He wanted to try his best to ignore Lin Jie, but unfortunately, he was unable to do so because of Lin Jie's actions.

Lin Jie snorted, and curled his lips in displeasure.

"Recently, there has been a drought in the Bei City, causing heavy casualties. I wonder how Your Highness feels we should handle this?"

Zhang Zelin did not care about Lin Jie's existence, and asked Shen Qinghan.

"This is a very serious matter. The relief funds have already been allocated. We still have to wait for the concrete details to be reported to them."

Shen Qinghan said indifferently.

Lin Jie listened by the side, feeling extremely bored.

"Then, what do you have in mind, crown princess?"

Zhang Zelin suddenly asked Lin Jie.

He was testing Lin Jie to see if this crown princess really had the ability.

"As for this matter, I feel that it would be better to pay attention to the relief funds to go up."

Lin Jie said indifferently.

"Oh, what is the meaning of this?"

"Because how much of this relief money can go to the common people, that's the root of it."

Lin Jie said slowly.

"Indeed, this has always been a big problem. I never thought that crown princess's opinions would be so unique."

Zhang Zelin laughed.

After that, Lin Jie and Zhang Zelin chatted for a long time, talking about the important matters of the nation and the lives of 100 people.

What Shen Qinghan found strange was that whether it was the national path or the matters of commoners, Lin Jie was able to chat with Zhang Zelin.

So when Lin Jie was talking endlessly, Shen Qinghan could not help but look at Lin Jie, wanting to see if this person was Lin Jie or not.

"Your Highness and crown princess have a good relationship."

Zhang Zelin suddenly said.

"Average."

Shen Qinghan lifted his teacup and took a sip.

"Your majesty has always been thin-skinned."

Lin Jie added with a smile.

"Don't you get tired just by saying so much?"

Shen Qinghan glanced at Lin Jie, signalling him to shut up.

"After hearing what you just said, I am truly a bit tired. Furthermore, I am rather thirsty."

Lin Jie rubbed his throat, and then took the opportunity to glance at the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table. Not knowing if it was on purpose or not, he lifted the teacup and drank a few mouthfuls of the tea.

Finally, he put down the cup and wiped his mouth, "Good tea!"

Shen Qinghan's face immediately turned green, and endured his anger, "This is my teacup."

"Yours is yours. Why are you so stingy?" It's just a cup of tea. "

Lin Jie curled his lips.

The veins on his forehead popped out, and Shen Qinghan turned his head away, no longer speaking.

In Zhang Zelin's eyes, the scene looked like a flirtatious flirting.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's great to be young.

After Zhang Zelin left, Shen Qinghan could no longer tolerate it.

"You're not allowed to barge in again next time."

Shen Qinghan berated coldly.

"Alright, I will definitely walk in casually next time."

When Zhang Zelin left, he immediately returned to his original form, his entire body leaning on the chair, his legs casually placed on the table, causing Shen Qinghan's temples to throb uncontrollably.

"Don't force your way through the argument, don't sit in a bad position!"

Shen Qinghan stared at Lin Jie, his originally deep and calm eyes now crazily throbbing with anger.

"Where did you get so many?"

Lin Jie yawned, he glanced at Shen Qinghan and snorted.

The veins on his forehead bulged uncontrollably, Shen Qinghan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his anger, and asked again, "How did you know about the things you and the Prime Minister talked about?"

"I've never eaten pork before, I've never seen a pig run before!"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes.

"…"

Shen Qinghan suddenly regretted asking this question.

"Alright, go back to sleep."

After he was done, Lin Jie jumped off the table and stood up. He unintentionally glanced at the teacup on the table, his steps paused for a moment, then turned back and smiled. He picked up the teacup on the table, and downed the cup of tea in one gulp.

Just as Lin Jie stepped out of the door, a maid went in to get tea, and at that moment, Lin Jie heard a cold voice coming from inside.

"Withdraw all the tea for me!"

Lin Jie could not help but snicker.

Lin Jie felt that Shen Qinghan's anger towards him was rising day by day.

He believed that in the near future, he would be able to successfully drive Shen Qinghan out of the Crown Prince's Palace due to his anger. Thinking of this, Lin Jie felt an inexplicable sense of excitement.

The guard looked at Lin Jie who was smiling non-stop, and was at a loss.

As if he had noticed the guard's gaze, Lin Jie cleared his throat, stuck out his chest, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Late at night

The candlelight flickered slightly

The light in the study was not extinguished yet, so Shen Qinghan sat quietly in front of the desk. After a moment, Jiang Yang pushed open the door and entered.

"Your Highness, this is an urgent message from the Bei City."

Jiang Yang passed a sealed letter to Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan frowned slightly as he received the letter. When he opened it, he saw that the contents of the letter were getting more and more serious.

"Jiang Yang, get ready. Follow me to the Bei City tomorrow."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Shen Qinghan said indifferently.

"Isn't this too sudden?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yang was startled, "What's more, the Bei City are so chaotic right now, so Your Highness will go over just like this …"

"No problem, hurry up and prepare."

Shen Qinghan said.

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

Jiang Yang knew that the things that Shen Qinghan had decided on would not be changed easily, no matter how much he said it, it would be useless, so he retreated.

This morning, Lin Jie had woken up. For some reason, he had been awake very early recently, and since he had nothing to do after waking up, Lin Jie started to wander around.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the residence, he saw Shen Qinghan, who was wearing a moon-white cape, walking steadily and expressionlessly towards the entrance. Step by step, it seemed as if there was wind under his feet, causing his clothes to flutter.

Lin Jie looked towards the entrance of the residence, only to see two big horses standing at the entrance.

"Where are we going?"

Lin Jie casually asked when he saw Shen Qinghan striding in front of him.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Shen Qinghan didn't even look at Lin Jie, and directly walked past him.

Lin Jie's face darkened on the spot, and just as he was about to flare up, Jiang Yang, who had just arrived, hurriedly said, "Your Highness is going to the Bei City for a few days, and will be back very soon."

"Oh ~ Then I wish him a safe journey ~ ~"

The corner of Lin Jie's mouth twitched.

It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning behind his words.

Jiang Yang's face stiffened, why did he feel that crown princess's words were a bit scary?
