The path behind the shadow of the long princess Jiaoman [Rebirth]

In the elegant courtyard, there are two seats for one tea.

"I remember that His Majesty still intends to let you be the chief examiner." Liu Yue held the cold teacup, but did not drink it for a long time.

Lin Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, nodded and said: "Your Highness, I was the examiner for the last big exam. It was because I was in the first year of the imperial court. The minister casts it."

"You have a broad mind." Although Liu Yue was praising her, she did not hide the sarcasm in her eyes, "If you really want to let go, why did you meet me again in Ya Xue Guan?"

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, but after a while, his expression returned to normal: "Your Highness, the tea is cold."

"Then don't drink." Liu Yue let go of her hand, "The national teacher is a little anxious to train newcomers."

Lin Yuan was puzzled: "Why did Your Highness say such a thing?"

I can't say that I dreamed that something would happen to you this time... Liu Yue secretly sighed.

In the sixth year of Mingkang, it was the year of the general election. However, there was an incident of leakage, which caused the court to lose face. Even Lin Guoshi, whom His Majesty had always trusted and relied on, was severely punished for improper employment, and the Lin family suffered greatly.

Lin Yuan was put together.

"Your Highness?" Lin Yuan saw her in a daze.

"I'm worried about those people." Liu Yue said bluntly.

"Your Highness, they are all your subjects." Lin Yuan looked the same.

"I'm more assured of you," Liu Yue paused, her tone turned colder, "I ordered you to take over, and you must take over. The matter of the general election must not be underestimated."

Lin Yuan was stared at by Liu Yue's ambiguous eyes, and he lowered his head and poured tea a little uncomfortably: "But, I have already informed His Majesty."

"If it's important, I'll just say it."

Lin Yuan made a bow with both hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation."

Liu Yue waved her hand: "It's just doing things for His Majesty."

"However, how to explain to the Imperial Academy?"

Liu Yue smiled meaningfully: "National Teacher, you don't need to ask me about this, after all...you can't let sick people go to battle."

Lin Yuan understood: "I understand."

Lin Yuan continued: "I heard that His Highness was unwell a few days ago, so don't overwork yourself."

This... Liu Yue felt embarrassed, it was not because of the crispy yellow cake, she couldn't stop talking for a while, and she hurt her stomach again.

Later, when the people from Yihua Palace came to greet them politely, Liu Yue always felt that they were holding back their laughter.

But they can't be punished.

When she left, the maid asked her suspiciously: "Why does Your Highness insist on praising Mr. Lin? We have always been on good terms with him."

"Don't think too much, just appreciate him."

Nothing simple.

In the last life, since His Majesty started guarding against the Lin family, he started to settle her affairs by the way.Probably the Lin family and her forces have been hovering around him for several years. If new forces are to be cultivated, the only way is for these two forces to give way.

Therefore, Liu Yue must stabilize Lin Yuan, and contain Emperor Ye's out-of-control suspicion for a few more years.

Otherwise, where would I have the time to make arrangements?

The wind in the Yaxue Hall was also too strong, and Liu Yue had just returned to Jinglin Palace when she had a headache.

The maid wanted to call the imperial doctor, but Liu Yue stopped her: "What a big deal."

The maid hurried over to serve hot tea: "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, not only His Highness's old illnesses are always recurring, but I heard that Yihua Palace is also sick, almost all of them have been sick this month."

Sickness can escape grace, but it can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime.

"What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"

Liu Yue shook her head and asked, "Where does Your Majesty go to sleep?"

"Most days, I go to Zhuang Shuyi or the queen."

"Oh? It seems that he really likes the Zhuang Shuyi I gave you." Liu Yue didn't intend to mention it, but after she finished speaking, her face froze, as if she had thought of something, and then she laughed at herself.

It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, the most important thing is to keep people around and put on a show.

Isn't it the same with Yao Ji?

"Rong'er, take my token and go quietly to inform the deputy envoy of the Sitianjian, just say it's my intention. In the last two months, whatever the star hits any month, anyway, it's very unknown. Now, and this astrology is pointing to the southeast of the imperial garden, the people living there need to recuperate, and it is inconvenient to receive them."

The maid lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, and said: "The southeast is the direction of Yihua Palace." She felt a thump in her heart, thinking that Concubine Xi had offended His Royal Highness the Princess, and now she is being suppressed.But after thinking about it again, isn't this fulfilling Concubine Xi's wish of avoiding favor due to illness?

Why do you want to help Concubine Xi?

I am afraid that my master's mind is more difficult to guess than the Holy One.

Liu Yue: "It is the direction of Yihua Palace, it must be the direction of Yihua Palace."

"The servant understands, and the deputy envoy is also a smart person, so he will definitely understand."

Liu Yue thought for a while: "As for the Hall of Yihua——"

The maid smiled: "Does Yihua Palace 'unintentionally' know?"

Liu Yue also smiled: "I love to see people owe me favors."

"The servant understands."

After the maid went out, the hall fell into silence again, and when no one was talking with him—bah, my head hurt again.

A pair of bare hands caressed Liuyue's temples with just the right strength.

"Yao'er." Without looking back, Liu Yue knew it was her.

"His Highness has become more and more busy recently, and he doesn't come to look for concubine, so concubine can only come here shamelessly every day."

"What nonsense?"

Yao Ji smiled slightly: "Your Highness, they sent me furs and told me to pick them first."

"Don't want white, you look better in brighter colors." When she said this, Liu Yue unconsciously thought of another most elegant and beautiful figure in white.

"Listen to His Highness."

Yao Ji continued to ask: "I heard that His Highness went to the Ya Academy today, I don't understand, what's so interesting about a group of young scholars?"

"Yao'er," Liu Yue pinched her small wrist with her backhand, "don't ask these questions."

"Your Highness... yes, I was wrong."

I seem to be in a hurry.Liu Yue let go of Yao Ji's hand, and deliberately softened her tone: "Yao'er, did you hurt you?"

"The concubine is fine," Yao Ji's voice was as gentle as ever, but there was a faint sense of tenderness, "It is the concubine who talks too much, and dares to interfere in political affairs."

"These things are the most complicated. I'm afraid that knowing too much will hurt you."

"The concubine won't ask any more questions in the future." Yao Ji promised.

"I'm hungry, you ask them to bring something over."

Yao Ji was by her side all the time, and Liu Yue couldn't open the fold, but it seemed too deliberate when she was suddenly idle.

Yao Ji brought up the golden silk cakes that she had already prepared: "I don't need them anymore, the concubine specially made them before coming here, and the cooking is not too sweet, Your Highness, try it."

Seeing Liuyue eat a piece, Yao Ji smiled again: "If Your Highness likes it, I can do it often, but I don't need to go to Yihua Palace to ask for it."

With a little force on Liu Yue's fingertips, bits of debris fell down.

Yao Ji hurriedly brushed it away with a handkerchief, ignoring the complex look on Liu Yue's face.

Liu Yue pretended to be casual and said: "Yihua Palace, although the master doesn't suit me very much, the craftsmanship in the small kitchen there is very satisfactory."

Yao Ji focused all her attention on the first half of her words: "I dare not speak falsely about Concubine Xi, but every day in the palace, it is inevitable to hear some trivial rumors. This Concubine Xi is indeed not compatible with others. , then there will be no further contact.”

Liu Yue smiled, but didn't say a word.

But I was puzzled in my heart, what is this Yao Ji and Lin Yunshu fighting about?There seems to be no conflict, right?

Alas, it's hard to guess what this woman is thinking.

Lin Yunshu has been very unrestrained and at ease these days, not only avoiding the daily greetings, but also not having to make up reasons to avoid the emperor's favor.

Appreciate flowers, write and make cakes, let the maids eat them if they are well done, and feed them to cats if they are not well done. Most cats in the palace are docile, and holding a ball of fluff is much more comfortable than facing irrelevant people .

However, Lin Yunshu also understood in her heart that all these things depended on Jing Lingong.

Lin Yunshu casually tossed down the petals hanging beside her little by little, seemingly bored, but her mind was very chaotic.

The one from Jing Lingong is a bit strange... Even though she intends to alienate herself, she seems to let go of the past and help herself instead.

She is obviously busy with political affairs, but she can always find time to deal with "uninterested" people like herself.

It's also quite interesting when you think about it.

This eldest princess was even more unpredictable than Lin Yunshu imagined.

However, although outsiders don't know the whole story, Yihuadian knows it.In terms of etiquette, Lin Yunshu wanted to go to Jinglin Palace to express her gratitude, but now she can't go out without authorization, which is really troublesome.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has already arrived outside the palace gate, but she didn't notify her in advance, and this servant didn't know how to refuse." The maid hurried in, interrupting her thoughts.

Lin Yunshu lazily said: "Why did you refuse? The eldest princess is a heavenly family, blessed with auspiciousness, and I am an unlucky person. Is it not good for her to visit me?"

The maid was startled, not knowing for a while whether this was irony.

Seeing the maid staring blankly, Lin Yunshu straightened her posture, "Serve tea."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of neat salutes sounded outside the palace gate.

Before the Liuyue people arrived, the voice came out first: "Why are there fewer people serving in this palace of Concubine Xi?"

Lin Yunshu got up slowly: "I don't have superhuman powers, so why do you need so many servants?"

Liu Yue chuckled: "Those who don't know think that His Majesty has treated you badly."

"It's just that I'm useless." Lin Yunshu pointed out.

Liu Yue waved her hand, signaling the palace servants to back off.

"Your Highness's visit today is not just for greetings, is it?"

"you guess?"

Lin Yunshu stepped on the petals that she had brushed off, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me deal with this."

Liu Yue smiled: "Is there any real thank you? I guess you don't like to owe favors."

"I can't guess that His Royal Highness's noble body, what else is there to be short of?"

Liu Yue lifted her sleeves, and there was a letter in her hand: "Give it to your brother in your name."

So it was like this, it was... so.Lin Yunshu took it without hesitation.
