Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 526
Ling Xihan was taken aback, Xiao Tingxuan signaled Yi Qiu to go down.Then he turned around and held Ling Xihan's hand.

"Don't think about it, she will understand."

Ling Xihan lowered her eyes, and a bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I hope." She approached Xiao Tingxuan's arms, and closed her eyes wearily.

Three days later, the eldest princess and the gift of Ji.Since the queen gave birth to the last little prince and princess more than ten years ago, the palace, which had been quiet for many years, once again held a grand banquet.This time the eldest princess's birthday banquet was different from the past.The Queen has long decreed that the Eldest Princess will get married today, and will choose a son-in-law for the Eldest Princess today.

Princess Consort!When this announcement was announced, one can imagine how many people would be dizzy after being smashed?
The emperor is as dedicated and infatuated as the first emperor, and there is only one woman in the harem.How many years, the harem is empty.Those ministers who wanted to rely on nepotism to send their daughters to the palace and seek glory and wealth have been planning for many years without success.Seeing that the prince is already 15 years old, according to the custom since ancient times, the sons and daughters of the nobles will usually arrange house maids when they are thirteen or fourteen years old.But this prince seems to have inherited the indifference and alienation of men from the Xiao family.Not only is she not close to women, Shen Shi respects women at a respectful distance.This made those ministers who were scratching their heads and thinking about it once again shut the door.Thinking, how can we hug the royal tree tightly?

Finally, the opportunity they had been waiting for for so many years came.The eldest princess is going to choose a son-in-law, which is a great opportunity for them to seek glory.How can they not be excited?
Therefore, those famous sons and sons, all of them today put on their crowns and hair, and tried their best to show the appearance of modest gentlemen.

In the Jinluan Hall, Zhu Bi is smooth, bright lights are shining, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, the clothes and temples are shadowed, and the cups and cups are intertwined.Ling Xihan and Xiao Tingxuan sat at the top in a dignified and dignified manner, and Xiao Yiyue, who was the protagonist today, sat next to Ling Xihan.

Today she is dressed in plain green palace clothes, and over her coat is a brocade jacket with ten brocade rose flowers on a water blue background.A head of jet-black hair hangs gracefully around the slender waist, and the head is curled up in a chic and chic flying cloud bun. In the lightly curled temples, there is an amethyst moonless magnolia hairpin inserted, and an exquisite and translucent wreath string hangs on the neck. She is dressed in a lavender breastplate. The dress is embroidered with brocade patterns of beaded flowers, and the inner cover is a jade-colored smoked radish and silver silk gauze shirt, lined with a moon-white and pink water lily short-waist jacket, and a light blue soft gauze from Jicui Mountain is gently held at the waist.She wore a veil on her face, covering her beautiful face, only revealing a pair of cold eyes.

Sitting next to her are two young girls, a little younger than her, both of whom are all over the world, they are the third princess Yong'an and the youngest princess Zhaoyang.

Sitting beside Xiao Tingxuan were also two teenagers, they were the crown prince and the little prince.Inheriting the superb looks of Xiao Tingxuan and Ling Xihan, the two sons are equally magnificent and charming.As soon as the family sat there, it was like the sun and the moon, and it was as beautiful as a painting, which made people hold their breath.

Below, sat the courtiers and officials, as well as young talents from all over the world who came to stand for the election of the son-in-law.Their eyes skipped a few princesses one after another, thinking in their hearts that even if they could not become the son-in-law of the eldest princess, if they were lucky enough to be favored by the other two princesses, it would be a happy event that would shine on their family.Even leaving aside the identity of the princesses, these princesses are all beautiful, how many men in the world can escape the temptation of beauty?

Xiao Yiyue looked coldly at those so-called wits looking at her with greedy eyes, and she felt sick and bored.Sensing a scorching and gentle gaze from the crowd, her heart moved, and she raised her eyes to look over, just in time to meet Su He's deep and tender eyes.She stared obsessively, and her heart was torn by deep thoughts.Painful yet sweet.

Ling Xihan glanced at her, put the white jade cup on her lips, covered it with wide sleeves, and whispered to Xiao Yiyue: "Today is your birthday, pay attention to your image."

Xiao Yiyue turned her head and glared at her, but Ling Xihan looked at her with a dazed expression.

"Yue'er, I suddenly found out. Have you...haven't celebrated your birthday for many years?" The hall was brightly lit, and the rich and sweet aroma of wine and flowers intoxicated her eyes.She suddenly remembered that every few days around Xiao Yiyue's birthday was the day when Lele fell ill.In the past few years, Lele's illness has gradually improved, and she is determined to make up for this daughter.But he didn't want to, years of unintentional neglect had already made his daughter very disappointed in her.When did the daughter start to look disappointed and alienated at her?When did the daughter no longer look at her with dependent eyes, but with indifference and meaninglessness?
It was also at that time that her and Su He's development gradually fell out of her control.

Her hand holding the white jade wine glass tightened suddenly, and her eyes showed unbearable pain.

Xiao Yiyue was taken aback for a moment, then turned her face away, trying not to let the sourness in her chest rise into her eye sockets.The corners of her mouth under the veil were slightly raised, and her eyes were slightly tender and happy.

"You are wrong. It is not necessary for my mother to attend my birthday."

Ling Xihan's chest froze, and she felt the alcohol in her chest suddenly turn into a cold blade, cutting her throat inch by inch, causing her to be speechless in pain.

Xiao Yiyue looked down at Su He, with a gentle look in his eyes.

"The love and warmth he can give me, you will never understand."

Ling Xihan put down the wine glass slowly and tremblingly, her voice hoarse and painful.

"You... just hate me that much?"

Xiao Yiyue raised her head and suddenly smiled.

"You are my queen mother."

Ling Xihan suddenly covered her heart, and under the cover of the large red satin cloak with peacock pattern, no one except Xiao Tingxuan could clearly see the pain on her face buried in the shadow at this moment.His heart tightened, and he grabbed Ling Xihan's hand, his eyes were full of worry and pity.

Ling Xihan's icy fingers trembled, and he raised his head slightly, meeting his gentle eyes that had been there for decades.At this moment, the city wall she insisted on collapsed.She seemed to understand her daughter's persistence, her hatred, and her resentment.

Who has never been young?Who has never been young and crazy, chasing and sinking for love? Wasn't she the same 20 years ago?

That being the case, why make things so difficult?
She looked down, with calculating and greedy eyes, as if Xiao Yiyue was a delicious delicacy, and they would pounce on her daughter like hungry wolves at any time.

No, she trembled violently.He raised his eyes and looked at Su He who had been staring at Xiao Yiyue in the crowd again.

Su He, that talented young man from a modest family background, won the first prize at the age of 13, and gained a foothold in this chaotic court with his talent, learning and perseverance.In just nine years, without any background help and under the pressure of many courtiers, he was promoted to the right minister again and again.

It has to be said that this person's strategic wisdom is extraordinary.Similarly, the depth of his scheming is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
