Chapter 154
I have been very motivated recently.
Song Baichuan and Jun Tingsheng came out after talking and saw Song Baoling playing with Song Lianmu. The two seemed to be having a good time.
"Ling'er, Mu'er."
When she saw Song Baichuan coming, Song Baoling immediately put down her book and stood up, "Dad, are you done talking?"
Song Lianmu stood up obediently and saluted with his hands clasped in fists: "Mu'er has met my eldest uncle and my elder brother."
Seeing this scene, Jun Tingsheng felt a little surprised. He had seen Song Lianmu's appearance as the little devil in the world, and it was really unlike him to be so respectful and polite now.
Song Baichuan saw what he was thinking and explained with a smile: "Wu'er has changed a lot in the past two years, and he has been very motivated recently."
"Yeah, I just discovered that he quite likes reading and literacy."
Song Baoling echoed, thought for a while, and said to Jun Tingsheng: "If you are free, help teach him."
"You see, you are not only good at literature and martial arts, but also know the art of war and planning. And most importantly, you have a good heart. With your guidance, he will definitely be successful in the future."
Hearing Song Baoling talk about how excellent she was, Jun Tingsheng felt good in her heart and immediately agreed without saying a word.
Song Lianmu cheered with joy, and hurriedly saluted Jun Tingsheng: "Thank you, Brother Shizi, Mu'er will definitely learn from you."
The next day, Song Baoling got up early to freshen up and dress up because Jun Tingsheng wanted to take her to Xiangqi Tower.
Arriving at the door of the Song Mansion, I saw Jun Tingsheng already waiting, and a smile instantly appeared on his face when he saw Song Baoling appear.
"The Holy Father asked you to receive the envoys from the four countries. In fact, he handed you a hot potato. If it is done well, it is a good thing. If it is not done well, it will implicate the Song family. This should be his purpose."
Song Baoling sighed helplessly, "I know everything you said, but the problem is that he doesn't allow me to refuse."
Seeing the depressed look on her face, Jun Tingsheng knew her difficulty and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here and I will help you when the time comes."
Song Baoling's mood immediately improved a lot when he heard this, "Why don't you tell me about the situation in the four countries now, so that I can be prepared."
So Jun Tingsheng patiently explained to Song Baoling what he knew.
"Except for the Jin Kingdom, the Xianqi Kingdom and the Zhen Kingdom are both tough countries. They are good at using force to solve problems..."
Jun Tingsheng not only explained the differences between the other three countries, but also told many interesting stories between the four countries. Song Baoling became more and more interested in listening to it, and finally fell asleep in his arms when he was tired of listening.
Seeing that the person in his arms was sleeping soundly, Jun Tingsheng couldn't help but caress her face. As a result, shopkeeper Bai, who was rushed over as soon as his hand touched her, saw this scene.
"Your Majesty, we are in a serious situation right now. Please don't delay your business because of Miss Song."
As a subordinate, Shopkeeper Bai knew that he shouldn't have said the words of warning, but it was the first time that he saw Jun Tingsheng attach such importance to someone, not to mention that the other person was a woman, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
What they were doing was extremely difficult. If Jun Tingsheng was distracted at this time and allowed the enemy to seize the opportunity, the price would be unimaginable.
"Old Bai, you have crossed the line."
Jun Tingsheng looked at him with stern eyes, and a cold aura emanated from his body. Song Baoling's eyelashes, which were leaning in his arms, trembled slightly, but they returned to normal in an instant.
"My subordinates know that they have crossed a line, but they have to remind the prince that sometimes even if they take just one wrong step, everything will be lost."
After saying that, shopkeeper Bai turned around and left angrily. He recognized Jun Tingsheng, who was ambitious, decisive and wise, rather than the young prince of Chengyang who was trapped by his children's affair.
"The saliva dripped on me."
Song Baoling, who closed her eyes tightly, was stunned. The next moment she stood up and wiped her mouth. After realizing that she was being tricked, she was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and glared at Jun Tingsheng angrily.
"You're playing tricks on me again!"
"Who told you to pretend to be asleep so much?"
Jun Tingsheng smiled fondly, but the smile on his face was gradually replaced when he saw Song Baoling murmuring and arranging her clothes.
"Don't take Lao Bai's words to heart. He is a worrier."
"Although what I did was dangerous, it was not as serious as what he said. Don't worry, just do it as usual. I will be there no matter where you are, anytime."
Song Baoling knew that he was just comforting herself, so she said nothing more, "If there is anything you need my help with, you must tell me."
"Okay, stop worrying so much and get ready for the Four Nations Banquet."
Jun Tingsheng didn't want to get her involved. As his father said, Jun Tianlin's huge power had spread throughout the court, and it was not easy to deal with him.
What's more, Jun Tianlin is also interested in Song Baocheng, which is what he is most worried about so far.
"By the way, let's go to the market tomorrow to set off Kongming lanterns. It will definitely be fun."
"Okay, it's up to you."
After returning home from Xiangqi Tower, Song Baoling changed into new clothes and went to Jin Mansion alone, avoiding everyone.
Jinfu——
"I am the Lord of Jinling County. When I left the palace, the Queen Mother gave me something and asked me to hand it over to Miss Jin."
The housekeeper of the Jin Mansion looked her up and down before letting Song Baoling into the house and taking her to see Jin Wanlin.
"Miss, the Lord of Jinling County is here."
Because she was scolded by the queen for no reason last time, Jin Wanlin became furious when she saw Song Baoling, so she deliberately let out a scream when she passed the table.
"This is my favorite painting, and you actually damaged it. Song Baoling, did you do it on purpose?"
Seeing Jin Wanlin pick up the drawing paper pretending to be distressed, Song Baoling grabbed her hand, smiled slightly and leaned forward to look at the drawing.
"Ms. Jin, this matter really has nothing to do with me."
Song Baoling took the painting away directly, and then pointed to the corner of the scroll, "This painting has been damaged a long time ago. If you don't believe it, Miss Jin can take a closer look at the damage."
"Those yellowing signs already indicate that the painting has been damaged for a while, otherwise it would not be this color."
Seeing that the frame-up was not successful, Jin Wanlin suddenly became angry and said, "Don't confuse right and wrong here. This is the Jin Mansion, not your home. What I say is what I say?"
"Come here, hurry up and throw her out!"
Seeing this situation, Song Baoling had no choice but to tell her the purpose of coming to see her, "You know that I have a good relationship with my uncle, maybe I can help you save your marriage."
Jin Wanlin was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "You have such good intentions?"
"A gentleman has the beauty of a man. Otherwise, why would I come to you?"
Song Baoling's rhetorical question confused Jin Wanlin. Seeing the sincere expression on her face, she hesitated for a long time before choosing to believe her.
"How can you help me?"
"Tomorrow you go to the night market to take advantage of the Kongming Lantern display and pray for my uncle's grandmother. I will arrange the rest..."
Song Baoling told her her plan, but for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable in her chest, as if she was feeling very depressed.
