100 ways to trick a boy into going to sleep

Chapter 799 Begonia Spring

The wheels rattled rhythmically, and the wooden frame creaked from time to time.

The four eaves with upturned corners are exquisitely carved, and Buddhist texts written on them are vividly displayed.

Zhou, a bell hangs there, tinkling.

The two brothers sat facing each other, chatting idly.

When Li Yin entered the city, he was high-profile, and the young man on horseback was majestic, yet he attracted the hearts of countless unmarried women. However, when Li Jie entered the city, he was extremely low-key, and very few people knew that he was the King of Qi.

Now, the carriage is swaying precariously adorned with the python pattern of the Crown Prince's residence.

Women passing by threw flowers and embroidered handkerchiefs at the horse. Li Jie happened to lift the curtain and observed this, and was moved.

The current atmosphere is indeed different from before.

In the past, how could a woman behave so unreservedly?

"My elder brother is quite handsome and is very popular."

Upon hearing this, Li Yin showed no arrogance whatsoever, but spoke calmly and indifferently.

"The people can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it. Their enthusiasm is only because you and I are both descendants of the Li Tang dynasty, and now they value the Youzhou region and protect the people. For men, appearance is just an embellishment, not the most important thing. Such external matters need not be taken too seriously."

“What you say is absolutely right, brother.”

Li Jie lowered the curtain and stopped looking outside.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "When I encounter Lady Shen, how should I address her?"

Li Yin was stumped by this question. Although she lived in the mansion and he had expressed his feelings to her, they were not yet married. It would be inappropriate for Sanhu to call her brother and sister-in-law, but calling her Madam Shen would feel too distant.

“You are older than Huan’er, so why not treat her as an elder and call her ‘elder sister’?”

"Here."

The carriage stopped at the mansion.

The gatekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

The nobleman dismounted by stepping on the high footstools.

A faint, elegant fragrance wafts in the air.

......

"My lady, my lady, the master invites you to dine in the main hall."

The servant hurriedly came to deliver the message.

"In front of the hall? Are there any distinguished guests at your residence today?"

Jin Huan leaned against the chaise longue, lazily watching the servants busy outside the window. They had been planting trees in the courtyard all day. The steward was quite capable; he found two gnarled ancient trees in just half a day and it took him a lot of effort to bring them over.

It can be considered a financial loss.

Wen Xue fanned her in rhythm, while Wen Yue placed her behind her, gently massaging her shoulders with her soft, delicate hands, thoroughly enjoying herself.

"It is His Highness Prince Qi who has come to visit."

After the servant answered, she didn't react much.

It's as if they weren't royalty or nobility, but just some insignificant nobody.

"My lady."

The servant looked at his master with a troubled expression.

The master of the mansion is, in fact, the Crown Prince. The lady should try to win the master's favor and give birth to a child as soon as possible so that her position in the inner quarters can be secure. However, the lady is too gentle and does not flatter the emperor. How can she maintain the emperor's favor?

Jin Huan turned her head and gave the man a meaningful look. She then waved him away in a calm tone.

Although he didn't say much, the first-class maids and servants serving in the room were all shrewd and immediately understood their master's meaning.

This person will likely find it difficult to enter the main room again in the future.

None of the servants in the room spoke, yet a mere servant from the outer gate dared to question his master; he was truly audacious.

......

Li Yin looked out of the courtyard several times, but no one appeared.

Judging by the time, the meal should be ready by now. He frowned and was about to send someone to check what was going on when he saw Huan'er's head maid rushing over.

"This servant greets Master."

Why didn't your wife come?

"You are Miss Haitang's maid!"

The two brothers spoke at the same time, and then their eyes met, both filled with fear in silence!
