Counterattack on the palace: the daughter is very happy

Chapter 39
If you want to survive in the palace, you need a backer. The biggest backer in the palace is Xia Lingfeng, who is not the choice between the two, and he is the only one who can treat her sincerely. After all, he is her father, and he loves her dearly. Mother, I'm afraid that none of the others is not on the defensive and plotting against others.

If you want to get back the inheritance and get a foothold, then getting Xia Lingfeng is the first step. Don't ask him to be partial to him, at least he will be fair when things happen, and occasionally sympathize with her lonely situation of losing her mother when she was young, and take special care of her. OK.

"Did your concubine ask you to clean it?" Xia Lingfeng quickly asked again. Although he was no longer angry, he still had impatience and disgust that couldn't be hidden.

"No, I came here secretly." Xia Yunran's voice was still very soft, as if confessing, "I did too many things that were disrespectful to my mother before, and now I think about it. I regret it. But what I said is like I can't take back the water that was spilled, and the only thing I can do is to come here and clean it up, hoping to be forgiven and to make myself feel at ease."

Xia Lingfeng turned his head suddenly, looked at Xia Yunran with such surprised eyes, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak.

"Experiencing life and death suddenly made me understand a lot of things, and understand the preciousness of life. This preciousness was bestowed on me by my mother. I have no way to repay the gift of childbirth." Xia Yunran continued, keeping her voice soft. Deep down, "I don't even, I don't even know what my mother looks like..."

Having said that, Xia Yunran paused for a moment, keeping the air in a faint sadness, and glanced at Xia Lingfeng's expression quietly. His face was a little bright and dark in the candlelight, but his gaze was only fixed on the ground, apparently also lost in reminiscence.

"Mother concubine is good to me now, but there is something missing." Xia Yunran continued her affectionate, lowered her eyes to look at the jewelry box in her hand, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, "Maybe here, To feel something like that.”

After a period of silence, Xia Yunran felt that his expression was still very good. First of all, he expressed his repentance, and then expressed his longing. Finally, he lightly stated that no matter how good the stepmother is, she has no biological mother. reason.

"Yunran, it would be great if you could understand earlier." Xia Lingfeng seemed to heave a long sigh.

"Actually, I am very grateful for this experience of life and death and losing my mind. The ancients said that it is reasonable to depend on blessings and misfortunes." Xia Yunran said, with a bit of sentimentality in his tone, "It has been smooth, maybe I will always be my Miss Unruly, but through these experiences, I know how stupid I am, and I also know that there are many valuable things that I should pay attention to, but I have neglected them."

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other..." Xia Lingfeng repeated the words, paused for a moment before saying, "Yun Ran, you have suffered a lot these days."

Hearing these words, Xuan Yunran let out a long sigh of relief. At least Xia Lingfeng's attitude towards her had softened, and his opinion of her should have changed slightly.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and then you need to accumulate your new look bit by bit.

"It's not bitter, I think this is the punishment I deserve." Xia Yunran said this very clearly and firmly, "These experiences make me feel like I have been reborn. Father, I will not Don't do anything to disappoint you."

Xia Lingfeng was a little surprised, and said for a while: "Okay, I'll watch."

"One more thing." Xia Yunran said again, very solemnly, "About the marriage of the third prince."

"I can't decide this matter, the third prince clearly stated that he has to choose by himself." Xia Lingfeng frowned immediately when he heard this, thinking that Xia Yunran was entangled and wanted to marry the third prince.

"No, I want to tell my father that I don't want to marry the third prince." Xia Yunran said bluntly. She knew that Xia Lingfeng's ideal candidate was Xia Hanxiang. He should be happy and relaxed when she said that, "I Everyone knows the joke, how can the third prince marry a laughing stock?"

"You are the eldest lady of Prince Jing's mansion, who would dare to laugh at you?" Xia Lingfeng said immediately.

Xia Yunran was relieved by his words, at least Xia Lingfeng said that she was from the palace, instead of looking at the wild child picked up by the roadside before, which proved that her efforts just now were still effective.

"Youyou's mouth can't be stopped." Xia Yunran said very rationally, "Father, since I am a laughing stock, I am not as talented as the second and third younger sisters. They are the best candidates. I don't want to argue. What are you grabbing, I only hope that the younger sisters can win the favor of the third prince."

"Yunran, you've really changed a lot." Xia Lingfeng said earnestly, "You've become sensible and grown up."

Look, not only did he follow his wishes, but he also established a good image of being self-aware, tolerant, tolerant, not fighting for courtesy, and not causing trouble to the family. It is very fulfilling to do things that kill two birds with one stone.

"It's because Yunran was too ignorant before." Xia Yunran lowered his head, concealing his pride in the successful operation of the plan, "It would be great if my father could forgive me."

"You are my daughter after all, and there is no overnight hatred between father and son." Xia Lingfeng said, walked over, and patted Xia Yunran's shoulder lightly, "It's fine to come to Zilan Courtyard if you have nothing to do, your mother is still there in the study You can take a look at the calligraphy, painting and piano scores left behind."

"Yes." Xia Yunran nodded and sighed again, "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see my mother's face, and I only have a vague look in my heart."

"She is a kind and beautiful woman, there is no one better than her." Xia Lingfeng said softly, looking at Xia Yunran's face, "Your eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are [-]% similar to hers, but her cheeks are more beautiful than hers. A little thinner and fairer skin."

So this girl still looks like her mother?Then it would be easier to win Xia Lingfeng's help and protection?

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest first." Xia Lingfeng said again, "By the way, the third prince will hold a banquet at Penglaiju in the future, and your name will also be on the invitation."

"But I don't want to..." Xia Yunran's heart skipped a beat, why did she ask her to go?Didn't she leave the scene that day without doing anything?
"The third prince's invitation, no one can refuse." Xia Lingfeng said slowly, "He has made great achievements and returned home triumphantly. Even though there are some small flaws, it will not affect his status in the emperor's heart. If he was just an inconspicuous prince before, Now he is already a prince with the title of military wizard."

"Yes, Yunran knows, Yunran will make good preparations." Xia Yunran could only answer, after thinking about it, but couldn't help asking, "What is the little flaw of the third prince?"

"He... killed the prisoners of war. Just the night before returning to Beijing, he killed Tong Mulin and 3000 of his subordinates."

These words made Xia Yunran's heart sink to the bottom of the valley. If it was said that she had only speculated on the meeting at Baihua Pavilion, then Xia Lingfeng's words just now had completely confirmed her conjecture.

Sure enough, is this the enemy's narrow road?
