The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her
Chapter 58 Unworthy? The Regent Proposes in Public!
Qin Zhaori touched his eyes, but couldn't feel anything.
He stared at Jiang Ling, bewildered: "Miss Jiang Ling, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that I don't know any Taoist priests or monks, and I've never seen a ghost before yesterday. How did I suddenly gain the ability to see ghosts for no reason?"
Jiang Ling looked at him intently.
Qin Zhaori was handsome and refined, with a full forehead, well-defined ears, and bright, clear eyes. His appearance suggested exceptional abilities, indicating he would become a virtuous and capable official in the future!
In terms of destiny, Qin Zhaori is a star that assists the emperor.
His ability to see ghosts was a gift from his ancestors.
Jiang Ling smiled and asked him, "Did you dream about your ancestors yesterday?"
"A dream?" Qin Zhaori lowered his head and pondered.
Once you wake up, you're more likely to forget it.
Jiang Ling flicked a wisp of spiritual energy between his eyebrows to help him recall.
Qin Zhaori suddenly realized and stood up excitedly: "I remember now! I took a nap yesterday morning when I went to the Imperial Guard to take up my post. I dreamed that my ancestor was a mountain god, and he said that I was promising and wanted to reward me!"
"I said, I wish I had eyes that could distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and punish evil and promote good. Isn't this a dream? Or is it real?!"
Jiang Ling nodded.
Qin Zhaori was dumbfounded, not knowing whether he was shocked that his ancestor was actually a mountain god!
Still confused, he really does have the ability to see ghosts!
No wonder Jiang Ling told him yesterday to get used to it sooner rather than later.
But he's lived for twenty-three years and has never seen a ghost before. He can't bear the thought of seeing ghosts every day from now on!
"The ability to see ghosts cannot be erased, but I can give you a talisman. When you don't want to see ghosts, wear it on your body and you won't be able to see them. When you want to see them, just take it off."
Jiang Ling smiled and asked him, "One talisman, one tael of silver. Do you want it?"
"Yes! I want it!"
Qin Zhaori immediately wrote an IOU. He would take the talisman first, go back to get the money, and then bring it over.
The paper figure jumped over, and Chang Tengyun stroked his chin. "What kind of talisman is this? So cheap! Give me ten to play with!"
Jiang Ling glanced at him. "If you want it, one talisman costs one thousand taels."
"Why should he get one or two ounces!"
"Because he's poor, he can't afford to give more."
Qin Zhaori, who was still writing IOUs for one or two taels of silver, suffered a heart attack.
Chang Tengyun laughed heartily.
"What are you laughing at? You can't even come up with a single ounce!" Wang Jingkang grabbed him. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. You'll stay at my place for the next couple of days!"
In a blink of an eye.
Upon arriving at the Zhenbei General's Mansion, a grand banquet was held for the guests.
From the capital city to the highest officials and noble families, everyone who could come was here!
They all wanted to see what the future regent's wife, whom the late emperor had betrothed to, looked like.
"I heard she's a disfigured, hideous monster, incredibly ugly!"
"I heard she's promiscuous and had a child with another man, the child is old enough to run away! The Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion refuses to acknowledge her, it was only because the General of Zhenbei's mansion took pity on her that they took her and her child in!"
"How could the late emperor have left behind such an imperial edict bestowing a marriage upon him? Isn't this an insult to the Regent!"
"What did you say?" Wang Jingkang, who was passing by, heard this and immediately rolled up his sleeves. "Get out! The General of the North's Mansion does not welcome you!"
"Big brother, what's going on?" Wang Jing'an and the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
Wang Jingkang gritted his teeth: "They disrespect Ling'er! Get rid of them!"
"What are you doing? We're guests! Ouch! Stop hitting us!"
"Help! People are being assaulted by the General's Mansion!"
……
The surrounding guests stared in disbelief as Wang Jingkang and his brothers were violently driven away.
Wang Jingkang turned around and waved his fist at the crowd, "Ling'er is the fourth young lady of our Zhenbei General's Mansion. Anyone who dares to say a bad word about her, don't blame us brothers for being impolite!"
“Jingkang is right! I regard Ling’er as my own daughter. Anyone who bullies her will not be welcome in the Zhenbei General’s Mansion!”
Wang Dewu stood on the corridor and made his statement in front of everyone.
The guests immediately started discussing it, and no matter what they thought in their hearts, they dared not say another bad word about Jiang Ling.
But some people disagreed.
Fang Meiyu cursed inwardly, "The General of the North's Mansion is truly blind!"
"Don't be angry, Yu'er. That Jiang Ling isn't even worthy to carry your shoes. You are the most beautiful girl today!" The wealthy young man beside her coaxed her, and Fang Meiyu blushed instantly, shyly snuggling into his arms.
Fang Meiyu patted his chest shyly, "Brother Tengyun, you have such a sweet tongue."
"No, Yu'er, you're the sweetest."
"Brother Tengyun~ You're so annoying!"
Wang Jingkang gripped the paper figure tightly with both hands, turned, and rushed out of the crowd. He warned in a low voice, "Chang Tengyun, calm down! So many people are watching! Do you want to be killed as a monster?"
Chang Tengyun used all his strength, but still couldn't hold it in.
He struggled desperately, spewing profanities and cursing his ancestors for eight generations!
Wang Jingkang felt sorry for him.
But Ling'er's banquet is more important!
He will not allow anyone to sabotage it!
"Mother looks so beautiful today!" Jiang Yuxue sat in front of the dressing table, resting her chin on her hands, her bright red eyes looking at Jiang Ling.
Jiang Yuyan stood on tiptoe and presented the agate hairpin with both hands, saying, "Mother, wear this!"
"it is good."
Jiang Ling smiled as she looked at the two adorable children, then casually stuck agate hairpins into their hair.
She looked at herself in the mirror and realized that the saying "clothes make the man" was true.
She wore a pomegranate-red, wide-sleeved, light gauze dress, embroidered with gold thread and adorned with pearls and gemstone fragments. Radiant and stunning, gorgeous yet dignified.
Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with gold and jade hairpins, and sparkling with agate.
The only flaw in her beauty is her face.
"Mother." Jiang Yuxue flew up lightly, approached Jiang Ling's disfigured face, and gently blew on it: "Blow on it, it doesn't hurt! Mother's face, I hope it heals quickly!"
"Baby, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Ling reached out and touched Jiang Yuxue's head, smiled slightly, and put on her veil. "Let's go, let's go with Mother."
"Uh-huh!"
Jiang Yuyan tilted his cute little face up and obediently held Jiang Ling's hand.
Jiang Yuxue was transformed into a clay doll, held quietly in her brother's arms, attracting no attention.
They went to the front yard.
There were over a hundred tables of guests today.
The Wang family introduced Jiang Ling to all the distinguished guests in the capital with utmost formality and solemnity. They cherished and loved Jiang Ling, not for the position of Regent's Consort, but simply because Jiang Ling was family!
Having learned from past mistakes, all the guests greeted each other with smiles, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Only when it came to toasting at this table.
Fang Meiyu's expression was arrogant and sarcastic as she said in a mocking tone, "Jiang Ling, why are you wearing a veil? Is it because you're too ugly and afraid of scaring all our guests?"
"Ahem, Yu'er, don't be rude." Duke Fang coughed insincerely.
Fang Meiyu, however, did not restrain herself. Instead, she raised her voice even louder, "Jiang Ling, you're a jinx to your parents, you killed your cousin Wanyue, and you ruined your cousin's life! How dare you celebrate? You are not worthy of marrying the Regent!"
Jiang Ling looked at her coldly.
The entire Zhenbei General's family had faces as black as the bottom of a pot, and their fists were clenched.
Jiang Yuyan covered the mud doll's mouth, his cute little face revealing a flicker of fire in his eyes.
Fang Meiyu, oblivious to her own mortality, shouted, "Look! The bastard child is already so big! The Regent must despise you so much that he can't even invite the General of the North's Mansion!"
"Who said I wasn't here!"
As Murong Yan's voice rang out, all the guests immediately rose to greet him.
Murong Yan stopped his wheelchair five steps away from Jiang Ling. He placed his hands on the armrests and, under the stunned gazes of everyone present, slowly stood up…
step!
Two steps...
With difficulty but unwavering determination, Murong Yan approached Jiang Ling and asked, "Jiang Ling, I've been searching for you for three years. Will you marry me?"
