There is no smile in his eyes

Just after noon the next day, Jun Tingsheng was training in the army when Cang Mu suddenly came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, just now the Holy Master sent someone to tell you that there will be a banquet in the palace today, and he will be asked to come into the palace to talk about it."

Jun Tingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He was similar in age to the sage, and they were somewhat similar, so the sage had not liked him since he was a child.

Now I was suddenly invited to a banquet, so I figured something must be going on.

"Since it is the Holy Will, let's start making preparations."

Cangmu immediately sent someone to bring a change of clothes and help Jun Tingsheng bathe and change clothes. When they arrived at the palace, the time was just right.

However, at this banquet, in addition to Jun Yelan and his queen, there was also a young and beautiful woman.

"My lord, please see your Majesty, the Queen."

Jun Tingsheng straightened up after saluting respectfully. He glanced at the woman next to him, but there was no reaction.

"Today is a family dinner, no need to be polite, just be casual."

There was a smile on Jun Yelan's face, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no smile in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Jun Tingsheng sat down, the Queen looked at him with a smile on her face: "Ting Sheng, this is my sister Wanlin. She has admired you since she was a child. When she heard that you entered the palace today, she had to follow you.

.”

Jin Wanlin looked at Jun Tingsheng who was sitting opposite, her eyes were shining, and she said openly: "I heard that the prince has made a lot of achievements during the five years of the expedition. Wanlin really admires him from the bottom of her heart."

"Thank you, Miss Jin, for your compliment."

Jun Tingsheng nodded coldly. He was not interested in what Jin Wanlin said, and he seemed to have already guessed why he was asked to enter the palace.

"The prince is able to do such things at his age. You must have suffered a lot from peeing."

"fine."

"I heard from my father that King Chengyang was also good at leading troops to fight in the early years. Now when I look at the crown prince, I really agree with what he said: A tiger father has no dog sons."

"My father is indeed great, but he doesn't care too much about worldly affairs in recent years. He only likes to write poems and paint."

The two of them chatted as if no one was around, but Jin Wanlin was mostly looking for topics to talk about. Jun Tingsheng didn't want to talk to her, but he couldn't embarrass himself in public, so he had to be patient and perfunctory.

Jun Yelan could see Jun Tingsheng's unhappiness, but he didn't want to stop him. He also hoped that Jin Wanlin could restrain Jun Tingsheng and control him in the future.

"Looking at the two of you chatting so happily, you have forgotten both the Holy Emperor and me."

The queen smiled very happily. She glanced at Jun Yelan and continued: "Ting Sheng, you are not young now. It's time to get married."

"My sister, although she has been a bit spoiled since childhood, she is very sensible. And she appreciates you so much. Why don't you two become a good match? This will be good for you..."

Before she could finish her words, Jun Tingsheng's face instantly turned ugly and she refused bluntly: "Thank you for your kindness, Queen, but I don't want to get married yet."

The smile on the queen's face suddenly disappeared, and she frowned dissatisfied: "Ting Sheng, I am doing this for your own good. You are so eager to refuse, but you think I am meddling in my own business?"

Jun Tingsheng clenched his fists and stood up and knelt on the ground the next moment, "I don't dare to have such an idea. I just don't want to disappoint the Queen in the future, so I told you in advance."

It's okay not to explain, but this explanation made the queen's face even more ugly.

Jin Wanlin was not angry because of the rejection. On the contrary, she felt that Jun Tingsheng's personality was very flamboyant, and she liked such a man.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush to a conclusion. I am happy with you, so I will spare no effort to make you happy with me."

"One day, you will agree to marry me."

Hearing this, Jun Tingsheng did not say anything to her, but turned to salute Jun Yelan: "Your Majesty, there are still important matters in the army that need to be dealt with urgently. If there is nothing else, can I please retreat first?"

Jun Yelan saw his intention, thought about it for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "Since there is something important, let's go back."

"Ting Sheng, don't take what happened just now too seriously. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

The two cousins ​​looked at each other tacitly, and after Jun Tingsheng bowed and thanked him, he stood up and left quickly.

Looking at the retreating figure, the queen couldn't help but feel a little angry, "This Jun Tingsheng is so ungrateful that he actually rejected my sister."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Jun Yelan: "I have something that I don't understand. If the Holy One intends to bring them together, why doesn't he grant them a marriage directly?"

Jun Yelan's eyes were a little cold. He looked at the courtyard outside the door and said in a particularly cold tone: "Even if I grant you a marriage, he will not agree."

"My imperial uncle has always loved him. I'm afraid it will only cause bigger troubles. It's just a small matter and not worth a big fight."

What's more, he always has a way to make Jun Tingsheng agree.

After Jun Tingsheng came out of the palace, she felt very depressed, so she went to the Song Mansion to find Song Baoling.

Unexpectedly, he arrived at the wrong time. Song Baoling was accompanying Song Baozhu and Pei Lin to select fabrics for their wedding.

"I want this, and this one is pretty good-looking too, I want both..."

Song Baozhu was fascinated by picking and picking. She couldn't enter the palace anyway, so she took this opportunity to store more, so she became even more rude and took down everything that pleased her.

As for the groom, Pei Lin, he would just nod and say yes. After all, in his opinion, as long as Song Baozhu is happy, that's all.

"Okay, then I'll follow what the eldest lady wants."

The fabric merchant stayed with him with a smile throughout the process. When he saw Song Baoling, who had been silent until now, he stepped forward and said, "These are high-quality fabrics. Do you like any of them, young lady?"

Song Baoling also wanted to choose one to make clothes, so she carefully selected it, and finally selected a light-colored fabric, which was very soft and comfortable to the touch.

"Then I want this."

"The young lady has good taste. Although this fabric is plain in color, it has a very good texture when made into a dress, and it also..."

When Song Baozhu heard this, he immediately walked up to Song Baoling and said with an extremely arrogant attitude: "I want this piece of cloth."

Song Baoling's smile disappeared instantly. She knew that Song Baozhu did it on purpose, but she didn't want to argue with him, so she gave the fabric to her.

Seeing Song Baozhu leave with a triumphant expression, Song Baoling pursed her lips sadly. She really liked that piece of fabric.

Jun Tingsheng, who was standing in the yard, saw this scene in his eyes. When the cloth merchant left Song Mansion, he chased after him.

"I wonder what the prince has to do with the younger one?"

"Do you still have the fabric that Miss Song Mansion was interested in in your shop?"

The cloth merchant was startled when he heard this, "There should be... another one. If the prince likes it, I will personally deliver it to Prince Chengyang's palace."

Jun Tingsheng looked back at the Song Mansion, then turned around and said, "No, I'll go get it for you."

"Then I don't know when Your Highness will..."

"immediately!"

Song Baoling was lying on the table glumly. She hadn't been able to leave the house to play for several days. Zhou He didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't come to see her for the first time.

"well……"

With a sigh, Song Baoling fiddled with the small ornaments on the table, wondering if he should sneak out to play. After all, such a life was a bit too boring.

"I can hear you sighing from a distance. Why are you unhappy?"
