Chapter 510 Extra - Apology
"No, no," Shu Tong forced a smile. "Of course I want to go, it's lively."
Chen Ci probably knew what she was thinking, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Mm."
...
When the car arrived at the Lingwang Mansion, the steward and servants were already waiting at the gate. After exchanging greetings, Chen Ci led Shu Tong through the gate and walked towards the main hall.
As Shu Tong walked forward, she realized that the scenery of this garden was extraordinary.
Although both are residences of royalty and nobility, there is no doubt that the styles of the Prince Ling's residence and the Crown Prince's residence are very different.
Everything in the Crown Prince's residence was arranged in a proper and mature manner, just like the impression the Crown Prince himself gave off.
The Ling Prince's Mansion, on the other hand, is more charming, with a scenic view every five steps and a pavilion every ten, complete with flowers, plants, corridors, and birdsong...
Every frame is aesthetically pleasing, resembling the set design of a blockbuster film.
No wonder His Highness Prince Ling was able to come up with the idea of holding a sports meet, and with such a novel design that he could accept different forms of opening ceremonies.
Indeed, he has a way of thinking that is quite different from ordinary people.
Finally arriving at the main hall, Shu Tong heard a middle-aged man's hearty laughter from a few steps away.
Sure enough, when I looked up, I saw a man already standing at the entrance of the main hall.
He wore a dark blue brocade robe, was slightly plump, had a beard, a round face, and small eyes, but his features were well-proportioned, giving him a very kind and approachable appearance.
"Yun Di has arrived," Prince Ling announced loudly.
Chen Ci quickly bowed and greeted him: "Royal Uncle."
Shu Tong also bowed in greeting.
"No need for formalities." Prince Ling came straight over and grabbed Chen Ci's arm: "If my niece-in-law hadn't come along today, I would definitely have punished you for offending her. Why did you make me wait all day the other day without anyone showing up?"
"I'm here today to apologize," Chen Ci said with a smile. "I also brought a gift for the Imperial Uncle."
Prince Ling laughed: "Haha, that's good. It's never a bad thing to be polite."
Shu Tong smiled and thought this Prince Ling was quite interesting.
After taking his seat, Prince Ling instructed the maid beside him, "Go and invite the Princess over; we have distinguished guests today."
The maid responded and hurried away.
Chen Ci and Ling Wang exchanged a few casual words, and then naturally turned the topic to the sports meet. Sure enough, a look of worry appeared on Ling Wang's face: "Speaking of which, the opening ceremony format for this year has not yet been determined, and I am also very troubled."
Hearing them talk about the sports meet, Shu Tong immediately perked up her ears, and then heard Chen Ci say, "I've also heard a little about this. The Imperial Uncle even rewarded a hundred gold pieces for the opening ceremony?"
“Yes,” Prince Ling sighed, “and yet no one has submitted a satisfactory answer! They’re all clichés, with no originality whatsoever.”
Chen Ci smiled, his tone nonchalant: "Is it that difficult? Isn't it because your requirements are too high, Uncle?"
"How about I entrust this task to you?" Prince Ling looked at him with a smile: "I have always known that your Crown Prince's residence has many high-ranking advisors, so I suppose you have some talented people among you."
Chen Ci waved his hand: "I won't take this job."
Ling Wang laughed heartily: "You're still going to take this job. I'll have someone return the gift you gave me as an apology today. How about you apologize in another way and take on the opening ceremony ceremonies?"
Before Chen Ci could express his opinion, another burst of laughter came from the corridor, followed by a flash of an apricot-colored skirt, and a woman entered from outside the door.
With refined and dignified features, clear eyebrows and bright eyes, he possessed a sharp and domineering aura befitting a person in a high position.
Needless to say, it's Princess Ling.
Chen Ci and Shu Tong hurriedly stood up and bowed, but Princess Ling smiled and excused them from the formalities, then came over and took Shu Tong's hand.
“Niece-in-law, I have prepared some fine tea and snacks in my yard. Come on, let’s go chat in the backyard with your aunt.”
