In the early morning of the next day, before dawn again, when Chen Lin turned over, he stood at the head of the bed and kicked someone. He woke up with a start, and suddenly lost sleepiness.
"What are you doing standing here?"
With lessons learned from the past, the servant did not wake Chen Lin up this time, but waited by the bed. At this moment, Chen Lin took the initiative to ask a question, and he said: "The seventh prince is here, this is the jade pendant he found for the master."
After speaking, he handed the jade pendant in his hand to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin reached out to take it, observed the texture and pattern of the jade pendant, and only glanced at it before throwing the jade pendant to the servant.
"It's not a good item, put it away first."
The waiter made a sound, and then said something more: "His Royal Highness Seven is living a hard life, and this jade pendant will make His Royal Highness hungry for many days."
Chen Lin didn't say a word. The target person this time is ambitious, but he looks a little tender, and he is not very calm in doing things. If he knows how to use his brain, can he really find something to eat in this huge palace
When all the princes arrived, Chen Lin announced: "I won't be lecturing today. I still remember what I taught you a few days ago. Let me recite them one by one today."
These princes have flexible brains, and they can memorize them after reading a few times. Those who don't like reading very much, such as the eldest prince, can memorize them by holding a book at night, but the seventh prince , Missing a day of class, I don't even know what the content of the subject is.
As soon as Chen Lin raised his hand, he asked the servant to carry out the books he had prepared a long time ago. Hundreds of books were slowly piled up in a large box.
He smiled slightly at the target person: "If you don't memorize it, you will be punished according to the rules. Today, you won't be punished for standing. Instead, you will be punished for copying books. Your Highness Lao Qi will copy all these books. You don't need to listen anymore."
Yu Wenting glanced at the big box of books out of the corner of his eye, and his face turned serious.
"What does Taifu mean? You accepted my jade pendant, are you trying to break your promise?"
"Why did His Highness the Seventh Prince make such a statement? These are all learning. If the Seventh Highness refuses to copy it, it's not impossible..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
Yu Wenting gritted his teeth: "I! Copy!"
Chen Lin smiled brightly: "It's so good."
After speaking, he ordered the servant to carry the box of books to Yuwenting's bedroom.
Seeing the back of the young man walking away quickly, Chen Lin said loudly: "Your Highness, please remember, if you haven't finished copying the books, don't come to attend the class again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lin noticed that the pace of the target person moved faster.
He felt that he was in a good mood. When he had breakfast, he stayed with a few princes. The third prince said he had something to do and couldn't accompany him. Before he left, he dragged the fifth prince away. For a while, only Chen Linhe was left The two eldest princes.
"Your Majesty, don't you have something to deal with?"
The eldest prince stammered: "No, no."
"That's right, let's stay and eat together."
…
As Chen Lin expected, the meal he had with the eldest prince soon spread throughout the harem.
When those court ladies and eunuchs say in private that the high priest values the high prince, they will inevitably bring up some matters between the high priest and the seventh prince, such as "the seventh prince accused the high priest of loving money", "the high priest deliberately made things difficult for the seventh prince", "The Seventh Prince doesn't please the gods" and such topics are too numerous to enumerate.
After these rumors passed, the news that the high priest loved beautiful jade spread like wildfire, and suddenly, more people came to Chen Lin's door to give beautiful jade to Chen Lin.
Regarding this point, Chen Lin did not hide it at all. As long as others gave it to him, he would definitely keep it happily. There was never an exception to reject people.
However, no matter how many beautiful jades he received, Chen Lin only had a soft spot for the fifth prince's jade pendant, and he had never changed the jade pendant around his waist. Many people watched his every move, and even more so. Not to mention the jade pendant hanging around his waist all the time.
On this day, after class was over, the fifth prince had an excuse to stay.
As soon as the others left, Yu Wenmo took off his coat and rolled up the sleeves of his obscene clothes, revealing the wound on his arm.
The wound has scabbed over, but it can still be seen that the injury is very serious. If it is a little bit more biased, it will hit the heart.
"Teacher probably wouldn't have imagined that the eldest brother, who has always been kind and kind, will one day point the arrow in his hand at his brother."
This was really beyond Chen Lin's expectation. In his opinion, the First Prince didn't look like someone who would take action against his brother.
"Maybe it was just carelessness. You also said that the eldest prince is kind and kind, especially for brothers."
Yu Wenmo put down his sleeves and sneered: "It was indeed an accident. If it was intentional, I would be dead right now."
As he spoke, he suddenly took a step forward and held Chen Lin's arms.
"Teacher, you have made it known to everyone that you have dinner with the eldest brother, but you wear the jade pendant that I sent you every day. Your thoughts are really hard to figure out."
Chen Lin suddenly bent down, leaned into the other party's ear and whispered: "You have been pretending to be sick since you were young, and you have worked hard, and all of this is for that position. Now that you have given me the jade pendant first, fight Shouldn't it start too?"
Yu Wenmo was slightly startled, and then his face was filled with ecstasy: "Are you planning to support me?"
Chen Lin did not answer him, but gave an ambiguous answer: "I only support the winner."
Yu Wenmo said firmly: "Okay, I will try my best to be the winner."
Chen Lin laughed softly and said, "It's okay if you're wrong."
Yu Wenmo seemed to have sensed something, followed his line of sight to look out, and saw the First Prince staring at them with a gloomy expression.
"Brother Huang, listen to me..."
Yu Wenhao shook off his hand: "What else do you want to say? Fifth brother, I thought you understood my intentions and wouldn't argue with me, but now... hum!"
After Yu Wenhao left, Yu Wenmo's feigned weakness finally disappeared, and he also turned cold.
"I don't want the throne, just..."
When his eyes fell on Chen Lin's face, he didn't say anything, but changed his words, "But everyone knows that he is the most ambitious."
The high priest represented the gods, and even the emperor asked the high priest to provide advice when he appointed the crown prince. At this time, he hugged his thigh. Who knows whether he really likes the high priest, or if he likes the high priest to help him get that position.
If it is the latter, then the city of his elder brother is really far beyond the reach of others.
After Yu Wenmo left, the servant came up to Chen Lin and said to himself, "Now, the eldest prince and the fifth prince have completely broken up."
Chen Lin glanced at him: "Speak carefully."
The servant quickly covered his mouth: "Yes."
…
The leisurely life seems to pass by like a fleeting horse, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, the surface seemed to be calm, but in fact, under the calm surface, there were dark waves.
Among them, the eldest prince and the fifth prince are the most troublesome. As the eldest prince's biological brothers, the third prince naturally wants to persuade and persuade him, but the eldest prince is used to being straightforward. Once he decides Things, ten cows can't pull back, let alone only one third prince.
However, no matter how violent the princes were in private, Chen Lin seemed to be unable to see the undercurrents, and only focused on his lectures every day.
When I have time, I will also ask about Yu Wenting's situation.
Ever since he sent someone to carry a box of books for Yu Wenting back that day, he has never seen Yu Wenting outside the palace, and he has never seen Yu Wenting attend any group activities among the princes. Hadn't he asked the servant, and heard that Yu Wenting was reading those books day and night, he thought Yu Wenting had fallen ill again.
In two days' time, it will be New Year's Eve, and the palace is extremely lively, with lights and festoons everywhere.
The morning court had already stopped, Chen Lin thought, he should also follow the trend and suspend classes for a few days for the princes, and it would not be too late to start classes after the next year when they were busy with worshiping heaven.
During class, Yu Wenting, who hadn't seen him for a long time, and the little eunuch Qing Shan who served him, carried the big solid wooden box into the dormitory.
For the other princes, if they want to do something, they can just order it. How can they do it themselves like him? However, even if he gave the order, those servants would probably shirk it.
"Teacher please check and accept, there are a total of 218 copies, no more than one and no less."
A heavy solid wooden box was placed in front of Chen Lin.
He casually picked up a book and flipped through it. The handwriting was pretty good, better than that of other princes. Not only was it neat, but there was also a hidden edge in it.
"Yes, since you have completed the task, sit down and listen to the class."
The timing of Yu Wenting's arrival was not coincidental, half of the class had passed, and Chen Lin announced the end of the get out of class after speaking a few more words.
"From tomorrow onwards, your highnesses don't have to come to class. Let's continue the unfinished class in the spring of next year. I will report this matter to your majesty. If there are no other problems, the princes can dismiss the get out of class."
Hearing this, all the princes' eyes fell on Yu Wenting's pitiful face.
Ever since the class started, Yu Wenting hadn't listened to a day's class well, and almost all the classes were missed because of punishment.
Now he has finally gone through twists and turns and ushered in spring, but he never thought that classes would be suspended again.
The third prince patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be angry, it will be the New Year soon, please work harder in the coming year, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Brother Huang."
Yu Wenting forced himself to force a smile: "Thank you, Brother San Huang, but no need, I'm stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it, and I'm wasting Brother Huang's time."
Yu Wenting turned and left with all the princes, but the eldest prince stayed behind.
Just as Chen Lincai led the eldest prince to the dinner table, Yu Wenting came back quietly.
If the system hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have noticed that someone was eavesdropping outside the door.
