Chapter 1203: Chapter 1194: Brother Yun's Life-long Event, Must Not Be Taken Lightly_1 Chapter 1203: Chapter 1194: Brother Yun's Life-long Event, Must Not Be Taken Lightly_1 “Your Highness, the princess has returned.”
An attendant informed, bowing and standing behind the curtain.
“Qing'er is back.”
Xuanyuan Li's heart leaped with joy. He pushed aside the annoying officials and hurried out of the reception room.
Lin Jinyun carried Xuanyuan Qing into the posthouse. Following the attendant's lead, they passed through the twisting corridors and arrived at the courtyard where the delegation from Xijin was staying.
Xuanyuan Li just happened to be at the door as Lin Jinyun entered with his sister. His heart leaped with both shock and joy, which he couldn't suppress.
He personally brought his sister back; perhaps he did hold some affection towards her.
If Qing'er could have his sincere care, as an elder brother, he would be at ease.
“Princess.”
Ming Xiang saw the princess, stumbled forward, and burst into tears.
Xuanyuan Li's anger boiled, he pushed her away and scolded with a dark stern look, “Stop crying, it's annoying!”
“Woo…my princess.”
Ming Xiang, frightened, shivered. She dared not wail any longer and only sobbed softly.
“The princess was a little frightened, but thank goodness she wasn't hurt. This prince will send the Security Battalion to guard the posthouse, ensuring the safety of all country delegations here.”
Lin Jinyun approached, put down Xuanyuan Qing and gave a bow. He was about to leave when-
“Yun, please wait.”
Xuanyuan Li saw him about to leave, his heart feeling colder. Without thinking, he handed his sister to Ming Xiang and stepped in front of him.
Lin Jinyun's handsome face went cold, revealing a touch of surprise, “The person has been found. Is there anything else?”
“Yun, forgive me for my presumption. Please come to the reception room to talk.”
Xuanyuan Li sincerely dropped his title, calling himself “bei xia.”
“Alright.”
Lin Jinyun stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.
“Please.”
Xuanyuan Li extended his hand, gesturing for Lin Jinyun to go ahead.
Lin Jinyun nodded, and headed towards the reception room.
Walking shoulder to shoulder, Xuanyuan Li followed him into the study. They dismissed the servants and discussed in private in the reception room.

Little Kingfisher, sitting on the eaves, happily eavesdropped on the conversation.
Lin Qingluo was at the Fluttering Snow Residence, just in time to hear the little pet's telepathic message.
“Xuanyuan Li is really dedicated to his sister.”
Little Kingfisher joked, “Transferring almost half of the prince's manor assets to Xuanyuan Qing, as dowry.”
Lin Qingluo's lips curled into a faint smile, “He still has a conscience. At least, he didn't let power cloud his judgment, listening to his advisors and using a different princess for marriage.”
“If something happens to Xuanyuan Qing, the marriage alliance won't go well. Even if the master's Fourth Brother doesn't mind, it won't be easy to get past the Old Lady.”
Little Kingfisher's thoughts leaped from one to another, “It's best to keep it a secret and not let her know.”
“Sigh.”
Lin Qingluo, heaving a deep sigh, gave a bitter smile, “My grandmother already knows.”

At the Drunken Frost Residence,
All the masters were gathered, the atmosphere oppressively stifling.
“Yun's marriage is a lifelong matter and cannot be rushed.”
Madam Duke of Zhen's face was dark with anger, “The Princess of Xijin fainted, was abducted by evildoers, and only rescued by noon. What happened during that time, she herself doesn't know. She is not suitable to be the granddaughter-in-law of Duke Zhen's mansion.”
“Alas, Heaven is blind.”
Ye Xue'e sighed sadly, “I thought her background and appearance were the best among the three princesses, making her the perfect match for Yun'er, but I didn't expect this to happen.”
“In my opinion, the princesses of Xichu and Nanxun are not bad either”
Third Lady Lin glanced at the Second Aunt Lin, who was sighing, and softly comforted, “When marrying, it's the virtue that matters. It's okay if the appearance is not as good, being well-educated, virtuous, and steady is most important.”
Second Aunt Lin took a deep breath, “To tell the truth, I don't want Yun'er to marry a princess at all.”
