Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

"So what?"

This understatement seemed to make the cold and otherworldly aura of the eldest princess in front of her suddenly collapse.

So what?

She is threatening!

She has mastered the biggest secret about the Prince Lin in front of her... He is fake!

She was not interested in the reason why Lin Jiangnian pretended to be Prince Lin, and she didn't know what he was planning.

But she knew that pretending to be Prince Lin was Lin Jiangnian's biggest secret.

The dignified son of Prince Lin was actually impersonated by someone else. This crime would be punishable by the nine clans. If the Prince Lin of Linzhou knew the truth, the fate of the man in front of him would be tragic.

There will be no place for him in this world.

If so, why couldn't she use this as a threat?

She wanted to use this person's biggest secret to blackmail him into compromising and use it for herself.

After all, Lin Jiangnian had already experienced life and death. Even if his secret was exposed now, he still remained calm and did not show any panic.

The original Prince Lin had already died in the ruined temple that night. All traces have been wiped away by Liu Su.

There cannot be two identical people in the world, and no one will ever believe that there is another person in the world who is exactly the same as Prince Lin.

So……

Even if the eldest princess in front of her discovered some clues, things were far from the worst.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's plan may come to nothing."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly, "I don't know why Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly guessed that this prince is a fake, but this idea is a fantasy... Since my prince is the prince of Prince Lin, how can he pretend to be a fake?"

"The eldest princess wants to use this 'something out of nothing' to coerce this prince, but I'm afraid she's thinking too much..."

The eldest princess stared into his eyes: "You don't have to hide it...you are not Prince Lin, you can't deceive me."

"Since I can see through your disguise, I can naturally find evidence..."

At this point, she paused for a moment, looked at him again, and said: "However, I am really not interested in you pretending to be Prince Lin. If you are willing to help me, I will not mention this matter again... maybe , I can also help you, how about it?"

"Why is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess so aggressive? This prince is actually Prince Lin's prince, how can it be fake?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed: "Even if you take ten thousand steps back, I will be considered a fake... What Her Royal Highness the Princess wants me to do is to mention to Your Majesty that you will break off the engagement..."

"As the eldest son of Prince Lin, if I refuse the marriage granted by His Majesty, I will be rebelling against the decree. If the son of the vassal prince resists the decree, it is tantamount to the crime of treason..."

"This prince cannot bear the crime of treason!"

The eldest princess' cold eyes were calm: "I don't need you to break off the engagement to my father."

"Aren't you going to break off the engagement?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled.

"Then what do you mean..."

"Of course it's not a marriage."

The eldest princess looked coldly: "I need your cooperation to put the marriage on hold until the situation in the court is stabilized."

Is the situation in the court stable?

Lin Jiangnian stared at the woman in white in front of him, thoughtfully.

"How long will it take for the situation in the court to stabilize as Her Royal Highness the Princess said?"

"have no idea."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "You mean, if the situation in the court becomes unstable one day, the marriage between you and me will be put on hold?"

"Um."

The eldest princess nodded expressionlessly.

"That sounds good, but..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Will Your Majesty agree?"

The eldest princess was silent for a moment: "My father is still in seclusion, and the date of his release is unknown... This matter requires the cooperation of you and me."

"So, the eldest princess should have had this idea for a long time, right?"

Lin Jiangnian seemed to have seen through something.

The eldest princess looked cold and silent.

"However, I am very curious, why does the eldest princess do this?"

Lin Jiangnian asked: "Although the marriage contract can be put aside for the time being, it still needs to be faced after all... What should we do when the time comes?"

"Is this marriage between you and me a success, or what?"

The eldest princess said calmly: "When the time comes, there will be a solution."

"Then why not now?"

Lin Jiangnian asked back: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to marry this prince, why don't you just call off the marriage between you and me?"

"Why don't you go?" The eldest princess glanced at him with an expressionless face.

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course it's because I want to marry you, the eldest princess!"

"..."

"Do you agree or not?"

The eldest princess stared at him, expressionless.

Lin Jiangnian put his arms on the stone table and moved slightly closer to the eldest princess in front of him.

At the moment, both of them are pretending to be confused.

The eldest princess knew Lin Jiangnian's fake identity, and Lin Jiangnian also knew that his identity had been exposed. But both of them hid this in a tacit understanding.

"It is indeed a good proposal, but I would also like to ask, when will the court be able to stabilize?"

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes: "If it continues to be unstable, won't this prince have to stay in the capital?"

The eldest princess was silent for a while, glanced at him, and then said, "Wait until His Highness the Crown Prince recovers."

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes and understood something instantly.

The eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the third prince were from the same ancestry, and were born to the Queen of the current dynasty. They were full brothers and sisters from the same father and mother.

But the relationship between the three is not as good as the outside world rumored!

His Royal Highness, Li Cunning, was the crown prince appointed by the emperor, but the third prince was not willing to be an idle prince.

Perhaps it was because of the same birth, or perhaps because of the emperor's favor for the queen, that the love of the house was transferred to the third prince. Therefore, compared with other princes, the third prince only maintained favor in the capital, and he was one of the few princes who could still stay in the capital after reaching adulthood.

As for the eldest princess in front of her, it is said that she is closer to His Highness the Crown Prince, but there is some estrangement and conflict between her and the third prince.

Come to think of it, it's not difficult to understand.

We are all brothers and sisters. Why do you support the prince but not the king?

Is it just because he was born before me?

In terms of talent and strategy, in what way is this king inferior to the prince?

It is unknown what kind of twisted mentality the third prince had due to jealousy, resentment, and anger...

Of course, others don't know the specific situation, but they can roughly guess that the eldest princess is close to His Royal Highness.

Now there are rumors in the capital that His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill and that the court is in danger and is full of smoke. Under such circumstances, the eldest princess suddenly mentioned to him that she would put the marriage on hold for the time being. This was very subtle and worthy of scrutiny...

It was also at this moment that Lin Jiangnian quickly weighed the pros and cons.

When he came to Beijing this time, he had no intention of marrying the eldest princess. Now she proposed to put the marriage on hold for the time being, which was a good choice for Lin Jiangnian.

In addition, the situation in the court of the Daning Dynasty is also one of Lin Jiangnian's greatest concerns. After all, it is related to the important fate of the life and death of Prince Lin's palace.

Is it because the dynasty made up its mind and decided to cut off the vassals, or is it because the dynasty chose to negotiate a peace and turn the hostility into friendship...

Everything is unknown for now!

But he did not miss an opportunity. Lin Jiangnian might be able to take the opportunity to find out the situation in the court, so that Prince Lin's palace could have plans in advance.

"I wonder how your Royal Highness is doing now?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked.

The eldest princess stared at Lin Jiangnian and said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian smiled: "I have a marriage contract with you, and His Highness the Crown Prince can be regarded as my... quasi-brother-in-law."

"My prince is concerned about the health of my brother-in-law-to-be. Is that okay?"

The eldest princess calmly withdrew her gaze: "It's okay."

Although it is a simple sentence, it is not really as good as it seems on the surface. His Royal Highness has been ill for some time. If it was an ordinary illness, how could it be that he has not recovered until now?

His Highness the Crown Prince's illness may be a little unusual.

"If there is a chance, I would like to go into the palace to visit His Highness the Crown Prince. I have heard for a long time that His Highness the Crown Prince is talented and kind-hearted. It is a great regret that I have not had the opportunity to see it with my own eyes!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed with emotion, but saw the eldest princess staring at him without saying a word.

"how?"

The eldest princess remained silent, wondering what she was thinking.

The cold wind poured into the pavilion, but she still sat quietly, upright, her bare hands gently placed on the stone table, and her eyes looked at Lin Jiangnian.

"How have you considered it?"

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes, met her eyes, and then chuckled: "If I agree to you, what will be the benefit?"

"I have already said it."

"not enough."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head, "My prince will help you shelve your marriage. This will risk His Majesty's wrath. It is even very possible that our Lin family will be accused of treason... This matter is so dangerous. Could it be that the eldest princess plans to dismiss me easily?" Crown Prince?"

The eldest princess stared at Lin Jiangnian with cold eyes.

a long time!

"What other benefits do you want?"

"What can the eldest princess give to this prince?"

"you say!"

The eldest princess's voice was concise and to the point.

Lin Jiangnian smiled and looked at the eldest princess quietly before his eyes fell on the exquisite long sword on the stone table.

The scabbard is exquisite, with clearly visible lines carved on it. There is a faint cold air surrounding the sword body. It can be seen to the naked eye that it is a rare sword.

As if he noticed something, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and met the eyes of the eldest princess again.

"want to?"

"It is indeed a good sword!"

Lin Jiangnian paused, then shook his head: "However, I never take away from others' favor."

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, "The name of this sword is 'Silver Moon'. It is one of the two swords that the number one swordsmith in swordsmanship has devoted his whole life to forging. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon all the year round. It is a rare magical weapon in the world." , indestructible, cutting iron like mud... In the past, many people in the world fought for it, and I don’t know how many bloody incidents were caused.”

After hearing the eldest princess's introduction, Lin Jiangnian began to regret it... Why were you so anxious to show off just now? !

Such a magical weapon is rare.

As if she knew what Lin Jiangnian was thinking, the eldest princess glanced at him again and said calmly: "The other one is called 'Qiu Shui'."

"Qiu Shui?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled, and then he realized that this "Autumn Water" could not refer to his Autumn Water Sword, right?

He knew that the Qiu Shui Sword was a rare sword in the world, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful?

Together with the 'Silver Moon Sword' in the hands of the eldest princess, are they both from the sword?

As one of the most elite swordsmanship forces in the world, it is not surprising that Kendo can forge such a magical weapon.

But what made Lin Jiangnian curious was that this 'Autumn Water Sword' was given to him by Senior Li in Ruyi Building. In addition, Senior Li also taught Lin Jiangnian the supreme secret of swordsmanship - the 'Nine Techniques of the Sword' in Ruyi Tower!

Why does that senior Li know the supreme secret of swordsmanship?

Even the last form of the lost 'Nine Techniques of Swordsmanship' was passed down to Lin Jiangnian.

Who is he?

What is its connection with kendo?

Although he was confused, Lin Jiangnian didn't mention it.

Although the nine sword skills have not yet been put into use, Lin Jiangnian has not neglected them. With diligent study and hard training, he is now able to show some strength.

As Lin Jiangnian's strength increases day by day, the supreme secret of swordsmanship seems to be getting closer and closer to being broken.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the eldest princess in front of him. She was rumored to be the best swordsman in the world, and her swordsmanship was the best in the world.

Although this 'Nine Techniques of Swords' only has nine styles, there are endless variations among these nine styles, and there are countless ways to deduce them. If you can understand it thoroughly, you can become a rare master in the world with little effort.

I just don’t know which of these ‘Nine Arts of Sword’ has she learned?

"It turns out that the 'Autumn Water Sword' and the eldest princess's 'Silver Moon Sword' are actually a pair. In this case, they are destined."

Lin Jiangnian paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since the 'Silver Moon Sword' is in the hands of the eldest princess, naturally this prince will not fight for love..."

Since Qiushui Sword can be compared with Silver Moon Sword, Lin Jiangnian is naturally not very interested.

He looked at the eldest princess, paused, and then said: "Eldest Princess, do you still remember the medicines that the eldest princess ordered Jinxiu to feed to my prince when he was seriously injured and rescued?"

The eldest princess raised her head slightly, as if anticipating what he was going to say.

"I have to say that those medicines are really miraculous. They can actually help my prince improve his internal strength in a short period of time, and his internal strength will greatly increase..."

"I wonder, does the eldest princess still have her?"

"There's some left."

The eldest princess spoke slowly, but quickly shook her head: "However, it is of no use to you."

"Um?"

"Those medicines that temper the body and improve internal strength are only useful for warriors below the fifth level."

"For you, it has little effect."

Now that Lin Jiangnian's internal strength has reached the fifth level, these medicines naturally don't have much effect.

If you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

If drugs could be used to improve internal strength without thinking and create masters in batches, then there would probably already be countless martial arts masters in major families.

Although Lin Jiangnian was a little disappointed with this result, he was not disappointed either.

Since there was no shortcut to his internal strength, he set his sights on the eldest princess in front of him again.

"I heard that the eldest princess's martial arts talent is astonishing. Her martial arts has already reached its peak at a young age, and there are few rivals in the world. I wonder... could the eldest princess give me some advice on some moves?"

Lin Jiangnian mentioned it again.

With such expert resources right in front of you, it would be a waste if you don't use them.

Anyone who can learn one and a half moves or martial arts experience from a master of this level will benefit immensely.

The eldest princess shook her head: "I can't give you any advice."

"Why?"

"Can't teach?"

"Why can't it be taught?"

The eldest princess was silent for a while before she said, "I don't know how to teach."

She has never taught anyone and doesn’t know how to teach!

To her, martial arts didn't seem to require much teaching at all.

"You can't...teach?!"

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously questioned, saying that a master of her level was talking nonsense when she said she didn't know how to teach.

But soon, he realized something.

"Why don't you teach?"

"have no idea."

"Then how do you usually improve your strength?"

"Practice."

"anything else?"

"Meditate and practice internal strength."

"Have you ever encountered any bottlenecks or anything you don't understand?"

The eldest princess looked at him strangely: "Martial arts training is so simple, how can there be a bottleneck?"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

He finally understood!

A martial arts genius like the eldest princess probably doesn't know how to teach.

For them, talent determines everything. Those doubts that others need to ponder hard and rack their brains for months or even years to solve, seem to have no difficulty in her eyes. It was like it was a matter of course, it should have been passed down so lightly...

This is the horror of martial arts talent!

This also means that although martial arts like her are extremely profound, they may not necessarily be able to teach others. After all, to her, some things don't seem to need to be taught, they come naturally.

If you ask her, she will look confused: "Is this how you do it? I don't know why, but you do it anyway!"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a long time.

He thinks that his talent in martial arts is already very good. After practicing martial arts for half a year, he is now among the best in the world. Such talent and strength are rare in the world.

But now in front of the eldest princess, she looks a little pitiful.

Not enough to see.

"Can I ask a question?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at the woman in front of him who was dressed in white and looked as cold and aloof as a fairy from the Nine Heavens. He couldn't help but ask, "What strength do you have now?"

"Second-grade Tianxuan? Or first-grade grandmaster?"

After hearing this question, the eldest princess seemed to think for a moment. Then he shook his head gently.

"I don't know either."

"have no idea?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned: "You don't know your current strength?"

"Um."

Lin Jiangnian stared at her for a long time to make sure she was not lying.

I was even more confused.

How come you don't know your own strength?

It is rumored that she is already a master of the second-level Tianxuan realm. She is either a second-level Tianxuan realm or a first-level master!

Why is it still unclear?

However, Lin Jiangnian did not continue to ask.

"If this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either, what other benefits can you give me?"

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and said helplessly.

What benefit can he get from this eldest princess?

It was just her unfathomable martial arts that made Lin Jiangnian both fearful and envious. If he could use her to improve his strength, it would be a good deal.

But now the plan has come to nothing. The cold Princess Princess in front of her has no attraction for Lin Jiangnian. In fact, it is not as attractive as Jinxiu's attraction to him.

"Why don't you just give the Jinxiu next to you to my son as a maid?"

Lin Jiangnian said casually.

Compared to the eldest princess, Jinxiu seems to be more pleasing to the eye and more comfortable.

Lin Jiangnian just said casually that Jinxiu was the eldest princess's maid after all, how could she give her away so easily?

However, the eldest princess hesitated and thought seriously for a while.

"It's not impossible."

She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian, and said calmly: "If Jinxiu is willing, I can let her follow you."

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

"Really?"
