Yu Zhan took a deep breath and looked at Ye Qingwan, saying, "You win!"
After she finished speaking and took the gold, she said, "I'll accept it this time, but there won't be a next time!"
Ye Qingwan said with a hint of disdain, "Two double rewards, are you going to let me play or not?"
Yu Zhan: "..."
She looked at the gold in her hand, a conflicted look in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and said, "Ten times, hit as many times as you want."
Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're really not that expensive!"
Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard their conversation; those two were truly something else.
Last night, when I was drunk, I didn't recognize anyone, but today, after sobering up, I've become calm on one hand and shameless on the other.
The two men looked at her when they heard the noise. She crossed her arms and said, "Don't worry about me, continue!"
Ye Qingwan looked at her and said, "What's the point of continuing? I've already seen through Yu Zhan's shamelessness and poverty."
Yu Zhan said with a grin, "The princess is easier to get along with than the prince. At least she will pay compensation after she beats someone up."
"So even though she's a nuisance, I can still put up with her a little longer."
Ye Qingwan ignored her and looked at Lin Xiuyan, saying, "Hey, what's that on your neck?"
Her actions were faster than her words; she had already rushed in front of Lin Xiuyan and pulled open her clothes.
Lin Xiuyan tried to pull her back, but it was too late. She cried out, "Princess, help me beat her up!"
Ye Qingwan ignored Lin Xiuyan's words and, together with Yu Zhan, pulled Lin Xiuyan's clothes open a little.
She chuckled, "Sister-in-law, that's impressive! My brother usually seems so restrained and refined, I never expected him to be so wild in front of you!"
Lin Xiuyan kicked one of them away: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Her face flushed slightly: "This is my private matter, what business is it of yours!"
Yu Zhan leaned against her shoulder and said, "Share your experiences from last night!"
After the three of them laughed and joked for a while, a servant called them over to have breakfast.
When they arrived, Yu Zhan and Ye Qingwan exchanged knowing glances with Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei asked with a smile, "Are your eyes twitching? Do you need me to gouge them out for you?"
Yu Zhan was afraid of him and immediately returned to normal.
Ye Qingwan then asked with a smile, "Brother, when are you and sister-in-law going to give me a little nephew to play with?"
Ye Junfei said without changing his expression, "It should be about time when someone is willing to marry you."
Ye Qingwan: "..."
She pursed her lips slightly, gave a soft snort, and couldn't utter another word to tease him.
Lin Xiuyan gave Ye Junfei a thumbs up. When it comes to roasting people, Ye Junfei is the best!
Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue felt that it was wonderful to be young when they saw them laughing and joking around.
Lin Xiuyan placed a golden thread roll, one of Ye Junfei's favorite foods, on her plate and asked, "Aren't you going to the Hall of State Affairs today?"
Ye Junfei replied, "Yesterday I obtained the position of Commandant of Liefeng Prefecture from that old geezer."
"From now on, I can go to the Council of State Affairs whenever I want, and I won't go if I don't want to."
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised: "The position of Commandant has considerable power, why would he be willing to give it to you?"
The Commandant is a military officer with real power. In Liefeng Prefecture, he not only has the authority to mobilize troops, but also oversees the defense of Liefeng City.
Given the Prince of Pingnan's dislike for Ye Junfei, it would be highly unlikely that he would be given such a powerful official position under normal circumstances.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "Yesterday, the clan leader and several elders went to the government affairs hall."
“They think that as the crown prince, I have no real power except for the title of crown prince, which is not normal.”
Lin Xiuyan asked, "They'll just give in after a little fuss from that old codger? That doesn't make sense, does it?"
Ye Junfei smiled slightly: "Of course it's not that simple. The truth is, after the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, they were trying to persuade the old man to give me more power."
"Of course the old geezer wouldn't agree, so he kept delaying."
"The other day, the man surnamed Zheng was slapped in the face in the street, and he repeatedly protected Zhou Shuyi. The Hu family is behind all of this."
"For members of the royal family, royal power is equally inviolable. The Hu clan is powerful and will inevitably damage the interests of the Ye royal family."
"In addition, many members of the Ye royal family have suffered at the hands of the Hu family in recent years, so they certainly won't let go of such an opportunity."
"They keep talking about the Ye clan, recounting how the Hu clan has humiliated the Ye royal family over the years. Of course, the old geezer will compromise."
"And my official position is the result of that old codger's compromise."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyan understood the whole story:
After returning to Liefeng Prefecture from the capital, Ye Junfei used some methods to cultivate good relations with the royal family.
If he wants to leave a good impression on others, he's quite good at putting on an act, making people feel like they're basking in a spring breeze.
This is also the fundamental reason why, after he returned to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, the Ye clan, from the Imperial Clan Head to other relatives, stood on his side.
Their previous thrashing of the Xuanzi Camp demonstrated Ye Junfei's abilities to everyone.
Their actions in disciplining the city patrol guards in the street last time demonstrated his impartiality to everyone.
Zhou Lengshan's death made them realize that Ye Junfei and the Hu family were irreconcilable enemies, as well as the wealth he controlled.
These actions earned him another wave of goodwill, making the people of the Ye Clan think he was quite good.
In their eyes, Ye Junfei is now a capable, decisive, and kind person.
In addition, Ye Junfei's birth mother died early, so he had no maternal clan to support him and could only rely on the Ye clan.
If Ye Jingxian were to replace Ye Junfei as the heir apparent and succeed as the Prince of Pingnan, the Hu clan would undoubtedly become even more powerful, and their lives would become even more difficult.
Given this fundamental premise, they would naturally align themselves with Ye Junfei.
Although the Hu family has become powerful in recent years, the Ye family is, after all, a royal family. Although their population is not as large as that of the Hu family, they are still quite powerful.
Moreover, in the eyes of the Ye clan, the Hu clan was an ambitious maternal relative.
Ye Junfei skillfully utilized these connections, having his clansmen, including the Zongzheng, intervene and secure the position of Commandant for him. (www.cascoo.net)
Lin Xiuyan praised, "The young master is truly remarkable; he has arranged all these matters so clearly."
Ye Junfei chuckled softly.
Lin Yunzhi rarely praised Ye Junfei: "You did a good job this time."
Ye Junfei smiled slightly: "It's all thanks to my parents' good upbringing."
When they left the Lin residence, Ye Junfei wanted to take Lin Xiuyan for a stroll around the city, so he said to Ye Qingwan, "There's nothing for you here, you can go back to the Prince's residence!"
Ye Qingwan pouted: "I've figured it out, you're the kind of person who values men more than women."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Yu Zhan, who was still planning to follow behind them to find out more information, away with her.
Yu Zhan: "..."
She realized that although Ye Qingwan complained about her brother Ye Junfei, she actually protected him very much. Ye Qingwan hoped more than anyone else that Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan would be a loving couple.
She looked at Ye Qingwan and asked, "Princess, where are you taking me?"
Ye Qingwan's lips curled slightly: "Didn't you say you wanted to hang that old hag up and beat her up? Let's make some plans."
