Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Linwangfu, Ruyi Building.

Lin Jiangnian carried two bottles of wine and arrived at the fourth floor of Ruyi Building with ease.

In the attic, he saw two figures.

Wearing a gray robe and looking like a dying man, Senior Li was sitting by the window, seemingly closing his eyes to rest.

The eldest princess, who is elegantly dressed in white and has a cold temperament, sits opposite her with a cold expression.

Lin Jiangnian's arrival broke the brief silence in the attic.

"Hey, are you all here?"

Lin Jiangnian approached with wine in hand and looked at the two of them: "What are we talking about?"

Li Piaomiao raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Jiangnian calmly. Senior Li, who had his eyes closed to rest, also opened his eyes slightly. When he saw Lin Jiangnian holding the wine, a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, you still remember this bad old man like me."

Lin Jiangnian put the wine in his hand on the table and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Li? This junior will remember Senior Li in his heart. Why don't you come and see the senior when you have time?!"

Elder Li smiled and didn't say anything. He opened the wine on the table. The aroma of wine overflowed and filled the attic. Elder Li took a deep breath and showed some aftertaste on his face.

"fragrant!"

Then he poured a bowl of wine and drank it all.

"strong!"

Putting down the wine bowl, Mr. Li sighed with admiration.

After taking a closer look, Mr. Li raised his eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian again: "Why are you here today, Your Highness?"

"Of course I made a special trip to visit my senior."

Lin Jiangnian sat down aside, looked at the two uncles and nephews, and then his eyes fell on Li Miaomiao: "Princess, why are you here today?"

Since Li Miaomiao reached some kind of agreement with Lin Hengzhong last time, she has been able to enter and exit Ruyi Building freely, which somewhat surprised Lin Jiangnian.

Ruyi Tower is an important place, and very few people can enter and exit this place.

Apart from the building guard Senior Li, only Lin Hengzhong, Lin Jiangnian, and Zhiyuan have such rights.

Needless to say, Zhiyuan is a member of Prince Lin's Mansion and is deeply trusted by Prince Lin.

But the eldest princess...

Her identity was already in conflict with Prince Lin's Mansion, but now Lin Hengzhong allowed her to enter and exit Ruyi Tower freely, which clearly implied something.

Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly but did not speak.

On the other hand, Senior Li took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The eldest princess also saw that this bad old man like me was bored here, so she came over to chat with this bad old man like me to relieve her fatigue!"

Li Piaomiao glanced at Mr. Li with a calm expression: "How is your uncle thinking?"

Mr. Li's turbid eyes seemed to be filled with emotion, and he sighed: "You don't need to persuade me any more. I'm an old guy at my age. How can I still have that kind of thought?"

Li Miaomiao remained silent and did not speak again.

"The world in the future belongs to you young people after all."

As he said that, Mr. Li glanced at the two of them meaningfully.

Lin Jiangnian and Li Mianmiao looked at each other without saying anything. However, everyone seemed to realize the meaning of Li Lao's words.

"Lin Hengzhong, I must have told you everything, right?"

Li Miaomiao was silent after hearing this, while Lin Jiangnian said: "My father did mention it."

Mr. Li asked the two of them interestingly: "Then what are your plans?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Li Miaomiao, what was his plan?

This naturally depends on her thoughts.

After all, she was the one who was ultimately going to push to that position.

Li Piaomiao looked as usual and remained silent.

"I'm actually very optimistic about you."

Senior Li looked at the young couple in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

The two people in front of them can be regarded as the most outstanding young people in the world.

The two of them are among the best in the world in terms of martial arts, talents, and backgrounds.

One is the sister of the current emperor, a highly favored eldest princess who enjoys great prestige in the court, and the other is the powerful Crown Prince Lin who is entrenched in the southern territory of the dynasty.

Both of them are extremely powerful beings in their respective fields. If they join forces, what will happen to the world?

No one could have predicted it, but it would definitely have the opportunity to change the current situation of internal and external troubles in the Daning Dynasty.

The atmosphere in the attic room was silent for a while.

Regarding this question, Li Miaomiao did not speak, but just fixed his gaze on Lin Jiangnian.

The two looked at each other quietly.

"It seems like it's not the right time for me, a bad old man, to stay here!"

Senior Li chuckled and sighed, slowly stood up, put away the wine on the table, picked up the broom beside him, and turned to clean the dust in the attic.

Lin Jiangnian and Li Miaomiao were left in the same place.

The two still looked at each other quietly, and Lin Jiangnian was the first to break the silence.

"Senior Li said what you think?"

Li Piaomiao looked at him calmly and remained silent.

"Why don't you speak?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke again, looking at the cold and beautiful face in front of him, and sighed inwardly, "Are you still angry with me?"

Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes moved slightly, but she still didn't speak.

However, there was no anger in her.

It seems like I don’t know how to answer.

After a while, she said: "Go back."

Lin Jiangnian didn't ask any more questions and smiled: "Okay."

He stood up, but saw that the eldest princess was still sitting there without moving, looking at him quietly.

"Why don't you leave?"

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth, but when he saw that she didn't move, he stretched out a hand towards her.

Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes fell on his hand, and she was silent for a moment. She also stretched out her hand and placed her fair and slender palm on Lin Jiangnian's palm.

It felt slightly cool, soft, and her ten fingers were slender. When the fingertips touched, there was an indescribable smoothness and delicateness.

Lin Jiangnian held it tightly, and the two got up and left Ruyi Tower and returned to the inner courtyard.

Along the way, the two did not communicate much.

Li Piaomiao was cold and not good at speaking, but Lin Jiangnian mentioned something from time to time, explaining to her the decoration and history of the Lin Wang Mansion.

In order to play the role of the Lin Wang's son, Lin Jiangnian worked hard and wrote down everything in the Lin Wang Mansion.

When the two returned to the backyard, Li Piaomiao, who had been silent, suddenly stopped. At the same time, he broke free from Lin Jiangnian's hand.

"What?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled and looked back with some confusion.

Li Piaomiao lowered her eyes, and when her palms broke free, the familiar warm breath suddenly dissipated, and the coldness in the air suddenly swept over her again, making her slightly uncomfortable.

In the past, due to her physical condition and the practice of cultivation, she did not feel much about the cold.

She was even used to it!

But since she had close contact with Lin Jiangnian in the secret room of the palace that night, it was out of control!

She could clearly feel that her body was becoming more and more dependent on him.

The body's instinctive reaction will not lie!

This made her a little dazed.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian, her expression was still cold, and her bright eyes seemed to see through him.

Then, she whispered: "Don't forget what you promised me."

The voice was neither cold nor light, very light.

This sentence came out of her mouth, and there was an inexplicable sense of cuteness.

And Lin Jiangnian was startled, what did he promise her?

He quickly recalled, what did he promise her?

While thinking, Li Piaomiao seemed to see through something and slowly retracted his eyes. He stopped talking and turned back to his room.

Lin Jiangnian was left standing there, still a little confused.

What did he promise Li Piaomiao?

Did he make a promise unintentionally at some point?

But no matter how Lin Jiangnian thought about it, he still couldn't remember it.

He didn't promise Li Piaomiao anything, did he?

But, she wouldn't mention this for no reason...

Lin Jiangnian began to think seriously, starting from today and going forward, recalling the experience of the two of them getting along again.

After a while, he seemed to realize something...

What Li Piaomiao said about promising her, wouldn't it mean... to find a way to make her fall in love with him?

Lin Jiangnian's thoughts were stunned and gradually drifted.

She suddenly mentioned this just now... What does it mean?

Is she hinting at him?

Or is she urging him to find a way to make her fall in love with her as soon as possible, so that she can follow the natural order...

Standing there, the more Lin Jiangnian thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the foreign princess not far away, Lin Jiangnian hesitated whether to go to Jinxiu to discuss it.

As Li Piaomiao's personal maid, she must know more about this than he does.

Just as he was thinking, a beautiful figure suddenly passed by under the eaves.

"Jin... An Ning?"

At first glance, Lin Jiangnian thought it was Jinxiu, but after a closer look, he found it was An Ning.

Today, An Ning did not wear the plain white long skirt as usual, but changed into a light yellow skirt. The whole person looked small and exquisite, and inexplicably a little cute.

The temperament has changed a lot.

For some reason, I suddenly feel that I am a bit similar to Xiao Zhu.

From Lin Jiangnian's perspective, An Ning has been imitating the dress habits of the princess on weekdays. At first glance, she has indeed learned a lot. In terms of dress and temperament, An Ning is indeed very similar to the princess.

But, they are still not the same.

I didn't learn the essence, I only learned the surface!

The temperament of the eldest princess is not something that ordinary people can imitate.

Moreover, An Ning is not as cold as the eldest princess. After a deeper understanding, you can find that this little girl is actually very timid and afraid of things. Her cold appearance on weekdays is actually a disguise to protect herself.

After analyzing this layer of logic, when you look at An Ning again, you can find that she is a bit of a dead-pretend...

This is why Jinxiu has always laughed at An Ning for stealing the princess's learning. As a sister, how can she not know what kind of personality An Ning has?

In addition, the eldest princess is taller, a little taller than An Ning by half a head, which makes An Ning stand next to the princess. People can always see the difference at a glance.

An Ning, who changed into a light yellow skirt today, is quite suitable for her.

Less cold in the past, more temperament at her age. A face that is already slightly immature, and a pair of clear and innocent eyes, all show her appearance at her age.

Except... the sword was still in her arms.

And when she met Lin Jiangnian, she was subconsciously flustered and nervous: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

An Ning, who had just passed by the corridor, didn't expect to bump into Lin Jiangnian.

An Ning's eyes widened slightly at first, and she nervously hugged the sword in her arms. Then, as if she realized something, she subconsciously looked down and turned around to run away.

"Stop!"

Seeing that she was about to run away, Lin Jiangnian spoke immediately.

An Ning's body seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then, she really stopped in place.

Moving, she kept turning around and wanted to run away.

Lin Jiangnian was happy to see this scene.

This little girl is really obedient?

"Turn around."

Lin Jiangnian said again.

After a moment of silence, An Ning turned around reluctantly. Her delicate little face was full of nervousness.

"Why do you run when you see me?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "Am I that scary?"

"No, no..."

An Ning lowered her head, her tone was a little flustered, and she hesitated.

"Then why do you run when you see me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked again.

An Ning lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Have you forgotten what you promised me last time?"

Lin Jiangnian walked slowly to her. He wanted to teach her a lesson with a stern face, but thinking that this girl was timid, his tone softened a little.

Hearing this, An Ning lowered her head even more, and at the same time, her hand holding the sword tightened a little.

Biting her lower lip, she said nothing.

"I won't eat you, why are you always so afraid of me?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed. This little girl is good in every way, but she is too timid. So many times he wanted to have a good exchange with her, but when she saw Lin Jiangnian, she either dodged or ran away.

No chance!

It has to change!

An Ning still said nothing.

"You, you, can't you learn from Jinxiu? Look at me and Jinxiu..."

Lin Jiangnian wanted to persuade her, but he quickly shut up.

This example is not good.

Jinxiu is indeed an extrovert, but Jinxiu has been given by him... An Ning also knew about this. This example is not appropriate, and it seems to be hinting at something.

When An Ning heard this, she was suddenly stunned. She originally lowered her head, raised her head and glanced at Lin Jiangnian.

Some emotions seemed to flash in her eyes.

Then she lowered her head again, bit her lower lip, turned her head away, and didn't look at Lin Jiangnian.

It seems that she was a little angry.

And her reaction also fell into Lin Jiangnian's sight.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Jiangnian noticed the change in An Ning's expression.

An Ning remained silent and said nothing.

"Why, are you still angry?"

Lin Jiangnian quickly discovered her reaction. The girl's expression changed too obviously. This angry look clearly showed that she was emotional.

"I just said two words to you, why are you still angry?"

Lin Jiangnian thought that his tone was not heavy?

How could this girl still turn her face?

It's not like her?

Hearing this, for some reason, An Ning felt a sense of grievance in her heart.

Even she herself didn't know why, but it was... grievance!

Especially when the prince suddenly mentioned Jinxiu, the bitter emotion could not be suppressed, and it surged into her heart, making her, who had always been calm in the past, inexplicably have a little temper at this moment.

Unable to restrain!

Unable to restrain at all.

She said in a cold tone: "Don't worry about it!"

The voice was very light, but it was full of temper and anger.

After saying this, An Ning turned and ran away. Lin Jiangnian was left standing there, looking confused.

How... he was really angry?

This shouldn't be the case? ! (End of this chapter)
