Xiao Zian didn’t notice it, but when he smelled the fragrant scent in Lin Chujiu’s body, his heart had calmed down. However, his eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, but he quickly suppressed it.

“Imperial Aunt, don’t take it to heart, Imperial Uncle is not that kind of person.” Xiao Zian said in a low voice, his voice sounds so gentle like a spring breeze, and it was heartwarming.

No one had ever talked to her in such a gentle way, so Lin Chujiu also slowed down and nodded her head: “Thank you, your highness. I am fine.”

“It’s good if Imperial Aunt understands it by heart.” Xiao Zian smiled. His smile looked neat and warm, just like a warm lotus flower. In a blink of an eye, Lin Chujiu was stunned… …

She has never seen a person smile so beautifully.

“Imperial Aunt, what happened to you?” Xiao Zian had a vague guess, but he pretended not to know.

“I was distracted for a moment, your highness… …” Lin Chujiu hasn’t finished her words, but was interrupted by Xiao Zian: “Imperial Aunt, don’t call me your highness, call me Zian.”

Lin Chujiu’s identity was much higher than Xiao Zian, so calling him by his name was normal. But… …

Although their identity was of different level, their age was similar. If Lin Chujiu will call him directly by his name, it will sound intimate. Lin Chujiu was thinking of a way to refuse when suddenly, Xiao Tianyao came in between them and pushed them separately.

“Wangye.” Lin Chujiu took a stepped back and gave way to Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Zian was caught off guard and almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao didn’t use too much force.

“Imperial Uncle… …” Xiao Zian calmly bowed his head, there was no trace of anger in his face.

“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao nodded his head, indicating that he knew, then he no longer paid attention to him. He walked forward with Lin Chujiu without hesitation.

When the Crown Prince and others, who walked in the front heard voices behind them, they stopped from walking. The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince called Xiao Tianyao uncle, while Ji Fengyu and Lin Wanting called him Xiao Wangye. Lin Wanting’s voice was so small and kept her head low. She didn’t dare to look at Xiao Tianyao.

Before she left home, Lin Xiang repeatedly remind her not to let people learned that she likes Xiao Tianyao. Especially, the crown prince. Otherwise, she will be married off to the Western Prince.

Lin Wanting got scared, so although she was happy to see Xiao Tianyao, she didn’t dare to make an unnecessary move.

After they paid respect, they surrounded Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. The Crown Prince looked around and said innocently: “Imperial Uncle, why this prince don’t see Princess Nannuo Yao?”

“Hmm?” Xiao Tianyao frowned and asked as if he couldn’t understand the crown prince’s meaning.

The Crown Prince pretended to be stupid and said: “Imperial Uncle, isn’t Princess Nannuo Yao was with you?” In front of Xiao Tianyao, the crown prince didn’t dare to embarrass Lin Chujiu, but he also didn’t give her a face.

“Why would benwang be with her?” Xiao Tianyao looked at the Crown Prince with eyes looking an idiot. As if the Crown Prince asked the stupidest question.

The Crown Prince’s face redden and explained: “Imperial Uncle, didn’t you and Princess Nannuo Yao disappear this afternoon? Are you not together?”

“Crown Prince, what are you thinking?” The expression on Xiao Tianyao’s face became heavy, then he ruthless said: “Benwang will accompany personally the Southern Princess? Crown Prince, what have you learned all these years to ask such a stupid question?”

The contempt in Xiao Tianyao’s tone made the Crown Prince wants to drill a hole.

The Crown Prince busily said: “Imperial Uncle, you misunderstood, I’m just… …”

“Just what?” Xiao Tianyao impatiently interrupted the crown prince: “Crown Prince, you are not young anymore, you should spend less thinking about youthful desires. Think more about important business.”

“Imperial Uncle, you misunderstood, I’m not…” The Crown Prince wants to explain, but Xiao Tianyao has no intention of listening. He inhumanely added: “Crown Prince, if you are so worried about the Southern Princess, you go and look for her.”

Xiao Tianyao has shamelessly associated the Crown Prince to Princess Nannuo Yao. The Crown Prince wanted explain, but Xiao Tianyao took a step forward… …
