Chapter 221: Not Planning to Marry the Eldest Princess

On a deep winter night, Lin Jiangnian was ruthlessly driven out of the room.

Standing in the courtyard, he looked back at the dim light in the room. Jiang Yuxiang drove him out, obviously intending to whisper something to Zhiyuan.

The content of the whisper was not intended for Lin Jiangnian to hear.

Lin Jiangnian was not curious, but just a little regretful. He wanted to find Zhiyuan tonight to get in touch with her. After a long separation, he missed her a little.

As a result, his aunt suddenly appeared and interfered, disrupting Lin Jiangnian's plan, so he had to give up.

Standing in the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian sighed and prepared to go back to his room. Just when he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly heard a pretty voice in the dark night: "Your Highness?"

Lin Jiangnian stopped and turned his head. In the dark night, under the eaves not far away, there was a pretty figure standing.

"Xiaozhu?"

Xiaozhu, wearing a light-colored skirt, was standing under the eaves, as if she had just taken a bath. Her skin was white and slightly steaming. Her hair, which had not been completely dried, fell down wetly, looking particularly tempting. Just like a tender and plump apple, people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised.

Xiaozhu then explained that it was Sister Zhiyuan who asked her to move here today. Xiaozhu's room was just not far from Zhiyuan.

Xiaozhu also felt a little strange. She was the maid of the prince. Logically, she should stay with the prince to serve him, but for some reason, Sister Zhiyuan didn't let her serve the prince, but let the little maid idle.

Lin Jiangnian was also strange, but he didn't think too much. Looking at the pretty Xiaozhu in front of him, his eyes moved slightly.

"Xiaozhu."

"Hmm?"

"Let's go to this prince's room..."

"..."

Early morning.

It was not yet light.

It was not until the sky outside the window was bright that the girl on the bed sat up alertly. And the man who was sleeping soundly beside her subconsciously wanted to bury herself in the quilt.

But after looking at the sky outside the window, she was immediately a little flustered. She carefully picked up the scattered clothes, slowly put them on, and tiptoed out of bed. Looking back at the prince who was still sleeping on the bed, the girl bit her lip lightly, then pushed open the door and walked out.

After carefully scanning the surroundings and making sure that there was no one, Xiaozhu wrapped her clothes tightly, sneaked back to the small courtyard next door, and slipped back to her room.

After running into the room and closing the door, she breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She stayed overnight in the prince's room last night. If Sister Zhiyuan found out...

For some reason, Xiaozhu always felt that Sister Zhiyuan was very strange during this period, and the way she looked at her was very strange, especially when Sister Zhiyuan said some inexplicable words to her before. Although Xiaozhu didn't understand, she was vaguely aware of something.

If Sister Zhiyuan knew that she had secretly stayed in His Highness's room last night... Xiaozhu didn't know what she was thinking, and a little uneasiness appeared on her delicate face.

But...

She glanced outside the door. Fortunately, it was not yet completely light, and Sister Zhiyuan should not have gotten up yet...

It should not be discovered, right?

Thinking of this, Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and felt it, and her fair face flushed again.

...

When Lin Jiangnian woke up, it was already bright outside the window. There was nothing beside him, and there was a little girl's fragrance left. Lying on the bed, he stretched. Relaxed all over, extremely comfortable.

In the morning, Xiaozhu sneaked back quietly, and Lin Jiangnian naturally noticed it, but he did not stop her. The little maid was thin-skinned, and it was okay to do bad things in the dark, but if her little actions were discovered in broad daylight, she might be extremely shy and hide from him for several days.

Besides, who doesn't want a sensible little maid who can handle things afterward?

Lin Jiangnian obviously felt that his body was clearer, and the majestic breath that had been accumulated in his body seemed to have found an outlet, and the internal force in his body was obviously purer.

On the other hand, there was no weakness or discomfort at all. The Xuanyang Heart Method in his body was running, and his breath was still long, thick, and majestic.

This Xuanyang Heart Method is indeed the most rigid and yang pure heart method in the world!

Lying on the bed, feeling the softness of the quilt and the remaining fragrance of the girl for a long time, Lin Jiangnian slowly got up and dressed.

Just after putting on his clothes, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a gentle figure appeared at the door. As soon as he walked into the room, he seemed to notice something, looked around with beautiful eyes, and sniffed slightly with his delicate nose. When his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian again, there was a few more meaningful sneers.

Lin Jiangnian originally thought it was a maid, but when he saw that she didn't say anything, he looked up.

"Aunt?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. He didn't expect his aunt to come to his house so early in the morning.

Today, Jiang Yuxiang was wearing a plain and elegant long gown with a skirt and embroidery with many white plum blossoms. The elegance set off her extraordinary appearance. The skirt was close to her body, and her proud figure was looming. Even with the mink long gown covering it, it still couldn't be blocked, but added a bit of seductive color.

Although her figure was so proud, her face was beautiful, dignified and elegant, especially her beautiful eyes, with a mature temperament that seemed natural, staring at him with a smile.

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he was stared at by his aunt with this inexplicable smile, "Aunt, why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Yuxiang didn't say anything, but slowly approached until she came to Lin Jiangnian, smiling; "I didn't realize that you were actually... hiding a beautiful woman last night?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian subconsciously jumped.

Discovered?

That's right!

Being caught red-handed, he was somewhat embarrassed and nervous. Lin Jiangnian coughed and said, "Auntie is really smart, she can find this!"

Unobtrusive praise.

Jiang Yuxiang sneered, "Sure enough, you are still stubborn!"

Lin Jiangnian just coughed and smiled awkwardly, and didn't say anything. After all, Auntie is an elder, so it's better not to talk too much at this time.

However, Jiang Yuxiang didn't seem to intend to let him go. She squinted and stared at Lin Jiangnian's face, trying to see something from his face.

Although Lin Jiangnian was calm, he was still a little guilty when being stared at like this. He looked at his aunt's eyes, but for some reason, he saw a strange look in his aunt's eyes.

What is this?

Before Lin Jiangnian had time to think about it, Jiang Yuxiang looked away again, and a hint of playful sneer appeared on her face again: "Tell me, who were you hanging out with here last night?"

The tone was like an elder interrogating a younger generation, and there was also a bit of scrutiny at the scene of catching an adulterer.

"Aunt, how can you call this hanging out?"

Lin Jiangnian coughed again.

"What else?"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at him coldly: "You haven't married yet, and the relationship between men and women is so chaotic. I'm afraid that the girls in Linjiang City have suffered a lot from your hands over the years?"

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Jiangnian denied it flatly.

"Heh!"

Jiang Yuxiang half-squinted his eyes and sneered: "Are you worthy of Zhiyuan like this?"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned, "Aunt, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Yuxiang smiled and said: "Zhiyuan lives next door, but you were hanging out with other women in the room behind her back last night. Are you worthy of her?"

What a moral kidnapping!

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Auntie, are you here to condemn me today?"

"Of course not, your little thing has been known to the whole world, do I need to condemn you?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked indifferent and disdainful. She turned around and slowly sat down at the table behind the screen. Under the hem of her long skirt, her long legs, like bright jade shoots, were slightly raised.

The stunning and cold face added a little arrogance and gentle beauty. In terms of appearance and temperament, Jiang Yuxiang deserved to be the fourth lady of the Jiang family. Not to mention that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the temperament cultivated by this wealthy family is difficult for ordinary people to match.

Even if she just sits there casually, it is very pleasing to the eye.

She sat there, glanced at Lin Jiangnian casually, and slightly restrained the smile on her face: "It doesn't matter who you hang out with, but don't hurt Zhiyuan's heart. If I know that you have let Zhiyuan down, I will never forgive you."

Although the tone was light, it was very serious.

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a while, then stood up and came to the table, sat down as well, and said, "Don't worry, auntie, I will never let Zhiyuan down."

"I don't believe it!"

Lin Jiangnian had just made this promise when Jiang Yuxiang curled her lips in disdain.

However, she said so, but she didn't say anything else. She just glanced at the room, her eyes accidentally fell on the messy bed not far away, as if she thought of something, secretly spit, and glared at him again.

This guy, really is...

"Next time you do... bad things, remember to deal with the scene. If it wasn't me today, but Zhiyuan, you'd see how you end up!"

"Thank you for reminding me, auntie." Lin Jiangnian looked like he had learned something.

Jiang Yuxiang's words did remind him. Although Zhiyuan didn't have the habit of coming to him early in the morning, he had to be on guard. What if Zhiyuan came to him early in the morning for the first time and ran into him...

That would be hard to explain!

"By the way, aunt, you came to see me early in the morning, what's the matter?"

"Of course it's something important."

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him lightly. Being interrupted by this guy, she almost forgot the business. She looked at Lin Jiangnian twice and half-squinted her eyes: "You came to Beijing this time for the engagement with the eldest princess, right?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded, not surprised that his aunt would ask about this.

"Aunt asks you..."

Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes: "Are you going to marry her?"

Seeing Jiang Yuxiang's serious look, Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "Why does aunt ask this?"

"Don't worry, answer me!"

Jiang Yuxiang stared at him: "Did your father ask you to come to Beijing this time to marry her back, or for other purposes?"

Faced with his aunt's aggressive questioning, Lin Jiangnian was silent and sighed: "My father, he actually hopes that I can marry the eldest princess back."

"Why?"

Jiang Yuxiang asked.

"She's amazing."

Jiang Yuxiang was stunned: "That's it?"

"That's it."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, and couldn't help but think of what Lin Hengzhong had mentioned to him before.

"The eldest princess is a rare martial arts genius in the world in the past hundred years. She is extremely talented and her martial arts foundation is unfathomable. If nothing unexpected happens, she will sooner or later become a master, or even... a grand master!"

"If we can marry her back and guard the gate of the Lin Palace, I'm afraid no one in the world will dare to go wild in the Lin Palace again."

A grand master may not be able to change the world situation, but it can definitely change the fate of some people easily! The reputation of the grand master is much more powerful than himself.

Hearing this suddenly, Jiang Yuxiang looked strange: "Marry her back to guard the gate of your palace?"

"Is it your idea or your father's idea?"

"Is there a difference?"

"If she hears, she will definitely break your legs!" Jiang Yuxiang said unhappily.

This father and son, do they really dare to say that?

In their eyes, the princess is just this kind of use?

Lin Jiangnian is naturally not afraid: "Didn't she threaten before that if I dare to come to the capital, she would break my legs. Now I have arrived in the capital, and I haven't seen any reaction from her."

He looked relaxed, squinting his eyes, and was fearless. The princess was probably just showing off her tongue.

"What about you?"

Jiang Yuxiang thought of something again and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Are you going to marry her?"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Is this something I can decide?"

"Stop making jokes and tell the truth."

Jiang Yuxiang stared at him: "Are you really going to marry her when you come to the capital this time? Or, do you have other purposes?"

Lin Jiangnian originally wanted to say something to fool him, but he saw Jiang Yuxiang staring at him without blinking, with a serious look.

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Why does my aunt ask so carefully?"

My aunt, I'm afraid she already knows something.

"Can you hide your little trick from me?"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered.

"My aunt is really the smartest person in the world!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Yuxiang slapped him unhappily, and then stared at Lin Jiangnian seriously: "So, you really don't plan to marry her?"

Since he was discovered, Lin Jiangnian did not deny it anymore and nodded.

He didn't plan to marry the princess, from the beginning. Going to Beijing to marry the princess has always been just a cover. His real purpose is to use the excuse of marrying the princess to give him a legitimate reason to go to Beijing.

He has never mentioned this secret to anyone, not even Zhiyuan.

But the aunt in front of him saw through the essence of it at a glance.

"Why?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Auntie, do you have to ask so clearly?"

"What else?" Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Your engagement with her was made by the current emperor. If you regret it now, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Lin Jiangnian was not worried and shook his head: "I am not the only one who wants to regret it."

"What do you mean?"

"The eldest princess is also unwilling to marry me. I think she should want to regret it more than me!"

"..."
