Nangong Yitian said: "Prince Jin wants to do anything. You should be more vigilant in the future and don't let anyone take advantage of you again."
"I know." Ape was angry, but he was obviously in a good mood, and his face regained its luster.
Although Ling Xiu has not yet broken off the engagement, it is enough to know his intentions.
She didn't really think about getting married. After getting married, she wouldn't be as free as she is now, and she might not be able to continue to accompany the Crown Princess. She was too reluctant to say goodbye to the Qinglong Guard.
Therefore, when she thought that after marrying Lingxiu, she would only be able to take care of the family affairs at home, serve her parents-in-law, and have and raise children, she regretted that she had agreed too quickly.
Leng Xiao saw what she was thinking and took her into the palace to find some answers.
"Since you agreed to Lingxiu, and Lingxiu also went to work for you to cancel the engagement, then don't think too much, just wait for your marriage with peace of mind. As for if you still want to come back to me after marrying him, then Discuss it carefully with Lingxiu. I have said before that you are just working in the East Palace, not your whole life. Lingxiu is a good man. What she can give you, neither I nor His Highness can give you, so if he does not agree to your return, , you should not argue with him, talk to him properly, express your feelings to him, and do his ideological work, spiritual practice is not a stubborn person, so he can make sense."
Ape said: "I understand, he is easy to talk to, but his parents may not agree. After I marry him, I can't let him contradict his parents to protect me, right?"
"Ape, I can only tell you that the person you marry is him, not his parents. His parents' opinions are not important, but what you will think in the end depends on you."
Ape sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so complicated. I'm not good at dealing with this. It's really frustrating."
"Life is lived day by day, and things are dealt with one by one. Don't think too much."
Leng Xiao knew that the things she would face in the future might be far more complicated than what she faced now, because Ling Xiu's parents didn't like her, and even if she could get married, her parents-in-law would deliberately make things difficult for her.
Ape can be very resolute when running errands, but he is very poor at dealing with interpersonal relationships, almost all based on his temper.
But she will grow.
Now she wanted to see what Leng Xiao would do.
The most direct way is to let the Su family propose to cancel the engagement themselves, but it is Princess Jin who is the matchmaker for this marriage. To cancel the engagement would offend Princess Jin. If it is unreasonable, the Su family will not propose it.
As for Lingxiu's parents, it is even less likely that Mrs. Ling feels that it is a supreme honor for her to curry favor with someone of Princess Jin's level.
Leng Xiao's guess is correct. Mrs. Ling believes that although Ling Xiu is from the East Palace, he has no official position and no rank. The Qinglong Guard is not included in any government agency of the imperial court. He is equivalent to the leader of errands and the prince's slave, so Ling Xiu is Madam looked down upon her own son.
Mrs. Ling hoped that her son could really get a job, one recognized by the court, rather than a slave who could die for his master at any time.
But Ling Xiu actually keeps a low profile, because he has a very high status in the East Palace. Even Master Lu is polite when speaking to him. He is just the leader of the Qinglong Guard. He needs to keep a low profile or even be invisible, so that he can maximize his potential. to protect themselves.
Therefore, at home, he never mentioned his position in the East Palace, nor did he mention how His Highness appreciated him.
In the past, the spirit mother didn't feel depressed, but recently she had been interacting with officials and their families a lot. She was belittling herself and felt very inferior. Until Princess Jin said she wanted to marry her son, she was praised by everyone and felt that her position had improved. .
Moreover, although Su Langzhong's official rank is not high, he is also a high-ranking doctor and is respected by others. It is his family who has reached a high level. If the choice of daughter-in-law is changed from the Su family girl to the bodyguard Ape, she will definitely not be happy.
