Chapter 72: Stubbornness

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

It is not difficult to find Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling. Liang He stands there to looks around, and then he sees Yan Ling and Princess Zhaoyan are standing together and talking about something.
When Liang He saw Yan Ling, he was still on the other side of the lake. He didn’t rush to see them because he noted that they were about to come back to their seats. However, suddenly Liang Yi came to them.
When Liang He saw Liang Yi, his face was not good. Now in this situation, Liang He must go to them anyway.
Thinking that Liang Yi knocked Yan Ling into the lake, Liang He feels a burst of anger.
Although Liang He knows that Liang Yi cannot be sure of Yan Ling’s identity, which does not mean that he is forgivable.
What’s more, even if he is not sure, Liang Yi has some conjectures. The reason he did that is just to test her. However, it’s hard for anyone to accept that someone ignore others’ life in order to achieve their own goals.
“I didn’t expect to see you here, brother. I thought you didn’t like these kinds of occasions.” Liang Yi is not too surprised for Liang He’s appearance. It is an unexpected but reasonable thing.
“I haven’t been busy recently. So I came here for fun. Am I not welcomed, brother?” While Liang He says, he moves to the front of Yan Ling and hides her behind him.
“How can it be? Besides, my mother is the host this time, and I am just a guest.” Liang Yi pretends to be careless, but he bites his teeth in his heart.
“In this case, I’ll take Ling’er to their seats, excuse me.” Liang He doesn’t plan to be to talk more with Liang Yi here. After saying this, he leads Yan Ling and Princess Zhaoyan to the place where his seat is.
Liang Yi smiles to show he understands, and makes way for them as if he doesn’t care. Liang Yi knows that he can’t do anything because Liang He is here, and the banquet is about to start.
It’s okay if it’s hosted by anyone else. But this one is prepared by Concubine De. No matter what, Liang Yi cannot embarrass his own mother. If they start a quarrel in that situation, no one can end in comfort.
However, looking at them leaving, Liang Yi slightly raises his lips and says with a slight smile, “I will figure out if that person is you.”
Liang Yi thinks about it carefully. As soon as Yan Ling sees him, her expression is somehow unnatural, and it seems that she wants to cover up something.
Liang Yi suspected that Yan Ling may be Yun Shen. In addition, Yan Ling hasn’t gone out of her room for a few days, and Liang Yi’s suspicions increases.
Normally, if Yan Ling is Yun Shen, she cannot be fully recovered now. Then he can know it if he observes her carefully at the banquet.
“What did he say to you?” As soon as they go away, Liang He could not help asking.
When Yan Ling sees Liang He’s like this, she just feels funny. Princess Zhaoyan is already holding her smile and ready to stir up the flame.
“Where did you go? The Third Prince came to Yan Ling and asked her, ‘why didn’t you come to me?’ as long as he left Concubine De.” This question is ambiguous enough. In addition to Princess Zhaoyan’s exaggeration, Liang He’s face darkens again.
Yan Ling quietly glares at Princess Zhaoyan, then turns to Liang He, “it’s nothing. I guess he must want to test me. This is just the beginning. I’m afraid the most important thing will come later. I don’t know what they’re going to do.”
Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t know about these things. Now she is a little curious. Yan Ling tells her the whole thing.
“Man’s clothes!” Princess Zhaoyan cries out in surprise. However, before she finishes, she suddenly realizes something and lowers her voice.
“It’s not that I blame you, Yan Ling. Do you take me as your best friend? You hang out in man’s clothes and you didn’t invite me!” Surprised, Princess Zhaoyan says with some dissatisfaction.
Princess Zhaoyan has done this kind of thing a lot since her childhood. However, in the eyes of Princess Zhaoyan, Yan Ling has always been a good girl.
All of a sudden, she hears that Yan Ling has done this, and she cannot help wondering what Yan Ling would look like when she is dressed like a man.
“My Lady, you’ve been busy every day and night. How can I ask you to play with me?” Yan Ling holds back a smile and pretends to be serious.
“You make fun of me on purpose!” Says Princess Zhaoyan angrily.
To be honest, Princess Zhaoyan has nothing serious to do and she is really idle. In addition, she is still unmarried and free, so sometimes, she feels a little bored.
Because she was annoyed by Yan Ling, Princess Zhaoyan turns to Liang He and says, “Look. You stayed with Yan Ling, but you didn’t protect her. The Crown Prince is actually of no use.”
Liang He is not comfortable because of this. Now Princess Zhaoyan blames him for this in public, so he is angry and helpless. However, it is still his fault. Even if he wants to refute it, he can’t.
“It’s really my fault this time. It’s my negligence. It won’t happen again.” Liang He does not take what Princess Zhaoyan said as a joke but says seriously.
“Easier said than done. Everyone makes promises…” Princess Zhaoyan subconsciously refutes, which, in nature, is her habit but she doesn’t mean bad.
Hearing this, Yan Ling immediately pulls her sleeve to stop her from saying.
Although she knows that Princess Zhaoyan has no malice, and usually Liang He would not care too much about it.
But Yan Ling can see that since the last accident, Liang He has a shadow in his heart. Yan Ling knows that Liang He always feels that she fell into the water because he didn’t protect her.
Yan Ling has told him that it is not related to Liang He, but the Crown Prince, who is extremely clever and praised by the public, seems to be stubborn on this issue and doesn’t accept any explanation.
Yan Ling thought that after a while, Liang He would not care it so much. But she didn’t expect that Zhaoyan Princess suddenly mentioned this.
Looking at Liang He’s serious and firm expression, Yan Ling feels being loved as well as a little helpless.
