I am His Majesty's favorite

The warm sun has been shining for two consecutive days.

The gate of Chiqing Palace was locked, except for the small kitchen which was a little lively before meals, the rest of the time was quiet.

Huanyue saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was unusually stable, and was always bored on the swing, flipping through books, so he tried to research some new gadgets to cheer him up.

Mu Chen was troubled and helpless, and spent a lot of time learning stone chess.But three kills made him full of grievances, and he went to find Feng Yang after talking about it.

Frankly speaking, he actually enjoyed such a quiet moment without being disturbed.

In the past in Huaibei, as the prince, the homework was quite heavy.Poetry and songs, governing the economy, and the art of imperial court are almost all required to be proficient.

Even the royal horse riding and archery, which is regarded as a hobby by other noble children, successfully became a teacher under the personal guidance of the old monarch.

Like this, there is no need to attend various banquets, meet important ministers of the tributary country, and just eat, drink, enjoy flowers and tea every day.

In contrast, he almost wanted to pour copper juice on the gate of Chiqing Palace again.

As the saying goes, the emperor does not rush the eunuchs.

Apparently his two little attendants carried this sentence through to the end.

He even drew up a plan to dig out another door in the backyard. If Mu Chen hadn't discovered it in time, there would be more than a deep hole in the courtyard wall.

The explanation of the mastermind Huanyue is: "The gate of the palace is closed, how can His Majesty come in?"

The second time, Feng Yang expressed his second opinion.

Mu Chi laughed: "What does it matter if Lin Heng comes or not?"

Huan Yue pursed her lips, her face was full of sorrow. "I heard that concubines who fall out of favor often have a bleak ending."

These words made His Royal Highness spit out the mouthful of fragrant tea that the Prince had just swallowed. "Concubine? Me?"

Huanyue regards him as an honorable man and as a man, he is naturally ashamed to be compared with women, and it is even more difficult to mention the matter of coming to Nanchang to serve the king.

His Royal Highness Prince Baobuqi was furious, and he had a miserable ending.

It was only then that Mu Zhen remembered the "heartfelt words" his son said earlier, which offended His Majesty, and he was afraid that he would suffer.

That's what it means.

He couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said: "Do you think that before Lin Heng carried me back that day, he was lucky for me in the Palace of Eternal Brightness?"

Huan Yue and Feng Yang looked at each other, and they were silent.

It's no wonder they're making wild guesses.

When Mu Chi came back that day, his expression was in a daze, his face was flushed, and he was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes.

On the other hand, the monarch, not only is not as cold as usual, but there is a little smile on the corner of his lips, which is obviously the state after the spring breeze.

What's more, the gate of Chiqing Palace was blocked by Mu Chen himself, and His Majesty the Emperor never issued a single sentence to restrain his feet from the beginning to the end.

The fruits, vegetables and exquisite snacks in the small kitchen, which one is not completely top-grade, many ordinary people have never even seen it.

Most importantly.

You can have a separate small kitchen in the palace, which is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by at least the concubine.

Mu Chen felt a little pain in his head.

Still a little numb.

He had no doubt that if the two servants were not stopped from imagining in time, Huanyue and Fengyang would start preparing for Lin Heng's concubine's decree from tomorrow.

A cup of fragrant tea is finished.

His Royal Highness decided to end the matter in a concise manner.

"I did go to the Changming Palace that day."

"It's true that I lay on Lin Heng's bed."

"But he didn't touch me."

"How should I put it, your monarch...it won't work there."

Lin Heng: Gufeng Review was murdered?

Mu Xi was very interested in spreading rumors in Chiqing Palace, but the person involved was not so leisurely.

Lin Heng sat at the desk for a full three hours from the end of morning until he missed lunch.

The cinnabar red ink stick that Zhu Pi used was almost used up, and his dignified expression eased a little.

The so-called easing, in Lian Xizhuo's view, is just no longer frowning, and becoming the normal state of indifference.

"Perhaps the situation is not as serious as you guessed, otherwise there would have been turmoil among the nations."

Lin Heng didn't answer, but said softly: "It's a careless one. Xichuan surrendered three years ago and became a vassal state of Nanchang. I thought that after the First World War that year, the fundamentals were shaken, but I didn't expect that the heart of rebellion would regenerate so soon."

Since ancient times, wars between countries have been nothing more than expanding territory and recovering lost land. Many small countries have conquered for three or five cities in succession, lost and beaten until their people died tragically and completely perished.

Xichuan is located in the northwest of Nanyang. Although it is a wilderness and Liaoyuan, the land does not grow anything, and the sky is full of yellow sand in four seasons.Fortunately, there is still the Hetao area to rely on, and it has survived until now.

Lin Heng also saw the vastness of Xichuan, coupled with the faintness of Xichuan's monarch, barely supported the national strength by relying on less than [-] guerrilla soldiers to rob the border people of rice and noodles.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to raise troops to attack, and assigned the territory in the northwest to Nanchong.Funds were also allocated locally for reconstruction, greatly strengthening the border defense forces.

In comparison, the Dongwei Dynasty in the southeast is much more difficult to deal with. At least the monarch is more courageous than the old man Xichuan.

After becoming a vassal state, she frankly admits that she is intimidated, and stays in the only remaining imperial city in Dongwei, keeping her own place and never overstepping the threshold.

Half a year ago, the frontier defenders had handed over a memorial saying that the Xichuan army was active, fearing that there might be a big move, so Lin Heng sent another general, Ling Yuan, to investigate.

Those nomads had suffered from Nan Chan's loss, and they knew that they would not be able to win by going head-to-head.He took advantage of the geographical advantage to dodge around, drilled deep into the river loop, and did not show up for ten days and a half month.

Seeing that they were all rushing away with their heads in their arms, Ling Yuan expected that nothing would happen, so he returned to the court and returned to order to let His Majesty not worry too much.

Unexpectedly, the abnormal movement lasted for half a year, until it became more rampant in recent months, Ling Yuan took the initiative to make amends and invited Ying to calm down.

Probably in order to save face, he took five thousand cavalrymen and chased them all the way from the border to the center of Hetao.

Finally lived up to expectations and fell into the trap.

Lin Heng had no choice but to ask Ji Huaichen to go to the rescue immediately, and brought his little uncle into the tent by the way.

Lian Xizhuo's vision is vicious, and his mind is clearer than others.As long as you don't get into a fight with General Ji, you can take up the position of military adviser.

as predicted.

If Xi Chuan is alone in provoking quarrels and finding it unhappy, it will be easy to solve.

But what really worried His Majesty the Emperor was the news that Lian Xizhuo said.

The monarch of Huaibei was seriously ill.

The court may change.

Knowing that he could not be hostile to Nan Chan, Xi Chuan still raised his troops and besieged Ling Yuan but did not kill him on the spot, as if he was waiting for Lin Heng to dispatch reinforcements.

Suppose the king of Huaibei is seriously ill.

What Nishikawa did...

It is to tune the tiger away from the mountain.

The purpose is to let Lin Heng focus on the border turmoil and have no time to take care of the sixteen prefectures of Huaibei.

Clever as Lian Xizhuo, he had already vaguely guessed the news when he heard the news.

Seeing Lin Heng thoughtful at this moment, he teased lazily: "If I were you, I would immediately accompany Mu Chi back to Huaibei to visit my father-in-law. Maybe his old man will recover from his illness when he sees his good son-in-law being so filial."

His Majesty the Emperor clicked his tongue impatiently.

In the current situation, the Huaibei court must be a mess.

Even if Mu Chen went back to preside over the overall situation, it would be useless. Could it be that those who caused the mischief would still be afraid of his status as the prince?

But good son-in-law...

what.

Why is it somehow pleasant to hear?

Lin Heng thought for a moment, then suddenly asked seriously: "Where did you hear the news that the King of Huaibei is seriously ill?"

Lian Xizhuo blurted out: "Where else can I come from, brothels."

Lian University has always boasted of being a romantic and talented man, and his remarks that "there is no grass anywhere in the world, let's find one if it doesn't work" spread all over the wide streets and narrow alleys of Nantong.

Up to the noble and charming princess of the neighboring country, down to the alpine and elegant accompanying singer.

That's all.

If one day Lian Xizhuo was seriously ill and was about to die, and a stunning girl passed by, he would be able to catch up on the spot and hurry up to have a chat with her.

Therefore, Lin Heng was not at all surprised when he heard the news in the brothel.

And one thing to say, if you want to elicit valuable information, you have to be in a place where fish and dragons are mixed.

Lianxi understood the meaning of the words, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if it's not [-]% sure, it's still [-]% sure. In your opinion, do we have to guard against Xichuan's incident?"

"No need." Lin Heng shook his head. "All the reckless people, let Huaichen beat him up a few more times. What Gu cares more about is the one who conspired with him."

It is true that with Xichuan's strength, at best, he can only stir up troubles on the border and play a role in involving Nan Chan.To really succeed, someone must cooperate from inside to outside.

The words have ended.

Lian Xizhuo saw that Lin Heng had plans in mind, so he stopped talking.

After telling him a few words to make him remember to eat and have a good rest, he went out of the palace in a sedan chair to have some fun.

After Mu Zhizi and Huan Yue Fengyang revealed the private affairs of the monarch, they heard no less than [-] sighs and sighs in one day.

Its content includes the sincere pity of the two servants for His Majesty the Emperor, and their disdain for the poor health and the need for someone to serve the Emperor.

The situation finally developed to the point where Mu Chen persuaded them to open up.

Lin Heng: You don't have to.

In a trance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also couldn't help but wonder, Lin Heng is so pure-hearted and ascetic, can't it... really not work?

Uh ~

No wonder he was so clueless.

He has not had a single concubine in the three years since he ascended the throne.

This is something that a normal man with full blood can do.

In any case, they used to get along pretty well, and when they came to Nanchang, they also took care of them with food and drink.

The sympathetic His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clicked his tongue loudly, and made up his mind to work hard for Nan Cong's successor.

Huan Yue was holding the stone and was about to attack the city, when she saw Mu Xi going out from the corner of her eye, she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

The called leg had already stepped out of the threshold, and only half of the long satin was floating in the room.

"Go and be faithful."
