Chapter 24 Leaving the palace with the Ten Princes
After the prince saw Xia Chuyan's reaction, he knew that his efforts in advance were not in vain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn order to find this handkerchief from five or six years ago, the prince did not have to work hard. When I accidentally saw Xia Chuyu's naughtiness, I made people embroider it on a whim, but I didn't expect it to become a weapon that moved Xia Chuyan today.
"Thank you for the prince's love, it's not early, please send me back!" Xia Chuyu was up and down in his heart, he didn't know what to do, he just wanted to think quietly alone.
The prince knows that this kind of thing is not in a hurry, it is good to have this result today, and there will be more opportunities in the future.
Lin Ruochen was not idle here, after the prince returned to the palace, Lin Ruochen immediately became busy, he had to arrange everything here before leaving, and he couldn't just hand over Xia Chuyan to the prince.
"What did you say?" the emperor frowned, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Lin Ruochen saluted the emperor respectfully again, and then said: "Your Majesty, since Xiaomin heard about this rumor, he has always wanted to tell you about it, but you have a lot of opportunities, how can you believe these rumors as easily as we who are short-sighted? But this morning, Xiaomin saw the haggard Lord Xia, and he knew what rumors were terrifying. ”
Lin Ruochen described it lightly, as if he was really just saying an innocuous gossip. It's a pity that he said this at the wrong time, seeing that he was about to leave with the Ten Princes, how could he really say something inconsequential at this juncture?
The emperor is not a fool, Lin Ruochen's words are obviously reminding him that someone wants to ascend to the highest position.
What Lin Ruochen didn't know was that Concubine Jiang had just come, and the purpose was to marry Xia Chuyan for the second prince.
"Come here!" the emperor stepped forward according to the eunuch beside him, "Go and tell Jiang Guifei that since the second prince has married a wife, he should focus on his studies, and don't focus all his eyes on women, so that there will never be any success." ”
After the eunuch withdrew, the emperor looked at Lin Ruochen, who was stunned, coughed lightly, and then began to look through the folds at hand.
Lin Ruochen knew that the emperor had ordered the expulsion of guests, so he immediately bowed down and retreated. After walking out of the palace, Lin Ruochen saw the prince standing in the distance at a glance.
"How's it going, have you achieved your goal?" the prince looked like he was smiling.
Lin Ruochen didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and just as he wanted to say goodbye, he heard the prince mention Jiang Guifei.
"I saw Jiang Guifei when I came, and I guessed that he was a matchmaker for the second brother, so I waited here to watch a good show. I thought that the queen mother would come first, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious. ”
Lin Ruochen looked at the crown prince: "How do you know that the emperor will not agree? What if the emperor agrees?"
The crown prince shook his head: "The father will not agree, because since Jiang Guifei wants to cultivate her son, how can she leave a great opportunity to the second brother? When both of them are worried about one thing, the father will definitely investigate, and then take it for granted that the rumors exist, and then take it for granted that the second brother is ambitious. ”
As soon as the prince's words fell, the queen's figure appeared in front of them from afar. The prince smiled coldly, and Lin Ruochen finally understood why the queen always lost to Concubine Jiang Guifei with a strong background. Because here, you need more than just a background, you need a smart enough mind.
The prince turned his head to leave, but when he turned around, he told Lin Ruochen: "I thought you had a very high IQ, but I didn't expect you to be so irrational on the issue of Xia Chuyan, if you continue like this, you will definitely lose more than you gain." ”
Lin Ruochen didn't refute, he knew that what the prince said was right, but he couldn't help it.
Because the ten princes went away, several princes came to see him off. The second prince still plays the role of a considerate brother, not only sending warm coats to the tenth prince, but also preparing a lot of snacks that can be used to pass the time.
The six princes still pretended to be stable, but the difference was that there were no water stains on their clothes this time. But the eyeballs he scans everywhere betray him, proving his playful nature.
Lin Ruochen suddenly became interested, picked up a small pebble, and threw it at the six princes when no one was paying attention.
"Who?" the sixth prince jumped up and shouted, his active nature exposed. After shouting, the sixth prince remembered that he was not stable enough just now, so he tidied up his clothes, and then coughed softly.
"Someone ...... just now," the sixth prince explained to everyone.
The second prince smiled, walked up to the sixth prince and patted him on the shoulder: "The sixth brother is suspicious, who dares to make a move in front of us?"
The Sixth Prince nodded, neither saying yes nor no. However, when he looked up, he inadvertently saw Lin Ruochen, and also saw the smiling face that he hadn't had time to take back.
"As soon as the tenth brother leaves today, I'm afraid it will be a year before we meet again, and it's really reluctant to think about it. The crown prince sighed heavily, and it seemed that he was really inseparable from the ten princes.
After finishing speaking, the prince walked up to Lin Ruochen and solemnly explained to him: "You have to take care of the tenth brother, he is still young, if there is anything you have to think about for him, you must not let him be hurt in any way." ”
Lin Ruochen respectfully agreed, but took the note in the prince's hand when he bent over. The two of them did it unconsciously, and none of the people present could see their small movements clearly.
After Lin Ruochen sat in the sedan chair, he opened the note that the prince had just handed over to him, and saw that it read: Win over Sima Nan.
Lin Ruochen smiled, the prince really thought of going with him. Isn't the reason why Lin Ruochen is willing to travel thousands of miles with the Ten Princes to visit relatives is to win over Sima Nan? However, Lin Ruochen is not trying to win over Sima Nan for the crown prince, but to make his abilities stronger and his fists harder.
As a result, not long after leaving the suburbs, the tenth prince couldn't sit still in the sedan chair. As a young man, it was the first time he had gone far away, and he was full of curiosity about everything outside, so he insisted on riding a horse, just to see the scenery outside.
Lin Ruochen nodded in agreement, "Since the Ten Princes want to sit on a horse, then take off the silk on their bodies and put on armor that can protect their bodies." ”
Seeing that Lin Ruochen agreed, the Ten Princes immediately took off their coats. He originally wanted to wear armor, but Lin Ruochen's words just spoke to his heart.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is cruel. The weight and thickness of the armor made him quickly disarm and surrender, saying that he did not want to wear it again.
Lin Ruochen looked at this wayward prince helplessly, and understood his rebellious psychology for the first time. When they met before, the impression given to him by the Ten Princes was that he was obedient, well-behaved, and smart, why did he change so much just after leaving the palace?
The Ten Princes seemed to hear Lin Ruochen's heart, and took the initiative to explain to him: "I've been a canary in the palace for a long time, and I can finally be released, do you want me to be an obedient puppet?"
