Chapter 55 Chapter 56 The Prince Returns

"Me? I just went out to enjoy the flowers!" Lin Yuqing said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

For some reason, Lin Yuqing always felt that Lin Jianyue looked at her with scrutiny and understanding, which made Lin Yuqing feel guilty, but she also understood that Lin Jianyue didn't know anything at all.

"Oh? I wonder which girl my sister went with today? I also want to enjoy the flowers. Where did I go to enjoy the flowers?" Lin Jianyue stood at the door of the mansion with a smile.

Lin Yuqing held up her bun and forced a smile, "I just casually went to the countryside to enjoy the flowers. You don't even know those girls!"

"Really?" Lin Jianyue's voice was deep. She walked towards Lin Yuqing step by step. Lin Yuqing was so frightened that she almost didn't step back. It was Yun Jin beside her who supported Lin Yuqing to prevent Lin Yuqing from losing her composure.

"Sister, this eight-treasure hairpin is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?" Lin Jianyue said, gently fiddling with the hairpin on Lin Yuqing's bun, but she was thinking in her heart that the prince was very fond of her sister. They were so affectionate and loyal that they even thought of bringing gifts to Lin Yuqing when they went to provide disaster relief.

Lin Yuqing quickly waved away Lin Jianyue's arm, which was a bit strong.

"This is a gift from a good friend!" Lin Yuqing treasured this hairpin very much, and the scene of today's private meeting with the prince also came to mind.

The prince missed and cherished herself so much, and Lin Yuqing also knew that if Lin Jianyue hadn't stood between the prince and her, she and the prince would have been lovers long ago and finally got married, so there was no need to be secretive.

"It turns out that my sister has a friend that I don't know!" Lin Jianyue pointed out.

Lin Yuqing and Lin Jianyue walked into the mansion side by side. Lin Yuqing looked at Lin Jianyue and deliberately asked, "Today the prince returns. My sister and the prince haven't seen each other for a long time. I guess my sister must have gone to greet the prince, right?"

Lin Jianyue smiled lightly, "The prince is returning today. He has to meet the Holy Emperor and pay his respects to the Queen. How can I disturb him at this time?"

One sentence made Lin Yuqing pale.

Lin Yuqing remembered that the prince had just returned home today, and she couldn't wait to find him. The two had a private meeting for a long time, and she didn't know if she had delayed the prince's business. "Sister must also know very well that the prince and I are childhood sweethearts, and naturally we are not in a hurry. Moreover, the Queen already wants me and the prince to get married as soon as possible. By then, I will be the Crown Princess of the East Palace, and I will naturally be able to see the prince every day!" Lin Jianyue said, deliberately showing a bit of yearning and shyness.

But Lin Yuqing gritted her teeth. She was afraid that with Lin Jianyue's appearance, if she entered the prince's residence and the prince and Lin Jianyue faced each other every day, would they really not be tempted by her?

Lin Jianyue didn't care what Lin Yuqing thought. She still had a lot of use in keeping Lin Yuqing. As long as she could contact the marriage contract, it would be the time for her to ask Lin Yuqing and the Houfu for advice.

At this time, the prince Yang Shi'an had just returned to the prince's residence from the palace and handled official duties. The prince was already a little tired, but he always felt that there seemed to be something left unfinished.

The prince thought about it and suddenly thought of his fiancée.

In the past, no matter where the prince went, Lin Jianyue would not only wait at the city gate when he returned, but would even bring many rare treasures. But today, when he returned to the palace in such a high-profile manner, he did not see Lin Jianyue's shadow.

"Can Miss Lin come to the mansion today?" the prince asked.

The eunuch Jin Zhong who was waiting next to him also shook his head in confusion, "Miss Lin didn't show up today. She must be in poor health. After all, Miss Lin injured herself some time ago in order to pray for you, the prince!"

When the prince heard this, he didn't feel much in his heart. After all, Lin Jianyue had done too many things for him since he was a child. The prince had become numb from the initial touching, and even felt bored.

But the prince remembered what his mother said today. The treasury was now empty. Although he was in the East Palace, other princes were also eyeing him. At this time, the most important thing was to marry Lin Jianyue into the palace as soon as possible.

The prince knew which was more important and which was less important. Although he felt that Lin Jianyue was dull and boring, he also understood that Lin Jianyue was the best candidate for the crown prince.

"Feel free to give me a gift, and I will visit Miss Lin in person tomorrow!" The prince said, turning and leaving.
