Chapter 315: The Birth of a Young Wife

Ling Jingshu, who was in the prison, was unaware of all the disturbances outside.

After getting up and washing up, Bai Yu suddenly said, "Miss, today is June 12."

Ling Jingshu was stunned.

Is it already June 12? Before I knew it, it has been almost two months since I entered the prison.

"At this time in previous years, I could make a bowl of longevity noodles for you." Bai Yu sighed sadly, "Speaking of which, this year is your coming of age. I didn't expect that you would spend it in prison."

Coming of age is undoubtedly an important event for a young girl.

If it were in the Ling Mansion, there would be many guests today, and a grand coming of age ceremony would be held.

Now, the young lady has to stay in the dim prison to spend the most important birthday in her life!

The more Bai Yu thought about it, the more sad she felt, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe away her tears.

It is impossible to say that Ling Jingshu didn't have any sigh in her heart. However, after going through so many things, being able to live safely is the most important thing.

"Speaking of which, this is also a rare experience." Ling Jingshu half-jokingly and half-self-deprecatingly said: "When I recall it in the future, this day of coming of age will be particularly special. After all, how many people can celebrate their birthdays in the palace's prison?"

Bai Yu was full of sadness and said, "Miss, please stop teasing me. What can I remember about celebrating my birthday in the prison? I don't even have new clothes or new jewelry."

Before entering the prison, there was no such thing as packing clothes and luggage. When I came, I had nothing. The clothes I wore on weekdays were all distributed uniformly in the prison. The gray dresses were simple in style and of poor quality.

Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and deliberately turned around in a pretentious manner: "Miss, I am naturally beautiful and I am a beauty in anything I wear. Why do I need fancy clothes?"

Bai Yu was teased by Ling Jingshu and couldn't help laughing again.

Cui Liu stood outside the door without knowing when, unlocked it neatly, and then came in with breakfast.

Ling Jingshu was stunned when she saw it.

There were actually two bowls of noodles on the tray. The noodles were still steaming hot, and the thin white noodles, paired with green leaves, made people's appetite doubled.

This was the first time noodles were delivered since entering the prison. Usually, they were mostly porridge and steamed buns.

Is it a coincidence?

Ling Jingshu looked at Cui Liu gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Cui Liu."

Cui Liu smiled meaningfully: "You don't have to thank me. I was ordered to bring the birthday noodles. I heard that today is Ling's fifteenth birthday. In this prison, there is really nothing else, so I can only prepare birthday noodles."

As she said that, she quickly stuffed a long and thin box and a letter into Ling Jingshu's hands.

...

No need to guess, you know who sent it.

Such gentle and careful concern penetrated into the heart like a gentle breeze and drizzle.

"Miss, Doctor Wei is really thoughtful."

Bai Yu's slightly excited voice sounded in her ears: "He even knew your birthday and asked someone to prepare longevity noodles. By the way, what's in this box? It can't be a birthday gift!"

Ling Jingshu was also curious, so she put the letter aside and opened the box first.

In the slender box, there was an ebony hairpin. The style was not complicated, but the carving was very delicate. The head of the hairpin was carved into a blooming peony, which was lifelike and very unique.

Opening the letter, there were only two short sentences in the letter.

Ashu, happy birthday! This is a hairpin I carved by myself to express my feelings.

Something seemed to break out of the ground in my heart, filling my chest.

Ling Jingshu's eyes were a little hot.

Bai Yu said lightly: "Miss, eat the longevity noodles first! This noodles should be eaten while hot, otherwise it will not taste good when it is cold."

Ling Jingshu hummed and sat down with Bai Yu to eat the longevity noodles.

The person in charge of the meals in the prison was not a skilled imperial chef, but just the most ordinary maid in the palace. The skill of making noodles was not very good. The noodles were a little thin, not chewy, and the taste was a little light. Two poached eggs were turned out from the bowl of noodles, which was an unexpected surprise.

This was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.

Ling Jingshu slowly finished a bowl of noodles. Her stomach quickly warmed up, and the warmth quickly spread to her whole body.

After eating the noodles, Ling Jingshu burned the letter and smiled at Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, you comb my hair for me again and use this ebony hairpin."

Bai Yu smiled and responded.

In front of the simple dressing mirror, Bai Yu carefully combed Ling Jingshu's long hair with a wooden comb, and then tied it into a simple bun. Finally, the ebony hairpin was inserted next to the bun.

There was no makeup, no beautiful new clothes and jewelry.

The girl in the bronze mirror had pink cheeks and bright eyes, emitting a dazzling light.

Bai Yu felt extremely relieved when he saw Ling Jingshu like this.

Perhaps because of the strange disease, the young lady was cold and indifferent to all men. Even the favor of the Crown Prince had never moved her. Bai Yu had secretly worried that if this continued, what would the young lady do in the future? Would she really be single and alone for the rest of her life?

Now, Bai Yu felt that she didn't need to worry about this problem anymore.

Doctor Wei used his gentleness, persistence and affection to open the young lady's heart little by little.

…

Cui Liu returned soon.

Bai Yu smiled and greeted her: "Miss Cui Liu, the dishes have been cleaned up, you just need to take them away."

Cui Liu looked a little strange: "I'm not here to clean up the dishes. The commander said that the emperor wants to summon Ling. Now please follow me."

What?

Why did the emperor suddenly want to summon her?

Ling Jingshu had a not-so-good premonition in her heart, but she also knew that this was the emperor's order and could not be refused, so she immediately agreed: "Yes, I'll leave now."

Bai Yu immediately said: "Miss, this slave will also go with you."

She wants to live and die with the lady!

Ling Jingshu heard the implication of Bai Yu's words, and her eyes softened: "Okay, let's go together."

Cuiliu didn't say much. Leading the master and servant Ling Jingshu out.

If the emperor wanted to execute Ling Jingshu, all he needed was an oral order. Now if he wants to summon Ling Jingshu in person, his life should not be in danger. Maybe there will be some unexpected good things.

Cuiliu glanced at Ling Jingshu, who was still beautiful and outstanding after being in the prison for two months, and secretly made a calculation in her heart.

Seeing Ling Jingshu walking out of the prison, Ruilian Qiu Shuang and others began to become restless. They all pressed against the iron door and looked at Ling Jingshu helplessly: "Why can she get out? What about us?"

Cuiliu glared back fiercely: "This is the emperor's personal order to summon Lady Officer Ling. What are you making such a fuss about?"

When Ruilian and others heard that it was the imperial order, they were immediately speechless. They watched Ling Jingshu's figure disappear around the corner, feeling both envy and hatred in their hearts.
