Murong Ling stood behind Concubine Hua and glanced jealously at the princes and nobles who came before her.
Xiao Junze hasn't arrived yet, and neither has that foxy bastard.
"Who are you waiting for?" Concubine Hua looked back at Murong Ling, sneered and bumped into her deliberately. "You're not waiting for your brother Junze, are you? You are the emperor's woman now, his mother-in-law..."
Concubine Hua deliberately used the word "mother and concubine".
Murong Ling was so angry that her hands trembled.
But in this deep palace, she did not dare to openly antagonize Concubine Hua.
"I heard that King Li now only favors Princess Li, and even dismissed some of the dancers and maids in the palace. Princess Li is also very capable."
Someone around me was gossiping about Xiao Junze.
Murong Ling's face became more and more ugly. She looked at the servants from each house who were busy carrying the feast and admiring the flowers, and clasped her hands. "Go and inquire, give me some money, and ask which flower is from Prince Li's Mansion. Do you understand what I mean?"
?”
After saying something meaningful, Murong Ling asked the palace maid next to her to deal with it.
The palace maid trembled all over. This made King Li laugh at him in front of the courtiers and His Majesty...
Now is a sensitive period for seizing the right to inherit the throne, and there is no room for carelessness.
Even she, a little palace maid, understands the truth, how can Murong Ling not understand?
But she was so overwhelmed by jealousy that she couldn't care less.
She just wants Chaoyang to make a fool of herself and be embarrassed in front of the civil and military emperors and nobles of the dynasty.
…
Royal Garden.
The flowers in the palace are blooming in clusters, with spring rains and warm weather, the weather has gradually warmed up.
Butterflies are dancing, spring flowers are blooming, and the path outside and into the palace is full of spring.
Chaoyang had limited mobility and was not allowed to drive a carriage in the palace, so he could only limp behind Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze had obviously forgotten the existence of Chaoyang, his steps were light and he had no intention of waiting for anyone.
Chaoyang bit her lip and shouted, she didn't expect Xiao Junze to wait for her, she just hoped that everything would go well when entering the palace this time.
"Are your legs and feet feeling better?" Behind him, Mu Huaichen walked over. Seeing that Chaoyang almost fell, he quickly helped him.
Chaoyang nodded gratefully to Mu Huaichen and stayed away to avoid suspicion.
Mu Huaichen smiled at Chaoyang, knowing that she was reserved and wanted to get closer to each other. "Has the princess prepared the flowers for the feast?"
The leader of flowers appointed by His Majesty will be rewarded.
Chaoyang nodded, already ready.
"Be careful with Murong Ling..." Mu Huaichen whispered in Chaoyang's ear and left.
Chaoyang's steps stiffened as he walked, and he felt a little panicked.
"Princess Li?"
Chaoyang's nervous palms became sweaty and he glanced sideways at the palace maid who came in front of him. "Yes."
"The Queen Mother wants to see you."
Chaoyang subconsciously looked at Xiao Junze, but Xiao Junze had already left after talking to someone he knew well, and did not realize that she was left behind.
"I wonder if the Queen Mother has something important to do with Chaoyang?" Chaoyang was a little worried. Could it be that the Queen Mother's temptation is not over yet?
"Come with me, slave." The palace maid didn't say much and left with Chaoyang.
Chaoyang followed a small path and stopped. "Isn't this the way to Yikun Palace?"
His eyes became a little sharper, and Chaoyang stopped moving forward.
The palace maid glanced around and fled quickly.
"Stop!" Chaoyang shouted nervously, but after a few steps, several strange men walked out from behind the rocks.
Judging by his attire, he must be a son of an official attending a grand event.
"What do you want to do..." Chaoyang slowly backed away, his heart beating a little faster.
Someone wants to harm her...
…
At the banquet flower field, Xiao Junze was seated before he remembered that he had set the rising sun.
I looked around a little displeased, where did this witch go?
"Go find the princess." Xiao Junze was still a little worried and asked the secret guards around him to find Chaoyang.
Not far away, Murong Ling watched Xiao Junze take a seat and nervously wanted to go over.
But this was a grand event in the palace. How could she, a concubine... go to see the prince rashly?
"Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made." The maid whispered behind Murong Ling, with a look on her face that everything had been arranged.
Murong Ling raised her lips and motioned for the maid to go forward.
"There is a private meeting over there."
"Everyone, come and take a look. There's a secret meeting behind the rockery."
The crowd was noisy, someone shouted, and the lively people went to watch.
Xiao Junze frowned. He hated such dirty things, so naturally he would not be interested.
"Some people saw her and said she looked like Princess Li."
"Really or not? Princess Li is the daughter of the Prime Minister, how can she do such a thing?"
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
Xiao Junze threw down the cup with a gloomy expression. What did this woman Chaoyang do?
"How can the royal palace allow you to do such dirty things? Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are simply not in the eyes of your Majesty!" Concubine Hua also came to watch the fun and said in a condensed voice.
Behind the rockery, two figures were surging, and they didn't dare to come out when they saw people watching.
"Surround me up! Why don't you go and pull out this filthy person who is messing up the palace?"
Murong Ling stood aside and watched the excitement, waiting for everyone to see the 'true face' of this charming witch.
"It can't really be Princess Li, right?"
"do not talk……"
Seeing Xiao Junze coming over, the gossiping women quickly shut up.
Xiao Junze's eyes were condensed, and his words were deep and deep. "What's wrong?"
Murong Ling stood on Xiao Junze's side, nervously wanting to get closer, but still wanting to avoid suspicion. "Your Majesty, I heard that there are unruly people having a private meeting in the palace..."
Xiao Junze frowned and glanced at the surrounding Yulin guards. "If you haven't pulled it out yet, what are you waiting for? Do you want your father to come and watch?"
Yulinwei quickly took action and went to the back of the rockery to pull people away.
Murong Ling raised her lips, stood up straight and waited.
See why Chaoyang is so arrogant in the future.
The two figures were pulled out, and Xiao Junze was inexplicably nervous. If it was Chaoyang... what should he do?
But when they were pulled out, they found two unconscious aristocratic men. They were disheveled and looked like they had been poisoned. They were sleep-deprived.
"Your Majesty, what are you watching?" Behind him, Chaoyang limped over, smiled at Xiao Junze, and deliberately stood between Murong Ling and Xiao Junze to block them.
Xiao Junze's body stiffened for a moment, and he subconsciously glanced at the two men who were pulled out. "Where have you been?"
"My legs and feet are inconvenient and I walk a little slower. What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" Chaoyang looked innocent.
Xiao Junze grinded his back teeth. This matter had nothing to do with Chaoyang? He wouldn't believe it.
"Sit down safely, and you'd better not go around causing trouble for me!" Xiao Junze warned coldly.
Chaoyang clenched his hands hard, his throat a little dry and hoarse.
If she hadn't been prepared before entering the palace and hid the poisonous needle in her sleeve, if she was the disheveled person being dragged out at this moment...how should Xiao Junze deal with it?
Chaoyang is not afraid of grievances. As long as he can live, it doesn't matter if he is wronged.
But I still feel uncomfortable...
"Your Majesty, you really hope that I am the one who is pulled out?" Chaoyang followed Xiao Junze and spoke in a low voice.
Xiao Junze frowned, a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to know who is trying to frame me for injustice in the eyes of everyone in this palace. The most important thing is the Prince's face." Chaoyang lowered his voice and warned Xiao Junze.
Framing her is no different from framing Xiao Junze.
Now they are just grasshoppers on the same boat, sharing weal and woe.
From a distance, watching Chaoyang and Xiao Junze take their seats, Murong Lingqi's eyes were red and his nails were pinched into his palms.
