Chapter 68: Skillful Change

  Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  Yesterday, Ling Jingyu begged softly, but the Crown Prince ignored her.

  How did you change your mind overnight and want to help voluntarily?

  They say women's hearts are changeable. But the intention of this Crown Prince is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

  Wang Tong forgot yesterday's lesson and couldn't help but exchange a subtle glance with Ling Xi. Fortunately, the Crown Prince did not turn his head and did not notice Wang Tong's slight movement.

  Ling Da Ye was clearly also startled, but he quickly reacted and busily thanked: "Thank you, Prince Ta Sun, for your kindness. I will now return to the ship and tell my siblings this good news, so they can come tomorrow to thank Your Highness."

  "There's no need to thank me." The crown prince's expression was indifferent: "For me, it's just a trivial matter. I'm not the kind of person who does favors for repayment."

  Grandfather Ling naturally wouldn't take such words to heart, and with a flattering smile said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted and generous, bestowing favors without seeking reward, truly moving the hearts of us officials. However, Your Highness's slight effort can allow Ah Xiao to enter the Chun Tang clinic for treatment one day earlier. This kindness, I really have no way to repay. Let Ah Jiao and Ah Xiao come and kowtow to thank Your Highness..."

  "It's enough." The Crown Prince said coldly: "I'm tired, you can withdraw!"

  Ling Da Ye: "......"

  This young master's temper is truly unpredictable.

  We were just talking fine, how did you suddenly turn against me?

  Mr. Ling didn't dare show his discontent and had no choice but to get up and leave.

  ......

  As usual, Wang Tong sent off Ling Dage and his son again.

  Ling Xi slowed down his pace intentionally or unintentionally.

  Wang Tong led the way with a thoughtful expression, intentionally slowing his pace.

  "King Tong, you worked hard yesterday." Ling Xi's tone was full of apology: "I apologize to you on behalf of Ah Shu."

  Wang Tong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but after a night's sleep, it had almost dissipated. Upon hearing this, he responded in a low voice: "This matter can't be blamed on Miss Lingjiu."

  He glanced at the figure of Ling Dage in the distance and said in a low voice, "The Crown Prince was still angry yesterday, how did he suddenly agree to help today?"

  Wang Tong sighed helplessly and smiled wryly: "Your Highness's mind is as deep as the sea, how dare I make random guesses." He paused for a moment and then said: "To be honest with you, I just heard Your Highness say that. I was also startled."

  Wang Tong was also completely unaware of this beforehand!

  This young master is indeed... unfathomable.

  Ling Xi was deep in thought, when he heard Wang Tong's voice again in his ear: "There is something I want to remind Master Ling. The Crown Prince has a temper that says one thing and means it. He said not to use Miss Lingjiu to thank him, then don't use her. If Master Ling really brings people over, the Crown Prince might get upset."

  Ling Xi hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Commander Wang, for reminding me. I know what to do now."

  No matter what the crown prince is thinking, in short, let's not let Ling Jingxu show her face for a few days.

  Wang Tong had a good impression of Ling Xi's warm and open personality, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say anything else.

  ......

  After Wang Tong left, Old Man Ling couldn't help but ask: "Ah Meng, what were you and Commander Wang whispering about just now?"

  Ling Xi naturally refused to tell the truth and vaguely replied, "Nothing was said. It's just casual talk to get closer to him."

  "You're right." Old Man Ling didn't suspect anything, and smiled as he praised Ling Mu: "Don't underestimate Wang Tong. Since the Crown Prince was eight years old, he has been his personal bodyguard. Because of his outstanding performance, he later became the leader of the bodyguards. In front of the Crown Prince, his words carry some weight. In the future, when the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, Wang Tong will inevitably become the leader of the Imperial Guard. It's good for you to be on good terms with him now, and it will benefit you in the future."

  Ling Xi had long been aware of his father's utilitarian and selfish nature. Without explaining anything, he simply nodded randomly.

  Mr. Ling sighed again, seemingly lost in thought.

  "Why did Father sigh?" As a son, Ling Xi's filial piety and thoughtfulness were beyond doubt.

  Ling Da Ye looked at his eldest son with a mixture of comfort and regret, "Ah Ju was born with a good appearance, even the Crown Prince looks at her differently. Who knows, maybe she'll have a good marriage in the future. Ah Yan is also as beautiful as a flower, why didn't she catch the Crown Prince's eye?"

  Ling Xi: "......"

  Grandpa Ling didn't notice Ling Xi's strange expression and continued to say, "However, Ah Ju is the daughter of our Ling family. She is my own niece. If she has a good future, as her uncle, I will be happy for her. Perhaps, the prosperity and wealth of our Ling family in the future will all depend on her..."

  "Father. Isn't it too early to be saying such things?!"

  Ling Xi tactfully interrupted Ling Dajie's reverie: "Besides, Ah Jiu's lifelong matter should be decided by her grandmother and Fifth Uncle. Father doesn't need to worry about it!"

  Ling's uncle smiled incredulously and said: "I am her own uncle, of course I will think of her in every way, how could I harm her?"

  It's a pity that Prince Taizun is very indifferent to Ling Jingyan, without showing any interest. On the contrary, he pays attention to Ling Jingxiao everywhere.

  Otherwise, how would he have thought of Ling Jingxu?

  Ling Xi could only change the subject: "Right, what Your Highness promised earlier should be told to Ah Jiao and Ah Xiao first!"

  Old Man Ling waved his hand with a good mood: "This little thing, you just tell them. Also, remind the two of them to follow me tomorrow to pay respects and gratitude to Prince Taishun."

  "Absolutely not!"

  Ling Xi heard this and immediately frowned in opposition: "Father, don't forget that when we mentioned Xie En's matter earlier, the Crown Prince was displeased. If we were to anger the Crown Prince over such a trivial matter, it would really not be worth it."

  That's also true.

  Ling Da Ye thought for a moment and smiled: "What you said makes sense. There will be plenty of opportunities to thank me in the future, no need to rush these few days."

  Finally got rid of Old Man Ling, and Ling Xi let out a silent sigh of relief.

  Then, Ling Xi went to Ling Jingxuan's cabin and told her the good news: "...... Ah-jing, Ta Sun said that after arriving in Beijing, let us go to the Crown Prince's mansion to pick up the invitation. With Ta Sun's name card, we don't have to wait in line at Hui Chun Tang."

  Ling Jingxu: "......"

  This crown prince is really moody and unpredictable!

  Yesterday she spoke out and begged him sincerely, but he ignored her. After scolding him, he actually opened his mouth voluntarily...

  But anyway, this is indeed good news.

  "Thank you, Brother." Ling Jingyu quickly came back to her senses and smiled as she thanked him: "Should I take Ah Xiao to thank the Prince?"

  Ling Xi coughed and said, "Also, His Highness has given special orders that you and Ah Xiao don't need to go thank him."

  Ling Jingxu: "......" (pauses), ...
