After the banquet started, Concubine De actually didn't make things difficult for Yan Ling. She just asked her to write a few poems and praised her highly, which made Yan Ling steal the show.
However, the more Concubine De acted like this, the more Yan Ling felt that there must be some other purpose behind it.
Later, Concubine De asked Yan Ling what she liked to do at home and what books she read when she was a child.
Yan Ling also answered them one by one, but he felt more and more something was wrong. The behavior of Empress De Fei at this time made Yan Ling even more confused.
However, Yan Ling can only be regarded as a person who is confused by the authorities and clear by the bystanders. Except for Yan Ling, everyone present saw some signs.
When he first asked, Liang He's face had changed slightly. Although Princess Zhaoyan still didn't understand the reason, in the end, after Princess Zhaoyan gradually understood, her face became ugly.
Concubine De's question was clearly like checking to see what kind of person her future daughter-in-law would be.
Originally, Princess Zhaoyan thought that Concubine De would not agree to the matter between the third prince and Yan Ling, but now it seems that the situation is exactly the opposite.
On the other hand, the Queen and Princess Zhaoyan have also heard some rumors recently. It was said that the Queen was very dissatisfied with Yan Ling because Her Royal Highness the Prince and the Third Prince were in the main hall, and they were vying to ask the Emperor to grant them a marriage with Yan Ling.
Although the Queen is not close to His Royal Highness, she seems to be fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother and a Queen. But the Queen couldn't tolerate a woman seducing two princes.
What's more, one of these two princes is her son. Even if he has no feelings, he is still a piece of flesh that has fallen from her body. Naturally, the Queen is still very concerned about him.
Princess Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If the current trend was to be followed, something might be wrong.
Liang He finally figured out what Concubine De's plan was for hosting this banquet. Although he was a little surprised that Concubine De would actually agree to the third prince marrying Yan Ling, Liang He didn't find it too strange.
After all, part of the reason why concubines have been here till today is because she doesn't play by the rules.
Although today's Concubine De is still very charming, she is still in her thirties after all. According to the palace's calculations, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is old and yellow, but...
Seeing that she is still so favored to this day, you can know that there must be something else going on.
Concubine De and Yan Ling chatted for a while and then stopped. After all, everyone knew that this banquet was probably held for Yan Ling alone.
But after all, this can only be said behind the scenes. If it were to be explained publicly, with so many people present, De Fei, as the host, would probably be blamed if she only paid attention to Yan Ling and ignored the others.
Concubine De had stayed in the palace for so many years, so it was impossible for her not to understand this, so she was very careful about it. She can make everyone understand what she means without making people feel too much. She can indeed be called an old man in the palace.
"What's wrong with you two? You look so ugly." Yan Ling never responded. He wanted to ask the two people next to him if they knew what the reason was, but he found that neither of them looked very good.
Princess Zhaoyan originally thought that Yan Ling had figured out the purpose of Concubine De and the third prince, but she didn't expect that she, the person in the game, didn't realize it at all. It really made those anxious people like them angry and funny. Woolen cloth.
"I said you are usually very smart, but at such a critical moment, you seem to be stupid. You don't even know if you are betrayed." Princess Zhaoyan gritted her teeth helplessly and stretched out her arms. He tapped Yan Ling's forehead.
Seeing that no one around her was paying attention, Princess Zhaoyan pulled Yan Ling over and whispered in her ear the purpose of Concubine De. After hearing all this, Yan Ling's face naturally didn't look good, but he still looked at Liang He subconsciously.
"Don't worry, no matter what their plans are, as long as they want to take advantage of you, it's impossible." Liang He comforted Yan Ling in turn and patted her hand gently under the table.
Yan Ling suddenly felt at ease. Yan Ling had not cared about it before because Yan Ling knew that she would eventually become the crown princess.
Such an idea may not have come from the beginning, but it was deeply hidden in Yan Ling's mind, hinting at Yan Ling subconsciously.
However, Yan Ling later discovered that it was not just a matter of time. What happened in this life is completely different from what happened in this lifetime. It was because of this that Yan Ling started to worry.
In the final analysis, Yan Ling is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the world. She cannot control her own destiny. If the emperor offered marriage again, Yan Ling felt that he might not be able to refuse.
However, at this moment, Liang He's empty words gave her countless feelings of trust. It seems that as long as this person says it, he can do it. As long as he is here, I don't have to worry about anything.
Yan Ling suddenly felt relieved, and the emotions in his heart were a little complicated, and he nodded subconsciously. Liang He also smiled at this time and reached out his hand to touch Yan Ling's hair.
If no one pays attention to what is going on here, then it is naturally impossible. After all, the meaning of what Concubine De said just now was already obvious. In addition, there have been rumors in the capital about how kind His Highness the Crown Prince is to Yan Ling.
So at this time, this kind of scene will certainly attract the attention of a large number of people who like to gossip. Therefore, in addition to those who admire His Highness the Crown Prince, there is also a large group of people who are quietly watching here.
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's actions just now, everyone's jaws dropped. I have heard about it before, but rumors are just rumors after all, and they are not as impactful as seeing them with my own eyes.
What I have to say is that another group of young girls were heartbroken. Of course, there are many of them who are secretly gnashing their teeth, wishing that the person sitting next to His Highness the Crown Prince was themselves.
Among these people, Bai Yiyi is the most prosperous. However, she is the worst person to show off and be discovered by others.
No matter how arrogant and domineering Bai Yiyi is outside, he is still someone weaker than her after all. And now, who among the people present does not have a better status than her
Therefore, in this situation, Bai Yiyi did not even dare to say that she liked His Highness the Crown Prince. If people knew about it, I don’t know how many people would laugh at her and want to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
However, even so, Bai Yiyi would not give up. If Bai Yiyi was still hesitating whether to do this just now. So now, she has made up her mind.
