"The concubine is terrified, so please ask the emperor to stand up as soon as possible." Yuwen Lingxi put down the bowl and chopsticks suddenly, only to see that the piece of magnolia on the plate had not moved at all, Lu Zhang laughed and asked: "What's wrong with my concubine today, temper?" So big."

His eyes were as deep as pools of water, Yuwen Lingxi glanced at them indifferently, and she did not have a momentary trance as before, she smiled slightly: "The emperor misunderstood, the concubine just felt bored in summer, I can't eat, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

How could Lu Zhang believe what he said, and the woman opposite had already ordered Qian Ning to bring up the iced sour plum soup, and his face froze again, and he said: "If you eat like this, you will definitely get stomach problems, and your mother will not persuade you if you mess around. , not withdrawn yet."

Yuwen Lingxi's face darkened, "Your Majesty, you care too much."

Lu Zhang said as if nothing had happened: "I just care about you." After saying that, he ordered someone to bring up cold mung bean soup. His smile was as calm as usual, "Drink some of this to cool off the heat without being too sweet."

Yuwen Lingxi suddenly smiled, she reached out to take it, and finished it carefully in front of him, only to see Lu Zhang's satisfied expression.

"So, is the emperor satisfied?" Yuwen Lingxi raised the empty bowl and smiled slightly.

Lu Zhang only thought that she was really being childish just now, and after finishing his meal, he dragged Yuwen Lingxi to gossip for a while before returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The papers of the past two days have not been approved, even if they are stupid, Lu Zhang still has to do the ink pads and comments that should be written by himself.

After sending Lu Zhang away, Yuwen Lingxi looked at the figure of the man leaving, and her heart grew cold.

She could see it clearly. Since ancient times, emperors were ruthless. What Lu Zhang wanted was an obedient woman. Thinking about herself, she raised the corners of her mouth. Even if she wanted her life, she would not obey for no reason.

If you lose your bottom line and principles, you are not worthy of being a human being.

Although her heart was slightly shaken, she was not a young Huaichun girl after all. Yuwen Lingxi took a deep breath, restrained the surging tide in her heart, and lightly held the scroll on the case table to read carefully.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky had just hung a bright rainbow light, and Yuwen Lingxi was already sitting in front of the bronze mirror, washing and changing clothes.After receiving Lu Zhang's oral order, she had to send all the daughters-in-law into the palace to speak, and consider her family background and character, so that she could choose a truly suitable wife for Lu Zhang.

Today's Yuwen Lingxi is dressed in a palace attire of flowing color and dark flowers and brocade, and the hairpins on her body are all tribute treasures from southern Xinjiang.Especially the hairpin of the hundred birds facing the phoenix on the head, adorned with peacock feathers, and made of colorful colored glaze, invited skilled craftsmen to inlay it on the crown, which is even more luxurious.

The banquet was set at the Xianyu Terrace, and Yuwen Lingxi was sitting in the middle, surrounded by a group of women, except for Xu Qian and Yuwen Lingxiu, the rest of the wives were full of praise for her jewelry and clothing.

Mrs. Gao, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "The imperial concubine, this phoenix hairpin, is the first one in the Li Kingdom."

"My sister's words are wrong. The colored glaze on the phoenix hairpin is indeed precious, but it was drawn by the emperor himself for the imperial concubine. This kind of intention is unique in the world."

Yuwen Lingxi calmly listened to their flattery, and smiled slightly, "All the ladies, please sit down, today is an ordinary banquet, so there is no need to be polite."

After saying that, she raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looked at the talented Mrs. Gao and said: "Lingqianjin's piano skills are exquisite, and I was intoxicated after listening to it last time. I think it must be Mrs. Gao and Shangshu who taught me well to get such a piano. Well-behaved daughter."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao's face immediately beamed with joy, and she felt that her flattery was on the head.

In fact, it is not the case, but Lu Zhang has already hinted in advance that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has not yet surrendered to Yu Wenli, and if he can win over, it will be the first-class good thing.

While talking, he saw the wife of Minister of the Household Department sitting in a corner, that was Chu Xiu's mother, and half a month had passed since the last time she designed the palace.

Seeing her gaze, Mrs. Liu got up hurriedly, "My wife greets the imperial concubine and empress."

"Mrs. Liu, you're welcome." Yuwen Lingxi hurriedly ordered the maid to help her sit down, smiled at Yanyan and said, "You and I are old acquaintances." His words were even more protective, and everyone couldn't help but think highly of her.

Seeing that everyone was present, Yuwen Lingxi started talking about the business, and said with a smile: "I am young, so I don't know how to understand. Now I am in a hurry to control the harem. Now that I have invited everyone here, I also want to ask for some experience, and I hope all the wives will give you some advice. "

After Xu Qian heard this, she sneered and said, "The imperial concubine grew up among the people, so naturally she can't learn to manage housework. Besides, the daughters of all the daughters have been trained by their mothers at home, so they are naturally incomparable. .”

She loves to show off so much, but she dares to be so presumptuous because she feels that Yuwen has become a concubine sensitively, and the prime minister has a pivotal position in the court.

But, Yuwen Lingxi smiled slightly, after all, a soft persimmon would rot if squeezed, and it wouldn't make a difference.

She shook the fan in her hand, and said with a soft smile: "Prime Minister's Madam, what she said is wrong. No matter how ignorant I am, I'm not as good as Lingfei." After saying that, she pretended to have forgotten, and turned her head to ask Qian Ning, "How many times has Concubine Ling been grounded by the emperor?"

Qian Ning understood, forced a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said loudly: "Returning to the empress, this is the second time for the concubine Ling to enter the palace."

"So that's how it is." Yuwen Lingxi nodded, and said in a dumb voice, "The prime minister's wife has no way to teach the daughter, the concubine Ling has repeatedly annoyed the emperor, and the concubine wants to train her, but she can't do it."

Xu Qian smiled coldly after hearing her sarcasm.

In her eyes, Yuwen Lingxi is just a daughter of a wine shop in the market. Why is she so presumptuous, so she continued without knowing what is good or bad: "The concubine Lingxi has always been the most knowledgeable and polite person, and she had a good reputation before entering the palace. Outside. But the imperial concubine..." She paused, covered her face with a smile, "I'm afraid we won't know when her name will be passed down forever."

Secretly revealing her identity, and uglifying her so unbearably, it really is a clever mouth.

Yuwen Lingxi was about to speak again, when Xu Qian suddenly continued, "It's just that the empress is so exclusive, and the emperor's heirs are rare, but it really doesn't fit the way of a concubine."

"Oh?" Yuwen Lingxi raised her eyebrows, "So the prime minister's wife is now teaching me how to be a qualified concubine?"

Her complexion gradually turned cold, and she silently glanced at Xu Qian and said, "It is impossible for the emperor to dote on me. Besides, Mrs. Cai just said that I am not virtuous and virtuous, but since entering the palace, the matter of drafting has not I will take care of everything. I don’t feel pain in my back when I stand and talk, so I guess it’s someone like the prime minister’s wife.”
