Chapter 328: 328: My Sister Has a Shy Personality

“Oh, it’s like this. Yesterday, a mishap occurred during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the East Palace, which I’m afraid might have frightened the Princess Consort of Yu. So…”

“Oh, is Your Highness here to apologize to Seventh Sister?” Jiang Yi rubbed his hands together and laughed, “That’s really unnecessary. How could someone of your status lower yourself to apologize to a woman?”

Li Jixian laughed, “It doesn’t work that way. I heard that the Princess Consort of Yu has returned to her parents’ home. Could you please ask her to come out for a meeting?”

“That might not be very convenient.”

“Why is that?”

“My sister caught a chill yesterday from the wind and is a bit unwell. Besides, she is shy and not used to meeting men outside the family.”

Li Jixian: “Hehe, Master Jiang, you don’t seem to know your sister very well.”

That woman, shy?

If she was shy, what would you call the other women?

Recalling the ferocious look on her face when she stomped on his face, Li Jixian gritted his teeth in hatred.

Jiang Yi laughed, “I’ll accept your apology on my sister’s behalf, Your Highness. As for the meeting, let’s forget about it, alright?”

“Master Jiang, are you going to make me come here for nothing?”

This sentence was full of threatening intent.

But Jiang Yi wasn’t the least bit affected, his smile remained gentle and warm like a spring breeze in March, “If Your Highness insists on seeing her, I, of course, won’t block your way. However… my sister can’t come out, so you’ll have to go to the backyard yourself.”

Li Jixian sneered.

Did he think he wouldn’t dare to go?

Then he would go.

Just thinking about the fact that he could personally enter Jiang Ning’s boudoir, Li Jixian couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

He strode forward into the house.

“Hold on.” Jiang Yi called him back, “Does Your Highness know where our Seventh Sister lives?”

“No.”

“I’ll have someone show you the way.” With that, he nodded to an old woman nearby, who immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

After taking just a few steps, Jiang Yi called out again: “Wait.”

Unable to restrain his impatience, Li Jixian turned back and said: “Master Jiang, what do you intend to do with these repeated hindrances?”

“Your Highness has misunderstood. I just wanted to say that only you should go in. These servants of yours should not go with you.” Jiang Yi laughed, “The inner courtyard is full of women, and your men are all rough. I’m afraid it’s not quite appropriate.”

After thinking for a moment, Li Jixian laughed, “What Master Jiang says is reasonable. You guys wait here.”

“Your Highness, it’s not safe.” One of his followers tried to dissuade him, “If it were someone else, it would be fine for them to wait here, but at least let me follow you!”

The man’s martial arts skills were excellent.

Li Jixian looked at Jiang Yi, “I’ll only bring one attendant inside. It shouldn’t be enough to embarrass your household’s women.”

“Um…” Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, “Alright, but this gentleman should behave himself and not move about freely. If he offends the ladies and maids in our house, that wouldn’t be good.”

“Master Jiang, rest assured, I am a man of propriety.” The attendant disdainfully replied before following Li Jixian towards the backyard.

Due to Lin Zizi’s love for flowers, most of the open spaces within the Prime Minister’s Mansion were planted with various flowers. Although it was autumn, the flowers were still in full bloom, creating a beautiful sight.

To reach Jiang Ning’s courtyard from the front yard, they had to pass through a small flower garden.”

From a distance, they could hear several crisp laughs coming from the garden.”

As they approached closer, they could see fluttering skirts amidst the flowers, as several young girls playfully frolicked.”

Was Jiang Ning among them?

Li Jixian hastened his steps, wanting to get a clearer look.”

But the flowers and trees were too lush, making it hard to see them clearly.”

So Li Jixian slowed down and continued walking onwards leisurely..
