son, don't mess around

The appearance of the princess did disrupt Lin Jiangnian's plans, and also delayed his journey back to Linzhou.

According to Lin Jiangnian's original plan, he did not intend to take the official road, but to keep a low profile and hide his identity by following the small path to leave Zhongzhou.

After arriving in Yanzhou, we will take the official road southward and return to Linzhou as soon as possible. When we arrive in Linzhou, someone will pick us up, and everything will be settled.

Before this, Lin Jiangnian didn't intend to attract anyone's attention.

But with the sudden appearance of the eldest princess, his plans had to change.

For example...the trail should be unaccessible!
Since we have met and our destination is the same, it is naturally impossible for us to continue to act separately.

But the problem is that unlike Lin Jiangnian who acted low-key, the eldest princess did not hide anything about her whereabouts when she left the capital and headed south.

Now that they have met, Lin Jiangnian’s whereabouts may not be hidden for long.

Exposure is only a matter of time.

In this case, taking the small path seems a bit redundant.

On the other hand, Lin Jiangnian's previous plan was to avoid any further trouble, as he was worried about encountering unknown dangers on the way back, so he adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile.

But now that he has the eldest princess, a master who is at the level of a quasi-first-grade grandmaster, by his side, the danger of continuing to travel south will be greatly reduced.

Whether it is her identity as the eldest princess or her skills, they are enough to intimidate ordinary villains.

This makes Lin Jiangnian feel very safe.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, everyone took a short rest in the inn and decided to take the official road and continue their journey south back to Linzhou.

……

The sudden appearance of several stunningly beautiful women in such a small town naturally caused quite a stir.

However, those who were originally uneasy suppressed their restless emotions when they caught a glimpse of the sharp sword in the arms of the light-dressed girl.

The most important thing for people who travel the world is to act according to the cues given by others. People who pick trouble without thinking rarely live long.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these stunningly beautiful women in the inn had extraordinary origins.

How can there be any weak woman roaming the world?
What’s more, it is so open and aboveboard?
In this way, naturally no one would dare to cause trouble.

Of course, there are also some people with different thoughts who try to come up and chat with others.

However, before they could get close, they were stopped by Lin Qingqing and the guards in secret.

Inn, in the lobby.

Behind the counter, the shopkeeper saw the stunning twin sisters who appeared last night, and at the same time he secretly wondered the identity and origin of the woman in white next to them.
This pair of beauties can be described as stunningly stunning. Both their looks and temperament are rare in the world. They are truly first-rate beauties.

But their white-dressed master had a better temperament. Although the shopkeeper didn't see her appearance, the glimpse he got last night and her cold and elegant aura were enough to scare people away.

In this way, he no longer just looks like someone from an ordinary family, but more like...

The shopkeeper dared not slack off when it came to such an important figure, and entertained him with great care, while at the same time becoming increasingly suspicious.

At this time, the shopkeeper saw a young figure walking down from upstairs.

It was another distinguished guest who came yesterday!
Judging from his appearance and clothing, he did not look like an ordinary person. He was accompanied by a young lady from a wealthy family with extraordinary looks and temperament, as well as a maid and a female guard... It looked like a young man from a noble family was going on an outing with his beautiful lady.

The young men and women from these wealthy families just have the leisure and elegance to enjoy themselves.

Looking at the appearance of the young man, he is a good match for the young lady. However, although the young lady's appearance and temperament are stunning, she still seems to be far behind the woman in white...

In such a comparison, the gap is obvious.

This also made the shopkeeper more certain that the woman in white was definitely not from an ordinary family.

Just that cold temperament was enough to make people dare not look directly at her and keep people at a distance. Her aura made it so that no one dared to raise their heads in front of her.

Just as the shopkeeper was sighing, he saw the young man in his sight coming down from upstairs and walking straight to the door of the inn, next to the stunning pair of girls.

Then, among the two beautiful ladies, the one in the gorgeous long dress showed a sweet and gentle smile on her face and looked at the young man.

Even the sword-holding girl next to her had always been cold and murderous.

However, when she saw this young man, she seemed a little shy and lowered her head slightly.

Inside the inn, the innkeeper was stunned when he saw this scene.

what's the situation?
Recognize, know?

Then, something even more shocking happened to the shopkeeper.

Through the door of the inn, he saw the handsome and elegant young man in his sight. After greeting the stunning pair of girls at the door, he walked to a carriage parked outside the inn.

Then, got on the carriage!
If the shopkeeper remembered correctly, that carriage... was the one that the woman in white was riding in.

And the woman in white got on the carriage not long ago...

The shopkeeper's eyes were slightly dazed.

This……

What is the origin of this person?
The shopkeeper stared at the scene in a daze, an expression of incredible shock gradually emerging in his eyes.

……

After a short rest, everyone set out on their journey south again.

Two carriages slowly left the inn, left Qiuye Town, and headed south on the official road.

And just half a day after everyone left, in the evening, night fell.

Inside the inn, the innkeeper was still dozing off against the counter. He was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the inn.

"Guest officer?"

The shopkeeper was startled and subconsciously raised his head, then he saw several dusty figures walking in from outside the inn.

These people have a restrained aura and are clearly masters of outstanding martial arts skills.

The leader walked to the counter, took out a portrait from his arms, and placed it in front of the shopkeeper: "Have you seen this person?"

The shopkeeper's eyes fell on the portrait and his pupils shrank slightly.

Isn’t this the young man we saw today in this portrait?

What do you want to do with these people in front of you?
The shopkeeper was slightly shocked when he saw these people who were filled with murderous aura and aggressiveness.

I'm afraid he has bad intentions!

……

At the same time, Lin Jiangnian and others appeared on the official road heading south.

Compared to the ruggedness of the small road, the official road was obviously much smoother and smoother. In addition, the appearance of the princess and her group also slowed down the original return journey.

This was a pleasant surprise for Xu Lan and Xiao Lu.

I originally thought that I would have to go through another bumpy, painful and boring journey, but I didn't expect the unexpected surprise to come so suddenly.

Although the schedule was still tight and the journey was still boring, it was much better than the experience of the previous few days.

In addition, they had a good rest in the inn last night and regained much of their energy. Therefore, when they continued on their journey, the master and servant became full of energy again.

The two of them huddled in the carriage, chattering among themselves about something. Xu Lan's face turned red from time to time, and she furtively glanced at Lin Jiangnian who was sitting on the other side.

He lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking, in a complex and tangled state of mind that was hard to describe.

Girls’ feelings are always poetry!
"Oh, it's so boring!"

Just as the master and servant chattered for a while, Xiaolu suddenly spoke up and muttered, "I'm going out to get some fresh air!"

As she spoke, Xiaolu stood up, lifted the car curtain and walked out.

Outside the carriage curtain, Lin Qingqing was driving the carriage attentively. When she saw Xiaolu suddenly come out, she turned her head and looked at her.

"Sister Qingqing, can I sit here for a while?" Xiaolu smiled sweetly at Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing looked her up and down, then glanced into the carriage behind her and understood.

"can."

"Thank you Sister Qingqing!"

Xiaolu smiled sweetly again.

As Xiaolu walked out of the carriage, Lin Jiangnian and Xu Lan were left alone in the carriage.

The carriage was driving on the wide and flat official road, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was dull. Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Xu Lan who was sitting opposite him.

At this moment, Miss Xu was lowering her head slightly, with a faint blush on her face. Her hands were intertwined under her sleeves, with her fingers entangled, as if she was a little confused and uneasy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but laugh. He glanced outside the carriage and couldn't help but ask, "What tricks are you going to play?"

Hearing this, Xu Lan raised her head slightly and retorted dissatisfiedly: "No tricks." Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "Do you have anything to say?"

Xu Lan nodded, then shook her head.

His face was slightly red and he looked uneasy.

"Should I tell you or not?"

"explain……"

"Then go ahead and I'll listen."

"do not know what to say……"

"..."

At the same time, in another carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, and through it, Jinxiu's eyes fell on the carriage behind.

When Jinxiu saw Lin Qingqing and the maid named Xiaolu sitting outside the carriage, she was slightly startled.

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Why is Xiaolu outside?

Doesn't that mean...

Is the Xu Lan in the carriage alone with His Highness?

Jinxiu immediately realized something... this maid named Xiaolu was probably creating opportunities for her mistress.

How despicable!
Thinking of this, Jinxiu felt a little unspeakable resentment in her heart.

A bit congested.

A little uncomfortable.

Inside the carriage, there was silence.

Li Piaomiao, who was sitting aside with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Jinxiu, seeming to notice that she was not in a very good mood.

"how?"

"No, it's okay..."

Jinxiu shook her head.

Li Piaomiao looked at her quietly, as if she realized something, but she didn't say anything else.

There were only two people in the carriage.

Outside the carriage, An Ning, dressed in light-colored tights, was driving the carriage with the same concentration.

"Princess?"

After a while, Jinxiu couldn't help but speak suddenly.

Li Piaomiao raised her eyes slightly and looked at her.

"Princess, you really..."

Jinxiu hesitated, but couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not going to marry His Highness?"

She had asked this question before, and the princess gave the same answer.

Don’t marry!

But now, the situation is completely different from before.

The contact between the princess and His Royal Highness became more and more frequent. Jinxiu could feel that the princess' attitude towards His Royal Highness had changed.

It’s no longer as strange and unfamiliar as before!

More importantly, there is now a bond between the princess and His Highness.

The cold that had been troubling the princess's life was suppressed by His Royal Highness. Before finding a better solution, the only way was to let His Royal Highness continue to "treat" the princess.

In this way, the bond between the princess and the crown prince will be stronger.

On the other hand, in a sense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now indebted to his own princess for saving her life.

According to the plots in those folk love novels, the grace of saving a life must be repaid with one's body? !

What's more, our princess is already engaged to His Highness, so wouldn't this be a natural and easy thing to do?

When His Highness was "treating" his own princess, they were alone in the same room, and it was even said that there was physical contact... What if they developed feelings for each other?
wrong……

Jinxiu understood it in her heart!

There will definitely be feelings.

Her own princess might not be interested in him, but based on Jinxiu's understanding of the prince's lustfulness, he would definitely be interested in her own princess.

If so...

This time, the princess nominally said she was going to Ruyi Tower in Lin Wang Mansion. Once she entered the gate of Lin Wang Mansion, would she naturally become a member of Lin Wang Mansion?

When Li Piaomiao heard Jinxiu's sudden question, his expression remained unchanged. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her.

Then, he said calmly: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"curious!"

Jinxiu answered honestly. She looked at her own princess and said, "The relationship between the princess and His Highness is a little unusual..."

Li Piaomiao remained silent but did not deny it.

Seeing this, Jinxiu sighed: "I feel that Princess, you...may really like His Highness."

"Princess, are you right?"

Li Piaomiao did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he shook his head lightly: "No."

"Princess, you hesitated."

Jinxiu, however, saw through it clearly: "In the past, the princess would never hesitate."

Hearing this, Li Piaomiao was slightly stunned and seemed to be thinking about something.

Didn't seem to realize this.

Did she really hesitate?

"besides……"

Jinxiu pointed to the carriage behind her and said, "That girl named Xu Lan has bad intentions towards Your Highness..."

"She wants to steal your man from you, Princess!"

"..."

In the carriage behind.

Lin Jiangnian looked at Miss Xu in front of him speechlessly.

He could guess that Xu Lan wanted to say something to him, but she was obviously hesitant and couldn't say anything.

Especially after what happened last night, Miss Xu always felt a sense of guilt when facing Lin Jiangnian.

After all, I did something wrong!
Fortunately, she thought Lin Jiangnian didn't know, otherwise she would have been ashamed and wanted to commit suicide.

Lin Jiangnian also wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her, but now was obviously not the time.

There were two people listening outside the carriage, so it was not appropriate to talk about serious matters.

I can only plan to find a chance to have a good chat with her when I take a break on the way.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking about it, the carriage in front suddenly stopped.

Xu Lan was not sitting firmly in the carriage and was almost thrown out, falling into Lin Jiangnian's arms.

Xu Lan's face immediately turned red, and she got up nervously and embarrassedly.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look outside the car curtain. Why did the car stop suddenly?

"Your Highness, there is someone in front of you!"

Outside the carriage, Lin Qingqing's slightly solemn and low voice was heard.
