The next day, Ape invited both of them to Zhanyue Residence.
Leng Xiao was dressed neatly and met them in the main hall.
Looking at the two of them, Leng Xiao stopped beating around the bush and said, "I called you here today because I want to ask your opinion on something. There is no room for a third person between me and the prince. You I don’t care about what you were planning before entering the East Palace. I believe you all know that some things cannot be done just by working hard this year. This is how we have lived this year, and this is how we will live in the future. You see, Do you still want to stay in the East Palace?"
Hong Lingling also knew that the Crown Princess would not summon them to Zhan Yue Residence unless something happened, so she was mentally prepared before coming. She was relatively sensitive to court affairs, and because the family was noble, some news came easily.
So she first expressed her position, "Princess, I can leave the East Palace, but I only ask you for one thing. I ask the Queen Mother to grant you the title of County Lord."
Hong Lingling is very practical. With her family's status, the position of county head is not compulsive.
Leng Xiao said: "I will try my best to ask the Queen Mother to reward you with this favor, but I can't guarantee it."
"As long as the Crown Princess is willing, she can do it." Hong Lingling insisted.
Leng Xiao tilted her head slightly, then looked at Qi Baixing, "What about you?"
Qi Baixing's mood was very complicated. It was good to be granted the title of county lord, but she was no longer innocent. After leaving the palace, she would marry as the county lord. Her husband's family would also be despised when they found out.
Moreover, the county head has no power, so what is the use of the monthly county head’s regular money?
Besides, does the fact that the Crown Princess is willing to give the position of County Lord prove that she can’t wait to drive them away?
Is there a problem between her and the prince?
"Huh?" Leng Xiao looked at her and asked again, "How did you decide?"
Qi Baixing knelt down slowly, her eyes red, "Princess, since I married into the East Palace, I will be the prince's person by birth, and I will be the prince's ghost after death. I don't want to leave."
"Bah!" Hong Lingling couldn't help but bah when she heard this.
Qi Baixing gritted her silver teeth secretly, not daring to say anything, but glanced at her with resentment.
Hong Lingling really wanted to tell what she had done, but she did not want to tell the Crown Princess because in her heart, the Crown Princess was always her biggest enemy.
Leng Xiao looked at Qi Baixing and said: "You are not the prince's person, and you will not be the prince's ghost after death. Don't say this again. If you are unwilling to leave the East Palace, I will not force you, but this is my last time." Let me ask you, when you want to leave in the future, you will not be qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"Princess," Qi Baixing bit his lip, raised his head and looked directly at Leng Xiao, seeming a bit provocative, "how can we negotiate terms for emotional matters? I have His Highness in my heart, so he will never look at me for the rest of his life. One glance and I followed him.”
Hong Lingling really couldn't stand listening anymore. Now that she had made a decision, she was an outsider. After listening to Qi Baixing's words, she felt that this silly woman probably thought that there was something wrong with the relationship between the prince and the princess, so she wanted to say these affectionate words to the prince. If she hears it, the prince will be moved by her.
madness.
"I have made my decision, and I am waiting for the good news from the Crown Princess." After she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
If she continued to listen, she was afraid that she would expose Qi Baixing on the spot. After exposing Qi Baixing, she would give the Crown Princess an excuse to kill Qi Baixing with a stick. She didn't want the Crown Princess to succeed.
Little did she know that as soon as she left Zhanyue Residence, she heard the Crown Princess's faint words, "The person you should follow is not the Crown Prince. I know what you have done, and you know it in your heart, so get out."
Qi Baixing was frightened, "What does the Crown Princess mean by this? I don't understand."
"Don't understand? Do you really want me to tell you?" Leng Xiao's tone was a bit mocking, "I won't tell you to save face."
Qi Baixing was extremely panicked, but thinking that the matter was so secret and no one else was present, she couldn't possibly know.
He was just trying to fool her with words.
