Probably Ling Jingshu's appearance was not bad, which temporarily made Queen Xu wary.

In the following days, Empress Xu did not summon Ling Jingshu alone, nor did she say anything more.

Ling Jingshu was still secretly on guard, but she didn't show it on her face. Every day, he does things on an errand step, and he walks and goes with Qiushuang and others when he has nothing to do - just like the other female officials in the Jiaofang Palace.

Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan had the opportunity to meet from time to time. When the two met, they only greeted each other indifferently, and did not show familiarity and closeness.

Empress Xu has many eyes and ears in the palace, and the two have to be cautious.

Ling Jingshu stayed in the palace, unable to contact her family, and did not know what happened to Ling Xiao and the others. However, other information is much better-informed.

For example, after King Yan and Princess Yan got married, they were not so hot and sticky.

Princess Yan came to the palace to say goodbye. There were no outsiders present at that time, and no one knew what Queen Xu said. I only know that when Princess Yan left the Jiaofang Palace, her eyes were slightly red.

For example, Princess Changping entered the palace with a bright face, but for some reason, she was angrily reprimanded by Queen Xu.

Princess Changping is not a soft character, and she was unhappy when she was reprimanded by Queen Xu, so she argued with Queen Xu. As a result, the mother and daughter broke up unhappily. Empress Xu's face was gloomy for several days, and the people in the Jiaofang Hall were worried about each other, lest they be angered by Empress Xu's anger.

For example, the emperor's dragon body, which had been recuperating for two months, finally recovered. In the palace, from Queen Xu to ordinary palace maids, everyone showed their faces.

The civil and military officials in the court were even more energetic, and the emperor could finally go to the court.

None of this news is nothing.

Recently, the most eye-catching and talked-about topic is, of course, the upcoming wedding of the imperial grandson.

When the palace maids met, they always had to talk a few words.

"I heard that the British Mansion prepared more dowries for the princess than the Pingguo Mansion gave to Princess Yan that day!"

"Of course. There is only one concubine in the British Mansion, and there are three concubines in the Pingguo Mansion. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan got married last year, and now it is His Royal Highness's turn again." The palace maid who said this was quite beautiful, and her words revealed envy and a little resentment: "I really don't know when we will have the opportunity to get married." ”

The rest of the palace maids immediately laughed: "It turned out that I hated to marry." It's hard to enter the palace and it's even more difficult to get out of the palace, if you want to get out of the palace and get married, you just wait slowly! ”

According to the rules of the palace, the palace maid will not be released from the palace until she is twenty-five years old. I don't know how many people have never gone out in their lives, and they are old and dead in the palace.

The sharp-eyed one glanced at the figure not far away, and hurriedly whispered, "Don't talk about it." Lady Ling is here! ”

The palace maids who originally got together to sigh and sigh quickly dispersed. There was an errand boy who couldn't run, so he picked up scissors and pretended to trim the bonsai.

"Give me the scissors." A soft and pleasant voice sounded in the ears of the palace maid: "When pruning bonsai, you have to concentrate and never be distracted." Otherwise, the flower will be cut off. ”

The palace maid handed the scissors to Ling Jingshu with a flushed face, hanging her head and waiting to be trained.

Ling Jingshu didn't say anything, and after carefully trimming the bonsai, she put down the scissors and left.

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Compared to Luo Yan, who often scolds people with a straight face, Ling Jingshu's temper is much milder.

……

Ling Jingshu's mood at this time was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

The emperor's grandson is about to get married.

That handsome, condensed and proud young man, who once saved her life at the most critical moment, once allowed Ling Xiao to borrow the prince's mansion to treat eye diseases, once stared at her with those cold but focused eyes, and once couldn't help but show his heart to her......

It was she who rejected him without hesitation!

Because she knows very well that she and he are not people in the same world. Her feelings, she can't afford it, and she doesn't want it!

He and Jiang Rongyue are about to get married, and he has the country and society in his heart, and he will never have a long love affair with children and a hero. Therefore, she doesn't need to feel any guilt, just bless him silently from afar!

"Miss," Bai Yu's voice interrupted her thoughts, "Why are you back?" ”

Before she knew it, she had returned to her lodgings.

Ling Jingshu came back to her senses and hummed casually.

How is the young lady so upset today? Bai Yu was secretly strange in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Is something wrong?" Isn't Miss supposed to be in the peony room at this time of day? ”

Ling Jingshu said calmly: "I heard a few palace maids muttering about the wedding of His Royal Highness the Grand Sun just now, and I was a little trance-like for a while, so I came back. ”

In front of Bai Yu, he didn't hide his true mood at all.

Bai Yu was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he whisper: "Miss, you didn't accept His Royal Highness Taisun's wish that day, do you regret it now?" ”

"Nope." Ling Jingshu's expression had regained her calmness: "I have never regretted the decision I made. It's just that when I heard the news, I felt a little embarrassed. ”

This is probably a common problem for women. Even if he has rejected a teenager, when he hears that the other party is going to get married, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

Bai Yu smiled and was about to say something to reassure him, when footsteps sounded outside the door again.

It's Qiaoyun!

Bai Yu immediately took back the words that came to his lips and pulled the topic away as if nothing had happened.

After all, Qiao Yun is a secret guard sent by the emperor's grandson, and there are some words that Qiao Yun should not hear.

……

Three days later.

The wedding of the emperor's grandson.

As usual, it was personally arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and the scenery of family affairs was lively, which was better than when King Yan was married.

The emperor and the queen each sent many congratulatory gifts, and the crown prince and the crown princess personally came forward to greet the guests. The procession to welcome relatives is huge, and the team carrying the dowry is even more powerful, and the people of the capital who are happy to join in the excitement have opened their eyes this time.

These bustles have nothing to do with Ling Jingshu who stays in the palace.

On this day, as usual, she first took a turn in the Jiaofang Hall to make sure that the palace maids were not lazy in their work, and then entered the peony room.

In the spring, the weather gradually warmed up, and the willows pulled out their long branches, and the grass was full of green. The peony room is also thriving.

In the pots on the bamboo shelves, some peonies have already hung small buds. It is full of vitality against the backdrop of green leaves, and it is full of spring.

Within a month, all peonies will sprout buds and gradually bloom. An intoxicating, rich aroma floats in the air.

Ling Jingshu carefully inspected the growth of each pot of peonies one by one, especially the more than 20 pots of new peonies, and the inspection was even more careful.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. (To be continued.) )
