Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Xue Yin smiled and did not answer.

The eunuch naturally knew that what he said was just for the occasion. He had heard it and lived with it, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

"By the way, the official handover document from the Prime Minister should be sent to the mansion later. The young prince remembers to think through every word written on it. Don't just take over the water transportation. There's trouble."

He paused for a moment before regaining his composure and began to give instructions seriously.

Xue Yin lowered his head inaudibly: "Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for the suggestion."

The eunuch did not stay in Prince Xiang's Mansion for long.

As soon as he stepped out of Prince Xiang's Mansion with his front foot, the slightly depressing atmosphere in the rear foot's palace was immediately broken.

Everyone was extremely excited, thinking that such a good job was going to be handed over to Xue Yin, and everyone rushed to the door to flatter him.

Xue Yin was a little confused by the current scene and could only ask the boy behind him to deal with it reluctantly.

"Okay, it's just that the water transportation matter has been left in Yiner's hands. Why are you guys so excited here? Could it be that you have forgotten that you still have things to do?"

Princess Xiang's voice came from far and near. Although her words were full of majesty, she still couldn't conceal her joy.

Although she had been living in the house for a long time, she heard the maid next to her talk about this matter. Now she was hurriedly wanting to come out to congratulate her, and saw this group of people surrounding Xue Yin.

"Princess, don't blame me. A few of us also felt that this incident was really surprising and happy, so we suddenly lost our sense of proportion..."

"Yes, if such a good job falls on the young prince's head, then the prime minister will probably get angry again, and the master will definitely be extremely happy."

"Sure enough, His Majesty is very discerning and knows that our young prince is not an ordinary person, so he entrusted such a good job to him. No one else can ask for this blessing."

A group of people started talking at random, and Princess Xiang felt helpless for a moment. She could only pretend to say a few words of blame and dismiss them one after another.

"Yin'er, your father said he has something to discuss with you. Please come with me for now."

Princess Xiang waited for a group of people to leave before she spoke to Xue Yin and led him into the study.

Prince Xiang was sitting behind the desk, his face full of satisfaction: "Yin'er, I didn't expect this. His Majesty actually handed over this job to you directly. The Prime Minister's face didn't stink. Seeing it.”

Prince Xiang spoke in an understatement, but he couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from rising.

"However, this matter of Cao Yun is not a small matter. His Majesty's handing it over to you is not a completely happy event. You must be more careful in the future and there must be no mistakes in this matter."

One second he was praising, and the next second it had turned into a relatively harsh admonishment.

The emperor has always attached great importance to matters such as water transportation, and now he will leave this matter to Xue Yin. On the one hand, it is naturally because the prime minister's secret actions have offended the emperor, and on the other hand, he wants to give Xue Yin a try.

If he can seize this opportunity now, the future will be limitless.

"The son understands what the father means." Xue Yin lowered his head slightly and said seriously.

"I know you have been smart since you were young, so you will definitely not be able to figure this out."

Prince Xiang curled his lips slightly, becoming more and more satisfied with him.

"The reason why you were able to get this job is because you are closely related to Jiang Lianzhu. Since you have recovered now, it is just a way of repaying the two kindnesses at the same time."

He then said again, with some hints in his words.

Although Jiang Lianzhu did not clearly stand on their side, the current situation was obviously in their favour, and such a capable person naturally had to take advantage of it.

If Xue Yin can get help from Jiang Lianzhu, the road ahead will only become smoother and smoother.

"Of course I have remembered what my father said about my son... But this meeting with Miss Jiang will be a bit abrupt. When Miss Jiang cured me of my illness, she should have given me a congratulatory gift. Isn't it right now?" Will it make people think you have ulterior motives?"

Xue Yin hesitated for a moment before asking, with a hint of red on his cheeks that he had never noticed.

"Tsk, how can this be regarded as an ulterior motive? If it weren't for Jiang Lianzhu telling the emperor about the good things the Prime Minister did, then this current errand would not be your fault. Even if it is not based on the kindness last time, What happened this time is enough to thank her for a while."

King Xiang said unhurriedly, having made this matter very clear.

After hearing this, Xue Yin did not hesitate and said a few more words to King Xiang before leaving.

Princess Xiang stood there without moving. Seeing that Xue Yin's figure completely disappeared, she spoke with some worry.

"Your Majesty, I think that Yin'er's feelings for Miss Jiang are unusual, and now he is so indulgent in their interactions. If some rumors spread in the capital, wouldn't it be detrimental to both of us?"

"You just don't understand this."

King Xiang shook his head meaningfully.

"He was fawning over Jiang Lianzhu on the surface, but in fact he was fawning over Liao Yunchuan as well. Yin'er could also see that their relationship was unusual, so naturally he would not ask for trouble. As for whether there would be any trouble in the capital. There will be some rumors, but with Liao Yunchuan here, there is no need to worry about this matter."

After hearing these words, Princess Xiang suddenly realized that it turned out that Prince Xiang had connected all these things together.

No wonder he was so confident just now.

the other side.

Xue Yin has already sent someone to write an invitation to Jiang Lianzhu.

It was an hour after Jiang Lianzhu received the invitation. She slowly opened the invitation, looked at the few lines written on it, and raised her eyebrows inaudibly.

Liu Qingqing was idle and bored at the side, so she simply leaned her head over and glanced at the invitation with a little curiosity.

"Shopkeeper, what good thing have you done now? People are coming to thank you."

Liu Qingqing just took a rough look at the words written on it and couldn't help but start joking.

Jiang Lianzhu then closed the invitation in her hand and looked helplessly into Liu Qingqing's eyes: "This is not just a so-called thank you."

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Liu Qingqing's eyes widened immediately, as if he knew something terrible.
