Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  "What the great uncle said is true. Today, I was too impulsive and spoke too recklessly. Fortunately, His Highness Taizun is magnanimous and didn't hold it against me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have implicated Great Uncle's entire family today."

  Ling Jingxu took two steps forward, shielding Ling Xiao behind her, and said apologetically: "I will definitely remember Uncle's teachings, from now on I will be more tolerant when encountering things, think thrice before acting, and never again be quick with my words."

  With a sincere face and an attitude of admitting mistakes, he is quite honest.

  Mr. Ling's chest was burning with anger, but it suddenly subsided a lot.

  Ling Jingxu again opened her mouth with a apologetic expression: "Ah Xiao is young and vigorous, what he said earlier was just angry words. Eldest Uncle has a broad mind, gentle and magnanimous, definitely won't quarrel with Ah Xiao."

  As she spoke, she turned her head and tugged at Ling Xiao's sleeve: "Ah Xiao, aren't you going to apologize to Eldest Uncle? Don't ever say anything about leaving again. We two have never been to the capital before, we're not familiar with the place. Even if we wanted to leave, how could Eldest Uncle bear to see us siblings suffer outside?"

  Ling Xiao was very obedient and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Uncle, I was wrong. Don't be angry with me."

  Ling Da Ye: "......"

  He finally understands the complex and contradictory emotions of Prince Taeson at that time!

  Scolding a young girl with angry words is unbecoming!

  Biting back one's words and holding it in can lead to internal injuries...

  Ling Jingyu looked at Ling Dage with those bright and clear eyes: "Uncle, from today on, I and Ah Xiao will stay in the cabin, not taking half a step out. We won't cause any more trouble. You can stop being angry now, okay?"

  Facing such a beautiful and sincere face, how could Lord Ling get angry?

  "This time, let it go." Old Man Ling weakly waved his hand: "In the future, be more cautious and careful with your words and actions. You don't have to stay in the cabin all the time, just avoid appearing in front of Prince Taishun."

  Ling Jing replied softly and led Ling Xiao away together.

  After the two siblings left, Old Man Ling rubbed his swollen temples and let out a long sigh.

  Originally thought that bringing them to the capital was just a small matter, who would have thought that before even arriving at the capital, so many things had already happened... At this moment, Old Man Ling suddenly had an ominous premonition.

  I always feel that peaceful and stable days are about to disappear forever!

  Ling Xi saw Ling Dage's gloomy and depressed expression, and smiled to comfort him: "Father, you're really overthinking. If Ta Sun Gongzi was really angry, why would he endure it silently? He must have erupted on the spot. Since he didn't say anything, it seems that Gongzi wasn't angry."

  He paused and said in a low voice: "In that case, if I were to say it, Your Highness would certainly be furious. Coming from Ah Jiao's mouth, how could Your Highness possibly get angry?"

  All men should be more tolerant of beautiful girls.

  The crown prince is even more serious and formidable, after all, he's just a teenager.

  Ling Da Ye thought for a moment, then let out another sigh: "Things have already turned out this way, so we can only think of it in a positive light. Don't tell your mother and the others about today's events, lest they worry too."

  Ling Xi agreed in one breath.

  ......

  Ling Xiao stepped into the cabin and asked in a low voice, "Ah Jiao, were you intentionally speaking like that today? Why did you do that?"

  Two days ago was an unbearable counterattack. Today is almost a provocation.

  Although Ling Xiao was a bit naive, he wasn't foolish and vaguely sensed that something was off. It seemed that Ling Jingyu had deliberately tried to provoke the Crown Prince...

  Ling Jingxu did not deceive Ling Xiao this time, and nodded calmly: "Yes, I was indeed intentional."

  Ling Xiao furrowed his brow: "But what's the benefit of doing this?"

  Apart from enraging the Crown Prince and making Ling Dage jump with anxiety and anger, there seems to be no obvious benefits.

  Ling Jing's eyes flickered slightly as she smiled meaningfully: "Ah Xiao, I have my own reasons for doing this."

  Her performance over the past few days must have left a very "deep" impression on the Crown Prince!

  Ling Xiao was confused, waiting for half a day without seeing Ling Jingxu explain anything. He couldn't help but protest: "Ah Shu, what do you want to do? You always keep me in the dark and don't tell me!"

  Frowning with a gloomy face.

  "Axiao, don't be angry." Ling Jingyu smiled and comforted the sulking Ling Xiao: "I admit it, I'm indeed hiding some things from you. It's just that the timing isn't right yet. It's inconvenient to tell you now. When the time is ripe in the future, I'll carefully explain everything to you, okay?"

  It turns out that when Ling Jingxu gently asked "good?" there was no man who could resist.

  Ling Xiao is no exception.

  The heart full of melancholy and discontent dissipated in Ling Jing's soft words.

  "This is what you promised me with your own mouth." Ling Xiao's face had a smile again: "No backing out allowed."

  Finally managed to coax him into it! Ling Jingxu secretly let out a sigh of relief. Smiling, she nodded in agreement.

  As for when it will be ripe... of course it's still too early!

  Boy, you're really too naive and easy to deceive!

  Poor Ling Xiao was deceived by his own sister and didn't even realize it. He happily took the book and waited for Ling Jingxu to read it to him.

  ......

  Ling Jingyu kept her promise and didn't leave the cabin again. With nothing to do, she read books to Ling Xiao or occasionally did some needlework to pass the time, feeling quite carefree and at ease.

  Mr. Ling continued to visit the Crown Prince with trepidation, secretly preparing for the possibility of the Crown Prince turning against him at any moment. Mr. Ling feared that it might affect Ling Xi, so he went alone.

  However, the imagined scene did not occur.

  The crown prince still had that aloof and cold demeanor, not saying much, nor showing any anger. He only slightly furrowed his brow when he saw that Ling Dage was visiting alone to pay his respects.

  Mr. Ling hung his head in shame, unaware of the fleeting expression on the crown prince's face. He secretly rejoiced in his heart. The young master had never mentioned that day's events, it seemed he was a magnanimous person and hadn't taken it to heart.

  Mr. Ling's hanging heart finally put down.

  Wang Tong's heart was in his throat.

  As expected, as soon as Ling Dage left, the Crown Prince's face fell.

  Of course, the crown prince was originally not talkative and smiley, only the closest people could detect his emotions from subtle changes in his expression.

  The current crown prince is apparently somewhere between "not too pleased" and "very displeased".

  That clever and eloquent Miss Lingjiu didn't come, so why is Prince Ta Sun unhappy again?

  "Wang Tong," the Crown Prince suddenly asked, "How far is it from Luoyang?"

  Wang Tong did not dare to slack off and hastily replied: "It will probably take about two more days."

  The crown prince nodded.

  Wang Tong waited for half a day, but the Crown Prince did not continue to ask questions, and he slightly let out a breath of relief. Thinking that there were only two days left before arriving in the capital, his heart felt a bit more at ease.

  As soon as he returned to the palace, there were eunuchs and palace maids serving the Crown Prince's food and drink, so it seemed that this guard commander was no longer needed.
