Chapter 83
Ling Jingshu was also slightly stunned and did not reply, instead she quickly looked at Ling Jingyan
Ling Jingyan’s face rippled red again
However, this time, it was not because of shyness and joy, but rather disappointment and irritation
Ever since she had met King Yan by chance at Ding Xiang Lou a few months ago, his figure had been deeply imprinted in her heart
Her soul had been haunted, and she had not forgotten it for a single day
Taking all the trouble just to see him again never thought that it would be like this after meeting him!
He didn’t give her a second glance and paid no attention to her
He simply couldn’t remember ever seeing her!
Ling Jingshu bit her lips hard, her eyes rapidly glistening with water, full of grievance and sadness
When Eunuch Xi saw that Ling Jingshu was actually indifferent and ignoring King Yan, he suddenly became angry, his voice sharp and furious, ”Daring!
His Highness King Yan asks a question, how dare you not say a word!
Are you tired of living?”
As soon as the words fell, Ling Jingshu’s gaze looked over and faintly asked, “Who are you?”
Eunuch Xi was confused by the question and subconsciously replied, “I am Eunuch Xi, the chamberlain beside His Majesty the King of Yan”
Only after saying this did he realize that he had been overpowered by a young girl’s aura, and suddenly felt that his face was disgraceful
He glared back angrily, “Who are you?
How dare you take liberties in front of His Highness, the King of Yan!”
It was a pity that Eunuch Xi was still kneeling in front of King Yan at this moment, twisting his body to speak, not only did he not have much of a frightening aura, but instead, he looked comical and ridiculous
Ling Jingshu also did raise the corners of her mouth, a sneer floating in her eyes, “So it is Eunuch Xi
Eunuch Xi said that we are reckless and that I’m impatient to live
Could it be that you are going to punish me now?
Dare I ask if this is His Highness the Yan King’s wish, or Eunuch Xi’s?”
Eunuch Xi: “”What a tricky and sharp tongue”
Not waiting for Eunuch Xi to argue, Ling Jingshu continued with a faint expression, “At first glance, we saw a nobleman
We were unable to react
His Highness King Yan is broad-minded and did not take it into account
But you, the evil slave, are bullying others, and are really detestable and repulsive
Have you such an evil slave in the side, do not know for His Highness the King of Yan incurred how much right and wrong, and do not know even dragged His Highness the King of Yan added how much arrogance and domineering bad reputation!
I really don’t know how you still have the face to stay by His Highness’ side!”
The words were heartbreaking!
Eunuch Xi was furious, his face flushed red, his body shivering with anger
However, he did not dare to open his mouth to hurl insults
Pressing down the anger of being humiliated, he kowtowed and cried, “Your Highness, I am loyal to you
The sun and the moon can be seen
This wild girl from nowhere, every word is smearing the slave, the slave is wronged ah” King Yan, however, paid no attention to his interest
His gaze had always fallen on Ling Jingshu, who looked calm and indifferent
A gleam of interest floated in his slightly narrow eyes, “Who are you?”
Eunuch Xi’s question could be ignored, but King Yan’s question could not be ignored
Ling Jingshu collected her mind
Slightly hanging her head
Gathering her obeisance, “Back to Your Highness, my name is Ling, and I am the ninth in my family”
The maiden name was of course inconvenient to say
King Yan clearly did not know what subtle euphemisms were and asked bluntly, “What is your maiden name?”
Ling Jingshu responded back without being overbearing, “A woman’s maiden name is only known to her family, it is not convenient to tell outsiders
His Highness King Yan is well read and well mannered, so I don’t think he will force himself on anyone”
What a smooth-talking girl!
Eunuch Xi, who was kneeling in front of King Yan, gave a sneer of secret satisfaction in his heart
He had been serving the King of Yan for two years, and was very familiar with the King of Yan’s temperament
The King of Yan was accustomed to being egotistical on a regular basis, and simply could not tolerate others disobeying his wishes
This Miss Ling Jiu answered like this
She simply doesn’t know what she’s doing
Wait for His Highness to be furious!
The expected situation did not occur!
His Highness did not get angry, instead he raised his eyebrows and smiled: ”You have a point
It’s this king who has surprised a beautiful woman”
He was already extremely handsome, and when he showed his face, his long and narrow eyes suddenly flashed with a bewildering light, just like the blossoming of peach blossoms
It was this kind of smile that made Ling Jingyan fall in love at first sight and fall head over heels for it
But in his eyes, he could only see Ling Jingshu and didn’t even notice her
Ling Jingyan’s tears were welling up in her eyes, and if it wasn’t for the last vestiges of her stubbornness and pride, she probably would have cried out on the spot
Jiang, who was full of shock, had already become a mess in her mind
However, at this time, we must first cope with the immediate past, the rest of the aftermath and then slowly settle accounts with Ling Jingyan is not too late
Jiang settled her nerves, walked up two steps, and bowed properly: “Concubine Jiang, I have met Your Highness King Yan
My husband’s name is Ling Ji, and he is now a supervisor at the Imperial College
My father-in-law is the Ministry of Public Works as the Minister of Public Works”
The identity and history were clearly explained
Yan Wang also received some weekday errands, and went to the court to listen to politics every day
However, his usual contact is the six ministries of the Tangguan stream of characters, the district of a fourth-ranking Ministry of Public Works Langzhong, since it will not be placed in the bottom of the eye
At this moment, hearing Jiang’s words, King Yan’s mind only swept over the face of an extremely vague middle-aged man: “Is it Ling Zhiyuan Langzhong?”
Jiang respectfully answered yes
With Jiang’s appearance, King Yan’s attention was diverted, and it was inconvenient for him to stare at Ling Jingshu, “Your surname is Jiang, could it be that you are a descendant of a family member of the Duke of England’s House?”Yes My father’s name is Hao, and he now works in the Ministry of Rites
My concubine addresses the British Duke as cousin uncle”
Jiang is worthy of being from a prestigious family, after the initial panic, she quickly calms down and methodically introduces them one by one, “The one who spoke to His Highness just now is the cousin of the fifth house of the Ling family, and standing beside her is her twin brother, Ling Xiao”This is concubine’s little aunt, the youngest daughter of the Ling family’s house
Ranked eighth in the family”
Saying this, she gave Ling Jingyan a wink, “Yan, what are you still standing there for
Still not quick enough to come and greet His Highness King Yan”
In that gaze, there was a reminder and a warning
The young man in front of her was no ordinary person, and the Ling family could not afford to offend him
Jiang’s temper had always been gentle, and this kind of serious, almost stern gaze had almost never been seen before
Ling Jingyan was jolted and finally came to her senses, biting her lip, she came forward and saluted, “My little daughter, Ling Jingyan, I have met His Highness King Yan”
Ling Jingshu: “”What kind of woman is so generous to just say her maiden name
Ling Jingyan was truly mesmerized by King Yan, even the reserve of a maiden in a boudoir was thrown to the back of her mind
King Yan casually glanced at Ling Jingyan, “Be free”
Not compared to Ling Jingshu, in fact, Ling Jingyan is also a delicate and lovely beauty
However, with the jewels at her side, that well-dressed pretty face appeared to be blurred
King Yan still didn’t remember that the two of them had met before
