After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 20: I'm so scared

Luo Lan glanced at Lin Rusi, her eyes almost overflowing with jealousy.

"Miss Lin is really lucky to have managed to marry a prince. Her ancestors must have been blessed with good fortune."

“Miss Luo is right. If it weren’t for the auspicious smoke rising from my Lin family’s ancestral graves, the Prince would never have looked up to me!”

She wasn't annoyed; in fact, her eyes sparkled.

Luo Lan was furious. "Hmph, being a princess isn't so easy. Don't be so smug."

She clenched her fists, glaring at Lin Rusi with resentment, her heart aching with jealousy.

She is the woman who is married to King Jinglie and is qualified to stand beside him!

Instead of the infamous Lin Rusi!

What she found most unbearable was the prince's extreme tenderness towards her.

She had known Prince Jinglie for so long, but she had never seen him with such a gentle expression.

If it weren't for Lin Rusi, all of this should have been hers!

Luo Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it; if she could, she would tear Lin Rusi to pieces.

Lin Rusi was also modest. She frowned, sighed, and said in a serious tone, "The engagement to the prince was so sudden that I was not prepared at all."

"Your Highness, my daughter wants to learn the palace rules and etiquette before the wedding so as not to embarrass you."

King Jinglie looked at Lin Rusi with great interest.

really.

Just as he had expected, this woman was unique and interesting.

Lin Rusi noticed the gaze that Jinglie Wang was giving her and quickly looked away, feeling somewhat flustered.

Why does it seem like Prince Jinglie is becoming more and more interested in her?

Luo Lan was so angry that her face turned red, and she glared at Lin Rusi with eyes as big as walnuts.

She gripped the handkerchief tightly, and said angrily, "Sharp-tongued! Eloquent!"

Lin Rusi replied with a beaming smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Luo."

Luo Lan completely lost her temper, "Lin Rusi, don't push your luck!"

Enraged, she lost all sense of her surroundings.

Lin Rusi put on an innocent expression, frowned, blinked, and said aggrievedly, "Miss Luo, weren't we having a good chat?"

Why are you suddenly angry?

She feigned fear and shrank back, saying timidly, "Miss Luo looks so scary."

Luo Lan shuddered and gasped, belatedly realizing that she had lost her temper in front of Prince Jinglie.

People around her stared at her with all sorts of strange looks.

As the daughter of a first-rank imperial bodyguard, she was always pampered and adored.

Now, in front of the man she loves, and under the gaze of so many people, she lost her temper...

Luo Lan's face turned pale and then red, wishing she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Luo Lan, who always thought highly of herself, could not tolerate making such a fool of herself.

Looking at Lin Rusi's aggrieved and pitiful expression, Luo Lan felt as if a thorn had pierced her heart.

As a woman herself, she knew all too well Lin Rusi's little schemes.

"Stop pretending! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Enraged, Luo Lan no longer cared about anyone else; all she wanted was to beat Lin Rusi to vent her anger.

As soon as she raised her hand, Lin Rusi, not wanting to miss an opportunity, shouted.

"Your Highness, Miss Luo has suddenly gone berserk and is about to hit me."

"Waaah, I'm so scared."

Lin Rusi's eyes were red and glistening with tears, making her look pitiful.

She kept saying she was scared, but her feet didn't stop moving; she quickly hid behind Prince Jinglie.

Lin Rusi huddled behind Prince Jinglie, clutching his robe tightly, and whispered, "Your Highness will surely protect me, won't you?"
