The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

Looking up and seeing Lin Yan approaching, he got on his horse blankly.

Nanny Zhao accompanied Lin Yan into the carriage.This was Lin Yan's first time entering the palace, and Mother Zhao babbled and taught him: "When you enter the palace, you must follow the prince closely, and don't run around carelessly. When you see the emperor, follow the prince and salute, don't look at it carelessly. Answer what?"

Lin Yan opened the curtains while listening, and quietly looked at the man on the horse beside him, feeling a little depressed.The benefactor doesn't seem to like him very much, he just met and didn't say a word to him.

Why.He leaned against the window and sighed softly.

Rong Yuan was riding his horse with no distractions, when he suddenly heard a small sigh coming from the carriage beside him, he turned his head, and saw Lin Yanzheng lying on the window looking at him with a disappointed face.Seeing him looking over, he hurriedly looked away, pretending to look outside.

Rong Yuan turned his head and noticed the gaze projected from the side again.He turned his head again, and Lin Yan hurriedly looked away again.

Rong Yuan frowned and looked at him for a moment, then beat his horse forward with a cold face.

The official's carriage cannot enter the palace, and the palace has sent a carriage to wait at the gate of the palace.Lin Yan got into the carriage in the palace and found that Rong Yuan was still riding the horse, so he whispered to the little eunuch who came to pick him up: "Doesn't the lord need to ride the carriage with me?"

"My lord has the emperor's dispensation to enter and leave the palace on horseback." The little eunuch looked fearfully at Rong Yuan on the horse and replied in a low voice.

After traveling in a carriage for a while, I couldn't go any further and could only walk in.Lin Yan kept Zhao Mama's words in mind, got out of the carriage, and followed Rong Yuan closely.

The palace is very big.Lin Yan followed Rong Yuan, quietly looking around.He was too focused on sizing up, he didn't notice that Rong Yuan stopped for a while, and he bumped straight into Rong Yuan's back.

"Oops." Rong Yuan's back was so hard that his nose hurt, he stretched out his hand to cover his nose and let out a cry of pain.

Rong Yuan turned to look at him, frowning tightly, and finally said the first sentence between the two, "Do you not look at the road when you walk?"

"...I'm sorry." Lin Yan covered her nose and apologized to him in a low voice.

Seeing him holding his nose, Rong Yuan frowned and said, "Bleeding? Wipe it off with a handkerchief, you will see the emperor soon."

In fact, there is no bleeding, but the nose is still a little sore.However, Lin Yan listened to his benefactor very much, so he reached out to take out the handkerchief in his sleeve, but he couldn't take it out.

"No?" Rong Yuan frowned, seeing the emperor's personal eunuch Fu Gonggong come out of the imperial study, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it to him.

"My lord, my concubine, my majesty invites you in." Eunuch Fu walked in front of them and said with a smile.

Rong Yuan walked towards the imperial study, Lin Yan tucked the handkerchief into his sleeve and followed quickly.

The emperor was very kind to Rong Yuan and rewarded him with a lot of things.While the two were talking, Lin Yan quietly looked up at the emperor.The emperor is young, with a gentle face, he doesn't look as unapproachable as Rong Yuan.

After saying a few words, Rong Yuan cupped his hands and said: "I still have to go to the Empress Dowager and the Concubine, so I will take my leave first."

The emperor nodded and agreed: "Go, the queen mother and concubine are waiting for you."

After coming out of the imperial study, he walked for a while, and Lin Yan was dizzy, and finally arrived at the empress dowager's bedroom.

The Queen Mother treated the two of them indifferently, rewarded them with some things, and let them leave.

After coming out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, I walked another zigzag, and arrived at the Dowager's bedroom.

Lin Yan thought that she could leave because she was rewarded with something, but the concubine said to the maid next to her, "Please sit in the side hall, the concubine, I have something to say to the prince."

Lin Yan glanced at Rong Yuan, seeing that he didn't speak, so he had no choice but to go to the side hall with the maid.

The maid brought a pot of tea and snacks and left.Lin Yan walked to the window and looked outside.

On the way he came, he discovered that the harem was faintly haunted.It's just that the evil spirit is vague and not very real.Just like his fruit, it can sense its existence, but not its location.

Lin Yan grew up in Longyuan Mountain, and only had contact with the little monsters in Longyuan Mountain, and didn't know what kind of monsters were outside.

Not far from the corridor, two little maids passed by, talking in a low voice while walking.

"The empress has taken the little prince to Linghua Temple, and he won't come back until half a month later."

"That's right, I heard that my mother wants to ask the abbot to hold a blessing ceremony for the little prince. Linghua Temple has gained a great reputation. In the future, the name of Huguo Temple will most likely fall to Linghua Temple."

"Who said that Linghua Temple is really effective? The little prince was born with an incomplete soul. He stayed there for three years. No matter how many masters he invited to see him, he couldn't do anything. The empress took the little prince to Linghua Temple three months ago. Please host it." It will be fine after a while. Look at the little prince who is alive and kicking now, how can he look stupid like before."

"The little prince is so good, the concubine Li should be very angry. She finally conceived this child, and the imperial doctor took the pulse and said it was the little prince. Who would have thought that the little prince would recover before she was born."

"Who told her to give birth to a princess before. It's strange to say that there are so many concubines in the palace, except for the queen, none of them gave birth to a prince. Those concubines who were pregnant did not give birth to princesses, or they died before they were born. .”

"It was very dangerous when the queen gave birth to the little prince. Back then, the queen and the concubine Li were pregnant at the same time, but the queen fell down in the bedroom when she was about to give birth. I heard that the blood flow could not be stopped. The imperial doctors said that the little prince The crown prince can't be kept, but who knows, the empress is lucky and fateful, so she gave birth to the little prince safely. Although the little prince is stupid, he has kept the position of queen. If there is no little prince, the queen's position may already be Li It's my concubine's."

"I said that this Concubine Li is not the queen's life. I heard that Concubine Li has always felt that there is something weird in this palace. In order to protect the safety of this little prince, she even asked someone to invite a mage to the palace. On the way."

"Doesn't the emperor not believe this? He also invited the mage to live in the palace."

"Who told Concubine Li to be favored? Even if you want the stars in the sky, the emperor will let people pick them up."

The two whispered and walked away, Lin Yan propped his chin and listened with relish.He had only heard gossip from the little squirrel from the village before, but he didn't expect the gossip in the palace to be so interesting.

That Concubine Li felt right, there was indeed something strange in the palace, there was a monster hiding.But what do the mages they talk about do, specialize in catching monsters?

Lin Yan couldn't help but trembled in fear, then he would have to stay far away from the palace to avoid being caught.

After listening to the gossip, Lin Yan took a piece of pastry and fed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately.The pastries in this palace are much more delicious than outside.He took out the handkerchief that Rong Yuan gave him, wrapped a few pieces of pastries, and was going to take them out for Little Yellow Bird, Mother Zhao and Qiu Yun to taste.

Just put the wrapped pastry into her bosom and hid it, the maid who brought him back just now came back and said that the concubine had finished talking with the lord, and the lord was waiting for him outside.

Lin Yan hurried out with her.Rong Yuan was standing in front of the hall waiting for him, wearing a black robe with gold trim and a black mask, his face was as frosty, with a gloomy and murderous aura lingering all over his body.Compared to when he entered the palace, he seemed to be in a worse mood.

Lin Yan was puzzled but did not dare to ask, followed Rong Yuan out of the palace and got into the carriage.

When he reached the gate of the palace, Rong Yuan got off his horse and strode into the palace without looking back.He has long legs and long strides, Lin Yan has to trot to catch up.Just after passing the Chuihua Gate, I met Zhang Bo who came in a hurry.

"My lord, the old Duke brought the second son of his family to apologize and is waiting for the lord in the flower hall." Seeing them come back, Uncle Zhang hurriedly said.

With a cold face, Rong Yuan turned the corner and went to the Flower Hall. Zhang Bo saw that Lin Yan was only surrounded by Mother Zhao, and there was no servant from the palace to follow him. He was worried that he would not know the way back to the backyard, so he said: "The old slave will take the princess back. .”

"Uncle Zhang..." On the way back to the backyard, Lin Yan asked suspiciously: "Why did the prince come back from the palace, and he seemed even more unhappy?"

Zhang Bo sighed, "Have you gone to see the concubine?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Well, the concubine still left him to talk for a while."

Uncle Zhang had a good impression of him, not to mention it was no secret, so he said: "Since the birth mother died of illness, the lord has been fostered under the name of the concubine. Although they have the status of mother and child, the relationship between the lord and the concubine is not very good. The concubine has a son under her knees, King Yu. The concubine has always wanted King Yu to make some achievements in the army, so she approached our lord, and asked him to help him make some military achievements in the Northwest Army. But the Northwest Army under the lord's command, want to One must rely on strength to make military achievements, how can one rely on relationships to fight from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood? So every time the prince comes back from the concubine, he will be in a bad mood."

"Princess, don't worry, the lord is not targeting you." Seeing Lin Yan's frowning face with a disappointed expression, Zhang Bo couldn't help comforting his lord.

"Oh." Lin Yan nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help worrying about his benefactor. The relationship in the palace is so complicated, and the benefactor doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his family.

After sending Lin Yan back to the backyard, Uncle Zhang hurried to the flower hall again.The old Duke had already led his second son away, leaving only Rong Yuan sitting in the living room drinking tea.Uncle Zhang worriedly asked: "My lord, the old Duke and the Second Young Master are fine, you didn't kill them, did you?"

Rong Yuan raised his eyelids and looked at him coldly, with an irritable tone, "The old man is trembling and can't stand still, he can fall down with just a breath, and his stupid grandson can pee his pants with a loud voice. I am fierce They, let them touch porcelain in turn?"

Zhang Bosong breathed a sigh of relief. The sons of Duke Zhen were either gambling or idle. The only son who was considered a success died young, leaving behind a stupid grandson.Zhen Guogong is very old, he can't walk steadily, and he has to take care of this stupid grandson.

"Let's forget what happened yesterday," Zhang Bo said.Yesterday was the old man's silly grandson who brought a group of children to break into the new house first. The old man had already come to apologize, so they wouldn't be too fussy.But yesterday it was really thanks to the princess that their palace didn't make a fool of themselves on their wedding day.

"Forget it? Does the old man's stupid grandson know that he is having a bridal chamber?" Rong Yuan's eyes were dark, and he squeezed the teacup with his fingers, and the teacup shattered with a "bang", and a few strands of blood flowed out from his fingers.

"The young master of the Yan family thinks that life is too comfortable, so he dares to run on my head and act wildly." He deliberately made a fuss in the new house yesterday, but he was only disfigured and not blind.Rong Yuan ignored his injured finger, reached out and knocked on the table, a black figure turned around and jumped in from the window.

"Find someone to beat him up, it's fine if you don't beat him up, and then find a reason to throw him in jail so that he can suffer a lot." After Rong Yuan finished speaking coldly, Hei Ying jumped out again.

"Call the doctor quickly!" Uncle Zhang saw that his fingers were bleeding badly, so he hurriedly called his servants.

However, Rong Yuan pulled a handkerchief out of his arms and wiped the blood on his fingers casually, then left without paying attention to Uncle Zhang.
