The table was covered with valuable jade, jewelry, and precious calligraphy and paintings—it had everything imaginable, filling the entire table, and there were even two boxes on the floor.
Zhao Hanyue was speechless for a moment after seeing this!
Wow... this son-in-law is quite wealthy!
"Hehe! Xiao Chen, you're too kind!"
Although Zhao Hanyue was a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of gifts, she noticed that Li Xiaochen liked them more and more the more he looked at them!
"Mother-in-law, you flatter me. It's only right that I bring a gift since it's my first visit!"
Li Xiaochen spoke modestly, without a trace of the airs of a prince.
Lin Yuxin watched them flattering each other, and thought it was unbelievable! She couldn't help but interrupt:
“Mother, why are you being so polite with him! What’s his is mine, and what’s mine is yours. If you want it, just tell me and I’ll bring it back for you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Hanyue, enraged, raised her hand and smacked her on the head.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat!"
"Ah!! I was just trying to lighten the mood! You guys are all praising each other so much, aren't you being a bit too formal?!"
Lin Yuxin clutched her head in pain and said aggrievedly!
Seeing that his wife had been hit on the head, Li Xiaochen felt sorry for her and went over to rub it for her, saying:
“Mother-in-law, Xin Xin is right. I have no parents, so you will be my mother from now on. If you want anything from my house, just say the word and I will have someone send it to you.”
Li Xiaochen's words left Zhao Hanyue speechless. How could she possibly dare to accept the Regent's things? Many of them were gifts bestowed by the Emperor himself; how could she possibly give them away to others?
"Hehehe! Good! I've got it. I'm glad you've put in the effort!!"
Zhao Hanyue didn't dare to dwell on the topic any longer and said with a smile.
Wang Yu rolled his eyes inwardly. He thought that just now, his prince might have even considered giving up the palace.
When other people get married, they're overjoyed and bringing home all sorts of things. But you, getting married, are happily giving away money?
"By the way, Mother, Li Xiaochen and I are going out of Beijing tomorrow!"
Lin Yuxin remembered something important and decided to tell Zhao Hanyya so she wouldn't worry.
What are you going out of the capital for?
Zhao Hanyue was surprised. Why was he going out so soon after getting married?
"His Majesty has assigned a mission to Li Xiaochen, and I'm going on a trip with him as a honeymoon!"
Lin Yuxin didn't say they were going to the Zhao Kingdom, only that they had a mission.
"It's fine if Xiao Chen goes, but what are you going there for?"
Zhao Hanyue was worried and held onto Lin Yuxin's hand tightly, asking anxiously.
Although she didn't understand what Lin Yuxin meant by "honeymoon trip," it didn't diminish her worry for her daughter at all.
"Hehe! Mother, I haven't seen the scenery of Xia Kingdom yet! This is a good opportunity to go out and explore with A-Chen!"
Afraid that Zhao Hanyue would overthink things, Lin Yuxin quickly grabbed her arm and shook it, saying in a coquettish tone.
She didn't think her ideas were strange or novel in this era at all.
In their worldview, a woman is expected to obey her husband after marriage and her son after her husband's death. She spends her days at home taking care of her husband and children and never thinks about leaving this world.
So when Lin Yuxin said those words, a hint of envy flashed in Ji Qingxue's eyes. She truly envied her sister-in-law's carefree and independent spirit.
Zhao Hanyue turned to look at Li Xiaochen, her meaning clear: as long as her son-in-law had no objections, she, as his mother, was naturally happy to see her daughter go through all this trouble.
“Mother-in-law, since Xin Xin wants to go, I naturally agree. Besides, I just got married to Xin Xin, and I can’t bear to leave her in the capital.”
Li Xiaochen saw his mother-in-law's worries and spoke his mind directly, not afraid that he, a prince, would be laughed at for being so inseparable from women.
"Alright! Since Xiao Chen has said so, you may go if you wish. But remember, don't cause trouble for the Prince, understand?"
Zhao Hanyue felt relieved after hearing the prince's words. She patted Lin Yuxin's hand and gave her some advice.
"Yes, yes, yes! Daughter knows."
Seeing that her mother had finally stopped talking, Lin Yuxin nodded quickly and then secretly winked at Li Xiaochen.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaochen's lips curled up. This girl.
After the family had lunch, Lin Yuxin chatted with Zhao Hanyue for a while before leaving, as they were going on a long trip the next day and needed to make preparations.
Lin Chenglie saw the two out, and when they reached the front gate, he stopped and asked Lin Yuxin in a low voice:
"Xin Xin, is there any danger on your journey?"
Lin Yuxin paused, looked up at her older brother, and realized she hadn't been able to hide it from him after all.
"Don't worry, brother. There will be dangers on this journey, but I will definitely come back safely."
Lin Yuxin smiled sweetly at her older brother and made a promise.
Just be careful.
Lin Chenglie didn't say anything more, only gave a word of advice, then looked at Li Xiaochen, bowed to him, and said:
"Your Highness, please keep a close eye on Xin Xin and prevent her from causing trouble!"
Lin Yuxin: ...?
The older brother is still the older brother; even his words are so cutting. She hasn't even left the house yet, how can you already think she'll cause trouble?
Lin Yuxin pouted at Lin Chenglie but didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, brother. I will protect my queen."
Li Xiaochen gently helped Lin Chenglie up and reiterated his promise. He knew that some things couldn't be kept from Lin Yuxin's three brothers, especially Lin Shixiao, but it was Lin Chenglie who came to ask, which surprised him.
It doesn't matter who comes, it's his own woman, he will naturally protect her!
