Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 520 Mother and Daughter Arguing (1)
It was another year of winter, and the snow was falling like goose feathers.This year's Kyoto is particularly bleak, and even the air seems to be frozen into ice.

Longyan Palace is as magnificent and solemn as ever, and the people living in it are as magnificent as they were more than ten years ago.The delicate facial features have not been painted with old lines due to the passage of time, but have added a little more charm.

But at this moment, she was sitting by the window, frowning tightly.

There was the sound of steady footsteps outside the curtain, and then her shoulders felt warm, she was taken aback and looked up.

"Xuan? Are you in court?"

"En..." Xiao Tingxuan draped the Longbai fox fur cloak for her, frowned and said, "Why are you sitting here? Don't wear more, what should I do if I catch the cold?"

Although the tone is reproachful, it is not lacking in concern.

Ling Xihan leaned in his arms, still not hiding the worry in her eyes.

"Xuan..."

Xiao Tingxuan looked down at her, "Are you worried about Yue'er's marriage?"

Needless to say, the two have been husband and wife for many years, and they can see each other clearly if they look at each other.

Ling Xihan sighed, "Who do you think this child looks like?"

"Naturally like you." Xiao Tingxuan looked at her with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.

Ling Xihan curled her lips. If someone said that her daughter looked like her in the past, she would be happy.But now she couldn't be happy.

Sensing her emotions, Xiao Tingxuan said softly, "What are you worried about?"

Ling Xihan bit her lips, and said in a low voice: "Yue'er, she...she and Su He..."

"En." Xiao Tingxuan nodded, "She and Prime Minister Su are in love with each other. After the court today, Prime Minister Su has already asked me to marry him."

"What?" Ling Xihan looked up in shock, looked at him eagerly and said, "Then did you agree?"

Xiao Tingxuan didn't answer her, but looked at her with deep eyes.

"Han'er, what are you worrying about?"

"I..." She lowered her head, her eyes dim.

"He is so much older than Yue'er..." She sighed, "In all fairness, Su He is young, promising and talented. As a husband-in-law, he is indeed the best candidate. But he is already 24 years old, and Yue'er is only At 15, they..."

"Han'er." Xiao Tingxuan grabbed her shoulders, and looked at her with deep phoenix eyes.

"I'll ask you a question first."

"Huh? You said."

"My cousin is still unmarried, what do you think?"

Ling Xihan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were a little sad.

Years passed, more than ten years passed by.But Luo Tianxiang and Ouyang Chen are still alone.Even Xiao Minglan married the princess many years ago.But it wasn't Ling Xi's painting, but a Jianghu girl.She had seen that woman before, and described her as somewhat similar to her, with a straightforward and bright personality.It's just that after marrying into a place like Prince Rui's Mansion, where there is a big dye vat, she had no intentions but ended up dying in the house fight.Fortunately, she left behind a son for Xiao Minglan.

From then on, Xiao Minglan did not remarry, let alone take concubines.When the child just turned 12 years old, he resigned from the prince and went to the world alone.

As for Luo Tianxiang and Ouyang Chen——

Luo Tianxiang is an official worshiping the prime minister, with a youthful demeanor, sought after by countless ladies from famous families, and even Ling Ximeng has been silently chasing him behind him for nearly 20 years.But he remained indifferent, ignoring the pressure exerted by his parents.She had thought about marrying him and Ling Ximeng, but before she could act, Luo Tianxiang found her.

She will always remember that day, it was a sunny afternoon, she was taking a nap in front of the wisteria trellis, and felt a bunch of scorching eyes sticking to her body.Those gazes were too complex, full of resentment, pain, sadness, and many, helpless and self-deprecating.

She opened her eyes, just in time to meet Shangluo Tianxiang's desolate and sad eyes.She was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

Luo Tianxiang looked at her quietly with deep eyes.After a long while, he said, "Have my feelings become your burden?"

Eh?She blinked, looking at him confused.

Luo Tianxiang laughed at himself, his eyes were sad but determined.

"You don't have to like me, or even hate me. But, you have no right to decide my life and future." After he finished speaking, he turned around coldly, and left without stopping, leaving her alone on the spot.

It was the first time that Luo Tianxiang spoke to her in such a cold tone.

Since then, except for state affairs, he has never entered the palace again, and never took the initiative to see her again.

At that moment, she understood Luo Tianxiang's feelings for her.His love is pure, sincere, and he gives silently without asking for anything in return.But she tried to use cold power to obliterate his pure affection.How is he not angry?How not to hurt?Therefore, she remained silent and no longer interfered with Luo Tianxiang's affairs.

As for Ouyang Chen, Ling Xihan's heart was extremely complicated.

Her eyes moved slightly, looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window.Recalling the same night 15 years ago, Zhao Xinyue ran into the palace and said to her.

"He's sick, please, help him."

Ling Xihan raised her eyes slowly, holding the newborn little princess in her arms, with a faint smile on her face.

"The imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital has been out of work for a long time, and I will send someone to invite me later."

Zhao Xinyue shook her head, "Only you can cure his illness."

Ling Xihan still looked calm and did not speak.

Zhao Xinyue smiled desolately, with a somewhat pleading tone.

"His illness is in his heart."

Ling Xihan lowered his head, shaking the baby in his arms.

"Then there is nothing the palace can do."

"You have."

Zhao Xinyue took a step forward, "He still misses you, as long as..."

"Zhao Xinyue." Ling Xihan raised her eyes, her eyes were calm but slightly cold.Handing the baby in her arms to Yi Qiu, she stood up slowly.The phoenix-embroidered phoenix bird dragged the phoenix-embroidered court dress on the ground silently, and she walked around Zhao Xinyue twice.

"Miss Zhao, I appreciate your courage, but it doesn't mean that I can tolerate you doing whatever you want."

Zhao Xinyue smiled wryly, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the daughters of the people must not dare to offend the Empress Dowager."

Ling Xihan went up the stairs and sat down.

"In that case, I don't want to hear what you just said when you resigned." She picked up the white jade teacup, took a sip of tea, and said it calmly.

Zhao Xinyue looked at her, she was so glamorous, with such a temperament, how many men in the world could resist her charm?

"When the son was three years old, he accidentally discovered that his mother was having an affair with his mentor. Since then, he has always had a knot in his heart. He never lets girls get close, and he never touches any woman. Because in his eyes, all women in this world They are all as filthy as his mother." Her eyes were gloomy, with a bit of distress and sadness.

"Actually, what he thinks is the dirtiest thing is his own heart and his blood."
