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

At the Ninth Princess's Mansion, after dinner, Jiang Lingyue and Liu Xiuhan sat in the side hall drinking tea.

Thinking about what happened in the academy during the day, in order to improve her strength, her reason told her that she should start the road to the peak as soon as possible.

She looked at the handsome man sitting beside her and couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Liu, are you used to being in the mansion today?"

"Everything is fine." Liu Xiuhan lowered his eyes and looked at her, "But, I don't like Her Royal Highness the Princess calling me Young Master Liu."

"Oh? Then how do you want me to call you?" she asked playfully.

"The name of Flower Appreciation Banquet is good." Liu Xiuhan smiled mischievously.

"Xiu Han~" Jiang Lingyue coughed lightly, her face slightly red, "Then... I will call you this from now on."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Yue'er." Liu Xiu Han called softly.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes and met his deep eyes.

Liu Xiuhan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Can I call you Yue'er?"

Jiang Lingyue's heart moved, and her face became even redder. "Okay." The atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

She lowered her head shyly, the teacup in her hand trembling slightly. For someone like her who had no practical experience, the opponent's face was too lethal.

Liu Xiuhan looked at her quietly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "Why don't you look at me, Princess? Do you think Xiuhan is not good-looking?"

Jiang Lingyue raised her head abruptly when she heard this, "How could it be!"

Her eyes were a little flustered, "You...are very beautiful."

Liu Xiuhan smiled, bent over and moved closer, his hot breath spraying in her ears, "As long as Yue'er likes it."

Jiang Lingyue's heartbeat quickened instantly. Looking at his face so close to her and feeling his breath, she felt a little at a loss.

"Your Highness..." Liu Xiuhan's voice, with a hint of temptation, interrupted her thoughts.

She subconsciously stepped back a little, but didn't expect Liu Xiu Han to hold her back.

"Yue'er, don't hide from me." There was a hint of doting in Liu Xiuhan's eyes.

Jiang Lingyue's heart was pounding. She tried to calm herself down, "I...I'm not hiding from you."

Liu Xiuhan smiled lightly, "Really?"

Then, in her surprised eyes, he lowered his head and covered her lips. Feeling the softness on his lips, her mind went blank, as if fireworks were blooming in her mind.

Jiang Lingyue didn't come back to her senses until she heard the man's rapid breathing. She gently pushed him away, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to look at him again.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should rest."

Without waiting for Liu Xiu Han's response, he fled out of the side hall.

Jiang Lingyue fled back to her room and leaned against the door, her heart still beating wildly. She raised her hand and gently stroked her lips, which seemed to still have the warmth of Liu Xiuhan.

"What's wrong with me..." she muttered, her cheeks burning.

Thinking of the scene just now in the side hall, her heart became confused again.

Well, she definitely didn't run away because she was a coward. She just decided to wait until the wedding day to capture him because she was concerned about his reputation.

When her heart was pounding, Jiang Lingyue suddenly received a reminder from the system that Liu Xiu Han's favorability had increased by 10. She was stunned for a while.

What a docile and well-behaved little white rabbit, it's all fake. A kiss can add so much favorability to you, Liu Xiuhan, you are just a lustful big bad wolf.

On the other side, Liu Xiuhan stood in place, looking at the direction where Jiang Lingyue left, his pair of purple eyes dark and unclear.

He savored the kiss just now, feeling a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before.

"Yue'er..." he murmured softly, with a hint of reluctance in his tenderness.

It was late at night, and the two of them were tossing and turning, each with their own thoughts.

The next morning, Jiang Lingyue finished washing up and walked out of the room. The guard Gu Yuan, who was standing guard in the corridor, suddenly spoke and called her: "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, please stay."

Jiang Lingyue looked over when she heard the voice, walked up to him and asked, "Gu Yuan, what's the matter?"

Seeing her approaching, Gu Yuan awkwardly took out an exquisite sachet from his arms and handed it to her with both hands: "Your Highness, this is the blessing of peace that my sister and I prayed for at Lingyin Temple a few days ago."

He spoke sincerely, "Specially presented to His Majesty the Ninth Prince."

Seeing his nervous look, Jiang Lingyue felt a warm current in her heart. This was the first time she received a gift from someone else since she came to this world. This brother and sister were really kind people who knew how to repay kindness.

She reached out to take the sachet and said with a smile, "Thank you, you are so thoughtful."

"This is just a small gift, I hope your Highness the Princess doesn't mind it." Seeing her accept the gift, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the gift is small, the sentiment is great. I like it very much." She carefully examined the sachet. Its style was quite rare in the market, so she asked curiously, "Who made this sachet?"

Hearing the question, a suspicious blush appeared on Gu Yuan's handsome face: "We made it ourselves."

"You guys?" Jiang Lingyue became interested. "Is it you, or Gu Xue?"

Seeing her asking, Gu Yuan's ears turned red and he replied softly, "Yes, it's my subordinate."

After hearing the answer, Jiang Lingyue's little head was greatly shocked.

Although she knew that many men in Tianfeng Country would learn tailoring and embroidery, she really couldn't associate Gu Yuan, a handsome man who looked like a big wolf dog, with embroidery. When she thought of that scene, she wanted to laugh. What should she do?

Looking down, he saw that her face was red, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't. Gu Yuan was puzzled. "Ninth Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"Ahem, I'm fine, haha." Jiang Lingyue patted his shoulder, "I just like this gift so much, thank you!"

Seeing that she really liked the gift he gave her, Gu Yuan felt inexplicably happy.

Jiang Lingyue, who was trying to hold back her laughter, received a notification from the system that Gu Yuan's favorability had increased by 5. At this moment, her favorability was the same as that of the butler and the personal maid, all at 50.

She looked up in surprise, looking at Gu Yuan's shy face. Giving gifts to others also increases their favorability. What kind of angel guard is this? Is his gratitude to her so deep?

At this moment, Liu Xiuhan walked into the courtyard and saw the two people standing in the corridor. His eyes fell on the sachet in Jiang Lingyue's hand, and his eyes darkened.

He walked forward quickly, pulled Jiang Lingyue to his side, and hugged her waist affectionately, "Yue'er, what are you looking at?"

Seeing his intimate behavior and hearing him addressing the Ninth Princess, Gu Yuan felt a little upset.

Jiang Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm looking at the gift that Gu Yuan and Gu Xue gave me." She raised the sachet and waved it in front of Liu Xiuhan.

Liu Xiuhan glanced at the sachet, then looked at Gu Yuan, frowning slightly, "Your Highness likes it very much?"

"Yes." Jiang Lingyue chuckled, "This was made by Gu Yuan himself."

Liu Xiuhan's expression became even uglier. He held Jiang Lingyue's hand tightly and said, "Oh? Guard Gu is really thoughtful!"

"Mr. Liu, you are too kind. Your Highness the Princess has helped me so much, and this is what I should do." Gu Yuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yue'er, it's time for breakfast." Liu Xiuhan looked at Gu Yuan deeply, then took Jiang Lingyue's hand, turned and left.

Gu Yuan looked at the direction they left, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

Jiang Lingyue looked at Liu Xiuhan who had been silent all the way. He seemed angry. She looked away thoughtfully and looked at the sachet in her hand. Was it because she accepted Gu Yuan's gift?

"Does a sachet make you so happy?" There was a hint of jealousy in Liu Xiuhan's voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue walked up to him and looked into his eyes seriously.

"Xiu Han, you misunderstood. I like this sachet not because of who gave it to me, but because it is a sincere gift. Moreover, my feelings for you will not change because of a sachet."

Liu Xiu Han looked at her, listened to her explanation, and his mood gradually calmed down.

"I'm sorry, I'm too sensitive." He reached out, pulled Jiang Lingyue into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
