Xu Jing glanced at Dongyang.
So, like Shuangrui and the others, she had only been summoned to their side after Prince Ling and his entourage went to Qi State.
It made sense. When Prince Ling was in the Western Capital, he was often constrained and those around him had countless conflicting interests. Once he went to his fiefdom and gained full autonomy, his priority was naturally to cultivate a group of his own trusted followers.
Xu Jing asked again, "Since Dongyang cannot speak, how does she communicate with others on a daily basis?"
The Princess Consort Ling replied, "After I brought this child to my side, I arranged for someone to teach her reading and writing. For simple matters, she uses gestures to communicate, and for complex ones, she writes them down.
Dongyang has been at the Prince Mansion for many years now, and although she doesn't speak, most people here can understand her intentions."
