The emperor dropped the ball and smiled heartily:
"What's the crime? The fact that you can tell me about family matters that are not honorable shows that you are open-minded. The fact that you don't think carefully about what you say shows that you are not on guard against me. Although I am the emperor, you can be extremely sincere to me. There are so few people out there, so it’s so valuable.”
"Loyalty to the king is the duty of a minister. Moreover, I firmly believe that sincerity can defeat all evils, so it is better to keep it simple."
Inside Songmao Hall.
Lin Jinyan mentioned that she wanted to take Lin Wanrong and Zhou Yuexue to inspect the shops.
The old lady smiled lovingly: "Just take your time and look around the shop. Don't tire yourself. Yuexue was picked up by Qi Shangshu's sister early in the morning. You two can just go."
Lin Jinyan: "It's a good thing that my cousin can make good friends. I'll be back later today. I'll take a look at the shop and go to Wang Shilang's house to say thank you."
The old lady nodded and said: "It should be so. Huizhao, this child, looks rough and rough, but in fact he is rough and fine. He came to visit you that day and brought a bunch of generous gifts. Knowing that the princess and Miss Feng were there, he just took the lucky bag. I’m going to find you. Since you want to thank me, you can’t go empty-handed and bring some money from the public servant.”
The two sisters left the house together and went to two shops before the carriage stopped at an alleyway.
Lin Wanrong followed Lin Jinyan out of the carriage, looked at Xingyue Pavilion in front of her and asked:
"Yan'er, do you want to buy jewelry?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "I brought my sister to inspect the shop."
Before Lin Wanrong could ask any more questions, Lin Jinyan had already led Lin Wanrong into the shop. Yu Niang greeted her respectfully and saluted:
"Miss."
Lin Jinyan: "My sister is the owner of this shop."
Upon hearing this, Lady Yu hurriedly saluted Lin Wanrong again.
Lin Wanrong looked confused: "Yan'er, this is..."
Lin Jinyan: "When I came here last time, I heard from my sister that she liked this shop. I happened to know that this shop was for sale, so I bought it. From now on, this shop will belong to my sister."
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Chu Chengyao: "Can Minister Han leave the palace?"
Zhong Yi: "Zhao Jin just came back with a message saying that Minister Han was retained by His Majesty. He had been playing chess for an hour and had just left the palace. But before leaving the palace, he was stopped by the prince. The two had a conversation before leaving the palace. ."
Chu Chengyao sneered and said: "My imperial brother has been surrounded by stars since he was a child. He can't bend down and make friends with weak people. It's just that he is now showing favor to Han Shilang and wants to draw him into his camp. , it’s already too late.”
Zhong Yi: "Shilang Han listened to your instructions and wrote down his full ambitions on paper, and then let the servants who were rewarded by your majesty see it. Only then did he have the opportunity to meet the emperor alone. He would not be won over by the prince's few words. ."
Chu Chengyao: "How is Li Siyu doing lately?"
Zhong Yi: "I went to see the prince twice, but the prince was very worried recently due to the affairs of the Xue family and the Gao family, so he didn't pay attention to him."
There was a smile in Chu Chengyao's eyes: "It's all expected. He asked Yang Qi to ask me to meet. He must have already decided who he wants to meet."
Zhong Yi: "This is all the result of His Highness's strategic planning. I would like to congratulate His Highness in advance and gain two more confidants."
Chu Chengyao: "There is still a long way to go, so don't be proud. If the Dingbei Army is under my control, then we will be sure of victory. Is there any news from Lin Jinyan?"
Zhong Yi: "Lin Jinyan bought a jewelry shop in the Gao family and gave it to her cousin who lives in the second room of the Lin family. Today she is taking her cousin to check out the shop. Miss Zhou, Miss Qi, and several others The female family members of the family went to the poetry meeting and said they would wait for you at Taihe Restaurant later in the evening."
