Yesterday, Ling Jingshu’s soft pleas were ignored by His Highness the Imperial Grandson.

How come you changed your mind after one night and offered to help?

They say women are fickle. The thoughts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were like needles in the sea!

Wang Tong forgot yesterday’s lesson and couldn’t help exchanging a sad look with Ling Ji again. Fortunately, His Highness the Imperial Grandson did not look back and did not notice Wang Tong’s subtle actions.

Uncle Ling was obviously shocked, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly opened his mouth to express his gratitude: “Thank you so much for your grace, Your Highness. I will go back to the ship and tell the siblings this good news and ask them to come tomorrow to thank Your Highness.”

“There is no need to thank you.” The Imperial Grandson looked calmly: “For me, it is just a small effort. I am not the kind of person who is looking for repayment for favors.”

Naturally, Uncle Ling would not take such words seriously. He smiled diligently and said: “Your Highness is kind-hearted and does not seek repayment for his kindness, which really makes me feel grateful. However, with just a little effort from His Highness, Ah Xiao can be admitted to the Huichun Hall for diagnosis and treatment one day earlier. This kind of kindness is truly appreciated by me. There is nothing to repay. Let Ah Shu and Ah Xiao come and kowtow to express gratitude to His Highness…”

“No need.” The Imperial Grandson said coldly: “I am exhausted, you can retreat!”

Uncle Ling: “.…..”

His Highness the Imperial Grandson’s temper was really fickle.

What you said just now was fine, why did you suddenly fall out?

Uncle Ling did not dare to show his frustration, so he had to stand up and leave.

…

As usual, it was Wang Tong who sent Uncle Ling and his son off again.

Ling Ji slowed down his pace intentionally or unintentionally.

Wang Tong understood and deliberately walked slower.

“Commander Wang worked hard for us yesterday.” Ling Ji’s tone was full of apologies: “I’m sorry for you on behalf of Ah Shu.”

Although Wang Tong felt a little unhappy, it had almost faded away after a night. Hearing this, he responded in a low voice: “Ninth Miss Ling is not to blame for this.”

Ling Ji glanced at the figure of Uncle Ling not far in front and lowered his voice again: “His Royal Highness was still angry yesterday, why is he suddenly willing to help today?”

Wang Tong smiled helplessly: “His Highness’s thoughts are as deep as the sea, how dare I speculate at will.” After a pause, he said: “To be honest, I was shocked when I heard His Highness say that just now.”

Wang Tong didn’t know anything about the relationship beforehand!

This His Highness the Imperial Grandson was really… unfathomable.

Ling Ji was thinking about it when he heard Wang Tong’s voice ringing in his ears again: “There is something I want to tell Mr. Ling. His Highness Taisun has an uncompromising temper. Since he said he didn’t need Ninth Miss Ling to come to express his gratitude, he didn’t need to. If your father really brings them here to express gratitude, I’m afraid His Highness will be unhappy.”

Ling Ji hurriedly thanked: “Thank you, Commander Wang, for reminding me. What to do, I already know.”

No matter what the Imperial Grandson had in mind, in short, don’t let Ling Jingshu show up for a few days.

Wang Tong had a good impression of Ling Ji, who was gentle and open-minded. He patted Ling Ji on the shoulder and said nothing more.

…

After Wang Tong left, Uncle Ling couldn’t help but ask: “Ah Ji, what did you and Commander Wang just whisper about?”

Of course, Ling Ji refused to tell the truth and answered vaguely: “I didn’t say anything. It was just casual. Just chatting and getting closer to him.”

“You did the right thing.” Uncle Ling did not doubt that he was there and praised him with a smile and praised Ling Ji: “Don’t underestimate Wang Tong. He has been the personal bodyguard of His Highness Taisun since he was eight years old. Because of his outstanding performance, he later became the commander of the guards. In front of His Highness Taisun, his words carry quite a good weight. In the future, His Highness Taisun will one day become the Crown Prince and ascend to the throne as the Emperor. At that time, Wang Tong Shao will surely become the commander of the Imperial Guards. Befriend him now. It will benefit you in the future.”

…..Ling Ji had long been aware of his father’s utilitarian and snobbish temperament. He didn’t explain anything and nodded casually.

Uncle Ling was thinking of something and sighed again.

“Why is Father sighing?” As a son, Ling Ji’s filial piety and consideration were beyond doubt.

Uncle Ling looked at his eldest son with joy, but his tone was full of regret: “Ah Shu has such a good appearance that even His Highness Taisun looks at her differently. There is no doubt that she will have a good marriage in the future. Ah Yan, on the other hand, is just as beautiful, but why hasn’t she caught the Crown Prince’s eye?”

Ling Ji: “…”

Uncle Ling didn’t notice Ling Ji’s strange expression and continued: “However, Ah Shu is the daughter of our Ling family. She is my biological niece. If she has a good future, as an uncle, I will be happy for her. Maybe the future glory and wealth of our Ling family will fall on her…”

“Father, it’s too early to talk about this now!”

Ling Ji tactfully interrupted Uncle Ling’s thoughts: “Besides, Ah Shu’s lifelong affairs should be decided by her grandmother and fifth uncle. Father shouldn’t have to worry about it!”

Uncle Ling smiled disapprovingly and said: “I am her biological uncle. Of course, I always think about her. How could I harm her?”

It was a pity that His Highness the Imperial Grandson was very indifferent to Ling Jingyan and did not show the slightest interest. On the contrary, he paid close attention to Ling Jingshu.

Otherwise, how could he have set his sights on Ling Jing Shu?

Ling Ji had no choice but to change the topic: “By the way, you should tell Ah Shu and Ah Xiao first about what His Highness promised just now!”

Uncle Ling waved his hand in a good mood: “Just go and tell them this little thing. Also, tell them both to come with me tomorrow to say hello to His Highness the Imperial Grandson and thank him.”

“Absolutely not!”

Ling When Ji heard this, he immediately frowned and objected: “Father, don’t forget that His Highness Taisun looked unhappy when he mentioned the matter of gratitude just now. It’s really not worth it to make His Highness Taisun angry for such a trivial matter.”

This was true too.

Uncle Ling thought for a while and laughed: “You are right. If they want to thank him, there will be many opportunities in the future. There is no rush in these days.”

After finally settling Uncle Ling, Ling Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Ling Ji went to Ling Jingshu’s cabin and told Ling Jingshu the good news: “…Ah Shu, His Highness Taisun said that after arriving in the capital, let us go to the Prince’s Mansion to get the greeting card. Yes, with His Royal Highness’s name card, you don’t have to wait in line to go to the Huichun Hall.”

Ling Jingshu: “…”

This Imperial Grandson was really fickle and unpredictable!

Yesterday she took the initiative to plead, but he dismissed her. After he was so angry, he took the initiative to speak…

But no matter what, this was indeed good news.

“Thank you, Tángxiōng^[1]Son of father’s brother older in age to her.” Ling Jingshu quickly came to her senses and thanked with a smile: “Should I take Ah Xiao to express gratitude to His Highness?”

Ling Ji coughed and said: “Also, His Highness gave special orders. You and Ah Xiao don’t have to go and thank you.”

Ling Jingshu: “…”
