Liang He seemed to know that he couldn’t refuse, so he nodded and wanted to follow him. The servant girl stopped him and said, “Your Highness, Consort De didn’t announce you to go.”
Then he pointed at Ling Zhang. Before he could speak, Yan Ling nodded at him, “Don’t worry, I can be alone.”
After she said this, she followed the servant girl towards the resting area of Consort De.
Because it was the princess of Zhaoyan’s marriage this time, Consort De also came to the residence.
Through the crowd, everyone looked at Yan Ling curiously, as if they had never seen him before. Their naked gaze did not make Yan Ling feel uncomfortable. Yan Ling seemed to have gotten used to it. These people always looked her up and down without any scruples.
The servant girl’s movements were very gentle and her expression was perfect. She could tell that this was a personal servant made by the Empress Dowager. She wasn’t very old, so it was already a broaden one’s horizon.
The servant girl brought her to the resting place of Consort De.
The moment she saw that Ling had arrived, her eyes lit up and she stood up to look at Yan Ling.
The Empress Dowager wore a crimson outfit today and she looked quite imposing. She was still as domineering as before, as if she could change the country with a wave of her hand.
She pointed at the seat in front of her and said, “Since you’re here, please sit.”
Yan Ling first bowed respectfully to the lady of Consort De, then he said to her, “Is there something I want to say to her?”
Back then, when Madam Yan and Mrs. De were close to each other, she didn’t take much care of her. Now that Madam Yan and Mrs. De’s relationship was broken, she never thought about the Yan family.
And so, she didn’t sit down. Consort De seemed to be able to tell that Ling Zhang didn’t want to give her face. Unlike her usual arrogance, Consort De was unusually gentle and respectful today.
Her sudden gentleness made people feel frightening, especially someone who was usually so arrogant and domineering, who didn’t care about anything at all. Today, she was actually gentle enough to make people tremble.
When Mrs. De saw her expressionless face, she didn’t bother with her and said to her, “I’m sure you know that I have something to discuss with you. Since your time is precious and your brain is smart, I won’t circle around you today. Yesterday, your father came to the palace to beg Emperor Yan to marry my son. What do you think about this?”
Who would have thought that Yan Shen’s actions would be so sharp. He had already gone over early to plead for mercy in front of the Emperor. If that was the case, why would he find her?
Consort De had always been full of confidence in her son. She had even decided on the marriage between Liang He and Snow Ying.
Yan Ling was not Liang Yi’s wife, so there was no reason for her to ask her about this kind of thing. However, since Consort De had already said this, it wouldn’t be reasonable if she didn’t give her an explanation. After thinking about it, she said to Consort De, “If this is the case, it is natural for her to take advantage of her mother’s love for her. It has already been a long time since my sister likes her in No one was forcing her. With such a simple logic, I don’t know why Mrs. De asked the girl.
Her every word was neither fast nor slow, as if it was a topic that had nothing to do with the be of little. Indeed, the knife wasn’t stabbed in her body and she didn’t know the pain.
Right now, Yan Ling’s calm attitude made people feel very unhappy.
Normally, Consort De would have been angry, but Ling didn’t expect that Consort De would be particularly gentle today. She was extremely considerate towards her and nodded repeatedly to listen to her opinion.
Yan Ling seemed to have grasped something. He felt as though Consort De had come looking for him in a premeditated manner.
She still hadn’t revealed her other purpose, but Yan Ling knew that Consort De’s personality was very impatient. She couldn’t just ignore her like this, so she was about to lose control.
As expected, after Ling finished her sentence, Mrs. De let out a sigh, seemingly brewing. She also felt that it wasn’t easy to say such words. After Jiaorou made a fuss, she said to Yan Ling, “Yan Ling, you’re quite old now, but you’ve considered your marriage.”
Was he actually thinking about Ling Zhang? Yan Ling was startled, then he pursed his lips and felt that it was inappropriate for her to discuss this topic with her.
Even if Yan Ling hadn’t married out, it wouldn’t be her turn to worry. Madam Yan was the one who should worry about the most. The relationship between the two of them was now much worse than before.
“Even though the marriage between the two of them is not settled, the relationship between the two of them is something that everyone in the capital knows about. This nanny does not refute it. The nanny is happy with the prince. If there is a chance in the future, they can naturally be together. As long as the emperor nods and agrees.”
As she spoke, she stared at the Queen Mother De in circumspect.
When Mrs. De saw her talk about Liang He, her expression turned cold. She seemed to dislike hearing this man’s name.
As the current overlord of the harem, her attitude towards the child of her love rival was too much. Besides, the Empress had already passed away for many years, and her disrespect towards the deceased would be a problem if it came to the Emperor’s ears.
It was a pity that Imperial Consort De had been by the Emperor’s side for a long time. She didn’t care about these things in her heart. The stand upon one’s pantofles was used to it and didn’t care much about other people’s opinions.
When Yan Ling thought about it, she pursed her lips. When she saw her actions, she was naturally very upset.
