The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

As soon as Lin Yan returned to the palace, Rong Yuan came back and asked Lin Yan: "Doctor Xue came to see what he said?"

"It's nothing. I just said that it might be because I was too tired in the palace before, and it rained again yesterday." Lin Yan brought him a change of casual clothes and said, "I said it's nothing."

"I ordered the kitchen to make more of your favorite food to supplement you in the past few days." Rong Yuan reached out to touch his thin face, took the casual clothes and went to the screen before changing into the official clothes.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he drool when he thought of the braised pork knuckle made in the kitchen of the palace. He stayed in the palace for nearly a month and was a vegetarian every day. He almost forgot the taste of meat.

"What did you discuss at court today?" Lin Yan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, sat at the table to peel walnuts, and chatted with Rong Yuan.

"The little prince's enthronement ceremony." Rong Yuan threw the official uniform he took off on the screen, "The time has been set, seven days later."

So fast?Lin Yan gave a walnut peeling finger and said, "I want to go to the palace in the afternoon."

"You just came out, what are you doing in the palace again?" Rong Yuan changed into casual clothes and came out, asking puzzledly.

Lin Yan continued to peel the walnuts, "I want to see the little prince."

By the way, talk to the queen about the little prince's ascension to the throne.

"...You can't leave him so much?" Rong Yuan sat beside him, stretched out his hands to pinch Lin Yan's face in displeasure, "You like that brat very much?"

Of course I like it, it's his fruit.Lin Yan winked at him, "Don't you think the little prince is cute?"

"I don't think so, it's really clingy and annoying. I don't know if it's like the emperor's wife or my brother who has gone away." Rong Yuan snorted coldly.

Lin Yan: ...

It is impossible for the little prince to be like the empress and the first emperor, and he is not clingy at all. If it is ruled out, the little prince can only be like Rong Yuan.He quietly glanced at Rong Yuan, so the prince was a little sticky bun when he was a child?

"Eat walnuts." Maybe she accidentally caught a glimpse of Rong Yuan's little secret, Lin Yan frowned and put the peeled walnuts into a small bowl and pushed them in front of him.

"If you want to eat, you have to have someone peel it for you. Are you tired of peeling yourself?" Rong Yuan grabbed his hand and looked at it, pushed the peeled walnut back in front of him, and picked up an unpeeled walnut, " You eat, I will peel."

"Then you eat one I peeled first." Lin Yan picked up a large piece of walnut meat and fed it into Rong Yuan's mouth.

Rong Yuan was in charge of peeling, Lin Yan fed Rong Yuan two yuan from time to time while eating by himself, occasionally chatted a few words, and soon the servant girl came to invite them to lunch.

The dishes on the table were all Lin Yan's favorite food. Lin Yan ate two big pieces of pork knuckles before putting down his chopsticks in satisfaction.

"You like pork knuckle so much?" Rong Yuan took a cloth towel and wiped his hands for him. He had already discovered that, no matter what kind of dishes, Lin Yan's favorite food was only pork knuckle.

Lin Yan chuckled, he was almost dead when he was dug up from the ground by a wild boar when he was a child, and he has held a grudge against the wild boar ever since.It was the first time he ate pork knuckles when he became a human being, and he fell in love with them. Pork knuckles are not only delicious, but the most important thing is that every time he eats it, he feels like revenge. Of course he likes it.He is very vengeful!

After eating and resting for a while, Rong Yuan was going to the palace to review the memorial, and Lin Yan went to the palace with him to meet the queen and the little prince.

After the late emperor was buried, the empress finally had time to relax. When Lin Yan left, the empress was resting in the bedroom.The little prince was learning to read and write in the study.

Lin Yan sat in the front hall for a while before the maid beside the queen invited him into the sleeping hall to meet the queen.

"Why don't you take a good rest in the palace and enter the palace again so soon?" The queen sat on the chair by the window and asked him to sit down with her smile.

Lin Yan glanced at the maids serving beside her, the queen understood, waited for the tea, and waved all the palace people in the room to go down.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Lin Yan explained the purpose of coming, "I heard from the lord that seven days later, the little prince's enthronement ceremony will be held."

The smile on the queen's face paused, "You want to take Yi'er away?"

"...No." Lin Yan shook his head, hesitated to speak, "I'm just worried, can he be the emperor? What if his true identity is discovered..."

"No, I have already consulted Master Hongyi. As long as Yi'er wears the two bracelets that Ankang left him, he will not be discovered." The sudden death of the Huanghui disrupted our original plan, and now the only one who can inherit the throne is Yi'er. If you want to take Yi'er away, I will naturally not stop you, but do you really want to leave the prince?"

Lin Yan naturally didn't want to, the queen glanced at him, smiled and said: "Since you don't want to leave, why don't you let Yi'er take the throne. Although Yi'er ate your fruit, the blood of the royal family is still flowing in his body. worthy of the throne."

Lin Yan understood what the queen meant. Although the core of the little prince was his fruit, his body was still born of the queen, with the blood of the royal family flowing.Even if you don't care about your body, it's because of the prince's blood that the fruit bears fruit.So in any case, the little prince is indeed qualified to inherit the throne.

Now it seems that the little prince has no other choice but to ascend the throne.Big deal, when the little prince grows up a few years later, if he doesn't want to stay in the palace, then take him back to Longyuan Mountain.As for the prince...then we should tie him up together.Anyway, Longyuan Mountain is so big, he knows many places where people can hide, and he is not afraid of people looking for it.

Lin Yan made up her mind and said to the queen: "Your Majesty is right, I was overthinking."

The queen nodded with a smile, "Yi'er is still young and doesn't understand anything. Although he is on the throne, he usually relies on the prince to deal with the important affairs of the court. So you don't have to worry that he will be busy. If you want to see him, you can enter the palace at any time. Take him out of the house and be careful not to let other people know."

The queen was so considerate, Lin Yan was very moved, and said earnestly: "Thank you, Ma'am."

"I also have selfish intentions." The queen said frankly, "If you stay with the prince for a while longer, Ankang will have more hope of surviving."

Ever since Eunuch An was struck by a thunderbolt, he has been soaking it in Lin Yan's vine juice.The scorched black scars on the fish's body fell off piece by piece, and now new fish scales have grown completely.Master Hongyi just came to see it yesterday, and said that the anger on the little carp has become stronger.

"I will continue to help Eunuch An." Lin Yan readily agreed, the little prince's matter was settled, he relaxed, reached out and took a piece of chestnut cake from the table and fed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up, his cheeks bulged and he said vaguely , "Niang Niang, your chestnut cake here is really delicious."

"This is made by the cook in my palace. If you like it, I will ask the kitchen to make more for you to eat." The queen laughed, seeing how delicious he was eating, she couldn't help but also took a piece of chestnut cake and fed it to him. In his mouth, he just took a bite and swallowed, when he suddenly frowned, quickly put down the chestnut cake, and covered his lips.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" Lin Yan was taken aback and asked hastily.

"It's okay." The queen stroked her chest and waved her hand, "I was busy with the death of the emperor before, probably because I was too tired and lost my appetite."

"Young lady, rest well, I won't bother you." Lin Yan put down the chestnut cake and clapped his hands, "I'll go see the little prince."

"I'll ask someone to take you to the study." The queen didn't keep him, and called the maid to come in, and took Lin Yan to the study.

The little prince dozed off dizzily while reading in the study. Seeing that Lin Yan had gone, he immediately regained his energy, and quickly climbed down from the chair higher than him, and ran to grab Lin Yan's hand regardless of the sir's call. .Lin Yan played with the little prince until the sun went down, Rong Yuan came to pick him up and go back to the palace after reviewing the memorial.

The sun was setting, and the red sunset glow on the horizon stretched to the invisible sky.In the slowly swaying carriage, Lin Yan leaned on the window with his chin propped up to watch the bustling market outside, Rong Yuan reached out and grabbed his ear, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"There are a lot of people." Lin Yan turned his head and pulled him to look out together, "Why are everyone hanging lanterns on the trees?"

Rong Yuan leaned over slightly, and looked out face-to-face with him. There were many lanterns hung on the trees and stalls on both sides of the street, and many people along the way were hanging lanterns at the door of their shops one after another.

Rong Yuan counted the days in his mind, suddenly remembered, and said, "Tonight is Qixi Festival."

"Qixi?" Lin Yan turned her head in doubt, the two were too close, soft lips brushed against Rong Yuan's sharp corners.

"...You don't know Qixi Festival?" Rong Yuan also turned his head and looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows.

"Of course I know!" Lin Yan immediately denied it without even thinking about it, and explained with a guilty conscience, "I just haven't seen what Qixi Festival looks like in the capital!"

A half of Rong Yuan's attention was on talking to him, and the other half of his attention was on his opening and closing lips. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed his lips for a while, and then let go after a while He whispered, "I'll show you tonight."

Lin Yan lay in Rong Yuan's arms dizzy from being kissed, and by the time he realized it, he had jumped out of the carriage under his embrace.

The coachman was sent back to the palace, Rong Yuan took Lin Yan's hand and wandered in the street.Since Lin Yan came down to the capital, this was the first time he went shopping with Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan is tall and tall, with half of his face wearing a mask, his features are too obvious.After walking for a while, he was recognized by the people along the way, and their eyes fell on him and Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked embarrassed, pulled Rong Yuan to hold his hand, tugged on Rong Yuan's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Let's find a place to eat first."

Not far ahead is Tianxiang Building, Rong Yuan led him in and asked for the private room upstairs.

After dinner, it was already dark, and the lanterns on both sides of the market were lit up.Lin Yan looked around for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, he shook off Rong Yuan's hand and ran for two steps, then turned back when he remembered something, ran back to Rong Yuan, untied the purse on his waist, took a piece of silver, and ran back to the place just now. In front of the stall she saw, she picked out a mask that could cover her entire face, and went back to ask Rong Yuan to put it on.

The streets were crowded with people, and some young children were also wearing masks.Rong Yuan put on the same ordinary mask as theirs, it was finally not so conspicuous.Lin Yan felt relieved and took him to start shopping.

The air was filled with the smell of freshly baked sugar cakes and jelly, and there were small stalls selling snacks on both sides of the road. After walking for a short distance, Lin Yan's arms were full of food.If you can't hold it, give it to Rong Yuan to help him.

It was the first time for Lin Yan to go to the market at night, and when she saw a crowded place, she couldn't help but go to watch the excitement, and quickly walked back and forth among the crowd.Worried that he might run away, Rong Yuan held him with one hand and helped him get food with the other.

There are stalls selling lotus lanterns on both sides of the street.Many young men and women bought them and carried them to the stone bridge not far away.

Lin Yan looked at the novelty and didn't know what they were going to do with the lotus lanterns. The owner of a stall stopped him and said with a smile, "Xiao Langjun, let's buy a lotus lantern and put it by the lake today on Qixi Festival."

It turns out that this lotus lantern was placed by the lake?Lin Yan suddenly realized, Rong Yuan squeezed his hand beside him and said, "Pick one you like."

Lin Yan picked out the most beautiful lotus lantern and held it in her hand, and went to the stone bridge hand in hand with Rong Yuan.

There is a big tree beside the stone bridge, which used to be bare, but tonight it is covered with lanterns, which looks very beautiful in the bright moonlight.The lakeside under the stone bridge was full of tourists, and the lake was full of lit lotus lanterns. When the breeze blew, the candlelight in the lotus lanterns swayed gently. Lin Yan was stunned.

"Let's go, let's go too." Rong Yuan took his hand, walked from the bridge to the lake, borrowed a pen and paper, and wrote their names on the paper.

Lin Yan stood beside him, looked left and right, and found that most of the people by the lake were standing together in twos, there were men and women, and there were also two men, with an intimate look.Like Rong Yuan, they are writing their names on paper.

Rong Yuan finished writing, folded the paper and put it into the lotus lantern, lit the candles inside, handed it to Lin Yan, and then led Lin Yan to the lake.

Lin Yan carried it carefully, and when she reached the lake, she bent down and carefully put the lotus lantern into the lake, following the example of the people next to her.The lotus lantern is swaying and slowly drifting towards the middle of the lake along the current.

"Close your eyes and make a wish." Rong Yuan stretched out his big palm to cover his eyes, and whispered in his ear.

He still knew the wish, Lin Yan thought about it, and silently made a wish in his heart, hoping that he would not become a snake demon, he wanted to be with the prince forever.

The two stood by the lake for a while, and waited for their lotus lantern to float to the middle of the lake and merged with other lotus lanterns. They couldn't tell each other apart, then turned around and walked slowly back along the way they came from.

The streets around the stone bridge are the busiest. As we walked farther, the number of people gradually decreased, and the number of stalls on both sides of the street also decreased.Under a somewhat dim lantern in front, an old lady was holding a small stall, tremblingly hawking, "Sweet soup, sweet soup."

There were two tables in front of the stall, empty with no customers.

"Both young masters, do you want sweet soup? It doesn't cost money if it's not sweet and delicious." Seeing the two of them, the old woman greeted them with a smile.

Seeing that she was busy alone without any guests, Lin Yan couldn't bear it, pulled Rong Yuan over to sit down, and said, "Mother-in-law, bring us two bowls of sweet soup."

The old woman laughed quickly and said, "Hey, right now."

"Mother-in-law, why did you set up a stall here and didn't go to the front? There are too many people in front." Lin Yan asked doubtfully when her mother-in-law came over with sweet soup.

"I'm getting old, and I'm the only one in the family, so I can't squeeze those young people. On a good day like Qixi Festival, the good places have already been taken up, so it's not my turn to be an old woman." The old woman shook her head with a smile, put down the sweet soup, and said, "Drink slowly, both of you." She turned around tremblingly and continued to work.

From when they sat down to when they left, only the guests at their table came to the old lady.When she finished drinking and left, Lin Yan tugged at Rong Yuan's sleeve, Rong Yuan understood, and quietly put down a broken piece of silver on the table.

As the night darkened, the two walked towards the Wangfu.After walking for a while, Lin Yan stopped suddenly and covered his stomach.

Rong Yuan looked back at him, and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Stomach pain?"

Lin Yan shook her head embarrassingly, "I drank too much sweet soup, and my stomach is a little bloated."

Rong Yuan couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud, he licked his forehead with his fingers, "If you can't drink enough, just leave it there, such a big bowl, who asked you to finish it."

I had eaten before, and when I was shopping, I ate so many snacks and a big bowl of sweet soup. It's no wonder my stomach doesn't bloat.

"It's so pitiful for the old lady to set up a stall by herself at such a late hour. You see how happy the old lady is when I finish drinking." Lin Yan said bitterly, "Besides, the sweet soup made by the old lady is really delicious."

Rong Yuan reached out to touch his lips, and said thoughtfully, "Is it delicious? I seem to have forgotten the taste."

Lin Yan: "..."

Lin Yan raised her head to look at him vigilantly, her eyes couldn't help but wander around, her ears turned red, and she stammered, "This...this is outside..."

Rong Yuan looked around noncommittally, they were already far away from the bustling market, the surrounding lights were dim, the crowd gathered at the market next to the stone bridge, and there were no pedestrians around.There is an alley next to the two of them.Rong Yuan pulled him into the alley, before Lin Yan could react, he was pressed against the wall and kissed.

Lin Yan struggled for a moment, and soon melted into a small bowl of sweet soup in his arms.

The moonlight is alluring on the night of Qixi Festival, but in the Renshou Palace of the Empress Dowager, the atmosphere is heavy.

"What are you talking about? Princess Beiling is also a monster?!" The queen mother looked at the people in front of her and cried out in shock.

"Empress Dowager, this is what Master Yan Wu saw with his own eyes. It's absolutely true." After Du Mingxiu cupped his hands and said, he glanced at a middle-aged man wearing a lay monk's uniform beside him. Empress, the concubine is indeed a monster. During the mourning period of the late emperor, I have been chanting scriptures in front of the coffin for salvation, and when the concubine was keeping watch, I sensed a demonic aura from him!"

The queen mother's fingers trembled, and she couldn't believe it, "How could he be a monster? Isn't it rumored that the Beiling King has the spirit of a real dragon, and evil spirits can't get close to him?!"

Although the Empress Dowager was unwilling to believe that the real dragon spirit was not in his son, but in Rong Yuan's body, but her own son had already passed away, she could only grit her teeth and watch Rong Yuan take over.She gritted her teeth with hatred for the snake demon who killed her son, and now she came to tell her that there are monsters in the royal family!

The mage named Yan Wu said: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhao can get close to the body of the late emperor. The Beiling King's true dragon aura has been sealed. It's not surprising that a monster with a little skill can get close to him."

The queen mother took a deep breath, waved her hands and ordered, "Mingxiu, go and call the king of Beiling into the palace, and tell him that the princess is a monster!"

"Absolutely not." Du Mingxiu said hastily, "Your Majesty, the lord has already been bewitched. If you tell him that he won't believe it, he will startle the snake! Think about the example of the late emperor. We have to catch the wangfei without telling the lord. Just do it!"

The author has something to say: It will be done tomorrow, don’t be cruel, don’t worry
