After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 83: All can be given

Just as Lin Rusi thought she had caught a cold and was about to go back to her room to rest, she saw her maid rush in.

"Miss, the Prince has suddenly come to visit, saying he wants to see you again."

"Your Highness? Li Jingyang?"

Sun Jiayi won't be that fast, will she?

Holding onto a sliver of hope, Lin Rusi raised her hand to tidy her slightly loose hair before walking forward.

Upon seeing the expressionless man, she paused suddenly, then obediently bowed and stood there.

"This is your home, are you going to stand here forever?"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lin Rusi then sat down to the side, personally poured tea for Li Jingyang, and then obediently sat down beside him.

I don't know how long I waited, but the person next to me finally spoke.

What's going on with Sun Jiayi?

"What's wrong with Jiayi? Why did Your Highness suddenly ask her why?"

Lin Rusi pretended not to understand and raised her hand to fiddle with the teacup in her hand, but a hand much larger than herself pressed down the teacup that was blocking their view.

Although she used some force, she withdrew her hand just before it touched the table, wanting only to meet his gaze.

Lin Rusi knew she couldn't escape, so she could only look away and swallow hard as she looked into those slightly cold eyes.

As expected, human nature cannot be hidden.

"Why should I agree to let her become my concubine?"

“This… Your Highness, look at which family doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? Besides, you are a prince, if you don’t have concubines, people will talk about you.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang's already raised eyebrows furrowed even more.

"So you're going to help me take a concubine without my permission?"

"Your Highness, you can't wrong me like that. I remember my exact words were, 'If Your Highness agrees, I will naturally not refuse.'"

"So you think I would agree?"

Otherwise, why would you have been chatting so happily with someone that day?

Lin Rusi frowned as she thought about what happened that day. She wanted to say something else, but a hand suddenly grabbed hers.

"Answer me, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Not to mention you, my father is any person in the court, how could he not take wives and concubines?"

No matter how much you love each other, things will eventually change because of various worldly considerations.

Suddenly remembering her past life, Lin Rusi narrowed her eyes and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

When Li Jingyang saw her expression, his brows furrowed. He was about to say something else when he heard a sigh.

But just as she was about to speak, a cold snort came from the other side.

"You regard me as an ordinary man?"

"Aren't you a man?"

Caught off guard by those words, the ripples that had just stirred in Li Jingyang's heart vanished, and he turned to leave with a flick of his sleeve.

But for some reason, he suddenly found his gaze falling on Lin Rusi and couldn't help but reach out and lift her head.

Whether I am a man or not will be clear once you marry me.

"As for whether I will marry someone else after having another queen..."

Lin Rusi thought the other party would answer directly, but suddenly paused at the crucial point and couldn't help but look up curiously.

Meeting those deep, dark eyes, I couldn't help but ask a question.

"What are your plans? What if I am unable to have children?"

"They have no right to interfere in my affairs."

What do you mean?

Seemingly sensing the doubt in those eyes, Li Jingyang suddenly let out a soft chuckle.

"Your Highness!"

"Of course, it's still just you."

He wouldn't have time to deal with too many.

Lin Rusi didn't know why she could see a hint of helplessness in those eyes, but she also knew that no one else would be there in the short term, which made her feel much more at ease.

"Your Highness, is there anything else to attend to today?"

Where do you want to go?

Hearing this agreeable question, Lin Rusi smiled.

"It's too boring staying at home. I want to find someone to go for a walk with."

After not hearing any words of refusal for a while, Lin Rusi naturally assumed that the other party had agreed and walked out on her own.

Although the two didn't talk much on the way, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

"it is good."

Although it was only one word, it still made Lin Rusi's lips curl slightly, and she quickly walked inside.

He casually picked up the white jade hairpin he had long admired and began to examine it in his hand.

Seeing her so casual, the shopkeeper seemed worried that she might accidentally drop and break the brocade box she was holding.

"Buy it if you like it."

"If I like them all, are you going to buy them all for me?"

"so what?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Rusi did not answer. Instead, she pointed to the street across the street before turning her gaze back to Li Jingyang.

"If I like all of these, will you buy them for me?"

"Of course, it's not a lot of money."

They really are rich and powerful.

But Lin Rusi shook her head, indicating that she didn't need that many, and waved her hand to continue fiddling with the jade hairpin in her hand.

"What kind of hairstyle do you think would be suitable for this?"

"Both are suitable."

"Your Highness is so eloquent, just how many people have you said this to?"

When asked this question, Li Jingyang suddenly fell silent.

Lin Rusi thought she had asked something she shouldn't have, so she put the jade hairpin down and turned to look at the things next to her.

After a quick glance, I easily spotted another jade pendant that I liked even more.

However, realizing that this item didn't match her clothes, she turned her gaze away and looked at the other items in the store.

After I finished reading everything that interested me and was about to leave, I found that everything I had glanced at earlier had disappeared.

She thought it had been bought by someone, and she wanted to see who the shopkeeper was serving, but found him busy packing the things.

"Your Highness, there are many things; shall I deliver them directly to Miss Lin's residence later?"

"Just go to the Prince's Mansion to get the money."

The shopkeeper looked at the mountain of brocade boxes and his wrinkled face broke into a smile.

Lin Rusi looked at Li Jingyang with some helplessness and found that he did not feel any pity or anything about it, and naturally accepted it.

But there's a limit to this.

When Lin Rusi noticed that she was glancing at something on the street, Li Jingyang would have it sent to the Lin residence, and his brows would still be furrowed.

"Your Highness, isn't this a bit too much? I'm just one person, I'm afraid I can't use it all."

"If you change it every day, how could you not use it all?"

But she only has one head, and she really can't carry so many hairpins and earrings. Even if she changes one every day, she'll probably be wearing them until she's seventy or eighty.

Looking at those things that were only suitable for her age, her delicate brows furrowed.

"Some of them are duplicate styles, should we just get rid of them?"

If there's money left over, she wouldn't mind sending it to us in cash.

But in order not to be seen as a money-grubber, he didn't say it aloud.
