Seeing Ling Xiao so frightened that his face turned pale and he was standing there in a daze, Ling Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
My brother has such a bad temper, I'm afraid only my grandfather can cure him.
Shen Chengzhou didn't listen to Ling Qingwan's words. After lunch, he took Ling Xiao to the martial arts arena. Ling Qingwan returned to the room and asked someone to send the pendant to the palace.
evening.
Wei Xun was leaning back in his chair, resting with his eyes closed.
Since returning from Mobei, he has been running between the imperial palace and the prince's mansion all day long without taking a break.
After all, the body is made of flesh, and Wei Xun also knows how to get tired. After three or four days, Wei Xun was visibly tired.
"Your Highness." Wei Yi came in, holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
The box was square, about the size of Wei Xun's palm. He took it and played with it in his hand for a while.
"This was sent from the General's Mansion. They said it was a gift prepared for you by Second Miss Ling." Wei Yi told Wei Xun.
Wei Xun's eyes lit up and he opened the box.
There is a tiger-shaped pendant inside, and the tassels are decorated with jade, which is playful yet steady.
Wei Xun's mouth corners unconsciously rose and he picked up the pendant carefully.
"Is this what Miss Ling gave you?" Wei Yi was surprised when he saw the pendant.
"What's wrong with this?" Wei Xun looked at Wei Yi and his face instantly turned dark.
"That's not what I meant." Wei Yi lowered his head hastily, fearing that Wei Xun had misunderstood him. "I just think that this tiger-shaped pendant is really cute. I've never seen you wear something like this, so I find it strange."
Wei Xun is the powerful Seventh Prince. When has he ever carried such a cute little gadget on him
He just hadn't put it on yet. Guang Wei couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.
"Do you think this pendant is not suitable for me?" Wei Xun tilted his head slightly and looked at Wei Yi.
"Yes... a little bit." Wei Yi shivered and looked up at Wei Xun from time to time while speaking. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Wei Xun looked calm.
Everyone who knew Wei Xun knew that he was very fond of the second daughter of the Ling family. Needless to say, Wei Xun treated the things she gave him as treasures.
"I think it's very suitable." Wei Xun felt happy.
He pinned the pendant on his waist and looked at it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He left Wei Yi aside and looked at it by himself for a long time.
The pendant was made quite delicately, but if you looked closely, you could still see that the craftsmanship was a bit unfamiliar. Wei Xun guessed that the pendant was probably made by Ling Qingwan herself.
Moreover, Ling Qingwan was made into a tiger, and he happened to be born in the year of the tiger.
Wei Xun was very satisfied with this gift.
On the other side, Ling Qingwan was also guessing that Wei Xun should have received the gift.
She felt relieved and planned to pack up and rest.
"Miss, are you going to sleep now?"
When Nanny Park came in, Ling Qingwan was tidying up the bedding.
Ling Qingwan was puzzled, and her eyes bypassed Nanny Park and glanced outside the door.
"It's time to rest at this hour."
"You're not waiting for the Seventh Prince?" Nanny Pu couldn't help it and had to say it bluntly.
Ling Qingwan was stunned at first, and even felt a little embarrassed, with a blush on her cheeks.
It was all Wei Xun's fault. He always liked to sneak into her bedroom in the middle of the night and let everyone around her know. Now that Wei Xun had returned to the capital, Nanny Park was a little uncomfortable with him not climbing through the window to visit Ling Qingwan.
"He won't come today." Ling Qingwan told Nanny Park.
"Ah? Why?" Nanny Park was puzzled.
Wei Xun likes her young lady so much, and now that she has finally come back, how could she be reluctant to see Ling Qingwan.
"He came back because of the war with Northern Zhou. There are a lot of affairs in the court waiting for him to deal with. How could he have the time to see me?" Ling Qingwan smiled.
She was not a petty girl and knew what was important. Even if Wei Xun did not come to visit her, Ling Qingwan would understand.
"What about the pendant you made for the Seventh Prince? Doesn't that mean you can't give it to him?" Nanny Park looked a little depressed.
Wei Xun couldn't come to visit Ling Qingwan, and she looked even more lost than Ling Qingwan.
"I've asked Mingyue to send it to the palace, he should have received it by now." Ling Qingwan said softly. "Don't worry, Mammy. Right now, we should focus on the overall situation. If he were an ordinary citizen, it would be fine, but he is a prince. How can he sit idly by when the Northern Zhou starts a war?"
What's more, there are a lot of cowards in the court. If Wei Xun doesn't take action, no one else can do it except Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao.
"Young lady is so nice. She is considerate and kind-hearted. It is a blessing for the Seventh Prince to be with you in eight lifetimes." Nanny Park sighed repeatedly.
After spending a year with Ling Qingwan, Nanny Pu had already treated her as her own daughter. Now that she saw that Ling Qingwan and Wei Xun's relationship was becoming increasingly solid, it was like marrying off her own daughter.
Ling Qingwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mammy, please don't praise me anymore. If this gets out, people will laugh at me." Ling Qingwan covered her mouth.
Wei Xun was handsome and of noble status, and the women who coveted him lined up from the palace to the city gate. In the eyes of these girls, how could Ling Qingwan be worthy of the white moonlight in their hearts.
"What I said is true!" Nanny Pu said to Ling Qingwan seriously and solemnly.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, she left the room, leaving Ling Qingwan to rest alone.
Two or three days later, Ling Qingwan still hadn't seen Wei Xun.
But the days were quite leisurely. Ling Qingwan only had to wait for Ling Shenshi to come back and help Ling Xiao celebrate his 20th birthday together.
Before Ling Shen came back, Ling Qingwan received a letter from Song Zhiqing.
He invited Ling Qingwan to meet him, saying that he had something to discuss.
Zuixiaolou.
Ling Qingwan went straight up to the second floor and went to the private room at the end.
At the door, a unfamiliar servant was waiting.
Thinking of Chang'an, Ling Qingwan couldn't help but sigh.
It stands to reason that Chang'an was just a servant, powerless, and no one would plot against him like this. If it was really Yun Gui who did it, then his target should be Song Zhiqing, not Chang'an.
After all, Chang'an was just a scapegoat.
"I thought you weren't coming."
When Song Zhiqing saw Ling Qingwan, he was obviously at a loss.
He stood up and looked at Ling Qingwan in panic.
"How dare I refuse an invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Ling Qingwan was polite and modest, and distanced herself from Song Zhiqing with just one sentence.
There was nothing to talk about between her and Song Zhiqing.
It was just the Huajianlou incident that happened a few days ago, and Song Zhiqing suddenly invited her to talk about it, so Ling Qingwan naturally connected the two together.
"You've rejected me quite a lot." Song Zhiqing said softly.
The smile on Ling Qingwan's face froze.
She didn't know whether Song Zhiqing was blaming her or telling her not to be so polite.
"Your Highness said he had something to talk to me about, but what big thing happened?" Ling Qingwan asked.
She didn't want to guess Song Zhiqing's thoughts. Facing Song Zhiqing, Ling Qingwan just wanted to end the battle quickly, so she left after saying that.
"I do have something to tell you."
