The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"Butler Li, this is a small gift from my young lady. Please accept it."

Li Zhong looked at the purse, slightly stunned, then took it with a smile.

"Thank you, Madam, for your gift." His attitude became even more respectful. "I will definitely serve you with all my heart and soul."

Lin Wanqing looked at him and smiled faintly: "Then I'll have to trouble Butler Li."

Li Zhong shook his head repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not."

As he spoke, he bowed again and then turned and left with a few servants.

Watching Li Zhong leave, Pei'er turned to look at Lin Wanqing and said, "Miss, this housekeeper Li seems to be a loyal and honest man."

Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Loyal and honest?"

She curled the corners of her lips slightly, and a meaningful light flashed in her eyes.

In this cannibalistic harem, how many people are truly loyal and honest?

However, no matter whether Butler Li was sincere or not, as long as he could do his best for her, she would naturally not treat him unfairly.

"Let's go, let's go back." She retracted her gaze and turned to walk into the yard. "When the prince comes back, remember to notify me."

Pearl nodded: "Yes, Miss."

Shortly after the master and servant returned to the room, a servant rushed in.

"Madam, the prince is back!" He looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Would you like to go to the front hall to pay your respects to the prince?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing stood up from his chair and said, "Of course I'll go."

As she spoke, she took Pearl to the front hall.

As soon as she reached the front hall door, she saw Lu Shengyuan's tall and straight figure.

He was standing with his hands behind his back, his back to the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Shengyuan turned around and looked over.

Seeing Lin Wanqing, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are here."

Lin Wanqing nodded, walked up to him, and bowed: "My concubine greets the prince."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her and said calmly, "Get up."

He said, turning around and walking to the chair and sitting down.

Lin Wanqing stood up and walked to stand beside him.

"Is the Prince busy with official business today?" She looked at Lu Shengyuan and spoke with a hint of concern in her tone.

Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her deeply.

Is this woman caring about him?

His heart moved slightly, and he looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Fortunately, there are not many things to do today."

Lin Wanqing nodded, looked at him and said, "Would you like to take a rest first, Prince? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare lunch."

Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a deeper look in his eyes.

This woman not only cares about him, but is also so considerate?

He felt a little warm in his heart, looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Okay."

Seeing Lu Shengyuan agreed, Lin Wanqing turned to look at Pei'er and said, "Pei'er, go to the kitchen and ask Madam to prepare dinner."

Pearl nodded: "Yes, Miss."

As she spoke, she turned and walked out of the front hall.

Looking at Pei'er's leaving back, Lu Shengyuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Wanqing.

"What did you do in the mansion today?" He looked at Lin Wanqing and asked.

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "I didn't do anything today. I just familiarized myself with the environment of the Prince's Mansion and the servants there."

Lu Shengyuan nodded: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Butler Li."

"it is good."

Lin Wanqing nodded, looked at Lu Shengyuan, and said, "I have already met with Butler Li today, and he also told me a lot about the Prince's Mansion."

"Yes." Lu Shengyuan nodded, looking at her with a look of satisfaction. "Butler Li is an old man in the mansion. He knows a lot about the affairs of the mansion. I can feel more at ease with him helping you."

Hearing his words, Lin Wanqing's heart moved slightly.

She looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan looked at her deeply and said, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned and looked at Lu Shengyuan with a bit of surprise.

What does he mean by this?

Does that mean you treat her as one of your own?

Thinking of this possibility, her heart warmed slightly, and she looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "Yes, Prince."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Just then, a servant came in hurriedly from outside.

"Prince, someone has come from the palace and said that the emperor has summoned you."

Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly when he heard this. He looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "I have something to do and need to go to the palace. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

Lin Wanqing nodded: "Yes, Prince."

As she spoke, she personally escorted Lu Shengyuan out of the Prince's Mansion.

After watching his back disappear around the corner, she turned around and went back home.

When they arrived at the palace, the emperor laughed and asked Lu Shengyuan how he was doing.

"I'm fine now. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Lu Shengyuan looked at the emperor and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has summoned me to the palace because of something you want me to do?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at Lu Shengyuan with some admiration.

"I heard that you have a new beautiful lady in your house?" He looked at Lu Shengyuan and said with a smile on his face, "You are so lucky, boy."

When Lu Shengyuan heard the emperor mention Lin Wanqing, his heart moved slightly.

He looked at the emperor and said, "Yes, there is indeed a new lady in my house."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at him. "I also heard that this lady is not only beautiful, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a rare talent."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan looked at the emperor with a bit of surprise.

He didn't expect that the emperor even knew all this.

However, he did not deny it. He looked at the emperor and said, "Yes, my wife is indeed a woman of both talent and beauty."

Hearing his words, the emperor laughed heartily: "You are so lucky, my boy, to marry such a good wife."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "I summoned you to the palace today for no other reason than to meet this legendary talented woman and see if she is as talented and beautiful as the rumors say."

Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

The emperor wants to see Lin Wanqing?

He was moved and looked at the emperor and said, "Yes, I will go back to the palace and bring my wife to the palace to see the emperor."

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't worry. I called you here today to see how you are doing."

"If you have nothing to do, play a couple of games of chess with me. When I am free, I will personally visit you at your residence."

Lu Shengyuan was shocked. The emperor actually wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion in person. It was such a great honor.

He suppressed his excitement and bowed in response, "Yes, I obey your command."

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at Lu Shengyuan with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Okay, then I'll play two games with you today to see if my chess skills have deteriorated."

He said, turning around and sitting down beside the chessboard.

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan hurried forward and sat down opposite the emperor.

The two of them exchanged moves, and soon a fierce battle broke out on the chessboard.
