Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 193 Looking forward to return (1)
After venting, Qiao Yingxia was no longer in the mood to buy jewelry.He snorted, then turned and left.

Wen Daiqin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qiao Yingxia's back gradually disappearing in the wind and snow, and smiled inscrutablely.

Feng Danhui came up, looked at her, and then smiled knowingly.

Qiao Yingxia is a no-brainer, but the two of them are very smart.Qiao Yingxia and Ling Xihan had been feuding for a long time, and after Qionghua's banquet, the situation was even worse.According to Qiao Yingxia's character, it is absolutely impossible to let it go like this.And the two of them have long regarded Ling Xihan as a deadly enemy, so naturally they wished that someone would take advantage of it, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Ling Xiyun and Ling Xiwan had indeed contacted them, and the purpose was very clear.They all have a common enemy, and at this time, it is natural for them to join forces.

But Ling Xihan is not an easy woman to deal with, they must be foolproof.

Moreover, it is necessary to ensure that there will be no revenge from the Queen and King Zhongyi afterwards, so Qiao Yingxia is the best scapegoat.

Anyway, her mother, Princess Zhaohui, is dead, and the present Marquis of Pingyang, Qiao Hongwen, is her half-brother, and he usually doesn't like her at all.Even if let Lai take the blame, the emperor must be happy to see it succeed.

This time Ling Xihan had already returned to the palace, when passing by the corridor, Ruoxue hurried over.

"Miss, you are back."

Ling Xihan paused, "What's the matter?" Although Ruoxue was a little irritable at times, she was not so panicked and inexplicable.

Ruoxue said in a deep voice: "I don't know why the young master angered the prince. The prince is losing his temper in the hall now. The princess, the four side concubines and several young ladies are all in the hall. This time the prince is very angry. .”

"Brother?" Ling Xihan was slightly taken aback, turned around and walked towards the hall. "Have you heard what's going on?"

Just as she was talking, Ruoyu, who saw the light green floral and collared jacket from a distance, ran over in small steps.

"Miss, this servant found out." She blushed because of running, panted slightly and said, "Didn't the young master go to Youzhou to travel after the Qionghua banquet? The servant just learned that the young master came from Youzhou Zhou brought back a beautiful woman named Pangui. I heard that the woman was a famous prostitute in Qingzhou, and she met the young master when she went boating on the lake. Knowing that this woman had a rough life experience, she had to be reduced to a brothel and made a living as a performer. The young master felt that she was talented and knowledgeable about etiquette, so he redeemed her. But Miss Pangui had no place to stay, so the young master took her to come back."

Ling Xihan understood, "What's more, did elder brother say how to arrange for that woman?" Eldest brother is not a lustful person, and elder brother and Qilan are in love with each other.Although I don't know why Qilan refuses to marry the eldest brother, but the eldest brother is definitely not a love-hearted person.But taking a brothel girl home in such a hasty way, no wonder the father is going to be angry.

Although the father is not a pedantic person, if the elder brother did not give the girl a title and placed her in the house, it would inevitably attract the attention of the people in the court.

Ruoyu shook his head, "No, the concubine thought that the young master liked the woman, so she proposed to take her into the house, but the young master refused very decisively. The prince was very angry and said that you brought her back, but did not give her a title. , How will people behave in the future? The concubine originally thought that since the young master doesn't want to take over Pangui's house, she should be a slave. But the young master firmly disagrees and insists that the prince take in Miss Pangui."

Ling Xihan frowned, brother doesn't seem like such a ignorant person.Since you don't like others, and you don't want to make them your slaves, why is this?
Just as he was thinking, several people had already arrived in the hall.

Before stepping in, I heard the roar of King Zhongyi, "You are very capable, dare to take a woman home like this casually? How did the sage books you read these years teach you? Teach you Is disobedience to parents disrespectful?"

Hearing this voice, Ling Xihan was clearly very angry, frowning and walked in.

The hall was full of people, the father, the princess, the four side concubines, and several sisters were all seated one by one.Only Ling Hong knelt in the middle, lowered his head, and did not speak.Kneeling beside him was a young woman.Wearing a lotus shirt made of silk and silk gauze with clear sky and water, a necklace of five blessings with plum blossoms and hearts is worn on the waist, which is hidden in the lotus-colored pleated skirt with plum and bamboo lanthanum.The black hair is pulled into a simple bun, and a flowing jasper blue diamond tassel is inserted obliquely. The body is weak and graceful, and the moon is shining brightly in the ears, elegant and elegant.

"Father." She saluted King Zhongyi first.When the noble-dressed side concubines below the princess saw her, they quickly got up and saluted.

When King Zhongyi saw Ling Xihan, his face softened slightly, and he waved: "Sit down."

The servants hurriedly moved the black sandalwood and gold-rimmed armchairs, and Ling Xihan asked unhurriedly after sitting down, "What happened?"

King Zhongyi's face sank sharply, staring at Ling Hong who was kneeling on the ground, two sparks appeared in his eyes.

"It's not this renegade—cough cough cough..." He was so angry that he coughed.

"My lord, don't be angry." The concubine, who was wearing a brocade jacket with ten brocade rose brocades on a water blue background, saw him angry, and yelled at Ling Hong while persuading him. (The concubine was originally punished, and the matter involved her son, so the ban was temporarily lifted.)
"Hong'er, listen to your father, don't be self-willed." Her pupils were slightly darkened, and she glanced at Pan Gui, who was kneeling beside him, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Seeing that King Zhongyi was angry, Ling Hong also blamed himself a little, but he was rarely stubborn when it came to looking forward to return.

"The child made the father angry. It is the child who is unfilial. Please forgive me."

King Zhongyi snorted to relieve the anger in his heart, and then said: "Tell me, what is your plan?" He is not a pedantic person, and he does not have any contempt or disdain for brothel women.It's just that the son brought the woman home without first discussing with him this time. The key point is that he let her live in the palace without a name or distinction.If this gets out, outsiders may think that he wants to take this woman as his concubine.Even though his family was poor, he was reduced to prostitution. If these words are spread, how will he behave in the future?The reputation of the daughter's family is the most important.Hong'er is usually introverted and stable, why is she so careless today?Is it really because Chang Ping's refusal to marry last time made him suffer?

Ling Hong hesitated to speak, so he could only say: "Father, the child has his own difficulties, please forgive me." He naturally knew what his father was worried about, but Pan Gui's life experience was not simple.Now that there are so many people here, he can't say much, he can only explain to his father in private when his father's anger subsides.
