After all, according to Ling Qingwan, when the Northern Zhou and Dai Viet were at war, Fuso would intervene and reap the benefits. And Shen Chengzhou was eventually defeated by the Fuso people.
It would be fine if what Ling Qingwan said didn't work. But except for the part about Fusang, most of the other things worked.
"Are these all obtained from fortune-telling?" Wei Xun frowned.
A fortune teller could predict the fate of several countries so accurately. Is there really such a mysterious thing in this world
"Yeah." Ling Qingwan nodded.
"Do you believe me?"
Ling Qingwan was a little nervous.
After all, even she herself found it hard to believe.
"I believe you." Wei Xun said with great certainty.
Ling Qingwan's eyes flickered.
"Since the matter of Fusang has not worked, it means that it does not seem to be a threat to Dai Viet at the moment. But I will remember what you said, and I will be extremely careful when I interact with Fusang in the future to prevent Fusang people from having too much contact with General Shen."
Wei Xun made a serious promise to Ling Qingwan.
Seeing that Wei Xun took her words seriously, Ling Qingwan was deeply moved.
She originally thought that it was difficult enough to make Wei Xun believe her.
"Fool." Wei Xun couldn't help but feel his heart surging when he saw Ling Qingwan's eyes full of emotion when she looked at him.
As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently kissed Ling Qingwan's forehead.
"Miss!"
Qiao'er ran in and saw the two of them hugging each other.
Ling Qingwan felt a little shy and quickly pulled herself away from Wei Xun's arms.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?" Wei Xun was displeased.
I've been very busy lately and had a rare chance to spend some time with Ling Qingwan, but we were interrupted by Qiao'er.
"In reply to Your Majesty and Miss, the princess of Northern Zhou came to the Ling Mansion and said she wanted to see you." Qiao'er reported truthfully.
"Shang Chu?" Ling Qingwan was surprised.
She and Shang Chu had only met yesterday at the prince's birthday banquet, but she didn't expect that Shang Chu would find the Ling Mansion.
"I'll go and take a look."
After thinking about it, Ling Qingwan decided to go and see what was going on.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Wei Xun's mouth corners slightly raised.
After greeting Wei Xun, Ling Qingwan hurried to the hall.
Shang Chu was casually shaking the tea in the cup. When he saw Ling Qingwan coming, he stood up quickly.
"Greetings, Princess." Ling Qingwan nodded slightly to Shang Chu.
Shang Chu was obviously at a loss when facing Ling Qingwan.
Strange, am I really that scary? Ling Qingwan thought to herself.
"Is it a bit impertinent of me to come to you suddenly?" Shang Chu felt a little embarrassed.
"No, I just happen to be free." Ling Qingwan smiled. "But I don't know what the princess wants to see me about?"
In her previous life, Ling Qingwan was not familiar with Shang Chu, so she didn't know her either.
But Shang Chu is the Crown Princess, and just based on this fact, Ling Qingwan has to be more wary of her.
There was no other way, because Shang Chu was to marry Song Zhiqing. And Song Zhiqing was the person Ling Qingwan hated the most in the world.
If Song Zhiqing had not yet plotted against her and the people around her, Ling Qingwan would never let Song Zhiqing go.
"I just came to play with you, nothing else." Shang Chu said with a smile.
"Looking to me to play?" Ling Qingwan was confused.
"When I first came to Da Yue, my third sister mentioned you to me when I said goodbye. I have been curious about you all this time. I have also heard a lot about your deeds, and I admire you even more. When I saw you yesterday, I thought you were gentle and kind, and seemed like a good-natured person, so I took the liberty to come and see you."
As Shang Chu spoke, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I don't have many friends in Da Yue. They are all against me. Only the prince treats me well. But I can't follow the prince around every day..."
While Shang Chu was speaking, Ling Qingwan kept looking at her.
Looking at her, she doesn't seem to be scheming. Instead, she gives people a very sincere feeling.
"You just said that when you said goodbye to Princess Shangwu, she mentioned me to you?" Ling Qingwan suddenly remembered.
"Yeah." Shang Chu nodded repeatedly.
"What did she say about me?" Ling Qingwan was curious.
Given Shang Wu's temperament, and the fact that she had suffered a lot in those two months in Dayue, I'm sure she had blamed her many times in front of Shang Chu.
But judging from Shangchu's reaction, it didn't look like she heard Shangwu say something bad about her.
"She said that if I encounter trouble in Dayue, I can come to you and you will help me." Shang Chu told Ling Qingwan.
…
What does Shangwu think
Ling Qingwan was speechless.
What made her think she would help her sister
"Ms. Ling?"
Seeing that Ling Qingwan was slow to respond, Shang Chu called out cautiously.
"I'm here." Ling Qingwan reacted.
"Then can I be friends with you?" Shang Chu asked Ling Qingwan.
"… "
This was the first time Ling Qingwan was blocked from speaking.
How did she answer this
Shang Wu had done so many stupid things before and almost helped Ye Yun kill Ling Xiao. Ling Qingwan still had a grudge against her and naturally didn't want to help take care of her sister.
But Shangchu is indeed innocent and naive, unlike Shangwu.
Besides, Shangwu has already said this, she can't just say "no".
"Can."
In the end, Ling Qingwan had no choice but to agree.
"Great!" Shang Chu was very excited.
"Then you are my first friend."
"The first friend?" Ling Qingwan was puzzled.
"Yes. I have a bad temper. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, my brothers and sisters didn't like to play with me. After I came to Dai Viet, everyone was on guard against me and kept their distance from me. So, you are really my first friend."
Shang Chu grinned and smiled exceptionally brightly.
Ling Qingwan suddenly felt sorry for Shang Chu.
He was not welcomed during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when he came to Dai Viet, he had to be cautious in everything he said and did because of the responsibilities he shouldered.
After Shang Chu left, Ling Qingwan returned to the backyard.
Wei Xun hadn't left yet. When he saw Ling Qingwan coming back, he hurriedly asked him to sit down.
"From the look of you, do you think my home is yours?" Ling Qingwan chuckled.
"Yes, you chatted with others for so long and left me alone in the room, lonely and helpless for a long time, and you didn't comfort me." After saying that, Wei Xun pretended to look aggrieved.
Ling Qingwan was amused and laughed.
Indeed, Shang Chu was too enthusiastic and kept talking to her for a long time. By the time Ling Qingwan reacted, more than an hour had passed.
For more than an hour, Wei Xun just stayed in the room waiting for her silently.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Wei Xun chuckled. "By the way, what did Princess Shangchu tell you?"
With the previous experience of Shang Wu, Wei Xun couldn't help but subconsciously guard against Shang Chu.
So, Ling Qingwan told Wei Xun that Shang Chu wanted to be friends with her.
"Why do people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty like to be so familiar with others?" Wei Xun muttered in a low voice.
Manxing and Shangwu were like this before, they were rejected but still insisted on sticking with him. I didn't expect Shangwu to do the same.
But in comparison, Shangwu's requirements are simpler and not as annoying as those two.
"If you don't like it but can't bear to refuse, I'll help you talk to the prince."
