Both Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling are not familiar with this palace, so they didn’t plan to go very far. Just when they are going back to their seats, they suddenly hear the whispers of several people nearby.
“You said that the Crown Prince will attend today, is it true?” Asks a girl in a pale pink dress, blushing.
“I don’t think so. It’s said that Concubine De and the Crown Prince are not… How could she invite the Crown Prince?” Someone beside says hesitantly.
Another girl says with a triumphant look: “you don’t understand that. How could Concubine De not invite the Crown Prince? But it depends on the Crown Prince. He hasn’t attended this kind of banquet before. ”
“In this case, why does the Crown Prince suddenly accept the invitation?” Asks the girl in pink, puzzled.
In fact, she already figured out that Concubine De has to invite the Crown Prince no matter how much the Emperor favors her and how much she hates the Crown Prince. After all, that is the Crown Prince.
“I don’t know. But the news is true, but my mother told me herself.” There is an undisguised excitement in the tone of the girl who tells them the message.
That’s all the valuable message they hear. Princess Zhaoyan nudges Yan Ling and says, “See, I said he has a lot of peach blossoms.”
Yan Ling smiles helplessly. Although she is a little jealous, she is not really angry. This is probably because Yan Ling understands that she is the only one in Liang He’s heart from the beginning to the end.
“See how excited they are. Don’t they know that you are the one who the Crown Prince comes for?” Princess Zhaoyan curls up her mouth and looks at those young girls with romantic turn of mind.
“Not necessarily, maybe…” Yan Ling just wants to make a joke, but is suddenly interrupted.
“Now that Lady Ling is already here, why didn’t you send someone to look for me?” Liang Yi, dressed in white and shaking a folding fan, slowly comes over.
Zhaoyan princess immediately rolls her eyes. Yan Ling also thinks he is annoying. What’s her relation with him? Why does she have to go to him?
Yan Ling thought that after she slapped him, the Third Prince should hate her so much that he would want to punish her severely. But she didn’t expect that he would come over again as long as he sees her, like an adhesive plaster that cannot be tore off.
Although she feels annoyed, Yan Ling is still polite, and says with a smile: “I guess Your Highness can’t visit Concubine De often. So I thought you must be together. How dare Yan Ling bother? ”
Liang Yi gets such a cold reply, but he doesn’t feel embarrassed at all. He still says with a smile: “Why are you so distant, Ling’er? Just now, my mother said that she wants to meet you. She wants to know what kind of girl you are, so that I’m enchanted… ”
“Your Highness, when I came out today, Shuang’er asked me to tell you that she missed you very much and hoped you could go and see her.” Yan Ling feels sick for what he said and cannot wait for him to finish, so she quickly interrupts.
Liang Yi is somewhat dissatisfied for being suddenly interrupted when he is talking. However, when Yan Ling mentions Yan Shuang, Liang He realizes that he hasn’t seen her for a long time.
“How is Shuang’er doing? It seems that I haven’t seen her for a long time.” Liang Yi asks strangely.
Yan Ling smiles a little. The prime minister was so angry for Yan Shuang stole the jade pendant given by the Emperor. So he grounded his favorite daughter. Yan Shuang had to stay in her own room and was not allowed to go out.
“Shuang’er, she’s still young. She made a mistake which irritated our father. So our father forbade her to go out. If you are free, you’d better visit her more, Your Highness.” Yan Ling doesn’t feel guilty at all for taking Yan Shuang as an excuse.
Liang Yi is slightly surprised at first, and then begins to guess why Yan Ling suddenly mentions this. But in turn, Liang Yi has some other ideas.
Of course Yan Ling won’t mention Yan Shuang to him for no reason, so Liang Yi thinks maybe Yan Ling mentions this at this time with some jealousy because he was close to Yan Shuang before.
“I regard Shuang’er as my sister. I will visit her when I’m free.” Liang Yi smiles at Yan Ling.
The meaning in his words, even a simple person like Princess Zhaoyan can understand, so she immediately rolls her eyes in secret.
Yan Ling is stunned, as if she doesn’t understand what he meant. Because for a long time, Liang Yi and Yan Shuang have been trying to conspire against her. Now Liang Yi suddenly says this, which is a little strange.
However, it’s exactly because Yan Ling hasn’t understood, Liang Yi feels in his heart that Yan Ling actually likes him and all she has done is to attract his attention.
In this way, Liang Yi naturally feels that Yan Ling is jealous for him and Yan Shuang.
Yan Ling doesn’t think of this. Naturally, she feels a little surprised, but she doesn’t know how to answer. The scene is a bit awkward for a while. It seems that if a needle falls on the ground, she could hear it clearly
“Ling’er, why are you here? The banquet is about to start. Will you go back to your seat?” Liang He’s voice comes from behind.
Liang Yi turns back and sees that Liang He is walking this way. Until now, Liang He nods as a greeting as if he has just seen him.
Of course, Liang He saw Liang Yi earlier. Liang He doesn’t like such a banquet which a group of young men and women attend. It looks like a match-making place. He hardly attended all kinds of banquets. As for the one held by Concubine De, of course he will not present himself.
However, Liang He knew from the beginning that Concubine De intended to target Yan Ling. What’s more, Liang Yi is sure to be here this time. He is worried to let Yan Ling get along with him alone.
If Princess Zhaoyan knows that Liang Hagen doesn’t count her as a “human”, she must be really angry.
However, because of these two reasons, and Liang He worries about Yan Ling from all the perspectives, so he feels obliged to come.
This is because Liang He has not heard about Bai Yiyi. If he knows what happened between her and Yan Ling, he must worry about her more.
Because of his identity, no one can blame him even if Liang He comes late. So Liang He gets there exactly at the point when the banquet is about to begin.
The first thing Liang He intends to do is find Yan Ling. Because the banquet is about to begin, most of the people are sitting in their seats.
