Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 130 The Beauty of Qionghua Banquet (2)
She looked over with suspicion in her eyes, just in time to meet the indifference, provocation, unwillingness and jealousy in Zhao Xinran's eyes.

envy?Ling Xihan was puzzled.Why is Zhao Xinran jealous of her?
"What is the Princess thinking?" Seeing Ling Xihan's silence for a long time, Zhao Xinran frowned beautifully, and said, "Don't tell me the Princess doesn't bother to compete with the courtiers?" These words were quite provocative.

Ling Xihan was not angry, but smiled slightly.

"The empress is so beautiful, who can compare to her? Miss Zhao is so confident today, she must not let others down. This princess is not very proficient in riding and shooting since she was a child. How can she use an axe in front of Miss Zhao, so as not to make people laugh. Miss Zhao and Don't be joking."

Xiao Tingxuan paused the hand holding the wine glass, and glanced at Ling Xihan calmly.Ouyang Chen's eyes drifted away from the sake in the cup, and a faint smile flickered across the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Xinran's expression changed again and again, and his eyes became sharper.Ling Xihan's words seemed to be self-deprecating and admitting defeat, but the implication was that she was arrogant and conceited, and she dared to compare herself with the queen, which was simply disrespectful to the queen.

Emperor Yuan Qing's face had turned cold, but the empress was at ease.The worry on his face turned into a calm smile.

"The princess is too self-effacing." It took only a moment to change his face, and Zhao Xinran quickly recovered his composure, but his eyes became more and more cold.

"The empress raised her eyebrows with an arrow that day, and the three armies rejoiced and worshiped. The princess has been smart since she was a child, so she must not be left behind in this riding and shooting." She raised her chin slightly, raised her eyelashes, and her bright eyes swept across the deep like ancient Tan smile. "The princess is so evasive, does she look down on the courtier's daughter?"

Zhao Xinran was aggressive, and the implication was that Ling Xihan was arrogant and conceited.He didn't even take the Right Prime Minister's Mansion into his eyes.

Prime Minister Zhao Linfeng's eyes were dark, and there was a trace of chill in his eyes looking at Ling Xihan.

Ling Xihan is very strange, the father and daughter of the Zhao family seem to be deliberately targeting her today.Why is this?The Zhao Mansion and the Zhongyi Prince's Mansion are still in-laws.She hadn't forgotten that the side concubine Zhao who was pregnant and hadn't returned home was Prime Minister Zhao's biological sister.What are the benefits to Prime Minister Zhao by targeting the Palace of Zhongyi in this way?
But now is not the time to think about these things, it seems that Zhao Xinran will not give up if he does not compete with her today.

She smiled softly, "The Sisters of the Xiangfu were once famous in the capital, and this princess is only a small person, how can she compete with the sisters of the Zhao family? Miss Zhao's words really upset me."

Zhao Xinyue's face darkened slightly, her right hand clenched into a fist.A trace of killing intent flickered in his eyes.Zhao Xinyue took two steps forward and shook her hand slightly.

"Sister..." Zhao Xinran looked up in confusion, seeing Zhao Xinyue shaking her head at her, and then looking back at Ling Xihan with a smile.

"Princess's praise, the minister and daughter are ashamed." She flicked her sleeves, and the hem of the clothes moved with the wind, as elegant and charming as willows supporting the wind.Her smile is calm and calm, beautiful and gentle.

"My little sister didn't like poetry and books since she was a child. She only loved swords and martial arts. She even regarded the empress as an example and gradually followed her example. But the empress is a phoenix, so I dare not offend you. Seeing the princess's grace today, I think the princess The lord has been with the empress since she was a child, so she must have learned something extraordinary, so she wants to look up and learn a thing or two, the princess must not misunderstand."

Ling Xihan squinted her eyes, the Zhao family sisters were really not simple.Especially this Zhao Xinyue, her scheming is really extraordinary.The queen opened her phoenix eyes sideways, and a stream of light flashed in her eyes.At this time, it is inconvenient for her to speak, otherwise Han'er will become the target of public criticism.After thinking for a while, she turned her gaze to King Lanling who was reclining on the soft couch.The two looked at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.

Prince Lanling's lazy eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded slightly to the queen.She raised her eyebrows with a smile, and was about to speak, but heard Princess Zhongyi speak.

"Miss Zhao is too worried." There was a calm but calm smile on the corner of her mouth, "The two daughters of the Xiangfu are famous in the capital, and they are a model for girls in the world. I have heard that the younger sister of the Zhao family is not only beautiful, but also has a straightforward personality. , I like riding and shooting swords the most, and her martial arts are extraordinary. There are countless ladies in the capital, but most of them study poetry and songs at home. Sister An Sheng came from the Jianghu, and she has a chivalrous heart. It is purely normal for people who want to learn from each other."

The light in Ling Xihan's eyes was cold, Princess Zhongyi's words had a lot of meaning, pointing out that her mother was born in a rough place and her status was vulgar.The second is that her status as an elder pushed her to the center of the storm point, making her even more helpless in the face of Zhao Xinran's provocation.But she also knew that it was inconvenient for her to speak at this moment.Because the moment Princess Zhongyi opened her mouth, the queen's eyes turned cold.As soon as she finished speaking, the coldness in the Queen's eyes could already freeze.She waved her sleeves, and stared at Princess Zhongyi with her phoenix eyes.

"Princess Zhongyi's words reminded me of this. Yunshang and Bengong are from the same school, and their martial arts are extraordinary. How can a little wind and cold destroy her to death?" She sat up slightly, slanting her phoenix eyes, There was a glimmer of light in his eyes. "This question has troubled me for many years. It just so happens that since the concubine is here today, let me clear up the confusion for me."

As soon as the Queen's words came out, everyone below fell silent, their eyes drooped, staring straight at the exquisite food and wine on the table, they just didn't look at other people's expressions, wishing they could become invisible at this moment.Ling Xihan was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the queen to deliberately make things difficult for the princess today.

Princess Zhongyi's face was slightly pale, she raised her head slightly to look at the queen, met her ice-like phoenix eyes, and couldn't help trembling in her heart.She walked to the center of the arena, pulled up her clothes and knelt down.

"The minister's negligence caused sister Yunshang's illness and death. I ask the empress to give me a punishment."

The queen leisurely squeezed the wine glass in her hand, her eyes were as cold as water.Beside him, Emperor Yuan Qing smiled and gently took the wine glass from her hand.

"Okay, today is a day of celebration, don't spoil your mood."

The queen looked back, her eyes were still cold, and there was even a trace of resentment. The resentment was not towards the princess, but towards Emperor Yuan Qing.

Ling Xihan was surprised again, why did she feel that her mother's death was becoming more and more unusual?Looking at the emperor's appearance, he seemed to know something.And the queen...

Underneath, Xiao Tingxuan lowered his eyebrows, looking at the bouillon in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.Ouyang Chen shook the wine glass in his hand, the smile on the corner of his mouth was not warm at all.

The atmosphere in the arena was suddenly tense. Ling Xiqing and Ling Hong couldn't help feeling a little worried when they saw that the princess had been kneeling in the center and the queen didn't ask her to get up.Ling Xiqing raised her eyes to look at Xiao Tingxuan, and saw that his eyebrows were fixed, as if he seemed to be caught in her long thoughts, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and bit her lip not knowing what she was thinking.No one noticed that Ling Xizhen, who was sitting at the very end, raised her head in an instant, her eyes swept over the emperor and empress seated above, a deep dark light flashed in her eyes.

That is - killing intent!
During the silence, King Lanling suddenly smiled heartily.
