Chapter 219 Aunt Jiang Yuxiang
Lin Jiangnian's safe arrival in Beijing finally put Jiang Ningkang's heart at ease.
Although he had never seen this nephew, he was his sister's child after all. In particular, he could vaguely see some of his sister's shadow in Lin Jiangnian's face, which made Jiang Ningkang feel dazed and a little nostalgic.
His sister, who had been smart since childhood, had grown up in the blink of an eye!
In his daze, Jiang Ningkang liked Lin Jiangnian even more. Especially when he found that his nephew was not as bad as the rumors outside, Jiang Ningkang was even happier.
After a round of greetings, Jiang Ningkang asked the maid to send his wife back to her room to rest, and took Lin Jiangnian to the study.
In the study.
Jiang Ningkang looked at Lin Jiangnian with a gentle look and brought up the business: "Jiangnian, are you here for the engagement with the princess?"
Everyone knew that Lin Jiangnian had an engagement with the princess, and he was indeed here for this matter. Therefore, Lin Jiangnian did not hide anything and nodded gently: "It is indeed for this matter."
Jiang Ningkang's eyes were a little complicated. After a while, he sighed softly: "I'm sorry to embarrass you."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes: "Uncle, why do you say that?"
Jiang Ningkang shook his head gently, and his complex and worried expression became more and more intense: "The situation in Beijing is more complicated than you think. It is not a good thing for you to go to Beijing this time. I don't know whether it is good or bad for you to get in touch with that princess..."
Jiang Ningkang is a member of the six ministries of the court. Although his position is not high among the six ministries, he has a wide network of contacts and a very thorough understanding of the affairs in the court.
It is precisely because of this that he knows very well that the current situation in the court is turbulent, and it is the most critical moment. It is not a good choice for Lin Jiangnian to go to Beijing at this time. The previous assassination has already explained the problem, but the greater danger is probably still behind.
Lin Jiangnian was not too worried about this: "Uncle, don't worry too much. I've already prepared."
Jiang Ningkang wanted to tell him something, but seeing Lin Jiangnian so calm and confident, he realized that his brother-in-law might have already expected it.
That's right. Although Jiang Ningkang didn't like his brother-in-law, he had to admit that Lin Hengzhong was indeed a man of great talent and strategy. Since he dared to let Lin Jiangnian enter the capital alone, he might have expected it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningkang breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I worry too much, but..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ningkang looked at Lin Jiangnian again, his face slightly solemn: "Jiangnian, this capital is much more complicated than you think. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell ill, the court has become more and more turbulent. You must be careful..."
Although Jiang Ningkang didn't say it clearly, Lin Jiangnian also heard the meaning.
The emperor closed himself off from the government, and the party struggles in the court were serious. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as regent, it was barely stable. But now that the Crown Prince suddenly fell ill, the court changed its direction immediately.
No one can guarantee what will happen next, especially in the capital, some princes are still ready to make a move...
Lin Jiangnian could also hear that Jiang Ningkang's tone was full of concern for him: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will be careful."
Jiang Ningkang nodded slightly, and thought of something, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, I don't know when you will be in seclusion this time. You just arrived in the capital, so stay here for a while. After your majesty comes out of seclusion, I will arrange for you to go to the palace to meet the emperor."
Lin Jiangnian said: "All is up to uncle's arrangement."
Jiang Ningkang looked at the handsome face in front of him, with a bit of heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and vaguely saw those familiar touches. After a moment of trance, he sighed and patted Lin Jiangnian's shoulder heavily.
As if thinking of something, the expression on his face slightly condensed, "By the way, Jiang Nian..."
"You have to be careful of the princess."
"..."
When leaving the study, it was completely dark and it was already late. The maid in the corridor guided Lin Jiangnian to go and rest.
When he arrived at the backyard, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand to disperse the maid, went in alone, and recalled what Jiang Ningkang had just said to him.
Both Jiang Ningkang and Jiang's mother were very enthusiastic about Lin Jiangnian. Although Jiang Ningkang did not show it very obviously, his words showed his concern for Lin Jiangnian. He was very happy about Lin Jiangnian's arrival, but he also had a lot of worries. Especially Jiang Ningkang's last words that seemed to be a wake-up call... Be careful of the princess?
Lin Jiangnian thought, Jiang Ningkang had been in the court for so many years, and he probably knew some inside stories. Reminding Lin Jiangnian to be careful of the princess probably means... There is something wrong with the princess.
However, Jiang Ningkang did not say it clearly, and Lin Jiangnian only had a rough guess.
He was not in a hurry!
When Lin Jiangnian first arrived in Beijing, his identity had not been exposed. Most people in Beijing thought he was missing or dead. Besides, the emperor in the palace was still in seclusion.
Logically, as the son of a vassal king, Lin Jiangnian should meet the emperor as soon as he arrived in Beijing. However, the emperor's seclusion gave Lin Jiangnian a lot of time to relax. Before meeting the emperor, Lin Jiangnian still had a lot of things to do.
When he thought of this, Lin Jiangnian had returned to the side courtyard and the door of his room. He lived in Jiang Mansion, and his room and courtyard were arranged in this quiet place. Coincidentally, it was arranged in the courtyard next to Zhiyuan.
Of course, it was not certain whether it was a coincidence!
Lin Jiangnian, who was about to return to his room, had a thought in his heart. He looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he moved towards Zhiyuan's room next to him.
He planned to talk to Zhiyuan!
The courtyard was deserted, and there was no figure of a maid or servant. It was dark and quiet all around, and only the room not far away was shining with lights. Lin Jiangnian lightened his steps and approached slowly.
When he got closer to the door of the room, he realized that the door was not closed. The slightly opened doorway revealed the light in the room. Through this ray of light, a figure sitting in front of the dressing table behind the screen not far away could be vaguely seen.
Lin Jiangnian was a little confused. The kite didn't rest at this late night and didn't close the door. What was he doing?
With this in his mind, Lin Jiangnian got a little teasing, opened the door gently, stepped lightly, and stepped into the room without making a sound.
After recovering from his injuries, Lin Jiangnian's internal strength not only greatly increased, but his control over his body became even better than before. Not only could he hide his aura, he could even step on the snow without leaving a trace and land silently.
Climbing over walls and windows, picking flowers and having sex, you are far ahead.
Lin Jiangnian concealed his presence, stepped lightly, and stepped into the room without making a sound or disturbing the kite behind the screen.
In terms of martial arts strength, Zhiyuan was far superior to Lin Jiangnian, and he would be discovered if he wasn't careful. Therefore, Lin Jiangnian was extremely careful and approached quietly.
In the quiet room, the lights were dim, obscuring Lin Jiangnian's figure. The room was filled with a faint and familiar aroma, which was the body fragrance of Zhiyuan, mixed with the smell of some spices, and it smelled very good.
This made Lin Jiangnian somewhat miss the days when he and Zhiyuan slept in the same bed and slept in each other's arms. With a thought in his heart, he walked lightly and walked behind the screen. In front of the table by the window, a figure sat quietly at the table, with his back to Lin Jiangnian, and his cold back was very beautiful.
Taking advantage of the dim light, Lin Jiangnian hid his figure and came closer, suddenly bent down and reached out to hug Zhiyuan from behind. Before she could react, Lin Jiangnian was caught off guard and kissed her on her fair, delicate and delicate face.
"Zhiyuan, have you ever thought about this life..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiangnian was stunned.
Something's wrong!
Isn't this a paper kite? !
Having had close contact with Zhiyuan many times, and even sharing the same bed with him several times, Lin Jiangnian was already very familiar with Zhiyuan's body.
The woman in his arms is obviously smaller and softer than the paper kite. Zhiyuan has been practicing martial arts all year round. Although his body bones are equally soft, he feels completely different from the woman in his arms.
In his arms was a soft, boneless body that seemed to be easily rolled into a ball. The moment he hugged Lin Jiangnian from behind, he suddenly became tense and stiff again.
Not only that, the scent coming from the woman in his arms was completely different from that of the paper kite.
What's more important is...
Lin Jiangnian hugged the woman from behind, and the plump and erect feeling on his arms was completely different from the paper kite in his memory.
The paper kite is not small, but definitely not that big!
Not a paper kite?
Who is it? !
Lin Jiangnian looked down subconsciously. If it wasn't Zhiyuan in Zhiyuan's room, who could it be?
Lowering his head, he saw a beautiful and delicate side face, and shouted angrily: "Who? How bold!!"
The woman in his arms looked angry and turned her head in anger.
In his sight, Lin Jiangnian saw a beautiful and delicate face.
A stunning face with a thin blush and charming charm, a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows like indigo, the tips of the eyebrows are extremely long, slightly drooping at the tail, and the bright beautiful eyes are like two crescent moons.
She has a straight nose, a thin upper lip, but an extremely plump and fleshy lower lip, and her teeth are as white and firm as pearls.
The appearance of the country is beautiful and fragrant, and the temperament is quiet and gentle. However, at this moment, this very beautiful woman was extremely embarrassed and angry when she turned her head. Her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were looking at Lin Jiangnian coldly like they were on fire.
But when she saw Lin Jiangnian's face, which seemed so close at hand, her pupils suddenly shrank again, in disbelief.
"you……"
This scene did not escape Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
The mature and gentle woman in front of her, with her stunning appearance and red and angry eyes, seemed to be shocked when she saw Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian soon encountered a figure in his mind.
"Little, aunt?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang was also confused.
She was caught off guard and hugged from behind, and the man's breath came from her, making her feel extremely frightened.
Before she could react, she felt warmth coming from her pretty face.
She trembled violently, her whole body was cold, and her head was blank.
How could there be a man?
How did you get in? !
Could it be that he is a servant who doesn’t know what is good and what is right? !
Surprised and angry, Jiang Yuxiang turned his head suddenly, and the next second he saw a familiar face.
Very familiar!
Even though they hadn't seen each other for several years, Jiang Yuxiang still recognized him at a glance.
Lin Jiangnian?
Prince Lin?
My sister's child? !
At this moment, for some reason, Jiang Yuxiang's hanging heart relaxed slightly. But immediately afterwards, a wave of shame and anger surged into my heart.
"Still, why don't you let go quickly?"
There was a hint of shame and anger in her voice, and an imperceptible tremor.
Lin Jiangnian woke up from a dream, let go of Jiang Yuxiang in his arms, and took a step back with an extremely wonderful expression on his face.
Aunt? !
After regaining her freedom, Jiang Yuxiang stood up in a panic, quickly straightened her messy clothes, touched her face, and felt the warm breath on her face. Her eyes became more and more ashamed and angry. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then turned around suddenly, Staring at Lin Jiangnian, he sneered: "Okay, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are getting more and more courageous. You even dare to take advantage of your aunt?"
Lin Jiangnian felt a little weird looking at Jiang Yuxiang, a woman who was only a few years older than him, but acted like an elder educating a younger generation.
The woman in front of him was named Jiang Yuxiang, and nominally she was the aunt of the prince of Lin. Although she was an aunt, Jiang Yuxiang was only 26 years old this year, which was the most mature and blooming age for a woman.
This was the Jiang Yuxiang in front of him at the moment. The blush on her fair cheeks had not yet completely faded. She stared at Lin Jiangnian with a questioning look.
Her black hair was tied into a simple and beautiful bun on the top of her head, and a unique yellow jade hairpin was inserted. She was gentle and quiet, and her appearance could be called a fairy-like lady. But at this moment, she looked at Lin Jiangnian with a sneer on her face, perhaps because she was angry, her breathing was rapid, and her full chest rose and fell under her light-colored gown.
Lin Jiangnian looked at the woman staring at him with shame and anger, and coughed lightly: "Aunt, this is all a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding?"
Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "What did I misunderstand?"
"You kid, you are getting more and more courageous!"
As he said, Jiang Yuxiang walked forward angrily and grabbed Lin Jiangnian's ear. Lin Jiangnian subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he thought of something and stopped, and was grabbed by Jiang Yuxiang's ear.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I haven't taught you a lesson. You really have no scruples, right? You even dare to take advantage of your aunt? I heard that you can force a little girl? Huh?!"
Jiang Yuxiang was half a head shorter than Lin Jiangnian, but she was very imposing when standing in front of Lin Jiangnian. She grabbed Lin Jiangnian's ear with a white jade hand and started to teach him a lesson.
Lin Jiangnian half-bent over, lowered his head, and grinned: "Aunt, it hurts!"
"Hurt? You still know it hurts? I'll pinch you to death!"
Jiang Yuxiang said fiercely, and increased the strength of his hands, but in the end, he didn't use much force.
Lin Jiangnian cooperated and pretended to be in pain.
Although he had no impression of Jiang Yuxiang, before entering Beijing, Lin Jiangnian had already investigated this aunt and knew her like the back of his hand!
"Aunt, be gentle, it hurts...Aunt, I was wrong..."
Sure enough, seeing Lin Jiangnian's miserable look, Jiang Yuxiang was satisfied and let go of her hand, but she still sneered on her face: "You know you're wrong? What's wrong?"
"Aunt said I was wrong, and I was wrong."
"Hehe, you're quite good at talking?"
Jiang Yuxiang sneered again, but in this way, her emotions were much more stable, and the shame and anger she had just felt for being kissed also subsided a lot.
Looking up and down at Lin Jiangnian: "I haven't seen you for a few years. You look like a decent person, but your character hasn't changed at all."
"Aunt, are you praising me or scolding me?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yuxiang glared at him.
Lin Jiangnian coughed, then remembered something and changed the subject: "By the way, aunt, why are you here, where is Zhiyuan?"
He clearly remembered that Zhiyuan said that aunt went to the palace today and would not be back until tomorrow.
When mentioning this, a cloud of worry appeared on Jiang Yuxiang's face, and then he waved his hand: "The Queen is not feeling well, so I came back first."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuxiang seemed to think of something, and suddenly squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Lin Jiangnian: "Wait, you just..."
"Actually you want to hug Zhiyuan, right?"
Jiang Yuxiang realized that Lin Jiangnian broke into the room just now, why did he suddenly hug her?
Did he hug the wrong person?
Who did he want to hug?
This is Zhiyuan's room, so he...
The person he wanted to kiss just now was Zhiyuan?
Jiang Yuxiang's eyes gradually became playful, looking up and down at Lin Jiangnian, with her hands on her chest, and her already full and upright chest was squeezed more obviously.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with Zhiyuan now?!"
"..."
