Chapter 263: Difficulty
Entering the palace this time is completely different from the mood of the previous times.
The high city walls, the long passages, and the dull atmosphere give people the illusion of almost suffocation. It is as if you are on a road with no end in sight, chaotic and confused.
From this day on, she is no longer a passerby.
She's going to survive here!
Ling Jingshu, come on!
Ling Jingshu glanced up occasionally, silently cheering for herself in her heart.
Ruilian suddenly stopped and quickly reminded in a low voice: "Ashu, it's His Royal Highness King Yan and Princess Yan." Come with me and say hello. β
Ling Jingshu came back to her senses and responded without thinking.
In the palace, except for the emperor and queen, everyone else can only walk. Although the status of Yan Wang and his wife is noble, they are no exception.
The newlywed moon is the time of love. The young and beautiful Princess Yan snuggled up to the handsome and dignified Yan Wang, like a pair of blue people, which was really pleasing to the eye when looked at from a distance.
Ruilian and his party quickly attracted the attention of King Yan. When his gaze fell on the girl beside Ruilian, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
It's Ling Jingshu!
The queen mother summoned her to the palace! It would be much easier to see her in the future......
Princess Yan didn't miss the surprise in King Yan's eyes, and a burst of sourness suddenly surged in her heart, and she said coquettishly: "Your Highness! Who are you looking at? β
King Yan retracted his gaze, a charming smile appeared in his narrow peach blossom eyes, and whispered affectionately: "Who can compare to the beauty and touching of this king's princess." β
Princess Yan knew that King Yan was coaxing herself, but she was still happy, Xia Fei lowered her head shyly with her cheeks. Because of this, he missed the mockery and sneer that flashed in King Yan's eyes.
If it weren't for the Pingguo Mansion, he wouldn't have been too lazy to coax such a shallow-minded woman.
β¦β¦
"Slave Ruilian, I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan, and I have seen Princess Yan." Ruilian saluted familiarly.
King Yan is the son of Empress Xu's in-laws, and Empress Xu loves and values Cheng DΓΉ of King Yan. Yan Wang Ping goes in and out of the Jiaofang Palace every day, and Ruilian, as Queen Xu's personal female official, is familiar with King Yan.
Ling Jingshu followed behind Ruilian and saluted: "Slave Ling Jingshu, please say hello to His Royal Highness King Yan, and greet Princess Yan." β
When she became a female official in the palace, she immediately became a "slave". It is also thanks to her that her mentality adjusted quickly, and her demeanor was quite natural when she spoke, and there was no mistake.
King Yan's gaze swept over Ling Jingshu's pretty face: "Okay, let's all be even!" β
Princess Yan also looked at it, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the queen mother is not joking, but she really let Miss Ling enter the palace." Miss Ling is also a delicate daughter in the boudoir, and she has to do the work of serving people when she enters the palace, can she do it? β
The vague hostility and unkindness in his tone were heard by everyone.
Ruilian glanced at Ling Jingshu meaningfully, but did not say anything to help.
King Yan didn't say anything, he looked like he was standing by and watching, watching with great interest how Ling Jingshu dealt with Princess Yan's difficulties.
"It is a blessing for slaves to have the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the queen. I don't know how many people have the good luck of the slave and the maid. β
Ling Jingshu didn't pay attention to Cheng DΓΉ's provocation at all, and responded lightly: "It's really not easy to do things on errands, and slaves and maids are also worried that they can't do it well." I've been asking Sister Ruilian for advice along the way! β
This response is neither humble nor arrogant, and it does not leak.
King Yan couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Ling Jingshu. At that time, Ling Jingshu also responded so calmly and sharply, leaving an indelible impression on him!
The smile on King Yan's face deepened again.
Princess Yan looked at the smile on King Yan's face, the jealousy in her heart swished up, and her words became a little meaner: "Miss Ling adapts to her new identity very quickly, and she speaks very smoothly as a slave and maid." β
Such a tone and such words are really a bit sour.
King Yan frowned slightly, and the smile on his face faded. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, Ling Jingshu had already smiled and replied: "At this time and that time, I was the daughter of the Ling family when I was in the boudoir, and when I went out, I represented the face of the Ling family, so I had to be reserved and calm. β
"Now that she is in the palace on an errand, the slave and maid speak and act on behalf of the dignity of the queen, and they are even more negligent. There is nothing inferior about calling yourself a slave or a maid, so why not be suitable? β
"In any case, the slave and maid have to thank Princess Yan for her concern. However, these words are okay to the slave maid, and it is better not to mention them in front of the queen. Otherwise, I am afraid that the queen will misunderstand Princess Yan. β
Princess Yan: "......"
What a mouth!
Princess Yan was born in a noble family, and her identity as the second lady of the Pingguo Mansion was enough to make her be treated well everywhere. After marrying Queen Yan, everywhere she went, she was sought after by everyone, and she couldn't help but think very highly of herself.
I thought that a few difficult words would make Ling Jingshu ugly and embarrassed, but I never thought that the person who was speechless was actually myself!
Princess Yan was annoyed and ashamed, and her pretty face quietly turned red.
Ruilian's wonderful eyes fell on Ling Jingshu's face, and she was secretly amazed in her heart. This Ling Jingshu, looking at Wen Jing and delicate, didn't expect her tongue to be so sharp. Princess Shangyan is not afraid at all......
"It's not too early, we should also go to Zichen Palace."
King Yan finally broke the silence, and it can be regarded as relieving Princess Yan: "Ruilian, don't delay you and Ling Jingshu, hurry up and go to the Jiaofang Palace to report to the queen mother!" β
Ruilian settled down, saluted with Ling Jingshu and said goodbye.
β¦β¦
Princess Yan watched Ling Jingshu's slender figure go away, bit her lip vigorously, and said to King Yan without grievances: "Your Highness! Look at this Ling Jingshu, she is just a female official next to the queen mother, she is so arrogant and presumptuous, and she doesn't take me, Princess Yan, in her eyes at all. β
Yan Wangpi laughed without smiling.
β¦β¦ How is this reaction?
Princess Yan was a little stunned, and felt unwilling: "I was bullied just now, doesn't Your Highness want to be angry for me?" β
"Bullying?"
King Yan raised his eyebrows, and there was no smile in his eyes: "Did she bully you just now, or did you want to bully people but humiliate yourself?" β
Princess Yan's pink face suddenly turned red, and her eyes flashed with water: "Your Highness, how can you say that about me......"
"What are you thinking, I don't need to say more!" King Yan said lightly: "With this thought, it is better to think about how to serve the queen mother." As for the people around the queen mother, they have their own queen mother's training, and you don't need to interfere. β
After saying that, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Princess Yan's heart was cold. Since she was newly married for more than a month, King Yan has been gentle and considerate and treats her very well. This is the first time he has ridiculed and snubbed her like this!
Princess Yan gritted her teeth, forced the tears in her eyes back, and chased after her quickly. (To be continued.) )
