Ling Fei jogged for a few steps, and at the next intersection he caught up with Su Taoyao who had an ankle injury and couldn't walk fast.
He stepped forward and grabbed Su Taoyao's arm, his voice a little warm and angry: "It was clearly not your fault just now, why do you have to swallow your anger every time you are bullied?"
Su Taoyao was pulled. She didn't want to talk to Ling Fei, but she shook him off.
Ling Fei looked at it stubbornly, as if he had to give her an explanation.
After all, he is still a young man who is only seventeen years old after the New Year. Even if he will become a powerful and evil leader in the future, he is still a young man with a certain youthful spirit.
Su Taoyao gave a bitter smile and said helplessly: "Young Master Ling, you really don't need to worry about me. Do you think I'm a coward, I'm useless, I only know how to be patient?
But what if I tell you that I have long been used to this kind of bullying and exclusion in Su Mansion?
Before your brother became a young general, I had been living like this in the Su Mansion. Now I'm just going back to the old life. I'm really used to it.
Besides, that is the fifth princess, the prince's sister. Now that you are siding with the prince, it is equivalent to the Ling family's army siding with the prince.
There is no need for you to have a conflict with the fifth princess because of me. If you have a quarrel with the prince by then, the gain will outweigh the loss."
After saying that, Su Taoyao sighed deeply: "Okay, don't worry about me. If you chase me out, the fifth princess will definitely be angry. She may have a little temper. You can talk to her, even if you can't get married...
…”
"Su Taoyao!" Ling Fei lowered his face, unconsciously tightened his hand on Su Taoyao's arm, and emphasized his tone: "You have considered everyone, then why don't you consider yourself? Since you are so capable,
, then why don’t you plan and arrange your own life and future?”
Ling Fei didn't know where he was angry, but he just couldn't stand Su Taoyao's lack of consideration for himself. He really couldn't control his anger.
He himself felt it was strange. He had clearly made up his mind several times that when he met Su Taoyao next time, he must talk to her well and improve his relationship with her.
But when two people meet, he always starts to quarrel with her without even saying a few words because of various problems.
Well, he reluctantly called it a quarrel.
Seeing Ling Fei staring at her so seriously, Su Taoyao was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.
She smiled and said: "I have been practicing in Jizhao Temple for the rest of my life, what else do I need to plan for my future?
My father personally wrote a handwritten letter home asking me to participate in this spring hunting. Before I came, I had no idea that this was their intention.
But now that I have seen through it, I will stay in Jizhao'an from now on and never go out to attend these banquets outside. In this way, these bad things won't happen again, right?"
Ling Fei pursed his thin lips and looked at Su Taoyao with a very complicated look: "So... you still really plan to stay in Jizhao'an for the rest of your life? You didn't go to Jizhao'an to practice in order to hide from the limelight. You were
seriously?"
"Absolutely, what else?" Su Taoyao asked.
This rhetorical question made Ling Fei confused and didn't know what to say.
After a while, he frowned and said, "But you are only eighteen this year..."
Su Taoyao also frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but finally said: "Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your concern, but I feel that my life in Jizhao'an is quite good.
Of course, I will watch you silently, no matter what achievements you achieve, I will tell your brother Ayun, just think that your brother and I are together to accompany you."
This time, after Su Taoyao finished speaking, he took his arm out of Ling Fei's big palm, and Ling Fei stopped holding him.
Su Taoyao blessed Ling Fei with thoughtful etiquette, turned around and followed the guard leading the way to the closing dinner of Spring Hunt.
But Ling Fei stood there, looking at Su Taoyao's back absentmindedly, and watched quietly for a long time. It wasn't until Huo Guang came to see him that he pursed his thin lips tightly and set off for the closing dinner.
Because of the fifth princess's delay, Su Taoyao and Ling Fei arrived at the dinner party too late. If it were any later, the emperor would be there soon.
This time, Su Taoyao's position was at the back of the seat, and she was really dressed plainly and low-key today, so no one noticed her late entrance.
However, the prince arranged Ling Fei's seat next to him, very close to the front, so he entered the room late and immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
But no one blamed him for coming late. After all, it was well known to everyone present that Ling Fei was injured while saving the fifth princess on the first day of hunting.
The prince stood up and greeted him warmly: "Afei, come, sit here and be careful. You have been injured for a few days. Sit next to me so that I can take better care of you."
Ling Fei calmly sat down next to the prince and saluted him appropriately: "Thank you for your concern, I have caused trouble to you."
Today is the closing ceremony. In order to let everyone have a good time, the emperor specially ordered that men and women be seated separately.
In this way, the women can chat more casually while enjoying tea and snacks, and it can be more convenient for the men to eat wine and meat.
The appearance of Ling Fei, who is as handsome as a monster, is the focus of all the female relatives in the room.
Ling Fei used to be famous as a playboy in the capital. Apart from his good-looking face, he had almost no other advantages.
Oh, if I have to say there is any other advantage, it is that unlike other dandy boys, he has never had "love news", and he has never been mentioned in the rumors about Huajieliuxiang.
But Ling Fei is different now. After his brother left, not only was he not crushed, but he grew and rose overnight.
Not only did he become the top pick in high school, but he also gained the prince's trust. Seeing that he could sit next to the prince as soon as he arrived, you can tell that he is now more important and trusted by the prince.
Well, since he is handsome, has obtained a good name, has a rich family background, and has the Ling family army who has always followed him, it is a no-brainer to know how great his future will be, and it will only be a matter of time before he rises to prominence.
Especially since he is not married yet and he is the only one in his family who is dead. After marrying, he will be the wife of a big family and he will not have to serve his parents-in-law.
Which family's little girl wouldn't want to marry Ling Fei like this?
So from the moment he walked in, the eyes of these women were glued to him and never moved away.
The fifth princess, who was sitting in the front row of the women's area, saw these little girls staring boldly at Ling Fei and was so angry that she vented her anger through both nostrils.
Later, when she saw Ling Fei's eyes opposite her, always glancing vaguely towards where Su Taoyao was sitting in the back row of the women's section, she was so angry that she put down her wine glass heavily, and the wine in the glass was shaken.
It had to spill out.
Su Ronger, who was sitting next to her, had always wanted to have a good relationship with the fifth princess who was the most favored in the royal family. Now she saw that the fifth princess was so angry and unhappy.
She took the initiative to come forward and asked like a "close friend": "What happened to the fifth princess tonight? Did she encounter anything distressing?"
