No matter how dissatisfied Ning Lan was with the emperor's sudden decree, she could only follow through.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, for making this trip." As he spoke, he secretly handed over a purse.

Eunuch Li took it skillfully, squeezed it, and was satisfied. The purse is very light, but the things inside are quite thick, obviously the amount is not small.

He smiled and moved closer, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has recently appointed a new national teacher, and this banquet was also proposed by the national teacher, and not only Master Jili was invited. But only Master Jili is the special teacher of the country. I like it, and I want to invite you by name, so His Majesty asked me to come and walk this way."

Ning Lan suppressed the hidden worries in her heart, smiled and cupped her hands, and said loudly: "Thank you, father-in-law, next time you have time to go out to visit relatives in the palace, you can come to my place for a cup of tea!"

Eunuch Li replied with a smile: "It's easy to say, Marshal Ning, then our family will bid farewell."

"Okay, I'll take it to you."

After seeing off Eunuch Li, Ning Lan's face darkened, what national teacher?When did His Majesty become a national teacher again?Why is the national teacher so interested in Lin Xiaoheng?

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurried to Lin Heng's mansion with a sullen face.

……

Lin Heng was sleeping.

He was lying on the reclining chair in the yard with his eyes closed. The warm autumn sun was gentle and warm, illuminating people in a lazy state, which was most suitable for taking a nap in the afternoon.

Ning Xiao rushed in excitedly, before reaching the yard, Lin Heng opened his eyes, he turned his head to look, and Ning Xiao just ran into the yard.

Seeing that he was sleeping, she slowed down, walked to the couch and looked at him: "Heng, did I wake you up?"

Lin Heng smiled, the eight-year-old boy had a handsome face, his eyes were not as round as when he was a child, but those black pupils seemed a little deeper.

He sat up: "It's nothing, I just think the sun is not bad today, I want to squint for a while, I'm not really sleeping."

Ning Xiao sat on the recliner and put his arms around his waist: "But I want to sleep."

"I want you to hug and sleep." He added.

Lin Heng touched the back of his head, hugged him and lay down: "Hey, go to sleep."

……

When Ning Lan came in, he saw one big and one small sleeping peacefully together, he paused and coughed.

Lin Heng opened his eyes helplessly. He had heard Ning Lan's footsteps a long time ago, but he didn't want to disturb Ning Xiao's sleep, so he pretended that he was still asleep. He didn't expect Ning Lan to be so persistent.

Ning Xiao reluctantly woke up, habitually rubbed his arms against Lin Heng, and then slowly woke up, turning his head to look at his father.

"Father, what's the matter?"

He is now much more sensible than when he was a child, knowing that his father would not forcefully wake them up if nothing happened, so he asked.

Ning Lan curled her lips: "It has nothing to do with your child, go out and play."

This kid has shown a very high learning ability since Kaimeng, but in order to have a lot of time to stick to Lin Xiaoheng's side, he refuses to add lessons, and runs away after learning, which is really annoying.

Lin Heng didn't care about it, Xiao'er will recover her memory sooner or later, why waste time now to learn these things that she has learned several times?That's about it.

Of course, he was sensible and didn't tell Ning Lan and his wife about it.

Ning Xiao looked at his father and found that he was a little anxious. He guessed in his heart that it might be something bad, so he nodded simply: "Then I'll go out first."

Let's ask Heng after Dad leaves later, Heng will definitely tell him.

Ning Lan watched him obediently go out, feeling a little annoyed, the older his son was, the more he missed the little boy who lost his temper when he was young.

But now is not the time to be sad, he straightened his face and told Lin Heng what happened just now.

"I have never heard of that national teacher before, but it suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and it seems to have a great influence on His Majesty. I am really worried, and I favor alchemists..."

He didn't say the latter words, but those who should understand understood what he meant.

Lin Heng was not surprised by this, he looked at Ning Lan meaningfully.Xiao'er was born to be the emperor, but he was born in Ning's family, which is self-evident, but I don't know if it will be Ning Lan or Ning Xiao...

"The emperor has made up his mind. It's useless for you to worry. Since you have accepted the imperial edict, we have to go to the palace."

Ning Lan nodded: "I don't know what the national teacher is thinking when he pays so much attention to you? It's really annoying. Once something involves the monarch and ministers, it will be very troublesome."

Lin Heng was noncommittal: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it."

They were talking, and Ruan Ci also ran in: "Brother Lin, hey? Brother Ning, are you there?"

Ning Lan nodded: "If you need something, talk to Lin Xiaoheng."

Ruan Ci blinked: "Is it because His Majesty is hosting a banquet? Someone came to invite me just now. I thought I would definitely not miss Brother Lin, so I came to have a look."

Lin Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that the national teacher knows me very well."

Knowing that he would not care about any imperial decree or not, he directly asked the emperor to order Ning Lan. As a subject, how could Ning Lan dare to resist the decree?Ning Lan accepted the order, Lin Heng didn't want him to be accused of disobedience and disrespect, so he could only choose to submit obediently.

Ning Lan frowned even more: "This is not a good thing."

Ruan Ci also looked worried: "That's right, brother Lin, he must have some schemes to get so interested. Maybe his real target is you, and we people just go and make a show."

Lin Heng actually agrees with him, but——

"We have to go, let's go and have a look first."

Ning Lan sighed and fell into deep worry.He is not only for Lin Heng, but also for the common people in this world.The emperor was not a wise emperor in the first place, and he managed to keep it up in the early years, but now he started to favor an alchemist, it is really hard to describe...

But even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to berate the emperor, so he could only vent his grievance on the alchemist who had confused the emperor.

Although, it's still useless...

……

The emperor's banquet was scheduled for three days later, and on the second day after he sent out the invitation, he announced that a monk named Su Chen would be conferred as a national teacher.

Full of uproar.

There were constant voices of dissuasion, but the emperor ignored them all.

Ning Lan remained silent about this, no matter how much the ministers he had good friends with on weekdays tried to persuade him, he would not open his mouth.

His status was inherently embarrassing, and the emperor had a lot of trust in him, but so was his fear.He has never participated in the affairs of the court, unless someone dared to deduct the military salary.

Now the emperor obviously favors Su Chen very much, if he goes up to dissuade him, it is likely to attract all the dissatisfaction of the emperor, why bother.

No matter how the ministers made noise, the emperor did not let go. He even personally presided over the canonization ceremony of the national teacher on the second day, and set aside a separate piece of land in the palace to build the national teacher's mansion.

There was such an uproar, but the national teacher named Su Chen was very calm and never appeared in front of people.

It wasn't until Ning Lan sat with him at the palace banquet that he saw his true face.

Red clothes and black hair, phoenix eyes and sculpted eyebrows, there seems to be a faint red flash in the eyes.There is a tear mole in the corner of the eye, very coquettish.

He was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a person, completely different from the fairy-tale deceitful appearance he imagined.

The emperor sat at the top, and he sat at the lower left of the emperor, which shows his position in the emperor's heart.

Lin Heng felt that someone was watching him all the time, he raised his eyes, and Su Chen smiled at him.

The emperor saw it, and said with a smile: "This is Master Ji Li, right? Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved, master, please take a seat, hahaha."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes and chin: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

His position is the first one on the left, it should be specially arranged by Su Chen.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Su Chen looked at him, and said softly, "Fellow Ji Li, I have admired you for a long time, and it is a great fortune to meet you today."

Lin Heng said lightly: "The national teacher is polite."

Su Chen looked at his face with some fascination, and chuckled a few times: "You know what? I used to think that I was lonely, and no one in this world deserved to be with me until you appeared..."

Lin Heng frowned: "What does the national teacher mean?"

Su Chen said: "People in this world are too small and too ugly. Only you are as strong and beautiful as me. We are like two completely different sides, but equally perfect."

Lin Heng: "..." The brain is sick, and it's still very sick.

"...The national teacher is polite." He still responded coldly, already a little impatient.

Su Chen looked at him as if no one was around, and his smile became more and more satisfied: "You really suit my heart, don't rush to reject me, time will prove my sincerity."

Lin Heng didn't answer directly, he could see that this person wouldn't listen.
