Chapter 70: Meanness
Uncle Ling and Ling Ji stepped forward to salute first.
Then, Ling Jingshu pulled Ling Xiao forward and knelt down together to thank him: "Yesterday, my uncle came back with good news, and His Royal Highness the grandson is willing to reward our sister and brother." Your Royal Highness is very gracious, our sister and brother are unforgettable. In the future, if there is a place to be sent, it is necessary to go to the soup and go to the fire. ”
As he spoke, he kowtowed respectfully three times.
Ling Xiao also kowtowed together. Ling Jingshu had said everything that should be said, and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness Taisun." ”
Looking at Ling Jingshu, who had a respectful and impeccable face, the imperial grandson should have been happy in his heart. He deliberately showed kindness, didn't he just want to see Ling Jingshu bow her head?
At this moment, he suddenly found that he was not as happy as he imagined.
What he wanted to see was the girl who was still calm after being held hostage by the bandits that night, the Miss Ling Jiu who dared to kill the bandits with a dagger, and the Ling Jingshu who was not afraid of his identity and dared to ridicule him.
Instead of this Ling Jingshu, who wears a mask and hides all her true feelings.
The imperial grandson pursed his thin lips and said lightly: "Excuse me." The king's gesture does not mean to repay the favor. ”
After a pause, he added slowly: "Besides, this king really can't think of anything that needs to be reciprocated by your brothers and sisters in the future." ”
Ling Xiao was thin-skinned, and when he heard such mean words, his face quickly turned red.
Oh, yes!
The other party is the high-ranking imperial grandson, except for a few people in the emperor and the crown prince, there is no one in the world who is more noble than him. If you want the wind to be windy and rainy, you just want the stars in the sky, and naturally someone climbs the ladder to pick them up.
He and Ah Shu are just ordinary sisters and brothers, how can they be qualified to talk about anything in return to the imperial grandson.
Uncle Ling's smile was also a little stiff.
It seems that he was thinking wrong before. The imperial grandson didn't have any special intentions for Ling Jingshu at all. Otherwise. Definitely won't be so mean
Ling Jingshu was the calmest and calmest one, pulled Ling Xiao to get up, and then smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness Taisun has a noble status, and I don't know how many people support and attach to His Highness. If there is something, let it go down, and someone will rush to get it done. I don't need two of us. I just said this to show our hearts. Let His Highness know. Our siblings are by no means such ungrateful and ungrateful people. ”
"Say something bold, and please don't be annoyed if Your Highness listens."
At this point, there was a pause.
The imperial grandson raised an eyebrow. He sneered and tugged at the corners of his lips: "What do you want to say, just say it." Even if there is any great rebellion, this king does not care. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your magnanimity. And the little woman was bold in her words. ”
Ling Jingshu's voice was soft and pleasant, not hurried. echoed in everyone's ears: "As the saying goes, people are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days." It's cold in the heights. The world is unpredictable. No one knows what the future holds. His Highness is kind to us today, and perhaps he will be of use to our brothers and sisters in the future. ”
When he heard that "no one has a thousand days and no flowers are red for a hundred days", Uncle Ling's face began to turn white.
When the words "the height is unbearable" came into his ears, Uncle Ling was even more pale.
This girl. It's so presumptuous!
Is this kind of thing something that can be said casually?
As soon as Ling Jingshu's words fell, Uncle Ling gritted his teeth and knelt down to plead guilty: "Please let His Royal Highness Taisun calm his anger." Ah Shu is young and ignorant, and her words are presumptuous. Please also ask Your Highness to be magnanimous and spare her this time"
Ling Ji also knelt down: "Please be gracious to His Royal Highness Taisun." ”
Wang Tong has a lesson from the past. didn't dare to say more, but secretly pinched a cold sweat in his heart for this bold Miss Ling Jiu.
However, no one expected that the imperial grandson not only did not get angry, but laughed.
This smile is like the melting of ice and snow, and the young face is incredibly handsome.
"Ling Jingshu," the imperial grandson called him by his name for the first time, and his tone was brisk: "You are very bold. This king has never seen a woman so bold and sharp-tongued as you. ”
After a pause, he said, "It's time for the ship to set off, so all of you should retreat!" ”
Uncle Ling's mind was blank, his legs were limp, and he almost floated all the way back to the boat.
It wasn't until he sat in the familiar cabin, holding the delicate official kiln porcelain bowl in his hand, and drank a sip of hot tea that he came back to his senses.
Ling Jingshu's calm pretty face also caught her eye.
A scene from before came back to mind.
Uncle Ling still felt frightened.
"Ashu!" Uncle Ling glared at Ling Jingshu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you eat the gall of the ambitious leopard?" How dare you talk to His Royal Highness the Taisun like that? ”
"Do you know that if you anger His Royal Highness Taisun, as long as he moves his mouth, you two brothers and sisters will not be able to eat and walk around! Not only your brothers and sisters, but our Ling family will also suffer! ”
When he said the last sentence, his face was pale, and he almost roared.
Ling Ji was secretly frightened, and hurriedly opened his mouth to appease the angry Uncle Ling: "Please father dissipate his anger first." Ah Shu was still young, and she couldn't hold back her temperament for a while, and she did speak a little rushed, but His Royal Highness Taisun didn't turn his face, and he smiled just now. I don't mind if I think about it."
"You know!"
Anxious to get angry, Uncle Ling said a rare rude word: "His Royal Highness Taisun doesn't mind, it's obvious that he can't bear it." Maybe one day when you remember it, you're going to have a seizure! ”
As he spoke, he glared at Ling Jingshu angrily: "You came to the capital with us to accompany Ah Xiao to treat his eye disease." It's not just for the sake of causing trouble! There will be another time, immediately pack my things for me and go back to Dingzhou! ”
Ling Xiao listened to Uncle Ling's roar, his white face flushed with anger, and he stepped forward and said, "Uncle wants to be angry and scold, so come at me!" Don't blame Auntie! If the uncle is afraid that our sister and brother will be a burden to you, we will leave when we get off the boat, so we don't have to trouble you. ”
Uncle Ling: ""
Those who should be provoked and those who should not be provoked have been provoked, even if they don't live in the Ling family, isn't this account going to be recorded on the Ling family's head?
What's more, his nephews and nieces followed him to the capital, but if they didn't live in the Ling family and didn't know the inside story, they might think that he had taken away the two siblings!
What face will he have to meet people in the future?!
Uncle Ling's face changed again and again, he wanted to scold, but he forcibly held back and forced himself to slow down his tone: "I'm not trying to drive you away. I just want to tell you that the capital is not as good as Dingzhou. In Dingzhou, our Ling family is a famous family. Even if your sister and brother get into trouble, others should be a little tolerant for the sake of the Ling family. When I arrived in the capital, the royal family, the prince's mansion, and the six officials abounded. If you cause trouble, I, as an uncle, don't have the confidence to defend you. ”
Not to mention, the other party is the high-ranking imperial grandson. (To be continued.) )
