Chapter 692: Chapter 212 Pursuit_3
Why is that?
Jiang Li’s heart slowly began to feel uneasy. The situation at the front was unclear, and she did not know what the final outco would be. It seed that if one was not a soldier, the only choice was to sit in the house and anxiously wait for a conclusion.
Ming Yue walked in from outside, looked at Jiang Li, and hesitated before saying, “Miss… the Crown Prince has arrived.”
Yin Zhili? Why has he co?
Jiang Li couldn’t help but furrow her brows. She usually t people with a smile, but every ti she saw Yin Zhili, she would feel so resistance, probably because she knew what the Jiang Family and the Yin Household were planning, and she didn’t want to comply, which was why she felt this way.
When she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Yin Zhili following behind the maid.
This ti, even Yin Zhiqing was not present.
Jiang Li saluted him: “Young Master Yin.”
“Miss Jiang needn’t be so courteous with .” Yin Zhili was still dressed in white, looking gentle as he said, “I’ve already seen Madam Jiang the Elder just now. Today, I am here by my father’s wishes to speak a few words with Pri Minister Jiang. After speaking, I also took the opportunity to bring sothing for Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Li looked at him in surprise. It was sowhat improper for n and won who were not familiar to exchange gifts privately.
Yin Zhili, as if understanding that his words were sowhat abrupt, smiled sheepishly and said, “Actually, it is Zhiqing who sends this to you. She knew that I would be visiting the Jiang Residence today, so she asked to deliver it. I ant to give it to Madam Jiang the Elder, but she insisted that I give it to you personally.”
Madam Jiang the Elder still hadn’t given up on the idea of her being with Yin Zhili, Jiang Li thought to herself. Then she saw Yin Zhili take out a small box and said, “I have looked at it and feel it is very suitable for Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Li opened the box to look, and she was instantly stunned. Inside the box was a folding fan. She pulled out the fan to examine it. The fan was pure white, made of an unknown fabric that glowed slightly, with a pear blossom embroidered on it which was quite unique and the embroidery was also very delicate. The colors were pale and elegant, yet the handle of the fan was made of jade, cool to the touch. There were many who made fans, but very few made them as precious and pleasing as this. A normal girl receiving such a fan would naturally be delighted.
However, Jiang Li did not feel overly happy. The fan indeed looked nice, but compared to Jih Heng’s gold-threaded peony folding fan, it was still inferior. Jiang Li found it strange; she usually did not like overly bright and rich colors, but after spending ti with Jih Heng, she had picked up his habits and found this snow-white and adorable color to be too bland.
Yin Zhili did not notice Jiang Li’s thoughts and still smiled saying, “Sumr is approaching, and I think this fan will be useful to Miss Jiang.”
“Thank you, Princess of Pingyang County, for your kindness, and thank you, Young Master Yin, for especially bringing the fan to ,” Jiang Li said with a smile.
Yin Zhili said, “I’m glad Miss Jiang likes it.”
“I like it very much, thank you. I will treasure it,” Jiang Li replied, placing the fan back in the box, closing it, and handing it to Bai Xue.
Her saying “she would treasure it” rather than using it made Yin Zhili pause for a mont before he warmly said, “You’re welco. These days, it’s not very peaceful in Yanjing City. Miss Jiang should be careful. I’ve heard that Prince Cheng had previously taken Miss Jiang to Huangzhou. To prevent history from repeating itself, it’s better to be cautious.”
Jiang Li smiled and replied, “I am aware. These days, my father has not been letting leave the Jiang Residence. Speaking of which, isn’t General Yin currently confronting Prince Cheng? Young Master Yin, do you not need to go?”
Yin Zhili gave a bitter smile: “I wanted to accompany my father, but he asked to stay in Yanjing, saying that if anything were to happen here, I should be able to handle it.”
Jiang Li: “It seems Young Master Yin has also learned the art of troop training and exercises?”
“Being from a military family, one must learn a bit, not just , but Zhiqing as well.”
Jiang Li laughed: “That is truly admirable.”
Yin Zhili said, “I actually think Miss Jiang has the air of a military strategist. Even without martial arts, unard, you could still decide the outco of a battle from miles away.”
“Are you referring to ? When have I ever done such things?”
Yin Zhili laughed and said, “The affairs of Tongxiang have already reached our ears in Yunzhong. Zhiqing also told before, she really wants to et you. After seeing you last ti, she said you’re not like what she imagined. You appear very calm and gentle, not like a woman capable of making determined and ruthless decisions.”
“As for being determined and ruthless, I’d rather not show off in front of Young Master Yin. Why would you tease ?”
Her tone was neither hurried nor slow. Even when Yin Zhili joked with her, Jiang Li did not show any shyness but responded with a straightforward and bold deanor, which was very comfortable to see.
