Chapter 288
Princess Changping was full of thoughts
-Didn’t speak along the way, keeping her pretty face sullen
Ling Jingshu led the way and soon arrived at the Peony Room
Without looking back, Princess Changping instructed the palace maids behind her, “The few of you retire first, without my summons, you may not approach the Peony Room by half a step”
After thinking about it, she added, “Also, no idle people are allowed to approach”
Several palace maids answered in unison, and quickly retreated, guarding several intersections
Princess Changping often went in and out of the Pepper Room Hall, and was no stranger to the peony room After a brief survey, she smiled and praised, “It’s really appropriate for you to take care of this peony room
This year’s peonies are blooming exceptionally well, far better than previous years!”Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment”
Ling Jingshu humbly responded, “When I was in the boudoir, I loved planting flowers and raising plants
When I entered the Pepper Room Hall as an official, I was honored by the Empress Mother’s esteem and gave the Peony Room to me
How could I not do my best”
Princess Changping had just been scolded, mentioning Empress Xu, there was some lingering anger, lightly hummed: “Alright, there is no one else here, just the two of us
You don’t have to say these words against your will anymore”You’re in the Ling family well and truly being a lady’s daughter, free and easy with no worries about food and clothing
With a single word from Mother, she called you into the palace as an official
-Women officials sound better in reputation, but they’re still not slave maids serving people”
Ling Jingshu: ” “Ling Jingshu didn’t expect Princess Changping to be so outspoken, neither could she nod her head in agreement, nor did she want to deny it against her will, so she didn’t say anything
Princess Changping saw Ling Jingshu acquiesced, not only did she not get annoyed, instead she spread her eyebrows and smiled, “I really didn’t look at you wrong
You are much better than those who wear masks all day long and only greet and flatter people
To be honest, I’m not in a good mood today, and I’m looking for you because I want to talk to you to relieve my boredom
If you had been so obsequious and without any opinions, I would have turned around and left a long time ago”
Ling Jingshu vaguely guessed what Princess Changping was going to say, her eyes flickered slightly and she smiled, “If Your Highness has something to say, there is no harm in saying it
Your servant girl cannot help Your Highness, but she can at least be a listener
What Your Highness said today, the slave girl will also never mention it to anyone”
Princess Changping had a smile in her eyes, “Your temperament is quite to my liking
It’s just a pity that mother has already summoned you to the palace, otherwise, I would have summoned you to the princess’ residence to accompany me”
Worthy of being mother and daughter!
Speaking and acting in the same style, with an air of exclusivity!
Ling Jingshu’s heart was kind, but on her face, she revealed a helplessly apologetic smile, “Your Highness don’t make fun of the slave girl
-Changping Princess held a full stomach of words, but also did not have the heart to joke for fun, frowned and sighed: “Other people look at me, I must think that I was born a golden branch of the status of noble, happy and carefree life
In fact, born in the royal born to be a princess, I also have many helpless places”Take my marriage for example
Back then, Mother insisted on choosing a man from the Xu family to be the emperor’s son-in-law
That Xu Qian was born mediocre and stupid, I felt disgusted when I looked at him, how could he be worthy of me
Unfortunately, the Empress insisted on it, so I couldn’t resist and had to marry him”
Ling Jingshu casually echoed a few sentences under her breath, but secretly sneered in her heart
Princess Changping is dissatisfied with the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, living alone in the Princess’s mansion, keeping male pets all day long, wantonly taking pleasure in debauchery, living an extravagant life
This kind of debauchery and capricious, ordinary boudoir gold is afraid to think about it
In this way, Princess Changping also have the face to complain about whining?I want to divorce Xu Qian!”
Princess Changping suddenly popped out an unexpected sentence!
Ling Jingshu didn’t need to pretend that she was surprised, “Your Highness, you can’t just say something like that”
Princess Changping snorted lightly and said with a gloomy face, “I’ve had this in mind for a long time, it’s not just a casual remark
At the beginning of the year, when I went to the palace to pay my respects, I talked to the Empress Mother about this matter, and the Empress Mother was furious and scolded me
I thought to myself, first let the mother have a psychological preparation
When I bring it up again a few months apart, the Empress Mother might nod her head in agreement”I didn’t expect that when I entered the palace today and just brought up this topic, the Empress Mother became furious
She even threw the tea bowl in her hand at my feet”
The more Princess Changping spoke, the more indignant she became, full of grievances, pointing to some marks on the hem of her skirt, she said, “Look, my newly made dress was splattered with tea”Your Highness don’t get angry first, please listen to the slave girl’s words”
Ling Jingshu weighed her words and spoke gently to comfort her, “The matter of reconciliation is by no means trivial
Your Highness has a noble status, and Xu extra horse harnessed by the side of a team is the Empress’ nephew
Such a big matter cannot be taken lightly”The Empress Mother’s outburst was also caused by a moment of anger
Her Highness must be well aware of your Highness’s suffering in her heart
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed Her Highness to live alone in the Princess Mansion”
This was also true
Although the Empress Mother often criticized her on weekdays, she didn’t really restrain her temperament in the end
Otherwise, how could she have such a free and cozy day!
The look on Princess Changping’s face eased a bit
Ling Jingshu didn’t move and said, ”Your Highness lives in the Princess’s residence, and on weekdays, she and her extra horse harnessed by the side of a team get together less and more often
With Xu extra horse harnessed by the side of a team’s side, I think he wouldn’t dare to interfere in Your Highness’s life
Since this is the case, why does Your Highness have to be divorced?”
Princess Changping’s face actually flashed a trace of shyness similar to that of a young girl, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, “That’s all, I won’t hide it from you
In the past, I didn’t insist on divorce because I didn’t meet a man I liked, so I just muddled through
But now, I already have a man of my choice
I want to call him as my emperor’s son-in-law!
Therefore, I must divorce Xu Qian!”
A love interest?
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flashed with ridicule and mockery, but her face showed a curious expression, “I wonder who that lucky man is?
How could he win Your Highness’s favor?”
A strange color flashed in Princess Changping’s eyes, “You are also familiar with that man
He is your first cousin Lu Hong!”
This was indeed the case!
Lu Hong had hooked up with Princess Changping in his previous life, and he had come to the capital ahead of time in this life, and it still ended the same way
Anger and resentment welled up in Ling Jingshu’s heart, souring for the self that had foolishly waited for her husband’s return in her previous life
Seeing that Ling Jingshu did not say anything, Princess Changping looked over with some surprise: “Why don’t you say anything?
Are you too surprised?”
This was not the time to go off on a tangent, one had to deal with Princess Changping first
Ling Jingshu quickly came back to her senses and smiled apologetically, “Yes, when the slave girl heard about this matter at first glance, her heart was really a bit stunned”
After a pause, she smiled again and said, “However, on second thought, Cousin Lu’s family is young and talented, handsome and elegant
Your Highness and the Princess are indeed a very compatible pair”
