Chapter 123 Thoughts

A maid quietly walked into the inner hall and whispered a few words in the ear of Lady Ye.

Lady Ye nodded and stepped forward to report: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, Doctor Wei has finished acupuncture for Mr. Ling and left. The Ling family came to thank the grace and are waiting outside. I wonder if the Crown Princess wants to see them?"

If you don't want to see them, just find an excuse to send the Ling family away.

The Crown Princess frowned at first: "No."

Before Lady Ye accepted the order, the Crown Princess suddenly changed her words: "Forget it, let them come in!"

The prince went to the guest room on purpose before, and his attitude towards Ling Jingshu was quite kind. Naturally, someone reported the situation at that time to the Crown Princess.

Lady Ye accepted the order and withdrew, and soon led Ling Jingshu and others in.

The Crown Princess's eyes fell on Ling Jingshu's delicate and flawless face, and she snorted in her heart.

It's just that she is a little more beautiful, and there is really no other advantage. How can it compare to Miss Su's elegant and scholarly air full of poetry and books. It can't compare to Miss Jiang San's natural nobility.

Ah Yao, who was just beginning to fall in love, was bewitched by this face...

Everyone stepped forward to pay their respects.

Jiang said respectfully: "We are sorry to bother you today. Doctor Wei has already treated Ah Xiao with acupuncture. We came here to thank the Crown Princess for her grace."

The Crown Princess smiled elegantly and reservedly: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth thanking, you are too polite."

"For the Crown Princess, it's a trivial matter. For us siblings, it's the most important thing." Ling Jingshu stepped forward and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, Crown Princess."

It was this pretense that deceived Ah Yao. Now even the Crown Prince was almost bewitched.

The Crown Princess continued to sneer in her heart, but her face was kind and friendly: "Forget it, don't bother with these empty formalities, get up quickly! You have to come every few days. If it's like this every time, you don't feel tired, but I do. In the future, just leave directly after acupuncture, no need to thank me."

This is what I was waiting for.

Ling Jingshu responded with a grateful look.

The Crown Princess still didn't mean to keep dinner, so everyone was naturally very tactful and immediately bowed and left.

...

When we returned to the Ling family, it was noon.

Lunch had already been prepared. Sun was not in a hurry to ask about the journey, and first invited Ling Jingshu and others to sit down and eat lunch together. After lunch, they moved to the inner hall together, and then asked carefully: "Ashu, did you have a smooth trip to the Prince's Mansion this time? Did you see Doctor Wei?"

"Yes!" Ling Jingyan rushed to answer: "Doctor Wei is really beautiful, I was almost stunned today."

Sun rolled her eyes at Ling Jingyan in a reproachful manner: "You are an unmarried girl, and you don't know how to speak in a subtle and tactful way." Then she looked at Ling Jingshu: "Ashu, Doctor Wei gave Axiao acupuncture!"

"Of course he did! And it took half an hour. The golden needles were thinner and longer, and they looked scary. In less than a while, Axiao was pierced into a hedgehog..."

No doubt, the person who rushed to answer was Ling Jingyan again.

Ling Jingshu laughed dumbly, and simply kept silent. Let Ling Jingyan, with a beaming face, tell everything that happened today.

When it was mentioned that the prince had also personally gone to the guest room, Sun's face suddenly lit up: "Is what you said true? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually went to visit you personally?"

The words rose, overflowing with surprise.

Ling Jingshu frowned slightly, and quickly took over the conversation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably heard Doctor Wei mention Axiao's eye disease, and was curious for a moment, so he came to see it on the way."

It's not just on the way, it's clearly on purpose.

Ling Jingyan was about to refute, but Ling Jingshu had already winked at her.

Well, if you don't allow me to say it, then don't say it! Ling Jingyan stopped talking a little angrily.

However, Sun was shrewd and sophisticated, and it was not so easy to fool. Immediately, she looked at Jiang with a smile: "Yu Niang, you are a few years older than A Yan and A Shu, so you can see things more clearly than them. Did His Royal Highness go there on the way today, or did he go there on purpose to visit?"

Jiang weighed the pros and cons, threw an apologetic look at Ling Jingshu, and answered honestly: "In my opinion, His Royal Highness must have gone there on purpose. Moreover, His Royal Highness paid close attention to A Shu and his attitude was very gentle."

After hearing this, Sun had her own thoughts in her mind, and she stopped asking questions, and instead ordered: "You have been running around for a whole morning, now go back to your room to rest! Especially A Xiao, who is now treating an eye disease and can't delay taking medicine."

Everyone responded in unison and left.

...

After returning to the room, Jing Yu first boiled the medicine and brought it over. Ling Jingshu took the medicine bowl and fed Ling Xiao the medicine.

Ling Xiao finished drinking the medicine, looking tired, but he refused to lie down to rest. He pulled Ling Jingshu's hand and said, "Ah Shu, I have something to tell you."

"You've been running around for a long time today, and you just drank the medicine. You must be tired. Take a nap first!" Ling Jingshu held Ling Xiao's hand with her backhand and coaxed him softly, "If you have anything to say, just wait until you wake up."

Ling Xiao was very persistent: "No, I want to tell you now."

It's rare to see Ling Xiao so stubborn.

Ling Jingshu smiled and sat down on the bed, saying softly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! What do you want to say, I'm listening!"

Ling Xiao didn't know where to start for a while, and squeezed out a few words after a long while: "Ah Shu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly has some feelings for you. Why don't you appreciate it today?"

The Crown Prince is of noble status. If Ah Shu can marry into the Crown Prince's mansion in the future, it will be a good thing.

Ling Jingshu restrained the smile on her face and asked instead: "Ah Xiao, do you really think the Crown Prince will be a good destination?"

Without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak, she continued lightly: "As you said, the Crown Prince is of noble status. His marriage is related to the future of the East Palace, and he cannot make the decision at all. Even if he has some feelings for me, he can't marry me as his principal wife."

"With our Ling family's family background, I can only be a concubine at most. I don't want to share my husband with other women, nor do I want to compromise. To put it another way, even if I am willing to compromise, the Crown Princess may not be satisfied with me."

"You should have seen something about the Crown Princess's attitude today. On the surface, she seems to be quite friendly, but in fact, she is wary of me everywhere. It is obvious that she has no good feelings for me. If I really marry the Crown Prince, I don't know how much suffering I will suffer in the future."

"Do you still think that I should accept the favor of the Crown Prince?"

In fact, there is another most important reason that has not been said.

She suffers from a strange disease that prevents her from getting close to men, and she can't and won't marry and have children in this life. She didn't want to provoke any man.

Whether the crown prince was good or not had nothing to do with her.
