Chapter 40
The Duke Arrives, "Aunt Liu" - Tears Well Up!

They say that good things bring good spirits,

When he woke up the next day,

Li Cheng Lin held a bronze mirror and looked at himself, finding that he seemed to have become even more handsome!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, with this peerless beauty, I'll be the most awesome killer wherever I go!"

Li Cheng Lin was self-absorbed.

"Fourth Prince, everything outside is ready."

"When will you change your clothes and set off to the Fan residence?"

A sweet voice came from the doorway, asking with a charming tone.

Li Cheng Lin couldn't help but look around. His prince's sleeping quarters…

Soon,

he would move out,

to live in his own Wangfu (royal palace),

here,

he would probably come back rarely in the future!

After purchasing everything yesterday, he had taken Zhen Zhen, Ai Ai, and Lian Lian to see the Wangfu.

Good heavens,

the Xiaoyao Wangfu, it was so grand!

Truly worthy of a Wangfu,

it was countless times larger than his current prince's quarters!

It was like a garden park,

it stunned the viewers in the live broadcast room, making them all exclaim that it was more beautiful than any scenic spot they'd been to!

Li Cheng Lin was also very satisfied with the Wangfu,

he decided that after he got the twenty Hu Wei (Tiger Guards),

he would move in right away!

"Change clothes now!"

"Then set off for the Fan residence!"

Li Cheng Lin said with a confident spirit.

Half an hour later,

Li Cheng Lin finished dressing up,

he specifically chose an outfit that was more luxurious and noble.

Unlike the last poetry gathering, where most of the people he met were commoners, he had dressed himself as a well-mannered scholar to appear approachable.

But,

this time he was going to the Fan residence!

Of course, he had to highlight the nobility of a royal son!

A black-gold long robe, paired with Li Cheng Lin's unparalleled handsome face, looked both valiant and elegant!

"Let's go!"

Li Cheng Lin got into the carriage and waved his hand.

Behind him,

a long line of transportation teams followed, a magnificent sight!

Leaving the palace,

he still had a long way to go,

before reaching the Fan residence,

Li Cheng Lin started his live broadcast!

As soon as the broadcast began,

the barrage was abuzz!

It seemed like,

many viewers had set broadcast reminders,

they were practically living in the live broadcast room!

"Wow, let me see which handsome young master this is? Oh oh oh, it's our Fourth Prince!"

"Hahaha, Fourth Prince, you're a bit late for the broadcast today!"

"Where are you going? In the carriage?"

"Where else could he be going? To propose to Ruoruo… ah, no, to take Ruoruo away!"

"To be honest, the streamer's looks are truly top-notch!"

"…"

Not only were the viewers in the live broadcast room excited to see Li Cheng Lin,

but also on the streets of the capital city,

it caused quite a stir!

Seeing such a long line of carriages pass, with carriages in the front and teams carrying goods in the back…

"Is this a wedding procession?"

"But I didn't see any happy character papers…"

"Hmm? The face that just peeked out of the carriage, it looks familiar!"

"It's the Fourth Prince!"

"I had the honor of seeing him at the door of the Jing Wang Shizi (Crown Prince)'s manor that day at the poetry gathering!"

"The Fourth Prince? You mean, the Qing Sheng (Romantic Prince)?"

"…"

As soon as these words were uttered,

many citizens instantly became excited!

These days,

the fame of the Romantic Prince spread like wildfire!

Especially among young men and women,

almost everyone had a copy of the "Romantic Prince's Words Anthology",

they could recite the love words inside word for word,

they clearly worshipped Li Cheng Lin,

as their idol!

"Romantic Prince!"

"Romantic Prince!"

"Romantic Prince!"

"Romantic Prince!"

"…"

It was unknown who started it, but soon, the entire street started chanting in unison, the sound was deafening, echoing through the sky, their voices filled with passionate admiration!

Even the servants who were driving the carriages,

stood tall with pride.

Meanwhile,

at the Fan residence!

Inside a fragrant boudoir.

Fan Ruoruo was holding a copy of the "Romantic Prince's Words Anthology" and staring at it intently.

She would giggle involuntarily as she read.

Especially,

thinking that all these love words,

were written for her,

she felt her heart flutter, she couldn't control her emotions, her eyes became glazed over.

Speaking of which,

quite some time had passed since the poetry gathering that day…

In her heart,

Fan Ruoruo had already considered it carefully,

as the daughter of a noble family,

her marriage was supposed to be arranged by her father,

although her father was open-minded,

he wouldn't force her into a marriage with a Shizi (Crown Prince) from any family for his own benefit,

but perhaps,

he wouldn't let her choose someone she liked either.

But now,

there was a man who was infatuated with her,

and she also liked him very much,

he was,

a member of the royal family,

her brother also supported her…

Therefore,

considering all of this,

Fan Ruoruo had no reason to refuse!

Since she wasn't refusing,

then of course…

she agreed!

Fan Ruoruo had made up her mind,

but what troubled her was that,

since that day,

the Fourth Prince hadn't come to see her again,

how could she,

tell him her answer?

She couldn't,

go to the prince's manor as a woman,

and tell him?

That would be too unladylike!

"Well, I should give you my answer…"

"But you don't come to find me…"

"How can I tell you?"

"Really!"

Fan Ruoruo pouted with a hint of resentment.

Yesterday,

she had heard her father and brother discussing something about him,

they said that,

the Emperor had given him a Tiger Guard order,

asking him to come to her father to take her,

she thought he would come yesterday,

Fan Ruoruo had hastily washed and dressed up,

but…

she waited with anticipation until nightfall,

she didn't see a shadow of him,

Fan Ruoruo was even more disappointed!

Could it be…

He forgot about me? !

Just as Fan Ruoruo was lost in her thoughts,

at this time,

a series of urgent shouts came from outside!

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

"What's wrong? Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"

It was her brother's voice!

"Reporting to young master, the Xiaoyao King is here, he's almost at the entrance to the residence now!"

"Xiaoyao King?"

"Oh oh, you mean the Fourth Brother!"

"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry? Who's here?"

Her father also came out from his study.

"Father, it's the Fourth Prince, he must be here to take you!"

Her brother said,

"Speaking of which, father, why are you in charge of the Tiger Guards when you're in the Ministry of Households?"

"Hmm… haha, I can't tell you about that!"

Her father chuckled,

"Come on, let's go greet him!"

"Alright!"

"…"

The two of them, along with their family and servants, all went out to greet him.

Hearing this,

Fan Ruoruo's heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat!

He's here!

He's here!

He finally came today!

Even her breath was hot, she quickly ran back to her inner room, sat down at the dressing table, and started getting ready…

At the entrance of the Fan residence!

As the Fan family stood in a row, greeting him with clasped hands,

from the carriage,

Li Cheng Lin got down happily.

If he was only a prince,

the Fan family wouldn't have needed to come out as a whole family,

but, he was now a king,

the king had arrived,

and he was here with the Emperor's order,

even Fan Jian had to go out personally to greet him.

"Greetings to the Fourth Prince!"

The Fan family chanted in unison.

"Lord Fan is too kind!"

"No need for ceremony!"

"Everyone, no need for ceremony!"

Li Cheng Lin laughed heartily, he went up to support his future father-in-law, he scanned the crowd but couldn't find Fan Ruoruo.

But he did see Liu Ru Yu.

Liu Ru Yu was originally the daughter of the Liu (Liu clan) Loyal and Courageous National Manor, her cousin was the noble concubine, the mother of the Third Prince Li Cheng Ping.

"Aunt Liu!"

After greeting Fan Jian, Li Cheng Lin specifically greeted Liu Ru Yu.

Liu Ru Yu was startled and hurriedly bowed her head.

Upon closer inspection,

she had a layer of mist in her eyes.

This scene,

made Fan Xian secretly praise him.

The Fourth Prince was truly a man of sentiment!

Although Aunt Liu had a noble background and was related to the royal family, she had married his father and was a concubine, not the main wife.

With the Fourth Prince's status,

he didn't need to greet her,

but the Fourth Prince not only greeted her,

but also directly called her "Aunt Liu" …

This was definitely because he remembered their blood ties.

Just for this,

Fan Xian's admiration for Li Cheng Lin increased significantly!

Fan Jian also glanced at Liu Ru Yu,

then at Li Cheng Lin,

then stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Fourth Prince, come in!"

"Tea is already prepared for you!"

Fan Jian smiled.

Li Cheng Lin nodded and waved to the people behind him.

"Bring the things in!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the team behind him pulled over!

Under the astonished gazes of Fan Jian, Fan Xian, and their family and servants, the team began to unload,

then boxes big and small,

were carried into the Fan residence one after another!
