Xiliang Ping'an City!
During this period, stimulated by Lin Yi's money, the entire situation developed at an alarming rate. With the full cooperation of those powerful families, all industries experienced significant growth.
The Northern Daily was filled with heartening scenes, showing that the entire north had entered an unprecedented phase, and the people were putting in their best efforts to cooperate with the policies of the Prince of Xiliang.
This vibrant atmosphere made the surrounding counties envious, and many people even secretly moved their families to Xiliang.
The Prince of Xiliang has now been completed, and Lin Yi has officially moved into this brand-new palace.
As for the former royal palace, it was transformed into a villa, which later became the private property of the Prince of Xiliang, who would only stay there occasionally.
The palace itself is still a single-story building, except for the Star-Picking Tower, which is a nine-story building used for self-cultivation and stargazing.
The palace's layout is unparalleled in this day and age.
There are four gardens alone, surrounded by a beautiful artificial lake, with pavilions and scenic views galore, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Both Cai Yan and Princess Shenle showed great interest in this mansion.
The unique architectural style opened their eyes, and the interior was even more magnificent, like a crystal world.
"Husband, what is this thing? Why is it so transparent?" Cai Yan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Looking at the glass window in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle. This woman is just like any other woman; she really loves all these sparkly things.
He laughed and said, "This is glass, priceless, and Ma Jun's latest invention!"
That's right!
With his prompting, Ma Jun successfully created glass. Although it was not as pure as that of later generations, it was absolutely unparalleled in its All Under Heaven and was priceless.
A pane of glass was placed in the room, making it much brighter and instantly elevating its style.
Princess Shenle couldn't help but exclaim, "My husband's palace is absolutely stunning! Compared to it, my father's palace is simply unbearable to look at. It's truly a miracle!"
She held her husband in the highest esteem, for he not only created cement but also glass, which made the palace so magnificent!
"Haha, I dare not compare myself to the Emperor in the palace. The Emperor has a lot of complaints about me!" Lin Yi said, pursing his lips in annoyance.
Hehe!
Princess Shenle couldn't help but giggle as she looked at Lin Yi. This man was truly interesting; no wonder he was her man.
She took out a visiting card from her bosom and handed it to Lin Yi, smiling, "Husband, this visiting card was delivered to me. I'm sure you'd like to see it!"
"It must be Princess Qingfeng!"
Lin Yi casually accepted the visiting card without even glancing at it, and simply smiled.
How could such a visiting card escape his notice? He already knew of its existence, he just hadn't said anything.
Princess Qingfeng is actually Princess Shenle's older sister!
That's right. Although Princess Shenle is the eldest princess and should theoretically be the oldest, she is actually eight years younger than Ning Kun's wife Princess Qingfeng.
The reason is simple: Princess Shenle was the Empress's biological daughter and the Emperor's favorite princess, so she naturally became the eldest princess.
As for Princess Qingfeng, she was only born to a concubine and was not qualified to bear the title of eldest princess.
However, the man she married was no ordinary person; he was none other than Ning Kun, the butcher who had entered the border region of Ningchuan County. In other words, Ning Kun was actually her nominal brother-in-law.
This brother-in-law made a surprise visit earlier, and now he's actually sending a visiting card through Princess Qingfeng. This is quite interesting.
Princess Shenle was not surprised at all that Lin Yi knew about the visiting card, and smiled, "Husband, my sister and I have a good relationship. Now that she has arrived in the Great Wasteland Commandery, she naturally wants to come and visit. However, my brother-in-law is also coming this time. The two of you men should be able to chat together."
Pfft!
Cai Yan chuckled to herself. These two grown men were more than just good at talking; they were practically ready to fight. The only thing missing was a real duel.
She couldn't help but laugh, "Husband, you must restrain yourself, don't hit her!"
"Haha, you dare to slander your husband? You want me to teach you a lesson?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Cai Yan. Under his care and pampering, this woman had become even more playful than before, and she even dared to tease her man.
That's incredibly audacious!
Cai Yan's beautiful face instantly turned crimson. She dared not accept this family punishment; it was far too severe. She immediately shrank into Lin Yi.
Seeing the beauty like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Then, he smiled at Princess Shenle and said, "In that case, let's invite them to the banquet in my name. I also want to see this Little Human Butcher for myself!"
To dare to venture alone into my vicinity and resort to tricks, this guy must have never died before, which is why he dares to be so reckless!
"Thank you, my husband!" Princess Shenle said excitedly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Although she was fully conscious and saw everything clearly, she still longed for the arrival and greetings of a loved one, even if those greetings were tainted with something, at least it would give her some comfort and concern.
Looking at Cai Yan nestled in Lin Yi, she pouted, kissed Lin Yi on the cheek, and then happily left.
ah!
Looking at her smug expression after successfully stealing a chicken, Cai Yan said irritably, "Princess, huh? You look like a vixen who just stole a chicken, all smug and self-satisfied."
Ha ha!
Seeing her jealous expression, Lin Yi pinched her nose and laughed, "She's a vixen? Then what do you call me? You really need some family discipline!"
"Ah, I forgot something important, I still need to revise the newspaper." Cai Yan's expression changed, she immediately jumped up and ran away in a flash.
Seeing that both women had left, Lin Yi slowly walked to the door and headed towards the courtyard on the side.
At the entrance to the courtyard, Xu Chu stood guard like a gatekeeper, with Wang Yue beside him looking helpless; he had clearly been stopped as well.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"You've worked hard, Zhongkang!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Xu Chu was deeply moved upon hearing this and replied with a smile, "Protecting my lord is my duty; how could it be hard for me!"
"Kindness!"
Lin Yi greatly appreciated his attitude and nodded slightly. Then he looked at Wang Yue and smiled, " Wang Yue, you've come in person. Is there something important?"
Now that he's relieved of his guard duties, he can focus all his efforts on building Net, so his tasks are only increasing.
"My lord, we received two urgent messages by carrier pigeon today. There's big news." Wang Yue didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
