Chapter 428 Insecure Kite

In the bathroom.

The girl's face was cold and expressionless.

"No."

"not yet?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at her. The girl's fair and delicate face was close at hand, with a straight face and a very stubborn look.

"You've almost got the word "angry" written on your face, and you're still saying you're not?"

Lin Jiang young sighed.

"No."

The girl's answer was still very tough.

It's cool, yet inexplicably cute.

"Then why do you look unhappy ever since you saw me?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at the face of the girl in front of him wantonly, and moved slightly closer: "Don't even think about lying, you can't hide it from me?!"

The girl's expression was slightly unnatural, and she wanted to lean back to avoid it. But the whole person was held in Lin Jiangnian's arms, unable to struggle away, and looked straight into Lin Jiangnian's slightly playful and passionate eyes.

She turned away and said coldly: "Let me go."

Instead, Lin Jiangnian hugged her tighter, wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist, and hugged her into his arms.

The two people's bodies were slightly close to each other, feeling the girl's soft and warm body, and the unique scent and fragrance that belonged to Zhiyuan spread... This is what a normal girl should feel!

After spending two days alone with the eldest princess, Lin Jiangnian was so affected by her cold air that he almost forgot what it was like to be a normal woman.

Although the paper kite in front of me has a somewhat cold personality and is not good at words, she is always cold and cold on weekdays. But...her body is warm.

Her feelings are also hot!

…It’s just that it’s usually not obvious!

For example, this time, Zhiyuan was sulking because he had bullied her just that night, and originally planned to ignore him for several days. But when he learned that Lin Jiangnian was going to enter the palace, even though he was still angry, he still took the initiative to come to Lin Jiangnian...

For another example, I learned from Lin Qingqing that when Lin Jiangnian was trapped in the secret room by Chen Zhao, Zhiyuan also raised his sword and killed Chen Zhao without saying a word...

"Don't be angry, okay?"

Young Lin Jiang put his arms around the girl's waist, lowered his head slightly, and whispered softly: "Your Highness apologizes to you... I will definitely not bully you so much next time!"

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, Zhiyuan seemed startled, and then a touch of rosy color appeared on his face.

"you……"

She was about to say something, but she opened her mouth and then stopped. She seemed to have thought of something, but her face remained deserted. But the more stubborn he looks, the bright red on his fair skin cannot be hidden.

The more this happened, the more Lin Jiangnian wanted to 'bully' her.

Especially when we haven’t seen each other for a few days, a little goodbye is better than a wedding. Staring at the girl's pink and tender face, he lowered his head and leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

Zhiyuan, who had a straight face at first, became embarrassed and struggled immediately.

"Let go, let go!"

"You, you...don't you want to take a bath?"

Seeing that she couldn't get away, Zhiyuan stared at him.

"Aren't I waiting for you to rub my back?" Lin Jiang said with a young smile.

"I, I don't want it."

Zhiyuan blushed and refused.

Seeing that Lin Jiangnian seemed to be unwilling to give up, he stared at him with his cold beautiful eyes.

"Relax, let go...or I'll be really angry!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian blinked: "So, you are really not angry?"

"snort."

Zhiyuan seemed to snort slightly and did not answer Lin Jiangnian's question.

Looked away.

The little maid seemed to be a little emotional.

But it was also obvious that he was just a little emotional, not really angry.

"I know you are the best, Zhiyuan, and I will definitely not be angry with your highness!"

After hearing this, Zhiyuan curled her lips, glanced at him expressionlessly, and said angrily: "Go, wash, take your bath!"

Lin Jiangnian pushed further and asked, "Then, rub your back?"

Zhiyuan raised her eyes slightly and stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes: "First, let go of me!"

Lin Jiangnian let go of the girl in his arms. Zhiyuan took a step back, straightened his clothes, and saw Lin Jiangnian with a face full of hope. She remained expressionless, glanced at his clothes, and said lightly: "First wash off the smell on your body!"

"I don't like it."

After saying that, Zhiyuan turned around and left the bathroom without looking back.

Lin Jiangnian was left standing there, the smile on his face gradually solidifying.

smell?

What could he smell like? !

Lin Jiangnian was shocked... After spending two days with the eldest princess, could he have accidentally been contaminated with her scent?

Lin Jiangnian quickly lowered his head and sniffed his clothes, but soon looked suspicious again... No? !

Although he and Li Piaomiao were alone for two days, the relationship between the two was pure and clean...except for the brief contact between their palms when they were breathing for Li Piaomiao, there was no other contact.

In addition, Li Miaomiao and Zhao Xi are different. Zhao Xi's warm fragrance is very strong, and Lin Jiangnian can easily get it when he comes into contact with her. But Li Piaomiao only had a faint fragrance on her body. It smelled slightly fresh and light, and it dissipated quickly.

He didn't have too much in-depth communication with Li Piaomiao, so how could he be tainted with her aura?

Lin Jiangnian sniffed and checked carefully again to make sure that there was no smell left by the eldest princess on his body.

but……

How could Zhiyuan say that she didn't like the smell of him?

Lin Jiangnian was stunned and stood there in a daze. After a while, I gradually realized something.

Zhiyuan, isn't she... looking for enemies in the void?

Lin Jiangnian did not have the scent of the princess, but...

In Zhiyuan's heart, Lin Jiangnian and the princess had been alone for two days! So, even if Lin Jiangnian did not have a scent, in Zhiyuan's eyes...

he still had a scent? !

Combined with Zhiyuan's slightly cold reaction when she saw Li Piaomiao today, and Zhiyuan's mood and interest seemed not very high until just now... Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, Lin Jiangnian was still keenly aware of Zhiyuan's mood, so he was planning to have a good talk with Zhiyuan just now.

I thought Zhiyuan was still angry about forcing her to eat the baby two nights before the birth, but now it seems that this may not be the case?

Zhiyuan did not seem to be angry about the baby, but was angry about... something else?

She was not angry about whether Lin Jiangnian had had any intimate and improper relationship with Li Piaomiao, but...

Lin Jiangnian had been alone with the princess for two days, and she was angry by default?

? !

...

Bath and change clothes!

I took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. Lin Jiangnian, standing in front of the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror and felt refreshed!

A mature and qualified prince should learn to serve himself!

He had already developed the habit on weekdays. Even without the close care of the maids, Lin Jiangnian did not feel uncomfortable.

It must be said that the treatment in the palace is indeed good.

The bathtub is big enough!

Although it is not as good as Miss Zhao's private bathtub, the decoration is not bad at all. There is no problem for seven or eight people to bathe together at the same time.

...It's a pity that Zhiyuan refused!

It's a bit regrettable.

After cleaning up, Lin Jiangnian walked out of the bath room.

Outside the bath room, it was empty.

The maid at the door was driven out by Lin Jiangnian, and now she was waiting anxiously outside the yard.

Lin Jiangnian left the yard and waved his hand to drive away the maids. Not far away, Lin Qingqing was standing there.

Lin Jiangnian waved at her, and Lin Qingqing stepped forward quickly, with a bit of anxiety on her face, and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid we are under house arrest!"

"Huh?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes: "House arrest?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Qingqing spoke in a deep voice.

After rescuing His Highness from the secret room, he met the guards of the imperial guards around the prince. These guards temporarily arranged Lin Jiangnian in this palace.

The palace was luxurious, and the hospitality to Lin Jiangnian was also of the highest standard. The servants and maids in the mansion were all respectful and did not neglect him at all.

However, not long ago, when Lin Qingqing wanted to leave the palace to find out the situation outside, she was stopped by the guards of the imperial guards at the door.

Not only that, Lin Qingqing also found that the figures of the imperial guards were arranged everywhere around the palace. When asked, they said that there was unrest in the palace and the situation was urgent. They were worried about the safety of His Highness, the Prince of Lin, and sent them to protect inside and outside the palace.

But in fact... this is a disguised house arrest!

Realizing this, Lin Qingqing hurried over to report to Lin Jiangnian.

"His Royal Highness has placed us under house arrest here. I am worried that this will be detrimental to His Royal Highness!"

Lin Qingqing was worried.

Her worries were not without reason.

The Lin Palace had a grudge with the court, and the situation in the palace became tense after hearing the news of Emperor Ning's death.

Everyone with a discerning eye knew that the prince had always advocated the reduction of the feudal system. Now that His Royal Highness was trapped in the palace, if the prince took this opportunity to make trouble for his own prince, it would be a big deal...

However, Lin Jiangnian did not take it to heart.

"Don't worry too much."

His Royal Highness is very busy now. After Emperor Ning's death, he will be very busy and will not have time to take care of Lin Jiangnian.

At the moment, stabilizing the court's political power is the most important thing.

As for being placed under house arrest here...Lin Jiangnian was not surprised.

Guessed it!

Emperor Ning has passed away!

Lin Jiangnian was one of the insiders. Such important news had not yet been announced to the world, so the prince would naturally not let Lin Jiangnian leave.

Lin Jiangnian would definitely do the same.

He guessed that after Li Piaomiao went out, he would definitely tell the prince what happened in the secret room.

The news of Emperor Ning's death would not be announced to the world immediately. He would most likely block the news temporarily, summon the trusted ministers in the court, and wait until the countermeasures were discussed and everything was ready before announcing the news of His Majesty's death!

In this way, it would be most beneficial to him!

It would also be the most stable for the court!

...

The development of the matter was not beyond Lin Jiangnian's expectations.

Li Ci Ning did not spread the news of the emperor's death. Not only that, he also specially ordered people to seal the passage of the secret room and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching.

At the same time, he secretly summoned several trusted ministers in the court into the palace to discuss something.

The entire palace was filled with a gloomy atmosphere of impending storm.

But at the same time, what happened on this day could not be hidden from the outside world... The news that Chen Zhao intended to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a hot topic!

It could not be concealed at all!

When the news spread, it caused a huge uproar!

Chen Zhao, actually assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? !

When the news reached the capital, countless people were indignant and extremely angry.

In the eyes of the people, Chen Zhao has always been a negative image who caused chaos in the court, slaughtered loyal people, and committed many evil deeds.

Now this old eunuch who has committed many evil deeds dared to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? !

What does this mean?

This old eunuch rebelled!

He was so powerful that he dared to kill the crown prince? !

In this country of Daning Dynasty, is there any royal law?

Are there any brave loyal ministers left? !

The people were excited, but many officials and aristocratic families in the court found another meaning in Zhongpin!

The emperor was behind Chen Zhao. So, could Chen Zhao's assassination of His Royal Highness be the emperor's instruction?

What is the hidden secret behind this?

Why has the emperor, who has been in seclusion for more than half a year, still not show up?

Will...

Just as speculation was abuzz in the capital, another piece of news came out from the palace... Chen Zhao, the rebel eunuch who assassinated His Royal Highness, had been killed on the spot by the imperial guards!

Soon, Chen Zhao's body was hung outside the city gate, and was spurned and insulted by the people.

For a time, the people who heard the news were very happy and clapped their hands and praised him!

As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince was so wise and powerful that he not only escaped Chen Yungou's assassination, but also finally brought the great eunuch who had brought harm to the court to justice!

Do justice for heaven and eliminate harm for the people!

Well done!

For a time, the people in the capital were all excited and joyful, and their crowds and admiration for His Highness the Crown Prince reached their peak.

At the same time, they also hated Chen Yungu so much that countless people gathered outside the city gate and lined up to spit on Chen Yungu's body!

Ha, spat!

…

The people were filled with indignation, officials from various aristocratic families speculated a lot, and the atmosphere in the palace was tense.

Lin Jiangnian lived in the palace leisurely!

Now that it's here, let's make peace with it!

Although the prince seemed to have Lin Jiangnian under house arrest, his treatment of him was not bad at all.

Delicious meals were delivered on time every day, and various gadgets and entertainment programs to relieve fatigue and pass the time were prepared for Lin Jiangnian's entertainment. At the same time, many beautiful and different little palace maids were arranged for Lin Jiangnian to play with...

Not to mention, the treatment is very good!

It’s simply a gentle place!

If it had been anyone else, they might have fallen into it and been reluctant to leave!

But as a gentleman, Lin Jiangnian still refused the prince's beautiful temptation with righteous words!

He doesn't like this for the time being.

Of course, the main reason is that I don’t dare to do well.

…

"Zhiyuan, His Highness assures you that the relationship between me and the eldest princess is pure and innocent, and there is absolutely no shady relationship with her!"

Outside the eaves, in the courtyard.

The weather is nice today.

The warm sun shines in the courtyard, the scenery in the courtyard is peaceful, and everything is revived.

Zhiyuan, who was wearing a light blue Yunluo dress, sat quietly in the pavilion in the courtyard, with a somewhat indifferent expression on her cold and delicate silhouette.

Beside her, Lin Jiangnian was seriously explaining his innocent relationship with the eldest princess!

Guessing that Zhiyuan might be angry because of this incident, Lin Jiangnian had to prove his innocence.

However, Zhiyuan's expression was neither cold nor indifferent, and she glanced at him quietly: "Why are you explaining this to me?"

"Aren't you afraid of misunderstanding?"

"I won't get it wrong."

"No, you must have misunderstood!"

"I didn't misunderstand!"

Zhiyuan glanced at him and said calmly: "She is your fiancée, what else can I misunderstand?"

"..."

"I told you, she's not!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed. There was no misunderstanding in what he said, but there was a hint of resentment in his words.

I'm afraid the fiancée thing is going to be hard to get past.

"This time, she really isn't!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said: "This marriage contract was made by the emperor, but now that the emperor has passed away, naturally there will be no more marriages!"

"I might have been worried about resisting the decree before, but this time..."

Lin Jiangnian was already 90% sure. The only 10% uncertainty was the 'edict' in the hands of the eldest princess!

As long as the edict is not released, the marriage contract between him and Li Miaomiao will almost exist in name only.

After hearing this, Zhiyuan just nodded lightly and didn't say much.

No comments were made.

"Also, in the secret room before, she and I were innocent..."

Recalling his previous guess as to why Zhiyuan might be angry, Lin Jiangnian continued to explain.

But this time, Zhiyuan interrupted him softly: "I know."

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled and looked at her: "You know?"

"Um."

Zhiyuan nodded.

Lin Jiangnian was a little unsure and asked tentatively, "What do you know?"

"You and her are very innocent. You didn't do anything."

Zhiyuan spoke.

When Lin Jiangnian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Zhiyuan, you really understand me! She and I are indeed innocent, nothing happened!"

He finally let go of the worries in his heart and came closer to Zhiyuan. He seemed to have thought of something and hesitated slightly: "Zhiyuan, why do you suddenly believe me?"

Zhiyuan turned to look at him, her cold eyes were very calm, and she said calmly: "You can't beat her!"

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

Zhiyuan looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly and continued to speak softly: "She doesn't like you either."

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

The smile gradually disappeared from his face.

Although Zhiyuan believed her, Lin Jiangnian was very happy. But when you hear this, why does it sound so unpleasant?

I feel like it’s better not to say anything…

"You look down on your Highness so much, don't you?"

Lin Jiangnian deliberately put on a cold face: "How do you know she doesn't like me?"

Zhiyuan's eyes were clear and indifferent, and she spoke softly: "Because, she doesn't look down on anyone!"

"..."

Reasonable!

After contacting the eldest princess, Lin Jiangnian could feel the innate arrogance in her body.

Not pretending on purpose, but really...arrogant!

In the eyes of outsiders, that kind of extremely confident and conceited arrogance may be just the most ordinary thing in her eyes.

After all, Li Piaomiao's own identity and strength are worthy of this innate arrogance!

"Now that you know..."

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the girl in front of him: "You know that she and I are innocent, why are you still angry?"

"I'm not angry."

Zhiyuan calmly repeated it again, looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, and said softly: "I just..."

"It's a little uncomfortable."

Very calm and clear eyes, extremely candid.

She did feel a little uncomfortable.

When he saw Lin Jiangnian and the eldest princess appearing in the secret room at the same time, although they had expected it, they were also prepared.

But when she saw it... she still had some waves in her heart.

It’s hard to describe this feeling!

Maybe it’s just uncomfortable?

It looked a little dazzling, but at the same time, there was also a trace of inexplicable emotion.

It seems to be constantly reminding her...

The eldest princess is his fiancée in name only.

Although Lin Jiangnian had promised her many times that he would never marry the eldest princess. Zhiyuan has always believed that Lin Jiangnian would not lie.

But, that trace of emotion is still lingering.

Not dispersed!

True to her word, she was not angry.

She had no reason to be angry, and she didn't bother to be angry.

However, this does not affect her having a little... little emotion.

Um.

Just one drop!

…

Lin Jiangnian was startled for a moment, staring at the girl's delicate, quiet face, which showed a hint of the tranquility of the years.

Listening to the girl's understatement, yet very candid words.

For a moment, I felt a little dazed.

At the same time, a trace of indescribable... guilt arose in my heart.

He deserves to die!

"My bad!"

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head, hugged the girl next to him, and apologized softly: "I should take care of your emotions..."

Zhiyuan's behavior had always been extremely calm, so Lin Jiangnian often ignored her emotions.

Lin Jiangnian overlooked one thing... Zhiyuan lost her parents when she was a child. She grew up in the Jiang family. Although she had the protection of her aunt, her aunt, who was only a few years older than her, could not make up for some of the things she lacked in childhood.

The feeling of being "under someone else's roof" has made her very independent, calm, and good at disguising herself since she was a child.

Zhiyuan, who has always been indifferent to others, rarely expresses his emotions. Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered...she was actually a very insecure girl!

She is completely different from Li Piaomiao!

She will have emotions and normal joys and sorrows. Occasionally, he would show vulnerability in front of Lin Jiangnian that he would not show normally.

And... little emotions!

Lin Jiangnian, who realized this, felt even more guilty.

In his eyes, the relationship between him and the eldest princess was indeed innocent. But for Zhiyuan, who lacks a sense of security, it is a completely different feeling.

After all, the eldest princess is Lin Jiangnian’s fiancée in name! She is the future Crown Princess with a noble status and a legitimate name!

And what about the paper kite?

Compared with the eldest princess, she seems to be incomparable in every aspect!

Regardless of identity, status, appearance, or even martial arts strength...it seems that there is nothing that can surpass the eldest princess!

Her only identity that can be mentioned in Prince Lin's Mansion may be that she is just a maid next to Lin Jiangnian...

In this case, how could Zhiyuan not be worried?

How could it really not be taken seriously? !

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian felt more guilty. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly and realized - it's time to quickly give Zhiyuan a legitimate identity!

Although in the eyes of those close to her, Zhiyuan is already the future Crown Princess. In the eyes of the sisters Xiaozhu and Fengling Jasmine, this has long been the case.

But after all, the identification of documents is still missing.

It's time for him to quickly give a status to the girl beside him who has been with him for the longest time and helped him the most!

Being held in Lin Jiangnian's arms, Zhiyuan did not struggle and allowed him to hold her tightly. The delicate chin gently touched Lin Jiangnian's shoulder, as if he could smell the familiar scent coming from Lin Jiangnian's body as he got closer.

It was already very familiar to her and she didn't resist at all.

Zhiyuan's expression remained calm, her cold beautiful eyes seemed to blink, and she said softly: "I'm fine."

As he spoke, he paused, shook his head slightly, and seemed to explain: "I just feel a little uncomfortable... I'll be fine in a few days!"

She is a very rational person and will not have any violent emotional reactions due to this. She won't make a fuss, and even...she doesn't react at all.

This lost emotion will slowly be digested after a period of time.

No grudges will be left!

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth. Zhiyuan was so sensible and obedient that the words he wanted to comfort him came to his lips, but he couldn't say a word.

It seems like everything is superfluous.

In the end, Lin Jiangnian hugged the insecure girl tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to tell her all his love.

After a while, Lin Jiangnian stroked her silky hair, smelled the girl's unique scent in her hair, and said softly: "After I see the prince in a few days, I plan to have a good talk with him. Let’s talk. Let him issue an edict to dissolve the engagement between me and her.”

Lin Jiangnian made up his mind.

This marriage must be called off!

Although in his heart, the marriage contract existed in name only. But for the sake of the paper kite, this ceremony must be completed!

Zhiyuan still snuggled lightly into Lin Jiangnian's arms, letting him hold her in his arms, looking slightly well-behaved.

She said nothing and made no response.

"Di Ning passed away, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the situation in the capital was turbulent. Our purpose of coming to the capital this time has almost been achieved, and it's time to go back!"

"After leaving the palace this time, it's almost time to pack your things and return to Linjiang City!"

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and looked at the girl's delicate side face, which was covered by a wisp of black hair, and there seemed to be some strange brilliance in her bright eyes.

"The things His Highness promised you last time will never change..."

"When we return to Linjiang City this time, we will get married."

Lin Jiangnian's tone was very soft, but he made his promise very solemnly.

At the same time, I was already thinking in my mind that it was not too late to make preparations as soon as possible.

When he turned back, he sent people to hurry up and pass the news back to Linjiang City, telling Lin Hengzhong to let Prince Lin's Mansion prepare early.

When he and Zhi Yuan return to Linzhou, they will directly go to the church to get married... and can't delay it any longer!

But Zhiyuan seemed stunned when she heard Lin Jiangnian's promise again. Then, Wei Wei struggled to get up from Lin Jiangnian's arms.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes, and soon he noticed a flash of... uneasiness in Zhiyuan's cold eyes.

He seemed to be thinking of something: "What? Don't believe me? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian asked with concern.

Zhiyuan remained silent, raised her eyes to glance at Lin Jiangnian, and then lowered her eyes again.

After a while, he seemed a little uneasy and hesitated to speak.

"My lord, I'm afraid he won't agree..."

Listening to Zhiyuan's uneasy tone, Lin Jiangnian smiled dumbly.

Unexpectedly, Zhiyuan, who is usually calm, would suddenly become worried one day.

"No need to worry about that."

Lin Jiangnian hugged her into his arms again, lowered his head and pecked her cold thin lips. Soon, a watery sheen appeared on the girl's originally light red lips.

Caught off guard by a 'sneak attack', Zhiyuan pursed her lips subconsciously, raised her eyes, and a hint of shyness flashed across her face.

"My father will definitely not object!"

Lin Jiangnian knew what Zhiyuan was worried about.

Her identity!

As a maid in Prince Lin's Mansion in the past, Zhiyuan knew very well how important identity was in a place like Prince Lin's Mansion. Although Zhiyuan was considered a member of a famous family in the past, it has long since declined. How could the majestic King Lin let his son marry a maid in his palace?

A perfect match!

Extremely important!

"It's not like you don't understand my father. He's not a pedantic person."

Lin Jiangnian recalled the short time he spent with Lin Hengzhong. In his impression, Lin Hengzhong was an extremely calm person. But at the same time, it is not some stubborn old antique.

More importantly, Zhiyuan is not an outsider. To a certain extent, she is the child bride taken in by the former Princess Lin.

In a sense, her identity came earlier than that of the eldest princess, and she must be justified!

"Besides, even if my father doesn't agree, he can't stop it."

Lin Jiangyoun smiled and comforted the girl in his arms: "If it doesn't work out, I will take you away from home, and we will elope!"

"Elope, elope?"

Zhiyuan's eyes were startled, as if hearing this word for the first time.

Somewhat strange.

"Yes, it's an elopement!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded and said: "Let's leave Prince Lin's Mansion and travel around the world... With your martial arts and my intelligence, how can we, two swords combined, be invincible in the world and become the couple of gods that everyone envies?"

"..."

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's enthusiastic description, Zhiyuan's cold eyes flashed.

No words were spoken.

"how?"

Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "You can't escape the prince's eye."

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

"You're really not cute at all!"

Lin Jiangnian reached out and pinched her cheek, and sighed: "Can't you just enjoy it for a while? Why be so realistic!"

Wandering around the world, becoming the couple of gods and so on, this wish will definitely not be realized. As the eldest son of Prince Lin, it is impossible for him to abandon his mission and responsibilities, but this does not affect Lin Jiangnian's fantasy!

Zhiyuan touched the cheek pinched by Lin Jiangnian, pursed her lips, and looked at him with clear eyes: "I'm not cute to begin with."

Such a serious statement actually made Lin Jiangnian laugh a little.

"Don't mention it, you look a little cute like this!"

Lin Jiangnian said, and came closer: "Come, let His Highness kiss the lovely paper kite?!"

"No, don't..."

Zhiyuan lowered her head and avoided in shame.

Lin Jiangnian held the girl's waist with one hand, held the girl's face with the other hand, and kissed her tender and fair face several times.

It tastes great!

Smooth and tender, like jelly.

Very flexible.

Then, with Zhiyuan's increasingly embarrassed struggle, he pulled and pulled.

Finally, he got what he wanted and kissed the girl's glossy, delicate red lips.

Softer!

More Q bombs!

…

"Your Highness..."

Not far away, outside the courtyard, Lin Qingqing stepped into the courtyard.

Just as she was about to speak, her eyes fell on the pavilion in the courtyard not far away. The sound that had just uttered half a word was cut off again.

Lin Qingqing was stunned and looked at the pavilion in front of her in shock...

This scene was beyond her expectations!

It also shocked her!

Your Highness, in broad daylight, was actually with Sister Zhiyuan...

Sister Zhiyuan, actually allowed to cooperate with Your Highness's nonsense?

This, has become so big? !

Don't you avoid people?

Don't take her seriously, put her in your eyes?

Lin Qingqing was silent, and soon, as an excellent subordinate, Lin Qingqing took back the foot that had just stepped into the courtyard.

Turning around, disappearing silently.

An excellent and qualified subordinate should disappear quietly at this time.

...

Outside the courtyard.

Lin Qingqing looked at the woman in gorgeous palace dress standing in front of her, and shook her head expressionlessly: "My prince is busy and can't see anyone for the time being!"

"Busy?"

The beautiful woman in palace dress blinked, a little confused.

What else can the prince be busy with at this time?

"Then, how long will your prince be busy? When will he be free?"

Lin Qingqing estimated it based on past experience, thought about it, and said: "It should start from one hour?"

"I don't know the details!"

Jinxiu: "?"

Why does this sound a little strange?

However, Jinxiu didn't think much about it. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was still early, so she chuckled and said: "Then I'll wait for your prince!"

Lin Qingqing nodded expressionlessly, looking at the gorgeous woman in palace dress in front of her without leaving a trace.

She has seen it many times!

This girl seems to be someone close to the eldest princess, and she often came to the palace to look for the prince before.

However, according to Lin Qingqing's experience, the maid in front of her seems to have a special relationship with her own prince?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's eyes gradually became a little strange.

His Highness is still in the yard with Sister Zhiyuan... what!

Now, there is another woman who has a close relationship with His Highness... His Highness is really busy!

... I don't know if His Highness can handle it!

...

Jinxiu came with a mission today.

When they learned that the princess and Prince Lin were trapped in the secret room, Jinxiu and An Ning, who were still in the princess's mansion, immediately rushed into the palace anxiously. However, they couldn't help much, so they stayed in the harem to comfort the queen and wait for news.

When the queen learned that Piaomiao was trapped in the secret room, her face changed immediately and she almost fell ill.

The successive blows made the queen, who was originally dignified and elegant, and still had charm, seem to have aged many years overnight.

The Queen Mother was relieved only after Li Piaomiao came out of the secret room safely. She had almost experienced the pain of losing her son, and she could not bear the grief of losing her daughter.

Fortunately, Piaomiao came back safely!

The Queen Mother was relieved, and Jinxiu, who had been with the Queen Mother, was relieved. Then she heard that the eldest princess was trapped in the secret room with the Prince of Lin. After coming out of the secret room, she learned that the Prince was temporarily placed in the palace.

So, Jinxiu came to the door!

As a result, she learned that the Prince of Lin was temporarily busy and inconvenient to see people?

Being nominally under house arrest in the palace, shouldn’t the Prince be very idle?

What can he be busy with?

Still busy for another hour?

Especially the subordinates beside the Prince of Lin said something very strange, and the look in their eyes when they looked at her was... not quite right!

Jinxiu keenly noticed that when Lin Qingqing looked at her, there was an indescribable... strangeness!

This made Jinxiu somewhat unnatural. Just as she was thinking about whether she should say something, footsteps suddenly came from the front.

"Qingqing?"

Hearing this voice, Lin Qingqing turned back subconsciously and saw Lin Jiangnian appear behind her at some point.

She was stunned!

It's only been... a few minutes?

His Highness is done?

So soon?

...

Lin Jiangnian naturally noticed Lin Qingqing's strange and curious look and stared at her expressionlessly.

Lin Qingqing quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head.

... Got it!

She must have ruined His Highness's good thing!

The fact was indeed similar to what she guessed.

Lin Qingqing's appearance instantly disturbed the two people who had just kissed in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Even if she was very careful, how could Zhiyuan not notice it with her keenness? Kissing in public, and being discovered by acquaintances, how could Zhiyuan, who was already thin-skinned, bear it?

In shame and anger, Zhiyuan immediately struggled to break free and fled!

Lin Jiangnian was left standing there with a grim look on his face!

His good fortune was ruined!

He had to turn off the lights even when doing things on weekdays. The thin-skinned Zhiyuan couldn't accept such stimulating frankness. Last time, he was even tricked by Lin Jiangnian to turn off the lights...

It was not easy to get the emotions right this time. He succeeded in being intimate with Zhiyuan in public and made her try to take a step...

In the end, Lin Qingqing ruined his good fortune!

After this shock, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity next time!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian was furious and planned to come out to settle accounts with Lin Qingqing. As soon as he walked out, he saw Jinxiu who appeared in his sight at some point.

"Miss Jinxiu?"

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Lin Jiangnian appear, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she blinked, and then became curious: "Aren't you busy?"

"You finished so quickly?"

Didn't you say it would take an hour?

It's only been a few minutes?

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian turned his head expressionlessly.

Lin Qingqing lowered her head with a guilty conscience...

"You go down first."

"Yes."

Lin Qingqing ran away quickly.

"I'm done!"

Lin Jiangnian turned his head: "Miss Jinxiu, what's the matter with you?"

"Your Highness said so!"

Jinxiu blinked again, her bright eyes sparkling, "Can't I come to see Your Highness if I have nothing to do?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and looked at Jinxiu up and down: "So, Miss Jinxiu is here to talk about love with this prince?"

As if she noticed Lin Jiangnian's slightly malicious gaze, Jinxiu subconsciously took a step back, and said calmly: "Of course not."

"Then Miss Jinxiu came here today..."

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were still looking at her playfully.

As if she couldn't bear Lin Jiangnian's burning gaze, Jinxiu stopped playing with fire and quickly explained her purpose.

"The Queen said she wanted to see you."

"The Queen?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What does the queen want to see me for?"

"I don't know."

Jinxiu shook her head and said pitifully: "I just came to inform you."

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful, then raised his eyebrows: "This prince is now under house arrest here, I'm afraid I can't see the queen?"

"It doesn't matter, the queen has already greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Jinxiu smiled: "The queen is also here, not far away."

"Is that so..."

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful, nodded: "Okay, then lead the way!"

"Your Highness, please."

Jinxiu made an invitation gesture, then led Lin Jiangnian out of the palace and walked to the side.

While thinking about the purpose of the queen looking for him, Lin Jiangnian looked at Jinxiu, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace skirt, thoughtfully.

"When did Miss Jinxiu enter the palace?"

"Just two days ago."

Jinxiu answered: "After your highness and my princess were trapped in the secret room, I received the news and entered the palace..."

As she said, Jinxiu's eyes sparkled, as if she was very interested in this matter.

A single man and a single woman, alone together... and it's the Crown Prince and his own princess, this is simply...

Big gossip!

But before Jinxiu could speak, Lin Jiangnian suddenly mentioned: "Where's An Ning?"

"Did she enter the palace with you?"

As soon as these words came out, Jinxiu's steps suddenly stopped.

Alarm bells rang in her heart instantly!
