No matter how deep and shrewd the emperor's grandson is, he is still a fifteen-year-old boy, and he is a boy who has been coddled by everyone and does not dare to disobey in the slightest.
The so-called moodiness is because when someone falls out, it means someone is going to be unlucky.
The so-called uncertainty is because his mood can determine the fate of those around him.
When someone was not afraid of his identity and responded with sharp words, he didn't know how to react other than being angry.
You can't just order someone to mess with you like you do with the guards and maids!
You can't lose your temper like you did when you reprimanded the subordinate officials of the East Palace!
Ling Jingshu deliberately acted humble again, hiding her sarcasm under a mask of respect... He couldn't even find a reason to be angry!
The emperor's grandson pursed his thin lips tightly, without any unnecessary expression on his face: "Just know how to advance and retreat."
The voice was flat and there was no hint of anger.
Wang Tong complained secretly in his heart.
Ling Jingshu didn't seem to notice the turbulent anger under the calm surface of the Emperor Taisun, and said humbly and politely: "We, my sister and the brother, retreated first, so as not to disturb His Highness the Grand Sun's good mood."
... The emperor's grandson continued to say expressionlessly: "I allow you to resign."
Everyone could see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very unhappy.
The invisible pressure makes people breathless. The air also seemed to have stopped flowing, stagnant and dull.
Ling Jingshu smiled and bowed with Ling Xiao before leaving. Then turned and left.
Although Ling Jingshu was the one who left first, everyone knew very well that in the battle of words, temperament and even heart, the one who lost was definitely not Ling Jingshu!
... ...
Jiang and Ling Ji quickly looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness and bitter smile in each other's eyes.
Ling Ji gritted his teeth and apologized: "Your Highness, Grandson, Ah Shu was born and raised in Dingzhou since childhood. She rarely leaves the inner house on weekdays. She was spoiled by her grandmother and developed a willful temper. Her words were out of proportion, which made Your Highness unhappy. .Please, Your Highness Haihan, don’t argue with her..."
It’s over!
How can you persuade me like this!
Doesn't this clearly tell His Highness Taisun that everyone saw that he was at a disadvantage just now? His Royal Highness Taisun is a arrogant person who cares about face the most... It would be weird if he didn't really fall out now!
Wang Tong's back was covered in cold sweat as he winked at Ling Ji repeatedly.
"Wang Tong, is there sand in your eyes? Or are you having cramps?" The cold voice of the emperor's grandson suddenly sounded in Wang Tong's ears.
Come on, this fire was not directed at the Ling family, but was burned at him, an innocent fish in the pond.
Wang Tong lamented in his heart, but his body reacted one step faster than his mind, and he immediately knelt down with a plop: "It's all my fault, please punish me, Your Highness."
The emperor's grandson looked over with a smile but not a smile: "Oh? Where did you go wrong?"
"My subordinate is winking behind His Highness's back and has lost the dignity and dignity of the East Palace guard. He should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!" Wang Tong was very careless, and his apology was even more sincere.
The emperor's grandson's face softened slightly: "For the sake of your sincerity in admitting your mistake, the punishment will be lighter. Within half a day, the ship's deck will be wiped clean."
The dignified commander of the imperial guards of the East Palace was kneeling to wipe the ship's planks... It was so embarrassing!
Wang Tong secretly sighed that he was unlucky, but he did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately thanked him: "I accept the order, and thank Your Highness for not killing."
Ling Ji Jiang's Ling Jingyan: "..."
With the lessons learned from the past, Jiang didn't even dare to flirt with Ling Ji in front of His Highness Taisun. She mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, the ship will be sailing to Qichen soon, so we have to leave first."
The emperor's grandson gave a faint hum, which was regarded as approval.
Ling Ji and his wife led Ling Jingyan, who was covered in cold sweat, to retreat.
... ...
"Ah Shu, you have been wronged because of me again."
As soon as he returned to the cabin, Ling Xiao, who had been holding back the whole journey, couldn't wait to blame himself: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to ask for help, and you wouldn't have to suffer from the supercilious look of your grandson."
Ling Jingshu smiled and patted Ling Xiao's shoulder gently: "Axiao, you made a mistake this time. The person who is sullen is not me, but the noble and moody His Highness the Grandson. "
Ling Xiao still looked gloomy: "I know you fought back... But no matter what, he was the one who bullied others too much. It's just that he didn't want to help, and he also had to put on a condescending face and be sarcastic. It's really It’s irritating.”
The embarrassment of that moment was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he would probably never forget it in his life.
Ling Jingshu chuckled and said slowly: "Your Highness, the grandson, is feeling depressed and angry but can't get angry. If you think about this more, you will feel better."
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and grinned.
After a while, he whispered worriedly: "Ah Shu, what if the emperor's grandson is a narrow-minded person who spends money more than he wants, and takes the opportunity to cause trouble for us in the future?"
It's really depressing to say this.
But there is a huge difference in their identities, and it is an undoubted fact that their siblings can suffer a lot with just a move of their fingers.
Ling Jingshu's tone was still calm and indifferent: "Don't worry. The prince is weak and has been practicing meditation. The emperor has to take care of the East Palace, be on guard against open and covert arrows, learn to handle political affairs, and deal with a bunch of people with ulterior motives. The emperor's uncles are fighting back and forth...how can they find time to cause trouble for us?"
Furthermore, in her opinion, although the emperor's grandson had a bad temper, he refused to lose his temper easily to outsiders and had to maintain a high airs...
How dare you, your majestic grandson, have the nerve to argue with a girl in a boudoir
To put it simply, it means saving face.
She just responded like that on purpose. Firstly, he was sulking, and secondly, he wanted to test the emperor's grandson's temper. The more important point is to use this matter to deepen her impression and weight in his heart.
She wanted him to see her vigor and sharpness, and only then could she be accepted by joining the East Palace to take revenge. Otherwise, if the grand grandson doesn't have the kind of talent he wants, how can he look at her seriously
Of course, there is no need to tell Ling Xiao about these secret thoughts.
"In the next few days, we will stay away from him as long as we don't see him." Ling Jingshu smiled and reassured Ling Xiao: "He will never come to our ship to settle accounts with us."
This is true.
Ling Xiao nodded, with a smile on his face again: "Okay, we will arrive in the capital in a few days. By then we will live in the uncle's house, and there will be no chance of contact with His Highness Taisun. As time goes by, he will naturally I will forget this part of the festival.”
Ling Jingshu agreed casually: "Yes, just don't interact with each other in the future."
How is it possible without contact!
She just had to wait until she figured out the emperor's temperament and weaknesses before looking for a suitable opportunity to surrender.
