Chapter 34
Are You Using This to Test Cadres?

“Hahaha, streamer, are you even speaking human words? What do you mean you’re worried he’ll spend too much money?!”

“Our Fourth Prince is treating everyone like his money bag!”

“Blindly guessing, will the streamer become the first ever prince in history to be beaten to death for always borrowing money and not repaying it?!”

“It’s not impossible! (Blushing, jpg)”

“In the future, people will see the Fourth Prince and turn around and run, afraid of being asked for money…”

“Hilarious, but speaking of which, what industry is the streamer going to start?”

“Yeah, does the Fourth Prince have any plans?”

“……”

【Happiness Value +1 +1 +1 +1 +1…】

In the live stream,

laughter filled the air.

At that time,

the number of viewers online had already reached 260,000.

Now on the bullet screen,

besides the newly arrived viewers, who were still questioning if Li Cheng Lin truly time-travelled, the old fans had stopped mentioning it.

This scene, this lineup…

Frankly,

if he didn’t actually time-travel,

how much would it cost to create such a spectacle?!

“What industry I’m going to start, you’ll know in a couple of days.”

“It’ll be a surprise, I guarantee it!”

Li Cheng Lin first kept everyone in suspense.

At this moment,

Zhen Zhen, Ai Ai, and Lian Lian walked over.

“Fourth Prince!”

The three little maidservants

were now wearing their own clothes.

Moreover,

Li Cheng Lin discovered that their eyes were red.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why are you crying?”

“Fourth Prince, the love words you wrote for Miss Ruo Ruo are so moving!”

“Every word is filled with deep affection!”

“Yes, Fourth Prince, we never expected you to be so deeply in love!”

The three beautiful young ladies said tearfully.

“Haha, of course!”

“I, well, I don’t have any other merits, my greatest strengths are my devotion and deep affection!”

Hearing that it was because of this,

Li Cheng Lin was amused,

he pulled the three little maidservants into his arms,

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

He gave each one a kiss on their face!

The three maidservants’ faces turned red,

“Fourth Prince, if you marry Miss Ruo Ruo in the future, won’t you stop letting us serve you?”

“Of course not!”

Li Cheng Lin said confidently,

“You are all the women in my heart, how could I possibly abandon you?!”

“Wah, Fourth Prince, you’re so good at flattering people!”

Lian Lian was a reader, with every move and expression, she somewhat resembled Daiyu, she said,

“Since they are in your heart, then there should only be one person in your heart!”

Who knew,

Lian Lian had just finished speaking,

Li Cheng Lin waved his hand, and seriously explained,

“That’s incorrect!”

“My heart is different from others!”

“My heart is made of durian!”

“It doesn’t have much of anything, only a lot of thorns!”

Pfft!

The three maidservants couldn’t hold back their laughter, they giggled uncontrollably in Li Cheng Lin’s arms.

This scene,

watching it in the live stream, the viewers were so frustrated they gritted their teeth!

“Damn, this guy is flirting with little girls again!”

“I’m envious, I’m so envious!”

“Is there any justice in this world? Hurry up and send a Grandmaster to beat this guy up!”

“Hahaha, that’s a difficult request, he’s a prince, which Grandmaster would dare to go to the Imperial Palace to beat him?”

“Holy shit, your heart is made of durian! (Blushing, jpg)”

“Just tell us if there are a lot of thorns!”

“The streamer is so shameless, hugging three little beauties, and yet he claims to be devoted and affectionate!”

“I spit, 渣男 (scum)! ”

“……”

“Fourth Prince!”

“Fourth Prince!”

“Lord Hou is here!”

At this moment, a voice came from outside.

“Lord Hou?”

Li Cheng Lin muttered,

“What is he doing here?”

Speaking of which,

Li Cheng Lin released the three maidservants and strode out.

“This old servant greets the Fourth Prince!”

Lord Hou was indeed in the courtyard, covered in dust and sweat.

“What’s wrong, Lord Hou, something happened?”

“Fourth Prince, this old servant is here to convey His Majesty’s imperial decree!”

Lord Hou raised the imperial decree,

Li Cheng Lin was astonished,

and reached out to take it.

“Hey, Fourth Prince…”

“Isn’t it for me?”

“It is for you, but this old servant hasn’t read it yet, and you haven’t received the decree!”

“Well, I’ve received it now!”

Li Cheng Lin said thoughtfully,

“Save you the trouble of reading it, you’re quite old, and you’re covered in dust and sweat, it’s really hard on you, you can sit down and rest first.”

Lord Hou was speechless.

However,

there were no outsiders here, and he dared not grab it back, he could only awkwardly rub his hands beside him.

“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor Decrees——”

Li Cheng Lin loudly read the imperial decree himself,

“Because Fourth Prince Li Cheng Lin acted without propriety during the Poetry Gathering, disregarding the face of the royal family, and publicly discussing matters of love between men and women, he shall be fined one year’s salary!”

“I’m so annoyed!”

“Fining my salary!”

“And for a whole year?!”

Li Cheng Lin was flabbergasted!

Lord Hou beside him was so frightened his soul flew out,

“Your Highness!”

“Watch your language!”

Lord Hou hurriedly looked around,

“Don’t swear!”

“Also, don’t stop in the middle of the decree, you have to read it in one go!”

“Alright…”

Suppressing the frustration in his heart,

Li Cheng Lin continued reading,

“But, in consideration of his literary talent and his mature age, this Emperor has given it much thought and decided to grant him a princely title, bestow upon him a princely manor, and bestow upon him the right to participate in court discussions!”

“Because he is deeply in love, enjoys his carefree life, is idle and lazy, and is not a scholar, his title shall be… the Duke of Tranquility!”

“So decreed!”

Hearing Li Cheng Lin read it in one go,

Lord Hou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fourth Prince, quickly give thanks!”

Lord Hou reminded him.

But Li Cheng Lin stood there motionless.

He was

somewhat stunned.

I, I’m a prince?!

The Duke of Tranquility?!

“I’m so annoyed!”

After a long time,

Li Cheng Lin excitedly slapped his thigh, “I’m a prince, I’m actually a prince!”

“Hey, it’s not done yet, not done yet, Your Highness, you have to thank the Emperor first, and don’t swear!”

“Right, right!”

“Your son thanks Father Emperor!”

Li Cheng Lin shouted excitedly, “Long live Father Emperor, long live, long live!”

“That’s right!”

Lord Hou was relieved, a smile appeared on his face,

“Congratulations to the Duke of Tranquility!”

“Now that you’ve become a Duke, you have to remember to act with more decorum in the future, don’t let people criticize you.”

“Of course!”

Li Cheng Lin flicked his long sleeves, looking extremely domineering,

“This Duke has always been very dignified!”

“Lord Hou!”

“This old servant is here!”

Lord Hou’s heart skipped a beat, he suddenly had a bad feeling, then he heard Li Cheng Lin say,

“According to palace rules, now that this Duke is a Duke, the civil and military officials, shouldn’t they come to this Duke to offer gifts and congratulations?”

“Ah?”

“They can’t not send gifts!”

Li Cheng Lin turned to look at Lord Hou,

“This Duke can choose not to accept them, but they can’t not send them, not sending them means they look down on this Duke!”

“……”

Lord Hou immediately understood, he hurriedly took out the lucky money Fan Xian gave him earlier, it was still warm, and handed it over.

“Lord Hou, are you testing this Duke with this?”

Lord Hou understood again,

with a painful expression, he pulled out the few silver notes in his other sleeve.

A total of 5,000 taels.

“Your Highness, this old servant really has no more!”

“Look what you’re saying, would this Duke complain about being shortchanged?”

Li Cheng Lin finally smiled and took the money.

Moments later,

Lord Hou left in a panic, looking disconsolate, he swore he would never carry silver notes on his body again.

As soon as he left,

Li Cheng Lin’s expression immediately turned gloomy.

At that time,

in the live stream,

the viewers hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation.

The bullet screen was filled with a burst of excitement!

“Congratulations to the Duke of Tranquility!”

“Congratulations to the Duke of Tranquility!”

“Congratulations to the Duke of Tranquility!”

“Congratulations to the Duke of Tranquility!”

“Congratulations to the Duke of Tranquility!”

“……”

The viewers were chanting in unison.

In addition,

many viewers,

started to give crazy gifts!

【Tea Tea Pig who loves drinking Liu Bao Tea donated a sports car to the streamer, leaving a message: Duke of Tranquility, amazing!】

【Kun’s Basketball Trainee donated a rocket to the streamer, leaving a message: Congratulations, congratulations!】

【Ultraman Beats Up Animals donated a Super Rocket to the streamer, leaving a message: Streamer, when will you be crowned Emperor?】

【…】

Colorful gift effects popped up one after another!

Until,

finally, some viewers noticed that Li Cheng Lin’s expression wasn’t right, the live stream gradually quieted down.

“What’s wrong, streamer?”

Many viewers started asking.
