Chapter 48 Who says women are inferior to men 5

Wu Su's punishment caused quite a stir in the court. After learning the reason for Wu Su's punishment, the courtiers began to reevaluate Lin Jiu's status in Emperor Taikang's heart.

You must know that if it were not for Lin Jiu's help this time, the fourth prince would definitely shed a layer of skin.

Originally, they had deduced that the Fourth Prince is now too popular. This is definitely something that Your Majesty does not want to see. That is why they designed the Zhiyin Building Incident, which is equivalent to giving Your Majesty an excuse to punish the Fourth Prince. However, they have no calculation. , they didn’t expect that Lin Jiu would directly blame Wei Zijing for this matter. The key is that the king just believed Lin Jiu’s words.

"boom!"

In the East Palace, Qi Mingye slammed a tea cup to the ground with a sinister and scary expression.

"Your Highness, be careful of getting angry." The chamberlain next to him warned carefully.

"Lin Jiu, it's her who ruined my good deeds again. Fourth child, Lin Jiu can save you twice, but can't save you the third time. We have a long time to come."

Fourth Prince's Mansion

"Fourth brother, thanks to Lin Shishu this time, otherwise we would be in danger." Ninth Prince Qi Minghao said with lingering fear. Originally, he thought that if things didn't turn around, he would be the one to take over. Anyway, even if his father was angry again, he would still be in danger. He would not be killed, and the most serious consequence would be a life-long ban.

Qi Minghao did not expect that Lin Jiu would directly beat Hu Hao into a remnant of the previous dynasty as soon as he opened his mouth. If their brothers didn't know who was behind the scenes, they would almost believe Lin Jiu's words.

"Well, he saved me again." Qi Mingchen said calmly.

"Did Lin Jiu save the fourth brother? Why didn't I know?"

"You were still young at that time, so of course you don't remember. Moreover, Mr. Xiurong took Lin Jiu to Jiangnan not long after."

"Fourth brother, I heard that Lin Jiuqi is the illegitimate daughter of my father..."

"Presumptuous. Minghao, what kind of dog is whispering in your ear?" Qi Mingchen suddenly became angry.

Qi Mingchen's expression made Qi Minghao a little scared, and he weakly called "Fourth Brother."

"Minghao, fourth brother is not angry with you." Qi Mingchen snorted coldly, "Nowadays, these courtiers only remember that Lin Jiu is Mr. Xiurong's disciple, but they forget that Lin Jiu also has another identity, the heir apparent of Duke Zhu. Back then, Zhu Duke Lin He died saving her, and Lin Jiu was the eldest son of Duke Zhu as soon as she was born. As long as she gets married, she will be the new generation of Duke Zhu. Minghao, don't look at Lin Jiu's gentleness, just think that She is very talkative, and the last person who slandered her life experience had her head ripped open by her. She was less than seven years old at the time. And do you know who the person whose head was ripped off was?"

"Who?"

"Deposed concubine Shu."

"It's her." Qi Minghao was a little surprised. Although he had no impression of the Shu family, he had heard about how she was favored back then. This saying is still circulated in the harem to this day.

"It doesn't matter if you are favored, you can compare with the deposed concubine Shu." It can be seen that Shu was so favored back then, but Shu who was so favored was despised by Lin Jiu. This shows that Lin Jiu is In the eyes of the father, the status is higher than that of the Shu family.

"Back then, Shu relied on his father's favor to insult Lin Jiu, and also scolded Lin Jiu's parents and teachers. When Lin Jiu couldn't bear it anymore, he smashed Shu's head and complained in front of his father. After hearing this, my father said that it was a good smash, and he also deposed the Shu family and buried him with the rites of a commoner."

"The reason why Mr. Xiurong took Lin Jiu to Jiangnan is also related to the rumors in the harem. My father felt guilty towards Mr. Xiurong and the Lin family. As long as Lin Jiu did not commit a major crime of rebellion, my father would not be guilty of treason." Lin Jiu always turns a blind eye."

"Sir, Sir Xie is here." Tingzhu led Xie Yao into the study.

Xie Yao and the original owner were in the same class. One of them was the number one scholar this year, and the other was the second. Xie Yao was a more heroic-looking person, and he was upright. He hit it off with the original owner, and became close friends over time.

"Why would you let those little fresh meats in your house come to see me today?"

It's no secret in Beijing that Xie Yao likes handsome men. Her immediate boss, Zhang Yushi, had a lot of headaches about this, but Xie Yao still went her own way.

However, although Xie Yao's family has a little fresh meat, everyone is in love with each other. Although the courtiers murmured a few words, they would not openly talk about it.

"Although those little fresh meats are beautiful, they are not as important as you." Xie Yao sat next to Lin Jiu, "What are you reading?"

Lin Jiu handed the book in his hand to Xie Yao.

""The Legend of Chivalry""

Xie Yao's hand caressed the words on the book, and her eyes seemed to be missing something.

After a long time, Xie Yao handed the book to Lin Jiu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like this book."

"This book was very popular when it first came out. It tells about a chivalrous woman who fights for justice and eliminates violence. When people read it, they want to become the chivalrous woman in it. It's a pity that the author stopped updating it. As for me, I am squatting in this pit again. I can't get up either." Lin Jiu's mouth was full of regret.

"I wrote this book."

"You wrote it!" Lin Jiu looked at Xie Yao in surprise. She really couldn't imagine that Xie Yao could also write storybooks.

"Well, human beings? There was always a time when I was in the second grade of middle school, and I fantasized that I was a heroic hero who could help poor people live a good life, and that I was the knight who saved the world, so I wrote such a storybook. "

"Then why didn't you write it later? I also want to know what happened to the heroic woman in the end?"

"Later I couldn't continue writing, and I didn't want to end it hastily, so I just stopped writing."

When Xie Yao said this, there was a bit of sadness in her eyes. Lin Jiu knew that she was also a person with a story.

"I believe that one day you will write a perfect ending for Heroine."

Lin Jiu held Xie Yao's hand and said.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's you who went to buy story books as soon as your salary was paid. I think all your salary was spent on story books!" Xie Yao said with a smile.

"There's no other way, just this hobby."

"How about I introduce you to some fresh meat?" Xie Yao smiled maliciously.

"You should keep those little fresh meats for yourself! I can't afford them with my meager salary."

The two were just joking, and Xie Yao didn't take it seriously when Lin Jiu refused.

"By the way, you have been in the Hanlin Academy for almost a year and will be commissioned soon. Do you have a good place in mind?"

After high school, Xie Yao was asked to go by Zhang Yao, the head of the censorship, and Yang Qian, the most beautiful woman, was also sent to the Ministry of Rites. Only Lin Jiu entered the Hanlin Academy. Now that the one-year assessment period is over, Lin Jiu should also be promoted to an official. .

"If possible, I would choose to work outside the country and do some practical work in the local area."

Lin Jiu is not good at maneuvering, so instead of staying in the center of the whirlpool in the capital, he might as well choose to go out, so that he can do some practical things.

"It is also a good choice to put it outside at this time. Our boss has been asking me to be honest recently and not to cause trouble, as if I am the culprit."

"Master Zhang, this is for your own good."

"The old man is indeed a nice person, and he treats us subordinates well, so in order to let the old man live a few more years, I have been behaving well recently."
