I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

She is not Xie or Miao, who relies on men's favor every day. Either she is devoted to you or she is a bystander from beginning to end. If you want to treat me as a sacrifice and plaything for you powerful people, it depends on whether I agree or not.

Lin Yan lowered her head and said nothing, trying to protect herself and pretend to be submissive.

Zhao Yuan didn't want to give up, and continued to present facts and reason: "At worst, I promise you that I will not go to the Xie and Miao families anymore.

But the ancestral rules cannot be broken. As for the princess, even though Mu Xueli was born as a concubine of the Bo family, I don’t like her. As the mistress of the palace, I have to give her the face she deserves. "

"It's common for a man to have three or four wives. Who doesn't have three or five close friends in the backyard? Otherwise, you'll be laughed at when you go out. You don't want me to be bullied about this every day while standing in the court, do you?"

If he could marry Lin Yan as his princess, even if she was of a lower status, he would be particularly fond of her.

He was at a disadvantage from the beginning. The status given by the Empress Dowager, from concubine to princess, he did not have the courage to challenge the etiquette. If he really did this, he would no longer be able to protect Lin Yan, and the clan officials would be the first to jump out and beat her to death.

Crime: A witch who brought disaster to the country and the people! He could do nothing about it.

Not having a legitimate son is not good for ordinary people, let alone him. Mu Xueli still needs to observe for a while. If it doesn't work, she can change another one. She can't let herself down no matter what.

This was the first time he had to be so humble to coax a woman, and it was all because of damn jealousy. If his brothers knew about this, they would not know how to squeeze him.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Yan remained silent.

This was a confrontation with him. Zhao Yuan was getting angry: "Did you listen to me?"

Lin Yan closed her eyes and rolled her eyes, wanting to slap him twice, but she judged the situation and decided to take advantage of the situation and avoid danger, so she nodded.

"Agreed?" Zhao Yuan's brows lit up, and he asked uncertainly.

What did she promise? If she promised, could he do whatever he wanted to her, kiss her and touch her?

Lin Yan subconsciously opened her eyes and wanted to lift the bed. She was in a dilemma whether to agree or not. How could she deal with the aggressive Zhao Yuan?

"My Lord, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Yuan was confused by Lin Yan's question and touched her face gently.

"I don't want to lie to you and say something against my will, but I'm afraid you'll get angry if I tell you the truth. Your Majesty, you have to promise me first that you won't be angry, or at least not strangle me." Lin Yan climbed up the pole and held on to the right to speak.

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly. Why was he so uneasy? But he was a little unsure whether to listen or not.

For some reason, he just couldn't accept that Lin Yan didn't agree to him.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"Make pinky promise, the one who regrets is the puppy!" Lin Yan playfully stretched out her little finger.

Zhao Yuan frowned and wanted to laugh. He seemed to have thought too much. A Yan was as innocent as ever. Since she liked him, even if she didn't agree, he could take his time and not be in a hurry.

"I've heard it and I understand, but I can't agree to it." Lin Yan stared into Zhao Yuan's eyes and answered affirmatively.

"Reason?" Zhao Yuan had already vaguely guessed it in his mind.

Lin Yan was a little surprised and was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, put yourself in my shoes.

If you become me, a woman who deeply loves her man, but your man says, "I love you, but I will not stop you from marrying another wife and sleeping with a concubine." Lin Yan paused here and said, "Prince, can you accept it?"

Zhao Yuan was so angry that he laughed. What kind of logic was this? "How could I become a woman? Are you comparing yourself to me? You are nothing but a thing given to me by the Empress Dowager. How dare you compare yourself to me?"

Although Lin Yan was mentally prepared, Zhao Yuan's words were still harsh and chilling. His favor was indeed unreliable!

"Since the prince despises me, I know I am not worthy of him. Why don't you just kick me out of the house to avoid polluting his place?" Lin Yan returned to the topic and raised her eyebrows at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan suddenly exerted force and pinched Lin Yan's cheek again, his face somewhat ferocious: "Want to leave? Stop daydreaming. Since you are already my person, you are my person in life and my ghost in death. Even if you die, you must die in the Rui Palace!"

Zhao Yuan pushed Lin Yan aside, uttered some harsh words, stood up angrily, slammed the door and left.

Green tea, the branches and leaves were so scared that they hid aside and trembled. They looked at each other: "Master Lin's skills have improved again!"

Zhao Yuan's anger frightened Lin Yan so much that she lay on the bed for a long time, then slowly leaned against the head of the bed. If he didn't pinch her neck, he would pinch her face, so she even saved the trouble of getting a face-slimming injection.

“Master…” Green Tea called out worriedly.

"It's okay! Pour me a cup of hot water." Lin Yan wiped away her tears fiercely and forced herself to suppress a smile, a bitter smile.

Why is it so hard to leave?

Zhao Yuan, you are a psychopath, you deserve to be a wife-killer. Although he was extremely reluctant, when facing Zhao Yuan, he not only wanted to scold him, but more often he wanted to fight back.

He looked at his thin arms and legs and sighed. His thin arms couldn't twist his thighs! Was he going to stay with Prince Rui like this for the rest of his life, and end up being a plaything and a slave?

Freedom! I want to fly freely in the vast universe, I want to be unfettered, my heart is my own, not his.

At worst... Lin Yan gritted her teeth and decided.

Zhao Yuan returned to the study room angrily: "Martin, stay outside. I don't want to see anyone now!"

He just couldn't understand it. Lin Yan, who was born with a lonely fate, knew that her concubine could not be changed, so where did she get the courage to think like this.

What's funny is that she actually wants to be on an equal footing with me. Status and position are fixed and cannot be changed. Although I have to admit that her ability to make money is first-class, I also want to promote her.

But she is too arrogant. Every word she says is forcing me to make a choice, every word she says is accusing me. There are only a few women in my room, but she can't tolerate any of them. Is there anyone who is more jealous than me?

Really, with her courage, it’s a good thing she doesn’t want that chair, otherwise, with her current stubbornness, she would have turned the entire palace upside down.

It's because I doted on her too much, and she became arrogant because of it. I'll ignore her for a while and let her reflect on herself. I've made her jealous.

I was so angry early in the morning that I didn't want to do anything.

---------

Mu Xueli was also very angry now. Xiang Ling had just ordered the maid to clean the house.

"Xiangling, do you have any good ideas? I can't wait any longer." Mu Xueli originally wanted to wait until the prince was not at home to deal with Lin Yan. After venting her anger, she couldn't stay any longer. She had to embarrass Lin Yan and not let her continue to challenge her authority.

Xiang Ling's eyes flashed with a vicious light: "Miss, how about we do this..."

"Will this spread the news that the prince is unlucky in marriage? I have bribed the master and I firmly believe that I can resolve the prince's fate of unlucky in marriage."

"My lady, you are the prince's wife, and Lin Yan is just a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage. As long as you are alive, it will be enough!"

"Yes! How could I forget..." Mu Xueli slapped her thigh, and suddenly it became clear. It was all because of that damn Lin Yan that she was mad at me. If you don't take the road to heaven, you will go to hell. Humph...

"You go and arrange it. I don't mind spending any amount of money! But you have to do it beautifully for me and can't let Zhao Yuan suspect me at all. Otherwise, Xiangling, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between master and servant!" Mu Xueli looked at Xiang Ling angrily.

Xiang Ling shuddered and nodded: "Don't worry!" Even if the young lady let her go, Zhao Yuan would not let her go. After all, she and the young lady were on the same boat, and the young lady couldn't save herself.

"Go! After it's done, I will take the initiative to make you my aunt!" Mu Xueli added with a gentle look.

Xiangling was waiting for this sentence, and went down with full determination.

Chief Steward Zhai came to report that the Crown Prince has arrived!

Zhao Yuan was angry with Lin Yan. He didn't expect the prince to come to his house. What did he want to do? Last night, he had clearly rejected him. Today, he didn't go out, even though it was already noon.

I really don't want to see him.

"Tell him I'm not at home!" Zhao Yuan looked up and ordered.

Manager Zhai felt a little embarrassed and did not retreat. He wanted to say something but did not dare to.

"What else do you have to say? Let's finish it in one go."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if you were not at home, he would like to ask Master Lin to make him some milk tea."

"Ayan can make milk tea, how come I don't know when this happened?"

"Your Highness, you were away on official business for a while. On the first day of the new year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several princes came to our house to pay New Year's greetings! We had no choice but to ask Master Lin to entertain them. On that day, Master Lin entertained them in the tea room and made milk tea."

Zhao Yuan frowned. No wonder A Yan was so bold all day long and said that there was no other man in her heart.

Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for her by name, and I said, how dare he open his mouth? So there is a twist in the story!

Zhao Yuan's face suddenly turned pale. "Okay, fine, I want to see how you cheat on me."

No wonder he dared to say those words to me so stubbornly and forcefully, did he climb up the social ladder?

Your Highness, you are amazing. I am out here working for you, but you are trying to steal my girl at home. You are my good brother! I want to see how you guys are going to make tea today.

"Go and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Master Lin has come. If he doesn't mind it being unlucky, go and inform Master Lin."

Manager Zhai nodded and left.

……

"How about it?"

Chief Steward Zhai replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already left. He said he would come back another day when he has the chance!"

"Humph! I thought he had no scruples, but it turns out he's just a coward. His feelings towards Yan are just so-so! Tell this news to Master Lin, see how she reacts, and then report back to me!"

"Yes!" Chief Steward Zhai left upon receiving the order. I don't know what Master Lin did, but he pissed off the prince again. He could get mad twice a day, but he still doted on him and paid constant attention to him.

……

"How about it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Master Lin simply said 'oh'!"

"Oh! What is she doing now?"

"Lying on the beauty couch, reading a book and eating snacks!" Manager Zhai answered truthfully.

Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little upset. She was feeling depressed here alone, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She ate as she should and drank as she should, still leisurely and comfortable.

This is what she called love. I really doubt how much she likes herself.

But she really didn't seem to like the prince. Maybe she was overthinking it, and it was just the prince's wishful thinking. After all, Lin Yan's ability to make money was still very strong.

"Bring all the account books of the cake shop in recent months to me. I want to take a look!" Zhao Yuan ordered. He has been too busy in the past few days since he came back. He has been busy handling official business and has not had time to ask about those things.

I wonder how much money was earned during the Chinese New Year? Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up. He thought about how he earned tens of thousands of taels in the first few days of opening. Although sales dropped a lot later, they never dropped below 10,000. So, he earned at least 300,000 taels a month. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this,

Zhao Yuan thought of himself, humph! He was indeed a dog-nosed, money-hungry guy.
