When she saw Song Zhicheng, Ling Qingwan's good mood suddenly disappeared.
But she also knows what is important.
Before Song Zhicheng and her fall out, they have to do enough work to show their sincerity.
"Is this your kite?" Song Zhicheng asked.
"Yes." Wei Xun said softly.
"I happened to see it when I was taking a walk with Miss Xu, so I brought it here. I didn't expect it was for you two." After Song Zhicheng said this, he took the kite from Xu Yuanyuan and returned it to Ling Qingwan.
"Thank you for your help, Crown Prince and Miss Xu." Ling Qingwan nodded slightly, looking so humble that no one could find any flaws in her.
"It's just a small favor, nothing to mention." Xu Yuanyuan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled back.
Putting aside other things, Ling Qingwan has some admiration for Xu Yuanyuan.
In her previous life, she was betrothed to Song Zhicheng. There was no Ling Chuchu to interfere between them. They were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged since childhood. They should have been the perfect match in everyone's eyes. But unexpectedly, Xu Yuanyuan colluded with Song Zhiqing and helped him become the emperor of Dai Viet.
Xu Yuanyuan was supposed to be executed together with Song Zhicheng as the Grand Concubine, but she ended up becoming the first Imperial Concubine during Song Zhiqing's reign.
Ling Qingwan was already dead at that time, and was imprisoned by Song Zhiqing during her lifetime, so she had no idea what was happening outside. She was still sighing, Song Zhiqing's infatuation with Ling Chuchu was just like this.
When encountering new things, he forgets the old ones. This is Song Zhiqing's nature.
Now let Ling Qingwan see that she had thought too simply.
In the interest field, there is no such thing as so much love between men and women. In the previous life, Ling Chuchu and Song Zhiqing loved each other so much, and in this life, Ling Chuchu still joined Song Zhicheng for power and status.
"It's time for dinner now. How about I invite the princess and Miss Ling to Huajianlou and have a simple meal together?" Song Zhicheng suggested.
Ling Qingwan frowned calmly.
"Wanwan and I came here after having dinner." Wei Xun politely rejected Song Zhicheng.
He and Ling Qingwan came straight here after coming out of Ling Mansion. When did they have dinner? In the end, he still didn't want to go the same way with Song Zhicheng.
Since Wei Xun said so, Song Zhicheng couldn't force it. After chatting for a while, they separated and went their separate ways.
After the kite fell to the ground, several bones were broken and it could no longer fly high. Wei Xun simply put the kite down and took Ling Qingwan to Zuixiao Tower.
"We are having dinner now. What if we run into the eldest prince and Miss Xu?" Ling Qingwan asked curiously.
After all, Wei Xun had just told them that he had eaten lunch.
"You've seen it, but you don't allow us to have big appetites and eat two meals at noon?" Wei Xun curled his lips. His tone was quite indifferent.
Ling Qingwan was amused and laughed.
"But then again, the eldest prince is not a good person. You should remember to stay away from him from now on." Wei Xun reminded Ling Qingwan.
"I still remember that he asked you to go to the pleasure boat and set off fireworks for you to watch."
Ling Qingwan thought that Wei Xun felt that Song Zhicheng was very cunning and was afraid that he would plot against her, but she never thought it was because of this matter. She was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle.
Ling Qingwan always feels inexplicably at ease when she is with Wei Xun.
The two of them had little free time so they went out for a stroll alone. After dinner, Wei Xun took Ling Qingwan to visit the entire Shangjing. Only after dinner did he send Ling Qingwan back to the Ling Mansion.
"Wash up and rest early when you get back, and don't stay up late. If you run out of the calming incense I gave you, just ask someone to come to the palace to get it." Wei Xun reminded.
"I understand." Ling Qingwan agreed obediently.
"Also, the weather has been getting colder recently, especially at night. If you feel stuffy, open the window a little and try not to let in the wind. Cover yourself with the quilt. The same goes for daytime, wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."
"I know." Ling Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
When did Wei Xun become so talkative
"besides… "
"stop!"
Seeing that Wei Xun was about to speak, Ling Qingwan stopped him in time.
If I let him continue talking, I'm afraid I won't have to go back tonight.
"There is one last thing." Wei Xun's expression became particularly serious.
"What?" Ling Qingwan became interested.
"Remember to think of me." Wei Xun lowered his voice, raised his hand, and gently rubbed Ling Qingwan's head.
Ling Qingwan's face flushed instantly, and her heart was beating like a deer.
"Do you know?" Seeing that Ling Qingwan refused to agree, Wei Xun urged.
"I understand." Ling Qingwan lowered her head and responded affectionately.
It’s cold outside and it’s not suitable to stay for long, Wei Xun said, and then he asked Ling Qingwan to go back home.
He stood outside the door until Ling Qingwan went in and he could no longer see her. Only then did he withdraw his gaze and return to the carriage.
Ling Qingwan had a very happy day today.
So much so that when she returned to the backyard, she even walked briskly, as if she was stepping on soft cotton.
But as soon as she arrived in the room, Ling Qingwan received a message that Ling Feng asked her to go to the study.
"Are you sure it's the lady the master called?" Qiao'er confirmed again and again.
"It's absolutely true!" the servant answered firmly.
Qiao'er was puzzled and looked back at Ling Qingwan.
Fortunately, Ling Qingwan hadn't had time to pack up yet, so she could get up and go out. She stood up slowly and led Qiao'er towards the study.
Just now at the gate of Ling Mansion, Ling Qingwan spotted Ling Feng.
Perhaps because he felt embarrassed when he saw Wei Xun, Ling Feng did not return to the mansion until Wei Xun left.
Although Ling Qingwan didn't know what Ling Feng was doing, she could guess that it was related to Wei Xun.
Her father has never bowed his head to her.
Ever since Ling Qingwan returned to Dongjing City, Ling Feng had never treated her well. Come to think of it, he was like this to Ling Xiao, let alone Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan had been separated from him since childhood. Although they were father and daughter, they had not met for more than a decade. It was understandable that Ling Feng had no feelings for Ling Qingwan.
But Ling Xiao is different.
Ling Xiao had been in the Ling Mansion since he was born. Even though he followed Shen Chengzhou and lived in the capital, they would only see each other every day. It was nothing. Moreover, as the eldest son of the Ling Mansion, Ling Xiao followed Shen Chengzhou to fight the enemy at the age of fourteen or fifteen. He made many contributions and became a famous young general in Da Yue.
Even so, Ling Feng never liked Ling Xiao.
In her previous life, Ling Qingwan had seen through it. In this life, since her rebirth, Ling Qingwan had never expected to receive warmth from the Ling family. Ling Qingwan didn't care how Ling Feng treated her.
With a lot of thoughts in her mind, Ling Qingwan soon arrived at the study.
"You wait outside, I'll go in."
After giving Qiao'er instructions, Ling Qingwan entered the room.
"Wanwan, you're here." Ling Feng greeted warmly, pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned Ling Qingwan to sit down.
"Why did you call me here?" Ling Qingwan went straight to the point and didn't bother to argue with Ling Feng any further.
Ling Feng looked a little embarrassed.
"Wanwan, what happened before was my fault. I was still young at that time, and I was full of youthful energy. I did something ridiculous without realizing it, which led to a disaster later. But I can assure you that I am sincere to your mother."
