Chapter 68: Changeable
Yesterday, Ling Jingshu's soft pleas were ignored by the emperor's grandson.
Why did you come here one night and then change your mind and offer to help?
They say women are fickle. The thoughts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are like needles in the sea!
Wang Tong forgot yesterday's lesson and couldn't help but exchanged a sad look with Ling Ji again. Fortunately, the emperor's grandson did not look back and did not notice Wang Tong's subtle actions.
Uncle Ling was obviously shocked, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly opened his mouth to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much for your grace, Your Highness. I will go back to the ship and tell their siblings the good news and ask them to come tomorrow to thank Your Highness." ”
"There is no need to thank you." The emperor's grandson looked calmly: "For me, it is just a little effort. I am not the kind of person who repays kindness."
Naturally, Uncle Ling would not take such words seriously, and said with an attentive smile: "His Highness is kind-hearted and does not seek to repay kindness, which really makes me deeply moved and grateful. However, with just a little effort from His Highness, A Xiao can enter the hospital as soon as possible." I can’t repay this kindness at Huichun Hall, so I asked Ah Shu and Ah Xiao to kowtow to His Highness..."
"No need." The emperor's grandson said coldly: "I'm tired, please retreat!"
Uncle Ling: "..."
His Highness the Grandson's temper is really fickle.
What you said just now was fine, why did you suddenly fall out?
Uncle Ling did not dare to show his frustration, so he had to stand up and leave.
...
As usual, Wang Tong sent Uncle Ling and his son off again.
Ling Ji slowed down his pace intentionally or unintentionally,
Wang Tong understood this and deliberately walked slower.
"Commander Wang, I worked hard for you yesterday." Ling Ji's tone was full of apologies: "I'm sorry for you on Ah Shu's behalf."
Even though Wang Tong felt a little unhappy, it had almost faded away after a night. Hearing this, he responded in a low voice: "Miss Ling Jiu is not to blame for this."
Ling Ji glanced at Uncle Ling's figure not far in front, and whispered: "His Royal Highness was still angry yesterday, why is he suddenly willing to help today?"
Wang Tong gave a helpless smile: "His Highness's thoughts are as deep as the sea. How dare I speculate at will." After a pause, he continued: "To tell you the truth, I was shocked when I heard His Highness say that just now."
Emotional Wang Tong didn’t know anything about it beforehand!
This great grandson is really... unfathomable.
Ling Ji was thinking about it when he heard Wang Tong's voice ringing in his ears again: "There is something I want to tell Mr. Ling. His Highness Taisun has an uncompromising temper. Since he said he didn't need Miss Ling Jiu to come to express his gratitude, he didn't need to. If Ling Ji The doctor really brought people here, I'm afraid His Highness will be unhappy. "
Ling Ji hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Commander Wang, for reminding me. I already know what to do."
No matter what the emperor's grandson had in mind, in short, it was better not to let Ling Jingshu show up in the past few days.
Wang Tong had a good impression of Ling Ji, who was gentle and open-minded. He patted Ling Ji on the shoulder and said nothing more.
...
After Wang Tong left, Uncle Ling couldn't help but ask: "Aji, what were you and Commander Wang whispering about just now?"
Of course, Ling Ji refused to tell the truth and answered vaguely: "I didn't say anything. I just casually gossiped and got closer to him."
"You did the right thing." Uncle Ling had no doubt about him and praised Ling Ji with a smile: "Don't underestimate Wang Tong. He has been His Highness Taisun's personal bodyguard since he was eight years old. Because of his outstanding performance, Later, he became the commander of the bodyguards. In front of His Highness Taisun, his words were quite weighty. In the future, His Highness Taisun would become the crown prince and become the emperor. At that time, Wang Tongshao would not be able to be the commander of the imperial guards. Befriend him now and it will benefit you in the future.”
...Ling Ji has long been aware of his father's utilitarian and snobbish temperament. He didn't explain anything and nodded casually.
Uncle Ling didn't know what he thought of, and sighed again.
"Why does father sigh?" As a human son, there is no doubt that Ling Ji is filial and considerate.
Uncle Ling looked at his eldest son with joy, but his tone was full of regret: "Ah Shu has such a good appearance that even His Majesty the Grandson looks at her differently. There is no doubt that she will have a good marriage in the future. A Yan is also born like a flower. Xiyu, why didn’t you fall in His Highness’s eyes?”
Ling Ji: "..."
Uncle Ling didn't notice Ling Ji's strange expression and continued: "However, A'shu is the daughter of our Ling family and my niece. If she has a good future, I, as an uncle, will be happy in my heart. I'm happy for her. Maybe the future prosperity of our Ling family will fall on her..."
"Father, it's too early to say this now!"
Ling Ji tactfully interrupted Uncle Ling's thoughts: "Besides, A Shu's lifelong affairs should be decided by her grandmother and fifth uncle. Father doesn't have to worry anymore!"
Uncle Ling smiled disapprovingly and said: "I am her biological uncle. Of course I always think about her. How could I harm her?"
It was a pity that His Highness Taisun was very indifferent to Ling Jingyan and did not show the slightest interest. On the contrary, he paid close attention to Ling Jingshu.
Otherwise, how could he have his thoughts on Ling Jingshu.
Ling Ji had no choice but to change the topic: "By the way, you should tell Ah Shu and Ah Xiao first about what His Highness promised just now!"
Uncle Ling waved his hand in a good mood: "Just go and tell them this little thing. Also, tell them both to come with me tomorrow to express my gratitude to His Highness the Grand Sun."
"Absolutely not!"
When Ling Ji heard this, he immediately frowned and objected: "Father, don't forget that when we mentioned thanking the emperor just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked unhappy. It's not worth it to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry for such a small matter."
That's true.
Uncle Ling thought about it and laughed: "You are right. There will be many opportunities to thank the emperor in the future. There is no need to rush in these few days."
Finally, Uncle Ling was dealt with, and Ling Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Ling Ji went to Ling Jingshu's cabin and told Ling Jingshu the good news: "...A Shu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that after arriving in the capital, we should go to the Prince's Mansion to get the visiting card. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's name card, we don't have to wait in line to go to Huichun Hall."
Ling Jingshu: "..."
This Crown Prince is really fickle and unpredictable!
Yesterday, she took the initiative to plead, but he ignored her. After getting angry, he took the initiative to speak...
However, no matter what, this is indeed good news.
"Thank you, cousin." Ling Jingshu quickly came back to her senses and thanked him with a smile: "Should I take Axiao to thank His Highness?"
Ling Ji coughed and said: "Also, His Highness specifically ordered that you and Axiao don't have to go to thank him."
Ling Jingshu: "......"
