The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 230 His Highness is an exceptionally good person
After a pause, Qian Yao looked at Lin Qingyan and continued, "Lord Lin, although my prince has lived in Baiyujing for three years, he has been pampered by my master during these three years, with boxes of the finest things being sent to Baiyujing."

“My princess doesn’t care much about these material possessions, but the head of the family dotes on her, so he always takes extra care of her.”

"Lord Lin, you should understand what I mean by what I'm saying."

Lin Qingyan smiled and looked at Qian Yao, his clear and gentle features unchanged: "Did Mr. Si Ning ask Lord Qian Yao to say these things to me?"

Qian Yao shook his head honestly: "It was my own idea."

"If it were my young master, he might have said something even more outrageous than I did."

As he spoke, Qian Yao clasped his hands in a salute to Lin Qingyan: "I am grateful to Young Master Lin for taking good care of my Highness. His Highness may seem carefree, but he is actually very perceptive and knows everything."

"If Your Highness has displeased Young Master Lin—"

At this point, Qian Yao paused.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan smiled and replied, "If I have offended you, I should forgive you."

“No, Young Master Lin should accept it,” Qian Yao replied without any politeness.

He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness rarely makes mistakes. If you have truly displeased Young Master Lin, then it must be Young Master Lin who has done something wrong."

"Therefore, Young Master Lin must accept this."

He would never ask Lin Qingyan for "to be more understanding".

In Qian Yao's view, Jiang Jinshuang was both literate and martial, and so intelligent that she was almost supernatural; she would not make any mistakes.

If anyone is wrong, it must be someone else who is.

Upon hearing Qian Yao's words, Lin Qingyan was taken aback at first, then chuckled and lowered his eyebrows: "I suddenly realize that Your Highness seems to be more likable than I imagined."

Qian Yao frowned and said seriously, "My princess doesn't need to please anyone; she is an exceptionally good person."

Why do you make it sound like Your Highness needs to do those flattering things to please others?
Your Highness is Your Highness; Your Highness doesn't need to do anything.

His Highness is a wonderful person just by standing there, and naturally a group of people like him.

That's only natural.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan said nothing more, but bowed to Qian Yao with his hands clasped, saying, "I will follow Lord Qian Yao's teachings."
-
When Qian Yao brought out all the food, Jiang Jinshuang and Si Ning were discussing their next plan.

Jiang Jinshuang shared the information she had obtained from Jiang Biechen with Si Ning.

"Does Your Highness mean that Prince Changping, Jiang Zeyi, secretly met with Prince Ruiyang, and that Prince Ruiyang must have said something to Prince Changping, intentionally or unintentionally, which emboldened Prince Changping to rebel?"

Jiang Jinshuang nodded, her expression serious: "If we could find out what the Prince of Changping heard back then, it might be a clue."

Si Ning narrowed her eyes and looked up at Jiang Jinshuang.

Jiang Jinshuang also looked up and met Si Ning's eyes.

Both of them saw what the other was thinking.

"If I remember correctly, the personal guard of the Prince of Changping seemed to have escaped during the defeat?"

Jiang Jinshuang smiled, clearly having the same thought as Si Ning.

"I have already secretly sent people to investigate, and I expect to have news soon."

Si Ning nodded: "If we can pry something out of that person, we'll have a clue about the case of His Highness Prince Ruiyang's rebellion back then."

Jiang Jinshuang took a deep breath, feeling the gentle breeze coming from the ship.

The summer heat was intense, but the lake surface was cool and refreshing, making it a pleasant and pleasant place to be.

Just as the two finished their conversation, Qianyao brought over cooked fish and other dishes to them.

"Your Highness, Young Master, the food is ready."

Lin Qingyan washed her hands and regained her previous calm and elegant demeanor.

Jiang Jinshuang glanced at the sumptuous meal on the table and took a deep sniff of the aroma of the roasted fish.

"Qianyao, your cooking skills seem to have improved again!" Jiang Jinshuang commented in a good mood.

Qian Yao scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly: "Then Your Highness, eat a few more bites and see if it suits your taste."

"it is good!"

Inviting Lin Qingyan to sit down as well, the three of them sat together. Jiang Jinshuang picked up a pair of chopsticks and took the first bite of the grilled fish. The sweet and fresh taste spread across her tongue, and Jiang Jinshuang gave Qian Yao a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

Upon seeing this, Qian Yao chuckled.

Despite saying it was delicious, Jiang Jinshuang only ate a few bites.

Then they started eating the other dishes.

Seeing this, Qian Yao didn't say anything. This time, His Highness ate several bites, more than before!
Lin Qingyan, who had just finished talking with Qian Yao, looked at Jiang Jinshuang, who had only eaten a few bites of fish, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please eat more if you like it. I just saw that Lord Qian Yao put a lot of effort into cooking this fish."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang took two more bites, but then didn't touch the grilled fish again.

Qianyao stir-fried crab roe for Jiang Jinshuang, and she ate quite a bit of it.

Although Lin Qingyan understood the principle of not speaking while eating or sleeping, he also knew how to be flexible. The group ate and chatted, and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

After finishing his meal, Si Ning glanced ahead.

—We've taken a boat trip around the lake and are almost at shore.

"Qianyao, take it."

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Si Ning asked Qian Yao to clear away the dishes and bowls.

"Yes."

Jiang Jinshuang stretched, got up and walked to the side of the boat, leaning against it as if admiring the scenery on both banks.

Lin Qingyan had just drunk a little wine and was taking a nap with her eyes half-closed.

Si Ning glanced in Jiang Jinshuang's direction.

He got up and walked over to her.

Seeing Si Ning approach, Jiang Jinshuang scratched her neck and looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Si Ning looked at Jiang Jinshuang for a long while, then reached out her hand.

Jiang Jinshuang feigned ignorance: "What? What?"

Si Ning ignored her and directly reached out to pull Jiang Jinshuang's arm, lifting up a corner of her sleeve.

I developed a rash.

The handsome brows frowned slightly.

Seeing that she couldn't dodge it, Jiang Jinshuang laughed and asked, "When did you find out?"

Si Ning pursed her lips, her tone slightly cold: "You didn't notice because you ate less the last few times, but you ate too much today, and now you have a rash on your neck."

Jiang Jinshuang subconsciously covered her neck and said with a grin, "I'm just greedy. Eating fish will give me rashes, but I just can't control myself and insist that Qianyao cook it for me."

Si Ning's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and her voice tightened slightly.

"Is it because of what happened back then—"

"Si Ning".

Before Si Ning could finish speaking, Jiang Jinshuang interrupted with a smile.

She looked at Si Ning, her eyes gentle, a smile playing on her lips: "That's all in the past."

It seems that after experiencing countless trials and tribulations, she was able to say something very calmly in the end.

It's in the past.

Si Ning lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions within.

"Your Highness, you don't need to blame yourself like this."

To punish yourself in this way.

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and said, "I was just craving fish and wanted to try it. These rashes will go away soon."

Jiang Jinshuang didn't care much about these things.

—She seems to care about nothing.

Three hundred miles of wind and frost in Baiyujing could not break her spine.
