Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then sighed: “Since you have thought so clearly and made up your mind, then stay away from the Imperial Grandson from now on! This will also prevent any trouble in the future and the princess will vent her anger on you again…”

It was rare for Ling Xiao to think so clearly.

The Crown Princess looked gentle but was actually proud and self-possessed. She was used to being aloof and always blaming or venting her anger on others.

Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips and nodded in agreement: “Well, I will listen to you, stay away from His Highness the Imperial Grandson in the future.”

In fact, if she wanted to use the power of the Eastern Palace to avenge your hatred, she would inevitably have to have contact with the Imperial Grandson.

If she didn’t want to be involved in the personal relationship between a man and a woman, she had to make her attitude clear at the beginning to avoid misunderstandings.

After Ling Xiao fell asleep, Ling Jingshu carefully tucked him in. Sitting by the bed, waiting for Ling Xiao to fall asleep before leaving.

Just when she thought Ling Xiao had fallen asleep, Ling Xiao suddenly opened her mouth and asked again: “Ah Shu, what do you think of Imperial Doctor Wei?”

Ling Jingshu laughed hoarsely.

“Ah Xiao, what’s wrong with you today? First, it’s the Imperial Grandson, then it’s Physician Wei. I’m not yet at the age to be worrying about marriage, so do I really need to settle down right now?”

Ling Xiao was a little startled by the laughter: “That’s not what I meant. I just always hear you praising Dr. Wei for his handsome face and good medical skills, so that’s why…”

“Okay, don’t think about it anymore.” Ling Jingshu said with a smile and a brisk tone: “The most important thing now is to heal your eyes so stop thinking nonsense.”

Ling Xiao responded obediently and closed his eyes. Soon he fell asleep.

Ling Jingshu stared at Ling Xiao’s peaceful sleeping face, her expression soft and calm.

…

That night.

It was rare for Uncle Ling to return home early. He ate his dinner in front of the juniors with an air of dignity and a normal expression.

After returning to the house. Uncle Ling immediately showed his true face and asked with excitement and eagerness: “How many of them went to the Prince’s Mansion today? Did it go well?”

As expected of an old couple who had been married for more than 20 years, they even almost asked the same question.

Naturally, Sun Shi knew what Uncle Ling wanted to ask the most, and she immediately smiled and told everything she heard during the day: “…The Imperial Grandson showed up early in the morning, and His Royal Highness also went to the guest room to see them. I heard from Yu Niang that His Royal Highness paid special attention to Ah Shu.”

“It was more than a success for them to go to the Prince’s Mansion.” 

Who’s wish came true?

Of course, it was Uncle Ling’s!

Uncle Ling’s heart, which had been hanging for a day, suddenly dropped to the ground, and he smiled happily: “Okay, okay, great! The fifth brother has accomplished nothing in so many years. But he gave birth to a good daughter.”

The matter was obvious.

The Imperial Grandson was already interested in Ling Jingshu and had been waiting outside the study for a long time.

As for the attitude of His Highness the Crown Prince, it was a surprise.

Seeing Uncle Ling so happy, Sun Shi felt happy in her heart. After thinking for a while, she said worriedly: “Master, I am worried about something else. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in his prime. When he met Ah Shu, what if he also had thoughts…”

A man in his thirties, in his prime, what if he had also been captivated by Ah Shu’s beauty? What then?

Uncle Ling was stunned for a moment and then said after thinking for a moment: “His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has been recuperating in peace and quiet over the past few years. He rarely gets close to women. Besides, Ah Shu is still young after all. Your Highness should not have such thoughts!

“What’s impossible about this? “

Sun Shi curled her lips and unceremoniously exposed Master Ling’s past: “When the master was in his thirties, didn’t he also take in a beautiful maid in her teens?”

Uncle Ling coughed awkwardly: “It’s all in the past. Why do you always bring up that incident?”

Lest Sun Shi wouldn’t let go of the sore foot, he hurriedly changed the topic: “I think that His Highness the Crown Prince has heard some rumors, so he pays special attention to Ah Shu.”

This was also possible.

The Imperial Grandson once rescued Ah Shu, and specially rewarded Ah Shu with a famous post. He paid attention to Ah Shu everywhere. It was sure that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had heard about it.

Sun Shi thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said: ” Master, let’s not consider the attitude of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess for the time being. I’m a little worried about Ah Shu.”

“Ah Yan is shallow and can’t hide her thoughts at all. But Ah Shu is different. She seems gentle and quiet, but in reality, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with a strong will of her own. I can’t figure out what she’s thinking. This morning, I asked her to change into new clothes and redo her hair, but no matter what I said, she refused. It seems she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for the Imperial Grandson…”

How could a woman not love beauty? In front of her sweetheart, it was normal to wear bright and beautiful clothes. Ah Shu’s performance today was extraordinary.

There was only one explanation.

Ah Shu had no interest in the Imperial Grandson.

Uncle Ling smiled indifferently and said, “Stop overthinking. The Imperial Grandson, with his unparalleled status and exceptional looks, how could Ah Shu not be interested? Her refusal to dress up meticulously today is just due to a young lady’s modesty and shyness.”

Was it really because of this?

Sun Shi glanced at Uncle Ling dubiously: “What if Ah Shu really has no intention of entering the Imperial Grandson’s palace?”

Uncle Ling was choked for a moment and quickly said with force and reason: “For life-long matters, you must obey the orders of your elders. It is not her turn to be a picky girl.”

Sun Shi couldn’t help but retorted: “You have to obey your parents’ orders for life-long matters, and it’s not the uncle’s turn to make the decision!”

Uncle Ling: “…”

Uncle Ling coughed, the volume was slightly lower, and he didn’t take it for granted: “My mother is still alive, so I have to ask my mother about Ah Shu’s marriage. Otherwise, it would be the fifth brother and the fifth dìmèi ^[1]wife of younger brother who have to worry about it. It’s really not my turn to make the decision. However, as a dàbó, there is nothing wrong with me caring about my zhínǚ. “^[2]daughter of brother

As he spoke, his tone became more confident again: “If this matter can really come true, Ah Shu will be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life. Sooner or later, the great Zhou Dynasty will belong to the Imperial Grandson, and there will always be a day when the Imperial Grandson will sit on the dragon’s throne. By that time, Ah Shu will be the fēi in the palace. If she gives birth to a son earlier, she might have had greater opportunities and blessings. “

“Back then, the daughter of the Xu family entered the palace and became a fēi. She won the favor of the Emperor and became a guìfēi, and then became an Empress. The Xu family has also skyrocketed, and how prosperous it is now!

“Maybe our Ling family will have such a day in the future.”

The more Uncle Ling talked, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

It was as if he had witnessed with his own eyes the day when Ling Jingshu ascended the throne of Empress and the Ling family became the first family of the Zhou Dynasty!

Sun Shi’s blood was also boiling after hearing this, and she asked anxiously: “Master, then what should we do next? “

Uncle Ling thought for a while and then made up his mind: “I will write a letter tomorrow to send someone back to Dingzhou.”

As for Ling Jingshu’s life-long events, his eldest dàbó cannot make the decision. Let his mother and fifth brother make the decision!
