Chapter 320 Jealousy



The second one: The embroidered door is bored, the colorful lanterns are bright and shining.

Lin Yuxin: ...?

It knows her, and she knows it, but they don't understand each other!

Forget it, she won't do the second one either. She can just watch the show!

The next moment, the male voice from downstairs rang out again:

"A green sleeve adds fragrance!"

"Congratulations, young master, you guessed right again!"

The shopkeeper announced with a smile and then sent both lamps to the young master.

Lin Yuxin was a little curious now. Who was it that won against two opponents at once?

She looked in the direction of the sound, but her curious gaze froze, and she quickly pulled her head back, not daring to look any further.

"What's wrong with the princess?"

Uncle Jin just saw the princess looking down with great interest, how come she's so frightened now?

"It's nothing! I just saw something I shouldn't have seen! It was an eyesore!"

Lin Yuxin closed her eyes and said through gritted teeth.

That damn green tea b*tch, she's like a persistent ghost, how could I run into her like this!

That's right, the person below who won two riddles in a row is none other than the reserved and brooding Second Prince, Qiu Jingfan!

When she peeked at him just now, that bastard actually waved his teacup at her and said hello?

Does this mean the man knew she was here? Was he following her?

Lin Yuxin became increasingly agitated, and lost all interest in watching the spectacle.

She knew Qiu Jingfan had designs on her, probably because he sensed she had a secret. But she couldn't afford to turn against him yet. This man was so clingy, and she hadn't been to her spatial dimension in a long time, so she found him annoying now!

Just as Lin Yuxin was debating whether or not to take action to cripple that scheming woman, there was a commotion at the door.

The door opened, and a tall, slender figure appeared in the doorway.

Lin Yuxin turned her head and saw Li Xiaochen striding towards her.

Lin Yuxin was taken aback, then her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in delight:

What brings you here?

"It's the first day of the lunar month, so I'm not particularly busy! Also, I wanted to spend some time with you!"

Li Xiaochen naturally walked over and sat down next to Lin Yuxin.

If he hadn't been worried about damaging Xin Xin's reputation this morning, he wouldn't have left!

"Princess!"

After Wang Yu entered, he bowed to Lin Yuxin, then respectfully poured Li Xiaochen a cup of tea and stood aside to watch over him.

"Wang Yu! Happy New Year!"

Lin Yuxin glanced at Wang Yu and greeted him with a smile.

"May the Princess also have a Happy New Year!"

Wang Yuchao and Lin Yuxin then cupped their hands in congratulations.

When Uncle Jin saw the prince arrive, he quickly stood up and bowed to Li Xiaochen!

"May Your Highness be well!"

"Please sit down! No need for formalities!"

Li Xiaochen didn't mind and gestured for Uncle Jin to sit down.

Uncle Jin hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Yuxin. Only after Lin Yuxin nodded did he sit down, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, he was just a businessman before. He would make friends with some officials when he needed to, but they were all minor officials who were useful to him. He had heard of the Regent, but he had never met him.

Even if he wanted something, he couldn't ask the prince for it.

He felt like he was dreaming after being so close to him today.

However, he had over a decade of business experience, so he didn't show any expression on his face. He then tried to minimize his presence and sat there watching the people below guessing the riddles.

We've guessed the fifth one now. Qiu Jingfan guessed the first three, and others guessed the last two.

Li Xiaochen could clearly see that Lin Yuxin was in a bad mood. He was about to ask her what was wrong when he heard a knock at the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Wang Yu went to open the door, and a waiter came in carrying two lanterns. He respectfully addressed Lin Yuxin:

“Young lady, these two lanterns were won by the young master just now. He said he would give them to you.”

Lin Yuxin frowned. She knew from the riddles on the lanterns that these were the two lanterns that Qiu Jingfan had won. But why did he send them to her?

Lin Yuxin didn't speak or respond; she just sat there without moving.

Li Xiaochen's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice:

"No need, take it back to him and say that I will win it for the princess myself, he doesn't need to deliver it!"

Upon hearing that it was a princess and a prince, the waiter roughly guessed who it was. The hottest gossip in the capital recently was the marriage of the regent and Princess Pingning!

If these two are showing up together today, then it's highly likely that it's them.

"yes!"

The waiter quickly bowed respectfully, then took his lantern and left.

"Xin Xin, don't frown. If you don't like it, I'll send him out of the capital tomorrow, so you won't be annoyed by him!"

Seeing Lin Yuxin's furrowed brow, Li Xiaochen, who had been jealous, suppressed his jealousy and offered her words of comfort.

"No need. Although he's annoying, he hasn't done anything truly heinous. I can still put up with it!"

Lin Yuxin shook her head and disagreed. Sending Qiu Jingfan away now would be too obvious. With Qiu Jingfan's intelligence, he would definitely guess what was strange about her.

Although she didn't deliberately hide it, she didn't like being treated like a hot commodity. Moreover, sending Qiu Jingfan away would be dangerous for him. Once he left the capital, the new emperor of Zhao would definitely take action. If something happened, their plans would have to be put on hold.

Li Xiaochen didn't speak. He pursed his lips and decided to think of a way to make Qiu Jingfan have something to do, so that the second prince wouldn't be running around after his wife all day!

Do you really think he doesn't exist?

The two stopped talking about the topic and sat down to watch the lantern riddles below.

Question 7: Frosty clothes, snowy hair, and a jade-green beak; a flock of fishes in the stream's reflection. Startled, they fly far away, their shadows reflected on the green mountains; a pear blossom falls in the evening breeze.
