Prefect's Mansion.

The carriage slowly stopped outside the house.

Wang Cheng walked quickly to the carriage and opened the curtain.

"His Royal Highness, we are here!"

Lin Jiangnian got up and got off the carriage, raised his eyes, and saw a towering and majestic palace gate, beautiful decorations, and the words "Prefect's Palace" with gold edges, exuding an aura of majesty inside and out.

"As expected of the Xunyang Prefecture, it is truly extraordinary."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it a few times and had something to say.

Wang Chengdang didn't hear it, so he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the Grand Administrator has been waiting at your residence for a long time, preparing food and wine to welcome His Highness."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him with a smile on his face, then looked at the door without saying anything.

How long will you wait?

Except for a few guards, there was no one outside the gate of this huge prefect's mansion.

In name, the banquet was held to welcome the wind and wash away the dust, but the Xunyang Prefect’s attitude seemed a bit like giving him a blow?

Since it is a banquet, it is a guest. The guest has arrived at the door. As the host, how does the prefect treat the guest like this?

He, the Governor of Xunyang, really has a lot of airs!

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian's smile became even brighter.

"Okay, your lord, the prefect, is interested. I, my lord, will have a good conversation with you!"

After saying this, Lin Jiangnian took the lead in stepping into the prefect's mansion.

Wang Cheng followed behind him, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words of His Highness the Crown Prince. Everyone in the world had heard that this Crown Prince was a loser with no ambitions, and had an irritable and fragile personality... But what he saw today seemed a little strange.

wrong?

He didn't get angry?

Wang Cheng quickly concealed the doubt in his eyes and followed closely.

In the prefect's mansion.

Lin Jiangnian walked in the front, Wang Cheng followed closely behind, Lin Qingqing and Xiaozhu also followed closely.

The little maid blinked curiously and looked around, while Lin Qingqing stared at the surroundings intently, not slacking off at all.

The Xunyang Governor invited His Highness to a banquet for no reason. He probably had some ulterior secrets that he had to guard against.

"Your Highness, we are here!"

Passing through the pavilion and corridor, we soon arrived at a courtyard gate.

Wang Cheng stopped, lowered his head and said, "The prefect has been waiting for His Highness for a long time."

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked inside the door.

At the same time, a hearty laughter came from the door.

"His Royal Highness has arrived?"

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man walked out of the courtyard quickly, his eyes falling on Lin Jiangnian: "Are you His Royal Highness Prince Lin?"

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The middle-aged man bowed his hands.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He looked restrained and energetic. There seemed to be a tired look in the corners of his eyes, and he guessed something in his mind.

"Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness was passing through Xunyang City for his visit to the capital this time, so he specially ordered his servants to wait for a long time and invite him to gather at His Highness's house. I apologize for disturbing His Highness."

Wang Shiquan said with a smile on his face.

Lin Jiangnian also had a smile on his face: "Sir, I'm here for the first time. I'm here for the first time. I have a busy schedule to meet you, but it's time for me to trouble Mr. Wang!"

"Your Highness, it's no trouble, no trouble!"

"..."

Lin Qingqing and Xiaozhu stood aside, quietly watching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Xunyang Prefect talk about business with each other. Both of their faces were as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time, and they exchanged polite words one after another.

Passionate yet hypocritical!

The little maid tilted her head and blinked her eyes. Lin Qingqing lowered her head slightly, but she kept staring at the Xunyang Prefect from the corner of her eyes...

So enthusiastic, there are questions!

Wang Shiquan looked at the young, handsome, and good-looking Crown Prince in front of him, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He seems to be looking down upon His Royal Highness!

After just a brief contact with the Crown Prince in front of him, he must have made a judgment in his mind...

His Royal Highness Prince Lin is far from being as simple as he seems on the surface!

He was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was able to move forward and retreat in a measured manner. He was able to talk to him with ease, without showing the slightest hint of timidity, and without the slightest hint of arrogance like Prince Lin.

It is extremely difficult to have such a character and thoughts at such a young age. There are rumors in the outside world that Prince Lin is uneducated and incompetent. I am afraid this rumor is wrong!

Has this Prince Lin been hiding his clumsiness?

Having made the judgment, Wang Shiquan's heart sank slightly, and he put away the last trace of contempt in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness has come a long way, do you want to wash up and rest first to wash away the dust? I have prepared a meal and a banquet for His Highness to wash away the dust!"

Faced with Wang Shiquan's enthusiasm, Lin Jiangnian remained calm and said with a smile: "That's fine. Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your hospitality!"

"..."

Prefect's Mansion.

Side courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian felt refreshed after taking a bath and changing his clothes. He sat at the table. Xiaozhu followed His Highness, helping His Highness tidy up his clothes and hair.

The little maid served His Highness very seriously and was meticulous.

Lin Qingqing appeared on the side of the room and said with a worried look on her face: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this Xunyang Prefect has some intentions. The person who comes here is not good. You should be careful!"

Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and said calmly: "I know."

He naturally knew that there was something wrong with the Xunyang Prefect.

If you show your courtesy for nothing, there must be something evil!

"Then Your Highness, you need me to go down..."

"No need for now."

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly and looked in the mirror with a faint smile: "Let's take a look first to see what his purpose is."

"After all, this is the Xunyang Prefecture. No matter how courageous Wang Shiquan is, he would not dare to attack this prince!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, confident.

Now the news has spread that Prince Lin Wang has entered the prefect's mansion. As a result, Lin Jiangnian is not only fine, but also very safe.

If anything happens to him here, Wang Shiquan will be blamed. No matter how courageous Wang Shiquan is, he will never dare to go against the palace.

He couldn't afford the consequences.

"But……"

Lin Qingqing was hesitant. Although this was the truth, no one knew what Wang Shiquan wanted to do. Now that His Highness was deep into the Prefect's Mansion, his safety was not guaranteed.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

Lin Jiangnian seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Wang Shiquan, by leaving my son here, is playing into my own hands!"

"My prince must take a good look at this scene!"

"..."

On the other side, the backyard.

"Sir, how is Prince Lin doing?"

Zheng Chang appeared in the backyard and came to Wang Shiquan's side.

Wang Shiquan put his hands behind his back, furrowed his brows, and said solemnly: "This kid should not be underestimated!"

Zheng Chang was startled, and then he concentrated his mind and said, "Sir, what do you mean...that Prince Lin is hiding his clumsiness?"

Wang Shiquan narrowed his eyes: "It's possible!"

Zheng Chang seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly: "If this is true, then they... Prince Lin and his son are probably playing a big game of chess?!"

Wang Shiquan seemed to have thought of something and said in a deep voice: "In the past ten years, as Lin Heng was crowned king again, his power in the south has grown stronger and stronger, threatening the safety of the dynasty..."

"If Prince Lin is really trying to dispel the imperial court's fears, he deliberately pretends to be a fool...it is not impossible!"
