er couldn't possibly not recognize him. Looking at this, it seems like the big brother has simply forgotten.Soon, the four of them sat down, and tea was also brought over.Wang Yuanwai bowed and asked..."Uncle Huang, Jia Yin is here to see you! I brought some delicious fruits for you!"

Jia Yin quickly stepped forward, smiling as she placed the basket on the desk before bowing her head respectfully.

"Get up!" The emperor quickly raised his hand to signal her to rise, and said with a playful smile, "I thought you little rascal was so engrossed in counting your silver that you'd forgotten your dear old uncle!"

"Of course not! One can never forget Emperor Uncle!" Jia Yin smiled, revealing a small white tooth, just as close to the emperor as she was when she was little.

She held up a large white jade gourd, pretending to be pained as she presented it to the emperor. "Your Majesty," she said, "look at this white jade gourd! They're all selling out in the market."

"This one I managed to keep for myself, so later when Uncle Huang comes, he better give me some good stuff. Otherwise, I'll be losing money!"

The Emperor burst into laughter and said to the Marquis and Yi, the Chief Steward: “Look at this girl’s guts! She actually dared to bring her business right before me!”

The lord smiled and nodded, but Yi the steward smoothly took the white jade gourd and said, "Your Majesty, this is the county princess showing respect to you as an elder!"

Everyone knows that the county princess loves silver. But the only one who can make the county princess give up her silver and accept a white jade gourd is you.

As expected, the Emperor laughed even louder and beckoned Jiayin to sit down quickly.

The manager cut fruit and took the eunuch boy and maidservants along with him.

The room was quiet for a while, so the Emperor chatted with Jia Yin about everyday matters.

"I hear that your business is booming. Even in the palace, people are talking about it."

Jia Yin wore an air of pride, yet she still tried to be humble, waving her little hands diligently. "No, no, business is just average."

The Emperor couldn't help but laugh again, and said to the Marquis, "Brother, this girl is afraid that I will steal her business!"

The Marquis replied, "It's not easy for the Emperor to seize it either. She's always been like this since she was young. Once the silver gets into her hands, no one can take it away."

"I stayed at the military camp for a few days, and when I came back, I found she had already made up the bed. It's quite a skill, if you ask me."

Jia Yin immediately protested, "My adoptive father even said that since Grandma and the others went out to find a wife for my second brother, everyone else should just stay out too. You, Father, and Uncle... none of you are coming back either."

"All alone I am on Golden Sand Beach, pitiful and forlorn.

"I opened a shop, earn some money, it's also to please myself happy!"

The Emperor's eyes flashed, speaking up for Jia Yin, "That's right, Cousin. You've finally returned from the northern campaign. Since there aren't many matters in the army, just leave them to the deputy generals. Come back and stay here for a while longer, recuperate your health."

"I can wait for you to recapture Jiangbei in one breath next year!"

Having said that, he asked Jiayin again, "You just said that your second brother is getting married Is his bride from the south"

Jia Yin casually peeled a banana for the Emperor and ate one herself, saying, "Yes, my second brother brought it back from the sea."

It is said that this girl's family was killed by bad people, especially pitiful. But this girl is also strong-willed and tries to take revenge on her own. As a result,

"My plan backfired, I almost lost my life. My second brother saved me at the crucial moment."

"My mother said they should go and see the girl for themselves.

"If her character is good and my second brother likes her, then we'll marry her. If not, we'll take her in as a goddaughter and find a good family for her to marry into so she has a good future."

The Emperor nodded, the Li family has always been so upright in their dealings.

Both of the previous husbands were not from distinguished families.

As long as the boy likes it, the Li family never stops him.

But it has to be said, the Li family has good taste. Their daughters-in-law are all filial and well-behaved, and their lives are harmonious.

Jia Yin saw the Emperor nod, and a wave of relief washed over her.

Just as Manager Yi brought in the freshly cut white jade melon, she changed the subject and began to talk about how difficult it is to cultivate white jade melons.

He also said that Lu Zong cried almost because he missed home while eating melons.

Thus, he naturally brought up how Lu Cong and his elder brother had met and become friends.

Even the fact that Lord Hou had just given Lu Cong a horse was dismissed as idle chatter.

The emperor listened with a smile, whether he truly took it as idle chatter, Jia Yin didn't care.

This counts as going through the proper channels. From now on, anyone who tries to make trouble with this horse by claiming connections between Xin Ting Hou and the Lu family will have no chance.

Thus, the Emperor and Jia Yin chatted while eating, the Marquis occasionally responded with a few words, and Yi, the head steward, played the role of a good foil. The room was quite lively.

The emperor probably wanted to speak privately with the Marquis about matters of state, so he told Jia Yin: "Recently, the third princess has fallen ill and has been staying in her room, refusing to come out.

"Go and see her on my behalf. Talk to her, comfort her, and persuade her."

"Since you two grew up together, she might just listen to what you have to say."

Jia Yin mentally grumbled, "Damn it, we've grown up together since we were kids!"

She wouldn't even fight with the Third Princess when they met. That was giving each other face...

But she couldn't say that aloud, of course. Feigning joy and delight, she followed Lord Feng to the Zilan Palace.

Originally, Jia Yin thought that the Third Princess would definitely not want to see her. She stood outside the Zhi Lan Palace for a while, even if it meant completing the mission and then leaving the palace to wait for her godfather.

To her surprise, the message got through, and the Third Princess actually allowed her to enter.

This is all we can do, meet the soldiers with soldiers and water with earth...

The Third Princess sat on the bed in her silk nightgown, with her hair loose and a tiny, withered face that held none of her former arrogance. She looked like a neglected little victim.

Even as she looked at Jiayin, there was still a trace of resentment in her eyes.

Jia Yin bowed to her, but she didn't speak.

Jia Yin secretly rolled her eyes and ignored any rules. She found a nearby chair near the brazier and sat down.

She saw a plate of candied chestnuts on the table. She picked one up, sniffed it, and began to peel and eat it.

The chestnuts are newly roasted, fragrant and sweet, but a bit dry.

Jia Yin instructed one of the maids waiting nearby, "Please trouble yourself and make a pot of fruit tea for this county princess."

Omiya, on the other hand, was protective of her master. Seeing that Kaiyin showed no reverence for the princess, she was eager to reprimand her.

Unfortunately, the princess remained silent. She didn't dare to speak.

At this moment, Jiayin was being carefree, drinking and eating at will. When asked for tea, she refused to comply.

As a result, the princess simply waved her hand and ordered, “Go prepare some tea. You are not to enter unless I summon you.”

Ogimi was very worried, but she could only withdraw with a complicated expression.

"You know, Li Jia Yin, I'm really envious of you. "

"I envy how lively your family is, I envy that your grandmother and parents are willing to risk their lives to protect you and love you. Even someone as noble as the marquis treats you like a precious jewel."

"I envy your boldness more, I envy that you do whatever you want. If you like to eat snacks, open a snack shop; if you like to eat fruit, sell fruit. You never hesitate!"

"Is that to say, even here, you act so carelessly You eat and drink as if you were not afraid of me poisoning you, or of me punishing you…"dn't help laughing aloud, "Reward, of course! Reward all the civil and military officials with one month's salary. I shall also take a break from the grand court meeting, personally husk some corn cob...
