This morning, Emperor Yong finally proposed the establishment of a prince, and asked the ministers present for their opinions.

The news had already spread, and the two factions of King Jia and King Cheng had already made preparations, and this morning court turned into a struggle between the two factions.Prime Minister Lin didn't show up this morning to complain about his illness. Ling Wenze felt that he was sure that there would be such a verbal war today, and he didn't want to participate in deliberately calling him sick.

Ling Wenze yawned secretly. The establishment of a crown prince had nothing to do with him. Anyway, Emperor Yong would neither appoint him nor ask him.No matter what the result is, his goal of helping Zhiyuan kill King Cheng will not change.I just don't know what Ling Wenjin's thoughts are. If Ling Wenjin is willing to fight, he, the older brother, will definitely try his best to help.

The most important ministers in the court are one general, one prime minister and four ministers.General Liang was far away in the frontier, and Prime Minister Lin said he was sick at home.Hong Sheng, Minister of War at General Liang's side, was also sent to the frontier by Emperor Yong. Cheng Xiao, Minister of Punishment, was Concubine Jin's father. Seeing that he had never made a statement, Emperor Yong did not intend to ask him.On Prime Minister Lin's side, Ding Tangchun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is now King Cheng's father-in-law, so naturally he is on King Cheng's side.

When the courtiers were almost in dispute, Emperor Yong asked the silent Dongfang Wo: "Dongfang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Dongfang Wo took a step forward, leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Jia and His Royal Highness King Cheng both have extraordinary auras, but the establishment of a crown prince is a major national event, and I dare not speak nonsense, please consider it with your majesty."

Dongfang Wo kicked the ball back to Emperor Yong, and Emperor Yong seemed to have known that he would say this: "Let's discuss this matter again and retreat from the court."

When Ling Wenze came out of the main hall, he saw Chen Ziye walking towards him staggeringly, smiling maliciously.

"Your Highness, Third Prince," Chen Ziye's salutation was quite regular, but what he said was not the case. "Just now, when I saw His Highness covering his lips with his hands in court, it must be because of his health?"

Ling Wenze secretly scolded this guy for cursing him to be sick, but smiled on his face: "Chen Shilang is very concerned about my highness, so he caught some cold this morning, cough cough!" As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Ziye's face He coughed hard twice, and tried to spit out some saliva.

Chen Ziye quickly covered his face with his sleeve, and then said with a grim expression: "Your Highness must be careful. Although the matter of setting up a crown prince has nothing to do with His Highness, don't become ill because of this depression."

Before Ling Wenze could speak, he heard someone behind him say, "Don't worry Chen Shilang about His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Ling Wenze turned his head and saw Lin Zhaonuo walking over with a tiger's face.

Standing beside Ling Wenze, Lin Zhaonuo continued to talk to Chen Ziye: "Chen Shilang seems to be very busy, have you finished sorting out all the books in Zangshuge?"

Although he didn't understand when Lin Zhaonuo started to protect the third prince, he still didn't dare to offend the prime minister's son, so Chen Ziye just snorted, turned and left.

Ling Wenze looked at Lin Zhaonuo, and thought that this kid was quite interesting, as if he had grown up suddenly, and started to help him out.

Being looked at by Ling Wenze, Lin Zhaonuo blushed, "Your Highness."

Ling Wenze smiled at him: "Thank you for helping me drive away the flies."

Lin Zhaonuo didn't thank him, but asked him: "Does Your Highness have time this afternoon? The peach blossoms in Yuandi are in bloom, and I would like to invite Your Highness to visit with us."

Hearing him mention Yuandi, Ling Wenze remembered such a place.It was a river embankment outside the capital city. Peach blossoms were in full bloom in this season, and many literati and refined scholars would go to watch it.

It's a pity that Ling Wenze, who is a technical nerd, has never been interested in flowers, plants and beautiful scenery. In his words: Mechanical weapons are the real beauty!

"No, I'll be very busy these two days."

Lin Zhaonuo, who was rejected, did not hide the disappointment on his face: "What's the matter, Your Highness? Do you need help?"

Ling Wenze smiled: "You can't help with this. I still have to go to Xiao Wu's place, you go home quickly." He had to go to Concubine Jin to ask Emperor Yong's itinerary, to see when he would be at Concubine Shu's .Concubines always know more about the emperor's movements than the prince.

After Ling Wenze finished speaking, he left, not realizing that Lin Zhaonuo behind him was standing there, staring at his back for a long time, and then walked to his palace.

Zhi Yuan was reading a book when suddenly someone from the palace reported that Lin Zhaonuo, the prime minister's son, had arrived.

Zhi Yuan asked with some doubts: "Your Highness is with him?"

"No, only Master Lin is alone."

Zhi Yuan had no choice but to welcome her out, and saw Lin Zhaonuo in the front hall.

Zhiyuan saluted Lin Zhaonuo respectfully: "Young Master Lin, Your Highness has not returned yet."

Lin Zhaonuo smiled and said, "Of course I know he's not here. We parted at the gate of the court hall, and he went to the Fifth Prince's."

Zhi Yuan looked at him and asked, "So, what does Young Master Lin want to do here?"

Zhi Yuan said "Young Master Lin", Lin Zhaonuo could hear him reminding himself that he was no longer Ling Wenze's attendant, but he was not angry because he had the bargaining chip to make Zhi Yuan angry.

"I made an appointment with Your Highness to go to Yuandi to see peach blossoms in the afternoon, but I forgot to give him my father's letter, so I came here to deliver it." Lin Zhaonuo took out a letter and put it on the table On the case, "Let's leave this letter here, and give it to His Highness when he comes back. This is my father's personal letter. You'd better not touch it."

Zhiyuan didn't care about Lin Zhaonuo's warning, all his thoughts were on Lin Zhaonuo's sentence "I made an appointment with His Highness to go to Yuandi to see peach blossoms in the afternoon".Of course, he knew about Yuandi. When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, not only literati like to recite poems, but lovers often go there together.

Seeing Zhiyuan's ugly face, Lin Zhaonuo smiled with satisfaction and left.He just said "afternoon", but didn't say which afternoon.Although his invitation was rejected by Ling Wenze this afternoon, he felt that Ling Wenze would definitely go to his father's invitation, so when Ling Wenze went to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow and his father would speak, Ling Wenze would definitely not refuse.

Zhiyuan naturally understood that Lin Zhaonuo was here to show off.Looking at the letter on the table, he tried his best to suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart, and comforted himself: Even if Ling Wenze agreed to travel with Lin Zhaonuo, he must have his own reasons, just wait for him to come back and ask him clearly up.

Ling Wenze learned from Concubine Jin that Emperor Yong would have lunch at Concubine Shu's today, and he should be there in the afternoon and evening.

Concubine Jin said helplessly: "Your Majesty has shown too much favor to Concubine Shu, even reviewing memorials, she often stays in her palace."

Ling Wenze could only laugh dryly, not expressing any opinion on the emperor's actions.

When he returned to his palace, Ling Wenze saw Zhi Yuan sitting in the front hall staring at a letter on the table in a daze.

"Why is there a letter?"

It was only when Ling Wenze made a noise that he realized that he was back, he stood up and said to him, "It's Young Master Lin...Lin Zhaonuo, it's here."

Hearing that Lin Zhaonuo had come, Ling Wenze asked him nervously: "Did he say anything else?"

No matter it was the last time in Zangshu Pavilion or this time outside the hall, Chen Ziye made things difficult for him because he had unreasonable thoughts about Zhi Yuan.Ling Wenze didn't want Zhi Yuan to know Chen Ziye's dirty thoughts, it was so disgusting.

Seeing Ling Wenze's nervous look, Zhi Yuan felt that he was afraid that he would find out about his date with Lin Zhaonuo, so she said, "No, he delivered the letter and left."

Only then did Ling Wenze heave a sigh of relief, took the letter, opened it and looked it over, and said "Damn": "Prime Minister Lin invited me to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." Then he told Zhi Yuan about Emperor Yong's proposal to establish a crown prince thing.

"Wang Jia and King Cheng must both want Prime Minister Lin's support. He said he was sick and stayed at home to hide from these two people. Naturally, it is not easy to hide from these two people. Instead, he gave them a chance to raise the issue by calling himself sick. At this time, inviting me to the prime minister's mansion for a gathering is simply using me as a shield. I have to push it away." Anyway, after he finished his tossing with Emperor Yong today, he should be able to see the mansion and choose a place tomorrow. Don't lie to Lin Zhaonuo, he will be very busy these two days.

Zhi Yuan nodded absent-mindedly, thinking that since Ling Wenze wanted to reject Prime Minister Lin's invitation, could he ask Lin Zhaonuo about the Yuandi appointment?

Ling Wenze put down the letter at this time, and said, "Let's not talk about that, let's go to training first. I have to go out after lunch."

Zhi Yuan's heart trembled, she looked at him and asked, "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Although Ling Wenze thought that getting Emperor Yong to agree with him to marry Zhi Yuan as his wife, so that he could leave the palace and build a mansion as soon as possible, the possibility of success is quite high, but he decided not to say too much for fear of Zhi Yuan's worry.Thinking about going to Dongfang Wo to ask Dongfang Wo about building a mansion and ores after grinding away with Emperor Yong, he just smiled at Zhiyuan: "This...let me tell you when I come back, oh yes, I Probably won't be back until evening. Go for a walk and exercise."

Being pulled by his wrist to the training ground outside the temple, Zhi Yuan only felt the pain in his heart expanding.In the morning, Ling Wenze laughed and called Lin Zhaonuo a brat, but in a few hours, the two of them will travel to Yuandi together.

Ling Wenze sat slumped on the ground, seeing that Zhi Yuan was about to continue with one-handed push-ups, he hurriedly stopped him: "Why are you still increasing the amount of weight for yourself? This won't work, it's too much, do you understand?"

Zhi Yuan wiped off her sweat, looked at Ling Wenze and said, "I just want to become stronger quickly." But she laughed at herself in her heart, all he could do was to make his body stronger.

It was the first time that Zhiyuan called herself "I" in front of Ling Wenze, which was what Ling Wenze had always wanted, but now Ling Wenze didn't feel happy at all.

"What's wrong with you? You seem... unhappy?"

"No, isn't Your Highness still busy? Go and have lunch."

Ling Wenze looked at Zhi Yuan walking ahead in confusion, and began to reflect on whether he had done something to make him unhappy, and then he thought of Zhi Yuan's words last night.

Ling Wenze stroked his chin: I'm afraid it's not true, isn't it dissatisfied with desire?That's right, get out of the palace as soon as possible, when the time comes, get Zhi Yuan a room for herself, and then give him some toys.
