Chapter 316 Haggard
Thinking of last night, Shen Ling's face turned red and his neck became thick.
Well, after Chu Yang climbed over the wall and left the Jingbei Palace yesterday, he prepared to climb over the city wall and leave Beijing, rushing to Jizhou under the stars.
He couldn't arrive later than Young Master Du.
The Left Prime Minister is not a good person. Xie Jingyu recommended him, and the emperor gave him such an important task. He must not let the emperor down and affect Xie Jingyu's future recommendations.
But he hurried back to Beijing as fast as he could, thinking that he might not be able to come back for two or three months if he went to Jizhou, so he wanted to go see Chen Ling.
People like Xie Jingyu are action-oriented. They will do it as soon as they think of it. It is not difficult for them to climb over the wall.
It was easy to climb over the wall, but it took some effort to find the courtyard where Chen Ling lived.
By the time he found Shen Ling's boudoir, it was already dark.
At that time, Shen Ling had just finished taking a bath and the maid was helping her put on clothes. Suddenly, there was a knock on the window, which scared Shen Ling and the maid.
"Who is it?" Shen Ling's voice trembled.
"It's me."
The voice sounds familiar.
It sounded like the prince of Linjiang Marquis, but Shen Ling didn't dare to think it was him. She knew Chu Yang went to Jizhou.
"I have something to say to you."
Chen Ling dressed hurriedly. She thought someone would be waiting for her outside the window, and the person knocking on the window should not be a lecher. Then the window was pushed open and someone came in.
At that time, Shen Ling was wearing a bellyband.
Their eyes met.
"ah!"
Shen Ling screamed in fear.
Chu Yang was also dumbfounded, fearing that Shen Ling would attract people, he quickly covered her mouth, his face flushed and his neck thick, "Don't scream, don't scream, it's me..."
No one can do it.
Especially since he should be on his way to Jizhou, how could he be in Kyoto and come to her boudoir?
The maid was even more at a loss, and hurriedly took clothes to help Shen Ling put them on.
Chu Yang turned his back and the maid helped Chen Ling put on her skirt. A maid outside asked what was wrong and the maid hurried out.
As Shen Ling's personal maid, she naturally knew that Shen Ling liked the Prince of Linjiang Marquis, but no matter how much he liked her, he could not break into her girl's boudoir. If the Prince of Linjiang Marquis dared not to be responsible for her girl, she would tell the general's wife to break his legs.
The maid went out to guard the door, and Shen Ling's face flushed, "You, what do you want to tell me?"
The sound was like a sieve.
Chu Yang didn't dare to look back. "I, I just came to ask you, is what the Princess of Jingbei said true..."
"What?"
"You like me."
Shen Ling, “……!!!”
How could the Princess of Jingbei tell Chu Yang about this?!
Shen Ling was almost crying with shame.
Shen Ling pushed Chu Yang away, "Go, go quickly."
Chu Yang said, "I'll leave as soon as I finish speaking."
Shen Ling stamped her feet in shame.
Chu Yang said, "I will marry you."
Shen Ling stared at Chu Yang in a daze. Chu Yang said, "I came back just for this matter. You wait for me to come back and you are not allowed to marry anyone else."
Shen Ling didn't expect that Chu Yang rushed back to Beijing for her and said he wanted to marry her. Her nose was sore.
Chu Yang said, "Don't cry, I'm leaving now."
He jumped out the window and left.
But not long after he left, he came back.
You're about to marry her, so a kiss isn't too much, right?
It's just that he had never kissed a girl in his life, and he was too nervous at the moment, so he touched the wrong jade pendant in his arms. "This is the jade pendant passed down from my Linjiang Marquis Mansion. If you accept it, it means you agree."
Without giving Shen Ling a chance to refuse, he stuffed it into Shen Ling's hand and turned away.
As a result, it hit the window with a bang.
This time Chu Yang did not come back. After he walked away, Shen Ling looked down.
Good job.
In his hand was the token that said "As if I were here in person".
Shen Ling wanted to call Chu Yang back, but she didn't dare to shout loudly. When she chased out with a lantern, Chu Yang was nowhere to be seen at the Shen family.
She thought Chu Yang would come back to get the token, but after waiting for a whole night, Chu Yang still didn't come back.
But how could such a token be the ancestral jade pendant of Linjiang Marquis Mansion? It must have been taken by mistake. Shen Ling was worried and could only come to ask Shen Wan.
It was even more unusual that Shen Wan didn't even tell Chu Yang what errand he was going to Jizhou for.
She didn't trust anyone with such an important item. More importantly, if Chu Yang lost the token and the emperor knew about it, he would be beaten with at least thirty or forty sticks...
While Shen Ling was thinking about how to deliver the token to Chu Yang, the princess arrived at the Shen residence and Madam Shen came out to greet her with a smile on her face.
Whenever Mrs. Shen was in Kyoto, she would often come to the Jingbei Palace to chat with the princess and relieve her boredom. The princess would also often visit the Shen family. Mrs. Shen never thought that the princess was here to help someone propose marriage.
The two talked for a while before the princess said, "I'm here to help someone propose marriage..."
Madam Shen, “…???”
Madam Shen asked, "Who can ask you to help propose marriage?"
The princess was about to speak when a maid came in and said, "Madam, the wife of the Marquis of Linjiang is here."
Mrs. Shen was strangely nervous.
In the early years, the Shen Mansion and the Linjiang Marquis Mansion were next to each other, and she often visited the Linjiang Marquis's wife, but since she moved, she almost stopped visiting. Why did she suddenly come to visit?
Madam Shen looked at the princess and said, "Please sit for a while. I will go and greet the wife of the Marquis of Linjiang."
Madam Shen went to greet the wife of Marquis Linjiang, and soon the wife of Marquis Linjiang came in.
Xie Jingyu and Chu Yang are close, and the princess also has a good relationship with the wife of the Marquis of Linjiang.
The wife of Marquis Linjiang looked a little haggard, and Madam Shen asked, "Madam Linjiang came to my Shen family, is there something wrong?"
It's okay, you wouldn't look so haggard and come to visit.
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang said, "I'm here to ask for Yang'er to marry the daughter of the family..."
Madam Shen looked at the wife of the Marquis of Linjiang, and then at the princess, "What day is it today? Why are you all here to propose marriage?"
The wife of Marquis Linjiang did not expect that the princess was also here to help propose a marriage. The person who could get the help of Princess Jingbei to propose a marriage was definitely not an ordinary person. In addition, her son had done some bad things in his early years, and she came to the door with a flattering face. The wife of Marquis Linjiang did not even have the courage to speak, and was ready to leave.
The princess laughed and asked, "Why did you leave?"
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang said, "A person shouldn't be so ignorant of himself. My bastard son..."
The princess laughed, "I'm also here to help you propose marriage to the Marquis of Linjiang."
Lady Linjianghou, "......???"
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang sat back down, and the princess said, "Early in the morning, Yu'er came to me and asked me to help the prince propose marriage, so I came here."
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang said, "How could I have given birth to such a bastard son? Isn't this causing trouble for Princess Jingbei?"
The princess smiled and said, "Yu'er and the prince are not blood brothers, but they are better than brothers. I also think he and Ling'er are a good match. I hope they can get married."
"It's only been a few days since I last saw you. Why do you look so haggard?"
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang said, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep a wink last night..."
Last night, the wife of Marquis Linjiang was almost frightened to death.
Um.
Chu Yang left the Shen Mansion, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. How could his father lie to him and lie to him for so many years?
Chu Yang, who was so angry that he couldn't stop, climbed over the wall and returned to Linjiang Marquis Mansion to knock on the window of his own parents.
At that time, Marquis Linjiang and his wife had already gone to bed.
Marquis Linjiang thought something had happened, and the secret guards rushed to report to him.
"Come in."
After getting permission, Chu Yang jumped in through the window.
He bumped into Shen Ling's room hard, leaving a red mark on his forehead. As soon as he entered the room, Marquis Linjiang felt terrified, and his wife was even more frightened.
Their son, who had left Beijing a few days ago, came back late at night with wounds on his face. Lady Linjiang Hou thought her son was dead and his soul had come back to see them.
