Prince Huaxin's Nominal Wife: Concubine Leng Enchanting

Chapter 52
Ling Yaoyao and Ming Haoxuan returned from the garden, and just as they walked to the door of the general's mansion hall, they saw Ling Wei striding in from outside the courtyard.

"Father." Ling Yaoyao called out excitedly, and went forward to meet her.

"Yaoyao is back." General Ling was not to mention how happy he was when he saw the newly married baby girl appearing in front of him in all her splendor, and a heartfelt smile spread across his face.

Originally, he was born with a majestic appearance, but now looking at Ling Yaoyao, his eyebrows are not raised, his beard is not upturned, and his eyes are full of loving smiles.

"General Ling, I'm going down." Ming Haoxuan came over and greeted Ling Wei, but he was still polite and distant, and didn't call him father-in-law.

"Prince Jing, go in and sit in." Ling Wei didn't care about this at all, and enthusiastically let Ming Haoxuan into the hall.

The three walked into the flower hall together, and Ling Yaoyao obediently sat beside Ming Haoxuan.

As soon as he was seated, Ling Wei said: "Prince Jing, I am a straightforward person, and I never beat around the bush. I am really happy that you can come back with Yaoyao today. To be honest, I am really happy. Those things in the past were all caused by our General's House. No, today the old minister will make up for the prince again, and I hope the prince will not take it too seriously, we will all be a kind family in the future."

"Yaoyao is the new wife of the king, it is only natural for the king to accompany her back to her mother's house." Ming Haoxuan smiled lightly, looked at the green willow tree outside the door, and his voice became deeper: "As for what happened in the past, I don't remember anymore."

Ling Wei was taken aback for a while, and then he laughed heartily: "That's very good, my lord. I have heard that my lord drinks a lot, but I have never had the opportunity to sit with you and drink. There is a jar of heavy wine in the general's mansion Daughter Hong, who has been here for 50 years, today is a rare opportunity, and we are here to drink and talk happily."

"Hehe, this king was just asking Yaoyao, is there enough wine in the general's mansion? Since General Ling has such a taste, of course, this king should be respectful rather than obedient. I will definitely have a good drink with the general until I get drunk." Ming Haoxuan Said with a smile.

General Ling was originally a drinker, seeing Ling Yaoyao and Ming Haoxuan coming back together today, the relationship seemed to be good, and he was in a good mood for a while.Immediately, he got up and asked the servants to bring the jar of old wine over.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Ling Ziluo walked in and was taken aback when he saw the scene in the room.

Seeing this, Ling Yaoyao ran over and said coquettishly, "Brother, why did you come back so late today? I didn't know I was coming back."

"Yes, I forgot." Ling Ziluo forced a smile, and turned his eyes to Ming Haoxuan who was sitting in the room and was also looking at him coldly.

The gazes of the two men intersected and froze for an instant, Ling Yaoyao still wanted to talk, but suddenly felt that the room became quiet.There seemed to be a strange tense atmosphere secretly flowing around, and even the air became cold.

I saw Ling Ziluo and Ming Haoxuan looking at each other gloomyly, their gazes were filled with chills, their gazes were as sharp and ferocious as Xiao Li's flying knife.

Ling Yaoyao just watched from the side, and she could also feel the sense of sword confrontation between the two of them.

Seeing this scene, General Ling's joyful face was filled with embarrassment, he coughed heavily and said, "Zi Luo, Prince Jing is here as a guest, and also your brother-in-law, why don't you even say hello?" Know how to fight?"

"Brother-in-law?" Ling Ziluo sneered slightly, walked over to Ming Haoxuan and said, "Prince Jing is a distinguished guest, welcome."

"Hehe, this king is going back to his mother's house with his beloved wife, so there is no need for General Ling to be so polite." Ming Haoxuan seemed to have a smile on his face, but that smile was colder than Ling Ziluo's, and his eyes were even more radiant. Devouring flames.

At this moment, Mrs. Ling walked in, and General Ling quickly smoothed things over and said, "The kitchen is all ready, let them serve the food. Today we will have a good drink."

Several people sat at the dining table one by one, maids and servants came in one by one with trays, and presented dishes and snacks in turn.

Seeing that Yun Ying hadn't come yet, Ling Wei frowned slightly, and asked Mrs. Ling, "What's wrong with Yun Ying?"

Madam Ling said: "I've been busy all morning, and I haven't seen anyone from her yet."

Just at this moment, a servant girl came in and said to General Ling and Mrs. Ling: "Master, Madam, Young Madam said that she is not feeling well, so she won't come over for dinner."

The atmosphere froze again, Ling Wei and Mrs. Ling looked at each other, both of them had complicated expressions.

"Go to the room and take care of the young lady." After a pause, Madam Ling said to the maid.

Ling Wei frowned even tighter, wanted to say something but finally didn't say anything, waved his big hand and said to the person sitting at the table: "Come on, let's start."

Ling Ziluo stood up and said, "I'll go and see Yun Ying."

After all, he strode out without waiting for General Ling and Mrs. Ling to speak.

At this moment, Ling Yaoyao keenly felt that the face of the man sitting next to her darkened.

"Don't care about him, let's eat first. Taoxiang, come over and pour wine." Ling Wei watched his son's back go away, and didn't want to worry about it, so he ordered the maid standing aside to pour wine.

At the mahogany dining table full of dishes, there were only four people sitting and eating.

Even though Mrs. Ling enthusiastically asked Ming Haoxuan to eat more from time to time, and General Ling began to drink and chat with Ming Haoxuan enthusiastically, Ling Yaoyao always felt that there was an indescribable silence at this seemingly lively dinner table.

General Ling and Ming Haoxuan are indeed masters in the wine market, they drank countless glasses of wine in just a short while, but they didn't seem drunk at all.

Ling Yaoyao looked at the two men who were pushing and changing glasses, and felt that her father was really enjoying tasting wine.But Ming Haoxuan always gave her the feeling of drinking away her sorrows.Even, seeing him toasting and drinking, she thought of such a phrase for no reason: wine into sorrow turns into tears of lovesickness.

This time, Ling Yaoyao really guessed what Ming Haoxuan was thinking.

Ming Haoxuan's heart at this moment is like coptis dipped in vinegar, sour and bitter.

He could only drink one cup after another to conceal the unspeakable loss and depression in his heart.He is still unwilling to admit that this time he took the initiative to accompany Ling Yaoyao back to her mother's house, not only because he wanted to act in a play, but also because he wanted to see Yun Ying in his heart.He came here, he stayed here to eat, all because he wanted to see her.But Yun Ying did not appear at the dining table as he longed for.

Ming Haoxuan understood that she was just deliberately avoiding him.And he, besides smiling wryly from the bottom of his heart, what else could he say?The woman he loves has already become someone else's wife.The person he is still thinking about, people don't want to see him at all, so why does he have to be affectionate and cocooned?Maybe, he really should let go of this endless relationship.

However, the development of things is often beyond people's expectations.

Just when Ling Yaoyao and the others thought that Ling Ziluo and Yunying would never show up, Ling Ziluo and Yunying walked in together hugging each other.

The two are really talented and beautiful, Ling Ziluo is holding Yunying's slender waist, and Yunying is nestling in his arms like a bird, an indescribable match, an indescribable affection...

This seemingly warm scene deeply hurt Ming Haoxuan's eyes, and also hurt his heart.

Although I have long accepted the fact that she is someone else's wife, it is still so unbearable to really see the woman I dream of being embraced by another man, as if someone took a knife from her. One by one across my heart, blood dripped out.

Although Ling Yaoyao didn't look directly at Ming Haoxuan who was sitting beside her, she could still feel the temperature in his eyes dropping sharply, which made her feel a deep chill all over her body.

"Father, mother." Yun Yingying stepped forward and called out.

Ling Ziluo thoughtfully supported her to sit down, and sat beside her.The two of them were sitting opposite to Ling Yaoyao and Ming Haoxuan.

"Yunying, are you feeling better?" Madam Ling nodded to Yunying and asked lovingly.

"Mother, there's nothing serious about it, maybe it's because the weather was too hot, and I was a little dizzy just now." Yun Ying forced a smile, her face was still pale and bloodless.

"Yunying, you need to eat more. How can you be so thin? I'm still waiting to have a grandson." General Ling was worried when he saw Yunying's fragile appearance.

"Father, I see." Yun Ying's pale face turned crimson all of a sudden, and she lowered her eyes uneasily as she spoke.

"Yun Ying, drink some soup first, you are weak, this red date and black chicken soup has been drunk to nourish blood." Ling Ziluo saw Yun Ying's embarrassment, and said softly while helping her to fill the soup.

"Zi Luo, I'll come by myself, don't worry about me, you drink with Dad and the others." Yunying whispered, wanting to take the bowl from Ling Ziluo's hand.

"Fool, I don't care who cares about you? You don't know how to take care of yourself." Ling Ziluo ignored Yunying's reaction, put a bowl full of soup in front of her, and said dotingly: "I want to drink It's over."

Looking at the two sweet and loving people in front of her, Ling Yaoyao was filled with emotion.Although my elder brother is usually very kind to Sister Yunying, but today he is obviously more considerate and considerate. Did he do this on purpose to show Ming Haoxuan?Alas, since they have already married Sister Yunying and become the winners in the love field, why bother to stimulate others like this?
While thinking, Ling Yaoyao glanced sympathetically at the handsome man beside her.Ming Haoxuan was quite indifferent at this moment, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, no more emotions could be seen on his face.

Ling Yaoyao secretly let out a sigh of relief, she only hoped that this embarrassing lunch would end soon.

But there was a crisp sound of "pa", and the jasper wine glass in Ming Haoxuan's hand had been broken into several pieces.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and when everyone was looking at Ming Haoxuan and didn't know what to say, Ming Haoxuan smiled leisurely, and said calmly: "This wine glass is too tasteless to drink, this king still wants to drink it. It breaks before you drink it to your heart's content."

After finishing speaking, he lightly tossed the shards of jade porcelain in his hand, and there was another crisp crackling sound on the ground.

"Taoxiang, change the wine glass for the lord, and change it to a silver cup." Ling Wei paused for a moment, then calmly ordered, and then called another maid to come over and clean up the ground.

Soon, Tao Xiang brought up a brand new silver wine set, and respectfully filled a glass of wine for Ming Haoxuan.

Ling Wei smiled all over his face and said: "My lord can drink freely now, this silver wine glass will not be broken no matter what."

"So what if something that is not strong is made of diamonds? It will still break." Ming Haoxuan smiled meaningfully, raised the wine glass in front of him, looked at Ling Ziluo and said, "The major general came late, This wine, how do you say we drink it?"

"Whatever the prince says is fine, I will accompany you to the end." Ling Ziluo also smiled coldly.

"Hehe, refreshment, how about we drink six glasses first?" Ming Haoxuan said, and drank the wine in the glass, leaving nothing left.

A maid nearby had already poured wine for Ling Ziluo, and Ling Ziluo also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and asked the maid to fill it up again.

The two of them drank six glasses of white wine without changing their faces, without even taking a bite of food.

Ling Yaoyao was watching with uneasiness, feeling that these two men had brought their enmity in love to the wine market, so they really didn't know what troubles they would cause if they fought like this.
