Luoyang Brocade Chapter 84: King Yan (3)
Your Highness King Yan, we met on the third floor of Dingxiang Building a few months ago. Have you completely forgotten about it?
Ling Jingyan exhausted all her self-control and finally swallowed these words, thanked her in a low voice, then stood up and walked behind Ms. Jiang.
Finally, I didn’t make a fool of myself.
Chiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's all our fault today for disturbing His Highness King Yan's interest in dining. We will leave first. If there was anything wrong with what we said just now, Please, Your Highness, please don’t take it to heart.”
Chiang's attitude was so humble that King Yan could no longer hold on to what had just happened.
What's more, he actually didn't feel much offended.
As the youngest prince of the Zhou Dynasty, he has been superior to others since he was born. People around him were obedient to him, and his father, emperor and mother even held him in their hands and doted on him. As a result, he developed a willful and reckless temperament.
The girls who saw him were either attracted by his distinguished status, or by his extremely handsome appearance, or by his arrogant and wanton demeanor.
He has long been used to seeing the admiration in the eyes of girls. It was almost unprecedented for Ling Jingshu to be so unmoved and indifferent, which gave him a sense of novelty and freshness that was ready to move.
Of course, he is a high-ranking prince, and he always has to be proud of his status. He cannot and does not bother to do things like bullying men and dominating women.
When Jiang wanted to resign, King Yan did not stop him. He just responded casually: "That's all, it's not a big deal. Let's forget about today's matter."
The shopkeeper and Eunuch Xi who were kneeling on the ground were almost crying.
The shopkeeper is lucky to have escaped.
His father-in-law was frightened that a disaster was imminent.
......
King Yan was still standing at the door, and the shopkeeper and Eunuch Xi were kneeling again, blocking the door tightly.
If you want to get out, you have to ask King Yan to get out of the way...
Who has the guts to say that?
While Mrs. Jiang was hesitating, she heard Ling Jingshu open her mouth and say: "Your Highness, Prince Yan, please go to the private room first."
Yeah. Just let King Yan come in first. Jiang finally came to his senses as if enlightened, and immediately led everyone to stand aside.
Obviously, King Yan didn't understand the meaning of refusing to be polite. After stepping into the private room, he sat down with a calm expression.
Eunuch Xi, who was originally kneeling at the door, changed from his previous majestic appearance and stood up timidly. Came in humbly. He opened his mouth tremblingly: "This slave made a mistake, please punish me."
The King of Yan looked at Eunuch Xi impatiently: "Okay, we will punish you when we return home. Let the shopkeeper get up first and order people to serve the dishes."
I have escaped this disaster today!
The shopkeeper burst into tears of gratitude, thanked her hurriedly, and then stood up numbly.
The door became empty, and Jiang immediately took the lead and walked out. Walk out of the private room. After the door behind her was closed, the tight strings in Jiang's mind relaxed slightly.
Ling Jingshu asked in a low voice: "Cousin-in-law. Where should we go next?"
It’s noon and you can’t go back without eating.
Changing to another restaurant would be time-consuming and troublesome, and I really don’t have the interest anymore.
Jiang frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the waiter who had greeted the guests hurried over and said with an apologetic expression: "I didn't expect that something like this would happen today. I'm really sorry for all the guests. It happened that the guests in the private room on the second floor left. , has been tidied up properly. Please move over. The shopkeeper said that all the previous money will be returned. This lunch is considered a treat for us at Dingxiang Tower, and it can also be regarded as an apology to all the guests."
Ms. Jiang looked at Ling Jingshu: "Ashu, what do you think?"
Ling Jingshu's calmness and composure when encountering problems is really impressive. Jiang couldn't make up his mind, so he naturally asked Ling Jingshu for her opinion.
"Since the shopkeeper is sincere, we accepted this kindness." Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: "It's getting late. We can go back earlier if we finish the meal earlier."
Alright.
Ms. Jiang nodded and said to the guy: "Lead the way."
......
The waiter led the group to the private room on the second floor.
Although the private rooms here are not as high as the third floor, they are still clean and spacious.
Everyone had their own thoughts and took their seats in silence. Four cold dishes, six hot dishes and eight main dishes were presented quickly. A full table was laid out.
The dishes are not that rare, but they taste surprisingly good.
There is also Dingxianglou’s special fruit wine, which has a low alcohol content, a slightly sweet taste and a fragrant aroma.
This would have been a delicious and enjoyable lunch if it weren't for the previous scene that made everyone feel depressed. Now, no matter how delicious the food and wine are, no one is in the mood to savor them carefully.
Especially Ling Jingyan, like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted and without any energy. Counting the rice grains in the bowl, I reluctantly took a few bites and put down my chopsticks without touching a single bite of the dishes.
Ms. Jiang glanced at Ling Jingyan, put down her chopsticks, and said calmly: "Ayan, tell me honestly, today you specifically wanted to go to Dingxiang Tower and insisted on going to Tingzhuxuan, is it because of Yan? King?"
Ling Jingyan bit her lip hard and remained silent, but her eye circles were quietly red.
"Fortunately, King Yan was not angry today. Otherwise, you would have caused trouble for the Ling family today."
Ms. Jiang's expression did not change, but her tone became a little more serious, with a hint of rebuke: "After all, you are still a girl who has not yet left the court, even if... you have to be more reserved. If what happens today is so... If my mother-in-law finds out, she will be scolded and will never go out again."
Ling Jingyan panicked and raised her head without thinking: "Sister-in-law, I beg you, please don't tell mother what happened today. Otherwise, she will have to scold me."
Getting scolded is a small thing.
The most fearful thing is that, as Jiang said, he will be strictly banned from home by Sun and will never be able to go out easily again.
Ling Jingyan begged with a pitiful look on her face: "Sister-in-law~IndoMTL.com~ I will never dare to do this again. Can you keep what happened today a secret?"
Chiang was just trying to scare Ling Jingyan. Seeing that she had given in, he sighed and said, "That's it, I'll keep it a secret for you for once. I won't do it again!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ling Jingyan thanked her with a grateful face.
From beginning to end, he didn’t even look at Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu's face remained calm, but she sighed secretly in her heart.
Ling Jingyan obviously has a grudge against her because of what happened just now...
The friendship between girls seems to be strong, but in fact it is very fragile. Even the smallest things can cause unpleasantness. What's more, among Ling Jingyan's many advantages, magnanimity is by no means included.
The boy I admired couldn't remember seeing him before, and he didn't even look at me, but his attention was attracted by another girl. Such a "serious" thing could turn two girls against each other! (To be continued.)
