The reply from Prince Lian's Mansion came faster than expected. The next morning, someone came to deliver the invitation.
Lin Yixuan looked at the gold-inlaid post and raised the corner of his lips in a good mood. He thought that the truckload of vegetables delivered a few days ago must have played a role, otherwise it would not be so easy for him to visit. You know, for those picky princes and nobles, fresh vegetables in winter are so tempting.
Besides, Prince Lian's Mansion is a royal family, so what's the big deal about having a teahouse? Although the layout is somewhat clever, it is not impossible to imitate. If it were not for the support of the ancient romance, people would definitely not think highly of it. Taking a share is already a face, and they still want to meet him. I don't know where to queue up.
The most important thing is that he is a married man with no identity and no status. He has the Jingyang Marquis Mansion as his mother's home, but why should others give him face? Just in terms of status, the Lianjunwang Mansion is much higher than the Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
Li Yaonan walked over slowly, and seeing his silly look, he tapped his husband on the head: "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Yixuan glared at him with an accusing look on his face, his little face puffed up.
Li Yaonan smiled gently and quickly stroked his tired face: "Take care of yourself and don't get too tired. The next time mother-in-law sees you, she will blame me for not loving you."
Lin Yixuan was depressed and pouted in dissatisfaction. It was always like this. A few casual words from her husband would make her heart feel incredibly soft, full and sweet, as if something was about to overflow. How could she bear to lose her temper
"This is..." Li Yaonan opened the post and admired his husband's ability to get things done. In fact, he was just giving some ideas, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, his husband would be able to accomplish so much: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Lin Yixuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are a candidate for this year's imperial examination, so it is inconvenient for you to interact with them too much. I can handle these things, don't worry."
Li Yaonan held his hand, feeling helpless and self-blaming: "I just don't want you to be too tired."
How could Lin Yixuan not know his dilemma? A happy smile spread across her face. "I'm not tired, really. I'm waiting for you to pass the imperial examination, earn an imperial decree for me, and support me and my son in the future. Now it's most important for you to study."
Li Yaonan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was comforted, right? He felt a little warm in his heart. However, although he blamed himself, he would not feel sorry for himself or belittle himself. He was unfamiliar with the capital and really couldn't help much. But he wouldn't always be like this. One day, he would stand at the top of the world. So he didn't feel sad at all. How could the young husband see that he was inferior
Li Yaonan curled the corners of his lips in a good mood. He still appreciated the comfort from his young husband.
That night, the couple discussed for a while until late at night, and then gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Lin Yixuan packed up and went straight to Prince Lian's Mansion. After handing over the invitation, the guard at the door politely invited him in.
The one who entertained him was Princess Lian, so Lin Yixuan naturally did not dare to be arrogant. He bowed to the Princess first and then slowly took a seat.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and as expected, Princess Lian turned the topic to vegetables, saying frankly that she had a good appetite recently and the prince liked them too.
Lin Yixuan finally got to the point, took out a piece of thin paper from his arms, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the princess likes it. The vegetables are produced on the farm below, and the cultivation method is not difficult." This was the result of his discussion with her husband last night. The farm was in his hands, and he would definitely not get any good results if he dominated it alone. It would be better to give some away to divert other people's attention and get some benefits by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
“This…” Seeing how generous he was, Princess Lian became hesitant. The Marquis of Jingyang’s Mansion was affiliated with the Sixth Prince, and although this man was a married woman, she was still not sure whether she should accept the gift or not.
Before she could refuse, Lin Yixuan continued, "Don't worry, Princess. I just want to see the prince, which is not a big deal. Besides, my teahouse is also run by your family. This small gift is not a sign of respect, so it doesn't matter."
Seeing his sincerity, Princess Lian thought for a moment and stopped being polite. She just said, "I will accept this gift, but after meeting the prince, can you fulfill your request..."
Lin Yixuan quickly said, "Don't worry, Princess, I know what to do and will never embarrass the Prince."
Princess Lian nodded with satisfaction. She was most afraid of people who didn't know their limits. She turned around and told her maid to call the prince. She smiled at Lin Yixuan and said, "You came at a good time today. The prince is on vacation. If it were any other time, you wouldn't be so lucky."
Lin Yixuan flattered her gently and said sincerely, "I have to thank the Princess of the County for her kindness. I just happened to send you an invitation today. I am deeply grateful."
The princess giggled and pointed at him and said, "You are good at talking, kid. Your brother is not as smooth-talking as you."
Lin Yixuan smiled and argued: "My brother is a dull guy, I am telling the truth, the Princess should not wrongly accuse me."
"Look, you blame me for this." Princess Lian laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. She had a very good impression of Lin Yixuan. As the two of them talked, the servants beside them made jokes from time to time, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Not long after, Prince Lian arrived.
Prince Lian is in his thirties this year. He looks dignified and noble. Even at home, he looks meticulous. It is no wonder that the current emperor would take a liking to such a man.
After glancing at Lin Yixuan, Prince Lian ignored him and only looked at Princess Lian: "Madam, are you looking for me?"
Princess Lian pointed at Lin Yixuan and explained, "This is Zhiyuan's younger brother. He wants to see you. The vegetables you ate a few days ago were sent by his family."
Prince Lian frowned and thought for a while, then asked after a while: "Are you Lin Zhiyuan's younger brother?"
Lin Yixuan bowed respectfully and said in a silent manner, "Yes."
"You own a teahouse?"
"yes!"
"You also installed the floor heating?"
"It was done by my husband."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Prince Lian sat in the main seat with a majestic look, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Princess Lian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the teahouse and the floor heating in her home were contributed by this child. She didn't pay much attention to the teahouse before. After all, in such a big prince's mansion, there were many people who wanted to give their share. There were more than a dozen teahouses. How could she have imagined that this child, who had just arrived in the capital for a few days, was the owner of a teahouse. Of course, the person she admired the most was her own prince. He remembered all these trivial things clearly.
In fact, it was not that Prince Lian had a good memory, but that the impression was too deep. Both the floor heating and the teahouse seemed novel to him, so he remembered them in his heart.
Lin Yixuan glanced around, and Princess Lian quickly dismissed the servants.
Lin Yixuan considered for a moment and tried to make his words more concise: "My mother's family is the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion. Now that the illegitimate son has inherited the title, I would like to ask the prince to say a few good words in front of the emperor. It is the right way for the legitimate son to inherit the title."
Prince Lian's face darkened. This kid simply didn't know his place. How could others have the right to interfere in the matter of inheriting the title
Princess Lian also felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should not have introduced the prince to him.
Before they could get angry, Lin Yixuan continued, "The current emperor values legitimate children. The princes have grown up, and the crown prince is walking on thin ice. The emperor needs an excuse to punish the ministers."
The air in the room fell silent, and Princess Lian breathed a sigh of relief. She said, how could this child be so ignorant that he completely forgot his previous complaint.
Prince Lian tapped the table with his ten fingers, thinking deeply, and looked at Lin Yixuan deeply: "You dare to say it."
Lin Yixuan smiled calmly and said, "It depends on whether the prince dares to do it."
"You provoke me." Prince Lian's face was as gloomy as water, and a kind of oppression emanated from his body.
Lin Yixuan smiled lightly, seemingly unaware of what was happening, and said calmly, "This is a win-win situation."
Prince Lian was not convinced by him and asked casually, "Why don't you ask Jingyang Marquis's Mansion for help? If I remember correctly, your mother's relationship with Wenchang Marquis's Mansion doesn't seem to be harmonious."
Lin Yixuan did not hide it and said frankly: "The prince may not know that my mother is now in Jingyue Temple."
Prince Lian understood a little, and finally withdrew his pressure. He looked at Lin Yixuan with appreciation and said, "You are indeed filial, but if I really make such a suggestion, I am afraid I will offend many people, and you will be the only one who will benefit."
Lin Yixuan was not afraid of him, and replied calmly: "Prince Lian is in a high position and has great power, how could he be afraid of these things? What's more, the emperor will only like it more, and it will also benefit the prince."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Prince Lian became interested and wanted to see if he could identify a flower.
Lin Yixuan spoke eloquently: "The emperor is in his prime, but his subjects have begun to take sides, and the princes have also begun to emerge. The emperor must be unhappy. In addition, the emperor and the young couple have a special relationship. It is natural for the emperor to protect the prince. If the prince makes a suggestion at this time, wouldn't it be speaking to the emperor's heart? It also fits the emperor's impression of the prince, who is loyal and upright."
"Hahaha!" Prince Lian laughed happily, a rare laugh. He liked to hear words like loyalty and honesty: "What a good little ninth child of the Lin family. I didn't expect that you are not only good at flattering, but also good at speaking."
Lin Yixuan smiled and said, "I just told the Princess that I will only speak the truth."
"Speaking the truth, I will accept this matter."
Lin Yixuan was overjoyed and bowed quickly: "Thank you, Lord Lian."
Prince Lian waved his hand to stop him. "Don't thank me yet. I'll talk about the next volume of ancient mythology later. Since you opened the teahouse, you must know about this."
Lin Yixuan was speechless. She had never expected that he would ask about this. She sold out her husband without hesitation and said with a smile, "To be honest, the Ancient Romance was written by my husband. Now my husband is busy with the imperial examination. Although he has some manuscripts, they are not many."
"Your husband again?" Prince Lian was quite surprised. He still remembered that the floor heating seemed to be done by his husband. He nodded and said, "You are a lucky person."
Lin Yixuan was not hypocritical, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously: "It is my great honor to be able to marry my husband."
"Bring him to me another day." Prince Lian even changed his address at this moment.
Lin Yixuan hesitated for a moment and said politely: "This... My husband will take the imperial examination next year..."
Prince Lian understood the meaning of the voice and nodded slightly: "Forget it, I didn't think it through. You can bring the manuscript to me some other day. Your sister-in-law is also very bored all day long. You can spend more time with her when you have nothing to do."
Princess Lian blushed and glared at Prince Lian, but she couldn't hide her joy. The way she looked at Lin Yixuan became softer and she liked him more and more.
Lin Yixuan responded in the affirmative. With Prince Lian as her trademark, there was no need to worry about the reputation of Ms. Qingyang not spreading. She also did her part to promote her husband.
After finishing what needed to be done, Lin Yixuan asked for his leave and promised to send someone to deliver the manuscript and vegetables tomorrow. Only then did Prince Lian let him go.
Afterwards, he sighed to his wife: "It's a pity that Lin family's Xiaojiu is a twin. If he was a boy, he would definitely achieve something." He actually figured out the emperor's mind. What a talent it was. If he hadn't pointed it out to me, it would have taken me many years to figure out the key, and I would have lost so many opportunities. This time they were truly mutually beneficial, otherwise he would not have agreed so readily. It's true that those who are involved are the most confused!
