From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, hundreds of officials and ministers and internal and external women had to enter the palace to receive the banquet, whether it was the emperor or Lin Yan, they were very busy.

But before the year was over, something happened to the prince again - related to the Jiang family.

The reason was that when the prince went to see the emperor, he met the Jiang family in the imperial garden, but for some reason, the prince suddenly attacked the Jiang family and said a few very ugly words.

As the crown prince, it is not good to be disrespectful to his father and concubine, but after the Jiang family went back, he said that he was so angry that he was red, and now the matter is even more serious - if it is not good, it is said that the prince plotted to kill the emperor's heir.

The emperor was furious, called the crown prince over, reprimanded him in front of everyone, and then asked him to kneel in the temple.

After Lin Yan heard the news, she hurried to the Qinzheng Hall and asked Mu Qing: "Tell me about the situation at that time, what happened." ”

Mu Qingdao: "Originally, when the prince's harem and the palace concubine met, it was normal for palace people to follow on both sides. But today, Jiang Cairen didn't know what was wrong today, and suddenly stopped the prince and asked about the prince's life and studies with a concerned face, and said that the emperor had great expectations for the prince, and hoped that the prince would be diligent and not live up to the emperor's expectations, and he would be worthy of the deceased Empress Yuan. The prince was unhappy in his heart, and scolded her for a few very ugly words, who would have thought that the Jiang family would become popular like this. ”

Mu Qing was also very unhappy in her heart, a five-grade palace concubine, where did she get the confidence to teach the prince, she really thought that she was wearing the skin of the queen of the yuan and was the queen of the yuan. The prince has a sentence that is right: "You are the reincarnation of the fox spirit, deliberately wearing the skin of the orphaned mother to seduce your father." What kind of thing are you, a slut, sooner or later you will let your father throw you to the Yeting Palace. ”

Lin Yan understood that the Jiang family was doing it on purpose. She deliberately waited for the prince and deliberately told him these words.

Although the harem does not have such a strict palace ban as in the previous dynasty, the palace concubine will more or less take the initiative to avoid the older prince, how can she meet the prince so coincidentally? Even if she did, the palace people should have reminded her to avoid it.

What Jiang said was pretty much the same for her. But what kind of green onion is she, the prince doesn't like her in the first place, and it's no wonder if he doesn't get angry when he hears these words.

Although the crown prince grew up in the royal family and has a smart temperament, because he is the eldest son, the emperor has a lot of favoritism towards him, and he still has some youthful impulses.

And Jiang took advantage of his impulse.

If you change to a calm second prince today, even if you are angry in your heart, you can greet the Jiang family with a smile, first say "Thank you for the teachings of the talented people", and then say "All the things that the Taifu should say are all said by the talented people, it seems that the Taifu is derelict in his duties, and it is better for the talented people to do their best for the lonely." "I can choke on the Jiang family and can't say a word - although Wu Guifei is not very smart, the son she gave birth to is still a little clever and cautious.

Speaking of which, the prince's temperament is not calm enough.

Lin Yan still had a lot of questions to ask, but in a blink of an eye, the Qinzheng Palace had arrived, and she said to Mu Qing: "Don't say it yet, I'll go to see the emperor first." ”

The Qinzheng Palace is an important place for military and political affairs, even if it is a palace concubine, without the emperor's edict, she is not allowed to enter and leave at will.

Lin Yan was given special convenience by the emperor and was in and out at will, but Mu Qing, the palace maid, couldn't. So Lin Yan went in alone, and Mu Qing stayed outside the Qinzheng Palace.

The emperor in the hall was probably also a little angry, his face was dark, he stood in front of the table and practiced big characters to dissipate his anger, and threw a ball of paper on the ground, which looked a little messy.

Gong Wan and the others who were waiting in the hall stood aside, and they didn't dare to exhale.

Lin Yan called softly: "Uncle." ”

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at her, and did not walk down to take her by as usual, but threw down the pen in his hand, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "If you come to intercede for the prince, don't say more." ”

Lin Yan wanted to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "I know my uncle is angry, but the New Year is not over yet." Now punish the prince to kneel in the temple, the prince has just been in the court to listen to the government not long ago, what do you let the ministers outside think of him. Even if he wants to be punished, the emperor will wait for the New Year to finish and punish him in a different way. ”

The emperor said coldly: "Leave him alone, just let him have a long memory, let him know what to do and what not to do." Does he really think that if he is the crown prince, he can do whatever he wants? ”

Lin Yan was also a little angry, the emperor did this, it would affect the prestige of the crown prince, especially since he had just started to go to court, and others would think that the emperor was not satisfied with him. What's more, this is about the prince's character, the prince is the prince, and the slightest flaw in his conduct will make people criticize, and the emperor is directly showing the prince's bad side to others.

Lin Yan knelt down, looked up at the emperor, her eyes were slightly wet, and said, "Although the prince is at fault, Jiang Cairen's words are also inappropriate. Uncle, do you really want me to go to the ancestral hall to kneel on my aunt's tablet so that you can forgive the prince? ”

The emperor said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Lin Yan looked at him with wet eyes, with grievances on her face, and a trace of stubbornness that refused to give in.

In the end, it was his wife who was pampered like a child in his heart, the emperor sighed, softened his voice, and said, "Do you know how hurtful your words just now are?" The crown prince is my eldest son, your aunt's only child, and I love him more than you. ”

Lin Yan lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, uncle." She looked up again and asked, "What ...... the prince?"

The emperor decisively interrupted her and said, "I must punish the prince this time." ”

"The prince didn't mean it, not to mention that Jiang Cairen's fetus is not a big problem."

The emperor said, "I know that he didn't mean to, but he is the crown prince, and he will take over the burden of this country in the future." A woman can make him jump up, write everything on her face, without the slightest scheming of the city, short-tempered, and do whatever she wants, how can you let me rest assured that I will hand over this world to him? I won't let him fall hard, he'll never learn to grow up. ”

Lin Yan didn't speak, the prince's temperament did have a lot of shortcomings, she just felt that she should teach slowly.

The emperor turned his back, his slender figure looked a little lonely on the ground, and his voice came a little desolately: "Yuan Yuan, the royal family has no father and son!" He should not always rely on my fatherly heart, but should regulate his words and deeds to reassure me. I believe in him now, and there is no guarantee that I will always believe in him. I will also be old, maybe I will be deaf, I may listen to the provocation of others and dislike him, and I may have a more beloved son in the future, if he cannot rely on his own strength to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, and every word and deed can not be picked out by people, he will be very dangerous. ”

"Excessive indulgence of him is a disservice to him."

Lin Yan hung her head and was silent, she knew that what the emperor said was right.

No one can tell what will happen in the future, whether there will be cannibalism between father and son, whether the emperor will really have a more favored concubine and a more beloved son. Just like the Lin family, they believe in the emperor's affection for Lin Xian, but they can't believe that this affection can be maintained forever, even the emperor himself is afraid and can't believe himself, so the Lin family sent her to the palace, and the emperor married her. In order to prevent all the unknown but possible happening.

At least the emperor is still kind enough to the crown prince, and at this time he has thought of all the back roads for him, and has planned everything, even if one day they really have a disagreement, the prince can sit firmly on the throne of the prince.

The emperor is now strict with the crown prince, which is better than pampering and pampering him now, and when the father and son really have a gap, the prince has no way to deal with it.

The emperor was afraid that Lin Yan would stay here and continue to plead, and he would be shaken, so he instructed Wan Gong to say fairly: "Send your mother back to Changkun Palace." ”

Lin Yan didn't say anything more, stood up and glanced at the emperor's back again, lowered her eyes, and left with Gonggong Wan. (To be continued.) )
