The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

"Your bird pecked me?!" A young man in white brocade clothes stood at the door in embarrassment covering his ears, glaring at Lin Yan angrily.

"Your mouth is too stinky, let me teach you a lesson!" Lin Yan glared at him and warned, "Next time if I hear you speak ill of King Beiling, it will not only be pecked by birds. is you!"

"Whose family do you belong to? You actually spoke for the King of Beiling!" The young man in Jin Yi looked at Lin Yan, seeing if he knew him, his eyes were full of disdain, and waved his hands to the two servants next to him, "Catch him and his birds! If you dare to hurt this young master, this young master must teach them a lesson!"

The two servants came towards Lin Yan aggressively.Lin Yan couldn't help but backed away, then straightened her chest and stood still, stuffed the little oriole into Qiu Yun's arms, made her stand a little farther away, and then rolled up her sleeves.If he is beaten, he will be beaten, anyway, he doesn't want to hear others speak ill of his benefactor!

Suddenly there were two soft "Puff" sounds, and the two servants who had already walked in front of Lin Yan seemed to be hit in the calf by something, and they staggered and knelt down on the ground.

Before Lin Yan could react, the door of the private room opposite was pushed open, and Rong Yuan's tall figure appeared at the door.

Rong Yuan's face was full of frost, and he looked at the young man with gloomy eyes.The air pressure around him was very low, and his whole body carried a heavy coercion and a cold and bloodthirsty aura.

The guests in the private rooms around were already attracted by the noise and opened the door to come out.Seeing Rong Yuan, they were frightened and hurried away from him.It seems that as long as you get closer to him, your head will fall to the ground just like the people he brutally slaughtered before.

Everyone looked at Rong Yuan tremblingly, the entire second floor was silent, but Lin Yan's eyes lit up, he reached out to take back the little oriole from Qiu Yun's hand, grabbed Qiu Yun again, and ran towards Rong Yuan in a hurry past.

Running behind Rong Yuan, Lin Yan poked his head out, and proudly said to the pale young man, "I belong to the Wang family of Beiling, come and arrest me if you have the ability."

The boy's voice was like a ray of light, breaking the palpitating tranquility.

"My lord... my lord..." The young man was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Rong Yuan's dark eyes, he turned and went downstairs without saying a word.

With Rong Yuan's support, Lin Yanchao raised his chin provocatively to the young man, and then hurriedly followed Rong Yuan downstairs.

After the two left, everyone in the teahouse breathed a sigh of relief.Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, could this be the young master of the Lin family who married the King of Beiling as his concubine?

It was rumored before that the eldest young master of the Lin family was so ugly that Lin Xiangcai was willing to marry his son to the Beiling Palace, but now that he looked ugly, he was obviously a very handsome young master.He is also very courageous, daring to get so close to King Beiling.

Rong Yuan got into the carriage at the entrance of the teahouse, and just as he sat down, Lin Yan climbed up and sat opposite him.

Rong Yuan frowned at him for a moment, then asked, "Where's your carriage?"

Lin Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he also had a carriage. He scratched his head in embarrassment, "...I forgot."

He hesitated and was about to get out of the car, when a curious voice sounded beside him, "This is the princess?"

Lin Yan turned her head, it was the young man who was in the private room with Rong Yuan just now.

"I'm Gu Zhiming, Shaoqing of Dali Temple." The young man bowed his hands and said.

What does the Shaoqing of Dali Temple do?Lin Yan looked at him and nodded to him.

Gu Zhiming looked at him curiously again, then turned his eyes back and said to Rong Yuan: "Let the younger brother's matter be left to the lord, he has a twisted temper and never listens to the advice of his family, but he admires the lord the most. I hope the lord can persuade him to let go of it." The idea of ​​joining the army, his body is really not suitable for going to the bitter cold place in the northwest."

Rong Yuan raised his eyelids, "Remember our deal."

"Naturally." Gu Zhiming cupped his hands.

The carriage was already moving, he opened the curtain and glanced outside, and said, "Stop in front."

The carriage stopped, Gu Zhiming smiled and bowed to the two of them again, "Don't bother the prince and princess."

After speaking, he got up and got out of the carriage, only Lin Yan and Rong Yuan were left in the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly again, Lin Yan took a peek at Rong Yuan, saw that his lowered eyes were not knowing what he was thinking, recalled those ugly words just now, couldn't help but said: "That man was talking nonsense just now, Don't take it to heart."

Rong Yuan's eyes fell on the young man in front of him, he had heard even worse things, and he didn't care anymore, but this was the first time someone defended him.

"Chichi!" The little oriole suddenly bumped its head into Lin Yan's palm, and Lin Yan looked down, only to find that the little oriole had lost a tuft of hair on its leg, which should have been removed by the people next door.With a tight heart, he hurriedly took out the handkerchief from his bosom, and gently tied the little squirrel's legs.

As soon as he finished, he looked up, and saw Rong Yuan staring intently at the handkerchief he tied on the little yellow bird's leg.

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she muttered to herself that she wouldn't ask for a handkerchief again, when she saw that Rong Yuan really stretched out his hand to him.

...It's just a handkerchief, why do I keep thinking about going back.A prince without a handkerchief?

Lin Yan was speechless in her heart, and said, "It's already dirty and can't be used."

Afraid that he would not believe it, he hurriedly added: "Really, you have seen how dirty it was before. This is rewashed, and it is not clean anymore. It can't be used by humans, it can only be used by birds."

Rong Yuan looked at him for a moment, closed his eyes, and still stretched out his palm towards him.

Lin Yan felt resentful, so she had no choice but to untie the handkerchief on the little squirrel's lap and put it in the palm of his hand.At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, Lin Yan fell forward, and the whole person went straight to Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan could dodge by turning slightly to the side, and the boy in front of him would hit the hard wall of the carriage, but remembering what the boy said just now, he sat without moving, and the boy threw himself into his arms.

When the carriage stopped, he stiffened his body, put his palm on the boy's waist, and pushed him back to the seat.

Lifting the curtains of the car and looking out, the coachman hurriedly reported: "My lord, the horse of the second young master of the Yan family suddenly rushed out and blocked the road."

"King of Beiling, you release my eldest brother!" Yan Kai rode on the horse and roared aggressively at Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan looked down at him coldly.

"Kai'er, don't be presumptuous to the lord!" A carriage hurriedly came from the opposite side, before it stopped, Yan Wensong, the servant of the household department, jumped down, angrily reprimanded Yan Kai, and then wiped his sweat and handed over to Rong Yuan to make amends.

"My lord, my son is naughty and I don't know the seriousness. I apologize to the lord on his behalf. The old man came this time for the sake of Ji'er. He has already learned his lesson, and I ask the lord to give you a noble hand. After returning, the old man will definitely discipline him so that he will never stop. Dare to commit."

Hearing the voice, Lin Yan was curious, reached out and grabbed Rong Yuan's sleeve, poked his head out from behind Rong Yuan, and looked out the window as well.Immediately there was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old who looked about his age, full of anger, like a hedgehog that had been provoked.On the ground next to him was a bearded man who looked older than his not-so-smart father.

Seeing him suddenly appearing calmly from behind Rong Yuan, Yan Wensong was stunned. He had been an official in the officialdom for decades, his mind quickly turned around, and he handed over to Lin Yan: "See Wangfei. The child disturbed the driving of the prince and princess. , I really deserve to die, the old man must teach him a good lesson when he goes back."

"Oh, it's impossible to die, don't go back, just teach him a lesson now." Lin Yan touched his forehead and spoke slowly.Rong Yuan's shoulders were very stiff, just now when the carriage stopped suddenly, his forehead hit Rong Yuan's shoulder, and it hurt.

Yan Wensong was stunned, Yan Kai got into trouble a lot since he was a child, but it was nothing serious, everyone was an official in the same court, and he had a daughter who was a concubine in the palace, everyone sold his face, and always went home to teach him a lesson, This was the first time someone asked him to teach him a lesson on the spot.

Yan Kai was also stunned, looking at him with round eyes in shock, more like a hedgehog.

"Wang... lord..." Yan Wensong didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly looked at Rong Yuan for help.

Rong Yuan looked indifferent, "Master Yan, do you want to keep blocking the gate of the palace and not let me go back to the palace?"

Yan Wensong regained his senses, and quickly asked the coachman to move his carriage away, and asked Yan Kai to get off the horse, and led the horse to avoid the side of the road.

It's a good lesson.Lin Yan curled her lips in regret, and suddenly a big palm came down, pressed his head, and pushed him back into the carriage.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Rong Yuan got out of the carriage first, and Lin Yan jumped out of the carriage after following him.Uncle Zhang was at the entrance to supervise his servants to clean the gate. When he saw the two of them coming back together, he greeted them in surprise: "Why did the princess come back with the prince?"

"Master Yan and Second Young Master Yan please go to the Flower Hall." Rong Yuan stood still and ordered Uncle Zhang.

"I'm going back first." Lin Yan left a word and hurried into the gate with the little oriole in her arms.

Back in the yard, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and smiled happily.When the carriage stopped suddenly just now, he took the handkerchief back while Rong Yuan was not paying attention.He will not return what has been given to him.

Lin Yan broke off a small leaf of her own, squeezed out the vine juice and applied it to the little squirrel's legs.After resting all night, the hair on the little squirrel's legs grew.Early the next morning, just after dawn, Lin Yan carried a small cloth bag for the little squirrel, put a small bell in the bag, and said: "Be careful on the way back."

"Don't worry, I'm flying fast and I'll be back in a few days." The little squirrel lowered its head and pecked at Lin Yan's finger, then flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

After the little squirrel left, Lin Yan went back to the bed and slept for a while. After getting up, he opened the clothes box, took out the purse from the inside and put it in his arms.There is nothing else to be busy, it is time for him to find the whereabouts of the fruit.

While having breakfast, she told Madam Zhao that she was going out, Mama Zhao smiled and said, "I just went to see my wife."

Yesterday, Shen took Biyue and a few maids who had been living with her in Longyuan Villa to the village outside the capital.Zhuangzi was halfway up the mountain, and when Lin Yan arrived, Mrs. Shen was still sleeping peacefully.Bi Yue ordered tea to be served in the outside room, and said to Lin Yan with a smile: "Just now, Imperial Physician Xue came to prescribe a few medicines, and the prince also sent people to deliver ginseng last night. Madam took the medicine and just fell asleep."

"My lord sent me 200-year-old wild ginseng, and Imperial Physician Xue is the head of the imperial hospital. He usually only treats the ladies in the palace and a few princes and princesses." Biyue said to Lin Yan, "My lord has bothered you this time. , the young master must thank the lord when he goes back."

Lin Yan didn't expect that Rong Yuan would send ginseng over, so he nodded seriously.

Shen Shi has been sleeping peacefully, Lin Yan didn't let Biyue wake her up, and left after sitting for a while.

Going back to the palace in a carriage, at the gate of the palace, Lin Yan first let Zhao Momo and Qiuyun get out of the carriage, and then quickly said to them: "Mommy, sister Qiuyun, I suddenly remembered that there is something else to do, you go in first. "

After speaking, he ordered the coachman to start quickly.

Mother Zhao and Qiu Yun wanted to call him, but the carriage had already started.

Yuexiu Zhai is located in a spacious alley on West Street. There are piano shops, brocade and silk shops, tea shops, etc. in the alley, and it is very lively with people coming and going.Yuexiu Zhai occupies quite a large area in the middle of the alley.

As soon as Lin Yan entered the store, a waiter greeted him.

"My lord, what do you want to buy? We have all kinds of embroidery in our shop." Seeing him face to face, the clerk warmly introduced.

"I don't buy anything, I want to ask, is this purse sold here?" Lin Yan took out the purse from his arms and handed it to the waiter.

Most of the customers in the store are the sons and daughters of officials and rich families, and all the shop assistants have a pair of piercing eyes.Seeing that Lin Yan was not dressed like an ordinary person, the clerk didn't dare to neglect, took a look at the workmanship and the mark left by the embroiderer on it, and said: "It was sold by our Yuexiu Zhai. The young master is not satisfied with this purse ?"

"No." Lin Yan shook his head, "Can you tell me who sold this purse to? I picked up this purse, which contains important things, and I want to return it to the owner."

"Who did you sell it to?" The waiter wondered, "There are people coming and going in our store every day, and we really can't remember every customer."

Lin Yan was disappointed when he heard that, he only had this one clue.He pursed his lips and asked unwillingly: "Is there really no way to find the owner of this purse?"

Seeing him staring at him, the man scratched his head, and suddenly remembered: "Why don't you ask the embroiderer with the purse. Some customers like the embroiderer's craftsmanship in the store, and they will ask her to order it for you. Customized, the embroiderer should have an impression."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "Who is the embroiderer with the purse?"

The clerk looked down at the mark on the purse, "It's Yueniang. Ouch, what a coincidence, something happened to Yueniang's family two days ago. I just took half a month's leave and I haven't been in the store recently."

Lin Yan couldn't wait for half a month, and asked quickly: "Do you know where her home is? I'll go find her."

The guy said: "I'll go to the backyard and ask the embroiderer who knows her well."

After a while, the clerk came back and said, "It's in Tonghua Lane, just the penultimate one on the left."

Lin Yan thanked the buddy, and went to Tonghua Lane when he went out.

Arriving at Tonghua Lane, Lin Yan got off the carriage at the door of the penultimate house on the left hand side that the buddy said.This is a quiet alley, the bluestone road is full of potholes, there are children playing in mud in twos and threes nearby, seeing Lin Yan getting off the carriage, they all looked at him curiously.

Lin Yan knocked on the wooden door in front of him, but no one came to open the door for a while.not at home?Just as Lin Yan was wondering, a kid playing with mud said to him, "Second brother Tu has gone to buy medicine and will be back in a while."

Brother Tu?Moon Mother's child?Just as Lin Yan was thinking, he suddenly felt a faint evil spirit in the air. He turned his head suddenly, and a young man in blue clothes came from the corner of the alley with a medicine bag.

The blue-clothed boy also stood still and looked at him. The two looked at each other for a moment. Just as Lin Yan opened his mouth, the blue-clothed boy suddenly showed panic, turned around and ran away.

Lin Yan: ...

"Why did Brother Tu run away?" The children playing in the mud were puzzled.

It was the first time Lin Yan encountered a monster outside, but she didn't expect to be scared away instead of being frightened.It seems that this is not a powerful monster.

Lin Yan analyzed it and was determined.He asked the coachman to wait outside the alley, and he went to see some children playing in the mud, asking them questions while watching.
