Chapter 237 Princess He Thinks This Prince Can’t Be Humane 4
Lin Zhiyi sneered, and her tone was completely devoid of the tenderness she showed towards Gongsun Yi.
"If anything happens to this prince in the capital, no matter whose fault it is, my father will rebel. In this huge capital, the more powerful people are, the less they want this prince to get into trouble easily. If it's just a broken leg, someone will naturally jump out to help this prince settle the matter."
The Seventh Prince, Gongsun Rui, looked over and said, "That being said, there are many ways in this world that can leave you with nothing to lose. Your Highness, are you not afraid of staying in the capital, away from the Prince of Zhennan's protection?"
"Your Highness, what you said is very contradictory. Just because I'm a coward, those people won't take action. It's obvious that those who don't want you well will never change their behavior because of your attitude."
"Instead of trembling with fear, it's better to step on others' faces and do whatever you want. It will make you feel happy. No matter how sneaky they are behind my back, at least in front of this prince, I have to avoid them!"
The Seventh Prince and Xiao Shi both looked at Lin Zhiyi in surprise, as if they could not have expected that the Prince of Zhennan would have such a personality.
Gongsun Yi was extremely happy because Lin Zhiyi's words unexpectedly made him happy.
He tickled Lin Zhiyi's chin with his fingers and said meaningfully, "Have I also become the prince's willful lover?"
Lin Zhiyi rubbed her little face against the slightly cool fingertips.
"Yes and no. This prince likes the princess very much, so naturally he wants to be close to her. He doesn't bother to hide his feelings. This prince has always been pampered, so he naturally doesn't know how to please others. Princess, just tell me what you want. As long as it doesn't hurt the interests of the Zhennan Palace, this prince will agree to it."
Gongsun Yi raised his eyebrows: "What do you like about me?"
Lin Zhiyi replied without hesitation: "Face."
“If someone else had this face.”
"I like someone else." Lin Zhiyi's extremely frank answer made the beauty push her off her legs.
"I am not feeling well, so I won't be sending you off."
Lin Zhiyi's face turned sour: "Hmph, just leave." She left angrily with two maids.
After the people left, Xiao Shi said playfully, "What do you think? Let me tell you first, it's watertight."
The Seventh Prince, Gongsun Rui, placed the chess pieces and said, "Slippery and shrewd."
Princess Jinyang Gongsun Yi gritted her teeth and spat out three words: "Little pervert." This voice was no longer a low female voice, but a hoarse and seductive male voice, but the two people beside her were not moved at all.
Xiao Shiqingjun's smile widened: "He's not really a pervert, is he? After all, if he knew your true gender, he would probably be the first to stay away."
"Crack" the chair under Xiao Shi exploded. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his butt might have had a few more petals.
At this time, Lin Zhiyi, who had left the area in the center of the lake, breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, it was a good thing that she reacted quickly and created a character that suited the cruel princess's taste. Otherwise, she would probably not be physically hurt today, but she would probably suffer mental humiliation.
You have to know that this was ancient times, and the royal family had a status that was devastating to the people. If you didn't pay the respects, you would be forced to stay in jail for half a day and suffer enough.
Her guess was absolutely correct. The cruel princess definitely had some ideas about her marriage. She said she liked him first, which was exactly what she wanted, so she left the pavilion easily.
I'm so tired. I've only been in Beijing for a few days. Is it always necessary to be so scheming and thrilling?
The power that can reach the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and do something to his mother cannot be small. His Majesty and the Xiao family are both among them. Once she gets familiar with those people, she can slowly investigate them.
I don’t know if it was because she heard that Princess Jinyang met him, or because the Xiao family met her, but she was on the street all afternoon and didn’t encounter any people. Seeing that there was no hope today, Lin Zhiyi went back to the palace to sleep.
It was not until the next day that he received punishment and commendation from the palace.
The Minister of War indeed exposed the matter in the court and demanded justice from the emperor.
As a result, the person involved, Minister of Works Xiao Shi, came out to testify that it was Zhao Cheng who offended Princess Jinyang first, and the prince could not stand it so much that he took action.
The Seventh Prince and Princess Jinyang also spoke with one voice, and the servants had no objection at all, so the matter was concluded that the Prince of Zhennan had done a great job in protecting the princess, but he had been too harsh, so he was rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and punished with confinement for five days of reflection.
It is said that the Minister of War fainted from anger.
This is a shitty punishment. He was just overwhelmed by his son's injury. If he calms down, he will realize that he shouldn't have filed a lawsuit.
It was originally a trivial matter, but the emperor actually came to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion in person to appease the people.
Lin Zhiyi was naturally flattered. The emperor had been upright and kind since they met, and seemed to care about him very much.
She was drinking tea in the main seat and looking at him with a smile, as if they were just chatting about family matters.
"When your father and I were young, we fought side by side. Whether on the battlefield or in the imperial court, we were always invincible together. After I ascended the throne, those brotherly feelings seemed to have faded."
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "I think this is normal. The saying that there is a difference between the monarch and his subjects is not just a saying. Your Majesty is already Your Majesty, and my father still calls you brother. That is disrespectful."
The emperor sighed, "Yes, the royal rules are above all else. I am ultimately alone. Having been separated from your father for so many years, I often miss the past. That's why I asked you to come to the capital to live for a while, so we can get closer."
"You've reached adulthood this year, and it's time to start a family. I heard... you like Jinyang?"
After going around in circles, it turned out that he came to inquire about this matter. Lin Zhiyi was speechless. It was so troublesome for the ancients to speak.
He immediately said seriously: "Princess Jinyang is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Naturally, I like her."
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Just think it's beautiful?"
"Well, isn't marrying a wife meant for daily companionship? Naturally, I would like to find a beautiful one, so that I can feel comfortable looking at her. If there is a woman more beautiful than Princess Jinyang, then... can I choose a more beautiful one?"
The emperor laughed heartily and said, "You are still a child. It's fine if you only say this to me. If Jinyang hears you, you will suffer the consequences. My sister... has a very bad temper. Even the palace maids dare not serve her for fear of being beaten to death. I am helpless."
Lin Zhiyi was surprised: "Is she really that cruel? I've heard it all the way to Beijing and thought it was an exaggeration. Now that His Majesty says so... then is Princess Jinyang really that cruel?"
"Ridiculous! When did I ever say Jinyang was cruel? It's just a little girl's temper. You shouldn't be prejudiced and get along well with her. Of course... if you suffer, come to me."
The emperor left after leaving some suggestive words.
Later in the palace, he heard that Jinyang came to see Lin Zhiyi, but was ignored on the grounds of house arrest and reflection. He smiled. This kid is really good and much easier to control than his father.
How could the palace gate not stop Princess Jinyang? She was a very arrogant person in Beijing, and this was the first time she was turned away. So she climbed over the palace wall and sneaked in that night.
At that time, Lin Zhiyi was taking a bath. Looking at the little bun she had released, she sighed, "It's so small!"
