With Cheng Yaojin in tow, Lin Han soon arrived at the mansion.
When Princess Chang Le saw him, she was shocked.
However, the two of them pretended not to know each other in order to hide their identities.
"Furen, this is my newly recruited soldier. His martial arts skills are not bad. In the future, I plan to let him be a guard in our residence.”
What?
Princess Chang Le was stunned and asked Cheng Yaojin to be her guard.
The other party was a general who had fought with Li Shimin before, and was highly regarded by Li Shimin.
Now that he was here, he might have been sent by Li Shiming. How could she dare to let him be her guard?
"What, you're not happy?"
Lin Han asked when he saw Princess Chang Le's surprised expression.
"No, I'm just afraid that he'll suffer." Princess Chang Le shook her head.”
Princess Chang Le didn't dare to agree without knowing Cheng Yaojin's intention.
"No, as long as you don't restrict my freedom, I can be your bodyguard."”
Cheng Yaojin had come here to find out if Lin Han wanted to rebel, so he did not mind being his bodyguard for a period of time.
However, the prerequisite was that the other party could not restrict his freedom.
"Don't worry," Lin Han said,"whenever you want to quit, just tell me. I can leave anytime."”
The reason why Lin Han asked Cheng Yaojin to be his bodyguard was mainly because he could not find a suitable candidate now.
When he found a suitable person in the future, he would not care if the other party stayed or left.
"Alright, since you said so, I'll agree.”
"Since he has agreed, you should have no objections, right?" Lin Han looked at Princess Chang Le.”
Princess Chang Le looked at Cheng Yaojin. Seeing Cheng Yaojin nod, she smiled and said,"Alright, since that's the case, I'll listen to you.”
"Alright, since it's Guard Cheng's first time coming to our mansion today, I'll personally make some dishes for him to taste.”
Cheng Yaojin was shocked when he heard this.”
In his opinion, what good dishes could a grown man cook?
Especially for officials like them, who didn't have servants to serve them?
"My husband may be a county magistrate, but he's good at cooking. Outsiders usually can't eat him."”
Hearing Princess Chang Le's words, Cheng Yaojin's interest was piqued.
"Alright, since Madam has said so, then I want to see how delicious Daren's dishes are.”
"Alright, then go to the hall and wait."”
After Lin Han left, Princess Chang Le looked at Cheng Yaojin and said,""Uncle Cheng, you're not in Chang 'an. Why are you here?”
"Princess," Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands,"I'm here to investigate Lin Han on His Majesty's orders."”
"What? To investigate my husband?"
"Yes, someone reported that Lin Han built the city wall, trained the soldiers, and forged weapons on his own. They suspect that he wants to rebel.”
"His Majesty originally sent Wei Zheng to investigate, but he suspected that Wei Zheng's investigation was not thorough, so he sent me to follow.”
"Wei Zheng?"
At the mention of Wei Zheng, Princess Changle suddenly remembered that Wei Zheng seemed to have come yesterday.
At first, she thought that he was here to see Lin Han.
Now that she thought about it, she was probably here to investigate Lin Han.
"Uncle Wei has already been here. Do you think he will say bad things about my husband when he returns to Chang 'an?”
Wei Zheng was upright, and Princess Changle was worried that he would tell Li Shimin the truth.
Based on Wei Zheng's temper, he guessed that he would let Li Shiming punish Lin Han according to the laws of the Great Tang.
Cheng Yaojin comforted her." Princess, don't worry. Since His Majesty sent me here, he won't listen to Wei Zheng's words. Even if he wants to punish Lin Han, he has to wait for me to return."”
"Uncle Cheng, my husband really has no intention of rebelling. He's doing this to defend against the Turkic army. You know that Qinghe County doesn't have enough soldiers."”
" Princess, don't worry," Cheng Yaojin said." As long as Lin Han doesn't have any thoughts of rebellion, I guarantee that he will be fine."”
"Alright."
Princess Chang Le nodded gently. She knew better than anyone else whether Lin Han really wanted to rebel.
So as long as she had Cheng Yaojin's words, she would be relieved.
"Let's go, Uncle Cheng. Follow me to the living room.”
Princess Changle brought Cheng Yaojin to the living room.
A moment later, braised fish, spicy chicken, twice-cooked pork, and other delicacies were served.
Looking at the dishes that he had never eaten before, Cheng Yaojin swallowed his saliva.
"Did your county magistrate cook all these dishes?" he asked the servant who was serving the dishes.”
"Yes," the servant nodded.
"What a talent."
After getting confirmation, Cheng Yaojin widened his eyes and said,"These dishes are more than a hundred times better than the dishes in the imperial kitchen.”
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's endless praise for Lin Han's cooking, Princess Chang Le only smiled slightly.
"Old Cheng, you're in luck today.”
At this moment, Lin Han walked in with a cake.
"What's this?" Cheng Yaojin asked.”
Lin Han ignored him and placed the cake on the table.
Then, he looked at Princess Chang Le and said,"Madam, do you still remember what day it is today?"”
Princess Changle was stunned." Dragon Boat Festival? No, the Dragon Boat Festival hasn't arrived yet. Mid-Autumn Festival? The Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be early."
"Today is the 18th of June, your birthday."”
"Birthday?"
Princess Chang Le was confused.
After Lin Han sat down, he explained to her carefully,"In my hometown, there is a festival called birthday.”
"Everyone has their birthday every year. On their birthday, they will eat cake, sing birthday songs, and make wishes.”
"Is there such a festival? I actually didn't know."
"This is the first time I've heard of it," Cheng Yaojin said.”
"It doesn't matter if you didn't know about it before, but you must know about it in the future, because I will celebrate every birthday with you in the future."”
Princess Chang Le nodded." Alright. As long as my husband is with me, every day is a holiday for me."”
"Stop, I'm getting goosebumps.”
Cheng Yaojin looked like he had a headache.
Lin Han smiled and stopped talking nonsense. He took out a lighter and lit the candles on the cake.
The candles on it were specially prepared for Princess Chang Le's birthday.
When the candles were lit, Lin Han sang the birthday song for Princess Chang Le.
It was the first time Princess Changle heard a birthday song.
However, she could feel Lin Han's care and love for her.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Lin Han and thought,""No wonder he was able to trick the princess. This kid is really good at deceiving girls. Unfortunately, I already have a wife. Otherwise, I could learn to deceive other girls.”
After the birthday song, Lin Han said," Now, blow out the candle in one breath. Then, you can close your eyes and make a wish."”
"Do wishes come true?" Princess Changle asked.”
"As long as you sincerely make a wish, it will definitely come true," Lin Han said.”
"Alright, then I'll agree now."
Princess Chang Le blew out the candle in one breath and then closed her eyes to make a wish.
