Lin Jiabao felt full of energy after his afternoon nap.

He went to the courtyard where his parents lived and saw his mother, eldest sister, second sister, and youngest sister. He heard from his mother that his father and eldest brother had been called by the Crown Prince to introduce them to some officials.

The four children chased and played in the courtyard. The two older children, Lin Jiacai and Lin Xiu 'er, also joined in. Their laughter filled the courtyard.

Lim Jing 'er, Lin Li' er, and Wu Qiaolan watched from the side.

Lin Jiabao was also affected by their good mood. He laughed and acted coquettishly towards his mother.

Unfortunately, not long after, this warm and happy scene was destroyed by three uninvited guests.

Lin Li 'er looked at Ke Meili and her daughters and frowned. She thought that they were up to no good.

She ran up to them and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Li 'er, you little girl, how can you be so rude!

How can your husband's family tolerate you with such a temper! "

Zhang Huiniang pushed Lin Li 'er to the side and let her and Wu Qiaolan look after the children together.

"Forget it. She's your aunt after all. You should change your temper."

Zhang Huiniang saw that the mother and daughters had something to say, so he led them to a nearby pavilion to sit down.

Lim Jing 'er saw this and came in as well.

Ke Meili saw that their courtyard had an exquisite and beautiful pavilion and was very envious. She thought that if she could persuade Jia Bao later, then they would be treated the same as Zhang Huiniang in the future.

She then said to Lin Jiabao in a fawning manner, "Jia Bao, your Chun 'er older sister told me. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble.

I've already told her off. Please don't take it to heart. "

Lin Jiabao didn't mind. "It's okay."

Zhang Huiniang and Lim Jing 'er were also very angry when they heard that Lin Chun' er had begged their younger brother to get an official position from the Crown Prince.

Wasn't this making things difficult for his younger brother?

Seeing that they were angry, Ke Meili wiped away her tears.

"Sigh!

Our Chun'er's life is really bitter. Even now, there's still no news from her stomach. Our days in the Wang family are really pitiful!

He could only follow his parents-in-law's instructions.

He still didn't know how to report back!

Don't blame us, Chun 'er. "

Seeing this, Zhang Huiniang and the others couldn't say anything more.

Ke Meili continued when she saw that their attitude had improved.

"Speaking of children!

I'm also worried about your Jia Bao. She's a Jia Bao with twins. It's inevitable that it'll be difficult for her to have children … "

When Zhang Huiniang and the others heard this, they immediately rebuked angrily, "Ke Meili, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I'm just telling the truth.

I came up with an idea to tell you all this, "Ke Meili continued, ignoring Zhang Huiniang and the others' anger.

"What idea do you have?" Lim Jing 'er said disdainfully.

Ke Meili pulled Lin Xia 'er in front of her. "Look, our Xia' er is about to become of marriageable age. If she becomes the Crown Prince's concubine, wouldn't it be great? In the future, when Xia 'er gives birth, the Jia Bao and Lin Xia' er will be cousins. They can take care of each other!"

"Dream on!"

Lim Jing 'er didn't believe Ke Meili's words. If they really had their way, why would they take care of her younger brother? It would be good enough if they didn't play any tricks on the Jia Bao.

"Get lost!

Get lost! "How could Zhang Huiniang not understand what they were trying to do?

Lin Li 'er, who had been eavesdropping, jumped out and scolded Lin Xia' er.

"Lin Xia 'er, how dare you covet the Crown Prince!

Look at yourself. You're not even fit to be our Jia Bao's palace maid!

Dream on! "

"How am I not fit? It's up to the Crown Prince to decide whether I'm fit or not."

Lin Xia 'er said to Lin Jiabao, "Elder Brother Jia Bao, please introduce me to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince will definitely have many women in the future. I'm your cousin, so I'll always be on your side. Elder Brother Jia Bao, don't worry."

"No!" Lin Jiabao didn't even think about it and answered resolutely.

Ke Meili and the others didn't expect Lin Jiabao to refuse so firmly.

Lin Chun 'er said to Lin Jiabao, "Jia Bao, we're doing this for your sake!"

"Is it for the Jia Bao's sake, or is it for your own sake!

You know it clearly in your hearts! "Lim Jing 'er said from the side.

"Don't say anymore. I won't introduce you to the Crown Prince.

You can leave. I don't want to see you. "Lin Jiabao said resolutely, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lin Jiabao held the small pouch that he always carried with him and felt the outline of the small seal. He decided in his heart that no matter how difficult it was, he would never share the Crown Prince with anyone.

Ke Meili and the others saw Lin Jiabao's calm and resolute aura and suddenly felt a bit timid.

Lin Xia 'er pulled her mother and sister away. She didn't believe that without Lin Jiabao, she would have no other way?

Humph!

Wait until she obtained the Crown Prince's favor, then she would teach him a lesson!

After Lin Xia 'er returned, she gave money to the eunuch in charge of the courtyard where they lived and asked him to find out the whereabouts of the Crown Prince.

Lin Xia 'er imagined that she would meet the Crown Prince by chance and then think of a way to make the Crown Prince fall in love with her … …

Xuanyuan Hancheng received the news from the Shadow Guard and coldly snorted.

"Uninvited and overconfident rats." They actually dared to make the Guai Bao unhappy. They were simply seeking death!

Since the Guai Bao said that he didn't want to see them, then he would do as he was told.

Lin Jiabao was sitting in a daze, playing with the small seal in his hand.

When he saw Xuanyuan Hancheng return, he immediately stood up.

"Guai Bao, do you like this seal?"

Xuanyuan Hancheng asked. This was his first time engraving. He had already ruined many pieces of jade, so he was quite satisfied.

"I like it, I like it very much. I also want to engrave one for my husband, but … … my handwriting isn't good."

Xuanyuan Hancheng picked up Guai Bao's small hand and kissed it.

"Guai Bao, it's good that you like it. You're not allowed to engrave it.

You'll hurt your hand and my husband will be heartbroken. "

Under Xuanyuan Hancheng's gentle gaze, Lin Jiabao suddenly felt very worried.

After hearing Ke Meili's words in the afternoon, he felt very sad.

His husband was so good to him. If he couldn't bear his husband's child in the future … …

Then … …

Xuanyuan Hancheng stroked Guai Bao's slightly furrowed brows.

"Guai Bao, don't frown. If there's anything you're unhappy about, tell your husband."

Lin Jiabao told Xuanyuan Hancheng what Ke Meili and the others had said. He never hid anything from his husband.

"Child … … I'm afraid … …"

"Silly Bao, don't think too much. Leave the matter of children to fate. Don't worry." In his previous life, the Jia Bao had a child. In this life, he had taken good care of Guai Bao's body.

They were young, so he wasn't worried at all.

After being reborn, Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't place as much importance on having children as he did in his previous life.

He wouldn't force it. He was already very grateful to the heavens for being able to spend the rest of his life with Guai Bao.

As for having children, it was up to fate. Even if the Jia Bao didn't have children in this life, he still had a younger brother. In the future, he could adopt his younger brother's son.

After hearing his husband's words, Lin Jiabao felt a lot more at ease.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng saw that Guai Bao's brows were no longer furrowed, he pulled him into his arms and kissed him on the ear.

"Your husband will love you a lot in the future. Let's work hard tonight."

When Lin Jiabao heard Xuanyuan Hancheng's words, he felt a little embarrassed and softly acknowledged.

Xuanyuan Hancheng continued, "Today, I've already talked to your older brother.

Next year, he'll come to the capital to take the Imperial College's examination.

If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be studying at the Imperial College in the capital.

He'll take the imperial exam a year later. "

"That's great. Big Brother has loved studying since he was young. It's great that he can come to the capital to study." Lin Jiabao was also very happy for his older brother.

"I've also told your father that I hope they can come to the capital to live next year.

This way, it'll be easier for Guai Bao to see his family in the future. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said another thing that made Guai Bao happy.

"Really!

Really!

That's great! "Lin Jiabao was extremely happy. The corners of his mouth formed a beautiful arc and his eyes were smiling.

When Lin Dazhuang and Lin Jiawen returned to their courtyard, they excitedly shared what they had seen and heard today with the rest of the Lin Family.

"Today, His Highness the Crown Prince introduced us to an official from Lizhou. It's really a great honor."

Lin Dazhuang said with a face full of smiles, "His Highness the Crown Prince said that he wants our Jiawen to study in the capital. He also wants to introduce a great scholar as a teacher."

When Zhang Huiniang heard this, he was also very excited, "Jiawen, is this true?

That's really great. "

Wu Qiaolan hugged Bogey and was also very happy when she heard this.

Lin Jiawen was also very excited. The Imperial College was a place that all students yearned to study.

"We have to pass the Imperial College's examination first."

"That's right. Jiawen, you have to do well this time. Don't disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince's good intentions." Lin Dazhuang reminded Lin Jiawen.

"Yes.

Your son will definitely study hard. "

Lin Jiawen remembered what His Highness the Crown Prince said. The Lin Family would definitely enter the imperial court in the future. Entering the Imperial College was only the first step.

Lin Jiawen had made up his mind. Not only would he enter the Imperial College, he would also enter with outstanding results. For the sake of his family, for the sake of his family, and for the sake of his future, he really had to give it his all.

"His Highness the Crown Prince also said that he wants us to live in the capital. That way, we'll have a chance to see Jia Bao in the future.

I think that if we live there for a long time, we farmers won't be used to living there.

We can live there for a period of time every year. It's better to let Jiawen and his wife live in the capital. "Lin Dazhuang explained his plans.

"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has made a lot of plans for Jia Bao." Zhang Huiniang sighed. "Unfortunately, I'm just worried about Jia Bao …"

"What's wrong with Jia Bao?" Lin Dazhuang didn't understand and asked.

"Jia Bao is a blessed person. Mother, don't think too much about it.

I think that His Highness the Crown Prince clearly cares a lot about our Jia Bao. "

Lin Jing 'er comforted his mother. Then she told her father and Jiawen about what happened this afternoon. She also told them about her worries.

"I'm afraid that Lin Xia 'er won't give up. I'm a little worried that they'll do something."

When Lin Dazhuang heard about this, he was very angry. He wanted to find Lin Dali's family.

However, he was stopped by Jiawen and the others.

"Father, don't be impulsive. After all, this is the temporary imperial residence.

I don't think it'll be easy for them to get close to His Highness the Crown Prince. "

While Lin Dazhuang and the others were worried, Lin Dali's family and Lin Chun 'er and her husband were brought to a dark room by the imperial bodyguards.

Everyone was in a panic. Lin Xia 'er was still waiting to inquire about His Highness the Crown Prince's whereabouts. Now, she was in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

"His Highness the Crown Prince …" When everyone saw His Highness the Crown Prince sitting high up, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted him.

Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't tell them to get up. He let them kneel and looked at them with a very cold gaze.

"His Highness the Crown Prince … Why did you let the imperial bodyguards bring us here?" Lin Xia 'er boldly asked His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Why?" Xuanyuan Hancheng sneered. He looked at Lin Xia 'er as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Yuan Fu …"

Yuan Fu brought a eunuch over. That eunuch was the one that Lin Xia 'er had bribed to ask about His Highness the Crown Prince's whereabouts.

That eunuch calmly confessed that Lin Xia 'er had bribed him and asked him to inquire about His Highness the Crown Prince's whereabouts.

"How should I deal with spying on the Crown Prince's whereabouts?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked in a very casual tone. However, Lin Dali's family was already drenched in cold sweat.

Yuan Fu replied with a slightly sharp voice: "Replying to His Highness the Crown Prince, it's a capital offense."

"No … no …" Hearing that it was a capital offense, Ke Meili was so scared that she started crying.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, my daughter is young and doesn't know any better.

His Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive her this time for the sake of Vice Prince Lin. "Lin Dali hurriedly begged the Crown Prince for mercy.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, this little girl didn't ask about your whereabouts with malice. I only … only admire Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xia 'er was already sobbing like a pear blossom in the rain. Her tearful appearance made one feel pity for her.

"Impudent!" Yuan Fu berated.

"Is His Highness the Crown Prince someone that commoners like you can covet?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince, please take pity on me. This little girl … this little girl is more beautiful than Lin Jiabao. I'm also a girl … and …" Before Lin Xia 'er could finish speaking, the Crown Prince interrupted her.

"Shameless thing.

Who allowed you to call Vice Prince Lin by his name? "Xuanyuan Hancheng heard Lin Xia 'er compare herself to Guai Bao.

"Yuan Fu, slap her mouth."

Yuan Fu instructed two guards to go forward and grab Lin Xia 'er, and then he instructed a burly guard to slap her on the face.

"Wuwuwu …" Lin Xia 'er's pretty face instantly turned red from the slap.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive our Xia 'er. Don't hit her … don't hit her …" Ke Meili cried and begged for mercy when she saw her daughter being slapped.

Xuanyuan Hancheng expressionlessly watched as Lin Xia 'er's little face was slapped until it was bleeding.

"Wuwuwu …" Lin Xia 'er was in so much pain from the slap that one of her teeth was knocked out.

Only now did she realize that even if she was beaten to death right now, the Crown Prince wouldn't even frown.

It turned out that the Crown Prince's gentleness towards Lin Jiabao was all a facade. This was the Crown Prince's true colors.

She had been too naive …

Only when Xuanyuan Hancheng raised his hand slightly did the slap on Lin Xia 'er's face stop.

Lin Xia 'er had already fainted from the pain.

Lin Dali and the others hurriedly called out, "Xia 'er … Xia' er …"

Lin Chun 'er kowtowed to the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive my younger sister. She knows her mistake and won't dare to do it again."

"You're a good older sister. I heard that your father-in-law wants to be promoted."

Xuanyuan Hancheng calmly said, "Registrar Wang is getting old. Even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. It's time for him to retire."

Lin Chun 'er's husband sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard this. This meant that his father was going to be dismissed from his position!

"This Prince has thought of a good place for your father-in-law. How about Border City?

Lin Dali, your family can come along.

Yuan Fu, arrange for them to be on their way immediately. "

Xuanyuan Hancheng instructed the Yuan Fu that Lin Dali's family was a nuisance. He didn't want them to stay in Pei County any longer.

Xuanyuan Hancheng had always been decisive in his actions. In the future, the Jia Bao would be promoted to that position. Keeping them here would definitely affect the Guai Bao. It was better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Wang Xuebo was a scholar, so he naturally knew where Border City was. This … wasn't this sending them to the borders …

Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't give them a chance to refute. He didn't even look at them as he got up and left.

After the Crown Prince left, Lin Dali's family collapsed to the ground.

They felt that this was really bad. They wanted to go and plead with Lin Dazhuang and the others.

Unfortunately, they were already under surveillance. Very quickly, they were secretly sent away in the middle of the night.

Registrar Wang's family was still waiting for the good news of his promotion. A few days later, he was sent away in the middle of the night by the Crown Prince's men.

Just like that, before Lin Dazhuang's family knew anything, Lin Dali and the others had already disappeared without a trace.
