He used to think that princesses lived deep within the palace, and that they were all simple-minded, innocent, and easy to fool—or rather, easy to get along with.
But he never expected that the princess would be so clever.
That's why he was so terrified this morning.
She truly deserves to be called the daughter of the First Emperor.
The Princess of Qin!
"Lord Li? Lord Li, you're back?"
As Li Lin pushed open the gates of the Censorate, several censors who were delivering bamboo slips saw him in person and immediately gathered around him excitedly.
Nowadays, which censor doesn't know that their family's Censor-in-Chief is now the First Emperor's son-in-law?
If we don't hurry up and show our filial piety, how can we do justice to the keen senses of these people with gray hair who have been immersed in officialdom for two or three decades?
"Lord Li, I heard you were summoned by Her Highness the Princess?"
"Hehehe, Lord Li, you've been gone all morning! I wonder if you had a pleasant chat with Her Highness the Princess?"
"Zhang San, what's wrong with your eyesight? Look closely, there are still a few fine strands of hair on Lord Li's body. Anyone with eyes can see that this is a case of 'dry wood meeting a raging fire'!"
"Could it be that Her Highness the Princess couldn't resist Lord Li's handsome appearance and promising future, and then..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Li Si, you're right. Think about it, when he goes to court in the morning, Lord Li is always full of energy, but now he looks so listless. Could it be that..."
Hehehe...
......
Li Lin was already in a bad mood. The wife he was going to marry was not only beautiful, but also exceptionally intelligent. Such a wife was good, but the problem was that she was the daughter of the First Emperor, and he would have a hard time controlling the situation.
Now that this group of people are making fun of him like this, how can he not be angry?
He immediately raised his head, glared at them fiercely, and shouted, "Bah! Shut your stinking mouths and go back to your duties! How dare you presume to discuss matters of the imperial family? Be careful, or the First Emperor will find out and your heads will be in danger!"
"Lord Li, please calm your anger. I admit my guilt!"
"Lord Li, please calm down! This humble official knows he was wrong!"
"Alright, alright, you all go do what you're supposed to do. By the way, where is the Imperial Censor now? I need to see him; I have important matters to discuss!"
"In the west wing!"
"Um!"
Li Lin is very happy right now. He feels it is necessary to confide in his older brother about the troubles caused by his future wife being too smart, and also ask his brother to help him buy a house.
After all, when I'm having fun with the princess in the future, I can't let this cheap older brother overhear me.
Fifteen minutes later.
The only sound in the courtyard was Li Xin's angry voice: "Get out, get out, you brat! I don't know what the princess and His Majesty saw in you that made you get such a great deal, and you're still acting all innocent in front of your older brother. Your older brother still hasn't gotten married yet! You brat, I'll teach you to be so cocky in front of me! I'll beat you to death!"
"Brother, brother! I'm telling the truth. The princess is too clever, and the situation is too complicated. You know me, I'm a gentleman, how could I possibly handle this?"
"You brat, I'll teach you to be so cocky! I'll teach you to be so cocky!"
Li Xin was furious. He had been staring at the dry bamboo slips all morning while his younger brother and the beauty went off to have fun. When he came back, he even said that the beauty was too clever and that he was afraid he couldn't control her!
Pooh!
Is this the man from my Li family?
If you can't even handle a little woman, how can you talk about having ambitions for the world?
"Big brother, I really wasn't showing off."
"Really not showing off?"
Li Xin stared at him with a suspicious look, then let go of his hand, pulled him to sit down beside him, and said calmly, "You just said that the princess tested you all morning. What did she test you on? Tell me about it, and I'll analyze it for you."
"Brother, it's like this..."
He recounted the events of the morning in detail.
Li Xin was greatly surprised. "Really? This princess is so beautiful and intelligent?"
"Yes, brother. She's so clever. From now on, we must refrain from discussing matters of the court at home! Especially your complaints about the First Emperor's appointment of treacherous officials like Zhao Gao and Li Si. If she hears them, it could lead to the extermination of our entire clan!"
"That's true!"
Li Xin pondered for a moment. He was a rough and unrestrained person, and he really did speak his mind without restraint at home.
He previously thought that marrying a princess and bringing honor to the Li family would bring glory to his ancestors.
I never expected it to be so troublesome.
"How about this? I'll buy you a new house in the east of the city. After you get married, you and the princess can move into the new house and live separately from me. What do you think?"
Li Xin regretted his words immediately after they left his mouth!
Because he saw Li Lin in front of him secretly smiling.
He immediately realized he had been tricked.
"You little rascal! I knew you were up to something with your crying and complaining. I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here. Fine, fine, what I, Li, say is what I say. I will arrange your residence in the east of the city this month!"
Li Xin shook his head in anger, but there was nothing he could do. After all, it was his own idea to buy him a house.
"Thank you so much, brother! You really are my good brother, my dear elder brother!"
Li Lin couldn't help but laugh, and then left satisfied.
Li Xin was left with a resentful look on his face, still muttering to himself: "Li Lin, you bastard, you little brat! You know your older brother isn't married yet, so you deliberately come to your older brother to show off your love and even trick him into buying you a house. You're so despicable and shameless! In this world, besides Li Si, you little brat are the most shameless!"
