Chapter 157 Favor
Today is a day off, and the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Yin Wenjie, is in the inner house behind the government office, enjoying the company of his concubine.
Suddenly, the servant waiting at the door knocked on the door anxiously, "Master! His Royal Highness Prince Yan is coming! The motorcade will be at the government office soon!" So stop playing with your concubine! He was so frightened that he quickly let go of the young and beautiful concubine's slender waist, and a look of fear appeared on his white and plump face.
Holy crap!
He is just an ordinary fourth-rank prefect!
He hurriedly stood up and hurriedly tied his belt which was about to loosen. The beautiful concubine also helped him change clothes gently and considerately.
Yin Wenjie felt that things were going to get bad. He had no idea why the Prince of Yan was here! It was because his boss was begging for his life this year!
The two gray stone lions in front of the yamen were majestic and solemn. The three main gates, including the ceremonial gate, were opened. Officials such as the Tongzhi, Tongpan, Tuiguan, and Jili had already been waiting in front of the ceremonial gate.
Before Yin Wenjie even had the time to talk to his subordinates, he saw the personal guards of Prince Yan's Palace and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who displayed the royal demeanor.
He was stunned for a rare moment. He was about to be confronted by the Imperial Guards...
After he and a group of officials approached and exchanged greetings, a tall, handsome man stepped out of the luxurious yet understated carriage. He turned around, put his arm around a stunning young woman, and gently placed her on the ground. Then, he casually said, "No need for formalities."
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Is this the legendary Princess Consort of Yan?
Her stunning appearance without any makeup, black hair and white skin is simply stunning. How can she look so beautiful wearing only a jade hairpin?
His Royal Highness Prince Yan is truly blessed!
It is true that even heroes cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women!
If they were His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and could marry a beautiful woman with a top-notch family background and stunning appearance, they would also be willing to be together for the rest of their lives! However, they cannot be as gentle and considerate as His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.
How can a grown man be so considerate to a woman outside?
Rong Jinchen glanced at the people in front of him indifferently, "Who is the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture?" The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Yin Wenjie, whose name was called, smiled awkwardly and said, "Reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Yan, I am the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Yin Wenjie." What's wrong with him?
"I am here on the orders of my father to inspect the land survey within the Great Qin. Prefect Yin will be with me tomorrow." The man's voice was low and cold, and it was like a bolt from the blue to Yin Wenjie and the others.
Their rest day!
We can only be thankful that it is close to the capital, and the prefects of Yingtian Prefecture are not greedy. They honestly do what Your Majesty asks and do not bribe the officials who survey the land and the Jinyiwei.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be anxious about taking a day off or working overtime, which could mean losing their jobs at best, or being made an example of to scare others!
But I still want to say that Prime Minister Su’s performance evaluation method is too abnormal QAQ...
"As you command." The voice was filled with a forced smile.
Yin Wenjie, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, quickly came to his senses. After all, he was so honest that he was not afraid. He said enthusiastically: "Your Highness Prince Yan, Your Highness Princess, would you like to stay in the guesthouse? My humble abode is simple, so please be patient with me." They all lived in the government office.
Rong Jinchen looked at Su Zhenzhen, and Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's live in the courtyard." After hearing that, he looked at her with a smile, "Qingqing, I'm sorry for putting you in trouble." His tone was very gentle.
Su Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled. Besides, whether it was a guesthouse, a post house, or an inn, they were all the same to her. Anyway, they brought everything they usually brought with them on their trip. It was truly a luxury.
Everyone in Yingtian Prefecture: Your Highness, Prince of Yan, how could you be smiling so happily in the face of their icy expressions?
The Yingtian Prefecture government office was covered with gray lime tiles and was not as prosperous as the capital. They entered the main gate, passed the screen wall, passed the second and third hall gates, and arrived at the government office garden.
The royal guards and the Imperial Uniform Guards were all accommodated in post stations and inns. The only people serving Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen were Bai Zhi, Lu Wu, Gu Heng, Gu Cheng, a group of maids, cooks, and the royal guards who carried the luggage.
Because Rong Jinchen was a male guest, it was difficult to arrange him in the inner courtyard, so he chose a separate courtyard near the flower garden.
The Tongzhi and Tongpan did not follow, only the prefect of Yingtianfu, Yin Wenjie, brought them personally.
At this moment, the prefect's wife, Li Mo, had just received the news. She hurriedly dressed and put on her makeup, and came to greet them from afar, "Your Majesty the Prince of Yan, and Your Majesty the Princess." The prefect's wife was fifty-one years old this year, the same age as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Yin Wenjie. They looked like a couple. Both of them had fair and clean faces, and they looked no more than forty years old because they took good care of themselves.
"No need to be so polite." After hearing the princess's clear and soft voice, she stood up and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and the Princess of Yan calmly.
The prefect's wife, Li Mo, was stunned. The Princess Consort of Prince Yan was incredibly beautiful, and beside her, His Highness the Prince of Yan seemed so perfectly matched. "I've long heard that His Highness the Prince of Yan loves the Princess so dearly and treats her like a pearl. Seeing her today, I know the rumors are true," she said, smiling, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.
Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan looked extremely handsome, he had an imposing aura and a cold expression, and it was obvious that he was not easy to approach or flatter. On second thought, the Prince of Yan was most famous for having been granted the title of Wolf's Lair before he was even twenty, and for not being interested in women.
Su Zhenzhen smiled politely, "You're too polite, Madam Prefect." She glanced at the man who was looking at her with gentle eyes, and Rong Jinchen whispered, "Where is the villa?" Qingqing was tired.
Yin Wenjie, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, raised his hand and gestured: "It's just ahead." The prefect's wife, Li Mo, also led them there.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Majesty the Princess of Yan and their entourage had settled down, the couple walked on the road.
Yingtian Prefecture Governor Yin Wenjie said, "Madam, ask the people serving His Highness and the Princess about their dietary restrictions for dinner tonight." They were definitely going to entertain His Highness the Prince of Yan and the Princess. The Governor's wife, Li Mo, smiled and said, "Of course, but, sir, the Princess is so young. How are we going to arrange for the female family members?" She was fifty-one, already grandmother-age, and there was really nothing to talk about with the Princess, who could be her granddaughter.
His chubby, blessed face froze for a moment, "Yue'er is a steady person, let her live with the old family." Yin Yue is the eldest granddaughter of Yin Wenjie and the prefect's wife, and the eldest daughter-in-law is her mother.
He whispered, "Don't let the others disturb the princess. I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan doesn't like anyone disturbing him and the princess." He added, "Please tell Yue'er and the old lady not to offend the princess. Don't take advantage of her youth and ignore her." This is fatal!
The prefect's wife muttered, "Don't worry, Master. We're not the kind of family that doesn't follow the rules." They weren't risking their lives. The princess was the apple of his eye, and rumors in the capital couldn't be based on empty words.
What's more, she is Prime Minister Su's beloved daughter.
