Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

When Lin Chongtan saw what I wrote, he didn't give a direct answer, as if he was hesitating whether to stay or not.Seeing this, I pulled the rice paper back, tore it up a few times, and ignored him.

His hand on his lap suddenly stretched out, taking advantage of the wide sleeves and the high desk, he gently grasped my wrist, as if trying to coax me.I withdrew my hand with a cold face, fearing that he would be shameless to shake it again, so I put both hands on the desk.

After Shangguan Daru finished his class, I asked Niu Xi to send them out. Lin Chongtan, who was supposed to leave with Shangguan Daru, turned back halfway and saluted me: "Ninth Prince, I just accidentally lost the jade pendant that my elders gave me. Do you know if I can look for it in the hall?"

I looked at him coldly, and then said: "You can find it." Then I said to the servants at the side: "You go down first, I don't need anyone to serve here for the time being, and I want to endorse alone."

Palace people should "yes" to leave.

I was still sitting at the previous desk, and without reciting a few words, Lin Chongtan, who used looking for something as an excuse, sat down next to me.

"Xiao Di." He called me in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's because everything is busy now."

I turned to look at him, "If you're busy, go, I didn't tie your legs."

I got angry at Lin Chongtan, not only did he not show any anger, but the corners of his lips curled up, and he reached out to hold my hand again.This time he didn't hold my wrist, but wrapped my whole hand in his palm.

"It's my fault, don't be angry." Lin Chongtan coaxed me, and then asked me what I didn't understand about what Shangguan Daru said just now.

I was silent for a moment, and asked him something I did not understand.I was listening to his lecture carefully, but suddenly, his finger touched my cheek.

Because I was disturbed, I frowned and looked at Lin Chongtan, only to find that his eyes at this time were extremely complicated, as if there was nostalgia, and it seemed that there was a surprise of regaining what was lost.

He looked at me fixedly, and when he saw me looking over, his tone became softer and gentler.I couldn't help being startled, but soon, I thought Lin Chongtan was too good at acting.

After the explanation was over, I took the initiative to mention yesterday's coronation ceremony, "I heard that your coronation ceremony yesterday was presided over by Master Ku Su, but he also drafted your words?"

When Lin Chongtan heard me ask about this matter, he didn't show any complacency on his face. He just hummed and said to me after a while: "Does the dress you sent yesterday fit me?"

In my mind, the dress that was completely cut to pieces and the crown hat with smashed marks appeared in my mind, "It fits well."

"It just fits well. I estimated your size and asked someone to make it. I'm a little afraid." He held my hand, and his tone was much lower, "Xiao Di, I will make up for you in the future. polite."

After hearing this, I just felt disgusted and funny, disgusted by Lin Chongtan's affectionate appearance, funny that he thought I was as easy to deceive as before.

He wanted to deceive me, so I just used this reason to humiliate him.

I turned my face away, making a very unhappy expression.Lin Chongtan really asked me what was wrong, and whispered to me not to be unhappy.After coaxing him for a long time, I said: "Yesterday you were so beautiful, but no one wished me a birthday. After all, the supplementary crown ceremony is not the real crown ceremony. My parents thought I was dead, even in Gusu. , I have only one solitary grave."

"Xiaodi..."

Before Lin Chongtan could finish speaking, I interrupted him roughly, "I told you before, I won't forgive you so easily. Lin Chongtan, kneel down."

I originally used my status as the Ninth Prince to make Lin Chongtan kneel, and Lin Chongtan had to kneel, but I later found out that this feeling was not pleasant, because Lin Chongtan didn't know that it was me, Lin Chundi, who was kneeling everywhere. He was compared to Lin Chundi, who always carried a stigma when he died.

I just want Lin Chongtan to know it's me, and I have to kneel down.

When Lin Chongtan heard what I said, he paused for a moment before getting up and kneeling on the ground.

I looked at him coldly several times, "Sit down on your knees."

He did as he said, and when I saw him sitting down, I stretched out my foot and stepped on something.His face suddenly changed slightly, his lips pursed, and the voice that called me was begging for mercy, "Xiaodi."

I ignored it and just continued with my actions.

Not long after, Lin Chongtan's face turned red, and he clenched his hands tightly on his lap.Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help but feel refreshed.No matter how beautiful it was yesterday, why not kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy today?

But suddenly, he grabbed my ankle.

Because I was in my own palace and I wore silk shoes on my feet, when he grabbed me, the hot palm was directly against the skin of my ankle.

"You..." I panicked and couldn't help stammering, "Let go!"

Lin Chongtan raised his eyes and looked at me, his eyes were very similar to his eyes every time he looked at me on the bed, I felt even more flustered, I forgot everything for a while, I just wanted to quickly put my feet back.

During the struggle, the silk shoes on my feet fell off.

Lin Chongtan changed from holding my ankle to holding my foot.The fingertips seemed to be still rubbing gently against the soles of my feet, and I was angry and scared, so I asked him to let go even more fiercely.

"Lin Chongtan, if you don't let go, I'll call someone in to punish you, and you're not allowed to come here again."

Maybe it was my threat that worked, he picked up the silk shoes on the side and put them on for me.As soon as the shoes were put on, I quickly pulled my feet back, and was about to reprimand him a few more words, but was shocked to find that Lin Chongtan's obviousness became more and more obvious.

What a hypocrite!

I was furious, and my brain was thinking about how to take revenge on him. After a few breaths, I held back my anger and stepped on Lin Chongtan again.

After a long time, I retracted my feet, "I'm tired, you can go. By the way, my clothes don't fit you. If you want to change, you can only change into the eunuch's clothes."

Lin Chongtan lowered his head to examine himself, and then whispered: "It's okay, I can go back like this."

I didn't expect him to be so shameless, I could only watch him leave speechlessly.Until the evening, I still couldn't figure out why Lin Chongtan could blatantly leave in that pair of pants.

But I didn't gain anything today, I got Lin Chongtan's private seal when he was most distraught and infatuated.

Last time I wanted to put Lin Chongtan's letter in Ma Shanbing's place, but I later found out that it was not feasible.In the matter of forging letters, although I can imitate flowers and plants, I cannot imitate his seal.

Only with a seal on the letter will it be more reliable.

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don't need to listen to the lectures of Shangguan Daru.The prince did not attend this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet because he was still grounded.

In previous years, the seat next to the emperor was changed from the seat of the prince to the seat of the second prince.

I don't know if it's my delusion or what, but the second prince feels different than I did before. He used to look a little timid, soft-spoken, and likes to hunch his back, but today he is obviously high-spirited.

When I went to toast him, he stopped calling me Congxi, but patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaojiu, you have been studying with Shangguan Daru recently, have you made progress in your studies?"

I replied, "Shangguan University has a profound knowledge of Confucianism, and I have benefited a lot from it."

The second prince smiled and said: "That's good. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can also ask me. Xiao Jiu, you can walk more in the second prince's palace in the future."

I nodded, and it happened that another minister came to toast at this time, so I hurriedly left with my glass.I actually feel strange in my heart, the second prince is acting too obviously now, the emperor is now in his prime, how dare he contact foreign soldiers rashly, trying to force the palace?

If he fails, let alone continue to be the prince, he may not even be able to keep his head.

When I was thinking about something, a person walked by.

"Congxi."

It is the fourth prince.

He was holding a half-person-high colored glaze palace lantern in his hand. Under the night, the palace lantern was full of brilliance and brilliance.There is also a picture of Chang'e flying to the moon that can rotate inside the lamp, which moves slowly with the light.

"Congxi, do you like it?" The fourth prince handed the palace lantern in front of me, "For you."

I froze for a moment, then waved my hand, "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"It's not expensive, it's just a little troublesome. I made it myself."

What the fourth prince said made me even more stunned. This kind of cumbersome and delicate palace lantern is usually only made by skilled old craftsmen. How could he, a pampered prince, do this?

The fourth prince noticed that I was staring at him blankly, raised his hand and scratched his shoulder, and said with some embarrassment: "I usually don't have much to do, so I like to make these little things." He gave me the palace lantern, "Congxi, You take it."

After finishing speaking, he left, and I didn't even have time to say thank you.

Back at Huayang Palace, I asked the palace people to hang up this palace lantern properly, so as not to bump it.While it was hanging, Concubine Zhuang and the emperor came together.

"This lamp is good." The emperor boasted, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has improved a lot in craftsmanship."

I turned my head, saluted the emperor first, and then said: "This is not done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but by Brother Four."

"Oh?" The emperor heard that the fourth prince did it, he took a second look, but didn't say anything, and followed Concubine Zhuang into the inner hall.Concubine Zhuang beckoned me to go in together, "Mother and concubine made moon cakes, you and your father should taste them together."

I nodded and followed into the hall.

At the banquet, the emperor and Concubine Zhuang were talking about family affairs. I didn't want to interrupt, so I just ate mooncakes. Halfway through the meal, the emperor suddenly asked me, "Is the injury on Congxi's head healed? Does it still hurt?"

I touched the forehead, the gauze had already been removed, and now only a faint red mark remained.The imperial doctor said that after a period of time, the red marks will disappear.

"Go back to father, my son's injury has fully healed." I said.

The emperor pondered and said: "That's good, I'm really afraid that you will get hurt badly."

I shook my head, "Your servant is not so delicate." After a pause, "Oh, Father, since I have recovered from my injury, why don't you lift the confinement of the prince's elder brother as soon as possible? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion, Prince My brother was banned in the East Palace, and he couldn't go anywhere."

When the emperor heard me mentioning the prince, he frowned, and then said: "It's better to lock him up for a while, let him take care of his temper."

Although the queen appeared at the mid-autumn banquet today, I don't know if it was because of the prince, she looked not very good-looking.The whole night, the emperor didn't take the initiative to talk to the queen, so I couldn't help but wonder if it was true that the emperor rejected the prince because of my affairs?

I always feel that it is not that simple.

Concubine Zhuang's eyes turned slightly, "The prince will be alone in the East Palace now, so he will be lonely. Your Majesty, go and see the prince."

The emperor's attitude was very firm, "I won't go." But his eyes suddenly turned to me, "Go, go from Xi."

Before I could react, I was forced to carry a box of mooncakes and sit on the soft sedan chair to the East Palace.

The East Palace looked very deserted today, and few lanterns were even lit.The prince is not in the bedroom, I searched around and found him sitting in the gazebo, he is not as disheveled as last time.
