Across the wind and snow, he looked straight at this side, as if he didn't care that his bold behavior would be discovered by others.Not long after, Lin Chongtan stepped out from the corridor holding an umbrella.

The prince also saw Lin Chongtan, and stopped, "You're not busy in Zangshu Pavilion today, why did you come here?"

He bowed to the crown prince, "The work of Zangshu Pavilion has come to an end, and I have just been ordered by His Majesty to go to the imperial court to listen to the summons."

This is indeed the only way for Zangshu Pavilion to go to the Imperial Palace.

Lin Chongtan was summoned to the imperial court, could it be because of the matter of the Twelve Princesses?

When the two of them were talking, I put the veiled hat back on, and in order to better see the expression on Lin Chongtan's face, I tried my best to climb up.

The prince noticed my movement, without turning his head, he directly bumped me up, and hugged me again.My chin naturally fell on the Prince's shoulder.

Lin Chongtan glanced towards me almost imperceptibly. If I hadn't been staring at him closely, I'm afraid I would have missed it.His complexion had returned to normal before, but when he looked at me, his jaw tensed for a moment, and his lips were also pursed.

"Why did the emperor call you there?" Just as the prince finished speaking, a father-in-law came running from a distance.

As the father-in-law ran towards us, he shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty, please go to Yuqian, please go with your servant."

When the father-in-law approached, the prince asked, "What's the matter?"

The father-in-law ran out of breath, and the air was filled with heat from his breathing. The prince took me back a few steps in disgust.

"I don't know, I don't know, His Royal Highness should go earlier, His Majesty is in a hurry to summon you." The father-in-law replied.

The prince turned his head to look at me, "Brother, I can't accompany you to continue walking in the snow. You can go back in a soft sedan later. If your foot is not healed, don't run around."

I oh.

The soft sedan followed us all the time, the prince put me into the soft sedan first, but he didn't leave in a hurry. He wanted to avenge me for stuffing snow into his neck just now, so he took out his gloves and touched my face.I saw that his hands were red, so I knew it was cold, so I quickly dodged.

It's just that my foot injury is not healed, and the soft sedan is small, so I can't hide anywhere.The crown prince pressed my waist and smiled, "Now you know I'm afraid? You were very courageous just now."

I didn't want to be touched by his hand, so I could only confess, "I was wrong, Brother Prince, I won't dare next time."

The prince bent down, "Huh? Don't you dare?"

"Don't dare." I leaned against the car wall with my back, and the crown prince was in front of me.Seeing one of his hands raised and approaching my face, I seemed to feel the cold approaching, so I couldn't help but close my eyes.

But the imaginary cold didn't fall on my face. Before the prince touched my face, he grabbed the red fox fur on my body instead. He squeezed two handfuls, let go and walked out of the sedan chair.

When the prince left, Lin Chongtan was still standing outside the sedan chair.I just noticed that the windows of the soft car were not closed tightly, leaving a gap to see the scenery outside.

Lin Chongtan and I looked at each other through the gap of the car window, probably due to the cold wind invading his muscles, and he was born with a weak disease and needed to rely on pills for maintenance, his face was pale and bloodless at this time.With the wind and snow on his shoulders, he stared at me without blinking, and bowed his head for a moment.

I slowly closed the car window tightly, "Niu Xi, go back to Huayang Palace."

From the sedan chair.

I nestled in the soft sedan chair, and put my fingers on the magpie around the plum copper hand stove to dispel the chill.I didn't want Lin Chongtan to bump into the scene where I was with the crown prince, but since I did, so be it.

Is it just that the emperor summoned Lin Chongtan for the wedding of the twelve princesses?

With Lin Chongtan's character, he will definitely not disobey the imperial decree.Although the twelve princesses are favored, she is still an immature little girl. The only way to resist is to go on a hunger strike or commit suicide, and she didn't really go on a hunger strike or commit suicide. It's more like a child throwing a temper tantrum.

If the emperor really wanted to marry the twelve princesses to Lin Chongtan, the marriage would really come true.

No, I will never allow it!

If Lin Chongtan becomes the son-in-law of the twelve princesses, how can I take revenge on him?If there is revenge, will the twelve princesses be affected?

I don't want to hurt innocent people.

Concubine Zhuang quickly found out about my injury, so she forbids me to leave Huayang Palace until my foot injury is healed, and even more so before the snow stops.

"Congxi, take a look at how many illnesses you have had in the past few months? Baby, you are already weak, so don't run to the library by yourself in the future. If you have any books you want to read, just ask others to send them over. Too The same goes for studying, it’s freezing cold, and I’m not in a hurry to learn things in class, I’d better wait until spring. You, I really want to make my concubine worry so much.”

Although Zhuang Guifei scolded me, her eyes were full of distress that couldn't be hidden.I could only smile at her obediently, "Concubine Mu, don't be angry, I'm really recuperating this time, and I won't go anywhere."

In fact, I said this to coax Concubine Zhuang. It is a troubled time right now. I don't want Princess Twelve to marry Lin Chongtan, but my foot injury is not healed. Concubine Zhuang will definitely watch me very closely.

While I was worrying about this, Lin Chongtan's imperial edict came down.The imperial edict surprised almost everyone. The emperor did not keep Lin Chongtan in the capital, but asked him to go to Lingnan to be the magistrate of Lingnan.

Lingnan is the most impoverished place in our dynasty, where the seasons are hot, and most of the people have not developed their wisdom. I read from books that only the very rich can study there, and most people think that reading is useless.

As for Lingnan magistrates, they were sent out from the ranks of minor officials, the number one scholar, and we have also done so in our court, but the places where they were sent out were not rich places such as Jinling, Gusu, or places not far from Beijing. .

There has never been such a precedent for Lin Chongtan.

After I learned the news, Lin Chongtan's appointment as Lingnan magistrate should have something to do with his interview.I asked someone to inquire about the palace servants who served in front of the imperial court that day, and asked a few questions.

The palace man replied that at that time only Lin Chongtan and the emperor were in the hall, and everyone else withdrew.No one knew about the conversation between the monarch and his ministers, only that after Lin Chongtan left, the emperor was in a bad mood and sent someone to call the prince.

Within a few days, Lin Chongtan's edict came down.

Lin Chongtan was sent to Lingnan, so naturally he would no longer be the son-in-law of the twelve princesses, and the emperor would not let his daughter go to such a poor place.

After the edict was issued, the Twelve Princesses did not go on a hunger strike and committed suicide.Immediately afterwards, on the second day, the edicts of No. [-], Tan Hualang and others came down one after another.

All the top [-] Scholars remained in the capital, and only Lin Chongtan, the No. [-] scholar with three consecutive awards, was released.

Tanhualang Pu Ruonan was revised by Feng Hanlin Academy, and his official position is faintly better than the second place in the list.

Not long after Lin Chongtan’s edict came down, he asked Song Nan to hand over the letter to me, which stated that he would leave Beijing before the beginning of spring, and that he would not be able to survive even a year. When he arrived in Lingnan, he would have to stay for at least three to five years.

He asked me to meet.

I looked at the words Lin Zhongtan Luanxiang Fengzhu on the letter, and threw it into the brazier in silence for a moment.I can't let Lin Chongtan leave the capital like this. In three to five years, who knows how long he will stay in Lingnan, everything depends on the holy will, so everything is variable.

I can't afford to wait for three to five years, the hatred in my heart will not fade away.In three to five years, it will be enough for Lin Chongtan to marry and have a son in Lingnan. Then I will take revenge on him. His wife and children are so innocent.

Instead of going to the last step and feeling sorry for more people, it is better to get rid of Lin Chongtan now.His release to Lingnan also told me a very important message.

The prince should not trust Lin Chongtan so much. One moment the prince recommended Lin Chongtan as the son-in-law of the twelve princesses, but the next moment Lin Chongtan was demoted to Lingnan.

Perhaps the prince made Lin Chongtan his son-in-law for two purposes, one is to win over Lin Chongtan better, and the other is to see whether Lin Chongtan is loyal or not.

And Lin Chongtan was exiled to the south of the Five Ridges after facing the Holy Queen, to a certain extent, he refused to marry the Twelve Princesses.

The crown prince acquiesced to Lin Chongtan's release, perhaps he was gradually giving up Lin Chongtan.If a dog is unfaithful, no matter how useful it is, it is useless. If you keep it by your side, you will be afraid of it, fearing that the dog will bite your hand.

If the crown prince is really going to give up Lin Chongtan, then I need to do one more thing.

The prince's indulgence to me has already left me speechless, and I still want to see what step he can do for me.

After the injury on the back of my foot was healed, I ignored Lin Chongtan's invitation and went to the Eastern Palace with the scroll.

As the crown prince, the prince has many things to do every day, especially since he started to help the emperor revise the memorials and deal with the government affairs very early on. Recently, he has his marriage, the marriage of the twelve princesses, so he is even more busy.

I took the scroll and sat next to the prince who was correcting the memorial. He raised his eyelids and looked at me, then continued to revise the memorial with his head down.

The people from the East Palace brought milk tea, I took a sip and found that it was the milk tea made by the Imperial Dining Room.When I came to the East Palace before, what was served was still tea, but now it has become milk tea.

I finished drinking the milk tea in a while, I put down the porcelain bowl, and looked at the prince again.He was still correcting the memorial, I waited for a while, and asked him, "How long do you need?"

"What's wrong?" said the prince.

"There is something I don't understand in the book, and I can't go to Taixue during this time, so I'll ask the prince." I paused, "But the prince seems to be very busy, why don't I ask the fourth brother, the fourth brother Maybe you know too."

The prince sneered, "What does he know? When I was studying in Taixue, my grades were at the bottom."

The prince is lying, I have seen the grades of the fourth prince, although I can't say they are excellent, they are still at the average level.

But I didn't expose him, I just opened the book, "But I don't know when I will be able to finish your work, are you going to be busy until dark?"

Hearing what I said, the crown prince stopped after correcting the memorial in his hand, and took my book over, "What don't you understand?"

I suppressed the surprise in my heart and pointed out to him what I couldn't understand.The prince took a few glances and then answered me.The knowledge of the crown prince of a country is not bad, but the level of the crown prince's lectures is not as good as that of Lin Chongtan. I didn't understand the first time I heard it.

He found me staring at him blankly, raised his hand and knocked on my forehead, "Why are you so stupid, Gu will tell you again."

This time the prince spoke more slowly and in more detail.After I understood, I didn't wait for him to take a breath, and immediately asked the second question.

Today, I purposely ask the prince about the things I don't understand, not only to find out his mind, but also to really learn something.

Although the prince said that I was stupid, he still patiently talked to me about the topic, but he knocked me on the forehead several times, so I just covered my forehead in the end.

He couldn't hit my forehead, so he stretched out his fingers and flicked my cheek.My cheeks hurt even more than my forehead. I looked at the prince in pain, only to find that he was looking at my hand with a surprised expression.

Then he looked at me and reached out to tear off my hand covering my face, but I refused for fear that he would flick my cheek again.The prince pursed his lips, looking a little embarrassed, "I won't flick you in the face, put your hands down, look at me, is your face red?"

I hesitated for a moment, then slowly put down my hand.

His eyes suddenly became more serious, and his fingertips were raised.When I saw him raise his hand, I couldn't help hiding, but I quickly stabilized my body and watched his fingertips touch my face that was still hurting.

His dry and warm fingertips were pressed against my cheek, and I could feel him stroking my skin.

I felt a little uncomfortable, and my fingers on the table curled up uncontrollably.

"It's red." The prince whispered, and he turned to call out to the palace servants outside, "Come here, bring the ointment you applied."

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This one doesn't need ointment, it will disappear after a while."

But the prince looked serious, "It's winter now, maybe I hurt my skin, and I will get frostbite when I go out to blow the wind later. My brother wants to get frostbite on his face, and the frostbite on his face will recur every year. If it is serious, the skin will rot. See the meat inside."

He noticed that my expression was getting more and more wrong, so he stopped talking, "So can't I take the medicine?"

I raised my hand and touched my face. Although I felt that what the prince said was exaggerated, I was also afraid that what he said was true.

I don't want to make a bad face.

The ointment was delivered quickly, I wanted to apply it myself, but the crown prince took the ointment first.He cleaned his hands first, then dipped the ointment on his fingertips and applied it on my cheeks.

Applying the medicine was better than when he touched my face just now, but when he applied the medicine, his face was very close to me, as if he wanted to see the wound on my face clearly at a close distance.

Being so close, I can almost see the prince's distinct eyelashes clearly.The tails of his eyes are naturally upturned, which is more obvious when he squints at people.

He really looks like a woman, especially when his brows and eyes are not angry, I couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.

The prince seemed to realize that I was staring at his face in a daze, and he hooked his lower lip.Because of this hooked lips, the beauty of her face became even more dazzling.

Such as hibiscus, such as jade water, lush spring pine.

"Does it look good?" he asked me.

I nodded instinctively, and after nodding, I realized something was wrong, and quickly stepped back and stood up.The crown prince was still sitting in his seat, he looked up at me, laughed out loud, and said, "I never thought that brother Gu is still a pervert."

I was a little ashamed by what he said, and I couldn't justify it.I was indeed dumbfounded by the prince's face just now.

If he was a woman, maybe...

No, if he was a woman, how could there be such a bad woman in the world.

Cloudy and sunny, violent and unrestrained, killing people like hemp.

I stabilized my mind and picked up the scroll on the desk, "The medicine is finished, but you haven't finished your topic yet."

The prince glanced at the sky outside, "I'll talk about it later, you go to the side hall to have something to eat first."

I knew he was going to change the memorial again, I didn't refuse, and left with the palace servants.After eating, I was a little sleepy, thinking that the prince must still be busy, so I simply fell asleep in the side hall.

This time I fell asleep until the snow stopped, I listened to the movement outside the window, turned over slowly, but suddenly met a face.

The prince actually sat beside the couch where I slept, and I don't know how long he sat here. Seeing me looking at him in surprise, he said to me calmly: "Wake up, get up."

Just as I was about to nod, my eyes touched the sachet hanging from the prince's waist.When I got drunk from the diorama, I took off the prince’s sachet to play with, but I was so drunk at the time that I couldn’t remember afterwards whether there was a small portrait of the eldest princess in the sachet.

Thinking about it, I reached out to the prince's sachet.

Before the hand touched the sachet, it was clasped by a hand.

The prince's expression was the same as usual, "What are you doing?"

"I want your sachet." I said, sat up, and brought over the robe I had left beside the bed.I handed the sachet on my waist to the prince, "We exchange it."

One of my hands was still held by the prince, he didn't speak for a long time, just looked at me.The prince is worthy of being immersed in power for many years. When he sees people without saying a word, he can make people fear him.

Being stared at by him like this, I couldn't help sweating from behind, but I still stubbornly handed my sachet to him.

I don't know how long it took, the prince finally let go of my hand, he tore off the sachet from his waist and handed it to me, took my sachet and hung it on his waist.

I got the prince's sachet and opened it directly in front of him.At the same time as I opened it, the prince's cold voice sounded.

"What are you looking for?"
