When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

Ayun and Awan stood on Ling Ning's left and right, curling their lips slightly.

What did the eldest lady mean by this? Did she really think that they could not hear it?

If she wanted King Jing to speak directly, why did she beat around the bush and hide it?

Anyway, no matter whether she said it implicitly or directly, the young lady would not agree to such unrealistic demands from them.

Why waste time here?

"In fact, it is not difficult to find a suitable husband." Ling Ning adjusted to a more comfortable posture, "As long as you lower your requirements, there will be no shortage of people to choose from."

Ling Shuang pursed her lips, revealing an expression of wanting to say something but not saying it.

"The Ling family has a prominent family background. Although the eldest sister is a concubine's daughter, she has been raised by her aunt, and she is not much worse than a legitimate daughter." Ling Ning drank a sip of tea, "As long as the eldest sister really wants to get married, I am afraid that many young masters of the imperial city family will not be able to ask for her."

Ling Shuang's face changed slightly.

The word "bastard daughter" was like a needle piercing her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

Although she was fostered in the name of her stepmother, and could barely be on equal footing with Ling Ning, before she was ten years old, she was indeed just a bastard daughter of humble origin.

Her mother was strict with her, and the maids and nannies in the mansion did not think much of her. If her aunt had not died early, her mother would never have raised her.

Now that Ling Ning said this, it was as if a bloody wound had been torn open, and Ling Shuang felt a sharp pain and embarrassment in her heart.

After much difficulty, she managed to smile, but her smile was a bit bitter: "Sister An Ning, do you think I am already ten years old and not worthy of a good husband?"

"Ten years old is indeed a bit old. Big sister can lower her requirements appropriately. It's okay if the family background is similar. As long as the person is good and can treat big sister well, it doesn't have to marry a prince or nobleman."

Ling Shuang put down the teacup and forced a smile: "That's what I mean, but mother always wants to find the best one for me..."

"The best is not necessarily the most suitable." Ling Ning interrupted her, "If big sister insists on asking for the best, then I suggest you choose an opportunity to go to the palace to see the imperial concubine."

Ling Shuang was stunned: "See the imperial concubine? Sister An Ning means... let me marry the fourth prince?"

"No." Ling Ning said calmly, "You can go to the palace to serve the emperor. With big sister's beauty, it should be no problem to be promoted to the position of concubine."

After the voice fell, the expression on Ling Shuang's face froze instantly.

She looked at Ling Ning in disbelief for a long time before she spoke awkwardly: "Sister An Ning, how can you say that? I... I..."

"Does elder sister think it's inappropriate?" Ling Ning raised her eyebrows, "Because the emperor is older?"

Ling Shuang clutched the handkerchief in her hand, her face was pale and blue, she could no longer sit still, and stood up to cover her face.

Ling Ning sneered.

You dare to show off in front of her with such little skills?

Sitting up, Ling Ning picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly.

"Miss." Ayun was a little worried, "Will the elder lady go to complain?"

"Complain?" Ling Ning sneered, "What complaint? Did I bully her or plot against her?"

No.

A Wan smiled crisply and said, "The elder lady wants to find a suitable husband, and the younger lady just gave her some reasonable suggestions. Anyway, she is not worthy of King Jing, so it's useless to think about it."

This is a good intention.

A girl can't just make up stories about her younger sister for no reason.

"Awan is right." A lazy voice suddenly sounded outside the window, with a bit of careless joy, "I really like this sentence."
