Reborn Daughter of the Clan

Chapter 38
"Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you? Is there anything else worth lying to?" Nangong Linglong asked sharply.

Gu Xiaoli was speechless, she really had nothing worth lying to Nangong Linglong.

"I'll give you a few days to think about it. After the new year, I hope you can give me an answer." Nangong Linglong didn't force Gu Xiaoli to agree to her immediately, and gave Gu Xiaoli time to think about it. She also wanted to investigate Gu Xiaoli in secret. glass ability.

Taking out a ten tael ingot of silver from her bosom, Nangong Linglong handed the silver tael to Gu Xiaoli and said, "This is the appeasement fee for disturbing you, take it home and buy some new year's goods for your family to live on." Let’s have a full year. It’s cold, so don’t let your brothers, sisters, and grandparents get cold.”

Gu Xiaoli looked at her in surprise.

After confirming that she is a descendant of the Gu family, the girl in front of her is about the same age as her. She looks older than her, but in fact she should be younger than her. With a smile on her face, this seemingly harmless girl actually knows the population of her family. As for the situation, it is reasonable to say that Nangong Linglong, who is of noble birth, is not clear about the situation.

Gu Xiaoli didn't know that Nangong Linglong used to be innocent and active, and her biggest wish was to carry a sword into the rivers and lakes, become a heroic woman, and she knew a little about some things in the capital.If she hadn't met Zhao Ran at the age of 15 and Ji, Nangong Linglong might not have returned to this year and started over again.Besides, five years ago, when she was ten years old, the Gu family collapsed overnight, and a dozen or so members of the family almost lived on the streets. She heard the nanny mention it, but she didn't expect that five years later, she would actually have trouble with the Gu family. together.

"Brother dumb, take Miss Gu home." Nangong Linglong put the ingot of silver into Gu Xiaoli's hand before saying to the dumb slave.

The dumb slave immediately took a few steps forward, mentioned Gu Xiaoli and left.

"Brother dumb, be gentle, she's a little girl." Nangong Linglong couldn't help but smile when she saw how the dumb slave was carrying Gu Xiaoli.

When the mute slave carried Gu Xiaoli and disappeared into the night, Nangong Linglong suppressed her smile, looked in the direction of the palace, and said silently in her heart: Cousin Yao, Longer will definitely love you for more than ten years For your position as the crown prince, Long'er will try her best to protect you.

She looked in the direction of Xiangfu again, with a sneer on her lips, Wen Renchu, wait for the move!
The night is getting deeper and deeper.

After the darkest time before dawn slowly passed, the eastern sky showed a fish-belly white.

Gradually, the gentle sun jumped out of the horizon.

There is very little sunshine in the cold winter. Although the sunlight is weak, it also sweeps away a little bit of chill for people.

The weak sunlight softly shone on the golden glazed tiles of the palace, emitting a dazzling glare.

In the imperial garden, wintersweet is in full bloom.

Chen Qingtong led her two personal maids, just came out of the Qingning Palace, walked to the Imperial Garden, saw the wintersweet blooming, so she slowed down and took a walk in the Imperial Garden.

She was "severely punished" and had just finished contemplating behind closed doors for a month. The queen said she missed her, so she invited her into the palace to accompany her for breakfast.The queen is her aunt, who dotes on her very much, and regards her as the princess concubine, and it is common to call her into the palace to accompany her from time to time.

She also regarded the palace as her future home.

The soft winter sun fell on her pretty face, highlighting her dignity.

The silver-white brocade dress on her body was even more white under the sunlight, which perfectly set off her noble and elegant temperament.

When she was walking towards a pavilion, she saw a bright yellow figure hurrying from the direction of Tai Chi Palace.

She stopped immediately, and the expression on her face became lighter and more elegant. The cold wind that was still blowing fiercely even after the sun came out was blowing against the hem of her skirt. From a distance, she seemed to be riding the wind. Come the fairies.

When Han Yao was only a dozen steps away from her, she led two maids to meet her, and saluted Han Yao with a shallow smile. Her gentle and crisp voice was as warm as the round sun in the sky: " Qingtong has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Han Yao's hasty pace immediately stopped. He was a little surprised when he saw Chen Qingtong early in the morning. Jun didn't have much expression on his face, but asked lightly: "Qingtong, why are you here?"

Chen Qingtong still smiled and replied: "Qingtong went to the palace to accompany the empress to have breakfast."

"Oh." Han Yao said indifferently, his eyes drifted over the top of Chen Qingtong's head, looking at the Qingning Palace in the distance, and asked casually: "The empress has had breakfast too much."

"Used."

Chen Qingtong's eyes full of love raised up and fell on Han Yao's handsome face, seeing that Han Yao didn't see her, she felt faintly displeased.If the person standing in front of Han Yao at this time was Nangong Linglong, Han Yao would definitely be smiling and pleasantly surprised, right?

but……

Chen Qingtong sneered in his heart, no matter how much Han Yao liked Nangong Linglong, how much he doted on Nangong Linglong, he would never get Nangong Linglong.When I was having breakfast with the queen just now, the queen told her that the emperor had already entrusted the queen with the responsibility of choosing the crown princess. The emperor also clearly stated that Nangong Linglong and Han Yao were impossible, and the queen also said that she, Chen Qingtong, She is the real candidate for the princess.

"Qingtong, I need to ask the queen mother about something in this palace. I'm leaving first, so don't stay here for too long, the wind is very strong." Han Yao said casually, and walked towards Qingning Palace after passing Chen Qingtong.

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to ask the Empress about the selection of the Crown Princess?" Chen Qingtong turned around and asked with a faint smile when Han Yao passed by her. No one noticed the flash of jealousy in her eyes.

No matter how hard she tried, Han Yao always treated her coldly, so cold that she didn't want to say a few more words to her.

Han Yao turned around abruptly and stared at Chen Qingtong. After a while, he smiled and asked, "Qingtong, did the queen mother tell you? Who is the candidate for the crown prince in this palace?" He indirectly admitted the purpose of his trip.

"His Royal Highness, it's rare to see the sun today. Look at how beautiful the wintersweet blooms are." Chen Qingtong answered the wrong question, turned around and led the maid to the gazebo, and stood under the gazebo to watch the winter scenery of the imperial garden.

Han Yao raised his eyebrows, and a icy coldness flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. He also followed Chen Qingtong to the gazebo, and ordered his bodyguard to stand at the entrance of the gazebo.

"Qingtong, the queen mother has chosen you." Han Yao is not an idiot, he doesn't know what the queen mother is thinking.

Chen Qingtong turned to look at him, slowly suppressed her smile, and asked tentatively: "His Royal Highness, if the Empress really chooses Qingtong, will His Highness refuse?"

Han Yao stared at her fixedly, and the sexy lips spit out words word by word: "Yes! Qingtong, there is only one person in my heart, I don't say anything, you know who she is, if the queen mother I really made a choice, I hope you can tell the Queen Mother on my behalf, don't waste your youth."
