Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

You Feng followed suit, "Your Majesty is indeed merciless this time, mainly because of the Duke of Ningguo... Ning Xiuyuan is a bit unconscionable in handling this matter."

"No!" You Lingxi hastily defended, she couldn't hear others say something bad about Ning Xiuyuan, but after denying it, she really couldn't think of how to defend the other party, "He...he just..."

just what?Just bewitched by that woman?
But he really, really ruined his marriage and the rest of his life!You Lingxi stirred the handkerchief in her hand, slowly lowered her head and bit her lip, speechless.

The eldest princess couldn't bear to see her daughter in such a distraught state, she raised her chin silently to You Feng, and towards the door, You Feng glanced at You Lingxi, sighed softly, and remained silent went out.

Some words, as a father, he is not suitable to persuade.

After You Feng left, the eldest princess stood up and poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to You Lingxi, who held the cup in her hand, still sitting upright, looked over with slightly lowered eyebrows, her gaze did not fall on the other's face, but only on the other side's face. On the hand on the opponent's knee that was twisting the handkerchief, he asked softly, "The past two days... have you calmed down?"

"Yeah." You Lingxi nodded, the knuckles on her knees were turning white, and the handkerchief was twisted and ravaged so badly.

"Your father is upright, he only has righteousness, family and country in his heart, and other than that, he only has clan... The reason why he persuaded you like that was out of responsibility and clan. You have to understand him, even though I don't want you to marry me if the imperial decree grants marriage , I will try my best in the next few days... But Lingxi, these methods do not include, resisting the decree. Do you understand?"

Resisting the decree is a serious crime for exterminating the nine clans, and the entire You family will be overthrown.You Lingxi had heard this point countless times after the marriage decree was delivered.

It was as if the You family was full of honor and disgrace, and suddenly it was so heavy on a girl's family like hers.

It's really ridiculous... Just now, it's better to stay with each other for a lifetime than the mother who married into the Chen family, isn't she also moving out of family righteousness now?
She drooped her brows and eyes slightly, and replied in a low voice, "Well... my daughter knows."

The eldest princess flipped the lid of the teacup, and responded slowly, "It's good to know... You have been a sensible child since you were a child. You don't need me to explain many truths, you know it yourself. It's just... Consonance, Since you know these great truths, why bother to seek skins from tigers?"

After finishing speaking, You Lingxi looked up subconsciously, and suddenly met the eyes of the eldest princess, which were calm and gentle, but also direct and sharp.

It was the eyes of a princess of a country.

"I..." You Lingxi opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, she just murmured, "Mother...I..."

The eldest princess withdrew her gaze, put the teacup in her hand on the coffee table beside her, and then leaned on the back of the chair and looked over slowly, her expression was calm and gentle, "Lady in the inner house, even if you have a disagreement with each other or use some tricks to start a small dispute, you can still say yes Small fights between children. But you should never, never drag your father into the camp of Zuo Xiang... You should know that His Majesty is most afraid of Zuo Xiang. .”

You Lingxi was completely dumbfounded, "You..." How did you know?
"I want to ask how I know?" The eldest princess naturally understood what You Lingxi hadn't said, and she sighed slowly, "When can any secret be hidden in Yanjing City? Lingxi, you should understand, if If people don't know, unless they do nothing... I can know, and His Majesty will naturally know, do you think that under such circumstances, is there any chance for your marriage to turn around?"

Even at this time, there was no trace of reproach in the words of the eldest princess, and it sounded like she was analyzing You Lingxi clearly, without any emotion.

But also because of this, somewhat alienated and indifferent.

This kind of indifference seems to come from the result of weighing the pros and cons without emotion. You Lingxi tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and tugged at the corner of her mouth. , "Yes... my daughter is impulsive."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied, and said after a while, "You are the princess, and you have the blood of the royal family in your body, so you are extremely noble. Stay away from those little girls who are not on the stage. Those who are influenced by them... have a petty taste in every move."

When she said these words, her back was straight from the beginning to the end, but her neck was not even bent at all, but her jaw was slightly lowered, elegant, and seemed to be kind.

This is her attitude all the time.

After finishing speaking, he continued, "Speaking of which, didn't I tell you to stay away from that girl from the Ye family before, but you said that you are good friends, close friends in the boudoir, and rare people who can talk... As a result, You have also seen that when people framed you, they didn't give up in the slightest."

You Lingxi watched and smiled wryly.

Her mother, His Royal Highness Dong Yao's eldest princess, never let go of the pride in her bones, and carried it like a burden on herself and on others all the time.You Lingxi bit the corner of her mouth and called out, "Mother..."

"Ok?"

"For mother... Am I the daughter of the You family... or the princess of Dongyao?" You Lingxi asked, her eyes sparkling slightly as she looked over.

Twilight came slowly, the heavy rain was pouring on the ground, and in the cool breeze, You Lingxi could even hear the beating of his own heart, which was directly transmitted from the bones, blood, and limbs to the brain.

She looked at her mother, looked at the rare astonished expression of the eldest princess, looked at her, then smiled gently, and replied softly, "You are not only the daughter of the You family, but also the princess of Dongyao. What stupid question did you ask, silly boy?"

The last ray of light in the eyes, finally welling up in the twilight, gradually extinguished.

It turns out... this is just a silly question after all.

"That's right. It's raining heavily. After staying in the house for a few days, I'm so tired that I can't cheer up. Didn't I just ask a stupid question... The mother reminded me today, and the daughter knows it. I will also keep it in mind.”

"En. That's a sensible girl." The eldest princess reached out and touched her head, her smile became more gentle and friendly, "You don't want to target that luthier in Fengchenju... Demeaning yourself, the loss outweighs the gain. "

You Lingxi was slightly taken aback, relieved both unexpectedly and somewhat as expected, self-deprecating, and the loss outweighing the gain—this is the summary statement of her mother for all her unwillingness and many schemes.
