Chapter 215: Choosing a Concubine Part 3

The Crown Prince finally decided on the candidate for the Crown Princess.

This was good news for her. The Crown Prince would soon get married, so he would not miss her anymore!

However, Su Ying was really pitiful.

She and the Crown Prince were childhood sweethearts, and her heart was tied to the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess was her aunt, and she was also very kind to her. Su Ying, who was waiting to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion, probably never thought that she would lose to Jiang Rongyue!

Perhaps the pity in Ling Jingshu's eyes was too obvious.

Su Ying smiled bitterly, and her voice was very low: "This matter has not been publicized yet, but after today, it will probably be officially decided..."

The voice became lower and lower, and gradually became inaudible.

Two days ago, the Crown Princess secretly sent someone back to the Su Mansion and quietly revealed the news to the Su family.

For Su Ying, this was simply a bolt from the blue. She had hardly eaten a grain of rice in the past two days and was extremely haggard. Today, I had no choice but to come to the Duke of Ying's mansion to watch the ceremony.

The people around were laughing and talking, and Jiang Rongyue was in high spirits, which made Su Ying's sadness more obvious.

Ling Jingshu sighed silently, gently held Su Ying's hand, and was not able to comfort her for a while.

A housekeeper walked in with a smile and said loudly: "Miss San, the Crown Princess has arrived. Madam asked me to pass on a message. Please ask Miss San and all the ladies to move to the inner hall now."

Jiang Rongyue smiled and responded, her eyes were full of beautiful eyes, and she said crisply: "Everyone follow me!"

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Ling Jingshu deliberately slowed down her pace, walked side by side with Su Ying, and said softly: "Sister Su, don't be too sad. Marriage between men and women is about fate. Maybe you and him are less destined."

Yes!

What can I do if I am unwilling!

The Su family already had a crown princess, and originally hoped to have another crown grandson. But the crown grandson preferred the Jiang family, and the crown prince also preferred the Duke of Ying's mansion, so the crown princess alone could not change the situation.

Su Ying took a deep breath, suppressed all the bitterness and resentment in her heart, and then looked at Ling Jingshu: "Sister Ling, you have been comforting me. What about you, don't you have any resentment in your heart?"

Ling Jingshu: "..."

Very few people know that the crown grandson is interested in her. How could Su Ying know?

After Su Ying said it, she also knew that she had spoken out of turn, and whispered a little apologetically: "My aunt mentioned it to me once. Don't worry, I have never told anyone."

If she was not in a depressed and chaotic mood, she would not have blurted out these words.

Ling Jingshu calmed down and whispered to Su Ying: "Sister Su, whether you believe it or not, I have never had such an idea."

Su Ying looked at her with a complicated look and said nothing more.

...

The ceremony of the coming-of-age ceremony is the same.

The Crown Princess, with her delicate makeup and elegant manners, was the main guest with a smile on her face. Jiang Rongyue, who was always lively, was particularly quiet, calm and generous today.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince came to watch the ceremony together. The Crown Prince was fine, but the Crown Prince had been living in seclusion in recent years and rarely left the house. Today, his appearance at the Duke of England's mansion shocked almost everyone.

The Duke of England and his wife also had a particularly bright look on their faces, and their smiles never stopped.

Su Ying and Ling Jingshu stood in the corner together, their eyes fell on the handsome and cold face of the Crown Prince, and their hearts were broken.

They were obviously very close, but so far away.

The Crown Prince seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes swept over, looking over through the heavy figures, and his eyes slightly touched Su Ying's. He quickly moved his eyes away and fell on the girl next to Su Ying.

Familiar eyebrows, calm face. Occasionally, his eyes met with his, still calm and composed, without any loss or sadness.

With her intelligence, she must have guessed the reason why he appeared in the Duke of Ying's mansion!

He was going to marry another woman. Would she be a little sad and upset? No, it shouldn't be! She had never been moved by him and avoided him as much as possible. Knowing that he was going to marry, she would only feel fortunate in her heart...

A sharp and fierce pain swept over, spreading from the bottom of her heart to her limbs.

Her chest seemed to be blocked by a huge rock, and she couldn't breathe.

The Crown Prince clenched his fists hard, forcing himself to look away.

...

After the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone took their seats.

Su Ying was full of worries and had no appetite.

Ling Jingshu was relaxed and had a good appetite. Unfortunately, before she could fill her stomach, trouble came.

Qiao Yun walked to Ling Jingshu lightly and whispered quickly.

Ling Jingshu frowned slightly, but knew that she couldn't refuse, so she nodded gently. She found an excuse to leave early. Qiao Yun led the way without saying a word, and led Ling Jingshu to a room.

The Crown Prince was waiting for her in this room.

Qiao Yun closed the door neatly, and went outside with Wang Tong to take a walk.

Ling Jingshu and the Crown Prince stood opposite each other in the room.

The Crown Prince stared at Ling Jingshu with his deep eyes, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

"Your Highness," Ling Jingshu bowed and saluted: "I wonder if Your Highness summoned me here, what do you want to tell me?"

The emperor's grandson forcefully squeezed out a few words: "My father, queen, mother and concubine accompanied me to the British Duke's residence today, not only to watch the ceremony, but also to discuss with the British Duke my marriage to Miss Jiang San. If nothing unexpected happens , this marriage will be decided soon. My father will go to the palace in person and report the marriage to the imperial grandfather and grandma, and the matter will be finalized. "

Ling Jingshu showed no surprise and responded quickly: "Miss Jiang San comes from a family with outstanding talents, beauty and character. She and His Highness are a match made in heaven. First of all, congratulations to Your Highness!"

Sure enough, this is the reaction!

The emperor's grandson stiffened, and a trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to walk away, but he couldn't move.

The weak voice in my heart became louder and louder, stirring endlessly in my heart.

try again! Regardless of the outcome, he would try again. Otherwise, how could he be willing to do so?

The emperor's grandson took a deep breath, put down his self-esteem and pride for the first time in his life, and whispered: "Ling Jingshu, there are only two of us here, please stop wearing this hypocritical mask and talk to me. Now, I am just a like Your boy."

"I know that I have many shortcomings. I am too proud and don't bother to let go of my status. I clearly like you in my heart, but I can't let go of the word power. I want to marry Jiang Rongyue, not because I like her, but to win over the British princess. Government, in order to suppress King Yan.”

"But, I regret it now."

"I don't want to marry her. The person I like is you. I just want to marry you!"
