son, don't mess around

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect that there was someone who shared the same heroic views as him?
After all, there was no precedent for a woman becoming an emperor in this era, and it was a shocking act.

In the eyes of court officials and aristocratic families, this was a violation of the decision of their ancestors. In the eyes of the people of the world, firstly, they were questioning, and secondly, the traditions of thousands of years were deeply rooted, and the people might not accept a woman dominating them!
Therefore, even though there were a few women with outstanding abilities in the past, they were ultimately unable to achieve their wishes.

The obstacles will be huge!
When a woman becomes an emperor, the pressure from all sides she faces is much greater than one can imagine!
However, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all... At least considering the current situation of the Daning Dynasty, her chances are very high!
As for whether Li Piaomiao is suitable to sit in that position?
It’s not easy to say!
But compared to the bunch of rotten fish and shrimp in the Li royal family, who are hopeless, letting Li Piaomiao take that position is actually the best choice.

For the Lin Wang Mansion, if Li Piaomiao takes that position, she will become a strong rival of the palace. But on the other hand, with Li Piaomiao, the situation in the court of the capital can be maintained, so that the current balance of power among the three parties will not be completely broken.

There are pros and cons, but after weighing them, the pros always outweigh the cons!
Li Piaomiao remained silent. She did not answer Lin Jiangnian's question, but her eyes became more and more dazed.

"Such a golden opportunity is in front of you, aren't you tempted?"

Seeing that Li Piaomiao was silent, Lin Jiangnian spoke up again: "That is the supreme imperial power, the ruler above all others, the pinnacle of power..."

"Now the opportunity is right in front of you, within your grasp...don't you have any ideas?"

Li Piaomiao said calmly: "Not interested!"

"Some things you can't just not do just because you say you're not interested!"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "You are the eldest princess of the Daning Dynasty. While you enjoy the glory brought by this identity, don't you also have to bear your due responsibilities?"

Seeing Li Piaomiao looking at him, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and said, "I am not interested in the identity of the prince of Lin, and I have no idea about inheriting the throne. Am I not the same as you?"

"Some things can't be avoided!"

Li Piaomiao concentrated on thinking, as if thinking about something.

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes again and leaned back slightly: "You came to the palace this time, in addition to wanting to welcome back your uncle, you also came to the Ruyi Tower to look for life-saving elixirs... I guess it was for your brother, right?"

"If he really dies, the dynasty will instantly fall into chaos, or even fall apart... Do you intend to watch your brother, your father's hard work, go to waste?"

Lin Jiangnian's tone was relaxed, yet seemed to carry a hint of temptation, causing Li Piaomiao, who had originally looked calm, to frown.

She pondered for a long time before looking at Lin Jiangnian again: "Do you think I'm suitable?"

"What's appropriate or inappropriate about this?"

Lin Jiang smiled young: "You are the Princess of Daning. You have the blood of the royal family of the dynasty flowing in your body. You have the right to inherit the throne!"

Li Piaomiao said: "But I am a woman."

"Does the Daning law stipulate that women cannot be emperors?"

Li Piaomiao was silent.

There are indeed no regulations.

But some things are not that simple.

Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian again and was silent.

"Why are you so excited about this??"

"The Daning Dynasty is about to welcome its first female emperor, who has never been seen before in history. Shouldn't we be excited?"

"Why?"

"Isn't it novel for a woman to be an emperor?"

Li Piaomiao remained silent and shook his head: "There will be many people who oppose it, and it may even cause... chaos in the world!"

She could almost foresee such a situation. If the situation was not handled properly, there would be chaos in the world.

How could the Li family's relatives just sit there and do nothing?

By then, she would most likely end up being deserted by everyone.

"I'm afraid this is not your character, Li Piaomiao!"

Lin Jiangnian said happily: "Is there anything else in this world that you are afraid of?"

She asked back, “Why not?”

"You are Li Piaomiao, the Princess of Daning, a genius admired by the world, and an invincible existence. What are you afraid of?"

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, Li Piaomiao remained silent.

Are you invincible?
She is still far from being invincible!
Even if you are really invincible...so what?

After all, her power alone is not enough to change the general trend.

unless……

Thinking of this, Li Piaomiao's gaze fell on Lin Jiangnian again.

I was a little absent-minded in a trance.

And this scene was also noticed by Lin Jiangnian.

The eldest princess has lost consciousness many times tonight.

This is very wrong!
Since she came back, she seemed to be a little worried and would be in a daze from time to time.

This is weird!

This kind of situation would have been almost impossible for her to encounter in the past.

What happened to make the princess so worried?
"what happened to you?"

Lin Jiangnian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Li Piaomiao came back to his senses, glanced at him, and said nothing.

"Did the prince say something to you?"

Lin Jiangnian remembered something. She became like this after meeting Prince Lin... What did Lin Hengzhong communicate with her?
What could make her become like this?
Li Piaomiao looked indifferent and nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

"What did you say?" Lin Jiangnian asked again.

Li Piaomiao glanced at him and said, "Do you want to know?"

"Nonsense, don't you want to know what I asked you?"

Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes seemed to flicker a little, and she looked away slightly: "If you want to know, go ask the prince."

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Lin Jiangnian said unhappily, "You knew you wouldn't tell me, but you made me go to all that trouble to ask the prince?"

Li Piaomiao's expression remained the same, and her answers were as cold and honest as ever.

"I do not want to say."

"..."

"Forget it, you can say it or not!"

It was really hard to communicate with this woman. She couldn't say a word for a long time before. Now she said she was saying something, but it was the same as not saying anything.

"I'm sleepy. Let's go back to sleep."

Lin Jiangnian stood up, stretched, turned around and walked outside.

Li Piaomiao watched Lin Jiangnian walk to the door quietly, and a strange emotion appeared on his cold face.

She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she kept silent and just watched Lin Jiangnian leave the room.

"boom!"

The door closed gently, covering up the night outside.

There was silence in the room.

Li Piaomiao, dressed in a white dress, was still sitting there, with her head slightly lowered and her long black hair scattered, slightly covering her stunningly beautiful face. Her beautiful eyes, which used to be calm, finally contained countless complex emotions.

She kept thinking back to the suggestion made by the Emperor's uncle in Ruyi Tower, and the question that Prince Lin had asked her when she met him not long ago...

These images kept repeating in her mind, completely disrupting her usually calm state of mind.

She closed her eyes, as if trying to suppress the strange emotion in her heart. But the more she did so, the stronger the emotion became, making it difficult for her to calm down!

It’s so strange that I can’t explain it!
After a while, she finally opened her eyes, her expression calm again, as if nothing had happened.

"Are you getting married?" Then, in the cold and silent room, a vague and unclear murmur could be heard.

There was a hint of confusion, a hint of uneasiness, and a hint of indescribable fear...

……

After leaving Li Piaomiao's room, Lin Jiangnian did not leave in a hurry.

Lin Jiangnian was just pissed off by Li Piaomiao, and he felt a little uncomfortable inside. But he couldn't vent his anger on Li Piaomiao, after all, he couldn't beat her.

After thinking it over, he decided to go and vent his anger on Jinxiu!

Your master is so annoying. As her personal maid, don't you have the obligation to take the punishment and vent her anger on her behalf?

necessary!

As a maid, isn't it your job to take responsibility for your master's mistakes?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian walked through the corridor to Jinxiu's door. He pushed the door open and walked in. He closed the door and locked it in one go.

The light in the room was dim, the candle was about to burn out, and the light was hazy.

Not far away, behind the screen, a figure could be vaguely seen lying in the bed.

"Jinxiu, why did you go to bed so early today?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. It wasn't that late today, so why did Jinxiu lie down so early?
Are you too tired?
Or was it because she was too exhausted last night?
While thinking, Lin Jiangnian walked through the screen towards the bed.

……

the other side.

When the door was pushed open, An Ning thought it was Jinxiu who came back. But soon, she realized something was wrong... This was not Jinxiu's breath!
An Ning, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, her delicate body suddenly tensed up, she became alert in an instant, and subconsciously reached out to touch the sword beside the pillow.

But soon he discovered that... the sword was not with him.

Just as murderous intent emerged in her eyes, she seemed to realize something.

Wait, this aura... why does it sound like His Highness?

An Ning was stunned for a moment, then quickly confirmed...it was indeed His Highness!

But Your Highness, why did you break into her room so late at night?

Is it...

As soon as the thought came to mind, a hint of panic appeared in An Ning's clear and bright eyes in the darkness.

But soon, she remembered something...

wrong!

This isn't her room? This, this is Jinxiu's room?!
Tonight, Jinxiu insisted on taking her to sleep with him. An Ning refused in vain and had no choice but to agree. Then, Jinxiu wanted to take her to take a bath together, but An Ning flatly refused.

While Jinxiu Hanhao went to take a bath alone, An Ning went back to the room and lay down first.

...So, Your Highness, the person you broke into was Jinxiu's room?

When this thought came to mind, An Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, she suddenly realized something and gradually opened her eyes wide.

No, there is a problem too!
Your Highness, what are you doing in Jinxiu Room so late at night?
them……

An Ning's face was slightly solemn. She had long noticed that there seemed to be something wrong between His Highness and Jinxiu. She always felt that there was something strange about the two of them.

Especially in the afternoon when they were by the lake at Ruyi Tower, His Highness and Jinxiu were very close when they were playing and fighting, and An Ning felt something was not right.

Now, after seeing His Highness coming into Jinxiu's room, An Ning became even more suspicious and confused?

What is the relationship between His Highness and Jinxiu?
Why would His Highness come to see Jinxiu so late at night?

What happened to them?
An Ning was dazed, her mind was wandering, and she didn't notice Lin Jiangnian's question at all. When she came to her senses, Lin Jiangnian had already passed through the screen and approached the bed.

In an instant, An Ning's delicate body tensed up.

She turned her back and felt like her back was pricked by thorns. An indescribable nervousness surged up. She subconsciously pulled herself into the quilt, and her little face became pale and flustered.

She, she is not Jinxiu!
Therefore, she felt a little guilty for some reason, as if she had done something wrong.

Panic.

This is Jinxiu's room. Your Highness came here to find Jinxiu, but she is lying here... Isn't this deceiving Your Highness?

An Ning was extremely nervous as she was thinking this way. She was almost sweating all over. Her brain, which was not very flexible to begin with, was now completely blank, as if it was stuck and she couldn't think at all.

I don’t know what to do next, how to deal with such a situation?

She had absolutely no experience and was totally panicked.

"Huh? Why aren't you talking? Are you asleep?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice came from behind again.

And these words seemed to remind An Ning...Yes, yes, she fell asleep!
As long as she fell asleep, it had nothing to do with her, right?!

She was just tricked by Jinxiu into sleeping with her. She was innocent and knew nothing... She didn't know who had come in?
…It has nothing to do with her anyway.

With such an ostrich mentality, An Ning immediately closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep.

Lin Jiangnian, who was standing beside the bed, found it a little funny to see Jinxiu pretending to sleep under the quilt.

His breathing was disordered, his heartbeat was accelerated...he was clearly awake.

You can hide it from others, but not from him.

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised by such nervousness. However, he did not think much about it and just thought it was Jinxiu's trick to avoid him.

Do you think you can get away with it by pretending to be asleep?
The lights in the room were so dim that Lin Jiangnian didn't realize that the person lying on the bed was not Jinxiu.

The sisters look alike. Apart from their temperament and slight differences, it is difficult to tell them apart under normal circumstances, let alone in such a scene?
Although Lin Jiangnian did notice that there was something a little strange about Jinxiu on the bed, he didn't think about it at all, let alone imagine that the person sleeping in the room was An Ning!
Seeing that Jinxiu was pretending to sleep on the bed, Lin Jiangnian showed a playful smile on his face and slowly approached.

On the bed, An Ning closed her eyes tightly and pretended to be asleep.

My mind is confused and blank.

I was hoping that His Highness would leave quickly and didn't notice the slight rustling sound coming from behind me.

Then, there was sudden silence for a moment.

Just when An Ning thought that His Highness was about to leave, the quilt covering her was suddenly lifted. Then, a hot body quickly got into the quilt and pressed tightly against her back.

In an instant, An Ning's delicate body instinctively tensed up, her eyes suddenly opened, staring wide.

Caught off guard?

Shame and panic!
Incredible!

As if it had been subjected to some severe stimulation, the little face instantly turned red.

Your Highness, he, he actually...

"temple……"

Just when An Ning was about to open her mouth in panic, Lin Jiangnian got into the quilt and hugged her from behind. Before An Ning could speak, his hot hands fell on the part of the girl that could not be covered by her thin clothes.

Meimei plays with it as skillfully as usual!

But, the moment Lin Jiangnian's hands just pinched down, he felt something was wrong!

wrong……

It doesn’t feel right!

This……

Lin Jiangnian pinched it again as if unsure, and the feeling was right...it certainly didn't feel right.

He gradually showed doubts...

Jinxiu, why has it become smaller?
???
