When Lin Furen thought that Lin Chujiu's identity was now higher than her and that she had lost money from Lin Chujiu, she no longer thinks of 'teaching' Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu was not the same as before. Lin Xiang repeatedly reminded her before she went out, not to dispute with Lin Chujiu. Even if Lin Chujiu slaps them in public, they shouldn't say anything.
All of the people present here were princes and princesses. Prince Zian was on Lin Chujiu's side. If she reprimanded Lin Chujiu, and Lin Chujiu was displeased, but the Crown Prince and Princess Fushou Zhang were not satisfied. They wouldn't give her a face.
So Lin Furen pretended to be stupid, and at the same time, she grabbed Lin Wanting's sleeve, so that she wouldn't be used as a gun.
The atmosphere froze again. The Crown Prince was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Lin Chujiu didn't think of breaking the embarrassing atmosphere, she held the teacup again with a smile and looked at everyone with satisfaction. But of course, she always focused on Princess Fushou Zhang.
Guilty, Princess Fushou Zhang always felt that Lin Chujiu looks at her. As if she knows something. Princess Fushou Zhang was angry, she wanted to send her back to the capital, but at this time, the servants brought the hot tea and snacks.
Princess Fushou Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed back the words that almost come out to her mouth. She chose to entertain everyone to drink tea and eat snacks.
She chose to tolerate Lin Chujiu. Anyway, she will get back to her with great interest!
"Eldest Imperial Aunt's snack is very unique." Prince Wen picked up the snack and praised it. As if nothing had happened just now.
"These snacks were specially made by the cooks in Jiangnan. If you like them, you can eat more. I'll ask the cooks to make you copies of each to take back home." Princess Fushou Zhang said generously. The Crown Prince and Lin Furen nodded their head in agreement. Soon, the atmosphere warmed up, and everyone started talking about irrelevant topics.
Lin Chujiu didn't speak very much and just put on a facade of being an 'attentive listener'. Occasionally, when Prince Wen and Princess Fushou Zhang asked her, Lin Chujiu would reply a few words. Seeing this, Princess Fushou Zhang went out under the premise of preparing for the banquet: "You talk slowly. I'll go to the kitchen to see how the preparations are."
Princess Fushou Zhang got up and a strong floral fragrance spread. Before she turned around, she didn't forget to say to the Crown Prince: "Crown Prince, please help me entertain Chujiu. I especially prepared this banquet to please her. It would be bad to neglect the guest."
Princess Fushou Zhang believed that she treated Lin Chujiu well enough. She was not as high and arrogant as before. She was sure that treating her like this will not make Lin Chujiu suspicious… …
Princess Fushou Zhang, who thought that she had shown goodness towards Lin Chujiu, completely dispelled Lin Chujiu's doubt. And so she left at ease.
Lin Chujiu simply smiled. She didn't refute, nor refrain her. The Crown Prince looked at Lin Chujiu indifferently but nodded his head: "Eldest Imperial Aunt, rest assured. I will entertain imperial aunt well and will not let her get bored."
The Crown Prince said with confidence, but as soon as Princess Fushou Zhang left, the Crown Prince turned his back to Lin Chujiu and concentrated on talking to Lin Wanting, who was sitting beside him…
"Er… …" When Prince Wen saw this scene, he was stunned, as his eyes rolled.
He really wanted to know, how did the empress raise the crown prince? How can he be so stupid?
Instead of talking and entertaining Xiao Wangfei, he talked to a little girl.
This little girl seems to be Xiao Wangfei's sister, Lin Xiang's second daughter?
Is the second daughter of a prime minister much worthy of attention for the Crown Prince?
Seeing the Crown Prince looking at Lin Wanting affectionately, Prince Wen shuddered: Is the Crown Prince in love or he just wants to win over Prime Minister Lin?
If it was the former, Prince Wen could only say that the Crown Prince was definitely not the seed of their Imperial Family. For men of their origin, when they did become affectionate to women?
As for the latter?
Prince Wen could only say that the Crown Prince's vision was so bad. He wanted to cooperate with Lin Xiang? How stupid can he be?
Lin Xiang was clearly the confidant of their imperial father. As long as he was loyal to the emperor, he will have power, but… …
If Lin Xiang cooperated with the Crown Prince, he will definitely be 'thrown away'. Even if he has rights, he will be cut off by their imperial father, and his previous prestige will be gone.
Prince Wen couldn't bear to watch the affectionate conversation between the Crown Prince and Lin Wanting. When he calmly swept his eyes away, he saw Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian.
Both of them were profound individuals. Xiao Zian patiently made tea, while Lin Chujiu drank the tea slowly. It can be seen in her eyes that she was extremely satisfied with the tea. But God knows she doesn't know how to taste tea at all.
Aside from the Crown Prince and Lin Wanting, no else spoke in the garden. The more Prince Wen looked at the two, the more he gets excited, but also disdain it. And so, he took the initiative to talk to Lin Chujiu: "Imperial Aunt, thank you for the money farm."
"Money farm?" Lin Chujiu was stunned for a moment and then smiled immediately after getting back her senses: "Prince Wen is too polite. We are a family. How can I be so unkind." Prince Wen was a wise man. This introduction can't be any better.
"Imperial Aunt, you are so great. Why didn't uncle marry you earlier? If he married you earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about money in the early years. Imperial Aunt, you don't know how low the salary of a prince is. If I rely only on this salary, I'll starve to death." Prince Wen said with exaggeration. At the same time, he took this opportunity to expose the matter of extorting grain prices.
At that time, he followed the trend to raise the price of grain, but he wasn't aiming at Xiao Wangfu. He was just like the others. He just followed to earn a little bit of money.
"You have to tell this to Uncle." Prince Wen said, so that Lin Chujiu will not show a cold face, but not to get close to her.
Prince Wen was not a simpleton. He was given a lot of power before… … that was enough to scare people.
"Imperial Uncle is at the front line. Imperial Aunt, can you let me go? I've stayed in the capital for several months now. I want to go out to train my muscles. I'm tired of staying in the capital." Prince Wen's eyes flashed with excitement. As if he was on the way to the battlefield at this time.
Lin Chujiu smiled and refused: "This matter needs to be discussed with the emperor and ask his approval. I can't decide on this matter."
"I knew it would be like this, Hays… I'd better stay honestly. Imperial Father warned me that the situation in the front line is tense at this time. He asked me to be obedient, otherwise, he would take back my money in Tongyuan Bank." When Prince Wen said those words, he looked at the Crown Prince. It can be seen that he was reminding the Crown Prince not to do things he shouldn't do. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince only has eyes to the beauty in front of him. He didn't even sense the hint of Prince Wen.
Xiao Zian frowned his eyebrows. He became more and more convinced that this banquet will not be peaceful. Lin Chujiu looked at Prince Wen with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of warnings.
This glance made Prince Wen realized that Lin Chujiu knew a lot. At least more than him… …
