Jiang Yi said with a smile, âI didnât know that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was coming. What brings you here?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh, itâs like this. Yesterday, a mishap occurred during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the East Palace, which Iâm afraid might have frightened the Princess Consort of Yu. Soâ¦â
âOh, is Your Highness here to apologize to Seventh Sister?â Jiang Yi rubbed his hands together and laughed, âThatâs really unnecessary. How could someone of your status lower yourself to apologize to a woman?â
Li Jixian laughed, âIt doesnât work that way. I heard that the Princess Consort of Yu has returned to her parentsâ home. Could you please ask her to come out for a meeting?â
âThat might not be very convenient.â
âWhy is that?â
âMy sister caught a chill yesterday from the wind and is a bit unwell. Besides, she is shy and not used to meeting men outside the family.â
Li Jixian: âHehe, Master Jiang, you donât seem to know your sister very well.â
That woman, shy?
If she was shy, what would you call the other women?
Recalling the ferocious look on her face when she stomped on his face, Li Jixian gritted his teeth in hatred.
Jiang Yi laughed, âIâll accept your apology on my sisterâs behalf, Your Highness. As for the meeting, letâs forget about it, alright?â
âMaster Jiang, are you going to make me come here for nothing?â
This sentence was full of threatening intent.
But Jiang Yi wasnât the least bit affected, his smile remained gentle and warm like a spring breeze in March, âIf Your Highness insists on seeing her, I, of course, wonât block your way. However⦠my sister canât come out, so youâll have to go to the backyard yourself.â
Li Jixian sneered.
Did he think he wouldnât dare to go?
Then he would go.
Just thinking about the fact that he could personally enter Jiang Ningâs boudoir, Li Jixian couldnât help but feel a little excited.
He strode forward into the house.
âHold on.â Jiang Yi called him back, âDoes Your Highness know where our Seventh Sister lives?â
âNo.â
âIâll have someone show you the way.â With that, he nodded to an old woman nearby, who immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
After taking just a few steps, Jiang Yi called out again: âWait.â
Unable to restrain his impatience, Li Jixian turned back and said: âMaster Jiang, what do you intend to do with these repeated hindrances?â
âYour Highness has misunderstood. I just wanted to say that only you should go in. These servants of yours should not go with you.â Jiang Yi laughed, âThe inner courtyard is full of women, and your men are all rough. Iâm afraid itâs not quite appropriate.â
After thinking for a moment, Li Jixian laughed, âWhat Master Jiang says is reasonable. You guys wait here.â
âYour Highness, itâs not safe.â One of his followers tried to dissuade him, âIf it were someone else, it would be fine for them to wait here, but at least let me follow you!â
The manâs martial arts skills were excellent.
Li Jixian looked at Jiang Yi, âIâll only bring one attendant inside. It shouldnât be enough to embarrass your householdâs women.â
âUmâ¦â Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, âAlright, but this gentleman should behave himself and not move about freely. If he offends the ladies and maids in our house, that wouldnât be good.â
âMaster Jiang, rest assured, I am a man of propriety.â The attendant disdainfully replied before following Li Jixian towards the backyard.
Due to Lin Ziziâs love for flowers, most of the open spaces within the Prime Ministerâs Mansion were planted with various flowers. Although it was autumn, the flowers were still in full bloom, creating a beautiful sight.
To reach Jiang Ningâs courtyard from the front yard, they had to pass through a small flower garden.â
From a distance, they could hear several crisp laughs coming from the garden.â
As they approached closer, they could see fluttering skirts amidst the flowers, as several young girls playfully frolicked.â
Was Jiang Ning among them?
Li Jixian hastened his steps, wanting to get a clearer look.â
But the flowers and trees were too lush, making it hard to see them clearly.â
So Li Jixian slowed down and continued walking onwards leisurely..
