Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 358 Lingwei

Suzaku Hall.

"Mother, where is my sister?"

"She heard that you were going to the palace, so she ran to Zhaozheng Hall to block you. Didn't you run into her?"

The fourth prince Qin Mingyun shook his head and sat down.

"Mother, I heard something happened in the palace. Is my seventh brother in trouble?"

Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe was silent for a moment and nodded.

"None of our business."

Qin Mingyun nodded, as long as his mother didn't get involved.

To attack the concubines in the palace and spread rumors afterwards, there must have been someone in the palace who helped to carry out and clean up the mess.

If my mother, because of the conflict with Imperial Concubine Yi, added fuel to the fire and made things worse for the Seventh Prince, she must have been involved intentionally or unintentionally.

Whether it's spreading rumors or something else, if it's caught, it won't be impossible to defend yourself or clear yourself of the blame, but you will definitely get into trouble.

I don’t know which of his brothers attacked an innocent woman. This move is too despicable.

Meng Xinghe added dried fruits to the cake, poured jam on it, and handed it to Qin Mingyun.

"Try it, do you like it?"

Meng Xinghe looked at her son Qin Mingyun, who had just returned to the palace after his first business trip outside the capital. Now he was a tall and handsome young man, and she suddenly felt a little dazed. She realized that she had been in this world for twenty years.

It has been a long time since such a horrific case happened in the palace, but there are undercurrents beneath the calm waters, and it is not calm at all.

Ever since she got her hands on the palace power, she often had to deal with the Palace Department, which was mainly composed of palace ladies and female officials, and the Internal Affairs Department, which was mainly composed of eunuchs and servants.

The palace servants and eunuchs below had been fighting each other for a little power and money all year round. Although Meng Xinghe was no longer surprised by this, the case of burning a concubine in broad daylight in full view of the public was still beyond her scope.

That's too arrogant.

However, her only daughter is less than ten years old, and her eldest son has gone out of the capital on business. She only needs to guard her Suzaku Palace and not be implicated.

It won’t be too late to review it after the dust has settled.

"Where is Lingwei?"

Mingyun has been here for quarter of an hour, why hasn't Lingwei come back yet?

Meng Xinghe immediately summoned the palace servants to look for her, and soon the servants came back to report.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Princess ran into Lady Lu on her way to Zhaozheng Palace, and she went to Linguang Palace with Lady Lu."

Before Meng Xinghe could tell the palace servants, he heard the fourth prince Qin Mingyun chuckle and complain, "Linguang Palace is so much fun. My sister has forgotten about me again, mother."

"When you were young, you lived in the Linguang Palace of Lu Shang Palace for a while. At that time, you didn't like to come back and said that the water in Linguang Palace was sweet. Now you still say that Lingwei doesn't want your brother. At that time, you didn't even want your mother."

Meng Xinghe joked.

Lu Lingyu is a time traveler with a golden finger. At the beginning, the Fourth Prince and she went to Linguang Palace to recuperate for a period of time because of poisoning. After being in close contact with each other, Meng Xinghe quickly discovered the other party's identity as a time traveler.

But Meng Xinghe did not want to recognize him, instead he hid himself even more tightly.

I have a golden finger and am a trusted tool of His Majesty. If they recognize each other, I will definitely be the one who suffers. Who knows how much information Lu Lingyu has entrusted to His Majesty in order to become a lady-in-waiting who can enter and leave the palace freely.

When fellow villagers meet, the possibility of being sold out is as high as 99%.

However, Meng Xinghe was happy to see his daughter like to contact Lu Lingyu.

Lin Guang Palace.

"Lu Shanggong, are there really immortals in this world? Where are they? I want to become an immortal, too."

Qin Lingwei, the eighth princess born to Meng Xinghe, followed Lu Lingyu closely.

She was wearing a lavender fairy dress outlined by silver threads, and her appearance and temperament were as radiant as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon. She was not even old enough to wear golden hairpins, but she was already so fairy-like and beautiful, which made Lu Lingyu feel overwhelmed.

I am sorry but I am not interested.

She hid outside the palace, and occasionally went into the palace to pay her respects to His Majesty. As soon as she stepped out of the gate of Zhaozheng Hall, she was grabbed by the Eighth Princess.

Did Qin Lingwei send someone to keep an eye on her at the palace gate?

She just wanted to go to the palace on a whim, but she was blocked?

"Lu Shanggong, how much of the story you told me is true and how much is false? How did you know about those immortals?"

"They are all stories. I made them up."

Lu Lingyu's eyes widened as he spoke weakly.

I should have known not to tell her any fairy tales.

"But the knowledge of Lu Shanggong... doesn't seem to be enough to support such a grand story background and character setting. Lu Shanggong, don't try to fool me just because I'm young. Have you ever met an immortal?"

Qin Lingwei blinked her starry eyes twice and tilted her head.

"You discovered it. Actually, I met a female fairy when I was a child. She told me that if I cultivate my mind, practice, and cultivate the Tao in this mortal world, I should be able to study the principles of everything in the world, do more good deeds, and one day I will become a fairy."

Lu Lingyu talked nonsense in a serious manner.

"Your Highness, many things can only be understood intuitively. It all depends on whether you have the ability to comprehend. You have to walk this path yourself."

Qin Lingwei shook his head thoughtfully.

“If I don’t have enough understanding, can I ask the crowd to help me?

I am a princess. My second sister wants to study Taoism, so my father gathered talented people to help her. Lu Shanggong, you tell me, I ask my father to gather all the Taoists in the world to study the principles of everything and blaze a trail together. Is that okay?"

"What the hell?!"
