Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

The weather is calm and sunny.

Ruyi Building, fourth floor.

The sunshine outside the window slowly falls into the attic. The attic is spotless. The antique sandalwood beams are carved with exquisite patterns. Rows of books are displayed on the bookshelves not far away. The air is filled with a faint aroma of book ink. .

Mixed with a strong aroma of spirits, it filled the attic.

"When are you ready to leave?"

In the attic, two figures, an old man and a young man, were sitting in front of a simple sandalwood table.

Senior Li, who was still wearing a gray robe and had a stooped figure, leaned against the wall, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and after taking a few sips, he clicked his tongue happily and savored it for a while before opening his eyes and looking at the man sitting opposite. Lin Jiangnian.

"tomorrow."

"So fast?"

Senior Li seemed a little surprised.

"Sooner rather than later!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said: "Now that the troubles in Linjiang City have come to an end, there is no need for me, Prince Lin, to come forward. The situation over there with the Jiang family is not good, and I have to go take a trip!"

Senior Li seemed to remember something and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I heard that Old Man Jiang is about to die?"

As the leader of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang has a high prestige. Even today, he must respect his elders.

Probably the only one in front of me, Senior Li, dared to speak so bluntly.

Lin Jiangnian said: "We still don't know what the situation is. The old man was seriously ill a few years ago. Now I heard that he is not in danger of life, but his health is deteriorating and he is indeed in some danger..."

"Then he's probably going to die!"

Senior Li took a sip of wine and sighed.

Lin Jiangnian didn't answer. It was hard to answer.

Although they have never met him, Mr. Jiang can be regarded as Lin Jiangnian's nominal grandfather. Senior Li can be rude, but he still has to show some respect.

"What a pity. If I had the chance, I would really like to see it with my own eyes."

Senior Li couldn't help but sigh: "I remember how majestic he was back then. He didn't give face to anyone, had a stubborn temper, and had an attitude that he didn't care about anyone in the world."

"I didn't expect that I'm going to die now..."

Senior Li narrowed his eyes and sighed with emotion.

His expression changed, whether he was amazed or gloating.

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said: "Senior, if you want to go, just go to Jiang's house with this junior to meet the old man?"

"Then forget it!"

Senior Li waved his hand: "I don't want to see him!"

Lin Jiangnian seemed to hear something from Senior Li's tone. Did Senior Li have some unknown grudges with Mr. Jiang?

"My old bones are too old to walk!"

Senior Li looked a little disappointed and sighed: "From now on, the world will still belong to you young people."

Having said this, Senior Li glanced at Lin Jiangnian a few more times. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes turned slightly playful: "What happened between you and that girl?"

"Senior, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Is there still no progress?"

Senior Li seemed to see something and asked doubtfully: "You haven't captured that girl yet?"

"What I taught you last time, has your Highness never tried it?"

What did Senior Li teach last time?

It's all a bad idea!

Lin Jiang young sighed: "This matter is not urgent for the time being..."

Now the relationship between him and Li Miaomiao is at a delicate balance point. It seems that there is only one opportunity left to break the balance!

But unfortunately, it’s just that little bit different!

Since Li Miaomiao confessed to him that time, Lin Jiangnian has also tried hard to make Li Miaomiao fall in love with him.

But the eldest princess's temperament was too cold. Lin Jiangnian could feel that Li Miaomiao was indeed very special to him, and he could vaguely feel her feelings.

The relationship between the two has reached a critical point!

But it is not that easy to break this critical point. In addition, so many things happened during this period that the relationship between the two has remained in situ.

This time Lin Jiangnian decided to leave Linjiang City and go north with Li Miaomiao because he had other thoughts.

He hopes to get closer to Li Piaomiao on this journey.

This is also the last chance!

"Young people, seize the opportunity!"

Senior Li's eyes were deep and he looked like someone who had come before: "That girl is interested in you, and you two are in love with each other. It's important to hurry up and have a child as soon as possible!"

Have a baby?

This reminded Lin Jiangnian of what Lin Hengzhong had said to him before.

"The situation in the imperial court is serious now. Only if you and her give birth to a child can the imperial court and your relationship with Prince Lin be united in the future!"

"This is not only for the future of Prince Lin's Mansion, but also for the future of the people of the Daning Dynasty!"

Senior Li's expression gradually became serious. He looked at Lin Jiangnian and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the safety of the dynasty, and also to protect the people from the invasion and destruction of war in the future..."

"You must have a baby quickly!"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

…

The sun still shines in the attic.

Senior Li still sat where he was and drank the last remaining wine on the table.

Opposite, Lin Jiangnian had left.

Senior Li's rickety figure was hidden in the darkness of the attic, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure with a calm aura appeared quietly and sat where Lin Jiangnian had just been.

"Your Majesty!"

Senior Li slowly raised his eyes.

"When do you plan to leave the mountain?"

Lin Hengzhong spoke calmly.

Senior Li sighed with emotion: "I am an old man, do I still have to work hard now?"

Lin Hengzhong chuckled: "Isn't this the fate of your Li family?"

"This world may not need my Li family!"

Senior Li shook his head slightly and looked at Lin Hengzhong across from him: "Your Majesty now has a strong army and a very high prestige among the people. Most of the southern part of the Daning Dynasty is in the hands of your Majesty. As long as your Majesty wants to, you can make yourself king at any time... even It is not difficult to send troops north to overthrow the Daning Dynasty. Why doesn’t the prince want to be the emperor? "

Lin Hengzhong said happily: "Even if I want to, the people in this world will not recognize me! I don't want to bear the infamy of being a treason and usurping the throne, which will be passed down through the ages!"

Senior Li smiled and said: "History is written by the victors, why should the prince worry.?"

"But people in the world are not fools!"

Lin Hengzhong shook his head slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a deep expression: "If you don't get the right position, you won't be able to sit still even if you win the country!"

"I don't want to leave an eternal infamy to future generations just for this petty profit!"

Senior Li couldn't help but laugh and said: "The throne of the Nine-Fifth Emperor is already a small profit in the eyes of the prince?"

However, Senior Li quickly sighed: "That's right. As a king with a different surname, the prince is in charge of the southern part of the dynasty. He has a lot of troops and power...except for the false name of an emperor, he is not much different from an emperor!"

Lin Hengzhong smiled and said: "If this word gets back to the court, I'm afraid you and I will have our backs stabbed again!"

Senior Li's eyes were deep: "What a pity, that King Xu doesn't understand this truth!"

Lin Hengzhong said calmly: "Back then, the Xu family was only one step away from the throne of the emperor. Naturally, the Xu family was unwilling to accept it. From generation to generation, the throne of the emperor has probably become a knot in their hearts!"

Senior Li's tone was low: "Is it appropriate to cause chaos in the world just for the sake of a false reputation?"

"There is nothing appropriate or inappropriate!"

Lin Hengzhong said calmly: "Emperor Taizu failed to solve the hidden danger of the Xu family back then. Now, it can only be solved by us descendants!"

Senior Li looked slightly solemn: "How is the situation at Xu Hong's side?"

"It should be soon!"

Lin Hengzhong said: "Since the beginning of the year, Xu Hong has taken advantage of the power to suppress the infringements of border tribes and recruited troops without any cover-up!"

"The imperial court has already been alerted. During this period, the imperial court was in chaos."

"What about the prince?" Senior Li looked at Lin Hengzhong.

Lin Hengzhong smiled and said: "Of course I sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. The court has no time to distract me now."

Senior Li asked again: "When does the prince plan to take action?"

Lin Hengzhong looked at him and said with a smile: "Then it depends on you, senior."

Senior Li was silent for a while, looking out the window, through the attic window onto the calm lake outside.

"It seems it's time for me to leave here!"

After a while, he looked away, with a sad smile on his face, and there seemed to be some reluctance in his eyes.

"After so many years, I never thought that one day I would be able to leave here with my old bones!"

Muttering to himself, Senior Li slowly stood up.

As he stood up, the sunlight outside the window slowly fell on him. Senior Li, who had always been stooped and looked very old, stood up straight at some point.

He was still wearing a gray robe and stood quietly in the attic. But the aura on his body seemed to be renewed, with a bit more unpredictable depth!

Senior Li, who had been hiding in Ruyi Tower for more than ten years and was now the emperor's uncle of the Daning Dynasty, finally decided to leave the place where he had been imprisoned.

…

Outside Ruyi Building.

After meeting Senior Li, Lin Jiangnian was ready to leave here.

I plan to leave Linjiang City tomorrow, so I naturally want Senior Li to say hello before leaving.

Fortunately, Lin Jiangnian didn't have many worries in Prince Lin's Mansion, so he was pretty much alone. Before leaving, he first went to pay homage in front of Princess Lin's mausoleum, and then came to Ruyi Tower to meet Senior Li.

Next, he plans to go to the Xu family and meet the girl Xu Lan before leaving.

By the way, he went to visit his future father-in-law whom he had barely met!

In any case, that girl Xu Lan is now following him wholeheartedly. To be honest, I have to tell her before leaving this time.

This trip to the Jiang family was, firstly, to visit Mr. Jiang on behalf of Prince Lin, and secondly, to bring Zhiyuan back to Prince Lin’s Mansion to discuss the matter of getting married!

It is estimated that it will take two or three months to go back and forth. If nothing happens, it will be the autumn season when we come back!

By then, it will also be a good day to get married!

After coming out of Ruyi Tower and crossing Sun Moon Lake, Lin Jiangnian was about to leave when he suddenly ran into two figures appearing in the woods near the lake not far away.

It is beauty and tranquility!

The weather is good today. The trees are thick with leaves, covering up the scorching sunshine and giving them a bit of coolness.

Jinxiu in a gorgeous brocade dress, and a girl in a plain white dress holding a sword walking among the woods.

The difference in personality between the two sisters can also be seen from the clothes they wear. Jinxiu has a lively personality, is outgoing and enthusiastic, and has an elegant temperament. Therefore, her clothes are always very bright and enthusiastic, in bright reds and purples.

However, when these seemingly vulgar elements appear on her, they can actually highlight her personality, and at the same time cover up her slightly immature and tender temperament, making her look like a dignified, elegant and quiet lady from a wealthy family.

As for An Ning, she was dressed much more simply, wearing plain clothes all year round and being extremely low-key.

Perhaps, as Jinxiu said, An Ning likes to imitate her own princess, so her clothes and personality are similar to those of the princess. But her personality is not as cold and thorough as that of the princess, which makes her imitation a little lame.

Especially in the face of Jinxiu's provocation, it is easy to be exposed.

Then she became angry and returned to the childishness of her girlish heart.

At the moment, the two were walking in the woods and happened to run into Lin Jiangnian.

"Your Highness?!"

When Jinxiu saw Lin Jiangnian, her beautiful eyes immediately brightened, a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she walked up with a brisk pace.

"Why is Your Highness here?!"

"I went to Ruyi Tower."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the two of them: "Why are you here?"

"I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk!"

A sweet smile appeared on Jinxiu's face, and the two dimples looked very attractive: "Aren't we leaving soon? Come and take a look, I don't know when I will have the chance to come again next time!"

"You can come anytime you want!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled, raised his eyes to An Ning who was standing not far away, and asked: "An Ning, how is your injury?"

An Ning stood in the woods not far away, slightly turned his body, and ignored Lin Jiangnian. The girl's cold face was vaguely visible, her cherry lips were slightly pursed, and she said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian sighed secretly, this girl has a problem!

When she saw him just now, the girl deliberately avoided his gaze.

Now, she is still silent!

It seems that she is deliberately avoiding and ignoring him.

It has been a long time since the last time the girl cried so hard!

What's wrong with this girl?

Jinxiu, who was standing next to Lin Jiangnian, looked at An Ning who was silent, and then looked at His Highness. A hint of complexity flashed across her eyes, and then disappeared.

She said softly: "An Ning is fine!"

"That's good."

Lin Jiangnian nodded. He wanted to say something to An Ning, but seeing that An Ning ignored her, he could only give up temporarily.

"I have something else to do. I won't bother you anymore!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand.

"Your Highness, please go."

Jinxiu nodded slightly.

After His Highness left, Jinxiu stood there, watching His Highness's figure disappear and leave, and then turned around and looked at An Ning standing in the woods not far away.

Her eyes were slightly complicated, and she sighed faintly, with an indescribable strange feeling in her tone.

"Your performance is too obvious... His Highness will definitely guess it!"

Hearing this, An Ning, who had been silent all the time, seemed to tremble slightly.

Jinxiu's eyes were dim, as if she was a little jealous: "Since you like His Highness, why..."

"I don't like him!"

Before Jinxiu finished speaking, An Ning, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted her.

There seemed to be a trace of panic on that beautiful, yet tense little face.

"You can fool others, but you can't fool me. You just like His Highness..."

"I don't!"

"You do!"

"I don't!"

"You do!"

"No!"
