Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 187 Choice
It has to be said that Su Lingxi was really afraid that Yuan Yuxuan would be annoyed and would make him angrily ask His Majesty for a marriage.

In fact, she knew in her heart that judging from the current situation, it was impossible for the queen mother to let her marry Fu Mingjue. If she did not marry for a long time, she might really obey the saying "If you don't marry, you can wait for the marriage".

Every time Su Lingxi thought of this, she felt restless. Looking at the portraits of the nobles in front of her, she felt extremely depressed. She threw all the portraits on the ground indiscriminately, her eyes filled with gloom.

The maid outside the door heard the movement, knocked on the door softly and said, "Girl, what happened?"

Su Lingxi took a deep breath and calmed down a little, "It's nothing."

There was no more movement outside the door.

The cold wind passed through the window lattice, blowing the pile of portraits on the ground rattling, Su Lingxi gradually calmed down, and scanned all the portraits one by one, his gaze finally fell on a young man in a blue gown.

Holding the portrait in her hand, she suddenly showed a meaningful smile when she saw the name of the family next to it.

"Son of General Xuanwei, Ji Shuyu." If she remembers correctly, Ji Shuyu seems to have a good relationship with Cai Fuya.

Thinking of the scene where she saw Ling Youyao and Cai Fuya in the palace yesterday, Su Lingxi's eyes sank, and a thought flashed through her mind——

Since you have to choose someone to marry sooner or later, why not choose someone who is useful?
Right now the queen mother is pressing hard, and Yuan Yuxuan is watching, even if she chooses Ji Shuyu to be fake, in order to stabilize the queen mother, she has to make the scene real.

Thinking of this, Su Lingxi couldn't help curling her lips, put away the portrait, and passed Xiaotang in.

"Changing clothes, I have to go to the palace."

Xiaotang agreed, took a light blue jacket and skirt for her to change into, and brought a portrait with her before entering the palace.

No one knew why Su Lingxi entered the palace this time, only that shortly after Su Lingxi left the palace, the Empress Dowager passed on General Xuanwei's wife to enter the palace to narrate.

It was the day when the snow stopped, and Ling Youyao asked Mu Xiaoxiao to meet at Qianzhen Pavilion, not for anything else, but to thank her for what happened last time.

Lu Sheng got the news early, and deliberately vacated the Qingfang Residence on the third floor, waiting for them to come.

When Ling Youyao came, Mu Xiaoxiao had been waiting here for a long time, and bowed to her, "Minnv has seen the princess."

"Ms. Mu, you don't need to be too polite." Ling Youyao stepped forward and gave her a little help, "I invited you to be our guest today, but I was late. I'm really sorry."

Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "After receiving Wang Hao's post, I started to prepare early, thinking that I would rather arrive early than late, so as not to lose my manners."

"Etiquette is not important, it is more practical to hold money in your hand."

Mu Xiaoxiao was amused by her words, and said: "My concubine's views are different from ordinary people."

Aristocratic girls from high families are always ashamed to talk about gold and silver money, but Ling Youyao doesn't shy away from talking about silver, which makes Mu Xiaoxiao have a new understanding of her.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, the two entered Qingfangju.

At the same time, there was a person sitting by the window in the teahouse opposite Qianzhen Pavilion. He watched Ling Youyao's figure disappear around the corner before looking away.

The door was pushed open, and a rough man wearing a mink fur jacket came in from the outside, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Princess Jing only brought two maidservants and one guard with her today, and the plain-clothed woman who met her today is exactly Mu Xiaoxiao from Huixian Tower."

Yuan Yuxuan smiled coldly, "No wonder my prince thinks that person looks familiar, it turned out to be a prostitute from Huixianlou"

What happened in Huixian Tower that day was full of doubts, but seeing Mu Xiaoxiao and Ling Youyao together again now makes people wonder.

"Your Highness, we will be leaving for Beidi in three days, do you want to?" the subordinate hesitated.

Although Fu Xiuyun removed the eyeliner monitoring Beidi on the surface, who can guarantee whether there are other hidden troubles in the capital where there are so many people's eyes?
But Yuan Yuxuan made up his mind and said: "After all, the plan has failed. If you don't ask for some interest and come back, how can the prince be willing to return to Beidi like this?"

The subordinate wanted to persuade again: "But Your Highness, the lord has explained it."

"Enough!" Yuan Yuxuan interrupted him in a cold voice, "Who is your master? Why should the prince obey his orders?!"

"Your Highness, calm down, this subordinate will do it now!" He didn't dare to say anything, and quickly got the order to leave the room.

There was a gloomy look on Yuan Yuxuan's eyebrows, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he waved his hand and smashed the tea set on the table to pieces, and whispered with a sneer: "This time, I want to see if Fu Mingjue can still be as good as before. so arrogant"

The sky outside the window was gloomy, and occasionally a few snowflakes fell, and the north wind rolled up the dead leaves piled up on the ground, fluttering all the way up.

Near the end of the new year, red lanterns were hung everywhere on the street, and the faces of passers-by were filled with smiles. At this time, a young man with the appearance of a scholar came from the other side of the long street angrily.

There was one person chasing behind him——it was Pei Ce.

"Brother Ji, wait for me!"

Ji Shuyu, who was walking in front, didn't seem to hear his call, and walked forward with his head buried, and even quickened his pace.

"Hey!" Pei Ce sighed helplessly, stepped forward to catch up, and grabbed his arm, "I said, this matter is not a foregone conclusion, can you calm down?"

Ji Shuyu turned his head to look at him, with a bit of anger on Qingjuan's face, he sneered and said, "It's not you who wants to marry Su Lingxi, so naturally you can calm down!"

Pei Ce was unhappy when he heard this, "If I was calm, would I chase you for two streets?"

When Ji Shuyu heard the words, he silently turned his head away.

Yesterday the queen mother suddenly called his mother into the palace. I thought it was a disaster for the Ji family, but who would have thought that it was the queen mother who wanted to betroth Su Lingxi to him? !

It's not a secret that the queen mother is helping Su Lingxi to see her recently, it's just that Ji Shuyu didn't expect such bad luck to happen to him.In the eyes of others, Su Lingxi is the concubine's daughter of Duke Yu's mansion, His Majesty's cousin, backed by the Empress Dowager, marrying Ji Shuyu can be regarded as the top of his Ji family.

But Ji Shuyu didn't think so.

"Ah Ce," he called Pei Ce deeply, his eyes dimmed, "I thought it was my greatest regret not to be able to marry her in this life, but I never thought that I would marry someone else before she got married."

Seeing him like this, Pei Ce also had a look of sadness in his eyes, he patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said: "Now the Empress Dowager just communicated with Madam Ji, she didn't make an order, there is still room for maneuver. , don't worry too much."

But Ji Shuyu shook his head and said, "But according to my mother, the queen mother seems to have planned to give her a marriage."

He and Su Lingxi have never met before, and he only saw him from a distance before, knowing that there is such a famous person in the capital, but to marry her is simply absurd.
