Ling Wenze took Lin Zhaonuo, together with Ling Wenjin and Liang Cangqiong from the palace to Prince Cheng's mansion.

Ling Wenze and Ling Wenjin each had a carriage, Lin Zhaonuo originally wanted to ride with Ling Wenze, but Ling Wenjin wanted to ride with his third brother, so in the end it was Ling Wenze and Ling Wenjin who rode together, Lin Zhaonuo and Liang Cangqiong took the same car.

First he "got angry" with Zhiyuan, and then he "hit a wall" with Ling Wenjin, Lin Zhaonuo's expression was not good.Liang Cangqiong didn't want to say anything more to him, the two of them sat quietly in the carriage, each thinking about their own affairs.

Ling Wenze and Ling Wenjin chatted and laughed along the way, and Ling Wenjin even gave Ling Wenze a gift, saying it was to wish him a happy birthday.Ling Wenze accepted it with a smile, and was about to open it, but Ling Wenjin told him to watch it with Zhi Yuan when he returned to the palace.Ling Wenze had no choice but to agree.

Prince Cheng's Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, but it takes about ten minutes to arrive.

Entering King Cheng's mansion, looking around at the surrounding scenery, Ling Wenze clicked his tongue, and said to Ling Wenjin, "Prince Cheng is really magnificent here."

Ling Wenjin smiled at him, nodded, and didn't say much.

Lin Zhaonuo and Liang Cangqiong behind them were silent.

Ling Wenze himself knew that he shouldn't talk too much in King Cheng's mansion, so he didn't speak anymore, but compared it with the mansion of King Jia in his mind: Well, King Cheng's mansion must be much bigger than King Jia's, He is indeed the most favored son of Emperor Yong, and he is really satisfied with this.

King Cheng wore a bright red wedding dress, which made his complexion even more feminine.Looking at the smile on his face, Ling Wenze felt that this person had a bad face and must be a short-lived ghost.Thinking this way in his mind, but showing a humble attitude on his face, the four of them went to the banquet to take their seats after each of them offered their congratulatory gifts.

When being led to their seats by King Cheng's servant, both Ling Wenze and Ling Wenjin saw some deep meaning in each other's eyes.King Cheng really didn't hide his attitude towards the two of them, and the two of them were seated at the end of the courtyard.For King Cheng, in this critical period of establishing the crown prince, all officials in the court are naturally more important than the two brothers.

Ling Wenze pulled Ling Wenjin to sit next to each other between the two tables, Lin Zhaonuo naturally sat on his left, and Liang Cangqiong sat on Ling Wenjin's right.

As soon as he sat down, Ling Wenze took the jug from Ling Wenjin and Liang Cangqiong's table into his hands, and said to them, "You two are still young, so don't drink."

Ling Wenjin who was next to him smacked his lips and retorted: "Third brother, is there a age group for drinking?"

Seeing his greedy expression, Ling Wenze almost laughed out loud, but instead of answering, he said to Lin Zhaonuo, "I remember, are you full?"

Lin Zhaonuo nodded: "This year has just passed."

Ling Wenze gave him the jug confidently: "Then this jug belongs to you."

Lin Zhaonuo asked, "Why?"

Ling Wenze gave himself a hand to pour the wine, why can't he tell him that the league's rules are to drink alcohol?

"That, of course, is because in my eyes, those who are not full are children."

Lin Zhaonuo looked at him incomprehensibly: "Your Highness is only 19 years old now?"

After taking a sip of the wine, Ling Wenze felt the aroma of the wine between his lips and teeth with satisfaction. King Xin Daocheng prepared really good wine.Then he answered Lin Zhaonuo's question slowly: "I will be twenty from today."

Seeing Lin Zhaonuo's surprised expression, Ling Wenjin poured himself a cup of tea, toasted Ling Wenze and said, "Third brother, happy birthday."

Ling Wenjin had already told him happy birthday, and now this sentence was obviously meant for Lin Zhaonuo.

Ling Wenze smiled and clinked glasses with him: "Thank you, Xiao Wu."

Over there, Liang Cangqiong also made a toast to Ling Wenze with tea instead of wine.Lin Zhaonuo just sat there blankly, still not recovering from the shock of hearing the news.

Although there will be no banquets for the princes' birthdays before leaving the palace to build a mansion, the 20th birthday is still very important to the prince personally, because it means that the prince can marry his wife and leave the palace to build a mansion, and it also means that he will no longer be married. Need to read it.

In other words, starting tomorrow, Lin Zhaonuo will no longer be Ling Wenze's attendant.Suddenly, Lin Zhaonuo felt flustered, he was just ready to treat Ling Wenze well, even just now in the carriage he wanted to express his heart to Ling Wenze, but Ling Wenze no longer needed him.

Ling Wenze didn't notice Lin Zhaonuo's thoughts, but turned his back to Lin Zhaonuo, chatting passionately with Ling Wenjin and Liang Cangqiong.A lot of ministers from the imperial court came. Taking advantage of the remote location, he happened to ask Ling Wenjin and the others to learn more about the identities of the visitors.

Sitting there, Lin Zhaonuo watched the three of them talking, and felt that he was an outsider to Ling Wenze.It was really the first time for him to feel this way, as if all the praise and respect he had received over the years had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the humbleness and sadness of not being noticed or needed.

Ling Wenjin and Liang Cangqiong naturally noticed Lin Zhaonuo's expression behind Ling Wenze, and they glanced at each other without pointing it out.Ling Wenjin didn't like Lin Zhaonuo at first, so he didn't care about him because he was Prime Minister Lin's son.In the past, the relationship between Ling Wenjin and Ling Wenze was not very good, but now Ling Wenjin sincerely regards Ling Wenze as his third brother, so naturally he doesn't want to give any face to this servant who used to be arrogant to the third prince.

After the sky is completely dark, people are almost here.King Jia actually claimed that the illness did not show up in person, but only sent a congratulatory gift.Seeing this operation, Ling Wenze sighed in his heart: The conflict between the two brothers is probably intensified because of the establishment of the crown prince.

King Cheng naturally didn't care about this, he just accepted the gift with a smile, and said something like "I hope King Jia will recover soon".Although the people present sounded so gloomy, it seemed that they wished that King Jia would die soon.

In the brightly lit courtyard in front of Prince Cheng's Mansion, the bride of Fengguan Xiapei saluted King Cheng and was sent to the bridal chamber.

Ling Wenze thinks the customs here are really interesting, one doesn't worship heaven and earth, and the other doesn't worship high halls, it's just a husband and wife praying to each other and it's over, it's really simple.Even the elders in the palace did not attend the wedding banquet, but after the early court today, King Cheng took Ding Zhimei to visit the emperor, empress, concubine Shu, and concubine Jin one by one.Judging from the "Rituals" that he and Zhi Yuan copied twenty times together, it seems that many grand ceremonies in the Ling Dynasty were set for the prince and the emperor, and there were not so many other people's wedding banquets or birthday banquets. ostentation.

After the bride left the venue and everyone congratulated, the banquet began.

This is Ling Wenze's first time participating in a banquet. The last time King Jia's birthday banquet was so exciting that the third prince himself was so frightened that he was scared to death. Up to now, he can only remember the scene where Zhiyuan's right hand was cut off. up.

Now sitting at the banquet again, watching the song and dance performance in the hall, watching Cheng Wang laughing at Yan Yan on the high platform in front of the courtyard, Ling Wenze couldn't help replaying the scene at that time over and over again in his mind.

Ling Wenze himself didn't see it with his own eyes, but now——Zhi Yuan was sitting in the middle of the field and playing the broken strings of the zither, King Cheng drew his sword and walked towards Zhi Yuan step by step, the sword light flashed past Zhi Yuan's severed hand... These scenes were repeated before his eyes, He felt that he could even see the wound on Zhiyuan's right finger when the string was broken, he could see the desolate and desperate look on his face, and he could see the moment of confusion when he broke his hand.

Ling Wenze felt as if there was an awl piercing his brain, which made his temples bulge and bulge.Now he finally understood where the bitter and dull pain came from when facing Zhiyuan's severed hand in recent days, he was feeling sorry for Zhiyuan.

When he first came here, Ling Wenze was thinking more about having an experiment subject, but now he clearly realizes that Zhiyuan is completely different from his previous experiment subjects.Those were warriors who fought for human beings on the battlefield and became physically disabled, while Zhiyuan was just a humble young lady in this era, but she became a victim of King Cheng's provocation of King Jia.

The longer he spends with Zhi Yuan, the more Ling Wenze regards him as one of his own, and the more he can't let go of his severed hand.Unconsciously, he hated Cheng Wang and Jia Wang from the bottom of his heart, oh, and that wretched Chen Ziye.

Ling Wenze looked up at Chen Ziye who was closest to King Cheng in front of the courtyard. He was pushing glasses with others with a red face, and he still didn't forget to glance at the beauties dancing in the courtyard from time to time.

Cursing the evil feudal dynasty in his heart, Ling Wenze comforted himself, and when he left the palace to build a mansion, he would collect ore as soon as possible to make a robot for Zhiyuan, and then let Zhiyuan kill the scum of King Cheng with his own hands!And that Chen Ziye has to teach him a lesson!

Ling Wenjin saw Ling Wenze caressing his forehead with a ferocious expression, reached out to support his shoulder and asked, "Third brother, are you alright?"

Only then did Ling Wenze recover from his chaotic thoughts, rubbed his temples and said, "I have a bit of a headache, maybe it's because of the alcohol I drank just now."

Lin Zhaonuo glanced at the jug, and he didn't feel that this little wine was a headache at all.

However, Liang Cangqiong guessed that Ling Wenze probably left a shadow at King Jia's birthday banquet last time.He approached Ling Wenjin and whispered his thoughts to him. Ling Wenjin nodded and looked at Ling Wenze worriedly.Now that the banquet has just begun, it might not be good for Ling Wenze to leave at this time.

Seeing what Ling Wenjin meant, Ling Wenze patted his hand: "It's okay, I'll get better slowly."

Lin Zhaonuo looked at Ling Wenze, suddenly grabbed his left hand, and rubbed his thumb vigorously at his tiger's mouth.

Ling Wenze was taken aback, resisted the urge to shake Lin Zhaonuo away, and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Lin Zhaonuo glanced at him and said, "This can relieve the headache."

Ling Wenze looked at Lin Zhaonuo massaging his acupuncture points in surprise, and said with a smile, "You still understand this?"

Lin Zhaonuo didn't speak, he didn't want to tell Ling Wenze that he learned it when he saw his aunt pushing and rubbing his biological mother.

Ling Wenze withdrew his hand, "Okay, okay, I'm fine, thank you."

Lin Zhaonuo glanced at Ling Wenjin and Liang Cangqiong who were staring at him, but still didn't speak, turned around to eat and drink by himself.
