Chapter 20 Frontier Riots
"Isn't it intentional? Could it be that Ting'er in this palace is not good enough, so you look down on Miss Su?"

Facing the queen's sharp question, Su Ling thought for a while before raising his head to meet the queen's gaze, and said sincerely: "Back to the empress, your highness is the most outstanding man that a woman of the people has ever seen, no one can compare to him. "

As Yun Ting's biological mother, she was naturally happy to hear someone praise Yun Ting so much, and the empress' anger at Su Ling's refusal to marry her also subsided a little, and she lazily said, "Go on."

"His Royal Highness suddenly proposed marriage, and the girl was not fully prepared, and made the stupid decision to refuse the marriage out of panic. This was not the girl's original intention." Su Ling Nuonuo said.

What responded to her was the queen's long silence.

"Come on, come and sit next to Bengong." The queen raised her hand dyed red Danko to beckon to Su Ling, and said.

Su Ling didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation, hurriedly got up and quickly walked to the queen to sit down.

"Ting'er has fought in the battlefield all year round, and his killing spirit will indeed scare many girls. It's normal for you to refuse marriage. Ting'er is impatient."

"But I want to ask, is there someone in Miss Su Second's heart?" After Su Ling sat down, the queen raised her hand to bring the teacup beside her, and asked with her lips parted.

This family-like conversation made Su Ling's tense mind loosen a bit. When asked that question, the first thing that came to her mind was Yun Ting's tall and slender figure.

"Minister..." Su Ling lowered her head and murmured softly.

"It seems that there is, but Ting'er from my palace?" The queen asked bluntly with a glint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes.

This question made Su Ling a little upset.

She herself is a little confused about what kind of feelings she has for Yun Ting now, how can she give an accurate answer?
After thinking about it, Su Ling simply set off and knelt down in front of the queen again, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is so outstanding, if a commoner girl doesn't want to follow His Highness, wouldn't she have no vision."

This disguised acknowledgment brought a smile to the queen's face, she bent down and helped Su Ling up herself.

"Ting'er has always been an assertive person, so I won't intervene in this matter, but you don't do anything contrary to your intentions, otherwise you will hurt Ting'er, and I will not forgive you lightly."

Back at the Su Mansion, Su Ling was sitting on the corridor, holding a handkerchief that she had carefully embroidered in her hand. The corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with the word "Ling" with light pink silk thread.

There is a folk saying that if a woman gives a man a handkerchief with her name embroidered on it, it is a courtship.

"Miss, what happened when you entered the palace? Don't let the servants worry."

Bai Lan, who was always beside Su Ling, finally couldn't help it, and asked with worried eyes.

Su Ling remained silent, moved his arms slightly, and the handkerchief covered by the wide sleeves was exposed. Seeing this, Bai Lan's eyes suddenly became strange.

"Miss, are you a pleasing man? Are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Out of curiosity, Bai Lan observed Su Ling's expression and asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Su Ling put away the handkerchief leisurely, looked sideways at Bai Lan and said slowly, "Why do you ask so many questions, did you get the kitchen ready for the things I just told you?"

The latter nodded.

Su Ling went to the kitchen and started to prepare the necessary things.

She didn't want to wait any longer, if something went wrong and missed him, she would definitely regret it.

Squeezing the handkerchief in her cuff, Su Ling decided to put on a face and went to the Prince's Mansion the next day to persuade Yun Ting to marry her.

She may be the first girl to propose to a man. If Yun Ting agrees, it's okay, but if she disagrees, she will probably become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

……

In the early morning of the next day, it began to drizzle, and the ground that had been dry for a long time was wet, bringing a hint of coolness.

Su Ling took the thank you gift that was ready to go to the Prince's Mansion and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

"Ling'er? Where are you rushing to go this early in the morning?"

As soon as Su Ling walked to the gate of the mansion, she heard Su Jinyan's curious voice from behind. She hid the brocade box behind her back and smiled at Su Jinyan: "The rain finally stopped, I want to go out Go shopping."

Su Jinyan saw the brocade box in Su Ling's hand with sharp eyes, and then looked at his little sister quietly, and said with a feigned sigh: "Hey! Ling'er has grown up, and now she won't talk to elder brother about anything."

Being stared at by Su Jinyan with such eyes, Su Ling was helpless and funny, but in the end she couldn't resist, so she could only light up the brocade box again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved me on the day of the banquet, so I thought about making some cakes and sending them to His Highness. It was a kindness."

It's just that Su Ling concealed half of the purpose of this trip, after all, she doesn't want to be nagged by her elder brother.

"Ling'er, His Royal Highness, he left Beijing last night."

"Why is Your Highness leaving Beijing?"

"There was a riot in the frontier, and the emperor sent His Highness to rush there overnight."

Su Ling was stunned in place, thinking of Yun Ting being left behind when she came out of the imperial study yesterday, presumably this is what the emperor was talking about.

She was one step too late.

"A letter came from the frontier. This time the riot is more serious. His Highness the Crown Prince invited Ying to go." Su Jinyan didn't know what his little sister was thinking, but when she saw Yun Ting mentioned, he just said something casually.

Unexpectedly, these words directly lead to the memory of Su Ling's previous life.

She remembered that this riot was supposed to be dealt with by another lieutenant general, but at that time she underestimated the seriousness of the matter.

It wasn't until the city gate guards that thousands of people were beheaded that the court and the emperor paid attention to it, and Yun Ting was sent to suppress it.

Su Ling once heard Xie Jing describe the scene at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a purgatory on earth. As the God of War in the country, Yun Ting was sent there with countless hopes.

She loosened her fingers holding the brocade box, and the brocade box fell to the ground with a loud noise, the exquisite pastries inside fell all over the floor, and the plain-colored handkerchief also fell out.

In his memory, Yun Ting returned home safely and triumphantly, but many things in this rebirth have deviated from the original track.

Su Ling didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid that Yun Ting would follow in the footsteps of that lieutenant general.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Are you all right?"

Su Jinyan's worried expression came into his eyes, he asked while supporting Su Ling's shoulders.

The latter suddenly shook his head: "Brother, I'll go back to the yard first."

Before Su Jinyan asked, Su Ling hurried towards the courtyard, leaving a mess.

"Hey, this girl." Su Jinyan could only sigh, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the handkerchief that fell on the ground out of the corner of his eye.He bent down to pick it up, and accidentally saw the word "Ling" in the corner of the handkerchief, and understood Su Ling's heart.

Back in the courtyard, Su Ling was sitting on pins and needles, her mind was full of border riots, she stared at the broken teacups at her feet, and the uneasiness in her heart expanded infinitely.
