"Is it not good for you that the eldest prince supervises the country?" When Lin Jinwen was thinking about the situation in front of him, Gu Qinglin suddenly asked.

Lin Jinwen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Why do you say that?"

"Feeling." Gu Qinglin said: "Although you have no expression on your face and your tone is relaxed enough, I just feel that you are not as relaxed as before, and you are very tense. After thinking about it, you are the eldest prince supervising the country. It’s more disturbing than that.”

He said this very slowly but seriously, Lin Jinwen was surprised: "I didn't expect Qinglin to study my emotions so carefully. Are you worried about me all the time?"

Ever since the relationship between the two got closer, Gu Qinglin was largely immune to Lin Jinwen's petty verbal teasing.Besides, anyone can say what they say, so Gu Qinglin responded calmly: "Of course I care about you."

Lin Jinwen's heart skipped a beat, he stepped forward to hold Gu Qinglin's hand, feeling the person's body temperature.He has become a habit of being alone, and he did not expect that in this inexplicable dynasty, someone would express concern for him.

Since he was a child, he believed that his luck would not always be bad, and it was even more so now.

Lin Jinwen grabbed Gu Qinglin's hand and played with it for a few times, then suddenly kissed him softly before saying softly: "Don't worry, I can't control whether the eldest prince is in prison or not, but I am the one who follows the emperor. Even if the eldest prince is in prison and the emperor is here, he won't do me any harm. I was just thinking about my father's words. I didn't tell him about the emperor's relentless desire to establish a prince. Now he must have mentioned it from the Wen family. I know. The Wen family probably felt that they didn't meet their expectations, so they got angry and took some anger at my father. Forget about these things, anyway, they can't take their anger on me."

Gu Qinglin felt that Lin Jinwen's hand was hot, spreading from the back of his hand to his arms, and then deep into his lungs, making his heart feel hot.

He was a little afraid to look at Lin Jinwen's face, so he couldn't help but staggered his eyes and hummed.

Seeing Gu Qinglin's appearance, Lin Jinwen smiled.

The next day after Lin Jinwen went to court, Gu Qinglin also got up, and after he had breakfast in the room, he ordered Yuzhu to go to Wen's house.His question was interrupted by Lin Jinwen yesterday, but Gu Qinglin is not so easy to fool.

He didn't have to know what Lin Jinwen didn't want him to know.But the eldest prince is in charge of the country. This is a rare happy event. He had provided news to the Wen family earlier, so he should congratulate him no matter what.

Gu Qinglin's treatment when he went to Wen's house this time was much better than the last time he and Lin Jinwen came. The concierge saw him with a smile on his face.

Gu Qinglin was calm about these things, he only brought Polygonatum odoratum and Panax notoginseng this time, Yuntao and Shuisu stayed at Lin's house.

When Gu Qing came to Mrs. Wen's yard, Mrs. Wen was being amused by Mrs. Wang, and Wen Yi, Wen Fang and Wen Yuan were also there.Seeing Gu Qinglin coming, the smile in Mrs. Wen's eyes deepened. She greeted Gu Qinglin to sit beside her, half complaining and half happy, and said: "You are heavy, you should take good care of it at home, why are you running around? .When your month is stable, come see me again."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Mother just said that she misses Qinglin, but when this person arrives, mother is worried again."

"You're the only one who talks too much." Mrs. Wen said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang was also happy, she said: "Mother, it's not like you don't know, I can't hide my words in my heart, but I'm also happy to see Qinglin, so I just say more."

After calling for someone, Gu Qinglin looked at Mrs. Wen and said softly, "Grandmother, my health is fine, and it's boring to be alone in the room. The Wen family and the Lin family are not far away, so it's reasonable to come to see my grandmother .”

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "You still need to pay more attention to your body."

Gu Qinglin responded, and the smile on Wen Yi's face faded a little after Gu Qinglin arrived. Wen Fang looked at Gu Qinglin and then at Wen Yi, but she didn't dare to express too much emotion. Yuan kept his head down, trying to reduce his sense of existence, and it was easy for people to ignore him.

At this time, Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Wen and then at Gu Qinglin and said: "Qinglin must know, the eldest prince will supervise the country for the emperor from today. This matter has been widely spread, even us Everyone in the inner house who is not in the court has heard about it."

Wen Yi looked at Wang Shijiao and said with a smile: "Mother, how could Cousin Gu not have heard that Elder Brother Lin is working by the emperor's side?" Wen Yi was in a weird mood when she said this.Originally thought that Gu Qinglin had found a poor family, but in the blink of an eye, this poor family would turn into the most favored person around the emperor.Not to mention how Gu Qinglin is doing in private, on the surface his status has risen with the tide.

If Wen Yi's heart is weird, then Wen Fang's teeth are sore, she said: "Then Cousin Gu must know." Wen Yuan moved his body, but did not say anything.

Gu Qinglin looked at Wen Yi and Wen Fang singing together like this, as if she was going to think that he was not doing well.

Gu Qinglin smiled slightly and said: "Yesterday, my husband was resting at home, so I didn't know about it. But my father called him over as soon as he came down from court. After returning to his room, my husband told me that the eldest prince is in charge of the country."

Gu Qinglin's words not only said that he and Lin Jinwen had a good relationship, but also specifically pointed out that Lin Jinwen was called over by Lin Songren after he was brought down.When Lin Jinwen told him about the emperor's intention to appoint a crown prince, he asked Lin Jinwen if he wanted to tell Lin Songren.

Lin Jinwen denied it at the time, so no matter where this matter is, it won't help.

Wen Yi wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Wen glanced at her, and Wen Yi stopped talking.

Old Mrs. Wen said calmly: "My old lady's ear hurts from your noise. Let's all go back. Qinglin and I will talk alone."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang stood up and left with Wen Yi, Wen Fang and Wen Yuan with different expressions.

After everyone left, Mrs. Wen patted Gu Qinglin's hand and said, "It's clean now."

Gu Qinglin lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm causing trouble for grandma."

"What's the trouble with this? You are brothers and sisters. When you were young, you would fight over little things. When you grow up, you will understand that you are still a family, and you still need to help each other to stand firm." Mrs. Wen said kindly said

Gu Qinglin hummed and nodded.

Mrs. Wen looked at him and said: "I heard that Lin Jinwen treats you well now. If you have anything to say, tell your grandmother. Your grandmother will never let you suffer any grievances in the Lin family."

Gu Qinglin raised his eyes and said: "Grandmother knows that Lin Jinwen is quite straightforward, and he will speak bluntly when he has anything to say, and sometimes he doesn't care about other people's feelings when he speaks. Take the last time as an example, I only found out about it yesterday. He didn't mention that to his father. My father asked him about it last night. After he went back, he was still puzzled, saying that such a trivial matter was worth his father's anger. Grandma, I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that my father will treat me I have an opinion. After all, my father still values ​​me very much in the Lin family, and Lin Jinwen sometimes listens to my father's teachings."

Gu Qinglin's words imply that I heard the news from the Lin family and told the Wen family, but the Wen family didn't consider my position at all when dealing with this matter.Lin Jinwen didn't like him in the first place, but Lin Songren was fair, but now it's all right, making my status in the Lin family very awkward.If Lin Songren felt suspicious of him because of this, and had a problem with him, then his situation would be even worse.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but tighten Gu Qinglin's hand.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Gu Qinglin said calmly: "Grandma, don't worry, just like what you said just now, relatives are always relatives, and only by helping each other can we stand firm in the future, I understand."

Mrs. Wen's mouth moved, and after a long time she said, "Don't worry Qinglin, with me here, the Lin family will never dare to bully you."

Gu Qinglin smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma."

When Gu Qinglin was talking about these things at Wen's house, Lin Jinwen was standing beside the emperor, and Zhou Rui, the eldest prince who supervised the country on the first day, was paying his respects to the emperor.

Although Zhou Rui lost some things because of his non-perseverance yesterday, he was still very energetic.After all, it is rare to have the opportunity to stand upright in the hall and accept the baptism of everyone's eyes. This is like a rehearsal before enthroning as the emperor. Lin Jinwen can understand Zhou Rui's mood.

Probably because his eyes staring at Zhou Rui were too straightforward, the emperor squinted at him and said, "What are you looking at, this expression. He is the eldest prince Zhou Rui, you two don't know each other after seeing him for a few days?"

Lin Jinwen said with a doggy face: "Your Majesty, isn't this the Eldest Prince's supervision of the country? I just feel that it is very fast, and it can be regarded as unpredictable. A few days ago, I heard that the Emperor intends to let the First Prince supervise the country. I said that I was thinking of setting up a crown prince, but I didn't expect that the eldest prince would be in charge of the country in just one day. Yesterday, the humble father was still scolding the humble, saying that he knew that the emperor wanted to establish a prince, so why didn't he say anything? It's really too tiring, First Prince, don't be angry."

Before Zhou Rui stood in front of the emperor, he was choked by Lin Jinwen's words before his face turned red.Lin Jinwen's fawning expression was aimed at him at first glance, but his words were piercingly harsh.What does it mean that Lin Songren scolded him silently.For a moment Zhou Rui wanted to cover Lin Jinwen's mouth with his hands, and couldn't even think of what expression to use to face the emperor.

Zhou Rui had never seen such a stupid person. He didn't know what he was pretending to be. Didn't Lin Songren teach him not to talk nonsense in front of the emperor?The emperor didn't know what to think of his plain words, Lin Jinwen was trying to trick people to death.

The emperor was practicing calligraphy, when Lin Jinwen murmured, his pen was crooked, and the calligraphy was completely abandoned.The emperor threw the pen on the imperial case, took the thin towel handed over by Wang Jin'an and wiped his hands, then he looked at Lin Jinwen with a half-smile and said, "Tell the outside world what I say, and you won't be afraid that I will punish you for your crimes." ?”

"Can't you say it?" Lin Jinwen's dog-legged expression still showed a hint of shock, and he was extraordinarily entangled to show his loyalty: "I remember it, but don't worry, my majesty, I didn't say anything about it, even the humble one Father doesn't even know."

The emperor smiled, and said, "Your father doesn't know, so why would he ask you about this?"

Lin Jinwen was surprised and confused: "That's true, how did my humble father know."

The emperor threw the thin scarf heavily on the ground, and whispered slowly to Zhou Rui, who had lost his vigor and was completely like an eggplant beaten by frost: "The eldest prince is late for the first day of supervising the country, what time is wasting here with me?" , go down."

After hearing this, Zhou Rui not only didn't leave, but also knelt down on the ground with a soft thump: "Father..."

"Look at your potential, get out." The emperor said to Zhou Rui with a look of contempt.

Zhou Rui hurriedly backed away.

The emperor closed his eyes, only feeling irritated, Zhou Rui was really out of control this week.If he heard this, he would definitely not change his expression and his heart would not beat. The way he looked just now was a guilty conscience.

So what if Lin Jinwen missed the words that he wanted to establish a crown prince, if Zhou Rui had a more stable mind, he would definitely know if he didn't know, and if he didn't know, he wouldn't know.Wen Xiang is responsible for the rest, and Lin Songren is taking care of it, why is he flustered.

He really didn't have the air of an emperor at all, the emperor gave the eldest prince such a name in his heart.

As for Lin Jinwen, he really dared to say anything.Thinking of this, the emperor raised his eyes to look at Lin Jinwen.Lin Jinwen's face was blank, but he must have sensed that the atmosphere in the hall was too solemn, so he stood there with his lips pursed and dared not speak.

The emperor looked at his pitiful appearance, and thought that he already knew what kind of person Lin Jinwen was, so he shouldn't be angry about it.The emperor said with a tired face: "Jin Wen, let Xiao Ru come back."

It was originally the job of the inner eunuch to pass on to others, but now the emperor felt overwhelmed when he saw Lin Jinwen, so he had to send him to go.

Lin Jinwen hurriedly left, and after he left, Wang Jin'an shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Lin Jinwen walked out of the main hall, feeling happy.

It is a tense moment in the palace now, and he is the most special existence.All eyes are on him, but competing with each other.Yesterday when Lin Songren came to talk to him, he suddenly thought that if someone deliberately shifted the eyes of the eldest prince and the forces behind him to him, then he would be in great trouble.

You see, he was the one who said to establish a crown prince, but the emperor did not appoint a crown prince, and let the eldest prince directly supervise the country.The Wen family and the eldest prince would definitely suspect that the news he conveyed was wrong, that's why Prime Minister Wen bluntly tested Lin Songren yesterday.

His identity is unknown now. Although the emperor did not reveal it, everyone guessed that he was the emperor's illegitimate son. This is true.If someone deliberately guides and makes the eldest prince and Wen Wen feel that he is a capable person, the emperor intends to cultivate him.No matter how successful his performance is, it's useless, flaws will be revealed inadvertently, so the princes must get rid of him before fighting.

He tried his best to keep a low profile, he just wanted to live, so what he said today seemed so thoughtless that he offended everyone, but it was very safe.At least the eyes of the few princes will not be on such a mindless person.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinwen sighed deeply in his heart, if someone wants him to take the blame, then he will break the bottom of the blame first, he is not a person who stands up and gets slapped in the face.

It's just that Lin Jinwen knew very well in his heart that he relied on the emperor for everything he did now, but the emperor was already old, and even if the emperor was not old, he might withdraw his favor from him at some point.He is now standing on a piece of driftwood, surrounded by whirlpools, he may fall into it at any time and be swallowed up.

Lin Jinwen understands that real power is needed to protect his own safety, but this real power is the most difficult to handle, and it needs the right time, place and people.

While Lin Jinwen was thinking about his future, Zhou Rui's first day in prison began when he was distracted frequently.There are many supporters of him in the court, and they will not be embarrassed by Zhou Rui's arrival, while others are in a wait-and-see state, and will not look for trouble on the first day.

It was as if the two sides had temporarily reached an agreement to live in peace, very harmonious and relaxed.

Of course, Mrs. Wen has a sharp eye, and soon discovered that Zhou Rui was very distracted.Fortunately, Mrs. Wen is an old fox, he quickly found an excuse to avoid the courtiers and talk to Zhou Rui alone.

When Zhou Rui saw old Mrs. Wen, it was as if he had seen the backbone. His face showed panic and he said, "Mr. Wen, save me."

Old Mr. Wen was startled and said: "The eldest prince has something to say slowly, don't panic, what happened?"

Zhou Rui settled down, and after talking about his gaffe in front of the emperor, he concluded with a bitter face: "President Wen, Lin Jinwen is loyal to his father at best, but stupid and poisonous at worst. You Anyone with a long brain who said this would know that they should not speak in front of the father. Fortunately, he not only said it, but also implicated me in it. The father knows the gentleness of the character best, and he will not tolerate others. Means, what is he thinking in his mind now, whether I can keep my name as the First Prince is another matter."

Old Mrs. Wen looked at Zhou Rui who said others were stupid, and thought, you still have the face to say others, don't you yourself be stupid.

After Zhou Ruixu finished talking, he looked at old Mrs. Wen and said, "President Wen, what do you think about this matter?"

If Zhou Rui wasn't Mrs. Wen's son-in-law, he would turn around and leave.At this moment, he could only say patiently: "Prince, the matter has come to this point, panic cannot solve the matter, you should calm down first."

Zhou Rui said with a bitter face: "Wen Xiang, I also want to calm down, but these words are so light, I just can't calm down."

Old Mrs. Wen said in a deep voice: "If the eldest prince could calm down when the emperor asked, then the matter could be blamed on the Lin family and his son. This has nothing to do with us. Even if the emperor had doubts in his heart, Lin Songren would not dare Turn things on us."

"President Wen." Zhou Rui interrupted him and said, "Don't say that it has nothing to do with us. Lin Songren dare not mention it, but I'm afraid of his son's words. I'm sure I'll use Lin Jinwen's idiot to cover my head "If the emperor dares to punish his father, he dares to turn the palace upside down. In the future, we will have less contact with the Lin family and his son, it will be too bad."

Old Mrs. Wen's heart choked because of these words. He pretended not to hear Zhou Rui's words and continued: "Now that you show your timidity in front of the emperor, things will be complicated. The emperor always hates others to inquire about his side. This punishes me and him." Lin Songren can't be avoided. But the emperor didn't implicate you, which is a good thing."

"A good thing?" Zhou Rui didn't understand, Old Master Wen said: "The emperor didn't blame you when you obviously knew the truth, isn't it a good thing?"

Seeing that Zhou Rui still didn't understand, Old Master Wen just wanted to sigh, hating that he was blind and chose Zhou Rui as his son-in-law.Of course, this is also a matter of choice.

Old Mrs. Wen tried his best to be kind and said: "Don't you know what kind of temperament the emperor is? The emperor has never tolerated a little sand in his eyes. This time the emperor didn't blame you, it proves that he doesn't want the elder prince to bear this crime. Elder prince, you now You are in prison again, the emperor is probably trying to train you on purpose."

When he talked about his future, Zhou Rui reacted very quickly. He looked surprised and didn't know what to do. He said, "What does Prime Minister Wen mean to say that Father is investigating me?"

Old Mrs. Wen nodded and said: "So during the period when the eldest prince is in charge of the country, he must remain calm in doing business. If the eldest prince can satisfy the emperor during this period, then why worry about the future."

Zhou Rui nodded with a dazed expression on his face, and then he asked with some hesitation: "Mr. Wen, should we take this opportunity to arrange our own people?"

Old Mrs. Wen's expression was indifferent: "Eldest Prince, what should be arranged still needs to be arranged. This is a rare opportunity. But the emperor must have observed you very carefully, Eldest Prince, first calm down and don't take it lightly."
