In the eldest prince's mansion, the lady concubine and the eldest princess were waiting for the eldest prince to come back, and as time went by, seeing that the eldest prince had not returned, they couldn't help but get nervous.

The sun is almost setting, why hasn't it come back yet? If you don't come back, the gates will be closed.

The closing of the city gate is a trivial matter, but in fact, they are more worried about another possibility. Although the eldest prince explained so much before leaving, they were still faintly worried in their hearts.

When the eldest prince returned home, the subordinates hurriedly locked the door, and he immediately ordered: "No need to lock it, just close it, and the small door doesn't need to be closed, you should go out to buy and buy." ”

Seeing the eldest prince coming in, the eldest princess immediately greeted her and said worriedly: "Your Highness is back!" ”

The eldest prince nodded slightly and said: "You don't have to worry, you don't have to be so nervous in the future, and the small door doesn't have to be locked anymore, if you have any needs, just ask someone to go out and buy." ”

Concubine Shu asked, "What's wrong?" What did he tell you? ”

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I didn't say anything, but I happened to meet General Lin when I came back." ”

The eldest princess asked, "General Lin?" What's wrong? ”

The eldest prince asked, "Do you remember Qingbo?" He is the old butler of the Tang Mansion! ”

If you only talk about Qingbo, the eldest princess doesn't remember, after all, she doesn't pay as much attention to the Tang Mansion as the eldest prince, but when it comes to the old housekeeper, she remembers, after all, she has also been to the Tang Mansion many times.

It's just that I don't know why His Royal Highness mentioned the smiling old butler, the eldest princess asked, "Remember, why did Your Highness mention him?" ”

The eldest princess still knew about Qingbo, but the lady concubine was a little dazed, but she still listened with concern.

The eldest prince sighed: "He is not only the prince's old butler, but he took care of the prince single-handedly, he is the old servant of Queen Chunyuan, and he can be said to be loyal to Queen Chunyuan!" ”

The eldest princess and concubine listened quietly, but they wondered very much, what does this have to do with General Lin?

The eldest prince continued: "But who would have thought that he would be General Lin's father! ”

The eldest princess and concubine Shu were immediately stunned when they heard this, and asked in a daze, "Who is General Lin's father?" ”

The eldest prince confirmed: "Qing Bo, the old butler of the Tang Mansion who took care of the prince growing up, is the father of General Lin, now you know why the city gate of the Jingying was opened without an arrow and the commander of Jizhou drove straight in, right?" ”

The old butler of the Tang Mansion turned out to be General Lin's father? The eldest princess and the concubine opened their cherry mouths, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Concubine Niangniang shook her head and said, "This, how is this possible?" How could the father of a dignified general be a housekeeper in the Tang Mansion? ”

The eldest prince smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, this is what I heard with my own ears, Uncle Qing died in the Tang Mansion Courtyard, and was killed by Ye Bei, the top master of the temple, General Lin chased Ye Bei with his own soldiers all night, and then returned to Beijing, it is estimated that the Lin Mansion will have a funeral soon, and you will understand when the time comes!" ”

Even if Concubine Shu and the eldest princess knew that this was true, they were still a little incredulous.

The eldest prince smiled bitterly: "Because of this, I ordered that there is no need to lock the door, he has been approved by hundreds of officials, entered the East Palace, has the Nanshan Battalion and the Jizhou Army in his hands, and has such a relationship with General Lin, how can he be afraid of me?" ”

After finishing speaking, the eldest prince couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Thinking about the original dispute between the princes, it is really a little ridiculous, how can it be a struggle?" ”

Just when the eldest prince sighed, Lin Xiangnan also returned to the mansion.

After such a long time, he finally returned home, Mrs. Lin and Lin Lan came out together, Lin Lan also became cheerful again, and smiled sweetly: "Dad, are you back?" Do you know you're back? You don't know how worried you are these days! ”

Lin nodded to the south, and Lin Lan asked curiously, "Dad, what are you carrying behind you?" Why do you still take off your robe and carry it on your back? ”

Mrs. Lin had already noticed that something was wrong with his face, and thought that he was sad that the emperor had died, so she hurriedly said: "Lan'er, your father has been away for so many days, and he is very tired, don't make any noise about your father!" ”

After speaking, Mrs. Lin said with concern: "Master? ”

Lin Xiangnan mourned: "Ruyi, dad is gone!" ”

In front of his closest people, Lin Xiangnan unabashedly revealed his heart.

Mrs. Lin's face changed greatly, and she covered her mouth and said in surprise: "What? Daddy, why did Daddy go? Her gaze shifted to the robe he was carrying behind him.

Lin Xiangnan mourned: "This is my father's bones!" ”

Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "How come?" Why did Dad go? ”

Lin Xiangnan sighed: "The second prince wants to burn down the Tang Mansion Courtyard, and my father came out to stop Ye Bei from ......."

Mrs. Lin took two steps back in despair and blamed herself: "It's all my fault!" It's all my fault! I should have taken the family general out to check, I shouldn't have stopped Lan'er, my father wouldn't have gone! ”

Lin Xiangnan shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, even if you know, you shouldn't come out......"

Mrs. Lin burst into tears, covered her mouth and choked up: "Lan'er didn't even call grandpa in person, why did my father go!" What about Ye Bei? The master must kill him to avenge his father! ”

Lin Xiangnan said in a deep voice: "I have already killed, and I finally caught up with him after chasing him all night!" ”

Lin Lan stood aside in a daze, her little head a little confused, grandpa? She still has a grandfather? Why hasn't she ever heard her father talk about it?

But seeing her father's sad appearance, she was also very sad and uncomfortable in her heart, maybe this is blood thicker than water.

Lin Lan asked with some sadness: "Daddy, my grandfather went?" I still have a grandfather? ”

Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "Yes, your grandfather went!" ”

Lin Xiangnan said sadly: "Kowtow to your grandfather for a while, he has never been able to hear you call grandpa in his life!" ”

Lin Lan nodded obediently with red eyes and said, "Hmm! ”

When he came to the hall, Lin Xiangnan carefully placed the wrapped bones on the table, Mrs. Lin knelt down and kowtowed, and Lin Lan also knelt down and kowtowed: "Grandpa, granddaughter kowtowed to you!" ”

Hearing his daughter calling grandpa, Lin Xiangnan was even more sad in his heart, how good would it be if the old man could live to listen to the woman call grandpa in person?

It's just a pity that although my daughter runs to the Tang Mansion a lot and often meets the old man, she has never been able to recognize each other. The old man must have been looking forward to this for a long time, right?

Now that the woman can finally recognize the old man, she can finally call her grandfather in person, but the old man has gone......

Lin Xiangnan endured his grief and went to prepare for the old man's funeral, and Mrs. Lin sat there on her knees and wept sadly.

Lin Lan was also very sad, but she also had a lot of questions in her heart, since her grandfather was still alive in the world, why did her father and mother never mention it to her?
