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

Lu Shengyuan has always been an excellent chess player, but at the moment he was absent-minded and thought of Lin Wanqing from time to time.

He didn't know what she was doing in the mansion. He left in a hurry today and hadn't had a good talk with her yet.

Thinking of this, Lu Shengyuan lost his focus and made a wrong move.

"Hahaha, Shengyuan, you lost!" said the emperor happily.

Lu Shengyuan came back to his senses, looked at the situation on the chessboard, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty is a master of chess. I am willing to admit defeat."

The emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this: "What do you mean by superb chess skills? I think you are just absent-minded!"

When the emperor revealed his secrets, Lu Shengyuan did not deny it. He just smiled and said nothing.

"Alright, you kid, don't accompany an old man like me anymore. Leave the palace now." The emperor waved his hand and said, "I will visit you in two days. You must be well prepared by then."

Lu Shengyuan was delighted when he heard this and quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, I obey your command."

As he spoke, he turned and left the imperial study.

The emperor looked at his departing back, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of deep thought.

"Lu Shengyuan..." He muttered the name in a low voice, his eyes deep, "I hope you won't let me down."

After leaving the palace, Lu Shengyuan did not stay for long and went straight back to the Prince's Mansion.

"Where is the lady?" he asked the servant who came to greet him.

Upon hearing this, the servant quickly replied, "The lady is in the garden."

Lu Shengyuan nodded and turned to go to the garden.

He saw the beautiful figure from a distance.

Lin Wanqing was standing among the flowers, lowering her head to sniff the fragrance with a faint smile on her face.

The sunlight shone on her, as if covering her with a golden halo, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

Lu Shengyuan looked at this scene, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He stepped forward and spoke softly, "Madam."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing turned around and saw Lu Shengyuan, a smile appeared on his face: "Prince, you are back."

Lu Shengyuan nodded: "Yes, I'm back."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Today in the palace, the emperor mentioned you."

Lin Wanqing was startled when she heard this. She looked at Lu Shengyuan and asked, "The Emperor... mentioned me?"

"Yes." Lu Shengyuan looked at her, "The emperor heard about you and wants to meet you."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing was even more shocked.

The emperor actually wants to see her?

"Then... when can I go to the palace to see the emperor?" She looked at Lu Shengyuan and asked.

"Don't worry." Lu Shengyuan looked at her, "The emperor will come to visit the Prince's Mansion in the next two days, and you will be able to see him then."

Lin Wanqing nodded: "Okay, I understand."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "By the way, Prince, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a hint of curiosity on his face.

Lin Wanqing looked at him and said, "I want to open a store in the city."

Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan showed a bit of surprise on his face.

He looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "You want to open a shop?"

"Yeah." Lin Wanqing nodded. "I have nothing to do in the mansion, so I thought of opening a shop. It would be a good way to kill time and earn some pocket money."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her with some admiration in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Lin Wanqing actually had such ambitions.

"What kind of store do you want to open?" he asked Lin Wanqing.

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Lin Wanqing shook his head, "But I want to look around first and understand the situation in the city before making a decision."

Lu Shengyuan nodded when he heard this: "Okay, then when do you plan to go out and take a look?"

"Tomorrow," Lin Wanqing said after thinking for a moment, "The weather is nice tomorrow, I'll go out early and go for a walk."

"Well, I'll go with you tomorrow." Lu Shengyuan looked at her and said.

Lin Wanqing felt warm at heart when she heard this. She looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "Thank you, Prince."

Lu Shengyuan shook his head: "There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

He paused and added, "If there's anything in the future, just tell me."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The next day, the weather was indeed sunny.

Lu Shengyuan accompanied Lin Wanqing out of the Prince's Mansion and strolled around the city.

"Madam, have you decided what kind of store you want to open?" Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing and asked.

Lin Wanqing shook her head: "Not yet, I want to look around before making a decision."

Lu Shengyuan nodded without saying anything, just accompanied her around.

The two of them were walking along the road, and when they passed a teahouse, Lin Wanqing suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shengyuan looked at her and asked.

"I'm a little thirsty. Let's go in and have a cup of tea." Lin Wanqing looked at him and said.

Lu Shengyuan nodded upon hearing this: "Okay."

As they talked, they walked into the teahouse.

There were not many people in the teahouse at this time, so the two of them found a seat by the window.

"Madam, what would you like to drink?" Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing and asked.

"Bring me a pot of jasmine tea." Lin Wanqing thought for a moment and spoke.

Lu Shengyuan nodded, called the waiter, and ordered a pot of jasmine tea and some snacks.

The tea arrived quickly. Lin Wanqing poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and stared at the street outside the window in a daze.

Lu Shengyuan didn't disturb her, but just sat with her quietly.

After a while, Lin Wanqing suddenly said, "Prince, what do you think about opening a teahouse?"

Lu Shengyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he said, "Teahouse? That's not bad, but there are many teahouses in the city. If you want to open a teahouse, it must have some unique features."

Lin Wanqing nodded: "Yes, I think so too. If you open a teahouse, you have to have something unique to attract customers."

"What do you think?" Lu Shengyuan looked at her and asked.

Lin Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "We can find some special teas from various places, so that guests can appreciate the local customs while tasting tea."

Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan smiled appreciatively: "That's a good idea. We can give it a try."

"Then let's get started once I find a store."

Lin Wanqing looked at him with a hint of anticipation on her face.

"Okay." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "I'll keep an eye out for you to see if there are any suitable shops."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt grateful: "Thank you, Prince."

"There's no need to thank me between you and me." Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a bit of tenderness on his face.

The two of them talked and sat for a while, then got up and left the teahouse.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing began to look for a suitable store, and Lu Shengyuan accompanied her everywhere.

After several days of searching, Lin Wanqing finally found a suitable store.

"Prince, what do you think of this shop?" she asked Lu Shengyuan.

Lu Shengyuan looked at the shop in front of him and nodded: "The location is good and the size is moderate. It's quite suitable."
