I heard you have nine tails

Li Lin walked out of the palace, seeing Deshan who couldn't hide his worry and Eunuch Gao with downcast eyes, he finally relaxed.After the door closed, he said softly, "Please worry, Eunuch Gao." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, swung his long sleeves, and slipped it into Eunuch Gao's hand without any trace.

"Your Highness is serious, this is a slave's business." Eunuch Gao took the words appropriately, "Go back quickly, this old slave will also enter the palace to serve, the third prince just came here earlier, His Majesty must also tired."

Li Lin nodded as a thank you, and the group returned to Xianyang Palace.

Tan Chang just saw it in a daze, but he also understood that someone was using him to provoke the relationship between Jing Hedi and the prince, and the very unpleasant third prince couldn't get away from it.

What he didn't understand was Jing Hedi's sudden turn and Li Lin's outspoken behavior.

When they arrived at Xianyang Palace, Li Lin asked Deshan to go out.Jinse came to meet them, brought them tea, and went out.Tan Chang realized belatedly that he and his master were left alone in the house again.

Li Lin didn't take the initiative to talk to him, but went back to the palace to change his clothes, and then sat down at the table again.In the past, at this time, it was time to go to the school to practice martial arts. Deshan knocked on the door and called out: "Master, if you are not feeling well..."

"Come here alone."

Li Lin changed into short clothes and walked outside.

Tan Chang hesitated for a moment, and followed him out.

Seeing Li Lin drawing his bow and shooting arrows as if he had nothing to worry about, Tan Chang slowly jumped onto the roof and lay down on his stomach.The afternoon sun was warm but not hot, and the frequency of wagging his tail gradually decreased, as if slowly falling asleep.Until I heard the whispering of the palace maid.

"Sister, is this from the Imperial Dining Room?"

"No, it was the empress who sent someone to send it just now. She said that she heard that His Royal Highness was holy, so she sent it to soothe the gods."

"Your Majesty is really kind to His Highness."

"Heh, Baiji, you are too ignorant. No matter how nice the empress is to His Royal Highness, can she surpass her own parents and children? After all, she didn't crawl out of her belly. Who knows what's going on in her heart?"

The sun was shining unevenly, Tan Chang turned over, revealing his pale belly.

Not far away, Li Lin was still riding a horse and shooting arrows. It was not until Tan Chang fell asleep that he was called down.

At dinner, Tan Chang saw the ginseng and pig brain five-flavor soup sent by the queen.Seeing the pig's brain floating in the soup, Tan Chang felt a little creepy.He has also seen him these few days, and the meals in Xianyang Palace are very light—except for the roast chicken prepared for him every day, and Li Lin can't see any preference, and he doesn't eat much of anything.

He was still wondering what Li Lin would do, when he saw Li Lin took the soup and drank it down.

"Jinser."

Jinse was serving the prince's meal, and raised her head as soon as her name was called, "What's your order?"

"You disposed of the two little girls?" Li Lin's tone could not be described as joyful or angry.Jinse replied: "Exactly, the two Banxia and Baiji heard that the empress had brought soothing soup, and they were gossiping behind their backs, so the slaves asked people to deal with it according to the palace rules, and now they are locked in the firewood room, waiting for them to reflect. Alright, let’s send it to clean up.”

Gossiping behind your back can be big or small, and it depends on the person.And these two critics are the lord of the harem, who is also the queen mother of the crown prince, and if it is spread, it will bring disaster.Li Lin nodded, "You've done a good job. Find an opportunity to send them away." Such a troublesome court lady should find a leisurely job first, and send them away when she is free.

Jinse came out of the queen's palace, so she naturally knew how to deal with this kind of thing, she bowed her body for a while, and stopped talking.

It was rare for Tan Chang to eat slowly.In fact, he has very mixed tastes and can eat anything, but he is usually greedy and it is difficult to show such a calm demeanor.Li Lin took care of him, and every time he ate at the same table, he would give him a small plate of various dishes.

The name Baiji sounds familiar, he thought, and drank another bowl of chicken soup.

The empress is so young, and she gave birth to the fourth prince. If she is not the biological mother of the prince, then who is she?

Li Lin didn't bother to pay attention to the mental state of the pet, and went out when he was full.Tan Chang was left alone again. He wandered around the hall, bored, and finally walked out from the main entrance openly.Deshan immediately asked someone to follow.

Li Lin forbade Tan Chang to go to the Imperial Garden, but he did not forbid him to hang around in Xianyang Palace.Tan Chang ran directly to the firewood room.

Xianyang Palace has a small kitchen, so it also has a firewood room.When Tan Chang first arrived, he wandered around in order to escape.When he passed by the small kitchen, the maids and eunuchs here thought he was hungry, so they seized the time to cook for him.

The aroma of the chicken was so strong that Tan Chang sniffed, ran over firmly, and finally arrived at the firewood room.

There are charcoal fires piled up in the firewood room, and there are bundles of firewood in bags.The two maids are locked here.Jinse was afraid that the two of them would talk nonsense, so she specially ordered a sack to cover her head and gag her mouth.Tan Chang couldn't recognize which was which, so he ran to squat nearby one by one for a while, and at the same time hid carefully in the shadows.

This was the first time he used a spell since he was caught in the True Yuan Temple.Tan Chang carefully wrapped the person's chest with aura, tightly and tightly, without leaking anything.

He found the right person.The maid in front of her should be called Banxia, ​​she was full of complaints, she was silently cursing Baiji and Jinse, and she also had the idea of ​​replacing Jinse.

Tan Chang looked at these impatiently, but he could only peep at the other person's thoughts at the moment, so he could only wait.

Sure enough, Pinellia scolded Empress Xu for her hypocrisy in her heart, so she specially sent Jinse to take care of the young prince. If the queen hadn't had poor fortune and died of illness early, how could it be her turn to be queen.

died of illness.young.After catching several keys, the fox's tail moved slightly.

When Li Lin went to Kunning Palace to thank him, he went to the front court again, and when he returned to Xianyang Palace, he heard about the little fox going to the woodshed. One roast chicken.

I'm so used to him.Li Lin murmured in his heart, walked for a long time, saw that the roast chicken also had some appetite, and immediately decided to confiscate it. "Tell them to warm up a jug of wine and bring it back."

"Wine..." Do you want the fox to drink?Deshan's face was about to contort.Li Lin tore off a chicken leg on his own.

If it was normal, Tan Chang might have blown his hair.But this time he was lying peacefully at Li Lin's feet, watching him eat chicken legs.

On the contrary, Li Lin was a little unaccustomed to seeing him so honest, and teased him by teasing him with a piece of chicken from time to time. "Beifeng, don't you want to eat it? Roast chicken is really delicious."

"Really don't want to eat it? Then Gu will eat it."

After teasing him two or three times like this, the little fox didn't respond except to look at him with burning eyes and move his paws from time to time.Li Lin finally started to worry.As soon as Deshan brought the wine, Li Lin said, "Look, Beifeng was scared to death when he saw Father today."

"Your Highness... how can you say such nonsense?"

"Gu is not talking nonsense, His Majesty is going to take him to make alchemy, if he understands, it is normal for him to be frightened." Li Lin looked calm and poured himself a glass of wine. "Go out and guard."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been self-disciplined. Occasionally, when he is in a bad mood, he will send eunuchs and maids to watch over him, have a drink by himself, and return to normal the next day. Neither His Majesty nor His Majesty will know.Most of the noble masters in the palace had some hobbies, and Deshan didn't feel anything, so he exited the hall and closed the door.

Li Lin took a big sip of wine, lowered his head and asked Tan Chang, "Can you really understand human speech?"

Tan Chang didn't respond.

Li Lin didn't mind, he swallowed the wine, took another bite of the chicken and began to chew. "Actually... it's good that you don't understand." He wasn't very hungry, but he felt empty in his chest. After drinking, it finally burned up, which made him feel better.

"Actually, Gu can guess what those two maids said, but Zuo is just those words, which have been passed down in the palace..."

The spirit of wine seemed to be on the rise, and Li Lin started talking about everything.The little fox finally reacted, jumped onto the desk, and lay down in front of him.The light from the candles gilded the fox's flaming fur.Li Lin finally indulged himself and stretched out his hand to touch it. The little fox lay obediently on its stomach.The living creature feels different from those futon dolls. The soft hair root is warm, and it burns Li Lin's hand, making him say a lot unconsciously:

"Gu... the biological empress has passed away for many years, and the emperor has always loved her very much. It is thanks to her that Gu was able to sit in this seat early."

Li Lin's tone was straightforward.How can there be any single-mindedness in the royal family, and how can there be any loving couples?Some, it is nothing more than the inner memories of those who have lost the people in front of them, and the endless reminiscences.

When she was alive, Empress Chen might not have been Jing Hedi's favorite person, but because of her family background and status, she became the master of the harem.After she died, she enjoyed the emperor's favor.Even the only son, who had been unknown until now, was named the crown prince early in the morning.

Li Lin's impression of his mother who died young has gradually become blurred. All he can recall is the faint fragrance of her body, holding his gentle hand, and wearing a furry scarf for him in winter, making him toys, and on his birthday. Give him a bowl of noodles with his own hands - Li Lin recalled the taste of that bowl of noodles for many years alone.

Faced with Li Lin's rare confession, Tan Chang listened silently.Nine-tailed foxes survive in groups, and the young foxes of the same generation grow up and practice together. They are particularly precocious, and the concept of parents and relatives is very vague.Tan Chang broke away from the group early and wandered alone. Ordinarily, there shouldn't be any resonance.However, he understood what Li Lin said.

There was a person who stroked his head with a big hand without any malice.She taught him every word, cooked for him with her own hands, treated him like a child, and finally sent him away.

Tan Chang couldn't bring the dead back to life, so he could only listen quietly, acting as a pet who would be harmless and silent even if he confided to him on the spur of the moment.

Li Lin only drank the jug of wine, gradually exhausted his words, and fell into a deep sleep.As the night deepened, Tan Chang crawled over to wrap around Li Lin's neck, and fell asleep on his shoulder, giving him some warm comfort.

When Li Lin woke up, the sky was bright, and the big red "scarf" around his neck was still sleeping soundly.

When Deshan helped him get up, he hesitated to speak, and the leftovers on the small table had already been removed.If the "scarf" was not still there, all traces of last night would have been wiped clean.

There is a soft and warm touch on the neck. Seeing the little fox with its eyes closed, Li Lin's heart feels inexplicably peaceful.Tan Chang occasionally moved his tail in his sleep, and the tip of his tail brushed against Li Lin's neck, and a pang of itchiness spread from his skin to his heart.

Li Lin took him off his neck with both hands, put him on his bed, turned around and walked towards the small kitchen of Xianyang Palace.

Tan Chang fell into a heavy sleep, and when he woke up, Li Lin was gone, only a steaming bowl of noodles was placed on the table.

The author has something to say: Maid: Ooooooooooooooh, it's really flattering that His Highness actually made soup for the little fox to wash his hands!

Tan Chang: Oh, no meat.
