The palace is the most glorious place in the whole southern city, and it is also the most deserted place, as a forbidden place, the people can not even approach the palace wall, and the palace buildings in the palace are also heavily guarded, in addition to the forbidden place of the harem, the Changle Palace where the Queen Mother Zhongda lives.

At noon, the forbidden army, eunuchs, and palace maids who usually guard and wait in Changle Palace were all gone, and they were surprisingly quiet, except for an old eunuch drinking tea sitting at the gate of Changle Palace.

The old eunuch Zhou Baokang, the chief of the inner house, the head of the eunuchs, with black hair, black hat and black robe, his face was as white as thick powder, with a hooked nose, thin lips, two eyes with deep sockets, and black eye sockets between his eyebrows, but even if he looked so old and frail, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

In the palace, next to the big bed, Zhong Lixiong sat up from the bed, white and red trousers, embroidered with a few large cherry blossoms, a layer of fine sweat could be seen on his bare upper body, his red hair was messy, and several circles of fragrant red lips hung around his neck.

On the bed, the Queen Mother Zhongda sat up from the bed wrapped in a quilt, her smooth and shiny long red hair stuck to her back due to sweat, and she looked at Zhong Lixiong with affection, with spring in her eyes: "Just go?"

Zhong Lixiong put on his shirt to himself: "There is still serious business in the evening." ”

"I'm not serious here?"

Hearing this, Zhong Lixiong squeezed out a smile and put his right hand on the back of the Queen Mother's shoulder: "Tonight, tonight the matter is for me to come again." ”

Zhong Dajiao sighed, with a charming face: "Don't worry~ I've arranged everything." ”

"What about Beiqi?"

"There is no problem on the Beiqi side, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it were you, you wouldn't miss it. ”

Zhong Lixiong listened, just thought for a moment, and was pulled by Zhong Da's hand again, and fell into his arms: "Don't worry, this matter is done, your business will be my business in the future, and I will help you over there in Dongyin." ”

Zhong Lixiong raised his eyebrows with joy, his face was pale, and he smiled evilly and put Zhong Da's finger on the tip of his tongue: "Thank you, auntie." ”

The two looked at each other in Hanchun, and just about to kiss, they heard Zhou Baokang outside the door: "Queen Mother, Lin Xiao has entered the palace." ”

As soon as he was in a bad mood, he listened to Zhongda shouting: "In the future, there is no need to report such trivial matters." ”

"Yes. ”

Here Zhong Lixiong was angry, thinking of the poetry meeting the day before yesterday, he was angry, his right hand clenched his fist, and said viciously: "He will let the Nanguo Lin clan be destroyed one day, and there will be no future troubles." ”

When Zhong Da heard this, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, hugged Zhong Lixiong and fell on the bed, and whispered in a soft voice: "You, kill me first~"

"Ah sneeze~" Lin Xiao, under the leadership of Cai Zhonglian, the factory director of Dongchang, walked in the palace, and sneeze at noon.

"What's the matter, Lin Gongzi contracted the wind chill last night?" Cai Zhonglian was concerned.

"No, maybe it's an itch in my nose. As he spoke, Lin Xiao picked at it with his index finger.

Cai Zhonglian looked at it, closed her mouth tightly, and covered her face with her sleeves, but even so, she still burst out laughing.

"What?" Lin Xiao rubbed her nose again.

Cai Zhonglian still smiled: "When ordinary civil and military officials enter the palace, they are all trembling, cautious in words and deeds, but Lin Gongzi is unique and dares to dig in the palace...... Well, doing things that are not civil. ”

Lin Xiao herself was a little embarrassed when she heard it: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a layman, I don't pay attention to this." ”

"Ouch~ Lin Gongzi, you are really modest, now in the south, who doesn't know that the new poems you wrote are the best in ancient and modern times, and they are the new poems of our great southern country. ”

"Hey~" Listening to the rainbow fart, Lin Xiao was quite happy.

"It's here. Cai Zhonglian paused at the entrance of the courtyard and said.

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and saw the words "Nanhu Villa" on the stone gate of the courtyard: "Changed places today?"

"Yes, you sit first, and the emperor will come later. Cai Zhonglian said that she was just about to leave, but she was held by Lin Xiao's hand, Cai Zhonglian frowned, her eyes were shocked, and she was just about to guard against the aura in her body, but she heard Lin Xiao say:

"Father-in-law Cai, you are fortunate. As he spoke, Lin Xiao took out a tael of silver ingots from his cuff that Zhao Mei had confessed before leaving.

Cai Zhonglian's face changed from surprise to joy in an instant: "Thank you, Master Lin", after taking the silver two like this, she sighed slightly, and had a false alarm.

"That Lin Gongzi, the slave retreated first, you go to the pavilion and wait first, and the emperor will arrive later. ”

"It's all born to my father, how can I be a slave or not, okay, I'll go to the pavilion and wait first. ”

Saying that, Lin Xiao walked to the pavilion in the lake alone, leaving Gonggong Cai alone, standing there alone, reminiscing for a long time.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Lin Xiao felt a little strange, yesterday he and his imperial brother Zhao Meng were eating in the palace, the palace maid on the side was waiting, and the dishes were also on the ground with the palace maid.

Thinking that he was going to enter the palace at noon to eat, Lin Xiao didn't even drink porridge except for water early in the morning, and after sitting alone at this time, he looked at the table full of delicacies, and just wanted to secretly eat a mouthful of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he remembered the old lady's sentence "Speak the rules and understand the etiquette", hesitated for a long time, and then looked at the huge Nanhu Lake and no one looked at it, hesitated, or secretly picked up a few exquisite dim sum pads to cushion the stomach.

In the imperial study, Zhao Meng sat on a chair and listened to Cai Zhonglian's detailed report.

Zhao Meng asked, "Gone?"

"No, the servant immediately returned to the emperor after accepting Lin Gongzi's ten taels of silver ingots. Cai Zhonglian was full of smiles, but she was still confused by Lin Xiao's last sentence in her heart, and at this time, she talked about Lin Xiao's conversation with herself after entering the palace, and even imitated picking her nose, just this last sentence was not pressed, and it was the first time she heard this kind of thing in the palace for decades:

"It's all born to my father, how can I be a slave or not. Even if Cai Zhonglian recalls it in front of the emperor at this time, there is a feeling of seeing the sky through the clouds and mist, and seeing the moon when the clouds are open, a feeling that she has never had in her life, like the winter sun shining on her cold clothes, warm from the heart.

"Grandpa Cai?"

"Huh. Cai Zhonglian hurriedly responded.

"What do you think?"

"Oh, slave...... Slave...... The minion was still thinking about Lin Gongzi's uncivilized appearance. Saying that, Cai Zhonglian covered her mouth and smiled again, but this time, it was pretended.

"Hmph~" Zhao Meng laughed, "Normal, he has been in the Imperial Southern Sect for a long time, and he doesn't know the etiquette, I don't blame him." ”

"Your Majesty. ”
