Lin Yunxi showed no expression as she brought Tianer and Tiansan to Fenghualou Tea House.

The guard who had just been waiting on the first floor saw her coming and took her directly to a large private room on the second floor.

Lin Yunxi walked in, taking Tianer Tiansan with her to prevent the Second Highness from doing anything bad to her.

The private room was opened, and a screen blocked the view inside. The person inside could only be heard saying:

"Miss Lin is here? Come in and sit down."

Lin Yunxi walked inside, walked around the screen, and saw the second prince Murong Chen sitting at a table drinking tea.

Tianer and Tiansan stood behind Lin Yunxi knowingly. Tiansan pulled a stool for her and motioned for her to sit down.

Lin Yunxi got straight to the point:

"Your Highness, why are you inviting me to such an elegant place for tea?"

Murong Chen looked at the two people behind her and then at her. Lin Yunxi knew what he meant and continued:

"Your Highness, just rest assured, they are my confidants."

"Okay, I'll tell you now."

"Ah."

"Yesterday, the King of Japan came to your Dongxia Chamber of Commerce and found that Miss Lin is a business wizard. I want to recruit Miss Lin to work for me. Many of my businesses need someone to take care of it. I have always wanted to find someone with extraordinary abilities. I saw Miss Lin's shop yesterday, and I feel that Miss Lin is the person I'm looking for. Let's put it bluntly, I'm attracted to Miss Lin's business acumen. As long as you promise me, the money will be easy to negotiate."

Lin Yunxi thought it was something. It turned out that he was interested in her talent. She just heard her say slowly:

"Thank you, Your Highness. The girl is just a small businessman, and she is not a business wizard as the Second Highness said. I just want to make a living in the capital city. The most important thing is that I like freedom and don't like to be restrained. I am even less willing to participate in the disputes over various royal matters.”

"Could it be that Miss Lin has a higher goal?" Murong Chen kept staring at her and asked.

Lin Yunxi was puzzled. She made it clear that she was just making a living, so how could she have a higher goal? She wondered:

"What is the higher goal that His Highness is talking about?"

Just listen to Murong Chen slowly say:

"Or do you want to be a royal woman?"

After hearing what he said, Lin Yunxi pretended to be panicked and said:

"What are you saying, Your Highness? I am just a small commoner. How can I climb up to the royal family? You are the moon in the sky and I am the dust in the soil. Our identities are very different. I still have this self-awareness. Your Highness’s words really offend this girl.”

"If you want, I can give you a title. With your face, you can be my concubine."

Lin Yunxi scolded Murong Chen from below, "Concubine Ji, you are so big, you don't urinate and look after yourself. If I, the eighth princess, don't do it, I will be your concubine, so go to hell."

I saw her calmly saying:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love. This girl has made a decision for herself. In this life, she will only marry a man who promises me the title of my wife. I will not be a concubine. If Your Highness has nothing else to say, the daughter of the people will resign first."

"Are you rejecting both benefits from me?"

"I heard that His Highness is kind-hearted and loves the people. When I saw him today, it is indeed as the rumors said. His Highness's reputation is indeed very good in Dongsheng Kingdom."

Murong Chen wanted to say something else, but was stopped by her words. He is the one who wants reputation. This woman is really smart. She dares to talk about his reputation. He can't deal with this woman today. He has a long way to go. He is not in a hurry. .

Murong Chen said slowly:

"Okay, I have nothing to do with you. Miss Lin can think about what I said today when you go back. You must know that many women in the capital want to..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Yunxi lost his patience and stood up:

"Daughter of the people, please retire first."

Today was really unlucky. Murong Hao had the guts to attend some kind of reunion banquet and met a god of plague. Lin Yunxi was in a bad mood today and had the urge to kill someone.

Without saying a word, she took Tianer and Tiansan back to her shop, went upstairs, and sat in her office in a daze.

The news that Murong Chen was looking for Lin Yunxi soon reached Murong Hao.

Murong Hao looked at the note in his hand and smiled slightly. His girl did not disappoint him. She could handle these things even if he was not around her, which reassured him.

At noon, Concubine Rong's Changchun Palace was a bustling scene. The garden was filled with all kinds of flowers in full bloom, and the servants were still nervously making final preparations for the banquet.

At this time, Murong Hao and Concubine Rong were sitting in the main hall of Changchun Palace, drinking tea.

Only Concubine Rong said softly:

"Hao'er, I really didn't expect you to come here so early today. Is there any girl you like who comes into the palace today?"

"I don't have a girl I like. Didn't my mother always say that I won't come to accompany you? Didn't I come earlier to accompany my concubine today?"

"As a filial piety, you have to take a closer look at this viewing banquet. Today, all the women here are carefully selected by my mother and concubine for you. They are all of first-class family background and appearance."

"Okay, but don't forget to give your son twenty thousand taels of gold as a birthday gift."

"I know, Hao'er is so cooperative today, it's only twenty thousand taels of gold. If you choose a princess today, the mother-in-law will reward you even more. Why don't you choose the concubines together to avoid having to choose again in the future."

Murong Hao said helplessly:

"Concubine, let's take a look first and then talk. Maybe you won't like any of them."

"How is it possible? These women are all the best in the capital. You must choose carefully for me today."

"talk later."

While the two were chatting, the steward outside came forward and said:

"Go back to your Majesty, the ladies from all the families outside have already taken their seats. They are just waiting for Your Majesty and His Highness the Eighth Prince."

Concubine Rong said:

"Hao'er, let's go then."

Murong Hao supported Concubine Rong and came to the large garden of Changchun Palace.

A father-in-law’s voice sounded:

"Concubine Rong, His Highness the Eighth Prince is here."

The ladies below all stood up and saluted:

"Concubine Rong, concubine Rong, and His Highness the Eighth Prince!"

Just listen to Concubine Rong saying loudly:

"Everyone is free of charge. Today is His Highness the Eighth Prince's birthday banquet. Ladies, please take good care of yourselves. I have prepared lunch for you. You can use it as you wish. No need to be formal. I am calling you to come today. Everyone sitting here should understand what it means. If you have talents to perform, please start lining up from here."

Concubine Rong pointed to a place under the stage and signaled to start from here.

The people below stood up and sat in their seats. Many noble ladies secretly glanced at His Highness the Eighth Prince who was sitting at the top.

Sure enough, just as the rumors say, His Highness the Eighth Prince is as tall as a tree, handsome and dashing, and carries the majesty of the royal family in every move he makes.

The ladies below are all ready to make a move, and today they have to use all their skills to get His Highness the Eighth Prince's attention.

The talent show began, and the first person to appear was the daughter of Wang Yunzhi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. Her talent was painting. She wanted to paint for herself on the spot and give it to His Highness, so that His Highness could remember her beauty.

The servants brought brushes, drawing paper and bronze mirrors and placed them beside her.

She began to paint, and the musicians next to her kept playing music in harmony.

Murong Hao, who was at the top, picked up the pastry beside him without even looking down. He only heard him curiously say:

"Mother, do you have many pastries?"

Concubine Rong was curious, isn't now the time to watch someone perform? Her son came to ask about cakes?

"Hao'er likes this pastry. I will send it to your house as soon as my mother-in-law orders it. Now let's watch the show. The paintings of the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance are famous all over the capital. I heard that one of her paintings can be sold. It’s a lot of money.”

"Mother, you don't need to send this pastry to my palace at once, just pack it for me."

When Murong Hao suddenly said this, her old mother's heart fell to the bottom, and she whispered:

"My mother asked you to watch the performance. Why do you care about this pastry?"

"My son likes this pastry and wants to eat it again when I go back tonight."

Concubine Rong suddenly discovered today that the son beside her did not look like her Hao'er. He had not liked eating these sweet pastries since he was a child. What happened today?
