Chapter 128
The wooden bridge was twisting and winding, about two feet from the water, only allowing two people to walk side by side, very delicately and chicly constructed
The chamberlains were in the front two ways, Jiang followed closely behind, Ling Jingyan pulled Ling Jingshu’s hand and walked side by side, Bai Yu and a few other maids followed behind
Looking from afar, the momentum was really not small
There were already quite a few guests on the viewing pavilion at the center of the lake
The familiar ones were sitting together in twos and threes, enjoying the lake view while chatting in low voices
At this moment, seeing a line of people coming over, they subconsciously looked overStrange, which family’s maiden is this?
How come it looks so unfamiliar?”Yes!
I’ve never seen them before”That young girl in the pink dress is long and delicate, and that one in the autumnal scented dress
Huh?
When did such a beautiful young girl appear in Luoyang City?”
A crowd of famous ladies whispered
Those who were qualified to enter and exit Princess Changping’s residence were the topmost boudoir girls of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Inevitably, they were proud of themselves and subconsciously regarded this small circle as the top boudoir social circle in the Great Zhou Dynasty
Usually, there were familiar faces coming and going, and when a few unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared, naturally everyone looked at them sideways
There was a sharp-eyed one who recognized Jiang and gently eeped, ”The one at the front, the woman with the married lady’s bun, seems a bit familiar
It should be the daughter of the concubine of the Jiang family”A mere commoner’s daughter is also worthy of being a guest of Her Highness Princess Changping?”
A young girl sneered contemptuously, then turned to the green-clothed girl beside her and laughed: “Second Miss Su, you and Third Miss Jiang have always had dealings, have you ever seen this person in the Duke of England’s residence?”
The girl in green is about fifteen years old, her appearance is not top beautiful, but her eyebrows are elegant and her temperament is outstanding
It is Crown Princess Su’s niece, Miss Su’s second niece
Second Miss Su smiled lightly and said in a low voice, “She should be a young lady from the Jiang family’s side branch
I haven’t seen her before
When Third Miss Jiang arrives later, I will know once I ask her
They will be here soon, let’s stop talking, it’s not good to be overheard if we make a slip of the tongue”
A few words behind the back would be fine, but to be overheard would be really embarrassing
A few young girls who were whispering just now, each of them stopped their mouths when they heard the words
The viewing pavilion is getting closer and closer, so close that you can clearly see the faces of the daughters in the pavilion
Being sized up by so many people intentionally or unintentionally
Ling Jingyan only felt her heart beating faster
Her legs were a little soft, and her footsteps unconsciously hesitated and slowed downWhat’s wrong?”
Ling Jingshu, who was standing beside her, sensed her difference almost immediately
In a low voice, she asked
Ling Jingyan lowered her voice and replied, “Nothing, being stared at by so many people at the same time, I’m a little nervous”
To put it bluntly, she was timid
Ling Jingshu lost her smile
In a low voice, she joked, “Aren’t you always known for being bold?”
She felt that she was a coward, but when she encountered outsiders, she wimped out
Ling Jingyan heard the teasing in Ling Jingshu’s words
However, she had no time to retort
The Viewing Pavilion had arrived
In the midst of all the people gawking with different colors, Ling Jingyan subconsciously straightened her back
Coming out represented the face of the Ling family, one could not let the Ling family be disgraced by it
The chamberlain led Ling Jingshu and her party to the viewing pavilion, but did not introduce the identity of the three
He quickly left
Although there were quite a few people in the Viewing Pavilion, they each looked cold and no one took the initiative to open their mouths to break the silence
Not to mention Ling Jingyan’s color was a bit stiff
Even Jiang, who had always been calm and collected, was also a bit hesitant
So, what should be done next?Her Highness hasn’t arrived yet
Let’s sit down and wait for a while!”
Ling Jingshu was unexpectedly the first to open her mouth, scanning the circle with a calm demeanor, picking a corner where no one was seated, and lifting her steps to walk over
At the moment Ling Jingshu spoke out, Jiang also quickly came back to her senses and took a step to walk side by side with Ling Jingshu, while laughing: “You’re right, we’d better wait for a while”
Jiang intentionally raised her voice to draw the crowd’s attention to herself
How perceptive Ling Jingshu was, she instantly comprehended Jiang’s piece of mind
Her previous experiences were enough to prove that she was born with the constitution to cause trouble
Jiang was protecting her in her own way!
Thinking about this, Ling Jingshu’s heart surged with warmth
This kind of warmth had not been given to her by Old Mrs Ling, nor had it been given to her by her own father, Master Ling Fifth
However, she had experienced the affection and warmth of her family in Ling Jingyan and Jiang’s body
And cousin Ling Ji’s concern and care
She did not say it with her mouth, but she remembered it in her heart
Even though Grand Master Ling was ambitious and greedy by nature, and Sun’s scheming against her was more than a concern, it did not detract from the gratitude and touching feeling she had for the family
After sitting down, Ling Jingshu motionlessly surveyed the young girls in the pavilion
The maids each stood behind their masters, and there were about five or six women sitting at this time
Their ages ranged from thirteen or fourteen to about twenty
Their looks and temperaments were each distinctive and elegant
Among them, the most outstanding, there is no better than that green dress green skirt girl
Appearance elegant, full of bookishness, at a glance it is known to be from a scholarly family
Moreover, the face and temperament of this young girl is vaguely familiar, vaguely similar to the Crown Princess that she had seen a few days ago
While Ling Jingshu was sizing up the girl in green, the girl in green was also secretly paying attention to Ling Jingshu
Just now, looking from afar, she already felt that this young girl wearing an autumn scented dress was very beautiful, but now that she was closer, she realized that this young girl was incomparably beautiful, and that she had a kind of composure that was far better than that of a young girl of the same age
A pair of bright eyes like water, like a crystal clear spring, and then gaze, like a deep pool of water, so that people can not help but be attracted
This kind of beautiful and outstanding young girl, how can the name is not known?
The girl in green secretly pondered the identity of the other party’s origin in her heart, and on her face, she already smiled and took the initiative to greet her, “Are you guys also receiving an invitation from Her Highness, the Princess of Changping?”
As the other party acted so friendly, Ling Jingshu would not be rude, and answered back with a smile, “Yes
My surname is Ling, my maiden name is Jingshu
I am the ninth in my family
This is my cousin’s sister-in-law Jiang, and this is my cousin Ling Jingyan
My uncle is Mr Lang from the Ministry of Public Works
I wonder if I could ask for your name?”
The green-clothed girl smiled faintly, “My surname is Su, my maiden name is a Ying character, and I rank second in my family”
This was the most outstanding young girl in terms of appearance and temperament that Ling Jingshu had encountered after entering the capital
It was also the first young girl to show kindness to her
Ling Jingshu’s mood was also much better as she smiled at Su Ying and said, “It is an honor to have the pleasure of meeting Second Miss Su
At the risk of asking, are you related to the Crown Princess?”
Her identity, everyone here knew, and there was nothing to hide
Su Ying nodded graciously, “Precisely, the Crown Princess is my full aunt”
