Chapter 74: Changing Her Mind

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

At the beginning of the banquet, some desserts are served as usual. After Concubine De finishes talking with everyone present, the main course begins to be served.
When the main dishes are served one by one, Yan Ling feels that something is wrong and understands the meaning of these dishes served. If she’s not mistaken, these dishes are not for people with colds.
Yan Ling didn’t pay attention to the steamed cake made of Lily and plum soup for clearing away heat, then these things can’t be regarded as a coincidence now.
Except for soup cooked with food ingredients that are not suitable for the sick such as mung bean sprouts, water shield, clams and radishes, most of the dishes are either greasy or spicy.
When Yan Ling sees these dishes, she understands that the Third Prince is testing her. So she pretends to drink tea, and looks quietly at the Third Prince. Sure enough, Liang Yi is also secretly looking at her.
Soon Yan Ling lowers her head and smiles back to Liang Yi. Since he has prepared for such a long time, of course, she needs to give him hope.
Yan Ling doesn’t eat those dishes directly. Instead, she picks out those “edible dishes” as if she is really suffering from cold. Yan Ling is doing this on purpose for Liang Yi.
Liang Yi’s expression tells her that he is fooled. But it’s not enough for him to make sure. Being narrow-minded and suspicious is his fatal defect sometimes.
“Lady Ling, would you like to have a taste of this mung bean sprouts? My mother particularly asked the cook to prepare it. Maybe you will like its taste.” Liang Yi says to Yan Ling with a smile.
Concubine De is surprised to hear this. Yesterday, Liang Yi came to her and said that he would help her to prepare the banquet actively, so he took over the meal preparation. As for what dishes to be prepared, she didn’t know at all.
However, Concubine De cannot say this in public to embarrass her son. She guesses that Liang Yi wants to take this opportunity to talk to Yan Ling, so Concubine De echoes with a smile.
“I prefer light food recently and feel that they have special flavors. Yi’er hardly asks for anything, so Lady Ling must try it.” Concubine De says calmly.
At this time, Yan Ling doesn’t need to hide anything, so she nods and picks out a little mung bean sprouts from the plate that she hasn’t touched, and eats them gracefully.
“You are right, My Lady. It does have a special flavor.” Yan Ling says with a smile after tasting.
“Lady Ling, why don’t you try…” Liang Yi suggests again.
No matter which dishes Liang Yi suggests, Yan Ling eats them one by one. At this time, anyone would have some doubts about their original conjecture, and forget it.
However, Liang Yi is different. The more Yan Ling behaves like this, the more he can’t understand. He is not willing to believe that what he has believed is wrong. Therefore, Liang Yi asks Yan Ling to eat other dishes.
Liang He doesn’t say anything at first, but later, he is not calm.
Maybe there is no difference to other. However, Yan Ling knows Liang He very well and she can clearly feel that Liang He is no longer happy.
It is not appropriate for Liang He to stop Liang Yi in this situation. As a real insider, Liang He understands why Liang Yi is doing this.
可是,即便明知如此,梁赫却依然可以觉得心中有翻涌的怒气.不至于说是醋坛子打翻了,却总是觉得心里不舒服.
特别是,在梁赫发现言凌丝毫没有拒绝梁奕的打算,将梁奕说的那些菜,一个个吃了个遍.
However, even though he knows this, Liang He could still feel his anger surging up in his heart. It’s not because of jealousy, but he always feels uncomfortable in his heart.
Especially Liang He notices that Yan Ling has no intention to refuse Liang Yi, and eats all the dishes that he points out.
They are not the only persons who attend the banquet. At this time, Yan Ling is the focus of attention. And Liang Yi is doing this without caring about others’ opinions, which naturally surprises them.
People saw how intimate the Crown Prince and Yan Ling were. Now, there is a Third Prince who is so concerned about Yan Ling.
Many people envy and hate at the same time, but also want to watch how two princes fight for a woman.
At the beginning, Concubine De thought that her son wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yan Ling. But she gradually feels more and more wrong.
Hearing the discussion of the crowd, and seeing that someone looks over there from time to time, Concubine De cannot help looking a little ugly.
In the memory of Concubine De, her son can never be such an impulsive person. What is the matter now?
Is it true that, as many people have guessed, he is competing with the Crown Prince in public? Thinking of this, Concubine De’s face turns dark again.
“Ahem…” Concubine De coughs slightly, which finally awakens the Third Prince. It seems that he finally realizes how unwise he was, and the Third Prince immediately does not continue.
Just like all mother-in-laws in the world who are biased against their daughter-in-laws, it is inevitable that Concubine De has this idea, although Yan Ling is not her daughter-in-law yet.
However, according to Liang Yi’s previous statement, he has really made up his mind to marry Yan Ling.
Therefore, even if all people can see that Yan Ling clearly didn’t do anything and it is the Third Prince who is eagerly attentive to Yan Ling.
However, Concubine De still feels that Yan Ling is a disaster and enchants the two princes. Originally, she thought that as long as her son likes Yan Ling, even if she doesn’t like her, it doesn’t matter.
However, at this moment, Concubine De doesn’t think like that anymore. She doesn’t know what kind of means Yan Ling used to fascinate the two Princes, but she is very clear, and her son is not like that usually.
Concubine De can’t help thinking that it is indeed a trouble if after Yan Ling and her son get married, Liang Yi still treats her like this.
It is said that beauty is disaster. What’s more, unless she knows what kind of idea her son had for Yan Ling, then maybe there will be someone else who tries to use the same method against Liang Yi.
Concubine De knows that she may have thought too much, but she also feels that she has to be alert for what may happen in the future. So now Concubine De is against the marriage that she has acquiesced in.
And Concubine De is not the only one who has this idea.
