First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 415: Out of Place Su Jixiang

Wei Ling has a tall figure, like a Kunshan pine jade. Even though his skin is not as fair as the noble young men in the capital, it does not diminish the noble temperament that naturally emanates from him.

There was hardly any smile on his face, and he seemed a little absent-minded, even a little listless, but the aura that could not be ignored was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off him.

In addition, his appearance is extraordinary, and even if his eyes are just slightly turned to the side, there is a special feeling that makes people feel moved.

Princess Anle was used to seeing many noble sons surrounding her in the capital. Even though there were a few good-looking and smart ones, they looked as vulnerable as little chicks compared to Wei Ling in front of her.

She had never seen such a handsome man before. He had a unique aura of loneliness and a hint of murderous intent. Even though he exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers", he still attracted the attention of Princess Anle.

"What do you think? Say something!" Seeing her daughter staring intently, the eldest princess couldn't help but smile and nudged her with her hand, teasing.

"Oh, mother!" The girl finally came to her senses, her face burning. She stamped her feet and threw herself into the eldest princess's arms, "Look at you! How dare you ask someone like that!"

"Then what do you want me to ask you?" The eldest princess hugged her daughter and said with a smile, "Your uncle, the emperor, asked me to bring you to see him. If you like him, then this man is yours! What do you think? If you really don't like him, then I will go and tell your uncle, the emperor, on your behalf!"

"I like him!" The little girl became anxious when she heard her mother was going to refuse her uncle on her behalf. She stood up straight and said anxiously. Then she caught a glimpse of her mother's eyes with a sly smile. She immediately realized that she had been fooled. "Mom! Look at you!" She turned around and ran out.

The eldest princess' laughter came from behind her, making Princess Anle blush even more, and she disappeared in a flash.

"Go and follow your master." The eldest princess instructed Princess Anle's maid, and then looked in the direction of Wei Ling again.

She was quite satisfied with Wei Ling, her future son-in-law.

During the reign of the deposed emperor, although she had only visited the capital once while accompanying her father in his fiefdom, she had met the renowned prince of the Duke's Mansion. At that time, Wei Ling was still quite young, not having fully grown up, but already a charming and charming young man. Furthermore, Wei Ling had always been intelligent and studious, unlike the other children of noble families who were mischievous and overbearing. He held an excellent reputation among all the children of noble families!

A few days before Wei Ling returned to the capital, she was summoned into the palace by the current emperor, who talked to her about Wei Ling.

The current emperor really regretted that he had randomly assigned a palace maid to Wei Ling in order to prevent him from gaining power.

Now Wei Ling has no ties in the capital, and he can't control Wei Ling even if he wants to find something to control him.

At that time, she suggested that it would be better to recall Wei Ling's wife to the capital, but the current emperor said that the relationship between Wei Ling and his wife was not good.

His wife was obsessed with money and used Wei Ling's reputation to make a fortune in Mangcheng. Wei Ling had quarreled with his wife countless times because of this matter and even lost his temper at her in public.

Moreover, the two have been married for five years and have no children. It is obvious that Wei Ling is unwilling to enter his wife's room at all.

Therefore, even if he summoned Wei Ling's wife to the capital, he would probably not be able to control Wei Ling.

The current emperor consulted with the eldest princess to see if it is possible to grant Wei Ling a marriage to Princess Anle.

The current emperor's consideration is thorough. After all, the eldest princess's family is loyal to him, and his husband, Prince Cheng'en, has saved him time and time again. Now he has a lot of problems. Their family has only one son and one daughter, both of whom are blessed by the royal family and know how to be grateful.

If Princess Anle could be married to Wei Ling, it would mean that Wei Ling would become his nephew-in-law, and also his relative.

Moreover, Princess Anle was of noble status, and her looks were considered among the best among the noble ladies in the capital. She was also many years younger than Wei Ling. If she were really married to Wei Ling, he would probably treat Princess Anle like the apple of his eye. If Anle could agree, it would be the best thing.

So he asked the eldest princess to arrange this hairpin flower banquet, firstly to let Princess Anle see Wei Ling, and secondly to see whether the relationship between Wei Ling and Su Jixiang was as bad as the spies reported.

If Wei Ling created a series of illusions in order to protect Su Jixiang, it means that Wei Ling is already on guard against him. In that case, directly detaining Su Jixiang in the capital would be a good idea.

Su Jixiang and Wei Ling did not know the true meaning of the Hairpin Flower Banquet, they only came for the eldest princess's sake.

Su Jixiang also followed the principle of less trouble, so after entering the South Garden, she found a relatively secluded corner and sat down. It was a stone bench at the corner, and Lu Shui hurriedly put her cloak on the bench for Su Jixiang to prevent him from getting cold.

"It seems like we don't fit in!" After sitting down, Su Jixiang looked around and said to Lushui and Guihua in a low voice.

Both of them were secret guards before, but they had never participated in such a gathering. After all, they were still young at that time, and the secret guards who could accompany the Duke's wife and the young ladies to the banquet were older than them.

The two of them also looked around. "The main thing is that we don't know anyone here." Lu Shui smiled and said, "If Madam is willing to make some friends, it might be more interesting."

Su Jixiang waved his hands again. He was completely in the dark. If Qu Wanning could come today, he could find someone to talk to.

"Is this hairpin flower banquet just about strolling around the garden with flowers and chatting?" Su Jixiang had never participated in this kind of gathering. Before, she stayed in the cold palace in the capital and had never seen this kind of scene, so she asked curiously.

"I heard there will still be some activities." Lu Shui heard this from her former secret guard sister, "I just don't know what the princess has arranged."

"Come to think of it, the eldest princess hasn't shown up yet. Even if I want to pay my respects to her, I don't know where she is. This can't be considered as being rude, right?" Su Jixiang asked.

"It probably won't count." Guihua smiled and shook her head. "If the princess is coming later, she will definitely be informed. It won't be too late to pay her a visit then."

"That's good!" Su Jixiang nodded.

She looked around curiously, thinking that this gathering of nobles was really a bit boring...
