Chapter 57: Flower Market

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

“I keep both of you on my side. You need to get well along and learn from each other’s merits. You two should remember what I said tonight and support each other in the future.” Yan Ling says seriously.
Liyi is straightforward and lively. She can influence Qingyu to some extent. On the other hand, Qingyu can also teach Liyi to be gentle and steady.
After all, they are just at the beginning, and the real storm has not yet come. In the future, the people she trusts also need to be capable.
If anything happens, they will be the two closest persons to Yan Ling. Therefore, they must be able to handle affairs and stay calm in case of emergencies.
Liyi and Qingyu look at each other, then smile and nod. A series of things in this period of time is troublesome enough. It’s best if they can settle down.
It’s a pity that Concubine De is obviously not going to let them do it. At the thought of this banquet, Yan Ling feels a headache.
But fortunately, the banquet is three days later. Tomorrow, they have a chance to go out. Thinking of Liang He “see you tomorrow”, Yan Ling smiles again.
“What are you thinking about, My Lady? Frowning and smiling. Don’t tell me you are thinking about some childe. If His Highness knows, he will be upset.”
Liyi has returned to normal. Seeing Yan Ling’s appearance, she makes fun of her.
Yan Ling hasn’t seen Liyi as happy as now for a long time. Slightly moved, Yan Ling looks at Liyi seriously.
“I have a very important thing to say.” Yan Ling looks serious.
“What’s the matter, My Lady?” Liyi asks, a little nervously.
Yan Ling suddenly smiles and says slowly, “I’m going to go out tomorrow.”
After a short pause, Yan Ling adds, “in men’s clothes.”
When she hears this, Liyi’s eyes light up. When Yan Ling and Liyi first tried men’s clothes, Liyi was uncomfortable, but later she had a good time.
Liyi has been in a bad mood, and has been kept in the House. Now, knowing that they can go out tomorrow, she is very happy and almost unable to hold herself.
At this time, Yan Ling’s smile becomes more brilliant, but suddenly she jokingly says, “But I just decided not to take you.”
Liyi is stunned at first, and then understands that Yan Ling is showing her dissatisfaction because she just made fun of her. All of a sudden, Liyi shows her grievance,
“I said nonsense, My Lady. I already know my fault. Please take me out.” As Liyi says it, she twists her mouth. It seems that as long as Yan Ling says no, she could immediately cry.
Yan Ling shakes her head and says softly, “it’s OK to take you out, but before you go out tomorrow, remember to get your clothes ready, and we’ll give His Highness a surprise.”
When Yan Ling says this, she suddenly assumes a mischievous smile, as if she is planning something funny.
The next day, Liang He who sees Yan Ling becomes stiff. It seems that it’s very hard for him to accept the new image of Yan Ling.
Liyi wonders why His Highness has that expression today. He saw Yan Ling in men’s suit before. However, soon, Liyi understands it completely.
There are many young couples, hand in hand, walking along the flower market, and the combination of Liang He and Yan Ling is very eye-catching.
Liyi and Qingyu are dressed as servants. They obviously follow their masters, so they don’t attract much attention.
But Liang He and Yan Ling are different. Liang He’s appearance is first-class. And Yan Ling is also a pretty boy when she is in men’s clothes. Each one of them is very noticeable in the crowd, let alone that they are standing together.
It is said that people can find a perfect match in this flower market. Therefore, people who are hanging out here are young couples, or girls who have reached the age of marriage. It’s rare to have two young men come here together like Liang He and Yan Ling.
Yan Ling is gentle and generous in women’s dress, and she is delicate and pretty in men’s clothes instead of being sissy. So no one finds out that this young man is actually a girl.
Along the way, many girls, and young couples walking together stare them strangely, and do not conceal their confusion or pity.
Maybe some resentment. After all, two noble young men, how can they be……
Liang He was unhappy when he first received people’s attention. But later, seeing Yan Ling’s smile, he guessed that she was intentional.
Although Liang He feels helpless for Yan Ling’s sudden mischief, he is more indulgent for her.
Later, somehow Liang He holds Yan Ling’s hand and walks forward regardless of others’ stare.
This suddenly makes Yan Ling a little overwhelmed. According to Yan Ling’s original idea, she did it for teasing Liang He.
As a result, Liang He outfoxes her instead. Yan Ling is at a loss.
Looking at the two maids behind her, who are trying to suppress their laughter, Yan Ling feels ashamed and annoyed. She lowers her head and dare not look around again.
“Ling’er, weren’t you very happy? Why do you suddenly lower your head? Are you shy…?” Liang He deliberately whispers to Yan Ling’s ear and says with a smile.
Yan Ling can feel the heat of his breath, and gets a little itchy on her neck. She twists her neck uneasily. Although she blushes, she raises her head and walks with Liang He as if she doesn’t care at all.
At the beginning, of course, Yan Ling is not used to it. Later, she is attracted by so many interesting things in the flower market that she forgets about it. As for other people’s opinions, Liang He and Yan Ling don’t pay much attention.
The ways other people think of them do not represent who they are. You can never stop others’ judgments. As long as no one curses them in front of them, why should they care?
The flower market is really lively. After a half stroll, Yan Ling feels tired. After talking to Liang He, they plan to rent a boat and have a lake cruise.
To be honest, it is still a little hot. It’s very comfortable to have a cool breeze on the lake.
However, if Yan Ling knew that she would fall into the water in a short time, would she go on this boat again?
