Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 16
Xiao Muling stared blankly at Princess Linghua, feeling the slight trembling of the princess's hand holding her, Xiao Muling's warm eyes moistened from the bottom of her heart.

Xiao Muling could feel the princess's earnest and hopeful eyes, and she could feel the princess's love for her. For some reason, she had a natural closeness to the princess. It seemed that this beautiful princess was as amiable as Jingyuan and Yuehong. .

Xiao Muling nodded happily, her big eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she answered the princess's words with a crisp voice: "Okay! Godmother will hurt Ling'er very much in the future!".

Princess Ling Hua heard Xiao Muling's "mother" so happy that she was about to cry out, she resisted the feeling of happiness hitting her mind and chest, nodded heavily and said: "Oh, what the hell? Mother must be hurting Linger."

Speaking of which, Princess Linghua brought Xiao Muling to the table where the emperor and queen were seated, and said expectantly but firmly: "Brother, my sister wants to make Xiao Muling a righteous daughter, and begs the brother to grant the title of Princess Xiao Muling." She was decisive. Kneeling down on the ground, the queen and queen mother looked at Princess Linghua with some puzzlement in their eyes.

Princess Ling Hua's words attracted the attention of many people below. Princess Ling Hua looked up at the emperor, hoping that the emperor would agree to her request.

The emperor was seated on the upper right of Princess Linghua, and he could hear the conversation between Xiao Muling and Princess Linghua clearly.The emperor was overjoyed when he found out about this, and had his own plans.He stretched his sword eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips slightly, and immediately announced in public: "Princess Linghua liked Linger very much the first time she saw her, and I want to adopt her as a righteous daughter. I also like her very much, so I named Linger Princess Fengying."

The people in the audience congratulated Xiao Nianyou, Princess Linghua and others, but Ye Xinwei was almost stunned, with a stiff smile on her face and a gloomy mood.

Liu Yan was just a little surprised on the face, seeing Ye Xinwei's startled expression and a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Nianyou immediately pulled Ye Xinwei, Liu Yan and Xiao Muling to kneel down together: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Princess, for your love!"

The emperor said: "From now on we will be a family, but we have to come and walk around often. It is rare that Princess Linghua loves Ling'er so much. After today's banquet, let her stay in the palace for a few more days."

Xiao Nianyou was very embarrassed, but if he went against the holy will in public, he must be asking for trouble.The situation is already like this, he can only agree: "Yes."

Xiao Nianyou raised his head and looked at Princess Linghua quietly. This was the first time he had looked at the most beautiful woman in the world. She was indeed beautiful, but somehow, in Xiao Nianyou's view, Princess Linghua's gaze was always There was a hint of indifference and a touch of hatred.

Xiao Nianyou was secretly startled, but he couldn't figure it out, he had always stayed away from the palace on purpose, this Princess Linghua had nothing to do with him, but why did she hate him so much in her eyes?

Then why did Princess Linghua keep Xiao Muling in the palace, and why did she show her love for Xiao Muling.Xiao Nianyou was worried about Xiao Muling's safety, but he couldn't ask Princess Linghua why she did this.

Old Mrs. Xiao heard that her great-granddaughter Xiao Muling was left in the palace, she was furious, and taught Xiao Nianyou with a trembling beard, "You don't know that the royal family is a bottomless pit, don't you know that our ancestors of the Xiao family taught us to stay away from the royal family? Don't you know that the severe drought in Taiyuan is the time when money and food are scarce!"

Xiao Nianyou stood with his hands down, silently standing aside, letting Mrs. Xiao scold him.Why doesn't he know the pros and cons of it, but today this matter cannot be decided by him.

Mrs. Xiao continued to chatter and curse, this old man usually doesn't care much about business matters, he likes to enjoy leisure, but now he is very angry about this matter, obviously what Xiao Nianyou did made him extremely unhappy, Xiao Nianyou violated Followed the ancestral training.

Old Mrs. Xiao had been admonishing her for a long time, his mouth was a little dry, and finally he had enough, he sighed: "It's a good thing it's just a girl!" There is no way.

After hearing this, Xiao Nianyou was quite unhappy. Although Xiao Muling was a girl, she was still his daughter after all, and she was his only flesh and blood. He still loved Xiao Muling very much from the bottom of his heart. Of course, there was also Lin Fei's part in it. .

Xiao Nianyou seldom opposed or refuted the old man face to face. He didn't want to upset the old man who had carefully cultivated him. Of course, what to do afterwards is a matter for later.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao thought about the issue of heirs, he immediately had a headache and found a new topic: "You said you also have two wives and several concubines. It's been three years now, why hasn't there been any movement? There is only one girl so far. How can he inherit the incense? It's still Lin Fei's belly to live up to, but it's a pity that he went early, hey..."

When Xiao Nianyou heard Lin Fei's name, his heart sank slowly, and the scene of Lin Fei's death appeared before his eyes again.He hugged Lin Fei's cold body that day, and he didn't even have time to see Lin Fei for the last time.

It wasn't until that moment that he realized how much this woman held in his heart.That's right, Xiao Nianyou really wanted three wives and four concubines to fill his backyard. He used to hang out in Fireworks and Willow Alley, and played with many women, so he would inevitably develop some feelings. One reason was to stay away from the imperial power, but it was also because he boasted that he was a romantic by nature. .

But that day when Xiao Nianyou rushed back to Xiao's mansion, his wife Lin Fei was lying on the bed and her lips had turned pale.His wife, Lin Fei, would never be able to look at him again, or call him "Husband" again. Only then did he realize that he had fallen in love with this woman to the bone with a sharp heartache and a feeling of suffocation.

Unfortunately, it was too late.It will be too late for him to find out his true intention in the future, she has already gone.

From then on, he would still pretend to be nothing, flirtatiously flirt with other women, but there was always a shadow in his heart, and that shadow could make him feel cold just by looking at him from a distance.

The Xiao family has always favored sons over daughters, but in the past three years, many wives and concubines have had nothing to do. All he did was to give Lin Fei a compensation, meaningless compensation.

In the hall where Princess Linghua lives in Yongfu Palace, Princess Linghua and Princess Yuning are preparing to change Xiao Muling into new clothes.Princess Ling Hua took off Xiao Muling's coat, revealing the white shirt inside.

The material of the shirt was good but somehow it was a bit too big, and it looked a little baggy when worn on the body. Xiao Muling's slender arms looked even more slender in the wide sleeves.

Princess Linghua looked at Xiao Muling's slender arms and ill-fitting clothes, and felt a pain in her heart, but what made her even more distressed was that there were scars on Xiao Muling's fair arms!

Princess Linghua grabbed Xiao Muling's arm, startling Princess Yuning and Xiao Muling beside her.

Princess Linghua's eyes turned red, and she realized that she was too emotional, so she asked in a steady voice, "Ling'er, what's wrong with your hand?"

Xiao Muling was taken aback for a moment, her big watery eyes suddenly became timid, looked at Princess Linghua, then lowered her head, and said softly, "I accidentally dropped it myself."

Princess Linghua was angry and sad when she heard it, it was obviously beaten with a thin stick or squeezed by someone, this child already knows how to read people's eyes at such a young age, how much suffering she has suffered to be able to have such a heart, precociously understands so forbearance.

Thinking of this, Princess Ling Hua even turned her anger on Xiao Nianyou, scolding him thousands of times in her heart.Isn't Ling'er his own daughter, why did Ling'er suffer so much?Xiao Nianyou couldn't even take care of her own daughter well, so the resentment towards Xiao Nianyou in her heart increased!
The injury was on Xiao Muling's body, but the pain was in Princess Linghua's heart, her eyes were already moist.

"Godmother, it won't hurt anymore." Seeing Princess Linghua's sad and loving look, Xiao Muling felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to comfort this person who cared about her, softly speaking Jingyuan's words that often comforted herself.

Princess Yu Ning's eyes turned red when she heard this, she looked at Princess Ling Hua and said, "Sister Huang, this matter must be done to Mu Ling."

Princess Linghua's eyebrows were filled with anger, and the coldness in her eyes disappeared in a flash.When she looked down at Xiao Muling, her eyes became more gentle, and she said, "Ling'er is good, the godmother will never let you be bullied in the future."
