Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  Distracted?

  Forget it!

  "I'm not going." ← Baidu search → [Wu Shu?] Ling Jingyan said without thinking: "If it's boring, I'd rather stay on the boat."

  She wouldn't dare go to the dock again even if you beat her to death.

  The last bandit they met didn't have eyes, and he didn't notice this beauty. What if this time they meet a group of people with eyes who take a fancy to her?

  Jiang said: "A Yan said that it's better not to go. There are still a few days left, and after enduring for a while, it will pass."

  Ling Xi looked at Ling Jingxuan again.

  Ling Jingyu's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled slightly: "Since Eldest Sister-in-law and Yan Tangjie are staying on the boat, I'll stay too!"

  Smiling face like flowers, gentle and elegant.

  In Ling Xi's mind, however, that blood-stained dagger appeared once again...Ling Xi composed himself and cleared his throat, saying: "It doesn't matter. The dock is crowded with people, it's not necessary to go."

  "But you've been cooped up in this cabin all day, it's too stuffy. I'll take a few of you to the second deck for some fresh air."

  Just standing on the deck for a while won't attract any bandits, will it?

  Everyone had no objection this time.

  Call Ling Xiao again, a total of five people plus the servants and apprentices, there are more than ten people. Standing on the second deck of the official boat, the momentum is quite impressive.

  Fortunately, there were six ships in front of it blocking the way, and this official ship was still some distance from the dock.

  Ling Xi deliberately glanced at the dock a few times, but couldn't see clearly from afar, only seeing vague human shadows, and then felt relieved.

  Ling Jingyu and Ling Xiao stood together whispering softly. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, she lifted up her head.

  On the deck of a neighboring ship, a handsome young man in a dark-colored brocade robe stood with his hands behind his back.

  The bright sunlight in the afternoon poured a layer of gold on his face.

  His originally cold and handsome face had a few more gentle touches, and was no longer so overbearing. It also brought out his beautiful appearance and outstanding demeanor even more.

  That night when they first met, this Prince Taisun gave her a really bad first impression.

  Aloof, haughty, with a gaze that looks down on the masses from a high and mighty position, other people's lives are as insignificant as ants in his eyes.

  Even if it saved her life, it was done with a carefree attitude. If she were to panic and lose control... those stray arrows would not only take the bandit's life! She would also be doomed!

  In such a situation, she found it hard to feel too much gratitude towards this "savior". After searching for the book on Baidu, she went to thank him. She was even more cautious and guarded.

  In recent days, she had heard many things about him from Ling Jingyan and Jiang Shi respectively, and her impression of the crown prince had slightly improved.

  Born into royalty, he was the eldest grandson by birth and the future crown prince. On the surface, he was majestic and powerful. In reality, he was surrounded by crises. Openly and secretly, countless eyes were watching his every move, waiting for him to make a mistake.

  Growing up in such an environment, one can't help but become deeply bitter and ruthless.

  ......

  The crown prince was also looking at Ling Jingxu.

  The two ships were just a stone's throw away from each other, separated by mere meters.

  She could see him clearly and he could also see her clearly.

  She lost the pale stubbornness of that night. Also lost was the vigilance and defense of the day she thanked him, her bright eyes like water, rippling with a shallow smile. Under the sunlight, her hair was scattered freely, clear and beautiful.

  Her eyes touched his briefly, then she withdrew her smile and quickly turned her head to one side.

  The crown prince let out a soft hum in his heart.

  What does she mean? Doesn't she want to see him? He just doesn't meet her expectations!

  "Wang Tong," the Crown Prince said calmly, "I'm alone here with no one to talk to. Go and call Ling Xi over."

  Wang Tong responded with a sound of assent.

  The crown prince added casually: "Let the sisters come over too! The more people, the merrier."

  Wang Tong: “......”

  Isn't Prince Taishun the one who dislikes noise the most? Today, he actually took the initiative to call someone over to talk.

  Is the sun rising from the west?

  With this dazed look, the noble Grandson of Heaven glared over again: "Still not leaving quickly?!"

  Wang Tong nodded and quickly retreated after receiving his orders.

  This time, the Crown Prince didn't bring any palace maids or eunuchs. As a result, he, the leader of the East Palace Guards, ended up doing errands and passing messages. He was often looked down upon and criticized by the Crown Prince.

  Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.

  ......

  Wang Tong silently lamented in his heart, but his movements were very swift and agile. He quickly arrived at the shipboard next door and smiled at Ling Xi, saying: "Ling Gongzi, Ta Sun Gongzhu is idle with nothing to do, inviting you over for a chat."

  Ling Xi was somewhat surprised, but more of it was being favored and flattered, and she hastily agreed.

  These days, I have to follow Father every day to pay respects to the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, this Crown Prince is not easy to get along with, always with a cold and indifferent expression.

  No wonder.

  Ling Dàyé is just a minor official in the Ministry of Works. He doesn't even have the qualifications to attend small court meetings. Naturally, he wouldn't catch the eye of the Crown Prince. Moreover, the Crown Prince usually sees flattering and fawning faces every day, and has long been fed up with them. How would he have the mood to care about the Ling family?

  This time, the Crown Prince saved the Ling family and traveled together. They often met, and their relationship became more cordial.

  "Cousin brother, you and cousin sister-in-law go ahead, I and Ah Xiao won't go." Ling Jingyu suddenly said.

  Men and women are different! A young lady in her boudoir should indeed not expose herself.

  Just as Ling Xi was about to nod, Wang Tong smiled and said: "The Crown Prince has spoken. With more people, it's also more lively. It's just casual conversation, Miss Ling doesn't have to be so polite. Let's go together!"

  Ling Xi: "......"

  Ling Jingxu also had some unexpected surprises.

  However, Wang had already said so much and it was inconvenient to refuse again. Moreover, she wanted to borrow the Crown Prince's power to avenge herself, and in the future, she would inevitably have to wait for an opportunity to get close...

  Ling Jingxuan quickly gathered her thoughts and smiled in response: "Thank you, Commander Wang. In that case, I'll take my leave."

  Ling Xi looked at Ling Jingxuan with a thoughtful expression, but restrained herself and didn't make a sound.

  Jiang's thoughts were quick, and she exchanged a knowing glance with her husband, smiling as she took Ling Jingyu's hand: "Ah-jing, let's go now, lest the Crown Prince wait too long."

  Ling Jing answered calmly and composedly.

  The group of people soon arrived in front of the Crown Prince.

  Ling Xi was just about to pay his respects when the Crown Prince's voice rang out: "Since we meet every day, let's dispense with these mundane formalities."

  "Thanks, Your Highness Taizun!" Ling Xi was also a quick-witted person and indeed did not make another bow.

  Since His Highness Ta Sun wants to show his humble and approachable side, they don't have to insist on bowing either. Lest it offends His Highness Ta Sun.

  The crown prince was clearly not good at small talk, and the others did not dare to speak out of turn. For a moment, they looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

  Anyway, Ling Jingxu did not intend to speak.

  Her eyes swept hastily across the crown prince's face before she lowered her head.

  The Crown Prince Taeson, who had been paying attention to her every move, naturally did not miss this subtle action, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  ......(。)

  P.S: Don't you think Ling Jingyan is actually very cute, and Ling Xi is a good older brother O(∩_∩)O~.
