The next day, the Crown Princess ordered someone to send a makeup gift to Ling Mansion.
The makeup gift is unexpectedly generous. In addition to the common clothing materials, headgear and jewelry, there are also several boxes of furs and spices. Most of the furs are fox and mink, and the spices are even more precious and rare. They are all good things that are hard to buy even with money. The most stunning thing is the two luminous pearls contained in exquisite boxes.
The luminous pearl is as big as a pigeon egg, emitting a soft and transparent brilliance. What's even more rare is that the two luminous pearls are the same size and have no flaws. It's enough to be regarded as a family heirloom.
Mrs. Ling fell ill after returning home yesterday and was unable to stay. Uncle Ling and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Ling Wu, had to come out to receive the makeup gift.
"Our Ling family is really flattered by the Crown Princess's great love for Ah Shu." Fifth Master Ling thanked her gratefully.
The generous makeup gifts are certainly pleasing to the eye. What's even more exciting is the goodwill shown by the Prince's Mansion to the Ling family.
The steward who came to present the makeup gift on behalf of the Crown Princess had been warned before he came. He was quite polite to the Ling family and responded with a smile: "You really don't have to be polite, Fifth Master Ling. Miss Ling once saved His Highness the Crown Prince's life. Doctor Wei Your Highness has taken good care of your health for half a year. The Crown Princess will always remember these kindnesses in her heart. Today's makeup gift is just a token of appreciation."
"When Miss Ling gets married, please don't forget to send an invitation to the Prince's Mansion. The Crown Princess will definitely come to congratulate you in person."
Fifth Master Ling responded repeatedly, his smile was extremely attentive, and his face seemed to be shining with light.
Giving birth to such a good daughter is so flattering and shameless.
When a girl from any family gets married, the crown prince personally comes to congratulate her
After sending the steward away, Ling Wuye smiled happily and said, "I asked my sister-in-law to worry about this gift and put it in the warehouse. When Ah Shu gets married, she will take it to her husband's house."
Logically speaking, Li, the stepmother, should have taken part in such important matters as handling the dowry. However, since Ling Jingshu resolutely expressed her attitude, Mrs. Li, the stepmother, has lost her face and has no shame to care about these things anymore.
Mr. Li lowered his head, his expression gloomy, unable to conceal his jealousy and anger, and was slightly twisted.
Sun Shi glanced at Li Shi and sighed secretly.
As an eldest aunt, doing this kind of thing is actually very thankless. But the current situation cannot be ignored. He had no choice but to open his mouth and respond.
Mrs. Sun worked in an orderly manner. While she ordered people to send all kinds of boxes and brocade boxes to the warehouse and put them neatly away, she also asked people to send the gift list for Ling Jingshu to see.
…
After Ling Jingshu received the gift list, she only glanced at it casually and then put it aside without interest.
The dowry prepared by Queen Wei and the Ling family was enough for her to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life. She is not very interested in fine clothes and fine clothes. It doesn't matter to her how many makeup gifts the Crown Princess gives her.
Bai Yu couldn't help but leaned over and took a closer look. The more she looked, the more astonished she became: "Miss, why did the Crown Princess suddenly become so good? Everything listed on this gift list is a good thing!"
Ling Jingshu smiled casually: "This is my thank you gift for saving the prince that day. It should be generous."
This is true!
How noble is the life of His Royal Highness the Prince! No matter how many makeup gifts the princess gives her, it doesn't matter.
The master and servant were talking casually when they saw Qiaoyun walking in.
Since leaving the palace, Qiaoyun's identity has become a bit embarrassing.
Qiaoyun has been with Ling Jingshu for three years, and there is definitely affection between master and servant. However, her identity as an eyeliner is too subtle, and Ling Jingshu wants to use her in an important way, but will not show her heart and soul.
When they were in the palace, the two relied on and trusted each other and lived in peace. Now that Ling Jingshu is out of the palace to get married, her life is basically calm. For the emperor's grandson, this eyeliner is basically useless. Qiaoyun was of no use to Ling Jingshu by his side.
I don’t know what the emperor’s grandson is planning in his heart. Ling Jingshu will be getting married soon. Can't she be allowed to accompany her to the Wei Mansion as a dowry maid? What happens next? Does she still want to supervise the lives of newlyweds and report everything to the emperor's grandson
Not to mention whether Ling Jingshu was happy or not, even Qiaoyun herself felt particularly awkward when she thought about this.
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes and looked over, smiling at Qiao Yun, her attitude gentle as usual: "Qiao Yun, the Crown Princess has sent a makeup gift. Please put the gift list away for me first."
Qiaoyun cheered up and responded with a smile.
…
What worried Qiaoyun soon turned around.
At night, the secret guard hidden outside Ling's mansion sent a box over.
"This is a cosmetic gift sent by His Highness Taisun. I don't know what is inside." Qiao Yun did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately held the box in front of Ling Jingshu: "Please take a look at it, Miss."
The makeup gift sent by the emperor's grandson
Ling Jingshu was stunned for a rare moment and silently accepted the box.
The box is not big, only slightly larger than a fist. It is made of fine golden nanmu. The outside of the box is inlaid with various gems. Not to mention what is in the box, the box itself is an extremely rare treasure.
The box is light and weightless.
After opening it, there was a pile of paper stacked inside.
What's this
Ling Jingshu took out the papers and opened them one by one. When she saw the contents on the paper clearly, her expression was indescribably subtle.
The first one was a land deed for a farm of several hundred acres.
The second one is still the same.
The third, fourth and fifth are the deeds of pavements in the most prosperous areas of the capital.
Then ten silver notes. Each ticket is worth 5,000 taels, totaling 50,000 taels.
The last one is Qiaoyun's deed of betrayal.
… What is the emperor’s grandson doing? This makeup gift is even more generous than the one sent by the Crown Princess. How could she accept it as if nothing had happened
Qiao Yun abided by the rules and did not dare to open her mouth to ask more questions. She just stood aside quietly.
After a long time, Ling Jingshu opened her mouth and said, "Qiaoyun, did the emperor's grandson ask someone to send these here without even a message?"
"As far as I'm concerned, miss, no." Qiaoyun was also secretly guessing what the thick pile of paper was. The banknote is easy to identify, but the rest is unknown.
Ling Jingshu pondered for a while, then made a decision, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness Taisun gave me your deed of betrayal. I think he gave you completely to me. If you are willing, you will no longer be a secret guard in the future, but just be by my side." My maid will marry into the Wei family with me."
"However, I have something to say first. If you decide to stay with me, you must be completely loyal to me. You can no longer send messages to His Majesty the Grand Sun. I have no shortage of maids by my side. I don't want anyone who is half-hearted."
"If you don't want to, I will return the deed of betrayal to you. You'd better go back to His Highness Taisun's secret guard camp." (To be continued)
