“Everything. Everything can be related to him because of you.” Yan Ling rolls her eyes helplessly.
Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t get angry this time, but pats Yan Ling on her shoulder and says with sincere words and earnest wishes: “no wonder. He is stuck with you all the day. You are more and more like him now.”
When Yan Ling hears this, she cannot help blush. It will be good if this time they can spend the quite life together.
However, Yan Ling just thinks about it now, because she knows that the most difficult thing is to have a normal plain life because Liang He is the Crown Prince. Even if they want, there are other people watching them with hostility.
Sometimes when Yan Ling is alone at night, she would think whether it would be better to let go of all hatred and thoughts and leave here with Liang He.
However, such an idea will be denied by Yan Ling immediately. Let alone the fact that Liang He has worked hard for so many years, even if he is willing to give up everything for her, Liang Yi will never let him go.
In this case, if she wants to live a happy life, there is only one way—to become stronger, to guard her own happiness and not to be threatened by others.
“We are almost there. What are you thinking about?” Princess Zhaoyan sees Yan Ling’s expression changes from bewilderment to firmness, and asks her curiously.
“Nothing, let’s go.” Yan Ling smiles and blames herself for thinking nonsense again. Even if she wants to escape, she has no chance from the beginning.
Because of the sultry weather, Concubine De sets the banquet at the lakeside of her palace.
It is true that Concubine De is the Emperor’s favorite concubine. She is only a common concubine, but her palace is bigger than the imperial concubine’s.
They don’t know where the water in the lake comes from, but when they come near, they feel cool. It’s very pleasant on such a hot day.
As soon as Princess Zhaoyan arrives here, she is surprised to find there is no one around. She could not help muttering: “this woman really knows how to enjoy herself. She dresses herself like a goblin at such an old age.”
Yan Ling feels funny, but she still pretends to be serious and reaches out to knock on Princess Zhaoyan’s forehead.
“Don’t you know that walls have ears? What’s more, we are in her palace. You cannot say things like that in front of so many people here. If you say that, someone may hear you.” Yan Ling says, trying to suppress her smile.
“What are you afraid of? There are only us here? They are so far away, I don’t believe they could hear us unless they have clairaudience.” After hearing this, Princess Zhaoyan looks around carefully, but still says this stubbornly.
Yan Ling shakes her head and smiles. She knows Princess Zhaoyan’s temper. Although she is careless, she is not rash. So she doesn’t continue this topic, instead, she begins to observe the surroundings.
Soon, Yan Ling finds Bai Yiyi who just blocked her on the road. Now Bai Yiyi is sitting in a chair not far away, looking at Yan Ling with a gnashing look.
Yan Ling sees that she is treated with such an attitude, but she doesn’t get angry or annoyed. On the contrary, the smile on her face is bigger. Yan Ling, with a brilliant smile on her face, nods towards Bai Yiyi like an old acquaintance.
Seeing that that Yan Ling doesn’t care about her at all and provokes her in public, Bai Yiyi is furious and almost couldn’t bear it.
Just as Bai Yiyi is about to stand up and rush over, someone beside her suddenly holds her hand under the table. That hand is cold, which makes Bai Yiyi feel a thrill, and immediately she calms down.
Princess Zhaoyan sees that Yan Ling doesn’t speak to her, but turns and smiles, then she becomes curious.
As far as Princess Zhaoyan knows, Yan Ling doesn’t have any friends among all the ladies in the capital, so who does she see now?
Princess Zhaoyan is just a few steps away from Yan Ling. Now she steps forward and looks where Yan Ling is standing, and naturally, she sees Bai Yiyi there.
Princess Zhaoyan understands immediately, then she notices another girl in a light yellow dress sitting next to Bai Yiyi. But her head is lowered, so Princess Zhaoyan cannot tell who she is.
Seeing this scene, what else does Princess Zhaoyan not understand? Yan Ling is smiling at Bai Yiyi, so Princess Zhaoyan can’t help but observe the smile on Yan Ling’s face.
Tut Tut, it is really brilliant, so brilliant that it scares people.
However, people sitting on the other side don’t feel the same way as Princess Zhaoyan does. On the contrary, she glares at Yan Ling without knowing that she has already lost in terms of her imposing manner.
When Princess Zhaoyan sees that Bai Yiyi is still unrepentant, although she has been taught a lesson. She immediately feels ridiculous for that and steps forward, looking over there in front of Yan Ling.
As soon as she has eye contact with Princess Zhaoyan, Bai Yiyi remembers what just happened at the gate of the palace. Immediately, her face turns pale and involuntarily lowers her head.
No matter how ignorant she is, Bai Yiyi has heard that Princess Zhaoyan can’t be offended. And in terms of status alone, how can she compare with her?
However, Bai Yiyi forgets that she is far lower that Yan Ling in terms of status, too.
Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t want her good friend to stare with a crazy woman here. So she turns around and takes Yan Ling to another place.
The party hasn’t started yet. Most people are strolling around the garden in groups, and only few of them are sitting in their seats. Therefore, Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling do not look noticeable.
“Why did you compete with that crazy woman? Is staring so interesting?” Princess Zhaoyan says with some dissatisfaction.
Although Princess Zhaoyan is clear about Yan Ling’s character, it does not prevent her from having her own opinions and doing things according of her own accord.
Princess Zhaoyan thinks that if she were Yan Ling, she would teach that girl a lesson, even if it is not appropriate to start a dispute in such a situation. That’s why everyone says that it is not wise to provoke Princess Zhaoyan.
Yan Ling smiles bitterly and shakes her head. Maybe the banquet of Concubine De is designed for her. In this situation, she should not start more troubles.
Moreover, according to Yan Ling’s character, she won’t do such a thing as long as others do not use any despicable means to provoke her. It doesn’t harm if she just stares.
However, Yan Ling knows clearly that Princess Zhaoyan has her own way of dealing with people. She says that only because she is worried about her.
