C24 Consultation

Not waiting for Lin Ruo Yun to walk forward, Mu Ling Wei quickly walked in front of Lin Ruo Yun. Seeing her lowered her head, she felt a little condescending.

"Let me ask you, is your sister really like what they said?" Mu Ling Wei asked.

Lin Ruo Yun was stunned when she heard her question, but she quickly reacted and asked Lin Ruo Yin.

Lin Ruo Yun had always had a bad opinion of Lin Ruo Yin. Now that she heard their words, she knew that this person in front of her was probably very dissatisfied with her sister. In her opinion, this was a good opportunity.

"Miss Ling Wei, the woman they are talking about is definitely not my sister, Lin Ruo Yin." Lin Ruo Yun raised her head and replied with a sincere smile.

Mu Ling Wei immediately became interested, "Tell me in detail."

"Miss Ling Wei, it's fine if my sister doesn't say it, but once she does, she will really anger me to death. The day she just returned home, I and my big sister went to welcome her out of goodwill, but she actually fell into the lake and accused my big sister of pushing her. After that, I sent her porridge out of goodwill, and just as I was about to leave, she went to find my Ancestor Grandmother and said that I poured porridge on her and burned her. This kind of thing happened a lot, so I couldn't be bothered to explain it."

After saying all this, Lin Ruo Yun secretly glanced at Mu Ling Wei. Seeing the faint disdain on her face, she knew that what she said was in her heart.

"Then what about the matter at the horse farm?" Mu Ling Wei asked again. In her mind, the Crown Prince would not spout nonsense.

Lin Ruo Yun was waiting for her to ask this question. Hearing her question, she quickly said, "Miss Ling Wei, it's good that you didn't ask. Now that I asked, I remembered something."

"What is it?" Mu Ling Wei's tone became anxious.

Lin Ruo Yun shook her head and said, "I think I was thinking too much. After all, my sister isn't that bold."

"If you don't say, I'll take you to my aunt." Mu Ling Wei hated to be halfway through her words.

Lin Ruo Yun then said, "I was curious about why my sister would choose a short-legged horse that day. Thinking about it now, maybe she knew that the horse would go crazy from the start."

Mu Ling Wei's expression immediately changed when she heard this. If that was really the case, then this matter was not simple. Thinking about how her aunt usually taught her to talk less and do more, she was cautious. Seeing that Lin Ruo Yun still wanted to continue, she quickly waved her hand to stop her.

Lin Ruo Yin, who had been hiding in the dark, smiled faintly. It was not because of anything else, but because Lin Ruo Yun's words were quite good. If Mu Ling Wei had the intention to, she would probably be in a difficult situation.

However, she had been paying attention to Mu Ling Wei all this time. At this moment, she obviously did not want to continue this topic. In other words, she did not want to make things worse. Since that was the case, she did not need to get involved in this mess.

Thinking about it this way, she did not care about what they would say anymore. She turned around and quietly left.

What Lin Ruo Yin did not know was that her actions were all seen by those who were interested.

"Queen, are you going to wear the phoenix coronet today?" The palace maid stood at the side and asked carefully.

The Queen glanced at the jewelry on the dressing table and said with a slight raise of her phoenix eyes, "This is for my leisure. There is no need to be too grand. Just wear the phoenix hairpin."

The palace maid bowed and said yes. Then, she stood up and picked up the peach wood comb. She walked behind the Queen and gently combed her hair.

The slightly sleepy Queen was about to take this opportunity to close her eyes and rest for a while when she heard the sound of the door opening. Following that, a series of footsteps that would not be heard by anyone if they did not listen carefully.

"Queen, Jin An." When the footsteps slowly approached, a soft voice followed.

The Queen opened her eyes and did not look at the palace maid. Instead, she directly asked, "Little Peach Red, how is it?"

The palace maid called Little Peach Red stood up. She originally thought that it was a young woman, but she did not expect that she was actually a bit old. She must have served the Queen for a long time.

Little Peach Red did not answer in a hurry. Instead, she asked, "Queen, why don't you let me comb it?"

The Queen nodded slightly and agreed.

Little Peach Red took the peach wood comb and used her hands to tidy up the Queen's hair. She then said, "Reporting to the Queen, I saw something interesting just now."

The Queen did not speak, as if she was not interested. Little Peach Red knew that this was the meaning of her asking her to continue speaking, so she told the Queen about what she heard from the few Misses discussing about the palace and Mu Ling Wei's appearance.

"I also saw Miss Lin Ruo Yin." Little Peach Red said last.

"Oh? She heard those words too?" The Queen became interested.

After all, the Queen had gone to great lengths to prepare such a grand feast.

She wanted to find out what kind of person Lin Ruo Yin was. As for the other young ladies, she just wanted to take a look.

"Then Miss Lin Ruo Yin is standing even closer to me than I am. Of course, I heard what she said." Little Peach Red tied up the Queen's long hair and casually tied it into a bun.

"Then what was her reaction?" The Queen looked at the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, "Dai Feng Huan and Bu Zhou."

Little Peach Red naturally understood what the Queen meant. She picked up the pair of golden flower steps on the dressing table and said, "Queen, she just smiled faintly and left after that. She didn't let anyone find out about her existence, nor did she see me."

The Queen looked at the mirror again and indicated that she was going to wear the phoenix hairpin today. After she finished wearing it, she smiled lightly and said, "Really?"

Little Peach Red quickly nodded, "That's right."

The Queen stopped talking and put on the jade bracelet and a long golden nail clip. With the help of Little Peach Red, she got up and looked at herself in the mirror. Then, she turned around with satisfaction and said, "Let's go."

Since the banquet was about to begin, the Queen naturally had to get up. Little Peach Red had been with the Queen for many years and knew her temperament. Although she was curious about the question the Queen asked just now, whether she was satisfied or not, she did not dare to ask. She could only wait patiently for the answer to be announced.

The banquet was set in an open space in the back garden. There was a large lake beside it, and there were a few big trees by the lake. Even though the sun was about to set, the people who were waiting for the banquet to begin did not feel that it was too hot. Instead, the lake breeze was blowing, and the few scholars and beauties were in high spirits and started to recite poems.

Lin Ruo Yin just listened quietly, and occasionally laughed when the crowd was laughing. She tried her best to avoid the Crown Prince and Mu Ling Wei's gazes.

"Since everyone is so happy, why don't I make a pair of couplets? Let's look at each other!" Nan Gong Qian suddenly became extremely excited.

Naturally, Mu Ling Wei was the first one to agree and said loudly, "I'll do it."

Nan Gong Qian smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's compare the two of us. The first line is, the painting of water and mountain light." After saying that, he faced Lin Ruo Yin and said, "Since Third Miss Lin is not interested, why don't you do it?"
