On the tenth day of June, the weather was fine, the breeze was gentle, and the sun was shining brightly.
Ling Jingyan, who was carefully dressed up, looked like a spring hibiscus, with a sweet smile on her face, which was particularly charming and bright.
In contrast, Jiang is much more low-key. Dressed modestly, not eye-catching.
Before she came out of the cabinet, she was also a well-known lady who was famous for her talent and beauty. Every time you go out for a visit or a trip, you must dress up carefully to steal the show. After I got married, my desire to be strong gradually faded away.
When Ling Jingshu appeared in front of them, both Ling Jingyan and Jiang were a little surprised.
Ling Jingyan blurted out: "Ah Shu, why did you go out without even wearing any new clothes?"
It was a rare occasion to go out, and even the maids were wearing new clothes. Ling Jingshu was wearing a sky-blue skirt and was about to go out... Ling Jingyan had seen Ling Jingshu wear this dress at least twice.
not only that!
Ling Jingshu had no makeup on her face, her long hair was styled in the simplest style, and she didn't even wear a silk flower, let alone any Zhuchai jewelry.
Simple and plain, almost shabby.
Ling Jingshu smiled nonchalantly: "Today I went out to the Huichun Hall, not to attend some boudoir party, nor to be a guest at any house. It doesn't hurt to dress simply."
"It's too simple for you!" Ling Jingyan muttered: "Even the maids around me are better dressed than you. If I go out like this and meet someone I know, I won't have the shame to introduce you as my cousin."
Jiang was much more attentive and perceptive than Ling Jingyan, and asked tentatively: "A-Shu, are you worried that wearing something too revealing will attract the attention of bad people?"
Ling Jingshu smiled and said nothing, acquiescing.
Once bitten, twice shy! If she hadn't shown her face in front of the gangsters last time, how could the gangsters have targeted her
If you dress so plainly and simply, and if you put on a curtain to cover your face, you won't attract any more attention!
Ling Jingyan was still trying to persuade Ling Jingshu to go back to the house and change into new clothes before going out: "... It's still early, you can go change into new clothes before going out. You don't have to worry about meeting any more gangsters, Luoyang City is the emperor Underfoot, it’s very peaceful..."
Ling Jingshu's face suddenly changed, and she said seriously to Ling Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, actually I am doing this all for you. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Ling Jingyan was stunned when she heard this: "For me?"
Ling Jingshu didn't wear new clothes or dress up carefully. Why did she have anything to do with her again
"Yes, just for you." Ling Jingshu continued with a serious face: "If I put on new clothes and dress up carefully, everyone will stare at me, and no one will look at you."
Ling Jingyan: "..."
Mr. Jiang burst into laughter.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Ling Jingyan gritted her teeth and rushed over with bared teeth: "Okay, you actually turned around and disliked me for not being as good-looking as you! Don't hide, I'm going to kill you now!"
... ...
After some laughter, Ling Jingshu got into the carriage without changing into new clothes.
Ling Jingshu sat by the car window, carefully paying attention to the street outside the car window through the fine bamboo curtains.
Ms. Jiang was sitting diagonally across from Ling Jingshu. From her angle, she could just see Ling Jingshu's side face.
The fair and delicate skin is like the fine texture of suet jade, soft and smooth. Appropriately thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, a slightly tilted nose, bright red lips, a small and gracefully curved chin...
There is no place that is not beautiful.
Hibiscus comes out of clear water, and the carvings are naturally removed.
How can such beauty be compared to the meticulous carvings made of vulgar powder
Jiang sighed secretly in her heart.
Women all want to be born beautiful, but being beautiful to such a thrilling level may not be a blessing. If it arouses the covetous attention of interested people, I wonder if the Ling family can protect this peerless pearl.
No wonder Ling Jingshu didn't want to dress up carefully and went out dressed so plainly.
Ling Jingshu seemed to realize that Mrs. Jiang had been looking at her, and looked at Ms. Jiang with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you always looking at me?"
Jiang smiled half-seriously: "I'm wondering who will be lucky enough to marry a beauty like you in the future. I will definitely treat you like a treasure and take good care of you."
A hint of complexity and sadness flashed in Ling Jingshu's eyes, and she tugged at the corner of her lips: "Emotions won by beauty will not last long after all. No matter how beautiful your face is, there will be a day when your beauty will fade with age. By that time, won't you be alive? More bleak.”
The tone was indifferent and cold, as if he was not talking about himself, but an unrelated person.
Jiang was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously opened his mouth to retort: "If you think so, it's a bit extreme. There are unlucky men in the world who are greedy for beauty and sex, but they are in love with each other, and there are also good men who value love and justice and never leave. You can't do that. One pole can knock over a whole boat of people."
Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: "My cousin is right. My cousin is a good man who values love and righteousness. It is really good luck for my cousin to marry me and live in harmony."
Speaking of Ling Ji, Jiang's cheeks turned red and her eyes shone with happiness.
Apart from the anxiety of being unable to conceive, she had almost no regrets in her life.
Ling Jingyan, who had always been talkative, became uncharacteristically silent after getting on the carriage, her eyes wandering, wondering what she was thinking.
After hearing Ling Jingshu's words, Ling Jingyan suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Ah Shu, if you have someone you like in your heart. But the other person has a noble status and cannot marry you as his wife. Will you be willing to marry him as your concubine?"
Ling Jingshu's heart moved.
Ling Jingyan clearly felt this. The "person she likes" must be King Yan.
King Yan is the legitimate son of Queen Xu and the emperor's favorite youngest son. Among all the princes, the most popular one was even more popular than the prince who was resting in the East Palace.
King Yan is fifteen years old and has not yet been married.
However, the daughter of a mere fourth-grade official is obviously not qualified to be a prince's concubine.
A prince's concubine can be considered a serious royal daughter-in-law if she can enter the royal family tree. They are also qualified to raise their children themselves. The status is only below that of the prince and concubine. However, in essence, it is just a concubine with a higher status.
Ling Jingyan's obsession with King Yan did not end well in her previous life. It would be a good thing for her if she could get rid of Ling Jingyan's thoughts earlier in this life...
"No."
"I don't want to compromise my feelings! I don't want to share my husband with other women! A man who truly loves me will definitely be reluctant to wrong me!"
Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Jingyan steadily and spoke concisely, powerfully and resolutely: "If I really fall in love with someone, no matter whether he is high or low, I will treat him the same. He must also treat me like this. In this life, I will only marry him." Me alone, give me your whole heart. Otherwise, I would rather not have it!"
