affectionately, and led her to the garden.
