son, don't mess around

After sending the kite out of the city and heading north, Lin Jiangnian returned to the Jiang residence first.

At this moment, the mansion was brightly lit.

The spies planted by the Prince Lin's Mansion in the capital reported on the situation in the city. Inside and outside the Jiang Mansion, there were guards from the Prince Lin's Mansion everywhere, hidden in the darkness, protecting the safety of the Jiang Mansion.

Meanwhile, Fengling, who had been assigned by Zhiyuan to stay at the Jiang residence, had already arranged a carriage and planned a route, ready to evacuate at any time.

However, when Lin Jiangnian returned to the Jiang residence, he told her that she no longer needed to make preparations. At the same time, he also brought bad news to Fengling, who was staying at the Jiang residence... her twin sister, Jasmine, had gone to the front lines with Zhiyuan and would not be returning for the time being.

Upon hearing the news, Fengling was somewhat bewildered.

"My sister went to the front lines?"

Feng Ling was somewhat stunned, her gaze blank, and she couldn't help but subconsciously look at Lin Jiangnian, tentatively asking, "Your Highness, then, what about me?"

"how?"

"My sister went to the front lines with Paper Kite, so what should I do?" Wind Chime asked cautiously.

She was naturally the kind of person who was delicate and pitiful. She was also petite in appearance. Although she had learned martial arts from Zhiyuan over the past year and had gained some of the demeanor of a martial arts master, at her core, she was still the timid and cowardly little wind chime she used to be.

Right now, I still feel somewhat uneasy in front of Lin Jiangnian.

Her delicate face was filled with trepidation, and she shifted her body slightly to hide her nervousness.

Lin Jiangnian saw through her thoughts and smiled, "Your sister and Zhiyuan have gone to take care of something very important. They will be back when they are done. You can stay here for now and take good care of the Jiang residence."

"Oh."

Lin Jiangnian's words left Fengling somewhat disappointed.

At the same time, there was also a sense of loss.

She grew up with her older sister from a young age. Even when she was sold to a brothel and later bought by the Gao family, she was still raised with her sister.

Those who bought the sisters were naturally attracted by their sisterly relationship.

After all, the gimmick of twins often attracts the interest of high-ranking officials and wealthy people.

Therefore, the two have been inseparable since childhood and have never been apart. But this time, the older sister went to the front line with Paper Kite, leaving her here, which made Wind Chime feel somewhat lost.

At the same time, Fengling felt increasingly uneasy.

Why was she the only one left behind when her older sister went with Paper Kite to do something very important?
Could it be that His Highness and Sister Paper Kite disliked her because she was not capable enough and could not compare to her sister, so they abandoned her here alone?
That must be it.

Thinking this, Fengling felt even more depressed. Head drooping, like a wilted eggplant, she looked utterly listless.

Lin Jiangnian could tell that the little maid was in a bad mood, but he didn't say anything more.

"It's getting late, you should go and get some rest too."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the sky; it was still dark. It had snowed all night, leaving everything covered in white, and a biting wind howled.

Tonight, many people in the palace will probably be unable to sleep. Especially Elder Li and Prime Minister Zhao, they will likely be the busiest people.

Before her death, Li Cining entrusted the reins of power in the court to the two of them. Whether the eldest princess could successfully ascend the throne depended entirely on their performance in court.

In contrast, Lin Jiangnian had a much more leisurely life.

These matters are none of his concern for the time being. As the son of a vassal king, with the emperor's passing, the more low-key he is, the better.

As for everything else, we'll have to wait until the eldest princess ascends the throne.

"Then, Your Highness, shall I go and make your bed?"

Upon hearing His Highness say that he wanted to rest, Fengling was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly spoke up.

"Need not……"

Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to refuse, he saw Feng Ling drooping her head, looking dejected and pitiful.

He paused before he could finish his sentence, then said, "Okay, fine."

Upon hearing this, Fengling immediately raised her head, a glint of light appearing in her eyes, as if she were excited and joyful.

"Then, I'll go right now."

As she spoke, Fengling couldn't wait to run off and make the bed for His Highness.

He looked quite happy.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Jiangnian didn't say much. As the heir apparent of the Prince of Lin, he naturally had maids to serve him in all his daily needs. After arriving in the capital this time, Lin Jiangnian didn't bring Xiaozhu or any other maids with him. Zhiyuan was in charge of taking care of his daily life.

However, Lin Jiangnian was not the kind of person who needed even his clothes to be served. On ordinary days, the maids in his mansion would just help clean the rooms and make the beds.

There were quite a few servants in the Jiang residence, but none of the maids and servants were allowed into Lin Jiangnian's room. Previously, Zhiyuan had been tidying up the room, but after Zhiyuan left today, Fengling clearly remembered Zhiyuan's teachings and took the initiative to help His Highness tidy up the bed.

Although Jasmine and Wind Chime both followed Paper Kite, they both kept their identities in mind. They were taken in by the Crown Prince, and both in name and in reality, they belonged to the Crown Prince.

Therefore, taking care of the Crown Prince's daily life was also the responsibility of the two sisters.

For Jasmine and Wind Chime, His Highness was their savior, rescuing them from dire straits. Without His Highness, they might still be trapped in the Gao family, or perhaps given away to become playthings... that was their original fate.

But now, they have regained their freedom, no longer needing to feign compliance to please others, no longer needing to sell their bodies and souls.

Jasmine and Wind Chime were naturally extremely grateful to His Highness, and their gratitude was tinged with a degree of reverence.

For Fengling, His Highness was the kindest person in the world to her, besides her older sister and Paper Kite.

Therefore, Fengling has always wanted to find an opportunity to properly repay His Highness.

As a maid nominally taken in by His Highness, she should have taken good care of His Highness's daily life. However, since His Highness is always taken care of by others, it's never Fengling's turn.

This time, His Highness came to the capital without any other maids by his side. In addition, she learned that Sister Zhiyuan and her sister had left the capital and would not be returning for a while. Fengling was indeed a little disappointed at first, thinking that she was being suspected because she was useless. Therefore, she wanted to perform well and took the initiative to take care of and serve His Highness.

Unexpectedly, His Highness agreed.

This made Fengling realize that with both Sister Zhiyuan and Sister Moli gone, the responsibility of taking care of His Highness had fallen on her shoulders.

Therefore, Fengling secretly resolved to serve His Highness well and repay His Highness's great kindness!
……

When Lin Jiangnian returned to his room in the inner courtyard, he saw that the lights were on and Feng Ling was diligently tidying up the room and making the bed for him.

The room was spotless, and the fire in the center of the room burned brightly, making the whole room warm and cozy. Behind the screen, the bedding was spread out neatly on the bed.

It's clear that these two sisters were raised to be very sensible. They were not only skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but also adept at taking care of their daily needs.

This is like finding a treasure!

"Your Highness, the bed is ready!"

The soft sound of wind chimes came from the side. She stood timidly to the side, her blue and white velvet dress making her figure appear extremely petite.

"Well done."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, offering his praise.

Fengling lowered her head shyly, a blush rising on her delicate face.

Then, as if remembering something, she quickly took small steps to Lin Jiangnian's side, her face slightly flushed, and whispered, "Your Highness, let me help you undress."

As she spoke, Fengling took a deep breath, as if she had mustered some courage, and carefully reached out to help Lin Jiangnian take off his clothes. However, her outstretched hand trembled slightly, and she accidentally touched the wrong place.

It's clear she's unfamiliar with this business.

"no need."

Lin Jiangnian noticed the girl's nervousness and unease and stopped her, saying, "You should go back and rest too."

Upon hearing this, Fengling paused for a moment, then a look of panic appeared on her face: "This, how can this be..."

"Your Highness, I can do it."

The wind chime wanted to prove itself, but the more it tried, the more flustered it became, and the more chaotic it became.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but smile.

This little girl is quite interesting.

Hearing His Highness laugh, Fengling blushed with nervousness, feeling completely at a loss. Her heart was pounding so hard she felt like crying.

Lin Jiangnian sighed and said, "Alright, I know you can do it. However, this young master is not used to having his clothes taken off by others, so there's no need for you to serve me like this."

Hearing this, Fengling's face grew even more ashamed. She lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I... I..."

"Alright, I didn't mean to blame you. You did very well tonight."

"Really? Really?" Wind Chime was a little unsure.

"What are you lying to?"

Lin Jiangnian said, "Alright, go and rest. It's getting late, it's almost dawn."

Hearing that His Highness didn't blame her, Fengling breathed a slight sigh of relief. But she remained standing there, head bowed.

"What? You don't want to leave? Do you want to stay and serve this young master in bed?"

Lin Jiangnian said it casually.

I must say, this little wind chime in front of me is quite pretty, with a petite body and delicate, pretty face, it has a unique charm.

The fact that these two sisters were nurtured from a young age speaks volumes about their excellence. In terms of appearance, these sisters are certainly not lacking in beauty.

Although the girl in front of me is not very old, she is definitely a beauty in the making, and she has gradually blossomed over the past year. She still looks quite young, but her eyes and brows are full of girlish charm, as well as an aura of stunning beauty that is beyond her years.

She has the same youthful charm as Xiaozhu when she was a budding flower, but compared to Xiaozhu, Fengling has a more mature and feminine air.

How to describe it?
Naturally alluring!

Those who have studied it are simply different.

Lin Jiangnian had only said it casually, just to tease the girl. He thought she would blush and run away in embarrassment after hearing it.

Unexpectedly, Fengling did not leave after hearing Lin Jiangnian's words. Instead, she stood there, as if she was struggling with something.

Her fingers were intertwined, her head was slightly lowered, and her face was flushed. As if she had made up her mind, she carefully raised her head, revealing her delicate and beautiful face with watery eyes.

Despite her young age, a captivating charm was evident in her features. Her beautiful eyes, clear yet tinged with shyness, sparkled as she gently bit her lower lip: "If Your Highness desires it, this servant..."

"This servant is willing to serve Your Highness tonight."

hiss……

Lin Jiangnian gasped, looking at the girl in front of him with disbelief.

What a little devil!
If it's like this now, what will it be like in the future?

Lin Jiangnian's heart skipped a beat when he heard Fengling say that she was willing to serve him tonight.

I only wanted to tease this little girl a bit, but I didn't expect to be teased instead?
No wonder they've studied it.

This young girl knows how to capture a man's heart at such a young age!
Looking into Fengling's watery, pitiful eyes, what man could resist her charm?

Such a pretty, obedient, and well-behaved little maidservant really makes one want to ruthlessly torment her.

The kind that ravages you until you cry and beg for mercy.

"just kidding."

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile, "Zhiyuan just left. If I were to make a move against you now, she would definitely be angry with me later."

Strictly speaking, Jasmine and Wind Chime are now both Paper Kite's people. Although Paper Kite won't say anything, if Lin Jiangnian really secretly eats Wind Chime, Paper Kite will definitely be angry with him when she finds out.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling blinked her bright eyes and then whispered, "Your Highness, don't worry, at worst..."

Fengling bit her lip, her bright eyes darting around: "This servant can secretly serve Your Highness, and then not tell Sister Zhiyuan, wouldn't that be fine?"

"If Sister Paper Kite doesn't know, she won't be angry with His Highness!"

Lin Jiangnian looked bewildered as he looked at the wind chime in front of him, which was winking at him with a serious expression but a playful tone.

"Wow, you really are a little genius!"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but say, "This wind chime looks so honest, but I didn't expect it to be such a little surprise."

What will happen when you grow up?

Lin Jiangnian raised an eyebrow: "You mean, you're going to trick Zhiyuan?"

Fengling lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed and shy: "Your Highness saved my life, so naturally I will obey Your Highness. If Your Highness is worried that Sister Zhiyuan will be angry, I can keep it a secret... Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely not tell anyone."

As she spoke, Fengling covered her mouth, as if to say, "I must be keeping my mouth shut."

"Tsk!"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, having studied makes all the difference."

This little wind chime has such a lovely sound!
Although he knew it was the little girl's trick, Lin Jiangnian was still quite pleased.

Who could resist such a sweet, adorable, and obedient little girl?

Besides, she has an equally beautiful older sister.
Sisters...

Lin Jiangnian sighed inwardly, reaching out to pinch Fengling's cheek. Her skin was delicate and felt wonderful to the touch. Fengling blushed even more, her shyness showing, but she didn't react at all, obediently like a porcelain doll, letting Lin Jiangnian indulge in his fondling.

After kneading for a while, Lin Jiangnian withdrew his hand: "Alright, let's talk about it next time. It's really too late today, and I have important business to attend to tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling was startled. The color drained from her face instantly, and she became anxious and uneasy. Before she could say anything, she heard Lin Jiangnian's voice again: "Don't worry, next time I have time, I will definitely come and test how well you serve me."

Upon hearing this, Fengling paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked up to meet His Highness's burning and unrestrained gaze.

Feng Ling suddenly felt her body go weak, and her face flushed crimson. But at the same time, her emotions surged even more intensely…

"it is good."

She spoke softly and nodded vigorously.
