Chapter 171

Princess Anya turned her head slightly to look at Ling Jingshu on her side, and smiled after a moment’s thought, “I remember you, is your maiden name Ling Jingshu?”

The young girls who came to the banquet today were all outstanding in talent and appearance

However, among them, Ling Jingshu was still very glamorous and eye-catching

Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, “Your Highness’s memory is really good, after hearing it only once, you remembered my maiden name”You were born so beautiful, how could I not remember it”

Princess Anya winked, quite playful and cute

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly, “Your Highness is flattering

When Your Highness grows up in two years, I don’t know what kind of national color and style will be outstanding!”

There is no one who doesn’t like others to praise them

If the one who praised him was a beauty with a beautiful face, and his words were sincere, it would be even more comforting

Princess Anya’s smile carried a hint of joy and shyness, “Your speech is really pleasing”

After a pause she laughed again, “Are you really not good at playing the zither, or did you specially come to accompany me?”

Ling Jingshu responded without changing her color: “Your Highness, I have been learning the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was young, and I have been involved in each, but I am just not considered proficient

Especially the zither, which requires both talent and a lot of time for daily practice

I’m not interested in it and have neglected practicing, so I simply won’t make a fool of myself in front of everyone”

In fact, although Ling Jingshu was not particularly fond of the zither, she had put in some effort, and there was absolutely no problem in playing a song in front of everyone

However, when she watched Princess Anya admitting that she was not good at the zither and then being punished for picking lotus, somehow the words came out of her mouth

Princess Anya heard these words, quite sympathetic, suddenly gave birth to the intention of closeness, whispered sigh: “I usually in the palace, is also everything to learn, every day full, even the rest of the time are not

Unfortunately, learning everything is sparse

Good thing that mother consort is not too strict on my requirements, to me to listen to me

Otherwise, my days would be difficult”

Being a princess wasn’t as easy and carefree as outsiders thought!

Ling Jingshu became curious about this rumored Wei Jieyu

Tentatively, she said, “I heard that Auntie Jieyu is the first beauty of the harem, but it’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to see her”

Once you enter the palace door, it’s like a deep sea!

As a concubine in the harem, only those who have high rank and are favored by the Holy Spirit will have the chance to see their families every year during the New Year

As for going out of the palace to return to peace

That is only the Queen of the Palace only have the honor

Speaking of which, Wei Jieyu is also considered blessed

Wei doctor daily in and out of the palace, siblings often meet

I don’t know how many concubines secretly eyed themMother consort has never been out of the palace, and I don’t know how this title of the first beauty of the harem has been spread”

Princess Anya in the end is still small, the words said modestly

In her eyes, however, pride flashed out, naturally promising, “In the future, if you have the opportunity to enter the palace, I will take you to see mother consort is”

Ling Jingshu was busy laughing: “I’m in such a position, where would I have the opportunity to enter the palace

It’s just a casual joke, Your Highness doesn’t have to take it to heart”

Yes!

Only ennobled ladies of the third rank or above could enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager on the initial day of the new year

Grand Master Ling was only a mere fourth rank official, and the ladies of his family were not qualified to enter the palace

Princess Anya smiled a little and stopped talking, turning her head to survey the lake again

Ling Jingshu also stopped talking and looked at the pond full of lotus flowers together with Princess An Ya

A group of famous ladies

Sure enough, they were all extraordinary

After Jiang Shuyue played a piece of High Mountains and Flowing Water, Su Ying played a bamboo flute

The sound of the flute was gentle and melodious, quite cheerful, attracting the crowd’s praise

In the melodious and lighthearted sound of the flute, Princess Anya also finally chose a white lotus flower

The petals of that lotus were huge, bigger than a bowl, and shone with a bright luster in the sunlight

Princess Anya and Princess Changping were not close on weekdays, but she also knew Princess Changping’s preferences

Princess Changping is not in favor of buds that are waiting to bloom, she likes flowers that are in full bloom

Princess Anya had chosen this one specifically for her favor

Ling Jingshu followed Princess Anya’s gaze

Smiling, she said, “Your Highness really has a good eye, that lotus flower is indeed blooming extremely beautifully”

It happens to be near the cruise ship again, so you can reach out and pick it

Princess Anya said excitedly, “Do you think it’s good too?

I picked half a day before I picked that one

When the boat comes near

I will pick the lotus flower”

The boat drew closer, only to realize that there were some technical difficulties

There was really some difference between the visual inspection and the actual distance

What’s more, Princess Anya was small and had short arms, so she couldn’t reach the boat

Princess Anya stretched out her arms, but still could not reach, her little face was red

Ling Jingshu looked amused and felt pity

She whispered, “Your Highness, let me pick it for you”

Princess Anya, however, was stubborn: “No need

I promised to personally pick a lotus flower, how can I let you do it”

However, she again really couldn’t reach How about this, you do me a favor”

With a twinkle in her eye, Princess Anya had an idea and whispered two sentences in Ling Jingshu’s ear

Ling Jingshu subconsciously frowned and objected, “This is a bit dangerous, Your Highness’s body of a thousand gold, you must not do this”

What if she accidentally falls into the water?

Princess Anya usually in the palace rules quiet and introverted, out of the palace fell eleven or twelve years old girl naughty and mischievous

After having an idea, she insisted on implementing it, “If you refuse to help, then I will call another person”

Ling Jingshu couldn’t argue with the stubborn Princess Anya, so she only agreed

Princess Anya bent half of her body over the railing and forcefully stretched out her right hand to pick the lotus flower

Ling Jingshu tightly clutched her left arm, her heart was rarely nervous

At this time, Su Ying’s bamboo flute was playing to its climax, almost everyone on the cruise ship was so mesmerized that no one noticed Princess An Ya and Ling Jingshu’s actions

Jiang Shuyue and Su Ying, who were not in harmony with each other, were probably the only ones who were listening absentmindedly

Jiang Shuyue’s gaze idly turned around, and when she saw Princess An Ya leaning over the railing and reaching out to pick lotus flowers, she could not help but be startled and without thinking, she exclaimed, “Princess An Ya!

Danger!”

The crowd was all attracted by this cry of alarm and turned their heads over in a hugh manner

And at this moment, Princess Anya’s white and tender little hand had already reached the lotus flower and was picking it with force

Steeply hearing the sharp cry, she was startled

Her right hand unconsciously exerted too much force, and her body actually slipped off the railing

Ling Jingshu wasn’t weak, but she didn’t have much strength either, and she was barely pulling Princess Anya

Now that Princess Anya’s entire body was sliding down, she could not pull at all

With a plop, Princess Anya fell into the water

The crowd was stunned, and Princess Changping’s face changed even more abruptly
