The side hall of Changkun Palace.

The palace maid came and went, methodically, and flowingly served the food, and then retreated.

The emperor turned his head to look at the prince, who was pulling the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, but did not eat, and asked him, "What, the food is not to your liking?" ”

When the prince heard this, he picked up the rice and ate it, but he ate it with a few grains, and he didn't eat the vegetables.

Lin Yan looked at it from the side, like a child who wanted to resist adults, but didn't dare to resist completely.

The emperor hadn't seen the prince for a long time, and he pitied him for losing his mother, although he was dissatisfied with his performance, he didn't want to lose his temper when he saw him.

He personally put a crystal shrimp in his bowl and said, "Eat, this is what you love to eat." ”

The prince took out the crystal shrimp and put it on a plate, and continued to eat the white rice.

The emperor's eyebrows furrowed, and his face instantly turned cold.

The crown prince was still a little afraid of the emperor, and when he saw that his face was cold, he felt a little worried. Put down the chopsticks, sit upright, and said in a tone that was still half reluctant: "Back to my father, my sons don't like to eat crystal shrimp anymore." ”

The emperor took a deep breath, tried to soften his face, and said in a soft voice: "Then what dish do you want to eat, let the palace maid clip it for you." If you don't have one here, let the dining room make it for you. ”

The prince glanced at the table and saw a four-happiness pill in Lin Yan's bowl, and said, "Four happiness balls, I want to eat four-happiness balls." ”

The emperor glanced at the maid of the court, and the maid stepped forward and put a four-happiness ball in the prince's bowl.

The Emperor asked again, "What are you doing all these times?" I didn't see anyone all day. I asked your master, and he said that your homework was not of any benefit, and even the articles assigned by your master were perfunctory. ”

The prince lowered his head and said while sticking the rice in the bowl: "That's because they don't know how to teach, but they put the responsibility on the heads of their sons, a group of old horsemen who can only sue." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face was cold, and the chopsticks in his hand slapped on the table with a "snap", and his face was angry: "You have itchy skin again, aren't you?" ”

The people of the time pay attention to respecting the teacher, even the prince can't be disrespectful to the teacher, not to mention that the prince's performance all day today made the emperor dissatisfied, and the emperor became more and more disappointed in this son, and angry.

The prince was so frightened that his body trembled a little, and he sat upright in his chair, but there was still a little aggrieved look on his face.

Lin Yan looked at it, and hurriedly turned around and said: "Your Majesty, you are eating, you can't sleep or sleep, the emperor wants to teach the prince a lesson in the Qinzheng Palace, and now the lesson will affect your appetite." ”

As he spoke, he put another piece of deer breast meat in the emperor's bowl, and said with a smile: "The concubine didn't eat much when she saw that the emperor, so hurry up and eat." I want to teach a lesson, and then I will teach a lesson when I finish eating, and the prince can't run anyway. ”

The emperor glared at the prince, and he didn't want to be angry with the prince in the harem, thinking that tomorrow he should ask the prince to do more homework for him to collect his temper, pick up the chopsticks in his hand again, and start eating.

The prince sniffed, and didn't dare to continue to annoy the emperor, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat with vegetables, but when he saw that the emperor on the opposite side gave Lin Yan a dish, Lin Yan smiled with a smile, smiled at the emperor with a gentle expression, and also gave a chopstick dish to the emperor, the emperor's face was also gentle, and the two were as harmonious as a loving couple, and then the prince felt that he couldn't eat anything.

After dinner, the emperor asked the prince to send him back to Yanqing Palace.

Lin Yan served the emperor and changed into light regular clothes, and the emperor frowned and complained: "I see that the prince is becoming more and more disagreeable, since his mother left, he has no one to discipline him, and it is difficult for me to take care of him when I am busy with political affairs, and his temperament is growing more and more in an awkward direction." ”

Lin Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is still young, and he has done something wrong, you teach him slowly, don't always lose your temper with him, the more you lose your temper with him at his age, the more rebellious he will be." ”

The emperor said: "Not young, fourteen years old." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hooked Lin Yan's nose, and praised him with a smile: "You are only one year older than him, but you can already help me manage a huge harem." ”

Even he, at the age of fourteen, could already think of how to maneuver between several brothers who were fighting fiercely to protect himself, and curry favor with his father without attracting his brother's attention, so that he could give him a good fief.

Lin Yan also smiled, about the reason why she has taken care of the prince as a younger brother since she was a child, she always thinks that the prince is still a child, but she forgets that she is only one year older than him.

The emperor walked to the couch and sat down, and said while drinking tea: "I have seen it for two years, and I should choose a crown princess for him to take care of him. ”

Lin Yan put the clothes in her hand on the screen and hung them up, then walked to the emperor, sat next to him, held his hand with one hand, held his palm with the other, hooked his palm with a smile, and asked flatteringly: "Does the emperor have a candidate for the crown princess in his heart?" ”

The emperor hooked her nose and said with a smile, "Come and seduce me again." ”

Lin Yan was half dissatisfied and half coquettish: "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor took her into his arms, pressed her down directly on the couch, kissed her forehead and mouth, and said, "You make me happy first, and I will tell you later." ”

Lin Yan's show fist gently hammered into his chest, and he said angrily: "I hate it." "The voice is as delicate as dripping water.

She hugged his waist, raised her head, and kissed him gently on the lips, as light as a feather, which tickled her heart.

The Emperor laughed, then pressed down.

Outside the screen, Mu Qing saw the movement inside, and the palace maid in the hall quietly made a look, took the palace maid out, and quietly closed the palace door.

After eating enough, Lin Yan lazily lay on the emperor's body, resting her chin on her arm crossed on the emperor's chest, looking up at the emperor, and did not forget to ask: "The emperor told the concubine which girl he fancied as the crown princess." ”

The emperor touched the green silk that slipped on her back, his face was also lazy, and said: "I have taken a fancy to a few, but in the past two years, I still have to take a closer look at the girl's conduct, and the selection of the crown princess is not trivial." ”

Lin Yan nodded, knowing that if she asked the emperor again, she would not tell her more information, so she didn't ask any more.

She looked at the little beanie on his chest and nodded on it with some curiosity.

Then she immediately felt that the little second child below was up again, and Lin Yan looked up at the emperor with some innocent eyes, blinking, as if she didn't understand what bad things she had done.

The emperor glared at her: "You are really not afraid of being tired. As he spoke, he reached through her arm and lifted her up slightly.
