Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 135: Hen-pecked Highness Cheng

Knowing that Highness Cheng was coming, the villagers in Sha County were excited.

Many of the villagers in Sha County had not travelled before, the only official they had met was Lu Lin. It was not hard to imagine how excited they were when they heard the news.

"The Emperor's uncle is coming to our county! Big shot!"

"I cannot believe I can meet a prince in my lifetime!"

"Is there anything we can do to welcome this prince?

......

Lu Lin held his chin in his hands, buried in thought.

Chen Xiao Mi glanced at Lu Lin and asked, "What are you thinking about? You look worried."

Lu Lin said with concern, "I'm thinking about how to entertain the prince when he is here."

Chen Xiao Mi pursed his lips and said, "You are overthinking again, maybe you won't have to entertain the prince. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are more than happy to entertain this prince."

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiao Mi and said with admiration, "It makes sense!"

Lu Lin was just a seventh-ranking petty official who was not the ideal person to receive a big shot like Highness Cheng. Chances were the higher-ranking officials in the neighboring towns would fight for the opportunity to receive Highness Cheng.

The county yamen wasn't exactly dilapidated, but it had nothing to do with splendid and imposing. He didn't think any prince would condescend to stay in that shabby residence.

What was more, Highness Cheng was here to deliver the military supplies, of course it was Ji Cheng Kang who was supposed to receive him.

The more Lu Lin thought about it, the more relieved he became.

Chen Xiao Mi held his chin and said, "Do you think General Ji's guess will become true? Will Highness Cheng stay in Sha County because he is afraid of the drama at home?"

Lu Lin smiled and showed a gloating look, "I'm not sure, but General Ji knows the inside stories."

Chen Xiao Mi tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "How can this be? Is it because his new wife and concubine are both ugly?"

"I don't think so. The Empress and the Imperial Consort wouldn't marry ugly woman to Highness Cheng, they are using these women as honey-trap to win over Highness Cheng's political influence."

Lu Lin thought to himself, "It is said that there are over three thousand men in the Emperor's harem, and that is not a good thing. Some Emperors who have a weak political foundation would favor all of them equally to win over the consorts' maiden families' support. I don't understand why everyone wants to become the emperor, sounds tiring.'

Highness Cheng's new wife and concubine were arranged by the Empress and Imperial Consort Hua who were locked in the harem battle, Highness Cheng couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he had been trying his best to avoid seeing his wife and concubine.

"Highness Cheng, should I say he is too lucky or too unlucky?" Chen Xiao Mi shook his head and let out a sigh.

Lu Lin nodded in agreement.

A burst of laughter came over. Lu Lin followed the sound and looked over. It was Chen Xiao Mai and Yuan Bao who were playing hide-and-seek in the yard.

Yuan Bao was captured by Mai and let out a scream.

Lu Lin thought to himself, 'The two little ones at home are so calm, I should learn from them.'

Lu Lin had already told the two little ones that Highness Cheng was coming, but neither of seemed to have taken it to heart.
