In the cold room, a faint sigh was heard from Jiang Yuxiang.
She raised her eyes, and there was an indescribable strange emotion in them.
“Strange!”
Jiang Yuxiang muttered to herself, somewhat puzzled: "Everyone knows that Lin Hengzhong is devoted to love. As the dignified King Lin, he holds immense power and his status and reputation are known throughout the world. Yet, despite this, he has only had one princess from beginning to end..."
"Sister and Lin Hengzhong were truly in love. Even after Sister passed away for so many years, Lin Hengzhong still loved her and never remarried. There wasn't even a concubine in the Lin Palace..."
"That's why the Lin Palace is now dwindling in numbers. But why is it different when it comes to that brat Jiang Nian?"
Jiang Yuxiang couldn't understand why her sister and Prince Lin were both devoted and devoted to each other.
But why is it that when it comes to Lin Jiangnian, this kid has become a playboy?
Is there some genetic deviation?
He'd only been in the capital for a short time, but he'd already been involved in ambiguous relationships with Miss Zhao and the eldest princess. Even Zhiyuan, who had been with Jiang Yuxiang for years, couldn't escape his clutches. Oh, and there was also that Saintess of the Celestial God Cult...
Even his personal maid Xiao Zhu was not spared...
When Jiang Yuxiang thought of this, she was very convinced.
This brat has no other skills except to target pretty girls!
The women she just thought of were, without exception, the most stunning beauties in the world.
Really good vision!
But this brat...
He really doesn't know his place!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang's face flickered with worry. It was fine with everyone else, but Miss Zhao's identity was too special after all. If this brat really provoked her, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
Given this brat's personality, it's probably possible... After all, this brat even dared to...
At that moment, Jiang Yuxiang seemed to recall the two things that happened some time ago. Her originally fair face immediately flushed.
His face was a little hot and his expression was quite unnatural.
There was a hint of shame and anger in her eyes, and she spoke with a hum.
"This brat..."
"You need to be punished!"
He muttered viciously to himself, but soon after, Jiang Yuxiang's eyes gradually became dazed again.
She looked up at the door, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.
The cold room was quite lonely.
…
The other side.
After leaving his aunt's place, Lin Jiangnian returned to the courtyard where he lived.
The courtyard was deserted. There was a light on under the eaves and corridor not far away. Xiaozhu was sitting on the doorstep, bored, with his little face propped up and in a daze.
"Your Highness?!"
Hearing footsteps, Xiao Zhu looked up, and a smile appeared on her still slightly childish and cute face. Her big round eyes were full of energy. She stood up excitedly and ran to Lin Jiangnian: "Your Highness, you are back?!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded, hugged the little maid into his arms, and gently stroked her little head: "Why are you sitting at the door? It's so cold, go back to your room!"
"I'm waiting for you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Zhu's face was flushed, her eyes were full of excitement, her head was buried in Lin Jiangnian's arms, greedily breathing in the hot and pleasant scent of her own prince.
Lin Jiangnian bent down, put his hand through Xiaozhu's legs, picked her up, and walked into the room.
"It's cold outside, just wait in the room from now on!"
"oh!"
Xiao Zhu nodded obediently, and the dim light in the room made her face look rosy.
Suddenly blushing and cute!
"By the way, where's the kite?"
Lin Jiangnian remembered something and asked.
"Sister Zhiyuan is in the next room!"
Xiao Zhu opened her mouth, then thought of something, her eyes rolling slightly: "Your Highness, did you go to see the eldest princess today?!"
Xiao Zhu had heard it clearly when he was with Jiang Mu before.
Your Highness had an argument with Young Master Jiang at Nanhu today. Your Highness, are you secretly meeting the eldest princess?
"yes!"
Lin Jiang nodded with a young smile: "What's wrong?"
"You're done!"
Xiao Zhu showed a sympathetic look on her face. She looked up at her own prince's nonchalant expression and said seriously, "Sister Zhiyuan is angry!"
angry?
Lin Jiangnian had anticipated this.
I had originally planned to come back to appease Zhiyuan after fooling Jiang Shaoan, but I didn't expect to be caught by my aunt and only came back now.
"How do you know Zhiyuan is angry?"
"Guess!"
Xiao Zhu said seriously with a stern face, "Your Highness, the eldest princess is your fiancée. Sister Zhiyuan has no right to interfere with your visit to the eldest princess. But... Sister Zhiyuan will definitely be angry!"
Xiaozhu was very confident.
No one knows Sister Kite better than her!
Sister Zhiyuan is very narrow-minded... When Sister Zhiyuan discovered her relationship with His Highness, she looked at her with an extremely unfriendly look, which scared Xiaozhu for a long time.
So, today, when Sister Zhiyuan found out that the prince had secretly met the eldest princess, she must be angry.
So after coming back, Xiao Zhu didn't dare to go to the next courtyard, for fear of being affected by the angry Sister Zhiyuan.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu sighed deeply. She was indeed a poor and helpless little maid.
It's like walking on thin ice!
Listening to Xiao Zhu's serious analysis, Lin Jiang laughed: "How can Zhiyuan be as petty as you think? Xiao Zhu, you are saying bad things about her behind her back. Be careful, I will tell her later."
When Xiao Zhu heard this, her face turned pale with fear, and she quickly covered her mouth: "I, I was talking nonsense, Your Highness, please don't tell Sister Zhiyuan..."
She just said it casually. If Sister Zhiyuan knew that she was saying bad things about her behind her back, she would definitely punish her severely!
“That’s enough!”
Lin Jiangnian stopped trying to scare Xiao Zhu. He patted her head and ordered, "Go get some hot water. I need to take a shower and change clothes!"
"Oh, okay!"
Xiao Zhu quickly and obediently trotted out of the room.
I went to Nanhu today and met Chen Changqing again. After coming back, I was exhausted and felt a little tired.
Xiao Zhu prepared hot water. Lin Jiangnian took a comfortable hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and went to the next courtyard.
Not far away, under the eaves, the doors and windows were closed, and light was shining from the window.
Lin Jiangnian came to the door and knocked.
"Kite?"
After calling out softly, he pushed the door open and walked in.
In the past, every time Lin Jiangnian came to see Zhiyuan, he was never so polite and would just push the door open and go in.
But after the two previous experiences, I pushed the door open and entered the room, happily preparing to find Zhiyuan for some intimacy, but when I touched her...
After discovering that the person was not right, Lin Jiangnian was almost scared to death!
From then on, Lin Jiangnian became particularly polite!
Every time I come over, I knock on the door in advance and say hello, for fear that he will score three goals again... If the first two times can be explained as misunderstandings, then if it happens for the third time, there is really no way to explain it!
After all, the first time was just an accidental hug.
But the second time...
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's heart suddenly moved slightly. A few days had passed, but the familiar full feeling suddenly surged into his heart...
Trembling and slippery!
What a damn good memory!
Lin Jiangnian threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and walked into the room.
In the cold room, Zhiyuan stood quietly at the window sill not far away, looking at the backyard through the window.
The backyard was pitch black, and in the distance, it was pitch dark. A cold wind rushed in along the window sill, ruffling her loose hair and revealing a cool and delicate face.
It is less sharp and cold than before, and has a softer, indescribable softness.
She leaned quietly against the windowsill, wearing a home nightgown. The loose nightgown could not hide the girl's graceful and increasingly mature figure.
It seemed as if she had just taken a bath not long ago. The room was still filled with the unique fragrance of flower petals after a woman's bath, mixed with Zhiyuan's body fragrance, which was extremely intoxicating.
As Lin Jiangnian approached, he could vaguely see a hint of heat on the girl's fair skin. Her skin, which was white with a hint of red, was delicate and smooth, and extremely beautiful.
"It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold!"
Lin Jiangnian walked behind Zhiyuan and gently put a coat on her.
Zhiyuan turned around, looked into his eyes, and said nothing.
Lin Jiangnian closed the window, blocking the cold wind outside and making the room a little warmer.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes, and reached out to embrace the girl, holding her in his arms. He lowered his head slightly and gently sniffed the fragrance of her hair. He put his arms around the girl's slender waist, feeling the touch of her delicate skin through her dress.
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes slightly, her expression seemed a little unnatural, and an indescribable shyness flashed across her eyes.
"nothing!"
The voice was neither cold nor indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.
Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and looked at her cold appearance. He couldn't help but lower his head slightly and kissed her smooth jade-like face.
Caught off guard!
Zhiyuan's face flushed visibly with shame. She struggled unnaturally and turned her head away.
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan's reaction, chuckled, and then lowered his head to whisper in the girl's ear: "Xiaozhu said you are angry?"
Zhiyuan was slightly startled, then seemed to remember something, and fell silent for a moment, not looking at Lin Jiangnian: "Why am I angry?"
"Xiao Zhu said that I secretly went to see the eldest princess today, so you are jealous and angry?"
Lin Jiang spoke with a young smile, paying attention to Zhiyuan's reaction as he spoke.
Hearing this, Zhiyuan fell silent. No emotion could be seen on her cold face.
"so what?"
She spoke.
The tone is neither sad nor happy.
"So, I'm going to explain it to you."
Lin Jiangnian hugged the girl's waist from behind, took her hand, placed her delicate and green hand in his palm, and held it tightly.
He lowered his head and quietly admired the girl's palm and the towering mountains that his eyes passed through.
"The eldest princess's appearance today was a surprise..."
Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice.
The version he explained to Zhiyuan was somewhat different from his aunt's.
Jiang Yuxiang was not aware of Lin Jiangnian's plan against Mi Tiansi, so his explanation to his aunt revolved around Chen Feiyang's death.
But Zhiyuan knew Lin Jiangnian's plan goals best, so there were some small changes in Lin Jiangnian's explanation.
For example, he was indeed going to see Zhao Xi today, and the Princess's appearance was a complete surprise. However, Lin Jiangnian's purpose in meeting Zhao Xi was to establish a deal between the two of them, based on the idea of mutual benefit.
Lin Jiangnian did not hide this.
Zhiyuan didn't say anything, just listened quietly to Lin Jiangnian's explanation.
After all, she is not an ordinary woman. She would not make a fuss when she heard that her man was having a tryst with another woman.
She also believed that Lin Jiangnian would not lie to her. If he said he would not marry the eldest princess, then he would definitely not go back on his word.
but……
After listening to Lin Jiangnian's explanation, Zhiyuan finally looked up and glanced at him.
"Why did she ask you out at Nanhu?"
The kite’s question hits the nail on the head!
Lin Jiangnian broke out in a cold sweat.
Sweating all over!
Indeed, this question is difficult to explain.
Nanhu Lake was a different place after all. A single man and a single woman appearing there seemed somewhat ambiguous.
"Maybe Miss Zhao likes the scenery of Nanhu Lake?"
Lin Jiangnian coughed.
Seeing Zhiyuan's thoughtful expression, Lin Jiangnian immediately changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaozhu said that you are letting those sisters learn martial arts with you?"
"Um."
Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said, "They both have good martial arts roots and are suitable for practicing martial arts."
"good?"
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "How good is it?"
Anyone who can be personally trained and instructed by Zhiyuan must have a very high talent in martial arts!
"There are few in the world today."
Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and gave this evaluation.
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. It was incredible that Zhiyuan gave such an evaluation.
Rare in the world?
"How does it compare to you and me?" Lin Jiangnian asked.
Zhiyuan glanced at him and said softly, "There's no comparison, but..."
After a pause, she continued, "They both have extremely high martial arts talents and excellent comprehension skills. With proper guidance, within two years..."
At this point, Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "It will allow the Linwang Mansion to have two more top masters!"
When he met Zhiyuan's gaze, Lin Jiangnian quickly understood something.
It’s not that there will be two more masters in the Prince Lin’s Mansion, but that there will be two more top masters around Lin Jiangnian.
No wonder Zhiyuan decided to personally guide and train the pair of sisters!
Zhiyuan, are you helping him build up his power?!
Firstly, having a master like Zhiyuan personally coaching and guiding them was undoubtedly the best choice for the sisters. Secondly, the sisters were still young, which was the best age to control brainwashing.
When Zhiyuan teaches the two martial arts, he also instills in them the idea of loyalty to Prince Lin.
In this way, in a few years, Lin Jiangnian will have two more masters as loyal as Lin Qingqing around him.
In fact, these two people's martial arts talents are much higher than Lin Qingqing's!
After realizing this, Lin Jiangnian was deeply moved.
"Thanks a lot!"
Lin Jiangnian looked down at the girl in his arms and held her tightly. Zhiyuan blushed slightly, looking a little shy and unnatural.
She seemed to think of something, her eyes drooped slightly, and she shook her head gently: "I, can't help you at all."
She was nominally Lin Jiangnian's maid, but since arriving in Beijing, she hadn't been able to help Lin Jiangnian with anything. Whether it was killing Chen Feiyang or Zhao Changyuan, she hadn't been able to help at all!
Lin Jiangnian seemed to sense Zhiyuan's emotions. He looked down at her cold face and felt more and more moved.
He hugged the girl tighter in his arms, lowered his head, leaned close to the girl's ear, and spoke softly.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"You're doing me the greatest favor by staying with me!"
"I can't do without you by my side."
“…”
