Seeing a holy monk misses life

At this time, the draft ceremony should have already begun.Sitting in the carriage, Chu Zi heard the shrill calling of the servants in the palace. At the same time, people kept passing by his carriage outside.

These people should all be young masters participating in the draft. Although he deliberately lowered his voice when passing by his carriage, Chu Zi, who has a keen hearing, still heard their conversation——

"The person sitting in the carriage is the son of the Lin family, Lin Chen. The son of the left prime minister is different. He can directly sit in the carriage and wait outside the draft hall."

"Isn't it? It's not like us. After sitting at the gate of the palace, we have to walk on the ground."

"I heard that Lin Chen ran away from home, didn't he?"

"I've heard about this too. I also heard that Lin Chen became a monk in order not to enter the palace."

"Become a monk? Doesn't that mean you shave your hair? Lin Chen really worked hard, but Lin Chen's family is not good-looking, so it's the same if you shave your head or not."

"You're right, no matter how unattractive a person is, he will definitely be chosen by His Majesty once he enters the palace with his status as the son of the Prime Minister of the Left."

"Okay, okay, don't say anything, it's our round soon."

After the footsteps moved away, the voices of jealousy or sarcasm also disappeared.

At this time, the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted by a hand.

The owner of the hand is the second master that the young servant said.

The appearance of the two masters looked very young. When they were in front of the Lin Mansion before, the other party only opened a corner of the curtain, because the other party only took a quick glance to confirm that the other party was in the carriage, so at that time, Chu Zi did not He didn't take a closer look at the second master's face.

At this moment, after the opponent's face was completely exposed in front of Chu Yu, Chu Yu took a closer look, only to find that the man's facial features were somewhat similar to Lou Yu's.

However, the outline of Lou Yu's face is more three-dimensional, and the bridge of the nose and eyes are deeper, while the face of this man tends to be softer, the lines are not so tough, and his body is much slender and thinner.

As for the identity of this man, Chu Yu guessed that the other party should be the second wife married by the head of the Lin family. However, it may not be as simple as the second wife.

Seeing Chu Zi's eyes calmly and calmly falling on him, Lou Qing's body paused slightly.His gaze lingered between Chu Zi's brows for a moment, restraining the strange feeling that flashed in his heart, and warned in a cold voice: "Lin Chen, when it's your turn later, you'd better not play any tricks." You moth."

After saying this sentence, Lou Qing lowered the curtain of the carriage without waiting for Chu Qi to answer.

I hope there will be no more trouble.

Lou Qing muttered in his heart, suppressing the sense of disobedience that Lin Chen in the carriage brought to him.

It didn't take long for the last round of Xiuzi to be selected. A total of ten people entered, and none of them was left with a badge, and all of them lost the selection without exception.

"Your Majesty is really handsome. When he looked at me just now, my heart beat so fast!"

"It's a pity that I was not selected by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty obviously doesn't intend to fill the harem. In the previous rounds, eighty people passed, and His Majesty didn't leave a single one behind."

"What kind of draft is this? Your Majesty is just following a formality. If you want me to say, it's better to just call Lin Chen into the palace and reward him, so as not to waste our time!"

"That's right, we spent a lot of time running for the election, but it turned out to be just a running companion. It's really annoying!"

These people who spoke were the same people who talked about Lin Chen when they passed the carriage not long ago.From what they said, Chu Zi probably guessed that these people were in the penultimate round, and there were ten rounds in total for concubine selection today.There are ten people in each round, a total of 100 people, and Lin Chen is in the last round.

And it seems that Lin Chen, the son of the left prime minister, has already been appointed by default.Obviously, this is a draft with a political purpose.And Lin Chen is a pawn, a link between the king and the left minister to establish a cooperative relationship.

No matter which country you are in, whether you are a man or a woman, the palace is a cage that restricts freedom, and it is no wonder that the real Lin Chen wants to escape.

Just as Chu Zi was thinking, the shrill voice of the servant in charge of the summoning sounded again——"Please invite the last round candidate, Xiuzi, to enter the palace—"

After the servant's voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by Lou Qing again: "Lin Chen, get off the horse." He called Lin Chen's name, his tone almost cold.

Chu Zi didn't speak, just glanced at the man, and then got out of the carriage.

As soon as Chu Zi got off his horse, he instantly caught the attention of the people around him.There was no other reason, he was the only one sitting in the carriage outside the entire draft hall.

The men who failed in the last round looked at Lin Chen in white monk's robe, and for some reason, they found it inexplicably attractive.Compared with their exquisite attire, Lin Chen in plain white socks has an indescribable elegance of his own.

The sunlight poured down from the red wall and tiles, as if casting a layer of warm light gold on the man's white monk robe.His eyes were calm, and his dark pupils seemed to be full of stars.It was a relatively ordinary face, but it was inexplicably attractive.

This... is Lin Chen?

Among these men, one or two have met Lin Chen himself, and had a few brief encounters with Lin Chen.But in the past, they never thought that Lin Chen was good-looking, and they even always thought that among all the distinguished nobles, Lin Chen's face was so mediocre that it was inconspicuous.

But at this moment, looking at Lin Chen who got off the carriage, they were a little uncertain.Generally speaking, a person without hair will only look uglier than when he has hair, but why does Lin Chen feel more pleasing to the eye when he shaved his head and put on a monk's robe?

"Is this Lin Chen?" The man who had never seen Lin Chen before couldn't help asking.

"Yes." The man who had seen Lin Chen replied, with a hint of hesitation in his tone that he didn't even notice.

Not just these men, even Lou Qing, who had been with Lin Chen for five years, felt a little uncertain after seeing Lin Chen's back standing in front of him.

The face is indeed Lin Chen's face, but the temperament is too different.

But if this person is not Lin Chen, who is it?

Where did the real Lin Chen go?

The more Lou Qing thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his expression became more and more condensed.Right now, he recalled the look in his eyes when this man got off the horse just now, that kind of calm and cold eyes, it was strange, gentle and alienated, and it was absolutely impossible for Lin Chen to have it.

He also understood Lin Chen's temperament. Although he is very smart, he will never be so calm, and there will never be that kind of indifference in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Lou Qing frowned suddenly, and he stepped forward a few steps: "You don't..."

However, before Lou Qing finished speaking, the summoner signaled them with his eyes to let Lin Chen enter the palace quickly. At the end, he specially said: "Please also ask Lin Chen, the son of the left prime minister, to follow quickly, Mo Let Your Majesty wait for a long time."

Now, Lou Qing had no choice but to temporarily swallow the remaining words into his mouth.Later, when Chu Yu followed the nine men in front, Lou Qing looked at Chu Yu's tall and straight back, her delicate brows frowned even tighter, and a hint of thought appeared in her eyes.

It seems that he needs to go back as soon as possible and ask Xiao Qi how this boy found Lin Chen.

Inside the hall.

Resplendent and resplendent, the vermilion dome columns are carved with dragon patterns, and the walls are printed with gilt copper leaf reliefs.

A young man in a black robe sits on the dragon chair at the top. His black hair is neatly tied with a gold silk jade crown. He has a handsome face and bright eyebrows.The sitting posture is correct but not rigid, on the contrary, it reveals a kind of elegance and free and easy, quite a sense of grace and coolness.

His eyes are gentle, and there is a slight smile on the corner of his lips, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a kind of awe-inspiring domineering and majesty that belongs to the emperor.

He lowered his dark eyes halfway, glanced over the ten men who walked in, and finally landed on Chu Qi who was walking at the back.

As early as a quarter of an hour ago, Lian Huaiyu received the letter from Prime Minister Zuo.The letter stated that Lin Chen had shaved his hair and became a monk, but he had already boarded the carriage to enter the palace, and Lou Qing would personally lead the team, so there would be no further mistakes.

Even Huaiyu had met Lin Chen when she was a child, and had some impressions of Lin Chen. The Lin Chen in her memory was a man with a very ordinary face.The appearance is ordinary, and this time he shaved his hair again, so it must not be easy to see where he is going.

Lian Huaiyu didn't care much about this. Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is in turmoil, and the faction of the Right Prime Minister is about to make a move, the matter is almost on the surface.

He wants to win over the left prime minister and let the two prime ministers check and balance each other in the court. As the son of the left prime minister, Lin Chen can accept no matter what happens.

Even Huaiyu had already made preparations in her heart.

However, when his eyes touched the last Lin Chen who was wearing a monk's robe, he was very surprised to find that although Lin Chen's appearance was not very good-looking, standing there so quietly was inexplicably attracted to him. attention.

Especially when meeting Lin Chen's eyes, Lian Huaiyu subconsciously ignored that too ordinary appearance.

Long body jade, bright and quiet as jade.

Lian Huaiyu immediately thought of these words.

The corners of his lips could not help evoking a slight arc. Although Lin Chen, the son of the left prime minister, no matter how beautiful or ugly he will make him his noble king, he will treat him as well as possible and give him what he deserves. Respect and guard.But if the other party has a kind of attractiveness that makes him feel pleasing, then for Julien Huaiyu, it is naturally the icing on the cake.

After all, everyone will pursue beautiful people and things.

Looking down at Lin Chen who was much better than he expected, Lian Huaiyu felt a subtle joy in his heart.Thinking that this person will be with him for a long time, Lian Huaiyu raised his eyebrows lightly, looking forward to the future relationship between the two.

In the end, there was no doubt that Chu Zi, who was bearing the identity of Lin Chen, was left behind, while the others all went back the same way.

Just when Lian Huaiyu was about to ask the waiter to take Chu Zi to the side hall first, Chu Zi who had been silent all the time said, "Your Majesty, I am not Lin Chen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Lian Huaiyu, who was sitting in the highest position, pursed her thin lips slightly, looked at Chu Qi and said, "Aren't you Lin Chen?"
