son, don't mess around

Jinxiu never thought that His Highness would be so bold with the princess and An Ning present.

He, he actually...

In front of the princess, he touched her under the table?!
When she felt the hot touch on her thigh, Jinxiu's body trembled. Her expression froze, as if she was cast under a spell and dared not move.

The sudden attack made her a little panicked.

This is in front of the princess!
The princess is sitting next to me...

Jinxiu turned around and glared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely, her eyes full of panic and shame. She tried to warn His Highness not to mess around.

However, Lin Jiangnian seemed not to notice her gaze and still had a faint smile on his face.

but……

Under the table, the hand covering Jinxiu's thigh was pressed against her thigh through the fabric of Jinxiu's skirt, gently stroking it.

The action was neither light nor heavy, like teasing, but also like deliberately teasing...

Jinxiu's delicate body became even stiffer!
His whole body was tense, not daring to move.

She bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head slightly, and tried her best to hide her emotions. She forced herself to be calm, fearing that any movement or sound would attract the attention of the princess next to her.

However, her submissive reaction made Lin Jiangnian even bolder, and he felt the smooth touch of her legs through the fabric. As if it was not enough, he slowly moved up...

At this moment, Jinxiu was completely panicked!

The princess was right next to them, and Jinxiu was already panicked and guilty about the fact that his highness had secretly bullied her behind the princess's back. However, she did not expect that his highness would become even more aggressive.

He, is he really not afraid of being discovered by the princess?
This bastard is so bold!
Under the table, Jinxiu's delicate body trembled slightly, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore. If she was discovered... she would have no face to live!

She secretly glared at Lin Jiangnian with a warning in her eyes, and reached under the table to stop Lin Jiangnian's invasion. After seeing that it was fruitless, Jinxiu felt embarrassed and anxious, and couldn't help but raise her foot and stepped on him twice.

"Ok?"

The two feet made a slight sound, attracting the attention of An Ning who was standing nearby.

She was eating slowly and chewing her food with her head down. Like a princess, she ate slowly and gently. When she heard the voice, she looked up, first at Lin Jiangnian, and then at Jinxiu.

Soon, she noticed that Jinxiu seemed a little unnatural.

His face was inexplicably flushed.

"What’s wrong with you?"

An Ning frowned her beautiful brows.

This question made Jinxiu, who was already extremely nervous, shiver. Her movements froze, and her remaining rationality made her suppress her shyness and the strange feeling coming from the big hand on her leg: "I'm fine."

As she spoke, Jinxiu turned her head and looked at Lin Jiangnian.

This time, there was no threat in his eyes. Instead, there was only anxiety, shame, and a bit of pitiful pleading.

Yes, she begged for mercy!
If you don't beg for mercy, His Highness might do something even more outrageous...

Jinxiu was scared!

She looked at Lin Jiangnian pitifully, her eyes full of pleading and shame.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian was finally satisfied and stopped bullying her. He gave Jinxiu a meaningful smile and withdrew his hand.

The strange, hot feeling that had been invading her legs disappeared, and Jinxiu felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

She adjusted her breathing and saw Lin Jiangnian looking at her with a meaningful smile. She felt ashamed and annoyed. She simply looked away and stopped looking at this bad guy who liked to bully others.

Gnashing her teeth in hatred, Jinxiu suddenly realized that she seemed to have been completely taken advantage of by His Highness. Thinking of this, she felt even more strange and had mixed emotions.

An Ning, who was standing aside, tilted her head slightly, looked at His Highness, then looked at Jinxiu, with a look of great doubt in her small eyes.

I always feel that something is wrong!
What happened?
Looking left and right, in the end, An Ning could see nothing.

Just as she was looking carefully and attentively, she suddenly met Lin Jiangnian's gaze.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Jiangnian smiled warmly at her.

An Ning seemed to be startled, and quickly looked away and lowered her head in panic.

Very nervous.

Li Piaomiao, who was wearing snow-white clothes, had an outstanding temperament, a cold face, and lowered her head to eat.

Her eyes were calm, showing no emotion at all.

From beginning to end, there was no response.

As if he didn't notice anything unusual!
……

After breakfast, everyone took a rest and prepared to continue on their journey.

More than a dozen cavalrymen in black armor appeared outside the inn in an orderly manner, causing a commotion in the city.

But there was silence all around the inn.

No one dared to disturb.

Last night, before Lin Jiangnian and his companions arrived in the city, the governor in the city had already received the news. He dispatched officers and soldiers from the city to escort them, and at the same time strictly prohibited any scoundrels from disturbing the peace of His Royal Highness.

Wu Yue's face was stern, and he looked towards the inn. Two figures slowly walked out of the inn.

The Prince of Lin, dressed in a blue brocade robe, is still as elegant as ever.

That young face made Wu Yue feel as if he saw the shadow of the prince when he was young.

And the one beside His Royal Highness...

The cold figure in a white long dress seemed out of tune with the world, and her cool and elegant temperament gave people a sense of unreality.

Princess Daning!
Li Piaomiao!
Just as Wu Yue raised his eyes to look around, the cool figure in white also raised his eyes, and his cold eyes fell on Wu Yue.

Eye to eye.

In an instant, Wu Yue's heart trembled violently, and the mental method in his body seemed to be running out of control. He breathed rapidly and almost stumbled. He quickly calmed his mind and calmed the disordered internal force in his body.

When he looked up again, his eyes were full of horror and fear.

A little more terrifying!

I have long heard that this princess is a martial arts prodigy of the time, with unfathomable martial arts skills. But without seeing it with my own eyes, it is difficult to experience such horrible oppression firsthand.

At that moment just now, Wu Yue felt a crushing and terrifying aura from the eyes of the eldest princess!

Wu Yue had only felt this kind of aura from the prince!
How old is this Princess Daning now?

Her aura can actually be compared to that of the prince? !

Wu Yue was shocked and became more alert.

At that moment just now, he clearly felt that the eldest princess did it on purpose... Was she demonstrating to him?
……

At the same time, Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao walked out of the inn and came to the carriage that had been prepared outside the inn.

"What's up with him?"

Lin Jiangnian noticed the change in Wu Yue's eyes and turned to look at Li Piaomiao.

At that moment, he clearly felt the change in the aura of the princess beside him. Thinking about Wu Yue's reaction, he vaguely guessed something.

The eldest princess glanced at him and said calmly: "This person is not convinced by you?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and said, "Isn't this normal?"

"How can a great general with great military achievements look down upon a dandy prince like me who just eats and waits for death?"

Li Piaomiao stared at him for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and did not refute. He stood up and got on the carriage.

Lin Jiangnian's face was left with a slightly stiff expression. No... he was just being modest. Could it be that she really agreed with it?
"Hehe, your highness, the dandy prince~"

I heard Jinxiu's crisp and teasing laughter.

Looking back, he saw Jinxiu and An Ning standing on the other side of the carriage. Jinxiu's face was flushed, and there was still a hint of shame in her beautiful eyes. She did not hide her gloating smile on her face at all.

Very presumptuous!
Lin Jiangnian suddenly discovered that Jinxiu seemed to be more unbridled in front of her than before! She might have been worried that Lin Jiangnian would take advantage of her before, but since Lin Jiangnian succeeded, Jinxiu seemed to be certain that Lin Jiangnian would not dare to do anything to her, and she became unscrupulous.

Especially with An Ning by her side, she feels even more confident!
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said slowly, "Do you know what a qualified dude is best at?"

"what?"

"Bullying men and women, molesting decent women, and ruining decent girls!"

Lin Jiangnian said viciously: "I will ruin you tonight!"

After hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, Jinxiu's smile froze and she looked embarrassed and annoyed. She could tell what Lin Jiangnian was hinting at. Tonight?

He still wants to come?

"You... dirty!"

Jinxiu blushed, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Don't even think about it, if you dare to do anything, I, I will let... An Ning teach you a lesson!"

An Ning was stunned. She didn't expect that Jinxiu would drag her out to block the knife again.

However, Lin Jiangnian was not afraid at all. He looked around at the twin sisters in front of him and said, "That's perfect. I'll ruin An Ning too. You two sisters will..."

An Ning was stunned, and then her face turned red instantly.

A hint of bright red appeared on the girl's fair and tender face, as if she had been painted with a layer of bright red rouge. She quickly lowered her head and subconsciously wanted to run away.

"you dare?!"

Jinxiu, who was originally feeling shy, trembled suddenly and looked alert when she heard these words.

Subconsciously pulling An Ning behind her, she stared at Lin Jiangnian with her beautiful eyes and said angrily: "You, you are not allowed to..."

"You, you dare to attack An Ning, I, I..."

Jinxiu panicked!

I was extremely nervous. His Highness' words...

Is it a joke or a deliberate test?

Does he really still care about An Ning?

No!

He has already ruined himself, how could he still harm An Ning?
No, no, no!

Just when she was about to warn and threaten this guy, Jinxiu quickly realized that her threats... had no killing power at all!

What should she do if His Highness really sets his sights on An Ning?
Threat?

It doesn't work!
How could she, a mere maid, threaten Prince Lin?

Or... be angry and ignore him again?

Don't let him touch me again?
...This is an idea, but Jinxiu quickly rejected it!
If I don’t let His Highness touch me, what if he goes to find An Ning?
What if Your Highness has that... thought coming to his mind? What should we do then?
Lin Jiangnian's words immediately made Jinxiu feel as if she was facing a formidable enemy, and she became extremely anxious and uneasy.

"You, if you dare to bully An Ning..."

Jinxiu stared at Lin Jiangnian, her tone tense, gritting her teeth and threatening: "I, I will never talk to you again."

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Then it depends on Miss Jinxiu's performance."

means something.

Jinxiu's delicate body trembled, her face flushed with shame, and her breathing became rapid.

Your Highness, the bastard... is blackmailing me again!
Performance?

Can that be a serious performance?

"Humph!"

Jin Xiu Fang was panicking, and hurriedly pulled An Ning behind her and fled: "Let's go, An Ning, let's ignore him..."

Having said that, Jinxiu pulled An Ning, whose face was also flushed and her eyes were dazed, away without saying anything, and did not ride in the same carriage with His Highness.

Lin Jiangnian waited until Jinxiu and An Ning left before he got into the carriage beside him.

Li Piaomiao was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed. When she heard Lin Jiangnian coming in, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at him.

Lin Jiangnian sat aside, relaxed and carefree. In front of the princess, he didn't care about his image at all.

Li Pianmiao looked at him quietly without saying a word.

After a while, as if he noticed that the princess's eyes were on him, Lin Jiangnian finally looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Li Piaomiao glanced out the window, and after a while, he said calmly, "Is this how you usually bully Jinxiu?"

The indifferent words made Lin Jiangnian slightly stunned.

Some surprises.

Is she here to stand up for her own maid?
"how come?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I was just joking with Miss Jinxiu."

"Is it?"

Li Piaomiao's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and her calm eyes looking at Lin Jiangnian always gave people a sense of hidden meaning.

As if seeing through everything.

This made Lin Jiangnian a little uncomfortable.

He wanted to say that he didn't usually bully Jinxiu like this. The way he bullied Jinxiu... he couldn't tell her in detail!

"Your Highness, are you here to seek justice for Miss Jinxiu?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Li Piaomiao was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Jinxiu is a bit naughty on weekdays, but she is also delicate, kind-hearted, and simple..."

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew all this.

However, why did Li Piaomiao suddenly bring up these things?
Lin Jiangnian looked at her in confusion, and seeing that Li Piaomiao was also looking at him calmly, he was silent for a moment and said, "Be nice to Jinxiu, don't let her suffer any injustice."

After hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was stunned.

The princess' tone is not right!
Why did he hear something else? Why did he feel like... he was entrusting his life to someone else?
"Princess……"

Lin Jiangnian asked tentatively: "What do you mean?"

"What do you think?"

Li Piaomiao asked back.

Meeting Li Piaomiao's gaze, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp: "Princess, what do you mean? I, don't quite understand..."

Start acting stupid!
Li Piaomiao pouted expressionlessly: "Just now in the inn, what did you do to Jinxiu under the table?"

When these words came out, Lin Jiangnian's eyes widened: "How did you know?!"

Did this woman find out?

Had she already noticed that he was touching Jinxiu's legs under the table?
Then why didn't she react before? !

"I know more than just that."

Li Piaomiao's expression remained the same. She glanced at Lin Jiangnian coldly and said expressionlessly, "Are you planning to continue hiding this from me?"

After these words, Lin Jiangnian fell silent. After a while, he sighed deeply.

"Alas, I can't hide it from you..."

"Yes, I am indeed in love with Jinxiu..."
