Wei Xun is really different tonight.
He hugged Ling Qingwan tightly, as if he was afraid that Ling Qingwan would leave.
Although Ling Qingwan didn't know what was going on, she still responded to Wei Xun with the most passionate love.
She kissed Wei Xun.
A soft touch on his lips made Wei Xun feel as if he were electrocuted. He widened his eyes and looked at Ling Qingwan in front of him.
After just a brief touch, Ling Qingwan withdrew her body.
"Can this be proved?" Ling Qingwan asked Wei Xun with a slight smile on her face.
Wei Xun was stunned.
Then he nodded hurriedly, fearing that it would be too late and make Ling Qingwan unhappy.
"As the saying goes, men and women should not touch each other. You kissed me today, but you have to be responsible for me." Wei Xun pretended to be serious.
He took Ling Qingwan's hand and sat down on the seat next to them.
"Then how do you want me to be responsible for you?" Ling Qingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Xun with interest.
"You must pledge yourself to me." Wei Xun went down.
Ling Qingwan burst out laughing.
"You were the one who asked me if I was yours, and I kissed you to prove it. Why don't you appreciate my kindness and want me to be responsible for you?"
"I just want you to be mine, always mine."
Ling Qingwan's every smile and frown attracted Wei Xun's heart. Then he thought of Song Zhicheng, the scoundrel, who had thoughts about Ling Qingwan, and he was even more furious.
Song Zhicheng wanted to take the woman he held dear to his heart as his concubine. He was really bold.
Wei Xun even regretted not letting Song Zhicheng suffer any pain, so he found a way to send him to Taizhou.
"Are you worried about something today?" Ling Qingwan asked worriedly.
Wei Xun did not mention it, and she did not want to ask. But seeing that Wei Xun's abnormal behavior today seemed to be caused by her, Ling Qingwan thought that she might be able to help Wei Xun.
"It's okay." Wei Xun smiled and reached out to tuck the loose hair at Ling Qingwan's temples behind her ears.
It’s not that he couldn’t tell Ling Qingwan, it’s just that he was embarrassed to do so.
It is not necessarily that he wants to tell Ling Qingwan that he is unhappy about Song Zhicheng's matter and is feeling resentful in his heart.
The two chatted for a while, and Ling Qingwan felt sleepy and went to bed first.
It seemed that every time she saw Wei Xun, she could sleep better.
These days, Qiao'er and the others really didn't worry about Ling Qingwan's sleep. As long as they knew Wei Xun was coming, Qiao'er and Nanny Park would automatically remove the tranquilizing incense.
For Ling Qingwan, Wei Xun's effect is greater than that of the tranquilizing incense.
Soon, the eldest princess’ birthday came, and Ling Qingwan attended as promised.
The last time she heard someone mention the eldest princess was in Ling Chuchu's ears. At that time, Ling Chuchu fooled Madam Ling and said that the eldest princess admired her very much.
Today, Ling Qingwan wanted to see how the eldest princess appreciated Ling Chuchu.
The reason why Ling Qingwan didn't believe this was because she had met the eldest princess in her previous life. The eldest princess lived in Jiangnan for many years and rarely came back. She was arrogant and very serious, which made people feel intimidated at a glance.
If Ling Chuchu met the princess a few more times, she might be able to please her with her ability to act. But after just one meeting, she saw that the princess admired her, which Ling Qingwan didn't believe.
She didn't believe it and didn't care.
After all, Ling Chuchu's words were meant for Old Madam Ling, not for her.
The entrance to the Princess's mansion was filled with carriages of all kinds, some with luxurious decorations and some with restrained decorations. Ling Qingwan, the daughter of a fourth-rank local official, was naturally far inferior to them in terms of her outfit.
After getting off the carriage, Ling Qingwan walked straight into the gate.
There was an endless stream of dignitaries in the mansion, and the young men and women were in groups of two or three, chatting happily. Ling Qingwan didn't have many friends, so before entering the hall, she could only stand alone and wait.
Many women around gave Ling Qingwan mocking smiles.
"Miss, don't think too much." Seeing this, Qiao'er couldn't help but worry about affecting Ling Qingwan's mood.
Ling Qingwan is very sharp-minded. Even she can see that the people around her have bad intentions, let alone Ling Qingwan.
"I didn't think much about it." Ling Qingwan chuckled.
"They hate me for two reasons. One is that I come from the countryside, not as noble as them. But I still became the future Seventh Princess. The other is that they are jealous of the relationship between me and the prince. These two are irrelevant to me."
Ling Qingwan would not waste her time arguing with these rich ladies.
“Wanwan!”
As soon as he finished speaking, An Yi's voice came to his ears.
Who else but An Yi would dare to make a loud noise in such an occasion
The next second, An Yi pounced in front of Ling Qingwan.
"I was worried that no one would talk to me. Luckily you came." An Yi ignored the looks from the people around her and held Ling Qingwan's hand affectionately.
She was a princess with a noble status, so how could there be no lack of people who came forward to pay their respects to her? No one talked to An Yi about this, but it hurt many people's hearts.
No one around expected An Yi to suddenly appear, and she had such a good relationship with Ling Qingwan.
"Don't you feel too bored?" An Yi asked Ling Qingwan.
"A little bit." Ling Qingwan nodded in agreement.
She knew that An Yi must be thinking about something weird again.
"Then how about we sneak away to the back garden? There are fewer people there and it's quiet. We can take a walk together and play chess!" An Yi suggested, looking at Ling Qingwan with anticipation in her eyes.
Ling Qingwan frowned and looked around hesitantly.
Everyone was there, but she and An Yi went to the back garden alone without even saying hello to the eldest princess, which was not a good idea.
"Oh! Don't even think about it! Just listen to me!"
Seeing that Ling Qingwan was reluctant to agree, An Yi couldn't wait any longer and pulled Ling Qingwan towards the back garden.
There are two gardens in the Princess's mansion, one for people to visit and enjoy, and the other is more secluded and rarely disturbed.
An Yi didn't like to attend these banquets. If the princess hadn't urged her to come and tempted her with homework, she would not have been willing to come. Fortunately, Ling Qingwan was also there. An Yi was really happy to see Ling Qingwan.
In the back garden, Ling Chuchu was chatting and joking with a few young ladies she was on good terms with, looking very happy.
"Oh, who am I thinking? I saw someone dressed up here from a distance. It turned out to be the governor's daughter."
A harsh voice came, and Ling Chuchu's brows were twisted into knots.
As expected, she met her mortal enemy.
The woman walking towards them was pretty and bright. She was none other than Zhang Shuying, the daughter of the Yongping Marquis and also Ling Chuchu's mortal enemy.
Zhang Shuying is arrogant. In the early years, Ling Chuchu was doing well in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, and Zhang Shuying couldn't stand her at that time. Now seeing Ling Chuchu in such a miserable state, how could she not step on her and make things difficult for her when she got the chance
There were a few women following Zhang Shuying, and when they stood opposite Ling Chuchu, they naturally separated into different camps.
"Who are you talking about who is dressed flashily?" Ling Chuchu was unhappy.
In order to attract the eldest princess's attention today, she had indeed deliberately dressed up more exquisitely.
