Chapter 273

It was probably because Ling Jingshu’s performance was quite good, temporarily making Empress Xu go off her guard

-In the following period of time, Empress Xu did not call Ling Jingshu alone again, nor did she say anything else

Ling Jingshu was still on guard in secret, but she did not show it on her face

She went about her daily business and had nothing to do with Qiu Frost and the others – the same as the other female officials in the Pepper Room

Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan had the opportunity to meet from time to time

When they met, they only greeted each other blandly and did not show any familiarity or closeness

Empress Xu had many eyes and ears in the palace, so the two had to be cautious

Ling Jingshu stayed in the palace, unable to contact her family, and did not know how Ling Xiao and the others were doing

However, other news was a lot better

For example, Yan Wang and Yan Wangfei were not so hot and sticky after their new marriage

Yan Wangfei came to the palace to pay her respects

There were no outsiders present at the time, so no one knew what Empress Xu had said

All that is known is that Yan Wangfei’s eyes were slightly reddened when she left the Pepper Palace

For example, Princess Changping came into the palace to pay her respects with a glowing face and was angrily reprimanded by Empress Xu for some unknown reason

Princess Changping is not a soft and gentle nature, was reprimanded by Empress Xu heart unhappy, actually and Empress Xu argued

The result is, mother and daughter two unhappy parting

-Empress Xu for several days are gloomy face, pepper room in the hall of the people are worried, lest in the Queen Xu’s anger was angry

For example, after two months of recuperation, the Emperor’s body has finally recovered

Everyone in the palace, from Empress Xu down to the common servants and maids, is happy about it

The civil and military officials in the court were even more energized that the Emperor could finally go to court

These news are nothing

Recently, the most eye-catching and enjoyable topic is of course the impending wedding of the Emperor’s grandson

When the palace maids met, they always had to talk about it a few timesI heard that the dowry prepared by the Duke of England’s residence for the Imperial Grandson’s Consort is even more than the dowry prepared by the Duke of Ping’s residence for Yan Wangfei that day!”That is of course

The Duke of England’s Mansion only has one first daughter, Miss Jiang, and the Duke of Ping’s Mansion has three first daughters”His Highness King Yan got married last year, and now it’s the turn of His Highness the Great Grandson”

The courtesan who said this was quite beautifully born, and her words were characterized by envy and a little bit of resentment, “I really don’t know when we’ll have the chance to get married”

The rest of the court ladies immediately laughed: “So it’s because you hate to get married

Entering the palace is difficult and leaving the palace is even more difficult, if you want to get out of the palace and get married, you just wait slowly!”

According to the rules of the palace, a palace maid will only be released from the palace at her discretion when she reaches the age of twenty-five

I don’t know how many of them never went out in their lives and died of old age in the palace

-Sharp-eyed, she caught sight of a figure not far away and busily whispered, “You guys quickly stop talking

Mistress Ling is coming over!”

The palace maids, who had originally gotten together to sigh and lament, quickly dispersed

There was one who couldn’t run away as an errand boy, and stiffly picked up the clippers, pretending to prune the bonsaiGive me the shears”

A soft and pleasant voice rang in the courtesan’s ears, “When trimming the bonsai, you have to concentrate, never be distracted

Otherwise, this flower will be cut and damaged”

The courtesan’s face turned red as she handed the shears to Ling Jingshu, hanging her head and waiting to be lectured

Ling Jingshu, however, did not say anything, and after carefully trimming the bonsai, she put down the clippers and left

The courtesan breathed a sigh of relief, and was secretly grateful

Compared to Falling Yan who was quick to scold people with a stern face, Ling Jingshu’s temperament was much milder

Ling Jingshu’s mood at this time was not as calm as it appeared on the surface

The Imperial Grandson was about to get married

That handsome condensation and proud young man, once in the most critical moment saved her life, once grace Ling Xiao borrowed the Crown Prince’s residence to cure eye disease, once with that pair of cold but focused eyes gazing at her, once couldn’t help but show her feelings

It was she who rejected him without hesitation!

Because she is very clear, she and he is not a person in the world

His feelings, she could not afford, nor did she want!

He and Jiang Shuyue were about to get married, his heart was loaded with the mountains and the earth, and he would never be short of love and heroism

Therefore, she didn’t need to feel guilty about anything, just silently bless him from afar!Miss,” Bai Yu’s voice interrupted her thoughts, “Why have you returned?”

She had actually returned to her residence without realizing it

Ling Jingshu returned to her senses and gave a casual hmmm

Why was miss distracted today

Bai Yu secretly wondered in her heart and tentatively asked, “Did something happen?

At this time of day, shouldn’t Miss be in the Peony Room?”

Ling Jingshu fixed her mind and said, “Just now, I heard a few palace maids muttering about His Highness the Great Sun’s wedding, and I was a bit out of focus for a moment, so I came back”

In front of Bai Yu, surprisingly, she didn’t hide her true mood at all

Bai Yu was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did she whisper, “Miss, when you didn’t accept His Royal Highness the Great Sun’s heart that day, are you regretting it now?”No”

Ling Jingshu’s demeanor had already regained its composure, “I’ve never regretted the decision I made

It’s just that when I heard the news, my heart was a little saddened”

This was probably a common problem for women

Even if it was a teenager they had rejected, hearing that the other party was about to get married, it was inevitable that there would be some bad feelings in their hearts

Bai Yu smiled a little and was about to speak out to appease him when footsteps sounded again outside the door

It is Qiaoyun!

Bai Yu immediately withdrew the words that had reached her mouth and pulled the topic away as if nothing had happened

After all, Qiaoyun is the secret guard sent by the Imperial Grandson, and there are some things that Qiaoyun should not be allowed to hear

Three days later

Huang Taisun wedding

As usual, it was arranged by the Minister of Rites himself, the scenery and bustle of the marriage, compared to the Yan King’s wedding time has never been better

The emperor and the empress each ordered to send a lot of congratulatory gifts, the crown prince and the crown princess personally greeted the guests

Welcome the bride’s procession, carrying the dowry to send the bride’s procession is even more powerful, good to get together with the people of the capital this time but the eye-opening

These lively and stay in the palace Ling Jingshu has nothing to do

This day, she is still the same as usual, first in the Pepper Room Hall on a circle, to determine that the court ladies do their work conscientiously without laziness, and then into the peony room

In spring, the weather gradually warmed up, the willow tree drew out its long branches, and the grass was full of green

The peony room was also in full bloom

In the flower pots on the bamboo shelves, some peonies had already put up tiny buds

They were vibrant under the green leaves, and were full of springtime vigor

In less than a month, all the peonies will grow buds and gradually bloom

An intoxicatingly rich fragrance would float in the air

Ling Jingshu meticulously checked the growth of each peony one by one, especially the more than twenty pots of new peonies

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded behind her
