Lin Jiaruo slept a little heavily this night, causing it to be night when he returned to the palace.

Lin Zhizhi sent her to the door of the Palm Bead Palace, and the people inside heard the movement and ran out.

"My sister is such a big person, why don't you have any rules at all! How could the girl's family come home so late! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince scolded with a small face.

Lin Jiaruo's heart warmed, and he couldn't help laughing, approached, and reached out to touch his head.

Lin Yuanzhi vigilantly dodged away, frowning and said, "Sister, don't always treat me as a child!" ”

Lin Jiaruo said with a smile: "I went to King Lu's Mansion, I slept in the afternoon, and accidentally overslept, what's wrong?" You and Ah Wei have been waiting for me in the Palm Bead Palace? With a smile, he glanced at Lin Jiawei, who was following behind Lin Yuanzhi.

Lin Jiawei smiled softly and said, "Brother Prince, I heard that my sister had a quarrel with my father, so I went to Zichen Palace, and after I came out, I have been waiting for my sister to come back in the Palm Bead Palace, and no one will persuade me to leave." ”

Lin Jiaruo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "You went to Zichen Palace?" ”

Lin Yuanzhi nodded.

"What did Father say to you?" Lin Jiaruo asked.

Lin Yuanzhi shook his head and said, "Father is talking to Mr., and he didn't summon me!" ”

Lin Jiaruo was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come back too, you and Ah Wei go back and rest!" ”

Lin Yuanzhi glanced at Lin Zhi seriously, and said: "Men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, even if my sister goes to the eldest brother, I must pay attention to proportion, like today, it is really too late to stay, even though I know in my heart that my sister will not have any accidents, but it is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

These words made Lin Jiaruo and Lin Zhizhi both laugh.

"Men and women don't sit at the same table as seven-year-olds?" Lin Jiaruo glanced at Lin Jiawei with a smile and asked, "Then may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how are you Gui Geng this year?" ”

Lin Yuanzhi's face turned red, and he forcibly explained: "I don't mean that you can't sit at the same table, but you must always pay attention to proportion, my sister is going to be in time!" ”

Lin Jiaruo smiled and rubbed his head, and said, "Okay, okay, I know, is the birthday gift ready?" ”

Lin Yuanzhi couldn't dodge this time, and his face showed a little unhappiness: "Of course I'm ready, I'm not a child, can I forget it?" ”

Lin Jiaruo smiled and touched Lin Jiawei's head, and said softly: "Okay, you guys go back, I don't have anything to do here!" ”

She didn't worry about wishing one person to stay in the palace, and it turned out that she was just as worried about her.

He was not his father's only son, and he may not be his mother's only son in the future, but he was always her only brother, and no matter what, she wanted to defend him.

Lin Yuanzhi carefully observed her face again, and then bowed dignifiedly, nodded to Lin Jiawei, and said, "Let's go!" ”

After speaking, Gu Zi turned around and left.

Lin Jiawei was stunned.

Lin Yuanzhi took two steps, saw that she didn't follow, turned around, looked at her suspiciously, and after a while, he suddenly realized, and said: "There is a difference between men and women, although I am your brother, but you are already a big girl, and you have to walk by yourself!" ”

Lin Jiawei responded "yes" aggrievedly and followed slowly.

The two walked forward and backward for a while, Lin Jiawei was really grinding, the distance between the two was getting bigger and bigger, and finally Lin Yuanzhi seemed to be really unable to stand it, took a few steps back quickly, took Lin Jiawei's hand, and walked towards the Chengqian Palace.

Lin Jiaruo stood in place and looked at it with a straight smile.

Lin Zhizhi also looked at it with a smile, touched her head, and said softly: "You should rest early!" ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded obediently.

Lin Zhizhi sent her in, and then turned his gaze to the southeast.

To the southeast, is the Zichen Palace, the residence of the emperor, and the pedestal is higher than other palaces.

On the night of early summer, the sky was full of stars, and the lights in the imperial city were all over the place, and he stood at the door of the Palm Bead Palace, and he could see the northwest corner of the Zichen Hall without any obstacles, standing by the railing.

The man was standing so tall that he must have seen better than he could.

Lin Zhizhi wanted to sneer, but in the end it turned into a bitter smile.

If it is only to preserve the harmony of wishes, he can take the country directly, but in this way, it will still hurt their father-daughter relationship after all.

He really didn't want to see her sad......

……

The second day of April is Lin Jiaruo's birthday.

She is fifteen years old this year, and on this day, it was supposed to be her and the ceremony, because of the filial piety of her grandmother, Lin Shisheng decided to postpone the ceremony to November 13.

Although the ceremony is gone, the birthday can still be passed, at least the gifts must be received.

It's just that because she was too embarrassed when she came out of the Zichen Palace that day, and because she didn't participate in the Zichen Palace for two consecutive days, it may have been rumored that the princess of the Qin Kingdom had fallen out of favor, and judging from the gifts piled up in the Palm Bead Palace, the number was far less than the year before.

Not even as good as last year when I was in Jinling.

Lin Jiaruo didn't care about this, anyway, the ones who were really close to him were sent.

It's just—

"What are you looking for?" Lin Jiaquan asked puzzled.

The sisters all entered the palace early in the morning, on the one hand, they celebrated Lin Jiaruo's birthday, and on the other hand, they also heard that she was not doing well recently, so they came to the palace to accompany her.

By the way, I helped her sort out the gift list sent today.

Lin Jiaquan couldn't understand it, but Lin Jiazhi did, pulled her sister's sleeve, shook her head at her, and lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

If His Majesty the Emperor gave a gift, even if it was not sent by Ling Ximo or Du Zhien, it would be picked out by Xiao Man and placed in the most conspicuous place, how could it be necessary for Ah Ruo to find it?

This is really ruthless, and I didn't even save face!

Lin Jiaruo looked around and also got down.

At this time, Lin Jiaquan said "Huh" and asked, "Why is this pile more than one more on the gift list?" ”

If Lin Jiaruo didn't order to open the eyes, the others would not move, but just help to check the number and enter the warehouse.

"It was sent by Penglai Palace!" Lin Jiaquan said.

Lin Jiaruo glanced up, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to one of the small brocade boxes and ordered, "Take that box!" ”

Xiao Man hurriedly sent it over.

This brocade box is only a few inches square, and it is not very weighty in his hand, Lin Jiaruo held it with both hands, and his whole face lit up.

This year's birthday gift was written to Lin Shisheng when she was in Jiangnan last year.

Because she is an adult this year, she wants him to take a small character for her, use his own handwriting, and engrave it into a private seal.

He should have prepared it a long time ago, even if they didn't see each other coldly in the past two days, they wouldn't deliberately not give it to her, at most, they couldn't pull their faces, and they were sent quietly like this.

When she received a gift, she must go to thank her father......

Lin Jiaruo bit her lip, her eyes were shining, and she couldn't stop rejoicing in her heart.

Gently unflick the buckle of the brocade box with your fingertips and slowly open the lid.

In an instant, the pupils dilated dramatically—

After the morning court dispersed, after the holy car left, the courtiers walked out of the main hall one after another according to their rank.

Lin Zhizhi was the first to walk out, and at a glance he saw Jiang Shao waiting outside the hall.

"Letter from the Duke of Yanmen!" Jiang Shao handed over the letter.

This was sent back by Gan Mingcong, who had marched to the border of Xuanzhou and was waiting for Lu Yunque to come to converge, preparing to capture Xuanzhou first.

After Lin Zhizhi saw it, he was explaining to Gan Bofu, and suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

This person, at this hour, should not appear in the palace, Lin Zhizhi frowned, looked in the direction where the person came, hurriedly ended the conversation, and walked towards the Palm Bead Palace.

Before he could get closer, a scream suddenly came from inside the Palm Bead Hall.

"Aruo!"

Lin Zhizhi's face changed drastically, and he rushed into the hall. (https:)
