"Don't Lord Lin know me anymore?" Zhao Yanli chuckled.

"How can it be? It's just that His Royal Highness came to this post house in person, and the lower officials were really surprised. Lin Xiqi said.

It was a surprise indeed.

According to what he meant, he only needs to connect with Zhao Yanli.

As for Zhao Yanli, she didn't have to come over in person at all, it was almost enough to send a henchman over to bring the words back.

"I finally sneaked out of the palace once, and it was still night, which was really exciting. Zhao Yanli said with a smile.

"Princess, please have tea. Su Qingmei went out and brought another cup of tea.

Zhao Yanli glanced at Su Qingmei and Su Qinglan, then looked at Lin Xiqi and said, "Lord Lin is really a blessing. ”

"Ahem, Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for a long time when you come out this time, let's hurry up and get down to business?" Lin Xiqi coughed lightly.

"Isn't what I just said serious?" asked Zhao Yanli.

These words made the Su family sisters' faces blush slightly.

"Just kidding. Zhao Yanli noticed the embarrassed appearance of the two girls, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Lin is right, I can't stay too long when I come out this time, if I am discovered, I will be punished when I go back." Say, what's the matter with me this time? Say it first, ask me for help, but you have to give me benefits. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiqi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Zhao Yanli was not interested in money, wealth and silver, and when she attributed the property of Tianhe Firm to her name, she actually did not take away a cent of Tianhe Firm.

However, Zhao Yanxu took a lot of silver taels from Tianhe Firm.

Of course, Lin Xiqi knew about this matter, and it was also agreed by him.

Since he supports Zhao Yanxu, he definitely needs to give some support.

Zhao Yanxu started too late compared to his brothers, and both human and financial resources were too far behind.

Although his power has improved greatly over the years, it also costs a lot of silver.

Without the corresponding silver taels, it is impossible to manage its own forces at all.

Otherwise, Zhao Yanchi would not have gotten money everywhere, even if he used some special means, such as Hu Wo's subordinates.

Zhao Yanxu can't compare with Zhao Yanchi now, and he will definitely not be able to solve these silver gaps on his own.

Therefore, the two large parts of the silver earned by Tianhe business over the years have supported Zhao Yanxu.

Zhao Yanli also knew about it, but she had a good relationship with Zhao Yanxu, so she didn't have any opinions.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Highness has been ready for a long time. Su Qingmei immediately stepped forward and handed a delicate box to Zhao Yanli.

"I really have a heart, but I'll say it first, not everything can fool me. Zhao Yanli opened the box directly.

When she saw something reasonable, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, it's so beautiful, this is a moonshine cup." ”

Zhao Yanli immediately carefully picked up one of the moonlight cups in the box with both hands.

I saw that this moonlight cup was sparkling, and under the background of the candle flame in the house, the crystal clear cup wall was shining, and there seemed to be stars dotted in it, flickering bright and dark.

"This is a pair of top-quality moonlight cups from the Western Regions, can the princess still be able to see it?" Lin Xiqi asked with a smile.

Zhao Yanli found that she was a little out of shape, so she immediately restrained her demeanor, put a moonlight cup in her hand back into the box, and said, "Well, it's not bad, you have a heart." ”

Lin Xiqi did not expose Zhao Yanli.

These two moonshine cups are said to have flowed from the palace of the Persian kings.

Some time ago, the situation in Persia was turbulent, and many treasures in the royal palace were smuggled out for sale, and this pair of moonshine cups was just one of them.

It was the senior brother who bought it at a cost after seeing it.

Such a treasure should be extremely precious even in the palace.

Although Zhao Yanli's face regained calm, she was still very excited in her heart.

Of course she'd seen moonshine cups, and she had some on her mother's side.

It's just that she thinks that the pair of moonlight cups that Lin Xiqi gave her seems to be better than the queen mother's. Jiuhe Library

When I go back, I can surprise my mother.

"I guess what you want me to do. Zhao Yanli said, "It must have something to do with Seventh Brother." ”

"Yes. Lin Xiqi said with a smile, "This time, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince sent an invitation, but unfortunately, I still can't go directly to congratulate." ”

"You are self-aware. Zhao Yanli glanced at Lin Xiqi.

After all, Lin Xiqi is also an official of the imperial court, at least on the surface, he has to keep a certain distance.

"It's really a bit of a surprise that Seventh Brother was crowned king this time. Zhao Yanli said.

"The other princes have already been crowned kings, and now it should be the turn of the Seventh Prince. Lin Xiqi said.

It's just that Zhao Yanli shook his head.

She still knows a little about this.

Although it is said that Seventh Brother has gained a little strength in recent years, his father's attitude towards him is still the same as before, and he still does not pay attention to it.

"Seventh Brother was crowned king this time, in fact, it is also his father's last grace to him. Zhao Yanli sighed.

These words made Lin Xiqi frown.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, do you mean that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has no chance at all?" Lin Xiqi asked.

Of course, Zhao Yanli understood what Lin Xiqi was referring to.

"Father is definitely not optimistic about Seventh Brother, so ~~" Zhao Yanli didn't say any more.

Lin Xiqi actually expected this.

Zhao Yanxu was not taken seriously, and it was obviously impossible for the emperor to pass on the throne to him.

"Lord Lin. Seeing that Lin Xiqi didn't make a sound, Zhao Yanli couldn't help shouting, "I have to make something clear to you." ”

"Princess, please speak. Lin Xiqi nodded.

"I hope you don't meddle in the disputes of my brothers. Zhao Yanli stared at Lin Xiqi and said, "I know that you are not an ordinary person, and there are many masters under you." The current battle between those brothers is clear in everyone's hearts, and if anyone is involved in it, I don't know what will happen. ”

"Princess, you think too highly of me. Lin Xiqi said.

"Nope. Zhao Yanli shook her head and said, "It's not that I think I think I underestimate you." Maybe others underestimate you too. Not to mention how many subordinates you have, just because of your age, it is enough to make others embarrassed. ”

"Princess, I support His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you know this. Lin Xiqi counted, "It seems a little late to stop now." ”

"It's not too late. Zhao Yanli said, "Seventh Brother must have no chance with the throne, so there is no need to force it." In fact, I don't want Seventh Brother to worry about his life because of the throne. Now Lord Lin has helped Seventh Brother have some power, which can be regarded as a little guarantee for his future. ”

"Princess, do you think it's enough?" Lin Xiqi asked, "If one of your imperial brothers ascends to the throne, can you accommodate others, especially the brothers who have competed with him for the throne." ”

Zhao Yanli was silent.

Of course she understood this, but she was still holding on to a bit of luck.

But there are too many such lessons in history.

The struggle for the throne has always been brutal.

"Princess, it's useless for you to persuade me at this time. Lin Xiqi said again, "If you can convince His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, then of course it will be nothing for me." ”

Zhao Yanli smiled bitterly.

I really shouldn't let Lin Xiqi do such a thing.

My seventh brother is probably having no way out at this time.

Since you have embarked on this truth, you can only keep going, or fall halfway, or become the ultimate victor and sit on the supreme dragon chair.

"Lord Lin, what I said just now, I didn't say it. Zhao Yanli took a deep breath and said.

Lin Xiqi didn't say anything.

He can understand Zhao Yanli's thoughts, but this kind of thing is no longer something that Zhao Yanli can stop, probably no one can stop it.

Since Zhao Yanxu has embarked on the road of competing for the throne, there is no way out.
