Luoyang Brocade Chapter 125: Invitation

Uncle Ling wrote a letter to the family overnight, and the next day, Mrs. Sun ordered her servant to send the letter back to Dingzhou.

After the servant who delivered the letter left, Mrs. Sun suddenly remembered something important. After Ling Jingshu and her brother arrived in the capital, it seemed as if they had never written a letter home at all?

That's not all!

In her daily conversations, Ling Jingshu did not show any trace of missing her family...

Is Ling Jingshu cold-hearted by nature, or is there something hidden behind it?

When Ling Jingshu's sister and brother came to pay their respects, Mrs. Sun pretended to be casual and asked: "Ah Shu, Ah Xiao, you have been away from home for more than a month in the capital. Have you ever written a letter home?"

From the day she left Dingzhou, she never planned to go back. To her, her family members who were far away in Dingzhou were just a group of people with vague faces.

How can she still be in the mood to write a letter home?

Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips and responded calmly: "I have been busy with A Xiao's treatment these days, and I forgot to write a letter home for a while."

No matter how dull Mr. Sun was, he could tell that something was wrong. His eyes turned around on Ling Jingshu's pretty face, full of inquiry: "Is it really just because I was busy that I forgot?"

Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed slightly and she asked with a smile: "Why did eldest aunt suddenly ask about this? Could it be that eldest uncle just wrote a letter home, so eldest aunt thought of asking me by the way?"

Sun: "..."

This girl simply has Qiqiao Exquisite Heart. Terribly shrewd and sharp!

Ms. Sun cleared her throat and said, "Yes, you were right. Your uncle sent someone to write a letter home last night, and I just sent someone back to Dingzhou this morning."

Ling Jingshu said with a faint smile, and asked casually: "My eldest uncle suddenly wrote a letter home. Is there anything important?"

Ms. Sun coughed and responded a little unnaturally: "It's nothing particularly important. I just want to report that I'm safe. And tell them that A Xiao asked the Imperial Physician Wei for treatment. This will also prevent them from worrying about it. The state is worried."

I’m afraid it’s not just these!

Given the temperament of Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun, I am afraid that they have already set their sights on the Prince's Mansion and have dreamed of becoming relatives of the emperor.

Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but did not say anything to expose Mrs. Sun. She followed Sun's words and smiled and said: "Auntie is still interested. We siblings have thanked auntie."

After all, Mrs. Sun had a guilty conscience and was not so thick-skinned as to remain calm. Force a smile. He quickly changed the topic: "Axiao has been treated with acupuncture by Dr. Wei twice. He drinks decoction and applies ointment every day. Do you feel better now?"

Ling Xiao replied obediently: "My head occasionally stings. My eyes feel hot and itchy."

"It's always a good thing to have feelings." Sun smiled and comforted Ling Xiao: "You have been blind for nearly six years. It will take some time to cure your eyes, not just a few days."

While he was talking, the concierge walked in quickly. She reported with a somewhat strange expression: "Mrs. Qi, the chamberlain from Princess Changping's residence is here."

The Ling family has no contact with Princess Changping's mansion. Why did Princess Changping suddenly send someone here?

Sun was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered the day she met Princess Changping at the Prince's Mansion. At that time, Princess Changping casually asked Ling Jingshu to attend the lotus appreciation banquet at the princess's residence. Could it be that the steward just sent the invitation?

No matter what your intention is, you must not neglect it.

Sun immediately ordered: "Please hurry up and ask the steward to come in."

……

Princess Changping is the most beloved princess of the Holy Emperor today. No matter where you go, there is no shortage of people to please you. The servants in the princess's house naturally have a superior arrogance.

This chamberlain is about seventeen or eighteen years old and quite handsome. It's just that her appearance is a bit feminine and her voice is a bit shrill. After entering the inner hall. He didn't even look at Sun and others: "Our family is from the princess's house, so you can just call me Eunuch Lu."

Even though Mrs. Sun felt uncomfortable, she did not show any signs of it. She smiled and greeted him: "It turns out that Eunuch Lu is here. Please sit down and talk. Come and serve tea!"

As a female official, there is absolutely no reason to salute a servant. Sun was just vague.

Eunuch Lu was not polite and took the top position in a swaggering manner.

Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan looked at each other, both seeing the contempt in each other's eyes.

What kind of master there is, there is also what kind of slave.

This sentence is absolutely true.

After Eunuch Lu finished half a cup of tea, he slowly explained his purpose: "We are here today to deliver invitations to the Lotus Appreciation Banquet on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

After speaking, he took out a dazzling golden invitation from his arms.

... and King Yan are indeed biological siblings, even ordinary invitations are made of gold wire.

Mrs. Sun smiled hurriedly, took the invitation with both hands, and responded continuously: "Your Highness, Princess, you are interested. Thank you Eunuch Lu for coming so far to send the invitation. There is a little care here, which is not respectful. I hope Eunuch Lu will do it." Accept it."

As he spoke, he stuffed a purse into it.

Most castrated eunuchs love money.

This Eunuch Lu is no exception.

Pinching the purse, there were several fluttering papers inside. Apparently a banknote was placed.

Eunuch Lu finally had a satisfied smile on his face, and his tone was a little gentler: "Those who are qualified to receive invitations are all the rich ladies of the Duke's mansion. All the ladies of the Ling family are honored to attend the banquet this time , it can be regarded as a blessing that came from the previous life."

Although the words are harsh, they are also true.

Daughters of mere fourth-rank officials are usually not eligible to attend banquets at the princess's house.

After Mrs. Sun sent Eunuch Lu away with great gratitude, she immediately said to Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu with excitement: "A-Yan, A-Shu, this banquet at the Princess Mansion is a great opportunity for you. A good opportunity. You can take this opportunity to get to know some famous ladies. It would be even better if you can get to know one or two princesses or something."

Ling Jingyan pursed her lips: "If they are all like Princess Fumin ~IndoMTL.com~ it would be fine if we didn't get to know each other."

Ever since she heard about Princess Fumin’s “evil deeds”, in Ling Jingyan’s heart, Princess Fumin undoubtedly ranked first.

Thinking of Princess Fumin, Ling Jingyan couldn't help but feel a little worried. She turned to look at Ling Jingshu: "Ah Shu, you and Princess Fumin have had a close relationship. What if we meet her on the day of the banquet?"

Princess Fumin and Princess Changping are cousins, and they often interact with each other on weekdays. Princess Fumin will most likely go to this lotus appreciation banquet.

Ling Jingshu had expected this and responded calmly: "It's okay if she encounters her. If she takes the initiative to provoke, I will just ignore it."

She wants to establish a relationship with Princess Changping in the shortest possible time. In the future, there will be frequent contacts and encounters with the unruly and willful Princess Fumin. Blindly avoiding it is not the answer.
