Lin Lanting had a delusion of himself, and when Zhong Lihai's hand was about to touch his arm, he suddenly retreated. His loving face suddenly retracted, and there was some detached and unfathomable emotion as usual......

Lin Lanting's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he calmly clasped his hands into fists and said, "Erchen has seen his father." ”

At the same time, Caide next to him walked over, as if he had just come in from outside the door. At this time, he walked in front of Zhong Lihai, his eyes swept over Lin Lanting, and he nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince." Then he looked at Zhong Lihai and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is here." ”

Lin Lanting lowered his head, his gaze slightly deep.

It turned out that Zhong Lijin was also called.

Oh, he didn't mean to see him alone. It seems that the so-called father-son relationship is just a momentary illusion on his part.

After Zhong Lijin came in, he saluted Zhong Lihai: "Erchen has seen his father. ”

When he saw Lin Lanting also there, he was slightly surprised.

"Get up!" Zhong Lihai turned and sat down on top of the main seat.

Zhong Lijin got up and looked at Lin Lanting, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said, "I didn't expect that the third brother was also there." Some time ago, I heard that the third brother's health was not very good, so he went to the villa to recuperate. The fourth brother was very worried, but fortunately, now that the third brother is safe and sound, the fourth brother is relieved. ”

"I'm tired of the fourth brother, I don't say that my body can be like an ordinary person, but it's still okay to live a long life." Lin Lanting responded politely on the surface, but the coldness in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Zhong Lijin could naturally feel the subtle confrontation in this, but his mood was not affected, and he still said very well: "By the way, the fourth brother has to congratulate the third brother." The marriage hand-picked by the father was with the national teacher. I believe that if you marry the National Teacher, the third brother's body will soon return to normal......"

said congratulations, but the ridicule in his eyes was obviously watching a play.

Thinking about the appearance of seeing Zuoqiu Key that day, I was almost dismantled and eaten by that old woman, it was too terrible.

When it came to marriage, Zhong Lihai above was obviously a little weak-hearted and didn't dare to look at Lin Lanting's expression at this time. Therefore, he immediately changed the topic, took the initiative to divert this matter, and said majestically to Zhong Lijin and Lin Lanting below: "I called you here today to discuss the matter. Less than half of the funds for Yuzhou's disaster relief reached the people, and Su Mian, the prefect of Yuzhou, even concealed and lied about the details of the drought. The real number of refugees is much higher than I imagined......"

Is it really a political matter?

Lin Lanting lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Zhong Lijin, who was next to him, was already impatient and angry: "How can this be reasonable, that father, this Su Mian must be governed." Not to mention corruption and bribery, innocent people's lives are disregarded. ”

"So, I want to know what you think about this?" Zhong Lihai said.

When Lin Lanting heard this, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he spoke: "Father, the sons have never participated in the government politics, and they are not clear about the various distributions in the court. So there is no suggestion......"

"Are you ......" Zhong Lihai looked at him with an expressionless look on his bowed head, and suddenly looked like he was about to be angry, and then endured it, then turned his head and looked at Zhong Lijin again and asked, "What about Jin'er?" You also know what happened in Jingtianfu a few days ago. I am afraid that this matter will be widely implicated......"

Zhong Lijin is accustomed to Lin Lanting's attitude of always liking to go against his father, and he is also secretly happy in his heart.

Father indulges you because of your body, but do you think you can rely on this to continue to do whatever you want?

The more Lin Lanting was so strained with his father, the better it was for him.

So Lin Lanting immediately behaved obediently and made a bunch of his own remarks.

Zhong Lihai was actually not ready to be angry with Lin Lanting, knowing his character, he just pretended. Zhong Lijin was showing his knowledge and unique insights throughout the whole process, so Zhong Lihai didn't ask Lin Lanting any more questions, but just let him stand by until the end of this meeting.

And at the last moment of the discussion, there was no specific discussion of this matter.

Maybe Zhong Lihai already had his own plans in his heart, but he just wanted to hear the thoughts of his two sons. And he just wanted to use this as an excuse to see Lin Lanting in order to know what his physical condition was.

Until the study is gone.

Zhong Lijin, who came out, looked at Lin Lanting and smiled softly: "It seems that the third brother is very satisfied with this marriage!" I didn't even mention it just now. ”

"You really want me to defy my father all the time?" Lin Lanting opened his mouth expressionlessly.

Zhong Lijin immediately laughed and said, "How come? The third brother misunderstood. Actually, I went to see the National Teacher some time ago! ”

Lin Lanting squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Zhong Lijin.

What did he do when he went to the national teacher?

Then I saw him continue: "I don't know what the National Teacher likes? But it is said that there are many male pets in the apse of the national teacher, and a male pet is offered. When I went that day, the back garden of the entire National Teacher's Hall was very lively, and the scene of a hundred flowers was amazing. But for the male pet I offered, the national teacher was also very happy, and immediately took it.

So I think, third brother, your appearance is not at the same level as those vulgar powders. If the National Teacher sees you, where are there so many places left in the backyard? The National Teacher will definitely spoil you. ”

Sounds like a compliment.

But he compared Lin Lanting's dignified prince with those male favorites.

It's obviously a sarcastic sneer.

Lin Lanting's expression was cold, but fortunately he was able to control it. His narrow eyes looked at Zhong Lijin who was smiling in front of him and said: "Fourth brother, I am too worried, this marriage has not been a matter yet, who I will marry in the end, it is not the fourth brother you have the right to decide." Even if it's my father, it's not ...... to say it."

"Huh, really? Then I'm curious, third brother, do you want to resist the decree? A gleam crossed the depths of Zhong Lijin's eyes.

Disrespect for the ......

Isn't that what he's most looking forward to seeing?

"Don't bother the fourth brother to worry about it so much, you better take care of your own affairs!" Lin Lanting turned around and prepared to leave.

Who knew that Zhong Lijin, who was standing behind him, suddenly continued to speak: "It is said that the National Teacher's Hall is very lively tonight, don't you want the third brother to go and see it?" ”

And Lin Lanting on the other end had already left without looking back.

Zhong Lijin stood in place, his expression smiling strangely.

The more Lin Lanting dislikes this marriage, the greater his opinion of his father will be.

And how to dislike this marriage more and more, that is, to reject the national teacher.

So his plan to offer a male pet is really wonderful, both ends can sow discord and finally achieve what he wants.

Yu Xi, who was waiting not far away, watched this scene and hurriedly followed behind Lin Lanting.
