"Little brother, you must come to Beijing to find me ten years later." Lin Zan poked a furry head out of the carriage, and then waved his little hand towards Lang Ya's figure.

Jun Beiqi, who was sitting in the carriage, saw this scene, and the depression in his heart instantly became more intense. He pulled Lin Zhan back into his arms and held him.

Little Lin Zhan naturally couldn't escape from Jun Beiqi's arms. He could only puff up his little face and look up at him like a puffer fish.

"You are so bold to make a ten-year agreement with another man in front of me." Jun Beiqi said coldly and tightened his arms a little.

When Lin Zhan heard Jun Beiqi's words, he was stunned for a moment, then he started to giggle and said in a childish voice while counting his fingers. "Langya is only eight years old now, which is at most a boy, not a man."

"In my eyes, it counts." Jun Beiqi snorted coldly, then hugged Lin Zhan in his arms regardless of anything and refused to let go.

Lin Zhan muttered, "It's really weird, but I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you."

Thinking that Si Xueyi's flower guardian would become his own in ten years, Lin Zan felt extremely happy and soon fell asleep in Jun Beiqi's arms.

The bumpy carriage did not affect Lin Zhan's good sleep. Her soft body exuded a suitable temperature, warming Jun Beiqi's chest.

Jun Beiqi's movements also became gentler. He lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Zan in his arms, and couldn't help but smile.

The journey back was very smooth. They arrived in Shangjing a month later and were warmly welcomed by the people after entering the city.

It was obvious that the news of the disaster relief in the southwest had already been reported back to the capital, and the people were all impressed by the prince's clear rewards and punishments and his care for the people.

After entering Shangjing, Lin Zhan's body was still lazy and soft. She yawned, and Bixia beside her had already taken out a wet handkerchief and said carefully, "Miss, the emperor ordered us to see him directly, Miss, you have to wake up."

"Oh, it's okay. The emperor's brother-in-law dotes on me very much. Plus, I have made a contribution this time. The emperor's brother-in-law will definitely reward me, hehe." Lin Zan said happily.

Everyone quickly entered the palace, and the emperor summoned them to meet him in the imperial study. Lin Zhan was small in stature, but he imitated adults in bowing and saluting, which made the emperor laugh.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood at the moment, Lin Zhan ran to the emperor with her short legs, pouting and saying coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, I was very sleepy on the way back, but when I heard that you wanted to see me, I hurried over."

"Haha, it turns out that Xiaozhan is so well-behaved and sensible. I am very pleased." The emperor smiled and bent down to pick up Lin Zhan. Everyone saw his doting look.

Jun Beiqi, who was standing there properly, recounted the details of the disaster relief trip to the southwest in a slightly low voice. The emperor listened while teasing Lin Zan.

In order to increase the importance of the prince in the emperor's heart, Lin Zhan would occasionally interject. "Brother-in-law of the emperor, the prince is very hardworking. He not only punished corrupt officials, but also treated the people infected by the plague. The prince is really great!"

Lin Zhan clapped her hands in the emperor's arms, and the emperor smiled. "Yes, the prince did a very safe job on this trip to the southwest. It seems that the prince has grown up. Then I can rest assured to hand over some state affairs to the prince."

Upon hearing this, Jun Beiqi couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face, but soon his calm character made him remain calm and bow his head to express his gratitude.

The journey back was so tiring that Lin Zhan soon began to yawn in the emperor's arms, his eyes half closed and half open, and his little head moved noddingly, very cutely.

The virtuous concubine, who had been quietly sitting in the imperial study room as if she didn't exist, smiled faintly and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Zhan'er seems to be sleepy. Why don't you let me take her back to the palace to rest?"

"Well, you take Xiaozhan back first." The emperor nodded, and then handed the confused Linzhan to the virtuous concubine.

Liu Qiuchan personally took Lin Zhan in and held her against his chest lovingly. Then he took his leave and left the imperial study with Lin Zhan.

Only Jun Beiqi and the emperor were left in the imperial study. The two of them talked for a while in the imperial study, and no one knew what they talked about.

But on the next day, the emperor handed over the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue to the prince, which shows that the emperor had already intended to use the prince.

At the same time, the emperor also generously rewarded the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, including Lin Zan.

Jun Beiqi did not embezzle Lin Zhan's credit. He told the emperor that Lin Zhan used all the grain from his hundred acres of land to treat the victims.

The emperor was very pleased and directly rewarded Lin Zhan with another hundred acres of fertile land. So now Lin Zhan has nearly three hundred acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Shangjing, and countless kinds of Lingluo silks.

"I am getting closer and closer to my goal of becoming a small landlord." Lin Zhan happily took the deeds in his hand and locked them into a small box.

Just then, there was a noise outside the house. It turned out that Empress Zhang had arrived.

Empress Zhang's original name was Zhang Yunjin. She was the legitimate daughter of Zhang Huaishan, the Minister of Works. She entered the palace two years ago and was named a beauty as soon as she entered. She was favored by the emperor for her changeable and charming personality.

However, people in the palace did not call her Concubine Zhang, but Empress Zhang, which showed her favor in the palace.

Madam Zhang gently opened the curtain with her red cardamom-stained hands and walked in with a bright smile on her face.

"Ms. Lin is finally back. I have been waiting for Miss Lin for a long time." Madam Zhang smiled, took a few quick steps to Lin Zhan, and held her hand affectionately.

Lin Zhan quietly withdrew his hand, raised his little face and said in a baby voice, "The weather is getting colder, why is Madam Zhang here?"

"Of course I came to see Miss Lin. If it weren't for Miss Lin's help, I wouldn't have been able to give birth to a princess smoothly." Empress Zhang said with a smile, and the maid behind her was very considerate and brought a few more thick clothes made of Shu brocade.

Lin Zhan pretended to be innocent and touched the clothes happily. "Madam Zhang, these clothes are so beautiful, are they for me?"

"Of course it's a thank you gift to you. You saved my life and the princess' life. No matter how I thank you it's not excessive." Empress Zhang smiled and tried the clothes on Lin Zan. The atmosphere in the room was full of joy.

But only Lin Zhan knew that this was all an illusion.
