"Empress, today is a joyous day for the new year. Don't let these things dampen your spirits.”A luxuriously dressed lady bowed slightly and smiled.
"That's right, it's really not worth it to affect the Empress 'mood for such a Shu daughter.”Another woman said.
Leng Yunge stood in an inconspicuous corner and watched everything coldly.
Those who entered the palace today were mostly the daughters of the first wife of the noble family. They were all born noble and naturally looked down on Leng Yunxi, the daughter of a concubine, especially after what she had done today.
In addition, the Empress hated her, so she didn't put her in her eyes and wouldn't give her any face. So what if she was the Prime Minister's daughter? Tianchen Kingdom always had a clear distinction between Di and Shu, Shu daughters were ultimately not presentable.
"Then let's go. If we delay the time, it won't work.”the Empress said. She glanced at Leng Yunxi from the corner of her eyes. The disgust in her eyes could not be hidden.
With that, everyone surrounded the Empress and walked towards the lake, leaving Leng Yunxi kneeling on the floor, trembling.
The pitiful Leng Yunxi still didn't understand what she had done wrong to make the Empress hate her for no reason. She had lost all face in front of the noble ladies in the capital and didn't know how to stand in front of them in the future.
Actually, after Leng Yunxi left the Yaoguang Palace, Leng Yunge had asked Ying Xue to quietly follow behind him.
When Ying Xue came back and told her that Leng Yunxi and Mo Qianchen were by the lake, she suggested in the hall that it would be best to light lanterns to pray and make wishes at the beginning of the new year. The Empress agreed and led the ladies out of the hall.
Who didn't want everything to go well in the new year? Every woman loved to light lanterns and pray for blessings.
In her previous life, she knew that the empress would always light lanterns to pray for blessings during the new year, so…
Soon, eunuchs carried many lotus flower lanterns and distributed them to the noble ladies and young ladies who had followed them.
Leng Yun Ge also took a lantern from the eunuch's hand. She wrote her wish on the lantern and placed it in the lake. She placed her hands on her heart and prayed.
Even though she had experienced a life and death calamity, her heart still had the beautiful yearning of a woman.
However, her wish was no longer like those young girls who wanted to find a suitable husband. She only hoped that her mother would be safe, healthy, and happy.
On the other end, the Empress also wrote down the wishes she made every year." I wish for you to live a thousand years. I wish for me to be healthy. I wish for me to be like a swallow on the beam and see you every year.”
When the lanterns drifted away, she said softly," I've made so many wishes for so many years. Will my wishes come true this year? Or is it still for nothing?" His voice was ethereal and ethereal. That figure seemed a little lonely under the moonlight.
After putting out the lanterns, everyone followed the Empress back to the Yaoguang Palace.
Leng Yun Ge didn't follow them back. She strolled by the lake alone, enjoying the beautiful scenery under the moon.
She was walking alone by the lake when she suddenly saw Mo Qianchen looking at her with a faint smile.
Under the moonlight, he was dressed in a red suit, but it also made him look different, making her infatuated and linger for a moment.
She walked forward and said,"Why isn't the Ninth Prince in the palace to celebrate the new year with the officials, drinking and having fun? Why is he here?"”
"What those people said was nothing but flattery. How could it compare to the thrilling show by the lake just now?”Mo Qianchen circled around Leng Yunge and finally stopped beside her. He looked at her playfully and smiled.
"If it wasn't for the Ninth Prince's cooperation, this show wouldn't have been able to go on.”Leng Yunge looked straight at Mo Qianchen and said indifferently.
"Then how are you going to thank me?”
"The ninth prince has everything he wants. Are you so greedy that you still care about my gratitude?”
" You..." Mo Qianchen's face changed slightly at Leng Yunge's words. This woman always made him feel embarrassed. He continued," How did you know that the Empress would be angry with Leng Yunxi when she saw my mother's clothes?"”
"This is just a random guess.”Leng Yun Ge said perfunctorily.
"What kind of person are you? You know so much? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" Mo Qianchen stretched his head to Leng Yunge's neck and said while exhaling.
"Ninth Prince, you've asked me this question many times. Don't you find it annoying?”Leng Yun Ge's breathing slowed down for a moment, and her heart beat faster as she replied hurriedly.
" You…" Mo Qianchen was speechless.
"Ninth Prince, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave.”Leng Yunge bowed slightly. After she finished speaking, she ignored Mo Qianchen's dark face, turned around, and left quickly.
After a few steps, she stopped and said," For a person who has died once, living another day is a gain. Why would he be afraid of death?”With that, he disappeared into the moonlight.
Mo Qianchen stood there in a daze. What had happened to her? He was puzzled, and a trace of heartache flashed across his heart.
Looking at the departing figure, he refused to look away. This was the umpteenth time that he could not bear to look away from her.
By the time Leng Yun Ge returned to the Yaoguang Palace, Celestial Empress had already left. The people in the hall were no longer restrained and respectful when Celestial Empress was around. They were all enjoying the delicacies freely with smiles on their faces, as if they were really happy.
The ministers in the court toasted each other in twos and threes, and exchanged pleasantries. The noble ladies and young ladies also gathered together, chatting about their daily lives and interesting things in the capital.
She walked to her seat and saw Leng Yunxi sitting there dejectedly. No one was paying attention to him. After what happened just now, it was only natural that no one was willing to date her. After all, everyone respected the higher ups and stepped on the lower ups, let alone these noble ladies. If it wasn't for Leng Cangyuan's identity as the Prime Minister, it wouldn't be strange for them to humiliate her.
After a while, the banquet ended. After everyone said their goodbyes, Leng Cangyuan brought Madame Lin, Leng Yunge, and Leng Yunxi behind him. They walked through the winding corridor, exited the palace gate, and boarded the carriage.
At this moment, the night was dark. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, shining on the ground, making the snow white contrast crystal clear.
Today's night was so beautiful, and Leng Yun Ge was in a good mood.
When they returned to the manor, Leng Yunxi bade them farewell. Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin were still unaware of what had happened at the lakeside. They smiled and responded to her, so she took the servant girl back to the East Garden. Meanwhile, Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin brought Leng Yunge back to West Park.
"Miss, I didn't think that the Second Miss would have an affair with the Fourth Prince. How shameless. The Fourth Prince is your fiancé, her future brother-in-law.”Ying Xue angrily said after returning to her room.
"Since she can do it, she doesn't treat me as her sister.”Leng Yun Ge said indifferently, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
"However, seeing how she was ridiculed by the Empress today, she doesn't have a good future among the nobles. Let's see if she dares to act recklessly in the future.”Yingxue said with a gloating expression.
"If you know, why are you still so angry? You have to know that evil people will be tortured by evil people.”
"But, miss, the fourth prince is your fiancé. Aren't you sad at all?”Ying Xue asked curiously.
"Since he can do such a thing behind my back, it's not worth my sadness for him. I'll definitely think of a way not to marry him.”
"Miss, most men in the world have three wives and four concubines. Why must you give up the Fourth Prince for the Second Miss? The Fourth Prince is the Empress 'son. In the future, he will most likely ascend to the throne. At that time, you will be the Empress. This was something that many noble ladies could not even beg for. All of them were eager to marry him.”Ying Xue was shocked as she urged anxiously. In her heart, Mo Qianyu was outstanding in both family background and appearance. It was Leng Yunge's blessing to have a husband like the Fourth Prince.
"So what if she's the empress? I don't care." Leng Yun Ge snorted and said.
When Ying Xue heard this, she opened her mouth in shock. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't believe that this was what her young miss had said.
In the past, she had been looking forward to the Fourth Prince's arrival every day. Why had she become so cold now?
Meanwhile, Concubine Su was waiting for Leng Yunxi to return.
When Leng Yunxi came back, she quickly walked over and held his hand." How is it?" she asked. Today, you must be the most beautiful woman in the world, right?”
"Don't mention it. I'm so unlucky." Leng Yunxi shook off Concubine Su's anger and said angrily.
"How could that be? You are so outstanding today." Concubine Su was stunned as she asked doubtfully.
"I don't know why, but when the Empress saw me, she scolded me for no reason and targeted me. This made it difficult for me to walk in the palace, and I didn't have the chance to show off.”
"How did this happen? What went wrong?" Aunt Su said. Her good mood was swept away and she looked at Leng Yunxi with a dark look.
"How would I know?" Leng Yunxi said impatiently.
"It's really a waste of my meticulous preparations for you, spending money and energy. You useless thing, you're really useless.”Concubine Su scolded. She stretched out her right hand and pinched Leng Yunxi's thigh hard.
Leng Yunxi was in pain, and a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes. It had been like this since she was young. If she did well, Concubine Su would treat her very well. If she did not do well, Concubine Su would criticize her in every possible way. She would either hit or scold her, and she would not ask for the right or wrong reasons.
How could she not know that Concubine Su had nurtured her so much, allowing her to climb up the social ladder and marry into a good family? Wasn't it for her own future glory and wealth? When had she ever truly thought about her happiness? No matter how much money he spent on her, wasn't it all for the sake of getting more wealth in the future? No matter how much effort he spent, wasn't it all for the sake of having a more honorable life in the future?# Daguan reviewed: Daguan Time:111420184: 26PM #Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
