Chapter 65 Confrontation 2

No matter how deep and shrewd the Crown Prince is, he is still a 15-year-old boy, and a boy who is spoiled and obeyed by everyone and dares not disobey.

The so-called moodiness is because when he turns against someone, it means that someone will be unlucky.

The so-called moodiness is because his mood can determine the fate of the people around him.

When someone is not afraid of his identity and uses sharp words to fight back, he doesn't know how to react for a while except being angry.

You can't just order people to beat him like you treat guards and palace maids!

You can't lose your temper like you scold the officials of the East Palace!

Ling Jingshu deliberately acted humble and hid the sarcasm under the mask of respect... He couldn't even find a reason to be angry!

The Crown Prince pursed his thin lips, without a trace of extra expression on his face: "It's good that you know the limit and know how to advance and retreat."

The voice was flat, and there was no anger.

Wang Tong secretly complained in his heart.

Ling Jingshu seemed not to notice the turbulent anger beneath the calm surface of the Crown Prince, and said humbly and politely: "We, the siblings, will leave first, so as not to disturb His Royal Highness's good mood."

......The Crown Prince continued with a blank expression: "I will allow you to leave."

Everyone could see that His Royal Highness was very unhappy.

The invisible pressure made people breathless. The air seemed to stop flowing, stagnant and dull.

Ling Jingshu smiled and bowed with Ling Xiao. Then turned and left.

Although Ling Jingshu was the one who left first, everyone knew that the one who lost the battle of words, temperament and even mind just now was definitely not Ling Jingshu!

......

Jiang and Ling Ji looked at each other quickly, and both saw the helplessness and bitter smile in each other's eyes.

Ling Ji gritted his teeth and apologized: "Your Highness, Ah Shu was born and raised in Dingzhou since she was a child. She rarely leaves the inner house. She was spoiled by her grandmother and has a willful temper. She spoke out of measure and upset Your Highness. Please forgive her and don't bother with her..."

It's over!

How can you persuade like this!

Isn't this telling Your Highness that everyone can see that he has lost the upper hand just now? Your Highness is proud and proud and cares about face the most...It would be strange if he doesn't really turn against you!

Wang Tong's back was covered in cold sweats, and he winked at Ling Ji repeatedly.

"Wang Tong, is there sand in your eyes? Or is it cramps?" The cold voice of the Crown Prince suddenly rang in Wang Tong's ears.

Forget it, this fire didn't go to the Ling family, but burned to him, an innocent fish in the pond.

Wang Tong sighed in his heart, but his body reacted faster than his mind. He immediately knelt down with a plop: "It's all my fault. Please punish me, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince looked over with a smile: "Oh? What's your fault?"

"I made a face behind your back, which lost the dignity of the East Palace guards. I should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!" Wang Tong was very eloquent and his attitude of apology was even more sincere.

The Crown Prince's expression eased a little: "Since you are sincere in admitting your mistakes, I will punish you less. Clean the planks of this ship within half a day."

As the commander of the East Palace Crown Prince's guards, he knelt down to clean the planks... It was really embarrassing!

Wang Tong sighed inwardly, but he did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately thanked him: "I obey your orders, thank you for not killing me."

Ling Ji, Jiang Shi, Ling Jingyan: "..."

With the previous experience, Jiang Shi did not even dare to "flirt" with Ling Ji in front of His Royal Highness, and mustered up the courage to say: "Your Highness, the ship will set sail soon, and we will take our leave first."

The Crown Prince nodded lightly, which was considered a favor.

Ling Ji and his wife led Ling Jingyan, who was sweating, to retreat.

......

"Ashu, you've been wronged because of me again."

As soon as he returned to the cabin, Ling Xiao, who had been holding back all the way, 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 been looked down upon by the Crown Prince."

Ling Jingshu smiled and gently patted Ling Xiao's shoulder: "Ashu, you're wrong this time. The one who's upset is not me, but the noble and moody Crown Prince."

Ling Xiao still looked unhappy: "I know you fought back... But no matter what, he's bullying too much. It's okay if he doesn't want to help, but he also puts on a condescending face and sneers, which is really annoying."

The embarrassment at that moment was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he probably won't forget it for the rest of his life.

Ling Jingshu chuckled and said slowly: "The Crown Prince is upset and angry but can't get angry. If you think about this more, you'll feel better."

Ling Xiao thought about it and grinned.

After a while, she whispered with some worry: "Ashu, what if the crown prince is a petty and narrow-minded person, and takes the opportunity to cause trouble for us in the future?"

It is indeed a bit depressing to say such things.

But their status is very different. If he moves a finger, he can make them suffer. This is also an indisputable fact.

Ling Jingshu's tone is still calm and indifferent: "Don't worry. The prince is weak and has been recuperating. The crown prince has to take care of the East Palace, guard against open and covert arrows, learn to handle political affairs, and fight with a bunch of uncles with ulterior motives... How can he have the 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 air...

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 holiday.”

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.
