Chapter 1967: 2054
Author: Thirteen pure onesMachine Translation
Xia Ling was given to Gu Yan by the Minister of Rites.
Now that Xia Ling was favored, the Lady of the Minister of Rites gave her money. On the surface and behind her back, she was hinting to Xia Ling that she wanted to move her master's position.
Xia Ling would accept anyone's money, except for the Minister of rites'money.
The Minister of Rites was greatly offended by her. In the entire capital circle, people began to say that Xia Ling came from Xia country. They said she was a dancer, but in fact, she was a princess. She was a spy sent by Xia country to Gu Yan.
Xia Ling did not care.
Anyway, a concubine lived in the imperial residence because Gu Yan doted on her.
When Gu Yan stopped doting on her, her good days would come to an end.
And why did she tie a man's heart?
Cook Sweeten her sleeves?
Xia Ling had done all these before, but she did not cook often.
She was not a cook, nor was she a maidservant. It was enough for her to cook once in a while.
Therefore, Xia Ling did not do much in front of Gu Yan when she was out in the world. She just said what she wanted to say. Whoever gave her gifts, she dared to accept them without any harm. Those who refused would touch Gu Yan's bottom line.
Xia Ling was smart and quick-witted as she kept pacing back and forth on Gu Yan's bottom line.
When others looked at her, they only thought that she had nothing good except for her face. She was timid, influential, and seductive.
As for Xia Ling... ...
She was so happy that others thought of her that way. Wasn't this a way of praising her beauty?
If she followed Gu Yan, what else could she do besides being beautiful?
Did she think that she died too slowly and tried her best to show off how intelligent she was to compete with Gu Yan for a job?
Xia Ling lived a comfortable life.
She loved all beautiful clothes, gold, silver, and jewelry. Every month, she would call for the Best ready-to-wear shop in the capital twice.
In terms of makeup and dressing, the wives of all the princes in the capital were inferior to her.
The same clothes were already outstanding on her. After she tidied them up herself, her appearance, which was 90% of the color, became 120% beautiful.
She did not look at the Gu Manor carriage she was riding in. During the banquet, the gazes of many men were glued to her body.

Autumn arrived in a flash.
After a few days, the Xia Kingdom would send an envoy to the Zhou Kingdom to pay tribute.
It was said that the envoy sent by the Xia Kingdom this time was the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom, Xia Li.
Xia Ling smiled. From the selection of the envoy, she could feel that the Xia kingdom's intentions were not simple.
Xia Li was the son of the prince, two years older than Xia Ling. In the Xia Kingdom, he had grown up with Xia Ling. They were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship could not be better.
Back then, Emperor Xia had intended to arrange a marriage between Xia Li and Xia Ling. Who would have thought that after the five kingdoms'turmoil, he would take the opportunity to send Xia Ling to the Zhou Kingdom, pretending that Xia Ling had gone missing unexpectedly.
When Madam Xia's reputation spread, the people of the State of Xia naturally knew that Xia Ling had fallen into the State of Zhou and even became Gu Yan's beloved concubine.
So..
Xia Li had been sent here on purpose. Was it because the state of Xia wanted her to do something Or was it because they wanted to play some tricks later on?
Xia Ling had previously pretended to be innocent and asked Gu Yan to investigate Bai Cui and Hu Ping on her own.
Bai Cui had followed orders and Hu Ping had been involved with the people of the state of Xia. Xia Ling did not need to tell Gu Yan about these things. Gu Yan had dealt with them, so she already knew in her heart.
Xia Ling never did anything unnecessary.
For example, if she became this beloved concubine, she could be spoiled and arrogant, but she would not touch anything that was truly related to the interests of the regent prince's residence.
Hu Ping was sent to a village in the countryside. Hu Guang hated her and was also staring at her.

It was getting cold.
When Xia Ling was looking for someone to make ready-made clothes, she thought of Gu Yan and found an opportunity to look for him in the front yard.
