Lin Jinxiao had some refreshments and then began to review the reports on the situation of the people from various counties. When he was in a state of trance, Sun Wucai suddenly appeared at the door again and said loudly: "Your Highness, Princess Yuanxi wants to see you."
"Princess Yuanxi?"
Lin Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, raised his head and asked, "What is she here for?"
"I don't know. She said that she has any good news and she wants to tell His Highness herself."
Sun Wucai nodded suspiciously: "The official looked at the princess with a happy face. I'm afraid there really is some good news to tell His Highness."
"Then let her in."
After Lin Jinxiao finished his instructions, he sorted out the official documents on the table. Not long after, he saw Tang Yuanxi in high spirits being led into the government office by Sun Wucai.
"Brother Jinxiao."
Tang Yuanxi was so affectionate that she moved closer to him.
Lin Jinxiao was so frightened that he quickly told Sun Wucai: "Give the princess a seat."
With a scolding, Tang Yuanxi stopped walking over.
After Tang Yuanxi sat down, Lin Jinxiao asked with a cold face: "Why did the princess come to the government office alone? What good news do you want to tell me?"
If the Tang family hadn't been overthrown, it wouldn't be a good news for him.
Tang Yuanxi laughed so hard that her flowers trembled, and said bluntly: "Princess Qian has already petitioned Your Majesty to grant a marriage to the slave family and Your Highness."
"Marriage?"
Lin Jinxiao was confused when he heard this, and immediately shouted angrily: "I have already married a wife and had children, how can I grant you a marriage?"
Tang Yuanxi did not expect that he would not only be unhappy but also very angry when he heard the news. She said with a stiff face and some fear: "The princess's sister-in-law has sent a petition to your majesty to designate me as the side concubine of Prince Pingning. The imperial edict will arrive at Luyan Port in the near future.
I have no extravagant expectations of becoming a main concubine. As long as I can stay with brother Jinxiao, I will be satisfied. Even the title of side concubine is the meaning of the princess sister-in-law."
Silently looking at Lin Jinxiao with a gloomy face, Tang Yuanxi complained aggrievedly: "Does it mean that brother Jinxiao doesn't like me and doesn't want me to enter the palace?"
"joke."
Lin Jinxiao stood up angrily: "When did I say that I liked the princess? And when did I mention that I wanted the princess to enter the palace?"
I just didn't like this princess before, but now that she does something like this, it will only make me hate her even more.
"Please also ask the princess to return to the mansion immediately and ask Princess Qian to take back the memorial to the court."
Lin Jinxiao forced himself with a serious face and a commanding tone.
"impossible."
Tang Yuanxi was also furious: "After all, I am a girl from a famous Tang family, and I have been canonized as a princess. I am committed to being a concubine for His Highness. Isn't this too much to ask? Can you tolerate that village woman spending five hundred dollars?"
I forced you to be my son-in-law for two taels of silver, and I will marry you into your house as a concubine with the honor and disgrace of the entire Tang family. Why do you resist so much?"
"Even if your Tang family is powerful, it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Jinxiao's complexion gradually turned cold, and the chill surged upwards, making Sun Wucai tremble in his heart as he watched.
I thought that this little princess really came to deliver good news, but I never thought that she came to ask for her hand in marriage.
The dignified daughter of the Tang family, with the title of princess, is so noble. She can't marry anyone, and she has to beg to be a concubine.
His head was probably caught in the door.
Seeing that his superior was unwilling to accept this marriage, Sun Wucai also persuaded him: "Princess, please think clearly, my Royal Highness and King Qinghe are both princes of the foreign vassal, and King Qinghe is the son of the Queen Mother. In the future,
He is the most likely to inherit the throne, how can he tolerate you marrying my Highness?"
"I think clearly."
Tang Yuanxi looked at Lin Jinxiao affectionately and said earnestly: "As long as I can enter Prince Pingning's palace, even if King Qinghe ascends the throne in the future, he will not embarrass brother Jinxiao. I will ask him to continue for the sake of my father.
Let brother Jinxiao take charge of Pingning Province and protect the southern border for him."
Lin Jinxiao felt helpless.
This little princess is really simple-minded. She is really pampered and feels that she can be anyone's master.
But it was no small matter for him to ask your majesty for marriage. He had to lower his voice and say to her calmly: "I accept the princess's kindness. I already have a family and have no intention of caring about him. As long as the princess takes back my order, I, the king, will do it."
You don’t have to worry about today’s events and just pretend that nothing happened.”
"What if I insist on doing this?"
Tang Yuanxi felt extremely traumatized in her heart.
I thought that with such a noble status, I would commit myself to be his concubine, and he would be extremely moved. Who would have thought that he would have to refute, which would put his own face at risk.
Lin Jinxiao had lost his patience and replied coldly: "If the princess insists on having her own way, even if you can seek the holy will and enter Prince Pingning's palace, I will never have any affection for the princess in this life."
"People change."
Tang Yuanxi said reluctantly: "You didn't have any affection for her back then, so why are you treating her so affectionately now? I believe that one day you will also have affection for me."
"Incomprehensible."
Lin Jinxiao scolded impatiently and shouted angrily at Sun Wucai: "Sun Changshi, see the guest off."
Afterwards, he took the lead in leaving the government office and rushed towards Qinghefang.
Chu Nanzhi inspected the dishes prepared today and the hygiene conditions in the restaurant as usual. As soon as she saw Butler Zhao, she heard him complain about Princess Qian: "Mrs. Chu, you still don't know, the Duwei Mansion last night
People from the Duwei Mansion bought all the shops in the row opposite Qinghefang, saying that they wanted to make it the largest restaurant in Luyan Port, surpassing our Yuanlai Restaurant."
After a pause, he became even more depressed and angry: "You said that even if she wanted to have a restaurant, she chose a shop with a bad location, but she chose the one opposite our restaurant. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing? This Tangdu
After all, Wei has to work with His Highness. How can the two adults get along with each other if the princess behaves like this?"
Chu Nanzhi never expected that Lin Jinqian would do such a thing.
This is really rich and willful.
There are many teahouses and restaurants in the east of the city. This kind of situation is not a big deal, but Qinghefang is not the best location. If she really wanted to do business, she should go to those excellent locations. How could she think of coming here?
I'm afraid it's just to disgust myself.
Anyway, this matter was not something she could control. She pretended to be indifferent and said with a smile: "Don't worry about her. If she wants to do it, let her do it. It doesn't cost us any money anyway. We just need to use our own money to do it."
As long as the restaurant is well run, it will be fine.”
After hearing this, Butler Zhao could only nod angrily and continue to do other things.
Just after comforting one of them, another cold and handsome young man walked in casually.
The pretty boy was still happy when he went out in the morning, but after not seeing him for a few hours, he looked gloomy.
Chu Nanzhi hurried up to greet her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? You have such a bitter look on your face. Could it be that you went to the government office and suffered a grievance?"
"fine."
Lin Jinxiao pulled her and walked inside. As he walked, he ordered: "Today's official business is almost done. I will deal with the rest tomorrow. I want to stay at the restaurant to accompany you for the rest of the time."
"Accompany me?"
Chu Nanzhi was even more puzzled.
I'm so good, why do I need him to accompany me? Besides, we can see each other again when we get home.
