Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Yan Lin’s Unusual Behavior

"Princess Consort, this servant..."

Chen Yuexin presented the whip with both hands, her expression slightly solemn.

Because she was worried that her actions just now might cause trouble for the Princess Consort.

Baihan merely glanced at her and instantly guessed what she was thinking.

"You need not worry, I will explain the matters on my father’s side. Nanny Autumn was wrong, and what you just did was very good. You must always act this way, for if you are too kind-hearted, you will constantly be bullied, do you understand?"

Baihan had intended to use the tone she employed when commanding troops to counsel Chen Yuexin, lest she continue to exhibit her timorous nature in the future.

But she had just realized that as soon as she started speaking sternly, Chen Yuexin’s eyes reddened.

All she could say helplessly was, "All right, don’t worry, with that token in the Princess Residence, no one can trouble you."

She hoped she could manage until she left the residence.

"Princess, the Prince...the Pavilion Master has arrived," Nan Xing softly reminded from behind.

Baihan quickly turned around, only to find that a certain Prince had been standing at the entrance of the courtyard for some time.

She immediately put on a smile.

"Why did you come without letting me know?"

"You were handling matters, it was not good to disturb," the Prince said in a stern tone.

"Nan Xing, have Ruolan reassign her different tasks," Baihan instructed Nan Xing, and then quickly walked towards Yan Lin.

"So, have you noticed anything?" she asked helplessly.

"You treat that servant girl quite specially."

Yan Lin fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said this.

Listening carefully, one could detect a hint of sourness in his voice.

Could he be jealous?

Baihan frowned, giving him a strange look.

"It’s not particularly special, I just feel she... resembles a little girl I knew before," Baihan murmured softly.

Finally, she added, "Her background is very pitiful, and since I’ve already rescued her, why not help her further?"

"Good, whatever decision you make, I will support you," Yan Lin said gravely.

"By the way, why did I hear from the servants that you went out late last night? What were you doing?"

Baihan looked at Yan Lin with a sharp gaze.

"Ah, this Prince was dealing with matters of the Tang Sect," Yan Lin said, his eyes shifting, his tone unnatural.

"Really? Then why didn’t you bring Ziyi and Tang Yu with you, as I have already asked around, and only you went out alone?" Baihan’s tone grew more serious.

She stared at Yan Lin, clearly telling him not to try to get past her, as she was not so easily fooled.

Yan Lin frowned...

He seemed unsure of how to explain himself.

The atmosphere turned slightly awkward.

By this time, Baihan had already followed him to the entrance of his study.

"I also heard from the people in the residence that when you returned from outside, you were not in a hurry to rest in your own room but came to the study where the oil lamp was lit all through the latter part of the night. So, what were you doing here in the study?" Baihan asked sharply, arms crossed.

Yan Lin: "..."

"If the Prince says he was dealing with matters of the Tang Sect, would you believe that?"

"Do you think I would believe that?" Baihan responded quietly.

"You won’t talk, will you? If you don’t speak up, I myself will enter and investigate."

Baihan said and then pushed the door open.

She really wanted to see, what other secrets a certain Prince might still be hiding from her.

She strode into the room.

Yan Lin tried to stop her but was too late.

After entering, she observed the interior of the room thoroughly.

Then, her inquisitive gaze fell on Yan Lin’s face behind her.

"You’re so nervous, could it be that someone is hidden here?"

Yan Lin: "..."

"What people could I possibly be hiding?" he asked helplessly.

"How would I know? What if it were one of your romantic confidantes?" Chu Baihan teased on purpose.

"How many women do I have, aren’t you quite clear on that?"

Yan Lin continued helplessly.

"Then why all the secrecy?" Chu Baihan frowned.

She started walking toward the table.

Seeing this, Yan Lin’s heart sank slightly, and his complexion changed.

Chu Baihan was actually observing Yan Lin.

So the moment his emotions changed, she noticed it.

It seemed there was a trick up his sleeve involving the table.

"When did you acquire so many books here?" she murmured lightly.

Saying this, she picked up one of the books.

"Princess Consort, are you sure you really want to see it?"

Behind her, Yan Lin’s deep voice came.

"Of course, if I don’t look, how will I know what you are hiding from me."

Chu Baihan arched an eyebrow, she opened the book very calmly.

But when she looked at the book...strictly speaking, at the stuff on those pages, her face turned crimson.

She quickly tossed the book aside as if it were a hot potato.

"Princess Consort, wasn’t it you who wanted to look?"

Yan Lin walked over slowly, then calmly picked up the sketchbook from the ground.

He was so composed, nothing like he had been just moments before when he seemed all flustered and anxious.

Meeting his mocking gaze, Chu Baihan then realized she had been duped.

"You intentionally let me see it just now," she gritted her teeth.

Yan Lin shook his head and sighed, "Princess Consort, if you must say so, that really does wrong me. I was trying to stop you all along, but alas, you insisted on coming in to see for yourself."

Chu Baihan: "..."

"If it weren’t for your constant obstruction, I wouldn’t have been so curious, let alone...."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Baihan looked at Yan Lin with a grievance. "Why would you look at such things in the study? You were up all last night, could it be... that was what you were looking at?"

Hearing Chu Baihan’s words, Yan Lin’s expression turned slightly unnatural.

Last night, he had gone to the Xuan Market himself, intending to find some books on how to pamper his wife and gain some insights.

But who knew, that bookseller at Xuan Market, upon hearing he was looking for books about women, secretly stuffed him with a bunch of those books.

To call them books would be a stretch; they might better be described as erotic palace arts.

Although men of the Imperial family are taught about these things by nannies from their teens,

he had been an exception.

When he was a teenager, he had gone to the battlefield and had been away for many years.

He once thought that women should not be part of his world.

Now, he felt that those images... were quite good.

"Princess Consort, do I need to remind you that we are already married?" Yan Lin said meaningfully to Chu Baihan.

Facing his dangerous gaze, Chu Baihan fiercely furrowed her brows.

What was he planning to do?

"Princess Consort, Xixi once told me that he wanted a brother or a sister."

Yan Lin gazed at her, his voice hoarse and barely recognizable.

"Wait, what are you planning to do? I’m telling you, it’s daytime."

Chu Baihan grew increasingly nervous.

But the Prince had already been steadily approaching her.

Before she could react, she was carried up in his arms.

"Princess Consort, there happens to be a mattress in the study, we can’t disappoint Xixi, can we?"
