"That's right. Sigh …. It's not easy to be born in the royal family. "Old Master Lin looked at the dazed little Emperor and shook his head. Even a fool could see that the little Emperor was simply a puppet that could not be supported. When he faced Prince Li, he was frightened like a cicada in winter. Prince Li probably did not treat the little Emperor well. It was better if he stayed in the royal palace with the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager watching over him. Now that he was in the Prince Li Manor, who knew how long he could live.
Ye Li lowered her head and thought for a while. She looked at Wei Lin behind her. Wei Lin went forward and bowed. Ye Li whispered a few words in Wei Lin's ear. Wei Lin nodded silently and returned to his original position. Old Master Lin looked curiously at the two guards behind Ye Li. He felt that this young master Chu was more and more mysterious.
"Young master Chu," Zhang Baiwan, who had just been beaten, came over with a pale face. He smiled and said, "Thank you young master Chu for putting in a good word for me in front of the Regent." Because Zhang Baiwan had just offended Mo Jingli, no one dared to say anything to him. And Zhang Baiwan did not have a good relationship with others. Otherwise, even if he was confused at that time, someone would have reminded him. Zhang Baiwan was most likely used as a pawn by these people. But the banquet was not over yet. Zhang Baiwan, who was injured, did not dare to leave. He sat alone in a corner and looked very miserable. At this time, he reluctantly came forward to thank Ye Li.
Ye Li smiled and nodded, "Lord Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. It was just a small matter."
Zhang Baiwan smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master's effort saved this old man's life. In the future, if young master Chu needs anything, I will not refuse. " Ye Li snickered. This Zhang Baiwan wasn't really muddle-headed. However, she didn't take his last sentence seriously. With Zhang Baiwan's money-loving personality, he wouldn't suddenly change just because of a beating.
"I wouldn't dare. Lord Zhang, you don't have to be so polite."
Zhang Baiwan looked at Lord Lin beside him and said with a smile, "If Young Master Chu has the time, this old man will prepare a small banquet for Young Master Chu." Ye Li pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Lord Zhang then."
Seeing that Ye Li had agreed, Zhang Baiwan happily returned to his seat.
Old Master Lin looked at Zhang Baiwan and couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect this Zhang Baiwan to be so generous after being beaten up. I'm afraid that after so many years, Young Master Chu is the first person who is fortunate enough to be treated by him willingly. "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lin is joking."
Old Master Lin shook his head and said, "This Zhang Baiwan has never done anything without benefits. Young Master Chu should be careful." Ye Li nodded and thanked Old Master Lin for his reminder. Although Old Master Lin also had some other thoughts, he reminded her with good intentions in the end. In this world, there was no kindness without a reason.
Zhang Baiwan was also considered a celebrity in Nanjing. Ye Li naturally had some understanding of him. It was true that he was grateful to her for saving his life, but she was afraid that he was more interested in the Chu family.
Old Master Lin thought for a moment and looked at Ye Li with a smile. He whispered with a smile, "I heard that Zhang Baiwan seems to have a young lady waiting to be betrothed …" Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Ye Li already understood his meaning.
In fact, after seeing Ye Li today, there were many people who had such thoughts. After all, although Chu Junwei was only a side branch of the Chu family, his background was not something that merchants like them, who were looked down upon by others, could compare to. Moreover, this Young Master Chu was handsome and elegant. Even King Li seemed to treat this Young Master with respect. Needless to say, the Chu family and the Xu family were inextricably linked in countless ways. Such a good son-in-law was naturally the object of everyone's desire. Even Old Master Lin himself had such thoughts. It was a pity that he had two daughters. His elder daughter had already married a few years ago, while his younger daughter was not even ten years old. He could only sigh and wring his wrists.
Hearing Old Master Lin's words, Ye Li couldn't help but be stunned and speechless. She really hadn't thought about this problem. After all, no matter how much she pretended to be a man, she was still a woman. No woman would think that someone would want to marry their daughter to her. But now, hearing Old Master Lin's words … Ye Li turned to look at Zhuo Jing and Wei Lin.
The two of them also had strange expressions. After a while, Wei Lin slowly said: "Gongzi's style is outstanding, and his handsomeness is matchless. Naturally, he is the object of admiration of many parents." So wang ye not only had to guard against men, but also against women? Wei Lin and Zhuo Jing couldn't help but secretly sympathize with their Prince.
Ye Li shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your reminder, Old Master Lin. This one understands."
Old Master Lin chuckled. He covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "This one was just saying something for nothing. Originally, I said that I would rather tear down a temple than ruin a marriage. However, this daughter of Zhang Baiwan … Hehe … Young Master, please reconsider."
In the opposite corner, Zhang Baiwan obviously noticed that Old Master Lin might be talking about his family. He glared at him fiercely. Old Master Lin didn't mind and continued to drink his wine. Ye Li shook her head helplessly and raised her wine cup to Zhang Baiwan.
Everyone present was surprised to see this. They didn't expect Young Master Chu to see the stingy and miserly Zhang Baiwan in a different light.
