Chapter 18 Mo Lingyun, I am not Lin Ling

Seeing that it was the white lotus coming, Feng Xiyao took a few steps back.

Lin Baoning is stupid, but Lin Ling is very scheming, so I have to be careful.

Lin Ling just saluted Feng Xiyao in Shoukang Palace because the emperor and the empress dowager were there. Now that there is no one around, she certainly won't be polite to her.

Just like Lin Baoning said, she is just an empty shell in the palace, without any power, so who would be afraid of her?

Lin Ling came over and stood in front of Lin Baoning, looked behind Feng Xiyao, and said sarcastically, "Why, the Queen wants to use mice to scare my sister again!"

Feng Xiyao folded her hands and smiled: "Did you see what I'm holding?"

"Queen, don't think that the Emperor likes you. You are just a woman relying on the title of Queen. Don't take yourself too seriously!"

Compared with Lin Baoning, Lin Ling is indeed more likely to make people angry, but he won't yell or scream. People like him are not easy to deal with.

Feng Xiyao chuckled: "You also said that I am the empress, even if it is only in name. Otherwise, why don't you think someone else, or Concubine Li, is the empress?"

Speaking of this, Lin Baoning was so angry. Originally, the position of queen belonged to her, but it was snatched away by Feng Xiyao, a woman who suddenly appeared.

Lin Ling patted her excited sister in comfort and continued, "So what if you are the queen? My sister is the one who helps manage the six palaces. You are nothing in front of us!"

"No, no, no, you are wrong!" Feng Xiyao shook her head.

Lin Ling raised her eyes and wanted to say something, but she was slapped hard in the face.

“Pah~~”

The sound was very loud, and you could imagine how much effort Feng Xiyao put in.

Lin Ling has always boasted that her looks are unmatched in Shangjing, and she cares a lot about her face. She was stunned by a slap from Feng Xiyao.

"Feng Xiyao, you, you, you, how dare you!"

When Raymond Lam saw his sister being beaten, he stood up and was about to fight back, but was pushed away by Feng Xiyao.

"I, I, I dare, what can you do?"

As she spoke, the smile on her face deepened: "Lin Ling, see, this is the reason, I can hit you, but you can't fight back!"

After saying that, she still felt that she hadn’t angered the man enough, so she walked over to take a closer look, and then said murderously, “Oh, this delicate and tender flesh has been broken by me!”

She remembered that the book said that Lin Ling loved her face the most because the male protagonist said she was beautiful. In order to gain more love from the male protagonist, she had been taking good care of her face.

But she didn't know that the original male protagonist actually said this whenever he saw a woman with a bit of good looks.

“Ah~~”

Sure enough, when Lin Ling heard the skin on her face being broken, she let out a loud woodchuck scream and then turned and ran away.

Lin Baoning glared fiercely at Feng Xiyao who was laughing so hard that she was bent over backwards, and ran after Lin Ling.

Having dealt with two at once, Feng Xiyao clapped her hands in satisfaction. Then, she walked towards Fengchun Palace with her hands behind her back, looking very proud and heroic, like a victorious rooster.

In the palace.

Zhang Luoyi looked at the small carp swimming around in the pond with an expressionless face.

The maid came over and reported: "Princess, the prince went to the palace to see the queen mother today, and he may not be back for dinner tonight!"

"He went there by himself?" Her face was still expressionless.

The maid didn't know how to answer for a moment. It seemed that her princess rarely smiled since she married into the palace. She pursed her lips out of distress, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know how.

The prince dislikes the princess, and this is no longer a secret in the entire palace. In the past, some courageous maids even openly gave the princess a cold look.

After thinking for a while, the maid said honestly: "The prince entered the palace with...Miss Lin Ling!"

Zhang Luoyi thought she had given up on him, but hearing this, she still felt hurt.

She hid the tears in her eyes, signaled the maid to go down first, and stood alone under the pavilion.

In order to prevent Mo Lingyun from going back to find Lin Ling, the Queen Mother kept him until after dinner before letting him leave.

As soon as Mo Lingyun left the palace, he headed home without stopping. It was the first time that he was so eager to go home and see his neglected wife.

When they returned to the palace, it was almost dark. Mo Lingyun grabbed the servants in the palace and asked impatiently, "Where is the princess now?"

The servant shook his head in confusion: "I don't know!"

Mo Lingyun was about to get angry, but suddenly he remembered that the people in the palace knew that he didn't like the princess, so few people paid attention to her. It was normal that they didn't know.

Thinking of this, he let go of the servant, turned around and left in a hurry.

When we found Zhang Luoyi, we saw her standing alone under the pavilion. The cold autumn wind was blowing on her frail body, and her petite figure looked so lonely.

Thinking about how she had been enduring like this despite his indifference towards her over the past two years, he clenched his hands in anger, not knowing whether he was mad at himself for always ignoring her or was worried that she would ignore him in the future.

Feeling a cloak covering him, Zhang Luoyi thought it was put on by the maid Mingyue and smiled helplessly.

"You don't have to come all the way here, I'll be back in a minute!"

Listening to her sweet and pretending to be happy voice, Mo Lingyun felt sad.

When she first married him, he could see that she was a very lively girl, who came to talk to him tirelessly every day, although most of the time he had a sour face and didn't even respond to her.

But she was still as carefree as ever, coming to him with a smile, and telling him some funny stories from their childhood to make him happy.

Because her father favored concubines over his wives, she had never seen the world since she was a child. So after she was married into the palace by the order of the late emperor, she was curious about everything she saw and often made trouble in the palace, causing endless laughter.

He remembered that he said to her very coldly at that time: "If the princess really has nothing to do, just stay in your room and don't make trouble in the palace all day long!"

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists tightly.

Having not heard any sound behind him, Zhang Luoyi turned around, not wanting to be pulled into a gentle embrace.

“…”

Mo Lingyun hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

“…”

Feeling the warm embrace, Zhang Luoyi was stunned for a long time. When she came to her senses, she struggled hard.

"My Lord, let me go!"

“No!”

Mo Lingyun still held her tightly, his face buried in her fair neck.

After struggling for a while, seeing that he had not broken free, Zhang Luoyi gave up struggling and spoke coldly.

"Mo Lingyun, I'm not Lin Ling!"

These two words instantly pierced Mo Lingyun's heart.

In fact, they were not husband and wife. A year ago, he mistook her for Lin Ling when he was drunk and forced himself on her. After he sobered up, he hated her for breaking his promise to Lin Ling that they would be together for the rest of their lives.

From that time on, he rarely saw that bright and innocent smile on her face, and she became more well-behaved.
