I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 86: My mother, she's already asleep

Qingzhou, in the governor's Mansion.

Zi Ling walked over and served a cup of tea to Governor Xu next to him.

After Governor Xu thanked her with a bow, Zi Ling quietly retreated.

Governor Xu held the hot tea in his hands and glanced down before looking up and smiling, "This is Erquan Yinhao tea."

Xiao Jin nodded.

Seeing the tea, Governor Xu couldn't help but sigh, "When I invited the prince to a banquet at Yuhua Tower, I once served this tea, and I didn't expect that you still remember it after so long."

Xiao Jin replied calmly, "When I first met Governor Xu you served me a pot of Erquan Yinhao tea, which was tender and green, with a lingering fragrance."

"Since it's good tea, and you've kindly served it, I naturally wouldn't forget it," Governor Xu gratefully took a sip of the tea.

After tasting the tea, Governor Xu met Xiao Jin's gaze and felt that his words probably contained some deep meaning.

Was Prince Yan reminding him not to change his original intention easily and to remember his gratitude?

In fact, Xiao Jin didn't have much thought about it.

She didn't even remember that Governor Xu had served her this tea at the banquet.

It was just that Chu Shao had been fond of Erquan Yinhao tea recently, so she had also tasted it a few times and found the taste to be okay.

Therefore, she paid attention to buy more of it.

As luck would have it, the tea she brewed today was also Erquan Yinhao tea.

However, Xiao Jin was still able to maintain a poker face and lie.

After listening to Xiao Jin's words, Governor Xu's expression became solemn, and he said firmly, "Your Highness, you have given me the opportunity of a lifetime. If not for you, I'm afraid that I would have spent my whole life in Qingzhou and never been promoted."

Xiao Jin waved her hand and said, "Governor Xu, you're overthinking it. I just came up with some insignificant tricks."

"The key is that you govern wisely, otherwise, even if you put in a lot of effort, it won't reach the emperor's ears," she added.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries back and forth.

As Governor Xu became increasingly sincere, Xiao Jin became increasingly uninterested.

To be honest, after running her business for most of the day, she was already tired.

In the end, it became Governor Xu talking and her listening.

Governor Xu also noticed something wrong, and finally stopped talking about it and came to the key point: "Your Highness, yesterday, His Majesty summoned me back to the capital, saying that he wanted to appoint me as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I am really afraid."

Xiao Jin took a sip of tea and moistened her throat.

Since her lifespan became abundant, the time she spent coughing has decreased.

In the eyes of others, it was the Prince Yan's body that was getting better day by day.

Maybe one day... even her legs could have a chance to recover.

Obviously, Governor Xu also thinks so.

So this is also one of the reasons why he refused the Crown Prince's recruitment.
