Chapter 108 Hickey
Ling Qingyan didn't mean to provoke him like this, but she was really annoyed by his questions.
Is she still thinking about someone else?
Nope.
Not only were those people not there, even Ling Zhuoan was not there.
Ask, ask, ask, are you satisfied now?
Ling Qingyan tilted her head. If someone else had seen the prince's expression, they would have knelt down and begged for mercy, but she stared back fearlessly, not afraid of the prince's wrath at all.
"How about it? Are you satisfied, brother?" The girl raised her head provocatively and looked at the man in front of her with a smile.
"Satisfied." Ling Zhuoan gritted his teeth.
The next moment, Ling Qingyan felt a chill on her neck. The man's big hand grabbed the back of her neck and pulled the girl hard.
"Hmm——" Ling Zhuoan suddenly stopped the girl's chattering lips. Ling Qingyan had put on lip balm today, and Ling Zhuoan kissed her so hard that the lip balm spread.
As they were about to reach Prince Yong's Mansion, Ling Qingyan finally breathed air through her mouth, but Ling Zhuoan did not stop. His lips were stained with the girl's red and tender lip balm, and he continued to move down to the girl's neck.
"Let me go, Royal Brother!" Ling Qingyan's restless hands were restrained. Ling Zhuoan was like a venomous snake clinging to her, unable to get rid of it. His warm tongue touched the white and tender red marks on her neck.
When he finally let go, there was a noticeable red mark on his fair skin.
Ling Qingyan's breathing was rapid, her cheeks were slightly red from the kiss just now, and her lips looked even more delicate.
Ling Qingyan took out a small bronze mirror from the carriage cabinet, and sure enough, there was an extremely obvious mark on her neck.
Ling Qingyan took out a handkerchief and wiped it, but she could only wipe off the lipstick on the surface. However, the red marks were left by Ling Zhuoan's kiss and would not go away for a while.
She looked at Ling Zhuo'an angrily and said coquettishly, "Ling Zhuo'an, what are you crazy about?!"
"My sister said some things that I don't like to hear, so I have to shut it up." Ling Zhuoan said as a matter of course.
"What about this?" Ling Qingyan pointed at the mark on her neck angrily.
Traces that make people think about it.
Ling Zhuo'an's eyes didn't waver, as if Ling Qingyan was praising him, and he looked very happy, "It's the trace of my royal brother."
"If I don't leave any traces, how can others think I'm worse than an animal? How can I make those who covet the treasure give up?"
"Have you got my permission?" This is too ambiguous, Ling Zhuoan is simply too shameless.
Ling Zhuo'an thought about it and said with a smile: "The emperor's sister can also fall on me."
"Even on the face."
Ling Qingyan's eyelids rolled back, and she was speechless to the person in front of her.
The wheels of the East Palace's carriage stopped, and two important figures came down in full view of the crowd.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Tangning."
Everyone saluted.
Ling Qingyan saw all of their actions, whether they were looking at her or talking about her, but there was no sign of any particular malice towards her.
It's rather... compassionate?
It's strange that he didn't scold her.
"Princess Tangning is truly pitiful. Her father died in battle, her mother died of depression in the palace, and now she is imprisoned by the Crown Prince, with her freedom restricted."
"Yes, the prince forcibly separated Princess Tangning from her lover."
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't give the princess any food to force her to submit. Princess Tangning couldn't even get enough to eat in the East Palace..."
"Alas, what can we do? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a high position of power, and Princess Tangning has no choice..."
"I heard that Princess Tangning wanted to commit suicide because she didn't want the Crown Prince to make such a big mistake, but the Crown Prince threatened that if she committed suicide, all the servants in the East Palace and Yaohua Palace would be buried with her. That's why she didn't die."
"Oh my god, Princess Tangning actually tried to commit suicide. How did you know that?"
"Of course it was spread by a servant in the palace who knows me. It's definitely not a lie."
"Then His Royal Highness is too... cruel and arbitrary."
"What a pity for such a nice girl."
“…”
Ling Qingyan heard a few words of discussion. She said to Ling Zhuo'an in a low voice, "Oh my god, they're all scolding you, my royal brother."
Ling Qingyan was extremely shocked. Logically speaking, even if there were no people scolding her, and even if there were rumors that she was coerced, there would definitely be people saying that she was a beauty who brought disaster.
But actually... everyone is pitying her?
And some people say she's seeking death?
She said she had no choice and that the prince was cruel and arrogant.
Is this what the rumors outside are saying?
"My royal brother once said that if you are with me, I will not let you bear the blame. I mean what I say. How about being the Crown Princess?" The two whispered.
It's just the foolish words of the world. There is always a way to accomplish what you want to do.
Those unfounded stories were spread by Ling Zhuoan.
He portrayed himself as a lustful tyrant who forced the emperor's sister to death, and then described the emperor's sister's situation as miserable. Many people were moved by this and would scold him.
Of course, there are also those who are stubborn and say that beautiful women are the root of trouble and should be dealt with.
However, before those people could deal with Qingyan, he dealt with them.
Ling Zhuoan was very satisfied listening to the insults.
He was not afraid that someone would have bad intentions because of his stain. He could just suppress it. It was not a difficult task.
As long as someone has the courage.
The seats for the banquet at Prince Yong's Mansion were arranged, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Qingyan and Ling Zhuoan were seated quite far away from each other.
But it is useless to the prince.
The prince only needs to say a word to the person sitting next to him, and the other person will honestly do the prince a favor and move over.
Mu Xianzhi and Ji Yanxing were also present.
The marks on Ling Qingyan's neck were quite obvious.
Ji Yanxing tightened his grip on the wine glass, picked up the cup and drank the liquor in one gulp, then stood up in full view of everyone and walked towards the prince and Ling Qingyan.
Mu Xianzhi also saw the red mark, but he just sneered very subtly. His expression remained calm, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes fell on the girl.
At the same time, he also watched Ji Yanxing walk towards the brother and sister like an outsider.
Other people at the banquet also watched this scene.
If put into the play script, Ji Yanxing and Ling Qingyan are the male and female protagonists, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the villain who separates the male and female protagonists.
When the script was reflected in reality, everyone thought it was even better than the script.
"Your Highness, I have something to tell you." Ji Yanxing bowed and looked into Ling Qingyan's eyes with burning eyes, as if he didn't see the prince next to him.
Ling Zhuo'an raised his eyes and looked at him, "General Ji, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's not convenient for the imperial sister."
He didn't even give Princess Tangning a chance to speak.
Everyone's heart was lifted up.
"I'm asking the princess. Your Highness's behavior seems inappropriate." Ji Yanxing's voice was not low.
The others had already quieted down after seeing this scene.
Watch quietly a play that is more exciting than the script.
Ling Zhuo'an spoke in a rather lazy tone, as if it were a matter of course: "The Imperial Sister's affairs are my affairs. As an elder brother, I rejected you on Qingyan's behalf. It's only natural."
"You said so, Qingyan."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ling Zhuoan's words were threatening.
