Originally, Jing Ling was a presence that was difficult to ignore when standing in the crowd. Now she hugged Wen Momo and kissed her in public, which made many people around her become agitated.
Wen Momo's face turned red after being kissed by him. She raised her head from his arms and whispered: "My parents are here, brother, do you want..."
Jing Ling said "hmm", gently touched the back of her neck with his hand, and said, "Hug her for a while longer."
Wen Momo always felt that Brother Jingling was a little weird today, because she was always the one clinging to Brother Jingling, but now Brother Jingling was hugging her and seemed more reluctant to separate than she was.
But what Wen Momo had to admit was that she liked... very much her brother's nostalgic hug.
Because at times like this, Wen Momo would feel that she was the treasure in brother Jing Ling's heart.
Jing Ling hugged her for a while, then took her hand and went over to greet Wen Youyi and the others. Wen Youyi also prepared seats for them, and they sat down next to each other.
Wen Momo boldly leaned on Jing Ling's shoulder, hugged his arm, and explained the program on stage to Jing Ling.
"I understand."
"Then don't read too much. I want to talk to my brother."
"… good."
…
Ru was bored to death after listening for a while, so he ran to sit on the other side of Wen Youyi, and then whispered: "Why do I feel like Jing Ling is being eaten to death by our stupid Momo?"
Wen Youyi slightly raised her lips and said, "Isn't this a normal thing?"
Ruwei held Wen Youyi's finger and thought for a moment, thinking that she had underestimated the charm of her own Momo.
At that time, on the other side, the program had already progressed to a later stage, and it was finally time for the eighth class to perform on stage. Before going on stage, Sheng Ling secretly ran to the high stage to take a look around, but the one she prepared for Ayan The seat is always empty, and Ayan hasn't come yet.
Sheng Ling couldn't explain how she felt in her heart, but she just felt very uncomfortable. There was always a bad feeling in her heart.
But now that the performance is imminent, Sheng Ling has no way to leave, so he can only bite the bullet and go on stage, thinking that after the performance is over, he can go back to the princess mansion to see what happens.
She thought to herself that Ayan might not have come to see her because she was feeling unwell.
Sheng Ling and Ji Shi's performance was very successful, and they unanimously won the warmest applause from everyone in the audience. The emperor and empress even praised them.
Sheng Ling got off the stage without taking off her makeup, and just went to find her father, the emperor, and her empress.
It was also the first time that Ji Xili saw his daughter in such a make-up. She was as delicate and beautiful as if she had stepped out of a landscape painting. He couldn't help but hugged Sheng Ling, touched her head and said, "Our little princess It looks great today.”
It was rare for Sheng Ling to be praised by his mother, and he felt a little embarrassed, "My mother is so good-looking, so Ling'er is good-looking."
Ji Xili couldn't help laughing, and turned around to look at Sheng Zhiyu. Sheng Zhiyu seemed to understand what she was going to say, and nodded with a smile: "If you put it this way, I am the most blessed."
Sheng Ling touched her nose embarrassedly and saw Qiao Ran and baby Xiao Zhou sitting on the other side. She couldn't help but go over and hug baby Xiao Zhou. Xiao Zhou was a soft and waxy ball and smelled good in her arms. Sheng Ling He couldn't help but kiss Xiaozhou: "Sister-in-law, did Xiaozhou watch it just now?"
Qiao Ran curled his lips slightly and nodded: "I held him and watched. Xiaozhou was very happy to watch."
Sheng Ling rolled his eyes, "Hey, where is my brother? Why isn't he here?"
"Originally I was going to come, but then I sent someone to say there was something unexpected, so Xiaozhou and I were asked to come over first."
After hearing Qiao Ran's words, Sheng Ling blinked her eyes and said "oh" without thinking much.
Not long after she held Xiaozhou, Xiaozhou asked her mother to hold her. Shengling was afraid that she had hurt Xiaozhou, so she felt like holding the baby to Qiao Ran. She said helplessly: "Well, sister-in-law, I'll go first." Go change clothes."
Qiao Ran nodded and said yes.
Sheng Ling returned to the yard and changed her clothes. Before she could take off the makeup on her face, she heard a knock on the door from outside. Sheng Ling's heart skipped a beat and she quickly got up and ran out to open the door without thinking. But when the door opened, what he saw was the butler of the princess mansion.
The housekeeper walked in a hurry, as if something had happened. Before Sheng Ling could ask anything, he hurriedly said, "Princess, Ayan was taken away by the Crown Prince's people!"
Sheng Ling was stunned, stagnant in place for a moment, unable to react.
The butler continued: "Ayan somehow offended His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness the Crown Prince saw him, his expression changed and he took him away without saying anything."
Sheng Ling blinked and finally realized what happened. He immediately pushed the butler away and ran out without even thinking.
Others didn't know, but she clearly understood why her brother wanted to take Ayan away.
Because of Li Yu.
The elder brother will definitely regard A Yan as Li Yu, and Li Yu played with her feelings and assassinated her father. Now that the elder brother has seen A Yan, there is no way he will let A Yan go.
Sheng Ling had to worry, she was worried that something would happen to Ayan.
It was already very late when Sheng Ling arrived at the East Palace in the princess's carriage. Sheng Ling rushed to the palace gate as soon as she got off the car. When the guard saw that it was Princess Sheng Ling, he let her in without stopping her.
"Where's my brother?" Sheng Ling caught the prince's entourage coming from the corridor and asked.
"Princess, His Highness said that I have something to do today and it is not convenient to see you. You want to go back."
As soon as Sheng Ling heard this, she knew that her brother was determined to deal with A Yan, but she couldn't let A Yan get into trouble for no reason. Sheng Ling took a deep breath and said shamelessly: "Go and tell My brother, if he doesn’t see me, I will go to my sister-in-law and complain that there is someone outside!"
The prince's entourage suddenly had a complicated look on his face: "...Princess, Your Highness only loves the Crown Princess, how could you spread rumors like this..."
"Are you going or not! If not, I will go find the Crown Princess!"
The entourage had no choice but to nod quickly and go back to report Princess Shengling's original words to His Highness the Crown Prince. Not long after, he came over to find Sheng Ling again and said that His Highness the Crown Prince was over there in the cell.
When Sheng Ling heard that her brother was over there in the cell, her expression turned even worse. She hurried over, but it was still too late.
Ayan was almost lying on the floor of the cell, her hands on the ground, and there were staggered scars on the backs of her hands.
Sheng Ling's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she shouted loudly to Sheng Bianmo who was standing aside: "Brother! Why do you torture him!"
Sheng Bianmo turned around and glanced at her lightly, and said coldly: "What do you think?"
"I know brother will think that he is... Li Yu, but he is not, he is Ayan. Brother, how can you arrest people indiscriminately and torture them?!"
