royal husband

Not long after Li Jin finished talking with Gu Rushuang, Zhiqiu came in to wait on him, and soon realized that there was something wrong with Gu Rushuang's expression, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you? Ever since you finished talking with Li Shizi, you have been worried. , Could it be... something unexpected happened?"

Gu Rushuang shook her head, "No, I'm just thinking about other things."

"His Royal Highness is thinking about the Second Prince?"

"Ah."

Zhiqiu is Gu Rushuang's confidant, now that Zhiqiu has already guessed the real reason for her annoyance, Gu Rushuang has no intention of continuing to hide it, and simply nodded in agreement.

Ying Zihui's power has fallen, and as the second prince, Ying Zihui has undoubtedly benefited the most. Taking advantage of this opportunity to skyrocket is a sure thing.

Next.

Gu Rushuang was sure that Shen Qianxue would concentrate on dealing with herself.

Shen Qianxue chose to enter the palace, so naturally she would not be satisfied with being a concubine, especially when her son was selected as the crown prince.To put it bluntly, before, Shen Qianxue only spoke provocative words and made some innocuous little gestures, but she didn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

Zhiqiu suggested, "Your Highness, why don't you discuss it with Li Shizi, maybe Li Shizi has a way."

After Li Jin persuaded Gu Rushuang to agree to Shi Weixu's study of smallpox in the palace, Zhiqiu did not dare to underestimate it, and even admired Li Jin very much, so he made this proposal.

As an old man next to Gu Rushuang, Zhiqiu knew better than anyone how difficult it was to persuade Gu Rushuang to agree to something that might cause panic in the palace, but Li Jin did it.

Gu Rushuang shook his head and vetoed, "Zhiqiu, except for Ying Zihui who has lost power and has become an adult, the other princes are much younger than Ying Ziheng. It is the general trend for Ying Ziheng to become the prince, and no one can stop it. Saying this is just to add to his worries, it's better not to say it at the beginning."

"His Royal Highness..."

"Okay, that's the end of this matter, and you are not allowed to tell Jin'er."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Zhiqiu heard that Gu Rushuang had made up her mind, so Zhiqiu nodded helplessly.

Next, Gu Rushuang told Ying Zhengjing about finding a cure for smallpox, but what was puzzling was that Ying Zhengjing ordered someone to suppress the matter, and even silenced the little eunuch Gu Rushuang was talking about. Except for Li Jin and others who knew about it long ago, no one else knew about it.

the other side.

Ying Yuan was sending Li Jin away from the palace, seeing the two of them getting closer to the palace gate, Ying Yuan couldn't help but said, "Li Jin, it's so late, how about... why don't you stay in the palace tonight?"

Li Jin shook her head with a smile and refused.

"Seventh prince, I'm a foreigner."

"I know, but I think you can stay in the palace... just for one night."

"Isn't there His Royal Highness, talk to Zhiqiu and the others? Seventh Prince, you can try to chat with them."

"Li Jin, they are not you." Ying Yuan shook his head violently, "Even though they are very kind to me, Queen Mother, you are the only one who treats me sincerely and becomes friends with me sincerely, not for other reasons, that's why I miss you Stay, and I don't like people in the palace who are always wearing masks."

During the period when Gu Rushuang was an adopted son in the palace, the attitude of the palace people who had never taken Yingyuan seriously before had a 180-degree change. They were all flattering, even the concubines in the harem. And Yingzi, who has always been at odds with Yingyuan, did not dare to blatantly underestimate or attack Yingyuan, which really made Yingyuan feel more comfortable than before.

But that doesn't mean Ying Yuan will be happy.

The opposite of.

Ying Yuan hated their hypocrisy.

"Seventh prince, you are a prince." Li Jin patted Ying Yuan's shoulder lightly, "Even if you don't like it, you have to learn to get used to it, let alone show disgusting expressions towards them, you know?"

Li Jin knew that what he said was difficult for a young prince, but since he chose Ying Yuan, he had to do it.

"I try my best……"

If someone said this to Ying Yuan, Ying Yuan would not only not listen, but would think that person had ulterior motives, but it would be different if it was Li Jin, Ying Yuan was willing to do what Li Jin said.

"It's not as much as possible, but it must be done." Li Jin was amused by Ying Yuan's tangled expression, and couldn't help but rubbed his hair.

"Then if I do it now, can you stay with me in the palace tonight?"

"No."

"..."

Ying Yuan's expression instantly sank, like a cub who was ordered by his master to stay at home and not go out with him.

"However, I can give you a reward."

As soon as Li Jin said this, Ying Yuan's eyes immediately turned into anticipation, "What reward?"

"You close your eyes first."

"it is good."

Yingyuan closed his eyes without saying a word.

"Seventh Prince, open your mouth."

Li Jin said another sentence out of the blue. Although Ying Yuan thought Li Jin's words were a bit strange, he still followed suit.

After a while, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted between the two of them, and at the same time something soft was pressed against Ying Yuan's lips, which made Ying Yuan stunned.

This is……

"You can open your eyes now, Seventh Prince, is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake delicious?"

After Li Jin finished speaking, Ying Yuan immediately opened his eyes, looked at Li Jin blankly for a while, and then said, "It's delicious, thank you Li Jin."

Is this the first gift Li Jin gave me?

These words surfaced unconsciously in Ying Yuan's heart, and at the same time, an indescribable feeling appeared quietly, but this feeling disappeared without a trace before Ying Yuan could catch it.

"That's good."

Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, seeing Ying Yuan's pitiful appearance just now, Li Jin felt bored, and subconsciously gave Ying Yuan the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Ping An had given him.

Looking at it now, the effect is quite good, at least Ying Yuan's expression is not as depressed as before.

"I really have to go, next time I enter the palace, how about I bring you another piece?"

"Okay, it's a deal." After finishing speaking, Ying Yuan stretched out his hand towards Li Jin.

Li Jin immediately raised his eyebrows in doubt, "This is?"

"Lagou, Li Jin, reach out your hand like I did."

"Ah."

Li Jin stretched out his hand in confusion.

In an instant.

Ying Yuan immediately hooked Li Jin's finger with his own, and said solemnly, "Li Jin, we are pulling the hook now, you must not break your promise."

The trick of pulling the hook was learned by Yingyuan when he saw the children of the ministers doing it at the palace banquet before. No, he used it immediately.

However, there was one thing that Ying Yuan didn't notice.

The two people who pulled the hook he saw were a man and a woman, and the one who suggested pulling the hook was the young girl who had just grown up.

As for the content of their hooks, Ying Yuan didn't care at all.

"it is good."

It was rare to see Ying Yuan with such a childish side, Li Jin responded with a smile.

Li Jin himself didn't notice that the smile he inadvertently showed was more imperceptibly warm than the previous one.

Xuanqing Palace.

Seeing the same memorial, Ying Zhengjing sneered and said, "It's really a good subject of mine. Not long after I dealt with the boss, these people just wanted me to make the second son the crown prince. It's really good. .”
