son, don't mess around

"Bah, shameless!"

Zhao Xi blushed with embarrassment and irritation, and slapped his hand away, saying in an annoyed tone, "Take it away from me, don't touch me anymore..."

"If you're so capable, go teach my father a lesson. What kind of person bullies a weak woman like me?"

"what?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at her in surprise: "Last time you said you wouldn't let me discipline your father, why have you changed your mind this time?"

Zhao Xi glanced at him and said, "If you're so capable, then go ahead and see who teaches whom a lesson."

Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and quickly understood.

"Tsk, you really have the smug look of a petty person who has gotten their way."

Lin Jiangnian said happily.

Zhao Xi was worried that Lin Jiangnian would harm her father because Lin Jiangnian, as the heir of the Prince of Lin, acted extremely arbitrarily.

Despite her father being the current prime minister, Zhao Xi had no doubt that this scoundrel didn't even respect the current emperor, let alone her father.

But things are different now!

Now that the emperor has passed away, Prime Minister Zhao holds immense power in the court, becoming a true powerful minister. With Prime Minister Zhao's current influence, even Prince Lin has to show him some respect, let alone Lin Jiangnian.

This scoundrel may act as he pleases, but he doesn't do things recklessly.

This is the capital city after all. Even if this scoundrel wants to cause trouble, he may not be able to gain the upper hand against Prime Minister Zhao.

Of course, more importantly...

Zhao Xi already knows about the plan between Lin Jiangnian and the Eldest Princess... The Prince Lin's Mansion intends to support the Eldest Princess to ascend the throne.

At this critical juncture, her father was a pillar of the court, the only one capable of maintaining order. Therefore, Lin Jiangnian naturally couldn't cause trouble for him.

Let alone causing trouble, if something were to happen to her father at this time, this guy in front of her would probably be more worried than she, his daughter.

That's why Zhao Xi is so fearless.

"What happened?"

Zhao Xi slightly raised her delicate chin, a hint of smugness appearing in her beautiful eyes. But this smugness was quickly overshadowed by a surge of embarrassment and annoyance.

"You're still touching me? You...you're still sticking it in?!"

Zhao Xi's tone quickly changed. This scoundrel started touching her the moment he arrived; he's a complete pervert.

She angrily pinched the bastard, but he seemed completely impervious to pain, and it had no effect whatsoever.

Lin Jiangnian felt the fullness in his palms as he looked at the desk in front of Zhao Xi: "Hey, what are you writing?"

Zhao Xi was still trying to stop this scoundrel from 'violating' her when she suddenly realized something, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly stopped him, saying in embarrassment, "Don't look."

She tried to tidy up the things on the table in a panic, but it was too late. Lin Jiangnian's gaze swept over the paper, taking in the contents.

"Tsk!"

Lin Jiangnian raised an eyebrow: "Writing a love letter to this young master?"

"love letter?!"

Zhao Xi was taken aback. When did she write a love letter?
But when she glanced back and saw Lin Jiangnian's amused expression, she immediately realized what was going on.

"Love letter my foot!"

"You still say it's not a love letter? I saw it all. You were secretly writing a love letter to me, the young master."

"no!"

"You still won't admit it? I saw my name on it!"

Lin Jiangnian pretended to snatch it: "Then let me see it."

"No!"

Zhao Xi quickly crumpled the Xuan paper in her hand into a ball and then hid it tightly in her palm, preventing Lin Jiangnian from succeeding.

Lin Jiangnian wasn't really trying to steal it; he just wanted to scare her. He hadn't expected Zhao Xi to react so strongly. Now, she was busy preventing Lin Jiangnian from seeing what she had written and couldn't stop his 'intrusion'.

So, Lin Jiangnian, with his hands free, picked up Zhao Xi and placed her on his lap.

Zhao Xi didn't struggle, but glared at him angrily and embarrassedly: "What are you doing?!"

"miss you."

Lin Jiang said in a young voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Xi's heart softened a little. But then she glanced down and realized something, letting out a cold laugh: "Do you miss me, or do you miss my body?"

"I want both."

"Not necessarily."

Zhao Xi glanced at him: "Your Highness is surrounded by beauties, how could you possibly remember me?"

"You're doing it again, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian knew she was about to start causing trouble again, so he increased the pressure on his palm and pinched her hard. This caused Zhao Xi to let out a soft cry, clutching her chest and glaring at him in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Did I say something wrong? Aren't you surrounded by beauties, with one on each side of the Crown Prince? I bet you only think of me when your lust takes over?"

Doesn't that prove you're very charming?

"Ha, you think I believe you?"

Zhao Xi didn't believe this scoundrel's nonsense at all: "What? You suddenly have time to come see me tonight? Don't your two wives at home have any objections?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who else could it be?"

Zhao Xi said meaningfully, "Of course, it's your twin sisters at home."

"Tsk, where are the twin sisters..."

At this point, Zhao Xi seemed to remember something, and her tone changed: "The two sisters served Your Highness together, sleeping under the same quilt, the two sisters making love together... Did Your Highness feel twice as happy?"

"Do you want to know?"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Want to join us? Let you experience it too?"

"Pooh!"

Zhao Xi blushed immediately: "You wish!"

"I... I would never die, so give up on that idea."

How could Zhao Xi not know what this scoundrel was thinking?

Want to recruit her?
Four people?
The thought of that scene made Zhao Xi tremble all over, and she dared not think about it any longer.

Don't even think about it!
She would never agree to that, even if it meant her death.

Beautiful him.

"Don't be so sure of yourself," Lin Jiangnian clicked his tongue.

Zhiyuan and Liusu, who never imagined they would sit down and have a proper conversation, are now sleeping in the same bed.
As the saying goes, one must have dreams.

"you dare?"

Zhao Xi saw through his thoughts and said with shame and anger, "If you dare... dare to do something reckless, I, I will never forgive you."

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, just chuckled twice. After scaring Zhao Xi half to death, he slowly said, "The two of them are no longer in the capital."

"Not here?"

Zhao Xi was taken aback and looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

"gone."

"Where did you go?"

"Both of them have left the capital."

Lin Jiangnian spoke up, saying that Liu Su had left the Jiang residence alone after that night and her whereabouts were currently unknown. Strangely, Lin Jiangnian had set up many spies in the Prince Lin's residence outside the capital a year ago. No matter how well Liu Su hid herself, she should have given herself away eventually.

But for some reason, there has been no news of her whereabouts.

As for the kite, she traveled north at breakneck speed to the front lines to deliver the edict of succession. Judging by the time, she should be arriving soon.

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"She went to deliver the edict of succession to Piaomiao?"

Zhao Xi's face showed a look of astonishment.

"Did she bring it up herself?" Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"no……"

Zhao Xi was a little confused and surprised. As if she had thought of something, she looked at Lin Jiangnian with a curious expression, seemingly amazed: "You got her?"

"What do you mean?"

"She accepted the ethereal realm?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Probably not."

"Then why would she volunteer to deliver the edict of succession to Piaomiao?"

Zhao Xi couldn't understand why Jiang Zhiyuan and Li Piaomiao shouldn't be rivals.

The two of them are definitely rivals in love!
One was this scoundrel's nominal fiancée, and the other was his nominal maid, but in reality, she was the woman with the closest relationship to this scoundrel.

Even if they weren't sworn enemies, they shouldn't have taken the initiative to help deliver the edict of succession... Something's not right!

This is very wrong!
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xi quickly realized something. She suddenly stared at Lin Jiangnian with a burning gaze: "You and Piaomiao... have already slept together, right?"

"Uh...didn't you already know?" Lin Jiangnian was puzzled; why was she asking this again?

Is it trying to bring up old grievances?
"I understand!"

Zhao Xi seemed to understand something, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "I know why she took the initiative to deliver the edict of succession."

"you know?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her in surprise: "Why?"

Zhao Xi looked at him without saying a word. For some reason, a resentful expression appeared on her face, a mixture of grievance and sullenness.

"No, what's wrong with you now?" Lin Jiangnian was even more confused.

"Besides delivering the edict of succession, she probably went to Piaomiao to verify something."

"what's up?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Xi glared at him. What else could it be?

Lin Jiangnian was still confused. What kind of riddle was this woman playing on him?
How to verify something?
What could it be?

"Humph!"

Zhao Xi snorted heavily, suddenly finding the scoundrel very displeasing and not wanting to pay him any attention.

Lin Jiangnian sighed and coaxed, "Why don't you just say what you want to say? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"My pleasure!"

Zhao Xi wasn't in a good mood, but she still asked sullenly and irritably, "I'm asking you, what are the conditions for your Prince Lin's Mansion and the imperial court's plan to support the eldest princess's ascension to the throne this time?"

"condition?"

Lin Jiangnian looked puzzled and was about to ask Zhao Xi why she was asking this, but then a sudden flash of inspiration seemed to make him understand something.

Zhao Xi glanced at him and sneered, "Now that the Emperor has passed away, it's time for Piaomiao to ascend the throne. Your Linwang Mansion's plan is about to succeed. At this time, what can Jiang Zhiyuan do by taking the initiative to deliver the edict of succession?"

"Isn't it just to see if Piaomiao is pregnant with your child?"

"This is probably the real purpose of her trip."

After Zhao Xi's analysis, Lin Jiangnian suddenly understood.

Is that the case?

The kite went to test whether Piaomiao was pregnant.
Was it for the sake of the Prince Lin's residence, or... did he have other intentions?
Lin Jiangnian had a strange feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on. Just then, he heard a cold laugh from beside him: "You must be feeling pretty smug right now, don't you?"

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and met Zhao Xi's deep gaze: "You've slept with the future empress of Da Ning, and she'll even bear your children... Tsk, how accomplished are you?"

"She's going to have your child. If word gets out, who wouldn't envy you, the Crown Prince of Lin?"

Lin Jiangnian leaned closer to Zhao Xi, looking at her pretty face, which was almost impossible to hide its sourness: "Are you jealous?"

"No."

"You still say you're not? You're practically wearing your jealousy on your sleeve."

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile, "You don't need to be envious. If you want a child, let's have one together?"

Zhao Xi blushed and said, "You wish! Who said I was going to have your baby?"

"Aren't you going to have children?"

"I won't have children!"

"That's not up to you."

Lin Jiangnian removed the warm hand from Zhao Xi's chest, and with a slight tremor, picked her up and strode towards the bed in the room.

"You, what are you doing?!"

Zhao Xi realized something and struggled, twisting her delicate body.

"Put me down!"

"Of course, it's about having children!"

"I won't give birth! Put me down! Let me go... I'll call for help!"

"Go ahead and scream, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

"You bastard!"

Lin Jiangnian carried Zhao Xi to the familiar battlefield with ease, placed her on the bed, and Zhao Xi tried to get up, but Lin Jiangnian pressed her back down.

……

Under the dim light, Lin Jiangnian knelt on the bed, his palm caressing a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs. The skin was fair and taut, without a single flaw, like a piece of exquisite jade.

Her feet were small and delicate, easily covered by Lin Jiangnian's hand. The soles were pink and slightly arched due to tension. The skin on the back of her feet was white and thin as a cicada's wing, and even the blood vessels on it could be clearly seen. Her ten toes were exquisite and rounded, and slightly taut.

Following the crystal-clear ankles upwards, there were a pair of beautiful legs even longer than Lin Jiangnian's. Without any clothing to cover them, under the light, the skin of the calves was taut, evenly proportioned, and outlined a long, slender line. The thighs below were even more shapely and quite fleshy.

As for why it was downwards, it was naturally because Lin Jiangnian's perspective was from top to bottom, so he first saw the calves, then the thighs, and then continued to look down along the familiar path.

"No, you can't look anymore..."

Zhao Xi's shy, trembling voice rang out in resistance.

Under the lamplight, her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and she looked ashamed and embarrassed to be seen by anyone.

So she closed her eyes, deceiving herself, one hand covering her chest, the other trying to shield her burning face.

After playing with Mei Mei for a while, Lin Jiangnian finally got down to business.

"Turn off, turn off the lights..."

Zhao Xi's slightly trembling voice rang out.

Lin Jiangnian wouldn't listen.

Turn off the lights. If the lights are off, you can't see anything. Wouldn't that be a waste of these legs?
"you……"

Zhao Xi realized Lin Jiangnian's bad intentions and felt even more ashamed and annoyed.

"You should give birth with the lights on!"

Lin Jiangnian spoke with righteous indignation.

"Who, who wants to have your child?!"

Zhao Xi's face turned even redder. She breathed rapidly, her body swayed slightly, and her palms trembled uncontrollably.

Shaking Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

"Of course it's you!"

"I...I won't give birth...you, um...if you want to give birth, go find your princess..."

Although Zhao Xi said this, her actions gradually became more honest.

She was both ashamed and angry, and pinched Lin Jiangnian hard. Seeing that the scoundrel was still staring at her, she immediately opened her teeth and bit him hard.

"I'll bite you, I'll bite you to death!"

"Ouch, you're hitting me so hard?!"

Under the flickering dim light, Lin Jiangnian's voice, a mixture of pain and delight, could be heard.

These women are all biting really hard!
