Ling Jingshu was also slightly startled and did not answer. Instead, she quickly looked at Ling Jingyan.
Ling Jingyan's face turned red again. However, this time it was not out of shyness and joy, but disappointment and embarrassment.
Ever since she met King Yan by chance at Dingxiang Tower a few months ago, his presence has been deeply imprinted on her heart. It is haunted by dreams and never forgotten. Going through all the trouble just to see him again...
I never expected that it would be like this after meeting!
He didn't look at her twice, and he paid no attention to her.
He had no memory of ever meeting her!
Ling Jingyan bit her lip hard, her eyes quickly filled with water, filled with grievance and sadness.
Seeing that Ling Jingshu was ignoring King Yan with indifference, Eunuch Xi suddenly became angry and said in a sharp voice: "How dare you! How dare you remain silent when His Highness King Yan asks you a question! Are you impatient?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jingshu looked over and asked lightly: "Who are you?"
Eunuch Xi was confused by the question and subconsciously answered: "Our family is Eunuch Xi, the chamberlain of His Highness King Yan."
After he finished speaking, he was shocked to realize that he had been overpowered by a young girl's aura, and he suddenly felt ashamed. Then he glared back angrily: "Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously in front of His Highness King Yan!"
It's a pity that Eunuch Xi was still kneeling in front of King Yan at this time, twisting his body to speak. Not only did he not have a terrifying aura, but he looked ridiculous.
Ling Jingshu did indeed raise the corner of her mouth, and a sarcastic smile appeared in her eyes: "It turns out to be Eunuch Xi. Eunuch Xi kept saying that I was being impudent, and that I was impatient with life. Could it be that he wants to punish me now? Dare I ask? Is this the intention of His Highness King Yan, or the intention of Eunuch Xi?"
Grandpa Xi: "..."
What a cunning and sharp tongue!
Before Eunuch Xi could argue, Ling Jingshu continued calmly: "When we first saw the noble man, we didn't react in time. His Highness, King Yan, was broad-minded and didn't care. You, an evil slave, took advantage of your power to bully others. It's really disgusting. With you. With such an evil slave around, I don’t know how much trouble I have caused for His Highness King Yan, and I don’t know how much arrogance and domineering bad reputation I have gained for His Highness King Yan! I really don’t know how you can have the dignity to stay with His Highness King Yan!”
... ... Every word is heart-breaking!
Eunuch Xi was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking with anger, but he did not dare to curse any more. Suppressing the anger of being humiliated, he kowtowed repeatedly and cried: "Your Highness, this slave is loyal to you, as can be seen from the sun and the moon. This wild girl who comes from nowhere is smearing my slave every word. I am wronged..."
King Yan ignored his interest.
His eyes kept falling on Ling Jingshu, who looked calm and indifferent. His slightly narrow eyes sparkled with interest: "Who are you?"
... ...
You can ignore Eunuch Xi's questions, but you can't ignore King Yan's questions.
Ling Jingshu calmed down her mind, lowered her head slightly, and bowed with her hands folded: "When I return to Your Highness, my little girl's surname is Ling, and she ranks ninth in the family."
Of course I can't say my maiden name.
King Yan obviously didn't understand the meaning of subtlety and euphemism, so he asked directly: "What is your maiden name?"
Ling Jingshu responded in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Only the family knows the woman's maiden name, and it is inconvenient to tell outsiders. Your Highness, Prince Yan, is well-educated and knows etiquette, so he will not force others to do anything difficult."
What a sharp-tongued girl!
Kneeling in front of King Yan, Eunuch Xi sneered secretly in his heart. He has served King Yan for two years and is very familiar with King Yan's temper.
King Yan was used to being self-centered and could not tolerate others disobeying his wishes. This Miss Ling Jiu responded like this, she simply didn't know how to live or die. Just wait for His Highness King Yan to be furious!
... ... The expected situation did not appear!
His Highness King Yan did not get angry, but raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What you said makes sense, I am the most beautiful woman in Tangtu."
He was born extremely handsome, and when he showed his face, his narrow eyes suddenly shone with a seductive light, like peach blossoms blooming.
It was this smile that made Ling Jingyan fall in love at first sight and be fascinated by it.
But in his eyes, he could only see Ling Jingshu and didn't notice her at all.
Tears welled up in Ling Jingyan's eyes. If it weren't for her last bit of stubbornness and pride, she would have cried on the spot.
Jiang, who was full of shock, was already in a mess in his mind.
However, at this time, you have to deal with the present first, and the rest... It won't be too late to settle the accounts with Ling Jingyan later.
Jiang collected herself, took two steps forward, and saluted solemnly: "I am Jiang, and I have met His Highness King Yan. My father-in-law's name is Ling Ji, and he is now the supervisor of the Imperial College. My father-in-law works in the Ministry of Works. Si Langzhong."
The identity and origins were clearly explained.
King Yan also received some errands on weekdays and went to court every day to listen to government affairs. However, the people he usually comes into contact with are people like Liubu Tangguan. A mere fourth-grade Gongbu doctor would not take him seriously.
Hearing Jiang's words at this time, only the face of a very vague middle-aged man flashed through King Yan's mind: "Is this Mr. Ling Zhiyuan Ling?"
Jiang responded respectfully.
Jiang's appearance diverted King Yan's attention, and he could no longer stare at Ling Jingshu: "Your surname is Jiang. Could it be that you are a descendant of the British Duke's family?"
"Yes, my father's name contains the word "Hao", and he is now on duty in the Ministry of Rites. I call myself uncle, the British cousin." Mr. Jiang is worthy of being from a famous family. After the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and introduced them one by one in an orderly manner: "Just now and The person your Highness is speaking to is the cousin from the fifth room of the Ling family, and the person standing next to her is her twin brother Ling Xiao."
"This is my sister-in-law, the youngest daughter of Ling's family. She is the eighth in the family."
After saying that, he winked at Ling Jingyan: "Ayan, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you come quickly to pay your respects to His Highness King Yan?"
There were reminders and warnings in those eyes.
The young man in front of him is no ordinary person, and the Ling family cannot afford to offend him.
Jiang has always had a gentle temper, but he has almost never seen such a serious and almost stern look in his eyes.
Ling Jingyan's whole body was trembling, and she finally came to her senses. She bit her lips and walked forward to salute: "Little girl Ling Jingyan, I have met His Highness Prince Yan."
Ling Jingshu: "..."
How could any woman be so generous as to reveal her maiden name? Ling Jingyan was really stunned by King Yan, and even the reserve of a girl in the boudoir was forgotten.
King Yan glanced at Ling Jingyan casually: "No courtesy."
Unlike Ling Jingshu, Ling Jingyan is actually a pretty and cute beauty. But with Zhuyu by her side, that pretty face that had been carefully decorated seemed blurry again.
King Yan still didn't remember that the two of them had ever met each other.
