Chapter 60 Canary

3days ago Historical fiction 2
The news of King Yu's secret return to Beijing was leaked, and King Liang Shun began to kill all directions when he learned that there were no generals in front of the formation.

This battle seemed to be as if God helped, and the rebels went south from Daliang to attack three fortresses, heading straight to the imperial city.

Everyone in the world sighs that General Tianwei died and is in great danger.

The people in the court were panicked, so Emperor Yuanxing immediately appointed King Yu Liu Yan as the general of the country, and ordered him to set off immediately and lead 80,000 elite troops to kill Zheng Xie and his gang members.

After Liu Yan returned to his post, he finally stabilized his morale and blocked Zheng Xie's Liang Shun's army from Yongcheng.

During this period, the capital was not peaceful.Ling Xiang, who was over fifty years old, died silently because the entire Ling clan had long been exiled to the northern border, and a generation of powerful ministers ended up with only a wilderness. It is a pity that he could not help but feel sad.

After Ling Xi learned about this, he just said, "Yeah."

Because her father has always been bad to her mother, she has a weak relationship with her since childhood.

But she was sure that her father did not collude with Zheng Xie, the Ling clan was innocent, and she was just a pawn that was used to destroy the Ling clan, so she had to avenge this revenge.

Ling Xi understood, and Emperor Yuanxing understood even more.

Time flies and the twelfth lunar month comes, and Liang Shun's army has been trapped outside Yongcheng for three months.

However, when the two armies inside and outside Yongcheng were confronting each other, the Dasheng Imperial City was already a scene of singing and dancing in peace.

The preparations in the palace this year were particularly grand, because Emperor Yuanxing had already announced the world that at this New Year's Eve palace banquet, the concubines in the harem, officials of the previous dynasty, and soldiers guarding the border would be given a large ceremony.

The position of the central palace has been suspended for many years, and everyone speculated that this should be a signal of the queen's success.

Although the concubine was still favored, Ling Xiang treason and it was difficult to convince the public after all.

In addition, Concubine Li's family background is also there, and her uncle is a general who follows King Yu to fight against the rebels, so she still has some chance of winning.

There is also the Queen Mother Zhao's side. She was determined to make a Zhao legitimate daughter the queen, and it was hard to say who would be the final winner for a while.

Besides, although Emperor Yuanxing was lustful, he had never had any children for many years. If Concubine Li and Concubine Chun had not had any miscarriage before, he would have thought that Emperor Yuanxing had something wrong.

In this way, no one can ascend to the phoenix throne by virtue of their son.

Although the palace was decorated with lights and colorful colors, everyone was watching coldly, and the atmosphere became tense.

However, what is completely different here is an inconspicuous elegant garden located in the remote corner of the southeast corner of the palace. It is rarely visited by people and is unique in surrounding green bamboo.

This quiet place is called Jinsi Pavilion. The palace people alleged that there was a woman who was graceful and beautiful like a fairy living here, which should be the place where Emperor Yuanxing hides a beautiful place.

In contrast, Changle Palace is not that quiet.

Ling Wan had known who was living in the Golden Silk Pavilion, but she had no choice but to do anything to her.

Originally, seeing that the woman had never gained a position, she thought Emperor Yuanxing had just been on a whim and never took it seriously, and would eventually abandon it and drive it out of the palace like a worn-out shoe.

But now that the New Year's Eve promotion is full of controversy, Ling Wan doesn't like that woman. If she takes the opportunity to gain the position of a good talent, wouldn't she be destined to stay in the palace?

Before dawn on New Year's Eve, Ling Xi was awakened by her maid and started to dress up.She has been in the palace for nearly three months and is finally a little plump than before.

The maid from Jinsi Pavilion is called Lian Qiao. She is about three or four years younger than Ling Xi. She is still a baby face and is beautiful and lively.

Unlike the serious Zhuqing and the submissive Yinzhu, Lian Qiao was taught by the palace maids. She not only has a sweet mouth but also looks at people's colors.

While she was carefully serving Ling Xi, she put on a pair of golden bracelets inlaid with colorful tourmalines, and then picked up a golden bracelet with a phoenix holding a bead, and smiled and said: The noble life is so beautiful, and this golden bracelet looks dim!

Ling Xi never cared about these things, but the Ling Yun bun she combed today was really heavy, and she said: I am not from the palace, so it’s too ostentatious to dress like this.

There was no sign of silence, Lian Qiao hurriedly said, everyone in the palace knew that today was going to be promoted, and a good day for noble people might be coming!

Although Lian Qiao didn't know where this white girl came from, she could see that Emperor Yuanxing attached great importance to her, so she consciously called her a noble person, hoping that one day she could get a position and not be in vain for her wholehearted service.

Ling Xi couldn't help frowning when she heard this, but just shook her head and didn't say anything.

What does it have to do with her promotion in the harem of Emperor Yuanxing? If he hadn't promised a better way three months ago that Liu Yan would never be able to do anything, why would she have to endure this world?

At first she was indeed afraid that Emperor Yuanxing had a bad intention. After all, he had a reputation for being lustful and debauchery, and the lewd harem was even more known to everyone in the world.

But what is surprising is that he didn't want to be frivolous when he carried her to bed that day, and he did not act as a stern person after that, so Ling Xi was ashamed of his narrow-mindedness.

What do noble people think?Seeing Ling Xi being in a daze, Lian Qiao called her and insisted on putting the exquisite Bu Yao on her.

It's nothing, let's go.Ling Xi was too lazy to argue with her, so she let her go.

Thirty days were arranged from morning to night. Fortunately, Ling Xi was not a concubine, so she avoided some big gifts of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.Just Tingyuxuan and the women who entered the palace listened to the opera and talked about family matters.

Oh, isn’t that Princess Yu?Suddenly, someone shouted sharply, and everyone turned their eyes to Tingyuxuan's door.

Ling Xi felt a sudden slap in his heart, and he understood that Princess Yu in their mouths was definitely not her.

What is her name as Princess Yu? At best, she is just a concubine. The second lady of the Ling family is the serious princess!This purple-shirted woman in purple clothes is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. Although she is not a direct Zhou family, she is also related to Ling Xi's mother's family.

But be careful, a lady in royal blue clothes rolled her eyes and said with contempt. She didn't know where the down-and-out household came from, and was just talking wildly.Ling Xiang is dead, and the second lady of the Ling family is still unknown. I think she is clearly running for her life and still has the face to call herself Princess Yu?

The Zhou family’s daughter-in-law is not willing to be outdone: Do you say I’m talking wildly?His Highness King Yu has not written a divorce letter yet, so the second lady of the Ling family is naturally still Princess Yu.

The woman in the Chinese costume snorted coldly and said sarcastically: The evidence of Ling's collusion with the rebels of the party is conclusive, and the second lady also had an affair with the thief Zheng Xie. She was really slutty.His Highness Yu is kind-hearted and does not write a divorce letter. I am afraid that it is just for the sake of the ancestors of Ling's family to give Ling the last face.

Who do you say is an affair? You shrew

With a crisp sound, everyone couldn't help but open their eyes and cover their mouths with a veil.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family stroked her face in disbelief and pointed to the person who was above her eyes and said: You, how dare you hit me?

You are the one who beats you, but what does the wife of the Zhou family really think she is?Zhao Muyao turned around and fell down without raising her eyelids. She looked around and suddenly laughed: What are you doing standing up? Why, this drama off the stage is better than the one on the stage?

Everyone knew the temper of the new Princess Yu, and they were afraid that they would involve themselves, so they all fell silent and left their seats.

Princess Yu, I am also the fifth-rank imperial wife personally granted by the emperor. How dare you humiliate me so much?After all, the Zhou family was a hero who followed his ancestors to conquer the prosperous country in his early years. They were considered to be a prominent nobleman. The Zhou family's daughter-in-law had never suffered such a great humiliation, and tears came down as she said that.

Oh, this time I changed my words to "Princess". Didn't I say that only Ling is the only princess?The woman in the gorgeous clothes also fanned the flames, hoping to see the good show.

Princess Yu?I don’t know what kind of stubbornness she was, but despite Lian Qiao’s hand, Ling Xi stood up and stood up when her mind was hot.After all, she still couldn't help but want to see how capable Princess Ganyi was.

Who are you?Zhao Muyao raised her eyebrows. Although she did not enter the palace often, she also knew many concubines and wives. However, after reading through her memories, she never remembered such a person.

Zhao Muyao looked up and down and saw that the costume was obviously not a palace concubine, but the gold and silver jewelry she wore was rare.

Bai Birou, a folk girl, has met Princess Yu.

The surname is Bai?Zhao Muyao thought for a long time and said: There is no important official in the court named Bai. Whose daughter are you?

What does it mean to whose daughter is? It is not the same virtue that is tragic.

Who do you think has lost virtue?The woman in the gorgeous clothes on the side suddenly burst into tears and immediately questioned.

The master hasn't spoken yet, why are the dogs anxious about that?Ling Xi said with a smile.The lady was anxious to refute, as if she had confirmed that Princess Ganyi had lost her moral character.

Who are you calling a dog? I don't mean this, Princess Yu forgives the crime... The woman in China reacted and was anxious to explain, but didn't know where to start, so she could only pinch the handkerchief in her hand in annoyance.

You are against you, come, the person who is arrogant and arrogant. Zhao Muyao was halfway through his words, and suddenly saw the maid next to her whispering a few words. Then her eyes lit up and she waved her hand in a hurry, saying, "I am dizzy, I will spare your life today!"This palace is now going to the side hall to rest, so you can continue to listen to the opera.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this person would start crazy and disturb the palace banquet, so that everyone would not be able to take it.

Only Ling Xi saw a clue and gave Lian Qiao a look, and the two followed him out tacitly.
