You are my golden finger

The two of them stayed in an inn by the West Lake, enjoying the scenery of the West Lake, tasting the West Lake delicacies, and living in their own world of two without being disturbed by anyone. They felt quite comfortable.

"Jin'er, when this place is developed, Delicious House needs to open two more restaurants here, otherwise the food here will be too monotonous."

"Well, the specialties here are pitifully few and can hardly be compared with modern ones. Fish and shrimp are the main dishes, and there are some seasonal lotus roots, lotus leaf chicken, lotus seed soup and the like. There is a lot of room for improvement. It will be easy for Delicious House to become popular in this area." Lin Xijin had obviously thought about this problem in her mind a long time ago.

“It would be best if it could integrate leisure, entertainment, accommodation and catering, making it convenient for tourists to eat, stay and vacation.”

"We'll go out and look for a suitable place to build the villa. We'll design it first, and then we can start construction after Li Yuze is transferred here next year."

They both acted quickly, and after a walk, they found an ideal location near the Broken Bridge of West Lake. This place is backed by Gushan Mountain, facing West Lake, and opposite to Baoshi Mountain in the distance. In the future, as long as the bridge and the tower are built, this place will be the location of the scenic spots of "Broken Bridge with Residual Snow", "Su Causeway in Spring Dawn", and "Pinghu Autumn Moon".

However, we can cater to the story of "The Legend of White Snake" and change the name of "Su Causeway Spring Dawn" to "Bai Causeway Spring Dawn". After all, the modern time is thousands of years away and any change will not affect the progress of history.

Thinking of the distant modern times that they could never return to, they felt a little disappointed. Fortunately, they had nothing to do with each other in the modern times, and their relatives and friends had long since turned into dust.

Now that the two of them can meet in this imaginary dynasty of ancient times, there is really no regret. Thinking of this, the two of them felt relieved.

"Jin'er, I'm glad you're here! Thank you for coming to me!" Murong Xu held Lin Xijin's hand and said emotionally.

"So am I! We are the favorites of Father Tiandao."

There is no moon tonight. Only the lake water is rippling gently in the quiet night. The sparkling water is emitting circles of faint light, like a flowing ink painting.

It was time to go back. The two people snuggled together by the lake. Facing the tranquil and profound scenery of lakes and mountains, although they were reluctant to leave, they still stood up hand in hand, summoned a helicopter and took off into the distant sky.

"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, have something to report." The Censor Yan Congqing stepped out with a tablet in his hand and presented the report.

"Prelude!"

"I think that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said at the time of his wedding, 'I will only marry a Crown Princess in this life', is inappropriate. To maintain the dignity of the royal family and expand the royal family as soon as possible, I think the Crown Prince should fill the Eastern Palace as soon as possible, select concubines, and continue the royal lineage." Supervisory Censor Yan Congqing made a righteous memorial.

"We second the motion." Several more ministers stepped forward.

Murong Xu looked coldly at the ministers who were making reports below. He was too familiar with this scene. Before he got married, these people clamored for him to choose a princess as his wife. Now that he was married, they wanted him to choose a concubine. The purpose was self-evident.

Except for a few officials who wanted to get close to the Eastern Palace by using their daughters, the other officials were simply instructed by someone to plant people into the Eastern Palace to gather intelligence or wait for an opportunity to take his life when they failed to kill him outside.

Seeing this scene, he remembered the trick Lin Xijin had given him. So he smiled and said, "My Lords, I would like to thank you for your consideration for the court. I agree with your proposal. After I married the Crown Princess, I realized how lucky it is to have someone to help share the responsibility. So choosing a concubine now is a good thing, but there is one thing, I hope everyone will follow it."

"When you see a virtuous person, you should strive to emulate him. The disaster relief in Jiangnan has cost a lot of money, and the Crown Princess has donated a lot of money. She donated almost all of her property and even came to Jiuchang County to provide disaster relief in person."

"In order to be fair and worthy of the new Crown Princess, I require that those who are interested in the position of the Crown Princess, in addition to being of good character and appearance, also donate food, medicinal materials, and silver in an amount that is half of what the Crown Princess donated, and then personally go to Jiuchang County to provide disaster relief for half a year."

"After being selected into the Eastern Palace, the dowry must be half of that of the Crown Princess, and all of it will be put into the Eastern Palace storehouse. Anyone interested can sign up, and we will send the people and donated items over tomorrow."

The sinister Murong Xu sat in the court, explaining the requirements for selecting a concubine in a well-reasoned and calm manner.

The emperor sat on the high dragon throne, watching the excitement without any hesitation. Looking at the ministers with dark complexions, he looked serious on the surface, but in his heart he was very happy.

Do it, do it as much as you can!

His father had given up trying to dissuade him, so it was not a bad idea for these ministers to come over and watch the show. No, they could even add fuel to the fire!

"What you ministers said makes sense. Since the Crown Princess was born, the national treasury has saved a lot of money, and there has been a slight surplus in the past two years. The Crown Prince should indeed select more concubines. More concubines means one more person to share some of the court's financial expenses. How great! Just recommend candidates according to the standards you mentioned. If any of you has a suitable candidate, please report it as soon as possible." The Emperor spoke, but did not go down the stairs. Instead, he piled up the stairs to make them one step higher.

"Sharing the financial expenses of the court? This is choosing a concubine?!" The ministers were all amazed and looked at each other, no one dared to say a word.

"My dear Lord Yan, you were the first to propose the selection of a concubine. Do you have a candidate who meets the prince's requirements for a concubine?" They are indeed father and son, even their scheming styles are exactly the same.

"I don't have it at the moment. I need to go back and check it." Yan Congqing answered embarrassedly.

"My dear ministers, please go back and discuss it. Try to find a suitable candidate for a concubine as soon as possible. Jiuchang County still needs a large amount of relief supplies." Seeing that no one spoke, Murong Xu finally let these people go.

The court officials wiped the sweat from their foreheads, fearing that the emperor and his son would ask them for the candidate for a concubine, and quickly dispersed.

"This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too terrible. He didn't say a word of opposition, but only used this one move, leaving everyone speechless and helpless." After the court session, several ministers were discussing in whispers.

"Great! The prince's trick is really great! No one can get close to him this way. Who has the financial resources? Or who is willing to spend the money?" The Minister of Rites who said this truly admired Murong Xu.

The culprit, Yan Congqing, left in a hurry, and it was unknown whether he was going to deal with government affairs or to meet the master behind him.

"Bang!" The Fourth Prince Murong Chun received the news from the court and he had no idea how many teacups he had smashed.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to place people in the East Palace so that he could find an opportunity to get rid of Murong Xu in the future.

Even if he cannot be eliminated, at the very least he can alienate the relationship between Murong Xu and Lin Xijin.

Without Lin Xijin's help, it would be much easier to get rid of Prince Murong Xu. Didn't the third brother almost succeed twice?

Little did they know that this plan was easily crushed by Murong Xu.

If choosing a concubine was just a matter of donating money and food, it would be easy to solve, just ask the ministers to make up for it. On the contrary, the last two items were obviously Murong Xu's tricks, and they were probably obstacles set by Murong Xu that no one could pass.

"Hahaha," Murong Xu couldn't help but burst into laughter after returning to the East Palace after court session. "Jin'er, how can you be so mean! You don't even know why I feel so good when I see their faces as black as the bottom of a pot!"

"How dare you say I'm mean?" Lin Xijin came up and twisted Murong Xu's ear this time.

"Ah, ah, ah, Jin'er, be gentle, it hurts!" Murong Xu begged for mercy, "You are not mean, you are smart and cute!"

While begging for mercy, Murong Xu hurriedly hugged Lin Xijin, restrained her rebellious little hands, and took the opportunity to attack, and the situation suddenly reversed.

Lin Xijin was forced to let her hair down, leaving her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her eyes were moving and she was indescribably charming.
