son, don't mess around

Chapter 454 The Active Princess
"Princess."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the cold figure in front of the dressing table, and saw a beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror.

It’s incredibly beautiful, and also incredibly cold!

Inside the bronze mirror, the pair of beautiful eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian through the mirror, and they looked at each other from a distance.

At this moment, everything is speechless.

The eldest princess, whose temperament was always cold and detached, just looked at him calmly.

His expression was calm.

But for some reason, Lin Jiangnian had an illusion. When he met the eldest princess' eyes, he saw a hint of brightness in her eyes.

There seems to be some emotional fluctuations.

When I looked carefully, there was nothing.

Is it an illusion?

The eldest princess in front of the dressing table slowly turned around and looked at Lin Jiangnian.

She wore a plain white long skirt with a slender lower part, similar to a horse-faced skirt, with faint light-colored floral embroidery on the edge, and a light-colored double-breasted long skirt on the upper body. Such a light white outfit made her already cold temperament even more cold and beautiful.

It seemed that she had just gotten up and had not yet finished dressing up. Her dark black hair was hanging down casually and her hair was smooth. Compared with the past, her temperament had a few more indescribable flavors.

It was still the same cold face, but the eldest princess with her hair combed and with her hair loose seemed like two different people.

There is an indescribable lazy temperament.

"I didn't expect to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess here!"

Lin Jiang spoke with a smile, breaking the silence in the room.

Li Piaomiao stared at Lin Jiangnian for a while, then asked, "Why don't you say it?"

"what?"

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth tentatively, and a vague answer came to his mind.

Li Piaomiao looked at him quietly and said calmly: "Go back to Linzhou."

Sure enough.

Lin Jiangnian understood what was going on, and when he saw Li Piaomiao's reaction, he had the inexplicable illusion that he was being held accountable.

"Of course, there is a reason for everything."

Lin Jiang sighed and made up a universal excuse: "Something happened in Prince Lin's mansion. The prince was framed and assassinated... I was in a hurry to go back and didn't have time to say goodbye to the princess..."

"Please forgive me, Princess!"

Listen, what a perfect excuse.

As expected, when Lin Jiangnian gave this reason, the eldest princess was obviously silent.

It seems like I don't know what to say anymore.

After a while, Li Piaomiao suddenly turned his head and said, "An Ning, you go out first."

An Ning, who had been standing aside in a daze, silently listening to the conversation between the princess and the prince, was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Lin Jiangnian, then turned her head to look at her own princess. She didn't know what she was thinking of, nodded, and silently left the room with the sword in her arms.

He stepped out of the room and closed the door considerately.

"boom."

As the door was gently closed, the light in the inn room became dim.

Lin Jiangnian and the eldest princess were left alone in the room.

Lin Jiangnian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he roughly guessed the eldest princess's purpose.

Can……

It was broad daylight, a man and a single woman were in the same room, and it was the princess who took the initiative, which felt a bit weird.

especially……

Since when did this eldest princess seem to be getting more and more beautiful in Lin Jiangnian's eyes?
...That’s not the case!
After all, when Lin Jiangnian first met Li Piaomiao, he knew that she was very beautiful.

This woman may have many shortcomings, but most of them come from within, from her character.

In terms of appearance, this eldest princess has almost no shortcomings!

However, Lin Jiangnian was not impressed by the eldest princess’ cold personality before, and the two of them did not have much contact, so he did not have any feelings for her.

But now, as the two of them came into contact more and more and became more familiar with each other, Lin Jiangnian gradually understood the princess's inner thoughts... although he still had no idea.

But I have to admit that this princess is very beautiful!

She is so beautiful that she can occasionally shake Lin Jiangnian’s already unsteady belief!

After all, who doesn’t like beautiful things?
What’s more, she is such a beauty?

Lin Jiangnian suddenly understood why Zhao Xi fell in love with him!

With a slight sigh in his heart, Lin Jiangnian looked at the princess who was still calm in front of him and asked tentatively: "Princess?"

The princess didn't say anything. She still sat in front of the dressing table, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Lin Jiangnian. There was no emotion on her cold face, cold and beautiful.

On that beautiful face, the fair skin was flawless and as smooth as jade. As she raised her head slightly, the curve of her delicate chin could be vaguely seen.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

After a while, the eldest princess suddenly stretched out a hand towards him.

Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned.

He stared blankly at the white jade hand in front of him. Under the white sleeve, a snow-white wrist was revealed. The skin was so white that it was dazzling.

The jade palm is thin and light, with veins faintly visible in the palm, and the ten fingers are slender and long, as smooth as exquisite jade, without any flaws.

What a beautiful hand!

It is difficult for people to have any evil thoughts.

Lin Jiangnian stared at the snow-white hand in front of him, his eyes falling on Li Piaomiao's beautiful and cold face.

She was looking at him calmly.

He didn't say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything.

For some reason, Lin Jiangnian's heart suddenly jumped at this moment.

There is an indescribable emotional impulse.

but……

He calmed down quickly.

He took a light step forward, stretched out his hand, and held the slender jade hand.

The palm is delicate and soft, as smooth as nephrite.

It's also very cold!
Like an ice cube in the cold winter, it is so cold that it makes people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.

When Lin Jiangnian held her hand, the eldest princess remained calm and looked at him calmly.

only……

When the familiar hot breath spread along the palm of her hand, the always cold and unparalleled eldest princess blinked her cold eyes slightly.

Lower your eyes.

As if he had inadvertently avoided Lin Jiangnian's gaze.

……

Outside.

door of the room.

An Ning held a sword in his arms, standing at the door with an expressionless face, like a cold statue.

It’s daunting.

Inside the inn, guests got up in twos and threes. When they saw such a beautiful woman appearing outside the corridor, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Some people had other ideas after seeing An Ning, but when they saw the silver sword in the arms of this cold girl, they quickly gave up the idea.

He is a big shot and we cannot afford to offend him.

An Ning was concentrating on her duties, guarding the door diligently. Except for the occasional moment when her eyes would fall into the room behind her, she would be lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Until not long after, Jinxiu came back.

"Where are the princess and his highness?"

Jinxiu came to the door of the room and saw An Ning standing at the door. Her eyes fell on the closed door and she realized something.

"The princess and His Royal Highness are in the room?"

Jinxiu guessed that... His Highness must be "treating" his own princess.

Several days have passed since the last time His Highness treated the princess. Without the help of His Highness the Crown Prince, the coldness in the princess' body has gradually gotten out of control again.

Jinxiu watched helplessly as her princess transformed from a normal person into that beautiful fairy emitting a chill!

This also made Jinxiu suddenly realize that her own princess seemed to be somewhat inseparable from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
I was originally worried about what would happen to my princess' health if I didn't meet the Crown Prince on my way back to Linzhou. Now that I met him halfway, it was a pleasant surprise. In this way, I don't have to worry too much about the last hidden danger of the princess.

The princess must not be disturbed during her "treatment", so Jinxiu didn't ask any more questions and stayed outside the door with An Ning.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Next to him, An Ning was still standing there quietly, straight.

She is not good at speaking and rarely communicates with others. She is used to being alone in silence.

But today, I inexplicably feel like something is wrong?

After a long silence, An Ning turned her head slightly to look at Jinxiu beside her, but saw that Jinxiu was lowering her head, her eyes were a little dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

An Ning realized something belatedly... Although she was used to being silent on weekdays, Jinxiu was different.

Jinxiu is an extrovert and likes to contradict her. When the two are together, either Jinxiu finds fault with her or she keeps chattering about something in her heart.

But today, Jinxiu was unusually silent!
A bit abnormal!

As twin sisters, although they have completely different personalities, in some aspects, they can still feel each other's emotions.

Is this what is called...telepathy?
At this moment, An Ning noticed that Jinxiu was a little strange.

The mood is not right.

Seems a little...depressed?
She looked at Jinxiu once, then again, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Finally, after a while, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Jinxiu's voice sounded a little weak.

Not very interested.

An Ning didn't say anything else, but she felt more and more that something was wrong with Jinxiu.

Something must be wrong!

However, she did not ask any more questions.

After a while, Jinxiu sighed deeply.

He restrained his emotions, turned his head to look at An Ning, and said with a slightly serious expression: "I have something very important to tell you."

An Ning looked at her and said nothing.

"let me tell you……"

Jinxiu turned her head and glanced at the tightly closed room, and lowered her voice slightly: "You must stay away from His Highness, and don't let him target you. You must not be fooled by his sweet words and sugar-coated bullets..."

"He is a complete pervert, a playboy, and he only wants your body..."

An Ning had a blank expression and said nothing.

"I'm talking to you, are you listening to me?"

Seeing that An Ning didn't respond, Jinxiu felt a little unhappy.

"Listen."

An Ning spoke.

"That's good."

Jinxiu finally felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction: "He must have bad intentions towards you, so you must stay away from him in the future..."

Jinxiu was still chattering on, trying to make An Ning see the true nature of the pervert that was Prince Lin.

An Ning, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly asked, "What about you?"

Jinxiu was stunned, her eyes blank: "Me? What's wrong with me?"

An Ning glanced at the room behind her and said expressionlessly, "Why don't you stay away from His Highness?"

This question stumped Jinxiu.

"Of course I will stay away from him..."

Jinxiu's eyes were a little evasive.

"Oh."

An Ning nodded, still looking at her.

"You, what's with that look in your eyes? Don't you believe me?!"

As if she had been seen through, Jinxiu felt guilty and said angrily, "Everything I said was for your own good. I'm your sister, how can I lie to you?"

Jinxiu acted like an older sister.

An Ning retorted: "I am the older sister."

"Nonsense, I was born before you, so I am the older sister!"

"Good morning!"

"I'm more mature than you. I'm your older sister!"

"..."

"My breasts are bigger than yours, and they developed earlier than you, so I am the older sister!"

"..."

An Ning stopped talking.

His eyes fell on Jinxiu's chest, then he looked down at himself and fell silent.

After a while, he spoke again expressionlessly: "Shameless."

"Just tell me if it's true or not. Only younger sisters can't compare to older sisters. I'm the older sister. I was born earlier than you, so naturally I developed faster than you!"

An Ning opened her mouth and wanted to say something in rebuttal.

But what Jinxiu said sounded extremely vulgar and shameful to An Ning.

In the end, she didn't say a word.

Turn your head away and ignore her.

The little face became even tighter!

Seeing that An Ning couldn't win the argument, Jinxiu became complacent as if she had won a great victory. She snorted twice, and her originally depressed mood improved a lot.

Just as I was about to say something else, I caught a glimpse of two figures suddenly appearing in the corridor not far away.

Jinxiu's mood, which had just improved, disappeared immediately.

Two figures appeared in the corridor not far away. They were Xu Lan and Xiaolu.

……

On the other side, Xiaolu pulled her young lady back to the room and asked her a lot of questions.

Xiaolu was very sorry to learn that her young lady failed to win over His Highness last night. Especially after learning that her young lady was so useless that she secretly kissed His Highness last night, Xiaolu became even more anxious!

Why are you so cowardly, miss?

Stealing kiss?

Why don't you let His Highness know?
Isn't this just being taken advantage of and making no progress?
What a big loss!

Can't you just force a kiss openly?
They were sleeping in the same room, couldn't my lady be brave for once and climb directly onto His Highness's bed and press him down...

Is it time to make the rice a fait accompli?

Xiaolu just didn't believe it. With her own lady's appearance and temperament, she took the initiative to take off all her clothes and get into His Highness's bed. She didn't believe that His Highness would not be tempted!
Why can't you be braver, young lady?

Just be more proactive, isn't that enough?

Xiaolu, who was worried about her young lady, was extremely anxious!
Xu Lan blushed as she listened to Xiaolu's description of these "bold" actions. Although she was bold, she was still a girl after all, and she still had some girlish reserve. How could she do such a bad idea as Xiaolu had come up with, and do such... shameless behavior?

But after hearing Xiaolu's analysis, she felt a little regretful.

I began to reflect... Was I really too timid last night?

Should I really... get into bed?!
Thinking of this, Xu Lan's face was slightly hot, and she couldn't help feeling shy. But in her heart, she inexplicably felt an impulse of excitement...

While he was struggling, Xu Lan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where are Lin Jiangnian and his family?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen it."

Xiaolu shook her head. She hadn't seen the Crown Prince this morning.

Thinking of this, Xu Lan's expression changed slightly.

Didn't that guy run away secretly?
Thinking of the incredibly beautiful girl he met at Lin Jiangnian's door just now, Xu Lan felt uneasy and a sense of crisis emerged.

She couldn't sit still any longer, so she hurriedly pulled Xiaolu out.
