The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

It was too noisy outside the house, Lin Yan got up soon after falling asleep.Human clothes are too troublesome to wear, but fortunately Qiuyun is by his side.In the past, the original owner had to rely on Qiu Yun to take care of her clothes, but it did not arouse suspicion.

After washing up and going out, the servants in the yard were holding things in their hands and hurriedly walked.A strange nanny stood aside, seeing Lin Yan coming out, she leaned forward to greet her and said, "Young master woke up so early."

Before Lin Yan could speak, Qiu Yun next to him said angrily, "I knew you would make such a big fuss? Sincerely trouble our wife and young master!"

The nanny straightened up and said seriously: "Miss, don't say that. How dare we servants make trouble with the madam and the young master. This is the master's order. If you come, don't delay, send the madam and the young master back to the capital immediately. Steward Fang and us servants Man, I didn't dare to rest along the way, so I hurried to get here, I didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so I had to help pack the luggage, and send the wife and the young master to leave early tomorrow morning."

After moving the master out, Qiuyun held his breath and dared not say anything.The door to the room diagonally opposite opened, and Mother Zhao led Butler Fang out. Seeing Lin Yan, she came over to greet him and said, "Master is awake, let's have breakfast together in Madam's room."

"En." Lin Yan nodded, and her eyes fell on the strange middle-aged man next to her. The middle-aged man slowly cupped his hands at him, "Master."

"Qiu Yun, after the young master has finished his breakfast, ask a few maids to go to the house to pack the luggage, and we will return to the capital early tomorrow morning." Zhao Mama's face was a little unhappy, and she ordered Qiu Yun.

"Yes." Qiu Yun replied, and accompanied Lin Yan to Shen's house.

When Lin Yan entered, Mrs. Shen was taking the handkerchief wrung out by the servant girl and wiping her hands. When she saw Lin Yan, a smile appeared on her pale face, "Yan'er is here."

"...Mom." Human beings seem to greet each other.Lin Yan yelled a little uncomfortably.

Hearing Lin Yan calling her mother, Shen took a deep breath.She was just worried that Lin Banyan would get angry with her again because Butler Fang came to pick them up and return to the capital.

Shen ordered the servant girl to bring breakfast, took Lin Yan's hand and sat down at the table, and said: "After breakfast, go around and see if there is anything you need to bring, don't leave behind."

"Oh." Lin Yan agreed absent-mindedly, her eyes fell on the door, eagerly looking forward to the breakfast in a while.There are too many varieties of human food, and I don't know what to eat for breakfast.

Breakfast is two bowls of small wontons in clear soup, and a cage of hot steamed buns with thin skin and rich soup.Lin Yan cautiously restrained herself, followed Shen's appearance, ate a few mouthfuls of small wontons, picked up two small buns, and reluctantly put down her chopsticks.Yesterday he ate so much that the servant girl was shocked. If the original owner's mother finds out that something is wrong again today, it will be over.He still wants to find fruit, but he doesn't want to be caught as a monster.

Sure enough, Shen put down her chopsticks, looked up and saw that he had also put down his chopsticks, she only frowned, and didn't react too much.

He was just too witty.Lin Yan thought happily.

"Mother, I'm going out." Lin Yan got up and said, worried that if she stayed with the original owner's mother for too long, she would be noticed.

"Go." Shen nodded, and when Lin Yan went out, Bi Yue, the maid beside her, stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, the young master still seems not very happy, he even used less for breakfast."

Shen shi sighed, and suddenly coughed violently, Biyue quickly bent down and stroked her shoulders.Butler Fang scolded his servants from outside the window, and Biyue said angrily, "Master sent Butler Fang over here in person, and brought over a dozen guards. He said it was to protect us along the way, but he said it badly, because he was afraid The young master ran away halfway."

Shen Shi stopped coughing, her pale cheeks flushed abnormally, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a sarcasm, "If Yan'er escapes, it will be his precious daughter Lin Yao who will marry into the Beiling Palace!"

Lin Yao is only one year younger than Lin Yan. She is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She participated in various banquets since she was a child, and won the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital at fifteen o'clock.Lin Jinhua put a lot of effort into training her, so how could he be willing to marry her to the King of Beiling.One must know that the King of Beiling not only ruined his face and got a bad reputation, but was also a thorn in the emperor's side.

The King of Beiling and the Emperor are half-brothers with outstanding military exploits.On the surface, the emperor relied on King Beiling, but in private he was very afraid of him, and even wanted to get rid of him.But King Beiling joined the army at the age of 14, fought bravely, fought bloody battles for more than ten years, and had countless loyal soldiers under him. The emperor wanted to get rid of him, how could it be so easy?What's more, there are several tribes in the north who have been eyeing them all the time, and the only one who is afraid is the King of Beiling.As long as the north is not stable for a day, the emperor will not dare to touch the king of Beiling.

When her father was alive, the King of Beiling had been under her father's command for a while.Her father had mentioned King Beiling to her in private, and he admired King Beiling very much.

Later, her father died, and King Beiling was disfigured for some reason. It was once rumored that King Beiling's temperament changed drastically, becoming cruel and cruel.However, two years ago during the Lantern Festival, on the way back to Zhuangzi from the capital, there was a heavy snowfall, so they could only temporarily rest in a secluded post station in Chenzhou.At that time, because of the blizzard, there were still two groups of people staying at the inn temporarily, the King of Beiling and the son of Marquis Qi Yuan.

She remembered that Qi Yuan Hou Shizi brought a rather expensive cat.The cat scratched the prince for some reason, and the prince, who was always gentle and courteous and loved by countless girls, was furious, beat him severely with a whip, and threw the dying cat in the icy and snowy yard, no longer caring about his life or death .

That night, she coughed badly and couldn't sleep. She got up and opened the window to get some air. She saw a man bent down to pick up the cat on the ground in the snow-covered yard and stroked it gently.

The man's face was reflected in the white snow in the courtyard, with a black mask on the left side of his face, revealing half of his cold and hard side face as if carved by a knife.It was the King of Beiling.

That night, the King of Beiling took the cat away, and the next day he found that the cat was missing in the yard, and Qi Yuanhou Shizi lost his temper.

After that night, she felt that the rumors were not credible.

After learning that Yan'er was married to the Queen of Beiling, she once told Yan'er about the post station, but Yan'er was fascinated by the gentle and elegant face of Prince Qi Yuanhou, so she just didn't agree to marry the King of Beiling. marriage.

It doesn't matter if you don't agree.Don't say that the emperor has bestowed a marriage, just say that King Beiling is a man, she believes in her father's eyes and what she saw with her own eyes.Yan'er went to the Beiling King's Mansion, even if he couldn't be liked by the Beiling King, it shouldn't be too difficult, and it wouldn't be more difficult than when he was in the Lin family in the future.

I have lived for a short time, and I can go with peace of mind.

Lin Yan was not full, so she returned to her room with a plate of snacks, slipped out while Qiu Yun was packing her luggage, ran to a rockery in the garden, took off her shoes and socks, her bare feet stuck to the wet soil, and her slender roots The mustache pokes out quietly and takes root in the soil.

Lin Yan sat on the ground with the snacks in her arms, and while lazily taking root in the sun, she fed the snacks into her mouth.The little squirrel flew over after him.

"How can I bring you with me on the way to the capital?" Lin Yan crushed the snacks and sprinkled them on the ground, reached out and touched the little squirrel's head, propping her chin in distress.

The little squirrel lowered its head to finish pecking at the crumbs on the ground, and rubbed its head against his palm, "Find a birdcage, humans keep birds in cages."

When it sees those hunters going up the mountain, it will put the birds it catches in cages.

As soon as the words fell, there were eager footsteps in the distance. Qiu Yun leaned out from behind the rockery and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yan, "Master, why did you come here? Why did you take off your shoes and socks?" gone."

"Sister Qiuyun, I caught a little oriole in the garden." Lin Yan held the little oriole in both hands and smiled at her, "You help me get a... um birdcage."

Seeing that he wanted to raise birds, Qiuyun led him back to the house, and sent people to the street to buy a birdcage and returned.Lin Yan put the little squirrel into the cage, poured water on the food plate, and put it beside her bed.

Before dawn on the second day, Lin Yan was dug out from the bed by Qiu Yun to put on clothes.It was too late for breakfast, so he was stuffed into the carriage in a daze.

The carriage moved slowly, Lin Yan hugged the birdcage, leaned against the window, rubbed his eyes and looked outside.In the distance, the morning mist is soft, the patchwork houses are looming, the village is still sleeping, and it is peaceful and peaceful.

"Young master, be careful of catching a cold, and sleep for a while." It was still a little cold in the morning, Qiu Yun put down the curtains of the car, took the quilt from a corner of the carriage and spread it out.

Although Shen has been away from the mansion for so many years, at least she still has the title of wife, so the Lin family dare not be too negligent.In addition, Lin Yan was given a marriage, so he still had to do his best to save face.The several carriages that Steward Zhou brought over this time are very spacious and exquisite, more than enough to sleep three people.Lin Yan and Qiu Yun sat in one car, and Shen Shi sat in the first car behind.

Lin Yan wrapped herself in the quilt and only slept for a while before being woken up by the noise outside.He couldn't wait to get up, opened the curtains to look out, the carriage was driving to a market, on both sides were large and small shops and crowds of stalls, and there were many things in a mess on the stalls, which made him dazzled.

This is the human market, it's really lively.Lin Yan leaned on the car window and sighed. He rarely saw people on the mountain, and he couldn't go down the mountain. He could only listen to the little squirrel talking about things down the mountain.I only know that the human market is very lively and crowded with people, but I don't know there are so many people.

Along the way, Lin Yan stared out the window all the way.Qiu Yun was originally worried that he would be unhappy, but he never expected that he would be in high spirits along the way, and he didn't look like he was unwilling to marry the King of Beiling.

Qiuyun was puzzled and wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, because he was afraid that asking would provoke his young master's unhappy mood, so he could only hold back.

After four days like this, at noon on the fifth day, the carriage arrived in the capital.

The carriage drove slowly into the city. Lin Yan lay at the window and looked at the majestic city wall. Suddenly his nose moved slightly, and he looked up at the city suddenly. He sensed the breath of fruit.

But it's a little strange.Lin Yan frowned suspiciously, Guozi's breath was faintly visible, but he couldn't sense the specific direction, as if something blocked his connection with Guozi.

What's going on, is the fruit hidden?

Just being puzzled, Qiuyun dragged him down from the window, lowered the car curtains, and forbade him to look outside.

Lin Yan came back to his senses, squeezed his fingers hard, it doesn't matter, since the fruit is in the capital, he will definitely find it, and then he will beat the thief severely.Dare to steal his things, I really don't want to live.

The news of their arrival had already been sent back to the Lin residence, and the Lin family had sent someone to wait at the gate of the city.The carriage walked for another half an hour before stopping.

"Master, we're here." Qiu Yun lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look, and helped Lin Yan get off the carriage.

Lin Yan didn't ask her to help, and jumped out of the carriage with the birdcage in his arms, and looked at the mansion in front of him.There are two stone lions at the entrance, the vermilion lacquer gate, and the wall is so high and wide that you can't see the sides, it is many times more magnificent than the place where he lived before.

A group of people stood on the steps below the stone lion, and the women surrounded by them wore many shiny jewels, which made his eyes hurt.

Mrs. Zhou had led the servants to wait for a while, and saw Mrs. Shen get off the carriage from the back with the support of Mrs. Zhao, and warmly greeted her, "Sister, it's been a hard journey, go to the mansion with Yan'er to have a good rest, I have had the yard cleaned up."

Shen raised her eyes and glanced at the people who greeted them at the door, except for Zhou and a group of servants, there was no one else.

Mrs. Zhou followed her gaze and explained with a smile: "Yao'er was called by the old lady, and Xuan'er was reciting homework in the master's study. I can't come out to meet my sister, please take care of me."

Shen looked away coldly, covered her mouth and coughed twice, "Go in."

Lin Yan walked in behind Shen, the inside was bigger and more grand than the outside.At first, he still remembered the way, but after going around, he was dizzy, so he simply forgot, and just followed Shen.

After a long corridor, I finally arrived at a courtyard.After going in and zigzagging for a while, I stopped in front of a room that exudes sandalwood.

"The old lady has been waiting for you." Zhou said with a smile, and the maid at the door raised the curtain, and she went in first.

Lin Yan followed Shen Shi in, and heard a girl's crisp voice, "Mother, look quickly, this is the jewelry my grandmother gave me."

"You girl, you coaxed grandma to give you jewelry again. Put it away quickly, your aunt and brother are back." Zhou said with a smile on her daughter.

Lin Yao handed the jewelry to the maid behind her, only glanced at Lin Yan and Shen Shi, and saluted Shen Shi and Lin Yan perfunctorily, without even bending her waist, "Ma'am, brother."

The old lady sat at the top, looked at the mother and daughter with a smile, then glanced at Shen Shi and Lin Yan, her smile faded, and she said not very enthusiastically, "I'm back."

Shen shi gave her a light salute, "Old madam."

Lin Yan looked at the old lady and then at Lin Yao, who was full of jewels like her mother, imitating Lin Yao's appearance just now, and saluted perfunctorily, "Grandmother."

The old lady's complexion changed, and she said in a stern tone: "What do you mean by Yan'er? You have only left the capital for a few months, how did you become so uneducated, you can't even behave like a man, and you are imitating a woman?"

Shen-shi lowered her eyes and was about to speak when Lin Yan pointed at Lin Yao and said innocently, "I'll follow her example."

The original owner's remaining memory is limited, and he was not taught how to salute.He didn't know the difference between men and women, there was only Lin Yao here, so of course he could only learn from Lin Yao.

Although he didn't know what uneducated meant, it didn't sound like a good word.This old lady is quite old, and she still speaks so harshly and meanly. She must have had a hard time when she was young.

Lin Yao's complexion was also not good, thinking that Lin Yan was mocking her for not properly saluting Mrs. Shen.

"Don't get angry, old lady. It's Yaoer's fault." Mrs. Zhou also felt that Lin Yan was being sarcastic, so she couldn't hold back her face. She forced a smile from the side, and stretched out her hand to push her daughter, "Yaoer, salute to aunt again .”

Lin Yao clenched her lips, glared at Lin Yan bitterly, and then bent down to salute Mrs. Chen in a respectful manner, "Ma'am."

"Okay, it's up to you..." Mrs. Zhou didn't want her daughter to suffer, and was about to let Lin Yan bow to the old lady again, when Mrs. Shen suddenly coughed violently.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen covered her lips with one hand and her chest with the other, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

"Okay, go back and have a rest, there's no need to go to Jinhua's place." The old lady got a headache from her cough, fearing that she would pass on the disease to herself, so she hurriedly waved her hand.

Mother Zhao immediately stepped forward and helped Mrs. Shen go to the door, and Lin Yan followed her step by step.

Shen's courtyard is located in a secluded corner in the northeast corner of Lin Mansion, called Longcui Garden.After entering Yuancui Garden, Shen asked Mama Zhao to let go, pulled Lin Yan over, and sighed: "You, mother knows that you are dissatisfied with them because of the marriage."

Shen thought that Lin Yan did it on purpose because she was dissatisfied with Lin Yao's marriage that originally belonged to Lin Yao.

"Young Master did a good job, it's time to show them some color." Zhao Momo relieved herself from the side.

It was not once or twice that Lin Yao was disrespectful to Mrs. Chen. Before that, because she stayed in the mansion for a few days during the Spring Festival every year, Mrs. Shen never cared about her, which made her less and less consider Mrs. Chen.

Shen didn't say anything, but lightly stroked Lin Yan's hair.

"Madam, this servant will take you back to your room first." Shen's face was exhausted, and she hadn't rested well in the carriage for the past few days, so Nanny Zhao hurriedly helped her back to her room to rest.

"You also go back to your room to rest." Mrs. Chen touched her son's cheek, gave a soft reminder, and went back to her room with the support of Mother Zhao.

Relying on the memory of the original owner, Lin Yan pushed open a door with the birdcage in his arms.

The room was huge, much better furnished and decorated than the previous one.Especially the bed, it looks good to sleep on.

After sending Qiuyun away, just as Lin Yan opened the door of the birdcage, the little squirrel flew out anxiously and asked, "Little tree vine, have you sensed your fruit?"

"I sensed it, and it's in the capital." Lin Yan lay down on the bed relaxedly, rolled in the soft quilt, then frowned, and told what he had just sensed at the gate of the city.

After hearing this, the little squirrel tilted her head in distress, "Hidden? What should I do?"

Lin Yan thought for a while, then took out the purse from her bosom, and this was the only clue left.

In Ripple Court, Lin Yao is angry with her mother.

"Mother, that Lin Yan deliberately satirized me as soon as he came back!" Lin Yao was aggrieved and angry again, "I haven't seen him for a few months, he is getting bolder and bolder!"

"He was holding his breath because of the marriage. He is also the eldest son of our Lin family, bear with him for a few days, and wait for him to marry and go to the Beiling Palace." Zhou comforted her daughter.

"But he dares to be arrogant now. If he married into the Beiling Palace, wouldn't he want to ride on our heads?" Lin Yao grabbed her mother's hand and said angrily.

"Yao'er, you're overthinking. The King of Beiling has always been at odds with your father. He hated the last time he fought against Quan Rong. Your father didn't deliver the food and grass on time, causing his soldiers to starve for several days. This time The absurd marriage is that he wants to take revenge on our family on purpose. The King of Beiling hates your father, so will Lin Yan have good fruit to eat after marrying?" Mrs. Zhou sneered nonchalantly, "Think about the rumors about King Beiling, Lin Yan has gone The palace will not be easy."

Mrs. Zhou patted her daughter's hand, "Don't think about what you have. Apart from you and your brother, he is the only one in our house. Your brother is still young, so if you don't marry him, don't you want to marry Bei? Tomb King?"

Lin Yao quickly shook her head without even thinking about it, she didn't want to marry the King of Beiling, and she didn't want to marry a disfigured and cruel ugly monster.

"That's it. He will never ride on our heads. You are going to marry into the Marquis of Qiyuan's mansion as a concubine." Mrs. Zhou caressed her daughter's petal-like face. Her daughter was born just like her. Beautiful, how can you marry a notorious and disfigured ugly monster?Once Shen Shi dies, she will be able to sit on the position of Mrs. Xiangfu in a legitimate way, and her daughter will also be able to marry Qi Yuanhou's son as his concubine in a glorious manner.

Qiyuanhou's Mansion is the natal family of Concubine Li in the palace, the emperor dotes on Concubine Li, and even attaches great importance to Qiyuanhou's Mansion.Marquis Qi Yuan was born to lead troops to fight, and was once a famous general, but now he is old.The emperor has always intended to cultivate his son, and wants him to take over the military power of King Beiling.

The future of the son is boundless, and he is unparalleled in appearance and personable, only she, the daughter of the number one beauty, is worthy of it.That kid Lin Yan dared to like Shizi, it was wishful thinking.

Thinking of Lin Yan's reluctance to leave Beijing during the Spring Festival, Zhou sneered in her heart.

"Mom, look, there is another pimple on my forehead." Thinking of something, Lin Yao quickly picked up the bronze mirror and looked at her forehead, and saw that the red pimple was bigger than when she was wearing makeup. , she put down the bronze mirror with a snap, and frowned impatiently, "The prince has asked me to meet tomorrow, how can I go to see the prince like this."

"Let me take a look." Zhou looked at her daughter's face, and comforted her in a slow voice, "It's okay, I still have a box of fat cream here, you can take it back and apply it, and it will be fine in one night."

The gel cream can reduce inflammation and calm down, and it can also make the skin delicate.It is used by the ladies in the palace. The last time she entered the palace, the concubine Li gave her two boxes.

"What's the matter? I heard Yao'er's unhappy voice outside." The door curtain was lifted suddenly, and Lin Jinhua came in from outside the house.

"Father." Lin Yao instantly became happy and looked up at her father.

"Why did the master come back alone, where is Xuan'er?" Zhou stood up to meet him, and asked with a smile.

"Let him memorize in the study. He still can't memorize the homework assigned a few days ago." Lin Jinhua looked ugly, "Mr. told me today that Xuan'er is very playful."

"Xuan'er is only twelve, there is no child in the family who is not serious about playfulness. It's because the teacher didn't teach well, so just change to another one." Zhou hurriedly pulled him to sit down at the table.

Lin Jinhua's complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot when he heard the words, "You're still young at [-]? You can calculate how many times you've changed your husband!"

Seeing that Lin Jinhua was angry, Lin Yao hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, smiled and tugged at his sleeve, "Father, don't be angry, drink tea and tea. I will teach him a lesson about my brother."

"Yao'er is still sensible." Looking at Lin Yao, Lin Jinhua's face softened a little, and he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Lin Yao took the opportunity to complain, "Father, Lin Yan is back. He is determined to marry into the Beiling Palace, and now he is very powerful. Just now, he deliberately satirized me at Grandma's!"

Lin Jinhua frowned when he heard this, his face darkened.He was annoyed at the mention of the marriage.

At the celebration banquet that day, the emperor got too drunk for a while and made a slip of the tongue, and promised in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that the King of Beiling would grant whatever reward he wanted.In order to retaliate against him for transporting grain and grass, the King of Beiling asked the emperor to marry him and Yao'er.

In order to dissuade the king of Beiling from marrying Yao'er, he humbled himself in front of the king of Beiling and asked the emperor to intervene, but relying on the emperor's golden words, the king of Beiling insisted on marrying Yao'er.

Knowing that the Beiling Palace has been coveting his few shops in the best part of the West Market, he gritted his teeth and gave the land deed to the Beiling King, begging him to let Yao'er go.He never expected that the Beiling King was really shameless. He accepted the land deed and promised to let Yao'er go, but he also said that he was not jealous of men and women. He didn't mind that Xuan'er was only 12 years old, and he was willing to wait for Xuan'er to grow up.All in all, he wanted to marry someone from the Lin family, regardless of gender.

He almost fainted from anger, but luckily Zhou reminded him that he still has an adult son.

"The marriage is scheduled for seven days later. For the few days he's in the mansion, don't bother with him about these trivial matters." Lin Jinhua told Lin Yao with a sullen face. He really didn't want to make any more troubles. He just wanted this marriage to end as soon as possible. , Send away that plague god of Beiling King quickly.

She didn't expect her father to say this, and Lin Yao would be upset if she put on a stern face. Zhou quickly grabbed her and reminded, "He can't stay for a few days. If you get angry with him and the marriage changes, you Marry the King of Beiling for him?"

Lin Yao immediately shut up and did not speak.

"Okay, let's go back, I still have something to tell your father." Mrs. Zhou asked the maid to fetch the cream and hand it to Lin Yao, telling her to leave.

As soon as Lin Yao left, Mrs. Zhou squeezed Lin Jinhua's shoulders and said, "There are too few servants in Yuancui Garden. I'll send a few more to serve later."

Lin Jinhua was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, and only slightly nodded when he heard the words.

Zhou looked down at his expression, and said softly: "Cousin, why don't you ask my sister? My sister's illness seems to be serious again."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Lin Jinhua's brows, "What's your question?"

Seeing his displeasure, Mrs. Zhou felt relieved, and continued to gently rub his shoulders.

The author has something to say: It will not be so long from tomorrow
