The emperor was not angry. He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It's just right. You haven't dined with me for several days. You can stay today."

"Royal brother!" Xuan Zheng was really anxious at this moment.

The emperor admired his anxious look for a moment before saying, "Alright, you're already so old, but you still haven't made any progress. As long as it's your business, what hasn't your brother agreed to do?"

Until they left the imperial study, Lin Chengyu still didn't understand what the two brothers were talking about.

There was just one thing that seemed wrong to him.

Why is the emperor so indulgent, or even doting on his half-brother Xuanzheng?

Lin Chengyu was puzzled.

The emperor gave Xuan Zheng military power and a position second only to the emperor. Isn't he afraid that Xuan Zheng will have other thoughts?

Or, the emperor regards Xuan Zheng as a whetstone for the princes.

Xuan Zheng put his arm around his shoulders and squeezed Lin Chengyu's arm affectionately, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Lin Chengyu came back to his senses, "What did you just talk about with the emperor?"

After saying this, he felt that he had asked too many questions. If it was a royal secret, wouldn't he be making Xuan Zheng embarrassed by asking so many questions?

Lin Chengyu quickly added: "I'm just asking casually. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer."

Xuan Zheng was in a very good mood. He picked a flower and put it in Lin Chengyu's hair, laughing softly, "It's a good thing. You will know it soon. If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise."

"What are you doing?" Lin Chengyu raised her hand to take the flowers down. "Since it's a surprise, I won't ask."

Xuan Zheng held his hand to prevent him from moving, "You will know tomorrow. You will definitely be very happy then."

Whether Lin Chengyu will be happy tomorrow is tomorrow's business. He is not very happy now.

"Let go." Lin Chengyu deliberately said with a stern face, "Take it down, or I will be angry."

Xuan Zheng knew him so well that he could tell at first glance that he was pretending.

Just like a kitten with its fur standing up, so cute.

Xuan Zheng pretended not to hear anything and covered both of Lin Chengyu's hands with one hand. "How beautiful they are. Why take them off? Flowers go well with beauties. I think they are perfect."

Bullshit!

Lin Chengyu tried to hold back from swearing, "I am a man."

Xuan Zheng nodded, "My Chengyu is the most powerful man."

Lin Chengyu said: "Then take it down for me."

Xuan Zheng shook his head and pulled him forward, "The most beautiful flowers should be paired with the most powerful man."

The postures of the two were a bit strange. It didn't look like they were holding hands. Xuan Zheng had Lin Chengyu's hands wrapped with one hand, which made it look more like they were holding her hostage.

But the two of them get along very closely.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by didn't dare to look any longer. They bowed and buried their heads in their chests.

There were countless rare and precious plants in the imperial garden. The two of them were not in a hurry to leave the palace and return home. Xuan Zheng just took Lin Chengyu and strolled around slowly.

The flowers and plants that were sold at sky-high prices in the previous life are like free here. Lin Chengyu can't be said to be a flower lover, and these things are dispensable to him.

But Daiyu likes it.

Lin Chengyu walked slower and slower. Xuan Zheng looked at him with a smile in his eyes. Although he did not show it on his face, he actually knew exactly what he was thinking.

Lin Chengyu stopped and looked up at him. It was as if a starlight fell into her eyes, so bright and dazzling that it was brighter than the brightest gem in Xuan Zheng's private vault.

Xuan Zheng touched his head, which felt very good. He couldn't help but touch it again, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chengyu looked around and asked quietly, "These flowers and plants look good, can you move some of them away?"

Xuan Zheng was expecting him to beat around the bush, but he unexpectedly came straight to the point.

"You like it?" Xuan Zheng teased him, "I didn't expect that our Chengyu is also a flower lover."

Lin Chengyu nodded, then shook her head, "Sister likes it."

Xuan Zheng was very obedient to him and said, "I'll get someone to do it."

Lin Chengyu was happy, and just like she was acting like a spoiled child with her brother in her previous life, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Xuan Zheng on the face.

It was like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it caused huge waves in Xuan Zheng's heart.

Lin Chengyu held his hand and continued to walk forward, humming an unknown tune, looking very happy.

Xuan Zheng seemed to be stupid, and just let him pull him blankly.

Suddenly, a woman dressed as a palace maid fell in front of the two men.

Xuan Zheng came back to his senses immediately. He grew up in the palace and was very familiar with these twists and turns. He immediately pulled Cheng Yu behind him, and his broad back completely blocked her, not even a corner of her clothes was exposed.

"Which palace are you from? You are so unruly." Xuan Zheng said coldly.

The maid on the ground quickly got up, knelt on the ground, and said, "I am a maid in the imperial study. I fell because the mud was slippery. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This voice is very familiar. Lin Chengyu poked his head out from behind Xuan Zheng and said, "Raise your head."

The maid raised her head, and when her eyes met the face of the person in front of her, she quickly lowered her head.

In just this moment, Lin Chengyu had seen it clearly.

This person was the palace maid who almost spilled tea on his clothes in the imperial study just now.

It seems that he will not stop until he achieves his goal.

Xuan Zheng also recognized her. After doing this twice in a row, he had to suspect that this palace maid was trying to seduce his Cheng Yu.

How hateful.

His daughter Chengyu is beautiful, has a good family background, is smart and witty, and has extraordinary martial arts skills...

Xuan Zheng knew that many people were thinking about this young boy who was loved by everyone.

But he wouldn't allow it.

Chengyu is so cute, what should I do if she gets cheated?

Xuan Zheng mercilessly labeled the palace maid in front of him as scheming.

Xuan Zheng reached out and pressed Lin Chengyu's head back.

As the two were about to leave, the palace maid on the ground suddenly spoke up and asked, "Is this young master the son of Mr. Lin, the Yangzhou Salt Inspector?"

Xuan Zheng gritted his teeth, okay, this guy is looking for death!

The palace maid was waiting for Lin Chengyu's answer with hope in her eyes, but was suddenly enveloped by a dangerous aura.

She knelt on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, and said with difficulty, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. I just feel that this young master is somewhat similar to my aunt. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Lin Chengyu asked her in a seemingly ignorant manner: "What's your sister's name? Whose daughter is she?"

Xuan Zheng pinched his fingers and called him affectionately, and Lin Chengyu stroked his fur to calm him down.

The maid replied, "My surname is Jia, my name is Yuanchun, and I am the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion."

Only then did Xuan Zheng break free from the sour atmosphere. It turned out that they were really relatives.

Lin Chengyu came out from behind Xuan Zheng, smiled and helped her up, "It turns out to be my cousin Yuanchun. I have heard that my older cousin has entered the palace. Now that I see her, it is really as my grandmother said."

Xuan Zheng spoke quietly from behind him: "Chengyu, are you done? We should leave now."
