Chapter 284 Desire to Conquer

Yan Li smiled half-heartedly: "Second Young Master Kang is so smart. If I were your brother, I wouldn't be too worried."

"The princess is not him." Kang Ziyan slowly shook his head, "His heart and magnanimity cannot be compared with the princess."

Yan Li was noncommittal.

"There is a white jade screen in the front hall, which my mother asked me to bring to the princess as a meeting gift." Kang Zi spoke in a calm and gentle tone, "This screen is very valuable. The princess can take it back to the imperial city. It will be particularly noble and elegant when placed in the bedroom. "

Yan Li said calmly: "It's rare that your mother is willing to give such a valuable thing."

"The screen was once a birthday gift from the Rong family to my father. It has been kept in the warehouse without being used." Kang Ziyan paused slightly, "In fact, this screen was originally gifted to the Rong family by the queen."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "Who are the Rong family?"

"The Rong family is a family of military generals in the imperial city, and one of their sons is the consort of the eldest princess." Kang Zi said, "The Rong family and the Xuan family are both families of military generals in the Jin Dynasty. The two families are almost equally famous, but the queen prefers General Xuan." ŴŴŴ.

So, does the friendship between the Rong family and the Kang family mean that they secretly support the second prince Yan Chen?

Yan Li seemed to understand something and nodded slowly: "Thank you, Second Young Master, for telling me this. I will figure it out carefully."

Kang Ziyan nodded and resigned.

Yan Li watched him leave, leaning against the railing in silence.

…

As soon as he returned home, Kang Ziyan was called to his eldest brother's yard by his mother.

The Lingbo courtyard where Kang Zixu, the eldest son of the Kang family, lives is the best courtyard in the entire Kang family. It occupies a spacious area, is surrounded by green willows, and has an extremely quiet environment.

Passing through the corridor, the main room of Huyueju is the bedroom of Kang Zixu, the eldest son. There are study rooms and tea rooms on both sides. His wives and concubines live in the backyard, like the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards.

Kang Ziyan was pushed by the bookboy to Huyueju. When he climbed up the steps, two boys who were working outside the house took the initiative to help and saluted and said, "Hello, Second Young Master."

"Yes." Kang Ziyan responded simply, and was quickly pushed into Kang Zixu's room by the book boy, "Mother."

"Zi Yan, you're back!" Mrs. Kang came over quickly and asked while helping him push the wheelchair, "How is it? What did the little princess say?"

Kangzi's words were gentle: "The princess agrees to reconcile."

"Really?" Mrs. Kang was delighted, "Then did she say when to let Zihui go?"

Kang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, as if he only reacted belatedly, with guilt and self-blame on his face: "I'm sorry, mother, I...I forgot..."

Mrs. Kang said hurriedly: "It's okay, as long as she calms down, everything else will be easy to talk about."

The injured Kang Zixu stood in front of the window, turned his head, and said in a voice as cold as a poisonous snake: "She agrees to reconcile?"

"That's what Her Royal Highness the Princess said." Kang Ziyan was sitting in a wheelchair with a gentle and gentle look on his face, "But the girl is very shy after all, so she can't lose face for the time being."

"Can't you lose face?" Kang Zixu smiled coldly and rubbed his injured arm, "When she asked people to attack me, she didn't mean to be shy at all."

He had lived so long in Yanling, and no one had ever dared to hurt him in the slightest. The princess who came from afar was quite courageous.

Kang Ziyan remained silent.

"The little princess of the royal family is very arrogant." Mrs. Kang just breathed a sigh of relief, but now she couldn't help but sneered, "If it weren't for the sake of the second prince, I would have prevented her from leaving Yanling City."

When Kang Ziyan heard this, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

For the sake of the second prince?

It was obvious that someone had caught the advantage, but now he was riding a tiger and was in a dilemma, so he decided to reconcile with the princess.

Now it's the Kang family who takes the initiative to let go?

"We can't be impulsive." He said slowly, with a calm tone, "When the princess came back from the Mu Kingdom, she was accompanied by elite bodyguards. The elites have the responsibility to protect the princess and also have the privilege of using weapons. And our Kang family Although Yanling is very powerful and has its own private soldiers, these private soldiers are not legal in principle and cannot be used at will. "

In fact, even if it is legal, they cannot mobilize troops without authorization, otherwise they will be suspected of being treasonous.

This is why Kang Yueqing did not dare to conflict with the princess head-on.

No matter how many dead soldiers or private soldiers they cultivated in private, it was tacitly understood. Even if the court knew what they were doing, they would mostly turn a blind eye.

But it was not a tacit thing to mobilize troops to deal with the princess openly.

Mrs. Kang gritted her teeth: "If it weren't for this, why would we be so angry with her?"

"A little princess really dares to be arrogant in front of the Kang family?" Kang Zixu covered his aching chest, his voice full of malicious ridicule, "One day she will kneel at my feet, I will definitely let this Princess, please understand what it means to be a man.”

Kang Ziyan said nothing, his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Don't be anxious for the time being." Mrs. Kang frowned and looked at her eldest son warningly, "If the second prince is appointed as the crown prince, a mere princess will not be a problem. When the time comes when the Kang family comes forward to propose marriage, they are afraid that the second prince will refute you. Isn’t it good for you?”

Kang Ziyan couldn't help but sigh softly.

The Kang family has been prosperous for more than ten years, but I don't know whether it was God's blind blessing or the queen's deliberate connivance.

But now it seems that the Kang family has run out of energy.

"When the second prince takes the throne, the princess should be seventeen or eighteen." Kang Zixu frowned slightly, obviously unable to wait that long, "What if the candidate for the crown prince cannot be decided within three or two years..."

The most tender age for a woman is thirteen or fourteen, and no more than fifteen at most.

If she is over seventeen or eighteen, what's the point of marrying her?

Thinking of the girl he met yesterday, with her delicate and noble eyebrows and eyes, her stunning face, she is at the age of budding, and the right amount of indifference and arrogance on her face.

Kang Zixu couldn't help but feel sinister desire in his heart, and couldn't wait to take her into the backyard and tame her.

Little princess of the royal family.

Just these five words can make him want to conquer.

Over the years, he has taken in many women, ladies from wealthy families, girls from ordinary families, daughters of merchants, and noble ladies from aristocratic families.

But he has never had a princess.

Yan Li is the daughter of the queen. As for whether she is the daughter of the current emperor... Although they all say that she is, no one can guarantee how true it is.

But whether she is or not, she should not have been treated like a princess during those years in Mu State.

Besides, what if she is really a princess?

The queen has no son. No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, she and her daughter will rely on the prince.

The Kang family is the second prince's strongest backing, and there is also the Rong family in the court.

What is a princess in the struggle for the throne?
