On the first day of the new year, after all the princes went to greet Emperor Qin, they went to the high priest's bedroom.
Chen Lin ordered people to move Concubine Zhang to lie in the yard, basking in the sun and kowtow melon seeds.
The sun is just right in this season, which can drive away the cold and cold without making people feel too hot and unbearable.
Time seems to be slowed down, revealing a taste of the quiet years.
The First Prince and the Third Prince came first. After chatting with Chen Lin for a while, they went to Concubine De's bedroom to pay their respects. The Fifth Prince came later.
Knowing that he loves beautiful jade, the fifth prince came over this time and found another piece of beautiful jade for him.
The Fifth Prince handed him the beautiful jade, and said casually: "Is the Grand Tutor tired of the jade from earlier? Why didn't you wear it today?"
Chen Lin said casually, "I got up late today, so I forgot."
The sun made him feel lazy, and even his tone became a little lighter.
Compared to the previous eagerness to wear the jade gifted by the fifth prince all day long, Chen Lin's attitude at this moment is as if a basin of ice water is pouring down his head.
Seeing that Chen Lin refused to reach out, Yu Wenmo directly stuffed the jade pendant into Chen Lin's hand.
"Teacher, but what is wrong with this palace?"
Chen Lin looked up at him and laughed softly.
"I didn't expect our fifth prince to have a heart that is more sensitive than my daughter's family."
Because of Chen Lin's words, that sickly pale face quietly showed a faint blush, which was especially obvious under the sunlight.
The fifth prince suddenly grasped the pair of pure white jade hands resting on the couch, and murmured: "What the elder brother can do, so can I, I just hope that the grand master can stand by my side and help me." A helping hand."
Chen Lin stared at the hands of the two who were clasped together. After a while, he motioned for the other party to come closer.
The Fifth Prince moved his face closer, the closer he got, the deeper the redness on his face.
Chen Lin ignored the other party's charming thoughts, lowered his voice and said: "Since you want to be in the position, you have to do whatever you can, can you do it?"
When Yu Wenmo heard this, he suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and nodded repeatedly: "Of course I can do it."
"Well, go and investigate the cause of the fourth prince's death. Remember, don't let the third prince and the first prince know."
Yu Wenmo was startled for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Could it be that the death of the fourth emperor brother..."
He couldn't continue speaking the rest of the words, a white finger pressed against his lips, silencing him.
After a while, Chen Lin withdrew his hand, Yu Wenmo stood up, strode outside, and stopped pretending to be sick.
Chen Lin knocked two melon seeds, and shouted out of the yard, "How long do you want to stand outside?"
There was no movement outside, Chen Lin waited very patiently.
After waiting for about a quarter of the time for burning incense, there was a sound from the entrance of the courtyard, and the Seventh Prince Yu Wenting walked in slowly.
"The High Priest knows that Ben Gong is eavesdropping outside and dares to hook up with Brother Wuhuang. He really has nothing to fear. Could it be that the High Priest is not afraid that Ben Gong will poke in front of Emperor Father?"
Chen Lin spat out the melon seed husks in his mouth, and then said calmly: "If His Highness really wants to poke it out, why are you still standing in Weichen's courtyard at this moment?"
Yu Wenting was immediately annoyed: "You really don't dare to be my palace?"
Chen Lin frowned: "I didn't say that His Highness dared not, I just asked Your Highness, why didn't you go?"
Seeing that the target person was blocked by him and speechless, Chen Lin held back his smile and continued: "Your Highness, if you don't file a complaint, could it be that, like your big brother and fifth brother, you are going to serve the humble minister with your body in exchange for the humble minister?" help?"
"You, you are shameless."
Chen Lin sat up and leaned towards Yu Wenting with most of his body. For a moment, their faces were almost pressed together.
Seeing that the face of the target person became more and more ugly, Chen Lin smiled and said, "Your Highness, this minister has guessed his mind, and you are getting angry from embarrassment?"
His body was suddenly pushed away, and he rolled down from the couch, and the palms on the ground were cut by sharp stones.
Chen Lin couldn't hold back hiss, and saw the other party frowned, as if he was a little nervous, and wanted to come over to see the wound on the palm of his hand, but because of face, he refused to move his feet. With such a face and this awkward look, it was like gently scratching his heart with a feather.
Originally, it was just a scratch, not a big deal, but Chen Lin showed a look of pain.
Yu Wenting said coldly: "Don't pretend, it's just a cut, how painful can it be?"
Chen Lin didn't care about him, he clasped his hands and screamed for pain.
Yu Wenting stood in a stalemate for a while, and finally walked towards him.
Without waiting for the other party to hold his hand, Chen Lin stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the other party's waist, and pulled him into his arms.
He looked like a prodigal son, pinched the chin of the target person, looked at the face left and right, and said with a smile: "To be honest, among the princes, your highness has the most beautiful face. If His Highness is willing to commit himself to the minister, I will definitely help His Highness with all his strength."
Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject abruptly: "I heard that Your Highness has inherited the face of the late Mei Guiren. At the beginning, Mei Guiren committed herself to His Majesty for the sake of imperial power. Now that Your Highness has such a face, why not imitate yours?" mother."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Lin was slapped heavily, and his head was turned away.
Chen Lin covered his burning cheeks, looked at the back of the Seventh Prince walking away, and laughed softly.
System: [Host, you don't hurt, you can still laugh, this slap hurts me even hearing it.]
"You'll know if it hurts after you try it."
System: [However, a slap in the face is quite light. You not only humiliated the target person, but also brought his mother along. God knows how taboo the target person is to mention his mother.]
Chen Lin snorted softly. If he didn't know this, he wouldn't have brought it up on purpose.
He asked again: "How much is it now?"
[Already seventy-five, the host continues to work hard.]
…
Yilan Hall.
Concubine De put down the teacup in her hand, and casually asked her two sons: "After studying with the high priest for so long, what have you learned?"
The eldest prince hurriedly said: "My son has benefited a lot, and I have my own views on the way of governing the country."
As he was talking, he was about to tell his mother what he had learned. Unexpectedly, he only started, and was interrupted by his mother's hand.
Concubine De looked at the third prince: "Say it."
The third prince nodded, and then said: "The high priest treats everyone the same, but treats the seventh prince badly. As for the reason, it should be that the gift from the seventh prince is too shabby, and the high priest doesn't like it..."
The eldest prince couldn't help interjecting: "My concubine asked you to tell me what you learned, what are you talking about?"
Concubine De motioned for him to continue.
"The high priest's favorite is the jade pendant given by the fifth child. He wears it all day long. Besides, the fifth child is also given special preferential treatment in class."
When Concubine De heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
"Could it be that the high priest wants to push the fifth child to the top?"
The third prince shook his head: "I can't guess what the high priest is thinking. It's not impossible to say that he wants to push the fifth brother to the top. It's just that he treats the emperor's brother very differently."
Concubine De then turned her attention to her eldest son: "Is this serious?"
Although he doesn't like those intrigues, he is not stupid. He has already talked about this part. He can naturally guess that what the concubine mother cares about is not what he has learned, but which side the high priest stands in the battle for succession .
"Mother and concubine, I don't think the high priest treats my son any differently..."
The third prince hurriedly interrupted him: "If there is no difference, then why did the high priest keep you alone for dinner?"
"That's because... because..."
Why, but can't say it.
Concubine De is a person who has experienced a lot of wind and waves, she has long practiced those piercing eyes, and now she sees her eldest son's appearance, and she already knows it clearly.
She was not angry, but said softly: "Hao'er, the mother naturally wishes you well, your father thinks highly of you, and the high priest also thinks you are good, so you must not do anything inappropriate. One day, when you sit on the Dragon Throne, you can do whatever you want and whoever you want."
The First Prince responded dully.
Regarding the high priest, he had too many uncertainties, so he didn't dare to say anything, let alone do anything beyond the rules.
Concubine De said again: "Third brother, you two are closer than others, you must help each other, you can't let those wolf cubs outside take advantage of the loopholes, as long as you two work together, I'm afraid that the sick old fifth will fail."
Both of them answered "yes" in unison.
"Okay, let's kneel down."
After leaving the Yilan Hall, the third prince said: "Brother, that position is destined to belong to our brothers. Since you don't like those intrigues, then let my younger brother do it for you. Anyway, my younger brother's These hands are already stained with blood for the emperor."
Yu Wenhao was shocked, the past that had long been left behind resurfaced at this moment.
He whispered: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's the emperor who is too cowardly. He can defeat tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, but he dare not attack his own brother. I want you to replace me..."
At that time, he was threatened by the fourth brother, and he had no way to retreat, but he was still unable to fight. It was his younger brother Yu Wengui who helped him.
He thought that this memory had already been sealed in a certain corner and was no longer remembered, but when he thought about it now, it was so clear, as if it happened yesterday.
Yu Wengui stopped him: "Brother Huang, don't think about it, we are a compatriot, we naturally have to work together so that this position will not fall into the hands of others, I am helping Brother Huang, and I am also helping myself, I hope to eradicate it in the future." After getting rid of those dissidents, it's better for the emperor not to meet his younger brother in battle."
Yu Wenhao scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense, we will always be brothers, forever."
