A few days later, Ling Xi stood by the lake in the backyard of Cao Mo's house, she quietly looked at the ladies on the other side of the lake, today is the day when the third son of the Cao family marries his wife, as the young lady of Pingyuan Houfu, she and Ling Man were invited here together.

"Why didn't you leave the city that day?" At some point, Ling Zhu had already walked to Ling Xi's side.

"Brother, what you said that day made sense, you and I both shoulder the glory of Pingyuan Houfu, and I have what I have to do."

"What about Muzhi?" Ling Zhu looked at Ling Xi and asked, his eyes full of regret.

Ling Xi turned his back and took a long breath, then changed the subject, "Have you heard?" The bride who is going to marry the Cao family today should have been the second daughter of the right prime minister's family, but some time ago, I don't know why, the right prime minister's Wang family suddenly withdrew, and the Cao family hurriedly married Miss Liu. ”

"What do you mean...... The daughter of the Wang family who has retired wants to enter the palace? Ling Zhu immediately understood the meaning of Ling Xi's words.

"I heard that the second daughter of the right prime minister's family is not only beautiful, but also a young lady." Ling Xi said something about it.

"It seems...... This new candidate is not certain? Ling Zhu frowned.

"Your Majesty hasn't even seen Ling Man's face, so you can ignore her status as a concubine and have to raise her as the new queen? Is it just for the rumored beauty of her? ”

Ling Xi's words seemed to wake up Ling Zhu a little, and he also looked at the ladies in the distance and thought about it in his heart.

"Dr. Yan once said that His Majesty is extremely wise and will be a wise man. The Queen Mother is also very knowledgeable, has been in power for many years, and is a virtuous queen. Ling Zhu said faintly.

"Your Majesty is not the only one in Dongyu Country who has the final say, it is difficult to say whether the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion can produce a queen. The wrestling between His Majesty and the Queen Mother, maybe we can take advantage of it, if we are lucky, Ling Man and I will not be able to enter the palace, although the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion has no great future, but for my mother and you and me, this is the best result. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"We just need to prevent Ling Man from becoming a concubine, and the Queen Mother will naturally handle the rest. The Ling family can have no queen, but there must not be a flat wife, since childhood, Yilan Courtyard has never stopped, A-Niang endured and endured, my brother hid out of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and I didn't get my father's understanding, I don't want to retreat. Ling Xi said firmly.

"You're gambling with fate, what if you lose?"

"If you win, everyone will be happy, and if you lose, let me pay for it with the rest of my life in the inner courtyard of the deep palace."

Ling Xi let out a long sigh, she looked into the distance, Ling Man was quietly leaving the table, and she deliberately avoided the maid and walked slowly towards the garden.

"I heard that the third son of the Cao family and King Duan are close friends, and King Duan will come today." Ling Xi narrowed his eyes and said.

"Duanwang is indeed here, and now he is enjoying the flowers in the garden."

Xiang Hongxi waited for a long time in the back garden of Cao's Mansion, and just sent a message from a maid in the front hall, saying that the third lady of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion wanted to see him, and when he saw the most beautiful lady in Yicheng in Cao's Mansion, he was immediately interested.

Looking at Hongxi from afar, a slender woman in a pink Luo skirt was walking slowly towards him,

"King Duan is polite." Ling Man walked into Xiang Hongxi slowly, and just stopped at a distance not far away, she gave Xiang Hongxi a blessing slightly, and said softly.
