Xiao Linglang drooped her eyebrows slightly. She didn't hear clearly what Tuoba Jin said. She just said "hmm" casually and stopped talking.

Tuoba Jin thought the girl was just tired, and after making sure that she didn't smell of alcohol, he pulled Xiao Linglang back to the inner hall.

The next day, when Xiao Linglang was getting dressed, she casually asked Qinghan when she was talking to her, "When is the Wolf Lord's birthday?"

Qinghan stopped what she was doing and thought for a moment. "The Wolf Master rarely mentions him. I remember a maid mentioned him when I was in the mansion. Madam Ru gave birth to the Wolf Master after a day and a night on the twelfth day of the winter month in the Jiaxu year."

Qinghan's voice gradually became smaller. She observed carefully and leaned over to Xiao Linglang's ear and warned, "If your majesty wants to celebrate Wolf Lord's birthday, forget it. Your majesty should cherish Wolf Lord's friendship. Wolf Lord's birthday is a taboo in the palace. When Wolf Lord was still alive, King Jing was made the crown prince."

At this point, Qinghan looked at Xiao Linglang. From the bottom of her heart, she hoped that her master would be favored, and the future young lady would also be able to please the Wolf Lord. However, there was a cruel rule in the Mobei royal court that if a son is noble, the mother dies. No matter who the Wolf Lord favored, all the successive Wolf Lords would follow this ancestral precept.

"And then?" When Xiao Linglang saw Qinghan stop talking, curiosity arose in his eyes. Could it be that Tuoba Jin had usurped his brother's throne?

Qinghan pursed her lips, raised her eyelids, and finally whispered, "Because after King Jing was appointed as the crown prince, some other things happened, such as the anniversary of the lady's death and the Wolf Lord's birthday on the same day, so it's better for the queen not to mention this in front of the Wolf Lord."

Xiao Linglang nodded, "Have you and Shan Zhi been in the palace all this time?"

Qinghan and Shanzhi shook their heads. "Shanzhi and I have been in the mansion for less than two years. We still follow the instructions of the steward on this matter. We are afraid that we will displease the Wolf Master."

Less than two years after entering the palace, Xiao Linglang stroked the embroidery on the waistband with her fingertips. "I thought you had been in the palace all along. I wanted to get to know him better."

She pulled the corners of her lips slightly, lowered her head in shame, and murmured sheepishly: "I made the Wolf Lord unhappy last night and pissed him off for a long time."

Shan Zhi had a look of disbelief on her face, with a look of reproach in her eyes, and she spoke quickly, "How did your Majesty offend the Wolf Lord again? No wonder the Wolf Lord looked so gloomy today."

Wasn't everything fine when you came back yesterday? She stared at Xiao Linglang in confusion.

Qinghan frowned slightly, glanced at her, looked at Xiao Linglang and gently comforted her: "Madam, don't listen to her. Let me tell you, you and the wolf master have to live together, so there will inevitably be friction. Madam, can you tell me the reason?"

Xiao Linglang nodded slightly, bit her lip and looked at Qinghan, hesitatingly and slowly telling her the reason.

After saying this, his face felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Qinghan smiled and shook her head after hearing this. She thought that the Queen and the Wolf Lord were really having a fight, but it was just a flirtation between husband and wife.

While combing Xiao Linglang's hair with a jade comb, she smiled and said, "The Wolf Lord and the Queen have a really good relationship, just like ordinary people. The Queen doesn't have to worry. If the Queen is worried and afraid that the Wolf Lord will be angry, why not coax him?"

Xiao Linglang twisted her fingers and said "hmm" softly, "Then do you know what he likes?"

Shan Zhi replied, "I think that as long as it is made by the queen, the wolf master will like it."

Xiao Linglang looked at Shan Zhi and blinked, then her gaze fell on Qinghan.

Qing Wan frowned and thought carefully. There were many things that the Wolf Lord didn't like, but it was hard to say what he liked.

Suddenly she paused, and looked at Xiao Linglang who was looking at her eagerly, "Wolf Lord, please your majesty."

"Don't tease me." Xiao Linglang's cheeks turned red to her ears, and she glared at Qinghan shyly.

He stood up from the stool, took two steps, and then came to Qinghan's side. He looked away and said in a muffled voice, "Doesn't he like anything else? Food, clothes, etc.? Does he like listening to the piano?"

"The Wolf Master is not particular about food, as long as it is edible. As for clothing, I can't say anything, but I know that the Wolf Master doesn't like bright colors. As for listening to the zither..." Qinghan scratched her head, "Maybe the Wolf Master likes the sound of drums and horns..."

Xiao Linglang raised an eyebrow. It was really difficult to use him to extract information.

"There are many new and interesting things in my warehouse, maybe he will like them." He held his chin with his hand and sighed, then stretched his waist beside the windowsill. He should be finishing his morning court session at this time, and Xiao Linglang's newly bright mood was once again overshadowed by dark clouds.

Qinghan brought some tea and snacks, and followed up on her question, "What does the queen like?"

Xiao Linglang counted on her fingers, "I am greedy. I like a lot of things. I like sweet and sticky cakes the most. As for clothes, I don't care, but I like to look pretty."

She rubbed her nose shyly, her eyes moved, and she supported her hands on the desk, saying softly, "These are not worth putting in the warehouse. When the Wolf Lord takes me back in the future, I will give you one. Daddy loves jade carvings, calligraphy and paintings, and he gave me half of the warehouse. These are all my favorite jades."

Thinking of something, he shrugged his nose. That man was definitely a scoundrel. How could he use jade to make that thing?

Snorting inwardly, she covered her lips and said teasingly, "I guess the Wolf Lord's storehouse should be full of cold and fierce-looking weapons. Sister Rao Shuang said that the Wolf Lord has many fine weapons. Compared with the Wolf Lord, the ones I like are all vulgar things."

Shan Zhi's eyes flashed with contempt, and she said, "How can jade be vulgar? Your Majesty, you are joking. If Your Majesty gives the jade carving to appease the Wolf Lord, it is also a good idea."

"Don't give your majesty any advice, or you might upset the Wolf Lord." Qinghan rejected it immediately, then looked at Xiao Linglang and said softly, "Your majesty, please say something soft to the Wolf Lord and follow his heart. The Wolf Lord won't be angry with you. The jade carving needs to leave the palace, and the Wolf Lord may not be happy if he knows about it."

Seeing the two people arguing, Xiao Linglang immediately pulled one of them with each hand, and especially pressed Shan Zhi, who was blushing from the argument, and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."

"Empress!" Qinghan frowned and looked at Xiao Linglang, and then she became even more dissatisfied with Shan Zhi's performance today.

What if the Queen follows Shan Zhi's words and really offends the Wolf Lord?

Shan Zhi puffed up her cheeks, feeling inexplicably annoyed, and stiffened her neck to the side.

Xiao Linglang felt a little headache and pinched her brows. Why did everyone have a bad temper? They would get angry after just a few words.

How can I get her to say that?

She looked at Shanzhi, then at Qinghan, "Don't be angry, you are all doing this for my own good, I know."

Shanzhi and Qinghan nodded at the same time. Qinghan softened first, looked at Shanzhi with a complicated look, then lowered her eyes to Xiao Linglang.

"My lady, I was wrong."

"Qinghan is doing this for my own good. Both of you are right."

Xiao Linglang smiled secretly in her heart, her eyes swept up and down gently, and fell on Qinghan carefully.

She could stay with Qinghan for a while longer, she would know more and she wouldn't hurt her.
