Didn't Love You Enough

Chapter 42 The Palace Part 5

Lin Jiabao felt full of energy after taking a nap.He went to the courtyard where his parents lived, saw his mother, eldest sister, second sister, and younger sister, and heard from his mother that his father and eldest brother were called by His Royal Highness to introduce some officials.The four children were chasing and playing in the yard, and the two older children, Lin Jiacai and Lin Xiuer, also joined in, and the yard was full of their laughter.Lin Jiner, Lin Lier and Wu Qiaolan watched from the side.Lin Jiabao was also in a good mood by them, laughed and talked a lot, and even acted coquettishly towards his mother.

Unfortunately, not long after, this warm and happy scene was broken by three uninvited guests.Lin Lier looked at Ke Meili and the three of them, mother and daughter, and frowned, thinking that there must be nothing good for them to come here.He ran up and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Li'er, you girl, why are you so rude! How can your husband's family bear you with such a temper!"

Zhang Huiniang pushed Lin Lier aside and let her and Wu Qiaolan watch the child together. "Forget it, she is your aunt after all, so let me change your temper."

Seeing that the mother and daughter seemed to have something to say, Zhang Huiniang took the three of them to the next pavilion and sat down.Seeing this, Lin Jiner also came in together.

Ke Meili was very envious when she saw that there was an exquisite and beautiful pavilion in their yard, thinking that if she could persuade Jiabao to succeed later, then they would be treated the same as Zhang Huiniang in the future.Then he flattered Lin Jiabao and said, "Jiabao, your sister Chun'er told me, and it really caused you trouble. I've already told her, don't mind."

Lin Jiabao didn't really care, "It doesn't matter."

Zhang Huiniang and Lin Jin'er were also very angry when they heard that Lin Chun'er begged his younger brother to seek an official from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Isn't this making it difficult for my brother!

Seeing that they were angry, Ke Meili immediately wiped away her tears. "Hey! We Chun'er are suffering, and our stomach has not moved yet. The life in Wang's family is pitiful! We can only follow the instructions of our parents-in-law, alas! I don't know how to go back! Don't blame us It's spring."

Seeing this, Zhang Huiniang and the others couldn't say anything more.

Seeing that their attitudes had improved, Ke Meili continued to talk. "Speaking of children! I'm also worried about your Jiabao. Jiabao is a twin child. It's hard for this heir..."

Zhang Huiniang and the others immediately reprimanded angrily: "Ke Meili, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, what I said is true. I also thought of a way to tell you this." Ke Meili ignored Zhang Huiniang and the others' anger and continued.

"What can you do?" Lin Jin'er said disdainfully.

Ke Meili pulled Lin Xia'er in front of her, "Look, our Xia'er is about to reach his age, it would be great if we let her be the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, Xia'er will give birth to a child, and Jiabao and the others They're cousins ​​again, wouldn't it be great if we could take care of each other!"

"It's beautiful to think about it!" Lin Jin'er didn't believe Ke Meili's words. If they really succeeded, how could they take care of her brother? It would be nice if they didn't play tricks on Jiabao.

"Get out! Get out of here!" Zhang Huiniang couldn't understand their attention.

Lin Lier, who was eavesdropping, jumped out and cursed at Lin Xiaer. "Well, you Lin Xia'er, dare to miss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I don't even look at your virtues, you are not even worthy of being a palace maid for our family treasure! Go and dream of your big head!"

"Why am I not worthy? Your Highness the Crown Prince has the final say." Lin Xia'er said to Lin Jiabao, "Brother Jiabao, please introduce Your Highness the Crown Prince to me. There will definitely be many, many women in the future , I'm your cousin and I'll always be there for you, Brother Jiabao, don't worry."

"No!" Lin Jiabao replied decisively without even thinking about it.

Ke Meili and the three of them did not expect Lin Jiabao to refuse so firmly.Lin Chun'er said to Lin Jiabao: "Jiabao, we are here for you!"

"Is it for the good of Jiabao, or for your own good! You know it in your heart!" Lin Jiner also said beside her.

"Stop talking, I won't introduce you. You go away, I don't want to see you." Lin Jiabao said firmly, without leaving any room for it.

Lin Jiabao held the little brocade bag he was wearing with him, felt the outline of the little seal, and decided in his heart that no matter how many difficulties there were, he would never share His Highness the Crown Prince with anyone.

Ke Meili and the three of them suddenly became a little timid when they saw Lin Jiabao's calm and decisive aura.Lin Xia'er took her mother and sister and left, thinking that she couldn't believe it, would there be nothing she could do without Lin Jiabao?snort!When she wins the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince, she will want him to look good!

After Lin Xia'er went back, she gave money to the father-in-law in charge of the courtyard where they lived, and asked him to inquire about the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince.In her heart, Lin Xiaer imagined a chance encounter with His Royal Highness, and then tried to make His Highness fall in love with her...

Xuanyuan Han received the news from the dark guard and snorted coldly. "A rat who came uninvited and overestimated his capabilities." He dared to make Guaibao unhappy, it's like killing him!Since Guaibao said that he didn't want to see them, he did so.

Lin Jiabao was sitting in a daze, playing with a small seal in his hand.Seeing Xuanyuan Hancheng come back, he immediately stood up.

"Baby, do you still like this seal?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked, it was his first time to carve a seal, and this was the result of his carving a lot of pieces of jade, so he was quite satisfied.

"I like it, I really like it, and I want to engrave a piece for my husband, but...my handwriting is not good-looking."

Xuanyuan Hancheng took Guaibao's little hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it. "It's good that the baby likes it, don't engrave it. It will hurt your hands, and my husband will feel bad about it then."

Under Xuanyuan Hancheng's gentle gaze, Lin Jiabao suddenly felt very worried.After hearing Ke Meili's words in the afternoon, he felt uncomfortable.The husband is so good to him, if he can't bear children for him in the future.That……

Xuanyuan Hancheng stroked Guaibao's slightly frowned brows. "Don't frown, baby, tell your husband if you are unhappy."

Lin Jiabao told Xuanyuan Hancheng what Ke Meili and the others had said, and he never had any reservations about his husband. "My child... I'm afraid..."

"Silly treasure, don't think too much about it, let's do whatever you want with the child, don't worry about it." Jiabao had a child in his previous life, and in this life he has taken good care of Baobao.They were young too, and he wasn't worried at all.

After living a new life, Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't treat his offspring as seriously as he did in his previous life.He will not force it, he is already full of gratitude to God for being able to spend this life with Guaibao in this life.For the heirs, it's just resignation. Even if Jiabao has no children in this life, he still has a younger brother who is a direct relative. In the future, it is not impossible for him to adopt his younger brother's direct son.

Lin Jiabao was relieved a lot when he got his husband's words.Seeing Guaibao's brows stretched, Xuanyuan Hancheng held him in his arms and kissed him in the ear. "Xianggong will love you a lot in the future, let's work hard at night."

After hearing what Xuanyuan Hancheng said, Lin Jiabao felt a little embarrassed again, and hummed lightly.

Xuanyuan Hancheng said again: "I have talked with your eldest brother today. He will come to Beijing next year to take the Imperial Academy exam. If there is no accident, he will study in the Imperial Academy in Beijing. He will take the scientific examination in a year."

"That's great. Eldest brother has loved reading since he was a child. It's great to be able to study in Beijing." Lin Jiabao was also very happy for his elder brother.

"I told your father that I hope they can come to live in Beijing next year. This way, it will be convenient for Baobao to see his family in the future." Xuanyuan Hancheng said another thing that made Baobao happy.

"Really! Really! It's really great!" Lin Jiabao was extremely happy, the corners of his mouth raised to form a beautiful arc, and his eyes were smiling.

Lin Dazhuang and Lin Jiawen returned to the courtyard where they lived, and excitedly shared with everyone in the Lin family what they had seen and heard today.

"Today, His Royal Highness introduced officials from the Lizhou area for us. It's really a big honor." Lin Dazhuang said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness said that our family Wen should go to the capital to study, and he also introduced the great Confucianism of the time as a gentleman."

Zhang Huiniang was also very excited when she heard it, "Is Jiawen real? This is really great."

Wu Qiaolan hugged Bo Geer and was also very happy to hear it.

Lin Jiawen himself was a little excited, Guozijian was the place that all the candidates yearned for. "You have to pass the Imperial College's exam first."

"Yes, Jiawen, you have to take the exam hard this time, and don't disappoint the kindness of His Highness the Prince." Lin Dazhuang urged Lin Jiawen.

"No. My son will definitely work hard." Lin Jiawen remembered what His Royal Highness said, that the Lin family will definitely enter the court in the future, and entering the Imperial College is only the first step.

Lin Jiawen made up his mind that he not only had to be admitted to the Imperial College, but also had to be admitted with excellent grades. For Jiabao, for his family and for his own future, he really had to work hard here.

"His Royal Highness also said, let us live in Beijing, and we will have the opportunity to see Jiabao in the future. I think that if we live for a long time, our peasant family will not be used to living. It is good to live for a period of time a year. Let Jiawen and his young couple live here." Lin Dazhuang said his plan.

"It seems that His Royal Highness has planned a lot for Jiabao." Zhang Huiniang said with emotion, "Unfortunately, I am just worried about Jiabao..."

"What happened to Jiabao?" Lin Dazhuang asked without knowing why.

"Jiabao is a blessed one, mother, don't think too much about it. I think His Royal Highness is obviously very concerned about our Jiabao." Lin Jiner comforted her mother, and told her father and Jiawen what happened this afternoon. , Then she said her worries. "I'm afraid Lin Xia'er and the others won't give up. I'm a little worried that they will do something strange."

Lin Dazhuang was also very angry when he heard about this matter, so he wanted to go to Lin Dali's family.They were stopped by Jiawen. "Father, don't be impulsive. This is a palace after all. I don't think it will be easy for them to get close to His Highness the Crown Prince."

While Lin Dazhuang and the others were worried, Lin Dali's family and Lin Chuner and his wife were involuntarily taken into a dark room by the guards.Everyone panicked. The whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince, who Lin Xiaer was waiting to inquire about a moment ago, was already in front of His Highness the Crown Prince at this moment.

"His Royal Highness..." Seeing His Royal Highness sitting on top, everyone hurriedly knelt down to salute His Royal Highness.

Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't call to get up, and let them kneel down, looking at them with very cold eyes.

"His Royal Highness...why did you ask the guards to bring us here?" Lin Xiaer boldly asked His Royal Highness.

"Why?" Xuanyuan Hancheng sneered, looking at Lin Xia'er as if looking at a dead person. "Yuanfu..."

Yuan Fu brought an eunuch over, and that eunuch was the one who Lin Xia'er asked him to inquire about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness with money.The man confessed without any fluctuations in tone that Lin Xia'er bribed him and asked him to find out the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince.

"How should we deal with spying on Prince Chu's whereabouts?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked casually, but Lin Dali's family was already in a cold sweat.

Yuan Fu replied in a sharp voice: "Going back to His Royal Highness is a capital offense."

"No...no..." Hearing that it was a capital offense, Ke Meili cried in fright.

"His Royal Highness, my daughter is young and ignorant. Please, for the sake of Mr. Lin, please forgive her this time." Lin Dali hurriedly begged for mercy to His Royal Highness.

"Your Highness, the little girl didn't intend to inquire about your whereabouts maliciously, I just...just admire you, Your Highness!" Lin Xia'er was already crying like pear blossoms and raining, and the way her tears welled up on her eyelashes made people feel pity.

"Presumptuous!" Yuan Fu scolded. "Is His Royal Highness the prince you and the common people can think of?"

"His Royal Highness, please take pity on me, little girl... little girl looks better than Lin Jiabao, and she is a girl... and..." Lin Xiaer was interrupted by His Royal Highness before she could finish speaking.

"Shameless stuff. Who will allow you to call Lin Fangjun by his first name?" Xuanyuan Hancheng heard that Lin Xia'er actually compared herself with Guaibao. "Yuan Fu, palm her mouth."

Yuan Fu directed two guards to go up and grab Lin Xiaer, and then asked a thick guard to go up and slap her. "Woooo..." Lin Xia'er's pretty face was instantly flushed from the beating.

"His Royal Highness, please spare us Xia'er, don't hit her...don't hit her..." Ke Meili cried and begged for mercy when she saw her little daughter being slapped in a hurry.

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Xia'er's little face with no expression on his face, blood was flowing from the beating.

"Woooo..." Lin Xia'er was beaten so painfully that one of her teeth was knocked out.Only then did she wake up in fear. She understood now that even if she was beaten to death now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not frown.It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince who is extremely gentle towards Lin Jiabao is just an illusion, and this is the true face of His Highness the Crown Prince who is ruthless.She turned out to be so naive...

It wasn't until Xuanyuan Hancheng raised his hand slightly that he stopped slapping Lin Xia'er.Lin Xia'er had already passed out from the pain.

Lin Dali and the others hurriedly shouted: "Xia'er...Xia'er..."

Lin Chun'er kowtowed to His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Please Your Highness, please spare my sister. She knows she is wrong and dare not do it again."

"You are really a good sister. I heard that your father-in-law wants to be promoted." Xuanyuan Hancheng said in a flat tone, "Master Wang is getting old. Since there is no credit and hard work, it is time to take care of his life."

Lin Chun'er's husband gasped when he heard this, he is going to remove his father from office!

"It's so lonely that I thought of a good place for your father-in-law. How about the border town? Lin Dali and your family should go together. Yuan Fu, go and arrange for them to go on the road immediately." Xuanyuan Hancheng told Yuan Fu that Lin Dali's family is a trouble, he I don't want their family to stay in Pei County anymore.Xuanyuan Hancheng has always acted decisively, Jiabao will be in that position in the future, keeping them will definitely have an impact on Guaibao, it is better to dispose of them early.

Wang Xuebo is a scholar after all, so he knows where the border town is. This... isn't this sending their family to the border...

Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't give them a chance to refute, and got up and left without even looking at them.

After His Royal Highness left, Lin Dali and his family collapsed on the ground.Feeling that the situation was really bad, they thought of going to Lin Dazhuang and the others to intercede.It's a pity that they have all been guarded, and soon they were secretly sent away overnight.

Master Wang's family was still waiting for the good news of his promotion, and he was escorted away overnight by the people sent by His Royal Highness a few days later.

Just like that, before Lin Dazhuang's family knew about it, Lin Dali and the others had disappeared without a trace.
