Chapter 151 Anya

The current emperor has four sons and two daughters.

The princes are the crown prince, Prince An, Prince Kang, and Prince Yan, and the two princesses are Princess Changping and Princess Anya.

Princess Changping is the legitimate daughter of Empress Xu and the emperor's eldest daughter. She has been spoiled since childhood and has developed a domineering and reckless character.

In comparison, Princess Anya is much duller.

Princess Anya is the daughter of Concubine Wei, whose origin is much lower than that of Princess Changping. Moreover, Princess Anya was born prematurely, and Concubine Wei almost died of dystocia. Later, she was nursed for a long time before slowly recovering. Concubine Wei's body was also completely damaged, and she had no more children.

The emperor also pity and love this young girl, but there is still some obvious gap compared to Princess Changping. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about building a princess's mansion. Princess Changping's mansion was selected long ago and built when Princess Changping was ten years old. It is extremely luxurious.

And Princess Anya, who is twelve years old this year, has been living in the palace. The mansion is still being selected and built. It seems that we have to wait until Princess Anya recruits a consort before we can move in.

Princess Changping brought Princess Anya to the Su Mansion together. The two sisters held hands and were quite intimate.

Although Princess Anya was young, she had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but her body seemed to be thinner than girls of the same age. She only reached Princess Changping's shoulders and looked younger than her actual age.

Ling Jingshu's eyes swept across Princess Anya's fair and small face, and she couldn't help but think of the handsome face of Doctor Wei.

Princess Anya's eyes were clear and black and white, and they were quite similar to Doctor Wei.

I don't know what kind of beauty the famous Concubine Wei was to give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Princess Anya...

Princess Anya was quite quiet and well-behaved. After entering the house, she sat next to Princess Changping and didn't speak the whole time.

Compared to the radiant and cheerful Princess Changping, Princess Anya was like a quiet bright moon.

Ling Jingyan looked at her for a few times, and then whispered in her ear: "Ashu, this Princess Anya and Doctor Wei are somewhat similar!"

Ling Jingshu nodded and laughed softly: "It is said that nephews look like their uncles. Princess Anya is the niece of Doctor Wei, so it is not surprising that they look similar."

"However, this Princess Anya is really quiet and taciturn." Ling Jingyan continued to mutter: "Since she entered the house, she has not spoken a word!"

Ling Jingshu hummed.

The two were whispering, and saw a housekeeper came in with a smile, and said loudly: "Report to the second young lady, the auspicious time is coming soon. The Crown Princess has also arrived, and the master and the mistress have asked the young lady to change into new clothes and go to the inner hall immediately."

...

Ling Jingshu went to the inner hall of the Su Mansion with everyone.

The elders and relatives of the Su family were all there, and the Crown Princess sat elegantly at the top. Beside the Crown Princess stood a slender and handsome young man.

The Crown Prince is here too!

Ling Jingshu glanced at the Crown Prince subconsciously, and the Crown Prince also looked over at this moment.

The two of them slightly touched each other's eyes in the air. Soon they moved away.

When everyone entered the inner hall, the first thing they did was to pay their respects to the Crown Princess. Even Princess Changping and Princess Anya were no exception: "Meet the Crown Princess."

Ling Jingshu finally heard Princess Anya's voice. It was still a little childish, but clean and pleasant.

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I didn't expect Changping and Anya to come today. Come and sit down next to the Crown Princess."

There were about a dozen seats in the spacious inner hall. There were dozens of guests, but few were qualified to sit.

Changping readily agreed, and he and Princess Anya sat next to the Crown Princess.

The rest of the people came forward one by one to pay their respects.

The Crown Princess was graceful, kind and friendly, and made people feel like spring breeze.

When it was Ling Jingshu's turn to pay respects, the Crown Princess' eyes flashed, the smile on her lips faded a little, and her tone was a little lukewarm: "Today is a good day for Ying'er to come of age, and I didn't expect Miss Ling Jiu to come to congratulate her in person."

She spoke to Ling Jingshu on purpose, but her tone was not very warm.

For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted and fell on Miss Ling Jiu.

I had never paid attention to her before, but now that I took a closer look, everyone couldn't help but secretly amazed.

This Miss Ling Jiu was born with an unparalleled beauty. She was also calm and steady, far better than girls of the same age.

She raised her lips and smiled and replied: "To reply to the Crown Princess, I had the honor of meeting Miss Su Er at a banquet at Princess Changping's house a few days ago. Miss Su Er invited me to attend her coming of age ceremony at that time, and sent a formal invitation two days ago. So today I came to congratulate her."

The words were soft and pleasant, not hurried or slow.

The Crown Princess's smile paused slightly, and a trace of anger surged in her heart.

This Ling Jingshu, who looked gentle and respectful, was actually not the case at all.

What she said just now was clearly telling herself that it was Su Ying who personally invited her to be a guest, and she did not come to curry favor with the Su family!

"Ying'er is usually arrogant, but I didn't expect that she would get along well with you." The Crown Princess said with a fake smile: "We just met once, and she invited you to attend her coming-of-age ceremony."

I don't know what means this girl used to confuse A Yao, and even Su Ying was hooked up by her.

Sure enough, she had ulterior motives, and it seemed that she was determined to climb up to the Crown Prince's Mansion!

The slight contempt in the Crown Princess's eyes naturally did not escape Ling Jingshu's eyes.

Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart.

The Crown Princess had always been prejudiced against her and deliberately embarrassed her in front of everyone. Fortunately, she had never thought of getting close to the rich and powerful, otherwise, with such a shrewd and mean mother-in-law, she would have been waiting for a lifetime of frustration and cowardice!

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing as chemistry between people." Ling Jingshu looked normal and said with a smile: "Miss Su and I are particularly congenial, and we hit it off at first sight."

The Crown Princess wanted to say something else, but the Crown Prince behind her suddenly coughed softly: "Mother, cousin Su will be here soon!"

She started protecting her so early!

The Crown Princess resisted the urge to curl her lips and smiled and replied: "Well, the auspicious time is coming soon. Ying'er should be here too."

With this interruption, the previous conversation could not continue.

Ling Jingshu took the opportunity to retreat to the side.

Jiang and Ling Jingyan had not said anything, but they were secretly worried about Ling Jingshu.

The Crown Princess' attitude towards Ling Jingshu could not be called kind. The words just now were even more pointed. The more I think about it, the worse it tastes.

Mr. Ling and his wife have been planning to marry Ling Jingshu into the Prince's Mansion. But they don't know that Ling Jingshu doesn't have this intention at all, and they don't know that the Crown Princess has such a prejudice against Ling Jingshu!
