I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 164 Compromise
When Murong Li was frowning because of Qu Lingxu's endless words, Qu Fengyan, who thought that this strategy would definitely succeed, was in a good mood. Not long after Qu Lingxu arrived at Peony Terrace, she Accompanying Concubine Xu, meandering here.

Concubine Xu Gui is a beautiful woman who is as gorgeous as peaches and plums. She is extremely charming and gentle, but she also has the cheerfulness and boldness unique to Jianghu women. These two completely different auras are integrated into one body, and the unique charm she exudes is unique to any other concubine in the palace. There has never been a slight difference, so over the years, Yingying and Yanyan around the emperor have changed one after another, but Xu Guifei's position has always been as stable as Mount Tai.

People in the palace have always worshiped the high and trampled on the low. Although Concubine Xu had been silent for a long time, now Murong Li has been conferred by the emperor as the Great General of Zhengyuan. When they got closer, the noble ladies who had gathered together in twos and threes stopped joking and respectfully came forward to pay their respects.

Concubine Xu Guifei was in a very good mood, with a friendly smile on her beautifully groomed face, she turned her eyes to Qu Lingxu who was standing in the back row with a soft voice, and said with a light smile : "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xinyue is more and more charming, but why don't you come to my palace with Yan'er?"

Concubine Xu's kind words made those noble ladies who were already jealous of Qu Lingxu talking and laughing with the prince even more jealous, they couldn't help casting cold gazes, and some even muttered in a low voice A word of flirtatiousness, but to be able to make such a move, it is naturally some brainless, and anyone who is a little bit smarter understands that Xu Guifei and Qu Lingxu are already on the opposite sides of irreconcilable contradictions, and it is absolutely impossible to smile away Revenge that day.

Qu Lingxu's eyes flickered slightly, and he took in the different mental states of the people around him, but he smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "Thanks to the concubine's concern, I am very grateful, but my wife has a lot of affairs, and I can't get through Chuan, I really dare not rush to disturb you."

Qu Lingxu said it kindly, but the meaning in the words could not be clearer, since you didn't intend to summon me at all, why are you pretending to be polite here?

Concubine Xu Guifei was not stupid, so she naturally understood the irony in Qu Lingxu's words, a trace of cold disgust flashed in her delicately drawn eyebrows, but it was only for a moment, and then she came forward to hold Qu Lingxu with a smile Holding his hand, he said affectionately: "In my heart, you and Yan'er are the same. A family should come and go often, why bother to stick to etiquette?"

Hearing Concubine Xu's words, Qu Fengyan also echoed: "Yes, my aunt misses my sister very much, and just asked me a lot about your situation."

"My daughter, thank you for your concern." Qu Lingxu took a step back calmly, and bowed again.

Many wives and noble ladies were present. Even if Concubine Xu Guifei wanted to make an enemy for Qu Lingxu, she would not spend too much time on her. Serving, sat down at the top seat, and beckoned cordially to Cui Yalin, the daughter of the Minister of Industry, who was also in the crowd.

Cui Yalin didn't seem to believe that she would get Concubine Xu's attention, she was stunned for a while, until her mother gently pulled her sleeves, then walked forward in surprise and joy, and said: "My daughter, Cui Yalin, Greetings to the imperial concubine."

Cui Yalin is the younger sister of Cui Hao, the son of Minister of the Ministry of Industry mentioned earlier. Her temperament is very similar to that of her elder brother. She is kind-hearted and timid. Such a woman is undoubtedly the easiest to deal with. If she becomes Princess Ling In the future, he will definitely obey Xu Guifei's mother and son. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry has always loved this only precious daughter, so he will naturally do his best to help Murongli ascend to the throne.

Xu Guifei deliberated for a long time before she chose Cui Yalin among many noble ladies. She was naturally very close and easy-going. After taking her hand and looking at it carefully, she praised with a smile: "Slender, gentle and graceful, Mrs. Shangshu is really serious. Raise a good daughter."

The wife of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is Prince Mu's daughter Qinghe Junjun, that is, the emperor's own cousin. Although this Qinghe Jun is a concubine, she has been loved by Prince Mu since she was a child, and even the late emperor loved her when she was alive. Youjia personally pointed out that she was married to the high-profile talented champion of that session, who is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which shows that the status is different.

Seeing Concubine Xu blatantly praised her daughter, Mrs. Shangshu understood, she was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to salute, and said humbly: "The imperial concubine's praise is absurd, the little girl is rough, compared with Princess Qingyu, she is really different. Far."

"Madam is really too modest. If you still think such a good daughter is rude, then I will ask you to be my daughter-in-law." Concubine Xu Gui looked at Mrs. Shangshu with a smile, and said meaningfully.

Concubine Xu's words to this point in front of everyone is tantamount to confirming the position of Princess Cui Yalinling. Murong Li is now valued by the emperor, and her status is comparable to that of the prince. Therefore, for such an arrangement, Mrs. Shang Shu is undoubtedly Satisfied, I saw that her beautiful red phoenix eyes were full of joy, but in the end she was still a little bit self-confident, and said with a smile: "To be valued by the empress is really a blessing that the little girl cultivated in her previous life."

Seeing Concubine Xu and Cui Yalin chatting and laughing, Qu Fengyan, who was by the side, clenched his hands tightly, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

This Cui Yalin is ordinary in appearance, and her words and deeds are very petty. How can she be worthy of her handsome and handsome brother Li? I don't know what my aunt thinks, but she actually wants to promote her as the mausoleum king's concubine.

Not reconciled!She is not reconciled!

Qu Lingxu has been silently paying attention to Qu Fengyan's words and deeds. Naturally, seeing his gaffe, he couldn't help but let out a cold sneer, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the crowd to surround Concubine Xu, silently Walking to Qu Fengyan's side, he said with a faint smile, "My sister doesn't seem very happy."

Qu Fengyan originally hated Qu Lingxu to the bone, but now that he was in such a bad mood, he naturally didn't have a good face, so he just glanced at him coldly, "Why, is sister happy?"

Qu Lingxu didn't seem to care about Qu Fengyan's rudeness, she just looked at her faintly, and said with a half-smile: "Today is a good day for my sister Jin's daughter-in-law, so I am naturally happy to be my sister."

Qu Fengyan has been busy scheming against Qu Lingxu, and now he was so angry that he completely forgot about this important matter. It was only when he heard this that he came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream. It's just that she was not as happy as she was in the general's mansion before, but looked at Qu Lingxu with some vigilance, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You really asked for the Queen's order?"

It was really hard for Qu Fengyan to believe that Qu Lingxu would help him for no reason, this matter itself was very suspicious.

"My sister asks this, but you don't believe me?" Qu Lingxu pinched a few chrysanthemum petals and played with them in her hand, "If my sister thinks there is something wrong, I can ask the empress to take back my life, but in this way, You can only be a little concubine, and you will be subservient to Cui Yalin for the rest of your life."

Qu Lingxu's merciless words were like pouring ice-cold water on Qu Fengyan's extremely miserable heart, making her originally unkind face even more ferocious.

For a mediocre and clumsy woman like Cui Yalin, it is a dream to want to surpass her!

Although her heart was full of hatred, Qu Fengyan knew very well that now was not the time to vent her emotions. If Qu Lingxu really refused to help her, the only way out for her was to become a concubine.

"What do you want me to do?" Qu Fengyan said coldly after thinking for a moment.

Qu Lingxu will definitely not give herself such a big face for no reason, she must ask for something in doing so.

She should have thought of this from the very beginning.

"Sister is indeed a straightforward person." Qu Lingxu looked at Qu Fengyan firmly, and the smiling eyes made Qu Fengyan feel a chill down his spine for no reason. He took a step back almost instinctively, and blurted out: "What do you want?" do what?"

"I don't want to do anything." As these words fell, the smile on Qu Lingxu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold expression, "This princess can't do anything, so... my sister had better Don't do anything, otherwise, not only will your glory and wealth be ruined, but your life..."

Qu Lingxu didn't continue to say the following words, but she believed that Qu Fengyan must understand.

"Qu Lingxu, why do you think I will listen to you?" Qu Fengyan hated Qu Lingxu very much, but at the same time, she was terrified of him. In fact, the words just now were somewhat threatening. Yes, in the past, she would have scoffed, but at this moment, she inexplicably believes that this is absolutely true.

Qu Lingxu can solve the predicament she created, and...it's easy.

There was a moment of struggle in my heart. After all, all the plans were carefully designed by Concubine Xu Gui. If she betrayed her at this time, the other party would definitely be very dissatisfied. But after thinking about it, she wanted to marry Murong Li as the concubine. It has violated Concubine Xu's biggest taboo. Since the big head is offended, what does it matter if there are more or less of these details?
As long as she successfully obtained the position of Concubine Zheng, she would naturally have a way to appease Concubine Xu in the future, after all, she was Xu's biological daughter and knew most of their secrets.

People are selfish, and Qu Fengyan is no exception, so he quickly made up his mind, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

To get rid of Qu Lingxu, there are naturally a thousand ways and ten thousand ways, let this little bitch be proud for a few more days, and she will get back her money with interest in the future!
Qu Lingxu saw the sharp hatred in Qu Fengyan's eyes, but didn't say anything, just smiled, "Sister really knows the current affairs, so I wish you and His Royal Highness the best of luck and longevity. "
