Lin Qingyang crashed into Prince Xiao An's arms, her forehead hitting his chest.

Lin Qingyang cried out "Ouch" and tried to break free, but Prince An would not let go.

"What, are you jealous?"

Xiao An Wang has a very magnetic voice.

"Who is jealous? Didn't you say you liked her? What if the old man takes it seriously?" Lin Qingyang said in a low voice.

"If you take it seriously, no one else will take it seriously." Little King An said with a smile.

"There's nothing to do these days. Send a message to your aunt in the Lin Mansion tomorrow and ask her to come out. After all, it's impossible for the old man and his family to live in the Lin Mansion, and your uncle's aunt is probably not someone who can afford to buy a property."

Lin Qingyang nodded.

When Xue got the news, she hurried to Prince An's mansion.

It wasn't far from Prime Minister Lin's residence to Prince An's residence. Xue sat in the sedan chair, feeling nervous all the way.

When they arrived at Prince An's Mansion, the imposing gate was more upscale than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although Aunt Xue had a son, who was also the only grandson of the Lin family, she was not favored. After all, it was because her family was not strong enough, and Tutor Lin just needed an heir. This man didn't seem to be very keen on husband and wife matters.

Aunt Xue asked someone to go to the door to explain the situation. Because arrangements had already been made at Prince An's Mansion, Aunt Xue entered the mansion smoothly.

This was the first time that Aunt Xue came to Prince An's Mansion. According to her status, she was not qualified to attend some banquets in the capital. Apart from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was difficult for her to enter other people's mansions.

After walking for a long time through the front and back yards, the main hall and the corridors, Aunt Xue thought to herself, "This palace is really magnificent."

I don’t remember which courtyard I entered, but I finally saw Lin Qingyang’s personal maid, Juer.

This is Lin Qingyang’s yard.

Aunt Xue entered the house under the guidance of Ju'er, where Lin Qingyang was waiting.

First, they had to pay their respects. No matter whether she was the daughter of the prime minister or the princess of the royal palace, Aunt Xue's status was not as high as Lin Qingyang's, so naturally she had to be polite.

"Go to that courtyard and call the old man and the others over, and tell them that their relatives have arrived." Lin Qingyang ordered.

The maid said "yes" and left.

"Aunt Xue, please take a seat. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Is everything going well at home?"

Lin Qingyang asked the maid to pour tea while she reminisced about the past with Aunt Xue. After all, she was her mother's family.

Aunt Xue was a little reserved. After all, this was a matter related to the royal palace, so she didn't dare act rashly. Moreover, all her thoughts were on her two relatives who had come to Beijing.

"Reporting to Princess, the old man at home is in good health, your uncle is also fine, and everything else is the same as before. Only your sister will go to the Crown Prince's Mansion to choose a concubine after the New Year. Now there is a nanny at home to teach her some rules."

Aunt Xue answered cautiously.

Lin Qingyang smiled slightly.

"Mrs. Xue has worked hard, too. Brother Yong'er is young and the only male in the family, so you have to worry about him."

Aunt Xue nodded.

"The princess has been back to the Lin family for a short time, but she has never disliked us mother and son. Now that she is a family member, she still cares about us, and we are grateful."

As they were talking, the maid brought the old man and the little girl into the yard.

It was a touching sight when relatives met each other. The two women hugged each other and cried bitterly, while the old man was wiping tears beside them.

Lin Qingyang just watched from the side.

After they calmed down, Lin Qingyang started to speak.

"Aunt Xue, the old man came to Beijing to seek refuge with you, but the prince and I have also thought that you can't leave the Lin Mansion often, so the old man naturally can't come in. It's better to let the old man stay in the palace and help with chores. The palace will not treat them badly, so you can rest assured and come to the palace if there is anything."

The three people listened quietly.

Aunt Xue said: "Thank you, my Lord and Princess, but they have disturbed me for so long..."

Lin Qingyang interrupted her.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you. They did their job. You should also prepare your monthly salary for Yong'er in the future. If I need your help in the future, I will ask for it."

After Lin Qingyang finished speaking, Aunt Xue looked up and thought to herself: How could a princess beg an aunt for help? But since she said so, she could only agree.

After arranging the meeting between the old man, Aunt Xue and others, Aunt Xue and Lin Qingyang sat alone for a while.

"Princess, although I am just a concubine, you treat me well, so I will speak frankly." Aunt Xue was much more relaxed than when she first entered the mansion.

"You can say whatever you want, Auntie."

"In fact, before you got married, I heard some legends about Prince An. When you married him, others said you were from the countryside and didn't know anything before you married him. Now it seems that the prince treats you well, and his reputation has improved."

Lin Qingyang just listened without saying anything. After all, he had also heard of Prince An’s “great achievements”.

"You have been married for almost half a year now. Take advantage of the fact that he is treating you well and have a child. Men are the most unreliable."

Aunt Xue's expression was serious, and she was speaking sincerely to Lin Qingyang.

Women in the world obey their husbands after marriage. No matter what their previous status and position were, if they want to consolidate their position, they still need offspring.

"Thank you, Aunt Xue, for your advice." Lin Qingyang said lightly.

Aunt Xue thought she was shy.

"You don't have to be shy. You've been married for half a year, so you should have some movement. If you're not feeling well, take care of yourself quickly. People in the capital can be sharp-tongued."

Lin Qingyang understood. It seemed that Aunt Xue had heard something. If an aunt who never went out had heard something, then it meant that others should have heard something as well.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Qing'er takes it to heart."

After seeing off Aunt Xue, Lin Qingyang sat there by herself wondering what the rumors outside were. She sat there in a daze, meditating, and she didn't even notice when Prince An came back.

"What are you thinking about? I've circled you three times, but you haven't responded at all?" Little King An tapped her forehead with his finger.

Lin Qingyang was frightened.

"You scared me. Why didn't you make any sound?" Lin Qingyang frowned.

Prince An looked at her and said, "You didn't react when I came to you, and you blamed me. The maid said that you sat there in a daze while your aunt was walking. What's wrong?"

Lin Qingyang raised his head and glanced at him.

"Is there anything new happening in Beijing recently?"

Little Prince An didn't know what she was asking about, so he said, "What aspects do you mean? I'll ask someone to find out."

Lin Qingyang glanced at him and said, "I have heard some rumors about Prince An's Mansion."

Prince Xiao An frowned: "Are there not enough rumors in my palace?"

Lin Qingyang rolled his eyes at him, "Is there anything related to me?"

King Xiao An asked, "What did you hear?"

Lin Qingyang blinked, "I asked because I don't know. Aunt Xue gave me a serious lecture today, hinting that there are rumors in the capital, but she didn't say it explicitly, so I'm curious and want to know what it is about."

Prince Xiao An looked at her and closed her eyes and said, "Don't ask anymore. It has nothing to do with you." Then he stood up and left.

Lin Qingyang didn't know why his expression suddenly changed behind him. "Who does it have to do with?"
