Chapter 111: Seeking

“..We encountered bandits on the boat that day. Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s timely rescue, we subdued those bandits. Otherwise, our entire Ling family would have been unsuccessful.”

“However, this matter concerns Ah Shu’s reputation, so it should not be publicized. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also instructed that this matter should not be spread. So after returning to the capital, we have never formally visited her to express our gratitude. Few people know about this.”

Sun’s face was full of gratitude, and it was not fake. She continued:

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and specially gave Ah Xiao a name card. They took the name card of the Crown Prince to Huichun Hall and saw the imperial physician Wei without queuing up for a number. This kindness is remembered by everyone in our Ling family.”

The Crown Princess’ eyes flickered repeatedly, and her expression became subtle.

The Crown Prince never told her about saving people.

She was unaware of the name card reward.

These are not the main points. The point is, when did her cold-faced and heartless son become so kind-hearted? Saving people and giving business cards. .

Was it for the Ling family or for this beautiful Miss Ling?

The Crown Princess's eyes fell on Ling Jingshu's face, and she unconsciously looked at her more.

Since the Crown Prince turned fourteen, his lifelong affairs have become the top priority in the Crown Prince's Mansion.

The Crown Princess has been secretly looking for a suitable Crown Prince's Consort, and she has a suitable candidate in mind.

Beauty and talent are of course indispensable, but more importantly, she must be born of a noble family and have an extraordinary family background, which is worthy of the status of the Crown Prince's Consort. She is also worthy of being the future Crown Princess and is qualified to be the mother of the country in the future.

Even the palace maids serving the Crown Prince were carefully selected. A clean family background, loyalty and reliability, and a beautiful appearance are all indispensable.

How could the Crown Princess not secretly doubt such a Miss Ling who suddenly appeared?

Ling Jingshu had been lowering her head slightly, but now she raised her head with a clear and sincere look: "Your Highness the Crown Prince saved my life and helped Axiao. We are grateful to you. I shouldn't bother you again, but for Axiao's illness, I have to come to your door and ask for help."

"Axiao needs acupuncture every five days. Doctor Wei usually stays in the palace and rarely leaves the palace. I heard that Doctor Wei will come to the Crown Prince's Mansion every five days to check the pulse of His Highness the Crown Prince. If Axiao comes to the Crown Prince's Mansion, it would be most appropriate to wait for Doctor Wei to check the pulse of His Highness the Crown Prince before giving him acupuncture."

As she said this, she pulled Ling Xiao forward, and the two siblings knelt down together.

"I know this is too abrupt and presumptuous, but after thinking about it, there is really no other way. So I mustered up the courage and came to your door to ask for help. I beg the Crown Princess to agree."

After that, she kowtowed three times solemnly and respectfully.

Jiang also stepped forward and bowed: "The Crown Princess is kind-hearted, and I think she can't bear to turn them away. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This matter is just a piece of cake for the Crown Princess, but for my cousin, it is a matter of life and death to cure his eye disease. Please be kind and merciful, Crown Princess!"

. .

The Crown Princess did not agree immediately.

Her eyes swept across Ling Jingshu's beautiful face, and her eyes were hard to read, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking. After a long while, she slowly said, "Since it is a matter of curing diseases and saving lives, I agree."

Ling Jingshu was relieved, and kowtowed three times with Ling Xiao: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your grace."

The Crown Princess pulled the corners of her lips, but there was not much smile in her eyes: "It's a piece of cake. It doesn't take much effort. It's just to prepare an empty guest room. You don't have to kneel. Please stand up!"

After Ling Jingshu and her brother stood up, the Crown Princess smiled again: "Miss Ling is not very old, but she speaks and acts calmly and considerately. She is always thinking about her brother. She is a smart and likable girl."

When she said the words "smart and likable", her tone seemed to be a little heavier.

Ling Jingshu sighed in her heart.

It is obvious that the Crown Princess regarded her as a girl who deliberately approached the Crown Prince with ulterior motives. .

She had this hidden worry before coming here, and deliberately dressed plainly to avoid attracting attention. After entering the Crown Prince's Mansion today, she kept her head down and didn't say a word, trying her best to keep a low profile. . Unexpectedly, it still aroused the fear and dislike of the Crown Princess.

In order to treat A Xiao, I will often go in and out of the Crown Prince's Mansion in the next few months. I will inevitably have to deal with the Crown Princess. It is naturally not a good impression to leave such an impression.

Ling Jingshu pretended not to hear the Crown Princess's implication, and said humbly and sincerely: "I am ashamed to be praised by the Crown Princess. I have no other thoughts, I just hope that Doctor Wei can cure A Xiao's eyes. As long as A Xiao can see the light of day again, I will be satisfied."

No other thoughts. .

Satisfied. .

The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows, looked at Ling Jingshu deeply, and smiled faintly: "Those who are content are always happy. Miss Ling is so young, she has such wisdom and enlightenment, which is really rare."

Ling Jingshu's heart fell a little.

It seems that her statement just now is still useful.

This Crown Princess looks gentle and approachable, but in fact, she is unpredictable and is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

When the Crown Prince was young, he led troops to fight several times, but he had few children, only two sons and one daughter. The Crown Prince is the legitimate son, born to the Crown Princess. There is another son and a daughter, both born to concubines.

Now the Crown Prince is weak and needs to rest, and should not worry about it. Most of the affairs of the Eastern Palace fall on the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince is young, he has become the pillar of the Eastern Palace.

His lifelong event is by no means a trivial matter.

It’s no wonder that the Crown Princess pays special attention to the boudoir girls that the Crown Prince has met.

. .

The purpose of the visit has been achieved, and it is inconvenient for everyone to stay any longer.

Sun took the initiative to stand up: "I am sorry to bother you today. I will take them to leave now."

As the Crown Princess, there is no need to be polite to the Ling family. She didn’t even say a few polite words like "Stay for lunch before leaving", and nodded in agreement.

Sun didn’t take it to heart.

What is her status, and what is the status of the Crown Princess? Do you still expect the noble Crown Princess to be attentive and warm to them?

When everyone was about to bow and leave together, a palace maid hurried in and reported: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, Princess Changping is here."

Princess Changping?

Ling Jingshu’s heart beat violently a few times, and hot blood rushed to her head. Her pretty face, which was drooping, flushed strangely, and her eyes flashed with a terrifyingly bright light.

Princess Changping!

It turned out to be her!

Ling Jingshu subconsciously clenched her fists, and soon loosened them slowly.

The other party was of noble status, and she was definitely not able to match him now. She wanted to take revenge, so she must not reveal her whereabouts. She couldn't even show the slightest sign of abnormality.
