"How could the prince think of coming to my Chenwang Mansion today?" Xia Linchen changed into a navy blue robe, walked to Xia Linyi's right side in a few steps, and sat down.

"I thought that I hadn't seen my second brother for a long time, so I came." Xia Linyi replied casually.

"It seems that the second brother is very busy, but I came at the wrong time?" Raising his eyes to look at Xia Linchen's somewhat messy ink hair, Xia Linyi quietly tentatively.

Hearing this, Xia Linchen was shocked in his heart, and secretly said: "I have already changed my robe, and it stands to reason that I will not show my stuffing, why would the other party ask like this." ”

Suddenly realizing that something was negligent, he hurriedly changed his clothes and forgot to arrange the bun on his head.

Hard-headed, pretending to be stupid, laughing: "Haha, of course not, the prince came just in time, it's just-"

"Just what?"

Xia Linchen's face hurriedly showed a look of frustration: "My father punished me for thinking about it behind closed doors, so my younger brother is repenting in the study, reading the Pure Heart Sutra every day, and he is about to become a monk in Putuo Mountain. ”

Xia Linqi sat on the side, silently watching Xia Linchen's performance, not demolishing, not playing.

"It seems that it is not for nothing that the father punished the second brother for grounding."

Seeing that Xia Linchen was stunned by his words, Xia Linyi's eyes turned dark, and then he continued: "In the past, the second brother's eyes only had the matter of the flower street and willow lane, but now it is not easy to say such things. ”

"Hehe, this is thanks to my father, if my father hadn't let me think about it behind closed doors, I wouldn't have understood such a truth." Xia Linchen sneered, and the smile on his face seemed to really thank Xiahou Yu's grounding order in his heart.

"After all, I am the son of my father, I was nostalgic for that flowery and willowy thing before, but now I think about it, it is really too much of a bastard, no wonder the ministers of the court and the central government will denounce me, I know that I am wrong now, and I don't know when my father will forgive me and revoke the ban on me!"

"My father values it the most, and my favorite is you, the prince, can you help me intercede in front of my father~"

Xia Linchen said softly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

But he never looked up at Xia Linyi directly, because he didn't notice the ridicule in Xia Linyi's eyes after his father's words that the most important and favorite was the prince.

"I'm here today to speak for my father......"

When the words fell, Xia Linchen's eyes were shining, and his shining eyes were staring at the other party's mouth tightly, expecting him to say something he wanted to hear.

……

Prince's Mansion

Ling Yu was dressed in brocade clothes and stood beside Xia Linyi.

"Prince, you know that the second prince didn't think about it at all in the palace, why didn't you break him down, or even hide it for him."

Thinking that before entering the Chen Palace, he had already told him everything that happened in the Chen Palace.

I thought that Xia Linyi would take this opportunity to complain to the emperor and suppress the second prince, but he never thought that not only was this not the case, but the master in front of him kept silent and concealed it for him.

"Ling Yu, how long have you been with me?" Without answering, Xia Linyi turned his head to look at Ling Yu and asked.

Although "Eleven Years" didn't understand why Xia Linyi had such a question, Ling Yu still nodded respectfully and replied.

"Eleven years, then in the past eleven years, you have been with me, how do you think my father treats me?"

"Your Majesty, he attaches great importance to the crown prince, and no one can compare with the prince's status in the emperor's mind."

"Hehe...... "Do you think so even so?" Xia Linyi couldn't help but sneer.

Only he knows who his father really cares about, in the entire court, it seems that he is the most favored, but in fact, his father is the most favored in his second brother Xia Linchen.

Although he was not angry, as a prince, he wandered in the willow alleys of the flower street all day long, losing all the royal face, and although half of the ministers in the entire court participated in his book of improper morality and fornication, his father and the emperor only gave him a slight punishment and punished him for a month of grounding.

The purpose behind it is just to let those ministers in the DPRK and China not continue to worry about this matter and give him a quiet environment.

Seeing Xia Linyi's sudden sneer, Ling Yu frowned, deeply puzzled: "Could it be that Ling Yu is not right, but in Ling Yu's opinion, the emperor's favorite is the crown prince, otherwise he would not pass on the crown prince's position to you in the year of the prince's weak crown." ”

When it comes to this, it is really a bit mocking, Xia Linyi's eyes have become deep, and when he thinks of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raise an arc, with self-deprecation.

Xu saw that Ling Yu's eyes were mixed with too much incomprehension, and the past that had been hidden in his heart for many years, he actually wanted to tell the other party.

"The position of the crown prince, speaking of this prince, I really want to thank someone" At the moment when Ling Yu raised his head and looked at him, Xia Linyi continued: "That waste lady in the General's Mansion Mu Xiqing. ”

"She?" Ling Yu was puzzled, with the puzzle in his heart, and slowly opened his mouth to ask: "The prince is sure that it is not Miss Mu Er who wants to thank her, but the eldest lady who was dismissed by you before she even entered the door." ”

Ling Yu thought that in front of the Prince's Mansion that day, although Mu Xi was ugly and shameless, and was useless, but after receiving the prince's letter of resignation, he was unusually timid and cowardly, and hit his head on the stone lion in front of the door, which was also impressive.

Xia Linyi nodded slightly, very sure, and continued: "Back then, the crown prince was only seven years old, and I still remember that day the emperor's grandmother suddenly had a heart disease, and his father's personal father-in-law Li Zhong brought a woman into the palace from nowhere, and in a short period of time, he suppressed the condition for the imperial grandmother, and even took the woman to live in Cining Palace for a few days, and I was close to the imperial grandmother because I was young at that time, so I stayed there every day and got along with that woman for several days.

It wasn't until later that the woman left that I knew that she was the wife of Mu Jiangyi in the General's Mansion, and then in the next half a year, the lady gave birth to a daughter, it turned out that she was pregnant at that time, and then after she entered the Cining Palace for the second time, I inexplicably had an extra fiancée, I don't know why she chose me, but in a certain conversation between the father and the imperial grandmother, I overheard their conversation, the imperial grandmother said that the lady had only one request, her daughter must marry the prince, and she, I am the chosen one. ”

Telling the secret that had been shelved in his heart for many years, Xia Linyi felt a lot more relaxed for a while, and after Ling Yu listened, the whole person went from being at a loss to being surprised, and then to being surprised at this time.

The year Ling Yu followed Xia Linyi happened to be the year when he was named the crown prince, so Ling Yu actually didn't know much about the things before Xia Linyi, so he thought that he could be named the crown prince just because the emperor valued him.

"It's not ridiculous for you to say, my position as the crown prince is all because of a woman, a marriage contract, but now I have divorced that woman." Xia Linyi said with self-deprecation.

"The prince shouldn't think like this, all the ministers in the court are obvious to all to see the prince's talents, and the vast majority of them support you because of the prince's excellence, and that Miss Mu is indeed ugly and shameless, useless, and she is not worthy of the prince at all because of her bad reputation, it doesn't matter if she is divorced, only a woman like Miss Mu Er can barely match the position of the crown princess."

If Mu Xiqing heard Ling Yu's words, he would definitely spitt and squirt over, yes, Miss Ben is not blind, she really can't look down on such a stallion, saying that I am not worthy of him, rare, such goods are still reserved for the best goods like Mu Xiyan-

"Ugly and shameless, is it useless?" Xia Linyi muttered and asked himself.

I couldn't help but think of the general's mansion that day, the Mu Xiqing I saw, the stunning face, the fierce momentum, and the sentence she whispered to herself in her ear later: "I also know the ambition of the prince, all of them are in——"

Thinking about it now, Xia Linyi couldn't help but be frightened and faintly afraid.
