Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  In the midst of hurried footsteps, the shopkeeper's low and depressed voice was interspersed:

  "Fortunately, you're no longer angry. Honestly, I didn't expect Your Highness to come over today... That's why I dared to let someone into the Listening to Bamboo Pavilion..."

  A loud and overbearing voice interrupted the shopkeeper's fearful explanation: "Your Highness hasn't come for a year, and this Listening to Bamboo Pavilion doesn't allow anyone in. You didn't take Your Highness' words to heart, does Dingxiang Tower not want to open again?"

  This soft and delicate voice is completely different from an ordinary man's voice.

  This is an imperial eunuch from the palace!

  The "Your Highness" in the mouth of the palace maid is undoubtedly referring to the King of Yan.

  Jiang and Ling Jingyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and solemnity in each other's eyes.

  Who would have thought it was so coincidental, and actually met the King of Swallows. Listening to the voice of this joyful old man, there is a hint of malice. Today, I'm afraid we've encountered trouble...

  Compared to the two of them, Ling Jingyan was full of surprise, a pair of bright eyes shining with sparkling light. Her gaze was tightly fixed on the direction of the door panel.

  The shopkeeper's legs went soft and he knelt down with a thud: "Brother Xi, please spare me this once for the sake of our past relationship..."

  The eunuch's sharp, cold laughter was quite uncomfortable: "We'll give you a chance. Immediately let the people inside roll out, don't disturb His Highness' appetite for dinner. Otherwise, when His Highness gets angry, we can't help you either."

  The shopkeeper, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled all over his body. Although it was a hot and dry day, he had broken out in a cold sweat. He repeatedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go and make arrangements right away. Please, honorable sir, say some good words for me to the emperor."

  ......

  The door creaked open with a groan.

  The shopkeeper, with a head full of sweat and a bitter smile on his face, stood pitifully at the door, bowing repeatedly: "Honorable guests, I'm really sorry to have wronged you today. The Prince of Yan has arrived, please hurry out, and I'll double the amount of silver as compensation."

  By the shopkeeper's side stood a seventeen or eighteen year old eunuch, obviously that happy eunuch.

  Fresh lips and white teeth, also considered handsome. However, the arrogance in his eyebrows is quite off-putting.

  Jiang didn't want to confront the King of Yan directly, so he immediately replied, "We'll leave now." He stood up as he spoke. Ling Jingxu and Ling Xiao also rose to their feet.

  The old man saw that everyone understood, and a hint of self-satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

  The emperor had six sons, two of whom died young. Four grew up into adulthood.

  The eldest son Yang Yan is the offspring of the late Empress Jiang, and is currently the Crown Prince.

  The third son of Yang Jian was born by Li Shufei, and was enfeoffed as Prince An. The fourth son of Yang Jian was born by Zhao Defei, and was enfeoffed as Prince Kang.

  The youngest king of Yan, Yang Yi, is fifteen years old this year. He is the biological son of Empress Xu.

  Who doesn't know that the emperor's most beloved is none other than the youngest son, Prince Yan? As an inner attendant by Prince Yan's side, Xi Gonggong naturally also developed a spoiled and arrogant temperament.

  Unexpectedly, someone dared to provoke today.

  "I won't leave!" The lovely girl sat in front of the round table, motionless, with a stubborn face: "Obviously we came in first, why should we leave."

  Everyone: "......"

  The old man was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly became furious: "Who are you? How dare you snatch the elegant room of Prince Yan's mansion, do you want to die?"

  Ling Jingyan's whole body trembled slightly, unsure whether it was due to fear and apprehension or the excitement of seeing King Yan, or perhaps a combination of both: "Everything has its order. We've already sat down. Are you going to drive us out again? Is this the way the esteemed King Yan does things?"

  Jiang's scalp felt numb, and he looked at Ling Jingyan with a "are you crazy" gaze.

  How can you talk nonsense like this?

  This happy old man was obviously a trusted aide of the King of Yan, and judging by his appearance, he was also someone who loved to stir up trouble. If he were to tell the King of Yan what Ling Jingyan had said, wouldn't the king be furious?

  Before Mr. Jiang could open his mouth, a lazy voice of a young man sounded:

  "Who is it that dares to speak ill of me behind my back?"

  ......

  The King of Swallows is here!

  No one reacted as quickly as Xi Gong, who immediately turned around and knelt down: "Reporting to Your Highness, the shopkeeper of this Ding Xiang Lou is really too detestable. He actually gave Your Highness's private room to other guests. I ordered the shopkeeper to ask these guests to leave, but unexpectedly these guests refused to leave. They even dared to insult Your Highness. Is it tolerable or not? Your Highness absolutely cannot easily forgive these people!"

  Jiang's face changed color.

  This happy old man is simply fanning the flames and maliciously smearing with all his might!

  In case Yan Wang Gong's face really turns red with anger, today they will really bring trouble to the Ling family!

  Ling Jingyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard the voice of Yan Wang. She involuntarily stood up and turned around, looking towards the direction of the door.

  Ling Jingxu also looked past silently without a word.

  As soon as Old Man Xi finished speaking, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy appeared before everyone's eyes.

  The young man's skin was fair and his eyebrows were long. A pair of slightly narrow eyes floated with a careless smile, and the gaze shifted between them. It seemed to be able to charm people's hearts, making their heartbeats accelerate and their hearts flutter.

  The young man wore a crimson robe with gold trim, a white jade belt around his waist, and from it hung an exquisite perfume sachet and a sheep fat jade pendant. He held a paper fan painted with beauties in his hand, and on his fingers he wore ink jade rings.

  Such luxurious attire would only look gaudy on an ordinary young man, but on him, it seemed perfectly natural and even more accentuated his noble and proud demeanor.

  Power is overwhelming, wealth and nobility are intimidating.

  This young man is none other than the youngest son of Her Majesty the Queen, Yan Wang, who is most favored by His Imperial Majesty!

  She finally saw him again!

  Ling Jingyan completely forgot her fear and stared blankly at the crimson-clothed youth.

  Ling Jingxu was also staring at this young man, but the chill in her heart grew thicker.

  She has a grudge against Changping Princess and Xu Empress, and she wants to avenge herself. She is naturally at odds with the King of Yan...

  As soon as the King of Yan appeared, no one dared to speak casually again. The shopkeeper knelt down and begged for mercy: "It's all the fault of this humble person, please forgive me, Your Highness..."

  The King of Swallows didn't even glance at the shopkeeper, his gaze sweeping around in a circle.

  That high and mighty air of superiority is exactly like that of the Crown Prince.

  The crown prince was cold and taciturn, which made him even more majestic. But this King of Yan had a few more hints of arrogance and recklessness. He was so unscrupulously and unreservedly sizing up the crowd.

  When he saw Ling Jingyan staring at him blankly with her eyes, the King of Yan's expression did not change. He only glanced at her briefly before shifting his gaze away.

  Then, Ling Jingxu's face, still radiant and beautiful without any makeup, appeared before his eyes.

  The king of Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Was it you who just spoke, the young girl?"

  Ling Jingyan: "......" (pausing), ...
