Chapter 1199: Chapter 1190: Marriage Alliance, Do You Agree or Not?_1 Chapter 1199: Chapter 1190: Marriage Alliance, Do You Agree or Not?_1 “Regent.”
Upon his entrance, three female officials from the Imperial Court put down their scrolls, stood up from their chairs, and greeted him with a salute.
“No need for formalities.”
Lin Jinyun, with his gentle demeanor, waved the three to sit down as he approached the desk. He took a newly-delivered petition from one of the female officials' hands.
The female official quietly reported: “The flood warnings for the Huai River have been triggered. The water level has already exceeded the warning line, and a new wave of flood is coming.”
Lin Jinyun rubbed his temples with a headache: “The disaster at the Huai River needs to be dealt with.”
“Little brother, can you guess who I just saw at the Bright Moon Pavilion?”
Xu Wei happened to enter at that moment, with a joking smile on his face.
“Brother Xu.”
Lin Jinyun's handsome face darkened: “The disaster at the Huai River is so severe, yet you still have the mood to go to the Bright Moon Pavilion?”
“Cough cough.”
Xu Wei coughed awkwardly and blushed: “With overwhelming state affairs, one should nevertheless have some relaxation, right? Otherwise, we'll die young due to overwork.”
“Sigh.”
Lin Jinyun sighed and tossed the petition to him.
Xu Wei scanned the petition roughly and looked serious for a moment: “How about the last time we talked about inviting Mr. Xu Liang to Fengqi to deal with the flood?”
“Xue Rufeng has already agreed to it.”
Lin Jinyun nodded: “At this moment, Mr. Xu should already be on his way to Fengqi.”
“That's great!”
Xu Wei was delighted and patted his chest: “Brother Yun, don't worry. When Mr. Xu arrives, I will personally accompany him to the Huai River Basin to survey the terrain.”
“That's very good.”
Lin Jinyun's eyes lit up, showing a hint of joy.
“Hey, hey, you won't believe who I just saw at the Bright Moon Pavilion.”
Xu Wei saw his face slightly relaxed, and then made another mischievous expression, whispering in his ear.
“Who?”
Lin Jinyun rubbed his temple, patiently waiting for an answer.
“Princess Xuanyuan Qing of Xijin.”
Xu Wei's cunning smile tugged at the corner of his eyes.
The Prince of Xijin, Xuanyuan Li, paid a visit early in the morning to Duke of Zhen and his wife, formally proposing an alliance through marriage.
In the afternoon, amidst a flurry of tasks, Lin Jinyun rushed back to the Mansion of Duke Zhen, where he was summoned by the Duke to inform him about the matter.

Lin Jinyun glanced at Xu Wei without saying a word.
“The princess, who somehow heard a rumor and mistakenly believed that the Bright Moon Pavilion is a brothel.”
Xu Wei saw him not responding and continued: “She dressed up as a man, accompanied by her personal maid, to visit the brothel.”
“How did you know?”
Lin Jinyun's handsome face darkened, showing a hint of surprise.
Xu Wei teasingly smiled: “I happened to be nearby and overheard their conversation.”
“Disguised as a man?”
Lin Jinyun's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously took out a jade pendant from his storage bag, holding it up to the light to examine it carefully.
The jade pendant was entirely green, with a double dragon and pearl pattern carved on the front, and the character “Qing” clearly engraved on the back in seal script.
It was indeed her!
The image of the young girl clumsily climbing the tree to help a child retrieve his kite flashed through his mind.
It didn't seem to be the same person as the princess Xu Wei mentioned, visiting a brothel with her maid.
“Hey, hey, Brother Yun, what have you decided?”
Xu Wei had no idea what he was thinking and continued with a provoking smile: “What do you think about the marriage proposal?”
“You are meddling too much.”
Lin Jinyun pushed his face away, annoyed, and sat down at the desk.
“In my opinion, among all the eligible princesses of various countries, Xuanyuan Qing is the most suitable.”
Xu Wei spoke without expecting the others' dislike, completely ignoring the fact that he was considered annoying.
