Chapter 154: Confession 1
Actually, there is really nothing to be angry about.
The Crown Prince is in a high position and is used to giving orders. Such a person will never understand what it feels like to be forced by power. Nor will he know how arrogant and disgusting such behavior is.
What's more, she also hopes to see him alone.
She has been in the capital for more than two months, and has been busy treating Ah Xiao's eye disease. Her revenge plan has not yet begun. Today is a good opportunity.
Wang Tong is tall and has a cold face. As the leader of the Crown Prince's personal guards, he is quite prestigious in the Prince's Mansion and is always noticed wherever he goes.
Ling Jingshu and Bai Yu followed behind Wang Tong, which naturally attracted the curious eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs.
The fact that the Crown Prince summoned her alone will surely be heard by the Crown Princess soon! Given the Crown Princess's personality, her prejudice against her may be even deeper... However, there is nothing to worry about.
She has no intention of climbing up the dragon and attaching herself to the phoenix, nor does she have any ambition to marry the Crown Prince.
It doesn't matter whether the Crown Princess likes her or not.
Wang Tong led Ling Jingshu and her servant into the Haohan Hall, saying, "This is where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives." He paused and added meaningfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always disliked outsiders coming in and out, and Miss Ling is the first woman to enter the Haohan Hall."
So, should she show her flattered ecstasy?
Ling Jingshu pulled the corner of her lips, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she replied lightly, "I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will meet me."
Her voice was calm.
Wang Tong's face flashed with surprise, and he quickly replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made arrangements, Miss Ling, don't worry, just follow me."
...
It is not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be alone in a room.
The Crown Prince specially chose a pavilion. The guards, either openly or secretly, stood seven or eight meters away. This way, they would not hear the people in the pavilion talking, and they could protect the Crown Prince's safety at any time.
More importantly, with so many guards present, it was enough to clear the suspicion of being alone.
Ling Jingshu was walking in the corridor, and she saw the figure of the Crown Prince from a distance.
The Crown Prince stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from her.
He turned around when he heard the footsteps. When her figure fell into his eyes, his deep and cold eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
A young man who had just begun to fall in love saw the girl he liked. No matter how calm he was, he could not completely control the torrent in his heart.
Thinking of what he was going to say to her next, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Boom! Boom!
She looked up and looked over, her eyes were a little complicated. Her steps were still unhurried, and her graceful figure was extremely moving.
Wang Tong stopped a few meters away, and called the loyal Bai Yu in time: "Bai Yu, you just wait here." Although Bai Yu was reluctant, she still stopped.
Ling Jingshu came forward and bowed: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Hot blood flowed through his temples, and his mouth was dry. His body was also strangely stiff. After a while, the Crown Prince exhaled deeply, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ling Jingshu stood up gracefully: "I don't know why Your Highness summoned me here?"
What's the matter?
How could he say it?
The Crown Prince's mind was a little confused.
The scene when they first met suddenly emerged in his mind. Her face was pale and her expression was stubborn and stubborn. She killed the robber with a knife, which left a deep impression in his heart.
She was eloquent and smart when she refuted him, which also impressed him.
Unfortunately, after arriving in the capital, the distance between the two was inexplicably far away. When they met again, there was no tense confrontation, only respect and alienation...
It was because they wanted to avoid suspicion!
She was so smart, how could she not see that her mother disliked her? She was so proud and stubborn, how could she be willing to lower herself to please her mother?
Thinking of what his mother said to him after returning from the Su Mansion yesterday, the eyes of the Crown Prince darkened.
"Ayao, you are already old, and it is time to choose a concubine and get married. Your father and I like Ying'er and Rongyue. Ying'er is unparalleled in talent and beauty and gentle in temperament. Rongyue is the only legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ying's Mansion, and she is cute and naive. Both of them are childhood sweethearts with you. No matter which one you marry, it will be a good thing."
"Which one do you like in your heart?"
No!
He only has a brotherly love for Su Ying, and he has never thought of Jiang Rongyue. He doesn't like any of them and wants to marry them!
He pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Mother, I..."
Mother seemed to know what he was going to say, and quickly interrupted him: "Ayao, you are the grandson of the emperor, and you will be the crown prince and the emperor in the future. Your first wife must be a noble lady from a famous family. Talent and beauty are secondary, and more importantly, her family background must be worthy of you."
"Others see the grand and glorious Prince's Mansion, but they don't know the danger we are facing. I don't know how many people are secretly watching the every move of the Prince's Mansion, and I don't know how many conspiracies are waiting for you and your son."
"At this time, you can't be willful. I will never allow you to marry a low-status girl who suddenly appears beside you! Your father will not allow it either!"
"If you really can't let her go, I will reluctantly give in and allow you to marry her as a concubine. However, this must at least wait until you get married. Wait until you marry Ying'er or Rongyue, and wait until your wife is pregnant, then you can consider this matter. Otherwise, I will never agree."
...
After returning from his mother-in-law's place, his mind was in confusion and he almost stayed up all night.
It wasn't until dawn, when he thought that today was the day when Imperial Physician Wei came into the house to diagnose Ping An's pulse for his father that she would definitely bring Ling Xiao there, that he woke up from the darkness.
He wants to see her!
He wants to pour out all his thoughts!
He wanted to tell her that although he could not marry her as his wife, the person he really liked in his heart was her. He will definitely compensate her twice in the future.
Therefore, she cannot fall in love with others. She must have confidence in him and wait for him!
He waited for her with joy and nervousness. But at the moment when their eyes met, he suddenly realized that under her clear and calm gaze, he couldn't express what was in his heart at all.
The emperor's grandson didn't speak for a long time.
Ling Jingshu waited patiently for a long time, without urging or being impatient.
The emperor's grandson composed himself and finally summoned up the courage, but what he said was completely irrelevant to what he wanted to say: "Uncle Sixth Emperor knows that you are coming today, and with his temperament, he may come here soon. "
etc! What is he talking about?
The emperor's grandson frowned, feeling quite annoyed and dissatisfied with his performance.
