There is indeed some bragging in saying that you look down on others!
No matter what, the eldest princess is indeed very beautiful, with no flaws in her looks, and she is very pleasing to the eye as a vase.
Her icy, frost-like, and indifferent temperament that keeps people at a distance is enough to scare away any villain.
Put it at home to ward off evil spirits!
It can be said to serve multiple purposes at one stroke!
But that’s all.
Apart from these advantages, the rest of this eldest princess is almost entirely filled with shortcomings.
Lin Jiangnian naturally wanted to stay away from him.
The fiancée he had chosen in his heart had always been Zhiyuan. Lin Jiangnian had not lied about this, and he had never changed his mind.
Of course, then again.
The laws of the Daning Dynasty didn't seem to stipulate that a man could only have one fiancée... right?
…
Zhiyuan naturally had no idea of Lin Jiangnian's idea of "taking advantage of the loophole". Lin Jiangnian held her in his arms and kissed her in an almost barbaric and domineering manner. A blush appeared on her fair face, and she glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
"You really despise her?"
"I despise it."
Lin Jiangnian spoke without thinking, looking down at the fair and rosy skin of the girl in his arms. There was an indescribable strange beauty in her, and he couldn't help but lower his head and move closer.
Zhiyuan's eyes were in panic, and he subconsciously turned his head to avoid it.
"Don't mess around."
She warned softly.
Lin Jiangnian chuckled, leaned close to the girl's ear, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and whispered softly beside her crystal clear earlobe: "Why? Are you worried that I will really marry her?"
"Jealous?!"
A warm breath lingered in her ears, and the girl's delicate body tensed up and her face became even redder.
"Don't...itch..."
Zhiyuan turned her head away, blushing. Seeing Lin Jiangnian's relentless attitude, she reached out and pinched him in embarrassment.
"Hiss, so hard?!"
Lin Jiangnian took a breath of cold air.
“Serves you right!”
Zhiyuan said angrily.
She didn't use much strength at all. This guy has thick skin and tough muscles, so how could he feel such exaggerated pain?
Just pretending!
"You don't even feel sorry for your own prince, do you?"
Lin Jiangnian pretended to be angry.
Zhiyuan rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Seeing that Zhiyuan was not cooperating, Lin Jiangnian did not feel embarrassed and hugged the girl again. His hands passed through the girl's slender waist and fell on her flat belly in front of him.
Gently stroking through the thin and smooth clothes.
"We don't know what the situation is in the palace right now, but it's definitely beneficial to us."
Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice and got down to business: "As for how the emperor is doing now, we'll know when we give him a try."
At this point, Lin Jiangnian chuckled again and looked down at Zhiyuan: "Do you think she will refuse? Or will she think of another way?"
Zhiyuan's body was still a little tense, but seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't make any other moves, she felt relieved and let him hold her. After lowering her eyes and thinking for a moment, she said softly, "She can't refuse."
Zhiyuan's voice was very soft: "This time you are following the prince's order to come to the capital to marry her. According to custom, the sons of vassal princes must make a pilgrimage to the capital. Your request is reasonable and she has no reason to refuse. Besides..."
Having said that, Zhiyuan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "If she really refuses, then my guess will be confirmed..."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid something has gone wrong!"
Lin Jiangnian listened, chuckled and nodded: "That's right."
The imperial edict issued from the palace was ultimately intended to appease the people. But for all parties involved, it wasn't convincing enough!
Why is the emperor taking so long to come out?
Was that imperial edict actually passed down by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
And is the real Majesty... still alive?
Still a mystery!
"It depends on how she responds to me in two days."
Lin Jiangnian was looking forward to the eldest princess's reaction and whether he could meet the legendary emperor.
It’s really exciting!
Lin Jiangnian sighed in his heart, lowered his head, and saw the girl in his arms motionless, with her eyes lowered, thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Jiang asked in a young voice.
Zhiyuan shook his head slightly.
Lin Jiangnian thought of something and chuckled, "It's been a few months since we arrived in the capital. After a while, we should go back to Linzhou, right?"
When Zhiyuan heard Lin Jiangnian mention returning to Linzhou, he was slightly stunned.
I just suddenly remembered that it has been a few months since I came to Beijing. Time flies so fast!
Before I knew it, I had spent the New Year in Beijing!
"After meeting the Emperor this time and settling the engagement with the Princess, we'll have accomplished more than half of our purpose in coming to the capital..."
Although there were many twists and turns during this period, the matter was finally resolved perfectly.
As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian looked at her again and chuckled, "Do you remember what I promised you last time?"
Zhiyuan raised her eyes slightly and looked sideways into Shanglin Jiangnian's eyes.
Seeing Lin Jiangnian looking at her with a smile, Zhiyuan seemed to realize something and avoided his sight in panic.
No sound.
"You're not talking, are you? Are you ignoring your Highness now?!"
Seeing that Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Lin Jiangnian said with a stern face: "You are really brave now?"
"Come, let me touch you, have you really become fatter..."
As he spoke, his hand, which was originally on the girl's flat belly, began to move restlessly upwards.
soon……
"It seems like I really got fatter...hiss!"
Before Lin Jiangnian could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.
He lowered his eyes and saw that Zhiyuan's pretty face had turned red at some point, and she was staring at him shyly.
"You, let go!"
The voice was full of embarrassment.
"Hiss... the back of my hand hurts, let go first..."
“…”
"If you don't let go, then I won't let go either..."
“…”
"If you don't let go...I'll keep touching you?!"
“…”
Under Lin Jiangnian's shameless threat, Zhiyuan was finally no match for him and let go in panic.
But it was obvious that Lin Jiangnian was cheating at this time!
As soon as the kite was released, the unrestrained hands immediately took advantage of the situation like a fish into the sea or a bird into the sky, and skillfully advanced further.
"You, you're cheating!"
Zhiyuan's pretty face flushed red, her whole body was tense, she felt shy and anxious.
"Where did I cheat?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said defensively, "I just asked you to let go first, but I didn't say I would let go?"
"you……"
Zhiyuan was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Lin Jiangnian, who had already mastered the weaknesses of the kite, did not wait for the kite to resist. He used his hands like a dragon to quickly attack the kite's weaknesses and conquered the city with lightning speed.
Soon she was breathing rapidly and was defeated!
Lin Jiangnian took advantage of the situation and bent down to kiss the girl's cherry red lips.
Double-headed offensive!
The movements are light and gentle.
Zhiyuan instinctively resisted out of shyness at first, but soon, under Lin Jiangnian's guidance, she gradually gave up resistance...
The night is as dark as ink!
The sound of cold wind rustling through the branches came from outside the window. Lin Jiangnian bent down, stretched his hand through the girl's legs, and gently picked up the girl in his arms.
"It's getting late, we should go to bed early!"
Lin Jiangnian's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of seriousness, as if he was about to do something very serious.
The girl in his arms almost curled up into a ball, her head buried in Lin Jiangnian's broad and warm chest. Occasionally, he could catch a glimpse of the redness beneath her hair.
The delicate body in his arms struggled, a symbolic resistance, but not intensely, rather like a gesture of wanting to resist but also wanting to welcome.
Lin Jiangnian held the girl in his arms, skillfully walked through the screen, came to the bed, and gently placed the kite on the bed.
"lamp……"
The girl shyly hid in the quilt, her voice very soft and trembling slightly.
Seems extremely nervous and shy!
For her, who is thin-skinned, even though this is not her first experience, she still feels a little shy and dares not face it!
Hard to accept!
Lin Jiangnian naturally understood Zhiyuan's thoughts and waved his hand gently.
A strong wind blew past, blowing out the candles in the room!
In an instant, the room was plunged into darkness.
Lin Jiangnian took off his clothes skillfully, jumped onto the bed impatiently and got into the quilt with ease.
"ah!"
From under the quilt, a panicked sound could be heard from Zhiyuan.
"You, why aren't you wearing..."
"Who gets dressed when they're sleeping?"
Lin Jiangnian was confident and justified.
"You, you are shameless..."
The kite's voice was blushing and panicked.
"Is this shameless? Wait until His Highness teaches you what is even more shameless!"
"You... um... don't..."
In the dim room, there was a tug and pull under the covers.
Occasionally, the sound of the girl struggling in shame and anger could be heard.
"Little Kite, be good..."
Lin Jiang's young and soft voice came, very light and gentle, as if he was comforting a child.
"Your Highness will give you a treasure to eat!"
“…”
Night falls.
At the same time, in Jiang Mansion, in the next courtyard.
His Highness's room.
There was no light on, and the room was completely dark, pitch black. Behind the screen, on the bed, there seemed to be... a figure lying.
Xiao Zhu washed herself early today and made herself clean, then changed into a thin, light gauze dress that reached her chest.
This dress is different from the ordinary chest-length skirt. It is thinner, shorter, and... more revealing!
This is a special style of clothing that was specially customized according to His Highness's request. It can only be worn under special circumstances and in special scenes.
For example, tonight!
After washing herself and changing into a skirt, Xiaozhu quietly came to His Highness's room, lay down on His Highness's bed early, and got into the quilt, fulfilling her duties as His Highness's personal maid... warming His Highness's bed!
This was a special instruction from His Highness this morning, and Xiao Zhu kept it in mind... She is a very responsible and obedient little maid.
Dedicated and dedicated to warming the bed for His Highness!
Of course, warming the bed was only her duty as a little maid in the first half of her life. As for the second half...
it goes without saying!
However, just as Xiao Zhu lay on the prince's bed and waited for a long, long time, until she woke up from a light sleep, the prince still did not come back.
Where is His Highness?
Why haven’t you come back yet?
Xiao Zhu yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
Didn’t His Highness come back today?
Why haven’t you returned to your room yet?
Could it be that he went out again?
This shouldn't be the case...
Xiao Zhu yawned and got up from the bed. Looking out the window at the night, it seemed that it was already late!
Where did your highness go?
Xiao Zhu blinked, as if he just remembered something...
After His Highness came back today, it seemed that he went to look for Sister Zhiyuan?
etc……
Xiaozhu's face was slightly solemn. Your Highness, could it be that he stayed with Sister Zhiyuan?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Zhu didn't feel any strange emotions, instead... his eyes lit up slightly!
So Xiao Zhu put on his shoes and socks, opened the door, walked out, and tiptoed towards the next courtyard.
Late at night, a cold wind blows.
Xiao Zhu, who had just walked out of the room, realized that she was still wearing a skirt specially tailored for her prince's preferences. The skirt was too thin and revealing, and it was a little chilly in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, it was already midnight and no one else was around to see it.
Although it was a bit cold, Xiao Zhu still tiptoed to the next courtyard and came to the door of Sister Zhiyuan's room with ease...
Soon, Xiao Zhu verified his guess!
She heard the noise coming from the room...
Just as expected!
In the darkness, Xiaozhu, dressed in a thin and revealing skirt, lay stealthily at the door, and the cold wind from under the eaves fell on her snow-white skin.
Xiao Zhu seemed to feel nothing, with her eyes wide open and a slight blush on her face. She was eavesdropping on the sounds coming from the room with great interest.
Addicted to eavesdropping!
This was not the first or second time that Xiao Zhu had eavesdropped at the wall, and he had already gotten used to it.
And getting more excited.
At the same time, stimulated by the cold wind, her body seemed to have a different feeling. Xiao Zhu couldn't help but think of that night not long ago...
That night, she sneaked in to eavesdrop at the wall as usual, but was caught red-handed by Sister Zhiyuan.
Then……
She taught Sister Zhiyuan a lesson right in front of her!
I was Sister Zhiyuan’s teacher for a while!
Trainee sex teacher!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu's face became more and more red, but her black eyes became wider and wider with excitement.
Just when Xiao Zhu was completely immersed in his previous memories, he didn't notice at all that the faint sounds and movements in the room were gradually approaching, as if he was suppressing it, or struggling to resist.
Just as Xiao Zhu was eavesdropping with great interest outside the door, the originally tightly closed door suddenly slowly opened a crack...
Xiao Zhu, who was eavesdropping attentively, looked into the room with his bright and excited eyes through the gap.
Then……
Six eyes meeting!
Xiao Zhu's eyes immediately became dull, filled with shock, disbelief... and the instinctive panic of being caught red-handed.
"Your Highness, Sister Zhiyuan, I..."
Xiao Zhu was instantly panicked and at a loss, but her eyes widened as she stared at the scene in the room that made her extremely excited and curious.
Your Highness, you actually pinned Sister Zhiyuan against the door...
Instinctively, I wanted to turn around and run away, but I couldn't move my eyes away at all.
At this moment, the door, which had been opened a crack, suddenly opened completely. The next second, as if by some force, Xiao Zhu, who was outside the door, was pulled into the room.
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut.
Soon, an urgent voice was heard in the room.
"Zhiyuan, Xiaozhu actually eavesdropped. Come and silence her. Strip her clothes off and threaten her not to tell anyone..."
“…”
"Xiao Zhu, what are you still standing there for? Zhi Yuan wants to kill you to silence you... Come and help hold her down!"
“…”
early morning.
Outside Jiang Mansion.
"My prince hasn't gotten up yet. Please come back later."
Outside the Jiang residence, the guards were standing guard, swords hanging from their waists, their gazes fixed on the enemy. Just in front of the crowd, Lin Qingqing, dressed in a cyan suit, stood guard at the door, her face expressionless.
Not far in front of Lin Qingqing, there was a carriage parked.
There were several people standing in front of the carriage.
The leader was a middle-aged man with gray hair, a haggard face, and an uneasy expression.
Gao Boyan!
The current Minister of Personnel.
However, this senior official from the Six Ministries did not look spirited at all at this moment. Instead, he looked panic-stricken and haggard as if the end of the world was approaching.
These days, Gao Boyan has had a very hard time, one could even say that he is extremely sad!
The sky is falling!
In order to protect the Gao family and for the sake of profit, he used his own son's life in exchange for the trust of the Third Prince! This has greatly improved the status of his Gao family in the capital.
However, such good days did not last long!
Just a few days ago, on New Year's Eve, the third prince led his troops into the palace, intending to launch a mutiny and rebellion, but failed and was imprisoned!
When the news came, the Gao family was completely panicked.
If the third prince falls, will the Gao family still have a chance to survive?
Will the Gao family's former enemies let them go?
Gao Boyan, realizing that something was wrong, immediately thought of a retreat plan he had prepared long ago... Prince Lin!
When Gao Boyan was on the side of the Third Prince, he had spared no effort to win over the Prince of Lin just to be on the safe side! Although the Prince of Lin didn't seem very interested, he still accepted the gold, silver, treasures, and the sisters he sent.
Now that the Gao family is in trouble, Gao Boyan has no choice but to come to the door quickly... No matter what, Prince Lin has accepted his benefits, so it is impossible for him to just sit back and do nothing, right?
Gao Boyan also knew this in his mind. He did not expect that the Prince of Lin would keep their Gao family safe.
However, as long as the Prince of Lin is willing to protect the Gao family's safety, as long as he can live, even if it means paying a heavy price, he can accept it!
However, he had sent people to the Jiang residence over the past two days, but each time they were turned away. Every time he came, the guards said that Prince Lin was not at home.
Gao Boyan naturally didn't believe it, and his heart became more and more uneasy... Could it be that the Prince of Lin was just going to sit back and watch?
But at this moment, it was pouring rain!
Just last night, their Gao family was suddenly attacked! An unknown master suddenly broke into their Gao family last night and started a massacre!
Although the Gao family had guards who quickly drove away the masters, the Gao family still suffered varying degrees of damage, with many casualties.
Gao Boyan also quickly investigated the origins of these masters... they were from the Zhou family!
The Zhou family is here to take revenge!
The Zhou family has always held a grudge against Zhou Huiguang's death. Previously, the Gao family had the Third Prince's protection, so the Zhou family dared not act rashly. Now that the Third Prince has fallen, the Gao family is about to face disaster. The Zhou family's revenge has finally begun!
Gao Boyan realized that the Gao family was in complete trouble this time!
Even if they are not affected by the imperial court and are not implicated in the Third Prince's rebellious party, the Gao family will still be retaliated wildly by their enemies over the years!
So, early this morning, Gao Boyan came to pay a visit in person.
You came so early, Prince Lin couldn't be at home yet, right?
Right now, the only one who can save the Gao family is the Prince of Lin!
However, upon arriving, he was stopped by the guards at the door.
He was the Minister of Personnel, but now even a small guard didn't take him seriously.
But there was no anger on Gao Boyan's face. He knew that the female guard in front of him was the most trusted confidant of Prince Lin and she must not be offended.
"Excuse me, young lady, when will His Royal Highness get up?"
Lin Qingqing glanced at the person in front of her with disdain, her eyes showing no disdain at all.
The fact that Gao Boyan could kill his own son was enough to make Lin Qingqing look down on him.
What a beast!
If His Highness had not forbidden it, Lin Qingqing would have wanted to kill this beast with a single sword!
"have no idea."
Lin Qingqing said in a cold tone, expressionless: "My prince will get up naturally after he has had enough sleep!"
Seeing the female guard's ruthless voice, Gao Boyan still smiled apologetically and said humbly, "It's okay. Please inform the lady. I can wait!"
“…”
When Lin Jiangnian woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning!
I was a bit crazy last night, and my whole body is aching. Looking down, I can even see a lot of marks left by last night.
These were all left behind by Zhiyuan out of revenge due to extreme shame and anger!
However, when she took revenge on Lin Jiangnian, Lin Jiangnian also retaliated fiercely.
Not a loss!
Although it seemed to annoy Zhiyuan a little, Lin Jiangnian finally got what he wanted.
New achievements unlocked!
The Lord is my servant!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian felt refreshed. After running the Xuan Yang Heart Method in his body for a cycle, he became full of energy again.
Get up, get dressed, and wash up!
There was no sign of Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu in the yard. I wonder where they had gone.
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment, then turned and went to his aunt.
While my aunt is away, in the backyard, the sisters Jasmine and Fengling are still diligently practicing martial arts.
And Zhiyuan, as expected, was sitting under the eaves. His expression was cold and he had an air of someone who was not to be messed with!
Today, Zhiyuan wore a light-colored long dress with a double-breasted front, which gave her a sophisticated look. Her cool complexion seemed to have a rosy hue, indicating that she was in good spirits.
When Lin Jiangnian approached, he was quickly noticed!
Under the eaves, Zhiyuan turned her head and when she sensed Lin Jiangnian approaching, her cold face immediately flushed with shame, and her beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely with shame and anger.
"Kite..."
Lin Jiangnian shamelessly came to her side and said with a smile: "Why did you wake up so early? Did you sleep well?!"
Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes were filled with shame and anger, her face was as red as blood, and she was gorgeous and charming.
She said nothing.
"Don't be angry..."
Lin Jiangnian realized that she was angry and quickly comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, next time, it won't happen again..."
"Shut up!"
Zhiyuan finally spoke, her voice shy and hurried, interrupting Lin Jiangnian. She glanced at the sisters practicing martial arts in the backyard with some panic, lowered her voice, and warned him fiercely, "Don't mention it again!"
"Okay, don't mention it!"
Lin Jiangnian agreed.
"If it happens again, I will..."
Zhiyuan bit her lower lip, feeling ashamed and angry.
Thinking of what happened last night, her face flushed red and her whole body tensed up.
Ashamed, angry and shocked!
He, how could he have so many dirty...ideas?!
Thinking of the unbearable scenes that happened last night... How could she be so confused as to actually cooperate with him?
Thinking of this, Zhiyuan felt an urge to feel extremely ashamed and angry.
How could she be such a...woman?
How could she, who already had a thin skin, withstand such stimulation?
"Okay, okay, there won't be a next time... Don't be angry, calm down, calm down..."
Lin Jiangyang soothed her in a gentle voice and said a series of nice words. After coaxing her for a long time, he finally managed to calm the angry Zhiyuan down.
However, although he was temporarily coaxed into silence, Zhiyuan still had a stern face and was unwilling to pay attention to Lin Jiangnian.
However, Lin Jiangnian was not too worried.
Based on his understanding of Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan wasn't really angry with him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cooperated so well last night...even though there was an element of Lin Jiangnian's coercion in it.
But at least, it shouldn't be that difficult for her to accept.
And this reaction right now is more likely to be due to being thin-skinned, not daring to accept it, and not daring to face him... a reaction used to cover up one's emotions.
Of course, there is definitely some anger involved.
But it will only take a few days, and once she calms down, everything will be fine after you coax her!
Then wait for a while, maybe Lin Jiangnian will be able to secretly reproduce it again...
Scored twice!
…
Just as Lin Jiangnian was saying nice things to coax his little kite, Lin Qingqing rushed in from the front yard and brought news about Gao Boyan.
"Your Highness, Gao Boyan has been waiting outside the mansion for a long time and wants to see Your Highness!"
"He came in person?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, knowing what was going on: "It seems like he can't sit still anymore?"
Lin Qingqing said, "Yesterday, I delivered the news to the Zhou family according to His Highness' instructions. Just last night, Zhou Yao, as expected, sent people to attack the Gao family..."
Listening to Lin Qingqing's report, Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly. This was all part of his plan.
"That……"
Lin Qingqing asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you need me to drive him away?"
“No need!”
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on the pair of sisters diligently practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and he said calmly, "This prince accepted his things, how can I not do my job? If this gets out, what will happen to my reputation?"
Lin Qingqing had a blank expression on her face. She was used to seeing her prince say such shameless words.
Zhiyuan also had a cold face... He tossed and turned for half the night last night and was not feeling well and hadn't recovered yet.
I'm still angry!
"No matter what, Master Gao gifted me a pair of sisters with exceptional martial arts talent. It's only logical that I should meet him!"
As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand casually: "Please let him in."
"yes."
Lin Qingqing turned and left.
Then, Lin Jiangnian took Zhiyuan's hand again and said, "Tell me, if Gao Boyan saw that the sisters he had painstakingly cultivated turned out to be rare martial arts geniuses, would he regret giving them away?"
"snort!"
Zhiyuan pulled her hand back with force and glared at him: "Don't touch me!"
"I'll just touch your hand!"
“Not allowed!”
"Don't be so stingy..."
Zhiyuan wanted to get up and leave angrily, but Lin Jiangnian coaxed her back down: "Okay, okay, I won't touch you anymore..."
"Don't be angry!"
“…”
Just as Lin Jiangnian continued to coax the little kite, Gao Boyan walked into the backyard under the guidance of Lin Qingqing.
As soon as Gao Boyan walked into the backyard, he saw the pair of sisters practicing martial arts in the backyard.
He was stunned... Aren't these the pair of sisters he gave to Lin Jiangnian before?
What are they doing?
At this moment, Jasmine and Fengling, who were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, also saw Gao Boyan suddenly appear in the corridor. The sisters' faces almost subconsciously showed panic, as if they recalled some bad memory and became anxious.
Gao, why is Mr. Gao here?!
Perhaps the previous shadow memory was too profound, causing them both to stand there in a daze, their bodies stiff, motionless, and not daring to breathe.
However, just when the two were feeling uneasy.
In their sight, the once high and mighty Mr. Gao, who easily controlled the fate of their sisters, suddenly stepped forward quickly, grovelled and came to the side of His Royal Highness, who was not far away, with a flattering look on his face.
This scene made the two sisters stand there in a daze.
Although they knew that His Highness's identity was very powerful, extremely powerful... this scene still left a deep impression on the two sisters and they would never forget it!
It turned out that the Master Gao, whom the two sisters had feared so much in the past, was nothing more than a small character who needed to be humbled and fawned over in front of His Highness...
…
Under the eaves.
Gao Boyan walked over quickly and came under the eaves humbly.
"Your subordinate, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged man who was standing not far from him, bending over with a respectful attitude, with a playful look in his eyes.
Gao Boyan, who had been full of vigor and energy not long ago, now seemed haggard and aged overnight. His face was devoid of its former spirit, his eyes sunken in, his expression solemn, cautious and fearful.
"Master Gao, long time no see!"
Lin Jiang smiled young.
Gao Boyan raised his head slightly and met the playful gaze of Prince Lin in front of him.
There was silence for a while.
The next second, Gao Boyan suddenly fell to his knees in front of Lin Jiangnian with a plop and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Highness, help me!"
"Your Highness, please, for the sake of our past kindness, save the lives of our Gao family!"
Gao Boyan's sudden kneeling stunned many people.
Lin Qingqing looked slightly surprised. A dignified Minister of Personnel actually knelt in front of his own prince as soon as he was told to... At the same time as being surprised, a trace of deep fear rose in Lin Qingqing's eyes.
This Gao Boyan is indeed not a simple person, he can bend and stretch. In the past, he could kill his own son, and today he can kneel down at the command of others... This man is too dangerous!
Can’t keep it!
In the courtyard, Jasmine and Feng Ling were also completely stunned, staring at the scene in a daze.
Messy in the wind!
Just seeing Mr. Gao's servile appearance was enough to shock the two of them.
Then, the scene of Lord Gao suddenly kneeling in front of His Highness the Crown Prince made them both completely doubt their lives!
At this moment, I felt a sense of relief, a sense of revenge...
As a high-ranking official in one of the six ministries and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he is also a powerful and well-known figure in the court!
However, at this moment, he was kneeling in front of a young man who was several decades younger than him!
This scene is extremely ironic!
Lin Jiangnian's eyes remained calm as he looked at Gao Boyan who suddenly knelt before him. He shook his head and sighed, "Master Gao, this won't happen. Get up quickly... We can talk it over!"
Gao Boyan did not move. He continued to kneel in front of Lin Jiangnian, without any trace of the demeanor of a minister.
"Your Highness, my Gao family is facing a great disaster and will soon die. I boldly ask Your Highness to save my Gao family... I am willing to pay any price..."
Gao Boyan's voice was low and firm: "This humble official is willing to offer all his family property, only asking Your Highness to save the lives of my Gao family..."
I have to say that Gao Boyan invested a lot of money!
All the family property?
Judging from the gold, silver and treasures that Gao Boyan sent last time, the wealth accumulated by the Gao family over the years is probably not a small amount!
The fact that he is willing to pay such a huge price is enough to show his courage.
"Master Gao, please stand up first... You are the elder, and I am the younger. How can an elder kneel before a younger one..."
Lin Jiang sighed, "Master Gao, there's no need to worry. I believe that Master Gao is innocent and did not participate in the Third Prince's rebellion. I will definitely find a way to help Master Gao."
Hearing this, Gao Boyan excitedly raised his head: "Your Highness, are you serious?!"
"Of course I take it seriously."
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "Master Gao is willing to spend so much money, how could this prince not know how to repay him? Speaking of which, I haven't even had time to thank Master Gao for sending me two geniuses with such amazing martial arts talents!"
"Martial arts talent?"
Gao Boyan was stunned for a moment, then he realized something and looked at the pair of sisters in the courtyard... The pair of sisters whom he gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were actually martial arts geniuses?
Gao Boyan realized something and calmed down. He immediately said, "As long as Your Highness saves my Gao family this time, I will follow Your Highness's lead in the future and collect martial arts geniuses and rare treasures from all over the world for Your Highness, and dedicate them all to Your Highness..."
It has to be said that Gao Boyan was very humble and at the same time, the conditions he proposed were very tempting.
So tempting that it is irresistible.
"Since Mr. Gao is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush!"
Lin Jiang smiled and said, "I will go to the palace later to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and plead for Mr. Gao. I will do my best to ensure that Mr. Gao is safe and sound..."
"As for the other noble families, if anyone dares to harm Master Gao again, just announce my name."
As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian felt around and took out a token, which he threw to Gao Boyan: "Take this token, and from now on you will be under the protection of this prince!"
Gao Boyan took the token and couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
There is help!
The Gao family is finally saved!
Unexpectedly, Prince Lin was actually willing to save his Gao family?!
Gao Boyan, who had originally had doubts in his heart, looked at the token in his hand with excitement and his eyes turned red.
Although they no longer have the backing of the Third Prince, they now have the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and their Gao family is saved!
With the support of Prince Lin, what is there to be afraid of?!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Gao Boyan couldn't help but want to kowtow.
"Master Gao, calm down. Go back and wait for news. Don't worry. When I enter the palace later, I'll go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and speak well of Master Gao..."
Lin Jiangnian made a solemn promise.
Gao Boyan thanked him profusely and left with a thrill of emotion. His steps became light as he left, as if all the pressure had been lifted off his body.
After Gao Boyan left, Lin Qingqing, who had been silent the whole time, looked at His Highness with confusion and worry on her face: "Your Highness, are you...really going to save the Gao family?"
"Did I say I wanted to save you?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.
"But, Your Highness, didn't you say..." Lin Qingqing was puzzled.
"I only said I would put in a few good words for him, but whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can let him go... I can't guarantee that!"
Lin Qingqing was slightly startled, then she realized... Did His Highness set a trap for Gao Boyan just now?!
It seems that His Highness did not make any promise?
But this Mr. Gao obviously mistakenly believed that His Highness would be willing to protect him...
"But Your Highness, why did you give him the token? And why did you let him spread the word?"
Lin Qingqing asked worriedly again.
"Otherwise, how could he take the bait?"
Lin Jiangnian smiled.
Lin Qingqing then realized something... Your Highness, I'm afraid you have another plan!
"Qingqing?"
"I'm here!"
"Go to Zhou's house again..."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Go do something for me."
“…”
After Lin Qingqing left, Lin Jiangnian sat quietly there and looked back at Zhiyuan beside him.
Zhiyuan looked coldly at the sisters who were still practicing martial arts in the backyard.
"Kite?"
Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked, "Tell me, am I a bad person?"
Zhiyuan slowly turned her head and looked at him with a blank expression: "Yes!"
"How bad?"
“Very bad!”
Hearing Zhiyuan's stern answer, Lin Jiangnian laughed: "Then was I also very bad just now?"
Seeing that Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Lin Jiangnian sighed again: "Master Gao is obviously already in a very miserable situation, and this prince still tricks him like this, isn't that very mean?"
"I accepted so many things from him, but he's actually trying to kick me when I'm down... Am I particularly bad?"
"The really bad kind?"
Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian in a daze. There had been a hint of anger in her cold eyes, but now it seemed to have dissipated.
She looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly. After a while, she took a deep breath and looked away.
"You are really fast... so bad!"
Zhiyuan had no expression on his face, but after a pause, he said, "But just now..."
"You're not bad!"
"Not bad at all!"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Zhiyuan to say that. He stared at the delicate and fair profile of the girl in front of him. She was very beautiful!
And the expressionless tone she used when she said he wasn't bad at all was inexplicably cute!
So cute!
Lin Jiangnian suddenly smiled, then reached out and hugged Zhiyuan next to him in his arms.
"Zhiyuan is really great. She even praises your Highness!"
"Let me go!"
Zhiyuan was caught off guard and held in Lin Jiangnian's arms. She instinctively struggled and resisted... She was still angry!
How could he hug her? !
She hasn't forgiven him for what he did last night?!
Zhiyuan thought angrily in his heart.
Struggle hard!
But Lin Jiangnian let the girl in his arms struggle and hugged her tighter. Then, he kissed her hard on her delicate and blushing face!
"The kite is awesome! This is a reward from His Highness!"
"No, no kissing!"
Zhiyuan's pretty face blushed and she spoke in anger.
"Just kiss, kiss, kiss!"
“…”
