When Ling Wenze was woken up by Zhi Yuan, he heard that Lin Zhao Nuo was already waiting outside the hall.

Only then did Ling Wenze remember that before leaving the palace to build a mansion, his attendant had to go to court with him every day, and of course he had to have a meal with him every morning.

After washing, he invited people in.Seeing Lin Zhaonuo for the first time, Ling Wenze felt that this child was indeed so proud of his looks.Recalling the past get-togethers, Ling Wenze felt that this was a young man who could easily express his emotions on his face. To put it bluntly, he was the kind with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Ling Wenze couldn't help laughing, which made Lin Zhaonuo's face darken after he had just saluted him.

Zhiyuan pretended not to see it, and arranged for the maid to prepare breakfast.

Seeing Zhiyuan sitting down, Lin Zhaonuo snorted coldly and said, "It's just a young lady who really regards herself as the master of the palace."

Zhi Yuan didn't speak, and sat beside Ling Wenze calmly.

Lin Zhaonuo's face became even more ugly: "Your Highness, how can I let Xiaowan sit with you?"

Ling Wenze didn't seem to hear, and asked Zhiyuan, "The last two times Xiao Wu came over and let's eat together, did you write down his favorite food?"

Zhi Yuan replied: "Remember, when His Highness the Fifth Prince comes over in the future, Zhi Yuan will instruct the dining room to prepare His Highness's favorite food."

Ling Wenze nodded, and then asked Lin Zhaonuo, "What did you just say?"

Lin Zhaonuo had nothing to say, Ling Wenze was telling him: Even His Royal Highness and the Fifth Prince had dinner with Zhi Yuan, so what's the point of forcing Lai Lai as a waiter?

After dinner, it was time to go to court. Ling Wenze suddenly kissed Zhiyuan on the forehead in front of Lin Zhaonuo, and said, "Wait for me to come back." Kissing a man back, even though it was just on the forehead, Ling Wenze thought about it carefully in silence, um, it's okay, I don't feel disgusted.

Surprised, Lin Zhaonuo looked at Zhi Yuan who was stunned, and quickly followed.

Following Ling Wenze, Lin Zhaonuo struggled for a while, but still said: "Your Highness, I think that Your Highness shouldn't be so fond of a young lady."

Ling Wenze rolled his eyes when he heard his tone of loyal admonition: If I tell you that I want to marry him as my concubine, will you kill yourself on the spot?

"Why not?"

"Your Highness is a prince, how can you..."

Ling Wenze turned around and interrupted him: "First of all, I'm just an unfavored prince. I don't know how many people want me to be notorious and not have children. Secondly, it seems that the relationship between your Highness and you has never been very good? Before? Why don't I see you pointing fingers at me?"

Ling Wenze thinks that this child is really unlovable. In the past, no matter whether it was in the early court or the next court, the third prince was questioned by Emperor Yong, but when he dared not speak up, he didn't see him to help him. The third prince was reprimanded and punished by Emperor Yong because of his poor writing skills. At that time, he was not less gloating, but now that Ling Wenze is in this body, he has started to pretend to be a loyal minister.

Lin Zhaonuo looked at Ling Wenze in astonishment, seeing the anger in the third prince's eyes for the first time.

As the second son of the prime minister's family, although he was not a direct descendant, Lin Zhaonuo was loved by thousands of people since he was a child.And this third prince was always so timid that even the prime minister didn't dare to offend him.This was the first time that the third prince stared at him so directly and said those facts.

Lin Zhaonuo was speechless, in fact, he was just a servant in the final analysis, no matter how timid and cowardly the Third Prince was, his status was higher than him.It's just that these years, he was unwilling that his eldest brother could become the prince's attendant, and he could only accompany the unfavored and incompetent third prince, so he felt a lot of resentment in his heart, and the third prince's blind tolerance made him get used to being in front of him. Boss around.

Seeing his blank look, Ling Wenze suddenly felt guilty for bullying a child, so he turned around and continued walking, ignoring Lin Zhaonuo.

Lin Zhaonuo finally came to his senses and hurriedly followed.It's just that there seems to be some grievances in my heart, but I don't know where the grievances are.

Compared with the previous ones, the early court was nothing special. Royal private matters such as King Jia's birthday banquet, the second prince and Ling Wenze's punishment would not be discussed at the court meeting.So after the early court ended, King Jia, the second prince, and Ling Wenze were all called to the imperial study by Emperor Yong.

This familiar lineup was the same as the scene seven days ago, still with Emperor Yong in the upper seat, the second prince and Ling Wenze kneeling there, and King Jia standing beside him.

Emperor Yong first asked the second prince to sum up his reflections on the seven-day confinement, the second prince consciously apologized to King Jia, and King Jia reluctantly accepted it with a haughty face.When the second prince's matter is over, it will finally be Ling Wenze's turn to kneel for a long time.

"Your handwriting is too weak, go back and practice hard."

Ling Wenze hurriedly said yes, and Emperor Jia said, "What do you plan to do with that young man?"

Ling Wenze said truthfully: "My son really likes him."

"..."

There was an eerie silence in the imperial study room.Emperor Yong didn't even figure out what his third son, who had always been timid and cowardly, meant, and he didn't bother to take care of him because he was only a young man around him.

"Second brother's marriage is settled." Emperor Jia finally announced the big news. Royal marriages are never announced in the early court, but the news will naturally spread to the entire court, "I have discussed the wedding date with Concubine Shu. .”

It has long been heard that Concubine Shu is choosing a concubine for the second prince, and now it is finally decided.On the third day of next month, it will only be five or six days away.

Following Emperor Yong's words, King Jia said to the second prince, "Congratulations to the second brother, who is the woman?"

The second prince smiled: "Naturally not as honorable as the emperor's wife, she is Ding Zhimei, the eldest daughter of Ding Tangchun, Minister of Rites."

King Jia nodded and said nothing more.Ding Zhimei's status is just like that of King Jia's side concubine, at most she can be regarded as a relative of the emperor with some connections. To put it better, her father's current position as Minister of Rites is better in the court.

It wasn't that Concubine Shu didn't want to find a concubine with a higher status for her son, but it was because after Emperor Yong ascended the throne, he killed all the relatives and relatives of the emperor.In addition, Ding Tangchun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is also the immediate boss of the second prince's useless uncle, Chen Ziye, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, so it is not surprising that Concubine Shu made such a choice.

Ling Wenze still had some memories of these superficial relationships. In his memory, Ding Tangchun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also a cowardly and cowardly person. He obeyed everyone, and even his subordinate Chen Ziye dared not discipline him.

Ling Wenze knelt there and congratulated the second prince.It was only then that Emperor Yong realized that he had not been asked to get up, so Emperor Yong coughed a few times to cover up, and finally rescued Ling Wenze's knee.

Ling Wenze came out of the imperial study, and Lin Zhaonuo was obediently waiting for him.Before entering the imperial study, Ling Wenze told Lin Zhaonuo to go to the Zangshuge to borrow some books after he came out.

Probably because Ling Wenze was frightened in the morning, Lin Zhaonuo was a lot more reserved, which made Ling Wenze feel a little awkward.

They had nothing to say along the way, but when they arrived at the door of Zangshu Pavilion, they met someone neither of them wanted to see: Chen Ziye, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Chen Ziye was here specially to wait for them, and he heard what Ling Wenze said to Lin Zhaonuo when he came down to court.This person's appearance is actually not bad, but his whole person is extremely wretched. These years, his family has many wives and concubines, but he doesn't even have a single heir. He knows that his body has been hollowed out by wine and sex.

"Yo, Your Highness the Third Prince, a rare visitor."

No matter how Ling Wenze heard it, why did he feel that this person's voice was horrible: "This is Chen Shilang?"

Chen Ziye had a hypocritical smile on his face: "This minister is here to supervise the arrangement of the books in Zangshu Pavilion. You see, everyone is busy."

The door of Zangshu Pavilion was open, and there were indeed many people running around carrying books.

Ling Wenze was a little puzzled: "It seems that it's not the month to sort out the scrolls every year, right?"

"Isn't it the good weather recently?" Chen Ziye put his sleeves on his sleeves, with a look of course on his face, "In order to avoid the loss of books, books are not allowed to be borrowed during the tidying up of the Library Pavilion. It's a coincidence that your Highness, Third Prince, came today for nothing."

Ling Wenze looked at him: "How do you know I'm here to borrow books?"

Chen Ziye said contemptuously: "Naturally, I want to borrow books when I come to Zangshu Pavilion."

Ling Wenze spread his hands: "I'm not." After saying that, he turned and left, and Lin Zhaonuo hurriedly followed without knowing why.

Chen Ziye shouted at Ling Wenze: "Then what is His Highness here for?"

Ling Wenze didn't even turn his head: "I just came to see what the watchdog looks like!"

Lin Zhaonuo almost laughed out loud, but when he looked back, Chen Ziye's expression was distorted with anger.

After walking for a while, Lin Zhaonuo said, "He must have heard what His Highness said to the minister, so he waited there on purpose. What is the difference between His Highness and him?"

Ling Wenze stopped, and suddenly remembered that when he went to pick up Zhiyuan, the second prince seemed to have said something, "I promised Chen Shilang", now he understood where Chen Ziye's hostility towards him came from.

Lin Zhaonuo looked at Ling Wenze's expression became serious, and his doubts became even more serious: Why do you feel that the third prince seems to be a different person after the end of the confinement?

Ling Wenze looked around, but there was no one else, so he pulled Lin Zhaonuo aside: "Can the scrolls in Zangshu Pavilion be moved freely?"

Lin Zhaonuo thought for a while, and said, "Arranging the scrolls should require the consent of the Minister of Rites, Master Ding."

Ling Wenze gave a "tsk" sound, Ding Tangchun had basically never been in contact with him before, but this person will soon become the second prince's father-in-law, and he is probably on the same side as Chen Ziye.

Lin Zhaonuo interrupted Ling Wenze's thoughts: "Your Highness thinks that Chen Shilang moved the scrolls in Zangshuge without receiving the order?"

Ling Wenze shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. There is nothing else, you can go home."

Being asked to leave suddenly, Lin Zhaonuo was a little confused and said, "Your Highness should be sent back to the palace."

Seeing his expression, Ling Wenze smiled: "It's alright, you say that, but in your heart you really want to get away from me, don't you?"

Annoyed by Ling Wenze's smile, Lin Zhaonuo saluted him, turned around and left.
