On the one hand, Yan Ling knew very well that it would definitely be difficult for the two of them to get married. When they could finally get married, who knew how long it would be.

On the other hand, this was also because he was a little afraid. Yan Ling had always felt that getting married was something that required a lifetime. After what happened in his previous life … Even if he knew that Liang He wasn't Liang Yi, Yan Ling would not easily hand him over.

In the end, the two of them did not continue the topic. Instead, they began to prepare Princess Yan's birthday present.

Liang He casually waved his hand and got someone to pick one of the items from his warehouse.

Yan Ling, on the other hand, was troubled. Princess Zhao Yan and she had become close friends. Although they could no longer be fooled as they had been in the past, things were going to get troublesome now.

While Yan Ling was racking his brains, another person in the Prime Minister's residence was digging out a gift.

Ever since the previous failure to frame Yan Ling, Princess Zhao Yan and Yan Shuang had become a lot more distant. After that, Princess Zhao Yan and Yan Ling became very close.

If it was before, Yan Shuang would naturally not care about this, but now, Yan Ling was like a completely different person.

In addition, the change in the Third Prince's attitude towards Yan Ling had made Yan Shuang anxious. She was anxious to find a place to hug before starting anew one step at a time.

Yan Ling was now on good terms with Princess Zhao Yan. Princess Zhao Yan and Yan Shuang had a good relationship before this as well. With this, Princess Zhao Yan had become Yan Shuang's best target.

The day had come, and Yan Ling and Yan Shuang had basically fallen out with each other. In this sort of situation, the two of them had their own thoughts. Naturally, they would not be able to ride another carriage.

Since Yan Shuang wanted to curry favor with Princess Zhaoyan, she naturally had to do so before Yan Ling. Thus, she had her men go out early in the morning.

Yan Ling did not know what she was thinking, so he waited patiently for her to finish packing up before going over. However, even if Yan Ling knew what Yan Shuang was thinking, he probably wouldn't mind at all.

From the very beginning, Yan Ling had not provoked the relationship between Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Shuang. If that was the case, then Princess Zhaoyan's estrangement naturally meant that she knew something. Yan Ling believed that Princess Zhaoyan was not a fool. She naturally knew who she was supposed to get close to.

Perhaps she really hadn't thought of bringing any gifts, but Yan Shuang actually walked out the door empty-handed and headed for the county governor's mansion.

Princess Guangyan was now one of the top two. According to her thoughts, if someone were to make the 'I don't want to pay attention to you' look so obvious, she definitely wouldn't approach them. However, Yan Shuang seemed to have not noticed anything as she stuck to Princess Guangyan's words.

The jade pendant that Yan Shuangqian had sent over was chosen. Princess Zhaoyan did not even glance at it before instructing her subordinates to set it aside.

In the past, Princess Zhao Yan had only wanted to protect Yan Shuang when she saw how delicate and weak she looked. Now that she saw Yan Shuang deliberately putting on an act, she felt a wave of disgust.

Moreover, today was the birthday of Princess Yaoyan, so naturally, as the protagonist, she couldn't easily lose her temper. Thus, she had no choice but to allow Yan Shuang to play around in front of her, constantly muttering in her heart, "Yan Ling, why aren't you here yet?"

Yan Shuang told Princess Zhao Yan to stay here, and told her many things about them. Yan Shuang hoped that this way, she would be able to make Princess Zhao Yan remember her memories.

However, in the eyes of Princess Zhaoyan, those were things that she had done because she was young and ignorant. She had seen no one and had done such a shameful thing. And now, they were actually being counted as one of their own. They felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, just as Princess Zhaoyan was about to lose her patience, the maidservants outside came to report that Yan Ling had arrived.

Princess Guangyan's expression immediately changed as she performed — from dejected to full of vigor. She immediately called for Yan Ling to come in as well.

According to Princess Zhaoyan's thoughts, Yan Shuang and Yan Ling had always been at odds. Now that Yan Ling had come, Yan Shuang should have left. However, Princess Zhaoge did not expect that Yan Shuang would still remain so thick-skinned.

"I didn't expect that elder sister would come so soon. It's been a long time since I've seen elder sister." Yan Shuang said with a smile.

Princess Guangyan clenched her fist and took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. Normally, she would be too lazy to speak with such people, but today was her birthday. She didn't want to ruin the atmosphere for such a person without a reason.

"The two of you have never seen each other before. It really is a coincidence that you only just met here." Princess Guangyan finally narrowed her eyes and taunted Yan Shuang. She did not care about Yan Shuang's expression as she turned her head to wait for Yan Ling.

Yan Shuang naturally understood the meaning behind Princess Clear Yan's words, but she pretended as though she didn't understand as she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart.

When Yan Ling entered, Yan Shuang could not help but start acting like a demon as she watched Princess Yan Ling pull him to her side and sit down.

"Sister and elder sister have not seen each other for a long time. I wonder what gift sister has prepared for Princess Zhaoyan this time?" Yan Shuang said with a smile.

Yan Shuang had purposely asked when she saw that Yan Ling was empty-handed, as though he had nothing to do.

Although Yan Ling knew what she meant, before he could say anything, Princess Zhao Yan spoke first, "I'm already very happy that Yan Ling is here to give me my birthday. Why would I need a present?"

Yan Shuang's expression was slightly ugly, but she still smiled and said, "Princess Zhaoyan values relationships greatly. What you say is naturally correct, but in the end, it still doesn't conform to the rules. If this were to spread out, it would probably be unpleasant to hear. Furthermore, I have a good relationship with Princess Yaoyan, there's no way you wouldn't prepare for it, right? "

Yan Ling narrowed his eyes. Yan Shuang was teaching him that he didn't understand the rules. At the same time, she was purposefully provoking their relationship.

Without any intention to defend himself, Yan Ling took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "Isn't the most precious thing in the world a genuine one? The princess and I treat each other sincerely, so we naturally don't need any gifts. As for what others think, it's not important. Furthermore, there are only the three of us here, how would outsiders know? "

Yan Shuang was momentarily at a loss for words. Yan Ling was warning her that if the matter of not preparing the gift was criticized by others, she was the one who said it.

When Princess Guangyan saw Yan Shuang, who had pestered her for so long, she was momentarily rendered speechless. Unexpectedly, she was overjoyed. Inwardly, he was impressed. As expected, Yan Ling knew how to speak.

"What Yan Ling said is true. As long as we treat each other sincerely, we don't need any gifts. "The two of us are going to talk some more. Is Second Miss Yan going to stay here with us?"

Princess Guangyan narrowed her eyes. Looking at Yan Shuang's embarrassed appearance, she felt a rare sense of joy in her heart. It was as though she was venting her anger.
