The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Seeing that Yang Ling had agreed, the middle-aged man chuckled.

"In that case, let me set the stage for you, sir!"

The middle-aged man spoke calmly, instructing everyone to begin preparations.

Before long, the gambling table in front of everyone was ready. Yang Ling smiled slightly and looked at the bets in front of him.

As someone who traveled from the future, isn't this thing a piece of cake?

Seeing the wicked smile on Yang Ling's lips, a cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"Hmph, let you be arrogant for a while. You'll find out what death means in a moment," the middle-aged man thought to himself. He was very confident in his gambling skills, after all, he had been specially trained.

The onlookers got excited when they saw that the device was ready, because the most exciting part of a casino is watching others gamble.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that we'd be making a bet on our first meeting. I'm a little embarrassed," the middle-aged man said with a light laugh.

Yang Ling glanced at Chang Qing beside him and smiled slightly. No matter what high-ranking official this person was, he was bound to fall into his hands today.

……

However, when Emperor Liang heard about what Yang Ling had done, he looked extremely displeased.

"He was just appointed Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and now he's acting so presumptuously. Isn't that going a bit too far?"

Emperor Liang spoke in a cold tone, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right! The Ninth Prince is far too disrespectful to his elders. Your Majesty must punish him severely."

The Empress, standing nearby, fanned the flames, her face showing an angry expression.

When the Crown Prince heard that Yang Ling was so audacious, he quickly said, "Father, you must punish him, otherwise who knows what outrageous things he might do next."

"Yes! Ninth Brother has really gone too far this time. Even if he is the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he cannot be so arrogant!"

The Fifth Prince quickly spoke up as well, his face full of anxiety.

The third prince didn't say anything, but his gaze was somewhat complicated, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

“Father, this matter cannot be blamed on Ninth Brother; he was framed by a villain.”

"Although Yang Ling is arrogant and conceited, he would never do such a thing."

"The truth of this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated."

At this moment, the eldest princess Yang Yuting stepped forward and spoke up to defend Yang Ling, while glancing at the empress beside her.

"Yang Ling has really gone too far this time, and must be severely punished!"

Emperor Liang spoke with a sullen face and a cold voice.

"I urge Father to reconsider. Although Yang Ling has a capricious personality, he would never do such a thing."

Yang Yuting said anxiously, continuing to explain for Yang Ling.

"enough!"

Emperor Liang spoke in a deep voice, his tone extremely cold.

Seeing this, Yang Yuting dared not say anything more, but an angry expression appeared on her face.

The empress looked smug, with a hint of a sinister smile in her eyes.

The Fifth Prince was naturally overjoyed to see Yang Ling in such a predicament.

Although the Third Prince did not speak, he looked deep in thought, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

As for the Crown Prince, he looked at Emperor Liang with a smile on his face, as if he was watching a good show.

"First, find out exactly what happened. As the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, if Yang Ling fails to act impartially, I will naturally punish him properly."

Emperor Liang gave the order, glancing at the chief eunuch beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The chief eunuch quickly agreed, then turned and left the study.

The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince looked at Yang Ling with smiles on their faces, while the Empress's face showed an angry expression.

Yang Yuting looked worried, while the Third Prince remained deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

"Let's put this matter aside for now."

Emperor Liang waved his hand and spoke, then got up and walked into the inner room.

All the princes rose to take their leave and prepared to return to their respective palaces to rest.

Only Yang Yuting remained in place, her beautiful eyes fixed on the distant outside.

……

Yang Ling was unaware that she had become a thorn in the side of all the noble sons of the capital.

He was still at home, enjoying his leisure time.

That day, Yang Ling had just finished breakfast and was about to go back to her room when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Yang Ling asked, puzzled. She had never met anyone before, so why would someone come looking for her?

"Me! Your Highness, please open the door!"

A charming female voice came from outside the door, which stunned Yang Ling.

"It's you?"

Yang Ling exclaimed in surprise, and then opened the door.

A pretty girl with fair skin stood prettily in front of the door, a sly expression on her face.

It was Lin Wan'er, the friend Yang Ling had made in the capital.

"What are you here for?"

Yang Ling asked in surprise, not expecting her to come to visit in person.

"Hehe, I came here today to hang out with you!"

Lin Wan'er spoke with a playful smile, as if the two had a very good relationship.

"Forehead……"

Yang Ling felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

Although he and Lin Wan'er knew each other, they rarely kept in touch, let alone played together.

"You came to visit me? You didn't come here just to cause me trouble, did you?"

Yang Ling hesitated and said that he didn't think Lin Wan'er had come to visit him.

After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other at all and had no interaction.

"Hmph, I came to see you out of respect, so if you don't appreciate it, then forget it."

Lin Wan'er pouted and spoke, then turned and left.

"Forehead……"

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Wan'er was up to.

By the time Yang Ling realized what was happening, Lin Wan'er had already walked far away.

Left with no other choice, Yang Ling had to follow.

Lin Wan'er's home was very close to Yang Ling's residence, so they soon arrived on the street.

"Hey, what's that over there? It smells so good!"

Passing by a stall selling lanterns, Lin Wan'er immediately pointed over there and said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling looked up and saw that there were many lanterns of various shapes and sizes displayed on the lantern stall.

Each lantern has a unique design and emits a faint fragrance that refreshes the mind and body.

These lanterns have unique shapes and bright colors, making them quite beautiful.

"Those lanterns are quite pretty, do you like them?"

Yang Ling hesitated for a moment before asking, since the other party had suggested buying lanterns, he was happy to oblige.

"Ok!"

Lin Wan'er nodded gently, a look of joy on her face, and then pulled Yang Ling to the lantern stall.

"Boss, bring out the most beautiful lanterns so we can see them."
