Chapter 124: As You Wish?

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment before he sighed, "Since you have thought so clearly and made up your mind, then stay away from the Crown Prince in the future! In order to avoid any trouble in the future, the Crown Princess will be angry with you again."

It's rare that Ling Xiao thinks so clearly.

The Crown Princess looks gentle, but in fact she is proud and self-respecting. She is used to being high and mighty, and will only blame or vent her anger on others for everything.

Ling Jingshu pulled the corner of her lips and nodded in agreement: "Well, I listen to you, stay away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."

In fact, if you want to use the power of the East Palace to take revenge, you can't avoid having contact with the Crown Prince.

If you don't want to get involved in a private relationship between men and women, you have to make your attitude clear at the beginning, so as to avoid misunderstandings from the Crown Prince.

After Ling Xiao fell asleep, Ling Jingshu carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for him. Sitting by the bed, waiting for Ling Xiao to fall asleep before leaving.

Just when she thought Ling Xiao had fallen asleep, Ling Xiao suddenly asked, "Ashu, what do you think of Doctor Wei?"

Ling Jingshu laughed dumbly.

"Ashu, what's wrong with you today? One moment you're talking about the Crown Prince, the next moment you're talking about Doctor Wei. I'm not old enough to worry about getting married, so do I have to settle down now?"

Ling Xiao was embarrassed by the laughter: "That's not what I meant. I just always hear you praising Doctor Wei for his handsomeness and good medical skills, so I..."

"Okay, don't think about it anymore." Ling Jingshu smiled and said in a brisk tone: "The most important thing for you now is to cure your eyes, don't always think about it."

Ling Xiao responded obediently, closed his eyes, and fell asleep soon.

Ling Jingshu stared at Ling Xiao's quiet sleeping face, her expression gentle and calm.

...

That night.

Mr. Ling returned home early. He put on airs in front of the younger generation and ate dinner as usual.

After returning to the house, Master Ling immediately revealed his true colors, and asked excitedly, "Did they have a smooth trip to the Prince's Mansion today?"

As expected of an old couple who have been married for more than 20 years, they even use almost the same questioning phrases.

Sun knew what Master Ling wanted to ask the most, and immediately smiled and told everything she had heard during the day: "...The Crown Prince showed up early in the morning, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to the guest room to see them. I heard from Yu Niang that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paid special attention to Ah Shu."

"It was not only smooth for them to go to the Prince's Mansion today, it was simply a dream come true."

Whose dream came true?

Of course it was Master Ling!

Master Ling's heart, which had been hanging for a day, suddenly fell to the ground, and he smiled happily: "Good, good, good, great! Fifth brother has achieved nothing for so many years, but he has a good daughter."

The matter is obvious.

The Crown Prince has already taken a fancy to Ling Jingshu, and he was waiting outside the study early.

As for the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was a pleasant surprise.

Seeing that Master Ling was so happy, Sun was also happy in her heart. After thinking for a while, she said worriedly: "Master, I have another worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in his prime. If he sees Ah Shu, he might also be attracted to her..."

A man in his thirties, in his prime, if he is also attracted by Ah Shu's beauty, what should he do?

Mr. Ling was stunned at first, and thought for a moment before saying: "Your Highness has been recuperating in the past few years, and has a pure heart and few desires. He rarely gets close to women. Besides, Ah Shu is young after all, and His Highness should not have such thoughts!"

"What's impossible about this?"

Sun curled her lips and mercilessly exposed Mr. Ling's past: "When the master was in his thirties, didn't he also take a teenage beauty as a concubine?"

Mr. Ling coughed awkwardly: "It's all in the past, why do you keep mentioning that."

For fear that Sun would not let go of the sore spot, he hurriedly changed the subject: "I think that His Highness has heard some rumors, so he pays special attention to Ah Shu."

This is also possible.

The Crown Prince once saved Ah Shu, and specially rewarded her with a name card, and paid attention to Ah Shu everywhere. I'm afraid that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have heard about it.

Sun thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Master, let's not consider the attitude of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess for now. I am a little worried about Ah Shu."

"A Yan is shallow-minded and can't hide her thoughts. Ah Shu is different. She looks gentle and taciturn, but she is actually soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and has a strong opinion. I can't figure out her thoughts. This morning I asked her to change into new clothes and re-dress, but she refused no matter what I said. It seems that she doesn't have any thoughts about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

How can a woman not love beauty? In front of her sweetheart, it is normal to wear bright and beautiful clothes. Ah Shu's behavior today is very abnormal.

There is only one explanation.

Ah Shu has no intention of the Crown Prince.

Master Ling smiled indifferently and said, "Don't think too much. With the identity of the Crown Prince and a handsome young man who is rare in a thousand miles, Ah Shu has no reason not to be interested. She refused to dress up carefully today because of her girl's modesty and shyness."

Is it really because of this?

Sun looked at Grandpa Ling half-doubtfully: "What if Ah Shu really has no interest in the Grand Prince?"

Grandpa Ling was choked for a moment, and soon he made a specious argument: "Lifelong affairs must be obeyed by the elders. It is not her turn as a girl to be picky."

Sun couldn't help but retort: ​​"Lifelong affairs must be obeyed by parents, and it is not your turn as an uncle to make the decision!"

Grandpa Ling: "..."

Grandpa Ling coughed, his voice lowered a little, and he didn't take it for granted: "Mother is still alive, and Ah Shu's marriage must be asked for her opinion. Otherwise, it is my fifth brother and his wife who are worried. It is indeed not my turn to make the decision. However, as an uncle, it is always right for me to care about my niece."

As he spoke, his tone became more confident: "If this can really be accomplished, Ah Shu will have a lifetime of wealth and glory. The Great Zhou Dynasty will belong to the Crown Prince sooner or later, and the Crown Prince will sit on the throne one day in the future. By that time, Ah Shu will be a concubine in the palace. If a son is born earlier, there may be greater opportunities and blessings."

"Back then, the daughter of the Xu family entered the palace to become a concubine, won the favor of the emperor, became a noble concubine, and then became the queen. The Xu family also rose rapidly, and now it is so glorious!"

"Maybe, our Ling family will have such a day in the future."

Grandpa Ling became more and more excited as he spoke, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

It was as if he had seen with his own eyes the day when Ling Jingshu ascended the throne of the queen and the Ling family became the first family of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Sun's blood boiled when she heard this, and she asked anxiously: "Master, what should we do next?"

Grandpa Ling thought for a moment and made up his mind: "I will write a letter tomorrow and have someone send it back to Dingzhou."

As the eldest uncle, he could not make the decision on Ling Jingshu's lifelong affairs. Let his mother and fifth brother make the decision!
