Emperor Cheng Kangdi looked at Li Lin's expression and sighed softly. Vertices

If these words were heard by several other sons, they would have already stepped forward with a happy face, "The son will live up to his father's high expectations", serving tea and snacks. Thirteen are slow and mature, and they are better than having a twisted belly without their brothers, and their temperament is simple...... But if the country wants to be delivered to him, it is necessary to override public opinion.

"I recently observed the new editors of the Hanlin Academy, and one of them, Xu Yuan, was humble and very organized, and he would definitely be a virtuous person who would enter and leave the pavilion in the future. You walk around with him more in private, don't try to learn a little bit of literature and come back, act alone and be a little more spicy, and learn seventy or eighty percent, and I will be relieved. ”

After these words were settled, Li Lin had already determined that Emperor Cheng Kang did have the intention of appointing him as the crown prince, and said respectfully: "Erchen must do his best, but Erchen is worried that rashly approaching the officials of the Hanlin Academy will attract criticism." That Xu Yuan can be praised by his father, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person, but he is afraid that his son will be swept away before he speaks. ”

"I have already let Li Chongshan know, and the matter of letting you open the government system has also been put on the agenda, so you only need to worry about these two things now." Cheng Kandi said majestically.

Li Lin thanked him, and sat down next to Emperor Cheng Kang, "Father and Emperor have recently asked Li Chongshan to review the recital for you?" ”

Cheng Kangdi's face turned cold, and his thick eyebrows frowned, "Where did you hear about it, your mother, or the queen?" ”

"Nobody." Li Lin was shocked by Emperor Cheng Kang's unangry and self-righteous momentum, and hurriedly explained.

Sure enough, seeing that the frost on Emperor Cheng's face had eased slightly, Li Lin pinched the tiger's mouth and continued: "Since Erchen returned to the palace, the mother concubine's heart has been hanging on Erchen, how can she be idle to care about this. Not to mention the queen mother, these are all things that the son inadvertently saw when he returned to Beijing. ”

Cheng Kandi ate tea, fiddled with the tea lid and asked, "Who did you see?" ”

Li Lin glanced outside, Lin Lian was training Xiao Huangmen in the distance, "Erchen saw that Gonggong Lin's father-in-law was carrying a suitcase and came out of the Li Mansion to guess it." ”

Emperor Cheng Kangdi said lightly, "When you were not in the capital, the queen was rarely pregnant, but because your mother had a miscarriage from it, I asked Li Chongshan to approve it in order to appease the queen's maiden family and let them know that no matter what, the queen is still the queen." ”

"No wonder Erchen went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, and without saying a word, the queen mother stared at Erchen in a daze......"

Li Lin left the bed and bowed in front of Emperor Cheng Kang with a look of shame.

"This matter started because of the mother concubine, it stands to reason that the father should punish the mother concubine, but the mother concubine gave birth to the fifth brother and the son for the father, there is no merit and hard work, if the father wants to seek justice for the queen mother, he will punish the son!"

Cheng Kandi said: "I sent her to Xiangshan, it is already a punishment, you get up." ”

Li Lin knew at this moment that Cui Guifei went to Xiangshan not because the palace was burned, but because Emperor Cheng Kang had already had this intention, and he punished him by "rising from the beginning and descending from the dark".

"My son often hears my mother talk about the old things when my father and emperor overpowered my uncles to ascend to the pole, and Li Chongshan assisted my father and emperor for more than a dozen years, but he still has no second heart, and he is worthy of being a loyal minister of my dynasty!"

Emperor Cheng Kangdi laughed at Li Lin's evaluation, "On this day, half of it is supported by Li Chongshan, thirteen, think about it, if one day the sky collapses, will he still guard his piece with all his heart?" ”

Li Lin shook his head silently.

Emperor Cheng Kangdi sat for a long time, got up to leave, and said to Li Lin: "No matter how much trouble a military department writes, it is just a small splash, and it can't set off a big wave." What we need to watch out for are those who can gather and make big waves. ”

Li Lingong sent Emperor Cheng Kang away, and heard him muttering to himself, as if he was mixed with a thousand helplessness and stubbornness.

“…… After fifteen years, they will always walk ahead of me. ”

Li Lin never knew that under his father's powerful shell, he was so fragile that an embroidery needle could knock him down.

……

Since Li Lin made trouble in the Chengping Palace, Ruan Miaoling never saw him come again, and after three days, Emperor Cheng Kang ordered Lin Lian to personally send ten pearls, eight pieces of silk and satin of various colors, three sets of four treasures in the study, and a box of gold leaves, which made a façade of apology.

King Chengping was still ill, and the imperial doctor instructed him to stay in bed to recuperate, so he did not come out to see him.

Princess Chengping took Li Qingping, Li Qingchi and Ruan Miaoling out to thank her, and it was lively outside the palace. When he entered the palace, Lin Lian immediately restrained his expression and said that Cheng Kangdi's apology was like making a fuss.

Li Qingchi was sleepy when he heard it, and Ruan Miaoling couldn't hold back when she heard it, so she dragged Li Qingchi away under the pretext of serving her uncle to drink medicine.

"It's still Cousin Miaoling, just now I saw that Grandpa Lin's mouth was crooked, but he still smiled at his cousin and said slowly. Oh, if Gonggong Lin returns to the palace to complain to the emperor, won't my cousin be punished for a crime! ”

Ruan Miaoling grabbed Li Qingchi, who was about to go back and admit his mistake, "Now you know that you're afraid?" Who was the person who puffed out his cheeks and fought with Li Lin at that time? ”

Li Qingchi twisted the belt of his clothes and said, "Last time, we were in charge, so I dared to quarrel with the Thirteen Princes." But this time it's different, my cousin is slapping the emperor's face like this......"

"Actually, this is what my mother told me to do." Ruan Miaoling whispered in Li Qingchi's ear.

Li Qingchi's eyes widened, "Auntie, how could she?"

Ruan Miaoling didn't dare to tell Li Qingchi the real reason, for fear that she would be even more panicked if she knew, and said with a smile: "Didn't my house be set on fire, my mother has been running around the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Imperial History of the City in the past few days, but she still hasn't found an explanation." The emperor promised us at that time, if there is any difficulty, we can speak at any time, but now he doesn't admit it, and my mother will ...... when she is angry."

"Aunt is mighty!" Li Qingchi looked envious.

Dare to fight with the emperor face to face, I am afraid that there is only Princess Baozhen alone in the world.

"I just pulled you out to prepare to see Miss Cao and Miss Jiang, have you forgotten?" Ruan Miaoling dragged her back to the courtyard.

Li Qingchi "snapped" and slapped his little face, "I just said that I can't think of anything important today, it turns out to be this!" ”

She looked up at the sky, and asked the maid to go around the nearest Li Qingping's courtyard to look at the clock, and it was almost the time when Cao Qin and Jiang Caifu came to visit.

Li Qingchi shouted that he wanted to go back and change into a refreshing and unpretentious clothes to meet the guests, leaving Ruan Miaoling alone.

Someone came to the door, and I happened to meet Ruan Miaoling, and she stopped her.

"Lord Hao and Lord Ren of the Ministry of Rites were ordered to send the roster and portrait of the princess to choose a concubine, and the younger one was about to go in to inform the princess."

Ruan Miaoling nodded and asked him to go quickly, and called Shangwen'er to come to the inverted room quietly.

Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't sit in the living room, standing in the courtyard and looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the big water tank, and when they saw Ruan Miaoling coming, they met each other's eyes and immediately moved away.

Ask to come over quickly.
