Chapter 1705 Concubine (21)

It was rumored that when Feng Yan was going to marry Sima Yan, the many officials in the upper court and the noble ladies in the circle below did not dare to get too close to Mrs. Feng and Feng Yan. Waiting to see how General Feng's mansion fell.

But now, Feng Yan married a servant in the mansion, and even the marriage was done quietly in her own yard.

After seeing Mrs. Feng and Feng Yan, these noble ladies were all smiling, gentle and friendly, but they didn't think that Feng Yan's marriage status was low...

Mrs. Feng chatted with a few noble ladies, and Xia Ling sat aside with the familiar ladies.

She was idle and bored, watching the noble girls scheming, stepping on each other, how they stepped on others to praise themselves, and how they talked to Xia Ling tenderly while holding back their contempt, ridicule and sympathy, with irrepressible emotions superiority...

Looking at them, Xia Ling felt like watching the crickets fight back and forth. He found it very interesting and relieved the boredom.

It's just that the tea party was halfway through, and an unexpected guest came outside.

"Miss Feng, my prince has an invitation."

The eunuch beside Sima Suo came to the pavilion respectfully and saluted.

Following him, all the noble ladies saw Sima Lian.

Dressed in brocade and green shirts, Sima Li looked a little melancholy, handsome and thin, standing by the rockery on the other side of the lake.

Apricot blossoms, spring rain, green shirts are thin. This beautiful poem can probably explain the visual beauty that Sima Lian brings to people.

"Feng Yan, don't you really have something to do with the fourth prince? Why don't you know each other well? He doesn't look for anyone, but just looks for you among us?" the noble girl said enviously.

"Speak carefully!" Xia Ling turned coldly, "You don't know what a crime it is to talk about the royal family, but don't everyone present know?"

Talking about the royal family indiscriminately is a crime that can be committed repeatedly. To put it seriously, those who participated in it will be put in prison.

Xia Ling's words silenced the ladies in the pavilion.

"Eunuch, please lead the way." Xia Ling got up and left the pavilion with the eunuch.

Under the eyes of everyone, Sima Lian came to invite in public, if she refused in public and did not give Sima Li face, in the eyes of others, it was the general's mansion not showing face to the royal family.

The General's Mansion must not be charged with this crime!

"Yes, Miss Feng, please come with us." The eunuch smiled.

Xia Ling came to the side of the rockery, and Sima Yan's eyes slowly lifted from the center of the lake, and fell on Xia Ling's face.

Pain, doubt, incomprehension.

These emotions surfaced in turn in his beautiful eyes, and finally turned into a question.

"Yan'er, the promise of Baishoutongxin, why did you and I become like this?"

"Your wife doesn't want to, Fourth Prince." Xia Ling looked at him without any hesitation, "My wife is just a girl, and was arrested by someone sent by my father. After that, I have no choice but to choose."

After a pause, Xia Ling was the first to win.

"Fourth prince, you asked why the minister betrayed you, but the minister was so bold that she wanted to turn around and ask the fourth prince why you and I eloped. Only you know and I know, and the people in the general's mansion know. After returning to the General’s Mansion, the news of the minister’s wife eloping with the Fourth Prince spread to the market instead, forcing Dad to marry the minister’s wife to the servants of the mansion to save the minister’s wife?”

"How could it be?" Sima Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Feng Yan to dare to ask him face to face like this, let alone the truth of the matter.

"What is it? How could it be?" Xia Lingmei had a smile on her face, which made Sima Yan panic.
