The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

.........

The Princess's Residence, East Courtyard.

"Princess, Lu Mu won't leave."

Lin Wanwan took a sip of the fragrant tea, her eyes fell indifferently on Lu Mu who was kneeling in the hall, her voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp but cold:

"stand up."

Lu Mu shook his head, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to say something, but it seemed as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

Nanny Li and Qingqing's eyes were filled with reluctance.

Lin Wanwan's expression was calm, like a calm lake, and her voice was lazily as she slowly said, "Take off your slavery and go back to take good care of your mother."

Hearing this, Lu Mu was silent for a while, his body trembling slightly, as if he was enduring great suffering: "My princess, you are so kind, Lu Mu will never forget it..."

Lin Wanwan pursed her lips and looked at Nanny Li: "Where is the indenture?"

Nanny Li's eyes were dim and lifeless. "It's in the hands of Steward Wang in the West Courtyard. I went to ask for it just now, but Steward Wang gave me a cold shoulder and refused to give it to me."

Qingqing pouted and said, "Princess, that housekeeper Wang is used to bullying people. Not to mention the three of us in the East Courtyard, even several girls in the West Courtyard have been bullied by him."

Lin Wanwan frowned upon hearing this, gently put down the teacup, and stood up with an unhappy look: "They... are in the West Courtyard?"

"Let's go to the west courtyard." Lin Wanwan said.

Over the past decade, the West Courtyard has been arrogant and domineering towards the East Courtyard, and the princess can only swallow her anger.

On that day, Steward Wang was punished because of his status as a princess. But it was different this time. Ye Zhaobo's family was having lunch, and they heard that there were distinguished guests in the West Courtyard.

Nanny Li, Lu Mu, and Qingqing were all anxious, fearing that the princess would suffer a great loss.

Lu Mu hurriedly said, "Princess, I will go and ask Steward Wang later. If he still refuses, I will ask Madam."

Nanny Li also advised: "Princess, they are having a family dinner over there, go later..." It's not too late.

Before he could finish his words, Lin Wanwan had already walked out of the room with a light figure.

Nanny Li, Qingqing, and Lu Mu hurriedly followed him out.

The west courtyard has red gates and high walls, which are majestic, and the scenery in the garden exudes the royal style.

Under the guidance of Nanny Li, Lin Wanwan soon arrived at their reception room, where musicians were playing melodious ancient music.

From time to time, the hosts could be heard talking in low voices, with laughter and joy all the time.

Outside the door, Lin Wanwan saw a huge round dining table placed in the center, and everyone was having their meal.

Maids shuttled back and forth, pouring wine and serving food to the guests.

"Why didn't anyone inform this princess if we're having a family banquet?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the sunlight was shining on Lin Wanwan's cascading black hair, giving it a faint luster and making her face a little flushed.

She raised her head slightly, and looked at everyone in the hall with her cold eyes, with a hint of loneliness in her expression.

Before anyone in the hall could say anything, Lin Wanwan had already stepped into the banquet hall.

Wang Yinyi was very displeased. Why did Lin Wanwan, who never set foot in the West Courtyard, suddenly dare to come at this time today?

She glanced at the distinguished guest today, and didn't want to get angry right away, so she just smiled complacently and said, "We know that the princess has always been in poor health, and today there are distinguished guests coming to the family dinner, so we didn't disturb the princess to rest."

Distinguished guest?

Lin Wanwan moved slowly and glanced at everyone with a cold look. There were indeed four people having the meal: Ye Zhaobo, the Censorate, his second wife Wang Yinyi, and their daughter Ye Sisi.

As for the fourth man, he was not their son Ye Zhan.

【System prompt: A handsome man has been detected.】

[Handsome man information:]

[Lin Xiaohe, 20 years old, identity, the crown prince of Xuanyue Dynasty. ]

[Task: None. 】

???

Why is there no task again?

Lin Wanwan looked at him. This man had a clean face, was in his twenties, and had thin lips. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he had an aura of majesty without even getting angry. At this moment, he was looking at her with a mysterious look.

When they looked at each other, Lin Wanwan felt that this gaze was judging her. She didn't like this gaze, frowned slightly, and said in a calm voice without a trace of emotion: "Madame Li, who is that person?"

Nanny Li took one look and quickly knelt on the ground with a plop, saying softly, "Princess, it's... it's the Crown Prince."

When Qingqing heard this, she shuddered all over, knelt down quickly and lowered her head.

A barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Wanwan's mouth. After two verifications, it seemed that the system's prompt was credible.

She thought about it for a moment and realized that he was the son of the emperor's uncle and she was also a cousin.

Seeing that she was silent, Wang Yinyi laughed at Lin Xiaohe and said, "Prince, our Sisi is gentle and virtuous, and can be counted among the noble ladies in Kyoto. But she is not like other people who are so unruly."

Lin Wanwan's gaze fell on Ye Sisi.

Ye Sisi always looks pitiful, with big watery eyes that seem like they could shed tears at any time.

"What nonsense are you talking about, mother?" Ye Sisi's voice was soft and gentle, with a faint smile on her slightly raised lips, looking innocent.

Ye Zhaobo glanced at Lin Wanwan and shook his hands: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you leave?"

Everyone thought that Lin Wanwan would leave, but she walked towards Lin Xiaohe with light and firm steps, without looking away.

"When did this princess's cousin become a family with them?"

Lin Xiaohe raised his eyes when he heard that. She just glanced at him indifferently and said these words that were related to each other, but there was no enthusiasm in her eyes, and there was even a hint of coldness.

Ye Zhaobo's expression changed drastically. Why did Lin Wanwan become so sharp-tongued now? He glanced at Lin Xiaohe beside him, his expression changed slightly, and he remained silent.

Today, Ye Zhaobo originally wanted to urge Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe to ask for a marriage at the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet four days later, so that his daughter Ye Sisi could become the Crown Princess.

In this way, he can also stand on Lin Xiaohe's side and become a helper in Lin Xiaohe's smooth ascension to the throne.

Now that he was interrupted by Lin Wanwan, Ye Zhaobo was naturally furious.

Ye Zhaobo waved to the musicians and stopped playing music.

He did not leave the servants behind, but started to curse at everyone:

"Shut up! Get back here! What are you doing here, servants?! You let the princess do whatever she wants. Hurry up and help her back to the East Courtyard. Don't anger the prince! Don't you want to lose your heads?!"

All the servants hung their heads in fear, their faces were pale, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they dared not breathe.

Qingqing almost collapsed to the ground.

Lu Mu also knelt down and clenched his fists tightly.

“Princess…Princess…” Nanny Li’s legs felt weak, her teeth chattered uncontrollably, and she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat that kept pouring out of her forehead.

She couldn't persuade the princess because of her temper. Nanny Li just hoped that the princess would give in, leave early and suffer less.

Wang Yinyi had a smile on her face. Just as she had imagined, the master would be furious when he saw her.

In the past, when Lin Wanwan saw Ye Zhaobo was angry, she would cry and run back to the East Courtyard. But after Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe left, she would definitely teach Lin Wanwan a lesson.

To her surprise, Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows at this moment, moved towards Lin Xiaohe, and said in a lazy voice that made it impossible to hear any other emotions:

"Ask this princess to get out? The eldest princess of this royal family is surnamed Lin, right?"

After saying that, her vast gaze fell on Lin Xiaohe again.

Lin Xiaohe looked at her deeply, but saw that she was looking at him calmly without moving her eyes.

Princess An Ning seems to be different from before.

It's quiet all around!

Everyone was waiting for Lin Xiaohe to speak.

Lin Xiaohe didn't answer, and Ye Zhaobo didn't dare to pick up the conversation rashly.

After all, Lin Wanwan was the legitimate daughter of the eldest princess, and was personally conferred the title of Princess An Ning by the late emperor when she was one year old.

Although the current Queen Mother and His Majesty do not like her.

But in terms of relationship, even the current emperor has to treat Lin Wanwan well for the sake of the late emperor and the eldest princess.

At this time, Lin Xiaohe's face was very gloomy. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, he couldn't show it.

Lin Xiaohe was naturally aware of Lin Wanwan's situation, but Lin Wanwan was not of much help to him.

However, when Ye Zhaobo told Lin Wanwan to get out in front of him, it was indeed an insult to his own face.

Wang Yinyi had a smile on her face. She thought that Lin Wanwan's words in front of the master were tantamount to using a knife to cut her neck.

Everyone knows that the Princess's family name is Lin on the surface, but actually, it has been Ye for many years.
