son, don't mess around

Chapter 433 Is it delicious?

Side yard, inside the room.

It was getting late, and Xiaozhu, who had just taken a bath, put on a pair of loose pajamas, wiped her hair clean, came to the bed, and carefully made the bed.

Immediately, he closed the doors and windows, returned to the bed, took off his shoes and socks, placed them neatly, and then sat on the bed carefully.

He wrapped himself in the quilt, wrapped it tightly, and sat on the bed in a daze.

It was getting late, but she wasn't feeling sleepy yet.

During these days when His Highness was away, Sister Xu Lan stayed with her. But today, Sister Xu Lan was frightened away by her Highness, leaving her alone to guard the empty room.

When I went over to His Highness' side just now, I found that His Highness was not in the room. Then, His Highness must be in Sister Zhiyuan's room.

Although Xiaozhu misses His Highness very much, she definitely cannot compete with Sister Zhiyuan.

The little maid is still very aware of her status!

but……

The little maid wrapped herself tightly and sat on the bed, revealing a pair of smart and novel beautiful eyes, glowing with a bit of luster...

Your Highness, should you stay in Sister Zhiyuan's room tonight?

Then, will it happen again tonight...

For a moment, Xiaozhu was ready to make a move again!
Ever since I first awakened to some idea of ​​eavesdropping on the corner, I got out of control. Since then, I have triggered it many times, quietly eavesdropping on the corner in the middle of the night, until the last time...

Xiaozhu couldn't help but recall that the last time he eavesdropped outside the door, he was caught by His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan, and then he was forcibly taken in by His Highness and forced to join...

Impa!

Thinking of this, Xiaozhu's face turned red with embarrassment. He quickly buried his head in the quilt and rolled on the bed.

After a while, those shy eyes emerged from under the quilt again.

Although the last experience made the little maid a little scared, and she secretly vowed never to... eavesdrop again next time!

But when I thought about it tonight, my heart felt vaguely ready to move. There was a strange emotion rising in her heart, which made the little maid couldn't help but tighten the quilt, and her legs couldn't help but rub together.

Her pink face was flushed, and the little maid's heart was filled with confusion. I am a little scared, a little excited, and even vaguely, there is some inexplicable expectation...

Just as the little maid was hiding under the quilt and struggling secretly, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Xiaozhu, are you asleep?"

His Highness's voice suddenly sounded at the door, causing Xiaozhu, who was still immersed in fantasy, to wake up immediately.

He sat up subconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he was instantly embarrassed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?!"

"You, why are you here?"

"Come and see you."

Lin Jiangnian's voice sounded outside the door: "Open the door quickly."

"Oh."

When His Highness asked her to open the door, Xiaozhu hurriedly got out of the quilt, even forgetting to put on her shoes and socks. She stepped barefoot on the ground, trotted to the door, and opened the door.

Outside the door, the moonlight shines.

Lin Jiangnian was standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

"Your Highness, why are you here?!"

Xiaozhu was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but look behind His Highness. Didn’t His Highness go find Sister Zhiyuan? Why do you have time to come to her?

"Come and see you."

As Lin Jiangnian said this, he walked into the room and closed the door.

Turning around, I saw Xiaozhu standing in front of me pretty. A delicate pink jade face, cute and innocent, slightly red, as if smeared with a layer of rouge, but still white and flawless.

Xiaozhu seemed to be planning to take a rest. Her hair was disheveled and slightly messy. She was wearing thin and loose light-colored pajamas. Her snow-white neck and delicate collarbones were vaguely visible.

Extremely cute!

He was so busy coming over to open the door that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes and socks. He stepped on the ground with his bare feet and looked at him with surprise and a little shyness.

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward, took the little maid into his arms, and rubbed her little head.

"Why don't you even wear shoes? Isn't it cold?"

Xiaozhu felt shy and buried his head in Lin Jiangnian's chest, breathing in His Highness's breath greedily.

"not cold."

The sound is crisp and sweet.

"Nonsense, it's so cold outside."

Although spring has begun, the weather in the north is still cold. It was fine during the day, but at night the temperature dropped sharply, and the cold could still be felt in the courtyard.

Although the room was still warm, it was not hot enough to stand on the ground with bare feet.

After all, not everyone can be like that Miss Zhao.

Lin Jiangnian bent down, put his hand through Xiaozhu's legs, and picked her up.

"ah!"

Xiaozhu's face turned slightly red and she gave a slight embarrassment. She subconsciously hugged His Highness's neck with both hands and allowed His Highness to pick her up.

Lin Jiangnian carried Xiaozhu to the bed and gently placed her on the bed. Immediately, he gently wiped and stroked her feet.

"Your Highness, dirty..."

Xiaozhu's body froze when the soles of his feet were touched, and his subconscious tensed up. Immediately afterwards, a blushing emotion emerged.

The room was clean and there was no dust on her feet. But after being touched by His Highness like this, a strange emotion suddenly surged into my heart.

Somewhat sensitive!

She wanted to stop His Highness's movements, but she thought of something and held back. Her little face was flushed, her eyes were a little watery, and she stared at His Highness without blinking.

It wasn't until Lin Jiangnian let go that she shyly took it back and got into the quilt. After rolling around in the quilt, I heard another rustling sound.

Ok?
what is this?
Xiaozhu quietly poked out another pair of eyes from the quilt!

Then, she saw His Highness undressing and wearing a wide band, and then...

Before Xiaozhu could react, Lin Jiangnian had already slipped into the quilt with ease. He hugged Xiaozhu, who was still in a daze, and kissed her heavily on the cheek.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Xiaozhu was stunned. It was not until he realized that His Highness had entered the bed and she had fallen into His Highness's arms at some point that she realized something belatedly.

"You, what are you doing?"

"sleep!"

"Sleep, sleep?!"

Xiaozhu's face turned red with embarrassment, but his eyes were blank and puzzled: "Your Highness, aren't you going to accompany Sister Zhiyuan?"

"how?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at her: "Don't you want His Highness to accompany you?"

"No, no..."

Xiaozhu shook her head quickly. She naturally hoped that His Highness could accompany her. But she also knew that she was just a little maid, how could she compete with Sister Zhiyuan?
At this time, shouldn't His Highness accompany Sister Zhiyuan?

She was thinking of going over later and continuing to listen to the corner...

"Just, just..."

Xiaozhu blushed and stammered, trying to explain.

"Okay, I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'll just stay here with you!"

Lin Jiangnian rubbed Xiaozhu's head and spoke softly.

"Really, really?!"

Although Xiaozhu was surprised when he heard this, his eyes were still bright.

"I've already come in, can I still lie to you?"

Xiaozhu's face turned red and he said nothing.

At a certain moment just now, she even thought that His Highness just wanted a quick victory...

"Then, what about Sister Zhiyuan?"

Xiaozhu quickly thought of something again and said worriedly: "Your Highness, Sister Zhiyuan..."

Xiaozhu was a little worried. Your Highness came to accompany her. Wouldn't Sister Zhiyuan have to stay alone in the empty room?
Will Sister Zhiyuan be angry?
Sensing Xiaozhu's worry, Lin Jiangnian softened her smooth little face and said, "Don't worry, Zhiyuan is not such a narrow-minded person."

Hearing this, Xiaozhu blinked and said nothing.

"what happened?"

"This slave dare not say anything!"

"It's okay, just say it."

"Your Highness, don't tell Sister Zhiyuan?"

"What? Still can't trust your Highness?"

Xiaozhu felt relieved, then blushed, buried his head in Lin Jiangnian's chest, and said softly: "Sister Zhiyuan..."

"I used to be a little bit cautious..."

Xiaozhu's tone was a little aggrieved.

Before Sister Zhiyuan expressed her feelings to His Highness, she, the little maid beside His Highness, had suffered a lot!
I am often bullied by Sister Zhiyuan!
Xiaozhu could still recall the way Sister Zhiyuan looked at her some time ago, which made Xiaozhu shudder. Every day I reflect on what I did wrong and annoyed Sister Zhiyuan...

Lin Jiangnian laughed dumbly. He had heard Xiaozhu mention this before. It seems that the paper kite at that time did have a little bit of it?
"This is no longer the case!"

Lin Jiangnian comforted her: "Zhiyuan is no longer a petty person. Your sister Zhiyuan asked me to come tonight!"

"what?!"

Xiaozhu opened his eyes wide, a little in disbelief: "Zhi, sister Zhiyuan asked your highness to come here?"

"Yup!"

Lin Jiangnian stroked the little maid's head lovingly: "Your sister Zhiyuan was worried that you would be alone in the empty room, so she asked me to come over and enlighten you... Is Zhiyuan good to you?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhu blushed and felt a little ashamed. I just said bad things about Sister Zhiyuan to His Highness, but I didn't expect that Sister Zhiyuan would be... so considerate? !

Xiaozhu felt a little ashamed and buried his head directly into Lin Jiangnian's chest.

"Your Highness...bad..."

"You, you didn't tell me earlier!"

"Uuuu, Xiaozhu, I'm sorry Sister Zhiyuan..."

Xiaozhu's petite body squirmed in Lin Jiangnian's arms, feeling the softness and delicateness of the little maid's delicate body through the thin pajamas.

Lin Jiangnian gently hugged Xiaozhu with one hand, rubbed her scattered hair, and touched the delicate and smooth touch of her face from time to time. The other hand fell on her slender waist, gently stroking it through her pajamas.

And Xiaozhu, who had been playing coquettishly in His Highness's arms for a while, quickly noticed something.

"Your Highness, why is your body so hot..."

Xiaozhu curled up and nestled in His Highness's arms, and soon felt the heat coming from His Highness's body.

It’s getting thicker and thicker!

Xiaozhu knew that His Highness's body was very hot and comfortable. Especially in winter, Xiaozhu likes to sleep with His Highness in his arms. The warmth enveloped her, driving away the cold of winter.

The same was true now. Xiaozhu enjoyed His Highness's familiar and warm breath and felt very relaxed.

It wasn't until she noticed that His Highness's body was getting hotter and hotter that she slowly raised her head with some confusion.

"Because Your Highness is a little hot!"

"hot?"

Xiaozhu was a little surprised. It's not summer yet, why is His Highness so hot?
"Yes!"

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head, came close to Xiaozhu's ear, and whispered softly: "I need Xiaozhu's help to cool down..."

Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Jiangnian. When he saw His Highness's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, Xiaozhu's face suddenly turned red.

She naturally understood the meaning of His Highness’s words!
cool down?

This is normal cooling.

Obviously just want to... use her to cool down!
After being guided step by step by His Highness for so many days and nights, Xiaozhu still didn't understand His Highness's thoughts and ideas? He immediately blushed and buried his head into His Highness's chest again, shyly saying: "Your Highness, you are so bad..."

"Just, I know how to bully Xiaozhu!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled, and the hand that originally landed on Xiaozhu's waist and gently rubbed it gradually moved in.

"what?"

Lin Jiangnian seemed to have discovered some new world: "Xiaozhu, are you not wearing a bellyband?"

Xiaozhu blushed: "My slave is getting ready to sleep, just... take it off!"

Xiaozhu didn't expect that His Highness would come to see her tonight. If she had known earlier...

Maybe, I might even wear less...

Thinking of this, Xiaozhu's face turned redder and redder, and he allowed His Highness to do whatever he wanted to her under the pretext of checking her body. At the same time, the little maid felt His Highness's hot breath and secretly took advantage of His Highness.

When His Highness touched her, Xiaozhu also touched His Highness secretly!

This is called courtesy!
But it was obvious that Xiaozhu was no match for His Highness. I originally wanted to compete evenly with His Highness, but even after so many confrontations, I was still no match for His Highness.

Soon, she showed signs of collapse under His Highness's offensive. Her delicate body curled up, her skin turned red, and she begged for mercy again and again.

The little maid's already delicate face seemed to be smeared with a layer of lotion, making it extra delicate.

Very tender!

So tender that it almost overflows with water.

Especially when blushing and shy, those slightly naughty eyes give people an indescribable impulse.

"Xiaozhu?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice was slightly hoarse and he spoke softly.

"Hmm~"

Xiaozhu, who was breathing rapidly and blushing, looked into his own eyes. Soon, I understood something from His Highness's expectant eyes.

The little maid lowered her head. Biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes were filled with love for His Highness and shyness.

Then, Xiaozhu, who was curled up in Lin Jiangnian's arms, slowly retracted his body under the quilt, accompanied by a rustling sound.

Not long after.

The moist and warm breath lingered around him, and Xiaozhu's voice gradually became hesitant when he spoke.

Serious and well-behaved!
As an obedient personal maid, she concentrates on 'solving problems' for His Royal Highness!
……

Emperor Ning passed away!

The atmosphere in the capital was tense and fell into an atmosphere of sadness.

How much of this sadness is true and how false is unknown!
It is no exaggeration to say that people are panicked!
Everything in the palace was proceeding according to normal procedures. After the news of the emperor's death came out, the palace began to make intensive arrangements for the funeral!

Follow a series of tedious procedures to prepare funeral arrangements for Emperor Ning!

Emperor Ning could be considered a wise king in the first half of his life. He had a very high reputation in the court and in the world, and was respected and loved by many people!

Otherwise, one cannot remain in seclusion for several years and ignore government affairs and still have such a great influence.

When Emperor Ning passed away, many old ministers went to express their condolences, and many even cried to the point of fainting. Some emotionally excited veterans even wanted to commit suicide on the spot and follow the late emperor.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, at least they have the atmosphere right!
According to normal procedures, after the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor must wait until the ceremony is over before the new emperor can ascend the throne.

But most of the time, many successors can’t wait until then!
So is the prince in the palace!
On the third day after the news of Emperor Ning's death came out, surrounded by the admonitions of a group of veterans in the court, Li Cunning, the crown prince and crown prince of the Daning Dynasty, officially succeeded to the throne in front of Emperor Ning's mourning hall!
The name of the country is Taiping, which means peace in the world!

At the same time, it is announced to the world that the new emperor has ascended the throne and will grant amnesty to the world!

The news spread quickly to the whole country through the intelligence agencies of the stations in various counties and counties within the dynasty, and spread all over the world!
At the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the situation in the government was unstable, and the previous early mornings had already made people in the capital panic.

Therefore, after Li Cunning came to the throne, he did not make any drastic changes to the court. He adopted extremely mild methods, and at the same time he granted amnesty to the world and released many criminals involved in the late emperor's reign. Except for death row prisoners and criminals with bad behavior, most criminals with minor crimes received more or less punishment. commutation or release.

On the other side, Li Cining appeased the ministers in the court and won over the influence of the aristocratic families in the central area of ​​Beijing. Place your own trusted personnel in the court to stabilize the court.

In this way, those who were originally worried that the new emperor would continue to kill after he ascended the throne gradually relaxed, and the tense atmosphere that originally permeated the capital gradually dissipated!

The capital, which had been deserted for several days, has returned to its former prosperity. Even the curfew, which had been banned for several days, was gradually opened. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the entire capital became stable.

For most ordinary people, they don't care who the emperor is. As long as the emperor treats them well, they will flock to him.

Obviously, Li Cunning's series of tolerant policies after he ascended the throne have clearly won the hearts of the people. Many people among the people sang and supported him, praising the newly enthroned emperor for having the demeanor of a wise king!

For a time, the new emperor's reputation among the people skyrocketed.

Jiang Mansion, in the courtyard.

Lin Qingqing daily reports to Lin Jiangnian on recent events in Beijing.

Lin Jiangnian has hardly been out these days!
At this juncture of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he, the crown prince, naturally did not join in the fun! However, Lin Jiangnian has always been paying attention to the intelligence news in the palace.

These days, Lin Jiangnian has been arranging backup plans.

He arranged for the Prince's troops around him to stay in the capital and pay close attention to the situation in the capital.

……

"Lin Jiangnian?!"

In the courtyard, a familiar and crisp voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a light green skirt fluttered in the wind, passed by the courtyard, and rushed over excitedly.

It's Xu Lan!

In addition to Xu Lan, she was also accompanied by the personal maid she hadn't seen for a long time... Xiao Lu!
When the Xu family was ransacked that day, Xiaolu was arrested for escorting his young lady. Later, the Xu family was acquitted and Xiao Lu was released safe and sound.

At present, Xu Lan and Xiao Lu, the master and servant, appeared in Jiang Mansion again.

"How did you come?"

Lin Jiangnian looked her over. He hadn't seen Miss Xu for several days since she ran away in shame last time!
"Humph, can't you come?"

Xu Lan came to Lin Jiangnian excitedly, but when she saw Lin Jiangnian's expression and tone, she couldn't help but feel a little arrogant!

Why does he look like he shouldn't be here?
Do you dislike yourself so much?

Xu Lan was angry and a little aggrieved, so she sat next to him angrily.

Stare at him.

"Of course, you are always welcome!"

Lin Jiangnian spoke perfunctorily.

"Humph!"

Xu Lan naturally knew that he was perfunctory and rolled her eyes: "Then you still look like you don't want to see me?"

"Does it upset you that much to see me?"

"how come?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Of course I'm happy to see you!"

"Really?"

"Can it be fake?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "But..."

"But what?"

Xu Lan stared at him and quickly asked nervously.

Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down, and then sighed: "But every time you come in like a storm, I always think that some hero is looking for me to sworn sworn brother..."

Hearing this, Xu Lan was startled, then glanced down subconsciously, then covered her chest with an expression of shame and anger: "You, you are mocking me again?!"

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

"what are you thinking?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her inexplicably: "Did I say anything to you this time?"

"you……"

Xu Lan's face turned red with anger, and she said angrily: "You, isn't that what you mean?!"

"What are you, sworn brothers, you, don't you just want to take the opportunity to mock me?!"

Xu Lan stared at him. "You're too sensitive!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head. He really didn't mean that today. Seeing that Xu Lan's face was getting more and more embarrassed, she spoke to reassure her: "Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to these things. Look at you now, you are actually quite beautiful!"

Hearing Lin Jiangnian suddenly praise her, Xu Lan felt happy, but then she doubted: "Are you serious?"

This guy actually praised her?
Can you believe this?
"Of course it's true!"

Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down: "You are quite beautiful, and you dress well. You are such a beautiful... little girl!"

This is true!
When I first met Xu Lan at Prince Lin's Mansion, Xu Lan was still a complete 'tomboy' at that time! She is obviously a woman, but she likes to dress up as a man, wears a boy's clothes, and behaves in a flashy manner.

You can say that it is some kind of fun for a woman to dress up as a man, but Miss Xu in front of her lacks the most crucial soul of a woman dressing up as a man!
Da Leizi!
Coupled with her fiery personality, it was really hard for Lin Jiangnian to describe.

But Miss Xu obviously listened to the advice and was educated by Lin Jiangnian. When they met again in the capital, Miss Xu took off her men's clothes, put on women's red clothes, and carefully applied rouge.

Not to mention, Lin Jiangnian was really surprised when he saw it for the first time!

But soon, Lin Jiangnian realized another problem!
Although Miss Xu has changed her clothes, she does look like a normal woman. But her character has not changed, she is still fiery and carefree!
This made Lin Jiangnian unable to help but want to befriend her every time he saw her!
Xu Lan blinked her eyes when she heard Lin Jiangnian's praise. She didn't expect that Lin Jiangnian would actually praise her?
For a moment, the shame and anger that had just emerged in my heart were instantly thrown out of the sky. A blush appeared on his face, and his expression became a little shy.

"Huh, this girl is very beautiful!"

Xu Lan muttered softly.

"That's not the case. Miss Xu's beauty is so beautiful that she has captivated the country and the city. She has the appearance of a fish sinking and a bird falling..."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense!"

Xu Lan blushed and interrupted Lin Jiangnian.

Naturally, her appearance was not bad, but she didn't dare to even think about how beautiful she was.

Miss Xu still knows a lot about this.

"Okay, don't just stand there, come and sit."

Lin Jiangnian greeted her.

"You are stupid!"

Xu Lan subconsciously retorted, but she still obediently came and sat down next to Lin Jiangnian.

"What are you doing these days?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

"Stay at home with grandpa and the others..."

Xu Lan spoke in a low voice, blushing, afraid that Lin Jiangnian would ask her why she hadn't come to Jiang Mansion these days.

Why not come?
...This guy knows it well.

"how about you?"

Xu Lan asked back.

"I didn't do much. I ate and slept every day. I ate after sleeping, and was idle in a daze. I also tidied up my things."

"Packing up, tidy up?"

Xu Lan asked doubtfully: "What are you packing?"

"Pack your luggage."

"luggage?"

Xu Lan was stunned: "What are you packing for? Where are you going?"

"go home."

"go home?"

Xu Lan didn't realize what home she was going to.

Isn't this his home?

and many more……

Xu Lan seemed to suddenly realize something, her face changed slightly: "You, you want to go back to Linzhou?"

"Yup!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

Xu Lan was a little surprised: "Why, why are you going back suddenly?"

Return to the palace?

Is this guy going back to Prince Lin's Mansion?

So, what about her?
Could it be that we will never see him again?
This thought came to mind, and Xu Lan's heart immediately tightened.

"The things in Beijing are almost done. It's time to go back after being away from home for so long!"

Lin Jiangnian said.

"Just, is it done?"

Xu Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she felt disappointed.

So fast?

Is this guy going back to Linjiang City again?
But, but...

Xu Lan, who was still excited, suddenly felt depressed.

"When do you plan to go back?"

"almost……"

"That……"

Xu Lan opened her mouth, as if something suddenly occurred to her, a glimmer of hope gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Then...can I go back with you?"

"you?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and seemed to understand something: "You want to go back too?"

"Um...yes, yes..."

Xu Lan nodded: "I, I have been away from home for a long time... I also want to go back and see how my parents are doing..."

"Yes, how about I come with you this time?"

After talking about it, Xu Lan's tone gradually became more confident, and she found a perfect excuse for herself!

She has been away from home for so long, and her parents must miss her very much in Linjiang City. As a good daughter, I must go back to visit my parents!
Is there a problem?

No!

Lin Jiangnian looked at Miss Xu, whose expression and thoughts were all written on her face, and sighed secretly.

Miss Xu’s thoughts are a bit too easy to guess!
Why does she want to go back to Linjiang City?

However, after Lin Jiangnian thought for a while, he pondered and said, "It's not impossible if your grandpa agrees."

After Lin Jiangnian left the capital, it would be difficult to take into account the situation in the capital. Xu Lan would not be safe if he stayed in the capital!

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take her back to Linjiang City!
That old man Xu was under house arrest in Beijing and could not move. But taking Xu Lan back would be no problem for Lin Jiangnian.

In the whole Xu family, only Miss Xu could make Lin Jiangnian fall in love with her. If Xu Lan was not in the capital, she would be the one who could make Lin Jiangnian fall in love with her. At that time, the life and death of the entire Xu family will not pose any threat to Lin Jiangnian.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Xu Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, excited.

accepted?
If you say that, can you go back to Linjiang City with him?

The uneasiness that had just arisen completely disappeared at this moment.

As for grandpa...

Xu Lan is not worried at all!
Grandpa will definitely agree, even if he doesn't agree...she can still sneak out quietly.

No one can stop her anyway!
"Then should I go back and ask my grandpa now?"

Xu Lan was excitedly preparing to go back to talk to her grandfather about this matter.

"Don't be so anxious!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "It will be the same if I ask again later when I go back."

"oh oh."

Xu Lan nodded obediently. She actually didn't want to leave too early.

"It's still early."

Lin Jiangnian raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was still early, so he stretched.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Your Highness."

Lin Kong's figure appeared under the eaves at some point. He came to Lin Jiangnian, leaned closer and said something.

After hearing this, Lin Jiangnian had a look of surprise on his face.

"Are they all there?"

"Exactly!"

"interesting!"

Lin Jiangnian thought about it for a moment, with a playful smile on his face, and nodded: "Go and take a look first!"

"Yes."

After Lin Kong left.

Lin Jiangnian slowly stood up.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing Lin Jiangnian's actions, Xu Lan asked quickly.

"Go out for a walk!"

"I am coming too!"

Xu Lan immediately stood up and said she wanted to go out for a walk. After she came to the capital, she had never taken a good walk around the capital.

Now that I am leaving the capital, I still don’t know what the capital looks like.

"alright."

Lin Jiangnian did not refuse and took Xu Lan outside the hospital.

After walking a few steps, something came to mind: "By the way, do you want to call Xiaolu and the others?"

"Oh... Xiaolu and Xiaozhu have a good relationship. They finally see each other and they definitely don't want to go out... Let's not disturb them, right?"

Lin Jiangnian looked back at Xu Lan and saw that she looked away with a guilty conscience.

He smiled but didn't expose it.

"Alright."

"..."

On the other side, under the eaves, Xiaolu was holding Xiaozhu and saying something. When he noticed something, he turned around and saw that his lady and Prince Lin's figure had disappeared?
Hey, where is the lady?
Where has His Highness gone?

However, Xiaolu didn't take it to heart, and then turned around and looked at Xiaozhu with excitement: "Xiaozhu, you just said... that you were with your highness a few days ago... right?"

Xiaozhu blushed, lowered her head and said nothing: "Sister Xiaolu, don't ask..."

"Oh, don't be shy, tell me, I won't tell anyone..."

"Tell me quickly...can that thing really be eaten by mouth?"

"..."

"Is it tasty?"

"..."

"It's so big, how did you eat it?!"

"..."

Seemingly receiving some affirmative answers, Xiao Lu's voice of surprise came from the corner of the courtyard.

……

Beijing, streets!
Lin Jiangnian and Xu Lan walked on the street, admiring the bustling scene of the capital.

Around the street, shops were shouting and vendors were walking through the streets. The bustling scene of the past reappears!

Xu Lan followed Lin Jiangnian, looking around excitedly. This is the first time she has felt the prosperity of the capital since she came to the capital!
"The capital city is really different from our Linjiang City!"

Xu Lan admired.

Lin Jiangnian asked: "Do you think Beijing or Linjiang City is better?"

"Of course Linjiang City is better."

Xu Lan said without thinking.

"Why?"

"Linjiang City is where I grew up after all!"

Xu Lan said matter-of-factly: "I'm not familiar with the capital, so what does it have to do with me whether it's a nice place or not?"

As he said that, Xu Lan had a slightly nostalgic look on his face: "I want to go back and have a look too!"

"Yo?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Didn't Heroine Xu always find Linjiang City boring before and always wanted to go out and have a try? What? Now start thinking about Linjiang City?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

Xu Lan glared at him, a little annoyed: "Don't think I don't know you are mocking me again!"

When she was in Linjiang City, she really felt that the place where she grew up was boring and uninteresting, and she yearned for the wonderful world outside!
But after taking a trip out, I felt that Linjiang City was better!

Especially after being away from home for so long, I feel homesick for no reason. Although his grandfather and the others are in the capital, Xu Lan still misses the place where he grew up.

as well as……

Speaking of this, Xu Lan quietly glanced at Lin Jiangnian again, her face turning red inexplicably.

Lin Jiangnian didn't seem to notice the change in Xu Lan's reaction, and led Xu Lan walking on the bustling street. At the beginning of the spring season, the weather is getting warmer, and the withered yellow branches on the streets are sprouting new buds. You can also see a touch of spring in the cold north!
As they walked, the two passed through an alley and came to a street that was gradually becoming less crowded.

"Hey, where is this?"

Xu Lan looked around curiously, while Lin Jiangnian's eyes stopped at the door of a restaurant not far ahead.

"Cui Xianju?"

What is this place?
Xu Lan asked doubtfully.

“A great place!”

Lin Jiangnian laughed: "Let's go and see the excitement!"

With that said, he took Xu Lan into the restaurant.

"You two, we don't accept guests here..."

The restaurant owner came out and was about to speak. When his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, his face immediately said: "Lin, His Royal Highness Prince Lin?!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the restaurant manager in front of him and chuckled: "Does the manager still recognize my son?"

The restaurant owner looked respectful and hurriedly stepped forward and said humbly: "That's natural. How come I haven't seen His Highness before?"

"Then here..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the restaurant.

The restaurant owner hurriedly spoke and greeted him respectfully: "Your Highness, go upstairs!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Lead the way."

Immediately, he chose a corner by the window on the second floor to sit down under the personal reception of the restaurant owner.

Along the way, Xu Lan obediently followed Lin Jiangnian. It wasn't until the shopkeeper left that she finally couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is this place?"

"A restaurant!"

"What are we doing at the restaurant?"

"Watch the excitement!"

"lively?"

Xu Lan glanced around blankly, "Where is the excitement?"

"Not urgent!"

Lin Jiangnian looked calmly and glanced at a box not far away.

"here……"

Xu Lan looked around and realized that the restaurant here was not simple. No matter the decoration or furnishings, it doesn't look like an ordinary restaurant.

What's more important is that the restaurant owner actually recognized Lin Jiangnian's identity just now?
How could a small restaurant owner know Prince Lin?
"This is no ordinary restaurant!"

Lin Jiangnian saw Xu Lan's doubts and chuckled.

The restaurant here was the place where Jiang Shaoan had brought him once.

This street is a famous smoke and willow place in Beijing, where countless children from dandy families gather. And this restaurant was favored by these dandy boys in the past.

The previous hotel manager, Lin Jiangnian, I met last time. It was obvious that the other party remembered his appearance and recognized his identity.

To be able to open such a large restaurant in a place like this, the shopkeeper must not be an ordinary person.

"Isn't it ordinary?"

Xu Lan's eyes were blank, and she looked around. The restaurant was indeed not ordinary, but she didn't see anything different?
Just when she was about to ask something else, she suddenly heard a sneer.

"Jiang Shaoan, you actually dare to come here?!"

Immediately afterwards, a stuttering and nervous voice sounded: "Eight, His Highness the Eighth Prince, you, you..."

"I told you last time not to show up in front of me again. It seems like you haven't learned a lesson?!"

"No, no... no, no..."

"..."

The sound immediately attracted Xu Lan's attention. She turned her head and looked not far away.

On the stairs on the second floor of the restaurant, several figures appeared at some point. They were all dressed up as members of noble families, either rich or noble.

The leader was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old!

Wearing a brocade robe and exuding a sense of nobility, he was staring at another young man on the ground with a sneer on his face.

The young man was pitiful, his face full of fear.

"Isn't this Jiang Shaoan?"

Xu Lan took a closer look and quickly recognized that the boy who was being bullied was the eldest young master of the Jiang family... Jiang Shao'an, wasn't he?
At this moment, many people had gathered outside the private room.

The eighth prince, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, stared at Jiang Shaoan in front of him, his heart burning with anger.

"If you hadn't spread false news to this prince last time, how could I have gone to see the third emperor brother?!"

"If I hadn't gone to see Brother Three Emperors, how could I have been implicated... Do you know how I spent this time?"

The eighth prince's face was full of anger and sadness, telling him about his grievances during this period.

The eighth prince never expected that the third prince brother would actually rebel!
When he heard the news, the Eighth Prince was completely stunned! Before he could come to his senses, he was hung up by his mother and concubine and whipped!
The whipping is so cruel!
There was no other reason. Before the third prince rebelled, the eighth prince had gone to see the third prince. Following the failure of the Third Prince's mutiny, the Eighth Prince, who had previously been in contact with the Third Prince, was naturally implicated!
Although it was finally confirmed that the brainless eighth prince was not involved in the third prince's rebellion, the eighth prince still suffered a lot of beatings.

And during this period, we are confined at home and strictly prohibited from going out!

These days of being locked up at home were not easy for the Eighth Prince either... After all, he almost killed his mother and concubine's entire family.

The eighth prince felt wronged and angry. During this period of time, his life was extremely miserable. After thinking about it, he finally found the culprit...Jiang Shaoan!

If Jiang Shaoan hadn't suddenly come to give him some information, how could he have gone to see the Third Emperor Brother in such excitement?

How could he suffer such a severe beating?
Ever since, after being released, the eighth prince unexpectedly ran into Jiang Shaoan in Cuixianju.

All of a sudden, old and new hatreds, and the grievances I had suffered these past few days came to my mind!

The Eighth Prince has finally found a place to vent his anger!
