Chapter 251 Confronting the Princess
Under the eaves, the cold wind was raging.
The winter chill invaded the courtyard, blowing up a pile of dead leaves.
A figure in white appeared silently at the door, her long skirt swaying in the wind, and where the skirt fluttered, a small piece of snow-white was revealed, which was more dazzling than the white jade cast by the magic craftsmanship.
She looked at the two people in the room expressionlessly, her eyes fell on the two people pulling, her eyebrows slightly frowned, her appearance was beautiful but extremely cold, her cold eyes stared at the two people, silent.
Her black hair fluttered, and a pure white ribbon was tied in her long hair, like an out-of-this-world fairy, beautiful and breathtaking, cold as the frost in deep winter.
In an instant, the world seemed to be getting colder.
"Princess..."
In the room, Jinxiu, whose mind was blank and whose face was hot and red, finally came to her senses, pulled back her little hand in a panic, struggled to break free from Lin Jiangnian's arms, and took two steps back.
She looked at a loss, her face flushed, and she was a little at a loss for a moment, feeling uneasy. Her flushed face was as pink as a peach blossom, and she ran to the door like she was escaping, hiding outside the door, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his hand, stood in place, and looked up at the cold figure at the door.
He was not unfamiliar.
It was the master mentioned by Jinxiu, the woman in white who had seen her when she first arrived in the capital.
At this moment, their eyes met.
The woman in white still had a cold breath on her body, her face was normal, and there was no ripples on her body. She just looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly.
Silence, for a long time.
"Your Highness, Princess, how are you!"
Lin Jiangnian spoke first.
She also stared at Lin Jiangnian and said casually: "Each other."
The voice was also very light, with a bit of indifference, just like when they first met, without any waves.
"I thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would always avoid me."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, still looking at the woman in white in front of him, with a relaxed tone.
The Princess did not seem to hear the teasing in Lin Jiangnian's tone, and said lightly: "Why should I avoid you?"
"Who knows?"
Lin Jiangnian smiled: "Maybe Her Royal Highness is afraid of marrying me? So she avoids me?"
The Princess looked at Lin Jiangnian with cold eyes for a long time, and her tone was still calm: "Why should I be afraid of marrying you?"
Such a calm and calm tone surprised Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "So, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not afraid?"
The Princess did not speak.
"Since she is not afraid, does it mean that Her Royal Highness the Princess actually admires my talent and has long wanted to marry me?"
"Puff..."
After these words came out, the Princess in front of her did not react. On the contrary, Jinxiu, who was hiding at the door behind the eldest princess, couldn't help laughing out loud.
She had just blushed because of Lin Jiangnian's sudden close contact, and she was not able to get away until Her Royal Highness the Princess showed up.
The cold wind outside the door gradually calmed her down. But she was still confused and a little ashamed and angry.
This Prince Lin was so rude. As expected, he had bad intentions towards her just like last time.
She was condemning him angrily in her heart, but when she heard his words, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
The princess admired his talent?
This guy is really good at talking nonsense.
However, she just laughed out loud, and suddenly found that Prince Lin and her own princess were looking at her. Jinxiu quickly covered her mouth, blinked innocently, and wanted to leave this place.
But just as she was about to run away, she heard her princess's indifferent voice.
"Jinxiu, pour the tea."
"Oh."
"..."
In the quiet room, there was a round sandalwood table.
On both sides of the table, there were two figures sitting.
Jinxiu, who was wearing a waist-length skirt, was making and pouring tea with a stern face.
On the table, the teacup was steaming, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
Jinxiu took a step back and stood back beside her princess. Her beautiful eyes quietly looked at Lin Jiangnian, scanning up and down with a bit of agility.
When Lin Jiangnian looked at her, she seemed to think of something, her face slightly blushed, and then she glared at him lightly, showing a bit of shame and anger, and snorted and looked away.
Lin Jiangnian retracted his gaze and fell on the white-clothed woman opposite.
She was wearing a white dress and a long skirt, heroic and valiant, and you could vaguely see the breath of a child of the rivers and lakes on her body.
I heard that this princess was trained as a successor of the sword since she was a child, so she must have been stained with a lot of martial arts.
When she first met Lin Jiangnian, there was almost no change, except that the sword that was almost inseparable from her hand was missing this time.
The two of them just sat there, and no one spoke first.
The cold atmosphere and simple environment around them also made everything around them seem a little out of place.
One is the princess of the current dynasty, and the other is the only son of a king of a different surname in the dynasty. The first formal meeting of two prominent identities was in such a simple environment.
It was indeed unexpected.
The two kept silent tacitly, the fragrance of tea wafted, and the tea in the teacup began to cool. Jinxiu, who was about to eat melon silently, saw this scene and felt a little anxious.
Why don't you speak yet?
What are the two doing?
Princess, you should speak, wasn't the prince of Lin very eloquent before? Why are you dumb?
You should hurry up!
She was so anxious!
Jinxiu was anxious silently, but she didn't know what to do. She could only look at her own princess, and then at Lin Jiangnian across from her, and gave him a look.
Lin Jiangnian ignored Jinxiu's winking eyes, and looked at the princess in front of him, his nominal fiancée, with a cold and indifferent look.
Before I met her, there were rumors that she was one of the rare beauties in the world today. There were all kinds of rumors among the people, and those scholars almost praised this princess as a fairy who came down to earth.
At first, Lin Jiangnian sneered and even suspected that those people were the navy hired by the princess. When I really saw it with my own eyes, I had to admit that this princess's appearance was indeed very good.
It's a pity... It's too cold.
It's so cold that it makes people lose interest!
There is no femininity, and even a little bit of humanity...
The princess in front of me is like an ice cube, not like a mortal.
Conquering the high and mighty fairy is indeed very challenging and fulfilling, but conquering ice cubes seems to have a unique taste.
Although the princess is indeed beautiful, Lin Jiangnian is not short of beauties around him. Whether it is Zhiyuan or Liu Su, their appearance is no worse than that of the princess in front of him.
In comparison, conquering those two is obviously much more interesting than conquering the princess in front of him...
Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a touch of coldness in the air. When he came to his senses, he saw that the princess in front of him was staring at him expressionlessly.
There seemed to be a chill in her eyes.
"Princess, don't you have anything to say?"
Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes.
The princess still had no expression on her face: "What?"
"Your Highness Princess invited me here, don't you have anything to say?"
The princess looked at him coldly: "You invited me."
"..."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and mentioned another thing: "Why didn't Your Highness Princess reveal her identity when we met last time?"
The princess' eyes did not change: "Why should I reveal it?"
"So, you guys teamed up to fool me?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the princess, and then at Jinxiu beside her.
"Your Highness is stupid!"
Jinxiu curled her lips: "I thought Your Highness would guess it soon..."
The princess did not speak, but just looked at Lin Jiangnian, with a little strange color in her eyes.
Lin Jiangnian had no expression on his face.
He really didn't think of this at the time.
It was not until he returned to Jiang Mansion and mentioned it to Zhiyuan that he gradually realized that something was wrong, and then he had a guess.
After seeing it with his own eyes, he was completely sure of this.
However, the princess in front of him already knew his identity, but she pretended to be stupid...
What's the purpose?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "It is indeed my fault."
Jinxiu smiled like a flower: "But Your Highness can still guess it later, proving that he is not too stupid..."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "I have something important to talk about with your princess, you go out first."
Jinxiu pouted slightly unhappily and looked back at her princess. The princess didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.
"Oh."
Jinxiu was a little reluctant, glared at Lin Jiangnian, and reluctantly left the room and closed the door.
In the room, Lin Jiangnian and the princess were left.
The cold wind was raging outside the door, and the warmth inside the door was like spring. The atmosphere should have been extremely ambiguous for a man and a woman alone, but at this moment it seemed a little lonely and cold.
"Your Highness, I think you already know the purpose of my visit to the capital, right?"
After Jinxiu left, Lin Jiangnian looked at her and said straight to the point: "My visit to the capital this time is for the marriage between you and me..."
"I wonder what your Highness thinks of this marriage?"
When it comes to this, the princess raised her cold eyes and glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and said lightly: "Didn't look at it much?"
"What do you mean by didn't look at it much?"
"Just didn't look at it much."
"..."
"Your Highness, do you want to marry me?"
Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down. As if she could feel the heat of Lin Jiangnian's eyes, the princess frowned coldly, stared at Lin Jiangnian for a few times, and then said expressionlessly: "You dare to marry ? "
"Why not?"
Lin Jiangnian said in a playful tone: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is extremely beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament. She is admired by thousands of people in the capital. If you can marry her, I'm afraid how many young talents will envy her to death?"
"It's a good thing that will benefit this prince, why don't you dare?"
The Princess was unmoved. After staring at Lin Jiangnian for a few times, she said coldly: "You dare not."
Lin Jiangnian said: "Why do you say that?"
A sneer appeared in the Princess's cold eyes: "If you marry me, none of your confidantes will survive."
Lin Jiangnian: "..."
Lin Jiangnian's smile froze, and he looked at the cold face of the Princess in front of him. It didn't seem like he was joking at all.
The atmosphere froze at this moment.
Lin Jiangnian was silent!
He had predicted many situations, but he didn't expect the Princess to say such a childish thing.
Childish threat!
But Lin Jiangnian had to take it seriously... The princess in front of him was rumored to be a master of the second-grade Tianxuan realm, and was also known as the heir of the sword art of the world's number one sword!
Her threat was self-evident.
"Why don't you speak?"
The sneer in the princess' eyes became more and more obvious: "Do you still dare?"
Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment: "I don't think Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess kills innocent people indiscriminately."
"How do you know I am not?"
She spoke calmly and glanced at Lin Jiangnian.
He didn't speak again, but everything was lost in words.
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "If you say that, we won't be able to continue talking."
It's a threat, but it's also a fact!
If Lin Jiangnian really marries her, he will really get into big trouble!
Apart from everything else, the eldest princess had a noble status. If she really married him and became the royal concubine of Prince Lin, she would be able to attack the people around Lin Jiangnian openly.
Coupled with her unfathomable martial arts...
She really wasn't joking when she said none of them would survive.
The eldest princess' eyes were indifferent, and she could see through Lin Jiangnian's thoughts at a glance, and said calmly: "You never planned to marry me from the beginning."
"How can I see it?"
The eldest princess did not explain: "Why did you come to see me today?"
Lin Jiangnian had to admit that he still underestimated the eldest princess. I am afraid that this eldest princess was not only unfathomable in martial arts, but as a royal goddess, she was not stupid in terms of brain...
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is so frank, then I will not hide anything from you."
Lin Jiangnian paused, "Right now, it seems that neither the princess nor this prince approves of this marriage, right?"
The eldest princess did not speak, but her eyes acquiesced.
"That way, things will be much easier to handle."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at her: "Since you and I are not willing, then this marriage should not exist. The best result for you and me is to cancel this marriage..."
The eldest princess glanced at him without moving her eyelids: "How to retreat?"
"Of course it is up to the Princess to explain the situation to His Majesty and request the dissolution of the marriage."
"..."
The eldest princess said expressionlessly: "Why don't you go?"
Lin Jiangnian's expression did not change and he said confidently: "Your Majesty is the father of Her Royal Highness the Princess. It is more appropriate for the Princess to come forward."
This time, it was the eldest princess's turn to be silent.
She stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Since ancient times, the man should be the one to break off the engagement. If you want to break off the engagement, naturally you should explain it to my father!"
"Then what if your father doesn't agree?"
The eldest princess continued to be silent.
Of course it is impossible to agree.
The royal emperor's engagement was annulled, and the consequences were self-evident.
What's more, this marriage is not only about the two of them, but also about the trade-off between the court and the vassal king.
If she could retreat easily, why would she wait until now?
"This is your business!"
The eldest princess gave him a cold look: "If you don't want to marry me, it's up to you to break off the engagement."
"But isn't Her Royal Highness the Princess unwilling to marry?"
"I didn't say anything."
The eldest princess was still sitting there, wearing a long white dress, looking cold and proud, with an aura that was a bit unlike human fireworks, and glanced at him lightly.
"If you dare to marry, I will certainly dare to marry you!"
"..."
