I heard you have nine tails

"Why?" Li Lin's reaction was unexpected, Jing Hedi was taken aback.

"The national teacher once said that children should not be married early." Li Lin said slowly.This time not only Jing Hedi, but also Eunuch Gao was stunned.Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe a word about the national teacher and Taoism.But these words at least eased Jing Hedi's face a lot. "You don't have to be afraid, it's not too early to talk about marriage at your age. I'll ask the national teacher later, there is always a way to resolve it."

As he spoke, he looked at the son with different eyes.Could it be that the prince has finally enlightened and knows how to figure out his own preferences?

What the national teacher said was indeed reasonable, if it was anything else, Emperor Jinghe would have followed suit.

However, it cannot be true that the prince will not marry forever!

Li Lin knew that this was not good. His father had already saved him enough face, which was unimaginable before.But thinking of the different feelings of the past few days, he still replied firmly: "I really don't want to get married."

Emperor Jing He frowned and looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "You boy, I'm afraid you already have a sweetheart. Just tell me directly, what are you afraid of. After the crown princess is registered, you will always add a few concubines. You If you really like it, then it’s okay for the court lady to confer a talented person Baolin. If you’re afraid that your uncle will speak of you, I’ll make the decision for you, okay?”

Emperor Jing He also came over at this age, knowing that young people are very angry, so there is no reason why they should not be close to women.The opposite sex that the prince can come into contact with in the palace is nothing more than maids of honor. This performance of the prince is obviously the beginning of love.

Eunuch Gao couldn't remember the last time Jing Hedi spoke to others in such a pleasant manner.It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to be at all grateful for his special encounter, and still said seriously: "The child has no intention of being a womanizer, and only wants to share the worries of the father, and does not want to marry."

Jing Hedi squinted his eyes, but he didn't believe what he said from the bottom of his heart, only thinking that he was bargaining. "Who are you looking for? Which court lady? There is absolutely no possibility for Di Liang, at most she is talented!"

Li Lin knelt down and said nothing, in the eyes of his father, he was proud of being favored.

"Why are you stubborn! Donkey temper!"

Jing Hedi finally couldn't restrain himself, and stopped drinking.Li Lin bowed down, but felt that such treatment made him adapt a lot. "As the child said, look at the father..."

"Get out, don't bother me here!"

Eunuch Gao trembled, and hurried forward to help Li Lin up, and sent him out of the hall. "Your Highness is too impulsive today." Eunuch Gao whispered after he came out.

If it hadn't been for the death day of the former empress, Chen Jiming happened to be in the capital, and the empress had greeted her in advance, His Majesty might not have thought of Prince Zhang Luo's marriage, and the prince's reaction was a little ignorant.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao, for reminding me." Li Lin didn't seem to care at all, nodded, and turned to go to Xianyang Palace.

He already had the answer in his heart. When he heard his father mention marrying a concubine, the resistance from the bottom of his heart was not the same as before. What's more, there was a person in his mind.

Tan Chang.

Thinking of the cute look of the little fox, Li Lin's eyes became warm.After a short distance, I felt a little impatient.

Tan Chang, on the other hand, was still studying the pile of books on Li Lin's desk.He knew that he couldn't help Li Lin, and that Li Lin was so tired that he was worried about him when he was busy with affairs and investigating cases, so he changed his exhausted temper and read books vigorously, thinking that he could at least do something for Li Lin .

Li Lin went back to the palace, greeted Jin Se Deshan, told him not to disturb as usual, then quietly went back to his bedroom, and saw a little fox concentrating on reading.

With a smile in his eyes, he approached quietly.

Li Lin practiced martial arts and learned some lightness kung fu, he made up his mind not to make a sound, and it really was.However, Tan Chang still raised his head alertly, "Squeak!"

Although he couldn't tell why, Li Lin still understood what the other party meant. "Well, I'm back."

Tan Changshu also didn't read it, and bumped his head into Li Lin's arms.

Li Lin didn't touch Tan Chang's tail and tell him some interesting things as usual, but instead looked serious, and even hesitated a little: "You...can you become a human first?"

Tan Changnahan, Li Lin repeatedly told him not to turn into a human at will, why did he go back on his word so quickly.But it wasn't difficult, so he jumped out of Li Lin's arms, turned into a boy with a shake, closed his clothes, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Lin forced himself to look away from Tan Chang's collar. "The emperor came to me today because he wanted me to marry a wife, the eldest daughter of General Jianwei."

"You, didn't you say it before..." Tan Chang's first reaction was to accuse Li Lin of being unreasonable, but he realized that this was proposed by Emperor Jinghe after all. What can Li Lin do?Thinking of it this way, a bit of sourness came to mind.General Jianwei's eldest daughter was the girl he met at the banquet that day. He could see clearly that the girl was also happy with Li Lin.That's right, who wouldn't like the young and promising Crown Prince?

Seeing that he seemed depressed, Li Lin felt that there was some drama in his heart, so he held Tan Chang's right hand with his left hand, and said slowly, "Don't be afraid, I have already pushed it away. Today I told my uncle to take his family home earlier. Yunnan, avoid the limelight. I promise you, I will keep my word."

Tan Chang was both surprised and happy. He was naturally happy because Li Lin valued his promise to him, but he was surprised because... "You don't show face like this, won't your father blame you?"

With the way this His Majesty threw the prince to Huaiyang to supervise the construction, and refused to let anyone come back, it doesn't seem like a broad-minded person.

Li Lin couldn't help laughing again, and gently helped Tan Chang trim his hair with his free right hand. "I've been here for so many years, who is afraid of anything. I mentioned this because I want to tell you something."

"Tell me." Tan Chang concentrated on Li Lin's words, not paying any attention to the intimate behavior of the two.He was used to being intimate with Li Lin, and he didn't feel anything when he noticed it.

"Father mentioned this matter today, and I realized that I already belonged." Li Lin spoke slowly, but every word was very solemn.

Tan Chang was aware of the other party's importance, but he still opened his eyes wide in surprise after hearing that sentence. "It's... Jinse?" Jinse's thoughts were not difficult to see, but it was easier for Tan Chang.But what Li Lin thought, he didn't dare to use spells, he could only rely on speculation.

"What are you thinking?" Li Lin said angrily at first, and then said slowly: "I have never been close to women, whether it is the maids around me, or those ladies from aristocratic families that I occasionally glimpsed at the banquet. I thought I was serious. It's a rock that doesn't understand, until I met..." He slowed down his speech, Tan Chang's eyes stared at him without blinking, and Li Lin's almost pious expression was reflected in his dark red pupils.

"Until I met you." Li Lin finally said, as if afraid that the other party might not understand, he repeated, "The person I like is you."

Tan Chang's first reaction was to widen his eyes, unable to believe his ears.

"You, you..." Tan Chang wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say. Only then did he realize that his hand was still being held by the other party, and he was about to pull it out subconsciously.But Li Lin held her tightly, "Don't refuse in a hurry." Li Lin sped up his speech a little, "Wait until I finish."

Tan Chang didn't speak or wave his hands, but he still lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the other party.

"I...I'm serious." On the way back, Li Lin had already anticipated Tan Chang's various reactions, and the one in front of him was the most likely one, and it was not considered the worst in Li Lin's mind.He was still very serious, confessing himself as if talking about court affairs. "I have never felt this way about others. I feel very happy when I see you do anything. I will worry and miss you when I don't see you. Even when I see others approaching you, I still don't like it. You are still young, maybe you are not yet I understand, but I can tell the difference between family affection, friendship and... and this kind of affection, I have already figured it out."

Although Li Lin's tone was flat, what he said couldn't be more straightforward. Tan Chang listened blankly with wide-eyed eyes, and even forgot to refute the three words "you are still young".He is already a hundred years old, obviously several times older than Li Lin.

"I don't want to spend my life with a person who has no feelings." Li Lin's words finally contained some emotions, which were fluctuations that Tan Chang didn't fully understand. "I also know that love between men is difficult for the world to tolerate, and you should hesitate. Besides, you are a fairy beast, and I think you are much older than me, or this is humiliating you. But I have this intention , I want to tell the truth. If you feel offended, you can leave now. But I will still do what I promised you, I will not marry a wife and take concubines, and I will definitely investigate to the end when talking about the Grand Tutor. "

At the end, Li Lin's voice was sonorous and powerful.After speaking, he didn't say anything, even let go of Tan Chang's hand, letting Tan Chang decide.

He had cut open his own heart, and placed it clearly in front of the other party.If the other party refuses again, he has nothing to regret.

Tan Chang was still speechless.Li Lin considered everything he thought about, the reasons for his refusal, and even what he didn't expect, and mentioned them one by one.

Tan Chang was not surprised by the sex between men.In fact, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan also often has same-sex love affairs, and the elders have always disagreed. They also told them that the immortals are all born with extraordinary births, and that they are born as men and women in the flesh.What's more, the nine-tailed fox family is a spirit beast, so there is no need to worry about reproduction.

What surprised him was that Li Lin not only had such a heart for him, but also said it outright.

In Tan Chang's view, his position is very clear.In the beginning, he was a dispensable little pet of His Highness the Crown Prince, but Li Lin took pity on him, so he did not throw him to the Taoist priest for alchemy.After discovering his supernatural powers, Li Lin wanted to protect him.As for getting to know him, it's even easier. Li Lin wants to protect this junior who once had a classmate friendship.He couldn't even think of it, how did it evolve into what Li Lin said, that...

Just thinking about what Li Lin said, Tan Chang's face gradually turned red.

This moment is different than ever.Tan Chang turned into a human body with fair complexion, and his blush became more obvious, unlike when he was a fox in the past, he was covered by hair.Li Lin saw it, but didn't ask, but still waited patiently for the other party's answer.

"You..." Tan Chang couldn't ignore the burning and persistent gaze. He looked at Li Lin with unspeakable taste, and all the things he had experienced together flashed through his mind, as well as the grievances and grievances when he thought he was going to be abandoned by Li Lin. Lost, the rejection that should have been blurted out has also changed. "Let me think about it."

Li Lin nodded happily, and picked up Tan Chang's drooping lock of hair to help him keep it behind his head, and noticed with joy that Tan Chang's little face turned even redder.

After the confession, the two of them seemed to have returned to normal, what should be done as usual.

It's not that Li Lin didn't want to go further, but he was afraid that he would force the little fox away if he moved too fast.Tan Chang has spells, if he really goes far away, it will be difficult for Li Lin to find him back.What's more, what Li Lin said before was so calm.So he tried his best to maintain the state of the past, supervised Tan Chang's reading and practice of calligraphy, occasionally gave pointers, and talked about the government affairs of the court and China from time to time.

Tan Chang is trying to maintain his composure.He listened to Li Lin's confession that day, and every time he got along with him, he would always blush. Fortunately, his hair is red, which can be concealed a little bit.Because of Li Lin's frank attitude, he didn't want to take the initiative to avoid it, which made him seem too petty.

So the two had their own thoughts, and they looked no different from the past.

But no matter how much they think about each other, there is one thing that must be done together, and that is to investigate and talk about the truth of Taifu's death.

Jueming led Li Lin's subordinates to search through the files of the Ministry of Officials, and quickly found the resume of the former imperial doctor Zhang who passed away, as well as information about his family.According to Jueming, Doctor Zhang lived in the east of the city. On New Year's Eve four years ago, someone set off firecrackers, which unfortunately ignited the house. The whole family undoubtedly survived.Doctor Zhang Yu had a former disciple who served in the Imperial Academy.However, after Doctor Zhang passed away, the disciple left the palace without knowing where he went.

fire.Li Lin could perceive the mystery just by hearing it, and couldn't help sneering.There were not so many disasters in the world, but with people and greed, everything came into being.

On the one hand, he ordered Jue Ming and others to dig three feet to find the missing apprentice, and on the other hand, he tried every means to bring the case of the imperial doctor's death from the Ministry of Criminal Justice without attracting people's attention.

Li Lin was still thinking about going to a house chat, but unfortunately, after he had a face-to-face argument with Emperor Jing He, his father seemed to have never calmed down.It was at the cusp of the storm, it was not good for him to leave the palace rashly.

On this day, Li Lin went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects as usual, and then went to the cabinet to process documents and review them one by one. The four or three princes were conferred the titles of King Yanping, King Jingjiang and King Weinan respectively.

According to Dazhao's practice, the prince is crowned king when he reaches adulthood, and goes to the fiefdom after his wedding.This intention is mainly to maintain the status of the prince.Several brothers of Emperor Jinghe were confiscated early on.However, Jing Hedi's move is puzzling.If you want to maintain the status of the crown prince, why did you confer the title of the three princes, but never mention the matter of Jiufan?If the other princes are still young, but the second prince Li Yun is already married, even if he doesn't immediately become a feudal clan, he should mention a fiefdom in the imperial edict.If you don't mention the vassal state at all, but make the youngest, the 12-year-old fourth prince, the county king, are you protecting the prince or warning the prince?

Naturally, Zhan Shifu was discussing again.When Yang Jingrun came, he also had a sad face. After kneeling down and saluting, he said, "Your Highness may be in trouble."

"What does Mr. Yang mean?"

Yang Jingrun sighed and said: "I know that Your Highness is kind-hearted, and has deep affection for the three princes. But if His Majesty intends to support one of them to fight against His Highness, and use this to check and balance His Highness, even if His Highness is unwilling, do you want to give in every step of the way?"

Li Lin also sighed, "Such a thing can only be said in front of Gu."

"I can save it naturally." Yang Jingrun continued, "The Second Highness is married and will move into the palace in a few days, so is the Third Highness. Besides, the Third Highness has always been at odds with you, and there was the Huaiyang incident before... I'm afraid At that time, I will inevitably add trouble to you."

Li Lin thought of the rebellious third brother, and gave a meaningful "huh". "Since he entered the court, he has caused a lot of trouble for Gu. Are you still afraid of this?"

"Your Highness, what are you talking about!" Yang Jingrun raised his voice, "How can a county king and a prince be compared? After the king is established, he can openly recruit his staff and ministers and cultivate his power. Those courtiers are used to facing the wind, so it is inevitable that they will be shaken. .Furthermore, if you stay in Beijing to do business, if you do meritorious service, you may be promoted to prince in three to five years." Yang Jingrun's voice became faster and higher, and he couldn't stop his excitement.

Li Lin saw that the book under Tan Chang's paw hadn't been turned for a long time, obviously listening intently, and felt a little relieved. "Mr. Yang, please be calm and don't be impatient." Li Lin's voice was still calm and soothing.

Yang Jingrun took a breath and said, "Forgive me, Your Highness. I was worried for a while and lost my composure."

"Mr. Yang's worries, how can I not know." Li Lin shook his head and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, this matter is not up to the son or brother. If it is really the father's intention, there is no other way but to follow it." If you blindly flatter your father, you can't do this kind of thing alone, even if you do it, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

"Brothers have always been taboo in the heavenly family. As an elder brother and a prince, no matter what you want to do, you can't do it alone." Li Lin thought of his third brother Li Ji, and his smile gradually faded.

"Conferring the king is a common practice. As Gu expected, I'm afraid that the second brother will make some moves soon. Let's wait and see what happens, and don't mess up our position first."

After Li Lin finished speaking, Yang Jingrun's expression looked a lot better.Yang Jingrun wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is calm and steady, I'm so old that I'm far behind."

"Mr. Yang is just worried and chaos will follow."

Tan Chang's tail moved slightly.I don't know if he was overthinking, but it seems that Li Lin's words "worry leads to chaos" are not just for Yang Jingrun.

Tan Chang was indeed worried. Hearing that the annoying third prince had also been crowned king at first glance was indeed very unpleasant, not to mention that this happened after Li Lin refused to marry a wife.I don't know if Li Lin told anyone in Zhan Shifu about this.Tan Chang's paws rubbed back and forth on the ground, and the pages of the book were also crumpled by him.

Regarding the matter of marrying a wife, when I think about it carefully, I feel that Li Lin is just talking nonsense.If he doesn't get married, how will he have a baby, and if there is no baby, where will he get an heir?But Li Lin said few words in front of him that day, and his attitude was sincere, and it really didn't seem like he was lying to him.

The more Tan Chang thought about it, the more irritable he became, and his tail was wagging. Maybe it was because he was worried that he was messed up.

"Keep an eye on Prince Yuanshan. When the second brother got married, he and the third brother looked very close. It takes time to recruit ministers, so it's never too much to be careful."

After Li Lin finished his last words, he sent Yang Jingrun out, and when he came back, he saw the little fox looking irritable.

While Tan Chang was still in a daze, he felt his tail being pinched.He wanted to resist, but his body was already used to this kind of treatment, allowing his eccentric master and brother to play with his tail.

"You once said that I am Qianlong." Li Lin combed the fiery red soft fox fur, and asked casually, "Then what about my brothers, what are they?"

At first, Tan Chang found that Li Lin had overheard his outspoken words, and his body froze unnaturally, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he gradually had some ideas.

He struggled out of Li Lin's hand, moved to the edge of the inkstone step by step, with a little ink on the tip of his tail, he skillfully wrote a word on the paper: Jiao.

"Jiao." Li Lin read out clearly, folded his arms, and shook his head.

Jiao, also known as Diyin, is said to be hidden in lakes and rivers, and can enter the sea and transform into a dragon after practicing for 1000 years. "However, Qianlong is also in the water, so what is the difference between it and Jiao?"

Tan Chang was contemplative, and when he heard Li Lin's question, his fluffy and soft tail flicked quickly, and behind the word "Jiao", two large cursive characters were written like flowing water: no horns.

Jiao Wujiao!

How can you show your majesty without horns?Even in the same water, Jiao and Dragon are different!

Li Lin finally smiled.After laughing, he patted Tan Chang's head. "You're right," he whispered. "It's a fuss."

In fact, he wasn't exactly as indifferent as he was in front of Yang Jingrun.I am afraid that there is no son in the world who does not admire his father. As the crown prince, Li Lin has been reprimanded by Emperor Jinghe many times, and he will inevitably feel discouraged at times.

He would also think that he was proud to be crowned prince only because he was born in the womb of the queen mother, and how was it different from the princes who were born in the womb of other concubines or Queen Xu.

Tan Chang's words are undoubtedly the best motivation.If he really denies himself and denies his actions to please his father, then he is no different from his younger brothers.

After laughing, Li Lin remembered another word that Tan Chang had inadvertently mentioned. "You said, I have dragon energy on me? Is it harmful to you?"

Tan Chang was still a little wary at first, but he didn't know that the other party was simply worried about himself.Thinking of Li Lin's words again, Tan Changcai finally admitted that what Li Lin might have said was true.Otherwise, once the crown prince becomes a prince, how could he care about a fox like him instead of asking about the future position?

While Tan Chang was feeling emotional, he did not forget to write on the paper to explain: Dragon Qi is helpful for cultivation.

"Practice." Li Lin murmured.This was the first time Tan Chang talked about this in front of him. "Is it cultivation to become a fairy?"

Li Lin's voice sounded a bit strange, and Tan Chang didn't understand it at first. After thinking carefully, he saw Li Lin muttering the word "cultivation" again, and he suddenly realized: Li Lin probably remembered that he was also obsessed with cultivation and wanted to live forever. The ageless King and Emperor are gone.

But how can a mortal and a nine-tailed fox cultivate in the same way.Tan Changzheng was hesitating how to comfort Li Lin, but also thought that it would be troublesome to write, so it would be better to transform into a human form.But before he could move, he saw Li Lin looking over with a smile, with his palm resting on Tan Chang's nose. "In that case, then you have to think carefully about whether you want to leave me."

Tan Chang looked at the other party in disbelief, yelled at the other party arrogantly, and jumped aside.

Li Lin smiled and didn't care.

He did think of his father at that moment.His father has practiced alchemy and Taoism for many years, just to achieve immortality, and even become a fairy.Li Lin had never believed in ghosts and gods, nor did he believe what the priests and national teachers said. He hated his father and emperor for being obsessed with cultivation and forgetting about the people of his family and country.

Having seen Tan Chang, and hearing that the cultivation of immortals is true, Li Lin was also momentarily shaken, whether he was too harsh and misunderstood his father.However, that momentary wavering disappeared quickly, under the little fox's eyes with substance.What really made him dissatisfied with what Jing Hedi did was not entirely about cultivating Taoism.

There are so many emperors in history, there are not a few who want to pursue immortality. However, what he is most dissatisfied with is that Emperor Jinghe forgot to be an emperor because of Taoism. Ask good policy.

Li Lin didn't dare to forget his duty, nor did he dare to think beyond his duty.

Although the little fox with clear eyes and a pure heart claimed that he would not use magic to pierce his thoughts.

But Li Lin knew it, and so did God.

Li Lin looked at the little fox who was squatting and reading a book seriously, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.

The three princes are crowned kings, and a grand canonization ceremony will be held.As for Dazhao Jinghe Yi Dynasty, whenever there is a grand ceremony, there must be a national teacher to preside over the divination.

There was harmony in Kunning Palace, the second concubine was talking to Empress Xu, while Li Lin was chatting with his second and fourth younger brothers.Huang Er was lying at the entrance of the hall, looking at Tan Chang from time to time with admiration and closeness.The little fox lay on Li Lin's lap and shook its fur lazily, refusing to take a look at the big yellow dog with burning eyes.

The fourth prince Li Xiaoduan was sitting upright, but his eyes kept glancing at the little fox in Li Lin's arms.

"Fourth brother was praised by Mr. again? That's great." The second prince's praise came from his heart.He was lonely and inferior since he was a child, and he didn't dare to ask his teacher questions when he was studying, so his level was not high or low. This is also a major reason why Jing Hedi didn't value him.

Li Xiao was praised by his brother, thanked him politely, then touched his head, showing a simple smile. "Where is the second brother, the younger brother is still far from the elder brother of the prince."

"What do you compare with him? After all, he is a great Confucian..." The second prince swallowed his words halfway, and smiled embarrassingly.

Tan Chang could naturally hear that the second prince originally wanted to mention Taifu Tan.Li Lin didn't react too much when he was poked into this heart disease.I just told the fourth prince: "Don't be greedy in your studies and compare yourself, it's important to lay a solid foundation. Your gentlemen are all great Confucian scholars in the Imperial Academy. Don't look down on them after you become king because of your progress."

"Of course my younger brother won't." The fourth prince hastily made an assurance.

Li Lin took the initiative to mention the matter of becoming a king, and the second prince took up the conversation hesitantly, "Your Highness, look, what does the emperor mean?"

What do you mean, it's nothing more than to frighten the prince and let him know who is right.Seeing the terrified expression of the second prince, Li Lin raised his lips, "What are you afraid of? It's just following the rules, so you can be crowned the county king. If you were crowned prince, would you still be so afraid of rejecting your father?"

"This..." The second prince broke out in a cold sweat.He didn't want to be a pawn in the game between the crown prince and the third prince, but he didn't want to offend his majestic father even more.

"What are you brothers talking about, let me listen to you too." Empress Xu broke the silence with a smile.She asked Mrs. Wu to come and sit in Kunning Palace, and let her sit beside her to show her affection.This marriage was concluded by Empress Xu alone, and Mrs. Wu spoke to her very respectfully, even more solemnly than her mother-in-law.

"My son is talking about being king with my younger brother." Li Lin replied calmly.

"Oh, this is a common practice. Princes will have to suffer like this." Empress Xu deliberately said lightly, then looked at Wu, and said lovingly: "My good boy, your father was still with me a few days ago. Speaking of this... According to this palace, the two of you are still young, and the matter of heirs is fate, so don't be so impatient. Erlang also takes care, even if he is named the county king, he should not take his wife lightly, you know?"

The second prince and the Wu family have been married for less than two months, which is the time of deep affection.Wu blushed when she heard this, but she was very grateful to Empress Xu in her heart: Emperor Jing He meant to put people around the second prince.The second prince couldn't hear so many twists and turns, so he only smiled and agreed to Queen Xu's words, "I must treat her well."

"She..." The second prince wanted to say something, but Wu Shi blinked at him and shook his head, the second prince stopped talking and just stared at him with a smile.

Most of the people in the room saw the young couple's small movements, but they didn't say anything, just smiled and pretended not to see it.

Tan Chang lazily turned over and rubbed against Li Lin's knee.He could see that the Wu family already had a dragon child in her belly.And this is still a promising one, still in the womb, and faintly in the shape of a dragon.

Tan Chang felt bored for a while and leaned up to lick Li Lin's hand habitually. This action was very familiar at first, but when he saw Li Lin's hand stiffen, and then glanced at him, Tan Chang's small body Then I was taken aback for a moment—it was bad, I forgot that the two of them were still arguing.

Li Lin didn't think too much about it. Seeing that the little fox was as usual, he took cakes from the table and fed him.

Among the desserts served in Xianyang Palace today, pea yellow is the most requested.Naturally, someone would report this kind of trivial matter to Queen Xu, so there was only a plate of pea yellow for dim sum on the table today.

Empress Xu whispered a few more words to Mrs. Wu, and then told the young couple to go back, and let the fourth prince go back to the room to study.Li Xiao saw that the queen mother had something to say to the elder brother of the prince, and left obediently. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at Tan Chang more.

"Da Lang, don't blame them." Empress Xu pondered for a moment before finally speaking.She called Li Lin and Li Yun to Kunning Palace today because she wanted to test Li Lin's attitude towards his younger brothers.But she really didn't see anything wrong, so she had no choice but to continue talking as she had planned.

"You don't need to talk about the mother." Li Lin waved his hand, "I don't blame anyone for what this has to do with them."

"You..." Empress Xu's prepared words were choked back.She shook her head helplessly. "You child looks easy to talk, but you have a stubborn temper. I look very good at Yue'e, don't you like it?"

Tan Chang was inexplicably worried.Li Lin didn't look down at him, but still combed his hair slowly with his fingers, "I don't like it."

"Then... what about the Xu family?" Empress Xu asked tentatively.

Li Lin didn't speak, just smiled lightly.

Empress Xu expressed the intention of refusing, so she had no choice but to say: "That's all, I know I can't hold you back, you are not even afraid of your father, let alone me. What kind of person do you want to find?"

"I want to find someone I like." Li Lin said unhurriedly.

Obviously what Li Lin said was very natural, but for some reason, Tan Chang felt that his face and the place where Li Lin's fingers brushed were burning.

Empress Xu was choked again, and she didn't want to mention this again, so she could only say: "I think Erlang and the Wu family are both honest and responsible. Even if you become king, there is no threat to you, and maybe you can help one or two. .Silang is still young, and you have to wait two years to help you. But Concubine Hui is dishonest. You can think about it, if Sanlang is really...what will you do?"

Li Lin didn't answer directly, but slowly followed Tan Chang's body and grabbed his big tail.After a long time, he finally answered the wrong question and said: "Mother, the fourth brother is not young anymore."

Empress Xu's dignified expression suddenly turned into a mask, covering her face.

"My son means that the fourth brother also has his own ideas. After becoming king in the future, the queen mother should not treat him as a child."

Empress Xu reluctantly said, "I understand this, of course."

"Concubine Hui, the Yao family don't understand this truth." Li Lin snorted, "He..."

Li Lin's words were drowned in the eunuch's sharp voice: "I beg to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What's the matter!" Empress Xu got up and hurried out, Li Lin followed behind her, Tan Chang lay on his shoulder.Li Lin was taken aback when he saw the little eunuch kneeling by the door. "You, you are Eunuch Gao's apprentice?" This eunuch looked familiar, it was clearly the one who quietly reported to Tan Chang when he took him to the Qianqing Palace when he caught fish.

"Your Highness has met Your Highness. Your Highness, please follow this servant!" The eunuch kowtowed to the ground with a mournful face.When Empress Xu heard that it was Eunuch Gao, Jing and the people around Emperor Jing, their expressions changed. "What the hell is going on, get up and tell the truth!"

The eunuch had no choice but to raise his head, and whispered: "General Jianwei and the national teacher have quarreled!"

Only this sentence, he dare not say more.

Li Lin nodded to Empress Xu, and saluted, "I will take my leave first."

Empress Xu had no choice but to raise her voice: "You...don't contradict Your Majesty directly!"

"Your servant can save you."

When Li Lin followed the eunuch to Qianqing Palace, his expression was still normal, and he even asked distractedly, "I haven't asked your father-in-law for your name yet."

"The slave's surname is Feng." The eunuch forced a smile, "His Royal Highness, come quickly."

Li Lin didn't say much, just stuffed Tan Chang into his outer robe.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the court lady and eunuch knelt down tremblingly, and Chen Jiming's angry roar was clearly visible: "Your Majesty, what does this mean!"

I don't know who said what, but Chen Jiming's tone became more and more aggressive, "I have made great contributions to Dazhao. Does your Majesty really want to listen to such absurd remarks!"

"I can't bear this kind of humiliation, so I will resign!"

The palace door rushed open, and the aggressive Chen Jiming rushed out with big strides, his face flushed red.He didn't even see Li Lin, so he walked away quickly. Eunuch Gao came out after him, "General, general!"

He didn't stop Chen Jiming a few times, but Eunuch Gao noticed Li Lin and saluted quickly.

"Your Highness... Why are you here, Your Highness?"

When Eunuch Gao saw Li Lin, he was a little surprised.Li Lin looked at that eunuch Feng silently, Eunuch Gao gradually understood, and his face darkened.Eunuch Feng knelt down and said, "I really can't do anything..."

"Shut up! I'll settle the score with you later!" Eunuch Gao scolded, and then said, "Your Highness, you'd better..."

"Who's out there?"

Jing Hedi's voice came, cold and clear.

"Yes... Your Highness the Crown Prince." Eunuch Gao had no choice but to reply.

"Prince?" The voice became more and more clear, and the footsteps approached step by step, "Are you here to intercede with Chen Jiming?"

Li Lin immediately knelt down and saluted, "I don't dare! I just stopped here when I saw the maids and eunuchs outside the palace. I happened to see... General Jianwei being rude."

Emperor Jinghe finally walked to the gate of the palace, stared at him for a moment, and said, "Master, tell me."

Emperor Jing He didn't excuse him, so Li Lin could only kneel down and see the national teacher with his belly puffed up, walking in front of him swaggeringly. "General Jianwei leaked his hostility, which would hurt the peace of heaven. I'm afraid he will offend the prince, so he is not suitable to attend the canonization ceremony." The national teacher seemed to shake his head regretfully.Li Lin's face sank, and he said coldly: "According to what you said, those soldiers who fought on the battlefield and served the country are all too hostile. Even if they return from meritorious service, they will not be able to participate in the court ceremony?"

This question was so fierce that the national teacher's smile disappeared for a moment, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness is a ruler, you should know the principles of impartiality and inaction, why do you frequently commit murders?"

"Does the national teacher mean that those who persecute the people, embezzle the treasury, and commit heinous crimes should do nothing and let them develop?" Li Lin's tone was dark and stern, no less than Chen Jiming's roar just now.

"Shut up!" The argument was interrupted by Jing Hedi himself.He stared at his eldest son angrily: "You, go back to Xianyang Palace and prepare to participate in the grand ceremony!" Emperor Jinghe turned to the national teacher again, his tone still firm, "Please go back to the national teacher, I am not feeling well today. I can't entertain the national teacher anymore."

Both of them bowed to Jing Hedi and bid farewell. They looked at each other coldly and went in opposite directions.
