Chapter 395
How could she be dissatisfied?
She was eleven hundred percent willing!
Ling Jingshu still had a trace of sense, knowing that she could not lose her temper in front of the Emperor, so as not to arouse the Emperor’s suspicion
Hearing this, she revealed just the right amount of shyness and joy: “Thank you, Empress Dowager, for pointing out such a good marriage to the slave girl
Slave girl thanked the empress!”
Saying this, she respectfully kowtowed three times
Not only did she show how flattered she was to be appointed to a marriage, but she also skillfully covered up the fact that she and Wei Yan were in love with each other
In the eyes of the Emperor, this is also the way a female official who was appointed by the Empress herself should look
His Majesty’s last shred of suspicion was gone, and he said with a smile, “Speaking of which, Lady Officer Ling has also served by my side for some time
The residence that I just rewarded is for Wei Yan
As Mistress Ling is getting married, I, the master, must also show some affection”
Empress Wei immediately smiled and interjected, “This little matter, there is no need for Your Majesty to worry about it
Concubine and Your Majesty are husband and wife, husband and wife are one
I will definitely prepare a thick dowry for her, even if Your Majesty and my concubine add to her dowry together”
The Emperor nodded happily, “The Empress has considered this much more thoroughly than I have
Also, let’s do as the Empress wishes!”
Ling Jingshu had no choice but to kowtow and thank him again
She didn’t dare to look up at Wei Yan
She was afraid that the joy on her face and the pulsating affection in her eyes would show and make the Emperor suspicious
Wei Yan did the same, maintaining his complexion at just the right level of pleasure
This was tantamount to a different kind of torture for lovers immersed in ecstasy
However, both of them resigned themselves to it
After waiting for so long, they finally waited for this day!
Ling Jingshu couldn’t remember how she returned to the Lingbo Palace and how she returned to the house
The whole person was light and airy, like being placed on a cloud
Happiness came too quickly, too suddenly, with a kind of unreal and illusory beauty!
Bai Yu held back for half a day and finally couldn’t hold back: ”Miss, what’s wrong with you today?
You’ve been sitting by the window since you came back, and you’ve been smiling non-stop”
Ling Jingshu had always been introverted and subtle, and it was almost never the case that her emotions were so outwardly expressed
Qiaoyun also smiled and agreed, “Yes!
The slave girl also feels strange
Did the Empress Mother give the young lady some kind of reward?”
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes and looked over, the light in her eyes more dazzling than the afternoon sun, “Bai Yu, Qiaoyun, the Empress has arranged a marriage for me”
Bai Yu and Qiaoyun were first stunned, then reactedReally?”
Bai Yu rushed forward in an arrow step and fiercely clutched Ling Jingshu’s hand with a face of excitement and joy, “The Empress Dowager has really arranged a marriage for Miss?
Is it Dr Wei?
Look at the slave girl, she’s so happy that she’s almost silly
Who else could it be but Imperial Doctor Wei”
Bai Yu was so happy that she was almost incoherent
Over the past two years, although Ling Jingshu had not directly singled out this matter
However, as Ling Jingshu’s personal maid, how could she not know the closeness between her and Wei Yan?
Unfortunately, although there were many opportunities for the two to meet, it was difficult for them to avoid people’s ears and be close to each other in private
Every time she saw Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan staring at each other from afar, Bai Yu’s heart felt a bit sour
Now she finally waited for Empress Wei’s marriage
The clouds have been guarded and the moon is clear!
Lovers finally become lovers!
Is there anything better in the world than this?
Compared to the overjoyed Bai Yu, Qiaoyun was much calmer and smiled as she made a blessing: ”Congratulations, Miss, you have been blessed with a good match and a husband you love
With Empress Dowager’s personal instruction, this marriage will definitely be organized in an illustrious manner”
Most importantly, with Empress Wei’s marriage, there is no possibility of changing this marriage
Only pitied a piece of the heart of His Royal Highness Taisun
Qiaoyun secretly felt sorry for the Imperial Grandson in her heart
However, at this moment, it is not appropriate to show such regret
Being fussed over by the two maids, Ling Jingshu’s fluttering heart also fell back to the ground
Fixing her mind, she smiled and said: ”The Empress has already instructed, from today onwards, I don’t need to accompany her anymore
Pack up your clothes and luggage, and leave the palace to return to Ling Mansion in a few days”
This was another surprising piece of good news!
Bai Yu first laughed, and then reddened her eyes as she laughed, “Miss has survived in the palace for over two years, and will finally be able to leave the palace and return to the house”
Ling Jingshu also sighed with a light smile, “Yes!
I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly”
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since she entered the palace
The deep palace was long, locking up the youthful years of all the women in the palace
Day after day, month after month, making people slowly become numb and confused
She almost forgot the days before she entered the palace to stay in the boudoir, how leisurely and cozy it was
The two masters and servants looked at each other and uncontrollably embraced each other and shed a few tears
Whenever this happens, Qiaoyun will always look a little embarrassed
In terms of affection, she was not as close as Bai Yu and Ling Jingshu
Her status as an informant also kept Ling Jingshu a layer away from her
Qiaoyun hesitated briefly, then quietly retreated, gently closing the door behind her
Such important news had to reach His Highness Taisun as soon as possible
The news that Empress Wei had personally arranged a marriage for Ling Jingshu quickly spread through the palace
For a time, I don’t know how many sidelong glances and envy and cynicism were attracted
For so many years, Wei Yan had been alone, and there were uncountable palace maidens who secretly adored him
Because Wei Yan insisted on refusing to get married, the women who adored him could only comfort themselves that they still had hope that such an outstanding man would not become someone else’s husband
After Empress Wei became the Sixth Palace, Wei Yan is a serious uncle of the state, the status is even better than in the past
The emperor rewarded the residence, the Empress Wei personally appointed the marriage, but also specially prepared a generous dowry
Such a marriage, simply let a person envy can not be replaced by the body!
Such a good thing, how did it fall on Ling Jingshu’s body!
The crowd’s cynicism, resentment, and envy couldn’t change the fact that Ling Jingshu was about to marry Wei Yan
They could only clean up their sour moods, carefully prepare their makeup gifts, and take the opportunity to get close to her by delivering the gifts
In just three days, the threshold of Ling Jingshu’s house was almost broken
The familiar and unfamiliar ones, one after another, sent gifts to Jingshu
Ling Jingshu couldn’t refuse, so she just had to get up the spirit to deal with them one by one
Gold hairpins, jade hairpins, gemstone bracelets, and exquisite clothing
There were two whole boxes
This is nothing
Empress Wei personally rewarded the dowry dozens of boxes
All kinds of gold, silver, jade, precious jewelry, clothing, spices, rouge and powder, even the palace’s precious tonic and medicinal herbs also have several boxes
Ling Jingshu’s house simply could not be placed, Empress Wei simply ordered someone to go ahead and send the things to the Ling Mansion
By now, Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan’s marriage had spread throughout the capital
Wei Yan’s reputation among the people was extremely high, so his marriage was highly publicized
When Empress Wei ordered the dowry to be sent into the Ling Mansion, the people who were watching the event crowded the alley outside the Ling Mansion
