Hearing that Lin Ziyan was about to marry Zhong Fu, Yuan Tingyi was extremely angry, and immediately sent someone to call Lin Jianzhi, accusing his son of insisting on not listening to her and Yuan Muhuai's advice, and marrying Ling Xinmei, the daughter of Ling Xiufu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as a concubine.

Lin Jianzhi patiently listened to Yuan Tingyi's complaints, and returned to the prince's mansion with a black face, just as a group of Taoist priests in the apse were doing things for the late Lu Yurong and the unborn child, and his ears were full of buzzing chanting, Lin Jian's heart became more and more irritable, and he simply walked into the Qingqiu Courtyard and drank alone under the pavilion.

Seeing this, the servants and maids were worried one by one, concentrating and holding their breath, lest they would be killed, so they could only observe the forest stream secretly for a moment, and slowly paced out from behind the eaves.

"Prince. "Wuxiang bowed down at the foot of the stone steps.

"How's the injury on the arm?" Lin Jianzhi glanced at his unconnected arm and raised his head to drink a glass of wine.

"Thank you for the prince's concern, it will take some time for his subordinates to recover, but fortunately, he has not hurt his muscles and bones, and it has no effect on his kung fu. "There is no phase.

Lin Jianzhi hummed softly and put the empty lamp on the table. The maidservant on the side hurriedly held the pot and poured wine.

"Prince," Wuxiang continued, "Autumn is getting cooler and the lotus pond is withering, so please think about the prince for the sake of the country, and don't use wine to drown your sorrows and hurt your body." ”

"Borrow wine to drown your sorrows?" Lin Jianzhi sneered, and drank the wine in the cup again, "Say, what's the matter." ”

"The prince has been sullen since he came back from Yifan, and everyone in the palace is sitting like pins and needles, and he has no chance to ask the prince to cheer up and take precautions, otherwise, the prince's mansion may have a flying disaster. "There is no phase.

"Presumptuous!" Lin Jian's eyes were cold, and he smashed the wine glass to the ground.

"Prince," Wuxiang knelt on his knees, "Forgive your subordinates for talking too much, King Yu will take Princess Nalan Yin Bai Yuqian as a concubine, and the five princes will marry Zhong Fu again, so that the power of the two will inevitably become stronger and stronger, for today's plan, you must first strike strongly, and try to break the alliance between the five princes and the Zhong family, and the King of Yu and the Bai Mansion, otherwise it will be really a disaster." ”

"Why doesn't this prince know about this," Lin Jianzhi's handsome eyes were full of anger, "But this Zhong Mansion and Bai Mansion are still good, you didn't see that day in Yifan, the Qingjun prince of the Muyuan Royal Court was actually planning to marry the eldest princess Wu Lanqi into the Gui Wangfu, if it weren't for his father's obstruction, the back of the Yi Emperor's Mansion and the Yi Wangfu would be the royal power of the Muyuan Royal Court in the future, wouldn't this be more troublesome than Zhong Yingxiu and Bai Yuqi!"

"According to the subordinates, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be involved in the princess Wu Lanqi at this time. Wuxiang looked meaningfully at the servant girl beside Lin Jianzhi.

Lin Jianzhi waved his sleeves, and the maid retreated.

"Get up. Lin Jianzhi rubbed his hands with a brocade handkerchief, "What did you say?"

"Prince Xie. Wuxiang got up, "If the appearance of the eldest princess of Wulanqi can prevent the five princes from forming an alliance with the Zhong family, and between the king and the Bai Mansion, the subordinates think that it is an excellent time to invite the eldest princess to come to the country for some time." ”

"Just a woman?" Lin Jianzhi narrowed slightly.

Seeing Lin Jianzhi's great interest, he immediately stepped forward and whispered, and Lin Jianzhi's expression gradually eased.

In the harem, Lin Qitan recuperated for a period of time, and his body gradually improved, although Gu Liuying's body was still weak, but under Jiang Baichen's careful diagnosis and treatment, there was no major recurrence. No one mentioned the Yifan Rebellion that upset Lin Qitan, and the concubines and concubines of the palace had less and less contact with each other except for going to the queen's palace every morning to greet them. Grievances in the palace, disposal outside the palace, Gu Liuying almost died this time, it is not a kind of vigilance.

In the former court, the courtiers were under the anger of Lin Qitan to track down Yifan's turmoil, but in half a month, Ji Zesheng took office, Feng Jintai was held accountable and imprisoned, and Yifan escorted the city defense soldiers to behead more than 20 people.

The matter of exterminating the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom was put on the agenda again, and Song Yu, the secretary of the military department, often talked with Lin Qitan in the Jin Yuan Palace, and Meng Puqian, the secretary of the ministry, was transferred to the Taibao, located under the Taifu Gui Shinan, and at the same time, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials Lang Wu Tongshun was promoted to the Ministry of Shangshu and began to rectify the affairs of the officials of the State of Zhen.

Notices were posted outside the gates of counties and counties in various places to offer rewards for the arrest of the disciples of Xiling Palace, and Lin Qitan was well versed in people's hearts and knew that the rivers and lakes were the most effective. In the night, the reward notices were taken away by unknown people in the rivers and lakes, and there must be brave men under the heavy rewards, not to mention that Xiling Palace has a bad reputation and has many enemies in the rivers and lakes.

Unlike the harem and the previous dynasty, the Yi Emperor's Mansion, located in the south of Xiao'an City, is festive from the inside out. Lin Ziyan is the first prince to be given a seal by Emperor Ye, and in the eyes of hundreds of officials, he naturally has a different kind of dignity.

In the face of the rare things sent by various officials in the name of Lifu, Lin Ziyan was extremely impatient, and he was bored in the afternoon, ignoring Lin Yiren's advice that he should not have a close relationship with King Xu's Mansion, so he simply took two unopened gift boxes, jumped into the carriage and drove straight to King Xu's Mansion.

In the palace of King Hui, the green bamboo is verdant, the blue water is murmuring, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the snow veil is fluttering, the banana leaf qin of Xun Zheng Pavilion is placed on the wide platform of Langfeng Pavilion, the person who is dressed in a light gray brocade robe is as beautiful as a jade caresses the strings, and a song of falling flowers flows out from his fingers.

Under the platform, a painter is concentrating on the pen, drawing on the rice paper the immortal posture of Lin Yiren leisurely stroking the qin.

"Little fan, do you remember this song?" Lin Yiren looked at the beautiful woman beside him with soft eyebrows.

Wearing a hollow carved crystal hairpin, wearing a pleated cloud brocade skirt with purple sleeves of Yanluo, the skin is like spring snow, the lips are like begonias, the ice muscles and jade bones, out of the dust, the carefully combed Gu Xiaofan is like a small lotus after the rain, delicate and pitiful, with thrilling beauty, but the eyes that were once clear as a spring are a little hollow, a little dazed, as if they are outside the world.

Since waking up in the palace of the king, she has not spoken, not even a word.

"Little fan, you can play this tune, Brother Shen gave it to you, pick it up and try it. Lin Yiren stroked the piano while looking at Gu Xiaofan.

Gu Xiaofan hesitated and lowered his head, looked at the Xun in his hand, and rubbed it lightly in his palm, but did not pick it up and put it to his lips.

"If you can't remember how to blow it, will Brother Shen teach you well?" Lin Yiren smiled at the corner of her lips, she didn't know anything, she understood, but she didn't know what to do.

Gu Xiaofan's gaze slowly stopped on the guqin, and he cautiously stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the vibrating strings.

"You...... Want to learn the piano?" Lin Yiren stopped stroking the piano, and warmth gradually appeared in his eyes.

Gu Xiaofan tilted his head sideways, his fingers slowly sliding on the strings at the end of the piano, and his expression was a little curious. Lin Yiren watched quietly, and suddenly raised his hand to pluck the strings.

Zheng-The strings made a leisurely and ethereal sound, and Gu Xiaofan seemed to be frightened, and immediately retracted his hand.

"Little fan," Lin Yiren smiled and gently took Gu Xiaofan's hand, "Brother Shen will teach you." ”

With his hands lightly clasped, Lin Yiren once again felt the bone-chilling coldness coming from his fingertips.

"Xuanniang, go get a thin piece for the little fan. "Lin Yi is humane.

"Yes. There was a trace of unspeakable sadness in Xuanniang's eyes, and she turned around and walked towards the backyard.
