Chapter 243 Ridiculous Request
The weather is fine today.
Early in the morning, Ling Ning took her maid to a temple in the suburbs to burn incense and pray for her grandfather, father, and brothers.
As the legitimate daughter of a family of military generals, Ling Ning has always believed too much in fate. However, her grandfather, father, and elder brother were on the battlefield, so she still prayed piously for their safety every year.
After getting off the carriage, Ling Ning had just stepped through the gate when she saw her aunt Wu 꿻 coming, surrounded by her maids.
After a pause on her feet, Ling Ning saluted smoothly: "Auntie."
"Ling Ning, have you just come back?" Wu 꿻 saw Ling Ning, and a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Auntie just has something to discuss with you."
Ling Ning's expression changed: "Auntie, please tell me if you have something to say."
"It's about your eldest sister's marriage." Wu Jin and Ling Ning walked towards the inner courtyard together, looking at Ling Ning with a smile as they walked, "Shuang'er is ten years old this year, but she has never had a suitable marriage. What I mean is Yes, can you give Prince Jing's marriage to Shuang'er? I will order a better one for you in the future..."
"Better?" Ling Ning raised her eyebrows with a playful expression, "Who does Auntie think is a better husband than Prince Jing?"
Wu 꿻 felt embarrassed for a moment, then sneered: "There are still a few princes in the palace who have not yet gotten married."
Ling Ning said calmly: "If the princes are not married, what does it have to do with me? Are they all willing to marry me, or am I definitely willing to marry them?"
The eldest prince has already been married and is playing music with the princess.
The idle king was deposed, and the princess of 놛 was demoted from the main concubine to the side concubine, which indeed vacated the position of the main concubine.
King Yu had previously revealed the idea of marrying her, but Ling Ning thought of the hypocrisy that could not be ignored under King Yu's smile, and felt that the man was a jackal.
The fifth prince is a sick man.
뀖The prince is King Jing, and he and she are in love.
Ninth Prince Mu Ting is more suitable.
In front of several princes, who should be chosen still needs to be considered?
"Ling Ning, why are you talking to me like this?" Wu 꿻 was a little too happy, "I am your elder——"
"My marriage should be decided by my grandmother and I. The eldest aunt has exceeded her authority." Ling Ning said lightly, "I haven't decided whether to agree to this marriage. Even if the eldest aunt has this intention, I should ask Jing Jing. I decide whether the king is willing to marry the eldest sister."
Wu 꿻 said in a matter-of-fact tone: "As long as you make it clear to King Jing, 놛 will probably agree." m.
Ling Ning paused slightly and looked at Wu 꿻's face. The temperature in her eyes dropped to freezing point little by little: "But why should I do this?"
Wu 꿻's expression froze.
"Pushing my own marriage away to a ten-year-old concubine who has not yet left the court? Does your eldest aunt think this request is too much?"
Wu 꿻's expression darkened: "Ling Ning——"
"Whether it's for me or for King Jing, it's all too much." Ling Ning doesn't like to be conceited and submissive with others, and her words are more in line with the style of a military commander. "After all, King Jing is a noble prince. How can he be willing to marry a concubine?" ?”
Wu 꿻 frowned: "Although Shuang'er is a concubine, she is in my name. What's the difference between her and a legitimate daughter?"
Ling Ning did not answer her question: "When King Jing sent someone to propose marriage, he clearly said 'Ling Ning, the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Ling family'. The eldest aunt insisted on pushing her daughter out. She felt that she was so eager to get married. Is the person’s behavior too low?”
Wu 꿻's expression darkened and he looked at Ling Ning kindly.
Ling Ning smiled coldly: "If aunt feels that her behavior is appropriate, she can go to discuss it with grandma. Why come to me to ask for help?"
"Ling Ning, I'm just discussing with you, what's your attitude?" Wu Yue said, "Even if you are the legitimate daughter of the second wife, you should still treat your elders like this. There are no rules at all!"
"If aunt knew the rules, she would make such a ridiculous request." Ling Ning said, turning and walking towards her yard, "I have something to do and can't chat with aunt any more, so I'll take my leave first."
Wu 꿻 stood far away, watching her leave, his face livid with anger.
What a person who knows the heights of heaven and earth!
"Girl." Ayun, the personal maid, spoke in a low voice behind Ling Ning, "The eldest lady is used to being domineering. If you talk to her like this today, will she hold a grudge?"
Ling Ning returned to her Ningshuang Courtyard. The maid cleaned her face and hands, changed into loose clothes, and reclined on the soft couch in front of the screen.
Then he said indifferently: "If I cut off her hope once, she will only pester her every day, and I will be too lazy to deal with her."
The maid Ah Wan served hot tea and nodded: "The girl is right, but the eldest lady is a person who gives up easily. Does the girl have any countermeasures?"
What to do?
Ling Ning held the tea cup with an expressionless face, and was thinking about how to solve this matter completely, when she heard the maid outside report: "Girl, the eldest girl is here."
Ling Ning frowned and looked up.
Ayun muttered: "The big girl came very quickly. Did she fly here after practicing light flying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in light blue clothes walked slowly across the threshold. She had a slender figure, a delicate face, and a well-placed smile on her lips.
It was Ling Shuang, the eldest daughter of the Ling family.
"Sister A Ning." Ling Shuang walked like lotus, with a frail figure and a somewhat pitiful charm on his face, "I heard that my mother found you just now, and I felt guilty, so I came here to talk to you. "
Ling Ning maintained her reclining posture and smiled faintly: "Eldest sister also thinks that auntie's request is too much?"
Ling Shuang's expression froze, and then she frowned softly: "As a daughter, I dare not criticize my mother. After all, she is my elder."
"Yeah." Ling Ning nodded, "So you think her request is too much, but you are easy to criticize. I understand what you mean."
Ling Shuang's smile froze: "..."
Ling Ning raised her hand: "Sit down."
Ling Shuang took a breath and quickly recovered her smile: "Thank you, sister Ning."
The maid brought her a pearwood stool and placed it in front of Ling Ning.
Compared to Ling Ning's casual and leisurely sitting posture, Ling Shuang, who sat upright and deliberately put on an elegant and weak posture, seemed much more restrained.
The maid poured her a cup of tea, and Ling Shuang thanked her politely.
She always looks like this in the Ling family, looking weak and kind, and polite, which makes people feel particularly good.
However, women in the deep courtyards are the best at disguising. Whether they are really kind or hypocritical, you can tell in one or two days, and you will naturally be able to tell them after a long time.
"The reason why my mother came to find my sister An Ning is actually because I am old, and my mother is worried that I will not be able to meet a good marriage in the future, so..." Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "My mother worries about my marriage all day long. I feel bad about it, and I can't stop my mother's love for her daughter. I hope my sister won't worry too much."
