After the banquet ended, Concubine De had made an excuse that she was tired and wanted to go back and rest, allowing everyone to take care of their own business. She had even called for the third prince.

Yan Ling originally wanted to leave the palace, but Princess Zhaoyan insisted on pulling her along. She said that she had never been to Consort De's palace before and wanted to take a walk with her.

Yan Ling could also tell that Princess Zhao Yan was a playful person. She seemed to be very interested in this palace that she had never been to before. As she thought about it, the person she felt uncomfortable with had already left. Now that she had nothing else to do, she agreed.

However, the two of them had been walking together when Princess Guangyan ran off to who knew where.

Yan Ling was somewhat helpless. She did not like to be wandering around with others in this sort of situation. Thus, she quietly stayed here and waited for Princess Yan to return after finding out that she had disappeared.

Earlier, Liang He had said that he would accompany the two of them. However, Yan Ling had told him to do what he needed to do if he had any matters to attend to, so he didn't need to accompany them. The two of them would be out of the palace soon.

Liang He probably had something on his mind. When he heard Yan Ling's words, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. If that wasn't the case, Yan Ling wouldn't be the only one.

Although Yan Ling wanted to be alone, he never expected that someone would keep their eyes on her and not let her have such a peaceful time.

Actually, Bai Yiyi had already set her sights on Yan Ling when the banquet had ended. She was worried that Yan Ling would leave the palace, leaving her with no chance to make a move. Fortunately, Yan Ling had stayed behind in order to accompany Princess Zhaoyan.

However, in the following period of time, Yan Ling was always walking together with Princess Guangyan. This made Bai Yiyi afraid.

Bai Yiyi was somewhat confident in dealing with Yan Ling alone, but if Princess Guangyan had been by her side the entire time, she might not have dared to do so.

"Who would have thought that Eldest Miss Yan would have the ability to stay here by herself. Where did the princess, who had always been by your side, go to?" Bai Yiyi appeared out of nowhere, her voice tinged with provocation.

"Why am I alone here? Where has Princess Zhaoyan gone to? Is this matter related to you?" Yan Ling said lightly with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Of course, this disdain wasn't because Bai Yiyi was just a concubine, and her status wasn't high enough to speak with her. It was because Yan Ling found it laughable to try to gain face in front of someone weaker than her despite clearly having an inferiority complex in his heart.

It was like if he could bully a few people, he would appear to be very powerful, like those influential young masters and mistresses who had the backing of others no matter what they did in the outside world.

Yan Ling's words meant that he didn't want to talk to Bai Yiyi anymore. However, the two of them didn't look like the same person. In Bai Yiyi's ears, these words were like words that Yan Ling was holding on to as he sneered coldly.

"What's wrong with you now, Miss Yan? Are you angry out of embarrassment? When we were at the entrance of the palace, you looked very pleased with yourself. " Bai Yiyi said in a mocking tone.

Yan Ling carefully sized up the person in front of him. Suddenly, he recalled the words' crazy woman 'that Princess Guangyan had mentioned earlier. It had to be said that these words were not in vain; they were quite reasonable.

After all, Yan Ling could not understand when and where his performance had had something to do with the words "anger out of embarrassment" and "extreme pride". He also did not know where he had offended this "Bai Clan's Young Miss."

Yan Ling had no plans to pester these kinds of people in the palace. Plus, there were no other people around, so if something really happened here, then he would have no way to explain himself.

However, Yan Ling did not want to bother with Bai Yiyi. He wanted to leave immediately, but there was someone who did not want him to do so. Bai Yiyi was already determined to win. How could she let Yan Ling leave?

"What is it? At a time like this, Miss Yan was not as arrogant as she was before. Did she want to leave? "It's not that easy." Bai Yiyi stood in front of Yan Ling and said confidently.

Yan Ling found it both annoying and amusing. Was this a joke to him, or was it a joke to her? It was really hard to understand what a crazy woman was thinking.

"Then, I would like to ask, what is the purpose of Miss Bai leaving me here?" Yan Ling replied respectfully, as Bai Yiyi had previously addressed him.

Yan Lingyi deliberately emphasized the words' Miss Bai ', so it was impossible that Bai Yiyi couldn't make it out.

On the surface, these words seemed to be a reply from Yan Ling to Bai Yiyi in the same way, but there was a lot of mockery in it.

The 'Miss Yan' mentioned by Bai Yiyi was actually hinting that she was using her words to bully others. However, no matter what, Yan Ling was still a great young miss.

However, even if Yan Ling called her in the same way, what did Bai Yiyi count for? If others were to find out that Bai Yiyi was referred to as "Miss Bai", they would probably find it hilarious.

"Yan Ling, what do you mean? Do you think that you're extraordinary just because you were born of a good family?" Bai Yiyi said angrily.

If someone else had said this, Yan Ling might not have thought much of it. After all, there were quite a few people who were born poor and relied on their own efforts to get everything they wanted. However, if Bai Yiyi were to say these words now, it would only make people feel that it was funny.

"No, Miss Bai, you're wrong. I've never felt that birth is good, that status is high, what's the big deal. "I just feel that my birth is not good, my status is not high, and I feel that I am an extraordinary person …" Before he could finish his sentence, he revealed a mocking expression.

Bai Yiyi had always heard that Yan Ling was weak, incompetent, and easily bullied. She had never expected him to be such a sharp-tongued, difficult person to deal with. From the beginning till now, she had never been able to get even the slightest bit of advantage.

"It looks like what others said, the young miss of the Yan family is well-informed, and if she is dignified and generous, it might not necessarily be true." Bai Yiyi choked, as if she didn't know what to say, but she still forced a smile as she spoke.

"What do you mean by hearsay? Are you right?" Yan Lingsi did not care about his reputation and said with a smile.

Just as Bai Yiyi was at a loss for words, Yan Ling pursed his lips once again and said with a smile, "I still remember this saying. Miss Bai seemed to have said it before at the entrance to the palace this morning, but in the end …"

Yan Ling seemed to only be like this when it came to dealing with annoying people. He always kept half of his words to himself. As though she was trying to give her face, before she could finish her words, the mocking smile on the corner of her mouth made people understand that this was clearly not the case.
