“What? Do you want to comfort me? There’s no need. I can understand. I live my own life, and their thought means nothing to me.” Princess Zhaoyan says indifferently.
It seems that Princess Zhaoyan notices that Yan Ling wants to talk but stops. Princess Zhaoyan seems free of worries and others will think it is Yan Ling that needs comfort.
Hearing this, Yan Ling doesn’t how she should feel and cannot figure out what this girl is thinking.
A trace of sadness crosses Princess Zhaoyan’s face and it cannot be an illusion, but after a while, she looks as usual.
Yan Ling feels that she has never seen through Princess Zhaoyan.
Before they met, Yan Ling heard that Princess Zhaoyan was arrogant, unreasonable and very overbearing. However, after their meeting, she felt that this woman was very frank, even somewhat lovely. Then she decided to make friends with the princess.
But now Yan Ling feels that Princess Zhaoyan is not as simple and naïve as people say. She is smart. She understands everything, but she just doesn’t want to.
In fact, Yan Ling is quite envious of this way of living. The princess does not need to care about anything and can be herself and live at ease. Unfortunately, this is not suitable for Yan Ling.
Yan Ling suddenly sighs. In fact, no one knows that the princess they don’t pay attention to actually understands everything more thoroughly than they do.
“You are truly…” Yan Ling wants to say something, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she is interrupted by a knock on the door.
“What’s the matter?” Princess Zhaoyan returns to her normal appearance and asks discontentedly.
Before Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling entered the house, the princess told the servants to wait outside and not to go in and disturb them.
Then if there is no order, no one dares to disturb Princess Zhaoyan. but how dare someone knock at the door abruptly?
After this period of time, Yan Ling also knows that Princess Zhaoyan’s servants will always behave themselves. There must be some reason behind the abnormal interruption.
“The Third Prince is here, My Lady. He asks to see you.” The servant says cautiously.
Neither side can be offended. She is just a servant and doesn’t know what to do.
“Why is he here?” Yan Ling frowns and says to Princess Zhaoyan in a low voice.
Princess Zhaoyan seems to be dissatisfied, but when she hears Yan Ling’s question, she squints and smiles happily for Yan Ling’s misfortune. She says to Yan Ling, “He definitely comes to see you.”
This is what Yan Ling is afraid of. She gets nervous but pretends calmness by leaning back leisurely.
“I know this room has another exit. The servant said that the Third Prince came to see you. It’s none of my business. I’m leaving now.” Yan Ling says unconcernedly.
How can Princess Zhaoyan let Yan Ling leave? It’s already helpless to meet the annoying Third Prince. If Yan Ling leaves her alone to deal with the Third Prince, Princess Zhaoyan prefers to die.
“My Lady?” The servant outside doesn’t hear Princess Zhaoyan’s answer and is afraid that something bad might have happened. She raises their voice and asks again.
“Stop shouting! The Third Prince is already here. Just let him in.” Princess Zhaoyan pulls Yan Ling’s sleeve and stops her from leaving, shouting towards the door.
“…” Yan Ling didn’t plan to leave at first, but now seeing the look of Princess Zhaoyan, she really wants to sneak.
“Come on, come on. I can’t leave now even if I want to. You should let go. The Third Prince will come in a minute. Behave yourself.” Says Yan Ling who is held by Princess Zhaoyan.
“What? Do you still want to leave a good impression on him? Remember, you are a married woman!” Princess Zhaoyan raises her eyebrows and looks at Yan Ling.
Yan Ling is speechless for a while. How could she become a “married woman” suddenly? What’s more, even if she hates the Third Prince and does not want to marry him, she doesn’t need to ruin her image in front of him, does she?
“Well, then, what if someone else sees it? Your servants are all standing outside. If they see you like this, how can you save your face as a princess?” Yan Ling tries to persuade her in another way.
Princess Zhaoyan immediately takes back her hand and sits upright in her seat, showing her usual airs. Seeing her quick reaction, Yan Ling is a little shocked.
Not long after they sit down, the door opens and the Third Prince comes in. After they say hello to each other, Liang Yi has been staring at Yan Ling.
His ardent eyes make Yan Ling feel uncomfortable. She hurriedly turns around as if she doesn’t care, only to find Princess Zhaoyan is looking at her.
Yan Ling knows what Princess Zhaoyan means without thinking: I told you that the Third Prince is coming for you. You don’t believe it. Now what do you want to say?
Seeing that the princess doesn’t intend to help, Yan Ling coughs.
Liang Yi didn’t switch off at the beginning, but when he hears her cough, he pretends to just come back to his senses, and his pretence is quite vivid.
“Why do you come to my place, Your Highness?” Princess Zhaoyan has always been like this. So no one thinks it is inappropriate for her to speak such words.
“Actually, I hope you don’t mind, My Lady. I come here because I heard that Ling’er is here.” Liang Yi smiles and doesn’t mind being questioned.
When Yan Ling hears Liang Yi calls her “Ling’er”, she gets goosebumps all over. The Crown Prince also calls her “Ling’er”, but she didn’t feel uncomfortable when he called her that before.
Now hearing Liang Yi call her so intimately, Yan Ling only feels disgusted.
Yan Ling realizes now that Liang Yi comes to see her for a certain purpose. What is the real purpose? If someone suddenly becomes flattering to you, he must have a bad purpose. Anyone understands such a simple principle.
“What do you mean? It seems that I’m just secondary. I booked this room.” When Princess Zhaoyan sees Liang Yi pretends to be affectionate, she only feels sick.
“I don’t mean that. I come for Ling’er for something else. Just come with us if you want.” Liang Yi smiles.
Princess Zhaoyan twitches her mouth and ignores him. Yan Ling keeps silent, drinking tea. Apparently, she doesn’t want to reply to the Third Prince.
The sudden silence embarrasses everyone. However, Liang Yi seems to be unaware of that.
