"I'm fine..." Sensing people’s stare, Yan Ling feels very uncomfortable and says with her head lowered.

Hearing that Yan Ling is ok, Liang He measures Yan Ling with his eyes carefully again, and then turns around to sooth everyone. Then he gave the horse that almost hit Yan Ling a piercing stare.

Yintong seems to realize that its master is very dissatisfied with it now. It lowers its head with grievances. It loses its excitement and rubs Yan Ling from time to time.

Yan Ling feels that’s funny. She reaches out and touches Yintong's head, then turns to Liang He, "It was just an accident, Your Highness. Besides, Yintong didn't hurt anyone, so let it go. "

"Yintong?" Liang He says the name again strangely.

Yan Ling suddenly feels embarrassed. After she blurted out the name "Yintong", she says it more and more fluently and accidentally called it out in front of Liang He. However, her slip of tongue didn’t make Liang suspicious.

"Is this the name you give it? I've been thinking about what its name should be. Now it seems that it likes the name very much." Liang He smiles.

Yan Ling feels embarrassed for a while. She doesn't know what to say, but thinks secretly, "because this is its name to start with."

"You are Yan Ling?" Princess Zhaoyan has just came back to her senses and cries out in surprise.

Yan Ling curtsies to Princess Zhaoyan and says with a very decent smile, "Yes, Your Highness."

Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t respond. She just looks at Yan Ling carefully. Princess Zhaoyan doesn't understand why Yan Shuang told her that this woman was extremely scheming and mean, which she doesn't think so.

However, Yuling, the maid of Princess Zhaoyan keeps reminding her of the old saying that one may know a man's exterior but not his heart. Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoyan doesn't say anything else, instead she just snorts coldly.

It was not until now that Yan Ling has a chance to look at Princess Zhaoyan carefully. Suddenly, she feels that maybe the hearsay is untrustworthy. Princess Zhaoyan might be indulgent and willful, but she is more of a simple and naïve young lady instead of the unreasonable girl they’ve mentioned.

Seeing Princess Zhaoyan's slightly messy hair and remembering that she was just lying on the horse's back, Yan Ling suddenly feels funny and chuckles unconsciously.

However, the smile is noticed by Princess Zhaoyan immediately. Subconsciously, she thinks Yan Ling is laughing at her, and she suddenly flushed.

"What are you laughing at?" Princess Zhaoyan says angrily.

Yan Ling almost understands the temper of Princess Zhaoyan, and answers calmly: "I've heard that Princess Zhaoyan has a forthright disposition and doesn't care about trifles. Today, I know that is a well-deserved reputation."

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Yan Ling does mean it. Princess Zhaoyan is not unreasonable as people said. Hearing the praise, Princess Zhaoyan blushes unconsciously and doesn't know what to say.

However, she unconsciously appreciates Yan Ling. Princess Zhaoyan has always been fond of wielding swords and riding horses, which is very different from common young girls.

Although no one dares to criticize a princess, there is much criticism behind her. There is finally someone who praises her sincerely, how can she not be happy?

However, Princess Zhaoyan unconsciously sees Yan Shuang behind Yan Ling, and suddenly remembers that she has promised Yan Shuang to torture Yan Ling at the banquet.

Princess Zhaoyan feels more ambivalent at the thought of this.

"Well, it's almost time. Let’s come in." Liang He raises his eyebrows and looks around.

From the beginning, Liang He hasn’t spoken to Princess Zhaoyan at all, which surprises Yan Ling a little. Anyway, Princess Zhaoyan is the hostess, so there is no reason to ignore her.

Seeing that Liang He takes Yan Ling away, Princess Zhaoyan can't help but snort coldly and complain in a low voice: "hum, stingy man. Don't think that I don't know you like her. Just a few words of compliment for me, look at your face...

"What are you saying, Your Highness?" Yan Shuang comes up and asks in a low voice.

"Nothing, let's get in." Princess Zhaoyan is a little embarrassed.

Yan Shuang is still holding her arm closely. However, surprisingly, Princess Zhaoyan is a little upset this time.

Because her first impression of Yan Ling is rather good, Princess Zhaoyan can't help recalling the Yan Ling described by Yan Shuang, who is very different from the one she saw. Unconsciously, Princess Zhaoyan frowns.

In such a short time, Princess Zhaoyan has some doubts about her long-time good friend Yan Shuang.

However, Yan Shuang doesn't know about that. If Yan Shuang really knows that she has been trying her best to please the princess for such a long time, but Yan Ling did a better job with just a few words, she would gnash her teeth in rage.

There are a lot of people in the banquet hall. Princess Zhaoyan naturally sits in the hostess seat, while Yan Shuang walks to Yan Ling and sits down.

When Princess Zhaoyan sees this, she frowns involuntarily and feels a little confused. If you hate a person, shouldn't you steer clear of her? Why does Yan Shuang sit beside Yan Ling voluntarily?

The banquet hasn’t begun. Princess Zhaoyan is a little bored and her mind is wandering.

Involuntarily, she thinks of the Yan Ling that Yan Shuang has been describing to her.

Yan Ling should be a very scheming lady. She has been bullying Yan Shuang secretly all the time. But she pretends to be a caring elder sister in front of everyone.

Living with such a sister for a long time, Yan Shuang has been wronged and aggrieved since childhood. Moreover, there is no one she can confide in, because other people think that Lady Ling in the Prime Minister's House is not only knowledgeable but also an adequate sister.

When saying these to Princess Zhaoyan, Yan Shuang couldn't stop sobbing. As soon as Princess Zhaoyan hears these, she immediately becomes furious and says that she would help Yan Shuang seek revenge.

Princess Zhaoyan has a straight temperament, and always hates those hypocrites. She can't control her anger when she meets someone like that. What's more, this woman has been bullying her friends all the time.

According to the original intention of Princess Zhaoyan, she was going straight to the Prime Minister's House to uphold justice for Yan Shuang, but Yan Shuang stopped her. She said that the most important thing for her sister was her decency. If she can be embarrassed in public, it would be the best.

Princess Zhaoyan hesitated because she didn't want to pursue others to the brutal end. However, looking at Yan Shuang’s aggrieved face and tearful eyes, Princess Zhaoyan was determined to lend a hand.

However, now Princess Zhaoyan feels uncomfortable. Although she is simple, she is not stupid. She thinks that Yan Ling would not be such a person.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Princess Zhaoyan suddenly hears that someone is calling for her, and hurriedly draw her attention back.
