Chapter Eighty-Eight: Birthday

When Murong Jun entered, Lin Yingxue had just finished drinking the medicine under the service of the palace maid, and when she saw Murong Jun coming in, she unconsciously pulled her collar, but Murong Jun had already noticed the scar on Lin Yingxue's neck the moment she entered the door. His eyes flashed, but he didn't ask more.

"Are you feeling better?" Although she has been recuperating for several days, the complexion of the person in front of her still looks very bad, but thinking of the danger of that day, Lin Yingxue was fortunate to be able to pick up a life, and now she is in no hurry to recuperate, so she can only recuperate slowly.

"His Royal Highness Lao San is worried, it's already much better." Lin Yingxue, who was weak, looked much weaker than usual, and even the sharp edge on her body was weakened a lot because of this.

Murong Jun looked at Lin Yingxue's appearance, and a trace of pity floated in his heart for no reason. He frowned slightly, and after quietly glancing at the scar on Lin Yingxue's neck, he spoke: "It's too dangerous outside, you are weak now, and you are not suitable for running around, just tell me or Yue'er will help you do it." ”

Since Murong Jun met her, he has helped her countless times, and Lin Yingxue has now somewhat let go of her guard against the person in front of her. She looked at the person in front of her for a while, and finally put forward the idea she had been thinking about for an afternoon: "Does the Third Highness have the idea of taking the heir?" ”

As soon as Lin Yingxue's bold words came out, Murong Jun's first reaction was to look around to see if there were any palace people in the house, but fortunately, Lin Yingxue was not a fool, and knew that there were no outsiders except the two of them at this time, so he spoke.

Murong Jun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his eyes suddenly became fierce, "Fifth Miss is really bold, but she knows that if she says such things in the palace, if it spreads, it will be a sin to kill your head." ”

"My courage is naturally greater than the Third Highness imagined, but I don't know if the Third Highness is like me." Lin Yingxue's eyes were firmly fixed on Murong Jun's body, and the flames of ambition and hatred burned in her dark eyes, converging into a scorching and dazzling light.

- She has a conflict with Forgotten Words' way of acting and thinking, and she is destined to be unable to cooperate anymore, but she alone cannot defeat Murong Xun and the Lin family to avenge herself, so she has no choice but to seek another partner who can help her achieve her goals.

And the person in front of her is undoubtedly a suitable person for her.

Murong Jun felt the vigorous ambition transmitted from Lin Yingxue, he narrowed his eyes, and a trace of dangerous light was reflected in his dark eyes that were as deep as a pool, "His Royal Highness has always admired the crown prince, and it is only natural that the East Palace will ascend to the throne in the future. This time, I just don't think I've heard this, and I hope that Miss Fifth will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future, so as not to cause trouble for herself. ”

Listening to the words of the person in front of her is unintentional to take the throne, but at present, for her, the best partner is the person in front of her, and she is unwilling to give up so easily.

Lin Yingxue hid the loss in her heart, and added unrelentingly: "But now that the crown prince is weak, the fifth prince is in the limelight, and it is not known who the future prince is, does the third highness really have no idea about that position?" ”

Lin Yingxue's questioning made Murong Jun hesitate obviously for a moment before saying, "His Royal Highness will try his best to help the crown prince." ”

That is to say, if the crown prince unfortunately falls in the future, the people in front of him may stand up and fight for the position of the prince? Lin Yingxue, who smelled such a hint of ambition, couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an upright person with a gentle character, if he can sit on the throne in the future, he will naturally be a generation of Ming Jun, but if he wants to be an emperor, his temperament is too gentle and indecisive, but it is a disadvantage." If His Royal Highness wants to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, he will have to pay more attention to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

After all, the princes in the world today are quite capable, and in the case of Murong Jun in front of him, he is no worse than the crown prince, not to mention that there is a fifth prince and other princes who are eyeing the position of the East Palace.

Of course, Murong Jun understood the meaning of Lin Yingxue's words, but the prince had taken a lot of care of him since he was a child, and he had always been his beloved brother in his heart, so it was impossible for him to be hostile to the prince!

"I don't have to worry about this matter, Miss Five, I have my own sense of proportion." Xu is talking about sensitive topics, and Murong Jun's attitude gradually became cold.

Lin Yingxue knew that she had roughly touched the bottom line of the person in front of her, so she stopped talking and did not dwell on this topic anymore.

The atmosphere in the room was originally quite harmonious, but because of the topic just now, it suddenly became heavy, seeing that Murong Jun was planning to get up and leave, Lin Yingxue suddenly remembered an important matter, "Third Highness, please stay!" She hurriedly called out to Murong Jun, who was about to get up and leave.

When Murong Jun heard this, he couldn't help but stop his movements, and turned his head with a little confusion, "Is there anything else about Miss Five?" ”

There was a slight impatience in her tone, and it was obvious that what she said today had indeed made the people in front of her unhappy.

If it had been the usual one, she would definitely not speak again, but now she had to open her mouth and plead: "I hope that the Third Highness can help me protect the two people, that is, the last time I took the Third Highness to see the young woman and the child, they are now in the city, but I don't know their specific whereabouts." ”

Zhao Yun's matter was rumored, and Murong Jun naturally heard about it, he thought about it for a while before he spoke, "I promised Fifth Miss to try her best to find their whereabouts in the city, but there are no absolutes in the world, and I can't promise Fifth Miss that I will be able to find them and protect their safety for the time being, so Fifth Miss herself must prepare for the worst." ”

After Murong Jun finished speaking, seeing the worried look on Lin Yingxue's face, he couldn't help but add: "Since this matter is handled by me, Fifth Miss shouldn't think about it too much, it will be Grandma's birthday in less than half a month, and Fifth Miss will take care of her injuries now and help prepare the gift for Grandma's birthday." ”

Indeed, she was now injured and could not even walk on the ground, let alone anything else. Lin Yingxue's expression darkened slightly, and she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Murong Jun: "Then I will thank the Third Highness here." ”

More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Murong Jun has successfully found the whereabouts of Ah Qing and the child, but he failed to save people, and the people on the side of Forget Yu are also more closely watched, and Murong Jun's people can't find a chance to start, so they can only stare in the dark instead.

Although she failed to rescue the person, as long as she knew that A-Qing and the child were safe, Lin Yingxue finally felt relieved.

In such a strange calm, the 80th birthday of the Empress Dowager finally came as scheduled.

On this day, not only the entire palace was lit up and down, but even the people were rejoicing, going around the streets at will, and there was a prosperous and lively scene everywhere, which really responded to those four words - peace and prosperity.

And the Empress Dowager's 80th birthday, such a grand banquet, the palace naturally invited a lot of officials and officials' families. The originally huge palace was swept away today, and it was crowded with people, and there were warblers and swallows everywhere, and there were even more laughter and laughter in their ears.

After these days of recuperation, Lin Yingxue's body has also improved a lot, although she is still unable to run and jump, but it is no longer a problem to walk normally.

Lin Yingxue lowered her head and quietly listened to Murong Yue coquettish beside the Empress Dowager - she is a member of the Lin family, it stands to reason that the seats should be lined up with the Lin family, but at Murong Yue's strong request, she sat with Murong Yue, but the concubines who sat around her were the princes and princesses and the concubines in the emperor's harem, and it was really embarrassing for her to sit in such a position as the daughter of a courtier.

Fortunately, it was time to present the gift, and no one noticed her for a while.

"Imperial grandmother, today is your eightieth birthday, and your grandson has nothing to give you, so I only wrote a pair of words by hand, chatting about my heart, and hoping that the imperial grandmother likes it." The emperor, as the grandson of the empress dowager, was naturally the first to start the gift.

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, soon some palace people showed the emperor's ink treasure in front of everyone's eyes, only to see a few feet long silk with dragons flying and phoenix dances, and several big characters with extraordinary momentum: Fu is like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan.

At the age of the Empress Dowager, what kind of treasures have not been seen, and now the birthday gift is more than the heart, and the emperor's gift can be regarded as a heart.

After the emperor started, the queen and the princes and princesses also presented their birthday gifts one after another, those birthday gifts have Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, home remedies for diseases, etc., there are many types, there are countless ones, but they all took the trouble to please the Queen Mother is the same.

After the princes and princesses finished offering their gifts, the queen found that Murong Jun's side had not moved, so she couldn't help but say with some curiosity: "Why don't you see the gifts of the four princes?" ”

Today's queen is the biological mother of the prince, and her character is the same as that of the prince - gentle, generous and dignified, which can be a model for a generation of virtuous queens.

He didn't come up with a birthday gift for a long time, and it was normal for everyone to ask about it. Murong Jun stood up calmly, looked at the queen's smiling eyes, and replied: "After returning to the mother, the gifts of the sons and daughters will be sold first, and the queen mother and the great-grandmother will know in a while." ”

Murong Jun's deliberate betrayal caused the smile on the queen's face to become brighter and brighter, "This kid, how can he learn from the sixth child now, and he likes to play this kind of trick of concealment!" “

Although it was ridiculous, the atmosphere at the banquet became more lively and harmonious because of the queen's words.

"Eh, did you see that? The congratulatory gift from the five princes to the Empress Dowager is a big night pearl of the East China Sea, and it is the first time I have seen such a good night pearl in the palace for so many years! There is also the Tianshan Snow Lotus that the prince dedicated to the Queen Mother, I heard that it has the effect of resurrecting the dead! I don't know if the Third Highness can come up with something more attentive and better than these two! ”

Suddenly there was a whispered conversation in her ears, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head and take a sneak look, only to see that not far from her, two unfamiliar concubines were talking together in a low voice at this time.

"Then I can't say for sure, in the past, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, the three princes are all extremely low-key characters, and I don't know what tricks they are playing this year. Anyway, we're all watching the fun, just watch the show, what do you do with so much heart! The other concubine replied casually while shaking the fan in her hand.

And Lin Yingxue, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but touch her nose when she heard this-the reason why Murong Jun changed her previous style of acting and became so high-profile was not because of her?

I just don't know if this time I was in the limelight, will it have an impact on Murong Jun...... Lin Yingxue's originally good mood suddenly lightened a lot because of the words of the two concubines.
