Mrs. Ling's embroidery skills are very good. After hearing Concubine Xiao's words, she said, "I don't know what embroidery method was used? Can you change it? I know a little about embroidery, so I might be able to help a little."
Concubine Xiao slapped her forehead and said, "I remember that Madam is proficient in embroidery. Why don't I take Madam to have a look? If Madam can give me some pointers, it will be a great favor to the palace."
King Jin felt relieved and said, "With my wife's help, I feel relieved."
"It's my honor to be able to help His Highness." Madam Ling also breathed a sigh of relief. She is proficient in embroidery. No matter what embroidery method, if she achieves merit in this matter, it can offset the previous incident.
Concubine Xiao invited their mother and daughter to come over. Lingjiuer lowered her head the whole time and did not dare to look at King Jin, but King Jin kept staring at her.
After going to the embroidery room, Concubine Xiao's attitude improved a lot. Especially when she saw that Mrs. Ling could really help, she seemed even more gentle and kind.
The Ling family was secretly worried when they saw that they hadn't returned for so long. Ling Qi went to Prince Jin's Mansion in person to inquire, but the concierge didn't tell them a word, and even said he didn't know they were coming.
Ling Qi was extremely worried, but he didn't dare to make any noise outside the door of Prince Jin's palace, let alone forcefully break in. He had to rush to find Ling Xiu to find a solution.
After listening to his brother's words, Lingxiu frowned, "Are you sure someone from Prince Jin's Palace invited my mother and sister?"
Lingqi said anxiously: "I'm sure, I was at home at that time. People from Prince Jin's Palace said they were here to invite my mother and sister to have tea, and they sent a carriage to pick them up. That carriage is the carriage from Prince Jin's Palace, I recognize it."
Lingxiu said: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll go there."
"I go with you."
Ling Xiu stopped him, "No, I can just go by myself, lest Prince Jin's Mansion thinks we are going to cause trouble. We don't know what's going on yet."
Ling Qi felt that what he said made sense. After all, we still didn't know what the situation was. It would not look good if we just left the dinner and the two brothers went looking for it together.
"Well, you go and ask first. I'll wait for news at home."
Ling Xiu rode his horse straight to Prince Jin's Mansion. All this was naturally expected and had been waiting for him.
The Crown Princess also said something, hoping that King Jin would not make people wait too long, otherwise, the hypnosis will expire and the original shape will be restored.
When they arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, the concierge changed his attitude towards Ling Qi and immediately greeted him.
Ling Xiu had a cold face as usual, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "Have my mother and sister been to Prince Jin's Mansion today?"
"I've been here, and I'm still in there." The concierge said with a sorry smile, "Young Master Ling also came here today, but I just took over my shift at that time and didn't know that my wife and the girl were here, so I said no to the First Master. I know that after the eldest son left, the little man went in and asked about it before he found out, I really can’t help it.”
"In that case, please lead the way."
"Chief Guardsman Ling, please come in." After the concierge greeted him respectfully, he led the way.
Someone in the mansion had already reported it to King Jin, who asked Ling Xiu to be invited to the study first, and he was not in a hurry to let him see Mrs. Ling and Ling Jiu'er.
Moreover, he specifically asked Lingxiu to wait in the study for a while. When Lingxiu became impatient and wanted to go out and look for it, he turned around and came in.
Ling Xiuben had already walked to the door. When he saw him coming in, he subconsciously took a step back and narrowed his eyes, appearing alert and cautious. "Your Majesty, are my mother and sister in the palace?"
Like a smiling tiger, King Jin walked in with his hands behind his back, "Yes, the concubine heard that your mother is good at embroidery, but the king ordered someone to rush to make some mistakes in the embroidery birthday gift for the Queen Mother, so I specially asked your mother to come over and give me some advice. You wouldn’t mind teaching me, would you?”
"Is it really just for the embroidery?" Ling Xiu looked indifferent, as if he didn't believe it.
