Lin Gao felt a slight sinking in his heart when he heard Lin Wanwan's refusal.

He frowned, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he directly tested her and said:

"Don't be modest. Princess An Ning is a very talented person. What do you think of the affairs of the court?"

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and then shook her head: "This princess is no longer the Minister of Works, how dare I discuss state affairs."

Lin Gao's eyes darkened: "Or has Princess An Ning already joined another camp?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly, shook her head gently, and said:

"Third Prince, you are overthinking this, right? This princess is not favored, so how can I help the Third Prince?

I just want to live my own carefree life now, and don't want to get involved in the court disputes. If there are more male favorites, it means that I am favored by His Majesty? Then it seems..."

Lin Gao looked at Lin Wanwan's determined eyes and became more and more confused.

He wondered to himself, did Gu Jiazhuo mishear what he said? Did Lin Wanwan really have no intention of standing on his side?

Lin Gao frowned and asked, "What do you see?"

"It seems that these handsome men can't stay any longer. Alas, but among these beauties, I really like Miss Gu."

Lin Wanwan looked tired and said to Fen Tao, "Go, go find those beauties."

Ah Si was originally helping Su Ye move things when he saw eight men hurriedly coming out from the backyard. He was stunned. He hurriedly pulled Su Ye, who was counting the belongings with Nanny Li.

"Sir! Look at that! This is bad! Look at how many handsome men the princess has, seventy, eighty, ninety of them! Now, they are all in the hall!"

When Su Ye heard this, he threw the account book aside and ran straight to the hall.

Ah Si also put his things down and hurriedly followed.

Nanny Li: ??? Eh?

Su Ye came to the hall and was shocked: Wow! How come the princess has so many male favorites! I want to take a good look at what kind of girls they are!

Ah Si looked at Su Ye's worried face and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why do you look like a resentful woman who has been abandoned?"

Su Ye gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Get out of the way, I don't have time to beat you up."

Su Ye and Ah Si stood outside and watched secretly.

Lin Wanwan had a gentle smile on her face. She looked at Gu Jiazhuo intimately and waved. She said:

"Third Prince, once I see Lady Gu, I will no longer be in the mood to talk to you about this."

Lin Gao frowned, feeling like he was being teased: "An Ning, do you like this person?"

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "I like it."

Lin Gao stood up abruptly and his eyes fell on Gu Jiazhuo.

Suddenly, he grabbed Gu Jiazhuo's hand and pulled up his sleeve, and suddenly saw the toad blood on Gu Jiazhuo's elbow.

Lin Gao asked in a cold voice: "Since you dote on this beauty, why does he still have the chastity seal?"

Lin Wanwan raised a smile and said slowly:

"Third Prince, this is my favorite. There are many ways to play without losing your virginity."

As she spoke, Lin Wanwan stood up and walked to Gu Jiazhuo, gently stroking his chest.

Su Ye looked at the door with a dark face.

Gu Jiazhuo's face turned red in an instant. He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look into Lin Gao's eyes.

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Why? The Third Prince doesn't believe it?"

Lin Wanwan sat upright in the main seat, looking proud and with a hint of determination in her eyes.

In front of her, kneeling were eight male favorites granted by the emperor.

Shan Yingcheng and Song Tingchu looked at the third prince Lin Gao standing aside, and their minds were filled with thoughts.

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "This princess has received news that some of you are urinating while standing."

Then, Lin Wanwan casually pointed at the six ordinary-looking male favorites at the back and said, "Fentao, send the other six out of the house."

The six male favorites, with fear on their faces and tears in their eyes, begged bitterly:

"My Lord, please don't chase us away!

"My Lady, I have always served you wholeheartedly.

"Princess, I didn't pee while standing." One of them said in a trembling voice.

Su Ye felt happy instantly after hearing these words.

However, facing the male favorites' pleas, Lin Wanwan remained unmoved. She raised her chin slightly and said in a cold voice:

"This princess has said that you are breaking the rules by not sitting down to relieve yourself. You must leave the house."

Ah Si, who was outside the door, heard the reasons why those people were expelled from the mansion and could not help but whisper:

"Sir... Young Master... There is a rule in this Princess's Mansion that you have to sit down to urinate."

Su Ye turned his head and looked at him, then knocked his folding fan on his head and said in a low voice: "Too much! Too much!"

Ah Si nodded: "I also think that the princess's rule..."

Su Ye held his chin and looked at the male favorites inside:

"Ah Si, are they peeing in a spray? Is that too much? The princess doesn't even allow them to pee standing up, isn't that crazy?"

Ah Si was stunned: "Uh..."

In the hall, Lin Gao shook his sleeves, unable to stay any longer, and stood up and said, "This prince has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin Gao just thought it was a farce. How could there be such rules in someone's house? He didn't want to accompany Lin Wanwan to watch the whole show.

His heart was filled with anger and confusion. What news had Gu Jiazhuo spread a few days ago?

At this time, Song Tingchu was kneeling in the front row, quietly looking at the direction where Lin Gao left.

Song Tingchu frowned slightly, thinking about the deeper meaning of the princess's action, and even more about the relationship between the princess and the third prince Lin Gao.

Lin Wanwan looked at everyone generously at this time, suddenly raised her voice and said:

"Today, this princess had a very pleasant conversation with the Third Prince, and I am in a very good mood today."

Her words echoed in the hall, shocking everyone present, and they all continued to listen to Lin Wanwan quietly.

Lin Wanwan whispered to Fentao, "Fentao, quickly calculate how much the ladies earned from buying paintings."

"Yes." Fen Tao responded respectfully, then bowed slightly and reported to Lin Wanwan:

"Mr. Gu has eighty-five paintings, Mr. Wu has sixty paintings, Mr. Song has forty-nine paintings, and Mr. Shan has one hundred and twenty paintings. A total of three hundred and fourteen paintings.

Each painting was paid 200 taels of silver, a total of 62,800 taels. After deducting part of the painter's fee, the total income was 60,000 taels."

Lin Wanwan glanced at Fen Tao with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and then smiled faintly and faced the crowd again:

“During this princess’ previous trip to Pingyang City, everyone in the mansion took good care of the county master, so they should all be rewarded.

"Today is a happy day. Everyone in the Princess's Mansion will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. Each of you male favorites who are being dismissed from the mansion will be given 1,000 taels of silver. Go out and live your own lives."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

After a brief silence, the male favorites and the servants looked at each other, with surprise gradually showing in their eyes.

Some of the quick-witted ones knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"

Soon after, others also knelt down.

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"

For a moment, everyone knelt in the princess's mansion, and their voices rose and fell, full of gratitude and excitement.

Lin Wanwan looked at the servants' reactions, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she raised her hand slightly, motioned for everyone to stand up, and said in a calm voice:

"Everyone, get up."

The servants stood up, their eyes full of respect and loyalty.

Song Tingchu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the princess giving money away so generously. The princess didn't have much money to begin with, yet she was giving away so much. It seemed like she had indeed agreed on something with the third prince.

After Lin Gao left, Lin Wanwan looked at Gu Jiazhuo and said with a smile: "Lady Gu, I had a very happy conversation with the Third Prince."

Gu Jiazhuo was full of doubts. She pulled Lin Wanwan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Princess, the Third Prince seems very angry. Will he..."

Lin Wanwan interrupted Gu Jiazhuo and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, Lady Gu... The Third Prince, maybe he left for something urgent."

Su Ye looked at the intimate actions of Lin Wanwan and Gu Jiazhuo and couldn't help it, so he walked in angrily.

He sat on the chair behind Lin Wanwan with a bright face again, put his arms around her waist, pushed her towards him, and hugged Lin Wanwan, his eyes full of doting.

Su Ye also said in a coquettish and cute way: "Princess~ Who are these people?"

Before Lin Wanwan answered, Su Ye playfully stretched out his hand to tickle Lin Wanwan's waist: "Princess, you still owe me eighty-seven kisses."

Lin Wanwan was tickled by this sudden action, and she smiled and twisted her body to try to avoid it:

"Itchy...itchy...stop scratching. What eighty-seven kisses?"

Su Ye looked at Lin Wanwan's appearance and his face quickly turned red:

At this moment! Looking at the princess who was shaking with joy!

He feels itchy inside too!

At this time, Gu Jiazhuo walked over and saw clearly that the person holding the princess was Su Ye.

Gu Jiazhuo shouted directly: "Su Ye?!"

Lin Wanwan blinked and asked, "Do you... know each other?"

Su Ye pouted angrily: "Yes, in these few days, there are so many male favorites. Princess, I'd better go back. Let me stay in Pingyang City alone. Don't worry about me."

Lin Wanwan naturally sensed the jealousy and got up from his legs, just about to say something.

Gu Jiazhuo said hurriedly: "Okay, you can go back."

Su Ye's face darkened, and he immediately grabbed Lin Wanwan, hugged her back, and continued to let her sit on his lap.

Su Ye raised his eyebrows proudly and said to Gu Jiazhuo:

"Gu Jiazhuo, the princess doesn't like to be a freeloader. Although we used to hang out together and often went to Hongyue Tower to play, every time you played, I paid for it."

Gu Jiazhuo frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy, but still said unconvincedly:

"I...you...why are you saying this? I can't find the time to pay the money.

Don't you just rely on this face and some dirty money? "

Su Ye snorted coldly, raised his chin and said:

"Can't find a time to pay? Forget it!

Isn't it just that you love to take advantage and are stingy? "
