Proofread by Yin Jing
"Well, what's the matter?" Princess Zhaoyan doesn't know what happened and looks at Yuling with a little dissatisfaction.
Yu Ling doesn’t know what to do with her princess. She takes a few steps forward and whispers at Princess Zhaoyan's ear, "It’s time for the banquet, Your Highness."
Princess Zhaoyan is a little surprised. Seeing that the guests are looking at her from time to time, she understands that her mind has been wandering for so long. For a while, she feels a little embarrassed.
But Yan Ling doesn't notice this at all, because now, the Crown Prince is sitting next to her.
Yan Ling doesn't understand what happened to Liang He today. Liang He paid great attention to courtesy before when there were many people around. They sit separately and don’t have much intimacy.
Today... It's strange. When Liang He sees Yan Shuang is sitting next to Yan Ling, he frowns subconsciously, then gets up and goes to Yan Shuang.
"Excuse me, Miss Shuang. I think this is my seat." Liang He says slowly. His deep voice is a prefect disguise for his mind.
"Ah?" Yan Shuang is stunned.
Although Princess Zhaoyan is the hostess of this banquet, Yan Shuang is also involved in it. It has never been heard until now that the seats are arranged in this way.
Generally, unless it's a formal banquet, the seats will not be strictly arranged. People will be all seated with their acquaintances according to their status.
Although Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t announce the beginning of this banquet, most of the people invited have arrived. Liang He's action at this time is a little abrupt, which attracts many people's attention.
Yan Ling feels a little unexpected. Liang He turns around without any discomfort, smiles at Yan Ling, and stands there, waiting for Yan Shuang to get up.

Yan Shuang is not a fool, either. She understands after a while that it’s just a lie that Liang He made up so that he can sit next to Yan Ling.
Being forced to give her seat away in the public, even if the man who asked is the Crown Prince, Yan Shuang still feels very embarrassed. Her face is slightly red, and she bites her lips, as if to say something.
However, when Yan Shuang finds out that the person sitting next to the Crown Prince's original seat is the Third Prince, Yan Shuang is no longer reluctant.
Yan Shuang stands up and ignores Liang He, who was standing beside her. Instead, she directly bypasses him and walks towards the Third Prince.
Yan Shuang's posture is elegant, walking with small steps, excitedly and nervously. She can't help but secretly look up at the Third Prince. When she finds that the Third Prince is smiling at her, Yan Shuang feels her heart beating faster.
"What's the matter? Are you scared? "
The party has begun for a long time, but Yan Ling just looks at the things in front of her as if in a daze. Liang He looks at her several times and she keeps the same gesture, so he asks her.
"Nothing, just thinking about something..." Yan Ling answers softly, but her eyebrows almost screw together.
"Still wondering who pushed you just now?" Liang He puts the glass on his lips and asks slowly.
Yan Ling is a little surprised and blurts out: "how do you know?"
"Tong Feng just told me." Liang He's eyes become dark, and he looks at the one who is looking at the Third Prince shyly.
Yan Ling thinks for a while and then she realizes that Tong Feng is the young man following Liang He. He was there just now. After failing to stop Princess Zhaoyan, he retreated to Yan Ling.

"Then did he see who it is?" Yan Ling asks eagerly.
Just now there were many people, and Yan Ling was shocked for a while, and she forgot that she was pushed before. After the banquet begins, Yan Ling sits alone and feels bored, then she suddenly thinks of this.
"Ling'er, how is your relationship with your twin sister?" Liang He seems to be doing his own business, but he is talking to Yan Ling.
"It's her!" All of a sudden, Yan Ling understands. Her eyes look a little fierce.
Yan Ling didn't expect that Yan Shuang started to plan her death so early.
At the end of the banquet, Princess Zhaoyan orders to remove all the remains on the table. When all the people are confused, two lines of maids with the tray come in and put the trays in front of everyone.
When they see the contents on the tray, people are slightly surprised except for Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Shuang.
Waist round hammer, spoon, long handle fork, blade, needle… Aren’t these the eight tools for eating crabs? If they appear in October, it's not surprising. But it's June now, and it’s not the best time to eat crabs.
Princess Zhaoyan’s arrangement confuses everyone. If it's not for eating crabs, what do they do with these things?
But soon the crowd is speechless. Steamed crabs are served.
These crabs are much smaller than what they usually eat, and the color seems to be more yellow. Most of these young noble people in the capital eat hairy crabs that are in season in September or October. They haven't seen crabs like these.
Princess Zhaoyan sits in the seat of the hostess and explains: "I thought that you have eaten hairy crabs for countless times. I'm afraid you're tired of them. So I prepared something new for you to taste."
All of them are at a loss for a moment. They know that Princess Zhaoyan likes to try something new from time to time. But, after all, it's something they haven't seen. It would be really strange if they don't worry.
"You don’t need to worry. This kind of crab is called 'June yellow’ in folk. Now it’s the perfect time for tasting them. Do you still worry?" Princess Zhaoyan feels a little embarrassed because no one eats these crabs.
Hearing this, people stop hesitating anymore. After all, there are so many people here, and all of them are celebrities in the capital. Even if Princess Zhaoyan won't be too unreasonable.
Yan Ling looks at the set of tools on the table, and suddenly feels they are troublesome. It's not that she doesn’t know how to use them, but she really doesn’t like the troublesome process, and she is not used to them all the time. Now she is at a loss.
Seeing that people around begin to eat, and then thinking about Princess Zhaoyan's temper, Yan Ling also picks up the troublesome tools.
But she still thinks that they really have no practical function. Apart from being elegant, they are very inconvenient to eat crabs. Yan Ling cannot understand why those literati would invent such things.
"Ah? You didn’t use the tools correctly, sister." Yan Shuang seems surprised, and then pretends to realize suddenly that she said something that she shouldn’t have said and covers her mouth in a hurry.
