Lin Luoling didn't dare to touch these precious clothes. She glanced at them several times, but didn't know which one to take off and replace them.

Seeing this, Aunt Hong took out a Rouge Snow skirt and said to Lin Luoling, "This one suits Miss Lin's skin tone very well."

Seeing that Lin Luoling was reluctant to accept it, Aunt Hong smiled and said, "Miss Lin, don't worry. Since His Royal Highness Prince An has given the order, Miss Lin can wear it. If you don't like this one, you can try another one."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling waved her hands and said, "No need, just this one!"

Aunt Hong led her to one side, opened the door and said, "Ms. Lin, please go in and change your clothes."

As she spoke, Aunt Hong handed over a brocade box and said, "Miss Lin, this is something you need for menstruation. If it's not suitable, please call me and I'll bring it to you as soon as possible according to what you usually use."

Lin Luoling responded, closed the wooden door, opened the brocade box, and took a look. The brocade and cotton inside were all top quality, and even the belt was exquisitely made.

Lin Luoling, who had just changed into a new dress, was about to leave the hall with Aunt Hong.

As soon as the palace door opened, Prince An was seen standing not far in front, wearing a heavy cloak.

Hearing the voice, Prince An turned around and saw Lin Luoling wearing a new rouge and snow-white dress. He was startled for a moment, his eyes burning, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These skirts have finally found their owners.

Prince An had been favored by Emperor Deshun since he was young. He was very particular about food, clothing and daily necessities, and ordinary things were rarely acceptable to him.

In the early years, every time he made a set of clothes, he would prepare an extra set according to his mother's size. However, in the more than three years since he came to Xuzhou, he has not found a woman who can match these dresses.

When Lin Luoling put on this dress, Prince An's eyes really lit up.

Lin Luoling and Concubine Li have very similar figures, so when Prince An came to Xuzhou three years ago, he looked at Lin Luoling's back in the rain. Because Lin Luoling had not grown up yet, her back was somewhat similar, but a little smaller.

In the end, Prince An was still stunned.

Although Lin Luoling's beauty is completely different from Concubine Li's, she has a different temperament and charm when wearing this dress.

Aunt Hong respectfully took her leave and turned away.

Lin Luoling lowered his head, his expression changing back and forth. He fiddled with the fingers of his hands for a long time before squeezing out a mosquito-like sound from his throat: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince An."

Upon hearing this, Prince An calmed down and said with a faint smile, "Those skirts have been lying around for a long time. You saved Princess July, so I'll give you a set. Why thank you?"

Seeing Lin Luoling bowed respectfully without saying another word, Prince An rubbed his fingers and suppressed the urge to be alone with Lin Luoling.

He said, "Yu'er is still waiting for you to play pot tossing, I will take you there."

Lin Luoling nodded and followed Prince An.

She found that Prince An's steps were extremely slow, so slow that it seemed as if he was moving in slow motion.

From a distance, Princess July could be heard shouting, "Sister Lin, you're finally back. Your cousin shot seven arrows at you, and all of them hit the target..."

Jiang Chi guessed that Princess July was going to talk about the score, so he interrupted her and said, "Seven arrows scored 42 points. Sister Luo Ling, come quickly. If I can get two more points, I will surpass you."

Princess July turned around and said, "Hey! Do you know how to count?"

Jiang Chi fanned himself beside Princess July and whispered, "Your cousin has a long-standing cough that is difficult to cure. If you said you got a perfect score, Sister Luo Ling would be able to tell with her toes that it was a lie."

Princess July blinked her doe eyes, rubbed her nose and muttered, "It's true!"

Lin Luoling didn't expect that Prince An was so good at throwing pots. Seeing Prince An's eyes full of admiration, she thanked him, took the arrow handed to her by Jiang Chi, threw it with full confidence, and barely got two points.

She looked at Prince An embarrassedly.

Unexpectedly, Prince An left without anyone noticing.

Lin Luoling couldn't help but wonder, when Prince An brought her here just now, he walked so slowly, but this time his son left so quickly.

Jiang Chi said with a smile: "Sister Luo Ling, are you deliberately letting me down? Then I won't be polite."

"Whoosh..."

Jiang Chi smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that I just won two points over my sister."

Princess July glared at Jiang Chi coldly, her meaning clearly being: Didn’t you just say that you wanted Sister Lin to win so that she would be happy?

Jiang Chi pretended not to see it. Princess Qiyue said angrily, "Come again, I don't believe I can't beat you today."

Butler Gu Shun glanced at the three people who were having fun outside the window, then glanced at his own prince, and said in confusion: "It took a lot of effort to invite the only daughter of the Lin family to our house. If the prince doesn't want to play with them, he should at least stay by their side to get to know them better..."

Gu Shun did not say the rest of the words. His prince was a deep-minded person. Even if he only said the first half of the sentence, his prince could know the last three sentences of what the other person was thinking.

Prince An, who was standing in front of the long table painting, paused and said, "The only daughter of the Lin family has married the second son of the Yongning Marquisate. If I get close to her, it will not benefit her reputation."

After a pause, Prince An raised his eyes and said, "My two brothers who are far away in the capital have sent people to monitor me. If I become friends with her, I am afraid that even the Lin family will be implicated."

Gu Shun sighed again and again, muttering, "If I had known earlier that the woman in the painting was Lin's only daughter, the prince would have proposed the marriage early in the morning. What would the second son of Yongning Marquis's Mansion have to do with it?"

Prince An smiled bitterly and said, “When I first arrived in Xuzhou, I wanted to win over Lin Tingxu, but he was stubborn and refused to agree. It was He Jinchun who did me a favor and arranged for Doctor Yan to come and diagnose me, and he also privately handed me a letter early to explain.

Do you think that if I want to marry Lin Tingxu's only daughter, he will agree? Not to mention that he and his wife don't know that I am pretending to be sick, even if they knew that I am not sick, they would definitely not marry their only daughter to me. "

Prince An put down his pen and looked into the distance, which was the direction of the capital.

"The struggle for succession among the princes of every dynasty is always a bloody road. If you are not careful, you will fall into an abyss."

After the words fell, Prince An lowered his eyes and continued to paint with his brush, making the woman in the painting lifelike.

The butler raised his eyelids and took a look. The woman in the painting was Lin Luoling.

Gu Shun smiled with the corners of his lips curved up. He said no more, bowed and turned to leave.

Prince An stared at the person in the painting, his eyes darkened, and he said to himself, "There is still a long time to go. Since I love you and can protect you well, I will welcome you into the palace and make you my princess no matter how difficult it is."

It was almost noon, and Princess July invited Lin Luoling and Jiang Chi to have dinner at Prince An's Mansion. Jiang Chi politely declined. No matter how Princess July tried to keep them, Jiang Chi would leave.

Princess July and Jiang Chi were so angry that they started to argue with each other.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Princess July was at a disadvantage. She couldn't find any words to confront Jiang Chi. Jiang Chi fanned himself and said to Lin Luoling, "Sister Luoling, let's go home."

Jiang Chi walked away leisurely, fanning himself. Lin Luoling also wanted to go back to the Lin Mansion to see what Prince An wrote to her this time. She bowed to Princess July and followed Jiang Chi. The butler Gu Shun escorted them out of Prince An's Mansion.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Luoling asked, "Young Master Jiang seems to be deliberately avoiding me these days?"

Jiang Chi waved his whip and replied with a smile: "You figured this out?"
