Chapter 20: Battle? Is this... reasonable?

Chapter 20

Youyi was the most skilled martial artist among the secret guards, and naturally had the strongest photographic memory. He copied and practiced the boxing techniques that Lin Zhiyi had practiced in the past two days with Jingyue in the order of moves, and then he finished his moves, stood with his head down, waiting for the princess's instructions.

Jing Yue: "It's indeed quite innovative."

He thought to himself: Could it be that this is the life-saving boxing technique that Ding'an Hou acquired through years of fighting on the battlefield, which is more beneficial for the soldiers to use?

And it seems to be more suitable for close combat.

Jing Yue's eyes flashed with the image of Marquis Ding'an and General Zhou fighting to liven up the atmosphere at the celebration banquet during the spring hunt, and suddenly his brows furrowed.

wrong.

wrong!

At that time... Marquis Ding'an's movements and techniques were more fierce, more deadly, and more free and easy, completely different from the Prince Consort's boxing style.

It is impossible that it was taught by Marquis Ding'an.

So... was it taught by Gu Tingxuan?

But in the hunting ground, he had also ridden horses to hunt with Gu Tingxuan. The martial arts skills that Gu Tingxuan displayed when taking care of several girls from aristocratic families were also different - softer, more ethereal, and graceful like a swimming dragon.

The Prince Consort's boxing style... although different from that of Marquis Ding'an and Gu Tingxuan, it doesn't have any useless moves, and both the blocking and direct attacks are just right.

Could it be that he created it himself?

Jing Yue seemed to be lost in thought.

The more I get to know the prince consort, the more I feel that he is... weird.

But if you guess that the prince consort is deliberately showing some rebellious behavior and doesn't want to marry the princess...it doesn't make sense.

After all, the prince consort not only accepted gold ingots, but also gave him a jade pendant in return. He also gave him flower arrangements and blueprints on a daily basis. Just now, he also gave him a letter and... a heart.

Jing Yue confirmed it - the prince consort was indeed eccentric, but she was not opposed to being a prince consort.

Moreover, he was also trying to understand the princess and actively communicate with her in order to be a good son-in-law.

Jing Yue was in a delicate mood. After all, he was not a 'princess', but the feeling of being taken seriously was not bad.

He ordered, "You continue to guard the Prince Consort. From now on... just report back every ten days."

"yes."

Yuichi hesitated before leaving: "Your Highness, are you going to write back to the Prince Consort?"

Jing Yue was stunned for a moment, then said, "You don't need to take the reply letter with you. Go and get busy."

"yes."

Jing Yue really hadn't decided whether to reply or not.

The main thing was that he didn't know what to say to Young Marquis Lin in reply.

Lin Zhiyi's letter was rather rambling, expressing the Four Daughters' love for Yuanbao's doll and their gratitude to the princess. He then recounted Yuanbao's recent life, then asked her how life was in the palace, whether she was bored, and whether she wanted any small things to keep her entertained outside the palace so he could have them bought. He had finished reading the storybook and asked her opinion on whether he could lend it to the Third Young Lady of the Marquisate...

No matter how big or small, I share everything with 'her'.

He did look a bit like a princess consort - a princess consort basically had to obey the princess's orders and be respectful.

First observe the etiquette between ruler and subject, then talk about the relationship between husband and wife.

Jing Yue secretly raised his eyebrows: This prince consort... seems to not need any additional training from him?

"Come here, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Jing Yue said loudly.

Su Lian: "Okay, Your Highness!"

He was very happy to see the princess and her husband being so affectionate.

How could the princess ever reply to her husband's letter before?

Oh, that’s not right. The two previous princes-in-law never wrote a letter to the princess!

Young Marquis Lin is really knowledgeable and interesting!

Jing Yue approved the request in Lin Zhiyi's letter for the loan of the novel, and replied that her mother also liked Yuanbao's doll, and explained that she did not ask the Shangyi Bureau to make more dolls. If the imperial sisters and other concubines saw them and liked them, they could only admire them and could not make new ones - because these were painted by the prince consort for "her", and Yuanbao was a gift from "her" to the prince consort.

It’s fine if only those close to you have it, but others... don’t deserve it.

After Lin Zhiyi received Jing Yue's reply, he first sighed at the princess's handwriting: "How generous!"

It's not the gentle kind, but the brushwork is free and easy, which is completely different from the feeling she gives people as a whole.

I didn't expect the princess to have such beautiful handwriting, so vigorous and full of youthful spirit.

Lin Zhiyi saw the princess's "limited edition" rule for the Yuanbao doll and exclaimed, "What a forward-thinking copyright awareness!"

Compared to the letter she wrote to the princess, the princess's reply was very short, only one page was enough.

Fortunately, she got answers to all the questions she asked, and in the end the princess even told her to take good care of her injuries.

Lin Zhiyi carefully put away the first reply letter between her and the princess - this was also her first friend in the other world, and they were also pen pals.

If I can successfully become sisters with the princess in the future, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

"Young Marquis, Young Master Zhou has sent a visiting card, saying he will come to visit tomorrow." Zhu'er, the little maidservant beside Lin Zhiyi, reported.

"Got it. Put it here."

Lin Zhiyi lay on the table, teasing Yuanbao, feeling a little emotional in his heart - he would go back to school the day after tomorrow, and Zhou Mingyan came to see him, it must be about this matter.

Sigh, she's a CEO, and she's been out of college for five or six years, yet she still has to go back to school...

I wonder if the knowledge she has learned through intensive remedial classes these days can prevent her from revealing the truth.

"Xiaoyuan! Look what I did for you!" Lin Zhihua rushed into Bitong Courtyard in a hurry, and her voice arrived before her.

Lin Zhiyi stood up and went out holding Yuanbao, and saw that Lin Zhihua had brought her an exquisite small wooden house.

The small door, window, and the faint glimpse of the small bed inside...

"For Yuanbao?" Lin Zhiyi looked down at Yuanbao, "No way? Really for it?! Fourth sister is too amazing!"

"Try it. It took me a lot of effort to make it." Lin Zhihua said proudly.

"Thank you, Fourth Sister. This size is just right!"

The two of them tried out Yuanbao's new home. Although Yuanbao was a little interested, he preferred the one prepared for him by the princess. He coiled up his tail to cover himself and did not move.

Lin Zhiyi: "Give it a couple of days to get used to it, and it should like it."

Lin Zhihua: "It's okay! I just started making this because I saw Yuanbao had a brilliant idea. I'm very satisfied with the finished product! You go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now!"

"...Fourth sister, take care." Lin Zhiyi watched his fourth sister leave in a hurry and swallowed the words he wanted to invite her to have dinner together.

Although they are biological sisters, there is a difference between "men and women" after all, and "he" is the future prince consort, so just avoid suspicion.

Not long after Lin Zhihua left, Lin Zhiqi came to visit 'him' again without hesitation——

"Yuanyuan, I heard that Young Master Zhou will come to play with you tomorrow?"

"...Yes." Lin Zhiyi's eyes lit up. Could it be that his second sister had a crush on Zhou Mingyan?!

Although the second sister is three years older than Zhou Mingyan, a woman who is three years older than her husband is more likely to marry a rich man. If the two really fall in love, she would be happy to act as a matchmaker.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiqi said something shocking: "That's perfect, I want to have a duel with him tomorrow! Please help me to arrange a duel with him!"

Lin Zhiyi: “Huh???” A challenge?!

Is this trend...reasonable?
