Chapter 169

The one who came to deliver the invitations was the same condescending chamberlain as last time

Laundry, as usual, Sun slipped a “rich” purse over, only then did the chamberlain smile, and his tone was more polite: “The craftsmen spent half a year making a new boat for Her Highness the Princess

Her Highness likes to be lively and intends to invite some honored guests to the Princess’ Residence to join her on a boat trip to the lake”The time is on the day after tomorrow, so please have Young Grandma Ling and the two Misses Ling arrive at the mansion early, don’t be late”

Although he was inviting the three to be guests at the door, the chamberlain’s gaze was looking at Ling Jingshu

Ling Jingshu could only respond with a smile, “Please report back to Your Highness, we will definitely arrive earlier”

The chamberlain delivered the invitation and quickly left

Everyone had their own thoughts and did not say anything for a whileAh Shu, Her Highness the Princess has asked someone to send an invitation, so we are not in a position to excuse ourselves”

Jiang frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “However, there is always an extra layer of concern in my heart right now

Princess Changping and King Yan are siblings, what if King Yan goes to the Princess’s residence at that time?”

Ling Jingshu’s heart was not without concern, and she sighed softly, “I’m not hiding it from cousin sister-in-law, I’m also worried about this matter!”

Ling Ji had already learned of King Yan’s entanglement with Ling Jingshu from Jiang’s mouth, and snorted coldly with a sullen face, “How outrageous!

Even though the fair lady and gentleman are good at martyring, it’s not this aggressive”

Emotional matter is about your love and my willingness, so what is going on?

The more Ling Ji thought about it, the more irritated he became, and said indignantly, “Ah Shu, in the future, you try not to go out of the house

I will accompany A Xiao to the Prince’s residence

No matter how domineering Yan Wang is, he can’t come into our Ling family’s backyard!”

These words came out

The crowd behaved differently

Jiang wanted to speak out against it, but didn’t have the heart to open her mouth

Sun Clan, however, did not have so many concerns and frowned, “It’s not right!

Ah Xiao has to go to the Crown Prince’s residence every five days

You have to study in the Imperial College, so there is no harm in taking a vacation once in a while, but you can’t take a vacation every few days”

Ling Jingshu was also quick to pick up the conversation, “Great Auntie is right

Cousin should focus on his studies, there’s no need to worry about me

Furthermore, I can’t just choke and forget about my food and not even dare to go out of the Ling family’s front door just to avoid King Yan!”

This was also true

There were times when going out of the house was unavoidable

For example, Princess Changping had sent an invitation

Ling Jingshu couldn’t afford to excuse herself from going

Ling Ji frowned and didn’t say anything else, only instructing, “In short

A Shu, you need to be more careful

People’s words are fearful, you are not yet betrothed, and your clean name is the most important thing”

He also said to Jiang: “Yu Niang, you are a few years older

When we go out together in the future

Take care of A Shu more

Don’t let Yan Wang have the opportunity to approach A Shu alone”

Jiang nodded and solemnly responded

Ling Ji’s concern and care caused a wave of warmth to well up in his heart

Ling Jingshu smiled at Ling Ji, “Many thanks to cousin for thinking of me in every way”Self brother and sister, what’s the point of saying such polite things”

Ling Ji responded without thinking, “I just hate that I don’t have the time to accompany you and Ah Xiao out of the mansion

Otherwise, with me around, how could I not let King Yan get close to you”

In fact, even with Ling Ji present, he couldn’t stop King Yan

This

Ling Jingshu knew this only too well

However, Ling Ji had good intentions

She would not speak such a big truth lest she hurt Ling Ji’s face

Two days later

Before leaving the house, Sun purposely rambled on and on

Summarized in these two sentences: Yan Wang is not to be messed with, encountered to avoid some distance

Princess Changping is also not to be messed with, try to meet and show goodMother everything is good, is too wordy

A few simple phrases, going back and forth for so long, it’s simply a delay”

Sitting on the carriage, Ling Jingyan whined with some dissatisfaction

There was no harm in Ling Jingyan complaining a few words, but Jiang’s daughter-in-law and Ling Jingshu’s niece could not say anything

The two looked at each other, exchanged a knowing look, and pursed their lips together

Sun did ramble a bit

This was probably also a common problem of older women

After arriving at Princess Changping’s residence, the three of them got off the carriage and entered the concierge to wait

Not waiting for the concierge boy to pass back, they waited for Su Ying who also came as a guest

The people smiled and exchanged pleasantries

Su Ying, who was dressed in a light blue dress with a beautiful and elegant appearance, smiled with a glowing smile at the corner of her lips, “I thought I came the earliest, but I didn’t expect you guys to come a bit earlier than me”

Ling Jingshu smiled and responded, “When Her Highness had the invitations sent, she specifically instructed to come earlier

We didn’t dare to be negligent, so we purposely came a bit earlier”

Su Ying slightly surveyed Ling Jingshu, pursed her lips and smiled, “I’ve seen you three times, each time you dressed simply, I’ve never seen you dressed up before!”

A fourteen or fifteen year old girl is the age that loves beauty the most

Especially when they go to banquets together, they can’t help but secretly compare themselves

Su Ying was not immune to this

Every time she went out as a guest, she had to dress up carefully for a long time

Ling Jingshu, however, has always shown her face and does not care about what she wears

No wonder Su Ying was secretly surprised

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly, and lightly perfunctorily said, “I’m new to the capital, and I’m not familiar with the fashionable styles of clothes and dresses, hair and jewelry, and so on

So I just dressed casually and simply, so as not to make a fool of myself”

Su Ying guffawed, “You’re such a natural beauty, how can you wear anything that looks good, how can you make a fool of yourself”I’ll shamelessly accept it if someone else says that”

Ling Jingshu smiled and responded, “I’m really ashamed to be praised by Miss Su

If we’re talking about natural beauty, who can compare to Miss Su?”

Everyone loves to hear good words

Su Ying pursed her lips and smiled, “That’s all, let’s not brag about each other

Also, I am one year older than you, so just call me Sister Su

The title Miss Su is too much of a stranger”

Ling Jingshu was not bashful and quickly changed her tone, calling herself Sister Su

The concierge courteously led the crowd into the mansion, directly to the lake

At this time, the summer will be over, the pond is full of lotus flowers, the bloom is particularly enchanting

The breeze blew, filled with the refreshing fragrance of the lotus

The brand new painting boat was parked at the lakeside

It was both spacious and luxurious, with tables and chairs, and various colors of fresh fruits and snacks were placed on the table

After Ling Jingshu and the others boarded the boat, they waited for a few moments, and the famous ladies who received the invitation came one by one

Most of them were familiar faces, having met at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet and Su Ying’s maturity ceremony

As usual, Princess Changping was dressed in bright colors and came with the support of two handsome chamberlains

County Princess Fu Min did not come today

Without this eyesore, Ling Jingshu was in a much more comfortable mood

After Princess Changping sat down, she let out a delicate smile and said, “There is another honored guest who has not arrived today, so please wait for a moment”
