Princess Lin'an saw her maid secretly looking at Jiang Nan and was very unhappy. She waved her hand and said, "You all can go." When the maids retreated, she pulled Jiang Nan to sit beside her and said with a smile: "You know what's in my heart. If you are bored, you should stay with me more often. Don't always run away without a trace and let me look for you everywhere."
She was also puzzled in her heart. She usually didn't take men seriously at all, but since Jiang Nan came to the house, from the first moment she saw him, she felt that he was different from other men. Those people were flattering and obsequious. Although it was very satisfying at first, over time, she felt that those people were very boring and - they didn't act like men at all. But later Yuan Yu introduced Jiang Nan to her. He was handsome and cold, talented in both civil and military affairs, and personable. He didn't look like an ordinary aide at all. From the first time she saw this man, her heart started pounding. An inexplicable desire and excitement made her fall in love with the masculine man in front of her.
Yes, Jiang Nan is different from any man around her. There is a kind of pride in him, a kind of nobility that he tries hard to hide but is revealed in his every move. This kind of nobility strictly distinguishes him from those men who tend to follow the crowd. He stayed by her side, but never took the initiative to approach her. She didn't know for what purpose he came to her, but she was sure he would definitely take the initiative to beg her. When that time comes, just lose those other people, he woud belong to her completely.
But she waited for one month, two months, three months... He never made any move, as if he was just a simple aide, coming in and out of her courtyard. There are many such staff in her house, and only the best among them can make her take a second look, so they try their best to please her, hoping to become her pet, but he always dismisses such an opportunity. Whenever she held a banquet with those people, he would sit quietly aside and watch her with that mocking look, as if he was completely detached.
His figure, handsome face, and cold gaze were always swaying in front of her eyes, and she gradually felt that she could no longer bear it. She found that she really liked this man, which was completely different from the perfunctory way she treated her consort in the past and the toy mentality she had when dealing with male concubines. She began to look forward to every time he opened his mouth, even if he said a few words, and every time he visited she would spend a whole hour dressing up. Finally, Princess Lin'an couldn't wait any longer. Taking advantage of one night, she lowered her pride and took the initiative to knock on his door wearing a veil...
From that night on, he truly became her lover. But every time, it was not her who called him, but when he was happy, he would come to her room occasionally. Because of this, she felt that he was different from others. So she began to long for the person she really loved every night. She fell in love with a wonderful man, a real man. She felt happy to have his company.
However, she was not sure about this young man's temperament. When he was happy, he would smile at her and make fun of her, but when he was unhappy, he would often turn around and leave. She was once angry and intended to deal with him the same way she dealt with other people. Unfortunately, the more she tried, the more she realized that it was ridiculous and useless. Therefore, she had to hold him high, look up to him, and lower herself. This way of getting along might be weird, but she felt very comfortable.
The colder he is, the more she wants to win his heart. Probably no one will understand such a twisted mentality. She leaned lightly on Jiang Nan's arm and said with a smile: "Fourth brother died inexplicably. My mother has been unhappy recently, so I can't enter the palace. But staying at home is really boring, so I plan to host a banquet and have some fun."
Jiang Nan said with a half-smile: "His Highness Grand Prince Yan has just passed away. Is it appropriate for the princess to do this?"
Princess Lin'an smiled proudly: "Who dares to say a word to me?"
