Chapter 87 Dissension
This Tingzhuxuan has a great view. Sitting by the window, you can have a panoramic view of the scene in front of Dingxiang Tower and on the street.
The King of Yan's eyes were not sure where to fall, and a glimmer of interest flashed in his eyes.
Only the guards standing beside the King of Yan saw what the King of Yan was looking at.
A coachman turned the carriage around, and a group of women wearing veils and whose faces could not be seen were getting on the carriage. The King of Yan's eyes clearly fell on the girl in the sky-blue dress.
Even though she could not see her face, she could guess that she was a rare beauty by looking at her graceful and moving back.
It seemed that this was the Miss Ling Jiu that Eunuch Xi mentioned.
Miss Ling Jiu was quite perceptive. She seemed to notice someone staring at her figure and quickly turned her head to look over. Through a layer of veil, her eyes met the King of Yan's from a distance.
His Royal Highness the King of Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Miss Ling Jiu had no reaction and quickly turned around and got on the carriage.
Then, the carriage of the Ling family did not stop for a moment and soon set off.
Miss Ling Jiu, who is stubborn and smart...
The King of Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange smile passed through the corners of his lips.
Eunuch Xi noticed that the King of Yan was distracted, but he was not panicked, but secretly happy. It seems that the King of Yan only intends to punish him a little, and has not made up his mind to kill him.
"I am loyal to my master, please spare my life, let me serve well in the future and repay my master's kindness!"
Eunuch Xi cried out his loyalty, which was quite emotional.
The King of Yan pulled the corner of his lips: "It's a pity for your talent to be a eunuch. If you go to the opera house to be an actor, you will have become a famous actor."
There was a playful tone in his tone.
In other words, the deception just now is over.
Eunuch Xi was overjoyed and forced out a flattering smile: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. However, I will serve Your Highness for the rest of my life, so I can't go to the opera house."
Prince Yan frowned in disdain: "Go wash the blood and tears off your face before coming back. It's really disgusting to see you."
Eunuch Xi responded in a row and hurriedly stood up and left.
After Eunuch Xi left, Prince Yan ordered the guards around him: "Li Jun, order someone to check on Ling Zhiyuan, the doctor of the Ministry of Works. Find out all the people in his house."
Especially this Miss Ling Jiu.
The last sentence didn't need to be said out loud, Li Jun naturally understood it and immediately accepted the order: "I obey your order."
......
Ling Jingshu sat in the carriage, looking calm, but secretly recalled the glimpse before getting on the carriage.
It was a quick glance, and against the light, so she didn't see it clearly.
However, she knew clearly that the person sitting by the window looking at her was Prince Yan.
In her previous life, she was under house arrest in the Lu family, and had a vague impression of what was happening outside. She only knew that the person who eventually sat on the throne was the King of Yan. She knew nothing about the King of Yan's temperament.
This meeting lasted only a short moment, and they said a few words. Based on these, she could only get the most superficial impression. The King of Yan's behavior was quite willful and unruly. It was completely different from the Crown Prince, who always had a cold face and could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
The true face and temperament of the King of Yan were unknown.
In silence all the way, when they returned to the Ling family, it was already Shen Shizheng.
Everyone went to see Sun first.
Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Sun was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you guys? You went out to play for most of the day, why are you not happy, but you all come back with droopy faces. Did something happen?"
"Nothing." Everyone answered in unison.
The answers were too uniform.
It was as if they had discussed it beforehand...
Sun was confused, and without even looking at Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu, she only asked Jiang: "Yu Niang, is there really nothing going on today?"
Jiang remained calm when pressed by her mother-in-law, and replied with a smile: "We went to Huichun Hall first, and the name card has been given to the steward, and Xiao's cousin's name has also been written down. On the morning of the 15th, we can see Doctor Wei if we go there early. Later, we went to Dingxianglou for lunch."
"Dingxianglou is famous and has a booming business. Today, there is only one private room left. After we entered the private room, the guest who had originally reserved the private room came again. So we had a few quarrels and got upset. Fortunately, an empty private room was vacated later, and we came back after dinner."
"It's just a small matter, but I was a little depressed, so I wasn't in a good mood. It made my mother-in-law worried."
She didn't tell a single lie, but she cleverly avoided all the key points. If the matter was exposed in the future, Jiang wouldn't be accused of deceiving her elders.
She was really thoughtful and careful in her words and deeds.
Ling Jingshu could not help but secretly admire Jiang.
Sun's suspicions were gone, and she smiled and comforted him, "It's nothing, it's just a little thing, don't take it to heart. You've been running around for a long time and you're tired, go back and rest first. I'll have someone call you at dinner time."
......
Since leaving Dingxianglou, Ling Jingyan has been depressed and hasn't spoken again, nor has she looked at Ling Jingshu again.
Living together in Luoxiayuan, it's inevitable that they will go together all the way.
Ling Jingyan kept her head down and didn't say a word to Ling Jingshu all the way.
Ling Jingshu didn't go forward to make herself look bad, and she took Ling Xiao's hand and walked forward slowly. Thinking to herself, when Ling Jingyan is no longer angry, she will talk to her and coax her...
Just as she was thinking about it, Ling Jingyan, who had already entered Luoxia Courtyard, suddenly turned around with a sullen face: "Cousin Shu, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Ah Shu, who was originally close to her, has become Shu's cousin again.
His tone was also tense, completely losing his usual liveliness.
Ling Jingshu sighed secretly in her heart, but kept a smile on her face: "Okay, I'll send Ah Xiao back to her room first and then come find you."
After sending Ling Xiao back to the dormitory, Ling Xiao grabbed Ling Jingshu's sleeves to prevent her from leaving: "A'shu, from cousin Yan's tone, it seems that she is having an awkward moment. Don't go, so as not to have a quarrel with her. "
"Now that we are staying at uncle's house again, you and cousin Yan have a conflict. No matter who is right or wrong, aunt and uncle will definitely protect cousin Yan. You will always be the one who suffers."
Looking at Ling Xiao's serious and worried face, Ling Jingshu felt warm in her heart: "Axiao, you are worried for a reason. However, since you know cousin Yan's temperament, you should know that I have to explain the misunderstanding. Otherwise, you should know that I have to explain the misunderstanding. , the knot in their hearts will only get worse in the future. Besides, we don’t know how long we’ll be staying in the capital, so we can’t hide from her forever!”
Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, then reluctantly let go: "I can always fail you."
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
