Leng Xiao looked at the two of them. Master Ling had dark skin, sharp features, and some heavy wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Perhaps his hair was gray due to years of hard work.
Mrs. Ling is quite pampered and looks like she is seven or eight years younger than Mr. Ling. She is well-maintained, with fair complexion and few wrinkles. However, her lips are very thin, which shows that she has been talking a lot.
The two were cautious and did not dare to raise their heads to look at the Crown Princess. They could only vaguely see the noble pregnant woman in front of them staring at them, and they felt increasingly uneasy.
"Master Ling, Mrs. Ling, please sit down." Leng Xiao looked at her for a while before speaking slowly.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Lord Ling wiped his forehead.
"You can sit down when the princess tells you to," Wen Zhu said from the side.
Master Ling said oh, slowly moved over, and sat down nervously. Seeing this, Mrs. Ling also walked over and sat next to him. With her husband's tall body in front of her, she dared to look at the prince secretly. Concubine glanced at her.
I saw that the Crown Princess's belly was as big as a bucket, but she still had a graceful and majestic temperament. How could her aura be comparable to that of Princess Jin?
When she met Princess Jin for the first time that day, she was shocked by the majesty of the royal family. When she talked about the Crown Princess with them, she always thought that she was a coquettish bitch who could confuse the Crown Prince. However, she did not expect that she was so dignified. Extraordinary.
Leng Xiao spoke slowly, "Two days ago, Lingxiu came to me to propose marriage, saying that he wanted to marry my cousin Ape. However, I heard that Lingxiu had proposed marriage, so I specially called the two of them into the East Palace to ask. He originally Is there anything to discuss about getting married?"
Master Ling and his wife were immediately confused when they heard that Ape was the cousin of the Crown Princess. Isn't Apei a female guard of the East Palace? Why is she the Crown Princess's cousin?
It turned out that although the Min family held a banquet and announced Ape's identity, because Mrs. Ling had been ill recently and was worried day and night that Princess Jin would retaliate against her, she was uneasy and did not dare to ask anyone out to inquire.
That’s why I didn’t know about A Pei being adopted as an adopted daughter by the Min family.
"Is this possible?" Leng Xiao raised her voice and asked again, her voice full of authority.
Madam Ling trembled with fright, "When I went back to the Crown Princess, we did discuss it. It was Princess Jin who was the matchmaker. She was talking about the concubine of Langzhong Su's family, but now the Su family has canceled the engagement."
Leng Xiao snorted, "Lingxiu is from the East Palace. He has been with His Highness for many years and is highly valued by His Highness. When will it be Princess Jin's turn to protect his marriage? She is like a dog and a mouse, meddling in other people's business. How can you listen to her? Hers? Don’t you know that Lingxiu is looking for something in the East Palace?"
These words were full of blame, which made Mrs. Ling's heart tremble, and she replied hesitantly, "This... At that time, Princess Jin said that she wanted to marry Ling Xiu, and I... I couldn't refuse because I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. "
"Confused!" Leng Xiao lowered her face, "How can you agree to a marriage that is not easy to refuse? With such perfunctory behavior, do you regard spiritual life-long matters as trivial matters? You have already found someone in spiritual practice, don't you know? "
Mrs. Ling was startled and knelt down on the ground, trembling and saying, "Prince Princess, I forgive you. I know this, but I just thought..."
"What do you think? Do you look down on my cousin?" Leng Xiao stared at her with sharp eyes and said lightly: "Yes, people outside say so and so about me. If you despise me, you will naturally despise me too. cousin."
Madam Ling shook her head violently, "I don't dare. How dare I despise the Crown Princess?"
"Didn't you despise me?" Leng Xiao's face was cold. "If you didn't despise me, what did you say in private? Is there anything in my body that you have not criticized me for? Do you need me to repeat what Mrs. Ling once said?"
Madam Ling was so frightened that someone had really betrayed her, but they had all discussed the Crown Princess in private. Who was innocent? No one is innocent, but in order to please the Crown Princess, they sold her out. What kind of people are they?
Why would she still want to associate with those people? It's really terrible.
