Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 135: What a joke!Two carriages drove side by side into the majestic and majestic palace gate, and the wheels rolled over the solid ground of the palace, making a burst of grunt.

Sitting in the carriage, Ling Ruoyao raised a corner of the curtain of the carriage with her hand, and cast her gaze out. She never thought that as soon as she lifted the curtain to look out, she saw Huangfu Xuan in the carriage next to her, and she also lifted the curtain to look at her. side.

Feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, she raised the corners of her mouth and gave Huangfu Xuan a faint smile, thinking about whether she should say something to ease the embarrassment at this time.

After pondering for a moment, she asked aloud: "I don't know what the Second Prince said about entering the palace?"

Leaning lazily on the edge of the window, Huangfuxuan raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "It's nothing, just enter the palace to greet father and emperor."

For a while, Ling Ruoyao was a little speechless again, not knowing how to continue this topic, so she kept laughing, a little stiffly and stupidly.

Forget it, let's not look outside anymore.

Thinking secretly, she put down the curtains of the car and looked away, but she never thought that before she put down the curtains completely, Huangfuxuan's deep voice came.

"Since the last time I saw the fourth concubine while hunting in the paddock, I didn't expect to see the fourth concubine after so many days." Huangfu Xuan said in a low voice, with a light and casual smile on his handsome face.

Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't understand the meaning of his words, she was a little puzzled, but she kept a calm expression on her face, and said with a smile: "It seems so. I saw you today, the second prince is still very handsome Woolen cloth."

There was a moment of daze, Huangfuxuan raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a deep smile on his lips, and the gaze he looked at her became more and more complicated, making it difficult to understand what was going on in his heart.

"The fourth concubine has won the award." Huangfuxuan said casually with a slight nod of his head, "I don't know why the fourth concubine didn't enter the palace with the fourth concubine?"

As soon as he heard Huangfu Yi mentioned, Ling Ruoyao unconsciously showed a trace of anger on his calm face, and his face became gloomy.

But immediately she came back to her senses, put away the messy thoughts in her heart, and put on a slight smile on her fair and pretty face: "My lord has something to do, so I didn't bother him."

"Really?" Frowning, Huangfuxuan said in a low voice, "The fourth son seems to be very busy recently? He didn't even accompany the fourth concubine into the palace."

The smile on her face stiffened a little, Ling Ruoyao wished she could rush up to him, grabbed his collar, and yelled at him: "How does my mother know if that perverted man with broken sleeves is busy recently? I wish I would never hear about him again." thing!"

It's a pity that she didn't do that, and she didn't dare to do it.After all, she is currently the fourth princess, and the man in front of her is still her elder brother.

The smile on her lips was generous and natural, without any pretense, Ling Ruoyao chuckled lightly, and said, "Second prince really knows how to joke, I'm a woman, how can I know the careers of men?"

Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Huangfuxuan also gave up the idea of ​​asking for news from her mouth, raised his eyebrows and said: "This king thought that the fourth son would tell the fourth princess."

Ling Ruoyao still had an elegant and generous smile on her face, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart.

The man with the broken sleeves Huangfu Yi didn't tell her what he was busy with.And she didn't want to know at all.If the second prince wants to get news from her, then this method really won't work.

Without answering him, Ling Ruoyao just raised her lips and smiled.

The carriage was slowly driving towards the palace. Along the way, the two occasionally chatted a few words, but they didn't seem deserted and embarrassed.

After the carriage stopped, Ling Ruoyao got out of the carriage with Caizhi's support.At the same time, Huangfu Xuan also got off the carriage.

After stroking the hem of his shirt, Huangfuxuan walked in front of Ling Ruoyao with graceful steps.On Junyi's face, there is always a gentle expression, and the eyes looking at her are also extraordinarily calm.

"I don't know for a while, but will you be lucky enough to leave the palace with the fourth concubine?"

Dazed for a moment, Ling Ruoyao raised her red lips, looked at him apologetically and said, "Thank you, Second Prince, for the invitation, but I guess I will stay with Concubine Zhen for a while longer."

Her main purpose of entering the palace was to find Mo Yingyu and pay respects to Concubine Zhen, it was just a cover.If Huangfu Xuan wanted to wait for her to leave the palace together, how could she have so much time to find Mo Yingyu?

Seeing that she was unwilling, Huangfu Xuan didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and after exchanging a few simple greetings with her, he bypassed her and left straight away.

After Huangfuxuan left, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and there was a helpless expression on her beautiful and refined face.

"Miss, why did the Second Prince enter the palace at this hour?" Caizhi, who had been silent all this time, came to Ling Ruoyao after seeing Huangfuxuan walking away, and whispered.

Her eyes still stayed on the tall and straight figure who was going further and further away, Ling Ruoyao frowned her delicate brows, and asked inexplicably: "Is there anything strange? Didn't he say that he is entering the palace to pay his respects to the emperor."

Caizhi also frowned, with a pensive and puzzled look on her pretty face: "If you are paying respects to the emperor, why not pay the emperor's greetings directly after the morning court? You have to wait until the morning court and come to the palace again."

Hearing Caizhi's words, Ling Ruoyao also became a little puzzled, and the eyes that looked at the figure that gradually disappeared around the corner became darker.

She is from Fuchu.When they were leaving, they happened to meet Huangfu Yi who was coming back from the outside, at that time, he should have come back from the early morning.

Thinking about it carefully, it was not long after the morning court, why did Huangfuxuan suddenly enter the palace again?

But then I thought again, who stipulated that after the morning court, you can't enter the palace?In case he remembered, what else did he not tell the emperor?

Thinking of this, she put away the doubts in her heart, and said casually: "Okay, let's hurry up and pay your respects to Concubine Zhen, and don't bother thinking about other people's affairs."

Why Huangfuxuan entered the palace at this time has nothing to do with her, why should she bother to think about it?

So, with the support of Caizhi, she walked towards Concubine Zhen's palace step by step.

All the way to Concubine Zhen's palace, she hadn't approached the gate of the palace when she heard a noise coming from the yard, listening carefully, it seemed to be cursing.

Ling Ruoyao couldn't help slowing down, and finally stopped, standing outside the palace, silently listening to the movement inside.

There was only a loud scolding sound coming from the courtyard, and it seemed that it was accompanied by a soft but unignorable cry.

"You damn girl, why are you so ignorant of the rules? When I asked you to pour tea, you spilled the tea on Yubi's body! The most abominable thing is that you don't even know anyone, you damn girl? Girl, it's time to change your name to Empress Yubin!"

This is the second time for Ling Ruoyao to enter the palace. As for the people or things in the palace, she only heard about them occasionally.

However, from the cursing, she heard a little message.

This Mo Yingyu, no, it's time to call her Concubine Yu, and she is in Concubine Zhen's yard right now.

Although it saves her time to go find Mo Yingyu, she can't talk to Mo Yingyu about business in Concubine Zhen's yard. It seems that she has to find a suitable time.

After standing outside the palace for a while, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, raised the corners of her lips, and walked towards the palace with a generous smile.

As soon as she entered the gate of the palace, she saw a court lady kneeling on the ground, and beside the stone table, there were three glamorous women with bright and gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup.

Taking a closer look, she found that apart from Concubine Zhen, she didn't know the other two women.But she knew that one of them must be Mo Yingyu.

Go to drive Weijin.As she walked in, she looked at the two women, and found that one of them was a little older, and was about the same age as Concubine Zhen, while the other looked much younger and more beautiful.

Come to think of it, this young woman must be Mo Yingyu.

I just don't know who the other woman is.

And the other woman she didn't know was Concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling originally came to talk to Concubine Zhen to pass the time, but she never thought that not long after she arrived, Mo Yingyu also came to Concubine Zhen's palace, euphemistically calling it to pay her respects to Concubine Zhen.

It wasn't a big deal at all, but Concubine Ling felt a little displeased.

It is also a concubine, why did this jade concubine only go to Concubine Zhen's palace to pay her respects, but not to her palace to pay her respects?

This person, once he is dissatisfied, he will start to think of many things.So, Concubine Ling thought, this Mo Yingyu is just a sparrow that flies up a branch and turns into a phoenix.

She was originally just a commoner, but it was only because she looked like the deceased concubine Shu that the emperor broke the rules and made her a concubine, and she became quite proud.

So, he took advantage of the maid for doing something wrong, and mocked Mo Yingyu by accusing Sanghuai.

"You damn girl, why are you crying? Do you think that this palace scolded you wrongly?" Seeing the maid sobbing softly, Concubine Ling became even more displeased, and her voice became a little bit colder.

The palace maid was taken aback, she quickly stopped crying, and said cautiously: "Your servant...you dare not."

"Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare!" With a cold snort, Concubine Ling gave the maid a vicious look, then turned her head to look at Mo Yingyu, and said with a fake smile, "It's all my fault for my lack of discipline. I also hope that Yubi will not take it to heart."

Mo Yingyu smiled very generously, and said without any hesitation: "The concubine Ling is overwhelmed. No one is perfect, who doesn't make mistakes? Since the concubine Ling has taught her a lesson, let's just let it go. "

Concubine Ling couldn't hold back her face anymore, and her smile seemed a little stiff, but her heart became more and more dissatisfied.Turning his head, he glared fiercely at the palace lady, and scolded in a low voice: "Quickly back down."

The hands hidden in the wide sleeves clenched into fists unconsciously, Lingfei couldn't help complaining in her heart, what Yubi said was accusing her of being unreasonable and unforgiving, has she learned the lesson?

When she disciplines her servants, how can she get others to point fingers?

But they were only focused on reprimanding the maid who made a mistake, the three people in front of the stone table did not notice Ling Ruoyao's appearance, but the little maid standing next to Concubine Zhen saw her first.

Bowing her head to Concubine Zhen's ear, the little palace maid whispered, "Your Majesty, the fourth concubine is here."

Although Ling Ruoyao had only been to Concubine Zhen's palace once, she was lucky enough to be remembered by everyone, who recognized her as the fourth concubine at a glance.

After hearing what the little maid said, Concubine Zhen raised her head to look at Ling Ruoyao who was gradually walking in.Although there were traces of the years, a smile appeared on his face that was still undiminished.

Waving at Ling Ruoyao, Concubine Zhen said with a smile: "I thought I was mistaken, take a closer look, isn't this the fourth princess? Come here and let me have a look."

Ling Ruoyao was a little flattered, and felt ashamed like a little girl, two touches of blush subconsciously appeared on her fair face.

Quickly coming to the front of several people, she bowed her body and bowed gracefully: "My daughter-in-law greets my mother and concubine." Then, she saluted Mo Yingyu and Lingfei again, "To you two My lady, please greet me."

"Okay, there's no need to be so polite." With a smile on her face all the time, Concubine Zhen stretched out her hand to take Ling Ruoyao's right hand, and looked at her well, "The last time I saw you was a few months ago. For a few months, the fourth concubine didn't even pay my respects to this palace, so she really deserves to be beaten!"

Although Concubine Zhen didn't mean to blame at all, but hearing it in Ling Ruoyao's ears still made her a little embarrassed.

"I also ask my concubine to punish me." As she said that, she made a gesture and wanted to bow her body to salute, but was stopped by concubine Zhen all of a sudden.

"Bengong was joking with you, do you take it seriously?" Concubine Zhen complained while looking at her feigning displeasure, "We are all a family, so why be so cautious, come, sit down and talk."

After speaking, she pulled Ling Ruoyao and let her sit beside her.

The appearance of Ling Ruoyao also attracted the attention of Concubine Ling and Mo Yingyu. They both sized her up at the same time, but diverted their attention away from the court lady who committed the crime.

"Is this the fourth concubine?" Concubine Ling still looked at her and asked aloud, with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

She only heard that the second young lady of the prime minister's mansion is a silly young lady. She never thought that she would be married to the fourth child by the emperor. It is unique for a silly young lady to be matched with a prince with broken sleeves.

It's just that she doesn't know much about the four princesses, but from the woman's words and deeds just now, she can't see the appearance of a silly lady, but she seems very generous and decent.

"The concubine is right." Ling Ruoyao said calmly with a slight nod.

She didn't know the beauty in front of her eyes.Who is the woman, it is better not to call it casually.

But Mo Yingyu didn't say a word, her calm and clear gaze stayed on Ling Ruoyao all the time, as if she wanted to see through her.

Sensing her scrutiny, Ling Ruoyao raised her head and looked at her as well.The four gazes met unexpectedly in the air.

Ling Ruoyao also took a look at Mo Yingyu, and felt that this woman was very quiet and elegant, and her appearance was also very beautiful and dignified. No wonder the emperor would take a fancy to her.

However, she seems to have heard that this Mo Yingyu looks quite similar to the deceased concubine Shu.From this point of view, this concubine Shu was also a beautiful woman like a flower and a jade before she was alive.

Just as she was secretly looking at Mo Yingyu, the concubine Zhen who was beside her suddenly said, "This is the second time for the fourth concubine to enter the palace, right? She must not be familiar with the people in the palace."

After speaking, she pointed to Mo Yingyu who was sitting opposite and said, "This is the jade concubine whom the emperor has just conferred."

Even though he knew her identity, Ling Ruoyao still got up and bowed to her: "Ruoyao has met Empress Yubi."

"The fourth princess is being polite." Mo Yingyu nodded with a smile and said softly.

After the two got to know each other for a while, Concubine Zhen pointed to Concubine Ling and said, "This is Concubine Ling, the biological mother of the Third Prince."

The third prince?Huang Fuxi?

Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Huangfuxi, a stingy man, wanted to get revenge on her, but he did her a lot of harm.The old injury on the leg was not healed and a new injury was added, it was thanks to Huangfuxi.

But she is not a person who holds grudges. It has been a while since the incident, and during this time, she has not seen Huangfuxi, nor suffered from his troubles.

As a result, she also forgot the grievances between the two.

Also bowed to salute, Ling Ruoyao said in a low voice: "Ruoyao pays respects to the concubine Ling."

"Fourth princess, please get up quickly." Reaching out to support Ling Ruoyao, Concubine Ling said with a smile, her eyes softened when she looked at her.

Although this was the first time she saw the fourth princess and she didn't know her well, judging from her speech, behavior, expression and attitude, the fourth princess was actually a pretty good woman.

After everyone got to know each other, Concubine Zhen looked at Ling Ruoyao again, and asked aloud: "I don't know why the fourth princess came to this palace this time?".

She had already thought about this set of rhetoric.Ling Ruoyao raised her lips and said with a smile: "I heard from the prince a while ago that my mother-in-law was very worried about my daughter-in-law's leg injury, and asked my daughter-in-law to go into the palace to show her when she recovered. My daughter-in-law has always kept it in mind, no, Once the injury is healed, hurry up and pay your respects to the concubine mother."

After listening to her, Concubine Zhen looked down at her legs, with a look of concern in her eyes: "Why are you so careless? Hunting with you, you didn't catch the prey, but you hurt yourself .”

Concubine Zhen's words made Ling Ruoyao speechless, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but there was always a calm expression on her face, and she even put on a look of embarrassment and shame.

"It made the concubine mother and the two empresses laugh."

And as for why she suffered such a serious injury, I can't blame that stingy man Huangfuxi.

If he hadn't insisted on making her dance for fun, would she have sprained her foot again, adding to the injury?

Although there was the disharmonious episode of the little court lady who committed the crime just now, the arrival of Ling Ruoyao calmed down Concubine Ling, and she no longer complained about Mo Yingyu in her heart.

So, the four of them chatted casually, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After chatting for a while, Concubine Zhen turned her head to look at Ling Ruoyao, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't the fourth prince come into the palace with you to see me?"

Ling Ruoyao, who was originally laughing happily because of the joke that Concubine Ling said just now, was taken aback by Concubine Zhen's sudden questioning, and her smile froze instantly at the corner of her mouth.

Why did Concubine Zhen also ask this question?When entering the palace just now, Huangfuxuan also asked her this question.

Why did she have to go with that perverted man with broken sleeves, Huangfu Yi, when she entered the palace?Couldn't she enter the palace alone?

Although she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she always had a calm and respectful expression on her face, Ling Ruoyao smiled apologetically and said: "When I left the mansion, the prince originally wanted to enter the palace with his ministers and daughters-in-law to greet the concubine mother, but because The prince is so troubled by trivial matters that he really can't leave, so he can only let the courtier's daughter-in-law enter the palace alone. The prince even asked the courtier's daughter-in-law to greet the concubine mother on her behalf."

God knows how disgusting she was when she said this.

If it wasn't for perfunctory Concubine Zhen, she wouldn't want to mention the person who made her resentful.In order to dispel Concubine Zhen's doubts, she even wanted to speak well of Huangfu Yi, the man with broken sleeves.

Ling Ruoyao suddenly wanted to cry up to the sky, how kind she must be!To actually say good things for Huangfu Yi!Was she stimulated?

Cursing herself continuously in her heart, Ling Ruoyao didn't pay much attention to what the three of them were talking about, until Concubine Zhen called her several times in a row, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

Quickly withdrawing her wandering thoughts, she raised the corners of her mouth, smiled apologetically, and said with a sneer: "Is there something wrong with the concubine mother?"

Concubine Zhen glared at her pretending to be dissatisfied, and said angrily, "Look, you girl, why are you so inattentive? You're distracted when you speak!"

Knowing that she lost her composure, Ling Ruoyao hurriedly apologized: "The concubine mother scolded me, the daughter-in-law knew she was wrong."

"I don't mean to blame you, but seeing that you are absent-minded, is there something on your mind?" Concubine Zhen took her right hand and asked in a low voice, with a hint of concern in her tone.

Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, and a tinge of warmth subconsciously flowed through her heart. She suddenly wanted to express all the troubles in her heart that made her depressed, but in the end she restrained herself.

Not everyone can be regarded as a confidant.

Quickly shaking her head, Ling Ruoyao said with some embarrassment: "My daughter-in-law is not worried, thank you for your concern."

"It's good to have nothing on your mind." Concubine Zhen patted the back of her hand, and said earnestly, "However, sometimes it's time to think about something. You can't just ignore everything."

Apparently, Ling Ruoyao didn't understand what she meant, and thought to herself, could it be that she missed something when she was distracted just now?

Blinking her clear eyes, she looked at Concubine Zhen with a puzzled face, hesitating whether to ask aloud, but she was afraid that her question would be too abrupt and make Concubine Zhen unhappy.

And just when she was puzzled, Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Look, these four concubines are getting shy."

Ling Ruoyao became more bewildered, and the incomprehension in her clear eyes became more and more intense.

Where is she shy?She was clearly puzzled and dazed.

"We're all women, so what's there to be shy about?" Concubine Ling continued, with a teasing tone, "Fourth Princess, when do you plan to have a baby for the Fourth Prince?"

Undoubtedly, Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment by what Concubine Ling said, and an indescribable complex feeling surged in her heart.

baby?

What a joke!
