The voice was exactly the same as the one that came for patrol that night. Bai Jinjin pulled open the car curtain and saw that it was actually Lin Shuzhan. She immediately asked Zi Ling to help her get out of the car.
"Brother Zhan, were you the one who came to patrol that night?"
Lin Shuzhan was surprised when Bai Jinjin asked him about it right after getting off the car. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it was my turn to be on duty that night."
"Why? You still have to go on duty?"
Mrs. Lin saw that Bai Jinjin had not come in for a long time, so she wanted to go and take a look, but she saw her son chatting with Bai Jinjin outside with a smile on his face.
"Son, Your Highness the Princess has been traveling so long, how can you let Her Highness stand outside?"
Mrs. Lin never had any hope for her son's emotional intelligence. She stepped forward and bowed to Bai Jinjin, which scared Bai Jinjin so much that she hid away.
"Mrs. Lin is polite."
Seeing Bai Jinjin hide quickly, Lin Shuzhan chuckled.
"Please come in, Your Highness. It's very hot outside in the sun."
Bai Jinjin nodded in agreement and walked in. Because she was in the general's mansion, Bai Jinjin felt like her head was going to fall off. Finally, she sat on the chair and let out a sigh of relief.
"This is a gift for the general."
As she spoke, Zi Ling handed the calligraphy and painting to Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin opened it and took a look at it on the spot. It was a painting of koi fish traveling in the clouds. The woman put the calligraphy and painting away in surprise.
"Princess Nine, you are so kind. General has wanted this Koi Wandering Map for a long time. I didn't expect Her Highness to bring it here."
Bai Jinjin smiled stiffly, moved her neck, and said, "You're too polite, Madam. This is a gift my mother prepared for the general. She knows that the general loves calligraphy and painting."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin nodded gently and folded her hands on her legs.
"Your Highness has a good memory. She even remembered that the General loved calligraphy and painting."
Bai Jinjin said that this was a good opportunity to win over the ministers' hearts.
"General Fuyuan has made great military achievements and is an indispensable part of the Qin State. This is just a small matter, Madam, don't worry about it."
Lin Shuzhan found it amazing to see how Bai Jinjin interacted with her mother. Few people could keep up with his mother's jumping thoughts.
Sure enough, Mrs. Lin's thoughts began to wander.
"Does Your Highness, Princess, have a beloved man?"
The girl was stunned by the question.
"No, no."
Mrs. Lin's brows immediately lit up and she was about to say something, but Lin Shuzhan behind Bai Jinjin gave her a warning look, and Mrs. Lin's expression immediately dimmed.
"Ah, so that's how it is. The princess hasn't found a lover yet."
Bai Jinjin blinked, looked back at Lin Shuzhan, then looked at Mrs. Lin, pursed her lips, covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
Lin Shuzhan noticed that Bai Jinjin's gaze was unnatural and he avoided it a little.
Mrs. Lin was no longer anxious when she saw the two of them act so suddenly. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. She really liked the Ninth Princess and it would be best if she could marry her.
"Your Highness, would you like to have lunch here?"
Bai Jinjin smiled awkwardly and said, "Since Madam has invited me so graciously, how could I not agree?"
Madam Lin stood up and said, "In that case, I will go and keep an eye on the maids. Zhan'er will accompany you from now on."
The girl stood up and nodded, "Mrs. Lin, you're welcome."
Watching Mrs. Lin walking away, Bai Jinjin sat down on the chair and gently pounded her shoulders. Oh my God, her neck felt like it was broken in just this short time.
Lin Shuzhan still knew that Bai Jinjin would definitely not be used to these luxurious clothes. He raised his hand and a maid walked behind Bai Jinjin and rubbed her shoulders.
Bai Jinjin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Shuzhan with gratitude.
"Oh my God, Brother Zhan, you practically saved my life."
The girl closed her eyes comfortably and curled up like a kitten. Lin Shuzhan looked at Bai Jinjin with a smile in his eyes.
"Princess, you're being polite. Consider it my apology to you."
Hmm? Apologize? Bai Jinjin opened her eyes and looked at Lin Shuzhan in confusion.
"What apology?"
"It was my fault that I injured Her Royal Highness's wrist that day."
Just this matter, Bai Jinjin waved her hand and said: "It's not a big deal, brother Zhan, don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, Lin Shuzhan looked at Bai Jinjin seriously.
"The princess is worth a lot of money. How can I just brush off such a serious offense that day?"
Bai Jinjin raised her eyebrows. Lin Shuzhan was surprisingly law-abiding.
"So, Brother Zhan, go buy me some candied haws. If you buy me some, I'll forgive you, okay?"
When Lin Shuzhan heard this, he immediately stood up and walked outside.
"Princess, please wait a moment. I'll go buy it now."
Looking at the young man's tall figure, Bai Jinjin held her chin and chuckled as she watched him leave.
"What a fool."
Soon, a arrogant and rude female voice came out.
"I'll see who dares to stop me. I'm here to find Brother Zhan. Do you know our relationship? What qualifications do you have to stop me?"
The harsh sound made Bai Jinjin frown, and Xiao Si's voice of stopping her also reached Bai Jinjin's ears.
"Miss Li, we have distinguished guests in the mansion today and you cannot enter."
"What distinguished guests! I think it's just those vixens trying to seduce Brother Zhan! Don't stop me, I want to go in."
Xiao Si didn't dare to hurt her and could only use his arms to stop her.
"Miss Li, it's true. We really have a distinguished guest. Please come back another day."
Soon, a woman in a pink waist-length dress swaggered in. The woman had a pretty face, but the arrogant and unreasonable expression on her face destroyed her scholarly temperament.
Li Qi walked into the hall with a proud look on her face wearing green embroidered shoes, while Bai Jinjin drank tea calmly.
It seems that today's itinerary will not be boring.
After kicking Xiao Si away, Li Qi saw Bai Jinjin sitting in the middle of the hall. She was wearing a bright yellow dress that only the royal family could wear, with gold ornaments on her head. Her curved willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be able to speak were looking at her heart-shaped face, making her look extremely delicate.
"Another vixen trying to seduce my brother Zhan."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin sneered but ignored her. However, Li Qi was used to being willful, so when he saw Bai Jinjin actually laughing at him, he stepped forward and wanted to compete with Bai Jinjin. Bai Jinjin calmly poured the water in the teacup onto the ground.
Li Qi walked too fast and slipped and fell to the ground.
"Ouch."
With her chin pressed straight against the floor, Bai Jinjin couldn't help but spit out the tea in her mouth, which landed all over Li Qi's face.
When Mrs. Lin returned to the hall, she was so frightened to see Li Qi pointing his finger at Bai Jinjin that her eyes almost popped out of her head.
Bai Jinjin quickly asked the maid to serve Li Qi, and said softly when she saw Mrs. Lin.
"Madam, Zi Ling just told me that my father has something to ask me to go back, so I'm sorry, Madam, I have to go back now."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin sighed and nodded.
"Then I look forward to the princess coming again next time."
