Chapter 83: The King of Yan (2)

  Love is going to the little one, what did you say?

  Ling Jingxu was slightly stunned and did not respond, but instead quickly looked at Ling Jingyan.

  Ling Jingyan's face flushed again. However, this time it was not because of shyness and joy, but disappointment and anger.

  Ever since she met the King of Yan at Dingxiang Building a few months ago, his figure has been deeply imprinted in her heart. She can't help but think of him day and night, and she tries every means to see him again...

  Never thought it would be like this after meeting!

  He didn't give her another glance and had no concern for her at all.

  He can't even remember ever seeing her!

  Ling Jingyan bit her lip hard, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes, filled with grievances and sadness.

  The eunuch saw Ling Jingyu's indifference and immediately became furious, his voice shrill with anger: "How dare you! Prince Yan asked a question, and you didn't even respond! Are you tired of living?"

  As soon as the words fell, Ling Jingyu's gaze turned over and asked faintly: "Who are you?"

  Xi Gonggong was asked and replied subconsciously: "Our family is the inner attendant Xi Gonggong beside Yan Wang."

  After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he had been suppressed by a girl's momentum, and his face was ashamed. He glared back angrily: "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the King of Yan!"

  Unfortunately, Xi Gonggong was still kneeling in front of the King of Yan, twisting his body to speak, not only did he have no intimidating aura, but instead looked comical and laughable.

  Ling Jingyu indeed raised the corner of her mouth, and a sarcastic smile floated in her eyes: "So it's the Joyous Imperial Tutor. The Joyous Imperial Tutor repeatedly says that we are being presumptuous, and also says that I am living an unbearable life, could it be that you want to punish me now? Dare I ask if this is the intention of the King of Yan or the meaning of the Joyous Imperial Tutor?"

  "......"

  Sharp tongue!

  Without waiting for the eunuch to argue, Ling Jingyu continued in a calm and collected tone: "We were taken aback by your sudden appearance and didn't react quickly enough. The King of Yan is magnanimous and hasn't held it against us. But you, this wicked slave, are taking advantage of your position to bully others. It's truly detestable! With a servant like you by his side, who knows how much trouble you've brought upon the King of Yan, and how many bad rumors have been spread about him being arrogant and overbearing? I really don't know what face you have left to remain in the King of Yan's service!"

  Every word is a stab in the heart!

  The eunuch was furious and attacked with his heart. His face turned bright red, he trembled all over with anger, but he didn't dare to open his mouth again to scold. Suppressing the humiliated anger, he knocked his head repeatedly and cried: "Your Highness, I am loyal to you with a clear conscience, day and night can be witnessed. This wild girl from who-knows-where is slandering me word by word, sentence by sentence, I'm innocent..."

  The King of Yan was completely uninterested in his enthusiasm.

  His gaze fell on Ling Jingxian, whose expression was calm and indifferent. The slightly narrow eyes sparkled with interest: "Who are you?"

  ......

  The questions from Xi Gonggong can be ignored, but those from Yan Wang cannot be ignored.

  Ling Jingyi composed herself. She slightly bowed her head and saluted: "In response to Your Highness's words, this humble woman is surnamed Ling, ninth in line at home."

  The maiden name is naturally inconvenient to say.

  The King of Yan bluntly asked: "What is your maiden name?"

  Ling Jingyu calmly replied, "A woman's maiden name is only known to her family members, it's not convenient to tell outsiders. As the King of Yan is well-read and knowledgeable about etiquette, I suppose he wouldn't force someone into a difficult situation."

  What a clever and sharp-tongued little girl!

  The eunuch kneeling in front of the King of Yan sneered secretly in his heart. He had been serving the King of Yan for two years and was very familiar with the king's temper.

  King Yan is used to being the only one in power, and can't tolerate anyone going against his wishes. This Ling Jiu Miss's response is simply asking for death. Just wait for King Yan to explode in anger!

  The expected situation did not occur!

  The King of Yan did not get angry, instead he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What you said makes sense, I was indeed too hasty in choosing a good person."

  He was originally born extremely handsome, and with this display of his face, the narrow and long eye sockets suddenly flashed out a bewildering light, as if peach blossoms had bloomed.

  It was this smile that made Ling Jingyan fall in love at first sight and become infatuated.

  But his eyes only saw Ling Jingxu and didn't notice her at all.

  Ling Jingyan's tears were swirling in her eye sockets, if not for the last bit of stubbornness and pride holding her up, she would probably burst into tears on the spot.

  The Jiang family was shocked and their minds were already in a mess at this time.

  But for now, let's just get through what's in front of us first. The rest... can be settled later with Ling Jingyan at a more leisurely pace.

  "Jiang Shi bowed respectfully. Taking two steps forward, she made a polite curtsy: 'I am Jiang Shi, at your service, Your Highness Prince Yan. My husband's name is Ling Xi, and he is currently a student at the Imperial Academy of Learning. His Excellency holds the position of Deputy Director in the Ministry of Works.'"

  The origin and history of the identity are clear.

  The King of Yan also took charge of some errands every day and attended court meetings to listen to government affairs. However, the people he usually came into contact with were all high-ranking officials from the six ministries. A humble fourth-rank official like the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works would naturally not be taken seriously by him.

  At this point, when Jiang said so, the only thing that flashed through Yan Wang's mind was a very vague face of a middle-aged man: "Is it Ling Zhongyuan, Ling Langzhong?"

  Chiang nodded respectfully in agreement.

  Mr. Jiang's appearance shifted the king of Yan's attention, and it was no longer convenient for him to stare at Ling Jingxu: "You're surnamed Jiang, aren't you a descendant of the British royal family?"

  "Yes, my father's name is Hao and he works in the Ministry of Rites. I address him as Uncle Gong. This is Ling family's fifth house's cousin, who was just speaking with Your Highness, and standing next to her is her twin brother, Ling Xiao."

  "This is my younger sister-in-law, the youngest daughter of the main house of the Ling family. She ranks eighth in the household."

  Chong Ling Jingyan gave a hint with her eyes: "A Yan, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come to pay respects to Prince Yan."

  There was both reminder and warning in his eyes.

  The young man in front of him is no ordinary person, and offending the Ling family would be utterly unwise.

  Jiang's temperament has always been gentle and warm, this kind of serious and almost severe gaze is rarely seen.

  Ling Jingyan's whole body suddenly shook, and she finally came to her senses. She bit her lip and walked forward to pay her respects: "I am Ling Jingyan, at your service, Your Highness Prince Yan."

  Ling Jingxu: "......"

  Is there a woman who is so generous and says her own name? Ling Jingyan was really infatuated by the King of Yan, even the reserve of a boudoir girl was thrown to the back of her mind.

  The King of Yan glanced at Ling Jingyan and said, "No need for formalities."

  Compared to Ling Jingxian, Ling Jingyan is also a lovely beauty. But with the presence of a pearl by her side, that carefully made-up face becomes blurry again.

  The King of Yan still didn't recall that they had met before.
