Jiaochu

Chapter 7 Tears reunited with old friends ([-])

Concubine Lan was leaning on the couch, lost in thought, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her beautiful face.

"Mother, are you thinking about your father?"

Ye Lingxi cradled herself into Lan Fei's arms like a kitten, blinking at her in an odd way.Concubine Lan's face turned red, she scolded slightly, raised her hand and poked Ye Lingxi's white and tender forehead. Ye Lingxi looked at that fresh and loving face, her heart ached, and tears fell, which shocked Concubine Lan. She immediately raised her hand to wipe her eyes and looked up at Concubine Lan with a bright smile.

"I want my mother-in-law to be so happy every day from now on."

When Concubine Lan heard such sensible words, her heart felt inexplicably sad, and her eyes flashed with tears, which shocked Ye Lingxi this time.

"Mother, please don't cry."

Ye Lingxi reached out to wipe Concubine Lan's tears, and Concubine Lan smiled and said, "As long as Lingxi can be safe, Concubine Mother will be very happy."

Ye Lingxi's heart felt sour again after hearing this, and when she was about to burst into tears, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Mother and concubine, I will go to the study room to study tomorrow, and my father asked Eunuch De to send me there."

Concubine Lan was a little surprised at first, and then warned: "Behave when you go to study there, and don't make the master angry."

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will not embarrass my father and you." Ye Lingxi said seriously.

Concubine Lan was amused and smiled, and asked Aunt Li to prepare pen and ink stationery for school.

After seeing Aunt Li leave, Ye Lingxi waved to Zhu'er, who was waiting at the side, to come over.

Zhu'er was a maid brought into the palace by Concubine Lan. After entering the palace, she was assigned an older maid like Aunt Li and eight maids and eunuchs.

Aunt Li has been in the palace for a long time, so she naturally understands people's hearts. In the previous life, Concubine Lan had great trust in her, and even Zhu'er was a little bit behind. Zhu'er felt a little unhappy because of this. After Concubine Lan was thrown into the cold palace, only Zhu'er stayed wholeheartedly. Aunt Li was entrusted by Concubine Lan to take care of Ye Lingxi. Concubine Lan originally wanted Zhu'er to come with her, but Zhu'er refused to leave no matter what she said. Instead, Aunt Li accepted the request. Later, when Concubine Lan was critically ill, On that night, Pearl desperately wanted to rush out of the palace gate and beg the emperor to come over. However, no matter how Pearl knelt down and begged, the guards refused to let him go, and even made sarcastic remarks. During the dispute, Pearl grabbed the guard's sword and wiped his neck on the spot. "Mother, if you have anything to do in the future, please leave it to Zhu'er. After all, Zhu'er is our own natal family, and we are close to each other. She is more reliable than Aunt Li."

Ye Lingxi's words hit Pearl's heart, and Pearl's eyes turned red as soon as her nose became sore.

Concubine Lan couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that Ye Lingxi said such humane and worldly words at such a young age, which was very different from the past. She saw that Zhu'er was about to swear and she quickly stopped her.

"Lingxi, are you hiding something from me?"

"Concubine, do you believe me?"

Concubine Lan saw that Ye Lingxi's eyes were firm, and she seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. She sighed softly, gently stroked Ye Lingxi's head and said, "Concubine I just want you to be safe."

"The child also wants his mother and concubine to be safe and sound." Ye Lingxi replied seriously.

Concubine Lan's heart was shocked and she was so touched that she couldn't help but burst into tears. Ye Lingxi quickly wiped her tears and comforted her: "Don't be sad, concubine. Lingxi has always been Lingxi, the concubine of the father and the emperor."

"Princess, Aunt Li is here." Pearl reminded in a low voice.

Although Concubine Lan didn't know why Ye Lingxi was worried about Aunt Li, she was not a confused person. She was a young lady from a scholarly family. She had read poetry and books since she was a child, and she had some understanding in her heart.

When Aunt Li came in, Concubine Lan hugged Ye Lingxi and told her to listen carefully to her master's lectures when going to school. The mother and daughter were enjoying themselves, and they could not tell what happened before.

Ye Lingxi only asked Concubine Lan to be wary of Aunt Li, but did not tell Concubine Xiao who was behind the scenes. Firstly, she was afraid that Concubine Lan would be worried and depressed, and she might get sick. Secondly, if Concubine Lan revealed something in front of Concubine Xiao, If you let him notice, there is no guarantee that the other party will not kill him.
