The old marquis also arrived early in the morning and sat in his seat, having a pleasant conversation with several newly acquainted ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty.

When Su Xiaoxiao and her group entered Chongming Palace, the little princess immediately waved her hand wildly at Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a smile.

"Qin Su, Qin Su!" The little princess hurriedly gave up the seat next to her. Just now, several young ladies wanted to sit with her, but she rejected them all.

Although the Emperor of Western Jin did not completely revoke the confinement order on the Princess's Mansion, when everyone saw the Princess attending palace banquets again and again, they had a general idea in their minds that the incident involving the witchcraft was probably over and the Princess would soon regain favor.

"I'll go say hello to my great uncle before coming back."

Su Xiaoxiao brought the three kids to the old marquis's place. After saying hello, the three kids were successfully held down by the old marquis.

The dancer is also planning to come out and dance.

They rehearsed a new dance, intending to avenge their previous shame, but when they came out they saw the three adorable little ones, and they felt so bad!

Why are they here again? Are they going to let the dancer live?

The arrival of the three little ones once again attracted everyone's attention. As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Last time, everyone was too embarrassed to get close to them to take a look, but tonight, everyone gathered around them.

The three little ones were bullied by their weird sister, weird aunt, weird auntie, and weird uncle to the point that they began to doubt their lives.

Yuwen Huai didn't know yet that the Emperor of Western Jin had asked Su Xiaoxiao to treat Zhuge Qing's leg. Yuwen Xi didn't tell him about it. Feng Xiaoran thought that it was he who had asked the Emperor of Western Jin, so he didn't spread the news.

"How have you been lately?" Yuwen Huai asked Zhuge Qing.

Zhuge Qing was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his complexion.

Zhuge Qing said: "Thanks to your highness, I have slept well these days."

On the one hand, his legs no longer suffered from severe pain day and night, and on the other hand, the tranquilizer Su Xiaoxiao gave him was indeed effective.

Yuwen Huai smiled and said, "Originally, I was worried that the stone marrow would lose its effect on you, so I planned to find a new medicine for you."

Zhuge Qing said politely: "Your Highness is thoughtful."

People arrived one after another, and the hall soon became lively.

The Emperor of Western Jin also graciously permitted the two princesses to attend. Guo Lingxi did not want to see off the so-called relatives from the Great Zhou at all, but it was the will of the Emperor of Western Jin, so she had to obey.

She dressed up and went to Chongming Palace with her trusted female official. When passing by the Imperial Garden, she unexpectedly heard a panicked but familiar voice.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to see you."

"Confused! Is this where you should be?"

"But I—"

Princess Jing?

There is another man? Guo Lingxi signaled the female official to stay where she was. As a martial artist, her steps were light and not easy to be discovered. She walked over slowly, squatted down and hid behind a bush of flowers, looking at the two people opposite through the gaps between the branches.

She knew Concubine Jing, and the other man's face was a little unfamiliar, but from his accent he seemed to be from Northern Yan.

He suddenly held Concubine Jing's hand.

Guo Lingxi was surprised.

Concubine Jing looked around and said in a low voice, choking with sobs, "Who asked you to stay in Western Jin? Wouldn't it be better to go back to Northern Yan?"

The man said, "I can't bear to leave you... I'm worried about leaving you alone in the Western Jin Dynasty... I know you don't want to be a princess who marries a foreign country... Can I take you far away?"

Concubine Jing said with red eyes: "I am a princess who was married to a foreign country. How can I leave? Where does this put the Western Jin Dynasty? Where does this put the Northern Yan Dynasty? You should leave quickly. It will be bad if someone finds you!"

The man said, "I have joined the Third Prince's sect and am now an aide to him. Don't worry, I entered the palace in a fair and honest manner."

Concubine Jing said worriedly, "But this is the harem! If you are discovered, you will be dead!"

"Who is it?" The man suddenly looked in the direction of Guo Lingxi with caution.

Was he discovered? Guo Lingxi frowned secretly.

But on second thought, it's not me who should feel guilty, but this adulterous couple.

Guo Lingxi stood up slowly, looked at the two of them and said, "It's me."

Concubine Jing's face changed and she was about to block the man behind her, but the man stood in front of her before her.

Guo Lingxi said sarcastically, "What a pair of lovers, your love is stronger than gold. Does His Majesty know that you are so unfaithful to him? You fight for his favor every day, but it turns out that you have another man in your heart."

Concubine Jing walked out from behind the man and glared at Guo Lingxi coldly: "How good can you be? Don't think I don't know your past in the Great Zhou. What qualifications do you have to say that to me?"

Guo Lingxi smiled coldly: "No matter what, I have never had physical contact with a man. Besides, you also said that it was in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After coming to the Western Jin Dynasty, I was devoted to being my imperial concubine and didn't have any secrets with any man! Oh, I don't know how His Majesty will deal with you after knowing it."

The Emperor of Western Jin was a ruthless monarch. If he discovered that his concubine was having an affair with a man outside his family, the fate of both of them would definitely be worse than death.

Concubine Jing's face turned a little paler, and her attitude softened: "Sister Guo, we are all in the same boat, why bother?"

Guo Lingxi laughed and said, "You are wrong. You are sick, but I am not."

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Don't you want to get Wei Ting? Yes, there is no possibility for you and Wei Ting, but are you really willing to let him be snatched away by another woman? You are very jealous of that Madam Wei, right? At the palace banquet that day, you looked at her more than you looked at Wei Ting. I guess you really want to cut her into pieces. Although I can't help you get your ideal husband, I can help you get rid of a thorn in your side. Do you think this deal is worthwhile?"

Guo Lingxi said coldly: "She is not that easy to deal with."

Concubine Jing knew that she was moved, and her smile deepened: "In fact, some things are not as complicated as you think. As long as you agree, I will definitely find a way to help you deal with her, and make Wei Ting hate her forever!"

"What method?" Guo Lingxi asked.

Concubine Jing looked at the man beside her and said, "You just heard it. He is the staff of the Third Prince's residence and is deeply trusted by Yuwen Lin. He will bring Yuwen Lin here later, and you will bring Madam Wei here."

Guo Lingxi was startled: "You want to frame her and Yuwen Lin..."

Concubine Jing smiled indulgently: "She seduced Yuwen Lin."

…

Inside the Chongming Palace, Su Xiaoxiao was listening to the young princess telling some interesting stories about the Western Capital.

Suddenly, the female official beside Guo Lingxi walked over, bowed to Su Xiaoxiao, and whispered: "My queen is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden. She has something important to discuss with you."

What important matter could Guo Lingxi discuss with her? Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, then put down her wine glass and went with the female official.

In the imperial garden, Guo Lingxi paced back and forth nervously.

"What do you want from me?"

The sudden voice startled Guo Lingxi. She turned around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was brought over by the female official. She suppressed her panic and said, "I just saw someone. He's a spy from Beiyan."

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "You found the spy from Northern Yan, just tell His Majesty the Western Jin Dynasty, what do you have to tell me?"

Guo Lingxi's eyes flashed: "Don't I have no evidence? What if I'm wrong and falsely accuse Beiyan?"

Su Xiaoxiao folded her arms and looked at her calmly: "Guo Lingxi, are you also afraid sometimes?"

Guo Lingxi said unhappily, "Are you going to see it or not? If not, forget it."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Go, Da Zhou and Bei Yan are mortal enemies. Since Bei Yan's spies have come, we must go and take a look. Otherwise, wouldn't your kindness be in vain?"

Guo Lingxi took Su Xiaoxiao towards a desolate woodshed, and the female official followed them silently.

"It's the woodshed in front." Guo Lingxi said to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao walked forward without saying a word, not caring whether Guo Lingxi followed her or not.

Guo Lingxi opened his mouth: "Wait!"

Su Xiaoxiao paused and looked back at her.

"You..." Guo Lingxi hesitated to speak.

"I..." Guo Lingxi hesitated and clenched the handkerchief.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed: "Guo Lingxi, you look like you can't bring yourself to attack me, no wonder you can't beat Zhao Kangjing."

Guo Lingxi's pupils shrank.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "But it's not a bad thing, it means my threat yesterday was very successful."

A flash of humiliation flashed across Guo Lingxi's eyes.

She realized something and suddenly turned around to look at the female official behind her.

The female official bowed her head deeply.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Don't embarrass her, she is just a female official."

Guo Lingxi, the female official from the Great Zhou, might be blinded by hatred for a while, but she would not lose her mind. She came on behalf of the Great Zhou, and she had to consider the overall situation. It was impossible for her to watch the noble lady of the Great Zhou being schemed against by the Princess of Beiyan.

Of course, she was not aware of Concubine Jing's plan. She just told Su Xiaoxiao the truth that she saw Concubine Jing talking to Guo Lingxi, and there was a strange man beside them.

This is enough. How could Su Xiaoxiao not guess that Guo Lingxi was being used by someone?

If Guo Lingxi hadn't hesitated for a moment, Su Xiaoxiao would have thrown her into the woodshed.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you want to know what Concubine Jing's real purpose is?"

Guo Lingxi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Here I am."

Several people retreated behind a big tree.

A young eunuch came over with a tall man as strong as a pine or bamboo.

Guo Lingxi recognized him at a glance: "Wei Ting?"

Wait, why is it Wei Ting who came? Didn't they say it would be Yuwen Lin?

"Where is my wife?" Wei Ting asked.

The young eunuch said, "Madam Wei suddenly has a stomachache and it's freezing outside, so she's waiting in the room in front."

Guo Lingxi asked in confusion: "They didn't go to the woodshed, but to the other courtyard over there."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have nothing to do with Concubine Jing. Do you really think that Concubine Jing would plot against me? Believe it or not, you took me to the woodshed and locked me up. When you come out, you will be knocked unconscious and thrown into the other courtyard. There is smoke in the room of the other courtyard. When Wei Ting is knocked unconscious, we will put you two on the same bed and let the Western Jin Emperor catch you in bed.

"Everyone in the Great Zhou knows how you feel about Wei Ting, and they also know that Wei Ting has always rejected you clearly. If something really happens, people will not think that Wei Ting kidnapped you, but will only think that you used drugs to plot against Wei Ting."

Guo Lingxi broke out in a cold sweat.

Su Xiaoxiao continued: "Of course, Concubine Jing also underestimated Wei Ting. Wei Ting will not be fooled."

Sure enough, the young eunuch asked Wei Ting to go in, but Wei Ting refused.

Then Wei Ting threw the little eunuch in.

Guo Lingxi murmured, "So...it still won't work."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "It would work if we change another man. Anyway, according to the original plan, you are unconscious in there, Wei Ting is gone, and Concubine Jing can find another man to come."

Guo Lingxi gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! I'm going to tell everyone about her affair with someone else!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said, "So you believed her advice because you saw her evidence? Wake up, there is no adulterer at all, he is just acting for you! As soon as you go to the emperor to complain, he will take off his pants to prove that he is a eunuch!"

Guo Lingxi was completely stunned.

Concubine Jing grew up in the Northern Yan Palace. She had opponents like Zhao Kangning and was engaged in intrigue all day long. Her level was much higher than Guo Lingxi.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't look at Guo Lingxi who was hit hard. What she really cared about was whether Concubine Jing was really targeting Guo Lingxi. Su Xiaoxiao walked out and met Wei Ting: "I'll tell you later."

Wei Ting glanced at Guo Lingxi and his servant behind her and said, "Okay."

The group returned to Chongming Hall.

The Emperor of Western Jin had already arrived, and Concubine Jing was sitting in a seat slightly below him.

There was singing and dancing in the hall, and toasts were clinking.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting and Guo Lingxi come in safely, a trace of surprise and disappointment flashed across Concubine Jing's eyes. She quickly lowered her eyes to hide the fleeting emotion.

Guo Lingxi glared at her with a cold face, then went to sit on the other side of the Western Jin Emperor.

Everyone felt Guo Lingxi's hatred for Concubine Jing, but no one doubted it. After all, the relationship between Great Zhou and Northern Yan was already hostile, and the two of them were both princesses who had to compete for favor, so it was normal for them to dislike each other.

The banquet continues.

After the graceful dancers finished their dance, all the candles in the hall were suddenly extinguished, and a group of men wearing ghost masks, red robes and holding torches rushed in.

This is a blessing dance performed by men.

Darkness, torches, ghost masks, blood-red robes... filled with mystery and taboos.

Everyone was attracted, including the three little ones who were munching on candied haws.

"Wow."

They had never seen such a weird dance before, and they were so fascinated by it that they even forgot to eat their candied haws.

Everyone was watching the performance intently, and when the dance was over, everyone's hearts were deeply shaken and it took them a long time to recover.

The figure of the lead dancer seemed somewhat familiar. When the Emperor of Western Jin Dynasty shouted "good", he bowed and took off the mask on his face.

If it’s not Feng Xiaoran, then who else could it be?

Everyone looked at Yuwen Xi.

Yu Wenxi frowned: "It's not my arrangement."

In fact, ever since Feng Xiaoran abandoned her in the imperial study last time, he had no contact with her anymore.

Feng Xiaoran clasped his fists and bowed: "I just performed a blessing dance for your majesty and the Western Jin Dynasty. In addition, I would like to present your majesty with an elixir of immortality."

"Oh?" The Emperor of Western Jin became interested.

Walk down the steps in person with my father-in-law.

Feng Xiaoran handed a tonic pill in a brocade box to Eunuch He.

The Emperor of Western Jin also thought that it was arranged by Yuwen Xi. He looked at Yuwen Xi with admiration, and Yuwen Xi frowned.

Feng Xiaoran smiled and said, "Now, please allow me to present the last great gift to your majesty."

"Anything else?" For the sake of the elixir of immortality, the Emperor of Western Jin Dynasty became more friendly towards Feng Xiaoran.

Feng Xiaoran took out a portrait from his wide sleeves and opened it in public.

Everyone looked closely.

Wei Ting's eyes darkened.

Yuwen Lin curled his lips and said, "What? Isn't this a portrait of Mr. Zhuge? But you seem to have made him a little fatter."

Feng Xiaoran smiled coldly and glanced at Zhuge Qing in the wheelchair: "Third Prince, the person in the portrait is not Zhuge Qing, but the second son of the Wei family... Wei Qing!"

It's true that my updates are not too many, and I can't compete with those big update guys, but don't say that I have never updated and am not qualified to ask for monthly votes. Let's not even talk about whether asking for monthly votes and updating are equal. I updated 9,000 the day before yesterday, 7,000 yesterday, and nearly 8,000 today. I update every day, but they are not divided into chapters.
