The carriage did not stop at the main entrance of the Eastern Palace. It only stopped when it reached the side door.
Xu Ling 'er got off the carriage with the help of a servant girl. When she looked up, she saw a few servant girls waiting for her. She smiled and let them lead her in.
This was Xu Ling 'er's first time here.
The fake mountains and gardens in the Eastern Palace were unique and exquisite. Perhaps it was because this place was called the Eastern Palace. He actually felt like he was looking down on the world.
No wonder countless people in the world wanted to come to this place. He did not hesitate to betray them.
Xu Ling 'er's eyes flashed with killing intent at the thought of this. Coming to this place again, there was only endless hatred in her heart. The man she had loved for so many years was now standing in such a high position and looking down on the world.
And his position had climbed up to where he was today by stepping on the flesh and blood of everyone in the Ling family.
Xu Ling 'er retracted the coldness in her eyes and raised her head to look at Xu Zhen, who was sitting in the side hall. She bowed respectfully and said,"Greetings, Crown Princess Consort."
Xu Zhen glanced at her slowly and snorted. She walked up to her with a smile on her face and held her hand affectionately." I didn't expect you to be Ninth Brother's fiancée. Then we're family."”
Xu Ling 'er replied with a sweet smile," I have been rude previously. Please don't mind."”
"Why would I argue with my sister? My sister must be tired coming here so early in the morning. Why don't we sit down?”Xu Zhen said as she led her slowly inside.
Xu Ling 'er looked around warily. With the rumor that she could get the world, Xu Zhen would definitely not be so kind to her.
Xu Zhen smiled lightly and signaled for the maid to bring tea over." Since you're here to learn, there are some things that we have to be in front of."”She paused for a moment." Since you're unmarried now, you have to restrain yourself. Don't show your face in public all day. I've prepared a courtyard for you. Where are you going to stay? Don't run around for no reason. The Eastern Palace was not as big as the Imperial Palace, but it was not small either. What if his sister got lost here?”
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes and smiled. From the corner of her eye, she saw a bright yellow figure approaching. An imperceptible trace of scheming flashed across her eyes. She slowly picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip when Xu Zhen unexpectedly cried out in surprise.
Xu Ling 'er's hand trembled violently, and the boiling hot tea spilled out.
She cried out in surprise and dropped the teacup in her hand.
She hurriedly knelt down." Empress, please forgive me."”
Xu Zhen looked at her with disdain, but her eyes were filled with pride." You can't even do such a small thing well. I really don't know how you're going to marry into the royal family in the future."”
Xu Ling 'er lowered her head and did not speak.
Mu Yunqi could not stand it anymore. He walked straight to the side hall and ignored Xu Zhen's bow. He gently helped Xu Linger up.
"Ling 'er only arrived today, why is the crown prince consort so anxious? There's plenty of time to teach you." As he spoke, his gaze fell on her reddened hand. He turned around and instructed,"Go get some medicine."
The attendant responded and walked down. Xu Ling 'er bowed and said," The Crown Princess Consort has good intentions. If my daughter learns well soon, she will be able to save the Crown Prince some trouble."”
"BenGong has never bothered about you. Why do I need to worry?" Mu Yunqi said as his gaze lingered on her." You're a little tired today. You should go and rest."”
Xu Ling 'er replied and was about to leave. Xu Zhen stepped forward with a smile on her face and took off the bracelet on her hand.
"Today is your first time entering the Eastern Palace, so I don't have anything else to give you. Take this. I scared you just now. Don't take it to heart.”
Xu Ling 'er was flattered and pushed her away." Your Majesty, what are you doing? You're making me panic."”
A cold look flashed across Xu Zhen's face. If it wasn't for the fact that she had to maintain her image in front of Mu Yunqi, she wouldn't have done this.
"It's fine. Just accept it. I'll send someone to send something else over later.”Mu Yunqi's gaze deliberately stopped on Xu Zhen as he spoke.
Xu Ling 'er did not refuse any further. She kept the jade bracelet and left.
The courtyard that Xu Zhen had arranged for Xu Ling 'er was very remote. It took her a long time to arrive. She could not stay here for too long, so she had to hurry up.
As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile.
The next day, rumors about Xu Ling 'er spread throughout the entire residence. She said that the Crown Prince had secretly taken a liking to her, but he did not dare to accept her because of the Crown Princess Consort. Thus, he deliberately used Mu Yunlan as a shield. In reality, he still wanted Xu Ling 'er to enter the residence.
Originally, this rumor was not very convincing. However, Mu Yunqi had sent over a lot of exquisite things yesterday afternoon, which confirmed this rumor.
Rumors spread quickly. Xu Zhen, who was sitting in front of the mirror, gritted her teeth when she heard the palace maid tell her the rumors one by one.
Although she knew that Xu Ling 'er and Mu Yunlan were engaged, it was also true that Mu Yunqi wanted her.
Panic and vigilance rose in his heart.
"Let Xu Ling 'er come over today to practice walking.”
The palace maid was slightly stunned. She looked at Xu Zhen's vicious face in the mirror and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xu Ling 'er soon arrived at the garden. Xu Zhen was already sitting there waiting for her. When she saw her, she chuckled." I think you had a good rest yesterday." Today, he would start from the most basic training.”As she spoke, she signaled the palace maid to take out a vase.
"What is the Empress doing?"
"All the women in the palace practice this. This is my favorite vase. Don't break it.”As Xu Zhen spoke, she gently placed the vase on Xu Ling 'er's head.
Xu Ling 'er deliberately pretended to be terrified. She lowered her eyes slightly and walked carefully.
Xu Zhen looked at her smugly. She took the teacup from the palace maid's hand and gently blew on it.
Xu Ling 'er glanced at her, twisted her ankle, and fell straight down. The vase above her head hit Xu Zhen squarely.
Xu Zhen was so shocked that all the water in her teacup spilled out.
Amidst the palace maids 'cries of surprise, the tea cups and vases fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Xu Ling 'er fell to the ground in pain. When she looked up, she saw the palace maids helping Xu Zhen up in a hurry.
"Empress, are you alright?"
Xu Zhen looked at her innocent look and was furious. She stepped forward and pointed at her nose, scolding,"Xu Ling 'er, you did it on purpose, didn't you?”
"No."
"You still dare to say no!" Xu Zhen was overbearing and slapped her face. She said angrily,"Don't think that I don't dare to do anything to you. So what if you're the chosen one? Let's see if the rumors about you getting the world still count after you die!”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:51AM
