Chapter 109: Visiting the House 1

The Prince's Palace in the East Palace is very close to the Imperial Palace.

Calculating the distance, it only takes a stick of incense to get from the palace gate to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Prince An's Mansion, Prince Kang's Mansion, and Prince Yan's Mansion are also close to the palace, not far from the Prince's Mansion. Princess Changping's residence and Prince Rong's residence are both near the palace.

Land in the inner city of Luoyang is very expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to buy houses, so most of them live in the outer city. Those who can afford to live in the inner city are either rich or expensive. There are many fourth-grade officials like Uncle Ling who lead a large family and live in three-level houses.

The streets here are more than twice as spacious and smooth as ordinary Fangshi streets. Any mansion covers an extremely large area and is extremely luxurious with its carved beams and paintings.

Imperial power was supreme, and the Yang family became the most noble bloodline in the Zhou Dynasty. The princes, queens, grandchildren, and royal relatives have become the most noble and special group of people in the world. They have various privileges that are above the laws of the Great Zhou...

And her enemy is among them.

Ling Jingshu raised the car curtain, looked through the car window for a while, and then quietly lowered the car curtain.

Jiang looked at Ling Jingshu's calm profile and couldn't guess what she was thinking.

A boudoir girl of this age has no worries about food and clothing every day. Shouldn't she live happily every day and her biggest concern is thinking about the boy she likes, just like my sister-in-law Ling Jingyan?

(Ling Jingyan objected angrily: Hey, just give an example. Why do you always use me as a negative example?!)

Ling Jingshu was a few months younger than Ling Jingyan, but she was not impetuous at all. She had a smile on her face and a quiet expression. No one could see into her thoughts.

Today I have to go to the Prince's Mansion to ask for an audience with the Crown Princess, but I don't see much anxiety in her...

"Cousin, why do you keep staring at me today?" Ling Jingshu's smiling voice interrupted Jiang's thoughts.

Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses and joked with a smile: "You are the most beautiful in this carriage. Who else are you looking at?"

Ling Jingshu smiled: "Sister-in-law, please don't praise me like that. In my eyes, my cousin-in-law is really good if she is smart, kind, gentle and considerate!"

Jiang pursed her lips and laughed: "You said I can praise people, but you are the one who really knows how to praise people! Every word you say goes into my heart."

While they were talking and laughing, Mrs. Sun said abruptly: "Yu Niang has been married for several years, and there is really nothing to criticize. It would be even better if she could get pregnant and add a white, fat golden grandson to our Ling family."

here we go again!

Jiang's smile froze slightly.

Every time this topic was brought up, she seemed to be struck in her shortcomings, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Ling Jingshu intended to help Jiang's family, and changed the subject with a smile: "Auntie, the Prince's Mansion will be here soon! It's been almost an hour since the carriage left."

Mrs. Sun lifted the car curtain and looked outside, then smiled and said, "It's right in front."

...

The regulations of the Prince's Mansion are higher than those of the Prince and Princess's Mansion.

Tall and mighty stone lions are located on both sides of the gate. The guards of the East Palace wearing armor and holding spears stand neatly in two rows at the door, exuding majesty and coldness.

Of course, the carriage cannot stop at the door. This is a great disrespect to His Royal Highness. There were still dozens of meters to go before the carriage had to be stopped. Then send the steward to the side door to submit a name card.

After receiving the name card, the concierge of the Prince's Mansion went in first to deliver the report. Only when the Crown Princess agrees will the person be allowed in.

After Ms. Sun sent someone to submit her name, she was also a little worried: "I don't know if the Crown Princess is free today or willing to see us."

Logically speaking, if you want to see the Crown Princess, you should send a greeting invitation two days in advance. Wait for the Crown Princess' approval before visiting. This time, I was in a hurry to follow the authority and walked in so rashly. It would be embarrassing if I was turned away.

Compared to Sun, Jiang was much calmer and said with a smile: "The Crown Princess has a gentle and gentle temperament. She should meet us whenever she is free."

As a girl from the Jiang family, even if she is a concubine, the pride of a distinguished family flows in her blood. When talking about the Crown Princess, her tone was much more natural than that of Sun.

Sun's uneasy mood immediately calmed down after being comforted by her daughter-in-law. I couldn't help but think in my heart that the master had made the right decision by putting all the effort into getting married.

It would be better if my daughter-in-law could give birth to a grandson earlier!

...

The porter could not enter the inner house, so he gave the greeting card to the palace maid guarding the door. The palace maid then sent the greeting card to Lady Ye who was next to the Crown Princess.

Ms. Ye is about twenty years old, with an oval face and quite beautiful appearance. My skirt didn't move as I walked, my steps were silent, and I entered the inner hall lightly:

"To report to the Crown Princess, the family members of Dr. Ling from the Ministry of Industry have sent a greeting letter to ask for an audience."

The woman sitting in the inner hall had her head lowered and was looking through the account books in the mansion. After hearing this, she raised her head and asked casually: "Have you sent a greeting card before?"

This woman is the Crown Princess Su.

The emperor's grandson is fifteen this year, and the princess gave birth to the emperor's grandson when she was eighteen. In this way, the Crown Princess will be thirty-three this year. But the Crown Princess was pampered and well-maintained, with a face that was lightly made up, beautiful and dignified, and had an outstanding temperament. He looks to be in his twenties at most.

The Crown Princess came from a scholarly family, and her father, Su Yu, was a great scholar of the dynasty. He was a former imperial concubine, and was also the prince's tutor. His disciples are all over the government and the public, and he has an excellent reputation among scholars.

Ms. Ye responded respectfully: "No, I was probably in a hurry to come to the door, and I forgot this etiquette in a moment of urgency."

The Crown Princess didn't say anything, she just frowned slightly.

Official Ye was obviously familiar with the Crown Princess's temper, and asked tentatively: "If the Crown Princess doesn't want to see them, can you ask the doorman to return the visiting card?"

"Forget it! Since you are here, just meet them!"

The Crown Princess said indifferently: "The Ling family is nothing, but Doctor Ling is devoted to the Eastern Palace. If I don't meet the family when they come, it will be disheartening. Moreover, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ling family is surnamed Jiang, and she is also a distant relative of the Crown Prince."

In the final analysis, Jiang's weight is more important.

Official Ye understood, smiled and responded, turned around and went out, passed the order, and then turned back.

"By the way, Changping sent someone to say hello the day before yesterday, saying that he would come to the mansion today. Why is there no sign of him until now?" The Crown Princess asked casually as if she remembered something.

Ye Nuguan hurriedly responded: "Maybe something delayed him. Otherwise, I will send someone to ask."

The Crown Princess curled her lips: "That's not necessary."

Given Princess Changping's impulsive temper, she might have forgotten about this matter after seeing something new and interesting.

If she really came, it would be terrible.

As soon as she saw that she didn't wait for her and that the Ling family was also there, Changping would definitely get angry.
