"Yes, Your Highness and Princess will definitely keep the Emperor's teachings in mind." Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing said in unison.

"Okay, then I'll return to the palace to report." Eunuch Li said, "Your Majesty, Princess, take care."

"Goodbye, eunuch." Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing saw Eunuch Li out the door.

Looking at Eunuch Li's receding back, Lin Wanqing felt deeply moved.

She went through so many hardships and obstacles to reach her current position from an unpopular princess.

Fortunately, she has Lu Shengyuan's company and support, which has enabled her to get to where she is today.

Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan beside her, her heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," she said softly.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her with eyes full of doting.

"Princess, why thank you?" He said softly, "You are my wife, and I will naturally protect you."

Lin Wanqing snuggled in Lu Shengyuan's arms, a happy smile on her face.

She knew that she had chosen the right person, Lu Shengyuan was a man worthy of entrusting her life to.

The two smiled at each other and returned to their room.

On the other hand, Lu Ming was not so happy.

Su Qiaoer looked at him, feeling unwilling.

She originally thought that Lu Shengyuan was dead, but she didn't expect that he was still alive. What made her even more angry was that Lin Wanqing was also conferred the title of a first-rank lady.

"Husband, your father is really partial." Su Qiao'er couldn't help but complain, "He asked for an imperial decree for Lin Wanqing, but why didn't he find you a position?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming's face turned even uglier.

He also knew in his heart that his father had completely given up on him.

"Okay, stop talking." He said irritably, "Let's just think about how to live a good life now."

Su Qiaoer looked at him and sneered in her heart.

She didn't want to live such a dull life, she had to find a way to make Lu Ming regain his father's favor.

The two of them fell silent, each with their own thoughts.

The room fell into silence, with only the sound of each other's breathing.

"I don't know how Wan'er is doing in the Wei family. I hope she isn't being bullied." Lin Wanqing said with some concern.

"You're worrying too much, Princess. How could the Wei family bully a weak woman?" Lu Shengyuan said with a smile. "Besides, Wei Chen is a responsible man. He will treat Wan'er well."

"I hope so." Lin Wanqing sighed.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, feeling a little reluctant.

"Princess, don't think too much." He comforted her, "We can go see her in a couple of days, right?"

"Yeah." Lin Wanqing nodded.

Just then, a servant came to report that Wei Chen and Lin Wan'er had come to visit the mansion.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Please invite them in," she said quickly.

After a while, Wei Chen and Lin Wan'er walked in.

They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had happy smiles on their faces.

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Princess." The two bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat." Lin Wanqing said with a smile.

She looked at Lin Wan'er and found that her complexion was much better than before. It seemed that she was living well in the Wei family.

"Master Wei, treat Wan'er well." Lin Wanqing looked at Wei Chen and said earnestly, "She is my cousin. I don't want her to suffer any injustice."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely treat Wan'er well." Wei Chen said quickly.

"Yes, sister, Wei Lang is very good to me." Lin Wan'er also said with a smile.

"That's good." Lin Wanqing nodded.

Lu Shengyuan, who was watching this scene, felt a little emotional.

Lin Wanqing has been very worried about Lin Wan'er recently.

Now that she sees that she is doing well, she should feel relieved.

"Princess, you and Wan'er should go for a walk in the garden." Lu Shengyuan suddenly said, "Wei Chen and I have something to discuss."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing glanced at him and instantly understood what he meant.

"Okay." She nodded and took Lin Wan'er's hand, "Wan'er, accompany me to walk in the garden."

"Okay, sister." Lin Wan'er responded with a smile.

The two got up and left, going to the garden.

Looking at their backs as they left, Lu Shengyuan put away the smile on his face and his expression became serious.

"Wei Chen, I have something to tell you." He spoke slowly.

Wei Chen also restrained his smile and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please speak."

"This prince knows that you have always been a smart and ambitious person," Lu Shengyuan said. "This prince admires you very much and believes that you can bring happiness to Wan'er."

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment." Wei Chen said modestly.

"However, I must warn you." Lu Shengyuan said sternly, "If you dare to treat Wan'er badly, I will never let you off easily."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am sincere to Wan'er." Wei Chen said hurriedly, "I will definitely treat her well and will not let her suffer any grievances."

Lu Shengyuan looked at him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"I know you're a responsible person," he said slowly. "I'm just curious why you're willing to be a son-in-law."

Wei Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

He was silent for a while before he spoke: "Your Highness, you may not know that although my Wei family is not a famous family, we will not easily accept a son-in-law."

"It's just that my father's business failed and he owed a huge debt. My Wei family is simply unable to repay it."

"The Lin family offered to repay our debt, but they required me to marry into their family."

"My parents are old, and I really can't bear to see them worry about me anymore, so I had no choice but to agree."

"So that's how it is." Lu Shengyuan nodded, "I understand your difficulties."

"However, I want to tell you that I will not look down on you just because you are a son-in-law." He looked stern and serious. "What I value is your ability and character."

"I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be able to make a name for yourself."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness." Wei Chen said gratefully, "I will definitely work harder and live up to Your Highness's expectations."

"Okay, let's get back to business," Lu Shengyuan said. "I called you here to discuss something important."

"Your Highness, please speak." Wei Chen said respectfully.

In the garden, Lin Wanqing and Lin Wan'er were walking and chatting, looking very happy.

"Seeing you like this, I feel relieved." Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "Wei Chen is a person worthy of trust. You must cherish him well."

"I understand, sister." Lin Wan'er nodded shyly, "I will treat him well."

"That's good." Lin Wanqing nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them were chatting happily and didn't notice the servants not far away.

"Oh, do you know? Young Master Wei is the top scholar in the imperial examination! He is actually willing to be the son-in-law of the Lin family. I really can't understand it!" A servant sighed.

"Yes, yes! He is so handsome and talented," another servant echoed.
