While Lingfei was in a daze, Huandong opened the door and walked in. Seeing Lingfei in the room, he was stunned and said apologetically: "Princess, I didn't know you were here, so I didn't knock on the door..."
Lingfei Yingying smiled and said: "It's okay, let me ask you, did Ling Guoyou say that after the wedding, he would put a flower on the bed?"
"Ah?" Huandong opened his eyes wide and said in confusion: "This slave has never heard of this rule. Where did the princess hear it?"
Lingfei shrugged and said, "It's okay. I just asked where is Xiao Qiao?"
Huandong said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao went to prepare lunch for the princess. Manager Bai said that at noon, all the female relatives would come to pay respects to the princess, so she had to eat early."
Lingfei said helplessly, meeting that group of women was the last thing she wanted to do. I wonder if the women in Menleng Mansion at this time are like what was said on TV, they all eat people without spitting out their bones...
…
Seeing that her face was slightly unhappy, Huandong said comfortingly: "Princess, don't worry, those women and slaves have already inquired for the princess. Concubine Murong's family has been in decline; Concubine Zhang is the daughter of a salt merchant. If you have money, you will have money."
, but has no status; although Concubine Su is the daughter of Prime Minister Su, she is only a concubine and cannot be compared with the princess. The other concubines and those who do not even have status are even less attractive to the princess."
Lingfei glanced at Huandong in surprise and said with a smile: "You little girl is quite good at collecting information. You've only been here for a day and you already know it so clearly."
Huandong lowered his head in embarrassment and said: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. I am worried about the princess."
Lingfei felt warm again in her heart. She didn't say much, she just smiled and secretly reached out and took away the small purple flower on the bedside.
Before lunch was over, Xiao Qiao poked his head in and said, "Princess, Concubine Su is here."
Lingfei raised his eyebrows, Su Yangming's daughter... She wiped her lips and said with a smile: "She knows the rules, she came so early."
Xiao Qiao lowered her voice and said: "She said there was something and she wanted to talk to the princess first."
"Oh?" Lingfei's eyes flashed. It was like the trees were still but the wind was still blowing. She smiled and said, "Okay, let her in."
Concubine Su's full name is Su Qingxiao. She is twenty years old this year. She has a very charming appearance and a pair of enchanting phoenix eyes that attract people's soul. Lingfei secretly cheered in his heart. If this woman was thrown into the fireworks building, she would definitely become the top one. Unfortunately, she fell into the third category.
Prince's Mansion...
When Su Qingxiao saw Lingfei, she stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings to the princess."
"Sister Su, get up." Lingfei sat calmly. He just raised his arms, looked at her sideways and asked, "Sister Su, you came very early. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Su Qingxiao pursed her lips and smiled for a moment, then said softly: "Qingxiao has been lonely since she was a child. Although she was born in the prime minister's house, her mother died young and she was just a concubine. She is used to being bullied, so I always greet her with greetings.
When I arrive, I come very early.”
Lingfei hummed, what a smart woman, did you come here to discuss an alliance because of her power?
Seeing that Lingfei was silent, Su Qingxiao continued: "Qingxiao has been married to the prince for three years, and has seen the prince's illness getting worse and worse. Everyone said that there is evil in the palace, and that is why he will never escape bad luck.
…”
"Evil? Is there any evil in the palace?" Lingfei asked pretending to be surprised.
"There are too many wronged souls in the palace. Even now at night, you can still hear the sounds of sobbing and wailing," Su Qingxiao said seriously.
Lingfei held back his laughter and asked, "Is there any? Why didn't I hear it?"
Su Qingxiao pretended to be mysterious and said: "The princess has just entered the palace and stayed in Nuansi Pavilion on her wedding night. Naturally, she can't hear it. If you go to the Moyuan area, then..."
"Where is Moyuan?"
"Moyuan is the residence of Murong's concubine. The whole palace knows that it is haunted." Su Qingxiao sighed and said, "The prince loves Murong's concubine. Qingxiao is not jealous at all. I also sympathize with Murong Yan, but that place is haunted."
I'm so angry, the prince is not in good health, I'm really worried."
Lingfei cleared his throat and said displeasedly: "Murong Yan, is the prince's favorite woman? She must have conquered the country and conquered the city?"
Su Qingxiao smiled faintly: "Beauty is beautiful, but it cannot be said to be the most beautiful thing in a country. Anyone who dares to show off his appearance in front of the princess is bringing humiliation to himself."
Lingfei then smiled: "You are very sweet-tongued, so tell me, why is Murong Yan's place so haunted?"
Su Qingxiao lowered her voice and said: "Murong's side concubine is the youngest daughter of General Murong Quan. She is well-behaved and is the most popular with men. This was not a problem at first. But later, Murong Quan collaborated with the enemy and rebelled against the country. He took thousands of elite soldiers with him and disappeared.
The emperor was furious and ordered the Murong clan to kill everyone. The prince knelt in the palace for two days and two nights, and finally saved her. However, he greatly offended the emperor and made life even more difficult."
Ling Fei was moved at this moment. He couldn't see how useless Situ Chen was, how he dared to plead for someone in that situation...
Su Qingxiao continued: "After that, Murong Yan got seriously ill, and she always complained about ghosts during her illness. Even now, she still says that ghosts and gods will appear when she closes her eyes. However, some people have indeed seen a black figure hovering over Mo Yuan.
As fast as lightning, definitely not human.”
Lingfei looked at her noncommittally, wondering to himself whether this was something a woman had done to win favor.
"Princess, the time has come" Huandong knocked on the door outside.
"Okay, come on." Lingfei glanced at Su Qingxiao and said, "I know what you said, let's go out."
"Yes." Su Qingxiao raised a smile and followed Lingfei into the main hall calmly.
When she first entered the main hall, Lingfei was really shocked. She had heard Huandong say that Situ Chen had three concubines, but she didn't expect so many women to come, at least twenty. She was extremely suspicious of a sickly one.
Your Majesty, can you handle so many women?
Her eyes passed over the three people. On the right was a woman in a green shirt, pure and beautiful like a fairy, with a pretty face with a touch of sadness, breathtakingly beautiful; in the middle was a woman in a white shirt, noble and elegant.
She is worldly and has an outstanding temperament. She is probably the eldest among all the women, already in her thirties. There is another woman diagonally to the side, whose appearance is not eye-catching. Lingfei noticed her because she was facing towards her.
Lingfei smiled behind him, obviously he had a good relationship with Su Qingxiao
"Greetings to the princess," all the women saluted together
"Get up," Lingfei said awkwardly, feeling very uncomfortable with his role.
The women introduced themselves one by one. Lingfei had neither the patience to listen nor the interest to remember. She only remembered three names. The girl in green was Murong Yan, and the woman in white was named Zhang Quan, who greeted Su Qingxiao.
That one is called Shaomei
As usual, the women served tea to Lingfei according to their age and status. Zhang Quan, Su Qingxiao and Murong Yan entered the house at the same time. However, Murong Yan was two months older than Su Qingxiao, so she was ranked second to Su Qingxiao.
Before
Murong Yan took the tray and walked up to Ling Fei. She didn't dare to raise her head and whispered: "Princess, please have some tea."
This figure is like a weak willow supporting the wind, and her voice is like a summer oriole's cry. No wonder Situ Chen would fight for her
Lingfei smiled faintly and reached out to take the tea.
Murong Yan's feet suddenly gave way, and she threw forward involuntarily, spilling a cup of scalding hot tea on Ling Fei's dress.
