Chapter 47: Only Sincere to You

Book:The Counterattack of the Princess Published:2024-6-2

“Well, I heard that yesterday two princes told the Emperor they wanted to marry you.” Princess Zhaoyan stares at Yanling, showing a gossipy look.
Because they were together during these days, Yan Ling and Princess Zhaoyan have become familiar with each other, and their relationship is quite good, which makes Princess Zhaoyan start to inquire about Yan Ling from time to time.
Yan Ling looks at the gossipy Princess Zhaoyan and doesn’t know what to say. But actually, Yan Ling doesn’t hate Princess Zhaoyan.
“I know even if you don’t tell me. Now that this matter has been known by all the aristocrats in the capital.” Seeing that Yan Ling doesn’t answer, Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t get angry, but says it on her own.
Yan Ling suddenly feels helpless. What’s the wrong with those people? They like to spread whatever they’ve heard. What’s more, it’s only two unsuccessful match-makings.
“Yan Ling, we all know now that you are the woman that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince fight for. Now even if you want to get married, I’m afraid it’s difficult. No one dares to marry you.” Princess Zhaoyan lies lazily in a wooden armchair, looking at the sky and saying slowly.
“Why do you care so much? If you are in such a hurry, why don’t you get married first?” Yan Ling sighs helplessly and then sits on the chair next to Princess Zhaoyan, stretching her limbs like the latter.
“I’m not in a hurry. But it’s better for you if you don’t want to get married now. Liang He is so nice to you. You really should wait for him.” Princess Zhaoyan says leisurely.
“How can you tell that the Crown Prince is very nice to me?” Yan Ling suddenly asks curiously.
“What are you talking about? Anyone in the capital can sense that.” Princess Zhaoyan turns her head and looks at Yan Ling a little scornfully.
Seeing that Yan Ling is still confused, Princess Zhaoyan sits up immediately. She looks at Yan Ling helplessly and says earnestly, “Believe it or not. Do you know why the news about your marriage spreads so fast these two times?”
Yan Ling looks carefully at Princess Zhaoyan and notices that she doesn’t seem to be joking. Suddenly, she becomes interested. She says with a smile, “I don’t know, My Lady. Please tell me.”
Princess Zhaoyan smiles and says proudly, “Do you remember what happened at my party last time?”
Yan Ling remembers that party. It was a joint effort by Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Shuang to embarrass her. But in the end, they didn’t succeed. Yan Ling doesn’t know why Princess Zhaoyan would suddenly mention this.
“Are you reminding me how you tried to embarrass me before?” Yan Ling says with a smile.
Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyan suddenly looks awkward. Her original plan was to embarrass Yan Ling. However, she thought Yan Ling was a good person when they first met, so she didn’t do it.
However, she did have such an evil plan at that time. Therefore, Princess Zhaoyan really feels sorry in her heart when Yan Ling mentions this.
“I was wrong, and I apologize to you. I’m sorry. Isn’t that ok?” Although Princess Zhaoyan feels guilty in her heart, she still looks justified. No one can see that she is apologizing.
Yan Ling now has a certain understanding about Princess Zhaoyan. Seeing the princess behaves like that now, she only feels funny and doesn’t take it to heart.
“Come on, it seems that it’s my fault if I don’t forgive you.” Yan Ling lies there, laughing happily.
Princess Zhaoyan blushes and doesn’t know what to do. She opens her eyes wide and keeps staring at Yan Ling.
Yan Ling sees Princess Yan staring at her all the time. Yan Ling is afraid to make the princess angry again and suddenly coughs awkwardly.
“Well, why did you suddenly mention that party?” Yan Ling tries to change the topic calmly.
Princess Zhaoyan remembers what she just wanted to say, and hurriedly continues: “At the banquet, many people saw your interaction. After that, it was said in the capital that the Crown Prince loved the eldest daughter of the Yan family so much that no one else could offend her. ”
Yan Ling has never heard of such and is shocked. She says as if she cannot believe it, “What exaggeration!”
“I feel the same way as you do, but I can’t help it. That’s what everyone says.” Princess Zhaoyan shrugs.
Seeing that Yan Ling is speechless, Princess Zhaoyan holds back her laughter and continues, “Now everyone knows. Remember, you can never offend the Crown Prince.”
There is another thing that Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t say: after Yan Shuang was knocked out, many people suspected that it was the Crown Prince that did it, because that day at the banquet, only Yan Shuang provoked Yan Ling.
Then, on the very night, Yan Shuang was knocked out when she went back home. It couldn’t be a coincidence.
So… Yan Ling is speechless. A lot of people in the capital are waiting to gossip about her? No wonder the news spreads so fast.
“Although Liang He is also hypocritical, he is sincere to you. I think it’s not bad.” After a while, Princess Zhaoyan suddenly says seriously.
Yan Ling says jokingly, “Liang He is hypocritical? What about the Third Prince? ”
At first, Princess Zhaoyan thinks Yan Ling also has a thing for Liang Yi, the Third Prince. After a careful look at Yan Ling’s expression, she realizes that it is not like this and lets out a sigh of relief.
Then, Princess Zhaoyan suddenly looks at Yan Ling scornfully and says: “The Royal people are all hypocrites! The difference between Liang He and Liang Yi is that Liang He is only sincere to you. ”
Yan Ling is surprised when she hears this, but she also thinks it’s funny. Princess Zhaoyan really dares to say anything. She even regards the Emperor as a hypocrite.
Princess Zhaoyan seems to know what Yan Ling is thinking, and says with disdain, “Yes, it includes the Emperor, who is not a good man.”
Yan Ling raises her eyebrows and signals Princess Zhaoyan to continue.
Princess Zhaoyan sighs, “People say that His Majesty dotes on me. Why? He just thinks that I am innocent and will not gang up with the people who covet his throne.”
Seeing that Yan Ling doesn’t speak, Princess Zhaoyan sneers at herself and continues to talk slowly. It seems that she is not talking about herself, but telling a story.
“My father died in war, and my mother also died after him. I am a princess, but this identity is given by the Emperor, so are my honors and wealth. I’m an orphan girl, helpless and powerless. No matter how much he dotes on me, I can’t be a threat for him. Of course he is clear about that.”
