Chapter 264: Marrying the Princess
"Yes, what a great honor!"
For a while, in the imperial city, the news spread all over the place.
"Hey, look, is this jade pendant good-looking, does it look good when I wear it, will Brother Qingping like it?"
Ling Shuang smiled, twisted the pendant and put it on her ear.
Next to him, a clever maid with a smile in her eyes, "Madam, the young master likes you so much, whatever you wear, he must like it, you just buy it!"
Hearing this, Ling Shuang glanced at her silently, "You can talk, you are smart!"
"Ouch, girl, this is really good, but the treasure of my shop, I definitely don't lose money when I buy it, and I can definitely marry better than others!"
The boss was also a discerning person, and he began to sell his own things in a few words, but every word was said to Ling Shuang's heart.
"Okay, then wrap it up for me." , Ling Shuang gave the silver happily.
"Hey, boss, I've heard what you're talking about marriage all the way, what's the matter, has there been a big family that is going to get married recently?"
Ling Shuang hung her purse on her body, her eyes were shining, and they were bent into crescent moons.
"Yo, madam, you haven't even heard of this, we are the champion of the dynasty, we were married by the emperor, the emperor, I really love him, and I gave him all my seven princesses! This is the best thing in this dynasty!"
The boss smiled honestly, and the joy on his face couldn't be covered at all.
"What did you say?"
Ling Shuang's body shook, and the jade pendant in his hand was not stable for a while, and fell directly to the ground, breaking into several pieces in an instant.
"Ouch, girl, why did you say you were so careless, this, this thing is broken!"
"What did you just say?!"
"Oh, you mean the champion, the newly selected champion, Jiang Qingping is going to marry the princess!"
"Madame, ma'am, what are you going to do? Young Master, Young Master, how can he do this?"
For a moment, Ling Shuang only felt that the sky was spinning, and his footsteps couldn't stand at all.
"Let's go, go back, go back to the house!"
Ling Shuang got on the sedan chair and hurried back non-stop.
At home, the walls and doors are already full of red, bright and dazzling, showing the upcoming happy event.
Ling Shuang only felt that the blood all over her body was flowing backwards, and she almost lost her mind and shook into the study.
"Why are you here?" In the middle, Jiang Qingping was sitting at the table irritably, and when he saw someone coming, he glanced at it coldly.
This cold look aggravated Ling Shuang's uneasiness, "Brother Qingping, what's going on with the rumors outside, are they all true? You, do you really want to marry that seventh princess?"
Having guessed that this was the case, Jiang Qingping pulled his collar irritably, "Yes, I really want to marry her, the emperor personally ordered it in front of the Manchu Dynasty, I really can't refuse, so I can only agree!" Oh, yes."
Jiang Qingping raised his eyebrows, "When I went to court today, I was so nervous that I forgot to recommend Brother Wang to the emperor for a while, next time, I will definitely have a chance next time."
"Who cares about him!" At the door, Ling Shuang suddenly roared, and a layer of tears had already appeared in her eyes.
"I'm asking you, do you really want to marry that Seventh Princess? So, what do I do? Brother Qingping, what should I do?"
A trace of injury crossed Jiang Qingping's eyes for a moment, and he randomly returned to his original coldness.
He really didn't have the slightest intention for the seventh princess he had never met, but when he was in the Taiji Palace, thinking of Ling Shuang's fake face facing him all day long, he was very depressed for a while, so he gritted his teeth and directly agreed to this family business.
However, seeing Ling Shuang's reaction, what he did was not in vain.
"Brother Qingping, you say, what about me, didn't you say that you would raise me to be your wife? Now, now that you've passed the exam, don't you want me?"
Ling Shuang never dreamed that she would be
thought that Jiang Qingping's admission to the champion would be the beginning of a happy life for the two, she thought that as long as he became an official in the court, she would be able to drag him here, and when the time came, she would be able to find an excuse to fool the past in Fengrun County, and the two would be able to cover all the past things and live happily for a lifetime.
Now, I still haven't returned to the county, so that's it?
The person in front of him was so sad that Jiang Qingping didn't dare to face it for a while, so he didn't look over it coldly.
"I, I didn't want you, after the princess entered the mansion, you are still a concubine, as long as you don't care about your status, An An will stay by my side, and no one will drive you away?"
Drive away? Being a concubine? In the end, the plot is abnormal, but it is still like this? Ling Shuang only felt like a joke, sad.
"But, Brother Qingping, have you forgotten? You promised me, are you going to break your promise now? I've done so much for you, can't you really see it? You really want me to be a concubine for the rest of my life!"
Ling Shuang's voice was already a little choked, and Jiang Qingping's body twitched a little, and suddenly the ground was cold again.
"I just accepted the emperor's order, at that time in the Taiji Palace, I couldn't be the court to resist the decree, Shuang'er, didn't you say you loved me? What you care about most is me, even if it's for me, as long as the two of us love each other, even if it's a concubine, what's the point!"
Every word was sonorous in her ears, and Ling Shuang only felt that her heart, liver and lungs were about to be punctured.
"I, I do love you, but I can't be an unsightly concubine for the rest of my life."
Locked up in the dark room for too long, she longed for the light too much to endure any longer.
"Brother Qingping, I know you love me too, but is there really no room for turning around this matter? Otherwise, if you take me to face the saint and make it clear to the emperor that you already have a wife, let him take back his life, can't you?"
Jiang Qingping retracted his arm suddenly, "Shuang'er, you also have to think about me, I just took office, fortunately, the emperor appreciates me, if I pull you forward, not to mention the emperor's impression, this is simply resisting the decree, and disrespecting the decree is a big crime to kill the head!"
Cold tears slipped down the corners of his eyes and into his neck, slightly cold, and stinging people hurt.
Ling Shuang looked at the person in front of him with empty eyes, and there was no hope in his eyes.
"Shuang'er, don't worry, don't worry, I promise, if that princess enters the door in the future, I will definitely not snub you, and I will never let her bully you, you just have to relax, or in your heart, you don't trust me at all!"
In a few words, the two talked about the dead zone again.
"Is it true that you can't quit this family business?"
Ling Shuang cried and spoke again.
