"Your Majesty, this is a letter intercepted by the slave, a total of two letters, please take a look at the emperor."

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qin Ye knelt on the ground and presented the two letters, which were none other than those sent to Li Shenlan by the Taiwei Mansion. Since Yin Chen learned that the Taiwei would send letters to Li Shenlan every month, he arranged for Qin Ye to watch and intercept them every month.

Yin Chen took the letter and read it carefully, but the changes in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Tai Lieutenant, this fox tail can't be hidden more and more."

"Your Majesty, forgive the slave for being stupid, the emperor favors Master Lan and repairs the palace for him with great luxury, and Lord Lan is not the Taiwei's own child, looking at the reaction to the letter last time, obviously he will not favor the Taiwei ......"

Saying these words, Qin Ye admitted that he was indeed selfish, he liked Bang Chun, and naturally hoped that the master who followed Bang Chun could live a better life. Yin Chen showed great affection for Li Shenlan on his face, but he could monitor everything in his life in private.

And all this is just for the Taiwei Mansion behind Li Shenlan.

"Qin Ye, do you know why I chose you and not your master back then?"

The sudden question made Qin Ye scratch his head, Qin Ye was ostensibly the imperial guard, but in fact he was the leader of Yin Chen's secret guard.

The people of the secret guard were all locked up in the dark building for training when they were young, and in the final assessment of that year, Qin Ye fought with the last bit of strength to put the sword on the master's neck. But out of forbearance and gratitude, the sword didn't go down in the end.

It was also for this that Yin Chen fell in love with himself, but he cut his master 3,000 knives in front of him. Since then, Qin Ye has only done things and not spoke, like an emotionless puppet, Yin Chen pointed to where to kill.

Seeing that Qin Ye didn't speak, Yin Chen asked again.

"Do you know why I was chosen by the first emperor to be the crown prince?"

"The position of the crown prince is granted by heaven as far as the emperor is concerned, and it is the luck of Daqi to have the emperor." Qin Ye replied crisply and neatly, without a trace of hesitation.

But Yin Chen, who was above his head, was silent for a long time, so long that Qin Ye thought that he had gone to the inner room.

"At that time, the first emperor had ten princes, the eldest brother was deep in the city and the second brother was good at gambling, the sixth brother was brave and strategic, and the eighth brother was quick and quick-witted, and he had a seven-trick heart, which was quite loved by the first emperor. But the first emperor set up me, the obscure, mediocre fifth became the prince, you! Do you know why? ”

Yin Chen said that in the end, his voice suddenly rose, and Qin Ye had followed this master for a lifetime, but at this time, his heart was still sinking, and his palms were cold.

"From the second prince to the ground, every day in this world is a test. Every time the first emperor gave a task, which of my brothers didn't fight each other and try their best to show themselves?

Only I can do my part quietly. Qin Ye, you have been following me for twenty years, you should understand in your heart. ”

"The slave knows his mistake, if the emperor has nothing else to tell the slave to retire first."

"Wait!"

Yin Chen stopped Qin Ye, and in the next second, he folded the letter and put it back in the envelope and threw it in front of Qin Ye.

"Get the envelope back to its original form and find someone to send it to Yongfu Palace."

In Yongfu Palace, Concubine Xiang nagged Li Shenlan for a while before returning to Jinghe Palace. However, it was said that he was back to Jinghe Palace, but in fact, he went to Changle Palace halfway, and prepared dinner at the queen's place.

After Concubine Xiang left, Bang Chun hid the letter in her cuffs and entered the bedroom.

"Niangniang, this is sent by the master."

Because Li Shenlan was crowned Jieyu and was very favored by Yin Chen, everyone in the palace called Li Shenlan a mother.

Li Shenlan took the letter, habitually threw the letter written by the Taiwei aside, and opened the letter of the second elder of the Song family in a hurry.

But the content of the letter was mediocre, and it was even exactly the same as the first time it was sent, Li Shenlan frowned.

My father and mother knew in their hearts that there was a rule of once a month, and it was impossible to just write these irrelevant words of thought.

Did something happen to the second elder of the Song family?

Li Shenlan was shocked, and hurriedly took the letter written by the Taiwei again, and opened it to read it in a hurry.

"What does Lee Yun-san mean!" Li Shenlan was obviously mad, and she didn't care about her dignity, so she directly shouted out the name of the captain.

Bang Chunyuan was still standing there, and after hearing Li Shenlan's words, he hurriedly went to the door to guard, for fear that someone would hear this and take Li Shenlan's handle.

It's no wonder that Li Shenlan was angry, the letter of the second elder of the Song family was withheld by the Taiwei for no other reason, it was because Li Shenlan did not report to him the matters he wanted to investigate after entering the palace.

"Can he find out if he wants to?" Li Shenlan closed her eyes with a headache, and sat there thinking with her head propped up.

After entering the palace, she almost never heard anyone mention Li Mingjin, and the only time was ...... Dowager?

Yes, the Queen Mother called Li Shenlan to hand over the Buddhist scriptures that time, and she talked about Li Mingjin. Looking at her appearance, Li Mingjin is a smart person, and even resisted her a few words like himself.

For no reason, Li Shenlan remembered what Concubine Fang Cai Xiang said.

She said that the world belongs to the emperor, and there are so many smart women in the world, but how many of them are really taken by the emperor to heart. Especially a woman who is too smart, it is naturally good for a woman to be smart, but if she is too smart......

The world and the beauty, a fool will choose the latter.

"Will Li Mingjin's death be related to the Queen Mother......

Li Shenlan was just guessing, she wasn't sure. After all, although the royal family said that killing a person is as simple as pinching an ant to death, it will never shoot at will.

"Bang Chun, help me sharpen the ink!"

Li Shenlan's reply unexpectedly fell on Yin Chen's desk, and the letter contained Li Shenlan's guess and her analysis.

Yin Chen had to admit that this woman was smart enough to say that what she said in the letter was inseparable from the truth.

But as Concubine Xiang said, if you're too smart, it's not good.

Thinking of this, Yin Chen found an identical piece of stationery, imitating Li Shenlan's notes and writing word by word.

Because Princess He'an returned to the palace, a family banquet was held in Linhua Hall on the second night. The concubines of each palace have arrived, just waiting for the emperor and the queen mother and the host of the palace banquet to come.

"The eldest princess has arrived, and Princess He'an has arrived!"

As the eunuchs outside the hall sang and cheered, a graceful woman led a childish girl into everyone's sight.

The girl was undoubtedly Princess He'an, with her black and bright hair curled into a cute and playful bun, a pair of big smart eyes under the flowing sea, a hint of cunning flashing under her eyes, and a red, moist little mouth under her small and delicate nose. Coupled with the sweet smile on the baby's fat little face, it is even more well-behaved and cute.

Look at the eldest princess holding the girl, the neckline of a big red silk skirt is very low, revealing a plump chest, her face is like a hibiscus, her eyebrows are like willows, her eyes are more charming than peach blossoms, her skin is like snow, and her black hair is pulled into a high beauty bun, but the hair bun is only decorated with hairpins at will, but it is also beautiful.

Speaking of which, the eldest princess's dress is a bit explicit, and it shouldn't have appeared on a woman who lives in a Buddhist temple all year round.

Everyone stood up and saluted, and the two princesses returned to the courtesy room, except for the concubines in the palace who were too qualified, and the new people in the palace all looked at the eldest princess with a kind of scrutiny and curiosity.

"Xiang Niangniang!"

He Ancai didn't care about any etiquette, and when he saw Concubine Xiang, he immediately threw himself on her.

It's no wonder that He'an likes Concubine Xiang, every time she goes back to the palace in the past, Concubine Xiang jumps up and down with He'an, which is also in line with her temperament.

"Did He'an miss Niangniang?"

Concubine Xiang also loves He'an very much, and she has been a baby with An in the palace for so many years, but it hurts to hold it in the palm of her hand.

"He'an misses Xiang Niangniang, but misses his father even more!"

Speaking of He'an, he entered the palace yesterday, and he never saw Yin Chen, saying that he was busy with political affairs during the day, but at night he said that he wanted to accompany Lan Jieyu, so he didn't have time to see He'an.

Ann has a temper!

Seeing that He'an's eyes were like two grapes, he turned vigorously, looking to both sides from time to time. Concubine Xiang thought she was afraid of the new concubines entering the palace, so she introduced her with a smile.

Concubine Xiang didn't have so many rules, so she started with Lu Xin and the ones who promised to be there. He'an was also happy, and if he didn't order one, he would call "Niangniang" sweetly.

Especially when it came to Wang Jun'er, when he learned that Wang Jun'er had a baby in her belly, He An ran to the front excitedly and curiously, and gently touched Wang Jun'er's belly.

"Does the princess want a brother or sister?"

In the end, the eldest princess, Wang Jun'er is not good at brushing her face and laughing and joking.

But when he heard He'an say that he wanted a little sister, the smile on Wang Jun'er's face froze, and she almost straightened up when she spoke.

Concubine Xiang saw it in her eyes, glared at Wang Jun'er without concealment, and softly called He An back to her.

"This is Lan Jieyu, and He'an wants to call Lan Niangniang."

Thinking that He Anxin was simple, Li Shenlan also smiled and leaned over, but he didn't expect He An to snort coldly when he learned his identity, and ignored Li Shenlan.

For a while, Li Shenlan was embarrassed there, and even Concubine Xiang was stunned and confused.

"And placed presumptuous."

A familiar voice suddenly came to mind outside the hall door, and Yin Chen and the queen didn't know when they stood at the door. Obviously, every detail of Fang Cai's matter fell into Yin Chen's eyes.

"Father! Huang Eniang! ”

finally saw his father, and He'an is a child, where does he have any eyesight, and he doesn't care about thirty-seven or twenty-fold straight and pounces on Yin Chen.

As usual, when he saw He'an running over, Yin Chen would pick him up and kiss him. But this time, Yin Chen didn't say so, and looked at He'an's eyes very seriously.

He An, who was originally smiling, froze there, and raised his head to look at his father's eyes but didn't listen.

"He'an, haven't you forgotten all the rules after being outside for a long time?"

Yin Chen wasn't angry, but his voice sank there. He An can be regarded as being spoiled since he was a child, where has he seen Yin Chen's serious appearance, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Father...... As soon as the father ...... crying, not to mention Yin Chen, the queen on the side and the concubines around him softened their hearts.

But Yin Chen stood there without moving, even if the queen was playing a round next to her softly, Yin Chen was still indifferent.

"Why don't you call Lan Niangniang, you don't understand the most basic rules and politeness?"

Originally, He'an was not only Yin Chen angry about something, but now when he heard this, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and he cried out with a wow.

"I won't shout if I don't shout, my father will forget about He'an when he has Lan Jieyu, and He'an hates her!"

"Yin Jiaojiao, I don't want to repeat it a second time."

Princess He'an's name is almost forgotten by everyone. He An was given a title as soon as she was born, and everyone called her a title to show their love for her.

Yin Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, describes her daughter's family as delicate and cute, and more pampered in her heart. Yin Chen gave her this name, naturally because she liked to pay attention to it. But now because Li Shenlan has changed her delicate face, even Concubine Xiang is a little surprised.

Seeing that his father had shouted his name, He An also knew that his father would not feel distressed if he did this, so he could only get up and walk in front of Li Shenlan with a red nose, and timidly called "Lan Niangniang".

In this way, Li Shenlan sat there quite embarrassed and was in a dilemma, so she could only get up and walk in front of He'an, squatting down and wiping her tears around her.

But He An was prejudiced against Li Shenlan, and he hated her even more when he made such a fuss, and he didn't change Li Shenlan to coax her, so he broke free from his arms and threw himself into the arms of the eldest princess, crying and sobbing.

"Lan Jieyu is so blessed, the imperial brother can even forget about He'an for you."

The eldest princess is ruthless, but she really loves He'an. Seeing that Yin Chen was so partial to Li Shenlan, he naturally hid a knife in his words.

"The princess misunderstood......"

"Alright, let's have a feast. Huang Eniang is not happy, but she can't come, Yunxiu, you take He'an to Shoukang Palace to have a look. ”

Without waiting for Li Shenlan to finish speaking, Yin Chen ordered calmly. Passing by the eldest princess, he looked at her chest with a bad face, and his face was full of displeasure.

The banquet began, but this banquet was originally held for He'an to return to the palace, but now He'an is in a low mood, and everyone is not very open.

The dancers on the dance floor were dancing happily, perhaps because of the slow music, and everyone sat there drowsy.

"Lan Jieyu try this pearl fish shred, I see the incense you used yesterday, so I specially prepared this one."

At the end of the song, there was almost no sound in the hall, and the palace people were serving a new dish, but Yin Chen's voice suddenly sounded.

Wang Jun'er also likes this dish for a while, and because she is pregnant, every time she eats this dish, she has a much less reaction to morning sickness.

Originally, Wang Jun'er thought that Yin Chen had prepared it for herself, but she was happy to hold the chopsticks, but she was angered by Yin Chen's words. Then he directly put the chopsticks away, looking at the dishes on the table, he had no appetite at all, and even wanted to be nauseated.

How did Li Shenlan know this, looking at Yin Chen's heart pretending to be herself, her heart was sweet. In response to the sound, he grabbed the chopsticks, and the resentful eyes behind him couldn't be seen, and he didn't notice the eyes of the two princesses opposite when he lowered his head.

"Hen's sweet and sour tenderloin! You minions must have been careless and missed! ”

He An was angry, and every time she ate, Yin Chen would ask someone to prepare it for her, but this time Yin Chen seemed to only remember what Li Shenlan liked to eat.

Li Shenlan can't afford to mess with her, but can't the palace and An who serves the food still can't be provoked? Angry, He An picked up the porcelain spoon in his hand and smashed it on the head of the palace person. The palace people were in pain but didn't dare to scream, kneeling on the ground and trembling like a sieve begging for mercy.

"He'an, you're getting more and more arrogant!"

Yin Chen's face was very unhappy, although he knew why He An was so abnormal, but Yin Chen, who had always had high hopes for her, was still angry when he saw He An so domineering.

"Father's eccentricity! If you had known that returning to the palace was such a situation, it would be better for He'an to stay in the temple and not come back! ”

"Since you want to go back so much, I will send someone to send you back early tomorrow morning!"

He An wanted to scold but didn't know how to scold to poke Li Shenlan's sore spot, and if he scolded, Yin Chen would definitely get angry, neither left nor right, and He An was angry and smashed wine glasses and plates.

"Someone! Go to the palace gate to prepare the carriage and immediately send Princess He'an back to the temple! ”

"Brother Huang!"

Before the guards outside could react, the eldest princess shouted out.

"The royal brother is so happy that the newcomer Yunxiu is happy for the imperial brother, and He'an, who is used to being wild in the temple, has just returned to the palace and has been snubbed, and it is inevitable that he will be presumptuous, and the imperial brother will not blame."

The eldest princess said three or two sentences, which not only gave the emperor enough face but also gave He'an a step down, which is not awesome.

"I think it's because you and Concubine Liang are too used to her on weekdays, and now she is getting more and more unruly."

Yin Chen's face was still not good, and Li Shenlan sat opposite and looked at He'an's sad and angry face, feeling helpless and embarrassed. Concubine Xiang on the side saw it in her eyes, and kindly patted Li Shenlan's hand, which was considered to be appeased.

"In the final analysis, the people who serve in the palace have no rules, and the imperial brother has already ordered someone to prepare sweet and sour tenderloin but he doesn't know how to serve it."

When the eldest princess said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Li Shenlan, and Li Shenlan didn't know the meaning she conveyed, but what the eldest princess said in the next second made everyone who was doing it shudder.

"Come on, pull down the eunuch who served the food to Princess He'an. The rod will be punished for a hundred, and the punishment will be put into the Xin's library! ”
