The one who came to deliver the invitation was the high-spirited waiter from last time.

Sun stuffed a "rich" purse as usual, and the chamberlain had a smiling face, and his tone was more polite: "The craftsmen spent half a year to build a new ship for Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the princess likes to be lively, and plans to invite some distinguished guests to the princess's mansion to take a boat trip to the lake together. ”

"The time is the day after tomorrow, please ask Young Grandma Ling and the two Miss Ling to come to the house early, don't be late."

Although the three of them were invited to the door as guests, the eyes of the chamberlain were looking at Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu had no choice but to smile and respond: "Please return to Her Royal Highness the Princess, we must arrive early." ”

The chamberlain sent the invitation and quickly took his leave.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while.

"Ashu, Her Royal Highness the princess has sent an invitation, and it is inconvenient for us to refuse." Jiang Shi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "However, I always have an extra layer of worries in my heart now. Princess Changping and King Yan are siblings, what if King Yan also goes to the princess's mansion when the time comes? ”

Ling Jingshu was not without worries in her heart, and sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I'm also worried about this!" ”

Ling Ji had already learned from the Jiang family's mouth that King Yan was entangled with Ling Jingshu, and when he heard this, he snorted coldly with a calm face: "It's really unreasonable! Although my fair lady and gentleman are good, they are not so aggressive. ”

Emotional matters are about your love and my willingness, so what's going on?

The more Ling Ji thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and said angrily: "Ashu, you try not to leave the house in the future." Let me accompany Ah Xiao to the Prince's Mansion. No matter how domineering King Yan is, he can't come to our Ling family's back house! ”

As soon as this statement came out. The expressions of the crowd are different.

Jiang wanted to speak out against it, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth.

Sun didn't have so many worries, frowned and said, "It's not proper!" Ah Xiao has to go to the Prince's Mansion every five days. You have to study in the national prison, and it doesn't hurt to take a leave of absence once in a while, but you can't take a leave every few days. ”

Ling Jingshu also quickly took over the conversation: "What the eldest aunt said is true." My cousin should focus on his studies and don't worry about me. Besides, I can't forget to eat because of choking, and I don't even dare to go out of the door of the Ling family in order to hide from King Yan! ”

That's just as well.

Sometimes, leaving the house is unavoidable. For example, Princess Changping sent an invitation. Ling Jingshu is always hard to shirk.

Ling Ji frowned, didn't say anything more, only admonished: "Anyway." Ashu, you have to be more careful. People are terrible, you haven't decided on a marriage yet, and clearing your name is the most important thing. ”

He said to Jiang again: "Yu Niang, how many years older are you?" When we go out of the house together in the future. Take care of Auntie more. Don't let King Yan have a chance to get close to Ah Shu alone. ”

Jiang nodded and solemnly agreed.

Ling Ji's concern and care made people's hearts swell with warmth.

Ling Jingshu smiled at Ling Ji: "Thank you, cousin, for thinking about me everywhere." ”

"My brother and sister, what are you doing with these polite words?" Ling Ji replied disappreciatively: "I just hate that I don't have time to accompany you and Ah Xiao out of the house." Otherwise, with me, I can't let King Yan get close to you. ”

In fact, even if Ling Ji is there, he can't stop King Yan.

This. Ling Jingshu knew it. However, Ling Ji had some good intentions. She would never tell such a big truth, so as not to hurt Ling Ji's face.

……

Two days later.

Before going out, Sun deliberately gave a verbal advice. To sum it up, these are two sentences: King Yan is not easy to provoke, and when he encounters it, he hides farther away. Princess Changping is also not easy to provoke, so try to show favor whenever she is welcomed.

"Mother is good at everything, but it's too long-winded. A few simple words, repeated over and over for so long, are simply a delay in time. ”

Sitting in the carriage, Ling Jingyan complained with some dissatisfaction.

It doesn't hurt for Ling Jingyan to complain a few words, but Jiang's daughter-in-law and Ling Jingshu's niece can't say it. The two glanced at each other, exchanged a knowing look, and pursed their lips and laughed together.

Sun did babble a bit. This is probably a common problem among older women.

After arriving at the mansion of Princess Changping, the three of them got out of the carriage and waited in the gatehouse.

Before the concierge passed around, he waited for Su Ying, who was also a guest.

Everyone smiled and exchanged a few words.

Su Ying, who was beautiful and elegant in a light blue dress, smiled at the corner of her lips and looked bright: "I thought I came the earliest, but I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." ”

Ling Jingshu replied with a smile: "When Her Royal Highness the princess asked people to send invitations, she specially told her to come over earlier. We didn't dare to slack off, so we came early. ”

Su Ying glanced at Ling Jingshu slightly, pursed her lips and smiled: "I've seen you three times, and every time you dress simply, I've never seen you dressed up!" ”

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is the age when she loves beauty the most. Especially when you go to a banquet together, you will inevitably have to compare it secretly. Su Ying is not exempt from vulgarity. Every time you go out as a guest, you have to dress up carefully for a long time.

Ling Jingshu has always shown off without makeup, and she doesn't care about dressing. No wonder Su Ying was secretly surprised in her heart.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly, and said perfunctorily: "I first came to the capital, and I am not familiar with the popular dress styles and hair jewelry. Simply dress casually and simply, so as not to be ugly. ”

Su Yingwan smiled: "You are a naturally beautiful beauty, you look good no matter how you wear it, how can you be ugly." ”

"When others say this, I accept it with shame." Ling Jingshu replied with a smile: "Miss Su praised me like this, I'm really ashamed. If you talk about natural beauty, who can compare to Miss Su? ”

Good and obedient, everyone loves to listen.

Su Ying pursed her lips and laughed: "That's it, let's not praise each other." Also, I am a year older than you, you can just call me Sister Su. The title of Miss Su is too raw. ”

Ling Jingshu was not hesitant, and quickly changed her words and called Sister Su.

The porter led everyone into the house and went straight to the lake.

At this time, the midsummer will pass, and the pond is full of lotus flowers, and the bloom is particularly enchanting. The gentle breeze blows, full of the refreshing fragrance of lotus flowers.

The brand new boat is parked right on the edge of the lake. It is spacious and luxurious, with tables and chairs, and a variety of fresh fruit snacks on the table.

After Ling Jingshu and the others got on the painting boat, they waited for a while, and the famous ladies who received the invitations came one by one. Most of them are familiar faces, and they have seen them at the lotus banquet and Su Ying's ceremony.

Princess Changping was dressed up as usual, and came with the support of two handsome chamberlains.

Lord Fumin didn't come today. Without this eye-bother, Ling Jingshu felt a lot more relaxed.

After Princess Changping sat down, she smiled and said, "There is another distinguished guest who has not arrived today, please wait for a while." (To be continued.) )
