They all say I'm a puppet

Although Cang Lin's position in the court has undergone tremendous changes after returning to the capital this time, he also received a lot of attention for various purposes.But it doesn't seem to have the slightest impact on Cang Lin's life. He doesn't seem to realize how much contribution he has made and what kind of shock he has brought to the court, as if he just went out casually during the half a year in the southwest After relaxing, after returning to the capital, all the blood, sweat and hard work disappeared, and the old life was restored without any influence.

If you don’t wake up early in the morning and sleep until the sun is three poles, you can either read and write with Fuyu in the mansion, or take Fuyu to eat and listen to books in the city. He doesn't care how many turmoil has arisen in the court, and he doesn't care how many of these turmoil are because of him.

All of a sudden, there were more speculations and evaluations about the King Jin in the court.Some people think that this King Jin probably only knows how to fight, and he is not interested in or caring about the political affairs of the court. Some people also speculate that this King Jin did this deliberately based on Cang Lin's previous performance, in order to be in the middle of the battle between the crown prince and the King of Chu. After all, the king of Jin in the southwest was in charge of the overall situation as a marching marshal, and he was not an ordinary reckless man who only went into battle to kill the enemy.

But these still didn't affect Cang Lin in the slightest, he still went his own way every day, and any movement in the court would not disturb him.Rumors about him being so masculine and inseparable from a young man even in the army spread among the people in the court again, but they failed to cause any big waves.

After all, King Jin's military exploits are there, even if he is a good man, it is just a private act, which cannot cover up his merits and abilities, but only adds some private information to the rumors about the emperor's family in the folk alleys.As for He Hongyi, before, he only felt that his younger son was worthless, but he didn't interfere. Now, the facts have proved that the younger son still has some skills, but his preferences are different from ordinary people, so there is no reason to interfere.

What's more, he can't tell now whether his youngest son hangs out with a man all day long, because after nearly ten months of careful care and precautions, Concubine Lin finally gave birth to the dragon. Heir.

When the news reached Prince Jin's mansion, Cang Lin was leaning crookedly in front of the desk to watch Fu Yu's painting.A few days ago, Fu Yu probably traveled a lot with Cang Lin and saw too many scenery, so he suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to write down all the beautiful scenery by himself.And not only did he think so, he did so.

Although Fu Yu was able to write a passable handwriting under the teaching of Su He and his self-cultivation in the past few years.However, Mr. Su has never taught painting, and painting may require extremely high innate understanding, but Fu Yu obviously does not have this kind of understanding.

But Fu Yu didn't have this kind of self-awareness. When he was standing in front of the desk with a pen in his hand, he always gave Cang Lin a sense of confidence, but when Cang Lin saw what was presented on the paper, he would suddenly change from just now. After waking up from that hallucination, he comforted himself that only Fu Yu could draw like this.

Fu Yu didn't notice Cang Lin's complex mood at all, he finished the whole painting with great concentration, and stared at it for a long time before putting down the pen in his hand, turning his head to look at Cang Lin beside him: "How is it?"

Cang Lin lowered his head and looked at the thick black in front of him. He felt that the corners of his eyes were trembling, but when he looked at Shang Fuyu's sincere eyes, he remembered that this person had stood with a paintbrush for half an hour before completing the painting. No matter how the painting is painted, such a serious attitude deserves some encouragement.

Cang Lin stared at the painting for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what Fu Yu painted. Various words flashed through his mind, and after hesitating, he said, "This is... our painting. The mountain you climbed in the southwest?"

Fu Yu glanced at Cang Lin in surprise, then looked down at his own painting, and said hesitantly: "Isn't my painting obvious? It shouldn't be, this is lake water, this is a boat, these two points on the boat It's the two of us, this is the scene of going boating in Shijia Village last time, don't you remember?"

Of course Cang Lin remembered that scene, but it was just the painting in front of him... He lowered his head, looked at the painting carefully for a while, and tried his best to follow Fu Yu's description, substituting this really hard-to-understand painting into the scene at that time. .After a long while, he raised his head and smiled at Fu Yu: "Of course I remember, it looks good when you look carefully."

Fu Yu shook his head, looked down at his painting, and seemed very satisfied: "Of course I can't compare with those famous artists, but this painting is commemorative after all." He stretched out his hand and nodded. The wet ink on it, "Find someone to frame it tomorrow, and hang it in your study."

Cang Lin licked his lower lip: "Okay, okay, I'll tell the steward to get it done." As he spoke, he was about to reach for the painting, when someone knocked on the door, Cang Lin seemed relieved Turning to open the door, "what's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness, news came from the palace that half an hour ago, Concubine Lin Gui gave birth to four princes. His Majesty was so happy that he named him Mochi, and gave Concubine Lin Gui countless rewards, even in front of all the servants and midwives. My mother-in-law said..." The messenger hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know whether this topic should continue.

Cang Lin turned his head and looked at Fu Yu, and laughed: "Let's just say, since the words were spoken by the emperor himself, there is no possibility of going back on his word anyway, and we must know sooner or later."

"Your Majesty said that you want to make Concubine Lin Gui a queen..." the messenger whispered.

Cang Lin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show any anger as expected by the messenger. Instead, he laughed: "That's fine, father is in his prime, and this position can't always be empty. Concubine Lin Gui serves father. The emperor has meritorious service, and now she has given birth to a prince, so it should be given to her." Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, "Did the prince and the king of Chu know about this news?"

"The subordinates of the King of Chu don't know, but someone from the prince's place reported the letter a long time ago." The messenger said, "I heard that His Highness the prince was furious on the spot and directly overturned the table in front of him."

Cang Lin raised his eyebrows: "It's rare to see a prince who is so uncontrollable." He waved his hand, "Okay, I understand, you go down."

The messenger raised his head and carefully scanned King Jin's expression, then bowed and stepped back slowly.Cang Lin closed the door with his hand back, turned around and simply sat on the desk, with one leg propped on the ground and the other resting on top of it, dangling carelessly: "I am not surprised that Concubine Lin gave birth to a prince, but I didn't expect to give birth so soon. The position of empress has been obtained. Concubine Lin Gui became the empress, and her son became a legal son, no wonder the crown prince didn't bother to cover up, and directly turned the table."

Fuyu lowered his head to look at his painting, and replied: "I think what he wants to lift most is the head of Concubine Lin Gui. This woman had nothing at the beginning, and she was sent to the palace from the people to beg for her father. Huanxi, in the end, I didn't expect to set such a big problem for myself, the prince probably wants to regret it?"

After Fu Yu finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Cang Lin: "Do you not care if Concubine Lin becomes a queen?"

"What should I care about? Anyway, in He Hongyi's eyes, my mother is just an unworthy burden. After he ascended the throne, he chased He Zheqi's mother as queen, but he didn't say a word about my mother. "Cang Lin sneered, "Anyway, no matter whether my mother is dead or alive, that position has nothing to do with her. It doesn't matter if it is changed, and Lin Guifei can make the prince and the two of them feel more at ease. Blocking is actually a good thing.”

Fu Yu nodded: "Has the person you sent to investigate Lin Guifei come back? What is her background?"

"It's just an ordinary girl." Cang Lin replied, "It's just that there seemed to be a person who was in love with each other before the prince found out, but the prince sent her to the palace and separated the two of them abruptly. Yes. I think the day when I was sent to the palace, my heart will die, whether it is to seek the favor of the emperor, or to fight for profit in the harem, it is more to make the prince feel uncomfortable."

"In the final analysis, he is a poor man," Fu Yu laughed. "However, fortunately, he is a poor man with ability. Although I don't know the future, it seems that I have helped you. Master Su, there are still actions. ?"

"Previously Concubine Lin Gui was in labor, and He Hongyi stayed in her palace all day long. Master Su never had a chance, but he was exactly as you thought, thinking that Concubine Lin Gui could possibly become our ally." Cang Lin pointed with his fingers. Knock on the desk.

Fu Yu responded: "Even if she didn't think about it before, she has to think about it now. With the birth of the fourth prince and her ascending to the throne, the prince and the king of Chu might put aside their past entanglements and join hands to deal with her. After all, they He is the brother born to the same mother. After all, the fourth prince is still young, and she has lived in the deep palace for a long time. It may be very difficult to deal with the two brothers. But if you stand in the same camp as you, it means that you have The support in the military, whether it is self-protection or counterattack, has added a little more confidence."

"If Concubine Lin Gui is really a sensible person, she won't miss this opportunity." Fu Yu said, reaching out to try the ink on it, "Okay, the painting is dry, ask the steward to frame it Bar."

Cang Lin: "..."

Unexpectedly, after tossing for so long, Fu Yu still remembered this matter.I had no choice but to resign myself to reaching out and take the painting.
