"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so arrogant that he actually voluntarily gave up his position as Commander of the Imperial Guards and handed him over to the hands of the Third Prince Zhu Cijiong!"
"Hehe! That's the third prince. In the eyes of us officials, he is the one who should become the prince most. We just need to pull Lin Fan down from the position of prince. I believe the third prince will know what to do."
"That's right! The Commander of the Jinyi Guards is in charge of all the Jinyi Guards. Those who quit the Jinyi Guards also formed the Eagle Guards, and they are still under the control of the third prince!"
"Interesting! I thought Lin Fan was a smart person, but I didn't expect that there would be times when he was stupid. He would dare to give up the position of Commander of the Imperial Guards at will!"
…
Officials discussed the matter privately and felt that an opportunity had come.
At this time, Lin Fan returned to the Lin Mansion. Nalan Yanran had already known the news of Lin Fan's return, so she had been sitting in the courtyard.
Seeing Lin Fan, Nalan Yanran jumped over and ran over: "Ms. sir! You are finally back. Yan'er misses you!"
After saying that, Nalan Yanran's legs were wrapped around Lin Fan's waist, like a pendant hanging on Lin Fan's body, and Lin Fan lovingly held Nalan Yanran in his arms.
"Yan'er, my husband is out this time and I miss you very much."
Lin Fan said with a smile and hugged Nalan Yanran tightly in his arms.
The two hugged each other for a long time, and then Nalan Yanran got off Lin Fan. No one in the Lin Mansion dared to disturb this sweet couple.
However, Liu Qingqing and Lin Qingyu stood aside. Seeing this scene, they both felt mixed emotions and felt a little disappointed.
Not to mention Liu Qingqing, Lin Qingyu had already fallen in love with Lin Fan when she first met him. After learning that Lin Fan was the prince, she even wanted to follow Lin Fan.
Seeing Lin Fan doting on the Crown Princess so much, Lin Qingyu felt that Lin Fan was a very good man, so she liked her even more.
"Ms. sir, did you bring me any gifts when you went out this time?"
Nalan Yanran suddenly asked.
Forehead……
Lin Fan suddenly realized that whether in the future or in ancient times, girls needed to be coaxed with gifts. It was a sin for him to go out for so long and not come back with a gift.
"Yan'er, my husband came back in a hurry this time, so he didn't bring any gifts. I'll go shopping with you tomorrow and give you whatever you like."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Nalan Yanran snorted coldly and said: "Humph! I know that you were in danger in Shunqing Fucheng. I will let you go this time. If you don't bring me a gift next time, I will beat you."
After saying that, Nalan Yanran did not forget to extend her fist towards Lin Fan. Lin Fan looked at Nalan Yanran who was as fierce as a little tiger and made a scared expression.
The two of them were so tired that in the evening, Li Jiantai and Li Guozhen came to visit.
"Haha! Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much!"
"Your Highness, I have been thinking about you very much these past few days."
When Li Guozhen and Li Jiantai saw Lin Fan, they smiled and said.
Lin Fan gave the two of them a big roll of his eyes. These two people were unlucky and could not afford to be early. They would definitely be up to no good if they came here.
However, I also have things that I need them to do at the moment. Since you have come to my door on your own initiative, don't blame me for being such a big talker.
"Haha! You two are so polite. After I returned to the capital, only two of them came to visit me. I'm a little disappointed. I didn't expect that the front door of my majestic prince would be so deserted."
Lin Fan said with a smile, and then pretended to be disappointed.
Li Jiantai said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, what are you talking about? Most of the officials in our court are flatterers, and His Royal Highness does not like these, so naturally no one comes to visit us."
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince is upright. Those people who come to your door with gifts will not only receive no benefits, but will be severely scolded. Naturally, they will not dare to come."
Li Guozhen also said.
Lin Fan thought to himself, those people didn't dare to come, so when you two came, you didn't bring any gifts?
"You two adults are just in time. Our Lin Mansion is going to change its signboard in the next few days. However, I don't want to change it to an ordinary signboard. Why don't you two adults give me some advice on how to change it?"
Lin Fan said casually.
Li Guozhen and Li Jiantai were both smart people. At this time, they already understood that Lin Fan wanted them to help him change a brand. As for what to change, they were not fools and could naturally think of it.
"Haha! His Royal Highness the Prince is finally taking off the Lin Mansion's signboard. What a joy! Since it is the Prince's Mansion, it naturally has to be noble. How about engraving it in brass?"
Li Jiantai said in a deep voice.
"Haha! What Li Shangshu said is wrong. What brass highlights is not nobility, but vulgarity. Naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot use such a brand."
"Well, let's use ebony for carving. The price of ebony is no cheaper than brass."
Li Guozhen said with a smile.
Strictly speaking, the price of ebony is much more expensive than brass. Lin Fan was not very satisfied with the two people's proposals. What he wanted was a more special sign.
"Two adults, do you think it would look special if the signboard of the Prince's residence was made of pure gold?"
Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
kindness!
Made of gold!
Li Guozhen and Li Jiantai were both stunned and thought to themselves, Your Highness the Prince is just looking for trouble. If you make a plaque of pure gold and hang it outside, aren't you afraid of people stealing it?
Gold cannot be prevented from being stolen if it is placed in the house. It would be too ostentatious to hang it outside!
"Ahem! His Highness the Crown Prince's views are indeed unmatched by officials like us. If the plaque is made of pure gold, it will definitely be extraordinary!"
Li Guozhen said with a smile.
"Yes! After hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, I also think a plaque made of pure gold is better!"
Li Jiantai also said.
Anyway, this plaque is not used by the two of them. His Royal Highness can use it as he wants. If it is lost, he will send people to recover it himself.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Since both adults have agreed, this matter will be left to you."
Forehead……
Li Jiantai and Li Guozhen were speechless. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned this matter in front of them. It turned out that he was waiting for them here.
The door of the prince's residence is so big, so the plaque must not be small. If it is made of wood, it will weigh dozens of kilograms. If it is made of pure gold, it will weigh several hundred kilograms.
One kilogram is equal to ten taels, and one tael of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver. One hundred kilograms of gold is equal to one hundred thousand taels of silver!
In other words, if they made this plaque, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver would be completely wasted!
