As for why Yan Ling was so worried, it was naturally because of Yan Shuang. Yan Ling had heard that this Princess Zhao Yan and Yan Shuang had a close relationship.

The invitation in Yan Ling's hands had not been sent by Princess Zhaoyan, but had been personally handed over by Yan Shuang. Yan Shuang even specifically asked Yan Ling to go.

From the start, Yan Ling had also thought that it would be better not to cause too much trouble. However, Yan Shuang spoke in front of Yan Ling, whether intentionally or not. She spoke of how much this princess had been doted upon by the emperor.

Furthermore, Princess Guangyan seemed to have a bad temper. This time, she specifically warned Yan Shuang to make sure that Yan Ling would attend the banquet she hosted. After explaining everything, Yan Shuang left with a complacent expression.

Yan Ling could not help but clench his teeth. It seemed that she had never met this Princess Zhao Yan before. Why did Princess Guangyan insist on going when she was hosting a banquet? It was hard to say who would secretly do it.

However, even if he knew that this was a trap set up for him, he had no choice but to go inside.

Yan Ling had heard of the reputation of this princess, but she had always been willful and had a fiery temper. On one hand, it was because he was doted on by the Emperor. On the other hand, no one dared to offend him because of his family background.

Upon hearing that it was this person, Yan Ling knew about it. Most likely, it was because of the previous incident that Yan Shuang wanted to find an opportunity to make a move on him.

It was quite laughable to say that Yan Ling, who had been framed, had yet to say anything. On the other hand, Yan Shuang, who had framed someone else, 'wrongly' was actually going to attack him.

However, even though he said those words, Yan Ling had no choice but to leave. In any case, it was best to take care of the situation once and for all. She wanted to see how Princess Zhaoyan would act in such a unruly manner.

Since it was lunch time, Yan Ling didn't leave home until the time was right. He didn't expect to run into Yan Shuang just as he reached the door.

Yan Ling looked at Yan Shuang and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The way Yan Shuang was acting now didn't seem like she had coincidentally met Yan Ling just as she arrived here. From the looks of it, he seemed to have packed up and waited here for a long time.

As for who he was waiting for, perhaps only Yan Ling would have this kind of 'honor'.

"Is my sister waiting for me with this appearance?" Yan Ling did not pretend he did not see Yan Shuang either. Instead, he walked up to greet her.

When Yan Shuang heard this, she could not help but be slightly surprised. According to Yan Shuang's original plan, she was going to pretend that she had met Yan Ling, and then leave together with him. He had never thought that his thoughts would be seen through so easily.

Although Yan Shuang appeared a little embarrassed, she still said as usual, "Elder sister is right. We are going to Princess Zhao Yan's banquet anyway, otherwise, it would be better if we were together."

Yan Ling smiled and nodded as well. He allowed Yan Shuang to pull him into the carriage with a very quiet demeanor.

"Is my relationship with Princess Zhaoyan very good?" When they got on the carriage, both of them remained silent. Halfway there, Yan Shuang suddenly asked.

Yan Ling was a little confused and asked curiously, "Why do you say that, sister?"

Yan Shuang seemed to be even more confused as she said in puzzlement, "Princess Zhaoge specifically asked me to invite Big Sister at this banquet. I thought you two were very familiar with each other."

Yan Ling suddenly felt that it was somewhat funny. Was it not clear in Yan Shuang's heart why Princess Zhao Yan had done such a thing?

Narrowing his eyes, Yan Ling turned his head and stared at Yan Shuang seriously, but did not say anything for a long while.

Yan Shuang was a little scared by his stare. She said unnaturally, "Is there something on my face?" Why is elder sister looking at me all the time? "

When Yan Ling heard this, the smile on his face became even wider. He opened his mouth slowly and said, "Princess Zhaoyan, why did you do this? The reason for this is, of course, to thank my sister. "

When Yan Shuang heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked. Her expression also changed. Yan Ling looked at Yan Shuang nervously, pretending to be calm.

After a while, Yan Shuang forced out a smile. She looked at Yan Ling embarrassedly and pretended to blink innocently. Your little sister doesn't understand. "

"Oh?" Yan Ling answered carelessly, but it only made Yan Shuang more nervous. She was afraid that Yan Ling already knew something.

"I thought that Princess Guangyan had a good relationship with my younger sister, and that she would help out a lot in this matter." A smile still hung on Yan Ling's face, but he couldn't stop sneering inwardly.

"What is elder sister saying?" It's not like younger sisters would harm older sisters, so why would they do such a thing? "

Yan Shuang thought back to how she had failed at framing Yan Ling, but had lost the ability to serve the maids beside her. She felt a little apprehensive.

"Eh, what is little sister talking about?" Yan Ling did not seem to understand. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Yan Shuang in confusion.

Then, Yan Ling continued, "Big sister once heard from someone that not everyone will have a chance to attend the Feast of the Group Owner. Her elder sister and the princess were strangers, but this time, she received an invitation. She originally thought it was from her younger sister. "When did you ever say that you would harm me?"

Yan Shuang felt a little awkward as she lowered her head to cover it up. "So this is what Big Sister was talking about …"

Yan Ling grinned, looked at Yan Shuang, and said unhurriedly, "Of course, let's talk about this later. Otherwise …" What did my sister think I was talking about? "

Ah!" "Nothing, nothing at all. I was distracted." Although Yan Shuang hid it, she was still a bit proud and disdainful in her heart.

Indeed, not everyone could attend Princess Guangyan's banquet. However, how could she possibly miss out on Yan Shuang?

Looking at Yan Ling's pretty face, which was full of smiles, Yan Shuang could not help but pout her lips, feeling slightly excited in her heart.

Just be happy! I don't believe that you'll be happy after a while. Yan Shuang thought to herself silently.

Since she was the one who had intervened and made Princess Zhao Yan insist on having Yan Ling come forward, then it must not be for the sake of pleasantries, but to make Yan Ling make a fool of himself in front of all the young masters and ladies in the main hall.

Of course, because of her identity as a princess, and because she had been doted upon by the emperor, she was close to the prince. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were also among those invited by Princess Zhaoyan.

He wanted to let Yan Ling make a fool of himself in front of everyone, and let the Crown Prince know that this woman wasn't as good as he thought she was.

At this time, if the third prince appeared and comforted Yan Ling, then capturing the beauty's heart would naturally be as easy as reaching out with his hand.

However, if Yan Ling were to know of such laughable thoughts, he would probably be unable to hold back his laughter. No matter what tricks they had up their sleeves, Yan Ling would not let them succeed so easily.
