Chapter 250
Yan Wangfei, who stood at Empress Xu’s side, slightly furrowed her brows and carefully sized up Ling Jingshu for a few moments
~, indeed a rare and beautiful young girl
That calm and collected wit was also exciting to watch
With King Yan’s flirtatious and amorous nature, there was no reason why he would not be moved when he saw such a young girl
Empress Xu on her extra favor, is born to let her marry Yan Wang as a side consort of the mind it
Just when the newlyweds are in love, think of this kind of thing, if you say half do not mind is impossible
However, it is inconvenient to talk too much on such occasions, and even more inappropriate to reveal one’s thoughts
Yan Wangfei maintained her expression of a light smile, the hand hidden in her sleeve quietly clenched
Empress Xu knew that she was suffering from a strange disease that prevented her from getting close to a man and marrying him, but at this time, she repeatedly brought up this matter in public, in the end, what was her intention?
Ling Jingshu’s mind flickered, she was secretly on guard, but her mouth remained humble and respectful as she politely excused herself, “My daughter thanks Empress Xu for her love, but I really don’t have this intention”
Empress Xu didn’t press any further, “That’s just it, since you’re so insistent, this palace is not in a position to force the issue”
Empress Xu brought up this matter with great fanfare, and just let her off lightly?
Ling Jingshu smiled and thanked her for the favor, but she was still wary in her heart
Empress Xu, however, did not look at Ling Jingshu again, and sighed to Wei Jiyu with a smile, “Ever since Lvzhu left, there is no one to talk to by the side of this palace
This palace has thought about choosing some suitable women to enter the palace, but unfortunately there has been no one to fulfill my wishes
Now there is one, and intelligent and clever, this palace look heart really like”
The meaning of these words made Wei Jieyu’s heart sink
Quickly glancing at Ling Jingshu, she saw that Ling Jingshu’s face had also changed slightly
It seemed that Ling Jingshu had also heard that something was wrong
A series of thoughts flashed through Wei Jieyu’s mind, but under her breath, she followed Empress Xu’s words, “I wonder which girl is so fortunate as to fall into Empress Dowager’s eyes”
Empress Xu let out a light laugh and said in a tone of intimacy, “It’s just that others are unfamiliar with this palace’s temperament
You’ve served beside this palace for a few years, do you still not understand this palace’s temperament?
Do you still need to open your mouth and ask the palace to know who it is?”
Wei Jieyu couldn’t laugh anymore and barely managed to squeeze out a smile as she responded, “I wouldn’t dare to presume to speculate on Empress Mother’s mind”
Empress Xu glanced at Wei Jieyu, who was playing dumb, with a smile on her face, “It’s been more than ten years since you were a courtesan beside this palace
After so many years have passed, it’s no wonder that you can’t hear this palace’s thoughts”
Wei Jieyu’s heart sank straight down
Empress Xu’s meaning was already obvious
The person she favored was Ling Jingshu!
She wanted Ling Jingshu to enter the Pepper Palace!
Just like herself back then
No one present was a fool, who could not see something so obvious?
The Empress’s “favor” was a gift and could not be refused
Now that Empress Xu had only said half of her words, she was clearly waiting for Ling Jingshu to take the initiative to open her mouth
Logically speaking, being able to accompany Empress Xu in the palace was a joyous occasion
In the future, with Empress Xu’s decision, she would be able to get a good marriage in the near future
Now that Empress Xu’s attitude was ambiguous, it made people a little puzzled
Ling Jingshu to enter the palace in what name?
After entering the Pepper Palace, will she be a palace maid or a female officer?
After entering the palace, will Empress Xu release her in a year and a half or will she stay for a few more years?
If Empress Xu wanted to keep Ling Jingshu for a few years and delayed her youthful life, wouldn’t Ling Jingshu lose more than she gained?
Sun’s face also changed
She had hoped that Ling Jingshu would gain the favor of a nobleman and be able to marry into the Crown Prince’s residence in the future
But she never expected Empress Xu to come up with such a plan
The Crown Prince and Empress Xu’s mother and son are not in harmony, sooner or later there will be a “war”
The Ling family had already chosen the Crown Prince’s side, so what would happen if Jingshu went to Empress Xu’s side?
No way!
This matter must not be nodded!
Even if it means angering Empress Xu on the spot, she must politely decline
Sun made up her mind, ruthlessly opened her mouth and said: “Your Highness, I dare to ” Before her words fell, Ling Jingshu’s voice sounded at her side: “Your Highness, I have something to say, if there is something I can’t say, please forgive me Empress Dowager to forgive me”
This girl, don’t say anything you shouldn’t on an impulse
Sun was secretly anxious in her heart, but she did not dare to stop Ling Jingshu in public, and could only watch as Ling Jingshu once again became the center of attention
Empress Xu looked at Ling Jingshu, the smile in her eyes was gentle and kind: “If you have anything to say, there is no harm in saying it
This palace forgives you for your innocence is all!”
Only Ling Jingshu could tell how much malice was contained in Empress Xu’s smile
The ups and downs of the previous months turned out to be just the calm before the storm
Empress Xu hadn’t wanted to let her off the hook from start to finish
She had only been secretly looking for the most suitable time to strike!
Now that I think about it, Wei Yan’s “diagnosis”, “prescription” and “treatment” for her in the past few months certainly didn’t hide from Empress Xu’s eyes and ears
Empress Xu knows that she is suffering from a strange disease, still can not allow her and Wei Yan this close
Today’s trip to the Pepper Room Hall was a trap set by Empress Xu
She was not aware of it and got into it, and it was impossible for her to get out of it peacefully
However, Empress Xu must not have thought that this matter is also a perfect opportunity for her to take revenge
She wanted to take revenge, but suffered from a lack of good opportunities
Staying in the Ling family every day, she had very few chances to go out, let alone getting close to her enemy
Now the opportunity to get close to Empress Xu was right in front of her
Even though the road ahead was vast and obscure, even though there were countless plots and tricks waiting for her, she had to straighten her back and go for it!Just now, the Empress Mother and Lady Jieyu said those words, I dare to ask, I don’t know if the person that the Empress Mother has in mind is my daughter?”
Ling Jingshu raised her head slightly, her pretty face flushed with joy and excitement
Empress Xu’s eyes flickered, and the corner of her lips lifted up, “You girl, you’re really resourceful
That’s right, the person this palace is talking about is exactly you
Since you have guessed the mind of this palace, I wonder if you are willing to enter the palace to accompany this palace?”
Ling Jingshu knelt down without thinking and answered aloud, “Of course my daughter is willing
Being able to accompany the Empress and listen to her teachings every day is something I couldn’t ask for more
Folk daughter thanks Empress Dowager for her grace!”
Saying this, she respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to thank her for her grace
Crowd: ” “This scene was unexpected, simply some absurd child’s play feeling
Of course, no one had the guts to say anything in front of Empress Xu
Thus, gazes fell on Ling Jingshu’s body
After today, this beautiful and intelligent girl would surely become famous in the capital
