Chapter 155: The Master Behind the Scenes
If someone wants to use his mother's hand to deal with Shang Moxin, he may have taken action now.
Lin Dongyao whispered a few words to Nian Zheng. Nian Zheng's expression slighted, and he immediately turned around and quickly left the hall.
Opposite, Man Yue saw Nian Zheng leave in a hurry and said nothing. When she looked up, Lin Dongyao shook the wine glass in his hand, as if he was clinking glasses with her to celebrate.
"Little Dezi, bring my cold and warm jade chess piece up." The emperor spoke up under the strange thoughts of the Empress Dowager and the concubines.
Everyone knows that the emperor likes Leng Nuan Jade chess pieces. It seems that tonight we are going to witness the magic of Leng Nuan Jade chess pieces.
Xiao Dezi presented the cold and warm jade chess piece, and the emperor nodded to the empress dowager.
"Come, Xuan Linghu Full Moon."
As soon as the empress dowager said this, Linghu Hongxi's face changed slightly. Didn't it let Linghu Pingxue think about her mistakes at home? What did she come to the palace to do?
A touch of solemnity flashed in Linghu Quan's eyes.
What did Linghu Pingxue do when she entered the palace? Do you think the previous few times were not embarrassing enough?
Linghu Quan looked at the Moon and saw that the Moon was peaceful. Linghu Quan nodded at her, but there was uneasiness in his heart. Linghu Pingxue framed the Moon everywhere. Now that she entered the palace, she was afraid that she would not let Moon go!
This is in the palace. If Linghu Pingxue is really so indecent, Linghu Quan will not be polite to her anymore.
As the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Linghu Pingxue and the second wife entered the hall together.
Both mother and daughter were carefully dressed up.
Especially Linghu Pingxue, before people could enter, a quiet fragrance slowly came and gradually spread to every corner of the hall. Linghu Pingxue, wearing a light purple colored long skirt, moved her lotus steps to the center of the hall. Even if she just lowered her eyelids, it made the hall shine brightly, and the rings around her body make the quiet fragrance, which complemented the body, beautiful.
The Month never denies that Linghu Pingxue's appearance is fascinating.
"Linghu Pingxue, what are you looking for you? There is no mistake this time." The Empress Dowager said coldly, and her tone and expression were full of aura of power without anger.
Linghu Pingxue slowly raised her head. Although her makeup on her face was exquisite, she was still a little dull scar in order to cover up her rouge and powder puff, and her whole face looked too gorgeous and vulgar from a distance.
Although the Empress Dowager did not like Linghu Pingxue's heavy makeup, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything for the sake of the emperor's favor.
Linghu Pingxue held a decent and elegant smile and spoke softly.
"Please rest assured by the Queen Mother, my daughter must remember the Queen Mother's teachings." Linghu Pingxue's voice was particularly gentle today, and even had a hint of excitement, which made people feel numb in their scalp.
Lin Ran looked at Linghu Pingxue with a daze, but could not take his gaze for a moment.
Lin Donghe looked at Linghu Pingxue again at this moment, but he was not surprised at all, and he felt very vulgar. He thought that he was fascinated by her at the beginning, but now he doesn’t like her anyway.
Linghu Pingxue is a girl from a noble family whose birth date is the eighth day of the eighth month. She has magical abilities that can change the cold and warm jade chess pieces. For a moment, the second wife also glorified her face.
The second lady looked at Linghu Manyue with some smugness. Seeing Manyue's expression light and natural, the second lady's hatred increased even more. If the old lady had not thought of such a way to get the Leng Nuan Jade chess piece by chance, Pingxue would not have the chance to turn over!
A little Linghu Manyue still wants to fight with the old lady! Fight with her! It’s simply overestimating one’s own ability!
Linghu Pingxue was also full of excitement and pride at this moment. This was a great opportunity for her to turn over and change her destiny. She must seize it! From then on, there will never be a foothold for Linghu Manyue!
The second wife and Linghu Pingxue could never have imagined that the so-called cold and warm chess piece obtained by chance was actually a gift from Zhao Yuer to the old lady, so the idea was naturally given by Zhao Yuer.
If Zhao Yu'er wants to enter the Marquis' Mansion smoothly, she must pass the old lady's level.
Before returning, Zhao Yu'er had a clear understanding of all aspects of the Marquis' Man-Yue's house. Since the old lady could only decide when Linghu Manyue returned to the Marquis' house, Zhao Yu'er knew that if she wanted to come back, she had to pass the old lady's level.
But if the old lady agrees to enter the mansion, it will make the second lady dissatisfied with the old lady's decision. Although the second lady would not say it explicitly, she would definitely have a grudge in her heart.
Zhao Yu'er sold such a big favor to the old lady.
Taking advantage of her injury and growing up smoothly, the old lady knew there was a problem, but she would not really stop her because she got the benefits of Zhao Yu'er. The cold and warm chess piece that Zhao Yu'er gave to the old lady and her ideas also helped the old lady a lot.
Zhao Yuer knew that the old lady loved Linghu Pingxue the most. If Linghu Pingxue could be made straight up, it would be considered as fulfilling the old lady's wish. She also made the second lady grateful to the old lady.
Although the Empress Dowager does not like Linghu Pingxue's dress today, the Leng Nuan Jade Chess piece is something the emperor always likes. No matter how unhappy there were before, the Empress Dowager will wait until the matter is over before making a long-term plan.
"Prince, your birthday is also on the eighth day of the eighth month. You and Linghu Pingxue will come to the courtyard to clear the evil spirits and brighten the jade chess pieces."
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Jian thoughtfully.
Compared with Linghu Pingxue's calmness and freedom, there is really no match for Lin Jian's composure. The Empress Dowager couldn't help but mutter in her heart, no wonder Lin Jian just looked down on Linghu Pingxue and showed her appearance that she would not last long. Even if Linghu Pingxue had a beautiful appearance, she would get bored after seeing it.
Linghu Pingxue didn't know the Queen Mother's thoughts at this moment. She only knew that she had to seize this rare opportunity to turn over completely.
Lin Jian and Linghu Pingxue came to the yard together, but the fragrance that originally filled the hall did not dissipate for a long time.
The queen frowned without realizing the fragrance, turned her head to look at the empress dowager. Seeing that the empress dowager was also pondering, the empress whispered in the empress dowager's ear,
"Empress Dowager, the smell of this powder is very special."
"Indeed." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
"I'll ask Linghu Pingxue later, where did you buy this fragrant powder?"
"Yeah." The Queen Mother nodded, and also felt that the smell of the powder was very special. It seemed that she had smelled such a special smell a long time ago, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Lin Jian and Linghu Pingxue sat upright in the yard. Under the beautiful white moonlight, the two sat face to face, with two colors of cold and warm jade chess pieces in the middle.
The two began to play chess face to face according to the book that Lin Nande retrieved.
At the previous concubine selection banquet, Linghu Pingxue chose to play chess, but at that time, every step she made was aggressive and as powerful as a rainbow. Today, facing Lin Jian's elegance and nobility, she was calm. Linghu Pingxue's heart was stumbled around, and her every move was cautious and gentle like water.
In the hall, the full moon clear eyes quickly swept across everyone. The emperor stared at a scene in the courtyard with his eyes down. Shang Moxin sat quietly beside the emperor without the pretending posture of other concubines. Shang Moxin was simple and calm, without any delicate and artificial attitude.
The Empress Dowager also looked at the courtyard attentively, but looked out of the hall from time to time. If Man Yue was right, the Empress Dowager should be looking for the trace of Little Lizi. The Empress Dowager asked Lizi to go to An Fei to deliver a letter, hoping to provoke conflicts between Concubine An and Mo Xin. Then the two strong forces will fight and the Empress Dowager will benefit from it. But Lizi has been there for a long time and has not come back now.
The Empress Dowager was a little worried and sent two more people to find Li Zi.
Man Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Dongyao, who looked calm like water across the face.
With Lin Dongyao's usual style, Little Lizi can't come back! Not only can't come back, but the body cannot be found! Only then did Lin Dongyao's decisive and decisive style of dealing with things.
The chessboard in the courtyard is still continuing, and no changes have been seen yet.
Before the full moon, I suspected that all this was planned by the old lady in secret, or that she had the help of Zhao Yuer. The so-called eighth day of the eighth month was just a cover. If the Leng Nuan Jade chess piece was to change, Linghu Pingxue would definitely make trouble on the chessboard.
But at present, Linghu Pingxue has not made any movement. Except for when he gets each piece, he will put it in the palm of his palm and rub it with the fingertips of the other hand a few times, there is nothing special about it.
The full moon's vision couldn't help but fall on Lin Jian.
This was the first time she saw him playing chess. The so-called elegant and elegant behavior refers to Lin Jian at this moment.
Bingrun's slender fingers gently twisted up the black chess piece and held it between his index finger and middle finger. The shiny chess piece exuded the unique cool light of the gem, which looked like the depth and brightness of his pupils.
But there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, his smile was dim and intoxicated with wine.
Linghu Pingxue on the opposite side dared not look up at him. She used to think that Lin Donghe had a special temperament, and her coldness and nobleness made people look respectful and respectful, but now facing Lin Jian, Linghu Pingxue felt what it means to be truly elegant, noble and calm.
Every detail in every move can stand scrutiny and meticulous consideration.
Before he knew it, Linghu Pingxue's cheeks made two blushings.
"It's your turn."
Seeing that Linghu Pingxue was still moving, Lin Jian whispered to remind her.
“——Eh, yes, His Highness the Crown Prince.”
This was the first time Lin Jian spoke to Linghu Pingxue on his own initiative, and it was still such a low and nice voice. Linghu Pingxue hurriedly came to his senses and forgot to rub the chess piece in his palm. When the chess piece fell, Linghu Pingxue subconsciously took the chess piece back and rubbed it a few times in his palm, and then put it back.
Although the movement is fast, it is strange and urgent.
The pupils of the Moon instantly contracted. Although it was obvious that the key was Linghu Pingxue's small movements, the effect of the few strokes she rubbed the chess pieces was, and the Moon still had no idea.
