The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

Today is the Tantric Festival.

The whole country was celebrating. Civil and military officials took a day off and went to the observation deck with the emperor and his empress to watch the people compete in ingenuity.

Without having to go to court, Lin You, who had been tossing and turning all night, slept until noon.

Anyway, no one cares about her, and she doesn't need to pay respects to the Queen Mother.

Shen Jing'an saw that it was already noon and the person on the bed had not woken up yet. He was afraid that she was hungry, but he didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the meal first.

He carried the plate of roast chicken and placed it in front of the bed, gently fanning the smell with his hands, letting it penetrate Lin You's nose.

After a while, the person on the bed snorted, and then his stomach growled.

“What a nice smell! It smells like roast chicken!”

Lin You mumbled something and opened his eyes blearily.

The next second, the golden and fragrant roast chicken came into her eyes.

Lin You immediately jumped up and reached out to take it, but the roast chicken in front of him was moved away.

Shen Jingan's handsome face was revealed.

"Wash first, then eat."

Lin You immediately lowered his head, "Then you are not allowed to eat secretly."

"Ah."

Shen Jing'an couldn't help but laugh when he saw her protecting her food like this.

Lin You then quickly changed clothes and washed up.

Shen Jingan had already placed the roast chicken on the dining table.

Lin You got up late and even skipped breakfast.

Just as they were about to start eating, Eunuch Hong came to report, "Your Majesty, Madam, Princess Ximeng came over crying, saying that the fourth young prince bullied her."

Lin You paused, "What the hell? Shen Yinlai and that kid bullied Xi Meng?"

"Yes, my dear."

Eunuch Hong was extremely anxious.

"Good boy, you dare to bully a girl, let her in."

Lin You was so angry that he took a big bite of the chicken leg and was very angry.

"Yes."

Eunuch Hong immediately bowed and went out.

"Wuwuwuwu, my lady..."

Before anyone even stepped into the hall, Ximeng's aggrieved cry could be heard.

"Wuwu, my queen, Shen... the Fourth Prince bullied me, wuwu!"

As soon as Xi Meng entered the room, she walked straight towards Lin You and started crying. Lin You held a chicken leg in one hand and patted her back with the other hand like coaxing a child, "How did that boy bully you? Tell me, I will help you deal with him."

As he said this, Lin You glared hatefully at Shen Yinlai who was following behind with a sour face.

Shen Jing'an calmly helped Lin You pick out the fish bones. He didn't even glance at Xi Meng or Shen Yinlai during the whole process.

"He He……"

As Ximeng spoke, her eyes began to avoid him, revealing a hint of shyness.

"Have your meal first. If there's anything else, we'll talk later."

A cold and compelling voice sounded, and Xi Meng's sobbing stopped immediately.

"Yes, eat first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to talk and argue."

Lin You was indeed very hungry.

Hearing this, Xi Meng had to stop crying and sat next to Lin You, not even daring to cry, for fear of upsetting Shen Jing'an.

Shen Jingan was about to sit down when he heard his brother coldly say, "Stand."

Shen Yinlai, "..."

Oh, just stand there. Do you really think he really craves the food in Yunqian Palace?

Seeing Shen Yinlai standing aside obediently, Xi Meng, who felt extremely aggrieved, felt better.

"Come, eat chicken legs."

Lin You picked up some food for Xi Meng.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Ximeng now put on a sweet smile again, and there were even tears on her rosy cheeks.

Seeing this, Shen Yinlai snorted sullenly and turned his head away without looking at her.

"Mmm, so fragrant and delicious!"

Xi Meng quickly immersed himself in the food, looking at Lin You, praising him highly, with a pair of bright, distinct black and white eyes.

"Are all the meals here, Madam? They are much better than mine."

"This is my favorite roast chicken. The imperial kitchen put a little extra effort into it."

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Lin You picked up another piece of meat for her.

Noticing that the air around him had become much colder, Lin You hurriedly picked up a piece for the emperor.

Shen Jing'an looked calm as he picked up the chicken and started eating.

The three of them were eating with relish. Shen Yin, who was angry, was drooling at the sight. Even if he turned around and didn't look, he could still hear the smacking sounds of Xi Meng, and even Concubine You could hear the same.

My royal brother is such a fool. Why doesn’t he care about these two women?

After a few quarters of an hour, the three of them finally finished their meal, and the four of them sat down in the flower pavilion. Lin You and Shen Jing'an started to play duck again.

Ximeng was so cute that she couldn’t let go of it, but of course she could only hug Youya.

"Xi Meng, how did the Fourth Prince bully you? Don't worry, just tell me. Don't be afraid. This palace and the Emperor will definitely take care of it for you and will never let him off easily!"

Hearing Lin You say this, Xi Meng, who was teasing Youya, couldn't help but blush again. She didn't want to say it, but if she didn't say it, wouldn't it be considered as deceiving the emperor?

"Fourth, Fourth Prince, he, he, touched my lips."

At the end, Ximeng's voice was almost as small as a mosquito.

However, it still fell into the ears of the three people present.

Lin Youlai became interested, "Did he touch your lips? How did he do that?"

"With his lips."

Shen Yinlai blushed slightly, "I didn't mean it."

After these words came out, Shen Jing'an's face turned cold, "So, you really had physical contact with Princess Ximeng?"

"Well, I guess so, but I fell to the ground with her and it was an accident, so it doesn't count!"

Shen Yinlai answered weakly.

The royal brother's eyes, stained with broken gold, were truly frightening.

"Princess Ximeng, what do you think we should do?" Lin You asked.

"...This." Xi Meng lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at Shen Yinlai, "Forget it, he really didn't mean it."

"Is this really the end of the story?"

Lin You asked again, and Shen Yinlai's face turned dark.

Ximeng nodded again.

"Then shake hands and make peace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xi Meng and Shen Yinlai looked at the peacemaker, Lin You, in surprise.

Lin You simply grabbed their hands and put them together, "Look, isn't this good?"

Shen Yinlai and Xi Meng were stunned for a moment. The next second, they both let go of their hands at the same time, and their faces flushed.

"You two should go back and get ready quickly. We are leaving the palace tonight to watch the Tankagami Festival at the observation deck."

"Leaving the palace? Tangram?"

Ximeng's eyes lit up.

There was no such festival in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"It sounds lively and fun. I'll go back and prepare well."

After saying that, Ximeng ran back.

Ever since her brother left, she had been very lonely in the palace. Although the bad boy Shen Yinlai came to accompany her from time to time, she knew that Shen Yinlai did not come willingly, but was called by the emperor and the empress.

Not long after Xi Meng and Shen Yin came and left, Concubine De came over. She confirmed the plan again before leaving.

When she passed by Chan Palace, she was stopped by Concubine Chan.

"Haha, it seems that my sister has found someone's support. She goes to Yunqian Palace every other day."

Concubine Chan had been tormented by the poisonous insect these days and had been unable to eat or sleep well. She wanted to call the imperial physician but did not dare to do so. She also could not get a reply from her father and did not dare to go to Yunqian Palace.

From time to time, he would wander around the palace gate, waiting for Duke Xu's reply, feeling very anxious and irritated.

Now that they have caught Concubine De, they will not let her go easily.
