Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

#690 - Paper Kite and Xu Chaoge

In the pavilion in the backyard of the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yuxiang paced back and forth, waiting for a long time.

"Why haven't you come out yet?!"

Jiang Yuxiang stopped and looked towards the room ahead with a little uneasiness on her delicate face.

Feeling uneasy.

"Will there be a quarrel?"

That brat has a bad temper. If the grandfather and grandson start quarreling over something, they might cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help but step out of the pavilion, come under the eaves, and approach the door.

But just as he got closer, he stopped again.

"No, there shouldn't be a quarrel, right?"

Jiang Yuxiang listened carefully and did not hear any noisy sounds coming from the room, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But after so much time, there was still no movement, which made her hesitate whether to go in and check the situation?

Just when Jiang Yuxiang was hesitating.

“Squeak!”

The door opened and Lin Jiangnian walked out of the room.

Jiang Yuxiang quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is he coming out?"

"Um."

"You and the old man..."

Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help but look back into the room, but saw nothing. Then she looked at Lin Jiangnian's reaction and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"No quarrel?"

"Why are you arguing?" Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised.

"The old man didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

At this point, Jiang Yuxiang's face became slightly solemn: "If he embarrasses you, tell me and I'll go and settle the score with him!"

Seeing Jiang Yuxiang's serious anger, Lin Jiangnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What a loving father and filial daughter!

"How could that be? I had a very pleasant meeting with my grandpa, and he loved me very much!"

"Very fond of it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang immediately sneered and didn't believe it at all.

How is that possible?

The old man had never said a good word all day long. He would always scold Lin Hengzhong and even Lin Jiangnian.

How could it be possible to like it so much?

"etc……"

But just as he thought of this, Jiang Yuxiang's expression suddenly froze again.

Then, he stared at Lin Jiangnian suspiciously: "What did you call him just now?"

"how?"

Jiang Yuxiang narrowed his eyes suddenly: "Grandpa?"

"Any questions?"

"no……"

Jiang Yuxiang was stunned and stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time.

After a while, a look of realization appeared on his face: "You little brat, you are quite scheming!"

"What do you mean?"

"Good at flattering people!"

Jiang Yuxiang sighed, she understood something.

"I don't understand what you are saying, auntie!"

Lin Jiangnian looked puzzled.

"Stop pretending, kid!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered and looked at him: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning."

"Although the old man has a bad temper, he is not completely unreasonable. What's more..."

At this point, Jiang Yuxiang looked at Lin Jiangnian's face and sighed softly: "You look so much like your sister, the old man will definitely be able to tell."

"You calling him grandpa must have made him smile with joy."

Jiang Yuxiang muttered: "No wonder the old man didn't scold you."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Do you still want grandpa to scold me?"

"Of course not!"

Jiang Yuxiang curled her lips: "He scolds me all day long, why doesn't he scold you?"

Fourth Miss Jiang felt unbalanced.

I didn't expect that Jiang Yuxiang, who used to pretend to be mature in front of me, actually had such a petty side.

"By the way, where's the kite?"

At this time, Lin Jiangnian asked about the main business.

From the time he entered the Jiang Mansion until now and met the old man, his business has come to an end.

It’s time to do other things!

But until now, there is still no news of the kite.

"She is not at home."

"Where did you go?"

"have no idea."

"Aunt, you don't know where she went?"

"What else?"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at him and said, "If even you don't care about her whereabouts, why should I care?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. From Jiang Yuxiang's tone, it seemed that she was angry.

"Aunt, stop making trouble. Just tell me where she is."

"I don't know, go find it yourself!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted and rolled her eyes at Lin Jiangnian: "You don't look like you care about her at all."

"Look for it if you can, forget it if you can't find it!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuxiang flicked her sleeves lightly, turned around, and left with brisk steps, seemingly in a good mood.

…

Yangzhou Jianglou.

The mighty river flows from outside the city into the city, dividing the huge Chujiang City into several sections. The river flows slowly down. In midsummer, the sunset glow in the sky is reflected in the river, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.

From time to time, boats passed slowly on the river, and the setting sun set off this beautiful moment. Above the courtyard buildings on the river, soft sounds slowly and melodiously sounded.

It’s a little quiet on the top floor.

The surroundings were empty, with only a tea table placed there. At this moment, two figures were sitting beside the table.

A graceful woman in a long gauze dress was sitting beside the tea table.

She was about her teens, the age when a girl is about to blossom, with delicate features, beautiful contours, and a cold face without any makeup, which was stunning to everyone.

Sitting there, there was an indescribable air of coolness and detachment.

A long gauze dress, simple yet extraordinary, reveals the girl's graceful figure.

She had a cold expression, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip from her red lips, put the cup down, and looked up at the figure sitting opposite her.

His expression was calm and his tone was neither cold nor indifferent: “You shouldn’t have come to see me.”

Opposite the girl, there sat a handsome man of similar age!

To be precise, it should be a girl dressed as a man!

A face that is also extremely delicate and exquisite, with red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and fair skin, looking like a handsome man. But if you look closely, you can see that the long curved eyelashes, thin lips, and beautiful nose cannot hide his delicateness.

She was dressed in the long blue robe of a scholar, and looked like a man. However, her slightly round and full breasts, which could not be completely covered under the robe, completely betrayed her identity.

It's a woman!

At this moment, the girl dressed as a man showed a playful look on her face. She put away the swaying folding fan with her right hand and raised her eyebrows: "Why shouldn't I look for you?"

Zhiyuan lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her quietly, and said calmly: "I will kill you."

"Really?"

She chuckled but shook her head: "I don't believe it."

"You will never kill me."

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but just looked at her calmly and with a little coldness.

"You don't have to be so hostile to me. I know what you are investigating... and I just happen to know a little bit of inside information..."

She paused and said, "Do you want to know?"

"In no mood."

Zhiyuan's answer was cool and crisp.

“That’s a pity!”

She chuckled, seeming a little regretful.

"It seems that I have to go and talk to him in person."

As soon as these words came out, Zhiyuan's eyes changed significantly, and they became very sharp: "What is your purpose?!"

She smiled sweetly at Zhiyuan: "Guess?!"

"Bang!"

Zhiyuan had a blank expression on her face and slapped the tea table in front of the two of them.

The next second, a crack appeared on the tea table.

A crack emerged from the center of the tea table, spreading instantly and approaching her. She looked calm, and suddenly waved the folding fan in her hand, slapping it on the tea table. Another crack appeared, and it touched that crack.

“Snap!”

In an instant, the tea table broke into pieces.

The air was filled with a thick cloud of dust as the two men stood facing each other.

Zhiyuan's eyes were cold, full of hostility and vigilance.

"It seems that you really care about him?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She said in a playful tone: "Are you worried that I might harm him?"

Zhiyuan stared at him coldly: "You'd better stay away from him."

"What if I don't?"

Her tone remained calm, as if she was deliberately provoking him.

However, Zhiyuan did not expect him to be as furious as she imagined. He just looked at her coldly and looked away.

Turn around and prepare to leave.

"I heard that he has arrived in Yangzhou City today."

The kite, who was about to turn around, suddenly paused and stopped.

"But he didn't come to you right away. Aren't you curious?"

Her voice continued.

The kite stood there, motionless.

"There are so many women around her, you are just one of them, and... you are just a maid."

The corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Compared to that eldest princess, you are just an insignificant maid. In his eyes, you are probably not important."

Seeing Zhiyuan standing there motionless, a smug sneer emerged in her heart. When she was about to continue speaking, she heard Zhiyuan speak calmly and indifferently.

"He's here."

She was startled and was unable to react for a moment.

Then, the sound of footsteps approaching was heard.

She suddenly raised her head and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

The next second, a familiar figure appeared in sight.

"Lin Jiangnian?!"

On the upper floor of the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian walked in slowly.

His gaze first fell on the graceful figure in the veil in front of him.

Then, I couldn't look away.

And Zhiyuan in the courtyard building happened to be looking at him. When their eyes met, neither of them spoke. At this moment, it seemed as if thousands of words were brewing.

Lin Jiangnian stopped and looked at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure in front of him.

After not seeing you for half a year, the kite has become even more beautiful!

The girl gradually grew up and became a graceful lady. At the same time, her cold temperament disappeared like ice and snow the moment she saw Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian looked at the girl in front of him whom he had been thinking about day and night for many days, feeling filled with emotion.

There were many things I wanted to say, but they suddenly stopped at this moment.

"I am coming."

In the end, everything he wanted to say was combined into these three simple words.

"Um."

Zhiyuan nodded slightly and spoke concisely.

The girl's delicate face seemed calm, but her bright eyes betrayed her current emotions.

Lin Jiangnian walked slowly towards him.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The appearance of Zhiyuan became clearer and clearer in my sight, as if in a trance.

"Kite..."

He spoke softly, as if he wanted to say something.

"You, how did you know I was here?"

Zhiyuan spoke softly, seeming a little confused.

"My aunt told me."

Lin Jiangnian answered.

Although Jiang Yuxiang had previously been angry and asked Lin Jiangnian to find the whereabouts of the kite by himself, but under Lin Jiangnian's persistence, she finally told him where the kite was.

Zhiyuan heard this, remained silent, and nodded slightly.

Just when Lin Jiangnian was about to say something, he finally heard a dull and slightly angry voice coming from the side.

"You two are being so affectionate with each other. You don't take me seriously at all, right?!"

The voice was angry and a bit resentful.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly raised his head, his eyes falling on the figure of a woman dressed as a man beside him. When he saw the other person's face clearly, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes suddenly: "It's you?!"

"Why are you here?!"

Lin Jiangnian stared at the woman dressed as a man in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

He is not unfamiliar with this person!

This familiar face, isn't it the princess of Xuzhou whom I met twice in the capital in the past...Xu Chaoge? !

Why is she here?!

How come I see a kite here?

As if realizing something, Lin Jiangnian suddenly turned around and looked at Zhiyuan, but saw that Zhiyuan had a calm expression and nodded slightly at him.

Lin Jiangnian understood everything immediately.

"Why? Can't this princess come?"

Princess Xu, dressed in scholarly attire, had a playful look on her face. She stared at Lin Jiangnian for a few seconds, then walked slowly forward, smiling.

Lin Jiangnian frowned slightly, then relaxed.

"Princess Xu can come, of course, but..."

Lin Jiangnian paused and said, "My princess, you shouldn't be in Xuzhou planning a rebellion right now. How can you still have the time to hang out here?"

After these words were spoken, Ming Xu Chaoge's expression changed slightly, as if he did not expect Lin Jiangnian to be so straightforward.

But she quickly narrowed her eyes again: "Your Highness, you are joking. My Xu family has been loyal to the court for generations. How could we commit a rebellion?"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "If you have the guts, do you want to swear an oath on the lives of your entire family?"

Xu Chaoge: “…”

The smile on her face froze for a moment, then gradually recovered. She stared at Lin Jiangnian and said with a fake smile, "Your Highness really knows how to joke."

"I'm not joking with you."

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiangnian stared at her seriously and said, "You said that your Xu family would not rebel, but you swore a poisonous oath?"

"Why? Don't you dare?"

Xu Chaoge's breathing gradually became rapid, and his chest, which could not be covered by his Confucian robe, suddenly rose and fell, as if it was about to jump out.

Obviously very angry.

She bit her teeth lightly, as if she had not expected the other party to give her any face at all.

"Your Highness, we are all smart people. Why do we need to pretend to be ignorant when we know the truth?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Aren't you the one pretending to be confused?"

"Since you've already planned to rebel, why are you still hiding it?!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "If I were you, I would just admit it!"

"What's the big deal?"

Xu Chaoge: “…”

Direct admission?

He can say it!

Who would admit to treason?

That is a capital crime!
