Chapter 306 Keep your voice down
"Jinglang, keep your voice down, don't let the people outside hear you."
Lin Suyi smiled and tugged at his sleeve, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.
Every time, Prince Jing would mention Lin Anyuan with immense pride, as if he were his own son.
King Jing: Of course, I've been thinking about this kid for a long time, and this time I really want to be his father.
"So what if they hear it? Anyone who dares to tell anyone, I'll skin them alive." King Jing has always been an unreasonable person.
There are times when we need to reason with each other, but it depends on who we're talking to.
"Jinglang, now that Jiangnan is unified, shouldn't you be ascending the throne next?"
Lin Suyi looked at the man in front of her. He was over thirty years old, tall and handsome, and was at the prime of his life.
If someone treats her with such devotion, even if her heart is made of stone, she will waver.
When she regained her memory and left Wanwan, wasn't her initial decision to follow him also motivated by a desire to curry favor with the powerful?
Later, when she revealed that Lin Anyuan was her son, she didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she valued him even more.
Such a person, if he becomes emperor in the future, will be a wise ruler.
She and her child...
"What's so great about ascending the throne? I won't be able to relax and roast chestnuts with you anymore." King Jing felt that things were fine as they were.
Being an emperor involves many rules, including getting up early to attend court, leaving him with significantly less leisure time.
"Jinglang is slacking off again," Lin Suyi laughed.
Never mind, I won't think about it too much. I'll just take it one step at a time.
Even after gazing at her for a long time, Prince Jing would still be mesmerized by her beauty. "Yiyi, staying with you isn't called slacking off."
He even suspected that Lin Suying was a fairy sent by God to help him.
As the two were talking, the eunuch from Prince Jing's side arrived, saying that the person they were looking for had been found.
"Ah Quan, go there yourself and take the person to Madam Ye's place."
Prince Jing is now called Lady Ye, not Lady Lin.
This woman's abilities deserve to be remembered by everyone.
"Yes." Grandfather Dequan didn't dare to look up at the couple.
Yes, they are a married couple.
Of all the women in the inner palace, only his closest confidants knew that Prince Jing only considered Lin Suying as his wife.
"Yiyi, why didn't you send anything to your good daughter-in-law this time?" King Jing peeled a chestnut, blew on it until it was almost dry, and then handed it over.
Freshly roasted chestnuts are sweet and soft, filling the air with their sweet aroma.
"Taking it there would be a hassle to move it back here. When the couple comes to the capital, Prince Jing will just give it to them." Lin Suying didn't take it, but bit Prince Jing's hand instead.
Prince Jing's eyes nearly lit up with a smile when he saw this. "You're right. So many houses are empty. Which one do you think would be good for Xiao Yuan? How about the one on East Street, the former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?"
After the Duke of Zhenguo died, his children became a disorganized mess, all of them incompetent and useless, and the mansion was left empty.
Lin Suying thought for a moment, "It's not appropriate, it's too conspicuous."
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is too luxurious. If Lin Anyuan moves in, people will think he is the next Duke of Zhenguo, which is equivalent to putting him in the spotlight.
Even though she was in the imperial harem, she wasn't completely ignorant of everything.
When Prince Jing was handling official business, he would not avoid her, and over time he began to understand her better.
After careful consideration, Prince Jing said, "Then let's go with the Princess's residence. It's not particularly large and it's not conspicuous."
Most importantly, this one is new and has never been lived in.
“Alright, I’ll do whatever Jing Lang says.” As soon as Lin Suyi finished speaking, Prince Jing pressed himself against her.
"Jinglang, it's broad daylight, you..."
"So what if it's broad daylight? No one would dare come in during the day without my permission. Just close your eyes and it'll be dark."
"..."
...
Before it got dark, Huigu brought good news.
"Madam, the person you requested has been found! Eunuch Dequan has already delivered him."
"Greetings, Madam Ye."
Grandpa Dequan, accompanied by six others, bowed to Ye Wan.
"When Lady Ye came, the Prince had already given instructions that all these craftsmen would listen to you."
These were messages that Ye Wan asked Fang Daru to help deliver, asking Prince Jing to find craftsmen who could make glass.
This wasn't the first time Li Dequan had met Ye Wan. He knew that this Lady Ye was of extraordinary status and a beloved junior to Prince Jing, so he was very polite to her.
"Thank you for making this trip in person, Father-in-law." Ye Wan stuffed a rather heavy purse into her hand.
Li Dequan did not refuse; if he did not accept it at this time, he would be considered ungrateful.
The leader of these six men is called Lao Qiu.
"You two work together with Ge Yue to make the best glass."
Old Qiu looked at the glass bowl on the table. "This...is this glass?"
"Yes, this is a glass vessel. I will trouble you to take it back to the Prince."
Ye Wan prepared a set of tools, and all the utensils she could make were packed in a box and carefully sealed.
Relying on Ge Yue alone is definitely not enough, which is why she asked King Jing for more people.
There are countless talented and heroic people in the world.
This is just her everyday fruit bowl on the table.
"Is this colorless glass?" Old Qiu looked at it again and again.
Ye Wan simply handed him the glass bowl to look at, "It's colorless glass. To distinguish it from regular glass, we just call it glass."
Old Qiu frowned. "Madam Ye, if I may be so bold, these things won't fetch a good price without color."
The high price of glass is not only due to its expensive production cost, but also because it emits colors in sunlight.
Ye Wan smiled and said, "Who said I wanted to sell for a good price? If I wanted to sell or do business, there are plenty of ways I could do it. Your Highness is busy with official duties, and the palace is too dark with the windows covered in paper. Keeping the lamps on for a long time is bad for your eyes. If we could replace the glass with paper windows, wouldn't it be brighter?"
The craftsmen's eyes lit up when they heard this. Yes, such a transparent thing could be seen clearly even if you put your hand on it. If it were replaced with window paper, how bright it would be! You wouldn't need to light any lamps during the day.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Dequan was amazed.
This Lady Ye is extraordinary; given time, she will surely achieve great things.
Later, whenever King Jing looked up and saw the bright glass, he would think of this filial daughter-in-law, and he found his adopted son, Lin Anyuan, more and more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later.
...
...
After Grandpa Dequan left, Ye Wan, along with her two daughters and Hui Gu, went to Ge Yue's place and was given instructions.
"Mom, shall we pick up Auntie on our way and then go eat at Juxiangyuan Lamb Hot Pot?"
It snowed a few days ago, and it's been quite cold these past two days. As soon as you step out of the carriage, the cold wind stings your face.
When the weather gets cold, you need to eat something warm.
"Second sister, haven't you had enough of the food from the pot at home?" Sanya asked Erya.
Er Ya laughed, "Does eating at home and eating out taste different? Mom also likes eating out, so I'll treat you."
"Eating is my favorite thing. It's about experiencing all the flavors of life."
Ye Wan leaned lazily against the cushion, the red pendant on her forehead making her look radiant.
"Go pick up my older sister."
