Jiang Mansion, front yard, front hall.
A pretty woman in a light blue brocade dress was standing quietly under the eaves, waiting for a long time.
The woman had a sweet and pure appearance, yet she carried a certain coldness that kept people at a distance. Her brocade dress fitted tightly around her body, tightly wrapping her curvy figure, revealing stunning curves and a smooth, rounded appearance.
She wore a white-blue coat and had a slender figure. She stood quietly under the eaves, her sweet and clear eyes surveying the surroundings, seemingly bored.
"Are you Xiaozhu?"
Jinxiu spoke softly, looking at a pretty maid on the other side of the eaves.
Xiao Zhu blinked and looked at the elegant and beautiful woman in front of him: "Do you know me?"
"I've heard of it."
Her beautiful eyes looked Xiao Zhu up and down, a smile on her face: "I heard from your prince that you are his favorite maid?"
Xiao Zhu blushed slightly and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no... I, I am just your highness's personal maid..."
"oh?"
Jinxiu also blinked, seemed very interested, and asked, "How come it's so close?"
“…”
Xiao Zhu's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know how to respond to this beautiful sister.
How does it fit so closely?
How can I describe this?
"I am, your Highness's personal maid... responsible for taking care of your Highness's daily life..."
Jinxiu listened quietly and blinked again: "That's all?"
"No, no more..."
"Shouldn't there be more?"
"what else?"
"Sleeping with your Highness?"
Jinxiu winked at Xiaozhu and teased, "Xiaozhu, you are so beautiful. Didn't your Highness ask you to warm his bed at night?"
"Didn't I catch you sleeping with me?"
Xiao Zhu's pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly: "I, His Highness, he, he..."
Warm bed?
Sleep with the emperor?
Of course there is.
More than once or twice.
I'm even about to unlock all the eighteen martial arts postures...
But how could Xiao Zhu say such a thing?
Why does this beautiful sister ask so directly?
Just when Xiaozhu's face turned red and she felt shy and embarrassed, the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the eaves eased Xiaozhu's embarrassment.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?!"
Jinxiu subconsciously looked back and saw Lin Jiangnian walking slowly towards her under the eaves not far away.
"Miss Jinxiu, how come you have time to come and see me today?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Jinxiu standing under the eaves, smiled, and spoke happily.
"Hey, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Lin!"
Jinxiu saw Lin Jiangnian and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why? Your Highness doesn't welcome you?"
"How could that be? Miss Jinxiu is here, and this prince is naturally welcome."
Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "After all, Miss Jinxiu has done this prince a favor."
"oh?"
Jinxiu seemed a little surprised and asked in confusion: "When did I ever do anything good for His Highness?"
Lin Jiangnian asked back, "Isn't the grace of feeding medicine also a grace?"
The favor of feeding medicine?
Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and her face flushed slightly.
"Can that be considered a favor?"
"Why can't it be counted?"
Lin Jiangnian approached slowly and said with emotion, "If it weren't for Miss Jinxiu's careful care, how could this prince have recovered so quickly? This is all thanks to Miss Jinxiu!"
After Lin Jiangnian's flattery, Jinxiu felt a little guilty.
She didn't actually do anything.
It was her princess who saved Prince Lin, and she was only following the princess's orders. If he wanted to express gratitude, he should thank her princess first.
"Xiao Zhu, you go down first."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Xiaozhu who was eavesdropping beside him and waved his hand.
Only then did Xiao Zhu look at His Highness with a hint of resentment, and said "Oh" reluctantly.
However, those dark and bright eyes were turning quietly.
Something's wrong, something's wrong!
What is the grace of feeding medicine?
What careful care?
As expected, this beautiful sister couldn't escape the clutches of her own prince...
…
After sending Xiaozhu away, Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw Jinxiu with her arms folded across her chest, looking at him with a smile.
She was naturally sweet-looking, and when she smiled, two dimples appeared on her face, adding to her cuteness. And this mischievous look made her smile seem to carry a deeper meaning.
"Your Highness, Prince Lin, I never thought that the personal maids around you would be so beautiful."
"You're not bad either!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on Jinxiu, and he quickly noticed that she was hugging her chest with her hands, slightly bringing her full and round breasts together, causing Lin Jiangnian's eyes to unconsciously slide down.
Jinxiu was about to speak when she quickly realized something was wrong.
When she noticed where Lin Jiangnian's eyes were fixed, her expression became a little unnatural, and she subconsciously covered her chest with her hands.
"What are you looking at, Your Highness?"
"The murder weapon."
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze, his expression normal, and spoke seriously.
However, Jinxiu's face turned even redder, and she gritted her teeth, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry.
"Your Highness, how can you be so vulgar?"
Lin Jiangnian asked in bewilderment, "When did this prince become vulgar?"
“…”
Jinxiu was embarrassed and annoyed. This Prince Lin was indeed a complete and filthy pervert.
The key is not to admit it!
Jinxiu turned her head away and said unhappily, "Your Highness knows it clearly in your heart."
"This prince is not clear in his mind."
Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Miss Jinxiu, can you please tell me clearly?"
“No need!”
Jinxiu blushed and snorted.
After several previous encounters, Jinxiu had already learned her lesson.
You can't talk to the Prince of Lin easily, otherwise you will easily be influenced and deceived by him.
This Prince Lin is a pervert. If she continues to be fooled by him, one day she might end up like the maid named Xiaozhu just now and be coaxed into his bed by him.
Thinking of this, Jinxiu blushed slightly, and she raised her eyes and glared at Lin Jiangnian.
"Why is Miss Jinxiu glaring at me?"
“…”
Jinxiu took a deep breath, then raised her eyes to look at Lin Jiangnian, bit her lip lightly, and said unhappily: "My princess wants to see you."
"Your princess wants to see this prince?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Didn't we see it last time?"
"Last time you wanted to see my princess, this time it's the princess who wants to see you."
Jinxiu said sullenly.
Jinxiu naturally understood why the princess wanted to see the Prince of Lin. Unaware of what was going on, she subconsciously glanced at Lin Jiangnian.
If he really married the princess, wouldn't she also have to...
"We just met last time, so there's no need this time, right?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and said, "I've already made it clear with your princess last time. This prince is also fully prepared. I'm going to ask His Majesty for your princess' hand in marriage!"
"If you have anything to say, wait until I marry your princess back to Linzhou."
Lin Jiangnian refused without hesitation.
The eldest princess sent Jinxiu over, obviously she was losing her patience and was worried that Lin Jiangnian would really do it.
At this time, Lin Jiangnian had to keep calm and control the eldest princess.
You took a tough stance last time, but now it’s my turn!
…
Jinxiu was stunned, as if she didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to refuse so bluntly.
This attitude of refusal and the recent news coming out of the Jiang Mansion all confirmed this.
Is Prince Lin really going to marry the eldest princess?
If he really comes to her, what will happen to her princess?
Jinxiu was the first one to get restless.
"The marriage proposal... is not urgent for now. Your Highness, my princess is looking for you this time because she has something important to tell you!"
"oh?"
Lin Jiangnian seemed a little surprised: "What's the important thing?"
"This... Your Highness will know once you meet my princess."
"If it's such an important matter, why can't she come in person?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said calmly, "Since your princess has something important to discuss with me, shouldn't she come and ask me personally?"
"Could it be that in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, this prince is not worthy of her eyes and she doesn't take me seriously?"
"Absolutely not!"
Jinxiu quickly denied: "My princess definitely doesn't take His Highness lightly. It's just... the princess is busy, so she sent me here to invite His Highness."
Lin Jiangnian sneered when he heard this: "Since you are busy with important matters, let's wait until your princess is done."
beautiful:"……"
How could she not know that Lin Jiangnian was deliberately making things difficult for her?
She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and looked at Lin Jiangnian with a dim gaze: "Could it be that in the eyes of His Highness, I am not important at all?"
Being stared at by Jinxiu with such a sudden resentful gaze, Lin Jiangnian felt a little unnatural: "Miss Jinxiu, that's not the case, of course..."
"Then why does Your Highness make things so difficult for me..."
Jinxiu's eyes grew even more resentful, and she lowered her head slightly, acting like an angry young wife. "I came to see His Highness in person, but he left me hanging at his house... I finally managed to see His Highness, but he still asked the princess to come and invite me personally..."
"Forget it. In His Highness's heart, I really have no status at all. I am not worthy of inviting His Highness..."
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
Why are you suddenly chatting?
"This prince has absolutely no such intention."
Lin Jiangnian said unhappily, "Stop acting."
"Where can I find it?"
Jinxiu bit her lower lip and said aggrievedly, "Isn't everything I said true?"
"I have come all this way, but Your Highness, how could you possibly take me seriously? If I fail to invite Your Highness back, the princess will surely be angry, and she will punish me... I am so miserable..."
“…”
“You win!”
Although he knew that Jinxiu was pretending, Lin Jiangnian still felt a little sorry for her because of her sad and resentful look, as if she was a punching bag who had suffered a great injustice.
When Lin Jiangnian first arrived in the capital and was seriously injured, it was this beautiful girl who took care of him carefully.
Although Jinxiu had her own agenda, it was harmless. Lin Jiangnian's rapid recovery and rapid growth in internal energy were largely due to her contributions.
Lin Jiangnian naturally remembered this favor.
"Stop pretending. Can't I go see your princess?"
Jinxiu's expression was still sad. She bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, there is no need to pity me... I, I am not pitiful at all."
“…”
"If you keep pretending, don't blame me for being rude." Lin Jiangnian said unhappily.
Jinxiu was about to continue her performance, but when she saw Prince Lin's eyes suddenly turn vicious, staring at her with ill intent, she instinctively took two steps back, her pretty face slightly red, and snorted, "Who told you to just bully me?"
"Is this called bullying?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and sneered, "When I marry your princess and have her sleep with me tonight, I'll let you know what bullying is!"
"Pooh!"
Jinxiu's face turned even redder, her eyes filled with shame: "I, I won't sleep with you!"
"Then it won't be up to you!"
"snort!"
Jinxiu blushed and turned her head away.
But soon, she thought of something and turned to look at Lin Jiangnian. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you really planning to marry my princess?"
"Does this prince look like I'm joking?"
"What if my princess doesn't marry?"
"The emperor has granted you a marriage, and your princess dares to disobey his order?"
"Can……"
Jinxiu subconsciously wanted to speak, but quickly held herself back.
"Why? You don't want your princess to marry me?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at Jinxiu's sweet and slightly worried face, with a half-smile on his face.
"No."
"Why?"
Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm afraid you'll bully my princess."
"Your princess is so skilled in martial arts, how could this prince possibly bully her?"
Jinxiu thought about it and it seemed to make sense?
Our princess is so powerful that even if she marries Lin Jiangnian, we don’t have to worry about being bullied.
Unless... His Royal Highness the Prince Lin used some shameful means.
"On the contrary, you should be worried."
Lin Jiangnian walked up to Jinxiu, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said with a smile: "When I marry your princess home, I will be the first one to bully you."
"You, you...you are repaying kindness with enmity!"
"Nonsense! This prince is clearly repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude!"
"Where does this little drop of grace come from?"
"The medicine you fed me last time was just a drop of water, wasn't it?"
"What about your gratitude?"
Lin Jiangnian leaned close to Jinxiu's ear.
"Then I will feed you too..."
“…”
Jinxiu's delicate body froze in place, her face instantly flushed red with shame and anger.
I wished I could find a crack to crawl into right there and then.
"You hooligan, pervert, lecher, vulgar... You, don't even think about it..."
“…”
In the elegant and quiet courtyard, a figure in white clothes sits in the pavilion.
The cold wind blew up her thin long skirt, and the skirt ribbons fluttered, making her look a bit fairy-like.
An expressionless face, as cold as frost, seemed to cause the temperature around him to drop a little.
She sat there quietly, staring at the distant horizon, without saying a word.
The cold sword that he almost never left his body was placed on the stone table beside him.
There were gusts of cold wind, but she just sat there, as if she was not afraid of the cold, as if she had entered some mysterious state.
It was not until a long time later that noises came from outside the yard, breaking all the peace.
Soon, a graceful figure hurried into the yard.
"Princess!"
"I have invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Lin!"
In the courtyard, outside the pavilion.
Jinxiu stood outside the pavilion and began to report.
In the pavilion, the eldest princess seemed to slowly come back to her senses and nodded slightly.
His eyes fell on Jinxiu, and he was about to speak, but suddenly paused.
"What’s wrong with you?"
As soon as the words fell, Jinxiu outside the pavilion became a little flustered and her pretty face flushed.
But soon, she started to complain with a look of grievance on her face.
"Your Highness, Prince Lin, he, he..."
"Bully me!"
"Woo woo woo, you have to make the decision for me!"
“…”
