Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 30
[Chapter 30 Shameless]
After coming out of Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu finally let go of his worries.
He could see that the Imperial Concubine really wanted to keep him by her side. Although the harem was indeed very pleasing to the eyes, he couldn’t give up being a man just to see beauties.
He was still looking forward to canceling the engagement and then galloping on horseback.
The Imperial Concubine was high and mighty. She really felt that letting Lin Xiu enter the palace and giving him power was a favor to him. Rejecting her was a disrespect. Fortunately, Lin Xiu brought up the engagement with the Zhao family in time and said that he still had a fiancée. The Imperial
Concubine gave up the idea with some regret. This engagement that he was extremely resistant to in his heart finally had some use.
Next, he still visited one palace after another. In fact, Lin Xiu’s Yuanli in his body had more than doubled, but he still used a Yuanjing every five palaces. He didn’t want to miss the free stuff. It would not be so easy to get Yuanjing later.
When walking past Ruidong Palace, a little maid ran out and asked, “Is it our turn? Is it our turn?”
Li Zongguan asked, “Does Ruidong Palace need ice today?”
The last time Lin Xiu came, Princess Minghe did not let them in, so this time Li Zongguan asked one more question.
The little maid nodded earnestly and said, “Yes, yes, just come once every two times.”
Lin Xiu could see that the ice in Ruidong Palace should be for this little maid. Because of her ability, Princess Minghe must like heat and hate cold, which is exactly the opposite of Lin Xiu. The hotter the weather, the more comfortable she is. After entering Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu did
not see Princess Minghe, which made him feel relieved. The two of them had different abilities, and her strength was far better than his. Being in the same space with her, Lin Xiu would feel full of oppression.
Squatting by the well and making ice with peace of mind, at a certain moment, Lin Xiu suddenly felt a chill, and a kind of power in his body seemed to be pulled by something and began to run rapidly.
Lin Xiu turned around and saw a girl in red standing in the yard.
It was Princess Minghe.
The power of ice in Lin Xiu’s body began to get out of control. A villain in his mind told him: “Fight, fight with her!”
When he noticed that Princess Minghe also clenched his fists, knowing that she had the same feeling as him, Lin Xiu was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, and the villain in his mind was strangled to death in an instant.
He would not do such an irrational thing because of impulse.
At the same time, Princess Minghe also stretched out her fists. She glanced at Lin Xiu lightly and asked, “What’s your name?”
Lin Xiu answered honestly, “Lin Xiu.”
“Lin Xiu?”
Princess Minghe was obviously familiar with this name. She raised her eyebrows and asked uncertainly, “Lin Xiu, the son of Ping’an Earl, who is engaged to that woman?” The
most powerful nobles in Daxia are the third-class earls. In addition to his father, there are more than 30 third-class earls in the royal capital. Even the emperor can’t remember them all, let alone the princess who has lived in the harem for a long time, who can remember the name of the son of a third-class earl so clearly.
Lin Xiu was not surprised by this.
Because of the “woman” she mentioned, the Ping’an Marquis’s Mansion was well-known in the capital. Everyone knew that there was a good-for-nothing son of the Ping’an Marquis’s family who had climbed up the social ladder. They might not know Lin Xiu, but they had all heard of his name.
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Princess, it’s me.”
Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu curiously and asked, “You don’t have…”
Lin Xiu explained, “My ability has just awakened not long ago.”
After knowing Lin Xiu’s name, Princess Minghe was obviously more curious about Lin Xiu. She looked Lin Xiu up and down, then shook her head and said, “She looks like a decent person, but her talent is too poor. She is still not worthy of that woman.”
Lin Xiu noticed that Princess Minghe had always called his fiancée “that woman.”
Just like most men in the capital hated Lin Xiu, most women in the capital, especially young women, also hated the Zhao family’s proud daughter.
The reason why men hate Lin Xiu is that Zhao Lingjun is too outstanding. She is beautiful and talented. She is the dream goddess of many young men, but their goddess is someone else’s fiancée. Naturally, they are enemies who steal his wife.
Women hate Zhao Lingjun because she is too beautiful and talented. No matter what kind of lady or princess of the royal family, they are all eclipsed in front of her.
Women’s desire to compare is very serious. Which woman is willing to admit that she is not as good as others? Princess Minghe is obviously one of them.
Seeing that his expression is calm and not annoyed at all, Princess Minghe was surprised and said, “Aren’t you angry?”
Lin Xiu looked up at her and said, “The Zhao family’s legitimate daughter is unparalleled in beauty and talent. No woman in the royal capital can compare with her. Except for this face, I really have nothing to match her. The princess is telling the truth. Why should I be angry?”
Lin Xiu was not angry, but Princess Minghe was a little angry.
This bastard, it is enough to praise that woman, but he has to step on others.
What does it mean that there is no woman in the capital who can compare to her? Doesn’t that include her? Although this is the truth, she really doesn’t like to hear it.
Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu with hatred and gritted her teeth and said, “You are self-aware. Apart from your appearance, you are not worthy of her in terms of status, talent, and strength.”
Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Princess.”
Princess Minghe was slightly stunned, and then she realized what Lin Xiu meant.
Then she was speechless. Wasn’t this the point she just said? Her point was that he was not worthy of that woman, not that he was good-looking…
How could there be such a shameless person in the world!
Lin Xiu knew that Princess Minghe was angry, because her originally flat chest was slightly up and down, so he didn’t say anything else. If he completely angered her, he would be the one who would suffer.
He didn’t care about some things, but it didn’t mean that others could emphasize it again and again, which was more or less insulting.
In fact, Lin Xiu should have endured it. After all, the other party was of noble status and the two had a huge gap in strength. It was not wise to anger her.
But I don’t know if it was because of the power in her body. As long as she stood in front of Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu couldn’t help but want to confront her, and some words were almost said instinctively.
Princess Minghe actually realized this. She had no grudges with this person, but as long as she stood in front of him, she couldn’t help but speak harshly.
In the Yishu Academy, she often met with Zhao Lingyin. Because of their status and strength, although they disliked each other, neither of them could do anything to the other, so there was no intersection.
Now that she also met a person with ice Yishu, and his strength was far lower than hers, Princess Minghe couldn’t help but want to bully him.
But this Lin Xiu, it seems that she doesn’t care about anything. She can’t get the upper hand in words, and she can’t really do anything to him. After Princess Minghe calmed down, she could only leave with a belly full of anger.
With a steady stream of Yuanjing for practice, Lin Xiu quickly forgot the episode in Ruidong Palace. After finishing a day’s work, he came to the gate of the palace. Under the night, a carriage was parked there.
In addition to Sun Dali, Lingyin was also here.
She told Lin Xiu that Sun Dali’s strength was not enough, so she would wait for him here every night and send him back.
The carriage was moving slowly, Sun Dali was driving outside, and Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin were sitting in the carriage.
Thinking of something, Lin Xiu asked her, “Lingyin, are you familiar with Princess Minghe?”
“Princess Minghe?” Zhao Lingyin frowned when she heard it, and then said, “When you are doing things in the palace, stay away from her. Her ability is fire, and she restrains us. She might cause trouble for you.”
Lin Xiu thought to herself that they really knew each other, and maybe they were old rivals. One is ice, the other is fire. I wonder which of them is more powerful.
So he asked directly: “Who is more powerful, you or Princess Minghe?”
Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and asked: “What do you think?”
Lin Xiu said without hesitation: “I think you are more powerful.”
Although Zhao Lingyin was very satisfied with Lin Xiu’s answer, she still said: “I haven’t fought her, but she is not simple. I’m not sure of winning.”
It seems that the two of them are evenly matched. However, one is a destined opponent and the other is a dear sister-in-law. Lin Xiu smiled and said: “Even if the strength is similar, she is far worse than you in other aspects.”
For Zhao Lingyin, Princess Minghe is definitely a strong rival. In the School of Strange Arts, there have always been people who compare the two of them privately. Whether it is appearance, talent, or strength, it is hard to tell who is better.
No one has ever said that Princess Minghe is far inferior to her. Zhao Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, “How is she inferior to me?”
Lin Xiu thought for a moment and said, “Although you both have your own merits in appearance, she is short…”
Zhao Lingyin was slightly stunned. She was a little tall, while Princess Minghe was relatively petite. However, that was only relative. Princess Minghe’s height was definitely above average among women. Unexpectedly, in Lin Xiu’s eyes, this was actually considered short…
However, compared to herself, she was indeed a little shorter…
She glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, “Anything else?”
After a busy day, she was already physically and mentally exhausted. Speaking of this , Lin Xiu was not sleepy at all. With the experience of a senior sea king, he explained to Zhao Lingyin: “Also, you are much whiter than her. Princess Minghe is simply dark and short…”
Zhao Lingyin’s fair skin is partly related to her ability. Princess Minghe’s ability is fire, so her skin is more rosy than that of ordinary people, but it is not dark at all… Dark and
short, I didn’t expect that her image in Lin Xiu’s mind would be like this…
Lin Xiu continued to analyze: “Also, you are about the same age, but she is just ordinary, you are much older than her…”
Zhao Lingyin frowned slightly: “Do I look old?”
Lin Xiu hurriedly explained: “I’m not talking about age…”
“Then what did you say?”
“…”
–
Ruidong Palace, Princess Minghe, who had already lain down, tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep, with the urge to fight with someone in her heart.
She sat up from the bed and murmured: “What’s wrong with this palace…” I
have to catch a plane in the morning, so today’s update will be in the early morning.
