Chapter 84 King of Yan 3

Your Highness, we met on the third floor of this Dingxiang Building a few months ago. Have you forgotten it completely?

Ling Jingyan used up all her self-control and finally swallowed the words back. She thanked him in a low voice, then stood up and walked behind Jiang.

At least she didn't make a fool of herself.

Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and smiled apologetically: "It's all our fault today. We disturbed Your Highness's interest in dining. We will leave first. If there are any inappropriate words just now, please forgive me and don't take it to heart."

Jiang's attitude was so humble that the King of Yan couldn't hold on to what happened just now.

What's more, he didn't feel much displeasure about being offended.

As the youngest prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was superior to others and had a noble status since birth. The people around him obeyed him in everything, and his father and mother loved him in their hands. As a result, he developed a reckless character.

The girls who saw him were either attracted by his noble status, or attracted by his extremely handsome appearance, or impressed by his arrogant and unrestrained demeanor.

He had long been accustomed to the admiration in the eyes of girls. It was almost unprecedented for someone like Ling Jingshu to be unmoved and cold, which made him feel a sense of novelty and freshness.

Of course, he was a dignified prince, and he always had to be proud of his status. He could not and disdained to do such things as bullying men and women.

Jiang wanted to leave, and the King of Yan did not stop him. He just casually responded: "Forget it, it's not a big deal. Let's stop with today's matter."

The shopkeeper and eunuch Xi who were kneeling on the ground were almost crying.

The shopkeeper was lucky to escape a disaster.

Eunuch Xi was terrified that a disaster was about to come.

......

The King of Yan was still standing at the door, and the shopkeeper and eunuch Xi were both kneeling, blocking the door tightly.

If you want to go out, you have to let the King of Yan get out of the way...

But who has the courage to say so?

Jiang was hesitating when she heard Ling Jingshu say, "Please ask His Highness Prince Yan to enter the private room first."

Yes, why not let Prince Yan enter first? Jiang was like a revelation, finally came to her senses, and immediately led everyone to stand aside.

Prince Yan obviously didn't know what it meant to be polite and declined. After stepping into the private room, he sat down calmly.

Eunuch Xi, who had been kneeling at the door, changed his previous majestic demeanor, stood up tremblingly, walked in humbly, and opened his mouth tremblingly: "I made a mistake, please punish me, Your Highness."

Prince Yan waited impatiently for Eunuch Xi: "Okay, I'll punish you when I get back home. Let the shopkeeper stand up first and order someone to serve the dishes."

Today, I have escaped this disaster!

The shopkeeper was grateful and hurriedly thanked him, then stood up quickly.

The door was empty, and Jiang immediately led the way out. After walking out of the private room and closing the door behind them, Jiang's tense mind relaxed a little.

Ling Jingshu asked in a low voice: "Cousin, where are we going next?"

It's noon, we can't go back without eating.

Let's go to another restaurant. It's time-consuming and troublesome, and I really don't have the interest.

Jiang frowned slightly and was about to say something when the waiter who greeted the guests before ran over and said apologetically: "I didn't expect this to happen today. I'm really sorry to all the guests. The guests in the private room on the second floor have just left and have been cleaned up. Please move over. The shopkeeper said that all the money will be returned. This lunch is considered as our Dingxianglou's treat, and it is also a gift to calm the guests."

Jiang looked at Ling Jingshu: "Ashu, what do you think?"

Ling Jingshu's calmness in the face of things is really impressive. Jiang couldn't make up her mind, so she naturally asked Ling Jingshu for her opinion.

"Since the shopkeeper is so sincere, we accept this kindness." Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: "It's getting late. If we finish the meal earlier, we can go back earlier."

Okay.

Jiang nodded and said to the waiter: "Lead the way."

......

The waiter led the group to the private room on the second floor.

Although the private room here is not as good as the third floor, it is clean and spacious.

Everyone had their own thoughts and sat down in silence. Four cold dishes, six hot dishes and eight main dishes were quickly served. The table was full.

The dishes were not rare, but the taste was surprisingly good.

There was also Dingxianglou's special fruit wine, which was not strong, slightly sweet, and fragrant.

If it weren't for the previous scene that made everyone depressed, this should have been a delicious and pleasant lunch. Now, no matter how delicious the food and wine were, everyone was no longer in the mood to savor them carefully.

Especially Ling Jingyan, like an eggplant hit by frost, she was wilted and had no energy at all. Counting the rice grains in the bowl, he reluctantly ate a few bites, and put down his chopsticks without touching the dishes.

Jiang glanced at Ling Jingyan, put down his chopsticks, and said lightly: "Ayan, tell me honestly, you deliberately went to Dingxianglou today, and insisted on going to that Tingzhuxuan. Is it because of King Yan?"

Ling Jingyan bit her lips hard and didn't say anything, but her eyes were quietly red.

"Fortunately, King Yan didn't get angry today. Otherwise, you would have caused trouble for the Ling family today."

Jiang's expression did not change, but her tone became heavier, with a hint of reprimand: "After all, you are still an unmarried girl, even if... you have to be more reserved. If the mother-in-law knew about what happened today, I'm afraid you will be scolded, and you won't be able to go out again in the future."

Ling Jingyan panicked and raised her head without thinking: "Sister-in-law, I beg you, don't tell my mother what happened today. Otherwise, she will scold me."

Being scolded is a small matter.

The most feared thing is that as Jiang said, she will be strictly confined by Sun and can never go out easily.

Ling Jingyan pleaded with a pitiful face: "Sister-in-law, I will never dare to do this again. Can you keep the matter of today a secret for me?"

Jiang was just trying to scare Ling Jingyan. Seeing that she was submissive, she sighed and said: "Forget it, I will keep it a secret for you this time. It won't happen again!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ling Jingyan thanked her with gratitude.

From beginning to end, she didn't look at Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu didn't show any emotion on her face, but she sighed secretly in her heart.

Ling Jingyan obviously hated her because of what happened just now...

The friendship between girls seems solid, but it is actually very fragile. A little thing can also make it unhappy. Moreover, among Ling Jingyan's many merits, magnanimity is definitely not one of them.

The young man she likes can't remember having seen her before, and doesn't even look at her, but is attracted by another girl. Such a "serious" matter can almost make the two girls turn against each other!
