After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Regardless of whether the two were being sincere or fake, Xiao Chenyu was very satisfied with the answer.

"As expected of my sons, you care about the people, and I am very pleased. You and your wife have done so much for the people this time, and I cannot treat you unfairly. Since you do not want my reward, I will agree to one of your requests. Just ask for whatever you want."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The emperor would not make a promise easily, but this time the emperor gave the Prince and his wife this privilege, which is a unique honor.

Everyone present was envious; the emperor's promise was more valuable than any reward.

Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao did not expect to have such an unexpected gain. After all, such a good opportunity is hard to come by.

Lin Qingyao thought for a moment. She really didn't need anything at the moment. After all, everything was going smoothly.

My father’s promise is so precious that we cannot waste it.

Lin Qingyao showed an embarrassment, "Father, this... this happened suddenly, and I can't think of anything I want at the moment."

Xiao Chenyu smiled when he heard this, "Hahaha, look how embarrassed you are. It doesn't matter, my words are golden, and I won't break them. This promise of mine has no time limit. If you and your wife want something, you can come to me at any time, and I will fulfill it for you."

Xiao Chenyu's words surprised everyone present again. There was not even a deadline, and such a good thing could happen.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the Prince and Princess Chen had a very special status in the emperor's mind, and he actually gave them unprecedented rewards.

The couple were delighted to hear this and hurried to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, father, for your grace."

Xiao Chenyu smiled and said, "Okay, no need to be polite, get up quickly."

Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao stole the limelight at the banquet today, and Xiao Jingyi was naturally dissatisfied.

In Xiao Jingyi's opinion, he and his wife were just lucky and had hit the jackpot by accident. There was nothing to be proud of.

What's more, they were using his money, which was clearly a waste of other people's money.

But his father attributed all the credit to the two of them. How could he swallow this?

Although Xiao Jingyi had long known that his father had always favored these two legitimate sons, he did not expect it to be so obvious this time.

The more Xiao Chenyu acted like this, the more unconvinced Xiao Jingyi became. In his opinion, he was obviously better than Xiao Jinghui and Xiao Jingxuan in every way, but his father simply couldn't see it.

The two of them can get everything they have now just because they have a good mother. It’s not a big deal.

After what happened today, Xiao Jingyi became even more ambitious, and he was determined to trample these two legitimate sons under his feet.

Tang Yingqian, who was standing by, looked at Xiao Jingyi's gradually darkening face and asked with concern: "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, the banquet was over, and Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao were surrounded by the crowd again, and everyone was scrambling to get close to them.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jingyi became even more furious. If he was not in the hall at this moment, Xiao Jingyi would not be able to suppress his anger.

Xiao Jingyi tried his best to calm himself. After all, this was the imperial palace and there might be spies everywhere. He couldn't be caught.

Xiao Jingyi knew that Tang Yingqian was really worried about him, so he patted her hand.

"I am fine, Princess. It is getting late. Let's go back to the palace first."

Tang Yingqian could clearly see that Xiao Jingyi didn't look like he was fine, and she knew very well that Xiao Jingyi's reaction must be related to Prince Chen and his wife.

But Tang Yingqian knew Xiao Jingyi's personality very well. If he didn't want to say it, then he couldn't mention it, otherwise it would only backfire.

So Tang Yingqian didn't say much and replied softly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Before leaving, Tang Yingqian looked back at Lin Qingyao. She originally wanted to talk to Lin Qingyao about Lin Qingrou, but it seemed that there was no chance today.

With the end of this natural disaster, Lin Qingrou's injuries have almost healed, and she has now been working in Tang Yingqian's yard for more than a month.

All of Tang Yingqian's maids knew about the grudge between the two. Now that Lin Qingrou had fallen to the lowest level of a cleaning maid, they would naturally seize this opportunity to vent their anger on behalf of their master.

Tang Yingqian sent two maids with the worst tempers to watch over Lin Qingrou while she worked. If Lin Qingrou did anything that was not to her satisfaction, she would be beaten.

Lin Qingrou originally had difficulty walking, so she couldn't keep up with the movements, and therefore she didn't know how many times she was beaten.

The maids who worked with her also ganged up on her to bully her. Lin Qingrou couldn't even sleep in a bed now. She could only curl up in a corner every night and she didn't even know how she fell asleep.

Tang Yingqian and Ji Weiwei would call her over from time to time to humiliate her for their own amusement.

For more than a month, Lin Qingrou has not had enough to eat or warm clothes, and has been treated inhumanely every day. She has lost a lot of weight and her face is even more haggard than when she was recuperating.

It’s a pity that Lin Qingyao has been very busy these days and has been unable to go out due to the weather, so she has not been able to see Lin Qingrou’s miserable condition with her own eyes.

That's why Tang Yingqian thought of talking to Lin Qingyao in person today to make her happy.

Although Lin Qingyao was surrounded by many people, she originally wanted to say a few words to Tang Yingqian, so she kept looking in Tang Yingqian's direction out of the corner of her eye.

Lin Qingyao saw the meaningful look Tang Yingqian gave her before she left, and she also knew that under the current circumstances she would not be able to talk to Tang Yingqian today.

But it doesn’t matter. She will be free after today’s banquet and can go directly to Prince Kang’s Mansion.

Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao were both tired of dealing with these people. After exchanging some pleasantries with each other, they found an excuse to leave.

The two of them finally got out and happened to meet Wu Anhou and his wife and Li Zhehao who had not left yet.

"Uncle, aunt, Hao'er."

"Greetings to Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

Hearing the two addressing each other, Lin Qingyao said helplessly: "Uncle, aunt, why are you being so polite? It's too distant for you to call me Yao'er like this."

Jamel Xiao agreed, “Yes, uncle and aunt, there’s no need to be polite. We are a family, and it’s the same now as it was before.”

The two smiled and nodded when they heard this.

Lin Qingyao exchanged pleasantries with the two of them for a while. As soon as she saw Li Zhehao, she remembered what Xiao Qingning had just said. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to speak out.

"Uncle, aunt, please get in the car first. We will talk to Hao'er alone for a few words."

Although Lin Qingyao and Li Zhehao are cousins, they have always had a good relationship. Wu'an Hou and his wife were used to it, so they nodded and turned to get on the carriage.

There were only three of them left at the moment, and Li Zhehao hurriedly stepped forward with a smile.

"Cousin, cousin-in-law."

Jamel Xiao smiled and nodded, and replied, “Cousin Zhehao.”
