Emperor Mingzong didn't keep them any longer, but when he left the door of the imperial study, the prince said that he asked Li Yan to go to the prince's mansion to discuss the Qingmiao Law and the Qingmiao payment.

Of course, what the prince hoped most was to take Lin Ruoye to the prince's mansion with him, but he didn't dare, even if he used Su Muqing or Lingkang as an excuse, he didn't dare. Emperor Mingzong had already mentioned him, and he didn't dare to be accused of disobeying his father as soon as he left the door of the imperial study.

Lin Ruo glanced at Li Yan and frowned imperceptibly, but there was no squeak.

Li Yan arched his hand and said: "The prince is worried about the people of Sheji, which is really a blessing for the imperial court. Thanks to the prince's love, the grass people should not have shirked, but recently, the Lin family is on the cusp, and Princess Rong has been repeatedly blocked and disrespectful on the road. Princess Mengrong of the grass people did not give up, and Princess Rong called her 'brother', and she should fulfill her brother's duties. I also asked the prince to forgive me, Rong Caomin first escorted Princess Rong back to the palace, and then came to the prince's mansion to apologize for his crimes, and served the prince as a dog and horse. ”

The prince narrowed his eyebrows, Li Yan was not a refusal, so he couldn't find the fault, but it inexplicably made him feel unhappy. Considering that it is not far from the imperial study, if the attack occurs at this time, it will immediately reach the ears of Emperor Mingzong, and let people with a heart chew a few words, and it will directly evolve into he, the prince, who is dissatisfied with the emperor; At the same time, he also saw that Li Yan was also a person with some ability, and with Lin Ruo's support behind him, it was equivalent to indirectly having the emperor's support, and he couldn't tear his face.

But he couldn't swallow this breath!

A grass man with no merit and no reputation dared to refuse him as a prince!

Zhang Xu hurriedly spoke out of the round: "Your Highness, Princess Rong's safety is important. Moreover, it is not early today, and it is not convenient to invite Li Gongzi to the Prince's Mansion. Besides, even if Gongzi Li has any opinions on the implementation of the Seedlings Law and the allocation of Seedlings funds, His Royal Highness has to allow Gongzi Li to sort out his thoughts in order to sort out the effective terms, right? ”

These words of hiding needles in the cotton not only regained the prince's face, but also stumbled Li Yan, which suddenly made the prince's heart feel much more comfortable.

Mr. Zhang said politely. Li Yan, the emperor recognized your talent, that is a great honor. Since you have some understanding of the Seedlings Law and the Seedlings Method, and have been in business for many years, you must have a lot of insights. The prince raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, "It's really late today, and Lone is not an inconsiderate person, so you send Minhui back to the palace first." As for coming to the Prince's Mansion, I am not in a hurry for this time and a half. Think about the way that is beneficial to the court and the people, and come to Lone's house tomorrow, and listen to your opinions. ”

The prince deliberately bit the word "court", and the meaning he wanted to show was self-evident - in addition to the benefit of Baixin, the benefit of the court is the most important; And the most important thing that is beneficial to the imperial court is to be most beneficial to him.

Moreover, the time ends tomorrow.

It is difficult for a strong man, a small belly and chicken intestines.

But what can be done? He's a prince!

Lin Ruo and Li Yan both glared at Zhang Xu with great displeasure, and then they had to thank the prince insincerely, and watched the prince and Zhang Xu leave, and then they raised their steps and walked towards the palace gate.

It's just that the complacent prince who walked in front didn't notice the eyes of Zhang Xu and Lin Ruo when they bowed and retreated, passing by - although there were several twists and turns, they finally took a crucial step in the direction they had agreed in advance.

"Where's the grass?"

Lin Ruo looked around left and right, but found no trace of the grass, so he asked the little eunuch beside him.

"If you go back to Princess Rong, Sister Youcao has some discomfort in her stomach, so she went to Gongfang, and she hasn't come back yet."

Lin Ruo nodded knowingly and said no more. The little eunuch said in his heart that Princess Rong had a good temper, and he had been thinking about Youcao going to Gongfang for a long time, and he was hesitating whether to propose to Princess Rong, and someone called for it - after all, it was really not good to let the master wait for the slave maid. Fortunately, before the words came out, the figure of Youcao appeared, and when he saw that Lin Ruo had already left the imperial study, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for guilt, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead were not wiped.

"Are you alright?"

"If you go back to the princess, the slave and maid are fine."

Lin Ruo's gaze looked at Youcao for a moment before he walked away. Li Yan followed behind, and Youcao fell behind, giving the little eunuch a grateful look, and then chased after him.

He was silent all the way, until he got into the carriage and went out of the palace gate, Lin Ruo instructed the coachman to go to the Lin Mansion first.

Li Yan wanted to avoid suspicion, he couldn't ride in the same carriage with Lin Ruo, and only by returning to Lin Mansion could he have the opportunity to discuss the next countermeasures. Anyway, she had already "confessed" to the emperor about the internal and external troubles that the Lin family, which was on the cusp of the storm, would not mind that she would go to Lin Qian as soon as she left the palace.

The carriage walked leisurely and turned into the street, the noise outside the carriage became lively, Lin Ruocai pulled through the grass and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

Youcao took out a lump of brocade from his arms, shook it carefully, and returned the piece of Xiuyu inside to Lin Ruo, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "According to Miss's instructions, the slave maid went to the Internal Affairs Office to find Manager Zhang, saying that the slave maid was careless, and left a gap in the jade pendant left by the eldest lady to Miss, and asked him to find a way to fill the gap." ”

Lin Ruo let out a faint "um", and his fingers rubbed on the newly knocked gap of Xiu Yuyu's pendant intentionally or unintentionally, although the gap was not obvious, but after a closer look, he could find that the damaged small corner had damaged the original back cloud pattern: "What did he say?" What did you hear? ”

The head of the Internal Affairs Office, Mr. Zhang, was the one who received Lin Ruo's favor at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Although it was an unwarranted disaster that time, because of Lin Ruo's thoughtfulness, he clearly asked the emperor to punish him for a month, but secretly, he got on the line with Chen Guan and Chen Gonggong in front of the emperor. Chen Guan euphemistically conveyed the emperor's praise to him, which flattered Mr. Zhang. Although he lost face at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor remembered that he had been wronged, which was worth it.

Manager Zhang knew that Youcao was Lin Ruo's personal maidservant, so he naturally treated her with a pleasant face and responded to her needs, although he did not find a way to repair Xiuyu's jade pendant for the time being, but he also let Youcao hear some news.

"The slave told Manager Zhang the origin of this jade pendant, and begged him if he could find a way to find the same jade material and fill the gap, but Manager Zhang didn't push back, so he went to check the old files."

But all the rewards and expenses in the palace will be recorded, and the materials, craftsmen, origins, surplus materials, etc. will be recorded in detail.

"This Xiuyu was presented from southern Xinjiang, and the emperor liked it very much, and he personally painted the pattern, and the craftsmen in the palace carved it into a one-to-one identical jade pendant."

"What a couple." Lin Ruoxiu frowned slightly, "Do you know who the other jade pendant was given to?" ”
