Exclusive to you

"You said it was in the past, now is now. Now you miss me and don't want to live the same life as before. From now on, I will be like this. What, you don't like it?" An Yuanyuan looked like she was going to ignore you if you dare to say you don't like it.

"No, no, no, Miss, oh no, Princess, I like you the way you are now. I like you very much. You are more human like this." Doudou sincerely felt that the Miss was very good like this. It was very real.

"Human? Wasn't I a human before, Miss?"

"No, no, no, what I meant is that the young lady before was like a fairy. It felt like people could never reach her. The young lady now seems to be truly living in this world."

"Okay, I'm just kidding. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Okay, we can start eating." An Yuanyuan picked up the roasted chicken wings and started eating.

"Hiss~ It's so hot"

"Princess, Concubine Yi is at the door asking to see you." At this time, a guard came to deliver the message.

"Concubine Yi? What is she doing here?" An Yuanyuan stopped what she was doing.

"I don't know."

"Let them in." An Yuanyuan continued to eat. Although she didn't like her, she was already at the door, and it would be impolite not to see her. If she had something urgent to do, it wouldn't delay her business.

"I have seen the princess."

"Your servant Xiaojuan has met the princess."

Concubine Yi and her servant bowed to An Yuanyuan one after another.

"I have met Concubine Yi."

Doudou, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong also bowed and saluted Concubine Yi.

"Come and sit together and have some barbecue." An Yuanyuan waved to them, being polite as the host.

"No, Princess, I came here today to talk to you about something."

"Oh, go ahead, I'm listening."

"Princess, may I have a word with you?" Yi Lin felt that this was not the right place to talk.

"What do you want to say? You're so mysterious. We're not close enough to talk in private yet." An Yuanyuan looked at Concubine Yi with a curious look.

"Princess, I think you should go inside and listen to what Concubine Yi wants to say to you. From Concubine Yi's look, it should be something very important." Dong Xue interrupted and advised the princess. Let them stay here, I will go in with you.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." When he heard that Dongxue would accompany him, he felt there was nothing to hesitate about.

Yi Lin looked at Dongxue deeply, frowning slightly, always feeling that Dongxue seemed to know everything.

He shook off the thoughts in his mind and followed An Yuanyuan into the house.

"Please sit anywhere. There's no one else here now. Concubine Yi, just tell me what you want to say." An Yuanyuan spoke as soon as she sat down.

Although Yi Lin had made up her mind, she didn't know how to start the conversation. She hesitated for a long time but still couldn't get to the point.

Seeing that she was having a hard time speaking, An Yuanyuan wondered what she wanted to say. But she didn't rush her, and instead looked at her patiently.

"Princess...you...you have to pay attention to your safety recently. It's better to increase the number of guards to protect the courtyard. Don't ask me why I said this. Just believe me this time. Don't ask me anything. I won't tell you." Yi Lin finished her words in one breath as if she had mustered up a lot of courage and made a big decision.

An Yuanyuan: ...

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your reminder. I will do as you say." An Yuanyuan looked at her and responded quietly.

Yi Lin: ???

"Princess, do you believe what I said?" She thought An Yuanyuan would definitely ask a lot of questions.

"Didn't you ask me to trust you?" An Yuanyuan had an attitude of, "I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Yi Lin: ...

"Princess, don't you have anything to ask?" She felt that An Yuanyuan's attitude was wrong, but she couldn't tell the reason. It sounded like she was following her opinion, but she always felt that things were not that simple.

"Of course I want to ask, but didn't you say it? Don't ask anything. You won't answer even if I ask." An Yuanyuan thought that Concubine Yi was quite cute.

"Then, if you ask the princess a question, what would she ask?" Yi Lin felt that she would definitely ask where the news came from. He only let her ask, but didn't say that he would answer.

"Why are you helping me?" An Yuanyuan still looked at her quietly.

"You should hate me, and if I weren't there, you would still be the head of the Leng Palace. You might even be the future Princess Leng. But if you help me, I will still be blocking you and monopolizing Leng Aotian. So even if that happens, are you still willing to help me?" An Yuanyuan seemed to be asking casually, but her tone was unusually serious.

Yi Lin: ...

"Of course I hate you. Not only do I hate you, I also hate you. Because of your sudden appearance, the whole situation has been changed. Because of your appearance, all my expectations and efforts have become a joke. You are the person I hate most in this world." Yi Lin didn't care about the rules anymore, and didn't call her the princess anymore. She was so angry that she seemed to be getting angrier and angrier as she spoke, as if she regretted reminding her.

An Yuanyuan: ...What did I do to make her hate me so much? Is it because of Leng Aotian? He was the one who provoked me first, not me.

"Then why are you still helping me? You dislike me and hate me so much. If I disappear, it will be beneficial to your current situation, right?"

"Don't think so badly of me. Of course I hope you disappear, but you leave on your own accord. Not because of..." Yi Lin glanced at An Yuanyuan and then lowered his eyes and continued speaking.

"In any case, not when I know about it. If I don't know, I don't care whether you live or die."

"You like Leng Aotian very much, right?" An Yuanyuan asked affirmatively, but before Yi Lin could answer, she continued

"I like him too. No, to be exact, I love him. I have never thought of pushing the man I like out to share with others. He can only be mine. Even if you saved me today, I have to tell you that I will not accept having you in my relationship with Leng Aotian just for this. I will not allow this, although I thank you very much."

"Don't look down on others. I'll tell you, it's not because of the prince, and I don't think about the prince's problem. I love him openly. Even if I can't get him, it's my own problem, and I don't need anyone to give in to me. Anyway, I've already told you, so add more guards to your yard. I'm leaving." After saying this, Yi Lin stood up and left.

"Thank you. Sincerely." An Yuanyuan shouted at Yi Lin's back.

Yi Lin paused and continued walking out without looking back or saying anything.

After walking out of An Yuanyuan's yard, Yi Lin looked up at the sky

I like Leng Aotian and have liked him for many years. My love for him is no less than An Yuanyuan's. But I am not as lucky as An Yuanyuan. Or maybe I am not destined to be with the prince.

The prince will be further and further away from me in the future, and I will never be able to be with the man I love, but even if I have no hope and no future, at least... I have saved my father and the Prime Minister's Mansion. This... is enough.

He lowered his eyes, hiding the pain in them, and walked towards his yard.

"Princess, what do you think?" Dong Xue asked An Yuanyuan.

"Let's do as we agreed before. We have secret guards anyway." That's right, it was the secret guard who overheard it again. No, he heard the news in advance, so he told An Yuanyuan.

An Yuanyuan realized that although the guards in Prince Leng's mansion seemed to be scattered and unprepared, they were actually guarded by experts all over the place. So what was there for her to be afraid of?

However, even though I knew it, I was still very grateful to Concubine Yi. From this perspective, she was a very respectable rival in love. She was not like in the TV series, where she killed innocent people without any bottom line in order to snatch a man.

"Don't think about it anymore, let's go and continue eating barbecue." An Yuanyuan gathered her thoughts, stood up and walked out of the yard.

……

"Father, are you looking for me?" An Haonan walked into Prince An's study.

"Well, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Prince An looked at his second son with unfathomable eyes.

"My son, I don't know."

"I only have two sons. Even though I know you have no talent for martial arts, I have never given up on training you. Yuan'er is right. You and Sheng'er are different, but you complement each other very well."

I remembered what Yuan'er said that day. The eldest brother is active, while the second brother is quiet. One likes martial arts, while the other loves literature. One is impulsive, while the other is mature and reserved. Father, you are both good at literature and martial arts, and your advantages have been inherited by both sons. You should be happy. At least there is no bias in this aspect of inheritance.

Prince An smiled knowingly again when he thought of this, looked at An Haonan, and spoke again.

"Father, I still say the same thing. I hope you can continue to go to the academy to expand your knowledge. In the future, you can take the civil service examination and use your knowledge and skills to find yourself a position. Don't bury your abilities. As for your mother, I will send someone to take care of her.

So, I will ask you one last time, do you still stick to your original decision? If you still stubbornly insist on your own opinion this time, then I will no longer ask about your affairs from now on. You can do whatever you want. "

When An Haonan heard his father's words, he did not respond immediately like before. This time he remained silent, and Prince An did not urge him. He quietly waited for his reply.

If it were before, An Haonan would definitely stick to his own opinion.

But at this moment he hesitated, and his mind emerged with the day when he was bullied and An Yuanyuan rescued him and the last words she said to him.

He suddenly didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a daze like this. My mother said that her family had no ability and couldn't help me if something happened, so she asked me not to cause trouble. But sometimes it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to you if you don't cause trouble.

Instead of listening to my mother saying that her family can't help me, why not protect myself? And speaking of backing, what could be more powerful than the backing of Prince An's Mansion?

My father has never treated me unfairly, which is why I don't hate him even though I'm not well-liked in the palace. After all, it was my own choice.

Yuaner said that she hoped her two brothers could support her, so that if she was bullied, her two brothers could vent her anger for her.

Although I don't know martial arts, as long as my status is high enough, I can still be intimidating.

He wanted to be his sister's support and encouragement.

At this moment, a determination that had never appeared before appeared in the man's eyes.

He looked up at his father who was sitting on the main seat, bowed with both hands, and spoke slowly.

"I am willing to follow all arrangements made by my father." His tone was firm and sincere.
