After breakfast, Xiao Muning and Lin Qingwan took a walk on the way back to the East Courtyard.

There was such a big incident in Kyoto, Lin Qingwan, as a party concerned, was very curious about the emperor's reaction this morning, "Lord, this morning, what is the emperor's reaction when he hears about this?" ”

Xiao Muning motioned to go to the pavilion and sit down, "My father was furious when he heard about this, saying that such a thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and reprimanded the head of the military department for failing to protect the security of the capital, and then arranged for the criminal department to investigate, and said that he would give us an explanation." ”

Lin Qingwan turned around and sat on the railing of the gazebo, looking at the koi swimming back and forth in the pond, and fell into deep thought.

"The courtier's daughter congratulated the prince in advance, and embarked on the road to return to the court so quickly."

Xiao Muning stepped forward and deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "What did my sister say this?" ”

Lin Qingwan turned around and tilted his head to look up at Xiao Muning, "The head of the military department has lost his sacred heart, and the envoy of the Northern Han is coming to visit again, he will definitely stay in Kyoto for a few days, the security in Beijing is like this, how can the emperor rest assured!" In addition, the emperor owes you an explanation to our Lin family, if there is a minister at this time who asks for a performance and recommends the prince to be in charge of all these matters, for the sake of the country's face, and also for the prevarication of this fruitless matter, the emperor should not refuse! The prince and his father also plan to do so! ”

Xiao Muning was not surprised at all that the plan was easily seen through by her, but there were some things that Xiao Muning hoped that she would stay out of, "In this way, the king of this book should thank the mastermind behind the scenes!" ”

Last night's bloody storm has not passed, and now the power scheme has quietly come, Lin Qingwan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that the courtiers finally have some value!" He was not assassinated in vain! It's just that it affected the few hidden guards who were injured in vain. ”

What's the good thing about being born in the emperor's family, ordinary people compete for family property, and it's nothing if they can't fight; But the emperor's family fights for a chair, but they fight for it with their lives! His own life hangs in the balance, not to mention the lives of others, the most ruthless emperor's family!

This is also the sorrow of being a prince! Thinking of this, she stood up in a depressed mood and bowed, "Although the courtier has no evidence, I still have to remind the prince that the person behind the scenes may be the fourth prince." The courtiers have to go back to make clothes, so they will retire first! ”

Turning around and walking out of the pavilion with Xiao Tan and Zizhu, Ruoying walked towards him, and was very happy to see Lin Qingwan, and bowed, "Ask the county lord An." Lin Qingwan smiled and nodded, and walked past him.

Ruoying didn't know why, looked at Lin Qingwan's back, and then looked at the prince who was coming out of the pavilion, and stepped forward to ask, "Lord, the subordinates don't look at the county lord's face very well, have you offended the county lord again?" ”

Xiao Muning looked at her back, was this blaming him and Lin Xiang for not caring about her life or death?

Lin Qingwan returned to the courtyard and sat alone under the porch for a long time, looking at the clouds in the air, and listening to the rustle of leaves in the wind.

Xiao Tan and Zizhu didn't dare to come forward to disturb, they didn't know what was going on, their young lady was obviously fine in the morning, how could it be like this when she came back from breakfast?

Lin Qingwan, who had been sitting all morning, was finally relieved, this world is like this, since he has been deeply trapped in conspiracy, in this fate that cannot be escaped, instead of self-pity and self-pity, it is better to live in the present, and the life has to be lived, right?

Lin Qingwan stood up and moved his muscles and bones, as if he was playing role-playing, and shouted behind him, "Xiao Tan, bring a ruler, let's go measure the prince." ”

At the door of the study in the east courtyard, Ruoying was quite surprised to see Lin Qingwan coming over, "Say hello to the county lord, the county lord is here to find my lord?" ”

Lin Qingwan took the ruler in Xiao Tan's hand and showed it to him, "In order to save you from punishment, I promised to make a dress for the prince, no, come and measure it in person." ”

Ruoying laughed and said, "So that's the case, the subordinates are still wondering, how did the prince let us go so easily, it turned out that he got a benefit from the county lord!" ”

Xiao Muning in the house heard it clearly, and without waiting for someone to come in to report, he rushed out of the door and said loudly, "Ruoying, let the county lord come in alone!" ”

Hearing Xiao Muning's words, they made eye contact with each other at the door, silent. Ruoying hurriedly pushed the door to let Lin Qingwan in, and then closed the door.

"The courtiers greet the prince."

Xiao Muning sat in front of the table, looking extremely serious, and replied without raising his head, "Wait for me, there is tea and snacks on the table, you can sit by yourself for a while." ”

Lin Qingwan took a few steps forward, stretched out his head to see what he was doing, on the delicate fan, he was painting the fan surface, the pavilion in the distant mountains, and the lotus flowers were half-bloomed and even more charming.

"The level of the prince's painting is good!" Lin Qingwan did not hesitate to praise.

Xiao Muning still didn't look up, and his tone was soft, "Do you like it?" I'm painting, and you're good at writing poems! ”

Lin Qingwan was a little hesitant, Xiao Muning saw that she didn't reply for a long time, and looked up at her, "What's wrong?" How not to speak! ”

"The calligraphy of the courtiers may ruin the prince's paintings, so let the prince write it on his behalf!"

In Xiao Muning's cognition, Lin Qingwan has always been famous as the first talented woman in Dayu, and now she can't help but be a little surprised when she hears that she can't write well.

Xiao Muning didn't ask, picked up the calligraphy brush with the inscription, "Okay, you can say it!" I'll write. ”

Lin Qingwan looked at the scenery on the fan, remembered a poem, and said casually, "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red." ”

Xiao Muning took the pen and recalled these two sentences, which are very appropriate to his paintings, "She is worthy of being the first talented woman, and her poetry is at your fingertips!" After speaking, he lowered his head and began to write, and did not forget to buckle his private seal after writing.

He picked up the fan and blew the ink that had not dried on it, and handed it to Lin Qingwan with some embarrassment, "I was unhappy to see you in the morning, so I got this for you when I came back." ”

Lin Qingwan took the fan, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you, the princess, that courtier is welcome!" ”

"Xiangye and I didn't want to take advantage of this matter, but we just took advantage of the situation to get to this point. Don't worry, I'll take care of you in the future! Xiao Muning didn't know why he wanted to say something to Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan put the fan on the table under the window to ventilate, and when he heard this, a warm current suddenly surged into his heart, and he turned around and took the ruler, "Thank you, the princess, the courtier came to fulfill the promise and give you the measurement." ”

Xiao Muning stood up straight, and Lin Qingwan unceremoniously stepped forward to measure his size, which made Xiao Muning itch, but when he saw her serious appearance, he felt that he was thinking too much!

Lin Qingwan guessed that Xiao Muning's figure was so good, he must have abdominal muscles and a mermaid line. After touching it for a while, I took it when I saw it.

"By the way, why do you say that the mastermind behind the scenes may be the fourth prince?"

"The courtiers were intercepted by him when they left the palace after seeing the emperor last time, from the perspective of criminal psychology, he deliberately created this meeting, and he deliberately tried to test whether I remember or not, which shows that he has a weak heart."

Xiao Muning frowned, "What is criminal psychology?" ”

"To put it simply, it is the state of mind of a person after doing something bad." Lin Qingwan explained.

"That sounds new. Criminal psychology, did you name it? ”

Lin Qingwan didn't answer him, hurriedly put away the size list, and took the fan, "Lord Wang, the courtiers have finished measuring, so let's retire!" ”

In the next few days, Lin Qingwan kept his ears off the window, and sewed pajamas for Xiao Muning in the yard, this style of modern men's pajamas has never been seen by everyone, and anyone who sees it is quite surprised.

Lin Qingwan specially begged Ruoying to help her find a few thick shells, there were no buttons in this era, so she could only grind a few by herself.

When Wakakage gave her shells, she glanced at their prince's new clothes.

"Lord Wang, do you guess what the county lord asked his subordinates to buy for her today?" Ruoying looked at Xiao Muning expectantly.

Xiao Muning also felt that he hadn't seen Lin Qingwan again in the past two days except for eating, "What did I buy from you?" ”

"Shells! Lord, why do you say that the county lord wants shells to make clothes! Wakakage held her sword and wondered.

"What are you anxious about, when she is ready, you will know!"

Xiao Muning repeatedly wrote Lin Qingwan's two inscription poems in front of the table, and the ghost sent the god to write another sentence in the back, not seeing him for a day, thinking like crazy.

When Xiao Muning reacted, he grabbed the rice paper in front of him, crumpled it and threw it on the ground.

Ruoying didn't understand, "What's wrong with the prince?" The words are well written, why are they thrown away! After saying that, he leaned down and picked it up.

Xiao Muning immediately said something to stop, "Don't pick it up." ”

Frightened, Ruoying immediately withdrew her hand, what is wrong with the prince?

In the past few days, the people from the Criminal Department have gone to the house to investigate the scene, and the people outside have also secretly discussed the royal family's plans because of this matter, and the rumor that Xiao Muning is not treated by the emperor has been confirmed.

These words soon reached the ears of the emperor, and he was furious in the early court, and several ministers jointly played, seeing the arrival of the envoy of the Northern Han, if he wanted to calm down the matter, he could only entrust him with a heavy task.

The emperor and the ministers discussed and decided to appoint the three princes as the reception envoys, taking over the responsibility of patrolling the capital and maintaining public order.

Soon, Xiao Muning took the will and went to the military department to take over this independent department.
