Douluo Continent: Reborn as the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent, May You Have Many Children and Abundant Bl

With a good environment, he will naturally live more comfortably.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince."

Two servants in blue robes quickly stepped forward to greet them.

Gu Junlin nodded calmly, then led his adopted son into the mansion.

After walking along the path and enjoying the scenery, Gu Junlin and his companion arrived at a courtyard.

As soon as he arrived, Gu Junlin heard voices inside.

"Get out of here! What are you guys doing? I'm speechless."

in the courtyard.

A beautiful woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a bright red palace gown, was chasing after a middle-aged man dressed in a chef's uniform.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and said, "I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous."

"Go quickly!"

The princess waved her hand impatiently.

Soon, the butler led the middle-aged chef away from the place.

"Mother concubine."

At the same time, the third prince rushed forward and fell into the beautiful woman's arms.

This beautiful woman is none other than Prince Xuexing's principal wife and the biological mother of the third prince.

Qin Fei, Li Xueqin.

Upon seeing her son, Li Xueqin finally smiled, her face filled with a kind expression.

"Feng'er, school's out?"

Li Xueqin greeted her son, then turned to look at Gu Junlin, "Your Highness!"

"Ah."

Gu Junlin nodded, then frowned. "Madam, what happened just now? Why were you so angry?"

"Oh! Your Highness, you have no idea."

Li Xueqin stepped forward and took her son's schoolbag, then said, "Last night, I went to a banquet, and during the meal, I casually remarked that the braised crucian carp was quite delicious."

"And guess what happened, Your Highness?"

Li Xueqin forced a bitter expression. "I never expected that this cook would say he'd been fired early this morning and wanted to come to our house to ask for a job!"

The words fell.

Gu Junlin didn't react immediately.

When he finally understood the reason behind it, he suddenly realized the truth and then lamented the evils of bureaucracy.

This damned social etiquette exists in every world.

"Isn't this a good thing? Mother, didn't you say his braised crucian carp was delicious?"

Xuefeng asked, puzzled, as he hadn't quite grasped the intricacies of the matter.

"Good ass good!"

"This person is clearly after your father's power and wants to climb the social ladder."

"If Mother agrees to let him come this time, won't everyone want to curry favor with your father in the future?"

"What will His Majesty the Emperor think if things continue like this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xueqin was indignant.

Looking at her son, she felt an urge to pull his ear.

but,

She still added, "Feng'er, you're still young. The waters here are too deep. It's normal that you don't understand. Right now, you should focus on your studies at Yuexuan."

"Your mother will teach you slowly in the future."

After saying that, Li Xueqin gently pinched Xuefeng's nose, then looked at Gu Junlin and spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, the meal is ready. Let's go eat."

Prince Xuexing had nearly twenty concubines and children in total.

The family included one principal wife, seven secondary wives, and nine children.

Inside the dining room,

The entire Prince's household, nearly twenty people, sat down around a large round table.

The food on the table wasn't anything special, not even as good as what you'd get at the Yuexuan Dining Hall.

This was something Gu Junlin really couldn't understand.

You must know, this is Prince Xuexing. Although he is not as powerful as Emperor Xueye, his status is still much higher than that of most officials.

However, does Prince Xuexing live a little too cautiously in his daily life?

"Mother, why are there only these dishes?"

Xuefeng frowned as well. "Last time, during the autumn harvest at Hongfeng Lake, didn't the local town magistrate send over a large batch of Xuefeng sturgeon?"

A slight hint of anger flashed across Li Xueqin's face.

However, it's normal for children to be greedy.

"Feng'er, I'm saying this to you one last time!"

"Frugality and thrift are principles your father has always followed!"

"From now on, you'll eat whatever the family cooks."

"If you don't like it, then don't eat it anymore."

After saying that, Li Xueqin waved her hand, signaling the others to eat.

Apart from Prince Xuexing, Li Xueqin held the highest status among those present.

Seeing that she had spoken, no one dared to say anything more and could only obediently eat their food.

Seeing this, Gu Junlin couldn't help but let a strange look flash across his eyes.

Good heavens, it seems that Xue Xing himself set this rule.

Gu Jun was slightly moved by this.

Is this really necessary?

As a prince, there's no need to calculate things in such detail.

Suddenly, Gu Junlin thought of the original novel.

In the original story, Prince Snowstar is a strong supporter of the avalanche.

As a prince, Xue Beng was willing to pretend to be a good-for-nothing prince in order to avoid being harmed by Qian Renxue.

Prince Xuexing was undoubtedly partly to blame for this.

Suddenly, Gu Junlin had a terrifying thought.

Is it possible that Prince Snowstar didn't want to support Avalanche, but rather to control it and become the mastermind behind it all?

But later, because of Tang San, his idea was eventually crushed.

The more Gu Junlin thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

I think this reason is perfectly valid.

This explains why Xuexing, despite being an extremely noble prince, was willing to live a simple and austere life.

Thinking of this, Gu Junlin coughed lightly and continued along with Li Xueqin's words.

"Xueqin is right. There are still many people in the Heavenly Dou Empire who can't even afford to eat. In order to make the lives of countless people better, we must start with ourselves and be diligent and thrifty!"

Upon hearing Gu Junlin's words, everyone present tensed up.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Li Xueqin quickly stood up to smooth things over, saying, "Your Highness, your understanding is truly remarkable."

"In my opinion, being a prince is a complete waste of your talent."

Upon hearing this, Gu Junlin's expression shifted slightly.

Now he was finally certain that Prince Xuexing definitely had a shocking secret that no one knew about!

Then, he turned around and looked at Li Xueqin with a half-smile, and spoke.

"Madam, you mustn't say such things."

Chapter 99 Your Highness, what's wrong with you today?

Upon hearing Li Xueqin's words, Gu Junlin could no longer sit still.
