Chapter 123
A palace maid quietly walked into the inner hall and whispered two sentences in Mistress Ye’s ear
Female Officer Ye nodded and walked forward to report, ”Crown Princess, Imperial Doctor Wei has already finished administering needles to Duke Ling and left
Ling’s family came to thank him for his kindness and are waiting outside
I wonder if the Crown Princess wants to see them?”
If she didn’t want to see them, she could just find an excuse to send the Ling family away
The Crown Princess first frowned: “Not to be seen”
Without waiting for Mistress Ye to take orders, the Crown Princess suddenly changed her tone again, “Forget it, let them come in!”
Earlier, the Crown Prince had purposely gone to the guest room, and his attitude towards Ling Jingshu was quite kind
The situation at that time was naturally reported to the Crown Princess
Lady Ye led the order to retreat and soon led Ling Jingshu and the others in
The Crown Princess’s gaze fell on Ling Jingshu’s delicate and flawless face, and she secretly snorted in her heart
She was just a bit more beautiful, but she couldn’t really see any merit in the rest
How can she compare to Second Miss Su’s poetic and scholarly demeanor?
Nor can it compare to Miss Jiang San’s natural nobility
The first love of Ah Yao, was bewitched by this face
The crowd came forward together to salute
Jiang respectfully opened her mouth and said: ”Today we have come to the door and are much disturbed
Eunuch Wei has already applied needles and diagnosed A Xiao
We have specially come to thank the Crown Princess for her grace”
The Crown Princess smiled elegantly and reservedly, “A mere trifle, not enough to say thank you, and you are all too polite”To the Crown Princess, it is a trivial matter that is not enough to be thanked
To our siblings, it is a matter of the first importance”
Ling Jingshu stepped forward and sincerely thanked her, “Many thanks to the Crown Princess”
It was this pretense that had fooled Ah Yao
Now even the Crown Prince was on the verge of being mesmerized all together
The Crown Princess continued to snort coldly in her heart, but her face was amiable and cordial: “That’s all
Don’t pay attention to these false rituals, quickly get up!
Every few days, we have to come back to the door, if every time like this, you guys don’t mind getting tired, this palace also feels tired
In the future, you can just leave directly after applying the needles, there is no need to come to thank you for your kindness”
Waiting for these words
Ling Jingshu put on a grateful face and answered
The Crown Princess still had no intention of staying for dinner, and the crowd was naturally sensible
They immediately saluted and left
When they returned to the Ling family
It was just about lunchtime
Lunch has long been prepared
Sun did not rush to ask about this trip, first greeted Ling Jingshu and others to sit down and eat lunch
After lunch, they moved to the inner hall together
Only then did she ask in detail, “Ah Shu, did your trip to the Crown Prince’s residence go well this time?
Did you see Dr Wei, right?”I saw him!”
Ling Jingyan snatched at her and replied, “Doctor Wei is really good looking, I almost looked dumbfounded today”
Sun blanched at Ling Jingyan: “You’re an unmarried girl, you don’t know how to speak in a subtle and euphemistic manner”
She looked at Ling Jingshu again, “Ah Shu
Imperial Doctor Wei has applied needles for Ah Xiao, right?”Of course he did!
And it took half an hour
The golden needles are longer than one, and they are scary to look at
In less than a moment’s effort, A Xiao was stabbed into a hedgehog ” No need to doubt it
The person who grabbed the answer was again Ling Jingyan
Ling Jingshu was dumbfounded and simply didn’t say anything
Letting Ling Jingyan’s eyebrows fly, she recounted today’s events one by one
When it came to the fact that the Crown Prince had also personally gone to the guest room, Sun’s face lit up: ”Is it true what you said?
His Highness the Crown Prince actually went to visit you in person?”
The words rose
Overflowing with surprise
Ling Jingshu frowned slightly and quickly picked up the conversation, “His Highness the Crown Prince probably heard Eunuch Wei mention A Xiao’s eye disease and was momentarily curious in his heart
So he stopped by to take a look”
Where is it passing by, it’s clearly coming on purpose
Ling Jingyan was about to argue
Ling Jingshu had already given her a wink
Well, if you’re not allowed to say it, then don’t say it!
Ling Jingyan stopped her mouth a bit resentfully
However, Sun’s shrewdness was not that easy to fool
Immediately looking at Jiang with a smile, ”Yu Niang, you are a few years older than Yan A Shu, you can always see more clearly than them
Did His Highness the Crown Prince pass by today, or did he purposely go to visit?”
Jiang weighed her options briefly, threw Ling Jingshu an apologetic look, and honestly replied, “In my opinion, His Highness should have gone on purpose
Moreover, His Highness pays quite a bit of attention to Ah Shu and has a gentle attitude”
Hearing these words, Sun had her own calculations in her heart and did not pursue any further, instead instructing, “You have been running around all morning, now each of you go back to your houses to rest!
Especially A Xiao, now he is curing his eye disease, he can’t delay drinking the medicine”
Everyone responded in unison, and each of them retired
After returning to the house, Jingyu first boiled the medicine and brought it over
Ling Jingshu takes the medicine bowl and feeds Ling Xiao the medicine
After drinking the medicine, Ling Xiao looks tired, but refuses to lie down and rest, pulling Ling Jingshu’s hand and says, “Ah Shu, I have something to say to you”After running around for half a day today and just drinking the medicine, you must be tired
Take a nap and rest first!”
Ling Jingshu backhanded Ling Xiao’s hand and softly coaxed, “Just wait until you wake up to say what you have to say”
Ling Xiao, however, is very insistent, “No, I want to talk to you now”
It’s rare to see Ling Xiao being so stubborn
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed and softly said, “Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you, okay!
What are you going to say, I’m listening!”
Ling Xiao doesn’t know where to start again for a moment, and only squeezes out a few words after a long time, “Ah Shu, His Highness Taisun clearly has some good feelings for you
Why don’t you appreciate it today?”
The status of the Emperor’s grandson is honorable, if A Shu can marry into the Crown Prince’s residence in the future, it is also a good thing
Ling Jingshu collected the smile on her face and asked instead of answering, “Ah Xiao, do you really think that the Imperial Grandson will be a good home?”
Without waiting for Ling Xiao to say anything, she spoke on lightly, “Just as you said, the status of the Imperial Grandson is honorable, and his marriage concerns the future of the Eastern Palace, so there is no room for him to make decisions
Even if he has some fondness for me, it’s impossible for him to marry me as his rightful consort”With our Ling Family’s family lineage, at most we will be a side consort
I don’t want to share my husband with another woman, and I don’t want to settle for less
To take a step back, even if I am willing to settle for less, the Crown Princess may not be satisfied with me”You should have seen a thing or two about the Crown Princess’ attitude today
On the surface, it seems quite cordial, but in reality, she is wary of me in every way
It’s clear that she doesn’t have a good feeling about me
If I really marry the Imperial Grandson, I don’t know how much suffering I’ll have to endure in the future”Do you still think now that I should claim the Emperor Taisun’s favor?”
In fact, there was another most important reason that wasn’t said
She suffered from a strange disease that prevented her from being near men, and she couldn’t and wouldn’t marry and have children in this life
She didn’t want to mess with any men
Whether the Imperial Great-grandson was good or bad had nothing to do with her
