Chapter 153: All kinds of scares
King Yi's luxurious carriage appeared at the gate of the Guogong Mansion and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
When Lin Zhuohua came out with the white jade and red beads, he saw Li Zeyi standing outside the carriage, looking at him with a smile.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she stepped forward.
"Let's go, I've already booked a boat."
Lin Zhuohua put his hand on his slender hand, and then borrowed his hand to get into the carriage.
Li Zeyi then followed closely, and Bai Yu and Hongzhu were arranged in the carriage where Lin Zhuohua was originally going to sit.
There were a lot of people who went out of the car, Lin Zhuohua was helped out of the carriage by Li Zeyi, and he saw some familiar faces from a distance.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Yi, Lord Ronghua."
Now there is no one in Beijing who doesn't know the two of them, one is favored by the emperor, and the other is favored by the queen mother and the queen, neither of whom they can offend. Especially now that Lin Zhuohua and King Yi are fiancΓ©es, naturally no one dares to provoke them.
Li Zeyi always looked indifferent and arrogant to others, and he only nodded slightly: "Get up." β
Then when he looked sideways at the little girl beside him, the indifference in his eyes receded in an instant, and he was covered by a soft light.
"Let's go, the boat has arrived."
Lin Zhuohua didn't like these flattering people coming over, so he nodded and handed over the matter of dealing with these people to him. may be because Li Zeyi's murderous reputation is outside, and these people who want to please just say hello and retreat with interest.
Li Zeyi took Lin Zhuohua's hand and got on the largest and most beautiful painting boat parked by the lake.
The people who remained on the shore had different expressions in their eyes. There are those who envy and those who are jealous.
"This Lin Zhuohua is really lucky, he was divorced by the prince, and he was even able to be married to King Yi by the emperor."
Although King Yi's reputation is not very good, who makes the family the emperor's favorite son. This master is walking sideways in Shangjing, and if anyone is not pleasing to the eye and killed him directly, the emperor will find one hundred and eighty reasons to clear him.
"But they're quite compatible, one is a fool with empty beauty and no brains, and the other is a gentleman who only eats, drinks and has fun."
The following discussion continued, but no one dared to speak loudly. In fact, it was only because of jealousy, and when the boat left the shore, the people dispersed.
Li Zeyi didn't care about the following discussion at all, even if he heard it, he would treat it as a joke. Many people have the psychology of eating grapes, and he has never taken it to heart.
On the painting boat, Lin Zhuohua lazily leaned on Li Zeyi's arms, enjoying his feeding.
Bai Yu and Hongzhu stood behind a little speechless, is it really good for King Yi to be so accustomed to his own young lady?
Originally, my own young lady was already very lazy, and I am afraid that one bite will only get worse.
Watching the musicians below dancing, Lin Zhuohua raised his chin slightly and said, "Lin Youran has already persuaded the prince over there, at least we don't have to guard against him for the next period of time." β
Li Zeyi fed a grape into her mouth, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It's okay, but you can't be too relaxed." β
By the time he asks for his order, I'm afraid their alliance will soon collapse. Once he has military merits, the palm of his hand is even more justified. His second brother, who regarded him as a thorn in his side, was afraid that he would want to kill him immediately.
Lin Zhuohua pursed her lips, she remembered that in her previous life, the border would soon be turbulent. Remembering that he said that he wanted to ask for his life to go on the expedition, she was faintly worried in her heart.
"You're right, the prince is not a man who keeps his promises. Earlier, you said that you wanted to wait until there was a war to ask for an order, but this was an opportunity to test the prince. β
Hearing Lin Zhuohua's words, Li Zeyi was a little interested and asked, "How to say it?" β
"No one should know that the poison in your body has been cured, and you continue to pretend to be weak. When the time comes, please go on the expedition and see what the prince will do! β
Li Zeyi looked at the little girl like a little fox, with a little doting in her eyes, and reached out and pinched her little nose.
"What a cunning little fox."
He immediately understood the meaning of Lin Zhuohua's words, whether the prince prevented him from going on the expedition or encouraged him to go on the expedition, he could see that the prince was not sincere about this alliance.
If he is prevented from going on the expedition, he should be afraid that he will take this opportunity to gain military power. But if you encourage him to go on the battlefield, it is to hope that something will happen to him on the battlefield. After all, his health is not good, and that is something that everyone in Shangjing knows.
But if you think about it, it seems that no matter what the prince does, it is not quite right......
The corners of Lin Zhuohua's mouth rose, leaning on his arms, playing with the jade pendant he hung on his waist, and his slightly lowered eyelids blocked the look in his eyes.
"The prince is very suspicious, whether you take the initiative or avoid it, he will not let you go. In that case, let's take advantage of the fact that he doesn't come to find trouble. β
Li Zeyi felt a little distressed in her heart, the innocent and happy little girl in the previous life seemed to have disappeared, and the little girl in this life put aside her innocence, but she was more able to live wantonly and live for herself.
"Yes."
Lin Zhuohua peeled a grape, put it in his mouth, and looked at him with moist eyes: "You have to promise me that if you really go on the expedition, you must ensure your own safety." β
Li Zeyi knew what she was worried about, he had never been to the battlefield, even if he had commanded secretly, but he really went to the battlefield differently.
He reached out and rubbed her long hair, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "I won't leave you alone." β
In his last life, what he regretted the most was that he didn't fight for it, and he didn't come in time to save her when she was in the most difficult time. In this life, he will never let go, and he will definitely protect her for the rest of his life.
The two of them were tired of crookedness, and suddenly the painting boat shook.
Li Zeyi frowned slightly, pulled Lin Zhuohua to get up and walked outside. As soon as they went out, they saw another painting boat colliding with their painting boat, and a few people also came out of the other painting boat.
This look is really an acquaintance, the fifth prince is standing beside the prince, and behind the prince are some talented young masters in Beijing. Among them was Fu Chongming, the eldest young master of the Fu family who went to the Lin family to propose marriage, and his face changed slightly when he saw Lin Zhuohua.
"It turned out to be King Yi's painting boat, and it was really fateful." When the prince saw Li Zeyi, he remembered what he had promised Lin Youran, and a warm smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were dyed with a bit of sincerity.
Li Zeyi looked at the prince, and his attitude was a little softer: "My brother has seen my second brother." β
The prince jumped his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect this Li Zeyi to even change his title. Since everyone is like this, he naturally can't be like the same as before. Even though he was reluctant in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
There are many people today, and soon this matter will reach the ears of my father. His attitude towards Li Zeyi has changed, and his father will be very happy, so that his impression of him can also be better.
"Why don't you come over with us, fourth brother?"
He didn't seem to see Lin Zhuohua beside Li Zeyi, and directly ignored people. After all, the relationship between the two was an unmarried couple in the past, but now this person has become his future brother and sister, no matter how you look at it, it is a little embarrassing.
Lin Zhuohua didn't take the prince's blind eye to her at all, but she thought it was good.
"In the past?" Li Zeyi didn't answer directly, but looked sideways at the little girl next to him and asked softly.
Some of the young masters of the family standing behind the prince were surprised, King Yi, who had always been cold and gentle, and was not close to women, would speak to a woman so gently.
"It seems that King Yi cares about the county lord of Ronghua very much, and he will develop in the direction of wife and slave in the future, even such a little thing has to ask the county lord."
Suddenly, someone spoke, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.
Although Dajing is exceptionally open to women, in the end, women are still weaker. Most women are still below men, and few Li Zeyi cares so much about his fiancΓ©e.
Lin Zhuohua glanced at the man who spoke, she had a memory, this person was the son of a confidant of the prince. There are some small talents, but they are a wall-to-wall character.
Li Zeyi glanced at the person who spoke lightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "What's wrong with this king listening to his fiancΓ©e?" β
No one expected King Yi to answer like this, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
The corners of Lin Zhuohua's mouth turned up slightly, and a coquettish smile appeared on his bright face. She tilted her head and looked at him.
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited, let's go over."
The crown prince had already invited them, and they had just reached an alliance, so naturally they would not fail to give him face at this time.
Li Zeyi nodded when he heard this, and walked over from the board set up between the two painting boats.
The prince's gaze fell on Lin Zhuohua's body at this time, and he was amazed at a glance. Today's Lin Zhuohua is wearing a long red skirt, the cuffs and neckline are embroidered with gold threads, and the corners of the skirt are embroidered with large peony flowers. As she walked, it was as if she was alive.
She is already beautiful, but as she gets older, she seems to have grown a little, and she can't take her eyes off it.
The prince still felt a little sorry in his heart, the Lin family would not let the concubine and the concubine marry into the East Palace at the same time no matter what. Whenever there is one possibility, even if he doesn't like Lin Zhuohua very much, he will admit her into the East Palace, after all, there are indeed few people who can catch up with her beauty.
As the prince of the East Palace, the best things in the world should be his, including beauties.
Feeling a cold and unhappy gaze fall on him, the prince turned his head and saw Li Zeyi looking at him with a condensed expression. He coughed lightly and spoke.
"Let's go in first."
Walking into the painting boat, Lin Zhuohua found that many young ladies from the family were also there. As for those on the shore, they are all the children of some petty officials, and they are not qualified to go to the prince's painting boat.
Some of the ladies of the family sitting in the painting boat saw King Yi carefully helping Lin Zhuohua in, and a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes. No matter what the reputation of King Yi outside, it is enough for a woman to be so deeply favored by her future husband to make them envious and jealous.
The conversation outside was loud, and they could hear it even when they were sitting inside. So everyone looked at Lin Zhuohua with a little envy.
Lin Zhuohua inadvertently glanced at the young lady in the painting boat, and was stunned when he saw Xue Zhen'er. I didn't expect her to get on this painting boat, but I thought that she was the prince behind her, so I explained it.
When Xue Zhen'er saw Lin Zhuohua, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. In the academy, Lin Zhuohua no longer goes to the medicine hall, she is still the first person in the medicine hall, but this first person can no longer bring her pride, because this first person is not wanted by Lin Zhuohua.
Now that she can be liked by the prince, she feels that she is one level higher than Lin Zhuohua. But who knew that when he turned his head, Lin Zhuohua was given a marriage to King Yi, who was the future Princess Yi. Even if she enters the East Palace, she is just a concubine.
Lin Zhuohua didn't care what Xue Zhen'er thought at this time, she followed Li Zeyi to sit at the top, only slightly lower than the prince.
The prince looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Go on, let's have some fun today." β
Xue Zhen'er sat beside the crown prince with her back straight. With a coquettish smile on her face, she poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of the prince.
Lin Zhuohua raised her eyebrows, she didn't seem to have heard that there were newcomers entering the East Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, is this a new beauty?"
Xue Zhen'er's hand holding the wine jug paused slightly, she is now following the prince, but she doesn't have any name. How not to feel uncomfortable in her heart, now she was lifted out by Lin Zhuohua in person, which made her feel very embarrassed.
When the prince heard this, he looked at Lin Zhuohua, and then looked at Xue Zhen'er, who was slightly hanging her head, the corners of the girl's eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be a little aggrieved. He raised an eyebrow, reached out and pulled the man into his arms, and smiled.
"This Lord of Ronghua who wants to come also knows, she is still a classmate of your academy."
Lin Zhuohua showed a surprised look when he heard this, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly said: "This person is really different when he dresses up, and the courtiers don't even see that it is Xue Zhen'er." β
Xue Zhen'er hung her head slightly, trying her best to make her voice sound calm, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and wanted to firing her.
"Lord Ronghua is a noble person, naturally he can't remember ordinary people like me."
Lin Zhuohua chuckled when she heard this: "Miss Xue is really a little self-aware, no wonder she can get into the eyes of the prince." β
The prince glanced at Lin Zhuohua and smiled: "Zhuohua's mouth is becoming more and more clever, and I am embarrassed to look up at what Zhen'er said." β
Lin Zhuohua looked at the prince when he heard this, tilting his head and looking innocent: "What I said is just the truth, the prince is preparing to include Xue Zhen'er in the East Palace?" β
Everyone watched Lin Zhuohua talk to the prince, and no one dared to interject, after all, the relationship between the two was not ordinary, at least they had been an unmarried couple for so long.
When the prince heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, he squeezed Xue Zhen'er's hand, and said lightly: "This is natural, at least Zhen'er is not in time for now, and when she and Lu Gu will take her into the East Palace." β
Xue Zhen'er was overjoyed when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at the prince with affection: "Your Highness......"
The prince patted her hand, with tenderness and pampering in his eyes: "Don't worry, Lone will not live up to you." β
Lin Zhuohua looked at the two of them with an affectionate look, and the corners of his mouth twitched. suppressed the nausea in his heart, I don't know how Lin Youran would feel when he saw such a scene.
Li Zeyi looked sideways at the little girl beside him, and a smile crossed his eyes. According to the information he gathered, the crown prince was not ready to include Xue Zhen'er in the East Palace at all. Although he promoted Xue Zhen'er's father to the Tai Hospital, he did not intend to accept Xue Zhen'er, but was ready to marry Xue Zhen'er to one of his henchmen.
And her own little girl must also know this, and today's action is to force the prince to include Xue Zhen'er in the East Palace. Although he didn't know why she had to let that Xue Zhen'er enter the East Palace, he wouldn't ask more, she had her own reasons.
Lin Zhuohua looked at the delighted Xue Zhen'er, and the corners of his mouth curled.
Xue Zhen'er is a real villain, and she knows how to heal. There is no shortage of looks and scheming. If she enters the East Palace, it will be really lively over there.
She just wants to make the prince's backyard chaotic, so that he doesn't have so much energy to trouble Li Zeyi.
Lin Youran, Mu Wanyu and Xue Zhen'er, the three little white flowers, came together, it was really funny, who would have the last laugh?
Fu Mingxuan, who was sitting next to the fifth prince, kept his eyes on Li Zeyi, and he never moved away from him when he came in. is so blatant, aren't you afraid that the five princes will be angry?
She glanced at the five princes, and sure enough, she saw that the other party's face was not very good, but she didn't say anything.
Lin Zhuohua's hand hidden under the table pulled Li Zeyi's sleeve, and whispered when the other party came over: "Fu Mingxuan is looking at you." β
Li Zeyi was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked in the direction of Fu Mingxuan, and sure enough, he saw the other party looking at him. A flash of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly.
"What is Miss Fu doing looking at this king like this? Could it be that this king has flowers on his face? β
Lin Zhuohua almost squirted out of the water in her mouth as soon as she drank it, but she also choked and coughed.
Li Zeyi immediately frowned and gently patted her back to help her calm down.
Fu Mingxuan's face was all over again, and she was very embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her. Seeing that the fifth prince also frowned and looked at her, he moved the corners of his mouth and explained.
"The courtiers didn't look at you, King Yi, but at Lord Ronghua. The dress she wore today was very beautiful, and she wanted to ask where she bought it. β
She can't admit that she is looking at Li Zeyi in front of so many people, otherwise neither her father nor the fifth prince will let her go. She secretly contacted the fifth prince and had already angered her father.
Lin Zhuohua finally relieved himself, and snorted coldly when he heard Fu Mingxuan's words: "Does Miss Fu think I'm blind?" Are you looking at me or King Yi can't tell the difference? β
Fu Mingxuan was choked by Lin Zhuohua's words, and his eyes for help fell on the five princes.
Although the fifth prince was unhappy in his heart, when he thought of the crown prince and Prime Minister Fu Cheng, he could only suppress the resentment in his heart, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Huang should have seen it wrong, Xuan'er has now married her younger brother, how can she keep looking at you." Saying that, he held Fu Mingxuan's hand, with a bit of affection in his eyes: "Besides, my brother and Xuan'er are together because they like each other." β
Fu Mingxuan immediately put on a look of affection, hanging his head shyly.
Looking at the deep spy love between the two of them, the corners of Lin Zhuohua's mouth hooked up a mocking arc.
