Chapter 17

Chapter XVII: Frontier Affairs

The weather in June is always very hot, and the palace is made of mountains of saltpeter, and the ice cubes that come out of zuò are not enough.

The prince wiped his sweat while hurriedly walking towards the palace, behind him, two little eunuchs holding a food box with water droplets, were hurriedly following behind him, holding the food box faintly There was a few traces of white gas lingering, as if something was chilled.

As soon as the prince entered the door, he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting at the desk to deal with official business, although the previous Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not a lazy person, but the current Royal Highness was really different from the previous one.

Not only is the means more sleek, but even the ability to please His Majesty has risen again and again, no, he is not going to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a reward. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past was also very fond of His Majesty, but now His Majesty is spoiling the Prince to the tip of his heart.

When the prince saw the prince looking at him, he gave a flattering smile in time, for fear that Lin Su would think that he was disrespectful to him.

"Your Royal Highness, this is a sweet gourd offered by the Western Regions, the taste is slightly sweet, and the food is shengjin, Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has had some bitter summer recently, so he specially asked the old slave to take some over. ”

But no, this thing came from the Western Regions, and it was a long way away. It's just that this thing is a holy relic for relieving the heat, and the palace didn't even get much from the queen's mother, and the rest was all sent to the palace by His Majesty.

"The prince of Lao sent it. Lin Su smiled, not very surprised to see him. After all, the rewards of the palace in these days have flowed into me like flowing water.

Not to mention inside the palace, even outside the palace there are a lot of rumors, if it weren't for the emperor in the prime of life and strong body, the ministers of the court and the central government would definitely think that His Majesty's favor was to pave the way for the prince.

Of course, there are many people who have this kind of idea now, and the prince happens to be one of them.

This eunuch has not ended well since ancient times, and the reason is that he has won the favor of one emperor, but he cannot please the next emperor. It is often used as a sacrifice by the next emperor, and is sacrificed to civil officials or Jiangshan Sheji, and the power of horizontal and vertical eunuchs comes from the emperor, and it is easy to take it back. It is the 9,000-year-old power in history, isn't it just that the new emperor fell and scattered in the blink of an eye......

is an honest shrunken one, never competing for power and profit with others, and just staying in the imperial tomb for the rest of his life.

The prince naturally didn't want to fall into such a fate, and he was naturally attentive to Lin Su, who was on the tip of His Majesty's heart.

"What did His Royal Highness say about hard work, it really broke the old slave...... "Wang Gonggong smiled, reached out and took the food box in the hand of the little eunuch behind him, and Gonggong Liu, who was beside Lin Su, hurriedly came over to take over.

Wang Gonggong looked at this Liu Gonggong, whose status was far inferior to his own, and he still greeted people with a smile, and he didn't feel that he was so kind at all.

Gonggong Liu's heart trembled, he was not His Royal Highness the Prince, he could accept this without pressure, seeing the smile of the prince, his feet also trembled, and he hurriedly took the things in the hands of the prince.

Seeing that someone took over the things in his hand, the prince didn't have much to stay, and it was a pity that he couldn't say anything more to the prince, so he said: "Before Your Majesty comes, let the old slave ask His Royal Highness the Prince, this October is His Majesty's birthday, and I don't know if His Royal Highness's congratulatory gifts are ready?"

cough cough~ Gonggong Liu lowered his head and pouted, His Majesty Xià This is a congratulatory gift with His Royal Highness the Prince......? The words are so straightforward, so that Father-in-law Liu, who has been in the palace for more than ten years, is also a little confused.

…… Is there such a lack of things as a 陛xià??

Speaking of this, the prince was also a little confused, let alone others.

The smile on Lin Su's face deepened, but he didn't say anything, just said: "The annoying prince announced that the father and emperor will definitely be prepared on that day, and the father will be satisfied by then." ”

The prince smiled, and when he saw Lin Su reply, he said a few words and said goodbye. Of course, what Lin Su said, he will definitely bring it back word for word.

Lin Su looked at the back of the princess, remembering that his father was in such a hurry now, he felt a bitter smile, but he didn't expect his father to have such a time sometimes.

Gonggong Liu stood behind Lin Su respectfully and sent some letters to Lin Su's desk.
