Chapter 185 Thoughts

After all, he was still thinking about Ling Jingshu.

Empress Xu couldn't help but glare at Prince Yan again: "What kind of drug did Ling Jingshu give you that made you so obsessed with her?"

Prince Yan smiled cheekily: "Don't worry about it, mother. Anyway, I just like her. Mother just said that a woman is insignificant and will not affect the overall situation. In this case, I will follow my heart and take her into the palace."

Without waiting for Empress Xu to glare, Prince Yan immediately said: "Don't worry, mother, I know the importance. I will marry Miss Wang Er first, and then take the concubine when the main wife is pregnant. Even if I favor her a little in the future, I will never do anything to favor a concubine over a wife."

"Fine words! What nonsense!"

Empress Xu was not so easy to fool. She sneered and said, "You were born in my belly. Don't I know what kind of personality and temper you have? You have never lacked beauties around you in the past two years. How can you care so much about a woman? If you really let your temper run wild, I don't know what will happen in the future."

If the Prince of Yan really let the people into the mansion, it would be up to the Prince of Yan to favor one of them. Even if she is the queen of the six palaces and the mother of the Prince of Yan, it is not convenient for her to interfere in the inner house of the Prince of Yan's mansion.

The Prince of Yan said this now, but he just coaxed her to nod and agree.

The Prince of Yan was exposed, and he had no shame on his face. He said confidently: "Mother, I have agreed to marry Miss Wang Er, and Ling Jingshu will only be a concubine when she enters the palace. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Without waiting for Empress Xu to speak, she said a little unhappy: "I am not the only one who cares about her. If I am slow, it will be difficult to get what I want."

Empress Xu's eyes flashed, and she raised the corners of her lips with a smile: "Are you talking about the grandson?"

This Ling Jingshu is really capable. She has been in the capital for only a few months, and she has fascinated the grandson and the Prince of Yan.

"Who else but him." The Prince of Yan snorted, with some indignation in his tone: "He happened to be one step ahead of me and saved Ling Jingshu on the way to the capital."

This life-saving grace is the easiest to give rise to love between men and women.

Empress Xu rolled her eyes at Prince Yan impatiently: "You should focus on the right things. What good will it do to think about these love affairs all day long?"

After a pause, she said proudly: "You are the emperor's most beloved youngest son and my only son. The crown prince can't compete with you even if he wants to."

The country and the beauty will all belong to Prince Yan!

The Prince of Yan heard the relaxation in Empress Xu's tone and was secretly pleased. This joy made him speak a little more boldly: "Your Majesty, I am relieved when you say this. Speaking of which, it is also a good thing for me to marry Ling Jingshu. Lest that Wei Yan also have thoughts..."

Empress Xu's smile froze slightly, and a hint of sternness flashed in her eyes. Pretending to be nonchalant, she interrupted the King of Yan: "You are becoming more and more out of line in your words. A gentleman loves a beautiful and intelligent girl. Are you the only one allowed to like her and not others?"

"The Imperial Doctor Wei is 24 years old this year. He is still unmarried at this age. Concubine Wei is so anxious. Even the emperor occasionally asks about his marriage. If the Imperial Doctor Wei and Ling Jingshu are in love with each other, it would be a good thing."

The words were high-sounding, showing the queen's demeanor as the mother of the country.

"Mother, you are right. I just said something wrong." The King of Yan immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

What Queen Xu said was very pleasant, but her behavior was not the case. If Queen Xu hadn't interfered, how could Wei Yan have been alone?

The marriage that year and Lu Zhu's sudden death were all done by Queen Xu.

Do you really think that no one can see through her shameful thoughts?

Empress Xu suddenly lost interest in talking and said casually: "I am a little tired today, you go back first! I have my own arrangements for Ling Jingshu's affairs. You are not allowed to see her again these days, so as not to spread rumors. It is always bad if the Duke of Ping knows about it."

Prince Yan responded and left the Pepper Room.

...

After noon, Xinyun sent Ling Jingshu out of the palace and returned to Ling Mansion.

Bai Yu waited in the side hall for half a day, holding back a lot of words. However, it was inconvenient to say more in front of Xinyun. He just silently accepted the brocade box awarded by Empress Xu.

No words along the way.

After arriving at Ling Mansion, Xinyun did not stay and immediately returned to the palace to report.

Sun, Jiang, Ling Jingyan and Ling Xiao were looking forward to it, and finally waited for Ling Jingshu to come back. Almost immediately surrounded her and asked questions.

"Ashu, you went to the palace to see the Concubine today, didn't you? How did the Concubine treat you?"

"Ashu, did you see Princess Anya?"

"Ashu, were these brocades given by the Concubine?"

...

Ling Jingshu patiently answered one by one: "The Concubine is kind and friendly. I also saw Princess Anya, she has not recovered yet and is still resting in bed. These brocades were given by the Empress."

What? Ling Jingshu actually met Empress Xu?

Everyone was stunned.

Ling Xiao's face was not very happy, but frowned: "Why did the Empress summon you suddenly?" She also gave you something, and this special look made people feel uneasy for some reason.

Ling Jingshu didn't want Ling Xiao to worry, so she pretended to smile casually and said: "The Empress also knew about Princess Anya falling into the water. When Princess Changping entered the palace, she praised me twice in front of the Empress. The Empress was curious and called I will go to the Jiaofang Palace to meet you. Don’t worry, I handled it well today. Not only did the Empress give me a reward, but she also asked Empress Jieyu to invite me to the palace in the future.”

Everyone was surprised and happy.

What makes her happy is that Ling Jingshu has luck, and what surprises her about it.

Both Wei Jieyu and Empress Xu were unattainable figures for them. If Ling Jingshu was often called into the palace, she would be extremely dignified.

But if there is an accident and angers the nobles in the palace, it will be an unbearable disaster for the Ling family.

Sun's heart was mixed with joy and sorrow, but a smile appeared on her face: "The Queen and Empress Jieyu favor Ah Shu very much. This is Ah Shu's blessing. If I have the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, it will be something that no one else can ask for." That’s a good thing! Ah Xiao, just relax.”

Then he smiled at Ling Jingshu and said: "Ah Shu, since the Queen has said so, I think she will call you into the palace from time to time in the future. You should be more careful in dressing up. I will have someone come to your door tomorrow to make some new clothes for you. skirt and some exquisite jewelry.”

Ling Jingshu did not refuse, but smiled and thanked her.
