On the way back home, he heard a lot about this little horse slave from Xiaopang. In Xiaopang's eyes, he was someone who used his daughter with ulterior motives and even deceived his daughter.
But he had never met this person before. He was just using and deceiving him. These words probably couldn't be used to describe his daughter.
After all, outsiders don't know, but as a father, he still understands his daughter. She is not the arrogant, domineering, and brainless princess that outsiders see.
She is so smart!
She is the only one who plays tricks on others, no one else would deceive her.
After hearing what Xiaopang said, King Jinyang became more certain of his own judgment, but he didn't know what game his daughter wanted to play this time.
Xu Jinyi pulled He Junlian in front of King Jinyang and said, "Father, take a look. Do I have good taste? This little horse slave is good-looking. It will be a great honor to take him out."
"Being tall also allows me to ride a big horse. It's so much fun to catch butterflies while riding on it."
Prince Jinyang stared at He Junlan, who was as tall as him, and his eyes became alert, simply because the person in front of him gave him a sense of danger.
The sharp eyes and the aura of a superior make it impossible to underestimate the young man in front of you.
Even though he is no longer the third prince of Liang, but has become a horse slave, he does not show any fear.
Prince Jinyang admired such a man, but now that he was with his daughter, he had to be on guard.
He Junlan clenched his hands, and was actually very nervous inside, but he didn't show it on his face. The sweat on his palms was a good proof of it.
Because the person in front of him is the father of his beloved, if he wants to marry the girl in the future, he will have to pass the test of his father-in-law.
Prince Jinyang asked his guards to hand the horse to He Junlian. His face showed no emotion, and He Junlian was unsure of what he meant. He took the reins and pulled away.
Xiaopang didn’t disturb the father-daughter time, and just said he would come over in two days.
In the hall, Prince Jinyang handed all the rare gems he had brought back from far away to Xu Jinyi: "Tell me, what happened to that little horse slave?"
Xu Jinyi played with the rubies and emeralds in the box with sparkling eyes, and answered honestly, not intending to hide it from her father.
"Didn't father know everything? Little Bell should have reported everything to you, right?" Xu Jinyi blinked rapidly at King Jinyang, looking very funny.
Prince Jinyang was amused by her and said, "As long as you are happy, keep it if you like."
Looking at his grown-up daughter in front of him, King Jinyang felt sad.
Another year has passed, and his beautiful daughter's days are numbered, but he, as a father, has not yet found a way to save her.
"Father, you won't scold me, will you? He is the third prince of Liang. The emperor will not scold me because I am young, but I am afraid that when you enter the palace..."
"The emperor is very suspicious. Will my actions bring you trouble, father?"
Prince Jinyang rubbed her head and said, "Why are you thinking so much, kid? Your father is here."
Xu Jinyi's words reminded King Jinyang of this assassination attempt, and he couldn't help but feel chilled.
To be honest, he has no idea about the eldest brother in power.
If he had an idea, he would have had a 50% chance of getting that position, but the emperor's mind was unpredictable.
In his opinion, they are brothers, why would it be like this?
Thinking of Xiao Lingdang's report, King Jinyang felt that he still had to give some instructions.
"Jiaoyang, do you really like that little horse slave?"
"Of course I like him? Otherwise, why would I care so much about him?" Xu Jinyi said as a matter of course.
"Then what if Father asks him to..."
"No……"
Xu Jinyi knew what he was going to say and refused without thinking.
"If possible, I hope that when my father comes to the palace to see the emperor, he will agree to what the emperor said."
Prince Jinyang looked at her and said, "Jiaoyang, if you like, don't worry about what your uncle the emperor thinks. He won't let down his guard against us just because father promised to send your little horse slave back to Liang State."
"Father knows you are intelligent. You must understand why I have been away all these years, leaving you at home."
Now that everything was out in the open, Xu Jinyi stared intently into King Jinyang's eyes, saying, "Father, I don't want to be a canary anymore. He Junlian is a hostage, and so am I."
"I like He Junlian, but not possessively, so I hope he can return to Liang State, finish his own business, and then talk about love."
"And I can't be so selfish. I am now..."
Prince Jinyang's eyes were red, and he patted Xu Jinyi's shoulder: "It is your father who is sorry for you. I haven't found a solution for so many years."
Xu Jinyi shook his head: "There are still two years left. I think my luck has always been pretty good."
Prince Jinyang patted her head lovingly and said, "Do whatever you want to do. As long as you are happy, your father will cooperate with you."
"Thank you, Father."
When He Junlian came back after brushing the horse, Xu Jinyi was already sitting on the swing with a smile on her face.
Seeing He Junlian coming over, Xu Jinyi's cunning eyes turned, and he suddenly let go of his hand: "Little horse slave, catch me quickly."
He Junlian was frightened by her sudden action. He stood on tiptoe and rushed forward to catch her, putting his big hands around her slender waist.
The two were so close that they seemed to be able to feel each other's heartbeats.
After the beginning of spring, people didn’t wear much clothes, and He Junlan could even feel the scorching temperature through the clothes.
The unique fragrance of the woman in his arms kept reaching his nose, and her curvy body pressed against him, making his ears turn dark red.
"Hahaha... you are so funny, little slave. You are actually blushing. Could it be that you have fallen in love with this princess?" Xu Jinyi winked at him with a joking tone.
