As bright as a star: Madam, she is an almighty little princess

Beijing becomes more lively as September approaches. Major universities have started classes one after another, high-speed rail stations and airports are crowded with people, and the hot searches on Weibo change every now and then.

However, at noon on September 1st, a sudden official news exploded like a thunderbolt on major online platforms, sweeping the entire network as soon as it was released.

[China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Princess Lingyuzhou and the eldest son of the Pei family will soon be married, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries will develop more friendly. ]

Attached below the announcement are several annexes, which are the latest agreements reached between the two countries half a month ago on medical care, technology, foreign trade and other areas.

Less than three minutes after the news was released, Ling Yuzhou’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a similar announcement and pinned it to the top of its official website.

Netizen:? ? ?

"Who is the Princess of Lingyuzhou?"

"Marriage between the two countries? What about Ling Qi?"

"What does this have to do with Ling Qi?"

Someone from Huada who knew the situation came forward and kindly explained to the person above the post the ambiguous relationship between Ling Qi and Pei Yanxing.

Why is it ambiguous?

Because Ling Qi has not publicly admitted whether she has a boyfriend.

Except for those who have close ties with the Pei family and attended the birthday party of the old lady of the Pei family and the banquets held by various countries last September, everyone else is vague about it.

"Everyone above should be more reasonable. This is news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The other party is the Princess of Lingyuzhou. Think about it, which princess would travel thousands of miles to a school and work so hard to be a little teacher?"

"The above person gave the right answer. Although I don't deny Professor Ling's medical skills, the gap in status is really a bit big. That's the Pei family in Beijing."

"To be honest, Ling Qi is not worthy of this status."

"Yes, I remember that Professor Ling was very good-looking. Rich and powerful young masters like this, but their families still want to marry someone of equal status."

To date, Ling Qi's status in medicine has been recognized by most people and respected by people in the industry. Most people on the Internet have restrained their words, but sarcastic remarks are inevitable.

For a time, the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the official blog of BGI, the official website of Pei Group, and Ling Qi's Weibo were all flooded with inquiries from netizens.

The Internet was bustling with noise, and a palace in the capital named Qingshi was also bustling with noise. People were running back and forth holding red gauze, and the huge castle was decorated with lights and it was very lively.

Compared to the capital, Lingyuzhou seems a little quiet at the moment.

Ling Qi felt sleepy not long after lunch, so he took Ling Luye back to the room to take a nap. The servants in the yard walked lightly and did not dare to speak loudly.

Only the courtyard of the two elders of the Ling family was relatively lively. All the important people in the military and political circles who had access to the palace sent gifts there.

When Ling Qi woke up and went to the old couple's place, there were already a lot of things placed in the yard.

It was at this time that people from the Fang, Ruan and Ye families came to the door.

Only these three families had some freedom in entering and leaving the palace and could sit in the courtyard of the two elders.

From the elderly grandmothers to nephews and nieces, all three families brought gifts.

The yard suddenly became lively.

"Wan Qing, this is something Grandma Fang gave you to add to your makeup."

"Girl, this belongs to Grandma Ruan."

"Xiao Qi, this is from my aunt. I wish you and Yan Xing a long and happy life together."

......

The three grandmothers and aunts took turns presenting dowry gifts, and they were truly happy for the girl.

As an uncle, Ye Xunming gave a manor to Ling Qi.

The gifts from the younger generations were not given at this time.

The Fang and Ruan families were the first to leave. Fang Ganing and Ruan Qian did not leave and had already agreed with Ling Qi to stay at her place tonight.

Ruan Chen and Fang Zhuo left a gift before they left. "Brother Chen and Brother Zhuo will come to give you a wedding gift the day after tomorrow."

The Ye family was not in a hurry to leave. It was not so much that they were in a hurry, but rather that the two elders of the Ye family still had something to say.

Ruan Qian glanced at the situation in the room, exchanged a glance with Fang Jianing, and pulled Ling Luye, who was poking his finger in boredom, over to the side, "Qibaoer, Grandpa Ling and Grandma Ling, Ningning and I will take Ah Ye out for a walk first, and ask someone to call us when it's time for dinner~"

"Take Xiu Lin away as well." Ye Qinghuai handed over his son, who had just walked out of his arms.

The lively atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn.

"Wan Qing." Old Madam Ye took out a box that had never been given away and placed it on the coffee table. "Your mother heard about your marriage and asked me to bring you this gift. You..."

Old Mrs. Ye wanted to say something but stopped herself. Ling Qi just looked at her without any intention of responding.

"Grandma." Ling Yu called out calmly, "Xiao Qi is pregnant now, so she shouldn't get too excited. Our Ling family has already sent out all the invitations. I think everyone who comes wants Xiao Qi to be happy on her big day. There are some things I haven't said yet."

The faces of the two elders of the Ye family became more and more ugly, but Ling Yu did not restrain himself. "As for the things I owe, I will repay them, but I will not allow anyone to spoil Xiaoqi's wedding."

"Brother Ling." Old Master Ye frowned and looked at the two elders who had been silent in the main seat. "Ayu's words are a bit too much. Ah Ying is Wan Qing's mother after all. She just wants to see Xiao Qi get married with her own eyes and make up for her previous mistakes. Look at what Ayu said!"

No one in the room, including the younger generations of the Ye family, had any intention of speaking up for the two elders of the Ye family. Ye Qingci showed an expression of disgust towards the gifts on the table without any concealment.

Although Mrs. Ling was smiling, she looked a little distant. "Lin Zheng, clerk. We have raised A Yu and Wan Er since they were born. People's hearts are always biased. Don't blame us, the grandparents, for speaking biased words. It's not easy for this girl to get to where she is today. Don't force her to give her things she doesn't want."

"The child is older now, and some things are no longer necessary. If you didn't give them when you should have, there's no point in making up for it."

No one mentioned the name from beginning to end, but everyone knew what it meant.

When the two elders of the Ye family left, their faces were very gloomy, which was out of place with the joyful expressions on everyone's face.

Ye Xunming and his wife fell behind a few steps and bowed to the two elders in the room. "Uncle and aunt, this is all for their own children. Please forgive me and don't get angry. I will go back and persuade them. I will not mention this matter to Xiaoqi again in the future."

Old Madam Ling waved her hand and said, "Let the past be the past."

Ling Qi didn't say a word from beginning to end. Ye Qinghuai and his wife left a gift, "Xiao Qi, be happy. Cousin will come again tomorrow night."

Ye Qingci and Ruan Qian made an appointment to stay at Ling Qi's place tonight. After sending Ye Qinghuai out, he did not come back immediately. He sent a message to Ruan Qian about where he was and went outside to look for someone.

There were only four people in the family left in the room. Mrs. Ling did not mention what happened just now, but asked someone to go to the bedroom and get a thick manual.

Mrs. Ling took the handbook and handed it to Ling Qi. "This is the dowry that your grandparents prepared for you. I didn't give it to you a few days ago because you were not in good spirits. Today, these elders are here to add to your dowry. Take a look together. Tell your grandparents if you need anything else."

The booklet in Ling Qi's hand was extremely heavy. Just by looking at its thickness one could tell that the two elders had put a lot of thought into it.

I didn't feel much before, but today, those emotions before getting married gradually came out, and my eyes suddenly felt hot.

"Why are you crying? This is a happy event. We are all happy for Wan'er." Old Mrs. Ling looked at Ling Qi's red eyes, and held Ling Qi's hands with a pair of wrinkled but warm hands, patting them gently, "Wan'er will always be grandpa and grandma's little princess."

Ling Yu also smiled and said, "It's also Big Brother's."

He stood up and walked over to pat Ling Qi on the head, saying in a relaxed tone, "Alright, if you dare to cry, I won't be willing to marry you to that brat."

Ling Qi raised her hand and slapped Ling Yu's hand away, frowning and glaring at Ling Yu, "Which eye of yours saw me cry?"

This look was very much like the little girl who challenged Ling Yu when they were young. Ling Yu shook his body and laughed for a moment, "Okay, you didn't cry, I cried."

Then he raised his hand and rubbed Ling Qi's head, "Let's go and see the gift that big brother gave you."

***

I don’t know how Ling Yu did it, but Rong Shu is no longer as scared of Ling Yu as before, and when Ling Qi came over, she naturally brought him a cup of warm water.

"Xiao Shu, please help me get the booklet on the bedside table in the bedroom."

Rong Shu went there obediently.

Ling Qi sensed something was wrong, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Yu was somewhat intriguing.

A flick of his finger landed on her forehead, and Ling Yu glared at her, "Put away your messy things."

Ling Qi smiled, his eyes teasing, "Is it my imagination or are you guilty? You got anxious before I even said anything."

"You little bitch, you're so sharp-tongued." Ling Yu took a sip of tea, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Xiao Shu is a caring girl. You didn't ask her to go back to Yaodao, and I didn't mention it either. I gave her a salary, but she wanted it, saying that you had helped her a lot and she couldn't repay you. I couldn't help but give her money, so I asked Lingchuan to give her a sum of money every month. Later, this girl felt that she was unworthy of it, so I asked her to help me organize the documents whenever she had time. The list was copied by her."

"Oh."

Rong Shu had already taken the booklet down, and Ling Qi asked her to sit down together and go to the old couple's courtyard to eat later.

"Let's see. No problem. We'll send the betrothal gifts from the Pei family and grandpa and grandma's gifts to the capital tomorrow morning."

Ling Yu handed the booklet to Ling Qi.

Ling Qi looked at the thickness, which was even thicker than the ones the two elders had, and it would take some time to read through it.

After a moment, Ling Qi frowned and put the booklet on the coffee table, "I don't want any of them."

"It's not up to you." He knew Ling Qi would react like this.

"Lingchuan." He called the person at the door to come in, "Take someone to take the book and count it, keep it safe, and send it to the capital tomorrow morning."

"Are you crazy?!"
