Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 968 How do you want to deal with Bai Mingwei?
Princess Lingyi was speechless for a while.

Then she put the letter next to the candle and burned it.

The extinguishing light of the fire covered her face with a strange red color.

There was a vague cold light in her eyes.

After a while, she asked: "Has the Crown Prince returned to the palace?"

The emperor's nine sons will leave the palace and live in another house as soon as they reach the age of 12. Only the crown prince can live in the palace.

Therefore, although Liu Yu had his own prince's palace, he would still live in the palace often and accompany the queen and Emperor Yuan Zhen from time to time.

Although he has not made any outstanding achievements in these years.

But just these two clauses, benevolence and filial piety, silenced the courtiers.

Even the prince's maternal clan could not find an excuse to blame the prince, let alone ask Emperor Yuan Zhen to depose the prince.

Palace man Jinrong replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just come back, and he seems to be in a bad mood. If you want to find His Highness, how about waiting for tomorrow? Don't get into trouble."

Princess Lingyi smiled secretly: "There must be fire, otherwise how can we add fuel to the fire?"

Jinrong remained silent.

Jinxiu was originally Princess Lingyi's personal maid.

After her death, many people had long coveted the position of the Grand Palace Lady and were ready to move.

But Princess Lingyi didn't give them too much time to jump up and down. She quickly promoted Jinrong, the lantern-bearing maid, to the close maid, and reported it to the Queen Mother.

There is nothing outstanding about this Jinrong on weekdays, and she usually does her job calmly.

Being suddenly promoted to the position of Grand Palace Lady must be puzzling.

But careful people discovered that the lantern-bearing maid Jinrong was originally sent to Her Highness the Princess for duty by the Empress.

Now that he is a confidant, it is understandable to take over Jinxiu's responsibilities.

At this time, Princess Lingyi spoke again: "Let's go visit the prince and brother."

Jin Rong respectfully agreed, and then came to Liu Yu's palace with Princess Lingyi.

When Princess Lingyi saw Liu Yu, Liu Yu was painting.

The bad mood mentioned by Jin Rong was not reflected at all by Liu Yu.

Seeing his compatriot sister, he smiled and said, "Why is Lingyi here?"

Princess Lingyi looked at her brother without blinking.

At this time, the elder brother is a gentleman, as gentle as jade, and as humble as a god who can save the world.

No other emotions could be seen on his brother's body.

Princess Lingyi walked over: "I heard that the emperor suffered a loss from Xiao Chongyuan. Lingyi came over to see if the emperor needs comfort."

Liu Yu's expression did not change at all, and he still bent down to paint.

His jade-colored robe poured out like running water under the lamp.

Finally, he spoke: "Ling Yi's information is quite good. Who did you listen to?"

Princess Lingyi knew that her royal brother was never as simple as he appeared.

The gentleness is pretended, and perhaps the occasional impulsiveness and stupidity are also pretended.

These are just false trappings that a qualified heir puts on himself in order to survive.

So she didn't use any tricks, but got straight to the point: "Brother, we are from the same mother, and what my mother can give to you can also be given to me. Is it strange to know what you are doing?"

Liu Yu still smiled warmly: "Lingyi, curiosity killed the cat. There are some things that it's better not to know, so as not to get burned." Princess Lingyi said: "Brother, I know my duty, even though I am noble. Dongling’s only legitimate princess, however, I will always be ready to be your stepping stone whenever you need me.”

"As long as I can bring you benefits, no matter where you put me, I will not be able to resist. Since I am so important to you, why do you need to be so separated from me?"

"I don't want to be a one-time stepping stone. Naturally, I need to make a difference. As long as I don't affect Brother Huang, why bother being aggressive with me?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he raised his head and looked at Princess Lingyi.

He suddenly raised the corners of his lips and revealed a smile.

Then, he waved to Princess Lingyi: "Come and take a look, what do you think of this painting by the emperor?"

Princess Lingyi was already quite impatient: "I have business matters to discuss with your royal brother, and I'm not here to see the paintings."

She didn't realize at all that the topic had been changed by Liu Yu unknowingly.

What's more, she didn't notice that the calmer Liu Yu became, the less calm she became.

And this lack of composure will make her very easy to be manipulated.

Sure enough, Liu Yu put down the brush and said immediately: "Oh? What's the serious matter, want to talk to the emperor?"

Princess Lingyi sat down, straightened her sleeves, and then said, "Brother, I want to marry Xiao Chongyuan."

Liu Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and asked: "You should go to your father or grandpa for this matter. Why did you come to me?"

Princess Lingyi picked up the tea cup and raised her eyes to look at him: "Because if I marry Xiao Chongyuan, the biggest beneficiary will be the emperor brother. If I don't come to the emperor brother, what will I do to them?"

Liu Yu slowly walked to the desk, lifted up his clothes and sat down.

He looked at Princess Lingyi and asked again: "So, what does Lingyi think the emperor can do for you?"

Princess Lingyi took a sip of tea and then handed the tea cup to Jinrong's hand.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but her eyes became sharper and sharper.

That voice actually sounded like gnashing of teeth.

"Originally, both my grandfather and my father intended to marry me to Xiao Chongyuan. I also thought that instead of just finding a hole in the court to step in for the emperor, I would rather take a longer-term view."

"The regent of Western Chu, Long Zhang and Phoenix, looks calm and majestic. Under the black silk and mask, he must have a face that is astonishing to heaven and earth."

"And he owns a country. If I marry Western Chu, I will be the mistress of Western Chu. Isn't such a marriage better than marrying someone like a noble prince in the court?"

Speaking of this, Princess Lingyi's eyes burst out with a vicious cold light.

She said: "But here comes Bai Mingwei, who wants to steal my limelight in everything and overwhelm me in everything. I can't be angry!"

"So I want Brother Huang to help me deal with Bai Mingwei! I must not let her become an obstacle to my marriage with Xi Chu."

"Otherwise, not only will I lose a good husband, but you, my dear brother, will also lose the support of Xi Chu."

Liu Yu asked her: "Before coming here, who did you listen to or what news did you receive?"

Princess Lingyi asked back: "Brother Huang, do you think I was incited to come to you? Brother Huang has a sharp ear and eyesight. Don't you know how angry I was with Xiao Chongyuan because of that Bai Mingwei! How can I swallow this!"

Liu Yu's voice was calm: "If you are not honest, my brother will not help you."

Princess Lingyi then told the truth: "I have an informant in the Bai Mansion. Just now I received news that Bai Mingwei does not want to marry Yuan Xun, and I am afraid that he values ​​Xiao Chongyuan more."

"This is understandable. If she marries Beiyan, it will be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth. But if she marries Xichu, she will have Xichu as a backer in the Bai family. Of course she is happy!"

"We must stop her and not let her rob Xiao Chongyuan, otherwise it will be too easy for her! No matter what, I will not let her be proud!"

Liu Yu said: "How do you want to deal with Bai Mingwei?"
