Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

Thinking of his 5 point favorable impression towards her, Jiang Lingyue asked, "Master Liu, have we ever met before?"

Liu Xiuhan said bluntly: "I have never seen it, but I have heard some rumors."

Jiang Lingyue was slightly embarrassed and coughed lightly: "This..." The Ninth Princess does not have a very good reputation.

Seeing her embarrassment, Liu Xiuhan added: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince solved the unjust case and stood up for the people. This is admirable."

So that's it, Jiang Lingyue thought, this must be the source of his favorability.

She responded modestly: "When I see injustice, I help others. This is my duty."

Jiang Lingyue was drunk, and she found the beauty even more charming. She blurted out, "Mr. Liu is so beautiful, it's a pity for you to stay here. Why don't you come back with me and enjoy the wealth and glory?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Liu Xiuhan's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He bowed slightly and said slowly, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. However, I am used to a free and easy life and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to adapt to the constraints of the palace."

Jiang Lingyue smiled and didn't care, "In this princess's mansion, you can be yourself, no need to be formal."

"In that case, Liu will respectfully obey your orders."

Huh? He agreed!

Jiang Lingyue was so shocked that she sobered up. She had mustered up the courage to give it a try, and had already prepared herself for rejection. She thought it would take a lot of trouble, but she didn't expect to get a pleasant surprise.

Chuntao, who was standing nearby, was also shocked, her eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing the two people's reactions, Liu Xiu Han lowered his eyes slightly, and under his straight nose, the corners of his mouth raised slightly with a faint smile.

Jiang Lingyue excitedly took his hand and said, "In that case, let's go now!"

Liu Xiuhan nodded.

Jiang Lingyue immediately asked Chuntao to call the madam and inform her of the outcome.

A cash cow suddenly ran away, and the madam was filled with remorse, but it was of no avail. She could only say congratulations with a forced smile.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant. Along the way, Jiang Lingyue was full of joy, while Liu Xiuhan always maintained a faint smile.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Jiang Lingyue arranged the best room for Liu Xiu Han and ordered people to prepare a sumptuous banquet to welcome him.

At the banquet, Jiang Lingyue kept picking food for him and asking about his preferences. Liu Xiuhan answered one by one with a gentle tone, which made her feel even sweeter.

After dinner, Jiang Lingyue took him to the garden, where they strolled among the flowers and enjoyed the quiet night.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think of this place?" Jiang Lingyue looked at him expectantly.

"Very beautiful." Liu Xiu Han said sincerely.

"I just asked the housekeeper to check the almanac. It is a good day for marriage in half a month. How about we get married then?" It was the first time in his two lifetimes to propose to someone, and Jiang Lingyue was quite nervous.

"Well, I'll follow the princess's arrangements." His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was struggling for a moment.

"Then this is your home from now on. You can come and go as you please." Jiang Lingyue smiled with her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Hearing this, Liu Xiuhan felt a little relieved and looked at her deeply, "Thank you, Princess Nine."

At this time, a breeze blew, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, and Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but be intoxicated by it. She gently approached Liu Xiuhan, feeling his breath.

Jiang Lingyue raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "Mr. Liu, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

He smiled and responded, "Yes, Your Highness."

The two walked quietly, no one spoke, as if they were both enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Suddenly, Jiang Lingyue slipped and fell forward. Liu Xiuhan quickly reached out to hold her, and Jiang Lingyue fell into his arms.

Her face instantly turned red, her heartbeat accelerated, and her ears felt hot. Liu Xiuhan looked down at her, with a hint of affection in his eyes.

Their faces slowly approached each other, and just when their lips were about to touch, Jiang Lingyue suddenly came to her senses and pushed him away.

"Princess...Princess, I..." Liu Xiu Han looked at her somewhat embarrassedly.

Jiang Lingyue took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry. It happened so suddenly that I scared you."

He shook his head. "It's okay, Princess. It's getting late. Go to bed early."

Having said this, he turned and left the garden.

Jiang Lingyue looked at his departing back, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Just now, his favorability towards me increased by 5. Does this mean he has started to like her?

But he was just a man he coaxed back to improve his cultivation, and he didn't even know why he agreed to it, so he couldn't be easily fooled by him.

The frantic heartbeat just now and the nervous and helpless feeling like first love were definitely an illusion.

Liu Xiu Han returned to the house, and thinking about his behavior just now, he felt it was a little unbelievable. In all his long life, this was the first time he had lost his composure like this.

While he was in a daze, he noticed a familiar breath, and his eyes turned cold, "Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a masked man in black jumped down from the beam.

"My lord asked me to come over." The man in black said in a hoarse voice.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xiu Han sat on the chair and looked at him coldly.

"Time is running out." The man in black's voice revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Liu Xiuhan snorted coldly, "I know my limits."

"Remember your mission," the man in black warned.

"Of course." Liu Xiuhan's eyes became sharp, "I will act according to my plan."

"I hope you won't make any mistakes." The man in black turned around and said, "You don't want your brother to not see the sun tomorrow, do you? Also, don't forget the poison in your body."

After saying this, he disappeared into the night.

Liu Xiuhan frowned and clenched his fists. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

……

The next morning, golden sunlight shone through the clouds and hit the window, bringing a touch of warmth to the whole room.

The cheerful singing of birds outside the window makes people feel happy.

Jiang Lingyue woke up slowly, washed and dressed as usual, opened the door, and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Gu Yuan? Why are you outside my room?" She looked up at the handsome young man dressed as a guard and holding an embroidered spring sword, her eyes full of surprise.

Gu Yuan turned around when he heard the voice and was also surprised when he saw her. It had only been a month since they last met, and the Ninth Princess had lost so much weight that he almost didn't recognize her.

"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, my sister's injuries are no longer serious. We will be on duty in the Ninth Princess's Mansion from today." He bowed his head and said, "The housekeeper arranged for me to serve as a guard in the Princess's Courtyard."

Jiang Lingyue understood, and she felt much more at ease with Gu Yuan by her side.

"Thank you for your help." She said with a smile.

Gu Yuan looked at her smile and was stunned for a moment, then said, "This is my duty."

"What arrangements has Gu Xue made?" she asked curiously.

"The housekeeper said that my sister is very talented and should stay with us to learn how to do things."

She nodded to indicate that she understood.

At this time, Liu Xiuhan walked into the courtyard, wanting to invite her to have breakfast together, but he saw her chatting happily with a guard. When he saw the guard's outstanding appearance, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

He walked forward and saluted Jiang Lingyue, "Your Highness."

"Mr. Liu, good morning." She looked at the handsome man walking towards her in the morning light, which was truly pleasing to the eye.

When Gu Yuan saw the person coming, he was shocked. Who is this man who is more beautiful than a woman?

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Jiang Lingyue kindly introduced them to each other. After hearing the introduction, Liu Xiuhan and Gu Yuan were both stunned.

Afterwards, Jiang Lingyue and Liu Xiuhan walked side by side to the dining room to have breakfast together.

Looking at their departing backs, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a little annoyed for some reason.
