In the banquet hall, everyone didn't seem to notice Lin Banxia leaving, and they were still talking and discussing in full swing.

A young staff member couldn't help but whisper: "This Lin Neishi is in charge of the law, don't you know that it is rude to leave early at this banquet specially held for him, and it is also against the law." ”

A slightly older person next to him "shh ”

The young man endured and said, "No, I have to speak to His Highness." Lin Neishi is familiar with the skills of craftsmen and likes the way of arithmetic, so he can be under Mr. Shen. ”

"Hey, you." The person next to him leaned over and said, "You didn't pay attention, just now when I went over to toast, guess what I saw?"

I saw that Rinnaishi had pierced ears. ”

"Huh?" The man froze, "What? ”

"Hehe, let me ask you, what is the name of Rinnai's history?"

"Shanglin, the second half of the summer."

"Then, a while ago, His Royal Highness asked for the title of the countryman who was the inventor of the tofu, what is the name, do you remember?"

The man thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened: "It's also ......"

"Yes." The older man sat up straight, poured himself a glass of wine, and held it up to the young man.

The young man hurriedly raised his glass.

The elder smiled and said, "Your Highness has not been smiling all these years, especially after leaving Beijing, have you ever seen His Highness smile?" ”

As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.

The young man was busy drinking too.

The elder continued, "It's only in the past few days that His Highness has a smile on his face. You haven't heard anything? ”

Xia Changyan was very strict under his control, and the subordinates in the palace never dared to chew the root of his tongue, and the young man obviously didn't know anything.

The elder smiled and said, "Learn more in the future and look more with your eyes." ”

As he spoke, he poured another glass of wine, left his seat and stepped forward, and said to Xia Changyan: "The prince has added another help, and the ministers are very happy."

Here, I wish the prince all his wishes come true, and I also congratulate our young Rinnai Shi ......"

As soon as he spoke, he turned around and said, as if he had just discovered: "Ah, Lin Neishi is not strong enough to drink, so he went to hide from alcohol?" Hahaha, Lin Neishi's child's temperament, don't you know that you can hide from the first year of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth? ”

Xia Changyan knew in his heart that he had not deliberately concealed Lin Banxia's identity before, probably because he was discovered by this subordinate.

I don't mind, but I am pleased with the pun of "I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth".

Smiled and raised his glass: "Come, let's drink." ”

Zhao Chengfu could see it clearly below, and he only felt that Lin Banxia was very good.

A village girl, I didn't find anything special about her in the village before, why did she do everything in person because she was robbed once, and the change was so big, even the prince ......

His heart suddenly stirred, and the rumor from the Lin family suddenly surfaced in his heart.

He didn't believe it before, but what Lin Banxia did was only good for him and not harmful, so he put it aside.

But now that she can disguise herself as a man and become a minister of the palace, now that she thinks about it, is it to bewitch the prince?

Zhao Chengfu's hand trembled, the wine spilled, and he hurriedly picked it up and drank it all.

He didn't notice it for a moment, Xia Changyan glanced at him silently, and then looked away.

Everyone seemed to have just noticed Lin Banxia's absence, and they all laughed, making fun of Lin Neishi's youth, so they changed the topic and talked about other things.

Zhao Chengfu easily stayed up until the end of the banquet before he stood up, and saw Steward Xu and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, the prince is invited." ”

His heart trembled, he settled down, and followed Steward Xu to the study.

Xia Changyan had already changed his clothes and was sitting behind his desk drinking tea slowly.

Zhao Chengfu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen the prince." ”

Xia Changyan said "um", still drinking tea unhurriedly, Zhao Chengfu couldn't help but sweat, and the wine woke up all of a sudden.

Xia Changyan hung Zhao Chengfu for a while, and then said slowly: "Zhao Zhibi, what are you afraid of?" ”

Zhao Chengfu shuddered, avoiding Xia Changyan's gaze.

For the first time, he knew that when Xia Changyan didn't smile, his expression was so gloomy and terrifying.

"Huh?" Xia Changyan didn't wait for an answer, and hummed impatiently.

Zhao Chengfu trembled again, and said weakly: "Your Highness, the lower official, the lower official didn't dare to say anything." ”

Xia Changyan snorted coldly: "What, who won't let you say anything?" Or was it what you were meant to say? ”

Zhao Chengfu's excellent eloquence was completely unable to play in front of Xia Changyan, who had a calm face.

His legs trembled, and he thought to himself, should he tell those rumors? Do you want?

His heart was crossed, he lifted the front of his official uniform, and knelt in front of Xia Changyan: "Your Highness, the lower officials didn't believe those rumors.

Xia Guan originally thought that Lin Da's family was jealous and had a bad heart, so they deliberately spread rumors to frame Lin Xiangjun.

After all, Lin Xiangjun invented tofu to extract white sugar from sorghum straw, which benefited the country and the people.

If it is really an evil ghost, it must be a good evil spirit with a good heart.

It was Lin Xiangjun who contacted His Royal Highness, and the lower officials also thought and thought that ...... My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

But now, Lin Xiangjun has become the internal history of His Royal Highness, entering and leaving the palace in a dignified manner, and in charge of laws and regulations.

Xia Guan thought about it again and again, I'm afraid that it is, I'm afraid it is ......"

Where did Zhao Chengfu dare to say that he was worried that His Royal Highness would be stunned, and he would not dare to say such a rebellious rebellious remark.

He kowtowed, so he didn't see the sharpness that flashed in Xia Changyan's eyes.

"Your Highness, Xia Guan just remembered the rumors, and that day, Xia Guan also saw it with his own eyes, Lin Xiangjun's neck was ...... A red mark. ”

Zhao Chengfu was prostrate on the ground, trembling.

Xia Changyan looked down at Zhao Chengfu for a while, and said warmly: "Zhao Zhibi, this king knows that you are loyal." That's the end of it, you know? ”

Zhao Chengfu shuddered, and immediately said: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan must keep his mouth shut." ”

After saying that, he got up and left backwards.

After Zhao Chengfu left, Shen Cheng and Zhou Sheng walked out from behind the screen.

Xia Changyan snorted and said, "What do the two gentlemen think? ”

Shen Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "The evil theory has always been chasing after the wind and shadows, and it has never been implemented.

His Royal Highness has clearly understood the origin of Lin Xiangjun, and his personality is very different because of the great calamity. ”

Shen Cheng called Lin Banxia Lin Xiangjun, not Lin Neishi, but actually had doubts in his heart.

He continued: "However, Lin Xiangjun seems to know too much. ”

Xia Changyan looked at Zhou Sheng again.

Zhou Sheng said disapprovingly: "It's not good to know more?" Isn't it all good for Your Highness and good for the country?

Tofu, straw refined sugar, soybean oil, koji plow, and arithmetic.

Your Highness, don't say that Rinnai Shi is a living person, what if it is an evil spirit?

The important minister said that even the evil spirits can be subdued by His Highness, and he is willing to dedicate his life's mastery to His Highness and assist His Highness.

It also proves that His Royal Highness is extraordinary, and the future can be expected. ”
