Then Mrs. Ling wiped her tears and stood up, "No, we can't let the Su family know about this matter. Boss, come here quickly, get some money and go out to put it aside. This rumor can be put to rest. This marriage can't be done." Break."
Lingqi also felt that this was inappropriate and said: "Mother, let alone whether we can hide it, even if we can hide it, the Su family doesn't know. After Miss Su gets married, the Su family will say that we deceived them." Yes, this is marriage fraud."
Mrs. Ling glared, "What kind of marriage are you cheating on? This is the matchmaker guaranteed by Princess Jin, and your brother was injured on the battlefield. He has served the country well. If you go back and make trouble in front of His Highness, there is no chance that he will be able to hold an official position." It's better than just being a guard now, and becoming an official, the Su family will naturally have nothing to say."
Lingqi also felt that he should become an official, so he said: "Mother, why don't we just cancel this marriage? We can't hide it anyway. We should go to His Highness first and find an official position for my brother."
"What do you know? You can get an official position even if you get married. Besides, what will our family have to worry about in the future if we are in Prince Jin's palace? You and your brother have a bright future, not to mention your father."
Mrs. Ling is now obsessed with getting into an official position. She has actually interacted with the ladies a lot now. Seeing their high-ranking officials and their generous salaries, she is very anxious. When can she be like them? Not to mention her official duties, as long as there are a few officials in the family, she can speak louder, and she doesn't have to be as humble as she is now.
Lingxiu's heart felt cold when he heard that they planned to use his "disability" in exchange for benefits. He stood up and went into the house to pack things without saying a word.
He couldn't stay in this house.
Anyway, the marriage will be cancelled. He might as well move to the East Palace as early as possible. It would be more convenient to follow His Highness in and out. Anyway, His Highness had asked him to move in before. As His Highness's bodyguard, it is best for him to provide close protection.
Seeing him packing his clothes and coming out, Mrs. Ling said angrily: "Why are you so crazy? Where are you going?"
"If I move out, the wedding will be cancelled. Even if we don't break off the engagement, the Su family will break off the engagement. We can't hide this." After Ling Xiu finished speaking, he strode out, leaving Mrs. Ling furious behind her. Shouting, he was stunned and did not look back.
The Cheng'en Hall in the East Palace is the palace where the prince lives. There is a row of gardens in the northwest corner for the palace residents to live in. The Shenzhan Garden in the southwest corner is the dormitory of the Qinglong Guards of the internal service. Ape and Master Wei also live here. Live very close.
The Qinglong Guards who work in the field will basically not stay in the East Palace, because they are not on duty in the East Palace, and they will run outside after receiving tasks.
Unless there is something urgent, I usually don't come.
Lingxiu is the commander of the inner and outer Qinglong Guards, and the internal staff also respects him, but the internal staff is left to Ape to manage.
When Lingxiu moved in, Ape was both happy and worried. She was happy that she could see him every day, but she was worried that he had left home. Wasn't this the same as having a falling out with her family?
After settling down for spiritual practice, I went to see His Highness and the Crown Princess.
Nangong Yitian had originally asked Lingxiu to move into the East Palace God Battle Garden, but Lingxiu did not agree to move in because his parents were at home, and Nangong Yitian did not force him.
"Do your parents agree?" Nangong Yitian asked.
Lingxiu said: "Your Highness, they think that being an official is more important than having a son. Now that my subordinates are staying in the East Palace, it will be easier to do things and they will have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds. They will be able to find an official position in the future and fulfill their long-cherished wish."
Ling Xiu said this sarcastically and vindictively, which shows that there is resentment in his heart.
Leng Xiao asked: "But because of the rumors circulating outside?"
"When it comes to the Crown Princess, they don't care about their subordinates. They only care that if this marriage is ruined, it will offend Princess Jin and hinder the future of their father and brothers in the family."
