Before he found out about Yan Lin's background, he had wanted to matchmake the two of them, but now... Could it be that this little bastard wanted to lay his hands on his own sister?
Li Shi Min suddenly realized. Although Yan Lin was just casually asking, he also wanted to probe.
Xian Shu and Yan Lin persuaded him for a long time.
Although the world was peaceful now, Yan Lin was suffering from a hidden illness, and Xian Shu was old. There would be a time when he would leave first.
Yan Lin couldn't be without someone to take care of him.
The best way was to find someone to marry.
Of course, Xian Shu was naturally unwilling to be an ordinary person.
The last time he saw Old Li's family, Yan Lin had also acknowledged Mrs. Li as his aunt. Uncle Fu felt that this was a great opportunity.
It was a kiss.
Could it be that Mrs. Li had underestimated Yan Lin?
Thus, after Xian Shu urged him for a long time, Yan Lin finally agreed to wait for Old Li to come back and test him.
Seeing that Old Li was looking at him without saying anything, Yan Lin did not know if he did not understand what he meant.
"Is Lizhi engaged?" he asked.”
"Never!" Li Shi Min replied subconsciously.
After saying that, she wanted to slap herself.
This…What did I say?
Li Shi Min looked at the table legs, thinking about something.
"Unfortunately, Yan Lin's parents have passed away and his family is poor. If this continues, who knows when he will be able to find a marriage.”Yan Lin pretended to be depressed and sighed.
Uncle Xian was a shrewd person.
As long as Yan Lin said this, Old Li would definitely reply,"Since that's the case, I'll betroth my daughter to you so that we can get closer.”
Yan Lin had already broken the window paper. He was just short of directly telling Old Li to marry his daughter to him as his wife.
As long as Old Li wasn't a fool, he should have reacted immediately.
"Cough cough-cough cough-"
Li Shiming almost died from anger at Yan Lin's obvious hint.
If it was before, he would really have agreed to it.
But now?
Why did this little bastard suddenly become so shameless?
That's your biological sister.
If it wasn't for the fact that I can't reveal anything, I would definitely tie you up and whip you!
Li Shi Min cursed in his heart. Even though he was furious, Li Shi Min knew that he could not let this matter continue.
Otherwise, he would be the sinner of the Li family.
"Cough, Yan Lin!" Li Shi Min cleared his throat and calmed himself down.
"I just remembered that Lizhi was engaged to someone two years ago. It was your aunt who arranged it.”Li Shi Min replied perfunctorily.
After listening to Li Shiming's words, Yan Lin was only slightly stunned, but he also felt relieved.
He just wanted to give Uncle Fu an explanation. Li Shimin was unwilling, so Yan Lin didn't take it to heart.
After all, no father would want his daughter to marry a short-lived man.
No matter how capable this short-lived ghost was.
Li Shimin also felt that what he said just now made Yan Lin overthink.
However, he could not explain too much, so he wanted to change the topic quickly.
"Yan Lin, do you have any plans for your future?”Li Shi Min asked with a smile.
Because of his Qi disease, Yan Lin had long been accustomed to all kinds of strange looks. His mind was as steady as a rock. How could he be affected by Li Shimin's rejection?
With a faint smile, Yan Lin said,""The pursuit of fame and fortune in the world is just a passing cloud to me. What I want is to live a simple life, plant land, and fish.”
After hearing Yan Lin's words, Li Shimin was a little disappointed.
The Great Tang was founded on martial arts. As Li Shimin's son, even if Yan Lin could not go into battle due to his health, he should at least try to govern the country through literature.
Who would have thought that Yan Lin was so unambitious?
He only wanted to farm at home.
If it was an ordinary person who was proficient in both painting and calligraphy and had top-notch culinary skills, they would be able to make a name for themselves.
However, as the heir to the throne, how could he deal with the aristocratic families that were eyeing him covetously without any means? Strong enemies from both inside and outside?
Although he was disappointed, Li Shiming didn't show it. He forced a smile and said,"A carefree life is indeed enviable.”
Yan Lin saw the expression on Li Shiming's face and understood what he was thinking, but he just smiled.
He poured a cup of tea for Li Shiming without saying a word.
"By the way, Yan Lin, your aunt is not feeling well. I want to ask you to make her a lighter diet.”Li Shi Min said.
He also thought that the Empress of the Political Affairs Hall probably couldn't eat the food in the palace. Knowing that Yan Lin's cooking skills were good, he wanted to invite him to cook a dish.
If she knew that the dishes were made by Yan Lin, the Empress would probably have a better appetite.
"Alright." Yan Lin nodded and stood up.
In the Administrative Hall, the Empress looked at the table full of food and had no appetite at all.
"Let's go, BenGong is not hungry." The Empress waved her hand, indicating for the servants to remove the food.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has instructed that you should eat a little.”the palace maid advised.
"BenGong temporarily has no appetite." The Empress shook her head.
The palace maid wanted to persuade him again, but she saw Li Shimin walking in with a wooden box.
"Your Majesty!" The palace maids and eunuchs bowed in unison.
"These are all gone. Zhen personally brought some food over.”Li Shi Min said.
"Yes, sir!"
The palace maid responded and removed the food from the table.
"Guanyin maid, I specially asked Yan Lin to cook something that suits you. Try it.”Li Shimin helped the Empress sit down and opened the wooden box.
There was only one dish in the wooden box.
As soon as the lid was opened, a fragrance wafted out.
"Gu-"
The Empress couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She, who had lost her appetite just now, suddenly felt like her craving had been aroused.
"Yan Lin said that this is a thick egg roast. Knowing that you can't eat eggs, he specially changed it to duck eggs.”
"When I was cooking, I couldn't help but steal a piece when Yan Lin wasn't paying attention. It was a delicacy that I've never tasted before!”Li Shi Min said with a smile.
Only when he was with the Empress would he not care about his image.
"Your Majesty, you've worked hard!" The Empress looked at Li Shi Min's thin face and said slowly.
"Guanyin Maid, you eat first." Li Shi Min comforted.
"Oh, this taste is really good. I don't know where Yan Lin, that child, figured out these things.”
"After eating a mouthful, ChenQie felt hungry.”With just one bite, the Empress beamed with joy, not hiding the joy in her heart at all.
This was a meal specially made for her by a child she could not recognize.
Putting aside the fact that the taste was extremely beautiful, the empress felt very happy to be able to eat the food made by her own child.
"Yan Lin told me that he just wanted to be a countryside idler, farming and fishing. He almost angered me to death.”Li Shi Min and the Empress couldn't help but complain.
As the eldest son of the Tang royal family, how could he be so undisciplined?
"After seventeen years of illness, Yan Lin has long been tortured. What he seeks is only health and freedom.”The Empress put down her bowl and chopsticks and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, if Yan Lin only wants to be idle for the rest of his life, then let him be. It's a blessing to be an idle prince and live a carefree life.”
" But the position of Crown Prince…" The Empress did not continue.
The harem did not care about state affairs. Even if she was the Empress, she never dared to cross the line.
