Tantai frowned unpleasantly, "You scared her."
Tantai Zhi obviously saw it too. His smile softened a little and he nodded towards the carriage, "Please don't panic, I don't mean to offend the girl."
This snow-white, slender hand trembled and curled up in Tantai Shi's palm, and the meridians under the thin skin were green, pitiful and cute.
When Tantai was chasing people away, "You know you're scary, why don't you leave quickly?"
"I want to wait here, you go in first." Tantai Zhi said. When he said this, his long eyelashes were half closed, his white jade-like earlobes were dyed red, and the lingering smile in his eyes was extremely moving.
Tantai Shi felt that such a smile was very annoying, and it made him feel a dark swamp in his heart - why was Tantai Zhi so happy?
Tantai Shi gave a fake smile, and he directly opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing the slender girl inside, "Don't be afraid, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know how to eat people."
"Come out."
The girl sitting in the carriage was caught off guard and exposed to the eyes of outsiders.
She looked at Tantaishi in silence, and saw the indifference and darkness in his eyes that could not be rejected.
Ling Chan put on her curtain hat, covered her face tightly, and supported Tantai Shi's hand to get out of the carriage.
The system in my mind is screaming crazily: [Fortunately, the prince is standing to the side and can’t see your face...]
【Damn Tantai Shi! He did it on purpose! He just wants the prince to see your face! Why is he so bad? ——No,] the system suddenly became confused: [He doesn’t know that you have an appointment with the prince? 】
Ling Chan lowered her eyes and stood quietly beside Tantai Shi, feeling the prince's eyes on her. She didn't leave for a long time. When she heard Tantai Shi, she impatiently criticized the prince and held her hand, feeling strange. and bid farewell to the prince.
They looked like shy young lovers after joking.
But the system knows otherwise.
Because Lingchan's voice was smiling, and she said calmly: "Of course King An knows that I have an appointment with the prince, otherwise why would he suddenly come to me to watch the lanterns?" 】
[We are not an unmarried couple who admire each other. 】
[But he seems to like you quite a lot...won't he be sad...]
[Wang An also likes the original body, which does not prevent him from pushing the original body to die for the sake of his clean and innocent reputation. After the original person died, he would think of all the good things about her in his midnight dreams, but if he did it again, he would still make the same choice. 】
[The world's wealth is right in front of you, and supreme power is at your fingertips. What does emotion mean? 】
…
When he was in Tantai, he said goodbye to the prince, took the girl beside him and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Tantai Zhi's voice was light and airy, "I'll go in with you... maybe the person I'm waiting for is waiting for me inside."
The smile in his voice disappeared at some point.
The atmosphere was weird, but I couldn't seem to feel it when I stood on the stage. I spread my arms carelessly and hung them on Lingchan's shoulders, talking to her with a smile, "This Yangliuqing restaurant has a very good sweet and sour pork dish. You will definitely like it too." of……"
The prince's voice was calm, "It's already night, and the sweet and sour pork is sweet and greasy, which is not good for your health. Why not have a dish of Longjing shrimps, which is light and nourishes the stomach."
"It's so bitter. What girl likes it?" Tantai sneered.
The prince sighed and shook his head helplessly, "You are so old, but you still have the temper of a child."
The hand that was pressing on Ling Chan's shoulder when she was standing on the stage suddenly tightened. She frowned in pain and unconsciously moved forward to hide.
When he stood on the stage, he spread his fingers, held her slender shoulders, and forcefully brought her close to him. He smiled casually and said, "I am a person with a beautiful girl by my side. Brother, it's time for you to work harder, right?"
"Why doesn't the person you're waiting for come? Could it be that you have found someone you like more?"
He smiled, as if he was joking, but there was deep malice in his eyes, and his palms were so strong that they almost crushed Ling Chan's shoulders.
The prince's expression softened.
Tantai Shi continued to laugh and said, "In that case, why don't Your Highness the Crown Prince eat with us? In such a lively Lantern Festival, it's too lonely to watch the lanterns alone."
He could feel a soft little hand on his waist, tugging on his clothes with pleading.
His smile doesn't change.
He looked at the prince almost provocatively.
The prince's face was dull, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't tell what his emotions were. He said slowly: "Okay."
The girl in Tantai's arms tensed her shoulders.
The prince continued: "The girl I'm waiting for should be arriving soon. Wait for me to pick her up and come to have dinner with you."
"Okay." Tantai Shi almost couldn't wait and agreed immediately.
…
The prince went downstairs to pick up people, and when he was in Tantai, he took Lingchan upstairs for dinner.
In the private room facing the lake that had been booked long ago, more than a dozen plates of various delicacies were served, and he recommended her favorite dishes to her with a smile.
"This sweet and sour pork is delicious, this pine nut fish is also delicious, and..."
Lingchan declined, "Your Highness, I don't like sweets."
"These dishes are really delicious. They are all carefully selected by me! You will definitely like them."
"But I don't like sweets."
Putting down his chopsticks when he was in Tantai, he said calmly: "How do you know if you don't eat?"
"I don't know how these dishes taste," Lingchan said calmly, "but I hate sweet dishes."
Tantai's eyes were slightly narrowed, his face had fallen, but his tone was still light, "But this table is full of sweets, we can't... you have to be hungry all night, right?"
He said he couldn't go hungry, but the meaning behind his words was clearly: If Lingchan didn't eat the food on the table, he would starve Lingchan all night.
The atmosphere in the box became increasingly dangerous. The two sat opposite each other, their expressions undisguisedly cold and bored.
At this time, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open.
A crisp, lively girlish voice came in, "Brother Prince, why did you suddenly invite me out to watch the lanterns? Others will misunderstand you like this! I am your sweetheart! If it weren't for the sake of our family ties, I would I’m just ignoring you!”
The girl with a round face and a sweet smile is wearing an exaggerated gold brocade skirt with a pattern of butterflies and flowers, which is lively and noisy. As she moves, the gold and silver threads woven into the cloth shimmer under the light.
Very sparkling, very exaggerated.
She walked in with a smile and immediately saw Tantai Shi and Lingchan sitting there.
Then he got furious.
"Dan! Tai! Shi! I invited you to see the lanterns, but you told me that you were busy and didn't have time to celebrate the festival. Your only occupation is to accompany other women to Yangliuqing for dinner?!"
"I thought we were in love, but you just took me as a joke?"
She ran forward angrily and was about to slap this damn heartless man with both hands. When she stood up, she clicked her tongue and grabbed her hand impatiently.
"Just scold me, don't touch me."
His wide sleeves unfolded, revealing the dirty, dusty footprints on the clothes that had faded.
Xie Linyu was furious, "You tell me not to do anything, but you are willing to let others kick you?"
She pulled her hand away hard and her voice became colder, "Just think that I misjudged the person and sincerely fed the dog!"
He turned around, covered his face and ran away.
Tantai Zhi's voice sounded leisurely, with artificial surprise, "You... are you actually in this kind of relationship? I didn't even know about it!"
Tantai Shi's face was dark. He gave Tantai Zhi a cold look, then turned to look at Ling Chan, his voice indifferent, "I'll leave first, you can go home early."
Then he stood up and strode away without looking back, chasing the girl who ran away.
The air in the box became quiet.
Lingchan wore a curtain hat and sat quietly at the table.
In front of him was food that had been slightly cold, the fat and vegetable soup had solidified, and the lard was white, making it unappetizing at first glance.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been put off by her, had a light and unpredictable smile.
