Chapter 343: Waiting for an Opportunity to Spy
Could it be that he found out something?
Thinking of the note they found when they met the assassin in the inn, Lin Baoer narrowed her eyes.
It seems strange.
I hope she is overthinking.
At noon, since November, the temperature has gradually dropped, especially when approaching Kyoto. If you don’t wear a thick winter coat during the day, the biting cold wind will penetrate into your clothes and chill you to the bone.
"It's so cold, Sister Baoer." Jiang Yuzhi rubbed his hands. At least he paid attention to his image and didn't put his hands in his pockets like a big man as usual. He also dressed more formally.
"It looks like it will snow soon." Lin Baoer looked at the sky and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi stamped his feet, somewhat excited, "New Year's Eve will be in two months, and this is my first time to celebrate the New Year in a foreign country, it's really novel."
Lin Baoer blinked.
A foreign country?
If it is considered modern, she is also in a foreign country now, right?
Thinking about it now, many modern things have long been blurred in her mind, and only some things that occasionally emerge remind her that she is not from this world.
New Year's Eve...
Spring Festival, firecrackers, New Year's Eve dinner, streets full of lights and wine, crowded squares...
After a while, she closed her eyes and sighed, "It's getting late, let's go to the main hall first."
Main hall.
"Seventh Prince, Miss Lin and Miss Jiang are here." Uncle Fu whispered beside Lin Zhishen.
Lin Zhishen nodded, "Please let them in."
Lin Baoer just walked in and noticed the person sitting next to Lin Zhishen.
He looked about three or four points like Lin Zhishen, with a delicate and young face, and he should be only eighteen or nineteen years old. When he saw them, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled with a smile.
"Royal brother, is this the woman you brought back from Taiping Kingdom?"
Lin Zhishen ignored him, moved his seat, and looked at Lin Baoer with a gentle look, "Sit down."
His behavior surprised Jiang Yu even more. You know, although Lin Zhishen used to be gentle and not the kind of person who would keep people at a distance, after getting to know him, you can still find that he would deliberately keep a distance from others, gentle and distant, and his attitude was just right. He never got too close to others, and he was not close to women.
Now it was like this, but it overturned his perception of Lin Zhishen.
When did his royal brother care so much about a woman?
That obviously intimate behavior could not be learned deliberately.
In this way, Jiang Yu looked at Lin Baoer with more interest.
Interesting.
"I have met the tenth prince."
Lin Baoer did not sit down first, but bowed to Jiang Yu first, and Jiang Yuzhi next to her followed suit, "I have met the tenth prince."
She was named a princess at the age of three, and since then she has never bowed to anyone else. It is still very awkward to do so now.
But she has to be polite. This is what Shen Xuelan taught her, because she is the representative of Lin Zhishen after all, and she can't let others laugh at her.
"Hey! Miss Lin, there is no need to do this." Jiang Yu quickly stood up and helped her up, smiling: "My brother has already told me that you are the princess of Taiping State. In this sense, your status is not worse than mine, so you don't have to stick to this superficial etiquette."
Hearing this, Lin Baoer frowned and looked at Lin Zhishen calmly.
It is true that she is the princess of Taiping State, but after knowing Lin Zhishen, he should know that she does not want to use this identity to cause trouble, so she has always kept it a secret from the people around her.
But why did he tell Jiang Yu directly this time?
What exactly does he want to do?
But now is not the time to ask this question. She smiled and said nothing more and sat down.
Jiang Yuzhi automatically acted as a background board. She knew that if she hadn't followed Lin Baoer and Lin Zhishen so stubbornly, she might not be able to meet the royal family in her life. Naturally, she also knew that today's banquet had nothing to do with her, so she just treated herself as a transparent person, as long as she didn't cause trouble.
"Royal brother, did you find the person you were looking for this time? You've been out for a whole year this time! I'm so bored, why don't you take me out next time? This capital is full of rules and regulations, and it's not fun at all."
After half a round of wine, Jiang Yu began to complain without restraint, and did not treat Lin Baoer and the others as outsiders.
"Do you think the emperor will allow you to leave the capital?" Lin Zhishen glanced at him and drank the wine in the glass.
Jiang Yu was different from him. His mother was the daughter of an important official in the court. His mother's family was very powerful in the capital, so the emperor still cared about his son. Although he did not personally take care of everything, he would occasionally summon him to the palace to meet and chat.
His mother was also very strict with him, so he didn't have any bad habits of a playboy when he grew up, and his character and behavior were also okay.
This is why Lin Zhishen was willing to play with him.
Of course, there was another reason.
The concubines of other princes and princesses looked down on Lin Zhishen, a prince of low birth, and felt that there was no need to make friends with him. Sometimes they would use his childhood to criticize him, especially when he just recognized his identity. Many people targeted him, but Jiang Yu's mother treated him very gently and compassionately, and occasionally asked Jiang Yu to help him.
After a few visits, the two became so familiar with each other.
"Oh, I'm so tired of reciting those nonsense every day." Jiang Yu curled his lips, "I envy you, my royal brother, so much that you can run around without anyone bothering you."
Lin Zhishen paused and drank another glass of wine.
Lin Baoer also glanced at Jiang Yu and sighed inwardly. Is
this guy doing it intentionally or unintentionally?
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Jiang Yu reacted a little bit late, blushing and quickly defending himself, "Royal brother! I didn't mean that, I meant..."
"I know." Lin Zhishen said gently, "It's okay."
"Since you want to go out, then do some good work and achieve some results. Maybe Concubine Xuan will be willing to let you go out and play." "
Isn't this embarrassing for me..." Jiang Yu was interrupted and wailed.
After watching for a long time, Lin Baoer didn't see anything wrong with Jiang Yu. She only saw that he and Lin Zhishen had a very good relationship and he didn't have any bad intentions.
But what if all this was just an act?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Baoer felt a headache.
Forget it, let Lin Zhishen think about these things. He can do whatever he wants. She just wants to lie down. Palace fighting is not suitable for her.
But she doesn't plan to get involved. Someone will find her.
"Miss Lin, Miss Jiang, your Taiping Kingdom should be very different from Jiang Kingdom, right? What is your Kyoto like? Is it the same as ours? What about food and entertainment? How about I take you to Kyoto one day, and you can tell me some interesting stories about Taiping Kingdom?"
